Chapter 486: Chapter 486: The Final Blow

Lu Mingyuan watched as Song Jian and the Xuanjin Ant-Eating Beast Boss fought only for a few rounds before falling into a disadvantageous position, with their Vitality Points dropping to less than half. He couldn’t help but tremble in fear, and was already prepared to flee. Even the fireball he had been gathering in his hand for so long dissipated directly.

Song Jian’s heart raced as he faced the Xuanjin Ant-Eating Beast, which already had an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength. Its attack and defense was extremely strong, and he knew if he was caught in the enemy’s mouth with his current vitality, he would surely be defeated in an instant.

Seeing the two Flame Elementals constantly spouting flames and scorching the Ant-Eating Beast Boss’s long tongue, Song Jian gritted his teeth and issued a command for the Flame Elementals to self-destruct.

Boom, boom!

As they lacked intelligence, the Flame Elementals only listened to Song Jian’s command. After he ordered them to self-destruct, the two Flame Elementals didn’t hesitate to charge at the Ant-Eater Beast Boss’s long tongue and exploded directly.

The intense explosion caused the ground to tremble endlessly. Within a radius of ten meters, it appeared as if a meteorite had struck, breaking all the trees. The dense fire elements rampaged fiercely, and almost all the trees were set ablaze.

A mushroom cloud rose in the sky, and the scorching flames almost lit up half of the sky.

The Xuanjin Ant-Eating Beast let out a painful scream, and half of its tongue already lost sensation. Song Jian’s eyes flickered, and with a wave of his right hand, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword flew back into his palm with a spin.

Flash Thunder Strike!

Song Jian slashed at the long tongue coiled around his right leg. At this moment, the tongue had lost its original flexibility and toughness, and had mostly turned black, losing its vitality. It was like a weathered oxhide.

Whoosh!

The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword easily cut off a section of the blackened tongue, revealing a touch of deep red at the very center.

After freeing his right leg from the blackened long tongue, Song Jian threw it aside and glanced back at Lu Mingyuan. He didn’t say a word as he took an Advanced Healing Potion from his bag and gulped it down before rushing towards the Xuanjin Ant-Eating Beast, which was constantly shaking its head.

With a single thought, Song Jian’s running figure suddenly blurred and, in the blink of an eye, split into two identical shadows charged at the Ant-Eating Beast.

Song Jian felt a peculiar sensation as he was somehow able to control both bodies simultaneously, as easily as lifting a finger. There was no delay in issuing commands; he just needed a single thought to control the Abyssal Phantom, as if it were simply an extension of his own body.

Without its long tongue, the Xuanjin Ant-Eating Beast Boss lost its mid to long-range attack capabilities. All it could do was rely on its sharp fangs and claws on its forelimbs to battle Song Jian.

The two identical Song Jians continuously attacked the Xuanjin Ant-Eating Beast, leaving the Beast Boss unable to discern which was the real body and which was the phantom.

The Xuanjin Ant-Eating Beast’s Vitality Points kept dropping, and in a short while, its Vitality Points plummeted below 50%. At this time, Lu Mingyuan finally rejoined the fight, with a swirling flame spreading out beneath the Boss’s feet within a radius of five to six meters.

Song Jian was startled and hesitated for a moment, missing the perfect angle to attack the Xuanjin Ant-Eating Beast’s neck with his sword.

However, he quickly realized that the flames at his feet didn’t cause him any damage, and he felt relieved. It seemed that forming an alliance with Lu Mingyuan beforehand was the right choice, as teammates were immune to each other’s damage during battle.

The Ant-Eating Beast stomped the ground within the flames, sending a wave of air outward. Song Jian lost his balance and fell to the ground with over a thousand points of damage floating above his head.

Almost two thousand damage points floated above the Abyssal Phantom, causing its figure to disappear like a bubble with a “puff” sound.

The Ant-Eating Beast Boss leaped up once again, this time reaching a height of three to four meters in the air. Its massive body was like a meteor, charging towards Song Jian.

Aerial Strike!

If this attack landed, Song Jian’s recently restored Vitality Points would likely plummet again, entering a near-death state, or even be instantly killed.

Song Jian’s pupils contracted as he activated his Immortal Sword Body state. He raised his sword high and suddenly leaped towards the Ant-Eater Beast’s abdomen.

At this moment, Lu Mingyuan’s fireballs also struck, but the Ant-Eating Beast seemed to have entered a Tyrant Body State. Dozens of fireballs struck its body, causing less than three hundred points of damage.

Light Strike!

Brilliant golden Sword Qi erupted, forming a beam of light that shot towards the Ant-Eating Beast Boss’s abdomen.

The Ant-Eating Beast Boss felt a tingling sensation in its belly, as if it was being propped up by something. Its enormous weight, combined with the additional power from its skill, made it descend rapidly. This also meant that if there was an indestructible object beneath it, the backlash damage would be immense.

At first, the Beast Boss didn’t feel anything due to the skill, but it soon felt as if a burning iron rod had penetrated its abdomen, breaking through its scales and burrowing into its body.

“Bang!”

With a loud shout, Song Jian’s Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword shone brightly as it fiercely slashed at the Ant-Eating Beast’s stomach. The sword easily pierced the Ant-Eating Beast’s abdominal scales, tearing through its defenses. The Beast felt an intense tearing pain in its abdomen, causing its huge body to lose balance in mid-air and tumble down.

Boom!

The Ant-Eating Beast Boss fell from the sky, crashing through five or six large trees before coming to a stop. Copious amounts of blood gushed from its stomach, and even pieces of its internal organs spilled out of the wound. The rich scent of blood filled the surrounding area for several meters.

Song Jian’s eyes widened in disbelief. Even if his attack was powerful, it should not have caused such devastating injuries to the Ant-Eating Beast Boss!

As they saw the Ant-Eating Beast Boss’s Vitality Points rapidly depleting, Lu Mingyuan’s eyes lit up. He tightly grasped his Magic Staff and began to chant spells. Magical energy surged wildly towards him, and even Song Jian noticed the abnormal fluctuations in the air.

Watching Lu Mingyuan’s actions, Song Jian’s mouth curled into a cold smirk. It seemed like this guy wanted to snatch the final blow on the Boss.

A level 30 Boss would grant massive experience points, and the players who scored the first and last blow would receive a large amount of experience.

Song Jian stomped his right foot hard, sending a fang-shaped Qi cluster at the struggling Ant-Eating Beast Boss. Transforming into a shadow, he rushed towards the Beast Boss, aiming to kill it before Lu Mingyuan could intervene.
