Legendary Son-in-Law: The Man with Poison Talismans

Lin Mu gasped. This Moon Spirit was too outrageous. It must be his acorn that had awakened the Moon Spirit's potential.

As for the Rainbow Demon Lord, after being hit five or six times, it finally turned around, its turbid gaze locking onto the pink figure floating in mid-air, its eyes filled with confusion.

Why is this guy, who's covered in the aura of the crimson moon, attacking me? That shouldn't be happening.

It opened its mouth and let out a few low, indistinct roars, as if trying to communicate, as if asking "What the hell are you doing?", trying to get Yue Ling to stop and attack the barrier together.

But Yue Ling couldn't understand any of this. She strictly obeyed her master's orders, and with a push of her palms, she threw two more yellow energy balls, which exploded in the chest of the Rainbow Demon Lord.

-5412.

The Rainbow Demon Cult Leader staggered back half a step after being struck, and was completely enraged.

It stopped trying to communicate and stopped standing still to take the beating; instead, it charged forward with a savage ram.

Yue Ling was momentarily careless and didn't react in time, and was knocked off balance by the savage collision.

Relying on the protective aura of the Crimson Moon, she thought the monsters around her wouldn't attack her, but she forgot that the Rainbow Demon Lord was a BOSS-level being and wouldn't fall for that.

Before Yue Ling could regain her footing, the Rainbow Demon Lord's Heaven-Opening Slash had already landed, followed by the Sun-Chasing Sword Technique, with golden sword energy piercing through her slender figure.

The moonlight surrounding Yue Ling suddenly flickered violently, and her figure, which had been floating in mid-air, twisted and dissipated, finally turning into a pink speck of light that vanished under the dark red sky.

Lin Mu crouched in the shadows and couldn't help but gasp; the warrior's burst damage was simply outrageous.

With the Heaven-Opening Slash and the Sun-Chasing Sword Technique, he took down the Moon Spirit, who had 3200 HP and was at full strength, in just two strikes. In his combined form, he only had a little over 5000 HP. If the Rainbow Demon Lord were to target him, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single combo.

But he didn't have time to dwell on his feelings. Without stopping, he raised his hand and summoned the Moon Spirit.

The crimson moon in the sky once again condensed into a blood-red radiance, which fell straight down from mid-air, gathered and took shape on the ground, and the moon spirit reappeared before him.

As soon as Yue Ling appeared, she tilted her head as if she had just woken up from a nap. Then, without saying a word, she pushed with both palms, and two yellow energy balls flew towards the Rainbow Demon Lord.

The Rainbow Demon Lord had just breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly rejoicing that the annoying pink guy had finally disappeared when it was hit by two more energy balls, which blasted it back two steps, and a -5348 appeared above its head.

It paused for a moment, as if it hadn't quite grasped the situation. How did it come back to life?

Then it looked down at the reappearing Moon Spirit, its mind probably racing: Could this really be related to the Crimson Moon? It can be resurrected after being killed; what if the Crimson Moon comes?

It stood there hesitating for a moment, as if weighing whether or not to make another move.

But in the brief moment of its hesitation, Yue Ling had already created distance, floating far away in mid-air, maintaining a safe distance, and would no longer foolishly stop close to get beaten up like before.

Just as the Rainbow Demon Lord was about to rush forward and kill her, Yue Ling's thin wings fluttered lightly, and she floated far away, as agile as a butterfly that could not be caught, making the Rainbow Demon Lord's savage charge and Heaven-Opening Slash always just one step away from reaching her.

However, every single one of Yue Ling's yellow balls hit it squarely, with the damage numbers steadily increasing and never missing its target.

Lin Mu wasn't idle either.

He crouched in the shadows, occasionally throwing a fire talisman from the side to deal additional damage when the Rainbow Demon Lord was restrained by the Moon Spirit, or raising his hand to cast a Bloodlust spell when it was off cooldown. Although it didn't do much damage, it added up over time.

Lin Mu silently did some mental calculations:

Although Yue Ling needs to constantly dodge the attacks of the Rainbow Demon Lord, she will occasionally be caught and instantly killed by him, which will take some time.

However, each of Moon Spirit's attacks deals a stable damage of around 5400, in addition to its own poison damage and the occasional addition of fire spells and bloodlust.

Combined, the damage per second has steadily increased to over 2500.

