Absolute Destiny Game.

Chapter 498 Tactical Failure, Unsolvable Boss
"Attention everyone, I'm about to go..."

Upon hearing Xiao Jie's voice, everyone felt as if they had found a pillar of support. In the past, when facing so many crises and so many powerful bosses, this Brother Feng always had a way to win. Even a world boss like Wang Xie could be defeated in one fell swoop—although the process was a bit thrilling.

It is precisely because of this that, although everyone has suffered repeated setbacks since the start of the war, and the strength of the True Man of the Mortal World is ridiculously strong, no one has ever shown any signs of despair or discouragement.

They hadn't even considered the possibility of failure.

Everyone was waiting for Xiao Jie's solution.

Upon hearing Xiao Jie's shout, everyone immediately reacted.

"Roger that!"

"understand!"

"We're just waiting for you to make your move, Brother Feng."

Hearing his teammates' unanimous agreement, Xiao Jie no longer hesitated and moved abruptly.

The True Man of the Mortal World sent Hao Mie flying with a single palm strike. Just as he was about to give chase, a deafening tiger roar suddenly rang out from behind him.

The tiger's roar was deafening, causing him to instinctively turn around. As soon as he turned, he saw a giant, striped tiger pounce towards him, its blood-red maw snapping at his head.

Master Hongchen couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This kid was incredibly cunning and full of tricks, but his combat experience was rather ordinary. Who would roar before attacking? For ordinary people, it might embolden them, but for experts and masters, wouldn't such a roar just be a reminder that the opponent was about to attack?
He also felt the intimidating power of the tiger's roar, but what kind of person was True Man Hongchen, an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years? The terrifying effect of the tiger's roar did not manifest at all.

(Oh, so you wanted to intimidate me with a tiger's roar, but how could such a feeble roar affect me?)
In fact, even without the Tiger Roar, with the perception power of True Man Hongchen, he would have been able to sense Xiao Jie's presence before the other party got close. He just turned around a step ahead of time.

This even gave him more time to deal with the situation.

Normally, if he were caught off guard, Master Hongchen would most likely dodge and then look for an opportunity to counterattack.

But seeing the giant, striped tiger in mid-air gave him a choice—since you're courting death, then so be it.

Facing the oncoming tiger, Master Hongchen suddenly gathered his strength and unleashed a powerful palm strike.

Combat Technique - Mountain-Crushing Palm!

The rock is shaped like a reclining tiger!

The giant, striped tiger suddenly transformed into a stone statue in mid-air, and the palm struck the statue solidly.

bump!
This Crouching Tiger Stone Formation truly lived up to its reputation as a natal demonic technique; it was incredibly strong and indestructible. When the True Man of the Mortal World struck the stone statue with his palm, not only did he fail to cause any damage, but the recoil caused him to stagger backward, revealing a huge opening.

"Now!" Xiao Jie shouted.

Everyone was already on high alert, and when they saw that the True Man of the Mortal World had shown a weakness, they immediately launched a barrage of attacks.

Unfortunately, this stun time is limited and it's not a true control skill. There's no time to unleash a powerful attack, so all I can do is hurl sword energy, hidden weapons, and ordinary instant-cast spells at it all at once.

Boom! Puff! Swoosh!

The True Man of the Mortal World was instantly hit by two solid sword energies, a fireball, a flying sword, a qi blast, and a cold iron flying knife, causing his health to drop by about a thousand.

As soon as Hongchen regained his footing, the giant tiger with stripes transformed back into its human form and pounced again.

Hongchen dared not act rashly again. He did a somersault and flew over the giant tiger's head. As soon as he landed, he heard another tiger roar in front of him, and another striped giant tiger pounced on him again.

Huh? Where did this tiger come from?
He had just landed and, without thinking, instinctively struck out with his palm.

A reclining tiger in stone! I never imagined that the tiger would turn into a stone statue.

bump!
"It's now!"

Boom! Puff puff! Swoosh swoosh! Another burst of frantic concentrated fire. This time, because Hongchen reacted hastily, he did not go all out, so the shock from the recoil was not very great.

However, having gained experience from the first round, everyone controlled the timing extremely well, and in just one second, they dealt more damage than in the previous round.

This time, it reduced Hongchen Zhenren's health by more than 1,000.

