Chapter 84: The Eighty-Fourth Day of the Server-Wide First Kill of Rahu in Game Development...

Tongtian spoke lightly, but when the Qingping Sword clashed with the God-Slaying Spear, the spear tip grazed Tongtian's robe as they met. The Qinglian Sword barely managed to dodge as well.

Luo Hou scoffed, "Hongjun's disciple is nothing special." After all, he was the one who created the Zhuxian Sword Formation, so he naturally knew its power and used all his strength when he attacked.

Furthermore, this world is his home turf, so the mere Tongtian is truly no match for him.

Seeing his attack miss and him instead struck by a spear, Tongtian showed no sign of discouragement. His fighting spirit intensified, and he charged forward again, sword in hand. Amidst the scattered sword flashes, the figure of Luo Hou was visible.

He grew stronger with each battle, achieving victory through unconventional tactics. The Heaven-Piercing Sword, imbued with an indomitable Daoist spirit, caused Rahu considerable trouble during their entanglement.

For a moment, Luo Hou's attention was completely focused on Tongtian, and he did not notice that the other seven Great Luo Golden Immortals had secretly reached an agreement, and the original Zhuxian Sword Formation changed again and again as they moved.

Yuanshi's expression was unfriendly, yet he still diligently directed the four malevolent swords to work in coordination with the four swords that reached the heavens. Laozi, meanwhile, stood atop the Taiji diagram, protecting the fellow Daoists present.

Jieyin and Zhunti, focused intently on chanting Buddhist scriptures, joined by ten thousand disciples in a bright flash. Amidst the chanting, the dense demonic energy surrounding Rahu had significantly diminished.

Tongtian seized the opportunity, wielding the Qingping Sword and thrusting it towards the weakest point of the demonic energy. He traded injury for injury, his torn sleeve leaving a bloody mark on Luo Hou's face.

"It's this moment." Luo Hou had a bad feeling, but the Great Luo Golden Immortal team, who had already prepared for the dungeon raid according to the strategy guide, would not let go of this excellent opportunity.

Lured by the blood of their enemies, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation grew ever more powerful. Zhen Yuanzi pulled out the Earth Book, severing Rahu's connection to this land; Hongyun took out a gourd and blew away the demonic barrier in the sky; Laozi's Taiji Diagram protected everyone perfectly; and Nuwa continued to play with her newly acquired Demon-Summoning Banner, a group of lesser demons flanking her as she activated the formation…

Suddenly, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and even Luo Hou, the boss, felt overwhelmed. He looked around and realized that Tongtian posed the greatest threat to him. However, he was currently restrained by the formation and could not do anything to Tongtian for the time being.

At this juncture, the best course of action is to break through one by one, first destroying this formation, and then properly tormenting this sword-wielding Tongtian. Luo Hou's mind raced, and he no longer wanted to entangle with Tongtian. Grasping the God-Slaying Spear, he turned away and aimed his blade at Fuxi, who was playing the zither nearby.

Tongtian wouldn't give him that chance. He blocked the spear tip with his Qingping Sword: "I've already said, your opponent is me."

Without the support of demonic energy and the advantage of home ground, Luo Hou was also harassed by minor demons; while Tong Tian, ​​on the other hand, was protected by his brother's Taiji Diagram and was also supported by the double Zhuxian Sword Formation. With the balance of power shifting, Tong Tian was actually the better choice.

The Qingping Sword, along with the eight other fierce swords beside it, all pierced towards Luo Hou. The tiny crack on Luo Hou's face quickly turned into a bloody mess on his body.

He couldn't beat Hongjun before, but now he can't even beat Hongjun's disciple. How will Luo Hou ever face anyone again?

Luo Hou's eyes turned red, a surge of ruthlessness welling up inside him. He'd already died once, so he didn't care about his life now. He planted the tip of his spear in the ground, and all the demonic and spiritual energy in the world rushed towards him. Even players without protective magic items had their life force drained by Luo Hou, wasting their once-a-day dungeon opportunity.

