Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 73 The Final Slaying of the Demon King
Su Yu dodged the pillar of energy to the left and unleashed a flurry of sword strikes at the BOSS.

However, at this point, the White Ape King's defense was already ridiculously high; even with 4,000 attack power plus armor penetration +5, it still couldn't break through his defense.

"I can't fight!"

Without hesitation, he turned and ran, shouting the order:

"Everyone abandon the fight and stay away from the BOSS."

"The BOSS's move definitely can't last. Let's talk about it after it's over."

Fortunately, everyone had already retreated when the White Ape King transformed, so they immediately turned around and quickly created distance.

After transforming, the White Ape King's physical strength increases dramatically, and he can fly, leaping into the sky like a cannonball. However, his agility is greatly reduced, and he moves straight like a cannonball, making it difficult to catch agile players.

The group quickly created distance and dodged nimbly, making it impossible for the demon king to catch up despite his frantic pursuit.

After several minutes of this back and forth without any results, the White Ape Demon King suddenly stopped, opened his mouth and spat out a large amount of demon souls that he had just swallowed. His size visibly shrank, and he quickly returned to his original size of about 80 meters.

At this moment, the Demon King's agility increased significantly. With a few twists and turns in the air, he caught up with one person and smashed him and his treasure together with a single palm strike.

"Reassemble!"

Su Yu stood on Ao Run's back and charged towards the Demon King, urging her twin swords to entangle him from afar, immediately attracting the Demon King's attention and causing him to counterattack.

"on!"

He patted Ao Run's head, which was as clear as jade dragon horns, and then soared into the air and hovered in mid-air. Ao Run sprayed a cold wave from afar, which attracted the attention of the demon king, who rushed over. The ape and the dragon instantly became a melee again.

Without the aid of any treasure, the White Ape King was still slightly stronger than Ao Run, but only by a limited margin, and could no longer completely overwhelm him as before.

Even when Ao Run coiled the White Ape King with its snake again, it took a great deal of effort for the ape to break free.

"boom!"

"boom!"

One dull, resounding hammering sound after another echoed through the air as the White Ape King's massive fist slammed down, shattering the jade-green dragon scales and sending dragon blood seeping out and flying.

The blood-covered dragon body twisted and wrapped around the white ape king's arm, opened its mouth and bit down hard, and a continuous stream of icy cold air spewed out from its mouth, quickly freezing the ape arm as long as a mountain.

With a jolt of its arm, the ice shattered and flew away. The ape king tried to shake off the ice with its arm but could not, so it used its other arm to press down on the dragon's head and fell directly from the sky into the two peaks of the mountains.

"Boom!"
-
520000-
210000
Two extremely terrifying damages rose from the flying debris, and an invisible shockwave blasted away the smoke and dust. The White Ape King climbed out of the pit, opened his mouth to reveal his fangs, and bit down hard on Ao Run's back and neck. Immediately, a terrifying damage of up to 110,000 surged up, and continued to jump out with tens of thousands of damages every second.

"beat!"

Su Yu's enormous voice echoed through the heavens and earth, but he did not make a move. Instead, he flew above the battle between the ape and the dragon, pressed his hand to activate the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, and a blue crack opened, from which surging spiritual water from the Sea-Suppressing Pearl poured out.

This demon king is too high-level. Not only is its defense extremely strong, but it also knows Taoist magic. Ao Run is not on his home turf and can only exert half of his strength at most. He is no match for it at all.

Ao Run is the main tank in this battle, and we absolutely cannot let her die.

To ensure she has sufficient combat power, we need to create a favorable environment for her.

Unlike before, when water vapor slowly condenses in the Zhenhai Pearl, this time a channel is directly opened to pour out the water from the newly opened space inside the Zhenhai Pearl.

The spiritual water, brimming with spiritual energy, flowed out from the ten-meter-wide crack, transforming into a waterfall that cascaded down from the sky and crashed onto the battling white ape and dragon.

Feeling the extremely rich spiritual energy inside, especially the trace of innate energy contained within, both were stunned. The White Ape King immediately opened his mouth to catch the water, but how could he compare to the water control power of the dragon? Ao Run opened her mouth and inhaled sharply, causing the water column falling from the sky to deflect and enter her mouth directly. The White Ape King did not manage to grab a single drop.

As Ao Run swallowed a large amount of spiritual water, his blood volume instantly increased, becoming visibly erect.

Upon seeing this, the White Ape King immediately swung his fist and smashed open the dragon's head, then opened his mouth and went to drink the water.

Ao Run naturally wouldn't stand for it, and slapped the white ape across the face with his tail, knocking it off balance and leaving a long red mark.

The ape and the dragon started fighting again, but this time the fight wasn't as intense as before. They were both busy fighting for water, leaving Su Yu, who was releasing water from above, dumbfounded.

"No, you're not fighting anymore?"

By this time, everyone else had arrived and unleashed their magical weapons, bombarding the White Ape King.

Su Yu also raised his twin swords and slashed down, repeatedly striking behind the White Ape King.

