Chapter 1 The Initial Clash

The initial exchange between the two guardian knights created a huge commotion. The entire sky seemed to shatter like glass, visible even from a thousand yards away.

"So strong!"

At this moment, the major forces and independent experts who were watching the battle through the magic mirrors in Silverwing Town were stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The clash between the two didn't seem like a confrontation between players at all, but rather like two giant beasts fighting each other. Every move shook the heavens and the earth, and their strength was on a completely different level.

"How is this possible?"

Yan Tianxing felt a surge of emotion as he watched Black Panther Tianxia retreat three steps.

He knew Black Panther Tianxia's strength very well. He definitely possessed more power than a Great Lord of the same level. With skill enhancements, his strength could rival that of a High Great Lord. When facing this attack, he could only rely on Vanish or Gale Steps' brief invincibility to evade.

But Kele had suppressed Black Panther Tianxia with just an ordinary Tier 2 skill, and his strength was clearly superior...

It would be understandable if he had activated a burst skill, but Kele clearly hadn't used any. He simply used a Tier 2 skill, yet his strength was inhuman.

"Who exactly is he?" Black Panther Tianxia stared intently at Kele, who looked like a grizzly bear, a hint of fear in his eyes.

Compared to Yan Tianxing's shock, Black Panther Tianxia was even more surprised.

Their Mad Beast Legion wasn't made up of ordinary Tier 2 players, but players who had undergone bloodline replacement. Their life level was higher than that of ordinary Tier 2 classes, comparable to demon players who could transform. Unlike those demon players, their basic attributes would increase more as they leveled up, making them stronger than Tier 2 players in terms of basic attributes.

The only drawback was that after bloodline replacement, the player's path to advancement would become difficult. However, the players who could enter the Mad Beast Legion were all outstanding experts, one in a million. They were confident that they could continue to advance, and after advancing, they would be even more powerful than players of the same rank, so they naturally didn't care about the advancement problem.

But despite his surprise, battles between players weren't just about basic attributes. Black Panther Tianxia immediately raised his shield and charged at Kele again. This time, Black Panther Tianxia didn't plan to attack head-on, but chose to use hit-and-run tactics, looking for Kele's weaknesses to constantly deplete his health.

After bloodline replacement, not only did basic attributes improve, but reaction ability and speed also increased significantly. This didn't have much effect on agile assassin classes, but it had a huge effect on clumsy guardian knights.

Kele didn't give Black Panther Tianxia any chance at all. He directly used the Scorching Wind Set effect, transforming into the God of Fire. In an instant, he became a Flame God six meters tall, wielding a Flame Axe in one hand and a Flame Shield in the other, as if he were the ruler of this world.

Then, Kele raised the Flame Axe and chopped down at Black Panther Tianxia, who was charging towards him.

After the initial exchange, Kele understood Black Panther Tianxia's strength. If he purely relied on skills, he would definitely lose and be slowly worn down by Black Panther Tianxia. After all, Black Panther Tianxia's basic attributes weren't much worse than his. If he wanted to win, he could only use brute force.

"Damn it!"

Black Panther Tianxia's expression changed drastically as he watched the sky fill with fire pillars. He could feel that the strength of this force was approaching the Legendary rank. Kele's axe not only had immense power, but its attack range was also 30 yards. With the two only ten yards apart, there was no way to avoid it. He could only resist it head-on.

Black Panther Tianxia instinctively activated his burst skill, and his attributes soared. He activated Blessing of Protection and charged forward.

The fire pillar from the Flame Axe struck Black Panther Tianxia's shield, instantly creating a pillar of fire that soared into the sky. The ground beneath Black Panther Tianxia's feet instantly turned to scorched earth.

Boom!

As the firelight dissipated, everyone present gasped.

The gap between the two hadn't seemed that large before, but now that they had activated their burst modes, the difference in strength was a whole level higher.

Kele's single strike directly reduced Black Panther Tianxia's health by one-fifth, and the entire ground was three to four meters deep. The terrifying power was simply inhuman.

However, no one knew that the Scorching Wind Set Kele was wearing was known as the strongest set among level 70 sets. Although it was only an Fine-Gold set, after transforming into the God of Fire, he could possess the life level of an Archaic species, not to mention the attribute boost. Ordinary bursts simply couldn't compete.

After one strike, Kele didn't stop. He raised the Flame Axe and struck again. With the life level of an Archaic species, his reaction speed and senses were completely different than before. His axe strikes were fierce and ruthless, giving Black Panther Tianxia no chance to breathe.

One axe... Two axes... Three axes...

By the fifth axe, Black Panther Tianxia's health had been completely depleted. His entire body turned to charcoal, and he was as dead as could be...

Kele's series of attacks seemed numerous, but in reality, they happened in a very short time. The healers in the Mad Beast Legion behind Black Panther Tianxia didn't even have time to react. It was as if time had frozen at this moment. Everyone stared intently at Kele, who had transformed into the God of Fire, their eyes filled with fear.

