Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God

Chapter 137: Monster “It seems they will bury us here.

Our only choice is to carve out a trail of blood,” Fire Dance said.

After hearing the Swordsman team leader from Martial Union speak, Fire Dance’s expression turned grim, gritting her teeth slightly.

Originally, she intended to come here to kill the members of Martial Union.

She did not think that she would fall into Martial Union’s trap instead.

After killing their way out of the encirclement with much difficulty, these players once more surrounded them.

Their chances of escaping were already scant, and if another twenty or so enemies arrived, even that tiny hope of escape would vanish.

If she and her teammates died now, with the previous Crime Value they had accumulated, at the very least, her teammates would each lose two levels, while she would lose at least three levels and all of her equipment.

Such a loss would devastate them, and their team would very likely disband, never to rise again.

“Hahaha!

It’s too late to fear now!

Originally, we prepared this ambush for that Ye Feng, but I never thought you guys would send yourselves to death.

From now on, the fine equipment that you guys use will belong to us!

Brothers, go!

Leave that little girl for me to deal with,” the Swordsman team leader licked his lips as he spoke, his eyes revealing an undisguised greed as he gazed at Fire Dance’s sexy body.

Naturally, Shi Feng, who was hiding in the forest, heard the entire conversation.

Although he knew Martial Union definitely had some hidden plot, it turned out that they planned to set a trap for him all along.

Previously, he had stayed inside the Forging Room, creating equipment.

Moreover, he had also altered his outward appearance, making it impossible for Martial Union to find him.

Hence, they chose to take action against Blackie and the others, using them to lure him out.

At the same time, they would set up a trap and surround him.

Unfortunately, although they had prepared for a variety of situations, they missed out on two important points.

First, Shi Feng possessed the Demon Mask that allowed him to disguise his character’s appearance and information easily.

Second, they gravely underestimated Shi Feng’s current strength.

“Brothers, follow me and let’s kill our way out!

” At this moment, Fire Dance chose to take the initiative and launched an attack.

In the blink of an eye, she rushed towards the spot where the encirclement had the least amount of players.

Before the Berserker standing there could react, Fire Dance’s dagger had already pierced the back of his head, forcing him into a Fainted state.

Fire Dance immediately followed up with a Backstab, Assassinate, and Eviscerate, instantly removing half of the Berserker’s HP.

The other members of Fire Dance’s team also rushed forward with her, breaking through the encirclement.

However, just as the several Level 7 players fell to critical health, a dazzling white light surrounded their bodies, recovering over half of their total HP.

Moreover, those players were not just weaklings.

They stubbornly held back the members of Fire Dance’s team, not backing down in the slightest.

“Mages, go all out!

Clerics, cast your Shields!

Rangers, mark the Assassins!

Do not let them get away!

I don’t want to become a laughing-stock for the players in Blue Water Town,” the Swordsman from Martial Union commanded as he similarly charged at Fire Dance.

Including herself, Fire Dance’s team only had six players remaining.

Each of them faced off against two or three enemies.

Their enemies also had healers constantly replenishing their health.

They had no chance for victory at all.

Moreover, with the constant bombardment from the backline mages of Martial Union, Fire Dance lost another two of her teammates in the blink of an eye.

“Is this really it for us…?

” Fire Dance watched her comrades fall in front of her eyes, her heart bleeding at the sight.

However, Fire Dance had no time for anger as she faced off against three enemies at once.

One of the three was also the team leader from Martial Union.

However, in addition to being outnumbered, she also had to deal with the constant attacks from the mages.

As a result, her HP reduced continuously, while a majority of her skills were on Cooldown.

She could only dodge the incoming attacks to reduce as much damage as possible.

“Hahaha!

Little girl, if you wish to blame someone, then blame that Ye Feng of yours for standing out!

All who go against Martial Union will earn a fatal ending!

However, you can be relieved.

That Ye Feng fella will sooner or later accompany you as well!

” Just when the Swordsman thought that victory was in his grasp, a black figure silently appeared behind Martial Union’s healers.

Nobody had even discovered the appearance of this person.

Without anybody noticing, two sword lights pierced through one of the Level 7 Clerics, causing damages of -397 and -542, instantly killing him.

Only when the Cleric died did the second Cleric and Druid notice an enemy right beside them.

Moreover, this new enemy instantly killed one of their comrades.

“Ene…my…” The other Cleric attempted to yell out in fright, yet, he suddenly discovered that he was unable to yell out.

He did not know when it started, but at this moment, both his abdomen and neck spurted out fresh blood.

Moreover, when he turned to look at the Druid beside him, he noticed that the Druid was in a similar situation.

However, neither of them noticed that, in actuality, they had been attacked at the same time as the first Cleric.

Only, their reactions were slightly delayed, failing to notice their own HPs had already to zero.

Staring at each other, they both fell forward, their visions turning a dull grey.

That’s three down.

 Shi Feng’s eyes flashed with a cold glint.

He then shifted his cold gaze to the mages nearby.

Based on Shi Feng’s current Attack Power, even if he did not depend on the Ice-Blue Devil Flame’s damage increase and did not use any of his skills, he could still kill any Cloth Armor classes of the same level with only two strikes from his swords.

Two swords, six images.

With Shi Feng’s current Attributes, it was an easy feat, and there were burdens when doing so.

Moreover, the faster Shi Feng’s sword slashes were, the greater the damage the Silver Lake could cause.

If Shi Feng’s speed reached its pinnacle, it might even be possible for him to instant-kill a Cloth Armor class with just a single sword strike.

In an open battlefield like this, Shi Feng was just like a harvester, reaping players’ lives.

With Shi Feng’s current Attack Speed, if other players did not activate their Extraordinary State[1], they could not block Shi Feng’s attacks at all.

Without a doubt, they would instantly die.

Meanwhile, the current players able to activate the Extraordinary State were usually melee classes, such as the Swordsman team leader.

Only with it could they possibly have a chance to react and retaliate against Shi Feng.

However, even then, it was only a possibility.

Shi Feng then activated Wind Blade, rushing towards the nearest Elementalist of Martial Union.

“Are you healers dead or what?

Don’t you even know how to heal?

” a low HP Assassin of Martial Union cursed.

However, the Assassin’s curses received no replies.

Seizing the opportunity, Fire Dance, with her accumulated 3-Star Energy, used Eviscerate to finish off this Assassin.

The backline mages witnessing this scene all turned to look at the healers behind them, intending to find out what had happened.

However, the moment one turned, he immediately discovered a dark shadow sliding across his neck, with another blue shadow piercing through his chest.

His HP bar displayed before him rapidly decreased.

Soon after, his vision darkened, and his life extinguished.

After killing the Elementalist, Shi Feng turned towards the other mage classes.

“Leader, there’s a monster ambushing us,” a Summoner at a distance shouted in fright after witnessing this scene.

However, before he could even get a clear look at this ambusher, the Level 7 Elementalist was already dead.

Such a scene caused this Summoner to have shivers all down his body.

“Can’t you see that I’m busy here?

If it’s just a monster ambush, don’t you know how to deal with it yourselves?

” the Swordsman retorted angrily.

At this moment, he still exchanged moves with Fire Dance, and he could not afford a distraction.

 It’s just a monster; where’s the need to report even that?!

Are you a n idiot or what?

Hearing no reply from the Summoner, the Swordsman thought his subordinate turned to deal with the monster.

Hence, he focused more on his battle against Fire Dance.

In reality, however, the Summoner already lay beneath Shi Feng’s feet.

