Chapter 13 A Sneak Attack

Jue Tian’s Ambush took away a quarter of Shi Feng’s health in one hit.

Hei Zi, watching from a distance, was dumbstruck. He couldn’t understand how an assassin could suddenly appear and attack Shi Feng. Although he wanted to help, casting spells took time, and he had already used all his crowd control skills on the Steelhide Hippo. Now, all he could do was stare blankly.

The only thing he could do was chant an incantation and attack with Shadow Arrows.

"That’s a lot of damage." Shi Feng was surprised when he saw his health suddenly drop.

Previously, the level 9 expert Five Elements Rat, as a Berserker, had only dealt a little over 100 damage to him. Now, Jue Tian’s Ambush could deal more than 300 damage. His attack power was much stronger than Five Elements Rat’s.

Assassins had extremely fast attack speeds. Generally, each attack didn’t deal as much damage as a Berserker, but they could make up for it with the number of attacks. If an assassin’s damage was close to that of a Berserker, then their output would be at least two or three times that of a Berserker. What’s more, Jue Tian’s damage was much higher than the Berserker Five Elements Rat, so his output was at least three or four times stronger.

Although Shi Feng was surprised, Jue Tian was equally shocked.

His Ambush could usually take away two-thirds of the health of a MT (main tank) of the same level wearing a full set of bronze equipment, but now it only took away a quarter of Shi Feng's health.

Shi Feng’s defense and health were much higher than those of well-equipped MTs.

"Die!" Jue Tian flicked his wrist, and a silver light streaked towards Shi Feng's neck, while another dagger stabbed towards his back.

Throat Cut!

Backstab!

Although he was shocked, an assassin's burst damage wasn't just the first hit, but a set of burst combos.

From the moment Shi Feng appeared in the Gale Canyon and snatched the Shadow Panther King, he had been following Shi Feng, quietly waiting for the best opportunity. He knew that Shi Feng was very strong, and he had to wait for Shi Feng to be in the greatest danger, with no skills available, before he had a chance to kill Shi Feng. But he hadn’t been able to find the best opportunity.

However, all the waiting finally paid off. During the fight against the Steelhide Hippo, Shi Feng finally showed a flaw. To be on the safe side, he didn’t hesitate to use the Death Lock Scroll that he had bought at a high price, just to deal with this kind of situation.

Death Lock: locks all of the target’s skills, preventing them from being used temporarily, and immobilizes them for 6 seconds.

Although Shi Feng had high defense and health, 6 seconds of burst damage was enough for him to kill Shi Feng.

At such a close distance, Shi Feng could clearly feel the two daggers stabbing towards him. If Jue Tian unleashed a set of continuous burst skills, he would definitely die.

At the critical moment, Shi Feng used Phantom Kill, and then immediately swapped with his doppelganger.

Death Lock could only lock skills that the player had learned, but skills on equipment were not included.

As soon as the swap was complete, two daggers emitting silver light stabbed into the doppelganger's body, and a 212-point bleeding damage and a 257-point skill damage appeared above the doppelganger's head.

Immediately afterwards, Jue Tian suddenly erupted, and two daggers waved wildly, and ten silver lights pierced the doppelganger's vitals.

A series of normal attacks plus Assassinate and poison damage on the daggers instantly wiped out the doppelganger's thousand-plus health points and disappeared.

"A doppelganger?"

Jue Tian was originally overjoyed, thinking that he had killed Shi Feng, but he didn't expect that he had only killed a doppelganger after so much effort. His face suddenly darkened, his eyes narrowed, and he looked around. He found that Shi Feng was not far behind him, so he immediately turned around and rushed over.

Death Lock lasted for 6 seconds, and now there were only 4 seconds left. How could he let Shi Feng break the Death Lock that he had bought at a high price so easily?

But just as Jue Tian ran in front of Shi Feng, a Shadow Arrow shot over.

"Trash, I don't have time to deal with you right now." Jue Tian ignored Hei Zi’s Shadow Arrow, and his dagger directly stabbed towards Shi Feng.