Hongchen suffered two heavy blows in succession, and was shocked and furious. These injuries were not fatal to him, but the meaning behind them made him secretly fearful - the other party had seen through his pattern!

The moment this thought crossed Hongchen's mind, a shiver ran through him.

The two giant, striped tigers came from both sides, and suddenly another tiger roared from behind.

As soon as Master Hongchen turned his head, he saw another fierce tiger pouncing towards him.

"Here we go again..." Master Hongchen was both annoyed and furious, thinking to himself that this fellow had really underestimated him.

Are they going to use the same trick a third time? Where did all these tigers come from?
These three fierce tigers are: one is Xiao Jie transformed into the Mountain Lord of Zhenyue, another is his clone, and the last one is naturally the big orange tiger.

In Xiao Jie's view, given Hong Chen's speed and strength, it would be difficult to inflict effective damage through a head-on attack. The opponent could easily use his speed advantage to hit and run, making it almost impossible to achieve a forceful control effect.

However, if you bluff and force your opponent to use their ultimate move, then use the Crouching Tiger Stone Form for defense, you can use the counter-force to expose their weakness.

It worked as expected once it was used.

Just as another tiger was pouncing, Master Hongchen slapped Daju with his palm.

The rock is shaped like a reclining tiger!

However, just as the palm strike landed, Master Hongchen suddenly pulled his hand back, and the force of the strike was pulled back into his body. Just as the moment Da Ju's Crouching Tiger Stone Form ended, he suddenly unleashed another palm strike.

The internal force that had been withdrawn earlier was mixed with the internal force of this palm strike, forming a powerful palm strike that was charged twice.

Combat Technique - Mountain-Crushing Palm: Heaven-Returning Style!
boom!
The powerful palm strike landed squarely on the top of Da Ju's head.

The giant orange cat let out a miserable howl as its health bar was instantly halved. At the same time, it was struck by three debuffs: dizziness, bone shattering, and decreased intelligence. It lost all ability to attack and staggered away.

When the True Man of the Mortal World struck with his palm, he immediately dodged, easily avoiding the third round of concentrated fire from the crowd.

Xiao Jie saw it clearly and sighed inwardly. It was a pity that his trick had been seen through so quickly.

I originally thought I could use the momentum of the battle to launch a three-hit combo.

Even considering the previous damage, we've only managed to take down about 3,000 of Hongchen's health, which is a real shame. The physical control effect is simply too short-lived; there wasn't enough time for everyone to focus their attacks and unleash their ultimate abilities.

That's not bad, though. Hongchen Zhenren has over 8,000 HP, and he's already lost a third of it. A few more rounds of crowd control will finish him off.

Since taking it by trickery won't work, let's attack it head-on.

Since physical control doesn't work, let's try magical effects.

Black Fiend Wind Control Technique!
With a roar, Xiao Jie unleashed a black whirlwind that swept towards True Man Hongchen. However, his clone did not follow suit. Instead, it transformed back into human form and cast an Earth Binding Technique. Xiao Jie secretly praised the clone for its intelligence and cooperative nature. The control effects of the same spell cannot be stacked, but continuous spells can.

Earthbinding Technique can slow down the speed of the mortal realm, and if the whirlwind summoned by Black Fiend Wind Control Technique hits, it can even cause the enemy to float in the air.

If it works, we can unleash another wave of concentrated fire.

After using the Black Fiend Wind Control Technique, Xiao Jie immediately launched a deadly flying pounce, preparing to follow up with control and damage.

However, the True Man of the Mortal World completely ignored the effects of the Earth Binding Technique, remaining unaffected and leaping into the air, thus passing over the black whirlwind.

In an instant, it flew to Xiao Jie's head and stomped down the giant tiger that was leaping into the air.

Xiao Jie fell to the ground, and before he could turn around, he heard the screams of his clone behind him.

The clone had too low health and was instantly killed by True Immortal Hongchen in two moves.

Without hesitation, Xiao Jie turned around and launched another attack.

Tiger Claw Strike!

A hungry tiger pounces on its food!

A deadly pounce!
The True Man of the Mortal World dodged and weaved through Xiao Jie's attacks as if strolling in a garden, without feeling any effort at all.