The three mages nearby who attempted to escape were dead as well.

Meanwhile, Shi Feng’s name turned a crimson red, as if it would bleed at any time.

Currently, only three players remained on Fire Dance’s team, and all three of their HPs were almost gone.

Meanwhile, Martial Union still had nine melee players whose HPs were above 50%.

“Leader, something’s not right!

I’m already at half health, but the healers haven’t healed me yet,” a Berserker shouted.

“Crap, what are you healers doing?!

Do you not want to play anymore?

” the Swordsman bellowed after discovering the problem as well.

However, just after he finished his bellow, he suddenly felt a chill down his back.

He hurriedly rolled to a side, dodging.

Immediately after, three sword images pierced through the space he stood before.

The two other players in front of him were not as lucky.

Both of Shi Feng’s swords pierced through their backs.

Without even knowing the cause of their deaths, both of their bodies fell lifelessly to the ground, their eyes wide open.

As the leader, the Swordsman was the strongest among the entire team.

However, when he saw this scene play out before him, he suddenly felt cold throughout his body.

Being able to kill both of his comrades instantly and without using any skills to boot, just how heaven-defying was this person’s Attack Power?!

“Who are you?

Why are you acting against us?

” The team leader gathered up his courage, angrily shouting, “Do you know who we are?

We are members of Martial Union!

If you don’t wish to die, leave this place immediately!

I can still let you off the hook!

” However, he suddenly heard the reply whispered from behind him.

“The ones I’m here to kill are precisely you from Martial Union.

” The Swordsman team leader turned his head, his complexion turning pale instantly.

Previously, the mysterious player standing in front of him had, in the blink of an eye, arrived at his back, giving him a cold smile.

Before the Swordsman team leader could even scream, Shi Feng sent a Chop at him.

The pitch-black Abyssal blade pierced through his chest, causing over -700 damage, instantly dropping his HP to zero.

Pairing up Silent Steps and Chop, Shi Feng had killed off the Level 8 Swordsman team leader.

Meanwhile, Fire Dance, witnessing this scene from a distance, was utterly dumbfounded.

This mysterious player had instantly killed the Swordsman team leader, whom she had difficulty dealing with.

Is this mysterious player truly a player?

He can’t be a ghost of God’s Domain, right?!

After the team leader of Martial Union died, the other members were all fear-stricken.

After witnessing Shi Feng’s extraordinary speed and frightening damage, they all felt unprecedented fear.

“Is this even a player?

” “He can’t be a monster, right?

” This way of thinking reverberated in the minds of these players, causing them to tremble with fear.

Although Fire Dance had good technique, at this moment, she did not dare to make any careless movements.

She could only watch in silence, and unknowingly, a streak of sweat rolled down from her forehead.

When faced with this mysterious player before her, Fire Dance’s instincts were telling her that, if this mysterious player wanted to deal with her, death would be the only outcome for her.

TL Notes: Chapter 138: Hidden Expert Fire Dance’s eyes flickered when she saw Shi Feng’s figure.

Aside from the immense pressure that she felt from him, she could also smell the stench of death on him.

From the moment Shi Feng appeared, she was aware of Shi Feng’s existence.

However, Shi Feng’s movements and battle techniques were just too quick, to the point where she even questioned her own senses.

Only when the team leader died was she shocked out of her daze.

From the death of the first Cleric to the death of the Swordsman, only a short five seconds had passed.

Every time Shi Feng revealed himself, another player fell to the ground, blood spurting from their bodies.

Shi Feng was like the Grim Reaper, harvesting the lives of Martial Union’s members.

One could only describe Shi Feng’s movements as ‘erratic.

’ Shi Feng also wore a pitch-black hooded cape that hid his face.

In addition, the Demon Mask hid his name, level, and other information.

Aside from his HP bar, there was nothing else to see.

It would not be strange even if he received the same treatment as a monster.

The only reason Fire Dance knew Shi Feng was not a monster was that she had overheard Shi Feng speaking to the Swordsman team leader in a low tone.

However, the fact that Shi Feng was not a monster, but instead, a player, shocked Fire Dance even more.

Just how high were Shi Feng’s Attributes for him to be so strong?!

Meanwhile, Shi Feng felt nothing unexpected about the feats he had just accomplished.

The Attributes of these players was not even half of his own.

Virtual reality games were just that cruel.

Although the gap of Attributes between each level was small, when accumulated to a certain degree, the gap in total strength would be massive.

“Quick, escape!

That’s a monster!

” “I’m not fighting anymore; that monster is just too scary!

” Although they knew that this was just a virtual reality, the remaining five players from Martial Union were still utterly afraid, their hearts beating madly.

Their team leader, the strongest amongst them, died in an instant; he wasn’t even able to retaliate in the slightest.

This was no longer a monster that players could handle.

Immediately, every one of them fled, intending to meet up with the others hurrying over.

Only then could they have peace of mind.

“It’s too late to escape now.

” Shi Feng activated Windwalk, and like an arrow, his body shot forth, instantly catching up to the first Assassin.

In a fright, that Assassin attempted to turn his body to block Shi Feng’s attack; unfortunately for him, Shi Feng’s Attack Speed was just too fast.

With a wave of the Abyssal Blade, three sword images landed upon the Assassin’s vital points.

Without even managing to block a single sword image, the Assassin died.

When the several other escaping players saw that an Assassin, a class widely known for their Agility, fell without even being able to defend, immense fear permeated their minds.

They poured more into their effort to escape.

However, it was futile as the distance between them and Shi Feng only grew shorter and shorter.

Meanwhile, the Abyssal Blade was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper already placed around their necks.

Shi Feng needed only a slight tug, and their lives would be forfeit, right then and there.

Within a moment, with an absolute difference of speed, Shi Feng very quickly killed the five escaping players.

He then started tidying up the loot.

These Martial Union players all wore pretty nice armor.

A majority of them were all fully equipped with Bronze Equipment, and some even had a few pieces of Mysterious-Iron Equipment.

However, the equipment was all just Level 4 or Level 5 equipment.

Meanwhile, they each dropped at least one piece of equipment after death.

Eighteen players meant eighteen pieces of Level 4 to Level 5 Bronze Equipment.

If Shi Feng sold it all, he could make a small fortune.

While Shi Feng picked up the drops, Fire Dance, standing at a distance, held her delicate hand over her madly beating heart.

Slightly calming her emotions, she picked up the courage to walk towards Shi Feng, saying in gratitude, “I am called Fire Dance.

Thank you for saving us.

” Originally, Fire Dance despaired, having prepared for her death.

Only, she never imagined that someone would suddenly appear.

Moreover, that someone massacred the players from Martial Union.

Everything that happened was like a dream.

Although Fire Dance also worried that the mysterious man before her would suddenly go berserk, killing her and her teammates as well to steal their equipment, based on the man’s previous actions, Fire Dance knew that the mysterious man before her did not mean them any harm.

Otherwise, he would have already taken their lives along with the Swordsman’s of Martial Union.

“You don’t have to thank me.

To begin with, these people originally set up this trap for me.

You guys should hurry and leave.

This place is very dangerous right now, and the other members of Martial Union should be arriving very soon,” Shi Feng softly said as he picked up the dropped equipment.

He had only saved Fire Dance and her companions in passing.

He could also take the chance to thank Fire Dance for working so hard, killing the members of Martial Union.

Fire Dance suddenly blanked at Shi Feng’s words, staring at him with her big, watery eyes.

Her heartbeat accelerated further, feeling like it was too good to be true.

