MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 489 - One-Sided Battle

Panda Novel

“Do you dare to have a face-to-face fight with me?” Drifting Snow taunted indignantly.

Li Yi looked at him and laughed while shaking his head. “You still don’t stand a chance in a face-to-face fight.”

“You’re bluffing! I dare you to let me get up and fight!”

“You can always get up whenever you want.”

“You must wait until my Weak status has expired.”

“No problem.”

Drifting Snow was a very particular person when it comes to identity and status. That was why he was willing to negotiate terms and talk rationally with Li Yi.

Drifting Snow released his soul and corpse ran to resurrect himself.

Li Yi was indeed a man of his word. He did not ambush Drifting Snow when he was still Weak. Instead, he stood there grinning at Drifting Snow and waited until his HP has fully recovered and the Weak status has elapsed.

Drifting Snow pointed at Li Yi, looking like the cat that has gotten the cream. “You actually had the guts to let me get up. You’re dead, you’re dead.”

So this was Drifting Snow the legendary megalomaniac?

Li Yi made a come hither motion with his finger, indicating Drifting Snow that he was giving him the chance to make the first attack.

With a wave of his hand, the Flaming Phoenix appeared beneath Drifting Snow’s feet and stretched its fire feathers to fly to the sky. On the other hand, Li Yi has also summoned the Violent Bear King. Even though the Violent Bear King has very weak attack prowess, but it has great uses in combat because it could be a substitute of a God-tier HP Potion at the eleventh hour.

The Flaming Phoenix screeched and flapped its fire feathers before casting a Flame Shower Spell towards Li Yi.

Meanwhile, its owner Drifting Snow has abruptly disappeared…

No matter in the sky or on the ground, there was no traces of Drifting Snow. This time, he did not use Beast Soul’s Possession to transform into a leopard for Stealth. Instead, he used another way to make himself invisible.

“Is that an Advanced-level Invisibility Potion that could last for one minute? You’re really a big spender.”

Li Yi made a jab at Drifting Snow. His Heart of a Clear Mirror skill was still in Cooldown and thus could not be used. Naturally, he could not detect the present location of Drifting Snow.

It was Drifting Snow’s specialty to hide and rely on Flaming Phoenix to attack the enemy. This guy knew at least five ways to make himself disappear and using Beast Soul’s Possession and the Advanced-level Invisibility Potion was just two of his many methods.

“You’re dead, you’re definitely dead this time. My phoenix has locked on to you, you’re going to die!”

The invisible Drifting Snow did not forget to provoke Li Yi while he was busy changing his location.

Right at the moment when the Flame Shower Spell rained onto him, Li Yi activated the Rocket Propellant. The back of his shoes started to spout fire and he was 20 meters away in an instant. He sprinted for a while after that to safely escape the range of the Flame Shower Spell.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

Li Yi shot three arrows consecutively at the Flaming Phoenix.

[-15456]

[-11233]

[-10234]

The calculation of a monster’s defense value differs from a player’s, and the rule applies to all players. When the enemy was a monster, the player could make full use of their attack damage; when the enemy was another player, they could only make use of half of their attack damage. This mechanism was in place to promote better PK balance among players, and it was a result of the system’s automatic correction.

“My phoenix can have unlimited resurrections, and it will become more and more powerful after every revival. Dark Wing, you will never kill it no matter how powerful your damage is. Hahaha, you’re dead, you’re definitely dead!”

Drifting Snow kept with his verbal assault to provoke Li Yi. This was his strategy to distract his enemies so that they lose his focus. This strategy of his has a professional name – trash talking.

Li Yi ignored him. He summoned the Holy Light Warhorse and continuously attacked the Flaming Phoenix while avoiding the Flame Shower.

The Flaming Phoenix only had a HP of 200,000. That small amount of HP was nothing for Li Yi.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

The Flaming Phoenix’s HP dropped to 0 very quickly. Then… the Divine Protection Spell came into effect. The Flaming Phoenix was burst with scorching fire, and it only took five seconds for it to revive with full HP and elevated attributes.

