Chapter 1 Gathering

"Immediately have everyone gather here and surround this place completely. I don't believe they can sprout wings and fly away." Weiwo Dukuang immediately ordered.

The previous crushing defeat of Xiongba Tianxia greatly increased Zero Wing's prestige, becoming known to all.

If they could eliminate Zero Wing's main force and their Guild Leader, Black Flame, then Zero Wing's hard-earned reputation would be destroyed in an instant.

At that point, Dark Star would reap both fame and fortune.

Weiwo Dukuang would certainly not miss such a golden opportunity.

Immediately, the members of Dark Star began to move.

The previous search area was too large, but now, because of Shi Feng and the others exposing their location through battle, they rapidly narrowed the area.

As more and more Dark Star players gathered in the dense forest, Shi Feng, hidden in the treetops, showed no sign of panic. On the contrary, he waited for all the Dark Star members to gather.

"Come on, come on, the more the better." Shi Feng looked at the number of people gathered under the trees, already exceeding a thousand, and smiled inwardly.

Shi Feng had already considered the consequences before the battle.

If he didn't have sufficient preparations to deal with it, he wouldn't have allowed Huo Wu and the others to eliminate the hundred-man elite team.

"Guild Leader, our people have completely surrounded this dense forest. As soon as the people from Zero Wing appear, their death is assured." A ranger walked to Weiwo Dukuang's side and reported.

"Good, start tightening the encirclement." Weiwo Dukuang smiled with satisfaction and looked at Ming Sha, the squad leader of the Underworld Guard, beside him, and said respectfully, "A few of Zero Wing's experts will have to be handed over to Brother Ming Sha and your team later."

"Rest assured, Feng Shao (Young Master Feng) arranged for us to come here to deal with experts like Huo Wu and the others. Although there's now an additional Black Flame, our Underworld Guard can still handle it. We will never let them escape," Ming Sha nodded.

In order to ensure the complete annihilation of Zero Wing's main force, Feng Xuanyang had specially dispatched a squad of the Underworld Guard, showing his all-out effort.

Each member of the Underworld Guard was a master that the Underworld had searched for over many years and cultivated with a lot of funds. Their strength was only stronger, not weaker, than top assassins like Juetian. A squad of twenty people was an unimaginably terrifying force.

Even Dark Star's hundred-man elite team was no match for them at all, and Ming Sha within was an expert among experts, ranked among the top in the virtual gaming world. In terms of pure combat skill, he was on the same level as Bai Qingxue. However, Bai Qingxue had far more resources and better equipment, so she was slightly stronger.

Originally, Feng Xuanyang had arranged for Ming Sha to come to White River City to deal with Yefeng, but Yefeng had somehow disappeared without a trace, so Ming Sha was sent to deal with experts like Huo Wu and Heizi from Zero Wing.

Weiwo Dukuang had personally experienced Ming Sha's strength. Even though his level was higher and his equipment was slightly better, he couldn't last more than twenty rounds against Ming Sha and was killed, while he only managed to whittle down one-tenth of Ming Sha's health.

After a period of improvement, Ming Sha's equipment was now comparable to his, the Dark Star Guild Leader.

He wore a full set of Mithril equipment, with many pieces of Fine-Gold grade, and held a level 15 top-quality Fine-Gold greatsword, Shattered Bone. This equipment set was among the best in the entire White River City.

Weiwo Dukuang had estimated that if he fought Ming Sha now, he would be defeated in about ten rounds.

Now, with so many people surrounding them, such a team of experts, and a top-tier master like Ming Sha, even a top assassin like Huo Wu wouldn't be able to escape.

Just as Weiwo Dukuang was full of confidence and vowed to wipe out all of Zero Wing, a figure suddenly appeared on a large tree not far away.

"Someone's there!" Ming Sha, with his keen intuition, was the first to notice the figure on the tree and looked over.

Immediately, the others followed Ming Sha's gaze and looked over, discovering that there was indeed a person standing on the treetop, quietly watching them.

"Black Flame!" Nan Lang immediately recognized Shi Feng, his eyes filled with anger.

After Nan Lang's reminder, the others realized Shi Feng's identity. After all, Black Flame had always been a mystery, and many people had never seen Black Flame's face. Seeing him now, they found that Black Flame was just a middle-aged uncle, indescribably ordinary, without a trace of the aura that a guild leader should have. He looked like a completely ordinary and unremarkable uncle.

"So it's Guild Leader Black Flame. I didn't expect you to dare show up. Heaven has a road you don't take, and hell has no gate but you barge in. Today is your death date," Weiwo Dukuang sneered. "Everyone, attack! Kill him!"

Immediately, thousands of Dark Star members surrounded him, layer upon layer, so that not even a fly could escape.

Facing thousands of people, Shi Feng showed no sign of panic. His eyes were filled with coldness as he looked at Weiwo Dukuang and smiled slightly, as if he didn't take the thousands of people seriously at all. This made Weiwo Dukuang feel a chill in his heart, but this feeling quickly disappeared, because Weiwo Dukuang didn't believe that Shi Feng could kill him in front of so many people.

Then, the figure of Shi Feng on the treetop disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Not good, he's going to escape, use illumination flares!" Weiwo Dukuang shouted quickly.

Suddenly, the rangers released illumination flares, making the surroundings bright, and stealth skills would be completely ineffective within the range of the illumination flares. However, dozens of illumination flares flew over, but they still couldn't find Shi Feng's figure.

The members of Dark Star didn't know that after using the Ring of Void, Shi Feng immediately jumped down. He didn't escape, but instead rushed towards the nearest large tree to Weiwo Dukuang. The illumination flares that were intended to block his escape were naturally useless.

"Not good, he's going to kill his way over here, immediately use illumination flares around Guild Leader Weiwo!" Youlan thought of Black Flame's smile towards Weiwo Dukuang earlier. Her first feeling was that Shi Feng was going to seize the commander-in-chief from among the army.

Because only in this way could Zero Wing regain its reputation and prestige. Even if Dark Star annihilated all of Zero Wing's main force, Dark Star's Guild Leader would be dead.

At that time, others would definitely say, "Look how strong Zero Wing is, using only dozens of people to forcefully kill the Guild Leader of Dark Star among thousands of Dark Star members."

The ones who would be embarrassed then would definitely be Dark Star.

"What are you all staring at? Move now!" Youlan saw that the Dark Star rangers hadn't reacted and shouted angrily.

However, Youlan suddenly felt that something was wrong, because the place these people were staring at wasn't far away, but directly above them. She immediately looked up and saw a figure falling from the sky. It was Shi Feng.

Weiwo Dukuang was shocked at this moment. He didn't expect Shi Feng to be so reckless as to dare come and kill him.

"Since you want to die, Black Flame, I'll grant your wish!" The corner of Weiwo Dukuang's mouth curled up. He picked up his shield and one-handed sword, fully preparing for Shi Feng.

"What courage!" Ming Sha, who was beside Weiwo Dukuang, brightened his eyes, full of fighting spirit. Then, he drew the Shattered Bone greatsword from behind him and stood in front of Weiwo Dukuang, like a high wall, blocking anyone from passing.

Ming Sha secretly admired Shi Feng's performance and hoped to fight him one-on-one.

However, his duty was to kill Shi Feng first.

Youlan faintly felt that something was wrong. How could a resourceful person be so impulsive? For insurance, she quickly said, "Guardian Knights, use Blessing of Protection on Guild Leader Weiwo. All the other healers, heal Guild Leader Weiwo as well. We absolutely can't let him succeed!"
