Chapter 917: Ruthless Annihilation
Boom!!
After his wings and arms were consecutively pierced through…
Under the shocked and uncertain gaze of the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord…
The bullet struck his demonic body.
This time…
The bullet felt to him like a terrifying magical rocket bombarding his face without mercy.
His entire body was blasted open, skin torn and flesh mangled!
His most prized defensive attributes were completely ineffective in that moment!
Why…
No, something's wrong!
Even if this bullet was more terrifying than the previous ones, it shouldn't have been able to injure him this badly!
What went wrong!?
Huh!?
Wait a minute…
Why did all my attributes suddenly drop by 90%!?
After forcibly stabilizing his stance, the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord was utterly dumbfounded!
Looking back at that ever-expressionless non-specialist holding up a sniper rifle in the distance…
Boom!!
An overwhelmingly terrifying aura erupted from that direction!
More terrifying than ever before, the aura of that non-specialist had reached a monstrous level!
It was as if…
As if all the attributes lost by the Demon Lord had been transferred to the non-specialist!
This…
In his dire moment, the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord quickly checked his status panel.
Damn!
He hadn't noticed before!
Now he was shocked!
Poisoned, crippled, slowed, tortured, bleeding, bound, silenced, Devoured…
Three full rows of negative debuffs had landed on him!
He was a Demon Lord!
Naturally endowed with extremely high abnormal resistance!
Even SS-rank status effect skills should be reduced by 60% under his resistance!
An SS-rank status that would normally drain 10,000 HP would only drain 4,000 from him!
He even had passive skills and talents that could automatically purge abnormal statuses.
Under normal conditions, not a single abnormal status could affect him.
This natural advantage gave him the strength to solo ten level-190 human powerhouses!
But now…
It all failed!?
Especially that debuff called 'Devoured.'
Its description left him stunned!
[Devoured (Target): You have been stripped of 90% of your total attributes. Duration lasts until the caster exits combat.]
[Note: This effect cannot be dispelled, purified, or removed.]
Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord: "..."
He swore…
In all his years of life and combat, he had never seen such a debuff!
Ridiculous!
Absolutely ridiculous!
Stealing 90% of total attributes!
Total attributes, damn it!
If it had only been one stat, it wouldn't have shocked him this much.
But it was everything!
His max HP, armor, magic resistance, abnormal resistance, attack speed, movement speed, casting speed, all four core stats…
All were reduced by 90%!
My god!
Even if another Demon Lord had to deal with this debuff, they would be paralyzed with terror!
And it lasted until the caster exited combat!
That meant as long as the caster stayed in battle, the stolen attributes would never return!
This…
No wonder his defenses were shattered so easily!
His HP dropped to the bottom instantly!
Bang!!
But before the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord could act, Ling Zhan had already pulled the trigger again!
Take note…
This time, the bullet's damage was double that of before.
Why?
Because the Demon Lord's full attributes had now stacked onto Ling Zhan!
Everyone knows in game logic, a character's attack damage depends not only on weapon stats but also on personal attributes.
Simply put…
Attack Damage = Weapon Stats + Character Attributes.
So the power of this bullet…
Was unimaginably terrifying!
And with 90% of his attributes gone, how could the Demon Lord withstand it?
Thus…
"I'm doomed!"
The Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord closed his eyes and accepted the fact that he would lose his first life!
Boom!!
His bird-like head was blown apart like a watermelon!
Marking the fall of his first life.
Even if the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord had nine lives…
There was no hope left!
Because during his resurrection period, he couldn't exit combat!
Resurrection took four seconds!
To exit combat required fifteen seconds without being attacked or controlled!
And he had no control over his resurrection!
It was like an auto-revive passive.
Once his HP hit zero, whether he liked it or not, the Demon Clan's undying secret technique would forcibly trigger the next life.
If he didn't revive within five seconds, he'd be permanently dead.
But at best, that only delayed things by nine seconds!
This…
Buzz!!
With despair in his heart, the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord resurrected again!
Most abnormal statuses were purged by his built-in 'Undying Prayer.'
But the 'Devoured' debuff clung to him like a maggot to rotting flesh!
And of course…
So did a debuff called 'Doomed Life.'
Damn it!!
As the Demon Lord cursed in frustration—
Bang!!
The sniper rifle's trigger was pulled once more!
The sound was like Death knocking on the door!
Every shot claimed another of the Demon Lord's lives!
And sure enough…
Pshh!!
With 90% of his stats gone, there was no way he could dodge Ling Zhan's full-powered shot!
And this was just a normal attack!
Ling Zhan had also received stat boosts from his own 『Celestial Spirit: World-Ender Omnipotence Set』!
So the Demon Lord got headshot again!
Two shots, two kills!
Whoosh!!
The Demon-Slaying Legion members watching from the sky gasped in absolute shock!
They had taken flight and were closing in on the Demon Lord.
So they saw everything clearly.
Two consecutive headshots!
Two of the Demon Lord's lives gone in an instant!
The terrifying bullets were like bombs, relentlessly blasting his skull!
However…
What shocked the Demon-Slaying Legion even more came next!
The Demon Lord used his third life!
Boom!!
But not even one second after resurrecting, he was annihilated again by Ling Zhan's bullet!
Boom!!
Boom!!
Boom!!
...…
Fourth life!
Fifth life!
Sixth life…
Ninth life!!
Under the utterly stunned gazes of every member—
Each of Ling Zhan's bullets afterward effortlessly ended the life of the infamous Demon Lord!
He didn't even give the Crimson Phoenix Demon Lord a chance to beg for mercy!
Just as the Demon Lord revived with his ninth life—
He tried to kneel and plead for mercy!
But what he faced was a terrifyingly cold and merciless god of death!
Forget a Demon Lord.
Even if it were a child pleading before Ling Zhan—if it was an enemy, Ling Zhan would still cruelly and mercilessly wipe them out!
Mercy and sympathy do not exist in Ling Zhan's heart!
