“Is he really going to pass it?!” Sia gazed at Fang Qi’s screen in a daze.

“This sword technique is indeed powerful, and the shop owner’s control of it is very good.” Luo Piaoling shook his head and said in a grim voice, “But… It isn’t so easy to defeat a boss at King Difficulty Level!”

Now that Fang Qi achieved tremendous strength growth after advancing to a subclass and obtaining level 20 equipment, everyone knew that the boss wouldn’t be able to heal its injury faster than Fang Qi’s attacks.

But the battle wouldn’t be short.

From the looks of it, it was possible that Fang Qi would defeat the boss. However, Luo Piaoling couldn’t forget his feeling of desperation and powerlessness when he faced the boss. The zombie king boss could emit extremely chilling energy which would slow the players’ movements.

More importantly, when players were attacking, the chilling energy could suddenly erupt inside their bodies. The consequences were fatal. Many players who had been struck by this chilling energy while they were attacking were bitten by the zombie king on the neck.

The players’ life in this game was not digitized. It was the same as the real world.

Without digitalized bodies, once their necks were broken, the players would certainly die if they didn’t have teammates who could rescue them.

In other words, except for long-range classes, all the close-range classes were at a disadvantage, and the players must attack with caution.

If the zombie king could make the battle last, Fang Qi would die even if the zombie king couldn’t hit him with its attacks.

Bosses at King Difficulty Level were notorious for their high defense and HP. Even if the zombie king just stood there and let the players attack it, it probably could last long enough to freeze Fang Qi to death.

Except for berserkers, all other classes would have difficulty attacking, dodging, and defending when their HP was low. In fact, the zombie king didn’t have to freeze Fang Qi to death since he wouldn’t be able to dodge its attacks when his physical condition deteriorated.

Fang Qi seemed to know this danger since he first killed the ordinary zombies around the zombie king instead of allowing them to gather.

The zombie king moved much faster than ordinary zombies. As everyone knew, most zombies had no intelligence.

Fang Qi used the zombie king’s fast speed and lured it out of the group of zombies. Then he killed all the ordinary zombies…

“Look! He’s charging at it!”

Some players yelled in surprise as Fang Qi dashed up neatly with Drive Slash.

At the third step, he passed the zombie king. With a flash of sword light, he left a deep wound in its side.

“He is using this sword technique again!?” The sword light created by the double-handed lightsabre danced, and the zombie king, with its back to Fang Qi, didn’t have the chance to turn around. It stumbled and almost fell at the force of the sword light several times.

The boss didn’t have time to strike back!

Despite all this, Luo Piaoling still didn’t change his opinion. Once the extremely chilly energy erupted in his body, Fang Qi would have to stop his attacks. As close to the zombie king as he was now, he would receive a destructive blow!

“Ugh? How come the shop owner switched to a great sword?!” On the screen, people saw Fang Qi suddenly taking out a giant great sword and viciously striking the zombie king. The latter couldn’t remain standing anymore and was about to fall.

Then, the Drive Slash which connected three times knocked it down completely.

The greatsword left a line of blinding sparks on the ground before slashing upward with force.

Losing its balance, the zombie king was thrown high up into the sky.

Fang Qi’s huge sword technique was learned from Cloud. With this heavy sword, it was easier for him to toss up his opponent compared to thin swords such as the lightsaber.

Fang Qi put more force into his arms and tossed the zombie king into the air vertically with tremendous strength.

Then, he leaped into the air swiftly.

“Will the shop owner use Cloud’s technique?!” Seeing this move, someone exclaimed.

“I think it’s the technique that Sephiroth used to toss up Cloud!”

“Mr. Fang switched his weapon again!”

Fang Qi returned to the lightsabre and struck twice using Moonlight Slashes from the air!

However, the Moonlight Slashes struck nothing.

“He missed?!” Everyone stared at the scene in bafflement, wondering if Fang Qi had missed his target this time after striking the boss many times before.

“No!” Luo Piaoling said, “He did it on purpose!”

Nalan Hongwu said, “Since there are no techniques which has the same effects as Heavy Fall in the game, he used the Moonlight Slash to accelerate his fall!”

[TL Note: Heavy Fall is a martial art technique where people can drop from the air faster.]

Sure enough, Fang Qi landed on the ground before the zombie king and used Secret Sword Art again!

The force of the sword wasn’t huge, but it had the right force to stop the zombie king from falling.

“Dodge! Dodge! Or defense!” Sia looked more impatient than the boss itself.

“How come the boss became so stupid?!” Even if it couldn’t dodge, it could parry with its arms to disrupt Fang Qi’s attacks so that he couldn’t combo.

The boss wasn’t an ordinary zombie and had a certain level of intelligence. Besides, a boss in a dungeon at King Difficulty Level wouldn’t be so dumb as to get beaten without fighting back.

At this moment, Fang Qi struck upward, so his force was also headed upward. If the zombie king couldn’t dodge these attacks, it couldn’t fall to the ground.

Although this game simulated reality and the players didn’t have digitized bodies, making the game more difficult to play, the players had a greater degree of freedom in this game!

“How come it is acting this way…?”

“Is the zombie king stupid?!”

Some audience began to complain.

“This is…” Nalan Mingxue suddenly typed some words into the current channel, [Is this… Vanishing Steps?!]

In Dungeon Fighter Online, players would turn into the form of ghosts if they didn’t return to the city after death. In this state, they could chat.

Nalan Mingxue suddenly remembered a story about games that Mr. Fang had told them long ago.

In the story, Fang Qi mentioned that one could attack from the opponents’ blind spots, and it was impossible for the opponents to dodge or block!

That wasn’t a skill in the game but a special technique.

“You mean… the Vanishing Steps as in the King’s Avatar?!” Xu Zixin exclaimed, also remembering that Mr. Fang had once told them an advanced technique only godlike players could use.

A long time had passed since Fang Qi told the story, and Nalan Mingxue had taken it as a story, thinking that it could only happen in stories.

But now, Mr. Fang seemed to be using it?!

They looked closer and found that Fang Qi indeed moved into the zombie king’s blind spots of vision. From the viewpoint of the zombie king, Fang Qi was totally concealed in the shadows as if he were invisible!

Is he really using Vanishing Steps?!

Fang Qi had told them about the technique in a story, but now he was using it before their eyes!

This feeling was completely different!