“You… You’re Ye Feng?

” Fire Dance asked in disbelief.

The reason she came to the Gale Valley was that she had heard that Martial Union intended to deal with Ye Feng’s teammates.

Hence, she thought of coming to lend some help, and just maybe, she might even get to meet Ye Feng, himself.

It was truly unbelievable how fate could toy with a person’s life.

Originally, she thought of offering Ye Feng aid, yet in the end, Ye Feng had saved her.

Was this fate?

Thinking up to this point, a faint blush added to Fire Dance’s snow-white cheeks.

She felt that she was overthinking, and she was unclear as to why she would have such a thought.

“That’s right; I am Ye Feng.

How did you know who I am?

” Shi Feng looked at the excited Fire Dance, puzzled.

He was sure he was not acquainted with this beauty standing in front of him.

However, seeing Fire Dance’s expression, it would seem that she was somehow familiar with him.

Meanwhile, the Berserker, Water Buffalo, was tongue-tied after hearing Shi Feng admit that he was indeed Fire Dance’s idol, Ye Feng; an incomparable fanaticism appeared in his eyes.

Previously, he felt Shi Feng was not all that powerful, and that he was only an expert over-exaggerated by others.

Now, he was utterly convinced.

Sure enough, there was nothing false about Shi Feng’s famous reputation.

Shi Feng could solo the elite team from Martial Union that even they could not deal with.

In the past, even if others hyped it all over the place, he would still have not believed any of it.

Now, however, aside from shock, admiration for Ye Feng filled his being.

It was no wonder why Ye Feng was Fire Dance’s idol.

“Big Brother Ye Feng, you don’t know this, but in reality, Sister Fire Dance is your…” before Water Buffalo could finish speaking, he received a kick from Fire Dance.

He grimaced from the pain, but when he looked at the expression in Fire Dance’s eyes that seemed able to eat a person whole, he immediately chose to cover his mouth, not uttering a single word.

“Is my what?

” Shi Feng was puzzled.

“It’s nothing!

Water Buffalo is just having an epileptic fit!

Big Brother Ye Feng, won’t you leave with us?

” Fire Dance slightly shook her head.

She then worriedly said, “This time, Martial Union has sent over two hundred men here.

They have long since surrounded this entire area.

There are also several powerful Level 9 experts, and all of them are wearing sets of Mysterious-Iron Equipment.

They killed many of our teammates.

If they surround us, we will have no chance of escaping at all.

Big Brother Ye Feng, it is not too late to escape.

If we wait any longer, we’ll lose the chance.

” If it weren’t for those experts, her team would not have incurred such huge losses.

“Level 9 experts, is it?

” Shi Feng was slightly shocked.

The current Level 9 players in Red Leaf Town were experts at the pinnacle.

Now, however, several Level 9 hidden experts suddenly appeared here.

Moreover, they were all Martial Union’s men.

However, so what if they were Level 9 experts?

Since they wished to deal with him, he would receive every one of them.

It just so happened that he could use them to test his sword.

“You guys should hurry up and leave.

I’ll stay here and take a look at these experts.

” Chapter 139: Unstable Devastation After he finished speaking, Shi Feng snuck into the forest.

“Sister Fire Dance, what do we do now?

Do we leave?

” Water Buffalo asked.

Fire Dance rolled her eyes at Water Buffalo.

She looked towards the direction Shi Feng departed, saying, “Brother Ye Feng is the one who saved our lives.

Of course, we have to help.

” Although Fire Dance believed in Ye Feng’s strength, she had personally witnessed how powerful those other players were.

If they surrounded Ye Feng, he might end up in a very dangerous situation.

If something occurred, a little help from her might allow Shi Feng to escape.

Immediately, the two snuck into the forest as well, following Ye Feng.

In the deeper regions of the dense forest, among the overgrown shrubs, Level 8 Shadow Leopards hid in the shadows.

At this moment, a 50-man team from Martial Union currently cleared away the Shadow Leopards in their path while they pushed forward.

“Brother Unstable, won’t we waste time if we go after that little girl called Fire Dance instead of continuing our search for Ye Feng’s teammates?

” Ironsword Lion asked, disgruntled; his eyebrows scrunched up tightly as he looked towards the center of the team at the handsome youth humming a song with overflowing interest.

The humming youth was around the age of 27 or 28, and he was indeed the Brother Unstable who Ironsword Lion called out to.

He was also the Vice-Leader of Martial Union, Unstable Devastation.

Be it status or strength, Unstable Devastation far surpasses Ironsword Lion, and even Ironsword Lion had to refer to him as ‘Brother’ respectfully.

“Ironsword, you are still such a simple person.

It is no wonder that brat Ye Feng toyed with you.

You even entangled the Guild in this huge mess.

Thanks to you, Martial Union’s reputation has suffered, utterly tarnished; do you understand that?

” Unstable Devastation suddenly halted his steps.

He looked towards Ironsword Lion, growling angrily, “If I had not discovered this so soon, Martial Union might have had no place in Red Leaf Town by now.

” Ironsword Lion lowered his head in silence.

“Your poor management has already destroyed Red Leaf Town’s Martial Union.

Right now, in order to help clean up this mess of yours, I have no choice but to transfer all of the elites from the other three towns to Red Leaf Town to redeem our reputation.

Yet, you still have the gall to speak up?

” Unstable Devastation reprimanded Ironsword Lion in front of everyone else, not leaving Ironsword Lion any face.

Ironsword Lion flushed red with anger.

However, he did not dare reply, only enduring in silence.

The other leaders from the three towns sneered at this sight.

Every time Martial Union switched to a new game, the Guild’s hierarchy also reshuffled.

In the past, Ironsword Lion was always able to go wild, but not this time.

Currently, Ironsword Lion was only Level 8, while they were all Level 9.

Moreover, the Guild’s development in their respective towns progressed fairly well, and they managed to recruit many newcomers with valuable potential.

Compared to the current state of the Guild branch in Red Leaf Town, with only a few weaklings remaining, their branches were stronger by leaps and bounds.

“Ironsword, do you truly think that, after I have spent so much effort cornering Ye Feng’s teammates, I would let two of them escape?

“You should know that Ye Feng is our main target; his teammates are simply lures.

If all his teammates died here, do you think he will still show?

” “We have already confined his teammates within Gale Valley, so we have achieved our initial goal.

Right now, what we ought to do is to take revenge, and show the players in the town what the consequences are for challenging Martial Union.

Meanwhile, that little girl is the best option as an example.

She has killed so many of our people; many players are bound to pay attention to her.

As long as we kill her back to Level 0, Martial Union’s reputation will definitely recover to its peak.

If we manage to kill Ye Feng, then Martial Union can also use this chance to leap through the threshold of a third-rate Guild.

” Unstable Devastation had long since possessed a plan of his own.

Ironsword Lion had always been one of the Guild Leader’s most trusted aides.

Many of the elders in the Guild also supported the Guild Leader.

If Unstable wished to become Guild Leader, he needed to increase both his influence and fame.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng was a player with a certain amount of fame within White River City.

He was a publicly acknowledged Swordsman expert, and his fame even far exceeded that of the Guild Leader, Nameless Pride.

Hence, Ye Feng was his best choice.

As long as he could kill Ye Feng and upload the recording, he would instantly become an apex expert, famous throughout White River City.

Moreover, it would allow the Guild branch in Red Leaf Town to rise back up to prominence.

When that time came, the elders in the Guild would side with him, and the day he became the Guild Leader of Martial Union would only be around the corner.