In the darkness, only Rahu's two red eyes could be seen. He was in the sky, on the ground, in the wind, and in the water. Rahu was omnipresent in this world, stirring up the wind and grass to surround all the players with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation at its center.

"Haha, a bunch of ignorant brats, do you really think I can't do anything to you? Go back and clean up Hongjun's mess." Luo Hou laughed arrogantly, wanting to kill all of Tongtian's people on the spot.

At this moment, Yuanshi, while maintaining the Zhuxian Sword Formation, took out the Jade Ruyi and smashed it fiercely towards Luo Hou.

The innate treasure was indeed extraordinary. It directly locked onto Luo Hou, who was still uttering threats, even though Luo Hou's ultimate attack was only halfway through. Tongtian, who had previously been unable to lock onto his opponent, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He used his body as a sword, wielding nine swords to entangle Luo Hou instead.

At this moment, Luo Hou's skills were in a lull, and in the heat of battle, Tongtian, with the cooperation of his fellow Daoists, successfully sent the Zhuxian Sword into its original owner's throat.

He gently drew his sword, and the bloodstains on the blade dispersed, leaving only Luo Hou's face filled with disbelief.

"You're taking a risk by ganging up on the few!" The usually unscrupulous demonic cultivator actually retorted that others were shameless, which made Hongjun, who had been watching, laugh.

Tongtian sheathed his sword and stroked his chin: "We're playing a game now, who wants to fight a boss one-on-one? Of course, it's a team fight! You'd be honored to die at the hands of the number one fighter!"

The death animation was short, and Rahu could only reluctantly lose control of his body. Meanwhile, the chanting sutras of Jieyin and Zhunti rushed over impatiently: "This is a treasure chest that can only be obtained by killing Rahu; it must contain many valuable treasures!"

As the dungeon clearing event began, an announcement resounded throughout the server: [Congratulations to Tongtian, Yuanshi, Laozi, Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, Nuwa, Fuxi, Jieyin, and Zhunti for successfully achieving the first kill of the Demon Ancestor Rahu dungeon. The Rahu dungeon's HP has been reduced by 5% across the entire server. Those who defeat the enemy will receive a certain amount of merit points and rewards such as mysterious treasure chests.]

After seeing the golden-red title of "Exorcising Demons and Protecting the Righteous Path" appear, Tongtian happily picked up the treasure chest and exited the game, leaving the Western disciples overjoyed as they shared the ten-pull that everyone had.

Zhunti, holding a string of prayer beads, said, “My brother and I each got a hundred consecutive draws, and the ten thousand disciples each got ten draws. In this way, we in the West have more than one hundred thousand draws, which is no less than the number of draws Hongyun got at the beginning. In addition, with the merit points we gained today, it’s time for the Primordial Purple Qi belonging to you and me, the two brothers, to arrive in our accounts.”

While the two Western disciples organizing the team were still tallying their rewards, the members of Wuzhuang Temple simply selected their rewards and returned to their temple. Jieyin and Zhunti didn't have that much influence to invite all six of them at once. It was just that Dapeng and Kong Xuan had explained the dungeon-running method to them in person, and they happened to stumble upon it during practice.

Now that they've succeeded, they naturally need to share their methods with the younger generation. It's surprising how insightful Yuan Yi's two disciples, despite their young age. Not only can they create strategies on the forum, but they can also tailor-make plans specifically for their seniors who are visiting Wuzhuang Temple.

Watching the wicked and ferocious Rahu being brutally beaten to the point of his soul being scattered under their formation, everyone present was in a good mood.

Tongtian, who was in charge of the main force, lifted Dapeng and Kong Xuan high in the air: "This battle is so exhilarating! It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying fight!"

