Chapter 1 The Dark Singers Flee

The Dark Singers scattered and fled, pursued by the Ape King.

"You Nan, how do you think those ten-odd people will kill the Ape King?" Canon asked, curious.

"I don't know, let's watch. I think it's a bit of a long shot. That's a level 180 Lord. Without the Sanction Magic Array, we can't even damage it!" Yue You Nan said. She was also skeptical of Nie Yan and the others.

No one had ever killed a level 180 Lord. Many guild teams had tried countless methods, but all had failed.

For Nie Yan and his thirteen people to kill a level 180 Lord seemed like a pipe dream.

Yue You Nan, Canon, and the others retreated quickly, watching from a distance.

At this moment, Nie Yan and the others were discussing how to deal with the Ape King in their team chat.

"Nie Yan, what if those people try to steal the kill when we're fighting the Ape King?" Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun asked. This was a problem that had to be guarded against.

"Don't worry, except for Zhu Shen Zhi Jian and Angel's Dominion, no one would dare to steal our Nirvana Guild's monster. Unless they want to die," Can Lan Dao Guang said confidently.

"Dao Guang is right," Nie Yan nodded. The Dark Singers shouldn't be so tactless.

"If they dare to steal, we'll slaughter them all!" Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan waved his staff, he was definitely a warmonger.

Just then, Sun and Wang Zhe Tian Xia in the distance made their move. They suddenly appeared behind the Ape King, using skills like Muffled Hit and Eviscerate. The Ape King's blood spurted out, and damage numbers of one or two thousand floated above its head.

After a few attacks, they immediately entered stealth and disappeared.

The Ape King was chasing the Dark Singers, and was caught off guard by Sun and Wang Zhe Tian Xia's attacks. Its aggro shifted, and it turned to look for Sun and Wang Zhe Tian Xia.

The Ape King let out a deafening roar, and a powerful shockwave swept out.

Sun and Wang Zhe Tian Xia, who were already a hundred yards away, had damage numbers of over a hundred float above their heads, and their bodies slowly reappeared.

The Ape King strode forward and rushed towards Sun and Wang Zhe Tian Xia.

"Lure the Ape King to the slope!" Nie Yan looked around at the terrain. There was only one slope that could be used, but it was better than nothing.

For large monsters like the Ape King, attacking downhill players on a slope had a 3%-5% chance of causing a miss. When raiding bosses, this small advantage was highly valued by players. The Dark Singers had also used this slope when dealing with the Ape King.

Seeing Sun and Wang Zhe Tian Xia running towards the slope, Lei Su, Can Lan Dao Guang, and Shui Se Yan Tou activated Charge and rushed towards the slope.

The Ape King chased after Sun and Wang Zhe Tian Xia, quickly reaching the top of the slope.

The Ape King wanted to chase Sun and Wang Zhe Tian Xia, but Lei Su, Can Lan Dao Guang, and Shui Se Yan Tou charged from all directions.

Intercept!

Intercept!

Intercept!

After the Ape King reached the designated location, Lei Su, Can Lan Dao Guang, and Shui Se Yan Tou used Intercept almost simultaneously, stopping the Ape King.

The Ape King was attacked and swung its fist at Lei Su.

Lei Su leaped back three yards, dodging the Ape King's attack.

With a boom, a deep pit was left where the Ape King's fist landed.

"Position confirmed!"

Lei Su suddenly charged to the left of the Ape King, Can Lan Dao Guang circled to the front of the Ape King and smashed a heavy shield strike into the Ape King's chest, the Ape King staggered back, but before it could retreat a few steps, Shui Se Yan Tou was blocking its right rear. The three of them had trapped the Ape King, unable to move.

The Ape King roared and slammed its iron fist into Can Lan Dao Guang's body.

A damage number of over thirty thousand floated above Can Lan Dao Guang's head.

Can Lan Dao Guang's health reached a staggering ninety thousand, and his defense and other stats were also terrifying, so the Ape King's threat to him was still quite limited.

Nie Yan didn't need to give any orders, Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai and Hei Se Di Yu would naturally take care of Can Lan Dao Guang and the others' health.

Hei Se Di Yu waved his staff, and dark forces fell on the Ape King.

The Ape King's attack and movement speed were reduced.

Tang Yao, Xie Yao, Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun, and Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan waved their staffs, and beams of magic tore through the sky, bombarding the Ape King. Damage numbers of three to five thousand floated above the Ape King's head, and occasionally, even one or two critical hits of eight or nine thousand appeared.

This damage made the Dark Singer players dumbfounded. They could only deal a few hundred damage even with the Sanction Magic Array.

"Damn, these guys are too strong," Canon said, shocked.

Yue You Nan sighed quietly and said, "No wonder the Nirvana Guild has become so famous."

