The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 67 The Underworld [Part 3] Mo Qian has also learned bad habits from Ye Xiu—

If Ye Xiu were here, his eyes would light up. He and Lan He had been running this dungeon repeatedly because they wanted to find the hidden boss, Black and White Impermanence.

But I just haven't managed to get the hidden boss, Black and White Impermanence. Old Ye's face is really unlucky, Old Ye is so unlucky—

As a result, Baozi's team casually stumbled upon this hidden boss, Black and White Impermanence. Once Black and White Impermanence locks onto a target,
You will never lose this aggro unless the locked target's health is depleted.

Baozi's initial brick attack successfully attracted the hatred of the Black and White Impermanence. The Black and White Impermanence's range of activity is terrifying throughout the entire instance, and they will absolutely not stop until they have hunted Baozi down to death.

So Qianqian and her two friends just watched as the Black and White Impermanence relentlessly chased after Baozi, ignoring everyone else, determined to get rid of him.

"You've pulled in a hidden boss... Baozi, you're really something."

Regardless, Mo Qian still had to go for it. Baozi's profession was a rogue, and he truly had no way to deal with this hidden boss, but Mo Qian still had some damage.

"Boss, be careful, this boss is weird, it doesn't do any damage when you attack it."

Seeing Mo Qian rush out without hesitation, Baozi reminded him.

"The properties of a virtual entity? I see."

Mo Qian had already suspected that this hidden boss's body was both real and illusory, and he guessed that this hidden boss might have the attribute of [illusory body].
【Ethereal Body】is a rare attribute possessed only by a few bosses, and it's a killer attribute for classes that primarily rely on physical attacks.
"Phantom Step!"

The sword immortal subconsciously used "Phantom Step," creating several afterimages as he simultaneously unleashed the three most powerful sword immortal techniques towards Black and White Impermanence:
Moonlit Slash!
This is actually just an application of the sword energy of "One Thought God and Demon." Ordinary swordsmen can also perform this operation, but it greatly increases the skill required of the user.
Currently, only two people in the alliance can perfectly execute the Crescent Moon Slash: one is Sword Saint Huang Shaotian, and the other is Sword Immortal Mo Qian, the creator of this technique.

"As expected."

To Baozi's surprise, Mo Qian's sword actually hit the hidden boss Black and White Impermanence's [illusory form]!
"Huh?! Did I just see things wrong?!"

When Baozi saw Mo Qian succeed, she subconsciously thought that she could do it too, but what Baozi didn't know was:
Mo Qian succeeded because his weapon was the [One Thought God and Demon], which had already awakened its second form, with both light and dark sword energy swirling around it.

This gave Mo Qian the ability to fight back. Since physical attacks were ineffective, he could simply change his approach and use sword energy attacks.

The character with the steamed bun leaped into the air, throwing sand at the faces of the Black and White Impermanence! The key was accuracy.
"Wait..." Before Mo Qian could even warn Baozi, Baozi had already flown away.
The movements had to be swift, the posture stylish—and Baozi certainly did. But very quickly, Baozi flew out at an even faster speed.

With a "bang!", the Black and White Impermanence's [Death Hand] swung and sent the steamed bun flying!
This really made matters worse for Baozi's already low health. He had already been hit by the Black and White Impermanence once before, which reduced his health by a third. This time, he was hit again, and his health dropped to red health!

"This doesn't make sense—"

Baozi sat on the ground, lost in thought.
Actually, this hidden boss isn't that difficult to defeat. As long as there's a skilled player who can keep the boss's aggro, meaning they've locked onto the boss and survived, that's all that's needed.

Clearly, the steamed buns successfully served as bait and persisted for quite some time, which gave Mo Qian an opportunity.

"Upward slash! Triple slash! Phantom Sword!" Mo Qian suddenly stammered. It was as if Huang Shaotian had possessed him. The upward slash and triple slash were alright, but the Phantom Sword was completely fictitious.
That's a swordsman's ultimate move, how could Mo Qian possibly use it?

The Eighteen Forms of the Sword Immortal does have special usage techniques for this skill, but you can't use it without learning the skill itself.

"Hey boss, keep it up! Wait, why is it still chasing me?! My ass doesn't taste good!"

Baozi subconsciously took a zigzag route.
"Huh? What's this? Continuous Z-shaped jitters??? No, something's missing. Baozi probably hasn't systematically learned Z-shaped jitters. This kid is a real genius."

Sometimes, genius isn't a compliment. True genius is the one who perseveres. Genius is just a stepping stone, and many geniuses die young.

"Baozi, your positioning is impressive!"

Mo Qian said with a smile that he had always used the "Sword Immortal Shake" movement technique, and the current situation was:
The hidden boss was following Baozi, being led around by him from all sides. Sword Immortal Mo Qian followed behind, occasionally delivering a sword strike.
"Come on, Baozi! Hang in there! We're counting on you! Hahaha!"

Mo Qian felt that this training could be widely adopted by the team he and Ye Xiu would eventually form, as it greatly improved positioning skills.

It's true, you never know your potential until you push yourself. Baozi is a prime example, though there were some aftereffects.

Baozi probably won't be able to sleep tonight; even her bed is being chased by the Black and White Impermanence!

"Sword Immortal's First Move! Consecutive Slashes!"

Finally, Mo Qian unleashed his final sword strike, finishing off the last of Black and White Impermanence's health.
With a loud "bang!", the phantom figures of Black and White Impermanence exploded, scattering equipment and materials all over the ground.
With a "whoosh!", all the materials and equipment vanished in an instant.

Baozi: "Second Brother! There's something dirty here!"

Mo Qian subconsciously scratched his head; in fact, he had acted instinctively just now.

Ye Xiu and Mo Qian are truly worthy of being friends for so many years—even their speed in grabbing materials is about the same.
The materials were all collected by Mo Qian before they even hit the ground. Mo Qian can be said to have learned his lesson.
Ever since Ye Xiu made all the materials disappear in an instant, Mo Qian has also developed this habit:
Regardless of materials or equipment, let's use our high-speed bursts to get them first!

As for the subsequent distribution of the spoils, it's more reassuring to keep it in one's own hands.

"Luckily, Old Ye is already asleep, otherwise this kid would have come out to try and get a share of the pie."

At this moment, Mo Qian was looking at all the materials in the bag with a happy smile. He could give the equipment to Qianqian and Baozi; they didn't need the materials.

"Hey! Old Mo, your materials are pretty good!"

"Old Ye?!"
