65: First kill the pseudo-gold boss

Name: Golden Winged Horse King

Rank: 30

Skills: ???

Perhaps due to the vast difference in strength, Li Changkong was unable to see the Golden Winged Horse King's skills.

As the Golden Winged Horse King rapidly approached, it flapped its wings fiercely, and a whirlwind was stirred up.

The Black Flame, which was blocking the way, was instantly swept aside by this whirlwind, heavily knocking down a patch of trees.

Li Changkong quickly cast Frost Road, intending to slow down the opponent.

However, the Golden Winged Horse King's strength exceeded Li Changkong's imagination.

With a flash, it easily dodged the Frost Road.

"Damn it."

Li Changkong cursed under his breath, understanding the gap between himself and the Golden Winged Horse King.

Three more Sand Soldiers were summoned, barely managing to hold off the Golden Winged Horse King.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Changkong retrieved Black Flame into the alternate dimension.

The Golden Winged Horse King's two pairs of wings flapped again, and countless golden feathers shot towards Li Changkong.

In the blink of an eye, those feathers pierced through the bodies of the Sand Soldiers.

The newly formed Sand Soldiers instantly turned back into a pile of yellow sand.

The remaining golden feathers continued to fly towards Li Changkong.

Just as the onlookers observing from a distance thought Li Changkong was doomed, Li Changkong's body instantly vanished from its original spot.

When he reappeared, he was already beside the Golden Winged Horse King.

With disaster imminent, Li Changkong decisively chose close-quarters combat.

The opponent's ranged attacks were all wide-area, and Li Changkong had nowhere to hide.

Only by fighting in close quarters would he have a glimmer of hope.

After approaching the Golden Winged Horse King, Li Changkong drew out a blue-quality longsword.

This longsword was a trophy Li Changkong obtained in the Novice Grand Competition, considered a relatively good blue-quality item.

Although he possessed a purple-grade undead blade, Li Changkong couldn't use it because his Rank hadn't reached the requirement yet.

This longsword didn't provide a very high boost to basic attributes, but it was completely sufficient.

"Heavy Strike!"

Li Changkong slashed the Golden Winged Horse King with his sword and found that the opponent's physical resistance was indeed not that high.

Just a single, ordinary Heavy Strike reduced the opponent's health by one percent.

Although it seemed small, this was already a pleasant surprise for Li Changkong.

A Heavy Strike being able to penetrate defenses meant he had a chance to win.

The Golden Winged Horse King, seeing Li Changkong close in, immediately showed a hint of surprise on its horse face.

Then, it flapped its wings, intending to widen the distance from Li Changkong.

But Li Changkong had already anticipated the opponent's movement; with a roll, he surprisingly mounted its back.

"Combo!"

A series of afterimages flashed from the longsword in his hand, and seven or eight sword shadows instantly fell.

After the afterimages faded, the opponent's health bar dropped another small segment.

Although the Golden Winged Horse King continued to shake its body, trying to throw Li Changkong off.

Li Changkong's legs were tightly clamped onto the Golden Winged Horse King, and he remained fixed on its body like a rock.

Despite the Golden Winged Horse King's continuous struggles, it couldn't shake Li Changkong off.

...

This scene was witnessed by the distant team members.

The blonde girl, seeing this, also showed a hint of confusion on her face.

"What, what is this person?"

"Wasn't he just using magic? And he even used summoning spells. How did he instantly become a melee fighter?"

The mage beside her was slightly stunned, a bit puzzled.

But then they saw Li Changkong cast a Fanatic Aura on himself again.

His attack speed increased by several points again; Heavy Strike, Chop, Combo, continuously struck the horse's back.

"He even has a Priest skill? How many skills does he have?"

The warrior next to him was equally dumbfounded.

In a short period, Li Changkong had already unleashed more than ten skills.

They could also guess that this might be due to the unique nature of Li Changkong's skills.

Li Changkong's skills continuously struck the Golden Winged Horse King's body, and his own body was now covered in a red glow.

The Dragon Blood Warrior's passive had been triggered, doubling Li Changkong's Physique and Strength attributes.

Li Changkong didn't hesitate at all; he immediately activated War Frenzy.

In just a few minutes, the Golden Winged Horse King, originally at full health, had its health drop to one-third.

Li Changkong finally understood why this Golden Winged Horse King had been avoiding others.

Its strength attributes only allowed it to fight from a distance.

If it got too close to the enemy, it would definitely expose its weaknesses.

Just as the opponent's health dropped to ten percent, the Golden Winged Horse King's eyes were filled with a golden light.

Immediately after, a terrifying golden light erupted from its body.

As soon as he came into contact with this golden light, Li Changkong could feel an unbearable burning sensation, as if his body was being scorched.

Under these circumstances, if Li Changkong didn't quickly pull away, he would definitely be scorched by this golden light.

As he hesitated, a wave of Qi from the Golden Winged Horse King instantly sent him flying.

Li Changkong felt this immense force was unbearable; he could only use the momentum to land more than ten meters away.

"Second phase?"

Looking at the Golden Winged Horse King in front of him, Li Changkong had already reacted.

Golden bosses, when their health drops to a certain level, their bodies will Incarnate into a second phase.

Their strength will become even greater, and the difficulty of defeating them will also greatly increase.

It was clearly noticeable that the Golden Winged Horse King's strength had almost doubled compared to before.

Another arrow rain formed by feathers came, and Li Changkong merely looked at it coldly.

Just as the arrow rain was about to reach him, a light shield suddenly formed.

Li Changkong, protected by the light shield, directly passed through the arrow rain and ran towards the Golden Winged Horse King to engage in close combat.

On the other side, a fully charged Fire Vein True Dragon was also summoned by Li Changkong.

With the Dragon's roar, it directly crashed into the Golden Winged Horse King.

The Fire Vein True Dragon had now been upgraded to Lv3 by Li Changkong.

Compared to the initial Fire Vein True Dragon, its power was more than doubled.

Upon impact with the Golden Winged Horse King, it instantly erupted into blazing flames.

This shield was the self-shield of the Hundred Ghosts Armor, which could only be used once a day.

But now it seemed that the shield's value far exceeded his imagination.

After closing in, the sword shadows swung by Li Changkong's longsword fell like raindrops.

Amidst the relentless attacks, the Golden Winged Horse King finally let out a mournful cry, unwillingly falling to the ground.

Its body emitted a golden light, and two pieces of equipment appeared on the Golden Winged Horse King's body.
