Chapter 194: Chapter 193: You Call This Assassination? (Seeking Subscription)

[Player] felt their hearts sink - their best effort to attack actually... failed to kill the Sun King!

Or rather, no one guessed that the Sun King’s true form was actually that half-faced mask.

"We actually only shot at nothing," Li Changhe said, shaking his head in pain. He really had no means of doing anything now.

Now that all their attributes were reduced by one point, Li Changhe’s [Attribute Characteristics] had disappeared.

He couldn’t even use [Abyssal Whisper] anymore. The use condition for [Abyssal Whisper] was having all attributes at 8 points.

With Li Changhe’s [Bronze Skin Iron Bone] gone, the effect of [Strength+1] also vanished. Li Changhe’s current strength was at 7 points.

He couldn’t trigger any equipment’s effects.

Not to mention he had already been severely injured, even moving a bit was extremely painful, and some internal injuries were likely suffered.

"Don’t worry, it’s just a change to another heavily injured body. Leave it to me!" Dark Night Wood raised his rifle and aimed it at the aging Sun King, firing a shot.

The Sun King was forced to change to another body, it was unknown whether he had prepared beforehand or had no choice. However, the injuries on the Grand Priest’s body were real.

It was just an injured and dying Transcendent, Dark Night Wood was confident he could finish off the opponent. Li Changhe and Moon God had always been in the limelight, and now it was finally his turn to shine.

However, the violet light in the Bone Dragon’s eyes flashed, and its large bone claw moved sideways to block the bullet.

"Boom!"

[Thundering Grenade] effect was triggered, causing a burst of lightning to explode upon the bone claw. Yet after the lightning passed, the bone claw remained unscathed.

What now?" Li Changhe looked at the increasingly bright violet light in the Bone Dragon’s eyes as its enormous bone wings spread out and its mouth opened wide, releasing a silent roar. He sighed and asked, "Can we still kill it?"

"...Can you still restrain the Bone Dragon?" Dark Night Wood replied after a moment of silence.

"No, I can’t. I need higher attributes to do that. Otherwise, I would’ve used the Bone Dragon to attack the Sun King earlier." Li Changhe helplessly shook his head, [Riding A] effect was very useful.

But to control such a strange creature, one had to have high personal attributes. The only reason he had been able to fight while riding the Tingdaros Hound was because Luo Kai and Zhu Hou had augmented his attributes. Even then, it was quite a struggle to wrest control of the hound’s body.

Li Changhe hadn’t received any buffs before, and at most, riding the Bone Dragon could only make it remain motionless.

Now that his attributes had decreased so much, there was even less of a chance he could restrain it. If he tried to do so with his hands, he would be crushed to death.

His attributes were still too low. If Li Changhe wanted to employ such tactics, he had to learn several stacking enhancement skills first.

But it was all pointless now. Li Changhe was currently very weak.

The Sun King was also weak, and it was unknown how he transferred the Grand Priest’s physical strength to himself. The danger he sensed from his body had weakened considerably, and the Light Curtain defense was likely gone. Though the bone gate was uncertain, it could be seen from the injuries he had suffered.

If Li Changhe could shoot one more arrow, the battle would have been over. Unfortunately, the Sun King was still able to control the Bone Dragon.

Yun Ting still had some fighting power, but against a Bone Dragon, Brother Ting probably...

"Hahahaha!" The Sun King laughed heartily, the domineering voice that did not belong to this aged body of the Grand Priest was heard: "You guys still lost! Though it was a bit hectic, but... this way, I can better possess your bodies."

He laughed manically. If it was just one Dark Night Wood, even if they had all five players at full strength, it was uncertain if they could win against the Bone Dragon.

Although there had been many accidents, and he had been on the verge of death,

His plan to escape the plot was about to come true!

"Especially you!" The Sun King pointed at Li Changhe: "I will use all the knowledge I have accumulated in the past hundred years to painstakingly transform you. Using your body, your identity, to dominate everything in your world!"

The Sun King was terrified by Li Changhe’s arrow and was filled with a greedy desire.

He wanted that kind of power! He wanted to possess Li Changhe’s body!

"Oh, craving my body?"

"Before he possesses you, you’ll have to fight me first," Yun Ting coldly laughed in his mind.

Li Changhe knew Yun Ting was just trying to comfort him, but it was useless - she couldn’t defeat it.

By then, the only thing to do would be to let Yun Ting kill him before being possessed.

At least, it would prevent the Sun King from using his body to return to the real world.

On the bright side, Yun Ting could obtain a [Player] status. Maybe she could even escape the cost of dying together with the host.

On the downside, it means death... it’s a shame that he couldn’t take vengeance for Brother Ting. It’s his fault.

"Brother Ting, if we can go back this time, let Boss Bai investigate your enemy as soon as possible."

"...Okay." Yun Ting replied indifferently, "We’ll talk about it when we get back."

On the other side, the rifle in Dark Night Wood’s hands roared, but the Bone Dragon blocked all the shots.

Apparently, the Bone Dragon’s body was much stronger than the Bone Giant’s. Despite being hit by so many attacks, it only showed some tiny cracks.

Meanwhile, the Sun King hid inside the Bone Dragon’s body, slowly approaching the [Player].

"Who has strong recovery potions? I’ll shoot another arrow, Moon God?" Li Changhe growled softly. An ordinary throwing axe appeared in his hand, and the [Hundred-Headed Shooter] effect was triggered but only caused a slight spark on the bone dragon.

"If I had that kind of stuff, I would have gone up myself," Moon God sighed in response.

"Any buffing skills that can be used on others?"

"How about some explosives, or weapons that can be triggered without high attributes?"

No one responded.

"Damn... You guys keep covering me with long-range attacks!" Li Changhe tried to stand up. The white fog on his body bloomed again.

He was planning to try the last option - sneaking into the Bone Dragon’s body and killing the Sun King with a single strike!

The success rate was very low. Li Changhe’s attributes had dropped dramatically, and he could only use the broken Tang Hengdao and a machete.

Furthermore, with the curse of [Tolling Bell], even if Li Changhe did manage to sneak into the Bone Dragon’s body, he would not be a match for the Sun King and would be found and killed first.

But it was the only hopeful method left.

As he thought of this, Li Changhe suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

At the same time, a sound came to his ears.

It was a bell... a funeral bell!

Li Changhe’s face changed slightly, remembering what the Assassin had said before.

He dispersed the white fog, pointed at the Bone Dragon, and laughed, "You weakling, get lost!"

Confused, the Sun King wondered if Li Changhe had gone mad. How could he still laugh in this situation? What right did he have to laugh?

But in the next second, he also heard the tolling of the bell.

Not only him, but the entire tomb chamber also echoed with the sound of the bell.

At the same time, everyone felt a sudden coldness descend upon the room.

Moon God and the others’ faces changed slightly, recalling the existence frequently discussed in the [forum].

The Sun King’s playful expression had turned to horror. He didn’t know where the bell sound came from, but this eerie feeling was even stronger than when Li Changhe tried to assassinate him before.

The Bone Dragon stopped advancing and closed its bony wings, entering a defensive state.

"It’s useless. This is the genuine... Funeral Bell. The strongest assassination..." Li Changhe whispered.

Before he could finish speaking, the bell tolled loudly. A tall figure appeared in front of the Bone Dragon.

Wielding a huge, wide sword, the figure slashed at the Bone Dragon.

"Assassination... Assass..." Li Changhe’s mouth twitched, "Do you Assassins call this assassination?"
