Chapter 978 A Fatal Mistake

"You're Black Flame?" Blut looked at Shi Feng in disbelief, his mind reeling.

A Half-step Tier 5!

With most super forces still lacking Tier 4 professionals, a Half-step Tier 5 was unimaginable. Even players and NPCs from the Outerworld would find it difficult to deal with such an existence.

"That's right, it's me," Shi Feng confirmed.

"So, it's Guild Leader Black Flame. Everything before was a misunderstanding; we never intended to blockade Star-Moon Fortress," Blut said with a forced smile. "Since Guild Leader Black Flame isn't interested in cooperating, the Bloodhand Alliance won't force the issue. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."

With that, Blut intended to lead the Bloodhand Alliance away from Star-Moon Fortress, showing no intention of lingering.

"A misunderstanding?" Shi Feng chuckled. "Guild Leader Blut, you brought over a dozen Tier 4 NPCs specifically to Star-Moon Fortress to announce a blockade, and you're telling me it was a misunderstanding?"

"Since you're all here, then you'll all stay!"

With that, Shi Feng unleashed his Magic Domain, instantly spreading liquid-like mana to cover a radius of four thousand yards.

As Shi Feng's Magic Domain expanded, Blut and the others froze, as if trapped in quicksand. An indescribable weight pressed down on them, as if the world itself had been fixed in place. Even the Tier 4 NPCs present, all above Level 160, could only barely resist part of the Magic Domain's suppression, unable to mobilize the surrounding mana.

Fitte Hella and the others watched in astonishment as Shi Feng suddenly made his move.

They hadn't expected Shi Feng to act so decisively. The Bloodhand Alliance had over ten Tier 4 NPCs. While they might not stand a chance against Shi Feng one-on-one, they could put up a fight against even a Tier 5 professional if they worked together.

"Not good! It's One Thought, One World!" The leading Tier 4 NPC elder looked at Shi Feng, his expression grave.

A Half-step Tier 5 was already terrifying enough, but a Tier 4 professional who had mastered One Thought, One World could barely contend with a Tier 5 professional. Against such an expert, a group of Tier 4 professionals was just asking to be wiped out.

Tier 4 professionals were powerful because they could use their own mana to draw upon the surrounding mana, greatly increasing the power of their magic skills. But within the domain of One Thought, One World, rules were formed, creating a miniature world.

Without mastering One Thought, One World, it was impossible to mobilize the surrounding mana, leaving one to fight with only their own mana. This negated the advantages of Tier 4 professionals.

One Thought, One World was something Shi Feng had naturally gained when his spirit entered Tier 5 and his magic array level reached Grandmaster. Upon reaching Grandmaster, his Magic Domain naturally evolved into a small world, without him needing to learn it specifically.

"Run!" Blut shouted.

"Do you think you can escape?" Shi Feng drew Abyss Destroyer and used Dark Shackles.

The Tier 4 Dark Shackles were far more powerful than their Tier 3 counterparts. Within a radius of five hundred yards, pitch-black chains emerged from the void, instantly immobilizing everyone in the Bloodhand Alliance. Even if they used magic skills that could break the chains, their movements would be greatly reduced.

As the Bloodhand Alliance's movements slowed, Shi Feng stepped in front of them and unleashed the Light of Two Worlds once more.

Tier 4 Inheritance Skill – Phantom Sword!

Sword Light Reincarnation!

Thirteen sword lights flickered like stars, too fast to react to. One after another, the sword lights pierced through the chests of Blut and the others.

Among the Bloodhand Alliance players present, only Blut, whose Magic Body had broken through the 100% limit, reacted in time, using a Tier 4 defensive magic to block the sword light's attack. But the Tier 4 magic barrier shattered into countless pieces as a result.

The other Tier 4 players in the Bloodhand Alliance were not so lucky. They were all struck by the sword light, and even the heavily armored Tier 4 Shield Warriors were instantly killed, unable to withstand a single blow.

The situation was slightly better among the Tier 4 NPCs. Their levels and equipment were far superior to those of players of the same tier, and they used Tier 4 defensive magic skills to block all the sword lights, but it forced them to use their trump cards, leaving them unable to use these life-saving magic skills for a short time.

However, after the initial strike, Shi Feng clearly had no intention of giving the Bloodhand Alliance any room to breathe, and he once again used Blade Domain and Sword Light Reincarnation.

Under Shi Feng's control, the seven magic swords were as powerful as a Tier 5 professional's strike. The dozen or so Tier 4 NPCs and Blut could only work together to deal with the onslaught, unable to retaliate in the slightest. One after another, they were forced to use their life-saving trump cards...

Explosions and spatial rifts echoed throughout Star-Moon Fortress.

Before these terrifying sounds had lasted for thirty seconds, the dozen or so Tier 4 NPCs and Blut in the Bloodhand Alliance had all turned to dust in midair, their deaths absolute...

"They're dead?"

