Hu Die Lan
Chapter 873 First Kill!
Everyone came back to their senses only after Ji Lang executed this attack. They recognized the skill – it was the Swordsman's skill, "Gale Force Chop." However, there was no way a player could execute Gale Force Chop so quickly.
Xiaoqiang was using the fly-firing technique, meaning his view was directly facing Ji Lang. But when this chop came out, Xiaoqiang didn't react at all, simply because the attack was too fast. The blade flashed, leaving only a straight line. The cannonball was sliced and exploded, and the person was injured as well.
Injured, but not dead yet. An Wenyi hurriedly controlled Little Cold Hands, wanting to heal. At times like this, his reaction was quick, but his execution was a little lacking. In the end, the one who first healed Xiaoqiang was Lord Grim, using a small recovery spell.
At the same time, Lord Grim also rushed over. Ji Lang wasn't finished after this chop; he turned around and was about to follow up with another strike on Wu Chen. Lord Grim didn't have taunt-like aggro skills, so at this time when he needed to put out fires, it was always inconvenient. He could only think of using some control skills to distract Ji Lang and save Xiaoqiang.
But before Lord Grim could rush over, someone else was faster.
Tang Rou!
A Dragon Breaks the Ranks, Han Yanrou charged in with unstoppable momentum. Although the speed couldn't compare with Ji Lang's Gale Force Chop that was like a line of light, it was very timely. Before Ji Lang's blade fell, Han Yanrou had already arrived. The highly intelligent Boss also made a judgment at this moment. His figure turned, and he actually used his single blade to block Han Yanrou's charging spear.
Dragon Breaks the Ranks had a super strong judgment, but after all, the Boss wasn't just an ordinary existence. This blade actually managed to block Han Yanrou's spear.
Blade and spear clashed, making a "scrape" sound. The spear was blocked, but the momentum of Dragon Breaks the Ranks didn't stop. Ji Lang didn't move his feet, but he was pushed back by Dragon Breaks the Ranks, his feet scraping two grooves on the ground.
The mud churned, and the momentum of Dragon Breaks the Ranks finally stopped. Han Yanrou and Ji Lang stopped together. Both sides were preparing for the next strike, but unexpectedly, a figure suddenly flew out from the rolling mud, directly wiping at Ji Lang's neck, but without a trace of blade light.
Earth Tunneling Technique!
The one who made the move was naturally Deception, but for system NPCs, there were never negative states such as shock, surprise, or daze. This sudden attack would have been particularly difficult to resist for a player, but for a Boss, it was no different from crawling to his feet and then attacking. Ji Lang retracted his single blade, and Deception's ninja blade was blocked. Then, with a flick outward, he directly knocked Deception away.
Mo Fan didn't give up. In mid-air, Deception used a Shadow Clone Technique. The fake body continued to fly, while the real body directly spun to Ji Lang's side.
Shadow Clone Technique had a different effect on NPCs. Players would make inferences based on the actual situation, but NPCs were different. To distinguish such Shadow Clone Techniques, NPCs had to have specific attributes. Ji Lang obviously didn't have this ability. He was deceived by the Shadow Clone Technique, ignored the real body behind him, and solidly ate Deception's Swallow Drop.
However, for a Boss, even if it was already in the red, eating one or two skills wasn't a big deal. Ji Lang, who was attacked, turned around and swung his blade. Mo Fan reacted quickly. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately retracted his momentum. Deception didn't continue the combo and retreated.
In the time it took to return, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had already arrived. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella shook into a battle spear, launching a triple-strike, and finally a Circle Swing, throwing Ji Lang to the ground.
Wu Chen's Dawn Rifle could finally be considered completely out of danger. Thinking back, he was afraid for a while. This attack was launched too quickly. Even if he had been on guard, Wu Chen wasn't confident he could have dodged it.
Now, no one knew if Ji Lang would use this skill again. Ye Xiu hurriedly asked Wu Chen about the damage he had taken from the attack, and then rearranged the positions. Those within the one-hit kill range were all moved beyond the range of this attack. Those within the range naturally had to rely on the Priest to keep their health topped up.
As expected, after fighting for a while, Ji Lang used this move again. The blade flashed, forming a straight line, followed by Steamed Bun Invasion spurting blood.
This time, the attack was given to Steamed Bun Invasion, and Steamed Bun didn't dodge it either. And looking at it this way, it was clear that this skill's attack was a random point, and didn't follow the aggro system at all.
However, the team, already prepared, naturally wouldn't panic again. Little Cold Hands' emergency healing ultimate moves were continuously cast on Steamed Bun Invasion, and the others rushed up to cover him, blocking Ji Lang from following up with another strike.
The tricks of the number one Boss, Vanguard Ji Lang, had now been seen through. Except for the emergency situation with the abnormal Gale Force Chop, there wasn't much suspense. 10% of his health was quickly reduced to the end.
