Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 142 A Twist in the Road
Shi Feng's Silent Steps could easily move him behind targets within a 40-yard range. Although not as convenient as a mage's Blink, its cooldown was shorter, and the distance it covered was much farther. Moreover, it required no casting action, was silent, and was extremely difficult to detect.
"No!"
"Run!"
Fengyun Wuhui surveyed his surroundings and immediately spotted Shi Feng behind the healers. He roared suddenly.
Although the healers heard him, they still turned to look at Fengyun Wuhui, because they had no idea what Fengyun Wuhui meant. Why should they run?
"Too late."
Naturally, Shi Feng would not give them any chance. To save time, he didn't even use skills. He instantly unleashed twelve sword shadows, instantly killing the four healers who had no defense prepared.
"Ye Feng!" Fengyun Wuhui glared at Shi Feng, his eyes blazing with endless anger, and roared, "You're courting death!"
Fengyun Wuhui was truly enraged. With all the healers dead, dealing with the Shadow Leopard King would definitely come at a very high price, and might even lead to a total wipe. And the culprit was none other than Ye Feng.
In the blink of an eye, Fengyun Wuhui took out five jet-black arrows from his backpack and fired a barrage at Shi Feng.
Fatal Shot!
The five arrows shot out almost instantly, piercing toward Shi Feng's vitals, even blocking his path of retreat.
"You guys have fun. I'm leaving." After killing the healers, Shi Feng merely smiled at the incoming arrows. He didn't dare linger any longer. If he got hit by a crowd control skill, he would be in big trouble. It was better to leave and watch the fight from the sidelines. So Shi Feng activated Windwalk, and with a whoosh, left behind an afterimage, and disappeared into the forest without a trace.
The five arrows only pierced the afterimage left by Shi Feng.
Although the Martial Union members also chased after him in time, Shi Feng's speed was too fast. Once he entered the forest, they couldn't find any trace of him.
"Damn it." Seeing Shi Feng run away, Fengyun Wuhui clenched his fist, his expression furious.
"Guild Leader Fengyun, should we still chase?" an assassin asked cautiously.
Fengyun Wuhui shook his head and said in a low voice, "Don't chase."
Now that the healers were dead, trying to fight the Shadow Leopard King while searching for Shi Feng would only lead to one result: a total wipe, which would benefit Shi Feng instead.
Just the combat power Shi Feng had displayed was already giving him a headache. A small team would be simply sending themselves to their deaths. Without a full raid team, they couldn't take down Shi Feng. And if that strange speed was used in a chase, even a full team wouldn't be enough. If they charged in to chase Shi Feng now, they would definitely be easily worn down by Shi Feng, killed one by one, and there would be nothing they could do about it.
"Everyone retreat. Forget about the Shadow Leopard King. Be careful of Ye Feng's sneak attacks. Notify the other teams to gather here immediately. If he wants to take advantage of me, he'll have to wait another hundred years." Fengyun Wuhui suppressed his anger, calmed his agitated mood, and said very calmly.
Although it was a pity to give up on the Shadow Leopard King now, considering it only had a little more than 20% of its health left, they could pile on the bodies to kill it. But after they and the Shadow Leopard King were both badly injured, he didn't believe Shi Feng wouldn't try to pick up the scraps. Because he definitely would do that. This would not only kill them but also get the Shadow Leopard King's loot.
Killing two birds with one stone, why not?
Thinking of this, Fengyun Wuhui decided to give up on the Shadow Leopard King.
Rather than let Shi Feng profit, it was better to let it go so no one would get it.
Now that the Shadow Leopard King had a little more than 20% of its health left, even if Shi Feng wanted to kill it, it was impossible. Maybe they could even take advantage of him, not only killing Ye Feng but also consuming the Shadow Leopard King's health.
If Shi Feng didn't want to deal with the Shadow Leopard King, then so be it.
As long as the other main forces arrived, the Shadow Leopard King would still be theirs in the Martial Union. Shi Feng would just be watching from the sidelines.
With Fengyun Wuhui's order, the Martial Union members had no choice but to retreat, giving up the great opportunity to kill the Shadow Leopard King.
But the Martial Union members had not retreated a few steps when the Shadow Leopard King suddenly let out a roar and summoned two Elite Shadow Leopards to chase after them.
As they were chased, the Martial Union members discovered a strange thing. The Shadow Leopard King had not given up on chasing them at all, and even quickly reduced the shield warriors to low health, killing many people.
"Guild Leader Fengyun, the Shadow Leopard King is faster than us and keeps chasing us. If this continues, we'll all die sooner or later. What should we do?" an elementalist looked at Fengyun Wuhui beside him, worried.
"I can see that. I don't need you to remind me." Fengyun Wuhui said with great annoyance.
Fengyun Wuhui was also very troubled by the Shadow Leopard King's pursuit. If he had known this would happen, he really should have piled on the bodies to kill this damn Shadow Leopard King. Now he didn't expect this Shadow Leopard King to hold a grudge against them. It was a fight to the death. They couldn't escape even if they wanted to, and the losses were even greater than the losses from a direct battle, resulting in less than thirty people left.
