Chapter 1 Golden Thunder

After the golden lightning, a large area was cleared out of the dense forest. Even though the members of the Ghost Shadow Legion were very scattered, over a hundred people were instantly killed by a single strike.

Ghost Shadow, who was hiding not far away, watched with a livid face.

Killing players with a single blow was one thing, but with this one strike, thirty or forty Lord-ranked monsters were wiped out. To kill a single Lord-ranked monster, even a level 80 Tier 3 NPC would take a considerable amount of time, but now they were instantly killed...

The surviving High Lords were left with only a sliver of health, and the four Grand Lord-ranked monsters were severely injured, their health reduced to just over a third.

Such terrifying damage and destructive power was simply unheard of.

Everyone was stunned by the battle prowess displayed by the War Angel, and for a moment, they were frozen in place, not knowing what to do.

With such terrifying combat power, standing still meant death, and if they tried to escape, they would probably be wiped out by the War Angel before they could even escape the forbidden area.

"Don't panic! Everyone, scatter quickly! This War Angel won't last long, and such a powerful skill must have a long cooldown. Keep your distance from the War Angel and stall for time!" Ghost Shadow quickly commanded.

The War Angel's combat power was indeed beyond Ghost Shadow's expectations, but Ghost Shadow was no ordinary player. He was a veteran who had fought his way through countless battles and faced countless bosses. He quickly calmed down and devised a plan to deal with the War Angel. After all, this wasn't the first time he had seen a War Angel. It had appeared during the first siege of Stone Forest Town, so he knew the War Angel's strengths and weaknesses very well.

As long as they scattered completely, the War Angel wouldn't be able to kill them all with its limited duration.

Hearing Ghost Shadow's words, everyone immediately took action and began to keep their distance from the War Angel.

"They react quickly." Shi Feng was slightly surprised by the Ghost Shadow Legion's reaction. If everyone had scattered in a panic, it would have been easier for him to kill them, but deliberately maintaining their distance and trying to lure him meant the War Angel wouldn't be able to kill many players and monsters in that short time.

However, Shi Feng wasn't worried at all. Instead, he was unusually calm and immediately issued instructions to Anna.

Anna began to chant, summoning ten Rock Guardians, who immediately formed a magic barrier, trapping two High Grand Lord-ranked monsters inside, preventing them from escaping.

The War Angel immediately turned and appeared in front of the two High Grand Lord-ranked monsters in the blink of an eye. The Thunder Spear in its hand swept out violently, and a bolt of lightning flashed, the two monsters didn't even have time to react before they were sent flying twenty yards away, crashing heavily into the magic barrier, their health bars plummeting sharply.

"Not good, his target is the High Grand Lord-ranked monsters!" Ghost Shadow's face was incredibly gloomy as he watched the two monsters suddenly trapped. He shouted in the team chat, "Quick! Everyone, attack the magic barrier now!"

Each High Grand Lord-ranked monster was extremely precious, and cultivating one depended entirely on luck.

The Beast Emperor had only given the Heavenly Burial Guild two of them to use as trump cards against the Zero Wing Guild. Each High Grand Lord-ranked monster could easily wipe out a hundred-man elite team, and when used to ambush teams in the wild, they were like gods of death, unstoppable.

If the guild leader, Yi Xiao Du Zang, hadn't placed such importance on the NPC caravan, he would never have used two High Grand Lord-ranked monsters.

"Too late!" Shi Feng smiled faintly and used Phantom Kill, Nine Dragons Slash, and God's Grace.

Clones and twelve Abyss Blade phantoms simultaneously slashed at the monsters.

The two High Grand Lord-ranked monsters were completely helpless in the face of the War Angel, allowing Shi Feng to unleash his full power.

The War Angel dealt double damage to dark creatures, each attack dealing over a million damage points. A Tier 4 single-target skill, Lance of Punishment, instantly reduced the High Grand Lord-ranked monster's health by more than a third.

Shi Feng possessed the Holy Sword, Thunder, which also dealt double damage to dark creatures. In the Dragon's Power burst mode, any random strike could deal over 100,000 damage points. With a single Sword Light Phantom, the monster's health instantly dropped by over a million...

Although the clones' attacks weren't as powerful as the main body's, they still had 80% of the base stats, making their damage considerable. Anna and Kite also provided support from the side.

Sword lights flashed, and the 35 million health bar seemed to burst like a dam, rapidly depleting. In less than six seconds, one High Grand Lord-ranked monster fell to the ground, dropping several items and bringing Shi Feng a massive amount of experience, pushing his experience bar closer and closer to level 57.

"Quick! Break the magic barrier!" Ghost Shadow's face was incredibly gloomy as he watched one of the High Grand Lords being killed.

However, no matter how the players and monsters attacked the magic barrier from the outside, the magic barrier didn't react at all. Only the Rock Guardians maintaining the barrier lost some health. It was impossible to deplete the health of the ten Rock Guardians in a short amount of time.

Ghost Shadow and the others could only watch helplessly as the other High Grand Lord's health rapidly decreased under the War Angel's attacks, but there was nothing they could do.

Time passed, and the War Angel's duration was running out.

Seeing that the War Angel had only one second left before it dissipated, its body already beginning to turn ethereal, while the High Grand Lord-ranked monster still had over seventeen million health, Ghost Shadow breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Without the War Angel's suppression, it would be difficult for Shi Feng to deal much damage to the High Grand Lord-ranked monster. Even with the support of two direct-line NPCs, they could only slowly wear it down, which would give them time to break the magic barrier.

"Die!"

Shi Feng couldn't help but roar, the twin swords in his hands radiating a dazzling light, and the clones did the same. He then violently swung the swords at the monster's back.

Fire Burst!

Each firelight could deal over 800,000 damage to the monster, and some critical hits doubled the damage. The main body and clones unleashed thirty strikes in a row, instantly clearing the remaining seventeen million health points of the monster, killing it for good.

"How is that possible!" Ghost Shadow was instantly dumbfounded.

Not only was Ghost Shadow shocked, but everyone in the Ghost Shadow Legion was also stunned by Shi Feng's terrifying burst.

Over seventeen million health points vanished in an instant. Such explosive power was simply unheard of.

Shi Feng instantly leveled up to 57. The speed of his leveling was faster than a rocket.

As the two High Grand Lord-ranked monsters died, they dropped a pile of items. However, as the battle was still ongoing, Shi Feng didn't care and stuffed them all into his bag.

"Guild Leader, what do we do now?" The blue-clad assassin looked at Shi Feng standing inside the magic barrier, especially seeing the smile on Shi Feng's lips, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Even a half-health High Grand Lord-ranked monster had been instantly killed by Shi Feng. Who could withstand that?

"Retreat! We can't stay here." Ghost Shadow sighed helplessly.

Although the War Angel was gone, their only High Grand Lord-ranked monster, which could compete with Shi Feng, was also gone. Staying here to fight to the death would only give Shi Feng more experience points. As for trying to kill Shi Feng, just seeing the combat power Shi Feng had displayed was enough to know that it was futile.
