Permafrost Island, above the location of the Murloc Lord, suddenly erupted with lightning and thunder.
As the rain fell, it quickly solidified into ice shards, reflecting a crystalline image.
Countless greenish-brown figures surged from all directions towards the three humans...
Permafrost Lake, with its extremely low temperature, could freeze water instantly. Moreover, the Murloc Lord had recently unleashed an Extreme Cold Storm, further lowering the temperature on Permafrost Island.
Hu Yan prayed for rain, but in this special environment, what he got was ice!
Countless ice spikes, shaped like water droplets, plummeted from the sky, crashing madly into the murloc army!
The torrential rain transformed into a fierce ice spike attack, pouring down from the heavens!
The ice spikes rained down on the murloc army, a dense and fierce assault, like a barrage of arrows filling the sky!
Although the murlocs had ice scales on their backs, their synapses and heads couldn't withstand such a pounding, and they all held their heads in defense.
Witnessing this scene, all the surrounding team members were stunned.
"Holy crap, the most powerful one is actually that guy! What kind of skill is this? Summoning hail?!"
"What class is he? How can he have such an exaggerated skill!"
"That guy seems to be... Hu, Half Immortal Hu! How could it be him? Isn't he a Feng Shui Master?"
The ice spikes weren't lethal, but they successfully bought Jiang Kai the last bit of time he needed!
He swiftly passed by the Murloc Leader, raised his hand, and nine shadows shot into the Murloc Lord's gills.
At this point, he was too exhausted to continue using his Quenching Attack, but as long as the Pursuing Death triggered a critical hit, even a single-target attack could deal terrifying damage.
After the nine Pursuing Deaths were launched, the Murloc Lord let out two wails, each more painful than the last.
It seemed there were two critical hits.
Jiang Kai's critical hits were not ordinary; his critical hit multiplier was 200 times, and the damage from two critical hits was extremely terrifying.
The Murloc Lord was already exhausted, and after Jiang Kai's successful attack, it could no longer hold on.
Its massive body tilted to one side, the golden trident in its hand fell to the ground, and its scarlet eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Kai.
With a boom, the teams surrounding Permafrost Island suddenly erupted into a commotion.
"He, he killed the Murloc Lord? Is it real?!"
"Incredible, this is too incredible, I can't believe someone could kill a king-level BOSS in such a situation!"
"Who are those three people? Quickly investigate, I want their full details within two days!"
Lu Jun stared dumbfoundedly in the direction of the battlefield, unable to speak for a long time.

It was Xiao Hei who spoke up, "Rain Prayer can be used like this? They've taken seemingly useless skills to the extreme!"
"And that guy with the shield, although I can hardly believe it, I'm sure his class isn't a Martial Apprentice, but a Drunkard!"
"As for Jiang Kai, I can only say, I can't see through him!"
Lu Jun finally snapped out of it, but his expression still showed no sign of relaxation.
"I finally understand why General Wei values Jiang Kai so much. That guy not only creates miracles himself, but most importantly, he can lead those around him to transform completely!"
"A Feng Shui Master, a Drunkard, even Jiang Kai is a non-combat class, yet they killed a king-level BOSS. Even though I saw it with my own eyes, it's hard to accept!"
The Murloc Lord's body was still slightly twitching, but the life in its eyes was slowly fading away.
The moment the Murloc Lord fell, the effect of the Extreme Cold Storm finally dissipated, and the surrounding murlocs' strength sharply declined. After the previous sword fight, their condition was not optimistic either.
The most crucial point was that they witnessed their leader's fall, and now they were leaderless...
Just like how werewolves scatter after the Wolf King dies, the murlocs reluctantly glanced at their king and then dived into the ice...
The murloc army finally retreated.
Jiang Kai let out a long sigh of relief and quickly turned to look at his companions.
Ruan Yu was beaten beyond recognition, but fortunately, he was still breathing. Even in this state, he was muttering something about "little chili pepper"...
Hu Yan's Rain Prayer had a decisive preparation time, but it only lasted a few minutes before losing its effect. He had multiple wounds on his body and was now collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.
"Ruan Yu actually survived..." Jiang Kai found it somewhat unbelievable, but he could finally relax a bit.
Near Permafrost Island, the Third Elder of the Black Tortoise Guild squinted slightly, looking at the devastated battlefield, his gaze falling on Jiang Kai.
"Is that Jiang Kai?"
Huang Tong nodded, "That's him."
The younger Huang Da jumped out, anxiously saying, "Third Elder, that guy is here to steal the BOSS. We must kill the BOSS before he does, or the rewards will fall into his hands!"
"While he's exhausted, we can also kill him under the pretext of stealing the BOSS!"
Huang Da already hated Jiang Kai to the core, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity he couldn't miss.
