Chapter 344: One challenge after another, the difficulty increases.
Chapter 344: A series of trials, with increasing difficulty.
The sword energy was like a swamp, trapping Jiang Chen inside, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
This skill is an area-of-effect attack, and it also has both attack and control effects.
The sword energy fell densely onto the skeleton armor, making a clanging sound.
Every second, Jiang Chen had to endure more than a dozen sword energies attacking him, a very high frequency.
The only drawback is that its attack power is slightly insufficient, making it difficult to break through the skeleton armor.
However, the Sword Qi Swamp could not control Jiang Chen, as both his Bone Armor and Status Immunity passive skills could ignore its effects.
Jiang Chen was unaffected and unleashed his Soul Burning technique once again.
Another scream rang out, and the swordsman's aura weakened rapidly.
The last star ring exploded, and the longsword in his hand slashed down at Jiang Chen from afar.
In that instant, Jiang Chen felt himself being locked on.
The intense sword energy descended, completely engulfing Jiang Chen.
The earth was cleaved open, forming a huge crevice.
Skill: Ground Slash!
The swordsman smiled; this was his most powerful attack skill.
He was confident that no one among his peers could withstand him.
Even if Jiang Chen doesn't die, he will be seriously injured.
He stared intently at the sword energy, and through it, he saw a flickering flame. His expression changed drastically, and he froze on the spot, collapsing limply to the ground.
The third flame disappeared between his brows; as he had expected, he was killed.
The sword energy vanished, and the swordsman's body and his longsword disappeared along with it. The first level was cleared.
Jiang Chen continued toward the village.
It must be said that the power of the last Star Ring skill was quite impressive.
It was already comparable to a single strike from the Crimson Moon Demon.
A level 40 swordsman can deal damage comparable to a level 55 lord-level demon.
This shows that this class's attack power is indeed amazing.
Jiang Chen had a vague guess in his mind, guessing the purpose of Yi Shen's actions.
This is the Mystic Realm of Righteousness, and the God of Righteousness is its master. All of this is naturally under his control.
As I was pondering this, another person came into view.
It still looks the same, has the same decorations, and even the same longsword.
Putting all that aside, even their posture and breathing were exactly the same.
The only difference is that it has an extra pair of star rings on its wrist.
Six star rings.
The swordsman also pointed his sword at Jiang Chen, in the exact same pose, "Level 49, Holy Light Swordsman."
"If you want to go back, kill me."
"Or I could kill you and leave you here forever."
Even the lines are the same.
The Holy Light Swordsman is an upgraded version of the Divine Swordsman.
After undergoing a class advancement during their second job change, the Divine Swordsman becomes the Holy Light Swordsman. They gain stronger attributes, more powerful skills, and more star rings.
The Divine Swordsman gains one Star Ring every 10 levels, while the Holy Light Swordsman gains two Star Rings every 10 levels.
The star rings on the wrists of the swordsmen are their skills.
Aside from the most basic sword aura attacks, some powerful skills must be cast through the Star Ring.
Star Ring possesses a variety of abilities, including breaking curses, healing itself, and granting buffs.
After introducing itself, it charged towards Jiang Chen.
It was even faster than the previous one, appearing in front of Jiang Chen almost instantly.
The sword energy spun wildly and erratically.
Jiang Chen raised his hand, still starting with the Curse of Aging!
The opponent unleashed a star ring, and the sword energy crisscrossed, shattering the curse.
Moreover, they will not be affected by the curse for a period of time.
The sword energy struck the skeletal armor, making it gleam.
Its attack power is also much higher than before.
Jiang Chen followed the same method; in a one-on-one situation, Soul Burning was still the best combat skill.
Automatic lock-on, no aiming required.
Once locked on, Jiang Chen could hit the target accurately even with his eyes closed.
Just as the soul-burning sensation began, Jiang Chen suddenly lost his target.
A star ring exploded, revealing nearly a hundred identical Holy Light Swordsmen.
They surrounded Jiang Chen in a dense, overwhelming manner.
Everyone's aura was exactly the same, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Everyone launched an attack on Jiang Chen together, and in an instant, sword energy surged forth like a tidal wave.
"Is it a clone? The Star Ring's skills are really peculiar; it can even break free from the Soul Burning lock."
"But do you want to outnumber me?"
A thought struck him, and a chilling wind howled as an undead legion appeared beside him.
The sharpshooter and the archmage attacked simultaneously.
Elemental explosions, arrows flying like lightning.
The swordsman's hundreds of clones were instantly destroyed.
The Holy Light Swordsman's eyes clearly showed shock.
The star rings exploded!