Nie Yan summoned the Shadow Assassin, Golden Earth Dragon, and Paladin Leves. Paladin Leves waved the greatsword in his hand, casting buffing magic on all the players. The Golden Earth Dragon spat out dragon breath, bombarding the Ape King.

Nie Yan, the Shadow Assassin, Sun, and Wang Zhe Tian Xia circled around the Ape King, occasionally stepping forward to unleash a barrage of skills, causing some bleed damage.

Nie Yan and the others' output was quite amazing, and the Ape King's health dropped bit by bit.

After killing so many Dark Singers just now, the Ape King's health quickly recovered to 92%, but now it quickly dropped to 79%.

Can Lan Dao Guang used one shield strike after another, as steady as a rock, preventing the Ape King from crossing the line, and with two divine priests taking care of him from behind, there was no way his health could drop.

When the Ape King's health dropped to around 70%, it let out an earth-shattering roar, and its body suddenly swelled up a lot.

Many of the Dark Singers on the periphery were secretly thinking that when the Ape King entered a berserk state, the Nirvana Guild would suffer, and the shield warriors in front might not be able to hold on.

Just as the Ape King's body was rapidly expanding, Can Lan Dao Guang shouted, God of War's Guard!

Can Lan Dao Guang's body also swelled up a bit, and his whole body was shrouded in a golden light. In the light and shadow, there seemed to be a golden-armored giant holding a giant shield.

What kind of skill is that?

The Dark Singers in the distance thought in shock. They felt a heavy pressure coming through the air.

The Ape King's iron fist slammed down.

With a dull thud, Can Lan Dao Guang's body only shook slightly, and he didn't fly out and die as they had imagined.

A damage number of over twenty thousand floated above Can Lan Dao Guang's head, not more than before, but nearly 30% less.

"Not much!" Can Lan Dao Guang revealed a satisfied smile, and smashed another heavy shield strike into the Ape King's abdomen.

When the Ape King's health dropped to 30%, it entered its second berserk state, its fur turning into a strange emerald green, and its eyes emitting a faint green light. Its body was even larger than before, and its attributes increased by another 50% on top of the original berserk state.

"Damn, this guy went berserk again."

The Dark Singer players watching from afar looked at each other in dismay. Only now did they realize how naive it was to think that they could kill the level 180 Ape King. They couldn't even survive the Ape King's first berserk state, let alone the Ape King's second berserk state.

Boom boom boom, the Ape King's iron fists smashed into Can Lan Dao Guang's body, dealing five or six thousand damage with a very fast attack frequency.

Once the Ape King's attack increased, it tested the healing abilities of the healers behind them. If the healing wasn't fast enough, Can Lan Dao Guang would soon die under the Ape King's iron fists.

Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai and Hei Se Di Yu's healing never stopped. Their healing had to be staggered, otherwise, if the healing time was stuck at one point, it would be easy for both of them to stop at the same time. At the same time, the interval between the two healings couldn't be too long. If the interval was too long, Can Lan Dao Guang would easily be in danger.

The two's healing rose and fell, and the rhythmic pace made the Dark Singers in the distance gawk.

"Those two healers are more effective than twenty or thirty of our priests healing together," Canon sighed. Their priests were not in the same league as Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai and Hei Se Di Yu at all.

Comparing themselves to others was infuriating. Yue You Nan looked at her team members, and then compared them to the people from the Nirvana Guild, and a deep sense of frustration welled up in her heart.

Seeing that Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai and Hei Se Di Yu's healing was a bit strained, Nie Yan had Paladin Leves interject with a heal for Can Lan Dao Guang, and cast a Calamity upon the Ape King. A wave of weakening curse energy immediately spread around the Ape King, and the Ape King's stats plummeted by 20%.

"Boss, this curse effect is good."

"Do it again."

"What do you think curses are? Can you just do it whenever you want?"

Nie Yan looked at Kalenna on his shoulder. Kalenna looked very lazy. At this critical moment, Kalenna didn't seem willing to act again. If Kalenna acted, ten Ape Kings would still have to lie down obediently. He couldn't command Kalenna, so he had to give up.

The crowd cooperated very well, and the Ape King's health steadily dropped.

"Everyone, work harder, this guy is about to die!" Shui Se Yan Tou shouted in the team chat.

Tang Yao, Xie Yao, and the others couldn't help but speed up their attack frequency.

Nie Yan circled behind the Ape King and swung the dagger in his hand, landing Hell Subjugation Strike after Hell Subjugation Strike.

Miss, miss, miss...

Hell Subjugation Strike never succeeded.

When the Ape King's health dropped to less than 20%, Can Lan Dao Guang, Shui Se Yan Tou, and Lei Su also swung their swords and used their execution skills. Although the execution success rate was low, if anyone's execution skill took effect, they could kill the Ape King in one fell swoop.

Raiding bosses as a team sometimes depended on luck. Good luck could lead to twice the result with half the effort.

"Damn it, still not dead." Lei Su swung his greatsword and used another execution.
