Chapter 841 - 836: Lord Gangxin Joins the Battle!
Rein, Wu Mingyue, and other Awakened finally witnessed the terrifying might of the Demon Army up close.
Originally, they thought that with the Guardian Camp gathered, with powerful individuals abundant, figures like Dongbo Chengzhi and Beiming Jihu, who could each take on two or three Demon Generals, they were a force to be reckoned with.
Others like Zhu Que and Xiyuan Zhang were equally formidable, not to mention there were five or six Lord Level experts.
With such an extravagant lineup in the Expedition Team, facing five Demon General factions should be a breeze, right?
They had all fallen into a misunderstanding.
The camp Lords were indeed strong, but the demons had a numerical advantage. The Lords could slay enemies, but they couldn’t protect the entire team.
So, when swordsmen from the Expedition Team were exhausted and surrounded to death using swarm tactics by demons...
The Expedition Team’s charging formation couldn’t break! Couldn’t stop!
If they stopped to rescue those stranded, they would be encircled by thousands of Demon Army.
And later, other Demon General factions were continuously rushing over!
As strong as Beiming Jihu, on the front of the wedge formation, he had been replaced twice.
He wasn’t worn out; it was a necessary rotation to ensure he still had fighting strength when returning to the Black Heaven Palace.
Currently at the forefront was "Heaven-Burning" Zhu Que, this veteran Lord Level expert, as his Fire Blade swung down, his signature Sword Skill "Wildfire Spreads" surged forth.
Pervasive Fire Force drilled into demon joints, mouths, and noses, burning their cores.
Zhu Que’s power was indeed extraordinary. From outward appearances, it seemed unimpressive because his Spiritual Power was locked within the core of the Sword Force; not a trace of Energy leaked.
Only when it touched the demon’s viscera and core did the Fire Force reveal its might.
Of course, there were differences among native leaders.
Every time Beiming Jihu rotated up, he led the Expedition Team, charging forward over five hundred paces.
Replacing him with Dongbo Chengzhi, they could lead the team forward three to four hundred paces.
Replacing him with Zhu Que, they could only advance two hundred paces.
Not to mention Xiyuan Zhang, this Demon Control Master’s demon servants had all been lost, and unlike swordsmen, he couldn’t charge into battle. He could only hide in the center of the formation with Bai Pu, shielded layer by layer.
Rein, under Leia’s support, also stepped up for a while—after all, his performance decided the Military Merit Points for the main quest line two; earning more is certainly better.
It’s just that Rein, even with significantly lesser Attributes, despite having the True Intent Prototype providing Combat Power Amplitude, could only support for dozens of paces before retreating, he said with a wry smile:
"The pressure is too great."
"You’re already very impressive," Leia encouraged, "Look at those natives, the way they look at you has become much more respectful."
At this moment, suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded, and a burst of cheering arose from the center of the Expedition Team, raising morale sharply.
"Lord Gangxin is entering the fray!"
"Lord Gangxin is entering the fray!"
The two looked towards the sound.
The Demon General servant Gang Rock, standing three meters tall with a sturdy hunchback like a supporting wall, wielded a massive Stone Axe in each hand, taking large strides forward.
While on Gang Rock’s sturdy flat shoulder back, Bai Pu stood firmly, holding a Doomsday Spear of twelve feet in length.
Dongbo Chengzhi glanced at him: "How does it feel?"
"Much better." Bai Pu smiled.
Actually, Bai Pu wasn’t exhausted, merely taking the opportunity to gain Enlightenment on the [Xiyuan Clan’s Demon-Controlling Secret Technique].
Standing on the Demon General servant’s shoulder back, Bai Pu thrust his spear tip like a Phoenix Nod.
At this time, the demon battle formation was quite scattered, blocking the front was a Warrior Level Obsidian Armor Soldier. Its left arm infused with Demonic Power, transforming into an Obsidian Shield, the right arm extending into an Obsidian Long Whip.
