Chapter 1 The Roaring Thunder

Violent lightning power roamed the empty ground, the entire surface looking as if it had been struck by a meteor.

A crater with a radius of over 200 yards appeared before everyone's eyes. Scattered within were various weapons and equipment dropped by players, numbering over a thousand pieces. The lowest quality of each piece was Fine-Gold rank at Level 65. Such a quantity of top-tier weapons and equipment would make even super forces envious.

But as they gazed upon this scene, all that filled their hearts was shock and fear.

A full thousand experts, and not ordinary experts at that. A considerable portion were experts at the Microscopic Realm, top-tier figures that could be counted on one hand even within first-rate guilds. Yet, they had been so easily wiped out, without even a shred of resistance...

"How could this be?!"

Standing on the city walls, Yuan Tiexin stared at the scene, his heart filled with disbelief.

Star Ring possessed an Epic-rank defensive treasure. This kind of defensive treasure was even more precious than Zero Wing's mobile defensive magic array, with a maximum endurance capable of withstanding Tier 4 attacks. As long as it was activated, it could even withstand the attacks of a magic tower.

That was why Chen Hui dared to appear ostentatiously within a thousand yards of Stone Forest City.

The only drawback was that replenishing its mana was very troublesome, requiring a long time to recharge with magic crystals after each use.

But even so, Star Ring relied on this defensive treasure to crush War Soul's Undying, preventing them from successfully capturing the fortress of the Ancient Undead Kingdom, instead suffering heavy losses.

Yet, this defensive treasure that Star Ring regarded as its greatest defense was instantly destroyed, unable to even put up a semblance of resistance. Destroyed in an instant, annihilating a thousand Star Ring experts, and heavily injuring three Legendary monsters...

"Just how much power is this Black Flame hiding?" Sheng Wuji, watching from afar, was also dumbfounded, unable to resist looking at Shi Feng standing on the city wall in the magic mirror.

The power Shi Feng had displayed in killing the Heavenly Demon Legion was already terrifying enough, but compared to now, it was nothing more than a small trick.

If Shi Feng had used this move before, he feared neither their Horned Dragon Legion nor the Heavenly Demon Legion would have lived to leave, instantly turned to ashes.

On the Flame War Elephant, Chen Hui, who had originally turned to ashes, suddenly reformed into a physical body. Seeing this devastated scene, his eyes were filled with both terror and rage.

"Black! Flame! I want you dead!" Chen Hui's eyes turned bloodshot as he glared at Shi Feng, spitting out each word.

As the vice president of Star Ring, he was equipped with an Ancient Resurrection Scroll, giving him a second life without suffering any death penalty.

But the Ancient Resurrection Scroll was incredibly precious. He had only received one after joining Star Ring, and obtaining another was virtually impossible.

However, that was not the most important thing.

The death of a thousand experts was the most devastating!

These experts were not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry from the guild, ordinary experts who could only reach the fifth floor of the Trial Tower. They were all carefully selected experts, the weakest of whom were experts from the seventh floor of the Trial Tower.

Not to mention that in order to seize Stone Forest City this time, Guild Leader Lu Xingluo had granted him the authority to mobilize a large number of Microscopic Realm experts. Microscopic Realm experts! Each one was the guild's lifeblood.

Now, because of Shi Feng's one move, more than two hundred of them had been wiped out...

Such a huge loss had never occurred since the establishment of Star Ring. Yet, such a thing had happened to him, and the reason for all of this was Shi Feng!

After Chen Hui issued his orders, the three Flame War Elephants roared and directly charged towards Stone Forest City's defensive magic array. The remaining nearly one thousand Star Ring members all took out their trump cards and attacked Stone Forest City.

For a time, magic and explosions became the main melody of the Forest of the Dead.

Although the three Flame War Elephants were heavily injured, they were still Legendary monsters, capable of unleashing Tier 4 power, causing considerable energy consumption to the defensive magic array. The fully armed Star Ring members could each unleash Tier 3 power, and the attacks of nearly a thousand people was also a considerable impact on the defensive magic array.

