Chapter 175 Slaughter

To avenge his hatred, Jue Tian had been diligently honing his skills and frantically upgrading his equipment. Now that he had the opportunity, even without Ye Feng, he would make the people of Zero Wing suffer.

But as soon as Jue Tian stepped out of the bar, he saw a magic array appear in the dark gray sky, enveloping the entire Stream Town.

This magic array was the embodiment of the crusade order, capable of altering the NPCs throughout Stream Town.

The original level 50 guards immediately dropped to level 30, and the level 70 first-tier guard captain became level 50, the same level as Shi Feng's ordinary guards.

Although their levels decreased, the guards' movements and actions didn't slow down. Warning whistles sounded, and groups of guards rushed out of the houses in the town. Before long, over two thousand NPCs had gathered on the outskirts of the town. These NPCs were all Bloodhand Society guards, now without their disguises. The ordinary guards had all transformed into Bloodhand Society members in red leather armor, and the guard captains had become Bloodhand Society elites.

Bloodhand Society Member, Elite, Level 30, 100,000 HP.

Bloodhand Society Elite, First-Tier Elite, Level 50, 300,000 HP.

"Why have the guards become weaker?"

"So what if they're weaker? Zero Wing can't possibly defeat so many NPCs, right? Besides, we're here too. If Zero Wing dares to attack, we'll definitely make them regret it."

The players in Stream Town, seeing the guards around them suddenly weaken, couldn't help but feel worried. But they quickly dismissed their fears. At its peak, Zero Wing's membership was only eight thousand people. After the previous waves of withdrawals, their total number had dropped to around five thousand.

Even if Zero Wing sent out five thousand people, they would be throwing their lives away against two thousand NPCs. After all, no player had yet reached level 30, let alone become a first-tier player. How could they face level 30 and 50 NPCs? Such a large level difference was fatal in God's Domain.

"Action!" Shi Feng commanded in the team chat.

Huo Wu and the others immediately took action, each commanding a first-tier level 50 guard to charge towards the Bloodhand Society army in Stream Town.

Huo Wu and the others controlled first-tier rangers and assassins. They were faster than the Bloodhand Society members and elites. Moreover, first-tier rangers had long-range attack capabilities, with a range of 100 yards, making them perfect for luring enemies.

Before long, the red-named players in Stream Town saw several figures rushing towards them at incredible speeds, far faster than any player could move.

These rangers took out their longbows and drew back their arrows.

With a whoosh, they hit several level 30 Bloodhand Society members from over 90 yards away. Each arrow dealt over five thousand damage. An ordinary player would have been killed with a single shot.

The rangers' attacks immediately caught the attention of the Bloodhand Society NPCs. Over a thousand Bloodhand Society NPCs drew their weapons and charged forward without a word.

The guard rangers immediately turned and fled, quickly leading the Bloodhand Society NPCs away.

"Aren't Zero Wing's players supposed to be attacking? Why are level 50 first-tier NPCs charging over here?"

This scene surprised the red-named players in Stream Town. They stood still, not following the Bloodhand Society NPCs to attack.

A level 50 first-tier NPC could almost instantly kill a player at their current level. If a player didn't have any life-saving skills, charging forward would be suicide. They were red-named, and dying once would be a disaster, losing most of their equipment and dropping two or three levels. Naturally, they had to weigh the pros and cons.

Moreover, they had never intended to charge into battle. They were hoping that the Bloodhand Society NPCs and Zero Wing would both suffer heavy losses, allowing them to pick up the scraps. But now that the Bloodhand Society NPCs had been lured away by the NPC guards, they hesitated, unsure whether to charge forward or not.

While these red-named players were pondering, the Bloodhand Society NPCs guarding the town had moved several hundred yards away from the town.

"Not good, the Bloodhand Society NPCs have all been lured away," a red-named player who had realized what was happening exclaimed anxiously. "We have to help, or Zero Wing will kite us to death."

This sentence immediately reminded everyone. But they weren't a unified group, and they weren't coordinated. Everyone knew that whoever charged first would die first. Even though they knew the situation was bad, no one was willing to charge forward. They all remained in place.

