Xiao Han and Qin Mo arrived at the lake in the northwest corner of Jianshen Valley, ten minutes before the wild BOSS would spawn. Six teams of 30 people were gathered in the corner, all from the Sword Song guild. Gu Shuhang, as the level 30 wild BOSS of the Jianshen Valley map, was more difficult to fight than regular dungeon BOSSes. Bringing six teams of players for this hunt was the Sword Song guild’s insurance for winning the BOSS.
Scanning through the gathered people, Xiao Han analysed their professions. “Fifteen melees, ten long-range, five healers.”
Qin Mo: “We’ll do the same thing as just now. I’ll control the front row, while you kill the healers.”
Xiao Han: “Ok.”
Saying this, both people flew up at the same time, settling near a tree by the lake. They would wait for the right opportunity to move.
Sword Song Pipi: “We were wiped out at the Resurrection Point. There are two experts who may try to snatch the BOSS. Be careful over there!”
Receiving the news, Sword Song Ice Rain, who was commanding this wild BOSS hunt, could not help but frown. “Attention everyone. After the BOSS spawns later, Snow Eagle will pull the BOSS as quickly as possible. Healers, add blood to him. The front swordsmen will focus output on the BOSS, while the long-range professions spread out at the back. If someone comes to make trouble, kill them immediately!”
As soon as the orders were given, a man in a blue gown suddenly appeared in the pavilion by the lake. He held a fan in his hands, and the name above his head was: Gu Shuhang.
Sword Song Ice Rain: “Go!”
Snow Eagle, who was in charge of pulling the BOSS, lifting his broadsword high and rushed to the front.
‘Kuangdao Gate’ was the most defensive melee school in the game, with many skills for protecting teammates. Snow Eagle also played a swordsman from the Kuangdao Gate during the beta test. In fact, he had fought this particular BOSS before, and was thus very confident in his skills. Flying towards the BOSS with qinggong, he left a deep slice on the BOSS’s chest. Once the hatred was secured, he immediately turned around and ran towards the lake!
Gu Shuhang soon followed him to the lake, and the rest of the Sword Song guild’s players began to attack.
The effects of the various weapon skills was dazzling enough to blind, and the BOSS’s blood volume soon began to fall rapidly.
Sword Song Ice Rain quickly warned: “Prepare your qinggong skills, dodge the big moves!”
Gu Shuhang was a boss from the ‘Zhuge Family’, a sect famous for developing various magical mechanical instruments in the jianghu. According to Gu Shuhang’s skills, when his blood volume reaches 75%, he would summon a large number of mechanical rats. These rats would chase and bite the players, putting a ‘weak’ status on them—— this negative status reduced the target’s offensive and defensive power to 10%, almost making them useless.
Because the BOSS needed to chant to summon the mechanical rats, as long as the player did not have particularly slow reflexes, it wasn’t a problem to dodge the attack with qinggong.
The BOSS’s blood level continued to drop: 76%, 75%…
Just as Sword Song Ice Rain was about to remind everyone to dodge, he caught sight of a snow-white figure swooping down from the air like a graceful crane, landing in the middle of the team. The sword in his hands was quick, sweeping out a fan-shaped arc; the cold light from its tip flashed before their eyes, instantly silencing the fifteen melee attacks in the front row!
It was the Hanhua Sword sect’s group silence, ‘Heaven Sun combo’!

At this very moment, the BOSS summoned his mechanical rats. The silenced players could not avoid it with qinggong, and were immediately bitten by the rats.

——Unrivaled Sword!
At this very moment, the sharp sword in his hands flew out, aiming for the main T—— Snow Eagle!
Even if Snow Eagle was a thick-skinned Kuangdao Gate player with high defense, it was negated by the ‘weak’ state inflicted by the rats, and he died instantly to Ink Mark’s ‘Unrivalled Sword’.
As the main T fell, the BOSS lost his target, and immediately started running around.
Not only did Gu Shuhang summon mechanical rats, his fan was also quite harmful. Closing in, he attacked the front row with the fan in his hand, quickly killing several residual blood players. Ink Mark also took the opportunity to use the secret book skill, ‘Sword Rain Fragrance’, immediately setting the front row melee in a dizzy state as soon as the silence control effect ended.