“Ye Feng, you will become my stepping stone!

” Unstable Devastation proudly said with a laugh.

He did not believe that an independent player could survive once surrounded by so many.

Only, even until now, Shi Feng had yet to show himself, annoying Unstable.

Just as Martial Union slowly advanced… Shi Feng, traversing through the treetops, discovered Unstable Devastation and the others.

After some silent observation, he discovered that these players were all elites.

The lowest amongst them was Level 7, and a majority of them were Level 8.

There were also four players who had reached Level 9.

They all wore Mysterious-Iron Equipment, and the weakest of their weapons was also Mysterious-Iron Rank.

Meanwhile, the handsome youth leading these players wore a Secret-Silver ranked longbow across his back.

“Isn’t that Unstable Devastation?

” Shi Feng immediately recognized the bow-carrying youth.

In Shi Feng’s previous life, he had clashed many times with Unstable Devastation.

Unstable Devastation was a cunning and cruel individual.

His battle prowess ranked within the top five throughout all of Martial Union.

Compared to Ironsword Lion, he was much stronger.

Shi Feng was also familiar with the other three Level 9 players.

They were all experts comparable to Ironsword Lion, and they were all branch leaders in other towns.

No wonder Martial Union suddenly has so many players.

It turns out that they’ve called over the elites from three of the towns nearby.

 Shi Feng came to a realization.

These three Level 9 branch leaders were very strong.

Only, in Shi Feng’s previous life, Ironsword Lion had managed to obtain the pass to Blackwing City, allowing him a lead against the others.

He then gradually widened the gap, finally becoming the Guild Leader of Mini Martial Union.

However, the tracks of history had already changed.

In this life, not only had Shi Feng kill Ironsword Lion twice, but he also obtained the Blackwing City pass that Ironsword Lion possessed.

Ironsword Lion’s life was fated to end in a tragedy, and he naturally was much weaker than the other three branch leaders.

If it were during the previous life, if Shi Feng met any one of these leaders, he would have had to proceed with extreme caution.

If he met two of them together, he would definitely need to avoid them.

Now, however, although all five of them were together, Shi Feng had no intentions of leaving.

The situation was different this time.

Not only did Shi Feng possess a Magic Weapon, but he had also obtained the Ice-Blue Devil Flame and many other pieces of equipment that were top-tier at this stage of the game.

He also had the advantage of levels; so, he naturally possessed the confidence to battle.

Even if he couldn’t win against them, he could still escape them.

At this moment, Unstable Devastation had yet to learn that one of his elite teams had been wiped out.

That was because players needed to wait 10 minutes before reviving at the graveyard.

Within 30 minutes of revival, players could not transmit any information or communication.

Hence, Unstable Devastation and the others did not know that Shi Feng had arrived.

They were not cautious in the least, and it was a perfect chance for Shi Feng to launch an ambush them.

Hence, Shi Feng continued to follow his target’s unhurried advancement.

While they traveled, the team maintained impressive positioning.

Their healers stayed in the middle, while Unstable Devastation and the other experts walked beside them.

Moreover, the players in the center of the formation only watched the players at the front battle, with no intentions of killing the monsters themselves.

This way, it would be difficult for even a top-tier Assassin to attack the healers.

Meanwhile, the players in the outer layer would not move further than 15 yards from the center.

If something unexpected occurred, they could immediately lend aid.

Shi Feng did not seek a frontal confrontation.

Instead, he would take advantage of his speed to slowly chip at the outer layer of this team.

Soon after, Shi Feng silently closed in on them.

Within a short moment, the players of Martial Union met with a group of Shadow Leopards.

An extremely ferocious Level 8 Chieftain-Ranked Shadow Leopard King led the small leap of Shadow Leopards.

Shi Feng felt that this was his chance.

He crept closer to the team, hiding in a bush and waiting.

Time passed, bit by bit… The guards around the Shadow Leopard King were all dead, and the King was the only one left.

The players of Martial Union grew very excited.

Seeing as good equipment was about to drop, they all became much more serious and focused on the battle.

They remained completely unaware of Shi Feng, already positioned on the tree above their heads.

“MT, make sure to dodge its skills; don’t let its claws land on you.

As for everyone else, hold off as many strikes as you can.

Healers, go all out with your heals.

” Unstable Devastation was also excited.

Immediately, the speed at which the arrows fired from his bow accelerated.

Unstable Devastation did not think that his luck would be so good as to allow him to meet a Level 8 Chieftain.

This kind of field Chieftain would not just drop a single piece of equipment, but would normally drop several.

Based on the Shadow Leopard King’s level, at the very least, it would drop Level 7 or Level 8 Secret-Silver Equipment and possibly Fine-Gold Equipment.

Mysterious-Iron Equipment was considered high quality at this stage of the game.

In the entire Martial Union, the total amount of Secret-Silver Equipment they possessed was no more than ten pieces.

It was obvious just how precious they were.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Leopard King before them had the possibility of dropping Fine-Gold Equipment.

Compared to Secret-Silver Equipment, it was much rarer, and its Attributes were much higher.

Currently, not a single person in Martial Union possessed a piece of Fine-Gold Equipment.

Not to mention Martial Union, even those third-rate Guilds did not possess a single piece of Fine-Gold Equipment.

Only second-rate Guilds or higher possibly owned such an item.

However, Only the Guild Leader or Vice-leader would have access, while elite members could only look at it.

It would be impossible for them to obtain it, as it would be the symbol of a Guild’s status.

If they could obtain one or two pieces of Fine-Gold Equipment, killing Shi Feng would be a small matter.

As the Shadow Leopard King was a Chieftain Rank monster, the other branch leaders and Ironsword Lion also participated in the battle, both sides engaging in intense combat.

[Shadow Leopard King] (Chieftain Rank) Level 8 HP 40,000/40,000 A casual pouncing attack from the Shadow Leopard King could easily end a player’s life, while a single swipe of its tail could obliterate more than half the HP of a group of players.

When it struck with its sharp claws, if an MT did not defend properly, they would instantly die.

If the Shadow Leopard King roared, it could force back the enemies within an 8-yard radius, forcing them into a Fainted state for 3 seconds.

In addition, the Shadow Leopard King was quite nimble and had extremely high Defense.

As a result, the casualties and fatalities on Martial Union’s side were relatively high.

Meanwhile, the damage Martial Union inflicted was limited.

The strongest player among them, Unstable Devastation, could only cause -40 to -50 damage to it, while the others could only manage slightly over -10 damage.

Fortunately, there were plenty of players on Martial Union’s side.

With a total of fifty players surrounding the Shadow Leopard King, they managed to shave off a lot of the monster’s HP.

The Shadow Leopard King’s HP steadily fell, and when its HP was about to reach 50%… Shi Feng immediately used Phantom Kill.

Controlling his doppelganger to circle the group, Shi Feng prepared his doppelganger to ambush the mage classes and healers.

Chapter 140: Shadow Leopard King The Shadow Leopard King was a Level 8 Chieftain Ranked monster.

As long as its HP fell below 50%, it would enter a berserk state.

Both its Attack Power and Attack Speed would then increase by 20%, and even an MT geared with a full set of Level 5 Set Equipment could hold it off.

“Guardian Knights, pay attention to cast Protection Blessing on the Shield Warriors.

Shield Warriors, prepare to activate Shield Wall at any time.

As long as we can endure its berserk period, we will be victorious,” Unstable Devastation knew about the berserk state; hence, he hurriedly gave commands as he saw the Shadow Leopard King’s HP reaching 50%.

