Attack power: 40-60
Defense value: 15-20
Health Points: 4500
Skills: Swift as the Wind, Enrage, Vulnerable
Swift as the Wind: Accelerates forward a short distance, and the next attack deals 200% of attack power as damage.
Vulnerable: Corrodes the wounds of a single enemy target, giving them the Vulnerable status. Units affected by Vulnerable will take x more damage each time they are affected (this effect can stack).
Du Mingna saw the strangely shaped infected leader taking a picture to collect information. With a grim expression, she told everyone that she couldn't see the specific values and that they should be careful.
Liu Nian did see it, but he couldn't reveal it.
Knowing that she was a special infected person, she didn't plan to get involved. She was from a humble background and didn't seek merit, but only to avoid making mistakes.
Unfortunately, the Buddha-Slaying Demon did not do as she wished, its deep green pupils fixed on Ye Muli.
When Ye Muli saw the special infected person staring at him, he was so frightened that he stood there frozen, feeling as if he could not breathe and that someone was choking him.
Seeing Ye Muli's face turn deathly pale with fright, Liu Nian took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Muli.
What kind of skill is it to scare children? Come and play with me!
A large shadow fell in front of Ye Muli, which relieved him. He came to his senses and realized it was Liu Nian standing in front of him. He looked at Liu Nian's back with a mixture of gratitude and worry: "Brother Nian..."
“You should call me Uncle…” Liu Nian stared at the Buddha-slaying ghost in front of him and replied in a flat tone, as if he were talking about something like the nice weather today.
I'm a whole cycle older than you, why are you calling me "brother"?
Ye Muli was infected by Liu Nian's relaxed words and seemed less afraid. She whispered, "Be careful, Brother Nian."
"Don't worry!" Liu Nian didn't care how the other person addressed her, her tone as calm as ever.
Seeing Liu Nian step forward, Du Mingna was both excited and worried. She said from behind Liu Nian, "Don't be reckless," and told Tang Tongbi to keep an eye on Liu Nian's health.
The surrounding mercenary groups breathed a sigh of relief when they saw someone step forward.
They were all small mercenary groups; neither Tadumina nor she could handle them.
Leaving them unchecked is not an option either; these special infected individuals whose levels are unclear are no joke, as their destructive power is astonishing.
They were also determined not to interfere, and if any mercenary groups were accidentally selected, they could only blame their bad luck.
The prerequisite for coveting its loot is that you can defeat it, and if you can defeat it, you wouldn't still be a small mercenary group.
Those blind and arrogant mercenary groups have been thoroughly subdued by the lessons of the apocalypse.
It would be best if someone went to meet the challenge.
Although they were still fighting off attacks from ordinary infected individuals, they were all secretly keeping an eye on the situation on this side.
It's rare to see someone who can simultaneously pull away three infected individuals of a higher level than themselves, and the fact that they don't even have a shield makes it even more absurd.
Comparisons inevitably lead to hurt feelings. Look at others, then look at my own Shield Guards, tsk tsk!
Some of the more ambitious captains glanced disdainfully at their own shield guards, while others looked at Liu Nian with a burning desire.
At the same time, a hint of jealousy arose in his heart. He wondered what had happened to him that he had managed to recruit such a good member.
Looking at Du Mingna's beautiful face, he knew there must be something going on, and at the same time, he secretly resented himself for not being a girl.
No, we need to find out more about this person. Of course, it would be even better if we could recruit him!
Perhaps gold always shines. Liu Nian felt that she had tried her best to suppress her strength, but she still felt that she was too high-profile.
His back was sweating slightly, which was noticed by the people behind him. They were looking at him like they were looking at Tang Sanzang, which made him a little uneasy.
Especially those pot-bellied, greasy middle-aged men, you better look away. My sexual orientation is normal, don't make me beat you up!
Getting back to the main point, since he is a special infected person who has advanced from an ordinary infected person, his physical form is roughly the same as that of an ordinary infected person.
But unlike them, the Buddha-slaying demon's entire chest cavity was completely ruptured, with several ribs sticking out like barbs, revealing the empty shell inside.
Moreover, countless disgusting tumors covered its entire back, and another pair of arms grew out of nowhere below its armpits. The four extremely disproportionate arms made it look very bizarre overall.
The Buddha-Slaying Demon was somewhat enraged by the person who had come to provoke him.
It was enjoying the atmosphere of fear around it when the man's arrogant expression made it very unhappy.
