Chapter 0 Sword Light Reincarnation

The clash of blades sent sparks flying.

Boom!

The terrifying impact spread directly to a radius of several hundred yards, forcing even the Tier 3 experts in the vicinity to retreat several steps, while Tier 2 players were blown back dozens of yards.

"He blocked it?"

"Just who is he?!"

The onlookers in the distance stared, dumbfounded, at Shi Feng, who stood motionless on the ground.

To face a Tier 4 skill attack from a Level 160 NPC without taking any damage, and to clearly hold his own in the exchange, was utterly unbelievable.

The players present weren't the only ones stunned; even the black-robed knight, Subraid, who had unleashed the attack, looked surprised.

"Surprised?" Shi Feng asked, smiling faintly at the black-robed knight Subraid's strange expression. "It seems the Vice Commander of Dragonheart City's City Defense Knights isn't all that impressive."

Despite his words, Shi Feng remained extremely cautious.

The Light of Two Worlds had greatly increased his base attributes and the power of his sword skills. Combined with several fragments of Legendary items, his base attributes were already astonishing, approaching the level of upper-rank Legendary monsters of the same level.

However, the black-robed knight Subraid was still a Level 160 Tier 4 NPC, twenty levels higher than him. His base attributes were undoubtedly far superior. Shi Feng could only rely on his powerful mana and superior combat skills.

"You're courting death!" The black-robed knight Subraid roared, his anger intensified.

He spun the warblade in his hand, and the mana within a thousand-yard radius began to surge toward him. Clearly, the previous attack hadn't been his full strength.

As the mana reached its peak concentration, the black-robed knight Subraid instantly transformed into dozens of afterimages, blanketing Shi Feng's surroundings. The speed was so great that it was impossible to keep up.

Tier 4 Skill: Shadow Break!

Even with his mastery of the Domain, Shi Feng couldn't distinguish between the true body and the illusions. It was as if dozens of black-robed knight Subraids were attacking simultaneously.

Before Shi Feng could react, searing runes appeared on the black-robed knight Subraid's snow-white warblade, and scorching flames rose from the blade, burning even the void itself.

Tier 4 Forbidden Skill: Starfire Blade!

Suddenly, dozens of blades were swung at once, turning the usually single, fatal Starfire Blade into dozens of attacks, covering every inch of Shi Feng's surroundings, leaving no room to evade.

"Impressive! Truly worthy of being a Vice Commander of the Knights; to fuse Tier 4 skills to this extent!" Shi Feng observed the dozens of black-robed knight Subraids around him, admiration filling his voice.

Fusing skills was even harder than fusing magic, but success doubled the skill's power.

Since NPCs typically possessed a vast array of magical skills of the same tier, Tier 4 players were no match for Tier 4 NPCs and could only run away.

"Vanish completely!"

The black-robed knight Subraid roared, further increasing the power of his blade. Clearly, he was holding nothing back, intending to kill Shi Feng.

As dozens of void-burning blades descended, Shi Feng held his sword horizontally.

Tier 4 Inheritance Skill: Blade Domain!

Instantly, seven Magic Blades appeared around Shi Feng. Due to the qualitative change in his mana, the Magic Blades solidified into reality, transforming into countless starlight particles that enveloped him.

Sword’s Orbit!

Boom boom boom…

A series of explosions and impacts echoed across Dragonheart City's gate. Each of the dozens of impacts shattered the earth and fractured space, causing Shi Feng's HP to plummet by 130,000 to 140,000 with each hit.

By the time the barrage ended, Shi Feng had lost over five million HP, reducing his health by a third.

"He's not dead?!"

Mo Xin Yu's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Shi Feng, whose HP hadn't decreased by much. She couldn't believe it.

A Level 160 Tier 4 NPC, and the Vice Commander of Dragonheart City at that, was a powerhouse among Tier 4 NPCs. After using a fused Tier 4 forbidden skill, he could repel even upper-rank Legendary monsters of the same level, leaving them heavily injured.

