Chapter 986: Instant Kill

Now is not the time to get tangled in these oddities; everyone immediately began cooperating with Su Sheng to take over the boss.

However, no matter how you look at it, it is only an Elite Boss.

Even a Demon Race unit wouldn't be that outrageous. After Su Sheng, with his terrifying stats, steadied the early chaos, he smoothly entered the rhythm of battling the boss.

Similar to the earlier Nether Leopards, this Shadow Leopard boss is also a high‑attack, low‑defense entity.

Its attack power was even hard for Su Sheng to endure, but thanks to the Holy Word Buff, the Falling Demon Body, the damage immunity from Shield Block and the high damage reduction from Defensive Stance, plus Suanni's Fireworks Blessing Shield, he barely held up.

Otherwise, just this one encounter would have forced Su Sheng to use his Survival Skill in a short time.

Of course, once the others reacted and with the healer's assistance, the problem wasn't big. As long as Su Sheng wasn't instantly killed, he basically couldn't die.

Now there's only one monster; with Su Sheng as the main tank holding it and so many healers watching from behind, how could he possibly die?

Yan Huang had close to 20,000 people, Huan Yu close to 10,000, and after subtracting casualties, there were still about 30,000 in total.

What does it mean for nearly 30,000 top elites to besiege a level‑75 Elite Boss?

Naturally there was no pressure at all, as long as Su Sheng, the main tank, could hold on.

Moreover, due to the boss's glass‑cannon trait, its health dropped by 10% in less than a few minutes, down to 90%.

First Health Axis!

Swish~

In an instant, the Shadow Leopard's Hate Value was completely cleared!

Immediately after, the Shadow Leopard vanished entirely.

It turned invisible again!

"Detection Arrow!"

Someone almost reflexively shouted. Then several Detection Arrows shot upward.

Only, they seemed to have forgotten... the Detection Arrows above their heads had never disappeared.

After those Detection Arrows were fired, there was no feedback.

And the white light arrow that originally summoned this Shadow Leopard had already dissipated during their battle, its origin unknown.

At this point, the group only then realized that the Shadow Leopard's stealth couldn't be revealed by ordinary Detection Arrows.

What now?

However, Su Sheng simply gathered his spirit on the spot, and the other masters almost all did the same.

Since Detection Arrows can't reveal it, they must rely on technical means to discern it.

In this kind of operation, Su Sheng was, of course, the one to take the lead!

The others kept focusing, trying to locate the stealthy Nether Leopard, but Shen Wang and Shen Xiao… and the former Assassin Alliance's Yan Huang Assassin Team made no move, turning their heads toward Su Sheng.

In less than two seconds, Su Sheng opened his eyes and Suanni's Leap activated immediately…

Suanni leapt high, its direction pointing straight… at Huang Mingxin of the Yan Huang Priest Guild.

Seeing Su Sheng's move, the two girls from the former Huakui Studio—Zhang Ziyuan and Li Wenyan—who had been guarding Huang Mingxin, one a Trap Formation Warrior, the other a Furious Warrior, rushed forward and stood before Huang Mingxin.

Among the former Huakui Studio girls, besides Zhou Qiqi who ran behind the Assassin Guild, Li Wenyan, Zhang Ziyuan, and Murong Peipei had all risen to small‑team leader positions within Yan Huang.

Li Wenwan, Huang Mingxin, and Wu Zhaodi—these few are all at the Group Leader level.

Computational power fell from mid‑air; Su Sheng thrust his long spear straight into the void.

Fang!

A massive black shadow was pierced out of thin air by the spear, revealing the stealthy Shadow Leopard.

Moreover, that spear oddly triggered a Rend effect!

"Roar!"

The Shadow Leopard let out a roar, its Hate Value resurfaced, and it immediately turned and bit at Su Sheng.

Su Sheng stayed calm, raised his shield, and tossed a Taunt.

The others also recovered, promptly beginning to respond.

Among them, Huang Mingxin cast Healing Technique on Su Sheng while repositioning.

After this creature's Health Axis cleared its Hate and stealth, it oddly chose the healer as its target; I must say, it's quite cunning.

But recalling how those Nether Leopards mass‑stealthed to ambush the backline, this Shadow Leopard boss's behavior now makes sense.

"Awesome! Even Detection Arrows couldn't locate this boss, yet Mo Wen the Great actually pinpointed its position."

"Did you notice that Shen Wang seemed to know that Mo Wen the Great could locate this boss, and just waited for Mo Wen's move?"

"Otherwise, calling them a big shot? They must have a bit more mutual understanding."

"Truly the world's top expert."

Spectator players chatted endlessly, marveling at Su Sheng's extraordinary performance.

After all, this is a stealth unit that even Detection Arrows can't generate.

There were over 30,000 masters present; those 30,000+ definitely count as top players on the Domestic Server, yet Su Sheng alone found the boss's location.

That alone already sufficiently showcases Su Sheng's strength.

"Slow down the damage output, let the defensive knights form a circle, and block immediately when the Health Axis arrives!!"

Zhang Zhi immediately made the corresponding arrangement; after all, with 30,000 people present, there's only one boss.

Stealth what? Detection Arrows can't find it—so what?

Since there is a collision volume, just block the path completely.

There are policies above and countermeasures below, after all.

So, the second Health Axis arrived quickly, and the defensive knights immediately formed a circle.

Everyone stood shoulder‑to‑shoulder, raised a massive Tower Shield, and activated Defensive Stance.

The defense knights all use huge tower shields, which linked together form a circle like a city wall.

Swish~

The shadow Leopard stealthed again.

However, they still couldn't wait for Su Sheng to find them when, in front of one of the Universe's defense knights, a huge cold ray flashed by.

Pfft!

Instant kill!

Piercing invisibility strike!

That is a level 64 defense knight, and moreover one of the Universe's aces.

But just like that, they were instantly killed?

Moreover, he didn't even have a survival skill, and directly turned into white light and returned to town.

However, at the same time the boss's figure appeared again.

Everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

This instantly killed a level 64 defense knight who had activated their defensive stance.

Although they had the health axis and piercing invisibility strike boost, this also proves that the boss's attack is ridiculously high.

Of course, this also indirectly proves Su Sheng's abnormality.

However, with the previous health axis, the boss's piercing invisibility strike couldn't be unleashed, because his invisibility was detected by Su Sheng's attack.

A boss with such high attack power can actually withstand it steadily.

The boss appeared, and Su Sheng directly charged forward to take over.

The other defense knights once again pulled back their distance.

Shen Wang's expression was actually normal, after all he came to take advantage; having casualties is normal.

In the previous battle, the Yan and Huang also suffered many casualties…
