Chapter 289: The Might of Gathering Momentum!

Yang Ling looked for the previous options, but they had already disappeared. Clearly, he had no choice left.

The next second, he threw another flying dagger.

The Quenched-Gold Armor-Piercing Flying Dagger struck a spot of light on the White Bone Demon King with pinpoint accuracy.

The White Bone Demon King simply stood there in place, letting the flying dagger land on its body.

The flying dagger was easily deflected, causing no damage at all.

Yang Ling refused to believe it and threw another dagger at it.

This time, he didn't aim for any of the twelve weak points on the White Bone Demon King's body.

The flying dagger landed on the White Bone Demon King and was still deflected.

It was as if the Divine Realm had granted the White Bone Demon King immunity to ranged attacks.

"This isn't just ranged attack immunity—its HP is completely invisible now. That means... the only way to defeat it is to break all twelve weak points on its body..."

"Hahaha, little bug, this is this king's true strength!"

The White Bone Demon King laughed uproariously:

"Now, are you willing to kneel and beg for mercy?"

[Will you kneel and beg for mercy?]

[Yes / No]

Yang Ling patted Little White:

"Little White, if my health drops to zero later, you have to save me."

"Take me down."

The next moment, Little White dove straight down at incredible speed.

Once Yang Ling landed, he didn't pause—he charged straight at the White Bone Demon King.

Little White circled nearby, waiting for its moment.

Yang Ling was incredibly fast. His chest was nearly grazing the ground as he kept his center of gravity extremely low.

Without a word, the White Bone Demon King swung its fist at him.

Its body might not be agile, but that didn't mean its punches were slow.

Three hundred points of Agility made this punch both lightning-fast and devastatingly powerful.

With his extraordinary perception, Yang Ling had already planned his next move the moment it raised its hand.

His control over Strength had reached Micro-Management level—he merely tensed a portion of his muscles.

In an instant, his entire body dropped by a fraction, dodging the White Bone Demon King's punch by a hair's breadth.

But Yang Ling noticed that the white light weak points on its body had suddenly shifted!

Wild Dog Crawls Through the Hole!

Yang Ling slid between its legs. He remembered there were weak points on the White Bone Demon King's back too.

The entire sequence was fluid and seamless. The White Bone Demon King momentarily lost its lock on Yang Ling.

Yang Ling sprang up instantly, his eyes fixed on the White Bone Demon King's back.

The glowing white weak point seemed about to shift again.

"Screw you!"

The Centenary Refined Kylin Pickaxe came crashing down with ferocious momentum.

The weak point went dark instantly!

But this strike also gave the White Bone Demon King an opening to exploit.

It whipped around and threw a heavy punch!

Yang Ling's Agility matched its at this moment.

But to break that weak point, he had already sacrificed his best chance to dodge.

Time to tank it!

Yang Ling activated Vajra Indestructible Body and crossed his arms to block.

The heavy fist slammed into his bracers.

In that instant, Yang Ling felt like he'd been hit head-on by a truck going a hundred kilometers an hour!

The terrifying force made his hands emit the sound of bones cracking.

An agonizing pain surged through him.

Some of the muscles in his arms seemed to have torn as well.

[Damage Calculation: 800]

[Physical Damage Reduction: 30%]

[Final Damage Calculation: 560]

Yang Ling's HP dropped by 560 points!

From 3220, it fell to 2660.

He gasped sharply inwardly.

"The power of this punch is several times stronger than the White Bone Daoist's Lesser Flying Sword Art!"

"I have the Fire Crocodile Set, plus the tenfold defense boost from Vajra Indestructible Body and Vital Qi protection, and I still took 560 damage. If I weren't wearing the set and didn't have Vajra Indestructible Body, this one punch would have brought me to zero HP!"

Yang Ling immediately thought of other players.

Most players couldn't possibly have such a complete set of equipment and skills.

So when they faced the White Bone Demon King in close combat...

They'd almost only have one chance to try.

One hit and they'd be at zero HP, needing a teammate to rescue them!

"Can't rush! I was too hasty just now. In my eagerness to strike a weak point, I left one open for the enemy."

The thought flashed by as the White Bone Demon King's assault came like a raging storm.

Its weak points were constantly shifting, never staying in one place.

This made things somewhat difficult for Yang Ling too.

If these weak points were fixed, he was confident he could break them all without taking a single hit.

Using his high Agility, extraordinary perception, and Micro-Management level control, Yang Ling kept circling the White Bone Demon King.

He was looking for an opportunity!

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged hundreds of moves.

Seeing that it still couldn't finish off this little bug, the White Bone Demon King grew increasingly violent.

"It's getting anxious. When it's anxious, it'll leave openings."

Yang Ling didn't follow its rhythm. Instead, he grew calmer and more composed, his patience surging.

Finally, he seized an opportunity.

The White Bone Demon King hurled a punch straight at Yang Ling, but he simply sidestepped and dodged.

This punch exposed its right shoulder.

And just then, a weak point drifted to that very spot.

Yang Ling tapped it lightly, and the weak point was broken.

This weak point wasn't broken by luck.

Throughout their exchange, he had been observing the pattern of how these weak points moved.

Clearly, this pattern was actively controlled by the White Bone Demon King.

But controlling so many weak points at once would inevitably leave gaps, and there were some muscle-memory-like patterns.

This weak point on the right shoulder would always appear there at this exact moment.

Yang Ling only needed to guide the White Bone Demon King into exposing its right shoulder, and he could easily take care of it.

After the second weak point was broken, the White Bone Demon King grew visibly more agitated.

Time ticked by.

Little White kept darting around the battlefield. If Yang Ling hadn't ordered it to only intervene when his health hit zero, it would have been itching to join in too.

Before long, the third weak point was broken.

Then the fourth.

The fifth.

The White Bone Demon King grew more and more irritable, making more and more mistakes.

Once, a weak point even drifted onto its fist.

Yang Ling had no choice but to clash fists with it, losing another 560 HP.

If he had been leveling up the normal way, his HP would still be under a thousand right now.

But over this period, he had consumed too many rare exotic herbs and flowers and elixirs.

His HP was over three thousand, greatly increasing his margin for error.

Before he knew it, only the last weak point remained on the White Bone Demon King's body!

This weak point was hidden under its left armpit. Every time it threw a punch, it used its right hand, while its left arm remained clamped tightly to its side, unmoving.

"White Bone Demon King, isn't that a bit shameless?"

Yang Ling felt the pressure drop. A one-armed White Bone Demon King was far less threatening than before.

"Shameless little bug, you dare lecture this king?!"

The White Bone Demon King was so furious its hair seemed to stand on end.

It attacked recklessly, without holding back.

Its left arm remained utterly still!

Yang Ling kept dodging, his eyes growing colder. He grasped the Seventh-Rank Official Saber at his waist, and a certain momentum began to build on his body, swelling with each passing moment.

Dozens of moves later, a dragon's roar rang out. A massive, illusory dragon shadow appeared behind Yang Ling.

Seventh-Rank Official Saber, Gather Momentum!

Yang Ling seized the moment and swung his saber in a rising arc!