In the battle for water between the ape and the dragon, the dragon, with its innate talent for controlling water, gained an absolute advantage. With a single breath, it could easily swallow most of the spiritual water, and the excess water fell and formed a swamp around it.

Although the marshland is not large and the water is not plentiful, it is indeed the dragon's home ground, where it can gather the essence of Gui water to nourish its wounds and speed up its recovery.

With the advantage of playing on home turf, Jiaolong fought with increasing ferocity. With the combined attack of the crowd and Su Yu's support, he actually managed to fight the White Ape King to a standstill.

Because of her interference, the White Ape King didn't even have time to deal with the numerous ants in the air.

As time went on, the White Ape King's health continued to decrease, and his aura gradually weakened.

On the other hand, as more and more spiritual water fell, forming a swamp twenty or thirty meters deep in these valleys, Ao Run's home-field advantage grew stronger.

When the spiritual water gathered to a certain extent, Ao Run raised his head and let out a long roar:

"The Dragon-Walking Technique!"

His innate supernatural power stirred the earth, causing violent tremors and cracks in many places, from which turbid groundwater gushed out, forming a torrent that rapidly expanded the swampy area.

The earth was shattered by their immense force, mixing with water to form mud, and in this environment, Ao Run's strength increased even further.

With Su Yu's cooperation, they actually began to suppress the White Ape King.

Seeing himself in dire straits, the White Ape King once again took out the treasure banner to activate it, but Su Yu, whose attention was always on the Demon King, immediately took out the Mystic Mirror and looked at it. The Demon King stopped, and Ao Run reacted very quickly, smashing the treasure banner away with his tail.

It wanted to take back the banner, but Ao Run held it down firmly.

A flash of sword light swept past, lifting the precious banner into the air. It landed in Su Yu's hand, and after glancing at it, his eyes lit up. He quickly put it away.

"Roar!"

The Demon King's roar was still as loud as ever, but everyone could hear the weakness and fear in his voice.

The lone White Ape Demon King was no match for the four opponents. After being entangled by Ao Run, he was surrounded and attacked. After holding out for almost half an hour, he was finally killed when Ao Run bit through his neck.

As soon as the BOSS died, a surge of warm current rushed into my body.

Su Yu checked the notification panel and her face lit up with joy:
"Prompt: You and your spirit pet have killed the White Ape Demon King (Terrifying), dealing the vast majority of the damage and gaining a total of 520 million kill experience and 140 points of cultivation."

"Note: Due to unknown factors, you have gained 1140 million kill experience points and 280 points of Taoist cultivation."

There are many similar tips and tricks on this topic.

Su Yu glanced at the results and found that he had gained a total of 4260 million kill experience points and 860 cultivation points from this battle, which was quite a great harvest.

With the death of the White Ape Demon King, a total of eight spoils of war were obtained, which Su Yu promptly collected.

The corpse wasn't wasted; Gu Zhi Qiu kept it, as it could be used to refine Gu or ghost blood for consumption.

Looking at Ao Run resting in the water, Gu Zhi Qiu sighed with some emotion:

"Luckily, we also have a big boss to hold us back, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have been able to kill this White Ape Demon King."

Su Yu nodded in agreement.

A boss of this level is indeed beyond the capabilities of a team like theirs, which doesn't even have any scattered immortals. If Ao Run hadn't been entangled, the White Ape Demon King could have easily wiped out a whole group with a few demonic lightning bolts and lightning nets.

Su Yu flew to Ao Run's side and immediately stood up, pointing at her wounds with her two claws and deliberately picking at the broken dragon scales. Two tears the size of washbasins were forced out of her eyes, making her look like she was in great pain and felt wronged.

Su Yu patted her head affectionately and nodded:
"Okay, you can stay here for a while."

With a wave of his hand, he created a blue portal the size of a head, and Ao Run immediately shrank to the thickness of an arm and crawled inside.

"Hey, don't eat all the fish inside."

The next second, he sensed her joyfully chasing after the colorful spirit fish inside, and shook his head with a smile.

Let her eat it. Anyway, this thing has the innate water spirit that can continuously generate more. As the innate water spirit gets stronger, the generation speed will get faster and faster, and then we won't have to worry about her eating it all in a few bites.

At this moment, Wei Xia and the others had already landed beside him, all looking at him with joy.

Su Yu smiled and said:

"Let's go divide the spoils."

The group flew towards the Demon King's Palace above the Demon Village, where many of the Third Regiment's subordinates were looting the Demon Village.

The demon stronghold's barracks, the demon king's palace, and the warehouses are filled with a large amount of materials and spirit ores. Most of these things were created when the demon stronghold was born and have gradually increased over time.

Therefore, if such a demon stronghold is not destroyed for a long time, not only will its strength gradually increase, but the resources it accumulates will also increase.

Additionally, if a demon stronghold is destroyed and its location is not occupied by a player, it will respawn after a period of time.

However, if the Demon Village is occupied by a player, it will not respawn.