Yet, it had only reduced Shi Feng's HP by a third…

"Impressive! Truly worthy of being a Vice Commander of Dragonheart City!" Shi Feng glanced at his HP and admired the black-robed knight Subraid. "The power of a fused skill is comparable to a rudimentary Tier 5 skill!"

If he hadn't switched his weapon to the Light of Two Worlds, increasing the effect of his sword skills by one tier, the only way to block that attack would have been to activate Burst Mode. But activating Burst Mode would have meant reaching his limit, bringing him closer to death. After all, NPCs could also use burst skills, not just players.

"You're quite capable, kid!" The black-robed knight Subraid stared at the still-living Shi Feng, secretly shocked. He hadn't expected a Chosen One to be this strong. "But this ends here. Let's see how many more moves you can take!"

With that, the black-robed knight Subraid raised his warblade, and over a dozen identical warblades slowly formed a magic array in mid-air.

Tier 4 Skill: Blade Shadow!

Tier 4 Forbidden Skill: Realm Sealing Void Break!

The dozen or so warblades in mid-air seemed to form their own realm, transforming into black holes that crashed down upon Shi Feng.

Whether they were players or NPCs, everyone felt a sense of despair as they watched the dozen or so towering black holes descend. They could already foresee that when those black holes landed, the surrounding hundreds of yards would be reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

"A Level 160 Tier 4 NPC is indeed troublesome, but if you want to kill me, I'm afraid it will take a little more!" Shi Feng smiled as he watched the descending black holes. "I'll just use you to test out this move!"

He gripped the Light of Two Worlds tightly, channeling all his mana and mental strength into the damaged blade.

Instantly, the blood-red divine runes on the Light of Two Worlds lit up, covering the entire blade and emitting a dazzling, eerie glow. As this eerie glow bloomed, the entire world seemed to fall into a silent stillness, and even the flow of time seemed to slow.

Then, Shi Feng swung his sword at the black-robed knight Subraid in mid-air.

World Breaking Light!

Boom!

A streak of eerie light instantly pierced through space and the descending black holes, as if nothing in the world could stop its advance.

In the blink of an eye, it struck the black-robed knight Subraid and vanished into the horizon…

As the light dissipated, the flow of time returned to normal. The black holes in mid-air vanished completely, leaving only the black-robed knight Subraid, whose HP exceeded two hundred million, with over half his health instantly gone, his armor shattered, and blood covering his body, clearly heavily injured.

Before the black-robed knight Subraid could react, Shi Feng, looking somewhat pale, appeared before him, giving him no chance to breathe. He swung the Light of Two Worlds again.

Void Rend!

Sword Light Reincarnation!

The fusion of skills and combat techniques wasn't as powerful as the fusion of skills, but it still greatly increased the power.

Six streaks of sword light shattered the void. The black-robed knight Subraid reacted quickly, holding his warblade horizontally and using the Tier 4 defensive skill Steel Fortress, creating a defensive barrier in front of him while increasing his own defense by 500%.

First sword!

Second sword!

Third sword!

…

Each of Shi Feng's swords possessed the power to sever a celestial river. Although they shattered the black-robed knight Subraid's defensive barrier, they also gave him time to use his warblade to deflect the incoming sword light.

Boom boom boom…

Explosions echoed through the air, reverberating across the entire Dragonheart Island. The black-robed knight Subraid's HP plummeted until the final sword light struck his warblade, sending him crashing to the ground in a streak of light, creating a crater over ten meters deep.

His remaining HP rapidly drained until, a second later, it reached zero, and his eyes closed with unresigned defeat!

In mid-air, Shi Feng's experience bar surged, his level jumping from 140 to 141 as a golden light enveloped him.

However, none of the onlookers paid attention to Shi Feng in mid-air. They all lowered their heads, looking at the black-robed knight Subraid lying in the crater, now deceased.

At that moment, the entire gate of Dragonheart City fell silent, as if time had stopped…