"Is this the strength of Sword Emperor Black Flame?"

"This is too strong. Even a Tier 5 professional might not be this powerful!"

...

The people of Star-Moon Fortress stared at the annihilated Bloodhand Alliance, mouths agape, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

A dozen Tier 4 NPCs and Blut, who had mastered Domain, could have conquered even Tier 5 Mythic monsters, but in front of Shi Feng, these powerful Tier 4 NPCs were like children, only able to defend, unable to attack Shi Feng, or even heal. Anyone who broke through their defenses was instantly killed...

Not only were the people present shocked, but Fitte Hella, who had been watching from the sidelines, was also dumbfounded.

She hadn't expected that after becoming a Half-step Tier 5 and mastering One Thought, One World, his combat power would reach such terrifying heights. Even against a true Tier 5 professional, he could probably fight.

After killing everyone in the Bloodhand Alliance, Shi Feng unceremoniously put their dropped items into his bag.

He had to admit that killing NPCs and players yielded just as much loot as killing monsters of the same level. He had obtained over ten Epic weapons and equipment, all of which could be used up to Level 150.

After collecting the loot, Shi Feng approached Fitte Hella and the others and sincerely thanked them, "Thank you for your efforts with Star-Moon Fortress during this time. If you hadn't maintained Star-Moon Fortress, it would probably be in chaos by now."

The Bloodhand Alliance's actions showed that many forces on the Western Continent were eyeing Star-Moon Fortress. Relying solely on the Holy Dragon wouldn't allow Star-Moon Fortress to develop, as those forces could easily suppress its growth by simply blockading the map.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, you're too kind. However, by killing Blut and losing over a dozen Tier 4 NPCs, the Bloodhand Alliance probably won't let this go easily," Fitte Hella warned. "We in the Divine Might Tribe have thoroughly investigated the Bloodhand Alliance. Not only does the alliance have over ten super forces affiliated with it, but it also has many powerful NPC forces, some of which have Tier 5 professionals in charge. That's why those from the Outerworld can only barely suppress the Bloodhand Alliance, but can't defeat it."

With the strength Shi Feng had shown, the super forces were one thing, but the NPC forces were another matter entirely. With no system restrictions, they could act against players as they pleased, as long as the benefits were sufficient.

If a Tier 5 NPC came, it would be a nightmare for Star-Moon Fortress, even if they couldn't capture it.

"Don't worry, even if a Tier 5 professional really comes, they will only leave empty-handed," Shi Feng said with a smile, completely unconcerned.

Before going to the trial, he wouldn't have dared to confront the Bloodhand Alliance.

But now, he had the means to fight a Tier 5 professional, not to mention the Silver Holy Dragon, which could suppress ordinary Tier 5 professionals of the same level.

"Leave empty-handed?" Fitte Hella's beautiful eyes widened, curious about Shi Feng's confidence.

In an era without gods, Tier 5 professionals were the pinnacle of God's Domain, and this was the case even in the Outerworld. Every Tier 5 professional could ensure the safety of one side, like a pillar holding up the sea.

It was hard to imagine that Shi Feng had already gained the ability to fight Tier 5 professionals in such a short time. And these were Tier 5 NPCs, not Tier 5 players, so their strength was much greater.

"I wonder if Chief Fitte can gather these materials?" Shi Feng didn't explain, but instead took out a list and handed it to Fitte Hella. "I'm willing to pay twice the price in Magic Crystals to buy them."

Fitte Hella glanced at the materials on the list. Although these materials were valuable and rare, with the Divine Might Tribe's resources, gathering them wouldn't be a problem.

"Gathering the materials on the list isn't difficult, but Guild Leader Black Flame, what are you buying these materials for at such a high price? With your guild's resources, you should be able to gather these materials. There's no need to spend twice the price and pay with Magic Crystals," Fitte Hella asked curiously.

Other than the Magic Guide Stone, which was relatively difficult to obtain, any super force could gather the materials on the list. Shi Feng only needed to return to Zero Wing's residence on the Eastern Continent, and he could probably gather them in minutes, so there was no need to waste money.

Shi Feng didn't hide anything and said calmly, "I need these materials to connect the two continents urgently. It's impossible with Star-Moon Fortress's current inventory of materials, so I can only buy them from your guild."

Now that the Holy Dragon had become his partner and could be sent to fight on all sides, with the Holy Dragon as a guarantee, he could now do what he didn't dare to do before.

"Connect the two continents?" Fitte Hella couldn't believe her ears. "How is that possible!"

The two continents were too far apart, which was why the super forces desperately fought for those cross-border teleportation magic arrays. Even so, there were still various restrictions. If the two continents could be connected artificially, that would be too amazing!

Shi Feng just smiled and didn't explain further.

He definitely couldn't have done it before, but with Star-Moon Fortress's Summoning Tower, and the fact that he was a Magic Array Grandmaster, this impossible task wasn't so difficult.
