Chapter 121: Chapter 121: A Summoner as the Main Tank?

Because the damage dealt by the Sacred Beast Xuanwu summoned by Jiang Yuan was too high, he instantly pulled aggro from the boss. But that wasn’t the worst part! The worst part was that right at that moment, the boss’s fan-shaped skill activated, and because of Jiang Yuan’s aggro, that massive red fan covered almost everyone in the raid! “Damn it, Ding Ye, what the hell are you doing?” Wending Cangsheng, caught off guard, assumed Ding Ye hadn’t used his taunt skill in time and roared at him. “It’s not my fault, you guys pulled aggro off me!” Ding Ye replied, his face full of grievance as he protested loudly. Before Ding Ye’s words even faded, the red fan-shaped skill had already formed. The DPS players who had been standing behind the boss, going all out, were terrified out of their wits and scrambled to scatter to both sides. Jiang Yuan, however, didn’t dodge or evade. He ordered Xuanwu to cast a “Water Healing Shield” on himself, curious to see just how much damage this skill would deal to the Four Alliance players. A flash of red light swept through. Most of the raid’s DPS classes didn’t react in time and fell to the ground, dead. Only a few tanky warriors and Jiang Yuan, wrapped in a shimmering blue water shield, remained standing. Jiang Yuan glanced at the damage number floating above his shield—over 300,000. He finally understood why none of the Four Alliance’s DPS classes could withstand it. If it were him, without the protection of the Sacred Beast Xuanwu’s “Water Healing Shield,” even using “Soul Sacrifice” wouldn’t have been enough to survive such devastating damage from the Kui Niu. “Is it over? A full wipe?” The raid commander, Wending Cangsheng, stared at the dense pile of corpses at the Kui Niu’s feet, a look of despair spreading across his face. Just then, Jiang Yuan did something that caught Wending Cangsheng completely off guard! Jiang Yuan walked over to where Ding Ye should have been and said to him, “I’ll tank the boss. You go DPS!” “???” A string of question marks appeared above Ding Ye’s head as he said to Jiang Yuan, “Yuanzi, you tank the boss? Are you kidding me?” It wasn’t just Ding Ye. Even Wending Cangsheng found Jiang Yuan’s words unbelievable and said, “Jiang Yuan, stop messing around. Just die and let’s restart!” Aoshi Longhuang and Qingjiao Wo Zhanshen exchanged a glance, then gave up resisting entirely, letting the Kui Niu beat them to death as they collapsed to the ground. “It’s fine, we can still fight!” Jiang Yuan said firmly to Wending Cangsheng, then summoned ten thousand Sand River Turtles. Combined with the damage from the Sacred Beast Xuanwu, he instantly snatched the aggro away from Ding Ye. “What are you standing around for? Start reviving people!” Having successfully held the boss’s aggro, Jiang Yuan glanced back at the healers frozen in place and couldn’t help but shout. “Holy crap! Today’s really something—a little knife cutting my ass, opening my eyes! First time I’ve seen a summoner as the main tank!” The resurrected Wanli Alliance leader, Qingjiao Wo Zhanshen, looked at Jiang Yuan, who was steadily holding the boss’s facing, and said in admiration. Gradually, the fallen DPS players in the raid were revived by the healers. Ding Ye also took his place behind the Kui Niu, attacking alongside the other melee classes, even though his pitiful damage was negligible. And so, a comical scene unfolded. In a raid of seventy people, the main tank standing at the front holding the boss was a fragile summoner class. And that wasn’t even the most absurd part. What truly baffled them was that this seemingly frail summoner held the aggro more steadily than Ding Ye ever did. No matter how much damage they dealt—300,000, 500,000, or even a million—the boss’s hatred was always locked firmly onto Jiang Yuan! “Hah! I don’t believe this!” Yidao Powanfa, known for his explosive damage output, called for the other classes in his group to stack every possible buff on him. Then he unleashed the skill “Xiang Wang Strikes the Cauldron,” dealing over two million damage to the Kui Niu in an instant. To his utter shock, despite being able to pull aggro off Ding Ye in a flash before, he couldn’t wrest the boss’s hatred away from Jiang Yuan now. The expression on Yidao Powanfa’s face didn’t escape Jiang Yuan’s notice. A faint smile curled at the corner of Jiang Yuan’s mouth as he thought to himself, *This Yidao Powanfa is still too young—he actually thought he could pull aggro off me!* “Jiang Yuan, watch out! Dodge!” Just as the Kui Niu unleashed a rectangular beam skill, Wending Cangsheng immediately shouted a warning to Jiang Yuan. “No worries, just keep fighting!” Jiang Yuan pointed at the second Sacred Beast Xuanwu he had summoned. A blue, rippling circular shield enveloped him, and he took the Kui Niu’s skill head-on without flinching. “Jiang Yuan, you’re amazing!” The Hanjiang City players in the raid cheered as they saw Jiang Yuan effortlessly withstand a skill that even the main tank wouldn’t dare to eat raw, all while continuing to DPS. It wasn’t just the Hanjiang City players. Even the DPS classes from Tianbo Mansion and Emperor Prefecture couldn’t help but silently applaud Jiang Yuan for holding the boss so steadily as a summoner. Although the Kui Niu’s skill didn’t pose a fatal threat to Jiang Yuan, it wiped out over three thousand Sand River Turtles in one go. Still, no big deal—the remaining seven thousand turtles could keep the Kui Niu taunted firmly. By now, the group had chipped away 100 million of the Kui Niu’s health. At this rate, they could grind this mythical boss to death in about an hour! While Jiang Yuan and the Four Alliance players were locked in an intense battle with the Kui Niu, deep within an underground cavern in the Tianshan Yao Chi, over a dozen demon generals stood packed together. The weakest among them was on par with Feng Yang, whom Jiang Yuan had encountered at Lanyue Terrace. “Nieshi, is everything set up at the Feisheng Platform?” A demon general clad in armor, standing over three meters tall, looked at a demon lieutenant before him and asked. If Jiang Yuan were here, seeing this demon general would have shocked him, because this man was none other than Feng Yang’s father, Feng Tai, a general under the Western Demon Emperor! “General Feng, rest assured. Everything is in place. Once the seal on the Feisheng Platform is broken and the celestial envoy descends, they—along with those humans—will all die without a burial ground!” The lieutenant, whom Feng Tai called “Nieshi,” flashed a cruel smile at him. This man earned his name because of a peculiar habit: after killing his enemies, he loved to gnaw on their corpses. “How are those humans doing?” Feng Tai suddenly thought of something and turned to Nieshi. “Reporting to General Feng, they’re still locked in the dungeon, as per your orders—no one is allowed near them. However...” Nieshi looked up at his commander, hesitating mid-sentence. “I know what you’re thinking. Don’t touch that human girl for now. She teamed up with Han Xiaotian to kill my son. Once His Majesty the Emperor arrives, I’ll file a complaint against him! That human girl is the best witness!” Feng Tai shot a warning glance at his lieutenant, who quickly nodded, indicating he would keep his men in line and not dare to act recklessly.
