Chapter 1 Died!

The players in the distance who witnessed this scene all wore expressions of shock, unable to believe what they had just seen.

Being attacked by so many black blades, even an agile Assassin would likely be unable to dodge them all, yet Shi Feng not only dodged them all unscathed but also appeared behind that Spellcaster without anyone noticing, killing him in a single blow.

It was simply unbelievable!

"No way, is he an NPC or something?" The burly man who had previously tried to dissuade Shi Feng gaped.

However, while everyone was still in shock, the members of Sea Burial Home also reacted, surrounding Shi Feng like a wall, making it impossible to escape unless he jumped over them. But players couldn't move in mid-air, making them easy targets.

"You're asking for death, daring to kill our people! Just wait to be killed back to level zero!" The leading level 43 Shield Warrior, though surprised by Shi Feng's performance, still believed Shi Feng had only used a skill to avoid the magic attacks. He immediately ordered the level 30 players beside him, "All of you attack together! I don't believe this kid can keep dodging with skills!"

The remaining four level 30 players also took out Tier 2 Magic Scrolls and began chanting.

This time, there were four Tier 2 spells in total, including single-target and AoE spells, all aimed at Shi Feng. The people surrounding Shi Feng also scattered at once, giving Shi Feng no chance to dodge.

"Let's see how you escape this time!" The level 43 Shield Warrior sneered at Shi Feng.

They were very familiar with the player combat rules within towns. As long as they didn't lock onto a target when casting a spell, the system wouldn't register it as an attack on a player. During this time, if the player actively attacked them, the system would consider it a counterattack. Therefore, the person being attacked by the Magic Scrolls could only retaliate after being locked on. This not only put them in a passive position but also made it difficult to dodge or defend against the magic attacks.

Generally, they could only use some life-saving skills to dodge or resist, but Shi Feng had already used one. Facing the attack of four Magic Scrolls, without a life-saving skill, he only had death to look forward to.

"Want to leave? Or should you stay?"

Shi Feng glanced at the scattering crowd, smiled slightly. If they wanted to play by the rules with him, they were still ten years too early. He then sheathed his longsword, turned his foot, and gently pulled everyone who had scattered back toward him.

The scattered crowd gathered around Shi Feng again, as if they had become a wall protecting him.

"Damn it! He actually wants to die with us!" The level 43 Shield Warrior didn't expect Shi Feng to be so strong, forcibly pulling them back to be human shields. At this point, it was too late to dodge. He could only activate a life-saving skill and choose to withstand the Tier 2 magic attacks.

Boom, boom, boom…

A series of explosions rang out. Except for the four people who reacted quickly enough to use their life-saving skills and barely survived, the other eleven were all killed by the Tier 2 magic attacks, and those who survived were left with only a sliver of health.

"What the hell is going on?" Everyone who saw this scene was completely dumbfounded. "Illusion? Friendly fire?"

Previously, the Sea Burial Home had used this tactic on other experts, directly killing them. But now, the members of the Sea Burial Home seemed to have dementia, not only failing to retreat in the face of the incoming magic but instead moving towards the center as if they were bewitched.

And somehow, Shi Feng, the person Sea Burial Home wanted to kill, was already standing more than ten yards away, watching everything that happened like an onlooker.

"The Dark Strider's Cape's effect is truly amazing, worthy of being a fragment of a Legendary item." Shi Feng glanced at the remaining members of Sea Burial Home, feeling very satisfied.

The improvements in his physical fitness, reaction speed, and starting speed made his movements smoother than ever before.

"Who exactly are you? How dare you oppose our Sea Burial Home?" The level 43 Shield Warrior looked at Shi Feng, no longer with his previous arrogance but with an extremely solemn expression. He threatened, "Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by our Sea Burial Home to the ends of the earth?"

The onlookers might not know what happened, but as an expert of Sea Burial Home, he knew everything clearly. While they were retreating, Shi Feng was able to grab all of them and pull them towards the center with just the right amount of force before retreating more than ten yards away. This skill and reaction speed were unheard of. He even doubted whether a player could do such a thing.

"You've been looking for me, and now you're asking who I am?" Shi Feng couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't intend to hide it. Anyone with a brain would know that the act of buying Magic Rune Shards at a high price was the work of a player, and Sea Burial Home had already come knocking. Without some kind of response, it would be detrimental to his development in Wind Fury Town.

"So, you're the owner of the general store." The level 43 Shield Warrior realized. "Since you're the owner of the general store, that makes things easier. Our Guild Leader said that he can allow your store to collect Magic Rune Shards in large quantities, but you must hand over 80% of your profits. Otherwise, you can forget about opening a store in the Sea of Annihilation! And you yourself will be endlessly hunted down by our Sea Burial Home."

Speaking of his Guild Leader's order, the Shield Warrior's previously apprehensive expression immediately returned to its usual arrogance and confidence, as if this were the system's rule, which no player could violate.

Such big talk sounded ridiculous, but none of the players in the Sea of Annihilation doubted it.

Because Sea Burial Home was one of the overlords of the Sea of Annihilation, and was vaguely ranked as the number one overlord. Even the Freedom Alliance had to give them some face and dared not confront them casually. Not to mention other forces in the Sea of Annihilation. Just the fact that Sea Burial Home had stores in all twelve major cities of the Sea of Annihilation was enough to show their strength.

As long as Sea Burial Home made a statement, how many people in the Sea of Annihilation would dare to set foot in a store that they weren't allowed to enter? This could be seen from Wind Fury Town alone.

Without players entering the store, how could they sell or buy items?

It would be as good as opening the store for nothing.

"Hahaha, interesting, so interesting!" Scorpion, who was watching all of this from afar, was overjoyed. The shadows and unpleasantness caused by the high teleportation fee before disappeared without a trace. "Now you're not only the target of our Sacred Magic Hall but also the target of Sea Burial Home. No matter how strong you are, you'll have a hard time in the future."

They of the Sacred Magic Hall knew something of the strength of Sea Burial Home. Although they couldn't compare to a super-first-rate guild, they were an old first-rate guild. Moreover, because of the investment of a large consortium and their development in the Sea of Annihilation, their current strength was extraordinary. It was precisely for this reason that Xia Tianqi had sought cooperation with Sea Burial Home.

Moreover, if Sea Burial Home were to deal with Shi Feng, it would be much easier for them to assassinate him. After all, Shi Feng couldn't operate a store in town. If he wanted to obtain weapons, equipment, and resources, he could only go to the wilderness to do quests and adventures. They would have many more opportunities to make a move then.

"But 80% of the profits, Sea Burial Home is really ruthless."

Scorpion looked at Shi Feng, curious about what answer Shi Feng would give. In his opinion, Shi Feng's greatest possibility was to give up opening the store. At least that way, he wouldn't offend Sea Burial Home. As for agreeing to Sea Burial Home's request, the possibility was very low. After all, 80% of the profits was no different from working for Sea Burial Home for free.

"Is that all your Guild Leader has to say?" Shi Feng asked.

"That's right. You must give us an answer today. Otherwise, we will assume that you reject our invitation and want to be enemies with our Sea Burial Home." The level 43 Shield Warrior said proudly.

"You must answer today?" Shi Feng smiled and said, "Then alright, go back and tell your Guild Leader, Yi Fang You Long, that if he wants to play, I'm willing to accompany him!"
