Chapter 1 The Fifth and Sixth Ghosts

Wu Gui was a first-tier swordsman, and compared to Liu Gui, the berserker, he didn't possess terrifying strength, but his speed far surpassed Liu Gui’s.

Especially since Wu Gui used the advanced attack technique Triple Slash, the shifting of his center of gravity was even better than Liu Gui’s. In addition, Wu Gui also used Chasing Wind Sword, further increasing his speed, vaguely showing a fourth afterimage. His speed had increased more than a notch.

At this time, Shi Feng was fully resisting Liu Gui's attacks, and had no time to attend to the even more swift and fierce Wu Gui behind him.

Wu Gui’s sharp sword pierced Shi Feng's heart, a trace of smugness on his face as he coldly laughed, “Boy, although your strength is not bad, you are still ten years too early to fight our Seven Ghost Gods.”

"Fifth Brother, be careful!" Liu Gui suddenly shouted in alarm, looking at the triumphant Wu Gui.

"Hmm?" Wu Gui also immediately noticed something was wrong, because his subconscious was telling him that his life was in mortal danger. He then realized that the feeling of his sword piercing Shi Feng’s body was like stabbing into air. Instantly, the hair on his body stood on end, and he immediately activated his life-saving skill, Imperial Sword Return to Heaven, leaning forward and jumping away.

However, he was still a step too late.

Swish, swish, swish...

As Wu Gui activated his life-saving skill and leaped forward, he felt bursts of cold sword energy coming from behind him.

This sharp sword energy was the attack that Shi Feng launched after suddenly appearing behind Wu Gui using Silent Steps. If Wu Gui hadn't activated Imperial Sword Return to Heaven at the first moment, which could negate several instances of damage, Wu Gui would already be dead.

"Who exactly are these people?" Shi Feng frowned slightly.

It was hard to imagine that such experts would appear in the Underworld, and he had never heard of such experts before.

After using Silent Steps, he immediately swung Abyss Blade. At such a close distance, and with that momentary surprise, even experts of the same level would not have had time to react. Yet Wu Gui was still able to activate Imperial Sword Return to Heaven, and his sword only struck Wu Gui after Wu Gui had jumped forward.

Moreover, from Wu Gui's attacks, Shi Feng clearly felt Wu Gui's power. When Liu Gui used Triple Slash, he could only perform ordinary slashes and could not use skills at the same time. But Wu Gui could integrate the techniques of Triple Slash into his slashes. The difficulty of this was beyond what ordinary people could do, and even the current him could not do it.

And he had clearly attacked first, but he was still a step too slow.

This reminded Shi Feng of Teng Snake’s lightning speed reactions. In terms of nerve signal transmission, Wu Gui might be the same as Teng Snake, gifted with a nerve reaction speed of less than 0.1 seconds, about 0.07 seconds or so. But Wu Gui utilized it better than Teng Snake.

Originally, Shi Feng wanted to press the attack, but Liu Gui attacked again, and Shi Feng had no choice but to deal with him.

In this kind of rapid battle, apart from some special skills, such as Silent Steps and teleportation, it was very, very difficult to use attack skills. This was because the speed of these skills when used was too slow, requiring fixed movements, unable to keep up with the speed of ordinary attacks. Moreover, even if one was extremely proficient and could use them quickly, the excessively fast speed would easily cause the movements to become distorted, resulting in too low completion and almost no effect. It was better to just perform ordinary slashes. That’s why it was very difficult for Liu Gui to integrate attack techniques into combat skills.

"Your strength is really strong, kid. Your stats are ridiculously high, and you even have that kind of skill. I was almost caught by your trick. But you won't have that chance again." Wu Gui, who had recovered, turned to look at Shi Feng, a hint of greed in his eyes. He then took out a bottle of Evil Spirit Possession and drank it down, once again cooperating with Liu Gui to attack Shi Feng.

Their equipment was already top-tier, but Shi Feng was still able to overpower them in terms of stats, which meant Shi Feng’s equipment was even better. If they killed Shi Feng, they could loot that equipment and improve their strength to the next level.

Liu Gui constantly used Triple Slash, while Wu Gui launched sneak attacks from the side.

Two against one was too unfavorable. Shi Feng also didn't hold back and used Hellfire Power, increasing his attack speed by 100%. He then used Void Steps, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Disappeared?"

