Level is not enough, skills will make up for it. Chen Tian refused to believe he couldn't whittle this guy down. If Chen Tian's attack speed exceeded the opponent's healing speed, Chen Tian would have a chance to kill him. This was the only solution Chen Tian could think of. Chen Tian swung his long sword faster, and with each swing, countless sword energies and blades shot out. The sky was filled with sword energy and blades, covering the Ice Phoenix. The Ice Phoenix flapped its wings, unleashing a fierce cold current that formed a tornado. In front of the cold tornado, Chen Tian's blades and sword energy shattered one after another.
Chen Tian was not surprised that the opponent had many powerful skills. However, all skills had cooldowns. Chen Tian could attack during the cooldown period. As for Chen Tian's guess about cooldowns, of course they existed. But Chen Tian's mastery of swordsmanship allowed him to unleash blades and sword light anytime, anywhere, independent of cooldowns. When one reached a certain level of proficiency, the sword felt like an extension of oneself.
He could unleash any move he wished. Chen Tian was not afraid of the Ice Phoenix. He swung his long sword repeatedly, this time unleashing over a hundred sword lights. As these sword lights rushed towards the Ice Phoenix, they merged together to form a giant blade. The blade was at least three times faster than the small sword energies before. Chen Tian used the principle of stacking to combine the sword energies, significantly increasing their speed. As the blade was about to approach the Ice Phoenix, the Ice Phoenix's body was covered in ice crystal spikes. The spikes attacked from all directions, a type of area-of-effect skill.
Chen Tian had no choice but to defend, his long sword constantly slashing. He cut through the spikes one by one. Chen Tian's eyes possessed powerful dynamic vision. Even without divine eyes, Chen Tian's eyesight and combat experience were sufficient to handle any situation. Seeing Chen Tian easily resist his attack, the Ice Phoenix's expression turned solemn. Chen Tian was no longer surprised by this game, as the expressions were so realistic. He wondered what this game world would be like when it was completed.
The Ice Phoenix's claws displayed a cold glint as it charged from above. Chen Tian naturally dared not confront it directly. Chen Tian's health was already much lower than that of ordinary player bosses. It was best to avoid getting injured during combat. Chen Tian had chosen a special mode. Although he had mastery of all professions, leveling up did not increase any attributes. He needed to use upgrade points to improve them. This was difficult because attribute points for leveling up could only be obtained by killing bosses.
Or by completing special missions. Chen Tian could avoid injuries. His current total health was that of a glass cannon. The opponent's power was close to nine thousand, and one touch could halve Chen Tian's health.
Even if Chen Tian's health was calculated at the maximum level, he rolled away. The claw directly passed through where Chen Tian's head had been. The Ice Phoenix's attack failed this time. Unwilling to accept defeat, the Ice Phoenix accelerated its movements, but such speed was no different from normal speed in Chen Tian's eyes.
Chen Tian skillfully dodged. A voice echoed in his mind, but Chen Tian paid it no attention. During his fight with the Ice Phoenix, Chen Tian had created many skills. These were not skills Chen Tian considered powerful, but they appeared nonetheless.
Chen Tian and the Ice Phoenix faced each other, one in the sky, the other on the ground. The Ice Phoenix's health was slowly decreasing under Chen Tian's countless blades. Chen Tian's attack speed was hundreds of blades per second. Each blade dealt only one hundred damage, but their sheer number was immense. The Ice Phoenix was enveloped by the blades, and cracks appeared on its body. After a full fifty-five minutes of attrition, Chen Tian finally broke through the Ice Phoenix's defenses.
It took fifty-five minutes just to break its defenses. Chen Tian estimated it would take two days to kill the Ice Phoenix, and that was a conservative estimate. With its armor broken, the Ice Phoenix raised its head and roared. Ice crystals, cold currents, walls, and the ground all exploded, converging at the Ice Phoenix's maw. Ice crystals shimmered on its wings. Although made of ice, they were radiating light. Its wings flapped, and its gaze fixed on Chen Tian.
As its wings flapped, two cold winds swept from left and right, engulfing Chen Tian. There was no chance to dodge this attack. Chen Tian chose to endure it. This move sealed off all escape routes; it was an area-of-effect skill.
Chen Tian swung his long sword, constantly slashing around his body, creating phantom sword shadows. Seven or eight solid, rotating shadows wrapped around him. The attacks from the left and right were resisted by these phantom sword shadows. As long as Chen Tian kept moving, the phantom sword shadows would continue to rotate, and his defense would not cease.
Chen Tian persisted, and as each phantom sword shadow shattered, he immediately replaced it. Finally, when the skill duration ended, Chen Tian was unharmed. The Ice Phoenix's multiple skills had failed to defeat Chen Tian. The Ice Phoenix had no choice but to unleash its ultimate move. Chen Tian saw through the Ice Phoenix's intention. It was preparing its ultimate move, good!
Chen Tian closed his eyes, raised his long sword high, and visions of various sword arts flooded his mind. Chen Tian also intended to create an ultimate move, an ultimate move belonging to his swordmaster profession. Creating skills was common in the Era of Time and Space, but the higher the quality of a skill, the more powerful it was.
For example, the Ice Phoenix's skills were all Epic grade, and its ultimate move was Legendary, with not to be underestimated power.
While the Ice Phoenix was charging its ultimate move, Chen Tian created his own.
Creating skills was difficult for other players, but Chen Tian was different. In his memory, he had created races, created life forms, and created martial arts. Could creating a skill be more difficult than creating martial arts? Impossible. Chen Tian's mind instantly grasped the general information of the skill. He clasped the hilt of his long sword with both hands. Streams of wind emerged from beneath Chen Tian's feet, swirling around his sword.
The sword in Chen Tian's hand was entwined with wind currents. The wind currents beneath his feet spun to form a magic circle. Chen Tian stood within the circle, his figure remaining still like a log.
The Ice Phoenix's charge was nearing completion. A light gathered at its maw. The ice crystals on its body dimmed. This was its ultimate move, its most powerful attack. The Ice Phoenix opened its mouth, and an ice crystal beam shot out, engulfing Chen Tian. When the beam dissipated, Chen Tian's health had not decreased. No damage?
The Ice Phoenix was bewildered. This person had taken an ultimate move and was unharmed, not even losing health.
Strange! Strange!
Chen Tian twirled his long sword, and the magic circle beneath his feet rotated slightly, then drilled into the sword. Chen Tian swung his sword.
An ice crystal beam, identical to the previous one, shot out from the sword, covering the entire Ice Phoenix.
The Ice Phoenix stood its ground, waiting for the beam to approach. It was immune to ice, so what was the joke? Its own move wouldn't affect it.
Unfortunately for the Ice Phoenix, its thinking was flawed. This move carried not only ice attributes but also Chen Tian's sword attributes. Under this attack, the Ice Phoenix's body began to shatter, and its health plummeted. Chen Tian's awakened ultimate move was a counter-attack type skill.
This was also the move Chen Tian was most satisfied with. Fortunately, its cooldown was not long, only a few minutes.
The ice crystal beam was infused with Chen Tian's swordmaster attributes. The ice immunity was completely bypassed, though the damage remained the same. Thus, the Ice Phoenix was defeated by its own move.
