With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 205 The Hunt in Yunxi

"This won't do! Someone has to go and kill that lich!" someone shouted anxiously.

"Slay it? How? It's huddled at the very back of the monster horde, surrounded by a ring of elite [Bone Guardians]. Who can get past it?"

Just when everyone was at a loss and morale was dropping, a clear and calm voice rang out in the team channel, carrying a reassuring power.

"Everyone, hold your formation. Lich, leave him to me."

It's Ye Yao!

The players perked up and searched for the figure, but they couldn't find her anywhere.

She seemed to blend completely into the surrounding shadows and mist.

At this moment, Ye Yao was just like a true night elf, silently moving along the edge of the battlefield.

Her Shadow Affinity talent was put to its fullest effect here; the dense fog and shadows became her best cover, her movement speed was maximized, and her footsteps landed silently.

She ignored the chaos on the front lines; her gaze, like the most precise sniper scope, was firmly locked onto the [Trickster Lich] waving his staff in the distance.

"The first one."

She silently recited the command, and her figure slid out from the shadow of a rock like a ghost, instantly appearing behind a [Ghost Assassin] who had just infiltrated the player's flank and was preparing to strike the priest.

[Shadow Strike]!

Backstab!

The dagger in his hand drew two cold arcs, precisely piercing the ghostly assassin's vital point in the back.

-89,451!

-102,587!

The Ghost Assassin didn't even have time to react before his soul dissipated instantly.

Ye Yao's figure disappeared into the shadows once more, as if she had never existed.

Only the priestess who was almost killed remained, staring blankly at the suddenly deceased ghost assassin.

"The second one."

Ye Yao moved swiftly in the shadows, like an efficient grim reaper.

Another [Cursed Lich] attempting to unleash a curse was precisely killed by her from behind.

She specifically targets and eliminates these elite units that pose a significant threat to the team, much like performing surgery on the defenses to precisely remove the lesions.

Shen Yiyi was occupying the tallest clock tower in the city, providing Ye Yao with a panoramic view and key landmarks.

"Sister Yao, at three o'clock, eighty meters away, two [Bone Throwers] are focusing fire on our front-line tanks."

"receive."

Ye Yao's figure flickered several times in the shadows of the building, approaching as if by teleportation. With a swift stroke, the two ranged units were instantly silenced.

"Sister Yao, the lich is channeling a large-scale curse spell, targeting the area where our healing is most concentrated!"

"I saw it."

A cold glint flashed in Ye Yao's eyes. She couldn't let it cast spells so recklessly any longer.

She took a deep breath, and her whole body seemed to transform into a wisp of smoke, skimming the ground and stealthily moving towards the location of the [Trickster Lich] at an astonishing speed.

Her movements were light and swift, skillfully utilizing every terrain obstacle and every blind spot in the eyes of the dead.

Occasionally, when a spirit accidentally approaches the shadow where she is, she doesn't linger, but changes position instantly like a slippery eel.

The [Trickster Lich] seemed to sense a faint danger as well, and its elite [Skeleton Guardians] warily gathered around it, their soul fire scanning the surroundings.

However, Ye Yao's stealth is based on rules. As long as she doesn't attack first or enter certain special detection ranges, it's almost impossible for her to be detected.

Fifty meters... thirty meters... twenty meters...

The distance is rapidly closing.

Ye Yao could clearly see the chilling dark green curse energy gathering between the withered fingers of the [Trickster Lich].

It is chanting a massive and powerful curse that affects an entire population—[Life Withers]!

Once released, the health and defense of frontline players will drop significantly, and the defense line may collapse instantly!

It's now!

Ye Yao moved!

She burst out from the shadows beneath a Bone Guardian, like a cheetah that had been poised for a long time!

[Shadow Strike] allowed her to instantly cover the final ten meters and appear behind [Trickster Lich]!

The incantation of the [Trickster Lich] abruptly stopped as it sensed the chilling killing intent behind it!

But it was too late!

Ye Yao's twin daggers, like the fangs of a viper, were imbued with chilling shadow energy and stabbed out in an instant!

[Shadow Dance Combo]!

-78,541! First hit!

-85,212! Second hit!

-91,884! The third hit!

-198,745! Finishing Move - Shadow Burst!

A barrage of massive damage cascaded down from the head of the [Trickster Lich] like a waterfall!

Its withered body trembled violently as the condensed curse energy went out of control and backfired, causing it to let out a sharp and piercing soul scream!

It tried to turn around, tried to fight back with its bone staff, tried to summon its guards...

But Ye Yao didn't give it any chance at all.

After landing a successful strike, he didn't stop for a moment. His figure spun around the [Trickster Lich] like a whirlwind, and every swing of his dagger precisely struck the Lich's vital points such as its soul fire, staff, and joints!

The surrounding skeleton guards then reacted and roared as they charged towards Ye Yao.

Ye Yao moved with lightning speed, slipping through the encirclement of the two guards like a ghost, and casually thrusting a dagger into the eye socket of another necromancer who was attempting to cast a spell.

The [Trickster Lich]'s health plummeted under Ye Yao's relentless onslaught.

It tried to run away and hide, but Ye Yao locked onto it tightly, leaving it nowhere to hide!

Finally, after a shriek filled with resentment and bitterness, the fragile magical body of the [Trickster Lich] was completely torn apart by Ye Yao's precise backstab, turning into rags and bone fragments flying everywhere. The skull staff in her hand also snapped in two with a "crack".

[System Notification: Successfully defeated the level 35 Undead Overlord [Trickster Lich]!]

With their leader gone, the remaining undead army, though still numerous, became significantly less threatening due to the loss of unified command and the support of their vile curses.

Especially those [Ghost Assassins], without the Lich's covert blessing, their stealth effect was greatly reduced, and they were quickly found and eliminated by players.

The pressure on Yunxi City has been greatly reduced!

"The Lich is dead! Goddess Ye Yao is awesome!"

"Brothers! The time to fight back has come!"

"Kill them! Tear all these skeletons apart!"

The players on the defensive line were greatly encouraged and began to advance methodically, clearing out the remaining undead.

Ye Yao's figure appeared in the shadow of a collapsed arrow tower not far away. She was slightly out of breath, and sweat was on her forehead.

The continuous high-intensity stealth and bursts of energy also took a heavy toll on her mental and physical strength.

As she watched the battle lines gradually stabilize, a subtle hint of relaxation appeared on her usually cool face.

Shen Yiyi's voice came through the channel, filled with excitement: "Sister Yao! You're so cool! I knew you could do it!"

Ye Yao gave a soft "hmm," her gaze sweeping across the battlefield before finally settling on the direction of Luoxia City. She murmured to herself, "Lin Tian... I wonder what the situation is like on your end."

She knew that Lin Tian could probably deal with this kind of BOSS with just a wave of his hand.

But she took a different path from the start.

Dance in the shadows, hear thunder in the silence.

Yunxi City, through her methods, was also preserved.
