Chapter 虎威 Defeated!

"Hu Wei lost!"

"What on earth happened? Why did Hu Wei get taken down when he was about to finish off Ye Feng? Was Hu Wei attacked? But Hu Wei used Ghost Steps, how could he get hit in a close-quarters battle?"

"Can someone explain this?"

Hua Yu Luosheng, in the VIP seats, stared at Hu Wei, who had fallen on the arena, in disbelief, almost roaring at her companions.

From beginning to end, she had been staring intently at the arena, believing she had focused all her attention on the two combatants. But Hu Wei, with his ghostly speed, circled behind Shi Feng, and just when it looked like he would take him down, he was defeated.

What did Shi Feng do during that time?

The players in the audience were even more bewildered. Hu Wei's movements had already been too fast for them to react. The entire battle ended before they could even understand what had happened.

"Is this acting? Is this a publicity stunt by the Zero Wing Guild?"

"No, even if it's acting, this is still a competition. A victor won't emerge unless one side's HP is completely depleted. But how could they take down a Berserker with over 30,000 HP in such a short moment?"

...

Everyone was completely baffled by the match. Even the exclamations were absent. They silently watched the arena, as if the match hadn't even begun.

"What did Guild Leader do?" Hei Zi couldn't help but ask.

With his eyesight, he could barely keep up with Hu Wei's movements, but he didn't see when Shi Feng launched his attack.

"Is this a Tier 2 class?" Shui Se Rose looked at Shi Feng in the arena, her eyes filled with shock.

"Sister Shui Se, do you know what happened?" Fei Ying asked anxiously.

"I just realized it myself. When Hu Wei circled past Guild Leader, a flash of azure light appeared for a moment. It should have hit Hu Wei at that time. However, Hu Wei didn't seem to react either. But that speed was indeed too fast. I just pulled up the recording and watched it in slow motion. Guild Leader's swordsmanship was orthodox and didn't use the terrifying speed of *shun kai*. This speed isn't about sword speed, but about reaction speed. The body's reaction speed has exceeded what our eyes can react to," Shui Se Rose explained after thinking for a moment.

"Guild Leader is indeed a monster." Fei Ying was enlightened. He originally thought that after so much hard training, he could narrow the gap a little, but the gap didn't decrease, but continued to widen.

After the match, Hu Wei also revived. He looked at Shi Feng in the arena with both awe and confusion.

Compared to Shi Feng's unbelievable attack, he couldn't understand at all how Shi Feng saw through his Ghost Steps.

His guild leader had said that even the top 100 experts on the Stormwind List would have difficulty seeing through this technique, let alone using it against Shi Feng for the first time.

But Hu Wei would never have guessed that Shi Feng had seen Ghost Steps many times, not just once. Although Ghost Steps were very strange, they were a high-level combat skill that combined special footwork, murderous aura lock, and breath concealment, making people mistakenly believe that there were enemies everywhere, when in fact it was all fake. It could be said that it was a technique specifically designed to deal with experts, because experts' intuition was too keen, and they often acted directly through intuition. Therefore, techniques specifically targeting intuition were very powerful. If it were an ordinary player, this kind of high-level combat skill would have little effect.

In addition to being a top expert, Shi Feng was also a Tier 2 Swordsman, with a physique far surpassing Hu Wei. For speeds that ordinary people couldn't react to, Shi Feng only needed to concentrate slightly, and Hu Wei's movements would be played in slow motion. There was no need to use intuition to fight at all.

Yet Hu Wei dared to run within five or six yards of him; he simply didn't know the meaning of death.

As a result, he triggered the lightning effect of the Holy Sword Thunder Slay and was instantly killed.

"Who else wants to go? A battle that doesn't even count as a warm-up is really boring." Shi Feng smiled at Xing Huo in the VIP seats.

"You..." Hu Wei was so angry when he heard this that he almost vomited blood.

Zhi Shou Buqi and the others also had gloomy expressions and hesitant eyes.

Shi Feng's performance had indeed stunned them.

As expected, rumors were not to be believed.

They originally thought that the Zero Wing Guild, in addition to Guild Leader Hei Yan and the leader of the main force, Huo Wu, had such terrifying experts. This was completely different from the rumored strength. This wasn't just an expert similar to Huo Wu, but an expert at the level of Hei Yan, or even surpassing Hei Yan.

"The Zero Wing Guild lives up to its reputation. No wonder it can become a legendary guild in the Star-Moon Kingdom." Xing Huo looked at Shi Feng in the arena, his fighting spirit growing stronger and stronger.

"Xing Huo, you have to think carefully. If you want to deal with this Ye Feng, you might have to use all your trump cards. It will be difficult to challenge Dragon Phoenix Pavilion of the Black Dragon Empire afterward," Zhi Shou Buqi reminded him cautiously.

"I understand. So what if I expose them? I'm going to fight Hei Yan tomorrow anyway. Letting him know my trump cards can be considered a fair competition." Xing Huo smiled indifferently and walked quickly toward the arena.

At this time, Xing Huo was wearing a black scale armor and carrying a dark purple greatsword that was as tall as a person and as wide as his shoulders. The sword was engraved with cyan magic patterns, and the surrounding magic power involuntarily flowed into the greatsword, causing the dark purple greatsword to emit cyan lightning from time to time, making crackling sounds. He looked like a monster, making people feel cold all over.

With each step Xing Huo took, his aura increased, making everyone in the venue feel a lot of pressure. He also removed the disguise of his previous weapons, equipment, and level.

"Level 45! How is this possible? Even the number one on the level leaderboard of the Black Dragon Empire is only level 44..."

"So strong! Too strong! No wonder he dares to challenge the Zero Wing Guild. The Zero Wing Guild is in trouble now."

"Why do I feel like I want to run away when I look at him?"

"Damn, he actually has three Epic-grade equipment! The halo emitted by that greatsword is so special. What level is it?"

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but exclaim when they looked at Xing Huo.

Xing Huo's weapons and equipment not only shocked the free players present, but even Hei Zi and the others were amazed. This set of equipment could be comparable to Huo Wu and Bai Qingxue in the guild.

However, Shi Feng didn't pay much attention to Xing Huo's equipment. His eyes were all focused on the dark purple greatsword that Xing Huo was carrying.

"Why is the Storm Blade with him?" Shi Feng wondered.

The Storm Blade was one of the thirty-six famous swords of God's Domain, and its ranking was very high, far above the Holy Sword Thunder Slay. It was a two-handed sword ranked fourteenth.

This sword was very famous because it was the weapon that the Sword God Huang Tianji became famous with. He debuted when he was at Tier 3 and only changed weapons when Huang Tianji advanced to Tier 6 Sword God.

The attributes of the Storm Blade were so amazing that a Tier 3 player could use it until he advanced to Tier 6 Sword God.

Now, the Storm Blade was actually in the hands of a player he had never heard of, which was really puzzling.

"Do you also want a close-quarters battle?" Shi Feng looked at Xing Huo, who was walking onto the arena, and couldn't help but ask.

"No, you are very strong and qualified for a formal match." Xing Huo shook his head and said proudly, "And I don't want you to hold back, otherwise the battle will end quickly."

Although Shi Feng showed overwhelming power, it didn't seem to have any effect on Xing Huo at all. He didn't think he had any chance of losing.

"Alright." Shi Feng then sent Xing Huo a battle invitation.

The countdown to the match also began to be displayed in the sky above the arena.