This was the special skill of an overpowered Legendary-level pet!

“Hahahahaha, Dark Wing, you’re dead, you’re dead! My phoenix will only become more powerful with every death. Did you see that? The Flame Shower Spell’s attack range has increased. Are you seeing this? My phoenix is quicker and faster now! You’re dead, you’re dead…”

Drifting Snow’s trash talking was truly potent. Any other ordinary players would have lost their focus by now with all this blabbering, but this skill of his was entirely useless against Li Yi. After all, Hero Li right here had the glorious title of the Great Swindler in his past life. He was the subject of all the insults and curses from countless players every day…

Drifting Snow’s trash talks were just drizzles when compared to the violent storms and waves that the old Li Yi had experienced. Drifting Snow’s attack could never compare to that, no?

Li Yi chuckled to himself and continued to shoot at the Flaming Phoenix. The Holy Light Warhorse moved very quickly and was able to dodge all of the Flame Shower Spells with no problems at all.

The Flaming Phoenix’s Inextinguishable Flames was so overpowered that coming into contact with just a tiny amount of it would cause continuous damage to the target. It was still okay if it was NPCs or players that came into contact with it since they could easily cancel the effects with some spells. However, if any buildings or plants come into contact with the fire, the result will be catastrophic.

With a blink of an eye, the Flaming Phoenix’s HP was almost gone again. The phoenix died and rose from within the ashes, but this time, it has a temporarily increased HP of 250,000.

Woosh woosh woosh…

[-653]

[-534]

The Flaming Phoenix’s body was engulfed in a light greenish glow. Above its head, damage values constantly appeared. The venom special effect on the Eukana’s Venomous Armguard that Li Yi carried activated, and it had poisoned the phoenix.

“Your efforts are futile! My phoenix will die and rise from the ashes, and all abnormal statuses would be dismissed by then. Hahahaha, even if it was poisoned this time, it would gain temporary immunity to the poison status when it resurrects later. Hahaha, Dark Wing, just give up and stop struggling, you’re dead anyways. You’re dead!” That disgusting voice of Drifting Snow’s was heard once again.

“Eliminate!”

Li Yi entirely ignored Drifting Snow’s taunts and shot out his last arrow. The Flaming Phoenix collapsed to its death with a loud crash and a pitiful screech…

The Flaming Phoenix did not disappear. Instead, it has turned into a corpse status and remained dead on the floor.

Drifting Snow was stunned for a while before he started to curse. “F*ck, what godd*mn luck! You’ve managed to hit that 1% probability somehow.”

The 1-minute invisibility time was finally up. Drifting Snow finally reappeared. He intended to keep the phoenix and summon another pet to aid him in battle, but when he wanted to summon it, an unexpected incident happened.

System Notification: [Your pet has yet to be dismissed. Please wait for a successful dismissal before starting a new summon…]

“F*ck? F*ck? F*ck?” Drifting Snow said ‘f*ck’ three times in a row. He was entirely astonished.

“You’re dead, you’re definitely dead! Hahahaha!”

Li Yi grabbed the chance to jab at Drifting Snow with his own trash talk. He then activated God Mode, flew above Drifting Snow, and used Eliminate maniacally.

The distance was close, and his attacks were fierce. Drifting Snow did not even have the time to dodge, and the golden HP Potion that he chugged did not even stand a chance against Li Yi. Soon, Drifting Snow face-planted himself sullenly into the ground.

A purple ring dropped out from Drifting Snow’s body. Li Yi picked it up and studied it before keeping it into his Backpack.

The quality and attributes of the ring were nothing out of the ordinary, but it was a good material to be decomposed.

“Dark Wing! Do you still dare to let me get up? Do you still have the guts to do so? I bet you don’t!” Drifting Snow bellowed from the ground that he laid on.

“Why would I not have the guts to let you get up? Just get up, I’ll even allow you to recover to full HP.”

“Alright, just you wait!”

Drifting Snow was ecstatic. He released his soul and went corpse running excitedly.

