The Spirit Sword slashed across the Lightning Beast’s body, with each sword only able to inflict a few hundred points of damage–the level suppression was too severe. Over two hundred Spirit Swords simply could not kill the Lightning Beast.

The attached blazing fire damage was also greatly reduced. The Thousand Swords Art only slightly hindered the Lightning Beast’s pace, its Vitality Points were reduced by less than a third. However, this gave the remaining adventurers hope, and the ranged attackers began to make their move, targeting the Lightning Beast.

All the aggro was on Song Jian, so the others boldly launched their attacks. They had been hesitant before, fearing their attacks might draw too much aggro, causing the Lightning Beast to focus solely on them. Now that Song Jian had attracted a significant amount of aggro, the others were naturally confident in their attacks.

Boom Boom Boom~

The Lightning Beast, enraged, shot dazzling bolts of lightning from the three rhino-like horns on its snout, casting a net of electricity over the group in an instant.

“Thunder Web, everyone, be careful!” an adventurer exclaimed, his body instantly turned into a wisp of smoke as he swiftly drifted backward.

“Don’t be afraid, keep attacking, I’ll block it!” A burly man wielding a shield suddenly leaped forward. His shield shone with the luster of glazed light. Facing the vast Thunder Web, he pushed forward instead of retreating, holding the shield with both hands, he slammed it mightily into the web of electricity.

Boom!

A thunderous roar sounded as the Thunder Web and the burly man’s shield collided fiercely; the Web enveloped the adventurer, the sounds of explosions echoed continuously. Some fellow adventurers, who intended to close in to help, turned pale and involuntarily stopped in their tracks.

The lightning raged on for a full five seconds before it gradually subsided. The burly man with the shield was smoking, his exposed skin marred with burned scars, and the once glazing light on his shield disappeared, replaced by a dark gold glow.

This was the quality glow that could only show up when an adventurer exerted all their strength and could no longer hide their true power.

“Is he, is he still alive?” inquired an adventurer, tremulously, looking at the man who had curled up, almost completely hidden behind his shield.

“Still alive, healers, where the hell are the healers? Heal him, quick!” someone shouted loudly.

Beams of healing light flashed over the burly man, who slowly rose to his feet, and with an exhalation, a puff of smoke came out of his mouth.

“That was exhilarating!” The man’s face split into a mischievous grin. He had incredibly high resistance; even without the healers behind him, he wouldn’t have been in any critical danger.

Boom!

Before he could steady himself, the Lighting Beast slammed into him, sending him flying.

Seeing the Lightning Beast pounce, the adventurers became panicked, scrambling to dodge aside. The Lightning Beast’s target was clear–it was Song Jian, who had inflicted a great deal of damage earlier. The beast’s usually azure eyes now revealed a hint of bloodlust, bellowing madly as it charged at Song Jian.

Duo Tuo Luo stumbled as he ran, scrambling away from Song Jian. At the moment, Song Jian’s sword was damaged and he was unable to perform any sword techniques, seemingly left with no option but death.

Just then, the man who had been sent flying called out to the Lightning Beast with a taunting yell, “Hey, brat, come at me!”

The Lightning Beast, initially charging at Song Jian, eerily changed its direction and bore down on the burly man, thundering like a maxed-out armored vehicle.

“`

“Keep attacking!” the robust man bellowed, his muscles tensed, his two thick arms bracing against the shield with all his might, preparing to withstand the next impact.

Boom!

The Lightning Beast once again slammed ferociously into the robust man, but this time it didn’t send him flying. Instead, it pushed him forward for more than ten meters before its wild momentum gradually dissipated.

Meanwhile, countless ranged attack skills rained down on the Lightning Beast, blasting open wound after wound. Its blood, flickering with electricity, sprayed continuously as damage figures in the thousands floated above its head.

The adventurers were not weak themselves, but they lacked a leader to take charge. Song Jian’s preemptive move eased their psychological burdens, prompting them to attack proactively. The Shield Warrior who had stepped forward gave everyone confidence. As long as he didn’t fall, everyone else could attack boldly, without fear of drawing the monster’s attention. With Song Jian at the bottom of the damage chart, even if the main tank fell, the Lightning Beast would likely target Song Jian next, ensuring safety for the others until Song Jian was down.

With this double assurance, the recruited adventurers were able to perform up to their real potential.

After about fifteen minutes, the Lightning Beast fell with a pitiful shriek. The Shield Warrior, covered in cuts and bruises, limped over to Song Jian and extended his hand, saying, “I am Kan War, a level ninety-seven Holy Light Defender!”

Song Jian gave a slight smile and shook his hand, replying, “Level fifty, Sword Master!”

“You’re the strongest Swordsman I’ve ever seen, bar none!” Kan War said, giving a thumbs up and looking at Song Jian with admiration. If it weren’t for Song Jian’s initiative, Kan War might have just watched the entire battle unfold. After all, why should he stand in front if everyone else was fleeing?

After the Lightning Beast fell, it dropped more than a dozen pieces of equipment. The most eye-catching among them was a longbow radiating golden light. The bow, over a meter long, looked rather simple, as if a branch had been bent into an arc and tied with a vine.

But the glow of its golden quality drew everyone’s eyes.

“A level ninety-three Wanderer’s Lightning Bow that automatically generates three Light Arrows per second, dealing over a thousand damage each. It’s a top-tier item!” someone exclaimed, eyeing the Lightning Bow’s attributes with a greedy glint in their eyes.

Besides the Lightning Bow, there was a decent silver-quality shield, and the rest were just some white and green equipment of level eighty to ninety, along with some materials.

Someone reached out, attempting to snatch the longbow, but at that moment, all the loot lifted into the air on its own. The longbow flew towards Song Jian, and the silver shield flew towards Kan War.

Only then did the adventurers remember the loot distribution principle they had set upon joining the party: allocation would be based on Contribution Points. With Song Jian having inflicted the highest damage on the Lightning Beast, naturally, he had the most Contribution Points and received the golden-quality Lightning Bow, while Kan War, who had attracted the monster’s aggression throughout, had the second-highest points and received the slightly lower quality shield.

“Hahaha, Thundering Prison Cage, a premium shield!” Kan War laughed heartily after checking the shield’s properties, immediately replacing his own and raising the new one high with a triumphant roar.

Song Jian casually glanced at the Lightning Bow that flew into his inventory. The attributes were indeed good, but it wasn’t of much use to him. Even if he put it up for auction, not many players would buy it–after all, both the equipment level and the required level for the weapon were too high. It would likely be a couple of years before any player would be in the market for it.

Just then, three NPC adventurers approached Song Jian with dark expressions.

“Kid, that longbow looks good. Sell it to us. We’ll give you a fair deal, one hundred thousand Doomsday Coins!” said an adventurer with a scar on his face, twirling a silver-quality dagger, eyeing Song Jian. His gaze was like a venomous snake eyeing a frog–a mix of greed and malice.
