Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

Chapter 143 Annihilation

It has been almost half a year since Xiao Yu obtained Sun Tzu's spirit, and today he can finally say that he has truly mastered the "Six Secrets of Military Strategy".

The difficulty of cultivating epic-level techniques is extremely high.

This gives us a glimpse into the situation.

Even top-tier individuals like Ye Heshan, even if they obtain an orange-quality cultivation technique, cannot master it in a short time, let alone ordinary individuals with average abilities and talents.

After Xiao Yu officially mastered the complete version of "The Six Secrets of Military Strategy", his various attributes received a significant boost.

This is just the beginning!

The highest level of the Six Secrets of Military Strategy is also level 9.

This means that the most basic sub-techniques, such as the Four Curses of the Military Saint and the Yin-Yang Secret Technique, can have their level cap increased by 3 levels to an astonishing 15 levels.

The upper limit has been significantly increased.

Furthermore, after the Six Secrets of Military Strategy are formally mastered.

Xiao Yu's Four Symbols Spell and Four Symbols Formation will both turn into red secret techniques, and their effects will be greatly enhanced.

For example, when casting the Four Symbols Spell, not only is the activation speed faster, but each Sage Spell is 20% more effective than when used alone.

Not only that.

The Six Essentials of Military Strategy are the core techniques of Sun Tzu.

The moment Xiao Yu finished cultivating, Sun Wu fully awakened the Six Secrets, gaining more than ten times the attribute increase of Xiao Yu, and his strength and potential were further developed.

Although most of the skills in the Six Secrets of Military Strategy have fixed bonuses, Xiao Yu's actual application effect is definitely not as good as Sun Tzu's.

Once Xiao Yu has fully mastered this epic-level technique, Sun Tzu will be able to use the Six Secret Techniques of the Sage of War more flexibly and combine them with his natal soul weapon, including the Supreme Military Manual.

in short.

After this breakthrough.

Sun Tzu's strength and abilities have been greatly enhanced, allowing him to fully unleash the power expected of a top-tier epic hero.

This indirectly improved Xiao Yu's overall strength, which is undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements and effects of this training.

Next.

No time was wasted.

After using up his last two Clear Stream Hearts, Xiao Yu rushed to the vicinity of the core BOSS area of ​​Blood Beam City as quickly as possible.

They met up with Su Qingmeng, Wang Yang, and others.

"Wow, you're a god! You're fucking amazing!"

"I didn't expect that."

"You actually did it!"

Captains Zhou Lie, Lu Chengfeng, and Chen Xi were now almost worshipping Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu not only accomplished what would normally require two teams of Chosen Ones to do, but he also conveniently eliminated several other corrupted individuals.

This includes figures like "Zhang Quanyi," whose stature is comparable to that of the Four Great Evils!

The five chosen ones of the Asking Heaven had confidence in Xiao Yu and knew that if Xiao Yu took action, he must be confident of success. However, the glory of the victory still far exceeded their expectations.

of course.

These days...

They weren't idle either.

The monster density near the core area is actually quite high. They don't need to go far; they can even stay put and encounter patrolling monster soldiers.

During this period, I killed a total of one or two hundred demon soldiers and monsters. With the help of the lucky aura and the early game bonus, the results were very fruitful.

Xiao Yu's gaze swept quickly over the group.

The pollution levels are generally around 85%.

There's no time left.

It is not too late.

Xiao Yu led the eight people into the final venue. Thanks to the prior preparations made by Ye Heshan's team, they arrived at the coronation platform without encountering too many obstacles along the way.

"Is this the location where the final boss, Zhu Wen, is located?"

Jiang Xiaxia hid at the back of the group, observing her surroundings.

Despite its dilapidated appearance, riddled with cracks and broken pieces, the square is as large as a stadium.

In the center of the site, amidst countless wreckage and bones, stands an altar throne entirely crafted from skulls, upon which sits a terrifying figure that inspires awe.

[Zhu Wen, the Bloodthirsty Emperor Who Usurped the Tang Dynasty], Level 13 Overlord —

It's Zhu Wen!

Judging from its appearance.