After just one wave of attacks, the entire Stone Forest City's defensive magic array shook violently, faintly feeling like it couldn't hold on.

The people of Stone Forest City also launched a counterattack. One by one, they cast spells on the city walls, or used small crossbow carriages and turrets, and so on. Even the magic tower launched a frantic attack on Star Ring.

However, the Star Ring members were all experts. Aside from the magic tower's attacks being very troublesome, they could easily dodge other attacks. And the magic tower's attack interval was very long, and there was only one of them, far inferior to turrets and arrow towers.

As for the NPC guards in the city, they only attacked through long-range means such as magic, unable to exert their close-quarters advantage. Because there were three Legendary monsters outside, the NPC guards would only be courting death if they went out. It was better to attack from the city walls.

The only ones who could go out were Shi Feng and other top experts from Tianji Pavilion, and the ten or so Tier 3 summoned beasts that Tianji Pavilion had managed to create. Because at this level of combat, it seemed small, but ordinary experts and Microscopic Realm experts would only be cannon fodder if they went out.

"Die! Die! Black Flame, you will die!"

Chen Hui unreservedly drank a berserk potion, activated his burst mode, and led people to charge towards Shi Feng. Not only Chen Hui, but even the three old monsters following Chen Hui did the same. Moreover, these three old monsters were acquaintances of Shi Feng: the Sword Demon, Wind Demon, and Heart Demon from the Four Fiends of Ghost Shadow.

These three experts who mastered the Domain were simply incomparable to the Heavenly Demon Legion and the Horned Dragon Legion. Under the effects of the berserk potion and burst mode, their power all reached Tier 4. Each one could contend with a Tier 4 Legendary monster of the same level in a short time. The three of them joining forces was a god-slaying, demon-exterminating force.

Faced with the four's combined offensive, even Shi Feng, who had activated the Power of the Heavenly Dragon, was at a disadvantage, his health constantly decreasing.

Of course, Shi Feng's activated Power of the Heavenly Dragon was ultimately incomparably overbearing. The increase in attribute strength was simply unmatched by ordinary burst skills. In addition, Shi Feng's every move was a hard-hitting blow, causing the health of Chen Hui and the other three to drop rapidly. And Shi Feng, relying on the super-strong defense of the Power of the Heavenly Dragon, did not lose much health.

As time passed on the battlefield, the battle became more and more intense. Individual skills and magic were not enough, and everyone used magic scrolls and various auxiliary items.

The Heart Demon was insanely focused on Shi Feng. Seeing Shi Feng's health drop to half, he unhesitatingly took out a crystal stone and directly poured it into the magic he used. Instantly, the Tier 2 magic was promoted to Tier 3 magic. With the boost of the burst, even Tier 4 Legendary monsters couldn't stop it.

In an instant, more than thirty magic spears stabbed towards Shi Feng from all directions. Each magic spear had Tier 4 power, and under the control of the Heart Demon, the thirty magic spears seemed to have their own will, darting towards Shi Feng like nimble fish.

The Sword Demon on the side was not to be outdone. The greatsword in his hand suddenly shone brightly, slashing towards Shi Feng, completely sealing off Shi Feng's retreat.

"Well done!"

At this moment, Shi Feng also felt the threat of death, and all his life-saving skills had been used up. He couldn't help but activate Blade Liberation. Instantly, his aura soared, and he swung his sword towards the magic spears and light slashes from all directions.

Thunder Light Slash!

A cyan sword light bloomed, and everything it passed turned into a black line, as if splitting the entire world in two. More than thirty magic spears and light slashes were shattered, and the powerful sword light then swept past the Sword Demon and Heart Demon who had no time to dodge. The health of both instantly dropped to zero.

At this moment, everyone present was stunned.

One person fought against the four great experts of the Star Ring Guild. Three of them were monster-level experts, each of whom was a headache for super forces. But the final result was that Shi Feng instantly killed two of them with one sword, overwhelming the four great experts!
