His gray robes shone. Although Li Yi could not determine its attributes, he recognized that it was the Spirit Summoning Robe of the Demonic Apex.
The cock-shaped hat was the Spirit Summoning Helmet of the Demonic Apex, the pair of ancient dark-colored gauntlets was the Spirit Summoning Bracers of the Demonic Apex, the gray long pants was the Spirit Summoning Trousers of the Demonic Apex, the gray shoes was the Spirit Summoning Boots of the Demonic Apex, and his gray cloak was the Spirit Summoning Cape of the Demonic Apex.
Six pieces of Apex equipment and one belt away to a complete Demonic Apex Equipment Set.
The Orange Quality Staff in his hand was the Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff, which remained within the top ten of the Divine Equipment Rankings for eight long years.
Its owner was of medium build, styling a crew cut. Neither handsome enough to be attractive, nor ugly enough to be interesting. If he smiled, however, he would stand out due to his devilish grin.
Li Yi recognized him at first glance. It was the legendary Summoner, The Mountain.
“Nice to meet you, I am The Mountain.”
The Mountain smirked and reached out towards Li Yi. The latter immediately leaped back.
Hiss!
Black smoke spurted out from the hands of The Mountain, and it engulfed the location Li Yi previously occupied. If Li Yi had not jumped in advance, he would have been hit.
Although Li Yi had not encountered him in his past life, he had seen many video clips about him. This individual was unscrupulous, insidious. He struck at his opponents when he was least expected, releasing black smog to obstruct eyesight. It was his most commonly used trick. Li Yi had seen it many times in videos, how could he not be prepared?
Bam! Bam!
Li Yi fired two Meteor Arrows. The Mountain dodged them; he had seen them coming.
Li Yi raised his bow again and The Mountain waved. “I carry no ill will, my dear friend! I merely wanted to talk. As you can clearly see, I am not attacking at all! Cease! Cease!”
Li Yi lowered his bow and stood straight, squinting at The Mountain.
“You see, violence is not the answer, it is the last refuge of the incompetent! What do you say to us joining forces? It would be a wise thing to do, yes?”
Before Li Yi could reply, The Mountain went on, “I am but a breath in the wind, a fart in the blizzard, but you, you are something else. There is no honor in killing someone who doesn’t fight back, eh?”
Whether or not the legendary Summoner was powerful, he knew not, but his tongue was certainly one of a kind.
His words were more effective than shields in delaying the inevitable.
Li Yi had ignored the purple-colored items on the ground just to pursue this guy for a reason. How many players dared to infiltrate the Sixth Demonic Domain?
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut had been sent back to the city. Li Yi initially thought he was alone in the Sixth Demonic Domain. He did not expect that there would be three others.
He understood Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s presence, but Milky Way Star and The Mountain? He was utterly surprised.
Although the equipment Milky Way Star used was quite common, the legendary Summoner before him had actually obtained a nearly complete set of Demonic Apex Equipment, which was unbelievable.
It would take a pro at least three months to obtain a full set. Even if the rich players intend to purchase it with money, they needed at least ten days and a half.
The Demonic Apex Equipment Set and the Demon Tribe Commander Equipment Set were dropped in the same place. The Foreignland Entrance would drop three pieces, and the Demonic Forest would drop four other pieces. If one desired the entire set, he or she must farm monsters on those two maps.
Foreignland had only opened to the public a few days ago. The equipment worn by The Mountain was beyond description, it was simply unbelievable.
Li Yi believed that he was ahead of everyone, but he had not expected to meet such a character. His mind was unbalanced.
“I call for a truce. No one is going to fight; we’ll sit down and talk like civilized people. If we get on well and hit it off with each other, we will team up and fight side by side, just me and you, together! If we don’t, we’ll part on good terms, the truce still stands.”
The Mountain sat on the ground and waved at Li Yi. It seemed that he genuinely did not want to fight the latter but merely wanted a chat.
Li Yi raised his bow and shot an arrow at The Mountain.
Wham!
[-8744]
White characters appeared above The Mountain. His equipment set nullified a lot of damage.
Whoosh!
The arrow struck The Mountain. He rolled and the ground suddenly moved and instantly became sticky. The initially solid black soil beneath him disappeared, replaced by a mud-like substance from the swamps.
The Mountain drilled into the mud and disappeared. Li Yi used God Mode to fly and quickly escaped from the mud area.
Foreignland had a rule: if one stayed in the air for more than 6 seconds, it would be considered as flight. If this rule was breached, one would be forcibly ejected from the map.
