104: Wow! (Part 1)

Those summoned by Emil were no weaklings; they were all top-tier powerhouses, famous within the [Nine Heavens].

Each of them possessed the strength to take on a thousand or even ten thousand enemies alone!

As Emil's voice fell, the seven of them immediately moved with sharp eyes and high spirits, acting as swiftly as blades and swords.

"Great Xia Region's Brilliant and Flowers in Full Bloom, seeing you in person is even better than hearing of your fame!"

"Let me see just how skilled the server's number one Assassin and Priest truly are."

Masumi Taichi appeared contemptuous, yet his actions revealed a deep respect for Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom.

He quickly pulled out a scroll and crushed it, watching as the shattered scroll transformed into seven streaks of buffing energy that surged into the bodies of Emil and the others.

This was the Level 2 scroll [War God's Blessing], which could increase teammates' attributes by 100% for 5 minutes.

With the scroll's buff, Emil and the number one Archer, Never Sets, displayed incredible attack speed.

Their attacks were as swift as thunder, firing a bolt of lightning and an energy arrow respectively, heading straight for Bai Tian.

However, Emil's target wasn't Bai Tian, but the Ancestral Return Strange Horse beneath him.

Clearly, her intention was to disable Bai Tian's mount first to restrict his terrifyingly high movement speed.

Meanwhile, the other summoned experts—the number one Class Sun God, as well as the four: Gamile, Kuta, and Shenling—all went into action.

Facing the siege of these powerful enemies, Bai Tian immediately spurred his horse, moving as agilely as a ghost.

Except for Never Sets' attacks, which had a guaranteed hit effect due to his God of Bows talent, he dodged everything else.

The attacks of the other six, including Emil, were all skillfully evaded by Bai Tian's high movement speed.

Bai Tian chose to dodge rather than face them head-on because these guys triggered an invincibility state when attacking him, fearing his Rebound ability.

It was clearly unwise to take their damage while they were invincible.

More importantly, Bai Tian had already decided how to fight this peak battle where he was outnumbered.

As Bai Tian's old rival, Never Sets' attack was still sharp; he used [Long-range Snipe], which had an execution effect.

Bai Tian's incredible mount speed still couldn't evade the guaranteed hit trait.

This caused Bai Tian's [Longevity] passive to be triggered immediately.

Never Sets' mechanics were exceptional; while firing the Long-range Snipe to trigger Bai Tian's Longevity, he also skillfully activated an invincibility skill to avoid being killed by the Rebound.

During this period of invincibility, he fired nine more energy arrows at Bai Tian at a staggering speed of three arrows per second.

However, those nine energy arrows were all intercepted by the flying Little Dragon Zombie.

Each arrow dealt 1,000 damage to Little Dragon Zombie, totaling 9,000 damage.

This left Never Sets shocked, his pupils shrinking as he couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of pet is this? Its defense is so high!"

The arrows he fired carried a 40% armor penetration effect, and with his own extremely high attack power, it was impossible to deal less than 2,000 damage per arrow even against a BOSS.

For now, Never Sets posed the greatest threat to Bai Tian, as all the arrows he fired had a guaranteed hit effect.

Unless Little Dragon Zombie forcibly took the hits for him.

Once Never Sets' invincibility ended, he quickly swapped his orange treasure bow for a white wooden bow.

A cold sneer appeared on Never Sets' lips; since he feared Bai Tian's Rebound Talent, he would minimize his attack power and focus on crowd control to restrict Bai Tian.

However, the moment Never Sets swapped to the wooden bow, he felt a chill down his spine as his expert intuition warned him of impending danger.

Sure enough, in the next instant, the ghost-like Flowers in Full Bloom lunged out with a blinding strike and poison, instantly taking away a third of Never Sets' health.

But Never Sets was a peak-level expert after all; he reacted the moment Flowers in Full Bloom ambushed him, using a life-saving skill as fast as fire to blink 10 meters away from his original position.

Simultaneously, he used a cleanse skill to dispel the blind and poison status.

However, as the server's number one Assassin, Flowers in Full Bloom's strength was more than just that.

Never Sets' blink skill didn't provide him with any sense of security.

Flowers in Full Bloom pursued him like a specter, her snake-like blade slashing directly at Never Sets' heart.

This critical hit took another third of Never Sets' health.

"Flowers in Full Bloom, do you think we don't exist?"

Never Sets' teammates, Masumi Taichi and the others, immediately rushed to support him.

