Muscular Rabbits Legion: 'No one can escape from the novice village!'

Chapter 142: Chapter 142 The Lone Shadow on the Cold River, Old Friends in Jianghu [First Update]

“Kill!” the players of Slaughterhouse roared in unison, charging toward the Altar and the Witch Demon King with impeccable coordination.

They knew all too well that the Witch Demon King could summon, resurrect, and enhance the Skeleton Guard Army; therefore, killing more skeletons was futile. To win, they had to capture the leader!

But the Witch Demon King was, after all, the strongest existence among first-order bosses. He was not so easy to kill.

With a wave of his arm, a dark green aura spread out…

“Ding! You have been afflicted by a Weakness Curse, reducing your movement speed by 20% and Attack Power by 20%.”

Instantly, the human players who had been charging forward suddenly slowed down.

The Witch Demon King waved his arm again, and a red aura spread out, covering all of the Skeleton Guards.

The Skeleton Guards, as if injected with adrenaline, their eye sockets blazing with red light, saw increases in both movement and attack speeds. The enhanced Skeleton Sword and Shield Soldiers at the front made a sprint and forcefully blocked the players’ charge.

The Long Spear Soldiers, from behind, jabbed their spears through gaps in the shields at the players, disrupting their formation.

Evil King bellowed, “Butcher!”

Butcher, a full-Power warrior, rushed out, carrying his large shield in front, and roared. His body glowed as the vague shadow of a Giant Bear rose behind him, obviously activating his skill, “Make way for me!”

Accompanied by a roar, Butcher’s berserk strength instantly knocked the Sword and Shield Soldiers in front of him flying, and the players took the opportunity to form into a wedge and forcefully tore an opening, storming in.

Butcher lead the way, and with the cooperation of other players, the defense of the Skeleton Guards collapsed in an instant, no longer able to block their path.

Seeing the players climb from the first level of the Altar to the second, the Witch Demon King furiously waved his Magic Wand, and bones converged towards him. The next moment, he transformed, donning White Bone Armor, wielding a White Bone Spear as the Witch Demon King charged at the players with an imposing roar.

The Witch Demon King moved extremely fast, like a streak of white light, and slammed his spear against the shield of Thousand-Handed Butcher. With a loud bang, Thousand-Handed Butcher was sent reeling back.

At the same time, Thousand-Handed Butcher exclaimed, “Holy shit, everyone be careful, this guy’s attacks have Magic Attack! Damn it, one spear took away more than half my Blood Volume… and that was just hitting the shield. If it were to hit the body…”

All the players broke out in a cold sweat.

After repelling Thousand-Handed Butcher with one spear, the Witch Demon King swung his Long Spear to his back and pointed at the players with his left hand, “Kill!”

Like a commander amidst an army, at his command, the Skeleton Guard Army charged at the players again.

And the Witch Demon King provided support from the surroundings, always ready to strike with his spear whenever there was a breakthrough or the Imperial Guard met resistance.

Even if a Blood Bull was hit by his spear, if it didn’t get blocked by a shield, it was instantly killed!

Within just three minutes, the Witch Demon King had killed six players from Slaughterhouse, with three more killed by the Skeleton Guards.

Looking at the Witch Demon King’s side, for every Skeleton Guard killed, he summoned another, with no reduction in their numbers.

In this worsening situation, the players of Slaughterhouse found themselves at a disadvantage.

“Boss, this guy is too cunning, hard to get a hit in!” a player shouted.

After shouting, he realized that Evil King had disappeared without a trace!

Just as he was about to look for Evil King, the Witch Demon King seized the opportunity to dive down, stabbing him in the chest. A white light flared up, instant kill!

Almost simultaneously, a figure abruptly leapt from the nearby stone platform, one hand gripping the white bone fissure behind the Witch Demon King’s back, as a dagger plunged directly into the back of the Witch Demon King’s head!

Pfft!

“Roar!”

The Witch Demon King, in pain, turned furiously mid-air, trying to throw off the Evil King clinging to his back.

“Ropes, pull him down!” The Evil King, while clinging desperately to the dagger and the bone fissure, shouted aloud.

The players seemed to be prepared. One after another, ropes were thrown into the air, looping around the bone spurs on the Witch Demon King, then they all pulled down forcefully.

Though the Witch Demon King appeared frightful, he was still a mage at heart, with his Power Attribute not being particularly monstrous; pulled by a dozen players, he immediately lost his balance and fell down.

Seeing this, the warriors roared angrily, fending off the rampaging Skeleton Guard Army outside, while the players inside bombarded the Witch Demon King on the ground, his Blood Volume rapidly depleting…

Just as the Witch Demon King was about to die, he suddenly let out an enraged roar, “Die, all of you!”

Boom boom boom…

A series of explosion sounds resounded as the Skeleton Guard Army self-destructed, blowing the surrounding warriors away.

The unexploded Skeleton Guard Army charged in, but were immediately blocked by other players.

However, these players were only mages and archers. Unable to withstand the Skeleton Guard Army’s attack, they fell where they stood, but they bought time for their comrades to kill the Witch Demon King.

The damned Witch Demon King roared unwillingly, and then his body lit up with a red light, the prelude to entering a state of Fury!

“Damn it, he’s going Berserk, fall back!” The Butcher shouted.

But the Evil King commanded, “No retreat, keep attacking. Berserk takes time, if we kill him before he goes Berserk, we’ll succeed! We can’t give him a chance to breathe, or we’ll never get another chance to kill him!”

A normal Witch Demon King had already turned the battlefield into a Slaughterhouse with numerous casualties. If he went Berserk, his power doubling or more, it would be a one-sided slaughter. There was only one chance, fight or forfeit this great opportunity!

The players of the Slaughterhouse were fierce, not a single one retreated, all of them charged forward. Amidst the chaos of battle, the Witch Demon King roared as the red light on his body grew brighter. Just as he was about to succeed, the Evil King bellowed, and with a fierce stab, his dagger slashed through the Witch Demon King’s throat. With a pfft, his head was severed!

Everyone’s gaze turned to the bloodied, shriveled head that rolled away…

But the system announcement for killing the boss did not sound, meaning…

“Damn it, he’s not dead yet! Just a little more!” Realizing there was a problem, the Evil King raised his hand and struck at the body with his dagger!

But the strike yielded no damage numbers, which meant…

“Chase that head! That’s the real body!” The Evil King reacted instantly, shouting as he pursued, “Archers, mages, hit him! He’s down to a sliver of Blood Volume, just a touch and he’s dead!”

Archers drew their bows, arrows poised, and Fireballs filled the sky!

Just as the Witch Demon King was about to die, a large net suddenly descended from above, blocking most of the arrows and Fireballs. At the same time, a strand of Spider Silk shot onto the Witch Demon King’s head, and with a flick, the head flew out of the circle of players, speeding towards the distant Altar.

“Who? Who dares ruin my plan!” The Evil King was furious!

Then they saw a figure on a crooked tree nearby, back facing everyone, head tilted upwards gazing at the full moon in the sky and murmuring, “A solitary shadow on the cold river, old friends of Jianghu, why need to have met before? No need to thank me…”
