Chapter 1280: Chapter 528 Destruction Level_2

[-20]

"..."

Wang Tao never had high expectations for Jiang Shixue’s damage, given that she was only Level 4. However, seeing the damage figure, Wang Tao still furrowed his brows deeply. Jiang Shixue was using a Level 6 Night Demon Dagger, but it only dealt a little over twenty points of damage, which was almost like not breaching the defense of Tian Hua with its one million HP.

Roar!

After Jiang Shixue struck and quickly retreated, Lightning charged in from another direction. Relying on its massive frame, it opened its jaws wide and, with eyes closed, bit down fiercely on Tian Hua’s head.

Then Lightning felt as if it had bitten into stone, its teeth numb from the sensation, flinging Tian Hua away.

[-2065]

A damage number exceeding two thousand appeared.

"Good job, Lightning!"

This damage somewhat inspired Wang Tao, although even Lightning’s damage was still very low. Considering Tian Hua was a Level 5 Lord with over one million HP, it could still make an impact. That meant they still had a chance to win!

Tian Hua was attacked successively by three people but showed no expression. Instead, he turned his stony gaze toward Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, and Lightning in turn.

But Wang Tao was using spiritual power detection, while Jiang Shixue and Lightning relied on sound localization; none of them made eye contact with Tian Hua. Thus, nothing happened.

However, it was during Tian Hua’s gazes that Wang Tao struck again.

Flames ignited on his body, and in an instant, he reached Tian Hua’s side, swinging his fiery and black-lit broadsword viciously at Tian Hua’s head.

Bang!

[-2208]

[Burning (Ineffective)]

[Curse: Poisoning (Ineffective)]

This was nearly Wang Tao’s strongest blow, yet it only incurred two thousand two hundred points of damage. His Starfire Prairie inherently had a burning effect, and this time, it also activated the Heart of Darkness’s poisoning curse, but neither burning nor poisoning took effect!

Tian Hua was not heavily damaged but was sent flying by Wang Tao’s strike.

During his flight, Jiang Shixue and Lightning added a few more strikes, taking off over two thousand of his HP.

Then Tian Hua crashed heavily onto the stone wall, shedding a few drops of blood. He casually stood up as if nothing happened and looked at Wang Tao again.

"Hmm? This Tian Hua... Could it be that he only has this one attacking method?"

Wang Tao was not quite sure.

They had attacked Tian Hua several times now, always striking and retreating immediately, because with Tian Hua’s terrifying attributes, his attack power was surely not low. Getting hit even once could be troublesome without a healer. Wang Tao’s spear had Blood Sucking, but if it couldn’t deal enough damage, it was useless.

Yet Tian Hua didn’t counterattack and instead just looked at Wang Tao and the others with those stony eyeballs...

Wang Tao and the others were unharmed because they all closed their eyes. Had they not closed them, they would have suffered several Petrification Gazes.

"So, has Tian Hua actually been counterattacking all along? But we’ve been avoiding it? If he really only has this one way of attacking..."

Wang Tao grinned.

As long as the opponent couldn’t inflict substantial damage, no matter how thick the opponent’s HP or how strong their healing ability, Wang Tao could still drain Tian Hua’s HP dry!

However, this was just one of Wang Tao’s speculation, they couldn’t take risks yet, so their subsequent attacks continued to be hit-and-run, providing no opportunity for Tian Hua to strike back.

Tian Hua’s attributes were strong, but his speed did not seem fast; rather, he never picked up pace and continued moving unhurriedly as before. He looked dignified, emanating the air of a master; but against speed specialists like Wang Tao and company, he could only take hits.

Although Wang Tao and the others’ attacks were like scratching, Tian Hua’s HP was indeed decreasing, even if very slowly.

Wang Tao’s Heart of Darkness triggered various curses. To his surprise, not all curses were ineffective; some could take effect!

[Curse: Blindness (Ineffective)]

[Curse: Poisoning (Ineffective)]

[Curse: Armor Break]

[...]

[Curse: Burning (Ineffective)]

[Curse: Critical Hit]

[...]

[Curse: Slow (Ineffective)]

[Curse: Weakness]

[...]

Wang Tao could only apply up to three curses on an enemy at the same time. Since many curses were ineffective, meaning they had not taken hold, Wang Tao could refresh the curses indefinitely until all three were applied.

Therefore, under Wang Tao’s frequent attacks, three viable curses at last emerged: Armor Break, Critical Hit, and Weakness.

