60: Chapter 57: Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Slaying Demons and Eradicating Evil Spirits 60: Chapter 57: Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Slaying Demons and Eradicating Evil Spirits Shit, it didn’t burn to death? Looking at the Tian Family Mansion blaze fiercely behind Tian Youcai, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but be surprised. Is the environmental damage too low, or does this guy have fire resistance? Regardless of the reason, the only choice right now was to fight. Fortunately, although the fire didn’t kill the BOSS, it did burn away most of its health points, leaving it with less than 300, which wasn’t a big problem. However, since the opponent was a level 10 mini-BOSS, Xiao Jie cautiously chose to deal damage from a distance. “Shoot the arrows!” Xiao Jie didn’t hesitate to start shooting, and ‘I Want to Be Immortal’ also began firing; both moved slowly while shooting, maintaining distance, fearing the enemy would charge at them. The two only had basic bow skill, which ensured accuracy within twenty to thirty meters, but any farther would rely on luck, so they couldn’t run too far. To Xiao Jie’s surprise, Tian Youcai didn’t charge at them; instead, he held a sword in one hand and a magic formula in the other, mumbling words under his breath. Tian Youcai (Demon Leader): “Divine Talisman in hand, laws are mine to command, Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, descend swiftly, heed my command, slay demons and exorcise evil, listen to my order, slay demons and exorcise evil!” “Feng, look quickly!” Xiao Jie turned around to see the straw men in the surrounding wheat fields as if they had heeded the call, turning direction and encircled towards them. Fortunately, these straw men moved sluggishly, and it would take a bit of time to surround them. “Ignore them, keep shooting! Dogs, attack!” If Tian Youcai died, the battle would be won. They kept shooting arrows non-stop, and Tian Youcai remained motionless, sprouting seven or eight arrows in the blink of an eye. The two dogs quickly rushed towards the BOSS, and at the same time— Boom! A straw man suddenly burst into flames and charged at them with increased speed. “Damn it! Dodge quickly!” Both of them used their displacement skills, one performed a Hawk Roll, and the other a ground roll, avoiding the straw man’s attack. But the next second, boom boom boom! Three more straw men ignited and rushed over. This time, it wasn’t going to be easy. Thankfully, the two dogs had already reached the BOSS. Rou Qiu bit the BOSS’s leg, dealing 5 damage. Broken Teeth, however, leaped into the air. Choking! Tian Youcai was knocked back, triggering a disruption effect, and the surrounding straw men suddenly ceased their agitation, continuing towards them unhurriedly. Nice one! Xiao Jie was overjoyed, and they took this chance to shoot arrows frenetically, peppering Tian Youcai with another few arrows in an instant. Tian Youcai grabbed Broken Teeth and threw it with all his might. He even knew how to throw. At this point, the BOSS’s health had dropped to around 100, but he began chanting a spell again. Tian Youcai (Demon Leader): “Where are the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals! Heed my command! Slay demons and exorcise evil!” With a strained voice, the surrounding straw men immediately became agitated again. Xiao Jie saw that things were looking bad; they were now surrounded by straw men from all sides, with no space to dodge. If these straw men started self-igniting and pouncing, it would be difficult to evade. Rush up there! Chop him down! Xiao Jie shouted, switching weapons and charging at Tian Youcai; ‘I Want to Be Immortal’ quickly switched to the Giant Axe and followed closely. One Cut, Two Pieces! Xiao Jie aimed a chop straight at Tian Youcai’s head, but Tian Youcai stood emotionless, seemingly indifferent to the blade bearing down on him. Yet, as the blade descended, Tian Youcai suddenly lifted his sword. Blade Reflection! With a clang of metal against metal, the swords collided, and Xiao Jie’s strike was deflected, leaving him frozen in place, wide open to attack. Tian Youcai struck out in one smooth motion, and Xiao Jie was sent flying. -43! A third of the health bar vanished instantly. ‘I Want to Be Immortal’, however, leaped at that moment, with the Giant Axe executing a leaping chop, hitting Tian Youcai squarely as he had just sent Xiao Jie flying. -38! It also induced an imbalance state. Just 60 health left. I Want to Be Immortal, who had just landed, immediately activated his big move, ready to finish the kill. Split——Stone——! Unfortunately, his skill had too long of a wind-up, and before he could even bring down his axe, Tian Youcai had already regained his balance. Eagle Claw Choke! He grasped I Want to Be Immortal by the neck, interrupting his big move and continuously draining his health. -6! -7! -8! -9! Xiao Jie also got up at this moment, performed a Hawk Roll to the side of the two, and swung his sword once more. One Cut, Two Pieces! This time, Tian Youcai had no chance to use Blade Reflection again. Xiao Jie, slicing from the side, cut off the arm Tian Youcai was using to choke I Want to Be Immortal. -38 (Limb Cutting)! Now with only one hand, Tian Youcai pinched a magic formula again. “Heavenly Soldiers Descending, heed my command, slay demons…” Puchit! Both men, one with a sword, the other with an axe, struck Tian Youcai simultaneously, depleting his health in an instant. “Ah…” Tian Youcai let out a scream and collapsed in a heap. A few meters behind them, the encircling straw men burst into flames one after another. Boom, boom, boom! Behind them, a series of explosions sounded as the straw men combusted on the spot, burning into heaps of ashes. They had succeeded! Both were simultaneously excited and relieved. Xiao Jie, in particular, hadn’t expected Tian Youcai’s strength to so greatly exceed his expectations. He was surprised to find that this guy not only summoned little monsters, but his martial arts were also quite strong, with formidable close-combat abilities. It was a close call, they had nearly been defeated. He thought that such a magic system boss, especially with such a mundane name, would surely lack physical combat skills. Luckily, the great fire had consumed most of his health, or if they had delayed any longer, they would’ve been in real danger, and might have actually been defeated. [System Notification: You have successfully killed the regional Boss Tian Youcai (Demon Leader). With Tian Youcai’s death, the monsters on this map have undergone new changes.] “Caw caw, all the straw men are dead. All the straw men are dead.” In the sky, the crows made joyful noises. Boom! Behind Tian Youcai, the Tian Family Mansion collapsed in a thunderous roar, turning completely into ruins. Xiao Jie looked at the system notification with some astonishment. What did this mean? Would straw men no longer spawn here? But he quickly turned his attention to the boss’s corpse. What they would gain from this bloody battle depended on this loot. He eagerly reached for the boss’s body. Copper Coin x1356! Damn, what a wealthy boss. Besides the money, three items had dropped. The first was a skill book. [Blade Reflection (Skill Book/Combat Skills) Learning requirement: Agility 15, Strength 15. Skill Introduction: A combat skill that demands precise timing.