"He's about to fall. Everyone pay attention to preserving your lives. Fill up your health. Little Cold Hands, keep a close eye," Ye Xiu said in a deep voice. At the last moment, there were Bosses who liked to self-destruct. They would drag some people down with them even when they died. This kind of Boss was particularly disgusting, especially in dungeons, which would directly affect the player's plan to continue progressing.
"Received," An Wenyi responded, carefully healing everyone's health and preparing for emergency rescue.
"Okay, everyone retreat!" Just like when he was reduced to red health, everyone retreated in advance, giving the Boss enough space to fall. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim faced him alone, and then Wu Chen's Dawn Rifle launched the final blow.
"Prepare!" Ye Xiu shouted.
Wu Chen controlled the finishing ultimate move.
"Release!"
As the voice fell, the satellite beam crashed down, and Lord Grim quickly retreated. Everything was the same as before. Ji Lang, who was hit by the satellite beam, saw his life rapidly fall to the end, but when it reached 1, it stopped.
The damage of this satellite beam wasn't just a little short. Everyone instantly understood.
"Everyone pay attention to cover. He's about to use a big move!" Ye Xiu shouted.
Those who found stones, those who hid behind trees. Because they were prepared, everyone instantly found cover. Only Lord Grim, who was the last to escape, seemed a little rushed, but the master of Lord Grim was also the most experienced and skilled of all of them.
The blade in Ji Lang's hand had already fallen to the ground. Staggering, he reached out and pulled out the pistol from his waist.
Sure enough, all the equipment on his body had a purpose. Was this final ultimate move going to use this pistol? What would it be? Knowing that he had no information at all, Ye Xiu chose this conservative avoidance strategy. Otherwise, as an expert, he would definitely actively think about how to directly suppress the Boss's big move.
Everyone stared at Ji Lang, and seeing that he didn't seem to be chasing anyone, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Then they saw Ji Lang very reluctantly raise his gun-wielding right hand, and then there was a "bang" sound. A bright flare, shot high into the sky, fireworks dazzling. Then, Ji Lang fell.
Before anyone could comment, another system notification appeared: Congratulations to the Happy Guild for the first kill of Vanguard Ji Lang of the Bandit Lair.
The system message was obviously not just sent to the Happy team members. Just looking at the various stunned expressions in the world chat, you knew that this message was also announced to the world at the same time.
The first kill of a level 75 dungeon no longer had overall statistics. Killing a small Boss was enough to be on the system announcement. According to Glory's rules, there would be extra rewards for those who were on the system announcement.
But at this time, players didn't have time to envy this reward. It was only 1:21, just an hour after the expansion pack was updated. Many people were still scratching their heads because there were too many people to accept quests and not enough monsters to kill. Someone had already completed the dungeon first kill?
This... was probably the fastest dungeon first kill record in Glory history, right? Although in the past, you had to complete the entire dungeon to get the first kill, and this time you just killed a Boss to be on TV. Even so, players suspected that no one had ever done it before.
Even the elite teams of the major club guilds, although they had entered the dungeon at this time, were exploring, testing, and cherishing every dungeon cooldown. No one really thought they could clear the Boss now, and no one would even think about killing a Boss.
But now, the bloody facts were in front of them. There was such a team that had killed the first Boss of the 10-man dungeon. And they succeeded on the first try without any information.
All the club guilds felt humiliated. All along, first kills and records had been their playthings. Ordinary players shouldn't even think about them. But this time, they had barely entered the dungeon and hadn't figured anything out before being swept out of the dungeon, while someone had already completed a first kill.
Then, at a particularly inopportune time, the Happy Guild released a recruitment advertisement, which, in conjunction with the system announcement of the first kill, was particularly eye-catching.
The leaders of the major guilds were furious.
If it was any other team, it would be fine, but what was up with Happy? Who didn't know that Ye Qiu was in charge? They dared to challenge Excellent Era in the Challenger League. This should be professional-level strength, right? Professional-level strength, running to play dungeons, wasn't this just bullying the fact that the professional players in our clubs were more disciplined and no one stayed up all night to play the game! Otherwise, this kind of dungeon wouldn't be difficult for you, so could it be difficult for teams like Blue Rain, Samsara, Tiny Herb, and Tyranny?
The club guilds were suffocating! They could have done it themselves, but they couldn't. And these guys did it, but they had no self-awareness at all, and even used this as a sign to promote themselves. This was really too unprincipled!
The people of the major guilds complained in their hearts, but they couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the vast number of players. This first kill, which seemed unprincipled to the club guilds, was soon regarded by players as the most amazing first kill in history. It was so satisfying for the people of the club guilds to spit out a mouthful of old blood through the monitor.
Great God, please take your Challenger League seriously! Don't always come to the game to mess around and disrupt the order, okay?
