CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47, NOT RESPECTING MARTIAL VIRTUE, THIS MONSTER CAN CLIMB WALLS_1

After being attacked, the Double-Headed Kong turned towards Jiang Chen, and one ferocious head spewed out a column of fire. The massive column of flames surged toward Jiang Chen like an overwhelming tidal wave. Feeling the scorching heat, Jiang Chen executed a Flash in the Void to dodge to the right and unleashed a triple strike at the Kong.

Over 2,000 HP in damage numbers floated up above the Double-Headed Kong’s head.

Jiang Chen also considered charging the Double-Headed Kong with his Jianqi Zongheng, but regrettably, the Kong’s arms were abnormally long—a whole three meters. Within three meters, he was bound to suffer a Physical Attack, whereas his Jianqi Zongheng could only launch a surprise attack from two meters away. Although he had the Blood Colored Shield, he decided after some thought that there was no need to take such a risk.

This was only the sixth floor; there were still monsters on the seventh and eighth floors. He should use his trump cards sparingly, and the Blood Colored Shield was his biggest one. He wouldn’t use it until the very last moment. As long as he kept kiting the Double-Headed Kong and using his Triple Slash, he could eventually kill the BOSS, though it would take more time. Each sword strike dealt 3,000 HP damage; he estimated it would only take several dozen strikes to kill the BOSS.

Drawing a deep breath, Jiang Chen began to move around the Double-Headed Kong, adopting hit-and-run tactics to take down the boss.

After the forty-fifth sword strike...

The Double-Headed Kong fell to the ground, unwilling to accept its fate.

Jiang Chen exhaled a sigh of relief and stopped in his tracks.

Jiang Chen said, "Fatty, I don’t know what monster is on the seventh floor, but if its attacks are area-wide, you might die as soon as you enter."

"Having reached the sixth floor, we’ve already earned a lot of Score, enough to afford a private room!"

Jiang Chen was very clear on this: Fatty was only Level 16 and completely incapable of facing Level 28 monsters. A single blow would kill him instantly.

Wang Gang understood, "Boss, you have to hang in there and break through the tenth floor! Let them witness what a true Swordsman is."

WHOOSH...

A flash of white light, and Wang Gang left the Tower of Trial.

Jiang Chen looked towards the entrance to the seventh floor, took a deep breath, and entered.

...

A flash of white light, and Wang Gang appeared outside the Tower of Trial.

"He’s out; looks like he could only make it to the sixth floor."

"Reaching the sixth floor is pretty strong. In the whole Shenlong Academy, he’d be ranked near the top."

"Something’s not right, why did only one person come out? Weren’t there two of them?"

"Look, the seventh floor is glowing with white light; it seems that Swordsman has already entered the seventh floor."

"I remember the seventh floor having a poisonous creature capable of spreading poison gas. He definitely won’t make it through."

"How come this fatty is only Level 16? Clearly a dead weight."

Jiang Qiu looked at Fatty, who had come out, and asked, "Where’s my brother?"

"He went up to the seventh floor."

"Why didn’t you come out together?"

"My level is too low. I’d easily die if I encountered a monster, so I came out first. Don’t worry, Sister Jiang Qiu, our boss is very strong."

Alice nodded, "You made the right decision coming out. The seventh floor is home to a poisonous creature that can release poison gas that fills the entire area; anyone contaminated by the poison gas will certainly die. Jiang Chen should be out soon."

Alice turned to look at Hanna and smiled, "Hanna, where’s the Amber Blade?"

Reluctantly, Hanna pulled a Dagger from her Space and threw it to Alice. Alice caught it and then handed it to Jiang Qiu, "Here is the Dagger you’ve been yearning for, Diamond equipment."

Jiang Qiu held it in her hand but was inwardly worried about Jiang Chen.

She hoped that Jiang Chen was alright.

...

Seventh floor.

As soon as Jiang Chen entered, he felt the Blood Colored Shield losing HP continuously. Frowning, he noted it was decreasing by 1,000 HP every second.