—— was he going to take advantage of the BOSS to get rid of all the front-row melee?!
Feeling a shiver go down his spine, Sword Song Ice Rain immediately sent out orders in the group chat. “Pay attention, back row quickly disperse, healers immediately add blood!”
In this game, pharmacists from the Fangcao Hall had the ability to release status effects. As long as the team’s healers could remove the control in time, they would be able to attack and kill Ink Mark.
What drove Sword Song Ice Rain crazy, however, was the fact that none of their five healers could dispel the control—— because they themselves could hardly survive!
Xiao Han’s attack speed was very fast. Under stealth, he made his way to the back row, and using ‘Thousand Lights Ghost Walk’, killed five healers with five shadows. Everyone could only catch a glimpse of a dark image, moving like the wind, appearing and disappearing before their eyes. The sound of daggers cutting through flesh was constantly echoing in their ears—— every time the shadow moved, blood splashed everywhere. This sort of scene was too horrible, causing people to have goosebumps!
In a blink of eye, all five healers fell!
Sword Song Ice Rain was on the verge of collapse. “What happened? Can’t any of the five healers add blood?”
“Don’t scold the healers without understanding the situation,” a female healer rebutted straightforwardly. “This assassin is too fast; before we even located him, we’ve already been killed! If you think you can do better, please come!”
“Right, right!” The other healers chimed in, “What about the long-ranged attackers? Don’t you know how to help out when the healers are attacked?”
“I wanted to help, but I couldn’t see where he was…” A long-ranged player replied weakly.
By this point, Ink Mark had killed all the melee players. However, there were still ten long-range players left in the team. Sword Song Ice Rain immediately gave out orders. “Quickly, use group attacks to kill the assassin!”
With so many long-range professions launching group attacks, they had to be able to kill a single crispy assassin.
Just as everyone released their group attack skills, they suddenly lost track of the black-clothed assassin—— he had entered stealth!
“He’s invisible!” Sword Song Ice Rain hastily exclaimed. “Use your group attacks to cover all directions! Kill him quickly!”
A wave of group attacks were launched…
Then there was no more.
Only Qin Mo, his teammate, could see that Thousand Miles Ice had moved to one of the shadows at the last minute. The assassin brilliantly confused the other part with his stealth skills, causing Sword Song Ice Rain to think that his position was within everyone’s range. In fact, he had already long since left the area; his target was not the long-range players, but the NPC that they had all ignored—— BOSS Gu Shuhang!
Rainbow Through the Sun! Rainbow Through the Sun! Meteor!
Thousand Miles Ice went behind the BOSS, and decisively broke out the combo of Rainbow Through The Sun and Meteor.
Unwilling to lag behind, Qin Mo immediately caught up with a Sword Horizon combo, and the Unrivalled Sword single attack skill.
The two people seemed to be fighting at the same speed, and in just a few seconds, broke out a terrible wave of combo damage.
Earlier, the main T responsible for pulling the BOSS, Snow Eagle, had been killed by Qin Mo. After being critically hit by these two people, the BOSS immediately turned his attention on the them.
“Go!” Xiao Han typed out a single word, but Qin Mo understood. One after another, the two left the lake area at a very fast speed.
The players of the Sword Song guild launched consecutive group attacks for half a day without fishing out Thousand Miles Ice. As a result, when they turned back to look, they found that—— the BOSS had been stolen away!
“Holy sh*t!” Sword Song Ice Rain really wanted to smash his keyboard. “Chase, quickly give chase!”
A group of people started chasing the BOSS in a hurry.
Out of a team of thirty people, not only had all the healers been killed, the main T was seckilled by Ink Mark, and the front-row melee killed by the boss. Now, there were only ten long-ranged players left.
Ten people chasing two in the field, which would ordinarily be a battle without any suspense, but Sword Song Ice Rain was depressed to find out that they were pitted against. The moment they used qinggong skills to chase after the BOSS, the BOSS released a big move—— with a loud ‘boom’, several huge mechanical chariots rolled by, wiping out the team as they passed!
In a blink of an eye, half of the ten men were dead, and the remaining half were at residual blood.