Since this man is so tactless, then I, the Buddha, will teach him a lesson in manners.
Several of them sped out of the field ridges, rushing straight towards Liu Nian like a phantom. At this moment, they had already activated their speed as fast as the wind, and the others could not see their figures at all.
Exclamations of surprise rang out from the surrounding area; it was actually an agile type of infected.
If it's a high-intensity infected person, it's a bit better; at most, they'll have to pay a price, but it's not like they can't be fought off.
Agile infected individuals are different; they cannot be detected by the naked eye.
How do you fight an unseen enemy?
As the monster suddenly vanished, they secretly hoped it wasn't heading their way.
Perhaps the prayers of those around him were successful, but the Buddha-killing demon's target was Liu Nian, who was standing alone.
Liu Nian ignored the exclamations around him, his eyes fixed on the movements of the Buddha-Slaying Demon.
Its agility attribute should be higher than his own, but as long as it can be detected by the naked eye, Liu Nian chanted the Slowing Technique in a low voice.
The sounds of battle around him provided perfect cover. As Liu Nian watched the four claws of the Buddha-Slaying Demon attack simultaneously, he turned to the side and used the Slowing Technique to accurately envelop the Buddha-Slaying Demon.
Since speed is your strength, let's weaken your speed first.
Moving while casting reduces Liu Nian's movement speed, but Liu Nian successfully deflects the vital attacks of the Buddha-Slaying Demon. Only the first hit is hit, triggering its skill effect, which deals double damage to Liu Nian and inflicts a vulnerable status.
If it were someone else, and all four hands attacked simultaneously without being blocked by the shield, they could be taken down in one combo due to vulnerability and attacks.
Unfortunately, it encountered Liu Nian, and the remaining three attacks were blocked by the protection of the chest armor, so the vulnerability effect was not triggered.
Even after removing the defensive attributes of the chest armor, the other attacks failed to cause serious damage, barely breaking through the shield formed by the protection.
As they passed each other, the Buddha-Slaying Demon was still adjusting to the discomfort caused by the slowing effect of the Slowing Technique, but an icy arrow was already hurtling towards it from afar.
It turned out that the usually quiet Ice Mage, Tranquil, had suddenly unleashed her power.
Although she didn't know why the Buddha-Slaying Ghost suddenly slowed down, it was a good opportunity. If her Frost Arrow hit it, it would provide conditions for Liu Nian to pull the monster.
Moreover, the timing of their passing was perfect; the Buddha-Slaying Demon's back was facing the mercenary group, so the Frost Arrow hit the bullseye.
As the Frost Arrow struck it, it also inflicted a layer of frost on the Buddha-Slaying Demon, causing damage while simultaneously reducing its attack speed and movement speed.
Liu Nian saw all of this and, while inwardly cheering "Well done!", he continuously cast layers of debuff spells.
The Buddha-Slaying Ghost, whose attributes had been completely degraded by Liu Nian's curse, was dumbfounded. He had only come to show off, but he didn't expect to run into such a tough opponent.
Unable to escape or outrun, Liu Nian multitasked, unleashing the bone spear to inflict additional damage during the brief intervals between successful longsword attacks.
To onlookers, it appeared to be sword energy emanating from Liu Nian, further solidifying the identity of the Demon Swordsman.
At this moment, Du Mingna also quietly approached and started a throat choke. The Black Buddha Ghost applied a bleeding effect, which would cause the user to continuously lose health over the duration of the effect.
As for why not use a sneak attack? Ordinary special infected and elite infected and above are immune to the dizziness effect, so why take the risk?
It's important to know that these skills can only be used before breaking stealth; once stealth is broken, you can only use other skills.
Therefore, assassins who can turn invisible and assassins who can't are completely different professions.
Seeing this, Ye Muli behind him also bravely launched a charge, moving behind the Buddha-Slaying Demon and unleashing a heroic strike.
Having been attacked repeatedly, the Buddha-Slaying Demon, who was not known for his defense, came to the end of his life of trying to show off but failing, and successfully transformed into experience points for the Growth Hate Separation Mercenary Group.
Du Mingna was overjoyed, feeling as if she had found a treasure when she looked at Liu Nian. But her hands didn't stop; she grabbed the items dropped by the Buddha-Slaying Ghost.
After Liu Nian and the others finished dealing with the Buddha-Slaying Ghost, the infected in the surrounding area were almost cleared out. After the people in front gave the order to set off, the mercenary group embarked on their journey again.
