At the incoming attack of the Imperial Triton Soldier, Xie Feng just scoffed internally and continued to move forward as if he did not see it.

From other people's point of view, it was as if he really wanted to be hit by the boss's attack.

​​

However, before the tip of the spear could touch Xie Feng's armor, he made a strange movement with his spear and blocked the beast's attack with a metallic sound echoing through the battlefield that was now silent due to the death of all the monsters.

After blocking the Imperial Triton Soldier's spear, Xie Feng stabbed forward with his spear. But instead of targeting the boss's body, Xie Feng struck the tip of the enemy spear with precision.

Clang!!!

"Krr..."

The difference in strength between the two became immediately evident. Just as in the previous case with Yang Tian, the Imperial Triton Soldier's posture immediately broke and it took a step back in an attempt to reestablish its battle position.

Xie Feng had to admit that the Imperial Triton Soldier's martial arts skill with the spear was first class as even after losing its posture, the boss moved swiftly to reposition itself again. However, Xie Feng was even quicker as he was prepared for such a thing.

Taking advantage of the remaining inertial force from the previous attack and pushing himself forward, Xie Feng stomped the ground beneath his feet with vigor and jumped as high as possible.

The wind whistled in Xie Feng's ears and in a split second he had surpassed the height of the Imperial Triton Soldier.

Before the shocked eyes of the beast and the astonished eyes of the players running up behind him, Xie Feng mercilessly slammed his knee into the monster's face!

Bang!!!

Roar!

The Imperial Triton Soldier roared in pain while its body was sent flying two or three meters before falling to the ground. The boss, being a soldier of the imperial army of the royal marine family, tried to stand up as quickly as possible to continue the battle.

However, before it could get to its feet...

Bang!!!

Xie Feng raised his foot high and stomped with all his might on the Imperial Triton Soldier's chest, causing the monster to roar in pain once again. The monster tried its best to stand up but failed miserably.

After all, although it was a Lord grade level 15 boss, Xie Feng was currently level 17. However, the most important thing was that Xie Feng's STR stat had already gone beyond 200 points!

Bang!!!

With yet another stomp and hearing the roar of the beast again, Xie Feng finally relaxed a little. Having taken a deep breath, he raised the Calamity Spear and without mercy pierced the Imperial Triton Soldier's head.

The tip of the Calamity Spear glowed with a faint blood red glow and unhindered it reached its target.

[Redemption Stab!]

-7998! (Critical Hit!)

-7998! (Critical Hit!)

-7998! (Critical Hit!)

Trishula activated in conjunction with a critical hit. Three powerful and overwhelming damage figures were activated at the same time! The almost 17,000 health points of the Imperial Triton Soldier disappeared in an instant; the beast did not even let out a sound before its death.

Just like that, just so simply, a level fifteen Lord-grade boss was killed with a single hit!

The silence was the absolute ruler of the place. No one could believe what they had just seen.

"Y-You've got to be kidding me, man..."

Finally, someone managed to mutter under his breath. However, even after that, no one reacted.

Although everyone had already seen Shiva's power and he had also been identified as the Chinese player with the highest attack power, it was still hard to accept what they had just witnessed. Insta kill a boss, for the second time in a single day. This was not as simple as adding one plus one; a boss was called a boss precisely because they were beasts with the ability to take the lives of players of the same level and even higher levels with no problem! Even a Sun grade boss was no exception.

First, it was Rainbow Butterfly; with a strange skill, the Insta Kill effect was activated and the Imperial Triton Soldier that appeared at the end of the 2nd wave was killed. In the face of such an effect, let alone 16,700 health points that the Imperial Triton Soldier possessed, even if it were 100 million the result would be the same.

Then, it was Shiva; with an off charge and seemingly simple attack, the total damage caused by a single stab of his spear was close to 25,000 points of physical damage!

Not to mention the others, Xie Feng was slightly surprised too for what had just happened. He didn't expect that his luck would be so good that not only would Trishula be triggered, even a critical hit would be successfully released!

"Damn monster..." The corner of Yang Tian's mouth contracted several times as he approached Xie Feng.

"I don't want to hear that from someone who withstood a Lord's attacks for so long without even wavering." Xie Feng replied and rolled his eyes.

Xie Feng was genuinely surprised by Yang Tian's defensive power as well as the absurd amount of HP he possessed. You should know that the only reason Xie Feng had 5600 HP was because his equipment gave it to him; in truth, practically 70-80% of Xie Feng's health points came from stats or bonuses that the items gave him. Precisely for that reason he was amazed at the amount of HP Yang Tian possessed.