Facing Bai Pu, the Obsidian Armor Soldier warrior fully displayed what it meant to be fearless in ignorance, its left arm’s Obsidian Shield blocking the Doomsday Spear Tip, right arm’s long whip whistling to pull Bai Pu down.
Bai Pu snorted and suddenly accelerated to thrust directly!
Cold beam flashed, shield shattered.
Following swiftly with a Wind-Seeking thrust, striking the glabella, Power gently exhaled within the Obsidian Armor Soldier warrior’s brain core, twisting the walnut-sized brain into mush.
At this time, Bai Pu had allocated 76 Celestial Human Attribute Points to Power.
Normal Power 202, Doomsday Spear +30, Celestial Human Attribute Points +76, shield devoured strong figures’ corpses +10, thus Bai Pu’s Power reached 318 points without activating Celestial Descent or Man and Horse as One!
Factoring in Doomsday Spear’s minimum attack power of 180 points, [Immortal King’s Iron Bracelets] while both hands hold the same weapon add +30 attack power, Bai Pu’s base attack power came to 528 points.
Three Calamities Composite Mystical Arts provides a 540% damage amplitude, adding Combat Specialization Amplitude, Maximum Weapon Attack Power Amplitude, Fighting Qi Strength Amplitude, and more, Bai Pu’s maximum damage amplitude approaches 20 times! If he hits a critical strike, with weapon damage maximized, it could reach up to 23.4 times!
An ordinary strike with attached Fighting Qi inflicts 9345 theoretical damage!
If the Obsidian Armor Soldier warrior honestly used both arms to shield, concentrating fully to block, it might have succeeded, enduring Bai Pu’s attacks a few more times.
But he overestimated his stats, blocking single-arm while also distractedly using his right arm to pull Bai Pu down...
Leading to block failure, Bai Pu accelerated a thrust and broke the shield.
After the shield broke, Bai Pu’s second thrust pierced the brain core, causing internal damage inside the enemy’s body, accounting for an actual damage of 4206 points!
The Obsidian Armor Soldier warrior’s total Life Value was around ten thousand points; vital attack damage reached over one-third of total Life Value, instantly killing it!
Even if Bai Pu hadn’t executed a vital attack, the Special Effect of Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts would inevitably ensure the Obsidian Armor Soldier was obliterated.
One thrust obliterated a Warrior Level demon, instilling terror in the hearts of other demons, forcing them to retreat.
"All advance, advance! Emperor Yan commands to skin and dismantle these Oath Warriors, devour them alive!"
Beside, a Enhanced Warrior Level Sand Demon, as a Spiritual Talent-type Sand Demon Mage, he counted as the Earth Element Demon with stronger language skills.
Relying on his Passive Talent [Quicksand Body], he dared to emerge and command other demon soldiers to hold the line.
[Quicksand Body: Passive, your body can transform into quicksand anytime, causing physical attacks to deflect, reducing 66% of physical damage.]
Adding natural Armor, and Enhanced Warrior’s inherent 24% "like enhanced equipment damage reduction" effect, this Sand Demon is the nemesis of physical attacks!
What, you want to play Magic?
Alright, alright, Sand Demon itself is a Spiritual Talent-type Demon Mage Profession, possessing many lifesaving Skills such as Sand Shield, Sand Clone, Quicksand Shifting, and others, can toy with you till next year.
However, Bai Pu had no inclination to utilize his half-baked Magic.
He simply performed a void grasp towards the Sand Demon Mage!
Dimensional Grasp!
Fighting Qi Chains instantly crossed distances to bind the Sand Demon Mage’s body.
"Hmph, the tighter you grip sand, the easier it slips away. You want to grasp quicksand?"
The Sand Demon Mage first relied on his own Demonic Power to resist, shortening [Suppression]’s control special effect down to half a second.
After 0.5 seconds of control time, the Sand Demon Mage immediately tried to use [Quicksand Shifting], transforming into flowing sand to escape the bindings of Fighting Qi Chains.
Unexpectedly... activation failed!