Zhu Wen was exceptionally robust, standing about eight or nine meters tall. His body resembled a humanoid blood-red dragon, but he had a ferocious beast-like face.

Human form, dragon body, beast head.

He was slightly overweight and wore a yellow robe with human faces sewn on it.

His mouth was split open to his ears, revealing a mouthful of interlocking fangs. On his head was a severely twisted and deformed flat crown that had grown into his skull, with tassels made of skulls.

The aura of the chosen one.

Let Zhu Wen awaken from his nightmare slumber.

Two burning, dark golden flames suddenly ignited in the hollow eyes.

A powerful aura and a sense of oppression enveloped the entire venue, putting immense pressure on the chosen ones present.

"Is this Zhu Wen?"

"While it hasn't reached the strength of a rare overlord (mid-tier overlord), it looks incredibly close!"

"Under these conditions, further enhanced by the deep sea, its strength is now comparable to most rare overlords of the same level!"

'

'

As the core guardian boss of the first layer of the old dream, Zhu Wen's rank will inevitably not be too high.

Even so, it still reached the peak strength of a level 13 overlord.

This level of strength is already greater than that of Wang Yanzhang in the nightmare.

Of course, since the Blood Beam Formation had been completely broken by Xiao Yu, Zhu Wen was not strengthened by the formation, so his strength was not as good as the strengthened version of Wang Yanzhang that Ye Heshan and the others had faced before.

It wasn't too difficult for Xiao Yu.

However, this BOSS is by no means simple for the current Chosen Ones.

The chosen ones of the Non-Questioning Sky and Dragon Soul ships have no chance of defeating Zhu Wen in his current state unless all four teams join forces.

"The Chosen One—"

Zhu Wen slowly rose from his throne.

The skull throne underwent changes and automatically disintegrated.

A blood-red jade seal flew out and landed in his left hand.

Hundreds of black skulls were ripped from the Skull Throne and gathered in his right hand to form a terrifying, crude, and oppressive Thousand-Skull Greatsword.

Zhu Wen, holding the blood-red jade seal in his left hand and raising the massive black sword with a thousand heads in his right, let out a low, majestic roar, "How dare you ants tread upon my imperial court?!"

Xiao Yu didn't want to waste any more time.

Summon the Flying General's spirit immediately.

The latter immediately drew his bow and launched the Flaming Arrow into the sky, instantly transforming it into a rain of arrows that densely covered the area where Zhu Wen was located.

Boom boom boom!

Explosions rang out one after another.

Flames and smoke mixed with fragments of bones scattered everywhere.

Zhao Gang: "Did it succeed?"

Wang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's not that simple!"

When the smoke and flames dissipated slightly, the altar platform disappeared.

A giant dragon formed from countless skulls took its place.

This dragon was a hundred meters long, and its entire body was made of skeletons. It was protecting the evil Zhu Wen with its enormous body.

"A bunch of ants daring to challenge me?"

"Then let your desperate cries bring me joy!"

Zhu Wen raised the blood-red jade seal in his hand. The densely packed skeletons on the registration platform were all enveloped in red energy, which then quickly gathered and transformed into giant skeletons.

"Is it a summoning game?"

Su Qingmeng was slightly surprised to see this.

Xiao Yu said, "These little monsters are unkillable. As long as Zhu Wen isn't eliminated, they will keep resurrecting."

They can't be killed all of them.

Lu Dahai scoffed, "Is this disgusting?"

Zhao Gang: "So what? I'll hold them off!"

Wang Yang immediately said, "Captain, we'll take care of these summoned creatures. You just focus on dealing with Zhu Wen!"

Xiao Yu nodded.

The chosen ones immediately completed the division of labor.

The nearly one hundred skeleton monsters summoned by Zhu Wen were all level eleven elites.

Not only are they numerous and powerful, but they also don't drop loot, making killing them pointless and a complete waste of effort.

however.

Even though they knew there was no benefit.

The eight chosen ones still made the decisive choice to restrain the monsters.

Not only were the five crew members of the Wentian ship willing, but Zhou Lie, Chen Xi, and Lu Chengfeng also had no objections.

