The position of Jiang Kai's attack happened to be exactly where Ouyang Yi had torn open the bark.
The Yama Order drilled crazily into the Demon King's leg.
"Life Chaser, Overlimit Shot! Combined Form!" Jiang Kai would not miss such an opportunity and continued to unleash fierce attacks on the BOSS.
After several consecutive strikes, the BOSS suddenly let out a roar and directly broke free from its stiffened state.
Jiang Kai's eyes widened as he urgently roared at his companions, "Fall back, it's entering the first stage!"
In the distance, Zhou Ting looked at her younger sister in disbelief. "They… they only have this few people attacking, and they pushed it into the first stage within five minutes?"
Zhou Chan said in shock, "Four minutes and twenty-seven seconds to enter the first stage, and Jiang Kai only attacked four or five times!"
Just as the two were stunned by the terrifying attack power of Lord God's side, Zhou Chu roared angrily at Jiang Kai, "Jiang Kai, stop holding back! We can't hold on much longer over here!"
"Holding back?!" Zhou Chan's eyes widened even more.
"Got it, Old Zhou!" Jiang Kai responded from afar.
And the members of Lord God had already been completely convinced by Hu Yan's strength.
Luckily, Lord God still had over a hundred War God level experts. As long as their defensive line held, they could still last for a while.
"Minister Hu is already this strong? Truly worthy of being China's number one feng shui master! That move just now was way too fierce!"
"So handsome! The guild leader really didn't lie to us. Any profession has hope of becoming a super powerhouse! I'm also a feng shui practitioner. Maybe one day, I can be like Minister Hu, descending like a god!" Ding Jian was so excited that tears streamed down his face. "One day I also want to be like Minister Hu, summoning wind and rain, controlling heaven and earth!"
At the same time, the Demon King had already activated its first stage skill, Life Drain!
Soft vines hanging down from the giant banyan tree shot out in all directions like pythons with eyes.
Everyone hurriedly retreated while cutting the vines with sword qi.
Only Ruan Yu, upon seeing so many vines, became unusually excited.
"Binding? I like it!" As she spoke, she was about to charge over.
Hu Yan quickly used the Wind Speech Spell to move this lunatic away.
"Little Hu, why are you stopping me from enjoying happiness!"
Hu Yan had a black line on his forehead. Fortunately, he was already used to this kind of thing.
After the first stage opened, everyone else had to keep their distance and use sword qi as their main method of attack.
Otherwise, once entangled, it was said that the Demon King's recovery speed would become extremely exaggerated, and the stamina drained earlier would quickly recover.
The others' task was to avoid Life Drain and attack the Demon King from afar with sword qi, while Jiang Kai's task was even more arduous.
He had to drag the BOSS into the second stage as quickly as possible.
"Delusional Dream, Speed Boost! Land of the Godless!" Jiang Kai immediately activated two states. His speed surged as he used Battle the Eight Wastes to rapidly dodge the vines shooting at him from all directions.
"Tempered Life Chaser!"
Countless vines moved at high speed. Jiang Kai's figure was like a ghost, weaving through the narrow gaps.
Even though Jiang Kai was already fast enough, there were still many times when vines left marks on the Regenerative Armor.
Fortunately, the Regenerative Armor could repair itself, and the armor was not rendered useless.
While frantically dodging, Jiang Kai's attacks did not slow down. Instead, they became even fiercer than before.
The wound torn open by Ouyang Yi was extremely important. No branches would grow at that spot to block attacks, and there was no need to penetrate anything to damage the Demon King.
Under Jiang Kai's ferocious assault, this time it only took 4 minutes and 02 seconds for the BOSS to enter the second stage.
"Roar!" the Demon King roared angrily.
Zhou Chan shouted loudly at Jiang Kai, "Be careful, the second stage is here!"
Just as Zhou Chan's words fell, the Demon King's lower limbs suddenly plunged into the ground beneath it. Immediately after, the earth shook violently. The ground was like boiling water, crazily jumping up and down!
Second stage, Root Burial!
This skill was a large area attack. The key was not how to dodge it, but how to avoid the members of Lord God being killed by the Demon King!
Last time, Xuanwu was wiped out by this very move.
Zhou Ting looked anxiously at Jiang Kai. If this move could not be countered, then even if Jiang Kai and a few experts could escape, with everyone else wiped out, it still would not count as a victory for Lord God.
At some point, a card had already appeared in Jiang Kai's hand.
Holding the card between two fingers, Jiang Kai slightly narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Temper!"
Red flames immediately ignited on the card.
"Earth God Order! Earth Eruption!"
As Jiang Kai threw out the Earth God Order, the divine order instantly sank into the ground.
In just a moment, right as the Demon King's roots burst out of the ground, the remaining area of the Demon King suddenly erupted with blazing flames!
This pillar of fire had a diameter of forty to fifty meters. Flames shot into the sky, and soil and rocks, bathed in the fire, seemed to turn into magma, surging nearly a hundred meters into the air!
