Chapter 973 - 555: The Boxer Sect’s Certain Someone, Fancy Beating of the Flame Demon

They can often inflict far greater damage on the Flame Demon Boss in their respective areas than ordinary lords.

A powerful lord essentially corresponds to the attack efficiency of dozens or even hundreds of ordinary lords.

As for Zong Shen, he is an abnormality among powerful lords.

The effects caused by his gemstone battle strategy yesterday were truly extraordinary.

The magic gemstones he consumed are invaluable to any lord.

That’s why he was able to eliminate the Flame Demon Boss in just three or four hours.

As a result, he received a global announcement through a golden banner.

The appearance of the banner signified his performance in killing the Flame Demon Boss yesterday.

It constituted a breakthrough behavior.

Today, although he is subject to certain limitations, he still has ways to cope.

That is the "Cruel Blood-Burning Arrow (Purple)."

Actually, even without the blood-burning arrow, he can choose a phased intervention with brute force.

This means attacking for one or two hours, then resting for one or two hours.

Engaging in battle intermittently at a fixed frequency.

Overall, he can at least eliminate 20% to 30% of the Flame Demon Boss’s Life Value.

The remaining portion of Life Value will be left to other lords in the area to handle.

With that comparison, the difficulty level of killing in this region dropped.

At least it assures the Flame Demon Boss in this region can be smoothly eliminated.

Zong Shen will also earn considerable points.

However, this inevitably requires far more effort.

Unlike yesterday’s Frost Gem Battle Technique which was so simple and direct.

After solving the "Water Storage" issue.

Zong Shen rode the Flying Tiger directly to the top of the Flame Demon Boss.

He planned to unleash the "Water Storage" skill recklessly above its head, before the Flame Demon Boss entered the attack state.

Below, the Strength Demon Guards and Pandragon Loyal Guards he previously summoned had already exceeded their existence time.

They had disappeared.

Zong Shen could unleash "Water Storage" without any hesitation.

He took out the "Condensed Water Treasure Pearl (Purple)," allowing the Flying Tiger to hover sideways.

This move was not difficult for it.

The sky is the home ground for the Flying Tiger.

And all Zong Shen had to do was extend his arm and choose to release it.

Suddenly, his hand was like a fire hydrant with a broken valve, spraying out a massive stream of water.

When this water flow first burst out, it was only as thick as a waist.

By the time it splashed onto the Flame Demon’s head, it had already turned into a water curtain over ten meters wide.

It was like a small waterfall, washing over the Flame Demon from head to toe.

As the Flame Demon Boss itself was a heat source filled with fire elements.

When suddenly drenched with water, it immediately sizzled and crackled.

The lake water absorbed heat and evaporated into steam.

Unlike the previous "Water Storage" which was released from the outside to the inside.

This time, fifty tons of water were dumped all at once from its head.

The momentum was grander than before.

The water flowed heavily down, and the rising steam was re-irrigated.

Directly cooling the Flame Demon Boss thoroughly.

The burning sound of sizzling was incessant.

It even overshadowed the sounds of attacks launched by lords from other directions.

A large amount of steam was evaporated, directly filling the range of several hundred meters nearby.

This steam is somewhat scalding.

Having absorbed the Flame Demon Boss’s heat.

After the steam engine appeared on Earth, every pressure release required the dispersal of surrounding idle personnel.

Because that scalding steam could instantly cook people.

The current scene proved the power of steam once again.

This steam spread unexpectedly, causing surrounding lords to frantically retreat backward.

The attacks on-site unexpectedly came to a halt.

Meanwhile, the fifty tons of lake water poured down also caused some damage to the Flame Demon Boss.

However, the damage value wasn’t considered too high.

In terms of its physical impact, the transformation seemed greater than the damage value itself.

The nearby lava cracks again showed signs of solidifying.

Even the Flame Demon Boss’s body was likewise affected.

The scorching fire element lost its heat, solidifying into black volcanic rock.

After the lake water irrigation was completed, the Flame Demon Boss’s body seemed to be coated with a layer of black stone armor.

This layer of "stone shell" insulated the heat emanating from its body.

This situation will gradually recover over time.

Like before, lasting about ten minutes.

Zong Shen specifically used "Water Storage" for these ten minutes.

Only isolating the high temperature on the Flame Demon allows him to carry out close-quarter attacks.

Unfortunately, cavalry still cannot play a role under these circumstances.

Even when the surrounding lava begins to cool down.

Yet the terrain surrounding the Flame Demon Boss, centered around dozens of meters, has undergone noticeable transformations.

The terrain is very rugged, with a drop most evident in places, leading to five- or six-meter-deep depressions.

All around the Flame Demon are pits and chasms.

The cavalry finds it challenging to launch a charge smoothly.

If this wasn’t the case, Zong Shen would certainly have brought over the Lion Knights.

And initiated several rounds of charge offensives against the Flame Demon Boss.

For this reason, he didn’t bring the Lion Knights this time, not even the Skeleton Knights.

The accompanying Wolf Cavalry and Immortal Gun Cavalry are just emergency mobile patrols.

To prevent the main output Mages and ranged warriors from being ambushed.

Cavalry is rendered useless, whereas Infantry Warriors still have a chance to approach.

But some issues persist.

Unless the Infantry Warriors were as powerful and agile as Zong Shen.