There's a cave beneath this demon stronghold, which must contain a spiritual vein. It's a valuable resource, and we definitely need to take it over as a resource point for the Third Brigade.

The group gathered in the main hall of the Demon King's Palace. Su Yu placed all the spoils of war on the ground, including the two high-level magic treasures, and looked up at Wei Xia, saying:

"As per our previous agreement, all items dropped by monsters and materials in the warehouse belong to us. We will take care of the inventory ourselves."

"In addition, there is a cave in this place with a spiritual vein inside. Our three teams plan to occupy it as a resource point."

He looked at Wei Xia and asked:
"Is there a problem with this?"

Wei Xia shook his head and said:
“No problem, even if I were given the cave dwelling, it wouldn’t be big enough.”

Su Yu nodded and continued:
"The Demon King, the three Demon Generals, and the two level 100 bosses have produced a total of 39 pieces of loot. We will now auction them off, and the proceeds will be split equally between the two sides."

"no problem!"

Everyone rubbed their hands together excitedly, examining the many spoils of war with great interest.

Su Yu roughly counted the items, first setting most of the materials aside, and said:
"Is there anything here that you need? If not, I'll buy it directly at 70% of the market price."

"No, you can give me an estimate."

Su Yu turned around and waved. Several of her logistics and accounting subordinates from the brigade came forward to estimate the price of each item. They finished estimating in just three minutes and gave a figure:
"A total of 186 gold."

"any questions?"

"no problem."

"Let's calculate it first, and settle it all together after filming."

Su Yu then looked at the other 18 flying swords, magical artifacts, or special spoils of war, and took out a knife-shaped magical artifact from them, saying:
"Fifth-tier Demonfire Blade, starting bid 5 gold, minimum bid increment 10 silver, place your bid now."

Someone immediately placed a bid:

"6 gold."

"7 gold."

"8 gold."

Bidding continued, and after a few rounds, the price reached 9 gold coins before no one else bid.

The first few items were all fifth-tier flying sword magic treasures, and the bids came in very quickly, usually around ten gold coins each, with occasional high-quality items fetching fifteen or sixteen gold coins.

A few minutes later, Su Yu took out a sixth-tier magic weapon and started the auction.

"Sixth-tier Earth Fire Cauldron, starting price 50 gold, minimum bid 1 gold per round, place your bid now."

Gu Zhiqi immediately made a bid:

"55 gold."

"60 gold."

The crowd was clearly more interested in sixth-tier magic treasures, and they were eager to buy each one, with each one fetching over 80 or 90 gold coins.

The market price for a sixth-tier magic weapon is over 100 gold, with slightly better ones costing over 100 gold. Getting one for 80 or 90 gold is considered a bargain.

As items are auctioned off one after another, fewer and fewer remain, but those that remain are becoming increasingly exquisite.

"Five Fire Divine Thunder: It is made by refining the essence of the five fires in the sky into divine thunder, which can split mountains and crack rocks, and burn the sky and boil the sea."

Su Yu said with a smile:
"Starting bid: 50 gold. Place your bid now."

This thing is the demonic lightning that several demon generals used. When demons mix it with demonic energy, it becomes demonic lightning; when Qi cultivators use it, it becomes lightning magic.

Lightning techniques are extremely rare; the vast majority of independent cultivators do not know them. Among the several hundred people in Su Yu's three major squadrons, probably only a dozen or so know lightning techniques, including Su Yu himself.

His lightning magic is derived from the Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique; he doesn't actually know lightning magic.

However, although he doesn't know thunder magic, he looks down on the Five Fire Divine Thunder.

Once this matter is settled, I will go to the Xuanzong Immortal Sect and become a disciple of a powerful Earth Immortal. There, I will surely learn the orthodox thunder techniques of the Xuanzong Sect, which are far superior to unorthodox thunder techniques like the Five Fire Divine Thunder.

Wei Xia and He Shoucheng were similar; although they couldn't join the Immortal Sect, joining other sects was no problem for them, and they also looked down on this thunder technique.

But apart from a few of them, no one else could join the sect. The Five Fire Divine Thunder was considered the best thunder technique for them.

After several bids, the Five Fire Divine Thunder was finally sold for 125 gold and acquired by Gu Zhi Qiu.

After selling this item, Su Yu tallied her gains and smiled slightly:
"Total income is 860 gold, 430 gold is split in half."

Su Yu took half of the 860 gold coins he had just traded and gave it to Wei Xia; how they divided it among themselves was no longer his concern.

Then he took out the last three spoils of war: a jade slip, a pagoda, and a banner, and said:

"As agreed, I can choose one magic weapon first."

Reaching out, he picked up the banner:
"I want this."

Wei Xia's eyes twitched when he saw the attributes of the banner, but after looking at the attributes of the pagoda, he thought that this one was also very good.

Su Yu watched as Wei Xia picked up the pagoda with obvious delight and smiled:
"If I didn't already have a sixth-tier rare defensive magic item, I would definitely choose the pagoda."

Wei Xia chuckled.