“You output, I’ll cut them off.” Xiao Han typed on the team channel, before using qinggong to jump behind the BOSS. Using the three-hit combo of Rainbow Through The Sun caused a dense rainstorm of daggers, which directly hit the five players, causing the world before Sword Song Ice Rain to turn black in an instant.
——The long-range players that came with him also died.
The white-clothed swordsman in the distance, Ink Mark, was attacking the BOSS.
Even the four huge chariots from the four directions, front back left and right, did not harm him. He leapt into the air, stabbing Gu Shuhang in the head with the longsword in his hand, and even triggered a critical hit!
Seeing this scene, the players were somewhat frightened.
Sword Song Ice Rain had participated in so many beta tests, but never has he seen two people with a tacit cooperation strong enough to fight a BOSS on their own!
Gu Shuhang’s blood level dropped to 25%, and a group of mechanical hawks was summoned.
The mechanical hawk was this BOSS’s most powerful weapon. It flew through the air, flapping its wings to pour down a rain of sharp silver needles, causing a lot of damage to the players on the ground. However, so as to not injure its own owner, the mechanical hawk would not attack the ground within a foot around Gu Shuhang. Therefore, this setting was meant for players to use the BOSS to avoid the damage of the mechanical hawk.
However, this was only valid in theory. In actuality, because Gu Shuhang ran around, only a few people had the movement skills to follow him around to avoid the attack from the air. Generally, it was only through the forceful adding of blood that one passed this stage.
Sword Song Ice Rain was clear; there were many hawks in the sky, and the BOSS was madly running around. The two people also had no healer… this time, they should die, right?!
However, Ink Mark and Thousand Miles Ice are still alive.
——They kept up with the BOSS at a very fast speed, staying within a foot of the BOSS and successfully avoiding the dense silver needles from the sky above!
How fast was their reaction speed, to immediately catch up with a BOSS that randomly ran around?
Gu Shuhang ran further and further away, as did Ink Mark and Thousand Miles Ice. One black and one white figure soon vanished into the deep forest of Jianshen Valley.
Sword Song Ice Ran could only dully stare at their retreating backs, just as if he were watching a fantasy movie.
Someone on the voice channel asked: “Sword Song Ice Rain, shall we resurrect and fight again?”
“What fight?!” Sword Song Ice Rain could not help but to swear. “These two people are really too perverted!”
He could not think of a more appropriate adjective to describe Ink Mark’s and Thousand Miles Ice’s operation. After all, it was quite clear that with their level, they could easily kill him whenever they wanted.
“Then what about the BOSS?” someone reluctantly asked. “Are we just giving up?”
“Where are they now? Those who are keeping a lookout, report their coordinates,” Sword Song Ice Rain entered the voice room to give commands.
“I saw them pulling the BOSS towards the forest in the east. The BOSS was stuck in the middle of two trees and couldn’t run, and they directly hit it to 5% blood!” was the prompt report from a resurrected guild member.
“…” Sword Song Ice Rain took a deep breath to calm himself down. “We withdraw. Regarding this matter, I’ll explain to the leader myself. With their output level, the BOSS cannot be far from death.”
As soon as he finished saying this, a line of golden letters appeared in the announcement area overhead——
Congratulations to chivalrous men [Ink Mark] and [Thousand Miles Ice] for successfully defeating Gu Shuhang in Jianshen Valley, and obtaining the secret book ‘North Goose Flying South’, as well as rare material treasure chest x10!
All the players in the server were stunned—— two people killed the BOSS? That was incredible!
Maybe “punch 18 streets” is like in animes when you get punched so hard you slide over the ground for a few blocks then lie limply in agony?? A normal person wouldn’t survive that.
I like their teamwork so far, thanks for posting
Is it? I will research again on this idiom, or I’ll wait for my editor to edit this, anyway thanks for your suggestion 😆
You’re welcome, I also like their teamwork!
Now that is beautiful teamworkkk
Thank you for the chapter!
Good Teamwork <3
Yes… Too perverted players… How dare they be so shameless!!
you’re trying to monopolize the boss as if you already own it, especially blocking the path of those who wanted to challenge it, and now you’re calling those two ‘perverted’?? the nerve!!