With 500 million HP, at this rate, it would only take about half an hour to whittle it down.

He steadied himself again, fixing his gaze on the dark golden figure. He had prepared the medicinal powder and talisman in his hand, and began to grind the Rainbow Demon Cult Master's blood bit by bit.

Chapter 307 The Rainbow Demon with Six Lives

Furthermore, Lin Mu discovered that the Rainbow Demon Lord, now equipped with gear, seemed to have abandoned his previous attack methods and transformed into a warrior.

Sure enough, under the continuous output of Lin Mu and Yue Ling, the Rainbow Demon Lord's health bar dropped little by little, from 500 million to 400 million, then to 300 million, 200 million, 100 million... and it was about to be reduced to zero.

Lin Mu crouched in the shadows, his hand already holding a talisman, waiting for the Rainbow Demon Cult Master to have only a sliver of blood left so he could finish him off in one move.

As a result, the Rainbow Demon Lord's health bar suddenly and completely returned to full the moment the last bit disappeared.

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, then immediately cursed, using very vulgar language: "Fuck your mother, the Rainbow Demon Cult Leader is still wearing a resurrection ring..."

Despite his cursing, Lin Mu had already regained his composure.

He stared at the Rainbow Demon Lord's health bar, which had been fully replenished, and quickly went through the resurrection ring's mechanics in his mind.

That thing has a durability of 5/5. It loses 1 point of durability each time you revive, and then the revival effect goes on cooldown.

In the game, the cooldown of the resurrection ring is 60 seconds, but in this world, things are obviously not that cheap. The Empress told him that the cooldown of resurrection is 600 seconds, or 10 minutes.

In other words, the simplest and most direct way to truly defeat the Rainbow Demon Lord is to kill it again within 10 minutes of its resurrection, thus allowing the resurrection effect it couldn't wait for to take effect once more.

The problem is, if you can whittle down 500 million HP in 10 minutes, your DPS would need to reach 8334, but your current DPS is only 2500, so this path is obviously not feasible.

Then we can only choose the second approach: slowly wear down its resurrection ring's durability to 0.

Each resurrection reduces durability by 1 point, meaning his resurrection ring currently has 4/5 durability remaining.

It can be resurrected four more times, for a total of 5 lives, which adds up to 2500 million HP.

At his current rate of attrition, it would take him about two hours to recover all five lives.

Lin Mu crouched in the shadows, unfolded the crumpled talisman in his hand, added another layer of green poison, and then slipped to the side to hide again.

Yue Ling floated back to a safe distance, pushed with both palms, and two bright yellow energy balls flew out again, exploding on the Rainbow Demon Lord.

A new round of attrition warfare has begun.

Fortunately, after such a long back and forth, Yue Ling gradually figured out the rhythm of the Rainbow Demon Lord's attacks. Each time, she would drift away just before the blade fell, like a butterfly brushing past raindrops without a single leaf touching her.

Her counterattacks became faster and faster. With a push of her palms, two yellow balls flew out, and with another push, two more flew out, the interval between them almost a third shorter than before.

Lin Mu caught up with the rhythm, interspersing fire talismans and bloodlust spells more and more frequently, while the poison never stopped.

The damage per second gradually increased from the initial 2500 points to 3000, 3500, and finally settled steadily above 4000 points.

At this rate, 500 million HP can be depleted in 20 minutes. With five lives and 2500 million HP, it would only take two hours at most.

Sure enough, in less than 90 minutes, Lin Mu had whittled down the Rainbow Demon Lord's health by 4 more tubes.

He crouched in the shadows, watching as the Rainbow Demon Lord's health bar was emptied and then replenished for the fifth time. He silently counted in his mind that, including the first time, this was the fifth time the Lord had been resurrected.

The resurrection ring should have 0/5 of its durability remaining. In other words, the Rainbow Demon Lord only has one life left.

If it's worn down again, it won't be able to stand up again.

Lin Mu only wished that the world didn't have a keyboard and mouse, otherwise he could just Ctrl+right-click and see how much durability the Rainbow Demon Cult Master's resurrection ring had left.

Unfortunately, now he can only rely on counting.

At the same time, Lin Mu prayed that the Rainbow Demon Cult Master's resurrection ring was not of the highest quality, or even if it was, that the highest quality attribute would not be added to durability.