* * *

The players at the south gate successfully overcame the attack of the 3rd wave of monsters and defended the city behind them along with its inhabitants.

However, although they had achieved victory after so much effort and sacrifice, no one could smile.

The small group of Xie Feng, Yang Tian, and Red Snow had gathered under a tree near the entrance of the city to chat with each other. After 3 waves of attack, everyone knew that between the end of one wave and the beginning of another, the players could rest for twenty to thirty minutes or so.

"So many?" Xie Feng frowned deeply after listening to the report Yang Tian had just received.

"Right. So many." Yang Tian nodded firmly. There was no doubt in his voice. "240,000 players died during the third wave. Together with the players who died between the first and second wave, the total number of deaths is 390,000."

The atmosphere became heavy after Yang Tian repeated himself. Although his tone of voice was light, those words weighed hundreds of tons on the shoulders of everyone present.

"240,000 deaths in the third wave..." Xie Yao murmured in shock.

Considering that there were 1.2 million players defending the south gate at the beginning, the total number of remaining players was approximately 800,000. The problem was that in the third wave, the number of deaths was more than the initial two waves, which suggested that in the final two waves, the number of deaths would only increase more and more.

Although 800,000 was a huge number, considering how the death count practically doubled for each wave, the numbers were not enough.

In short, the chance of failure exceeded the chance of success.

"It's okay, there's no need to worry." Xie Feng suddenly smiled and attracted everyone's attention. "Victory will undoubtedly be ours."

"Not to be a spoilsport, but I don't think words of encouragement will do any good here." Yang Tian couldn't help but point out.

Red Snow simply watched and listened in silence.

"No, it's not that." Xie Feng shook his head and pointed at Xie Yao. "It's her. She will lead us to victory."

"She?" Yang Tian looked at Xie Yao inquisitively. His doubt was reasonable, after all, he was standing next to Xie Yao at all time so he came to the conclusion that she didn't have any combat ability.

"Okay, that's her." Xie Feng nodded and looked at Xie Yao.

Xie Yao understood what Xie Feng meant by his gaze, so after selecting some parts of her status, she shared the window with everyone.

Oof...

Red Snow, who always kept calm and cool eyes, couldn't help but she gasped after seeing the information Xie Yao shared.

"Wha..." Unconsciously, Yang Tian took a step back and looked at Xie Yao with apprehension. It seemed that he was more afraid of her than Xie Feng!

After taking a deep breath, Yang Tian nodded, "Alright. Victory is o..." Yang Tian's words suddenly stopped.

The gazes of Xie Feng, Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Red Snow changed slightly at that moment.

Hu Chen and the rest looked at each other in confusion, in the end, Xiao Luo hesitantly asked, "Did something happen?"

After a moment of silence, Gu Qianxue replied, "Unsurpassed Defense just died.... His health bar just hit rock bottom just now."

"What!?" The trio couldn't help but shout.

The reaction of the three was understandable, after all, Unsurpassed Defense was one of the strongest players in China. However, he had just died in just a moment? How could this be possible!

"At least, the victory of the south gate is assured..." Yang Tian corrected his words, earning a look of disdain from everyone.

What was the use of successfully defending the south gate if the other gates were penetrated by monsters? The mission would be considered a failure!

After considering for a moment, Yang Tian looked at Xie Feng.

"Shiva, go to the east gate and help them. They probably ran into some trouble."

Xie Feng frowned and looked at him doubtfully. "Go help them? And what will happen here then?"

"We have your little sister. Everything will be all right... Somehow we'll manage. Man, I don't think we can't withstand the 4th wave without you..."

Yang Tian hesitated for a moment before clenching his teeth. Just like Xie Yao did a moment ago, he started tapping a virtual window in front of him before sharing it with Xie Feng.

[Immovable Bastion: Use all the earth power within you to become an impenetrable fortress. Effect: Increases defense 1000% and creates a defensive barrier that surrounds 1000 meters around the user. The barrier cannot be destroyed unless it receives a hit that exceeds the user's defense. In this condition, the user will not be able to move while Bastion Immovable is activated. Duration: 120 minutes. Cooldown: Unknown.]

What a powerful defense skill!

Xie Feng's eyes were wide open as he read the information of the skill Immovable Bastion in shock.

[Ding!]

Suddenly, Xie Feng's communication tool flickered and buzzed, attracting everyone's attention.

Reading the contents of the message, Xie Feng's face lightened up and he immediately understood what was happening.