At the instant Earth Eruption occurred, the Demon King's enormous body was actually lifted up by the fire pillar!
When the Demon King was blasted out of the ground, its root system could be clearly seen, extremely terrifying. Countless roots connected to the ground, wrapped in flames, like tens of thousands of tentacles!
Although Earth Eruption did not immediately burn through the Demon King's roots, it completely prevented it from using them to kill players.
Moreover, such a ferocious flame attack had an exceptionally terrifying offensive power.
Two to three minutes after the Demon King was blasted upward, it directly entered the third stage!
The power of Earth Eruption had been exhausted. The Demon King's withered black body returned to the ground, and at the first moment, it once again plunged its roots into the earth.
Third stage, something even Xuanwu had never seen!
Only to see countless particles scatter down from the crown of the Banyan Demon King.
"It's spore parasitism!" Zhou Chan's device, through data analysis and comparison with past BOSS skills, immediately reached a conclusion. "Be careful, don't let these spores touch you!"
Zhou Chu immediately let out a low shout. "Protect Lord God's people. Activate true qi shields!"
On Lord God's side, it was almost one fourth stage paired with one War God. For ancient martial War Gods, not knowing how to use true qi would be embarrassing to even call themselves ancient martial inheritors. For them, protecting a single target was completely trivial.
But other sects were in trouble, after all, not every team could have such a luxurious lineup.
When some spores touched the bodies of certain low level players, those spores clung to them like glue and quickly drilled into their bodies.
Immediately after, the spores broke through the skin and red sprouts grew out of their bodies, rapidly growing.
And the nutrients required for the spores' growth were precisely these people's flesh and blood, which could also be understood as stamina.
Once parasitized by spores, even teams with healers had no way to intervene. They could only watch helplessly as the spores grew and the players withered away.
Screams rang out endlessly around them. Seeing the tragic state of the other sects, He Shishi hurriedly said to Zhou Chu, "Guild Leader Zhou, can your War Gods form a true qi defense formation?"
"Yes. You want to help them?"
He Shishi nodded. "They're all Chinese. This BOSS battle is also for all of China. We can't watch them die miserably and do nothing."
Zhou Chu looked at He Shishi again and nodded repeatedly. "Worthy of being someone Jiang Kai trusts. Seems there's a reason he handed Lord God over to you."
"Don't worry. My Qingyun Guild will definitely cooperate fully!"
"Thank you, Guild Leader Zhou." After receiving Zhou Chu's response, He Shishi immediately shouted to the others, "Come here quickly!"
Zhou Chu also ordered his disciples to form a defensive circle to resist spore parasitism.
Over there, people were already terrified by the Demon King's move. Seeing He Shishi speak up, they all ran over like mad.
"Brother, move a bit, give me some space!"
"Damn, this skill is too terrifying. Touch it once and you die! Even healers can't save you!"
"Big brother, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, our guild would've been basically wiped out except for the War Gods."
The Demon King activating spore parasitism forced the guilds to enter defensive circles. This resulted in large numbers of ordinary, elite, general, and lord level tree demons being left unchecked, and they all pounced toward Jiang Kai and the others at the same time!
"Oh no, Jiang Kai and the others are in danger!" Zhou Chu's eyes widened.
At this moment, Jiang Kai seemed to have guessed their concerns and shouted over, "Shishi, Old Zhou, well done! Just protect yourselves!"
"Old Hu, is there a way to deal with these spores? Old Zhao and the others don't have qi-gong gems!"
Jiang Kai, Hu Yan, and Ruan Yu had qi-gong gems, but the others did not. They had to use true qi to protect themselves, but doing so meant they could not attack.
"Captain Kai, leave it to me." Hu Yan gave a firm answer.
As he spoke, Hu Yan raised both hands into the air. Violent winds surged around them. "Wind Speech Spell, Wind Armor!"
Zhao Tiequan, Ouyang Yi, Four Seasons Flower, Sun Yuan, Liu Xuefei, Wang Zhong, and Ye Qingwu were instantly wrapped in small whirlwinds.
Although the spores were dense and penetrated everywhere, they were completely helpless against Wind Armor.
With Wind Armor's protection, they were finally freed from a purely defensive state.
"Captain Kai, I have to control the Wind Armor now. What about the other mobs?" Hu Yan shouted.
"Leave it to us. We should be able to hold them for a while!" Zhao Tiequan said.
Jiang Kai was worried. There were too many mobs, and just a few of them were not enough.
Unless…
After thinking it over, Jiang Kai was extremely reluctant, but in the end, he could only compromise.
"Old Hu, release Ruan Ghost!"
The moment Hu Yan removed the wind restraints on Ruan Yu, he heard Ruan Yu shout angrily, "I, Ruan Yu, have never been inferior to anyone in my life!"
"Holy crap, so many tree holes. The source of happiness is about to explode!"