"How could this be?"

The members of the Mad Beast Legion were stunned for a moment, completely unable to believe that Black Panther Tianxia, who had activated his burst mode and life-saving skills, had died so decisively. He didn't even have the ability to resist and was hacked to death on the spot.

What skills?

What life-saving skills?

In the face of absolute power, they were all just fleeting clouds!

Just as Kele was preparing to take further action and charge into the Mad Beast Legion, a figure suddenly appeared behind Kele. A bright, snow-white dagger turned into a cold white light and suddenly stabbed into Kele's back. Kele didn't react at all, and his health instantly dropped by one-ninth.

This shocked Kele. As the God of Fire, his health was over a million, and his defense was terrifyingly high. It would be impressive if an ordinary Tier 2 class could deal 20,000 damage to him, but now he had taken over 150,000 damage in one hit. The attack power was simply terrifying.

Kele quickly used Flame God's Roar, letting out a furious roar. Instantly, a pillar of fire erupted from his feet, covering a radius of 15 yards, trying to force the figure back.

Before disappearing, the figure gave Kele another strike, causing Kele's health to drop again. By the time the pillar of fire erupted, the figure had already appeared 15 yards away, as if a ghost.

As the figure retreated beyond the 15-yard range, everyone finally reacted and saw the figure's true appearance. They discovered it was a beautiful woman with snow-white hair, silver-white divine runes floating around her, and two daggers that were completely snow-white. Her black dress made her look like a fairy in the night, captivating everyone.

"Be careful! She is Yu Mo, the Mad Beast Legion's number one assassin!" Yan Tianxing looked at the figure, his eyes filled with deep fear, and shouted a warning.

He had a fresh memory of this woman, or rather, it was hard to forget. If he hadn't had an Ancient Life-Saving Scroll, he would have died at Yu Mo's hands long ago.

At this moment, Kele was also using his five senses to their maximum limit, because the woman in front of him posed a deadly threat. If he hadn't transformed into the God of Fire, he would have died at Yu Mo's hands in less than two moves.

At this moment, the Mad Beast Legion on the hill cheered. Although Kele had killed their captain, Black Panther Tianxia, the gap between the captains in their Mad Beast Legion was huge.

"It seems we underestimated the experts of Zero Wing." Vice Guild Leader Yun Manshan glanced at Kele, then instructed, "Notify the people from Xuanyuan Three Killers to hurry up. These people from Zero Wing are not simple. Also, Hui Mang, lead a team to help Yu Mo and the others. It will take some time for Yu Mo alone to deal with that guardian knight."

Kele's performance was indeed surprising, but Yun Manshan knew Yu Mo's strength very well. It wouldn't be difficult to kill Kele, but the other members of the Mad Beast Legion might be in for a tough fight. In order to end the battle quickly and avoid further losses, he sent out a small team.

Just as Yun Manshan sent Hui Mang to assist, the members of Zero Wing also started fighting with the Mad Beast Legion. Kele frantically used his ultimate moves against Yu Mo, but Yu Mo's speed was as fast as a ghost. Even though Kele attacked like crazy, he couldn't even touch the hem of Yu Mo's clothes. On the contrary, Yu Mo was able to inflict some damage on Kele from time to time.

"It seems the experts of Zero Wing are nothing more than this."

Yu Mo glanced at the frantically attacking Kele, suddenly reversed her grip on the daggers. The two snow-white daggers instantly transformed into two crystal-clear short swords. The sharp blades faintly revealed that even space was being cut open.

Then, Yu Mo's figure flashed, transforming into three, each attacking Kele.

Six black lines were drawn in the air by the sharp blades, quickly spreading towards Kele. Even though Kele's reaction speed had improved a lot, he could only block three or four of them.

Just as two of the black lines were about to slash across Kele's fiery body, two flashes of sword light suddenly flashed past. Instantly, the two black lines that touched the sword light directly collapsed, turning into countless starlight. Kele himself was not harmed in any way.

"Who are you?" Yu Mo's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she glanced at the figure that had appeared beside Kele.

Her attack was perfect, and its power was approaching the Legendary rank. Even Kele, who had immense power, could only barely withstand it. But the figure that had appeared had easily blocked the attack. Most importantly, she was able to capture her attack trajectory.

Her attack trajectory was constantly changing, and her speed was extremely fast. If Kele hadn't had a shield, it would have been impossible to block three or four attacks.

Yan Tianxing, who had arrived from afar, also looked at the unharmed Kele in disbelief.

If he had been the one to rescue Kele, he would have been able to block one of them at most. After all, the attack was too powerful and too fast. It wasn't something that could be blocked just by wanting to.

After a brief silence, a clear and melodious voice echoed throughout the battlefield from the figure beside Kele.

"Zero Wing, Fire Dance!"
