Together with Chen Wuming, other members of the 'Knight's Sanctuary' guild were also slain.
However, their positions while besieging the BOSS were quite scattered.
Qin Feng didn't take out everyone.
There were still three or four players who, upon seeing the situation, immediately scattered and fled...
Qin Feng didn't pursue them.
Because there was no need; his main target was the Platinum-level BOSS in front of him, the Steel Saintess, towering as high as a three-story building!
This was a massive creature made entirely of steel.
Its lower body had no legs but was a lump of iron base, lifted by magical energy, suspended in mid-air.
That eerie and merciless smile was enough to make children cry!
"Blossoming Curse."
Qin Feng raised his hand and unleashed the Blossoming Curse on all the corpses around him, including Chen Wuming's!
The remaining tradeable lifespan on their bodies, even 50% of the non-tradeable lifespan, began to be absorbed by the cursed flowers!
Since in the Abandoned Gods Game, it is the players' consciousness that enters.
So their bodies in the game are created by the system.
Even if they are resurrected, the corpses will exist for a certain period!
...
"CNMD!"
"What does it have to do with me if you don't eat beef!"
"Did I shove beef into your mouth?!"
Chen Wuming resurrected in the middle of the Jianghai City Ruins, his face filled with anger and frustration.
He knew that Shadow's words meant, "I killed you for no reason!"
And the place where he resurrected was more than ten kilometers away from the 'Steel Saintess.'
At their speed, getting there quickly was almost impossible, and even if they did, what could they do?
A single skill from the opponent wiped them all out!
And that damage...
Over ten thousand!
Every one of them was instantly killed, and they owed Shadow several lives!
Originally, Chen Wuming and the others felt this was the worst luck.
But they didn't expect that worse was yet to come.
With Qin Feng's release of the 'Blossoming Curse,' the system notification of reduced lifespan reached the minds of Chen Wuming and the others.
This made him and his guild members' faces turn pale!
This time...
Not only did they lose half their lifespan due to death.
They were also being drained by some terrifying skill?
Even the non-tradeable lifespan was being further drained!
After a moment.
The absorption stopped, and they found... this time, they lost all their tradeable lifespan and even 75% of their non-tradeable lifespan!
According to the guild members who hadn't been killed on the scene and reported back, Chen Wuming learned that strange scarlet flowers had grown on their corpses!
This caused a series of cries and curses in the 'Knight's Sanctuary' guild channel.
But facing 'Shadow'...
None of them had any means!
They were wiped out without even seeing Shadow's shadow, let alone seeking revenge.
If they really wanted revenge, the result would only be getting killed again, twice... countless times!
...
Chen Wuming had no thoughts of revenge.
But on Qin Feng's side, while absorbing lifespan, he casually glanced at the system notification.
And saw a familiar code name 'Xiaoyouya.'
"She joined the Knight's Sanctuary?"
Qin Feng looked at the system notification with a blank expression.
Through the Blossoming Curse, he absorbed 4 days of tradeable lifespan and more than a year of non-tradeable lifespan from her.
This meant that her lifespan was almost depleted.
She probably couldn't survive on her own anymore, so she chose to join the Knight's Sanctuary guild as a black slave.
In this way...
Her survival could be guaranteed, but with 50% of her lifespan earnings going to the guild, it was almost impossible for her to develop and rise.
To this, Qin Feng naturally had no feelings.
He put aside the urge to help and respected her fate!
Qin Feng just glanced at the code name and then refocused on the 'Steel Saintess' in front of him.
"This BOSS's first phase isn't difficult."
"The challenge is in the second phase after half health, especially for me..."
After taking down Chen Wuming and others, Qin Feng went invisible, keeping a distance of ten meters from the BOSS.
The Steel Saintess, after the massive player deaths around it, didn't leave combat mode but started unleashing area attacks after losing its main target!
Its arms, shaped like iron wheels, began to rotate along with its head and upper body, drawing circles.
The iron wheel arms cut a circular ring within ten meters around it, spinning three times in succession!
Even if Chen Wuming's 'Sanctuary Knight' were still there, they couldn't withstand this skill.
But Qin Feng had retreated early.
When Shadow Blink Slash cooled down, he switched his weapon to the Ghost Ship Twin Blades and directly unleashed Shadow Blink Slash!
Swish!
He transformed into a shadow, instantly slicing through the towering body of the Steel Saintess!
The blade light burst on the Steel Saintess!
-7551 (Weak Point Attack)!
-7527 (Weak Point Attack)!
-7536 (Weak Point Attack)!
...
"No wonder it's the Iron Maiden; its defense is much higher than other BOSSes of the same level."
Qin Feng calmly observed the BOSS's health.
One Shadow Blink Slash, nine slashes, all hit weak points, taking down over sixty thousand health from the BOSS.
For the BOSS, that's about 15% of its health.
It shows that the Steel Saintess has a total of around 400,000 health.
This health is much lower than 'Purifier Faisal,' but due to its higher defense, its tankiness is no less than the Purifier.
The most crucial point is...
When the Steel Saintess's health drops below half, it will almost always have a 'reflect damage' ability, and it's 100% reflect damage!
This is the biggest challenge of the Steel Saintess!
Because of this, Qin Feng didn't plan to use the active effect of 'Gift of Liberation.'
The 'Throat Slash' continuous damage of this skill can currently increase Qin Feng's damage by six times, but with his high damage, it would directly trigger the BOSS's second phase.
Thus activating the reflect damage effect, bouncing Qin Feng to death!
"Shadow Blink Slash, nine slashes."
"Every time Shadow Blink Slash triggers 'Throat Slash,' I'll receive nine reflect damages, and Blacklight Shield can barely withstand it, but the cooldown can't keep up..."
This is why Qin Feng switched from Plague Blade to Ghost Ship Twin Blades before engaging the BOSS.
If it were the Plague Blade, any attack would cause an extra poison burst damage after 3 seconds...
This damage would be fully reflected back to Qin Feng!
But the Ghost Ship Twin Blades have no such trouble.
Including the 'Throat Slash' damage from Gift of Liberation, Qin Feng can only abandon it when fighting this BOSS.
"However..."
"In the second phase, every time the Iron Maiden uses a skill, the 'reflect damage' effect will temporarily be nullified."
"As long as I attack during its skill intervals, I can avoid reflect damage!"
Qin Feng's plan was detailed, and he wasn't in a hurry.
After one Shadow Blink Slash, he went invisible and retreated, quietly watching the BOSS unleash various area skills in place, waiting for the next attack opportunity!
At this moment...
More players were attracted by the commotion caused by the Steel Saintess!