[Blood Colored Shield: 600,000]

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, not using the Blood Colored Shield yet had been the correct choice. Losing 1,000 HP per second meant 10,000 in ten seconds, and 60,000 in a minute. In ten minutes, the Blood Colored Shield would be depleted. He had to finish the fight within ten minutes, or it would end prematurely for him.

[Blood Spider Demon (BOSS)]

[Level: 28]

[HP: 150,000/150,000]

[Physical Attack: 320-350]

[Magical Attack: 320-345]

[Physical Defense Power: 200-500]

[Magical Defense Power: 200-240]

A blood-red Spider Demon appeared before Jiang Chen, massive in size, five meters in length and height.

Jiang Chen performed a Flash in the Void and teleported next to the Blood Spider Demon.

His Jianqi Zongheng continuously attacked the Blood Spider Demon.

-100

-99

-78

A string of damage numbers floated above the Blood Spider Demon’s head. Seeing its HP steadily decrease was enough for Jiang Chen.

Attack frequency: once per 0.1 seconds. Damage per hit: 90. Number of hits: 100.

In one second, he dealt 9,000 HP damage, completely offsetting the toxic damage inflicted by the Blood Spider Demon. The Blood Colored Shield kept decreasing and then increasing again.

The increase rate was greater than the decrease rate.

It would only take about twenty seconds to instantly kill the Blood Spider Demon.

Jiang Chen stood under the Blood Spider Demon’s belly, his Jianqi Zongheng continually attacking, but in the next second, the Blood Spider Demon suddenly leaped and landed on the ceiling of the Tower of Trial floor.

It kept spitting poisonous gas from its mouth.

Jiang Chen was dumbfounded...

Jiang Chen: "You’re not fighting fair—come down here and face me one-on-one!"

Blood Spider Demon: "You’re the one who should come up here!"

The Blood Spider Demon looked down on Jiang Chen from the ceiling, its rear shooting a web at him, but Jiang Chen’s figure flashed, dodging the web attack.

Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed. Now that he couldn’t rely on Jianqi Zongheng, he had to use his Basic Sword Arts’ Triple Slash to attack the Blood Spider Demon.

Jiang Chen sent a Sword Qi soaring into the sky, hitting the Blood Spider Demon.

-1,000...

-1,000...

-888...

This damage is wrong! Why is there such a big difference? How come Jianqi Zongheng only deals 99, while this Sword Qi deals so much? Is something wrong?

Jiang Chen thought for a moment. His previous attack method was wrong. The Blood Spider Demon was five meters tall, and Jianqi Zongheng’s range was two meters, meaning it was attacking the Blood Spider Demon’s legs. The legs’ Physical Defense Power was very high, so the damage taken was limited—only 99 HP. His Triple Slash, however, was hitting the Blood Spider Demon’s rear.

Jiang Chen, without a second thought, drew his sword again and attacked the Blood Spider Demon’s hindquarters.

Fortunately, the Blood Spider Demon’s rear was large enough that he didn’t need to aim deliberately.

SLICE...

Several more Sword Qi attacks followed.

Blood Spider Demon: "You’re not fighting honorably—attacking my rear...!"

The Blood Spider Demon moved quickly to dodge, its eight appendages scurrying across the ceiling. Although its speed wasn’t fast, Jiang Chen rarely managed to hit it.

Jiang Chen was extremely frustrated. How great it would be if he had changed class to an Angel and could fly! Flash in the Void couldn’t teleport him mid-air; he could only move on the ground.

This led to a rather awkward spectacle.

The Blood Spider Demon roamed on the ceiling, constantly spewing poison gas, while Jiang Chen followed underneath, targeting its rear.

A few minutes later...

The Blood Spider Demon fell to the ground, unwilling to accept its defeat.

Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the Blood Colored Shield, which still had 300,000 HP, he wondered, Will this be enough to last until the 10th floor?

Jiang Chen moved on to the next level.

8th floor.
