Chapter 248: Full Firepower

Su Sheng stopped retreating, stared at the spear tip ahead, lifted his shield and slammed it upward.

Shield Strike!

Bang!

Clack~

A grating sound that made one's teeth tingle.

The shield's edge collided with the spear tip, and under Su Sheng's deft control, this was judged as a Shield Block against Li Hua Luo's spear attack.

-45

A double‑digit white damage number popped up over Su Sheng's head.

At the same time the long spear was deflected by the shield, but the shield, still full‑strength, slammed onto Li Hua Luo.

-1777

Seeing the damage number over Li Hua Luo's head, Su Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking the guy's defense wasn't low; Su Sheng also had the Priest buff, raising his original 1855 attack‑defense balance to just over 2000, plus the Shield Strike's 1.7 defense‑ratio damage.

It only dealt 1777 damage, and after subtracting the knight's damage‑reduction panel, the guy's defense still wouldn't be low.

Although this time it was a blood swap and Li Hua Luo seemed blood‑deficient, as someone who invests in strength and plans to become a War Knight, Li Hua Luo's HP isn't as thick as a typical shield‑knight's, and this directly took away about a third of his health.

But Li Hua Luo smiled, because Su Sheng counter‑attacked, leaving no chance to dodge those two Binding Talismans.

Li Hua Luo also knew that Su Sheng's Hidden Class has a Decontrol Skill.

But that doesn't matter; once decontrolled, it means Su Sheng's Bottom Card is reduced, and the Decontrol Skill's cooldown certainly won't be short.

Li Hua Luo was still a bit worried about the last time Mo Wen Qianchen snatched the BOSS in the Super Saiyan form; although he wasn't present then, he later watched the scene on video. Of course that video was recorded by someone from Qiancheng Muxue, so it naturally wouldn't be posted on the game forum—after all, it would be embarrassing.

Li Hua Luo recognized it immediately as a special Dominant Body state.

Standard control, immunity!

After dealing with each other so many times, Su Sheng's tactics have basically been analyzed by the Qiancheng Muxue side.

First, his high attack and high defense attributes; second, top‑tier execution skills; and also some burst techniques.

Speed is his weak point, but he has a burst ability that can unleash terrifying speed for a period.

Secondly, decontrol, survivability…

Now there's an additional Super Saiyan state that grants Dominant Body.

Made.

Thinking of this, Li Hua Luo couldn't help but mutter inwardly, "Truly inhuman... pervert."

I must admit, your greatest understander is often your enemy; the Qiancheng Muxue side has looped and studied Su Sheng's past videos repeatedly.

Of course, Li Hua Luo also knows that in this state, he certainly can't match Mo Wen Qianchen.

After all, the other's level is higher, the gear looks better, and he also has a Hidden Class.

As for operational awareness, as a renowned expert, Li Hua Luo tells himself he's not far behind Mo Wen Qianchen.

If he's already at second evolution, Li Hua Luo still has some confidence to contend with Mo Wen Qianchen.

Now, his mission is to stall Mo Wen Qianchen as long as possible, and secondly to force out his Bottom Card.

Even if he loses, once Mo Wen Qianchen's Bottom Card is mostly revealed, he could be beaten to death by a mob.

After all, Qiancheng Muxue has many members.

Although it looks chaotic now, the Qiancheng Muxue side still has over ten thousand people.

Grinding~

At the same time, two Healing Techniques dropped.

Li Hua Luo's HP was restored.

Shen Yang slipped away; the Qiancheng Muxue priest players naturally had no one to harass them, and after regrouping they began to support other players.

His HP was maxed, and Li Hua Luo's confidence returned.

Behind him was the entire Qiancheng Muxue Priest Guild.

At this moment, Mo Wen Qianchen, deep in enemy territory alone, had no priest support.

Smack~

Two Binding Talismans flew toward Su Sheng; at this distance, after counter‑attacking Li Hua Luo, there was no time to dodge.

Su Sheng's eyes flashed as he gauged the distance between Yanhuang Guild members and Qiancheng Muxue members.

Close enough, approaching.

Both sides' Mage groups could now start clashing.

He must blaze a trail.

He ordered the Yanhuang Guild members to escort the Tie Chui Airen squad through the Qiancheng Muxue front line.

Can't delay any longer!

This place isn't far from Wutong Town.

Those dead Qiancheng Muxue players, if not accounting for elapsed time, will resurrect and rush out again, catching up in just over ten minutes.

Since that's the case…

Then I won't play with you.

Su Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He stared at the two Binding Talismans.

Lion's Fury!

Boom! A golden Lion Head Halo spectacularly appeared on Su Sheng.

Rage State!

War Rhythm!

Begin!

Hunting stance, begin!

The Binding Talisman exploded on Su Sheng, just in time to combine with two other Mages' attacks, destroying Su Sheng's final shield value.

And the mythical lion's Fireworks Blessing has 37 seconds left on cooldown.

But, a minor issue.

Knight's resolve!

Su Sheng's Battle Intent is now at the full 100 points and has never dropped.

All at once, a white shield reappears; with 100 Battle Intent points, the shield value is roughly over 3,000.

Still very good.

A step forward, under terrifying Agility boost, Su Sheng's figure flashes.

At level 42, Su Sheng's attack‑defense balance reaches 1,855; with the Priest BUFF it rises above 2,000, and after Lion's Fury amplification it exceeds 2,300.

So fast!

Seeing Lihualuo, who had transformed Su Sheng, his pupils narrowed slightly.

Then he prepared to retreat, to avoid its edge.

But he found himself unable to move; Lihualuo's expression changed, and looking down he saw a ring of white mist coiling around his own leg.

What the heck!

Combat tip: You are affected by player Mo Wen Qianchen's pet skill 'Smoke Swirl', entering Stasis for 5 seconds.

5‑second lock!!

When masters duel, even a reaction lag of a few tenths of a second makes a world of difference, let alone this five‑second Stasis; many masters will push pain to the limit just to gain those few‑tenths of a second of reaction time.

Lihualuo, in despair, closed his eyes; he has no Decontrol Skill, it's over...

So far, Mo Wen Qianchen has never revealed the Bottom Card of having a Strong Control skill.

Who would have thought Mo Wen Qianchen lacks Strong Control skill himself, yet raised a pet that has Strong Control skill.

Su Sheng swings his sword in a Sweep... Lion's Claw!

If time weren't pressing, Su Sheng wouldn't mind sparring with Lihualuo; in terms of pure combat awareness, Lihualuo is commendable. But if his own Bottom Cards weren't sufficient, that last move alone would have left him flustered.

The keen sword slashes across Qiancheng Lihualuo's neck.

-11117

Although there was no critical hit, Lion's Claw's 3.3 multiplier plus Weak Spot Attack was enough!

Qiancheng Lihualuo instantly turned into white light; a pure‑force Knight, Lihualuo simply doesn't have that much HP.

Even Su Sheng, without the Priest BUFF, only has about 12,000 HP.

No chance for the Priest's heal; it was an instant kill!