Protection Blessing could reduce the damage an ally received by 50%.

A Shield Warrior’s Shield Wall could also reduce damage by 50%.

With both effects stacked, the Shield Warrior would only receive 25% of the total damage.

Even if the Shadow Leopard King went berserk, the Shield Warrior could hold it off completely.

Finally, the Shadow Leopard King’s HP dropped below the 50% threshold.

“Aooo!

” the Shadow Leopard King bellowed, its body abruptly expanding.

Everything was within Unstable Devastation’s grasp.

Just as he was about to reveal a victorious smile, the situation suddenly changed.

At this moment, the Shadow Leopard King summoned two more Level 8 Elite Ranked Shadow Leopards, each of them possessing 3,000 HP.

The two new arrivals roared as they abruptly pounced, arriving behind the healers on the backline.

Before any of these healers could react, the two Shadow Leopards pinned them to the ground.

“Shift focus!

Get rid of these two Elite Shadow Leopards first!

” Unstable Devastation’s expression turned grim.

Just after he finished speaking, the Elite Shadow Leopards annihilated two of their healers.

However, the Level 9 branch leaders were not to be trifled with.

Just after the two Elite Shadow Leopards killed the healers, they moved into position to fend off the attacks of these two monsters, preventing the damage from extending any further.

However, with the loss of two healers, the pressure the core MT faced greatly increased.

Even with Protection Blessing and Shield Wall, every attack he received from the Shadow Leopard King exceeded over -300 points.

On the other hand, his own HP did not even exceed 1,200 points.

Moreover, the Attack Speed of the Shadow Leopard King was very quick.

If it were not for him constantly dodging its attacks, he might have long since died already.

Just with the Shadow Leopard King going berserk, Martial Union had lost over five players in the blink of an eye.

The Shadow Leopard King’s tail swipe took out three melee players.

All three were instantly thrown and died while in mid-air.

“Hold on for a little longer.

Its berserk period will be over soon.

” Watching his team members die, one after another, Unstable Devastation became very depressed and annoyed.

The players he had brought with him were all elites, and every death was a huge loss to Martial Union.

Fortunately, they could revive these players, greatly reducing the lost EXP.

However, as long as they could kill the Shadow Leopard King, all of the losses would be worth it.

Just when everyone from Martial Union thought the situation had stabilized, Shi Feng’s doppelganger used Wind Blade, arriving behind a Cursemancer.

The Cursemancer had completely concentrated on the Shadow Leopard King, chanting incantations.

He paid no attention to the surrounding situation at all.

Due to all of Gale Valley falling under Martial Union’s control, the risk of an ambush was nonexistent.

Hence, the Cursemancer was very much at ease.

However, such a way of thinking was a big mistake.

After the doppelganger’s sword pierced through the Cursemancer’s back, it then followed up with a Chop to the Cursemancer’s head.

The doppelganger followed up with another normal attack.

Although the doppelganger only possessed 50% of the original body’s Attributes, just 50% of Shi Feng’s Attributes was terrifying.

It could compare to a Level 10 Swordsman geared with a complete set of Level 10 Bronze Set Equipment.

Moreover, the doppelganger’s target Cursemancer was only Level 7, wearing only Level 4 and 5 Bronze Equipment.

The difference between them was like the difference between heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, three damages of -189, -468, and -266 appeared above the Cursemancer’s head.

Shi Feng’s doppelganger instantly killed the Cursemancer whose HP was less than 700 points.

The Cursemancer’s death quickly alerted the other mage classes.

“Someone’s kill-stealing[1]!

” an Elementalist shouted, startled.

The surrounding mages all felt a heavy pressure weighing down on them.

This intruder finished off a Level 7 Cursemancer in just three moves.

If this mysterious Swordsman closed in on them, only death awaited.

Without delay, Shi Feng’s doppelganger used Thundering Flash.

Three streaks of lightning arced towards the nearest four mages, immediately sending all four of them into a fright.

Among them, two Elementalists instantly reacted, using Blink to dodge the lightning.

Meanwhile, the Cursemancer, who did not possess Blink, threw himself to the ground, barely avoiding the attack.

However, the last of the four mages, the Summoner, was not as fortunate.

As he was closest to the attack, even though he, too, attempted to dodge, he was late by a breath.

Without a hint of suspense, the Level 5 Thunder Flash instantly fried him to a crisp.

Although the doppelganger only managed to kill a Summoner, a smile appeared on its face.

The goal of this Thundering Flash was not to kill someone but to open a path.

At this moment, there were no obstructions between Shi Feng’s doppelganger and Martial Union’s healers.

The doppelganger activated Windwalk, dashing over.

As long as it killed one or two more healers, Martial Union’s entire team would fall into a huge predicament.

“Don’t even think about killing the healers!

” At this moment, Ironsword Lion used Windblade and rushed to block the doppelganger.

The swords from both parties collided, and as they attacked, they maintained their Extraordinary States, battling with four sword images each.

The doppelganger could not help but halt its momentum, forced to block the attacks.

After exchanging several moves, Ironsword Lion was incomparably shocked.

He felt that the Swordsman, whose information displayed as ‘Unknown,’ facing him was a powerhouse.

This mysterious Swordsman actually blocked all of his attacks.

Moreover, every time their swords collided, Ironsword Lion could feel an immense weight bearing down on him, causing both his arms to go numb.

Occasionally, there were even few sudden stabs aimed at his vitals, forcing him to activate Defensive Blade to block.

“Ironsword, it seems that you have truly fallen.

You can’t even get rid of an average player trying to kill-steal,” a Level 9 Berserker geared in silver-gray battle armor snidely remarked.

“Crap.

Five Rats, you come try, if you have the ability!

” Originally, he was already greatly aggrieved due to the constant pressure from Shi Feng’s doppelganger, and his HP constantly fell.

Now that he received jeers on top of it, he immediately enraged.

“Since you want me to join, then I’ll join!

” the Level 9 Berserker, Five Rats, used Charge at Shi Feng’s doppelganger.

Charge carried with it a Fainted effect.

Moreover, the surrounding mages were already in the midst of chanting incantations for their spells, sending Fireballs and Frost Arrows at the doppelganger.

The doppelganger activated Defensive Blade.

It dodged the incoming magical attacks while it gradually closed in on Martial Union’s healers.

The Level 2 Defensive Blade aided the doppelganger in mitigating the damage from the attacks it received.

However, Five Rats followed up his Charge with a Break, greatly reducing the doppelganger’s speed.

“You three, get rid of him,” Unstable Devastation commanded the three Assassins, pointing.

He did not have the time to think about an idiot who was attempting to kill-stealing a team with around 40 players remaining.

After receiving the command, the there Assassins immediately rushed at Shi Feng’s doppelganger.

Receiving the focused fire of over a dozen players, although the doppelganger managed to dodge a majority of the attacks, it still received a relatively significant amount of damage.

The doppelganger’s HP continuously fell, and within a moment, only 30% remained.

“Hahaha!

I didn’t think that it would be a fat fish with brain problems!

” Judging on the exchanges made and damage caused, Five Rats determined that this mysterious Swordsman’s equipment was exceptional.

As long as he could kill the Swordsman, he would definitely drop a lot of good equipment.

The reason Five Rats thought so was that a single normal attack from the mysterious Swordsman dealt him around -100 damage.

Meanwhile, his normal attacks also chipped away 100 of the Swordsman’s HP.

However, the problem lay in the fact that the mysterious Swordsman used a one-handed sword, while he used a two-handed sword.

