NOVEL WEB Chapter 229 - Indeed a Familiar Taste
“Grand Commander is mighty!”
“Grand Commander is unrivaled in the world!”
Over 5,000 Demon Fiend soldiers waved their weapons and shouted loud slogans, cheering for the Blood Fiend Grand Commander.
In contrast, on Ginkgo Village’s side, a barrage of doubts arose.
“Letting a single skeleton face the Boss? What is A Silly Cutie thinking? Does she think this Black Skeleton has ascended to godhood?”
“Has she gone crazy? The Boss has 800 attack power and that abnormal skill Blood Fiend Grip. This Black Skeleton is going to be instantly killed by the Boss!”
The players here voiced a flurry of doubts, but they couldn’t affect any of Jiang Cheng’s decisions.
“Halt.”
Jiang Cheng stood on the hilltop and shot three arrows at the Blood Fiend Grand Commander.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
The arrows pierced into the gray soil where the Blood Fiend Grand Commander was about to step, sinking over five inches into the ground.
The arrow shafts continued to vibrate, emitting a buzzing sound.
The Blood Fiend Grand Commander’s entire body shuddered. He hurriedly stopped his footsteps, hastily withdrew his right foot, and looked up at Jiang Cheng on the hilltop.
Icy cold, chilling, his whole body shrouded in a black aura, exuding an ominous air.
The blazing white dots in his eye sockets were enveloped by dark flames, revealing a hint of extraordinariness.
The black and white cloak on his back fluttered in the breeze, occasionally revealing unknown patterns, adding a touch of mystery.
In particular, the Blood Fiend Grand Commander discovered that this Black Skeleton’s right arm, right foot, and skull seemed to faintly possess a kind of mysterious power.
What made him even more perplexed was that this Black Skeleton always gave him an especially familiar feeling, causing his heart to turn slightly cold.
However, the Blood Fiend Grand Commander didn’t take it to heart. He was very confident in his strength.
Moreover, he had to advance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to stand firm before the Demon Fiend Commander in the future.
“A mere lowly skeleton dares to intimidate this Commander?”
As fellow undead, he could understand Jiang Cheng’s language. So when he heard Jiang Cheng say “halt,” he felt insulted.
A lowly skeleton dared to tell him to halt. Did it think it was a Blood Skeleton?
“Lowly skeleton?”
Jiang Cheng laughed in self-mockery. Then his eyes focused, activating the Eyes of Faith from the Observing Eyes of Black Ice.
Instantly, an icy gaze as sharp as a sword seemed to pierce through the Blood Fiend Grand Commander’s soul, causing his entire body to quake.
“-20.”
“-230.”
The Blood Fiend Grand Commander’s magic defense was very high. The damage bonus from the Eyes of Faith’s magic attack power wasn’t high, only dealing 100+30% damage, taking away 20 HP.
But among Jiang Cheng’s four talents, the innate ice attribute damage was triggered, instantly reducing his HP by 230.
The Eyes of Faith also reduced the target’s attack speed by 10%.
However… this bit of HP loss and slowdown wasn’t an issue for the Blood Fiend Grand Commander.
He just felt this scene was a bit familiar.
Last time when the Blood Skeleton attacked his Blood Fiend Castle, he intentionally hid on the castle and secretly watched the Blood Skeleton’s methods.
He knew its favorite move was to shoot three arrows simultaneously, connecting a chain scythe.
Then it would use the chain scythe to quickly approach the opponent, transform it into a longsword, and slash down, instantly wiping out a large area!
The Blood Fiend Grand Commander stared at the three arrows on the ground for a long time without saying a word.
He strongly suspected that the next moment, these three arrows would turn into a blood-colored scythe and slash towards him!
Then next, it would definitely summon Blood Raven, Elite Tomb-Guarding Archer, Blood Hell Frenzied Demon Guard, imposing countless negative states on him!
Finally, it would use Blood Hell Grip to strangle him!
And in fact, it was indeed so.
After Jiang Cheng’s Eyes of Faith was released, he didn’t waste words. He directly transformed the three arrows on the ground into a black ice scythe.
*Clink.*
The chain scythe emitted a light sound. Then Jiang Cheng fiercely flicked it up from the ground.
*Whoosh!*
The clear cry of a scythe rang out. Soil flew up, scattering in all directions.
The instant the flames in the Blood Fiend Grand Commander’s eye sockets trembled nonstop…
A black blade flash slashed across.
Then, a flood of information poured out.
[You have been shattered by the Frost Void effect. Armor reduced by 50 points for 3 seconds.]
“-21197!”
Ice attribute damage.
“-230.”
Secondary weapon slicing effect triggered.
“-120.”