When Xiao Jie finished using his moves, he delivered a powerful punch followed by a Cloud-Turning Palm, which sent the massive body of Zhenyue Mountain Lord flying.

So strong!

Xiao Jie got up from the ground, secretly shocked. Although he could feel the opponent's strength by watching his teammates fight him, he could only feel the huge advantage brought by the extreme speed and power when he fought him himself.

Completely different from magic-based bosses like Wang Xie who rely entirely on powerful ultimate moves, its attacks are simple yet deadly.

At this point, Da Ju had recovered and charged forward again, but was immediately knocked away once more. Then An Ran and I, Yu Chengxian, took turns taking over, but we only managed to hold out for less than fifteen seconds.

"Control, activate control!" Xiao Jie commanded while considering whether to transform or simply gamble with the Dream Bubble.

Meanwhile, his teammates had already unleashed a variety of control spells.

Supernatural power—to suppress evil spirits!
The True Man of the Mortal World laughed heartily, "I am neither a demon nor an evil spirit. Your attempt to use such magic against me is utterly foolish." He completely ignored him.

The Five Elements Mystic Method – A Dance of Thorns!
"How could mere vines possibly keep up with my pace?" He dodged in a flash.

Sorcery—Mud Entanglement! A flash of spiritual light appeared on the body of the True Man of the Mortal World, directly absorbing his essence.

Ghostly Curse - Soul-Binding Technique!

A chain suddenly swung at True Man Hongchen, but he didn't care at all. With a light shake, he cut the chain in two.

"Hahaha, how could your methods possibly harm me?"

Xiao Jie frowned as he watched. It seemed that ordinary control spells were useless against Hongchen. Not to mention that the Ghost Curse and Divine Power couldn't do anything to the eccentric Hongchen Zhenren, even Taoist and demonic arts were greatly reduced in effectiveness, as they were easily dispersed by the protective spiritual energy on his body. However, the Peerless Hero had controlled him before, which showed that powerful control spells were still effective.

They still have some truly powerful control skills at their disposal, such as the Light-Stabilizing Pearl, the Yin-Yang Soul-Suppressing Mirror, and the Dreamy Bubble, which can control the target at least three times.

However, the Light-Stabilizing Pearl controls the entire group, regardless of friend or foe, so it seems I can only rely on myself.

Stab the enemy once, then unleash a burst of damage. After two rounds, that should be enough.

"Everyone get ready, I'm going to freeze him for a bit, everyone get ready to unleash a barrage of attacks, this time with our ultimate abilities!"

Yin-Yang Soul-Suppressing Mirror - Thunderous Divine Light!
A golden light shone on True Man Hongchen, who immediately froze in place.

This thing can even kill world bosses, and even though True Immortal Hongchen has spiritual energy protecting him, he is not immune to it.

It's now!

Ultimate Technique - Ninefold Heavenly Assault: Divine Edge Descends!

Ultimate Technique - Bloodbath!
The ultimate technique—Primordial Chaos Shatters Mountains and Rivers!

Sword control technique...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions rang out one after another.

This time, a massive amount of damage was finally dealt, and Master Hongchen's health dropped rapidly at a visible speed.

This time was different from before; they were all powerful ultimate techniques. Even though True Immortal Hongchen had high defense and was impervious to swords and spears, he still lost more than 3,000 health points in an instant.

Good job!
Seeing that they had less than 3,000 health points left, everyone was overjoyed.

Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. With this, as long as Dream Bubble unleashed its final burst of fire, the game would be in the bag.

The True Man of the Mortal World, covered in blood, stood up and leaped out of the circle several times. He was both disheveled and furious. "You...you think you can kill me like this? You are overestimating yourselves. You forced me to this, so I will show you the power of this Qi Refining Secret Technique."

Qi Refining Secret Techniques - Qi Healing Techniques!

His body was instantly filled with white light, his wounds healed rapidly, and his originally pale face quickly regained its color.

The health points increased at a visible speed, recovering to two thousand in the blink of an eye. The True Man of the Mortal World seemed to be intentionally conserving spiritual energy, interrupting the spell before the health points were fully restored, but still managing to restore the health points to more than half.

True Man of the Mortal World (Ancient Qi Refiner) Health Points: 4795/8752!

Everyone was stunned. Holy crap! What the hell is this? The BOSS can actually heal itself? What's the point of fighting it?
