Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 171

When the three silver-armored corpses emerged onto the ground, Ye Tian Xie’s expression grew more serious.

The combination of three distinct professions posed a far greater threat than three identical opponents. Identical enemies only required a single counter-strategy, but three unique professions meant dealing with three varied forms of attack: long-range archery, swift assassination, and relentless summoning.

As the three emerged from their coffins, the 《Bow Soul》 readied his bow while the 《Summoning Soul》 raised his hand, and the 《Shadow Soul》 instantly vanished from sight.

A Piercing Cloud Arrow surged forward with a terrifying tearing and penetrating force, its speed outpacing any arrows Ye Tian Xie had seen from other archers. He twisted to evade it easily. However, behind him came an unusual sound—three Level 20 skeleton soldiers wielding shields and rusted blades burst forth from the blackened ground, attacking simultaneously.

It was a golden rule to never give a summoner enough time to summon. Once their summoned allies began to pile up, they could endlessly delay and overwhelm their opponent, leaving no chance for a counterattack.

Summoners had the weakest attack power of all professions and shared the lowest health and defense stats with mages. However, in battle, summoners were always the highest-priority target. Ye Tian Xie swung his weapon in quick arcs, slaying the three skeletons. Just then, a dark shadow emerged beside him, and a streak of silver light brimming with deathly energy shot toward his throat.

At the same time, another Piercing Cloud Arrow flew straight for his chest. In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian Xie launched his Dragon Shadow Strike head-on at the 《Shadow Soul》, using a rapid charge to avoid both the arrow and the nearly unavoidable death strike. His charge collided directly with the enemy.

-810!

The impact knocked the 《Shadow Soul》 to the ground. Before it could rise, Ye Tian Xie followed up with three consecutive Dragon Fissure Strikes:

-1350, miss, -1348.

Although assassins boasted high agility and speed, their defense was low. The combined assault of one Dragon Shadow Strike and two Dragon Fissure Strikes reduced the 《Shadow Soul》’s health to below half. It turned into a fleeting shadow, attempting to retreat. However, Ye Tian Xie predicted its movements and took a step forward, delivering another Dragon Fissure Strike to its shoulder.

-1342!

The attack staggered the 《Shadow Soul》, leaving it vulnerable. Ye Tian Xie seized the opportunity to finish it off with another Dragon Fissure Strike, emptying its health bar.

The ground rumbled again. Three undead figures cloaked in robes and leaning on staffs appeared, immediately summoning dark scythes that sliced toward Ye Tian Xie. At the same time, a pressurized sound of something massive cutting through the air bore down on him—not at his body, but at his feet.

Ye Tian Xie’s eyes sharpened as he leaped to the side, dodging the scythes and narrowly escaping the immense impact.

Boom!!

The explosion ignited a burst of blinding flames, scattering the damp earth. The Ultimate Exploding Arrow from the 《Bow Soul》 exceeded ordinary explosive arrows in range, power, and area of effect. Ignoring the undead summoners, Ye Tian Xie smirked coldly and sprinted at full speed, closing the distance to the summoner. Within the confined thirty-meter space, the summoner and archer professions were at a severe disadvantage. Once caught at close range, their downfall was inevitable.

This summoner, with only 5000 health, was swiftly dealt with by Ye Tian Xie using four Dragon Fissure Strikes. Consequently, the three summoned Dark Spirit Envoys also vanished upon his death. Following this, Ye Tian Xie quickly dashed toward the 《Bow Soul》.

For a skilled archer, attack power is secondary. The real key lies in mobility and positioning. However, this 《Bow Soul》, infused with demonic awareness, was far from a genuine archer. It merely stood its ground, attacking with arrows, even as Ye Tian Xie closed in. Predictably, an archer at close range is nothing more than a sitting duck.

-1302, -1311, -2601, -1310, -1299.

Five attacks were all it took to bring the 《Bow Soul》 from full health to zero, leaving it sprawled lifeless on the ground.

Three Level 20 three-star elites—each wielding advanced and potent abilities—had been easily dispatched by Ye Tian Xie without breaking a sweat.

In truth, compared to these so-called bosses, Ye Tian Xie himself was the real, nigh-unbeatable boss. While his raw stats may not have been high and were even comparatively lower than these elites, his unique abilities allowed him to maximize his potential, multiplying the effectiveness of his attributes several times over.

From one boss to two, then three… would the next step be…?

As if confirming Ye Tian Xie’s speculation, the sound of coffin lids being pushed aside echoed once again. This time, he distinctly heard four lids opening simultaneously! But by now, having faced numerous bosses that posed little threat, such sounds no longer fazed him.

This time, what appeared before him were not armored warriors but figures cloaked in silver robes, their bodies encircled by elemental auras of various colors—four magic-class elites!

Faced with four members of the Sky Soul Mercenary Group, all specializing in magic, Ye Tian Xie wore a faint smile devoid of tension. To him, mages were the least threatening class.

Although mages have low health and defense, their offensive power and range were unmatched. However, all spells required one critical component—chanting. The stronger the spell, the longer the chant. For others, this might mean longer casting times, but for Ye Tian Xie, these brief chants were ample time to detect the target area and dodge with ease.

The four mages surrounded Ye Tian Xie, chanting briefly before unleashing their attacks. A horizontal wind slash, a spreading fire wall, descending lightning, and rising earth spikes converged on Ye Tian Xie’s position, creating a dazzling display of magical light.

But by the time their spells reached the center, Ye Tian Xie had already moved, charging at the fastest caster—the Wind Mage—and striking twice with Dragon Fissure Strikes.

The four mages turned in unison, locking onto Ye Tian Xie for a second round of chanting. Among their spells, lightning and fire were the most potent, wind the fastest, and earth the strongest in defense. Thus, the Wind Mage completed his chant first, but just as he was about to cast, Ye Tian Xie’s fourth Dragon Fissure Strike landed, emptying his health bar.

After eliminating the Wind Mage, Ye Tian Xie rolled left, evading a series of attacks—lightning, fire, and flying rocks—all striking his previous position.

Without the intelligence they once possessed, these resurrected mages posed no real threat to Ye Tian Xie. Even when he closed in on them, they continued chanting instead of retreating. If one mage had attempted to hold Ye Tian Xie’s movements while the others attacked together, he might have had to expend some effort. But in this situation, Ye Tian Xie easily dispatched the Thunder Mage with four Dragon Fissure Strikes before turning to the Fire Mage.

The Sky Soul Mercenary Group had once been immensely powerful, with all members above Level 80 and exceptional in every aspect. Their leader, the legendary Mercenary King, was a peerless warrior. These resurrected bodies, borrowing only fragments of their strength, could not compare to their former glory.

With a muffled thud, the Fire Mage fell, leaving only the Earth Mage. Though the Earth Mage raised a Rock Shield, it shattered under Ye Tian Xie’s fifth attack, and the last of the mages was defeated.

Silence returned once more. These four formidable mages, each capable of sending current player teams into a state of extreme caution, were swept away by Ye Tian Xie like fallen leaves in an autumn wind. Speculation about the mysterious and powerful Xie Tian continues to spread among the players of Destiny, but none could imagine that he had already reached such heights of strength.

【1… 2… 3… 4… Don’t think this is just a battle of attrition with the Sky Soul Mercenary Group. There’s a colossal surprise waiting at the end!】