Armor Break reduced Tian Hua’s defense; Critical Hit made it possible for attacks to inflict double damage at a certain probability; Weakness comprehensively decreased Tian Hua’s attributes.

With these three curses in play, Wang Tao immediately felt his attacks were much more effective. Even Jiang Shixue was able to inflict some minor damage.

"Come on! Tian Hua seems to only use ’Petrification Gaze’ right now and not any other attack, we can wear him down!"

Wang Tao encouraged Jiang Shixue and Lightning through spiritual communication.

Although, perhaps the Tian Hua from before had actually already died and this one was not the same as the previous one, Wang Tao was still afraid that if Tian Hua understood his words, it would change its attack strategy.

It was hard to tell how much time had passed, but they had already reduced Tian Hua’s one million HP by more than half.

It was lucky that whether it was Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, or Lightning, their physical strength was unbelievably great. If it were anyone else, they probably would have collapsed from exhaustion by now.

But just when Wang Tao thought he could wear Tian Hua down by scratching him to death, Tian Hua’s method of attack changed!

Facing another attack from Wang Tao, he suddenly grabbed Wang Tao’s broadsword.

Wang Tao didn’t see clearly how he did it, but his broadsword was seized just like that. Tian Hua’s strength was so astonishing that Wang Tao couldn’t break free for a while. In the meantime, Tian Hua punched straight at Wang Tao’s chest.

Boom!

[-0]

Finally breaking free, Wang Tao flew backward, smashing hard against the wall.

"Brother!"

Jiang Shixue called out worriedly upon hearing the commotion.

"I’m fine!"

Wang Tao quickly climbed up from the ground with an ugly look on his face.

The punch from Tian Hua had just been blocked by his "Omnipotent Shield," so there was zero damage. The problem was, that punch completely shattered Wang Tao’s Omnipotent Shield!

Without the shield, had that punch hit him directly, it could have very well claimed Wang Tao’s life!

"Damn it, why the sudden insight!"

Wang Tao cursed under his breath.

If Tian Hua had continued to use "Petrification Gaze," they could definitely have worn him down, but a punch was a different story. With such high damage, even Lightning might not be able to withstand it.

After attacking Wang Tao, Tian Hua took advantage of Lightning’s assault on him to land another punch. Lightning, being so large, couldn’t dodge it either.

[-149344]

To think that Tian Hua’s seemingly ordinary punch would take away 15 of Lightning’s HP!

In other words, with 1.28 million HP, Lightning couldn’t withstand even ten punches!

"Little Xue, don’t attack anymore!"

Wang Tao immediately told Jiang Shixue to back off.

He and Lightning could still hold on, but Level 4 Jiang Shixue definitely couldn’t withstand a punch from Tian Hua.

"Okay!"

Jiang Shixue obediently hid behind Wang Tao at once.

After making consecutive attacks on Wang Tao and Lightning, Tian Hua’s body became as though it had been oiled up, no longer as rigid as before, even starting to jog.

"...Damn it!"

Wang Tao’s expression became even grimmer when he saw this.

For Wang Tao, Tian Hua’s speed was one of the few weaknesses. If Tian Hua increased his speed, things would get even harder.

There was no other choice, Wang Tao had to play his last card.

He immediately tossed all sorts of potions to Lightning, then summoned a Golden Beetle from his hand, throwing it on the ground, where it instantly transformed into a towering Golden Giant.

Wang Tao immediately jumped onto the Golden Beetle.

Jiang Shixue also threw out a Silver Beetle and crawled inside.

The space inside the hall was very large, about ten meters high, allowing the Golden Beetle Armor to move freely inside.

Now armed with the Golden Beetle Armor, Wang Tao’s strength was truly at Level 6. His defensive and attack powers were greatly enhanced, and as long as the Golden Beetle was alive, he wouldn’t receive any damage!

"Go!"

Wang Tao threw a punch towards Tian Hua.

[-3425]

The massive golden fist sent Tian Hua flying with more than three thousand in damage showing up.

Tian Hua quickly got up after landing, nimbly rolling to his feet, and charged at Wang Tao.

Boom!

[-33493]

Even with the Golden Beetle’s defense, Tian Hua could still cause over thirty thousand damage to it; his attack power was truly outrageous.

However, the Golden Beetle too had one million HP, and its HP could be replenished with Crystal Cores!

"I want to see whether your attack power is greater, or my Crystal Cores more plentiful!"