Wielding the Qingping Sword and carrying the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Tongtian was so fierce that few in the prehistoric world could stand up to him head-on. Even when fighting Yuanshi, he had to hold back, otherwise he would have to face both his elder and second elder brothers at the same time and endure a double attack from his brothers.

This was the first time he had used the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation so thoroughly since he obtained it, and he was fighting against the first master of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the Demon Ancestor Rahu, who had fought his master to a standstill. How could the word "exhilarating" possibly describe this?

Tongtian tossed the roc and peacock high into the air, where the two small birds snatched the jade slip and transformed back into their original forms. This jade slip was homework assigned to them by their master, and they couldn't give up just because they were thrown into the air.

Fortunately, Tongtian knew what was good for him and put the two little birds down again. The two birds chirped and huddled together again, replaying the scene of their battle with Rahu right in front of them.

Tongtian, who was always interested in all things new and interesting, leaned closer and asked, "What are you doing?"

Dapeng was halfway through yawning when Tongtian startled him so much that he forced it back: "I'm doing the task my master assigned me."

"We will create combat videos of our senior masters to promote the gameplay of this game and let more players witness their heroic prowess."

A battle promotional video? Yuan Shi, who was standing far away exchanging words with Zhen Yuanzi, also became interested. When he first started playing games, the first thing he saw was also a game promotional video, which he still remembered vividly. He never imagined that he would be included in a promotional video himself.

Noticing the interested gazes of his senior brothers, Da Peng's initially startled heart calmed down: "Master instructed me that after the video is edited, I must show it to all my senior brothers. Only after they approve it can my senior brother and I publish it for publicity."

"Please, fellow disciples, take a look." As Dapeng spoke, Kong Xuan had already deftly finished the last two points. As soon as he finished speaking, he also very cooperatively sent a video to everyone present and took the initiative to play the video promotion on the big screen.

The video is extremely short. The camera zooms in from a distance, first focusing on the obviously evil demon Rahu, then widening its field of view to capture everyone present in the battle.

Next came the individual focus of the team: the holy light of Jieyin and Zhunti during purification, the composure of Fuxi playing the zither, the ethereal movement of Hongyun, and the might of Zhenyuanzi unleashing the Book of Earth. As Nuwa waved her demon-summoning banner and lashed out at Rahu with her snake tail, Laozi, wielding his cane, also launched a fierce attack, while Yuanshi, while stabilizing the formation, took out his jade ruyi.

The video showcases all the participants in the battle, demonstrating their undeniable power as Great Luo Golden Immortals. The most dazzling among them is Tongtian, who fights alongside Luo Hou. Accompanied by stirring music, the powerful aura of wielding a sword to cleave the world is naturally conveyed.

Tongtian nodded, quite satisfied with him. Indeed, he was a calm, steady, and invincible swordsman. Every move he made was perfectly timed, not only dealing massive damage but also drawing Luo Hou's aggro, creating opportunities for his teammates to attack.

He's strong, tough, and handsome, and he even comes with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. He said that the Tongtian card is the strongest card in the game!

Tongtian happily clicked on another video released along with the promotional video. The same visuals, the same lineup, only with a few lines of explanation. Clear markers on each scene indicated Tongtian as the main damage dealer, Laozi as the field-wide shield provider, Yuanshi as the crowd controller, and Jieyin and Zhunti as the healers and purifiers…

Kong Xuan and Da Peng retreated behind their senior masters, their youthful faces showing the composure of returning to their familiar territory: "This is a game strategy that I created by analyzing the combat videos of my senior masters. As long as we cooperate properly, even if we are not a Great Luo Golden Immortal, we may still be able to kill Luo Hou."

No, they just finished the game and haven't even opened the rewards yet, and they've already made a complete strategy video?

How can we raid without a raid group? We need not only the Great Immortal to lead the raid, but everyone should lead a raid, trying out different playstyles and giving Luo Hou a little bit of a shock to the players [sunglasses].
