He simply swung his saber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hands, that standard-issue long saber seemed to come alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every slash was accompanied by an intensely condensed, crimson saber gang. The gang left his blade yet held its form, cutting visible ripples through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames parted automatically before the saber gang, and the putrid black mist was swept away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PSHLAAA!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saber gang struck the Fungal Descendant Corpse King’s massive body. It didn’t make a dull thud, but rather the sharp sound of tearing cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defense formed of tough mycelia and bone was as fragile as paper-mache before the saber gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huge swathes of corrupted tissue were easily stripped away, leaving wounds as smooth as a mirror. The internal network of mycelia didn’t even have time to regenerate before it was utterly pulverized by the tyrannical power contained within the saber gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three military Martial Artists were equally formidable. They, too, were in the Gang Condensation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were likely only at the Early Stage of Condensing Gang Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them, led by Shi Ruifeng, formed a battle formation, balanced in both offense and defense. Every attack precisely struck the Corpse King’s joints and energy-flow nodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GUUUH—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fungal Descendant Corpse King let out a low cry filled with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could sense that these four humans who had just appeared were on a completely different level from the kid who, while troublesome, was still manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them had perfect coordination. Without any need for verbal communication, they naturally divided their attack zones, forming an unbreakable net of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Lin Ye’s presence seemed almost redundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he stayed here, he would just disrupt the attack rhythm of the four Gang Condensation Realm experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s brow furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Killing this monster is a side quest issued by the system.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The reward for this quest is a permanent optimization and upgrade to my core mechanism, Taotie.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is a reward I have to get.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There’s no way I’m just going to stand by and watch someone else steal this kill.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Lin Ye no longer hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure blurred and turned illusory where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Shift!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frenzy, activate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VMMM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air vibrated faintly, and Lin Ye’s figure abruptly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, he reappeared like a ghost in the only remaining gap in Shi Ruifeng’s four-man encirclement, perfectly filling a blind spot that had just opened up as the Fungal Descendant Corpse King twisted its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of this instantly caused the four of them, who were in the middle of an all-out assault, to freeze in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So fast!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ruifeng’s pupils contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, when he had seen Lin Ye use this move to unleash a burst of extreme speed on video playback, he had merely been impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, on the battlefield, seeing Lin Ye execute it right beside him... the visual impact was far greater than anything that could be conveyed through a screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This speed... it’s actually a bit faster than my own at full power!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ruifeng felt like this year was cursed. Monstrously talented rookies were popping up one after another all over the country like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, even a third-tier city like Dongjiang could produce such an unreasonable monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current realm was the Mid-stage of Condensing Gang Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the young man before him, according to the files, had only just entered the Vein Opening Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an entire major realm separating them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Shi Ruifeng was struck by a sense of absurd frustration. ’Have the decades I’ve spent on the martial path all gone to waste?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he had subconsciously been about to tell Lin Ye to step aside and leave this to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the aftershocks from a battle between Gang Condensation Realm cultivators were enough to be a fatal threat to a Vein Opening Realm Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the two words \"fall back\" were on the tip of his tongue, and yet he couldn’t bring himself to say them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Shi Ruifeng was horrified to discover that it wasn’t just Lin Ye’s instantaneous burst of speed that had shocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combat power the kid was displaying now with his every move was even more unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s realm aura hadn’t changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his strength, his reflexes, and even his grasp of combat opportunities seemed to have truly leaped over a massive threshold, forcibly squeezing him past the doorway to the Gang Condensation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his use of that power was still a bit green, and he lacked the special effects unique to Gang Sha...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...he was now truly capable of integrating into their four-person strike formation and precisely filling that fleeting gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...he absolutely wasn’t dragging them down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye could actually keep up with their rhythm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ruifeng silently branded Lin Ye with that label in his mind, and then he too unleashed his full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s powerful entrance seemed to ignite not only the fighting spirit of the other three soldiers but also a sliver of competitive urgency they hadn’t dared to acknowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If a junior in the Vein Opening Realm can be this ferocious, how can we, his seniors, let ourselves be outshone?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, five figures weaved through the sea of fire, the glint of sabers and spears forming a continuous blur as their assault grew ever more frenzied!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fungal Descendant Corpse King’s size was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「A few dozen seconds later.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one last slash, Shi Ruifeng cleaved off the remaining half of the Corpse King’s body, completely stripping away its outer shell of corrupted flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It revealed its most fundamental composition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a core mass formed from the aggregation of countless mycelial threads, each shimmering with a faint, milky-white halo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These mycelia seemed to have a life of their own. Freed from the confines of the skeleton, they were tough enough to briefly survive even within the raging flames.\u003C\u002Fp>",1034,"2026-06-06T10:31:47.882Z",1,"novelbin.me","12c9c6cb09e270c6c54d48d76e7eef4dfc4e98312a1fa69158bac6da62bf1a91","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-241","how-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-chapter-239",250,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-do-we-play-if-this-boss-isn-t-nerfed-cover.jpg"]
