Chapter 169 Talent Skill

The sudden change in the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf was immediately noticed by Aqua Rose and the others.

However, compared to the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's look of facing a formidable enemy, Aqua Rose and the others were more concerned about Shi Feng's situation.

He had clearly been hit by the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's flying knee kick, yet not only did his body not fly up, but he had even blocked that Soul Slayer stab that was nearing its peak.

"How did Guild Leader do that?"

Flying Shadow watched the serrated dagger stab into the silver-gray sword of the Abyssal者 (Abyssal One), unable to penetrate even an inch. He really couldn't understand how anyone could block such speed.

The others were also dumbfounded.

"He must have used some special skill," Fire Dance said uncertainly.

The attack speed was so fast that even Fire Dance couldn't see it clearly, let alone block it. Although Fire Dance knew that Shi Feng's speed was also very fast, it was still far inferior to that of the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf.

The Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's attack was exactly like the Phantom Steps that Shi Feng used, unpredictable and elusive. However, the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf didn't use any techniques at all, it was just pure speed.

Compared to the disappearance and appearance of Phantom Steps, which were separated by a period of time, the appearance and disappearance of the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf were completed in an instant, just like the instantaneous movement skills of the magic system. However, magic professions simply couldn't use it so frequently, and the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's attack speed was even faster than its movement speed.

In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that matters!

There was a reason for this saying. When it was so fast that players couldn't even capture it with their eyes and senses, how could they resist?

But Shi Feng was able to capture such speed and block it...

Fire Dance considered herself to be a master among assassins, with sharper insight than others, but she couldn't see at all how Shi Feng blocked the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's attack.

However, before everyone could figure out the answer, the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf acted again.

Shadow Strike!

Suddenly, the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf turned into a black stream of light and passed through Shi Feng's body.

"Not good!" Fire Dance shouted a warning, but it was too late.

Shadow Strike was the most lethal move of the assassin class, almost able to kill half of a same-level MT's (Main Tank) HP with one strike, and could even leave a Berserker with only a sliver of health. At the same time, it was also the fastest move, and the only way to face this move was to use skills to defend against it. She didn't expect the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf to know it as well.

However, after the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf hit Shi Feng, the expression on its face didn't relax, but became even more gloomy. It looked at Shi Feng, who didn't know when he had landed from mid-air, and let out a low roar.

Because what was hit by the Shadow Strike before was not Shi Feng himself, but just an afterimage.

"Aooo!" The Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf was furious and launched a series of猛攻 (meng gong – fierce attacks).

It would disappear for a while and then reappear.

The pitch-black dagger turned into countless streams of light, sweeping towards Shi Feng.

However, Shi Feng also disappeared and reappeared for a while, and the Abyssal者 (Abyssal One) and Hell Shadow in his hands also turned into two streams of light, blocking all attacks.

The previously one-sided situation instantly became a stalemate.

The sparks from the confrontation flickered everywhere, and the storm stirred up by each collision made Aqua Rose and the others who were watching from the side tremble with fear.

"What exactly..." Fire Dance's eyes widened, completely unable to understand what was going on.

When did Shi Feng's speed become so fast?

"Blackie, you are the most familiar with Guild Leader, honestly, how much strength has he been hiding?" Aqua Rose looked at Blackie with dissatisfaction and questioned.

Originally, Shi Feng said that he could kill a High Lord alone by relying on some special methods, which she could understand, and she felt that Shi Feng was no longer human. But now that he could confront such a fast Lord head-on, she suspected that Shi Feng was not a player at all, but the main god system itself, or the main god system's own son. Otherwise, how could she explain such speed?

The speed of the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf was probably far beyond that of even a Great Lord, but Shi Feng kept up, and his strength was comparable to that of a Lord monster. After fighting for so long, his HP hadn't been consumed much.

How could a player be so strong? Even if he could be so strong, it couldn't be now.

"Me?" Blackie said innocently, "I really don't know."

If he hadn't seen Shi Feng with his own eyes and was a brother to Shi Feng, he would have thought that the Shi Feng in front of him was not the real person at all, but a monster wearing Shi Feng's skin.

As the two sides continued to fight, Shi Feng's HP continued to decrease. Even though Shi Feng's current HP had reached 8460 points, far exceeding Zero Wing's first MT (Main Tank), Cola, fighting against the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf with 1 million HP was like hitting a stone with an egg, overestimating his own strength.

In just over twenty seconds, Shi Feng's HP dropped to more than 3,000 points.

"Violet Cloud, why haven't you healed yet?" Shi Feng couldn't help but shout in the team chat.

"Ah..."

Purple Smoke Flowing Cloud was completely fascinated by the battle between Shi Feng and the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf, and completely forgot her duties. She quickly waved her staff, and one healing skill after another was added to Shi Feng's body. In addition, she gave him a Holy Word Shield, which could last for five or six seconds at Shi Feng's rate of HP loss.

Purple Smoke Flowing Cloud's healing was very powerful. With a casual recovery, she could restore nearly 600 HP every 2 seconds. With the addition of Fast Healing, she could restore more than 1,600 HP per second. If she used Greater Heal, she could restore nearly 3,000 HP at once. Shi Feng's 8460 HP was full in a short time.

However, compared to the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf, it was far worse. With 1 million HP, it could restore 10,000 HP every 5 seconds with combat recovery, but Shi Feng couldn't consume 10,000 HP from the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf even after spending five seconds.

