Chapter 1196: Dao Heart Shattered

The boss's health was already down to just over 20%, and because Su Sheng disrupted its rhythm, the boss recovered quite a bit.

But just now Su Sheng used Awakening Lion Roar, landing a critical hit on the boss, so the boss's health dropped straight to 20%.

And that spear thrust just now seemed casual, but the Eagle Sauce Guard Knight, having fought this boss for so long, knew that the thrust was actually the boss's Health Axis Skill!

Meanwhile, the Huaxia player casually raised a shield, granting a Block Exemption against the boss's Blood Axis Thrust.

That was the main reason he was shocked!

If Su Sheng had only Blocked a normal boss attack, he wouldn't have been this shocked.

But… that was the boss's Health Axis Skill, a level‑75 Commander-level Boss's Health Axis Skill. Could you at least respect the boss's status? To casually Block Exempt it makes us look weak.

So the Dao Heart shattering has a reason…

…

Su Sheng naturally didn't know this, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

He knew it was a level‑75 Commander-level Boss, so using Shield Strike to Block it just now was already giving it a lot of face.

The remaining few Yingjiang players, like a couple of kittens, Su Sheng was too lazy to chase; after all, if he ignored this boss, it would start healing.

Just a few rag‑clad Yingjiang players, their value wasn't as high as this level‑75 Commander-level Boss in front of him.

Picking up a low‑HP boss now isn't bad; letting the boss heal, fighting it again wastes time, but not fighting feels a bit wasteful.

So Su Sheng, right in front of that Eagle Sauce Guard Knight, started fighting the boss.

Controlling his mythical lion, he sidestepped, evaded the boss, then thrust his long spear diagonally for a second attack!

Poisonous Snake Venom Activation!

Puff—

Immediate Forbidden Healing, 5 seconds!

I must admit, the Magic Snake Fang Pendant may be a purple pendant, but its attached skill is truly useful; my Fang Skill still relies on chance, and Deadly Tear Fang needs a stable weak point, yet with this Skeleton Frame in front, I don't even know where its weak point is.

And the Eagle Sauce Guard Knight's eyes were wide open, not blinking—what the heck is this?

He's seen skilled players with good positioning dodge a boss's attacks, so he can understand that.

But this person is riding a mount—can a mount be that agile?

And Su Sheng naturally wouldn't explain.

Ordinary mounts lack such responsiveness, but a mythical lion isn't an ordinary mount.

Block!

Attack!

Attack!

Skill after skill erupted, each strike precisely taking a chunk of the boss's health.

Su Sheng's attacks at this moment were extremely perverse.

The Guard Knight was, throughout, questioning his life.

Leave?

The Huaxia player's attention is on the boss now; he didn't chase the two who fled earlier, so if he leaves now, he'll likely get away.

But he no longer wants to leave; he wants to see just how perverse this Huaxia player is.

This boss, their Thousand-Person Team, has fought through countless hardships; why does this Huaxia player act so perverse?

I must say, a level‑75 Commander-level Boss still has some value.

Su Sheng's health still dropped.

The Eagle Sauce Guard Knight, who was already questioning his life, finally couldn't help but smile at Su Sheng's decreasing health.

Well, you still can't defy fate; you're just one person, without a Priest's support, and regular healing potions all have cooldowns.

I don't believe you can…

But before the Yingjiang player's thought could settle, his facial expression froze.

He saw a sudden red flame surge on the Huaxia player, and the black cloak swirling with Demon Energy turned red.

Then…

One spear!

Critical hit!!

Terrifying damage erupted!

And Su Sheng's lost health bar instantly replenished.

Thirsty Blood Hunt!!

3.5× multiplier, additionally ignoring 30% defense, plus the Divine Artifact's armor penetration; a critical hit dealt over a hundred thousand damage outright.

With innate 50% Vampiric Skill, it restored tens of thousands of health to Su Sheng; although the Falling Demon Body reduced damage slightly, the Thirsty Blood Hunt's rank couldn't exempt the Falling Demon Body's healing suppression, so to heal, the Falling Demon Body skill must be removed.

But with Red Flame Lion present, the converted magical damage compensated for that shortfall.

Vampiric Skill!

So perverse?

Among regular classes, only Warriors have Vampiric Skill; Furious Warriors have higher vampirism, and Trap Formation Warriors also possess some vampiric ability.

And he hasn't heard of any hidden Vampiric Skill.

Right, Hidden Class…

The bewildered Yingjiang player felt the worldview had completely collapsed; he'd seen some videos, but he wouldn't use a VPN—just videos circulating on the Eagle Sauce Server forums.

He only thought they were somewhat exaggerated.

But now he saw it with his own eyes…

Why, as fellow players, is the gap so huge?

Cheating?!

Immediately, this Yingjiang Players thought of something; according to him, the warriors' Vampiric Skill has a long cooldown.

So what if you have Vampiric Skill?

Without Priest support, I don't believe you can sustain yourself relying solely on that Vampiric Skill with such a long cooldown.

Then…

He froze again.

Fireworks Blessing!!

He saw that the hated Huaxia Players' health bar was covered with a thick shield.

Damn it!

Is this even human?!

Then, in the twilight when his worldview once collapsed.

That Boss's HP was whittled down to 10% by Su Sheng bit by bit.

As for Su Sheng himself, his HP stayed above the safety line the whole time.

However, as the Boss's HP was suppressed to 10%, the Boss's entire skeleton frame ignited with fierce gray-white flames.

Hiss—

Though it had no vocal cords, its mouth opened and emitted a piercing hiss.

Rage Blood Axis!!

Su Sheng's face also grew solemn.

And at that moment, this Yingjiang Players finally broke into a full smile.

Hmph, no matter how strong you are, this is the Rage Blood Axis of a level 75 Boss!!

If you've got the guts, hold it again!

Hum—

See, the Boss pointed its white bone spear at Su Sheng.

Behind it, trails of gray death energy condensed into the semblance of Undead Centaur Cavalry.

Swish—

Though formed merely from gray death energy, they all bore ferocious faces and wielded Skeleton Spears.

They surged forward in mighty waves toward Su Sheng…
