269: Chapter 269 Death Cannot Be Reviveed? Zhang Jian Tests the Laws Himself!

Nie Zhijun's sudden collapse caught everyone off guard.

At Wang Fei's urgent voice, Yun Haiyao hurried forward.

Casting HP recovery skills—ineffective!

Casting resurrection skills—ineffective!

Casting status removal skills—still ineffective!

Having tried everything, Nie Zhijun remained motionless; Yun Haiyao's face turned pale.

Her voice carried a hint of a sob.

"Xiao Fei, Brother Jun... he's not really dead, is he?"

All along...

Because of the existence of the resurrection mechanism, although everyone anticipated the dangers of the Dungeon, they always harbored the thought that the worst-case scenario wouldn't be that bad.

In reality...

Except for some Professionals who met with accidents while adventuring in Dungeons far beyond their strength...

And some Professionals who died due to party composition—lacking a Priest—leading to member deaths...

Very few people died directly in a Dungeon.

On the other hand, deaths from PK-ing other Professionals in the wild or unexpectedly encountering high-Rank monsters they couldn't defeat were more common.

After reaching the third job change, as high-Rank Professionals, such situations became even rarer.

Yun Haiyao never expected...

That with her, the so-called "China's Number One Priest," in the party, Nie Zhijun, "China's Number One Tank," would die right before her eyes.

This not only caught her off guard...

But also made her feel it was all due to her incompetence.

Wang Fei's heart was heavy, but he still comforted her.

"It's okay, don't panic yet. Maybe Brother Jun..."

He was about to say that while Nie Zhijun's state was off, in such a special Dungeon, there might be variables.

Then he saw the mysterious BOSS opposite them wave both hands.

Several beams of starlight arrived in an instant.

Wang Fei's expression changed drastically. "Everyone, scatter!"

Although his command was timely enough, the starlight was simply too fast.

Only Xuan Jizi in the front row managed to manipulate his Sword Puppet to block one of them.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

In the blink of an eye...

Three beams of starlight landed solidly on three bodies, each making a significant impact.

Amidst the panic, everyone saw...

Two of them were blocked in time by Xuan Jizi's Sword Puppet and the Sword Puppet controlled by Zhang Jian.

But the other one...

Hit Zhang Jian's body directly.

"Brother Jian!"

"Xiao Jian!"

"Brother!"

Several cries of alarm rang out simultaneously.

Everyone's expressions were full of worry.

Fearing that something had happened to Zhang Jian.

Until they saw Zhang Jian's figure sway slightly, steadily blocking the attack.

Phew!

Everyone exhaled in relief at the same time.

As expected of Zhang Jian!

A lethal attack that even the party's strongest Tank, Nie Zhijun, couldn't withstand was actually blocked so easily by Zhang Jian!

Wang Fei felt a stir of hope.

Could it be that Zhang Jian had a way to deal with this mysterious BOSS?

"You guys step back, I'll try."

Zhang Jian's words confirmed Wang Fei's suspicion.

He hurriedly directed everyone to retreat, leaving only their respective Sword Puppets in front to prevent the BOSS from charging.

Zhang Jian took one step at a time, slowly walking forward.

He had appeared to block that strike easily, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Before blocking, he had instantly activated a shield-type mythical level skill and an invincibility-type mythical level skill.

With the enhancement of his affix, their priority and effects were far stronger than ordinary mythical level skills.

Yet even so...

The opponent's attack completely ignored these effects.

It directly dealt significant damage to him.

Zhang Jian discovered that the level of the opponent's attack was unheard of.

Not only did all shield effects, invincibility effects, parry effects, and dodge effects fail...

Even the basic effects of physical and magic defense were negligible.

That strike just now...

Zhang Jian's super-strong body, tempered through countless trials and having absorbed numerous epic-grade and mythical level Materials, had no ability to resist at all.

It seemed useless, and he took damage directly.

Fortunately, with the bonus of his various attribute points, his HP had already reached an appalling level.

Even if defense didn't work, he successfully withstood it by relying on his HP alone.

His total health bar had only dropped by nearly one-tenth.

This was why Zhang Jian dared to let the others retreat first and face the enemy alone.

With an inquisitive mind, Zhang Jian quickly approached the opponent.

Just as he reached the appropriate attack range, the sword light in Zhang Jian's hand whistled and arrived instantly.

Compared to Nie Zhijun, who could hit the opponent with a 70% attack speed bonus on his weapon...

Zhang Jian's set of mythical level Growth Equipment was entirely self-crafted and dedicated to him.

Whether it was basic or special attributes, they had already far exceeded the boundaries of normal equipment.

With just a thought, the attack landed.

There was no possibility of the opponent defending against it.

After being struck by the sword light, the opponent's body swayed slightly.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

He could deal damage!

Joy had just appeared on Zhang Jian's face...

When in the next moment...

His expression froze.

"This creature is a [Transcendence Realm] level BOSS. Your Attack Level meets the standard, but the Energy Density is too low. Damage reduced to 1% of the original magnitude."

Zhang Jian's heart sank.

His attacks, enhanced by affix, had long surpassed the scope of the mythical level.

They started with the priority of the Heavenly Dao level.

That move just now involved him consuming mana to temporarily boost the priority of an originally Heavenly Dao-level skill to the Transcendent-level.

He had originally thought...

Even if it didn't deal a fatal blow, it would at least make the opponent wary.

But he hadn't expected...

That after the attack was released, the effect would still be greatly discounted.

1%—there was no need to think; at most, it was just enough to break through the defense.

However...

He adjusted his mindset in an instant.

As long as it had an effect, even 1% was fine!

Anyway, his attack speed was fast enough.

And he could still withstand the hits.

If it came down to it...

He would just fight a war of attrition!

With a serious expression, he immediately entered a combat state.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were filled with countless Sword Qi, surrounding the mysterious man's body.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Zhang Jian's attack speed was simply too fast.

For a moment, it was unknown how many strands of Sword Qi had been released.

Although most of them failed to cause effective damage due to priority and Attack Level issues...

A portion of them...

Under the bonus of temporarily increased priority, successfully injured the opponent.

Under Zhang Jian's gaze...

A long health bar faintly flickered above the opponent's head.

Following his storm-like barrage of attacks, it changed repeatedly.

Finally, it decreased by nearly one percent.

It seemed possible?

A sliver of hope had just risen in Zhang Jian...

When he saw the opponent form hand seals toward the sky and close his eyes.

In the next moment...

Several beams of starlight fell from the sky.

The small amount that had just been reduced immediately returned to its original state.

After the mysterious man's eyes opened again, they simultaneously shot out countless condensed beams of starlight.

In Zhang Jian's heart, a violent sense of mortal danger suddenly surged!
