If this continued, Cold Storage was bound to die; although Man Lie had sustained serious injuries, it was, after all, a level 50 boss with an attack power that remained extremely formidable. Just one or two hits, and death would be certain.
The figure of Man Lie resembled a prehistoric fierce beast, rushing swiftly towards Cold Storage! Getting closer and closer!
Just at this critical moment, something struck Man Lie in the eye. He had no choice but to close them, dodging the attack to this vulnerable spot.
The attacker was a transparent bird!
This was precisely the Falcon Huang Yi had summoned earlier. For a level 50 boss like Man Lie, his two summons wouldn’t make much difference and would only divide Huang Yi’s attention. However, under the circumstances just now, only the summons could block Man Lie!
The Falcon flew in the air, beyond the reach of Man Lie’s Trample shockwave. Huang Yi was in an Ice Barrier, but controlling the summons was no issue. He immediately directed the Falcon to hinder Man Lie, and it was surprisingly effective, buying Cold Storage some time.
By the time Man Lie regained his momentum, Cold Storage had already recovered from Dizziness, having moved far away.
A life-and-death crisis was resolved just like that. Cold Storage had saved Huang Yi once with the Ice Barrier, and Huang Yi had returned the favor.
Now, the distance between Cold Storage and Man Lie was widened again. He pointed his ice-blue sword straight at the Starry Sky, and the bright moonlight shone on his sword, reflecting a cold light. Then, huge hailstones began to condense in the air, raining down on Man Lie en masse, accompanied by a howling sound like the piercing cold wind.
Man Lie tried to charge at Cold Storage, but after being hit by the hail, he was greatly slowed down, unable to reach Cold Storage and had to endure the attack.
Finally, the 10-second Ice Barrier dissipated! Huang Yi gained his freedom and hefted his Barbaric Hammer to charge at Man Lie once more! As a melee fighter, he had to face the enemy directly, on the knife’s edge—unlike Cold Storage, who could use skills from a distance.
Man Lie seemed to have noticed Huang Yi’s approach. He turned around and brought his hammer down towards Huang Yi’s head.
Huang Yi ignored it, continuing to charge forward. In his calculation, Cold Storage’s freezing skill cooldown had ended, and the next moment, Man Lie should be frozen.
Sure enough, before Man Lie’s hammer could fall, a layer of ice had already covered him, freezing him in place, and Huang Yi swung his giant hammer down upon him.
Huang Yi and Cold Storage, though they had only known each other for one day, fought with great tacit understanding. Professionals at their level only needed to understand each other’s skills and cooldown times to coordinate well in combat, seamlessly, without reminders or rehearsals.
Huang Yi glanced at Man Lie’s Health Points, which had dropped from 5% before to 3% now, a very noticeable effect. If it were just him fighting or if he were teamed up with someone else, they wouldn’t have achieved the results they were getting now. Only a Rare Class with high attack and control like Cold Storage could fight this quickly.
At that moment, Huang Yi’s Eye of Time suddenly noticed that Man Lie was preparing to smash his hammer towards Cold Storage in 5 seconds!
This move was unprecedented! Huang Yi silently calculated the timing in his heart; if he called out too soon, Man Lie would realize it and abruptly halt such an attack, but if he called out too late, then Dugu Lengcang might not be able to avoid it in time. He had to grasp the moment just right.
The freeze lasted only for a brief moment, and soon Man Lie regained his freedom. Today proved to be extremely frustrating for him, being controlled back and forth by two players like this, with great strength at his disposal that he couldn’t put to use.
Man Lie once again swung his hammer toward Huang Yi, who was actually very fragile and would undoubtedly die with just one hit, but each time he seemed to know in advance what attack Man Lie would make, dodging with great agility just in time, neither too early nor too late.
After a short scuffle, Huang Yi remained unscathed, but Man Lie had taken quite a beating, his flesh indistinguishable from the wounds, his golden skin already turned into a bloody red, looking fierce and terrifying!
Finally, he raised his hammer once again!
At this time, Dugu Lengcang was still attacking Man Lie steadily from a distance, everything seemed so normal!
"Run!" It was at this moment that Huang Yi suddenly yelled!
No sooner had the words fallen than the giant hammer in Man Lie’s hands was hurtled towards Dugu Lengcang, fierce and fast, unstoppable, breaking apart any branches that stood in its way!
Almost in an instant, the hammer reached its target location!
Luckily, the moment Huang Yi opened his mouth to shout, Dugu Lengcang reflexively dodged. He narrowly avoided the hammer, which passed by less than ten centimeters, practically grazing his body; the force of the wind from the hammer caused his skin to sting. Any slower, and he would have been smashed to pulp!
"Ice Chain!" Just then, Dugu Lengcang sneered and swiftly drew his long sword in the direction of Man Lie’s hammer and body, sending out two strikes of Sword Qi; one hit the hammer, while the other hit Man Lie’s body.
Instantly, a thick chain of ice formed between the hammer and Man Lie, binding them together like a rice dumpling. Each of their movements was restrained by the other.
This was a skill Huang Yi had never seen before, and it must be Dugu Lengcang’s Racial Skill. A Rare Race has three Racial Skills, and this one didn’t seem to have a very grand presence, so it probably was a regular skill and not a Racial Ultimate Skill, hence it would likely last only a short time.
Huang Yi seized the moment, quickly swinging the Barbaric Hammer toward Man Lie’s body—this hammer, named after his own son, was now being used to smash into his own flesh, tearing off chunks of broken flesh!
Dugu Lengcang was also unleashing powerful attacks from a distance, both players demonstrating their utmost offensive capabilities. They maximized the infliction of damage during this precious attacking opportunity!
At last, Man Lie’s Health Points had dropped to the final 1%. After all, he was severely injured, far less capable than before, and the two players attacking him were strong Rare Class Holders, each possessing some oddly unique skills that were hard to guard against.
"Crack!" Finally, the chains on Man Lie’s body broke apart, the duration of the skill ended, and he let out a reluctant roar at both Huang Yi and Dugu Lengcang! A ring of blood-colored light then burst out from him, blocking any attacks that fell upon him.
