Fatal Shot
chapter-578

“Hiss!”

It was clear that the slash from the Number One superstar player of Storm City really hurt the giant Sea Serpent.

Its head that reached the end of the deck and was about to bite the Heavy Armor Warrior suddenly shrunk back. It turned around while hissing angrily, its serpent eyes staring straight at Sword Ki Long River.

It seemed to remember that the person it was staring at was the bastard who poked that sword into its head. In an instant, the giant Sea Serpent’s sense of vengeance and anger had reached its peak.

Since its tail was stuck on the deck, it could not swing it at the human who injured it heavily twice. The giant Sea Serpent opened its blood-stenched mouth and charged towards Sword Ki Long River, who was still standing on the ship’s deck.

“This dude really knows how to look cool. I wonder how he’s going to get out of this now?” The young Earth Manipulator said, seemingly enjoying the situation, behind Feng Luo.

However, since Sword Ki Long River had the courage to do what he did, it was clear he had long predicted the giant Sea Serpent’s reaction, and as such, would have a plan to deal with it.

When the giant Sea Serpent’s head charged towards him, Sword Ki Long River let go of his second alloy sword and pushed the floor using his legs wearing a pair of combat boots.

His body entirely rose into the air. As the giant Sea Serpent’s head reached his position, he landed bravely on its head. He leaped, though it seemed as if he did not jump again but rather glided, back onto the top of the cannon which was over ten meters tall.

“Qing Gong?” After witnessing Sword Ki Long River’s movements, Feng Luo couldn’t help but feel a bit dumbfounded.

The reason was that Sword Ki Long River’s movement just now, at least on the surface, looked very much like Qing Gong, A type of Chinese martial art where martial artists have the ability to move swiftly and lightly at superhuman speed, and perform gravity-defying moves such as gliding on water surfaces, scaling high walls, and mounting trees.

Of course, Feng Luo knew that Light Armor Warriors did not have a skill called “Qing Gong” in the game. With regard to this, Feng Luo estimated that it was due to the Force.

However, the forum did not reveal any info about Sword Ki Long River possessing the Force. He should not have really awakened the Force. Feng Luo was so confident because for a superstar player of his caliber, if he were to awaken the Force, he or the guild would have published the news immediately to increase his popularity.

As such, it was probably a rare skill; or perhaps he had used another method.

“Hiss!”

With its “food” escaping right beside its mouth again in addition to the two stomps it received on its head, the Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent was completely enraged. Its over 40 meters long body moved and then curled around the cannon tower quickly. It charged head-first towards Sword Ki Long River, disregarding anything else around it.

However, after escaping on to the cannon, Sword Ki Long River did not stop moving. He continued to use “Qing Gong” to jump behind the cannon.

“Hiss!”

Although the Quasi-Boss giant Sea Serpent moved quickly, after pursuing a certain distance, it had to stop moving because its tail was locked onto the ship’s deck by Sword Ki Long River’s alloy sword.

Even worse was that after it curled around the cannon tower, the latter half of its body could not maximize its strength output and was not able to pull its pinned tail off from the deck.

In the end, the giant Sea Serpent had succeeded in restraining its own movement.

The players on the military ship quickly threw their attacks at the giant Sea Serpent. Who would ever miss a chance like this?

“Bang!”

“5450!”

“Did he calculate and plan all this? Or is this just a coincidence?” Asked an intrigued Feng Luo as he fired another shot that took out over 5,000 of the giant serpent’s HP.

“He he, it’s definitely planned. However, he’s not the one who planned it. It’s definitely Nine-Star Guild’s members specialized in tactical planning who planned it. You can’t underestimate a large guild like this. They have all kinds of weird and niche talents in there.” The young Earth Manipulator beside Feng Luo said with a smug look. As he spoke, his energy converter kept flashing as he prepared another skill.

From Feng Luo’s position, he could see a ball of earth energy condensing quickly above a cannon tower beside the giant Sea Serpent. The ball of earth energy was gradually transforming into a pillar through the Energy Formation skill.

“Hiss!”

As a Quasi-Boss, the giant Sea Serpent’s AI was not low. After noticing that it was stuck, it quickly retracted its head and began to retreat from the cannon tower.

Its attention was focused on itself. Naturally, it failed to notice the energy attack being prepared in the sky.

“Whoosh!”

Halfway through retracting its head, a large “Rock Pillar” that had a diameter of about five meters descended hard and fast from the sky above the cannon tower.

By the time the giant Sea Serpent’s head reached the cannon tower, the bottom of the large rock pillar slammed right into its head.

“Bam!”

“-4267!”

It was natural for a cylindrical rock pillar falling from tens of meters above to possess a devastating attack.

As an Earth Manipulator, which was a profession that was not great at attacks, dealing such damage was definitely amazing.

Apart from defense, it seemed as if this Earth Manipulator’s attack was just as powerful.

“-2345!”

More importantly, the attack coincidentally fell on the spot where the Legendary Grade alloy sword was. Apart from cracking its skull and causing the giant Sea Serpent’s head to bleed profusely, the attack also pushed the Legendary Grade alloy sword deeper into its head, which dealt additional damage.

“29%…”

The giant Sea Serpent’s HP had officially dropped below 30%.

To much surprise, the energy rock pillar that descended from the sky was quite devastating. The giant Sea Serpent that should have displayed its brutality after getting hit had become immobile due to the pain and dizziness it felt from the attack. Its head stopped moving for a while as it rested on top of the cannon.

“This… This is pure luck. It’s not planned, I only planned to attack its body wrapped around the cannon. Who’d have thought that it would move its head there?” The young Earth Manipulator said after Feng Luo turned around to look at him curiously. He spoke wryly though failing to hide his pride.

Whether it was pure luck or planned, the giant Sea Serpent was temporarily stunned. Without a shred of doubt, it was a great surprise.

As the saying went “Take your life when you are ill.” To all the top players from Storm City on the military ship, the situation was as clear as day.

“Rumble… Whoosh…”

In an instant, an incredible amount of attacks flew towards the giant Sea Serpent.

“25%… 20%… 15%…”

The giant serpent’s HP decreased significantly in an instant. In just two seconds, it had reached the “Weakened” stage.

Earlier, everyone was simply being wary, most players prioritized their survival, so when they attacked, they were more worried about the accumulated aggro. However, right now, since the giant Sea Serpent’s HP had been reduced to this level, they only needed a few more seconds to kill it. In such a situation, it was natural for them to not hold back anymore.

It was, after all, just a Quasi-Boss. No matter how strong it was, it was impossible for it to survive the full-strength attacks of a bunch of high-level players.

“Bang!”

“-3056!”

“-32550!”

A golden special font critical damage appeared. The yellow damage number was a stark contrast from all the white numbers popping up.

The B-Grade Double Armor-piercing Round accurately struck at the heart of the giant Sea Serpent that had been cut and battered by the targeted attacks of various players.

The second damage from the bullet also activated Wings of Death’s 30% critical rate attribute.

“This… is quite lucky.” Feng Luo turned around and glanced at the already wide-eyed Earth Manipulator.