Jiang Cheng’s total attack power had now reached 2,780. With various data stacked…
Once it critically hit, it would be 5 times the damage. Plus Dark Intimidation doubling it, it would be 10 times!
Although the Blood Fiend Grand Commander’s defense was as high as 750, the damage values hitting his body still shocked everyone!
Then, this slash also triggered the afterimage effect of Gale Phantom Break!
“-6057!”
The afterimage effect triggered Frost Disaster!
*Boom!*
A large expanse of frost exploded under the Blood Fiend Grand Commander’s feet.
“-6352!”
*Hmm!*
The black ice chain scythe suddenly let out a mournful cry.
The attack power of the Frost Disaster effect triggered the Frost Wail effect!
Tearing damage popped up.
“-1109!”
“-1109!”
[You have been slowed. Movement speed reduced by 30%.]
[You have been confused. Enter a confused state for 3 seconds, unable to distinguish between friend and foe.]
The attack power of the Frost Disaster effect also triggered Darkness!
[You have been afflicted with Darkness. Lose 30 meters of vision range.]
In an instant, the Blood Fiend Grand Commander was hit with seven or eight negative states. Various damage numbers popped up above his head.
Especially the confusion effect made him unable to distinguish between friend and foe.
But there were no enemies around, so he could only wildly swing his sword on the spot, slashing at the ground, letting out bursts of roars!
For a moment, the scene was quite awkward, leaving the Demon Fiend soldiers and all the players speechless.
“What is this Boss doing? Blindly slashing around?”
“Maybe… he suddenly felt he was an orphan and started contemplating life? Who knows?”
“Could this be the long-lost supreme sword art, Blind Slashing Sword Technique?”
While countless people were left dumbfounded, not understanding what was happening, Jiang Cheng wasn’t idle.
He successively summoned Blood Raven, Elite Tomb-Guarding Archer, and Black Fiend Soul-Shocking Commander.
Shockwave Arrow!
Armor-Piercing Arrow!
Arrow Shadow Sky Strike!
Destructive Arrow!
Three arrows of different colors, along with 18 fatal arrows, rapidly flew towards him.
*Pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew…*
The dazed Blood Fiend Grand Commander was pierced by 21 arrows.
“-1.”
“-1.”
“-1.”
“-2136!”
“-2136!”
“-2136!”
……
[You have been armor-pierced. Defense reduced by 50 points.]
[You have been shocked. Stunned for 0.5 seconds every second for 3 seconds.]
[You have been hit by Destructive Arrow. Explode after one second, range 3*3 meters.]
[You have been afflicted with Blood Raven’s Blood Devour effect. Attack and defense reduced by 6%.]
When the Blood Fiend Grand Commander had just woken up from the confusion effect, he already had over a dozen negative states above his head. His skeletal face looked extremely unsightly.
He finally knew who was opposite him!
It was that damned Blood Skeleton!
The one who annihilated the Black Fiend Castle, exterminated the Blood Fiend Castle, the Blood Skeleton that made him tremble at the mere mention!
Why, why was this Blood Skeleton here?
Big bro, you evolved. At least give me a heads-up!
In an instant, countless thoughts surged in the Blood Fiend Grand Commander’s mind.
But before he could react, as Jiang Cheng’s three arrows shot into his head, chest, and abdomen…
“-23176!”
“-23176!”
“-23176!”
This volley of three arrows almost fully triggered all the effects Jiang Cheng could activate!
In a flash, a new round of negative states all popped up.
Critical Strike Stun!
[You have been stunned for 0.2 seconds and taken 126 damage.]
Frost Soul triggered, Sluggish Freeze effect!
[You have been afflicted with Frost Soul Sluggish effect. Attack and movement speed reduced by 30%. Frozen once every 0.5 seconds for 3 seconds, lasting 3 seconds.]
Frost Disaster effect!
Afterimage effect!
Triggered Divine Wind Hands’ three attacks!
The next moment, the three attacks triggered the Frost Disaster and Frost Soul effects again.
Confusion, Freeze, Tear, Slowdown!
After another round of 3-second confusion ended…
The Blood Fiend Grand Commander finally stopped that embarrassing sword-swinging.
His entire body had already turned blue!
Having just recovered from the confused state, the flames in his eye sockets trembled.
“Fuck! Indeed a familiar taste!”
“All Demon Fiend soldiers, hear my order. All troops retreat 50,000 meters. Never enter Ginkgo Village in this lifetime!”
*Whoosh!*
Blood Escape flashed.
In the astonished instant of countless people…
The overbearing Blood Fiend Grand Commander who brought over 5,000 Demon Fiend soldiers to massacre the village…
The one who made all players tremble in fear…
Just like that, he fled in a sorry state before everyone’s eyes… Fled…