Masumi Taichi, Sun God, Gamile, and the others appeared one after another, their strength not to be underestimated.

Thundering attacks whistled from the hands of the four, including Shenling, instantly descending upon Flowers in Full Bloom.

Yet, Flowers in Full Bloom showed no fear, her delicate body surrounded by a burst of purple spiritual light as she tanked all the damage.

The attacks from Masumi Taichi and the others landed on the purple-glowing Flowers in Full Bloom, but surprisingly, they all showed as MISS.

This was one of Flowers in Full Bloom's signature skills as a Hidden Assassin, allowing her to MISS all attacks for a short time, acting as a different kind of invincibility.

By now, Never Sets had no time to worry about anything else; in his precarious situation, he felt the immense pressure brought by this number one female Assassin.

Never Sets' skill that allowed him to resist death for a short time was instantly forced out by Flowers in Full Bloom.

As Flowers in Full Bloom's follow-up attacks continued, the server's number one Class Sun God stepped forward, raising his shield and letting out a thunderous roar like a bull, forcibly diverting Flowers in Full Bloom's aggro.

Only then did Never Sets have the chance to pull away, drenched in cold sweat.

On the other side, Bai Tian, who had lost his 10x buff, was being tightly entangled by Emil's main body and two clones.

Emil's mechanics were monstrous; like Never Sets, her main body had swapped to an ordinary wooden sword to minimize output, making it impossible to break through Bai Tian's defense.

Although she couldn't break his defense, her attacks could cause crowd control effects, severely limiting Bai Tian's output.

Her two clones desperately attacked the Ancestral Return Strange Horse beneath Bai Tian, attempting to knock him off his mount.

Little Dragon Zombie was also unfortunately hit by a crowd control skill from the powerful enemy Shenling and was temporarily unable to move.

It seemed Bai Tian was on the defensive, but in reality, his lips suddenly curled into a smirk as he intentionally left an opening, allowing Emil's two clones to knock him off his mount as he flipped backward.

Just then, the number one Archer, Never Sets, was saved by Sun God and managed to distance himself from Flowers in Full Bloom.

The moment Bai Tian flipped back, he aimed at Never Sets—who was focused entirely on Flowers in Full Bloom—and unleashed his skill, [Dragon Capturing Hand].

Never Sets' expression instantly changed as he was pulled into the air by a powerful suction, flying toward Bai Tian.

"Hmph."

Right then, Emil leaped out gracefully and joined the fray.

Mid-air, she knocked Never Sets away with one move, causing Bai Tian's Dragon Capturing Hand to miss its mark.

Landing on the ground, Never Sets was full of rage, realizing he had become a thorn in the side of Bai Tian and Flowers in Full Bloom.

The two of them were hell-bent on killing him first.

"Damn it, I'm not some pushover you can just bully!"

Realizing he was being targeted, Never Sets was incredibly furious.

He quickly consumed a high-grade pill to restore his status, then moved like lightning, drawing his bow to prepare a lethal rapid-fire strike against Flowers in Full Bloom.

However, just as he was about to strike, Flowers in Full Bloom vanished from the spot in a flash of purple light.

Never Sets' expression turned cold as he instantly fired a stealth-breaking skill. Light radiated outward, but he still couldn't find Flowers in Full Bloom.

Flowers in Full Bloom's forced-stealth skill couldn't even be seen through by BOSSes, so it was normal that Never Sets' skill couldn't reveal her.

"Sly rat, since you're hiding, Flowers in Full Bloom, then let Brilliant bear our wrath!"

Unable to find Flowers in Full Bloom, Masumi Taichi intentionally mocked her while turning his cold gaze toward Bai Tian.

But at that moment, with a "shoo" sound, three energy arrows shot like lightning toward Masumi Taichi's throat.

Shockingly, the one who delivered this fatal blow was actually Never Sets!

His attack power was already formidable, and with the 100% attribute boost, three arrows completely drained Masumi Taichi's health.

"baka, you traitor!"

Masumi Taichi cursed angrily before he died, dropping three pieces of equipment as he collapsed.

Nearby, Sun God, Shenling, Gamile, and Kuta were alerted and retreated, staring at Never Sets with hostile eyes.

After insta-killing Masumi Taichi, Never Sets quickly locked onto Emil.

Although Emil was doing her best to stall Bai Tian, she had been keeping a close eye on the changes in the battle.