In God’s Domain, a two-handed weapon’s Attack Power was much higher than that of a one-handed weapon, and the damage a two-handed weapon caused was normally around twice that of a one-handed weapon.

Due to the strong power stored within a two-handed weapon, every attack from the weapon could cause a devastating amount of damage.

Meanwhile, the damage a one-handed weapon could cause was much less.

However, its Attack Speed was much quicker.

As a result, the average amount of damage dealt by both weapons, in the long run, was about the same.

However, Five Rats had only managed to deal -100 damage to the mysterious Swordsman.

It showed just how good the mysterious Swordsman’s equipment was.

Unfortunately, it is still too little… It would be great if they could send more people over.

 In the distance, hidden within a bush, Shi Feng was slightly depressed as he saw that a dozen or so players attacked his doppelganger.

He bitterly thought, Forget it; I shouldn’t be too greedy.

I should reel in the net, now .

Abruptly, Shi Feng’s doppelganger burst with power.

It suddenly leaped into the air.

The Abyssal Blade in the doppelganger’s hand then started to emit flames and thunder, immediately releasing a blast of elements towards the most crowded location.

TL Notes: [1]kill-stealing(KS): In multiplayer video games, particularly in MOBAs, first-person shooters, MMORPGs and MUDs, kill stealing is the practice of obtaining credit for killing an enemy, when another player has put more effort into the kill.

This usually happens when a game only keeps track of which player defeats an enemy.

If one player whittles down some enemy’s health points, but a different player eventually finishes the enemy off, this second player might obtain all of the loot or experience points from the enemy.

Kill stealing is common when the rewards for finishing enemies off is highly desired within the game.

(Source: Wikipedia) Chapter 141: You are Ye Feng?

The sudden burst of power coming from Shi Feng’s doppelganger alarmed the players who were previously behaving indifferently.

A vast sea of thunder and flames erupted from the doppelganger’s Thunder Flame Explosion.

The players present could feel an oppressive feeling that was even more powerful than that of the Shadow Leopard King.

As for the ones who were in direct confrontation with the doppelganger’s Thunder Flame Explosion… “No!

” A few players immediately cried out in fear when confronted with the approaching fire and thunder.

They all turned around and fled immediately.

However, Thunder Flame Explosion had an effective radius of five yards.

Moreover, the skill descended on the players extremely quickly, and they had no time to run out of the area at all.

They were only able to watch helplessly as the power of the skill consumed them.

The players who possessed lifesaving skills immediately activated them.

Assassins used Wind Steps; Swordsmen used Parry; Berserkers used Block.

As for those who had their lifesaving skills on cooldown, all of them were swallowed by the thunder and fire.

Without lifesaving skills, those with already low HP immediately died.

In the end, four members of Martial Union died from the doppelganger’s Thunder Flame Explosion, while the remaining survivors all heaved a sigh of relief.

“Humph!

Brat, you’re dead now for sure, so just accept your fate!

” The Level 9 Berserker, Five Rats, glared at Shi Feng’s doppelganger, smiling contemptuously.

He abruptly brandished his greatsword, casting Cleave on the doppelganger.

The other survivors also used their explosively powerful skills, launching their attacks towards Shi Feng’s doppelganger.

Shi Feng’s doppelganger suddenly smiled.

The doppelganger did not attempt to defend against any of the attacks.

Instead, it used Earth Splitter, slashing its sword towards the players from Martial Union.

Witnessing Shi Feng’s ludicrous actions, the players from Martial Union were all dumbfounded.

Did he want them to perish together with him?

The might of the Earth Splitter was extremely great, and the attacking players were all caught by surprise.

In the blink of an eye, two low HP players were killed by the doppelganger’s sword, with three having their HP reduced to a critical level.

Only Ironsword Lion and Five Rats still had over half of their HP.

However, Shi Feng’s doppelganger was similarly struck by everyone’s skills, and its HP continuously fell.

Within the blink of an eye, its HP was close to reaching zero.

“You’re truly a lunatic.

However, your equipment, I’ll gladly receive.

” Greed flashed across Five Rats’ eyes as he looked at Shi Feng’s dark black equipment.

This mysterious Swordsman had taken the initiative to attack them, even managing to cull quite a lot of their numbers, so he had definitely become a Red Player, a huge one at that.

If he were to die, he might even drop every single piece of equipment on his person.

Moreover, both Swordsmen and Berserkers wore plate armor.

Also, very little equipment at this stage of the game had class limitations.

So, there was a possibility that Five Rats would be able to use some of the equipment that dropped.

Ironsword Lion also heaved a sigh of relief.

The mysterious Swordsman before him was just too powerful.

If not for so many players surrounding the mysterious Swordsman, Ironsword Lion would have very quickly been killed.

However, for reasons unknown, Ironsword Lion had felt a sense of familiarity when he crossed swords with the mysterious Swordsman.

Yet, he was unable to figure out why.

At this moment, Shi Feng’s doppelganger sent a faint smile at Five Rats.

Swap!

At the instant the doppelganger was about to disappear, Shi Feng’s original body swapped positions with the doppelganger.

However, nobody managed to discover this fact.

The Abyssal Blade and Silver Lake in Shi Feng’s hands transformed into a storm, sweeping across all the surviving melee players.

Sixteen sword images instantly stabbed towards the players who had lowered their guards.

Five Rats looked at his own HP rapidly sliding downwards, dumbfounded.

His heart filled with both shock and confusion.

Wasn’t the mysterious Swordsman in front of him supposed to be dead?

So, why was the mysterious Swordsman still able to attack him?

Moreover, the mysterious Swordsman’s speed was so great that not even Five Rats himself was able to react.

Two swords, sixteen sword images.

Just what sort of speed was this?

However, the more shocking matter to Five Rats was the mysterious Swordsman’s damage.

Even Five Rats, whose damage and defense were the highest amongst the players present, had received over -300 points of damage from each sword image, with the highest damage reaching over -500 points.

Five Rats’ HP was only a measly 840 points, and even under a state of full HP, he would still be instantly killed.

“You are Ye Feng?

” Ironsword Lion glared at Ye Feng as he died, both his eyes turning incomparably crimson.

His eyes were full of both shock and unwillingness.

He truly did not think that he would actually be killed by Ye Feng once again.

The reason he felt that the mysterious Swordsman was Ye Feng was that he was extremely familiar with this move.

He had been killed by this move twice before, and it would be hard for him to forget it even if he wanted to.

Originally, he could have become an influential figure in Red Leaf Town, catching up to the influence of a third-rate Guild.

In the end, however, he was turned into a mess by Ye Feng.

He had even lost his most precious pass to Blackwing City.

After he placed a bounty on Ye Feng and his teammates, he in turn had a bounty placed upon him by Ye Feng, becoming the laughingstock of the entire White River City.

Originally, he thought that he would be able to give Ye Feng a crushing defeat with a high bounty.

In the end, however, a large majority of his Guild members were crushed and ended up leaving the Guild.

The original member count of Martial Union in Red Leaf Town was quickly reduced from the original hundred-plus members down to less than ten players.

Martial Union then became the laughingstock of the players in Red Leaf Town.

Now, they had prepared to surround Ye Feng, but the results had still turned out as such.

Again and again, Ironsword Lion had tried to deal with Ye Feng.

Yet, every single time, he ended up with failure.

Ironsword Lion even believed that Ye Feng was the bane of his life.

Otherwise, how could he explain his continuous series of failures?