However, the Third Elder remained silent for a moment and suddenly raised his hand to stop Huang Da.
His gaze was like that of an old fox guarding its prey, incredibly gloomy.
"Let him take it!"
"What? But that's the Summoning Skull, a treasure our guild sacrificed tens of thousands of lives to obtain, and the king-level BOSS's treasure contains a large number of high-level items, worth at least billions of Alliance Coins!"
"I said, let him take it!" the Third Elder repeated without room for doubt.
"In China, we have always prohibited the seizure of BOSSes above king-level. To hunt a king-level BOSS requires a guild to invest a lot of manpower, resources, and finances. If we allow seizures, it would not only cause severe internal strife but also be detrimental to all of China. Moreover, think about it, if you put in so much effort to prepare to kill a BOSS, only to have it snatched away at the last moment, which guild would be willing to be the fool in the future?"
Huang Da's eyes widened; he hadn't thought of all this before.
The Third Elder continued, "So, even if there's only a sliver of health left, seizing a BOSS is not allowed. This time, we lost tens of thousands of people, and according to guild tradition, 80% of the collective hunt's proceeds must be distributed as compensation to them. Think about it, if they find out the final BOSS fell into Jiang Kai's hands, leaving them with nothing, how do you think they'll react?"
"They'll definitely hate Jiang Kai!" Huang Da suddenly realized.
The Third Elder smiled faintly, "Exactly. Before, you could only suppress Jiang Kai in secret, but once he takes the BOSS, even if he profits greatly, he will also become the target of people's hatred."
"Genuine hatred!"
Huang Da was shocked; he hadn't realized how naive he still was.
This was truly a case of losing something to gain something!
They say Jiang Kai is cunning, but the Summoning Skull and treasure are like bait in a trap. In the face of such immense profit, someone like Jiang Kai would never pass up this opportunity!
...
Among the three, Jiang Kai was the most exhausted, but he wasn't injured and could still stand.
He walked over to Jiang Fang.
Squatting down, Jiang Kai gave Jiang Fang a Numbing Fry, "This costs 100,000 Star Coins each, consider it a debt."
Jiang Fang was puzzled, but he recognized the Numbing Fry, which had a market price of 100 Star Coins each. This guy was charging him 100,000 each; how black-hearted could he be?
But Jiang Fang had no way to refuse, so he let Jiang Kai shove the fry into his mouth.
After eating the fry, his pain was greatly relieved.
Jiang Kai dragged his body, pulling him out from the ice spikes.
"What... what are you doing..." Jiang Fang said weakly.
Jiang Kai didn't answer, applying some hemostatic medicine to Jiang Fang's wounds.
Halfway through, Jiang Kai shook his head, "With these injuries, you probably won't make it."
"I know... Just in time to log off, I can go to the Beast God Battlefield and kill some Beast Gods," Jiang Fang said weakly.
Jiang Kai's expression froze; the Beast God Battlefield... He didn't explain further, just carried Jiang Fang towards the Murloc Lord.
As he walked, Jiang Kai spoke strange words, "I heard that in guild hunts, 80% of the final proceeds need to be compensated to all participants. Your Black Tortoise Guild still has some people I admire, like those who fought to the last moment!"
"You..." Jiang Fang was puzzled, not understanding the implication of Jiang Kai's words.
As they spoke, Jiang Kai had already carried Jiang Fang to the Murloc Lord.
When Jiang Kai grasped Jiang Fang's gun-wielding hand, Jiang Fang finally understood.
This guy wanted him to deliver the final blow!
"You..." Jiang Fang looked at Jiang Kai in disbelief.
Jiang Kai snorted coldly, "It's not for you, nor for the Black Tortoise Guild, but for those ordinary people!"
Just as Jiang Kai exerted his strength, suddenly, the Murloc, which had been lying motionless on the ground, angrily opened its eyes.
A large number of tentacles behind it suddenly extended, directly wrapping around Jiang Kai.
Everything happened too suddenly; Jiang Kai was caught off guard. Feeling the immense pulling force from the tentacles, he immediately let go, releasing Jiang Fang, while he was pulled directly into the Murloc's back cavity!
"Hey!" Jiang Fang's eyes widened in anger; he didn't know Jiang Kai's name, so he could only shout, "Damn it, there's a revenge skill like this!"
In previous attempts, the Black Tortoise Guild only reached the third phase, but who knew the Murloc Lord had a fourth phase.
Revenge before death!
However, at this moment, Jiang Kai had already been dragged into the Murloc Lord's body!
"Kai!" Hu Yan was terrified when he saw this and rushed over!
In a fit of rage, Jiang Fang used his last bit of strength to thrust his spear into the Murloc Lord's gills, "Spit him out!"