Skill: Sword Qi Swamp!
Skill: Ground Slash!
It's no use; the skeletons are completely unaffected by the sword swamp.
The Lich General can remove negative status effects with a single skill.
A sharp sword aura descended from the sky and struck the skeleton.
The skeleton burst forth from the sword energy, imbued with the glow of healing magic. The attacks of the Skeleton Archmage and the Archer struck first.
Explosions rang out continuously from the Holy Light Swordsman's body.
The undead legion only gave it two chances to use its skills before launching a fierce counterattack.
The level 49 Holy Light Swordsman was instantly killed without any suspense.
Jiang Chen continued forward, this time too lazy to gather up the undead army.
The constant clicking sounds as the skeletons moved seemed to be a discordant note in this mysterious realm.
However, to Jiang Chen, this was a reassuring voice.
"There should still be some!"
Just as I was thinking this, I saw a figure in my line of sight.
They look the same all the time, and I bet even their words are the same.
In addition to the star rings on my wrist, I now have another pair.
Four pairs of star rings. The level should be around 59.
Jiang Chen didn't waste any words. As long as you're not level 70, there's nothing to fear.
Even if you're over level 70, you still have to fight it to know.
It's not like I haven't killed level 70 enemies before; I've even killed the Demon King's clone.
At a thought, the skeletons began to move.
Hundreds of meters apart, the Skeleton Archmage and the Skeleton Archer attacked simultaneously.
The holy swordsman standing far away suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
In the light, Jiang Chen saw it fall to the ground.
The Skeleton Archmage and Skeleton Archer focused their fire and instantly killed them.
It was concise and to the point, without any unnecessary words.
No talk, just action! That's Jiang Chen's style.
As Jiang Chen got closer to the village, he arrived at the village entrance.
Here, the village houses are clearly visible, and just as Jiang Chen had initially guessed, they are composed of various elements.
Smoke was rising from the village, but there was no one living there.
Another swordsman stood at the village entrance, guarding the road into the village.
Look at the star ring on his wrist.
Five pairs, ten star rings.
It should be level 69.
Without a word, the undead army made its move.
An explosion rang out, and the Skeleton Archmage and Skeleton Archer focused their fire again.
Both attacks are lock-on attacks and cannot be dodged.
This time, the swordsman was clearly prepared. The moment the attack landed, the three star rings on his wrist exploded simultaneously, instantly creating thousands of identical clones.
The attacks from the Skeleton Archmage and the Sharpshooter only destroyed a few of the clones.
These clones immediately attacked Jiang Chen upon appearing.
Jiang Chen knew that its true form was definitely hidden inside, but it was difficult to discern.
Jiang Chen's mind raced, "Free attack!"
Explosions erupted all around, and arrows rained down like lightning.
Numerous clones were quickly annihilated, and not a single one could get close to Jiang Chen.
Suddenly, one of the clones emitted a powerful sword aura.
The sword energy split in two; one sword energy soared into the sky, while the other formed armor around the body.
The sword energy that rose from the sky crashed down like a meteor.
With a deafening roar, the attack was extremely powerful.
All the skeletons were blasted away, and even the Lich General was not spared.
The attack doesn't have a knockback effect; what it delivers is pure, powerful impact.
A level 69 swordsman has significantly stronger stats than a level 59 swordsman, with a substantial increase in attack power.
The swordsman did not take the opportunity to attack Jiang Chen, but instead appeared in front of the Lich General.
The star ring exploded, and the sword energy emitted a dark red light.
The longsword pierced the Lich General's body, and in an instant, the Lich General was frozen in place, unable to move.
All skills were instantly locked down.
The swordsman's star ring exploded again, followed by a backhand strike.
Skill: Sword Qi Swamp!
This time, the Sword Qi Swamp was extremely large, covering an area of several hundred meters, and all the skeletons were enveloped within it.
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, not expecting that someone could actually seal off the Lich General.
Since the Lich General himself was sealed off, it was naturally impossible for him to remove the abnormal status of the team.
The swordsman began unleashing a barrage of attacks on the Lich General.
However, a level 40 Lich General, after receiving his own legion enhancement bonus, has a constitution of up to 35.
Its defenses are incredibly high, making it virtually impossible to kill.
However, the swordsman persisted and launched a fierce attack on the lich general.
Jiang Chen's soul pulsed and burned in his hand, yet he still couldn't lock onto the target.
The opponent's clones are not all dead yet.
In this case…
A thought struck him, and two more undead legions appeared.
The Lich General cast a cleanse spell the moment it appeared.
The skeletons broke free, and the Lich General, whose abilities had been locked, also recovered.