Liu Gui was stunned. He then realized that Shi Feng had appeared next to him, Abyss Blade only a few centimeters away from his neck. He immediately bent his body sharply.

However, a splash of blood still burst out, resulting in a critical hit dealing over three thousand damage.

Liu Gui’s HP immediately dropped by more than half.

Shi Feng followed up with another sword strike. One more strike and Liu Gui would definitely die.

But Wu Gui’s sword had already slashed over. Moreover, Liu Gui had reacted to Shi Feng’s sword strike, meeting it with a blade. Shi Feng had no choice but to give up and use Void Steps again, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

"So you're Hei Yan. But if you think you can defeat us with this footwork, that's impossible." Before coming, Wu Gui had borrowed Hei Yan's information from You Lan, and had also watched the battle between Hei Yan and Summer Sunshine. He still had a vivid memory of Void Steps. Now that he saw Shi Feng using it, he immediately recognized it.

Wu Gui abruptly changed the direction of his sword, immediately turning it towards an empty space beside him.

Wu Gui's actions surprised everyone. They didn't understand why Wu Gui was doing this.

But Wu Gui’s actions immediately provided the answer. In the path of Wu Gui's attack, Shi Feng suddenly appeared, blocking Wu Gui’s attack with Abyss Blade.

"He adapted really quickly." Shi Feng was slightly surprised.

Shi Feng was well aware that Void Steps was not invincible. Although Void Steps could make people visually ignore one's existence, as if disappearing, for people who had undergone special training, as long as they allowed their eyes to adapt a few times, they could still be captured. It was not strange for people like Wu Gui and Liu Gui to be able to do this, but this adaptation speed exceeded Shi Feng’s expectations.

Just as Shi Feng was surprised, Liu Gui also followed up with a slash at Shi Feng's back, putting Shi Feng in a pincer attack.

Shi Feng had no choice but to activate Windwalk, greatly increasing his speed, and still used Void Steps to retreat.

Although the two could adapt, their eyes could not completely capture him. In the process of capturing him, there would be a moment of hesitation, so Shi Feng still insisted on using Void Steps.

For a time, the two sides were in a stalemate, like a storm of blades and swords, sweeping the field, making people gasp in shock, even their eyes unable to keep up with the reactions of the three people.

The attack speed of the three was so fast that even breathing seemed superfluous. A slight carelessness and one would be killed.

Although Shi Feng’s greatly increased attack speed and Void Steps were of great help, the attacks of the two, especially Wu Gui’s attacks, were extremely tricky, always attacking from various blind spots, and never clashing head-on with Shi Feng, putting Shi Feng in a passive position everywhere. If he had not already entered the Realm of Micro, and his control over attacks and movement was extremely precise, he would have been killed by the two by now.

In this high-speed battle, although Shi Feng was in a passive position, Shi Feng was enjoying it very much. After the level of his brain activity increased, he had not fully mastered this suddenly improved control over his body and perception. Now was the best training ground. There were very few opportunities to fight against such experts, let alone put himself in a desperate situation where a slight mistake would lead to eternal doom.

However, the joint efforts of Wu Gui and Liu Gui were indeed very powerful. No matter how Shi Feng attacked and dodged, he could not completely resist the attacks of the two, so his HP had also dropped by nearly half. But in the constant attacks, Shi Feng's degree of precision and subtlety was also constantly improving, and the damage he received was also decreasing.

"The two's attacks are indeed sharp." Shi Feng also felt mentally tired at this time.

"Die!"

Wu Gui accurately grasped the moment when Shi Feng used Void Steps and was invisible, slashing at Shi Feng's back with a strike that was impossible to avoid or block.

In a moment of life and death, Shi Feng suddenly had a change, abruptly stopping his movement.

It was then seen that the sharp sword in Wu Gui's hand somehow brushed past Shi Feng's body.

However, Wu Gui’s attacks did not stop. His dual swords constantly waved, and Liu Gui was also constantly attacking, not giving Shi Feng any chance to dodge or block.

But the attacks of the two were like hitting water, feeling very weak, unable to hit Shi Feng no matter what. It was as if Shi Feng had already known the target of the two's attacks, always dodging in advance.

"So this is the second stage of the Realm of Micro, the Flowing Water Realm. No wonder I was never a match for those people in my previous life." After dodging the attacks of the two, Shi Feng couldn't help but smile faintly.