Unbeknownst to them, Shi Feng had already directed 40 level 50 first-tier NPCs to charge towards the players from the other side.

When attacking a town, the most troublesome thing was never the NPCs, but the players within the town. If the players cooperated with the NPCs in the town, it would be impossible to conquer it without absolute strength.

So the most important thing to do was to kill all the players first, then deal with the NPCs.

After a player died, they couldn't resurrect at the graveyard for half an hour. Moreover, these red-named players would lose most of their equipment and drop two or three levels if they died. They wouldn't have the strength to fight anymore. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they wouldn't have the ability to do so.

Forty level 50 first-tier guards, although not as durable as the level 50 first-tier Bloodhand Society NPCs, each had over 100,000 HP. They could easily kill level 20 players. Forty NPCs charging together was like a pack of ferocious beasts, slaying everything in their path.

There were many red-named players in the town, but they couldn't stop them at all. These guards could kill one with a casual blow. Even shield warriors and guardian knights couldn't withstand two hits. Beams of white light flashed as one red-named player after another was killed, and equipment dropped all over the ground.

In contrast, although the red-named players were attacking the level 50 first-tier guards, the level 30 suppression meant that the damage they dealt to these guards was negligible. It would take a thousand level 20 players a long time to deal with a single first-tier guard, let alone forty of them.

The damage was divided among the 40 guards, and their combat recovery was enough to compensate. Moreover, there were priests and other healing classes among these guards. A single heal could restore nearly ten thousand HP, which made the red-named players almost vomit blood.

In just a few dozen seconds of battle, over two hundred red-named players in the town had died, and the 40 guards were still at full health.

The difference in strength was too great, which made the red-named players in Stream Town despair.

"These guard NPCs are too strong. Let's retreat to the Bloodhand Society NPCs."

"Zero Wing is too shameless, using level 50 first-tier NPCs to massacre the town. I despise you! If you have the guts, don't use NPC guards. Let's have a fair fight between players!"

…

The red-named players in Stream Town fought and cursed at Shi Feng and the others watching the show in the distance.

Shi Feng smiled when he heard this and immediately ordered the magic-type NPCs to use AoE skills.

Suddenly, fire rain fell from the sky, followed by lightning and thunder. First-tier AoE magic spells unleashed by first-tier magic classes showed their true power.

Entire swathes of red-named players died. After a few AoE spells, everything was silent. Only four hundred or so red-named players in Stream Town were still alive. The rest were all dead, making Stream Town much emptier.

Shui Se Rose and the others behind Shi Feng were shocked by this scene, let alone the players in Stream Town.

This wave of AoE magic had become a nightmare for the red-named players in Stream Town.

"Run!"

No one knew who shouted it, but the red-named players in Stream Town all agreed and immediately fled in all directions.

"Let's start hunting them down. Most of the equipment on these people is Mysterious-Iron rank. Killing one of them is more profitable than killing a small Boss. If we let them escape now, it will be difficult to find them again in the future," Shi Feng said with a smile.

Then Shui Se Rose led everyone to charge up and cooperate with the NPC guards to kill these players.

When Shi Feng was the only one left on the high slope, he suddenly said, "Now that there's no one around me, you can come out now, right?"

Not long after the battle started, Shi Feng faintly sensed someone watching him from the shadows, and they were emanating a chilling killing intent. But it was just a feeling, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.

But when everyone left, Shi Feng's feeling became more obvious. He immediately used the Saint Devourer's skill, Eye of Omniscience, which could sense anything within 100 yards, and no stealth or invisibility could escape it. As expected, he found an assassin slowly approaching him.

But after Shi Feng said those words, the assassin didn't seem to take it seriously and remained standing still.

"Do you think I'm bluffing?" Shi Feng drew the Abyssal Blade and unleashed a Wind Lightning Flash behind him.

Three blue arcs of lightning swept out, and a black shadow appeared, barely dodging the three arcs of lightning. This person was the assassin Jue Tian, who had been killed by Shi Feng once before.

At this time, Jue Tian stared at Shi Feng, his heart filled with shock. It was the first time he had encountered someone who could detect his presence from so far away.
