Chapter 1458: Chapter 493: The Gap Between Heroes and Masters, Trial Passage
Cao Xing nodded slightly, then said, “Alright, let’s go over there.”
Everyone proceeded towards the wide stone gate.
After passing through a two to three meter passage, the scene before them suddenly became clear.
Ahead, there was a vast hall, like a gigantic underground palace.
Hundred-meter tall stone pillars stood upright, supporting the entire palace.
A thin layer of mist enveloped the surroundings, causing the view ahead to be somewhat blurry.
And at the edge of their vision, they once again saw a gigantic stone gate.
The stone gate was tightly closed, engraved with complex patterns and symbols, exuding an ancient sense of heaviness.
And in the area by the entrance, there stood two beings clad in war armor, holding longswords.
They stood there quietly, motionless, like two steel-cast sculptures.
However, the aura emanating from them was extremely terrifying!
Far exceeding the ordinary seventh-order creatures, their powerful oppressive force kept coming forth.
Cao Xing glanced at their attributes.
[Sword Tomb Guardian—1]
[Level: 80 (Eighth Rank Leader Level Creature)]
[Life Value: 6476125/6476125]
[Attack Power: 21623~22515]
[Armor: 5167~5296]
[Skill: Heroic Swordsmanship, Moonfall Slash, Water Cutting, Flowing Wind Slash, Sword Unsheathing]
[Talent: Sword Affinity]
[Status: Summon Creature]
…
“Goodness, two eighth-rank leader level creatures?”
“And there are actually two of them, these gatekeepers are really formidable!”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing looked at them somewhat skeptically, then asked, “Are you sure you have a way to restrain such powerful creatures?”
“And then sneak inside to steal the legacy?”
Upon hearing Cao Xing’s question.
The three people present fell silent.
Only by truly facing the enemy before them could they feel the terror of such creatures!
It was a power far exceeding master-level strength!
Moreover, heroic-level creatures become heroes not only because of their immense destructive power but also their unparalleled mobility.
Their speed was simply too fast.
Even if you have skills to restrain such powerful creatures, it’s useless if you can’t hit them.
Even Bai Zhi didn’t dare to guarantee the ability to defeat such level enemies.
After a moment, Cheng Lu sighed, “We indeed underestimated heroic-level creatures.”
“The chances of controlling these two guardians at the gate are very small, a careless move might cost us our lives!”
Saying this, he glanced at the swordsman beside him.
“Damn it, almost got tricked by Wei Jianyi!”
Wei Jianyi shrugged, “I told you this mission was very dangerous.”
“I didn’t have high hopes from the start, as long as we clear ten stone rooms, we can exit anytime.”
“So, are we choosing to retreat?”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze towards that man.
Whether to continue the challenge or to retreat, only he could decide.
Cao Xing nodded slightly, “Continue.”
“Two level 80 leaders, their strength is actually similar to the six level 70 commanders in the tenth secret room.”
“The difference is that their attack is stronger, speed is faster, and range is wider, that’s all.”
Upon hearing this, everyone at the scene twitched their mouths.
Is it really just that’s all?
You must know, an incremental transformation is an overall improvement.
Including attack, speed, reaction ability, life force, defense, etc.
For them, an even 10% enhancement in basic attributes is quite noticeable.
After various skill and equipment enhancements, this 10% can elevate a person’s strength another notch.
And now, the gap between eighth rank and seventh rank is, however, 100%, and some special attributes would also be activated.
And Cao Xing said directly, “Blom, Assam, continue forward.”
Upon hearing the command, these two held a giant shield with a longsword, and charged forward.
The two guardians also saw the figures of the two men.
Their originally calm expressions instantly turned battle-ready.
“Intruders, die!”
They raised the longswords in their hands and launched an attack across hundreds of meters at Assam and the others.
“Swish! Swish!”
Two stunning sword qi appeared, slashing towards Assam and Blom.
A layer of their holy shield shattered, yet their steps did not falter.
Being master-level creatures, they could not achieve such a large attack range and could only close the distance to fight.
Meanwhile, the two sword tomb guardians remained expressionless, slashing out sword qi one after another.
“Crash!”
Each sword qi was like a roaring giant dragon, weaving through the air with fangs and claws, cutting hundred-meter long ravines into the ground!
Assam and the others neither dodged nor avoided.
The three layers of holy shields above their heads shattered entirely within a second.
Those sword qi landed on them, and despite being reduced by armor and various skills, they still inflicted one to two thousand damage each.
If the transformation of the seventh rank were merely faster attack speed.
Then the eighth rank would not only be fast but with a skyrocketing attack range!
While the seventh rank could perform one slash in a given time, the eighth rank could manage two slashes, with a more terrifying attack range.
A casual sword qi could sweep across a hundred meters.
This is why eighth-rank level creatures are capable of city destruction.
Such level masters, with just their normal attacks, contain massive destructive power.
Paired with a series of big skills, they can turn a prosperous city into ruins in a short time.
Not to mention those eighth-rank great mages, like Cao Xing, who could now cast a forbidden curse to destroy a city, other mages have this ability too.