He didn't care about Shi Feng's teammate, Hei Zi, at all. As long as he killed Shi Feng, killing Hei Zi would be easy.

With a bang, the Shadow Arrow exploded on Jue Tian’s body.

-221 damage appeared above Jue Tian's head, taking away a quarter of Jue Tian's health.

"How can this trash have such high magic damage?" Jue Tian frowned slightly, secretly shocked.

Jue Tian didn't know that Hei Zi was holding an level 8 Mithril Staff, and had a lot of level 7 and 8 Mysterious-Iron equipment, as well as the Mysterious-Iron grade Interpreter Pendant that Shi Feng had given him. His magic damage was already at the top level. If Jue Tian's equipment wasn't so good, I'm afraid a Shadow Arrow would have taken away most of his health.

However, Hei Zi's high magic damage didn't stop Jue Tian from attacking. He still accurately stabbed towards Shi Feng's vitals.

Just as the dagger was about to stab Shi Feng, Shi Feng used Silent Steps and instantly appeared behind Hei Zi.

"Damn it!" Jue Tian was extremely depressed and angry when he saw Shi Feng disappear.

He clearly couldn't use his own skills, but he still had so many skills to avoid his sneak attack.

He and Hei Zi were more than 25 yards apart. If he ran, it would take a lot of time. By then, Shi Feng’s lock would be lifted, and it would be very difficult to deal with Shi Feng.

"Brother Feng, you're awesome. You can even escape this." Hei Zi laughed.

The previous battle was thrilling, and it was so fast that if his reaction was a little slower, he would definitely lose his life. He was sweating for Shi Feng, but now that they were so far away, that assassin was definitely helpless.

"Don't joke around, be careful. That assassin is not simple." Shi Feng smiled wryly. Hei Zi was still in the mood to joke around.

"I know, leave it to me. My skill cooldown is over." Hei Zi said confidently.

But just as Hei Zi was about to turn his head to look at Jue Tian, he suddenly found that Jue Tian was gone. There was only an angry Steelhide Hippo roaring and looking for the enemy.

"Brother Feng, that person is gone. He probably gave up on the sneak attack and ran away." Hei Zi laughed.

Just as Hei Zi turned his head to look at Shi Feng, his face suddenly became heavy.

Because the assassin was behind Shi Feng.

"You should be proud that you made me go to so much trouble." Jue Tian sneered and took out Flash Powder and sprinkled it on Hei Zi.

Hei Zi screamed instantly, his eyes blinded and losing his ability to fight.

After restraining Hei Zi, Jue Tian's dagger also stabbed towards Shi Feng.

Shi Feng didn't expect that Jue Tian would even learn such an advanced skill as Shadow Steps.

An assassin's Shadow Steps could instantly appear behind the enemy and increase the damage of the next attack by 15%.

But Shi Feng couldn't move now, and he didn't have any skills to avoid Jue Tian's attack. He could only grit his teeth and activate the Silvermoon Set's Tier 2 Life Shield to withstand the attack. The Tier 2 Life Shield could absorb 60% of the damage, up to 500 points, which could definitely delay him for a while.

Jue Tian didn't know what to say when he saw the Life Shield appear on Shi Feng. He didn't understand how Shi Feng had so many life-saving skills, one after another.

But a Life Shield couldn't stop his determination to kill Shi Feng. He immediately waved his dagger and attacked fiercely like a storm, using all the damage skills he could use, such as normal attacks, Assassinate, and Backstab.

With a bang, the Life Shield shattered and disappeared, and Shi Feng's health was only less than 500 points.

"Die!"

Jue Tian shouted excitedly and poured all his strength and the 5 skill points he had accumulated into the Finishing Move, Eviscerate, preparing to use his strongest damage skill.

Then, the dagger rotated, aimed at Shi Feng's back, and stabbed fiercely.

Finishing Move, Eviscerate!

At this moment, a deep blue flame suddenly burned in Shi Feng's palm.