Now that Ye Feng had killed him for the third time, Ironsword Lion’s confidence had been thoroughly shattered.

The first time, he used the excuse that he was ambushed by Ye Feng, being killed in just two moves.

The second time, he used the excuse of not having a full understanding of Ye Feng’s strength, being insta-killed in just one move.

Now, it was the third time.

Ye Feng did not even use a skill this time, yet Ironsword Lion was still instantly killed in just two attacks.

A deep fear had been instilled into Ironsword Lion.

Every time he met with Ye Feng, he could feel that the gap between himself and Ye Feng was growing wider and wider.

Up until this instance, he did not even possess the qualifications to go against Ye Feng.

It was just like how Absolute Heaven had killed him many times over in the past.

Although he frantically tried to take revenge, in the end, he would still choose to compromise.

Be it Absolute Heaven or Ye Feng, both were existences that he could no longer afford to provoke.

When the players from Martial Union heard Ironsword Lion’s dying words, each and every one of them was greatly shocked.

Being able to kill five players within an instant, with branch leaders like Ironsword Lion and Five Rats included amongst them… This strength was simply too frightening… “So he is Ye Feng?

” It was the first time Unstable Devastation personally met Ye Feng.

Although he tried identifying Ye Feng’s information, the results he obtained actually displayed it as unknown, giving him a slight shock.

Aside from Ye Feng’s HP bar, there was nothing else Unstable Devastation could see.

However, the dark black equipment Ye Feng was wearing was undoubtedly an Equipment Set.

Also, due to the hooded cape Ye Feng was wearing, Unstable Devastation was unable to get a clear image of his appearance.

Ye Feng held a sword of unidentifiable quality in one hand, and a treasured sword that gave off a light blue glow in the other.

The treasured sword was at least Secret-Silver Ranked.

Judging from Ye Feng’s performance in the battle before, Ye Feng was much stronger than what Ironsword Lion had stated… If Ye Feng was already so powerful right now, he would definitely become unstoppable in the future.

If Unstable Devastation were to meet Ye Feng before, he definitely would not have provoked Ye Feng, no matter what.

However, Ye Feng already had an unresolvable grudge with Martial Union, so Unstable Devastation would not be courteous with him anymore.

Before Ye Feng grew to unreachable heights, he needed to thoroughly nip the bud.

While everyone else was observing Shi Feng’s information, Shi Feng himself did not stay idle.

He bent down, picking up all five pieces of equipment that dropped on the ground and storing them in his bag.

He would be able to sell the equipment for a large sum of money.

Seeing Ye Feng take away five pieces of equipment that were above Level 5, Unstable Devastation trembled in rage.

This equipment all belonged to their Martial Union, yet Ye Feng actually dared take it away right before his eyes!

Shi Feng simply did not place any importance on him!

“Originally, I was still worried that you were an extraordinarily calm person, and that you would not show up no matter what.

However, I never imagined that you were just a simple fool.

Since you have arrived, I’ll just deal with you as well!

” Unstable Devastation squinted his eyes, a chilling glow coming from them.

He stared fixedly at Shi Feng, laughing coldly as he said, “Aside from Shield Warriors, Guardian Knights, and healers, everyone else, get rid of him for me!

” Unstable Devastation did not know how Ye Feng was able to enter the Gale Valley undetected.

He was even able to discover them while they were in the midst of battling against the Shadow Leopard King.

However, Ye Feng was simply courting death by hurrying to this place.

Unstable Devastation aimed his bow at Ye Feng, locking onto Ye Feng’s vital points.

 Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

 Three arrows consecutively fired out of Unstable Devastation’s bow.

Right now, the Shadow Leopard King’s berserk period was already over, and its remaining HP did not reach even 30%.

The two Elite Shadow Leopards that the king summoned previously were also dead now, so it was only a matter of time before the Shadow Leopard King itself would die.

Unstable Devastation was not afraid of Ye Feng’s disturbance at all.

At this moment, the other players all started sending attacks at Shi Feng.

Fireball, Frost Arrow, Dark Arrow, Charge, and many more attacking and restricting skills… Shi Feng smiled as he looked at everyone attacking him, not moving a single step.

He then used Silent Steps to quietly appear behind the healers of Martial Union, very quickly dodging everyone’s attacks.

Chapter 142: Turnabout Shi Feng’s Silent Steps allowed him to move behind a target within a 40-yard distance.

Although it was not as convenient as an Elementalist’s Blink and had a longer Cooldown, its range was much farther than Blink.

Moreover, there were no activation gestures required for the skill.

The skill could be activated wordlessly, making it extremely hard to discover.

“No!

” “Run!

” Unstable Devastation abruptly shouted when he observed his surroundings, suddenly discovering Shi Feng behind their healers.

Although the healers heard Unstable Devastation yelling, they still turned their heads to look at him.

They had no idea what Unstable Devastation was trying to say.

Why did they need to run?

“Too late.

” Naturally, Shi Feng would not give them any chances.

To save time, he did not even use a skill.

Instead, he instantly created twelve sword images, instant-killing the four defenseless healers.

“Ye Feng!

” Unstable Devastation glared at Shi Feng, both his eyes emitting flames of rage.

He bellowed, “You’re courting death!

” Unstable Devastation was truly furious now.

With all their healers dead, they would definitely have to pay an extremely high price to deal with the Shadow Leopard King.

There was even a possibility of them team-wiping, and the main culprit of this was Ye Feng.

In the blink of an eye, Unstable Devastation retrieved five pitch-black arrows from his bag.

He aimed and shot all of them at Shi Feng in succession.

Fatal Shot!

The five arrows almost instantly pierced Shi Feng’s vital points; they blocked Shi Feng’s path.

“You guys enjoy yourselves!

I’ll leave first!

” After killing all of the healers, Shi Feng revealed a faint smile at the arrows flying towards him.

He dared not stay any longer.

If he fell under the restricting skills of other classes, he would end tragically.

It would be better for him to depart now and observe the tigers battle each other.

Hence, Shi Feng activated Windwalk, leaving behind an afterimage as he disappeared towards the forest.

In the end, the five arrows only sliced through the afterimage Shi Feng left behind.

Although the players from Martial Union tried to chase after Shi Feng, his speed was just too fast for them.

After he entered the forest, they could no longer find any trace of him.

“Abominable…!

” Watching Shi Feng escape, Unstable Devastation’s expression turned indignant, his fists tightening.

“Boss Unstable, are we still giving chase?

” an Assassin carefully asked.

Unstable Devastation shook his head, dismal, “No.

” With all their healers dead, if they were to simultaneously search for Shi Feng while they battled the Shadow Leopard King, there would only be one ending for them: a complete team-wipe.

That would even allow Shi Feng to reap the benefits.

Just the battle prowess Shi Feng displayed was enough to give Unstable Devastation a headache.

If he sent only a single party to chase Shi Feng, it would be no different than serving them up on a silver platter.

Without a full team, they would have no way of dealing with Shi Feng.

Moreover, if Shi Feng used that extraordinary speed of his to engage in a getaway battle, a single team would not be enough to deal with him.

If they rushed into the forest to chase after Shi Feng, he would simply pick them off, one by one, while they would be completely helpless.

“Everyone, retreat!

Don’t bother with the Shadow Leopard King anymore, and prepare for an ambush by Ye Feng!

Notify the other teams, and tell them to gather here immediately.

If he thinks he can take advantage of me, he should think again!

” Unstable Devastation said in a calm tone.

He suppressed his anger, calming his excited heart.

The Shadow Leopard King still had 20% of its HP remaining, and they would need to throw away a lot of lives to kill it.

