Chapter 1001

Hearing the prompt from the game space,

Gu Xuan refused without hesitation.

They had agreed on one run for clearing the stage and one run for guarding it,

but now both were happening simultaneously to claim both rewards.

That meant he could not give up halfway.

"Continue using the Special Identity Card to guard the stage!"

As Gu Xuan communicated with the game space through his will,

golden warm light appeared once more, enveloping him.

When Gu Xuan opened his eyes again,

he found himself once more on the familiar BOSS throne.

However, this time, the fierce beast carved on the throne's armrest

had changed from Taowu to Chaos...

And as Gu Xuan ascended the BOSS throne,

the other three seats on the field

were now occupied by players.

【Game Preparation Phase!】

【Please wait for the BOSS to descend!】

After the game space broadcast a round of reminders in the arena,

a square golden-blue BOSS General Pool

appeared before Gu Xuan.

【Boundary God Xun Yu】, 【Qingyuan Miaodao True Lord Yang Jian】, 【Divine Jia Xu】,

【SP Divine Xiahou Dun】, 【Taowu】, 【Nian Beast】,

【Goddess of Luo River】, 【God of Fire at Red Cliffs】, 【General of the Heavenly Duke】,

【Peerless Demoness】...

A string of BOSSes whose names alone sounded formidable appeared in Gu Xuan's general selection frame.

Although Gu Xuan coveted the top-tier BOSSes among them,

he had no choice.

The rules of the BOSS-guarding mode restricted him.

Players clearing the stage could choose one from five generals, and even coordinate with each other,

but the BOSS could only have the game space draw a general to face the stage-clearing players.

Golden cards flipped within the general pool.

Finally,

a BOSS general card flew out,

hovering before Gu Xuan.

"Divine Jia Xu..."

Gu Xuan looked at the golden card before him.

"Is this the Divine Jia Xu from Extreme Strategy Three Kingdoms?"

Why did it look so different?

Could it be a player-made DIY version?

He reached out and touched it lightly.

Divine Jia Xu's skills instantly appeared in his mind.

【Disaster Plan】, 【Disaster Annihilation】, 【Curtain Concealment】, 【Life Suppression】, 【Heavenly Punishment】...

"Sss... When current stamina does not equal maximum stamina, forcibly set current stamina equal to maximum stamina?!!"

Looking at the description of one of the skills, 【Curtain Concealment】, before him,

Gu Xuan couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

This damn thing was basically an invincibility cheat!

Divine Jia Xu starts with three stamina points and four armor points.

Unless one first strips away his armor and then uses a burst general like Boundary Xu Sheng or Strategist Huang Zhong,

to slash Divine Jia Xu to death in one strike and send him into near-death state,

otherwise,

any other damage of one or two points, for Divine Jia Xu,

was essentially no different from taking no damage at all!

Gu Xuan was now certain in his heart

that this was indeed a player-made general.

However,

was it really possible that such an overpowered DIY general was drawn by him in the second stage?

Game space, you really don't want to give the stage-clearing players a single chance to survive, do you?

Of course, it wasn't truly unbeatable.

"This general does have weaknesses..."

Similar to the negative effect of Divine Zhuge Liang's 【Heavy Fog】.

Thick fog fears only heavenly thunder!

But the divine Jia Xu fears lightning,

With the 【Heavenly Punishment】 skill,

The divine Jia Xu dies instantly if struck by lightning!

Even peaches cannot revive him!

"This negative skill's effect is certainly not negligible…"

Perhaps sometimes his luck really does sink to this level?

Moreover, during the boss challenge,

When he drains a player's health,

The player randomly learns one of his skills,

If the challenger learns this skill,

It truly becomes a threat.

"So… I must keep a 【Wu Xie Ke Ji】 card in my hand…"

The instant he learned the divine Jia Xu's warrior skill,

Gu Xuan had already roughly planned what to do,

And at the same time,

The arena echoed with the game space's announcement!

【The boss of this stage is: Divine Jia Xu!】

【All challengers, prepare yourselves!】

【Challenge is about to begin!】