Because they know very well that they were able to get this far and have the opportunity to participate in the first clear of Bloodstained Bianliang entirely thanks to the help of the top players, and now it's time for them to make some contributions for the top players.

This trip.

The harvest was substantial!

I no longer dare to hope for too much.

The nameless flying general's spirit drew his bow again, unleashing a powerful whirlwind arrow, which was once again blocked by the skull dragon. The dragon, not to be outdone, launched its own attack.

The nameless general fought against the skull dragon.

Zhu Wen locked his gaze on Xiao Yu, who possessed the strongest aura and was clearly the most threatening. He quickly swung his greatsword, unleashing a massive, dark red sword light.

Obviously.

This powerful evil.

It not only has the ability to summon large numbers of creatures.

Their individual combat strength is also extremely formidable.

Xiao Yu neither dodged nor evaded the attack, making no move or reaction. He released a red heroic spirit light from his body, and a figure wearing dark gold heavy armor blocked his way.

boom!

The giant spear blocked the giant sword.

Zhu Wen's personal attack failed to budge the mountain-like figure in the slightest; instead, the sword light he unleashed was shattered by the impact.

"This is----"

Zhu Wen sensed Li Cunxiao's power; this heroic spirit was several times stronger than the other, and was capable of posing a threat to him!

These chosen ones clearly came prepared.

Without thinking too much.

Li Cunxiao's counterattack has begun.

Its enormous size and speed were beyond imagination.

Dark gold war spears launched attacks on Zhu Wen from all directions.

Zhu Wen immediately released a dark red shield through the scarlet jade seal in his hand. Although the shield looked inconspicuous, it withstood more than a dozen attacks without breaking.

"The Four Symbols Mantra of the Military Sage!"

"The Four Symbols Formation of the Military Sage!"

Xiao Yu did not directly attack but instead activated his skills. When the six techniques were combined into an epic-level technique, the power of the Four Symbols Curse and the Four Symbols Formation was greatly enhanced.

All summoned units on the field were severely weakened.

Li Cunxiao's combat power increased dramatically after being afflicted by the four curses.

"Not enough!"

Xiao Yu then unleashed a secret technique on Li Cunxiao called "Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven - Fire"!

This divine weapon descending from the sky is the Yang technique of the Yin-Yang Manual, and its main effect was originally to greatly increase damage and critical hits. However, after Xiao Yu fully mastered the Six Techniques Combined into One, it became even more powerful.

The Yin-Yang Technique of the Military Sage has undergone tremendous changes!

One of the biggest changes is that both Yin and Yang techniques can be combined with the four spells of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain to create a total of eight different enhanced versions of secret techniques.

The four elements, wind, forest, fire, and mountain, represent the four elements of wind, water, fire, and earth, respectively.

When a divine weapon is combined with one of the attributes, it can focus on enhancing the critical hit and damage effects of that specific attribute, making it especially suitable for use with warlocks who are proficient in various magical attacks.

Li Cunxiao has no magical attack capabilities.

However, because he was currently under the influence of the "Level 7 Invasion Like Fire Curse", all his attacks were accompanied by intense fire damage, and now he was subjected to even more amplified damage.

boom!

A loud bang!

The war spear destroyed the crimson barrier.

—2332 (Critical Hit!)

—4388 (Critical Hit!)

—4643 (Critical Hit!)

Li Cunxiao's ferocious offensive.

Zhu Wen was powerless to fight back.

Health points are being depleted at an alarming rate.

In less than three minutes, his health was almost depleted.

This powerful and imposing final boss of the dungeon was not enjoying the privileges expected of a major boss at this moment.

The field was immediately suppressed.

"Your clamor is over—your days are numbered, turn to dust!"

Xiao Yu immediately ordered, "Retreat!"

Zhu Wen suddenly crushed the blood-red jade seal in his hand, and an aura of destruction suddenly erupted, instantly blasting all targets within a radius of fifty meters into dust!

It's a deadly move that results in mutual destruction.

This move was very sudden and extremely powerful.