"Notify the other teams to come over quickly. We'll stall the Shadow Leopard King while moving toward the gathering point. Be careful of sneak attacks." Fengyun Wuhui had no choice but to resort to this strategy.
And Shi Feng, hidden in the forest, was watching everything clearly.
Although Fengyun Wuhui's approach was very clever, it was no match for Shi Feng.
The fact that the Shadow Leopard King would keep chasing the Martial Union was something Shi Feng had expected long ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left so decisively, quietly waiting for the best opportunity to strike.
After the evolution of God's Domain, the activity areas of monsters have greatly increased. A leader monster like the Shadow Leopard King probably has half of the Gale Canyon as its activity range. Unless all the members of the Martial Union leave Gale Canyon or enter the core area of Gale Canyon, the Shadow Leopard King will not let them go.
As time passed, the Shadow Leopard King killed more and more Martial Union players, but its health was also reduced to less than 10%.
The large team of fifty people had now been reduced to only 16, a truly tragic loss.
"Are they here yet?"
Fengyun Wuhui paid attention to the movements around him while attacking the Shadow Leopard King. He was constantly guarding against Shi Feng's sneak attacks. Now that the Shadow Leopard King's health was less than 10%, it was definitely the best time to launch a sneak attack, so Fengyun Wuhui's expression was unusually serious.
"Guild Leader Fengyun, they said they'll be here in ten more minutes."
"Ten minutes? He can go die!"
Fengyun Wuhui cursed. Now was the crucial moment. Seeing that the Shadow Leopard King was about to die, Shi Feng could appear at any time. If he had to wait another ten minutes, the Shadow Leopard King would have died long ago.
He really regretted not bringing more people. Now he was letting Shi Feng, who was hiding in the dark, take advantage of the situation and take the initiative, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't help but feel depressed.
After a long while, the Shadow Leopard King's health had dropped to 2%, and there was still no sign of Shi Feng, which made Fengyun Wuhui extremely excited.
"Everyone surround the Shadow Leopard King. Focus your fire. It's about to die. Be careful of Ye Feng's sneak attacks." Fengyun Wuhui laughed loudly. If Shi Feng had appeared earlier, there was an 80% chance that the Martial Union would have been wiped out. Now that the Shadow Leopard King was almost dead, even if Shi Feng dared to appear, he could hold him back, enough to let his teammates kill the Shadow Leopard King.
Finally, the Shadow Leopard King's health dropped below 200 points. Just two rounds of bombing from the Martial Union would be enough to finish off the Shadow Leopard King.
"Hahaha, the Shadow Leopard King is mine."
Fengyun Wuhui used Powerful Shot, and the power had already been accumulated to the maximum. One arrow would be enough to deal more than a hundred damage to the Shadow Leopard King.
With a whoosh.
The arrow pierced through the air and flew toward the Shadow Leopard King's weak point.
At this moment, Shi Feng suddenly appeared silently behind the Shadow Leopard King and slashed down with a Chop, dealing 332 points of damage, killing the Shadow Leopard King. Fengyun Wuhui's arrow only hit the Shadow Leopard King's corpse.
In God's Domain, when a team or guild of players is dealing with the same monster, the player who deals the final blow will receive 60% of the experience points.
Because the Shadow Leopard King was an Level 8 Lord, it gave a very generous amount of experience points, which greatly increased Shi Feng's experience points, while the dozen or so members of the Martial Union split the remaining 40% of the experience points.
And as soon as the Shadow Leopard King died, it immediately dropped a large pile of items, more than a dozen in total, which could be said to be an extremely rare windfall.
"Kill him for me!" Fengyun Wuhui's eyes were about to burst, and he almost roared it out.
Immediately, more than a dozen people surrounded Shi Feng, not giving Shi Feng a chance to escape, and unleashed crowd control skills on Shi Feng.
Shi Feng didn't care at all and activated Sword Dance Protection, frantically picking up the drops.
The magical attacks hit Shi Feng, but were all blocked by Sword Dance Protection.
In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng had taken away nine drops, one of which was an item flashing with dazzling black light. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary item and was definitely priceless.
Seeing that Sword Dance Protection was about to run out, Shi Feng used Switch and switched with the clone deep in the forest, instantly escaping the Martial Union's encirclement. The clone then went on a killing spree, and before it died, it killed five Martial Union members, including a Level 9 Elementalist, a small town leader.
When Fengyun Wuhui realized that they had killed only one of Shi Feng's clones, he completely lost it.
"Ye Feng, just you wait."
Fengyun Wuhui's angry roar echoed in the forest for a long time, unable to dissipate.
After spending so much effort and losing so much, it all turned out to be for someone else, Fengyun Wuhui couldn't calm down even if he wanted to. He vowed that he would definitely kill Shi Feng back to Level 0.
Not far from the Martial Union, on a treetop, Fire Dance and Water Buffalo had been watching everything from beginning to end. After seeing the elite team of fifty people reduced to their current state, they were dumbfounded.
Only now did Fire Dance and Water Buffalo realize that battles in God's Domain could be fought like this!
