Chapter 916: The Fifth Bullet! Pierced Twice in a Row!
Crack!!
At this moment.
Facing the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord now trapped in a dire situation, Ling Zhan expressionlessly reloaded his Dragon Sniper.
The next second…
Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger!
At this point, there was no need to waste another word on the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord.
The sniper bullet shot out from the muzzle at an extreme speed, arriving before the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph!!"
Despite being in a tight spot, the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord still maintained a cold arrogance.
He snorted and even showed a trace of disdain in his expression, raising his hand to block the incoming bullet.
He was just out of mana.
Not crippled or gravely injured.
Being out of mana only meant he couldn't use skills, but his four main stats were still intact.
Moreover…
The reason his mana recovery was so slow was because he had been persistently locked in combat and couldn't exit battle.
As everyone knows…
In many MMORPG games, the difference in recovery between being in combat and out of combat is enormous.
Out of combat, a normal Professional can recover 5% of mana per second.
Just ten seconds would restore 50% of maximum mana, enough to re-enter combat.
But during combat, mana regeneration is less than 1% per second.
It can only be replenished through support or mana potions.
The Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord currently had no support.
And he didn't carry any mana potions either.
Mainly because he thought it was completely unnecessary.
After all, he had defended this fortress for so many years, never encountering a situation like today. Even when faced with attacks from national legions, he always effortlessly thwarted their plans with his own means.
So there was no need to prepare mana potions.
He simply didn't expect to crash and burn this time.
And to fall at the hands of a level 165 non-specialist.
His heart grew heavier.
He was in danger!
Those guys from the Demon Arrival Organization were right!
This non-specialist was truly terrifying!
For the first time in his life, the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord felt fear toward a human!
At this moment.
The Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord raised his hand slightly, and with a clink, he easily deflected the speeding sniper bullet.
A sniper bullet of this caliber…
He could still handle it with ease.
Ling Zhan's sniper round couldn't even break the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord's arm skin!
So this is the physique of a Demon Lord?
But then…
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Ling Zhan pulled the trigger three more times in a row!
Having experienced the first shot, the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord smirked again. He didn't dodge or evade—he chose to tank the three incoming sniper rounds with his body!
Strictly speaking, Ling Zhan's weapon was an anti-materiel sniper rifle.
Designed specifically for armor penetration and siege.
Yet the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord dared to take it head-on—showing just how arrogant he truly was.
Even though the three bullets were all aimed at his chest!
Clang! Clang! Clang!!
Shockingly…
When the three bullets hit his chest nearly simultaneously, they emitted the sound of clashing metal, and all were deflected!
Only leaving a bullet mark on his chest.
"Is this your attack method?"
"If this is all you've got, then let me tell you—you'll never be able to kill me!"
Seeing this scene, the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord's prior gloom vanished instantly.
Though Lemorris Fortress had fallen, this non-specialist's attacks still couldn't kill him.
That meant he could at least hold out until his mana recovered.
Currently, the so-called Five Gods Imprisoning Heaven Formation hadn't even attacked him yet, and by the looks of it, the divine beast powers likely couldn't break through his defense either.
Once he recovered mana, he'd unleash a killing move to shatter this formation.
Thinking this, his expression grew even more arrogant.
Hmph…
Although he was tricked by this non-specialist, it seemed that guy couldn't do anything to him either!
His attacks were too weak!
So weak they couldn't even pierce his defense!
In truth, the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord could've stayed and continued fighting.
But now he was completely alone.
The other major fortresses still didn't know about this one falling.
Meanwhile, on the Demon-Slaying Legion's side…
They had already started constructing a massive space teleportation array on the ground!
That meant in less than half a day, endless reinforcements from Moore Fortress would arrive.
Once the generals of other kingdoms joined forces to besiege him, even as a Demon Lord, he'd be in serious danger.
So it was better to escape now!
If he escaped, he could rally the other Demon Lords to retake Lemorris Fortress!
But just as he had that thought…
"Danger!!"
A terrifying, life-threatening aura suddenly surged into his mind!
Danger?
This…
The Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord could hardly believe his instinctive combat intuition!
He instantly turned his head—and found the deadly threat was coming from that non-specialist's gun!
What the hell?
This aura was vastly different from the previous four shots!
Should he dodge?
Or not?
Torn between pride and reason…
Bang!!
The opponent had already pulled the trigger!
Buzz!!
A strange instinct locked onto him completely!
It's over!
This bullet carried a high-priority causality skill!
Even if he wanted to dodge now, it was too late!
There was no time to dodge!
The bullet was too fast!
Of course…
In this urgent moment, the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord didn't foolishly use his chest to take this obviously threatening bullet.
So…
He crossed his arms, and the six black wings behind him folded forward, forming layered defenses!
Boom!!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ling Zhan's fifth bullet, brimming with terrifying damage, slammed into the Demon Lord's defenses!
With a violent force, the previously immovable Demon Lord was sent flying by the bullet's impact!
Even more terrifying…
This time, there was no metallic clanging.
Instead…
Pshh!!
The sound of the bullet piercing flesh!
The Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord clearly felt his black wings pierced through by the bullet!
Next were the crossed arms in front of him!
The bullet remained unstoppable!
After just two penetrations, the Demon Lord felt his full 100% health drop instantly to 70%!