"Aqua Rose, attack, try to use ice-based moves as much as possible. Blackie, give it a cursed state to restrict the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf. Fire Dance and Flying Shadow, don't get close, use throwing knives to attack from a distance." Shi Feng commanded while fighting.

Purple Smoke Flowing Cloud's magic power was limited. If they continued to fight like this, the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf would eventually win, so they had to increase their output. However, the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's speed was too fast. If Fire Dance and Flying Shadow approached to attack, they would only become the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's target and be slaughtered at will.

After Shi Feng finished speaking, Aqua Rose and the others started to act, releasing one skill after another, constantly consuming the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's HP. Although most of the attacks were easily blocked or dodged, the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's defense was much lower than that of Lord monsters like the Flame Guardian, so the damage caused by everyone was not low.

Aqua Rose's Ice Arrow could cause more than a thousand points of damage, Fireball Barrage caused two or three thousand points of damage, Blackie's Shadow Arrow could also cause more than 1,300 points of damage, a critical hit caused more than 2,000 points, and one Pain and Suffering caused nearly a thousand points of damage every 2 seconds. In addition, there were various consumption skills, plus Fire Dance and Flying Shadow's throwing attacks, which could also cause more than 300 points of damage.

With the addition of Shi Feng, who could occasionally deal more than 2,000 points of damage, it was easy for everyone to deal more than 10,000 points of damage to the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf in 5 seconds.

More than an hour later, the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's HP also dropped to 43%. As long as they spent a few more hours, they would definitely be able to kill the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf.

With the hope of killing the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's previous performance was too terrifying, making everyone's hearts rise to their throats, and they thought they were dead.

"Guild Leader, how can you hide so well? You were lying when you said that you killed the level 25 High Lord by relying on special methods. Actually, you killed it with your own strength, right?" Aqua Rose complained.

"You misunderstood." Shi Feng, who was fighting, suddenly said.

"Misunderstood?" Everyone was puzzled.

"I don't have the ability to block such speed," Shi Feng explained. "I was also frightened by the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's speed before. Even if I used all my strength, I wouldn't be able to block it. However, during the time when the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf attacked, I looked at the system time."

"Then I realized why the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf was so fast."

"It's not that the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's speed is fast, but that the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's talent skill slows down our reaction, so it seems that the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf is extremely fast and unstoppable."

Everyone heard this and tried it out. It was indeed the case, and they suddenly understood.

Shi Feng was also taken aback at the time, but he glanced at the time displayed by the system and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Originally, Shi Feng thought that the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's attack was instantaneous, but the time displayed by the system showed that a little while had passed. Especially when the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf quickly came to him, a full 20 yards away, it arrived in front of him in an instant, but the actual time spent was nearly 2 seconds.

However, when the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf was about to give him the final blow, he had already activated the Ring of Emptiness, immune to any control and restriction effects. Naturally, he was no longer affected by the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's talent skill effect. It was naturally no problem to block the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's normal attack speed. After all, he also had Tier 2 combat power.

If it were someone else, they would have been killed by the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's talent skill long ago.

However, after a long battle, Purple Smoke Flowing Cloud didn't have much magic power left. Although she had been using magic recovery potions, she could only last for ten more minutes at most, but the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf still had 43% of its HP...

"I can only take a gamble!" Shi Feng looked at the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's HP and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Hellfire Power activated!

Dragon Strength activated!

Suddenly, golden light bloomed from Shi Feng's whole body. Compared to the time when he used it in the Demon Castle, this time it was even more gorgeous, and the aura it emitted was even more amazing, faintly forming a giant dragon's figure, making a deafening roar.

At this time, Shi Feng's attributes had also undergone tremendous changes.

His HP directly increased to 25380 points, his Strength attribute directly broke through 800 points, and his defense had also undergone a qualitative change. Before, the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf could still cause about 100 points of damage due to the confrontation, but now it was directly gone. Even if he took a blow head-on, it would only cause about 1,200 points of damage...

Shi Feng just swung his sword, and the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf, which had previously had an advantage in strength, was knocked back, and a damage of nearly 400 points appeared on its head. Immediately following Shi Feng's step, he used a Tier 1 Chop. Because of the attack speed increase and power increase of Hellfire Power, it hit the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf, which didn't have time to resist, and three double damages of -4920, -7312, and -7324 exploded.

The Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf also crashed into the stone pillars on both sides of the path.

The strength of the two was completely different.

Shi Feng then let out an angry roar.

Dragon Might!

With the might of the Heavenly Dragon, suppress all enemies. Enemies within a 30-yard radius are in a state of fear, causing a 20% reduction in attack, a 20% decrease in attack speed, and a 20% decrease in movement speed, lasting for one minute.

The Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf was also affected by Dragon Might.

The Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf, whose speed had decreased, was even less of a match for Shi Feng.

In less than a while, the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's HP dropped to 30%.

At this time, the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf also changed. Its size suddenly began to grow, and it directly threw away the two daggers. Compared to before, its size was four times larger, like a small two-story building. Just taking one step would shatter the ground.

Just looking at it, one could tell that the Scarlet Shadow Dire Wolf's strength had increased terribly.

Shi Feng didn't care and gritted his teeth again to activate Sword Liberation.

Suddenly, the Abyssal者 (Abyssal One) bloomed with a dazzling silver light, and then the power of the Abyssal者 (Abyssal One) flowed into Shi Feng's body.