The Mountain was certainly cunning. He had been summoning his beast as he was talking. If Li Yi had walked over instead of firing an arrow, he would not have been able to escape, whether he could fly or not.
His summon was the Swamp King. Once summoned, a bog would form and all players above it would be swallowed.
“The continent’s top Archer, truly remarkable.”
Beneath the mud, came the deep voice of The Mountain.
“Blazing Fields!”
Li Yi stretched an arm, and a fiery phoenix flew out of his Orange Quality Bow and into the bog.
The phoenix that consumed 100 points of Flame Energy plunged into the swamp, and it erupted into a sea of fire.
Ssst ssst—
The flames continued to burn. Numbers repeatedly appeared due to the damage. The Swamp King’s appearance was a swamp, but it was also a living thing. If set on fire, it would also get hurt and die as a result.
Due to the constant burning, the swamp area was rapidly reduced and eventually disappeared. The fire continued to rage, despite having nothing left to destroy.
The Mountain was exposed. He was not injured, but he eyed Li Yi with astonishment.
Li Yi fired up his Rocket Propellant and charged head-on towards The Mountain while releasing his Territory light barrier.
“Territory– Release!”
The light barrier swiftly surrounded The Mountain.
The Mountain hesitated for a second, then he turned and ran. His equipment set allowed The Mountain to move quickly, even with Li Yi’s 30 Holy attribute points.
Six pieces of the Demonic Apex Equipment Set would activate two hidden attributes, each of which added an additional 5 Holy attribute points, and with both activated he obtained an additional 10 points, in addition to the Holy attribute points on every single piece of his equipment. His total Holy attribute points was very much equal with Li Yi.
Whoosh!
Li Yi readied a Powered-up Arrow as he teleported towards The Mountain.
Although The Mountain was fast, within the barrier Li Yi could move to any position at any time. It was not difficult to intercept him.
Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr
A brutal Powered-up Arrow was released. The Mountain raised his Quarterstaff, using Soul Staff Technique, striking Li Yi on the wrist wrist.
[-1]
Li Yi’s arm shook, and his Powered-up Arrow altered its course, failing to hit The Mountain.
One had to say that the timing of his use of Soul Staff Technique was brilliant. Not too early, not too late. It came just in time to disrupt the trajectory.
Li Yi teleported a second time towards The Mountain. His body glittered as he fired random shots.
He could dodge a single Powered-up Arrow, but what about random shooting? There was no way he could dodge all of them.
Whoosh! Wham! Bam!
[-4567]
[-6778]
[-4556]
Damage values constantly floated on top of his head as he was hit. Territory Power could restrain all conventional forces. The Summoner’s Phantom Footprints which allowed 12-second invincibility was of no use at all. This was also why The Mountain did not cast it.
The Mountain had high HP. He endured Li Yi’s random shooting as he ran around and was not incapacitated. He drank a bottle of Sacred Tranquility and his HP rose.
Li Yi once again teleported and shot randomly. His newly acquired Sixth Piece of the Sacramental Stone Fragment provided an additional 30,000 mana. Additionally, he had an automatic mana recovery buff, a result of the Evil God Summoning Scroll. Even if he did not drink mana potions, it would last for some time.
At the end of another random shooting, The Mountain survived spectacularly. Wearing six pieces of the Demonic Apex Equipment Set had a considerably increased his total HP.
“Shoot at Random!”
The combination of Li Yi’s teleportation and random shooting did not take down The Mountain, even after two consecutive attempts. However, the third time’s the charm.
The Mountain fell to the ground.
After the fight, Li Yi’s light barrier had already shrunk by half. After several teleports, he had consumed more than half of his Territory Power. He was unable to maintain the maximum range of the barrier any longer.
Li Yi summoned his Ghost Crab and walked toward The Mountain’s body.
He did not think that The Mountain would die so easily. Li Yi had seen too many of his videos. The Mountain had faked his death and bounced back to victory at least a hundred times.
Five, four, three, two, one!
The Mountain’s body turned into a pile of silt.
This was the advanced version of the skill Switch: Life Exchange.
The special ability of the Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff permitted the summoning of an extra beast.
Li Yi might have killed the Swamp King earlier but had not noticed the second one. He deduced that The Mountain hid the other Swamp King just in case he was defeated, in order to use Life Exchange.
At the time of death, his life would be transferred from his body to his summoned beast. This was a Natural Summoner’s unique skill. If even Chen Yang knew it, the one known as the best of the best, The Mountain, would know it.
Where is he?
Li Yi widened his senses, and a small yellow dot appeared on the left edge of the minimap.
Saw you!
