He was about to be stabbed.
Shi Feng abruptly activated the Imperial Sword Skyrend, blocking this sneak attack. If he had been hit by the assassin's ambush, he would have been stunned for 3 seconds. Those 3 seconds would have been enough for a skilled assassin to take down a half-health MT. Moreover, the assassin had more than one stun skill. Once stunned, it would be stun-locked to death.
"Get lost!"
Shi Feng shouted, drawing his sword and unleashing a Horizontal Sweep.
Abyssal Blade roared past with a sonic boom.
"Interesting."
The black shadow reacted quickly, performing a swallow flip, narrowly avoiding the Abyssal Blade. His arm moved like a whip, and the bright dagger stabbed into Shi Feng's back again from the side. The entire movement was fluid and effortless.
"You're courting death!"
However, Shi Feng completely ignored the approaching dagger. The Bloodthirst Blade had already been swung, turning into four sword shadows, slashing at the black shadow's vitals. He was very confident in his attack power.
The black shadow was immediately shocked. He didn't expect Shi Feng to be so decisive, abandoning defense and wanting to trade blows. He hurriedly waved another dagger to block.
Clang clang clang...
Several sparks flew in mid-air.
The black shadow was directly shaken back 2 yards by Shi Feng's powerful force, and he took three steps back to stabilize his body, looking at Shi Feng with a shocked expression.
"You really didn't disappoint me." The black shadow let out a muffled sneer.
Although he didn't understand how Shi Feng could have such great strength, and how Shi Feng could sense his sneak attack in advance and instantly take precautions, and even more decisively choose to attack him at the moment of being attacked, forcing him to defend, this was the first time he had failed a sneak attack in a virtual game.
At this time, Shi Feng was also very shocked. This black shadow was simply an assassin among assassins, silent and deadly, with extremely experienced assassination skills. His attack speed was also extremely fast, and he had even followed him all the way here without him noticing. If it weren't for the murderous aura that was momentarily exposed before the attack, he would have been caught.
The black shadow was wrapped in a black hooded cloak, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly, and this cloak was very special. Observation skills were ineffective, and even his name couldn't be seen.
Shi Feng glanced at the system notification.
System: Red-named player Juetian has launched an attack against you.
Although the cloak could fool observation skills and conceal the red name, it couldn't fool the system.
Shi Feng had never heard of the name Juetian, but judging from his skills, he was definitely not an unknown figure.
"This failure is due to my lack of preparation. When I come next time, I will definitely take your life." Juetian said, turning to flee.
"Where do you think you're going!" Shi Feng stabbed with a Chasing Wind Sword.
As long as an assassin reveals himself, his combat power will be reduced by half. Since this Juetian wanted to kill him, he would naturally not let him go. He would kill him first and then think about other things. He didn't want an enemy who wanted his life always following him.
Abyssal Blade arrived with the wind, stabbing towards him, instantly arriving at Juetian's back.
Juetian seemed to have been prepared. He turned around, and the silver-white dagger gently flicked, using only a small amount of force to block Shi Feng's sword. Another silver dagger stabbed towards Shi Feng's abdomen.
Kidney Shot!
The accumulated energy points from the previous series of attacks were enough to stun a player for more than 4 seconds.
Shi Feng didn't expect Juetian to launch a counterattack, so he quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the Kidney Shot, but Juetian's dagger also followed closely, stabbing towards Shi Feng's back.
Backstab!
Shi Feng jumped forcefully, flying into the air, dodging the Backstab. He suddenly swung the Abyssal Blade, descending from the sky. The surroundings of the Abyssal Blade became a scene of thunder and fire, like a roaring thunder dragon, crashing to the ground.
Yan Lei Burst (Flame Lightning Burst)!
Knowing how powerful it was, Juetian raised his two daggers to meet it, using Parry to block this fierce blow.
However, how could Shi Feng's super strength be so easy to block? At the moment of contact, Juetian knelt on one knee, almost falling down, and his feet were buried in the ground.
The Yan Lei Burst was blocked, which was beyond Shi Feng's expectations, but the Abyssal Blade turned, using the Abyssal Shackles. Nine chains instantly bound Juetian, making him unable to move. Then Shi Feng used all his strength and slashed with both swords.
Ten sword shadows stabbed towards Juetian, leaving Juetian nowhere to dodge or avoid.
"We'll meet again next time." Juetian discovered that Shi Feng had many moves, one after another. He smiled and said, then his figure began to dissipate, and the nine chains fell to the ground.
The ten sword shadows stabbed into the air.
The assassin's advanced skill, Vanish, not only forcibly enters a stealth state, but also grants brief invincibility for more than 1 second.
"Don't even think about running!" Shi Feng was unwilling to let Juetian go. Seeing the grass under his feet collapse, he unleashed a Wind Lightning Flash.
Three arcs of electricity shot out. Juetian activated Gale Stride again, becoming invincible again for 1 second, blocking the Wind Lightning Flash and rushing away.
Shi Feng also activated Windwalk to chase after him.
However, as soon as he chased after him, he found that Juetian took out a handful of white powder from his bag and hurriedly turned his head and closed his eyes.
The white powder was sprinkled, blooming with dazzling white light.
Flash Powder can temporarily blind monsters and players below level 20 for 4 seconds. It is a very rare special item. Only the magic shop in the slums of Red Leaf Town sells it, and only ten packs are sold per day.
After a brief dazzling light, Shi Feng opened his eyes and wanted to find Juetian, but found that Juetian had already left and disappeared.
After searching for a long time without finding any trace, Shi Feng had to give up.
"Where did this Juetian come from?" Shi Feng was full of questions. This assassin was not only highly skilled, but also had many skills. Looking at his equipment, it was a level 5 Bronze Set. Both weapons were Mithril-grade. His background was not simple.
Recently, he had been in Blackwing City. Even if he had offended Bloodthirsty War God, Bloodthirsty War God didn't know his true identity. If he had offended anyone else, it would be Yanhu of Youying and Ironsword Mad Lion of the Martial Arts Alliance.
Shi Feng was very familiar with Youying. Yanhu was not so powerful yet, able to find such an unknown expert. The only possibility was Ironsword Mad Lion of the Martial Arts Alliance. Last time, he killed him. With Ironsword Mad Lion's character, he would never let it go.
There was more than an 80% chance that it was an assistant hired by Ironsword Mad Lion.
It must be said that Shi Feng was very troubled by this. With his current strength, he was really not afraid of Ironsword Mad Lion coming out in the open, but an assassin waiting at any time, especially such a master assassin, was the most annoying. If he popped out at a critical moment when he was fighting monsters or in battle and gave him a blow, there was more than a 90% chance that he would die.
"It seems that I can only change my appearance in the future." Shi Feng's only way now was to change his appearance, so that even if the assassin named Juetian was more powerful, he would definitely not be able to find him. If he couldn't find him, he naturally couldn't harass him.
But he couldn't change his appearance now. He had to find a place where there was no one.
Shi Feng was worried that the assassin named Juetian hadn't left and was still squatting on him. He directly activated the Ring of Void, also disappearing into stealth, found a place where no one was, changed his appearance, and then came over to look for the Ice Blue Demon Flame.
Not long after Shi Feng disappeared, a figure appeared on the withered tree. It was Juetian himself.
"Damn, is he a swordsman or an assassin?" Juetian couldn't help but swear. He was originally a person who didn't give up easily. Before, he kept saying he was leaving, but it was actually misleading Shi Feng, so he could find a chance to sneak attack again. He didn't expect Shi Feng to come up with such a move and disappear directly. How could he find a chance now?