Although it was unfortunate to give up on the Shadow Leopard King, Unstable Devastation did not believe that Shi Feng would not return to take advantage of the injured.

Not only could he get rid of them this way, but he could also obtain the loot from the Shadow Leopard King.

Killing two birds with one stone, who wouldn’t go for such a good deal?

Thinking up to this point, Unstable Devastation decided to give up on the Shadow Leopard King.

Instead of letting Shi Feng gain an advantage, he would rather give up.

That way, neither side would gain anything.

Right now, the Shadow Leopard King still had 20% of its HP remaining.

Even if Shi Feng wanted to kill it, it would be impossible.

If he tried, they might benefit from it.

Not only would they get to kill Ye Feng, but Ye Feng would also have reduced the Shadow Leopard King’s HP even further.

If Shi Feng did not intend to deal with the Shadow Leopard King, that, too, would be fine.

As long as their other forces arrive, the Shadow Leopard King would still belong to Martial Union.

At that time, Shi Feng could only watch from the side.

With Unstable Devastation’s command, the members of Martial Union could only helplessly retreat, giving up a good chance to kill the Shadow Leopard King.

However, before the players from Martial Union could properly retreat, the Shadow Leopard King suddenly let out a fierce roar.

It summoned forth two Elite Shadow Leopards once more to chase after them.

As Martial Union’s players retreated and the Shadow Leopards pursued them, they discovered a peculiar matter.

The Shadow Leopard King did not seem to intend to give up the chase whatsoever.

It had killed many other players and even decimated most of a Shield Warrior’s HP.

“Boss Unstable, the Shadow Leopard King is faster than us, and it is still chasing after us.

If this continues, it will wipe us out sooner or later.

What do we do now?

” an Elementalist beside Unstable Devastation asked worriedly.

“I can see that!

I don’t need you to remind me!

” Unstable Devastation said in a huff.

Unstable Devastation suffered a massive headache over the incessant pursuit by the Shadow Leopard King.

If he had known earlier, he would have chosen to kill the Shadow Leopard King instead.

He truly did not think that this Shadow Leopard King would bear a grudge, refusing to give up.

They could not escape even if they wanted to now.

Moreover, more members were dying in the chase than in the fight.

“Notify the other teams to hurry.

We’ll delay the Shadow Leopard King while we move toward the meeting point, and look out for ambushes.

” Helpless about the situation, Unstable Devastation could only think of this plan.

Meanwhile, hidden within the forest, Shi Feng witnessed this scene with perfect clarity.

Although Unstable Devastation’s decision was an intelligent one, he could not outdo Shi Feng.

Shi Feng had long since known that the Shadow Leopard King would ceaselessly chase after Martial Union.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to depart.

He was merely awaiting the perfect chance to take action.

After God’s Domain evolved, the range of monsters’ activity had also greatly increased.

For Chieftain ranked monsters such as the Shadow Leopard King, its range of activity might even encompass a large half of the entire Gale Valley.

Unless everyone from Martial Union left the Gale Valley, or they entered the core area of the Gale Valley, the Shadow Leopard King would not let them get away.

As time slowly passed, the number of players the Shadow Leopard King killed grew higher and higher.

However, it only had 10% HP remaining now.

Meanwhile, Martial Union’s previous 50-man team had only 16 players remaining.

One could not help but admit that the losses they suffered were incomparably bitter.

“Are they still not here?

” Unstable Devastation paid attention to the surrounding movements as he attacked the Shadow Leopard King, his heart filled with wariness for Shi Feng’s ambush.

Now that the Shadow Leopard King had less than 10% HP remaining, it was definitely an opportune time for Shi Feng to launch an ambush.

Hence, Unstable Devastation’s expression turned exceptionally grave.

“Boss Unstable, they said that they are only ten minutes away.

” “Ten minutes?

Why don’t you tell them to go die instead?!

” Unstable Devastation cursed.

This was a crucial moment.

The Shadow Leopard King in front of them was about to die, and Shi Feng would appear at any given moment.

If they waited for another ten minutes, the Shadow Leopard King would already be dead.

He truly regretted not bringing more players with him.

Now, Shi Feng, who was hiding in a dark corner, possessed the advantage of initiative, while they were completely helpless against him.

It was truly depressing.

After a period, the Shadow Leopard King’s HP fell below 2%.

However, there were still no signs of Shi Feng’s assault, causing Unstable Devastation to become incomparably excited.

“Everyone surround the Shadow Leopard King and focus all firepower on it!

It is about to die, so look out for Ye Feng!

” Unstable Devastation said with a loud laugh.

If Shi Feng had appeared sometime earlier, there was an 80% chance of them team-wiping.

Now that the Shadow Leopard King was about to die, however, even if Shi Feng dared to show himself, Unstable Devastation was confident at holding him at bay, allowing his teammates to kill the Shadow Leopard King.

Finally, the Shadow Leopard King’s HP fell below 200 points.

As long as Martial Union sent two more rounds of attacks at it, they would kill the Shadow Leopard King.

“Hahaha!

The Shadow Leopard King is mine!

” Unstable Devastation used Power Shot.

He had long since accumulated his Power[1] to the maximum amount, and a single arrow could deal over -100 damage to the Shadow Leopard King.

Shu!

The arrow whistled through the air, flying towards the Shadow Leopard King’s weak point.

At this moment, Shi Feng suddenly appeared, without a sound, behind the Shadow Leopard King.

He sent a Chop slashing down on the monster, causing -332 damage, killing the Shadow Leopard King.

Meanwhile, Unstable Devastation’s arrow merely shot the Shadow Leopard King’s corpse.

In God’s Domain, if players of a different party or team dealt with the same monster, the player who delivered the final strike would obtain 60% of the monster’s EXP.

Due to the Shadow Leopard King being a Level 8 Chieftain, the EXP it gave was extremely bountiful.

Within an instant, Shi Feng’s experience bar greatly rose.

Meanwhile, the dozen or so players only shared the remaining 40% EXP amongst themselves.

Immediately after the Shadow Leopard King died, it dropped a large pile of items.

There were over ten items, and it was one of the rarely seen mammoth drops.

“Get rid of him!

” Unstable Devastation bellowed, his eyes bulging.

Immediately, more than a dozen players surrounded Shi Feng, giving him no chances to escape.

Each and every one of them used their restricting skills on Shi Feng.

Shi Feng paid no attention to them as he activated Defensive Blade.

He then frantically picked up the drops.

Streaks of magic struck Shi Feng’s body, one after another, but they were all blocked by Defensive Blade.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng had picked up nine pieces of the loot.

Among them was even an item that gave off a dazzling black glow.

A single look and one could immediately tell that the item was nothing ordinary.

It was definitely priceless.

Seeing that the charges of the Defensive Blade were about to run out completely, he immediately swapped places with his doppelganger located deep within the forest.

He instantly escaped from Martial Union’s encirclement, while his doppelganger received attacks from all directions.

Until the moment the doppelganger died, it managed to kill another five members of Martial Union, including a Level 9 Elementalist branch leader.

When Unstable Devastation discovered that the Shi Feng they killed was only a doppelganger, he truly exploded.

“Ye Feng, just you wait!

” Unstable Devastation’s bellow resounded throughout the forest.

He had spent so much effort and had lost so much.

Yet, in the end, all he did was pave the way for Shi Feng.

Even if Unstable Devastation wanted to calm down, he could not.

He swore that he would definitely kill Shi Feng back to Level 0.