During this time, the leader of the Woma sect also made a visit.

The reason is this: at the foot of the west city wall, the Rainbow Demon Cult Leader's initial fierce attack looked terrifying, but it came quickly and went quickly.

The commotion had barely begun when it went silent after less than three seconds of loud banging, like a firecracker whose fuse got wet and went silent after a couple of plops.

The Woma leader in the distance had been hoping that the Rainbow Demon leader would cause a big commotion on the west city wall, but this is what happened.

Almost two hours have passed since everyone started their charge, and you've already given up without even having a proper exchange of fire.

It was very unhappy, thinking to itself, "Who are you trying to fool?"

Then, with a flash of white light, the Woma Cult Leader, who was covered in red and green poison from some unknown Taoist priest, was teleported over.

It wanted to see what the Rainbow Demon Cult Master was up to.

But the Empress kept chasing it and landed with it. As soon as they landed, a blast of heaven-extinguishing fire crashed down on them.

The Empress raised her Soul-Devouring Staff high.

Then, with a muffled boom, a towering pillar of fire rose from beneath the feet of the Woma leader. A solidified phantom of a fire dragon swirled wildly, its purplish-black inner flames tightly coiling and scorching. The heat waves rolled, and even the stone slabs beneath their feet were sizzling and smoking, with shattered stones flying out with a crackling sound.

After the pillar of fire subsided, only a charred ruin remained on the ground, with thick, pungent black smoke billowing around it.

A number, -617, also appeared above the Woma leader's head.

Lin Mu, crouching in the shadows, could see clearly and clicked his tongue inwardly.

The Empress's Annihilation Fire is also level four, but unfortunately, without the enhancement of her own red poison, the damage is not very high.

Moreover, in order to quickly defeat this boss that was running around all over the place, the Empress kept using her skills, which consumed a lot of energy. She also drank potions like water, chugging bottle after bottle of healing potions into her mouth.

As he tilted his head back to drink the medicine, Lin Mu's gaze unconsciously followed the elongated neck for a while.

The Empress's neck was truly white, without an ounce of excess fat. When she drank the medicine, the slightly red liquid slid down her lips and flowed down her neck, staining her fair skin with a faint pink tinge, making it look bright and smooth in the firelight.

Although the clothes covered her up completely, the lines stretched out when she tilted her head back were still faintly visible, outlining a beautiful S-shaped curve.

However, under this relentless bombardment, the Woma Leader's health has been reduced to only one-third.

Although it attacks fiercely, it is also the most vulnerable to attacks, second only to the Rainbow Demon Lord, because it always runs into crowds.

However, it wasn't in a hurry. The poison from an ordinary Taoist priest would only last for two minutes at most. At worst, it could wait for the poison to dissipate and then find a safe corner to slowly recover its health.

With 350 million HP, my HP regeneration is fast. If there's no green poison to suppress my HP regeneration, even if this violent little girl chases after me and I drink too many potions and she bruises me with her staff, her damage still won't be able to keep up with my natural HP regeneration.

Chapter 308 One Kill in Ten Steps

Just as the Woma leader was making his plans, Lin Mu didn't hesitate to look away from the Empress, silently thinking, "The important thing is to get down to business, I'll look at it later."

Then his eyes shifted and locked onto the Woma leader who was being chased and beaten by the Empress not far away. "I didn't have time to poison you earlier, but now you've come here on your own. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."

In the blink of an eye, he raised his hand and unleashed a red poison and a green poison. The gray-green and dark red mist precisely enveloped the Woma Leader's body, removing all the original poison from its body. Poison damage numbers immediately appeared above its head.

Despite its poisoned wounds, the Woma leader took several more blows from the Empress, and the numbers -4896 and -4928 popped up above its head, causing it to shudder in pain.

It suddenly turned its head and glared in the direction where Lin Mu was hiding.

Although it couldn't see anyone, it sensed the potency of the poison and also detected Lin Mu's presence.

Lin Mu crouched in the shadows, not in a hurry to readjust his position. A thought even popped into his mind: take this opportunity to use his poison to attract the Woma leader and kill both bosses here.

But things didn't go according to his plan.

With a flash of white light, the Woma Cult Leader was teleported away again, swiftly and decisively.

Lin Mu frowned as he looked at the empty space. Where was his poisonous hatred imprint?