Even someone with a strong defensive constitution like Li Cunxiao would suffer serious injury if he failed to react and dodge in time. As for ordinary chosen ones and ordinary heroic spirits, they would surely die if they were hit.

However, it was clear that Xiao Yu had already seen through Zhu Wen's trick, so with his advance warning, Li Cunxiao successfully avoided the attack.

"It's not over yet!"

Xiao Yu squinted at the blood mist left behind after Zhu Wen's self-destruction. This blood mist did not dissipate, but instead surged into the skull dragon in mid-air.

next moment.

The monster, whose body was made of thousands of human skulls, rapidly grew flesh and blood, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed from an ugly bone dragon into an even uglier, fleshy, lumpy deformed dragon.

The dragon's entire body was covered in human heads.

The expressions on each face were twisted and grotesque.

Such a monster would undoubtedly make anyone lose their sanity just by looking at it.

Chen Xi exclaimed in surprise: "Second form?"

Zhou Lie frowned deeply: "Indeed, he's more troublesome than ordinary corrupted beings!"

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple!"

Faced with Zhu Wen in his new form, Wang Yang immediately activated the Heavenly Evolution Battlefield. Just a few seconds later, when he reopened his eyes, his face was pale and his expression was solemn.

Su Qingmeng asked, "How is it?"

Wang Yang said in a deep voice, "It will be difficult to fight. Zhu Wen's second form is even stronger and more ferocious. If we were to lead the team to make adjustments, we would not have a high chance of winning without seven or eight captain-level combatants of average skill."

Su Qingmeng: "After all, he is the strongest BOSS in Nightmare."

Wang Yang: "Watch out, his mental attack is coming! This guy's mental attack is not only very strong, but it also has a very troublesome curse effect that will continuously weaken us!"

While they were talking.

Zhu Wen let out a hysterical roar.

A fierce mental attack indiscriminately covered the entire area.

Even the stronger Wang Yang and Su Qingmeng were significantly affected by Zhu Wen's offensive, and the skeletal giants from all directions immediately seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

"The Flying Tiger Descends!"

Li Cunxiao launched a wide-range attack.

They crushed the skeletal giant who was trying to take advantage of the situation.

Zhu Wen's massive body twisted in mid-air, constantly emitting violent and frenzied roars. A dark red light condensed on hundreds of faces on his body, eventually being transmitted to the dragon's head and released violently.

boom!

Like a laser.

The attack speed is too fast!

Li Cunxiao immediately activated his Invincible Golden Body, while simultaneously wielding his battle spear to defend himself. The two were locked in a brief struggle, but since Li Cunxiao was the one being attacked, he suffered some damage.

Xiao Yu made his move.

"The Light of the God of War!"

First, activate the God of War's Light.

He then began to unleash his righteous spirit.

One layer, two layers, three layers — in one go, twelve layers were stacked up.

This was two layers more powerful than when he instantly killed Li Zhen, as a strong aura enveloped his entire body.

It is impervious to all evil.

It is difficult for any law to penetrate.

Mental attacks and curses have all temporarily lost their effect on him.

This time, not only were twelve layers of righteous energy superimposed, but also four curses and divine weapons descending from the sky.

next moment.

To initiate a self-sacrificing act of righteousness.

A dazzling white sword light.

It erupted from the coronation platform in the center of Bloodbeam City.

The thick, dark red clouds were cut in two.

The massive sword energy struck Zhu Wen's head first, then swept from head to tail, instantly splitting his body in two.

—34232 (Critical Hit)!

Completely crushing everything in its path!

Explosive damage!

Zhu Wen had no chance to dodge, nor the ability to fight back. He was instantly killed by the attack, and his massive body turned into ashes and vanished into the void.

A purple orb of loot burst out from it.

This is the new announcement that arrived as scheduled.

[The chosen one "Yu Xiao" has achieved the first kill against the historical villain "Zhu Wen, the Bloodthirsty Emperor Who Usurped the Tang Dynasty," gaining 160 points of world luck!]

[The team led by the chosen one "Yu Xiao" has successfully purified the nightmare of "Bloody Bianliang," and has gained 400 points of world luck!]