How was he so excited even in death? That was right, it was because Drifting Snow was convinced that Li Yi would definitely die after he stood up this time.

He was too reckless during his previous two attempts. However, this time would be different. ‘This time, I would definitely toy him to death! Heh heh, I’ll use Beast Soul’s Possession to turn into the phoenix and cast the Flame Shower Spell together. I will not believe that you would somehow survive that. You will definitely die!’ thought Drifting Snow.

The more he pondered on this plan of his, the more convinced Drifting Snow became of his inevitable success. Due to the boost of motivation, the running soul of his even felt extraordinarily faster…

Drifting Snow stood up once more. He stayed on the ground to recover, and it only took him a while to regain his full HP. His Weak status disappeared as well.

“Hahahaha, Dark Wing, you’re definitely dead this time. You actually had the guts to let me stand up again! You will definitely…”

Drifting Snow waved his hand gleefully in an attempt to summon the Flaming Phoenix. However, he received another System Notification.

[Your pet has yet to be dismissed. Please wait for a successful dismissal before starting a new summon…]

“F*ck? F*ck? F*ck?” Drifting Snow stuttered out three consecutive ‘f*ck’s as he stared dumbly at the Flaming Phoenix’s corpse on the ground. His brain muddled to a stop.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

Li Yi’s God Mode was still in effect. He could not care less about what thoughts were in Drifting Snow’s head. He did allow him to stand up and recover to full HP, but he never said that he would not kill him.

Drifting Snow collapsed again…

“What’s going on? Why can’t I keep by phoenix?”

“Take your time to think about it, you’ll understand it soon.”

“F*ck!”

Li Yi smirked slightly, his Orange Bow in hand.

Before this, he had activated the Soul Bind special effect on the Orange Bow to bind the soul of the Flaming Phoenix for 24 hours.

Flaming Phoenix’s Divine Protection Spell was powerful. Truthfully, the Flaming Phoenix on the ground was not dead yet. It was just under the effect of the Soul Bind, and could not resurrect itself until the time has elapsed. If it were to resurrect itself after this, it would be immune to all of Li Yi’s future attempts of using Soul Bind.

Of course, the immunity will last only in this battle. Once the battle has ended, all strengthening effects on the Flaming Phoenix will automatically return to normal.

The Divine Protection Spell was still active. However, since the time of the Soul Bind has yet to elapse, the Flaming Phoenix could not get up from the ground. That was what happened…

After a while, Li Yi coughed a bit and asked Drifting Snow, “Are you still getting up? I’ll let you get up.”

“F*ck!” Drifting Snow spat petulantly. He was still grumpy about his situation.

“You’re bullying me using your Orange-Quality weapon! Dark Wing, do you dare to dispel the Soul Bind that you have cast on the phoenix?”

Drifting Snow was not a stupid man. He had found the reason behind his predicament after taking some time to study the Flaming Phoenix’s status.

Li Yi threw back an insult, “Didn’t you also rely on your stupid bird to act all great and mighty? You also relied on it to start city-wide massacres all over the place, no?”

“I’m a Pet Archer, what else would I use aside from my pets?” Drifting Snow tried to shake off the accusation.

“I’m an Assassination Archer, what else would I use aside from my bow?” Li Yi retorted mercilessly.

“Hmph, no matter what, the two previous battles were one-sided battles! You had an unfair advantage. If you really had the balls, you would dispel the Soul Bind so that we could properly fight each other with our true abilities!”

Li Yi was shocked. “True abilities? Are you saying that you did not use your true abilities to fight me before this?”

“Of course! I haven’t performed up to my full potential. That’s the only reason you had gotten an easy win.”

Li Yi suddenly realized how thick and big of a face Drifting Snow has.

“Alright, I’ll let you get up. However, there’s no point in fighting repeatedly like this. Do you have the guts to place a bet with me?”

“What are you betting on?”

“I’ll use my Orange Bow as my bet, and I’m betting against your phoenix!”

Li Yi chuckled and raised his Orange Bow high.
