Chapter 1 The Abyss Curse

As the Abyss Curse activated, a pitch-black magic array immediately formed beneath the feet of the Seven Sins Flower members. Black mist roiled from the ground, immobilizing them like quicksand and causing their base attributes to plummet by 20% for a full ten minutes.

Even though the Seven Sins Flower members were all experts at the Refinement Realm or above and reacted quickly, immediately activating skills to break free, their combat power still declined significantly due to the drop in base attributes.

This put a strain on the MTs at the front, their health points rapidly decreasing. Even with the healers in the back line increasing their output, the healers couldn't keep up because the attribute decline affected dodging, evasion, and reaction time, causing the MTs to suffer far more damage than before.

Even Bloodhand Yama, who had previously overwhelmed Cola, now found himself restrained and forced into a defensive stance.

"What a powerful restrictive skill!" Feng Qianyu watched the Seven Sins Flower members' combat power plummet and couldn't help but turn her gaze toward Shi Feng, surprised that he had such a trump card.

With just one move, he had turned the tide of battle.

In truth, Shi Feng didn't want to use this move.

The Abyss Curse was a great AOE skill in group battles when unable to use items or magic-resistant skills. However, there were too many super forces on Thunder Island, and the contested area was small. The Abyss Curse had a cooldown of 20 minutes, so running into other super forces during that time would mean one less trump card.

On Jiulong Huang's side, his face darkened at the sight of this.

There weren't many Seven Sins Flower members to begin with, and they relied entirely on the MTs and healers to hold the line. Now that their attributes had plummeted, it would be difficult to withstand Feng Qianyu and the others' fierce attacks.

"Long Wu, lead the others and do everything you can to help Bloodhand! Do not let Feng Qianyu and the others break through!" Jiulong Huang ordered urgently.

Because of Shi Feng's move, the Seven Sins Flower members were constantly being whittled down, and they could break through in less than a minute. If they weren't stopped, it would be difficult to surround and kill Feng Qianyu later.

"Yes!"

Long Wu received the order and led more than thirty melee players to force their way through the outer perimeter at any cost.

Even with Bai Qingxue and Zhao Yueru leading the team to block them, they were repeatedly pushed back by Long Wu, a master who controlled a Domain. His ability to easily evade and block a barrage of magic skills meant that the health points he lost could be quickly restored by the healers in the back.

Using large-scale destructive magic in this confined space would only end up killing their own people, which would be a net loss.

However, if Long Wu got close, Silver Snow's passive skills would be unavoidable, always hitting the target directly. Each strike dealt tens of thousands of points of damage. Bai Qingxue could withstand it to some extent, but if anyone else was hit by Severing Blow, Long Wu would seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, instantly taking them out.

Meanwhile, Feng Qianyu's side was also attacking the constantly defending Seven Sins Flower members with everything they had, trying to break through as quickly as possible.

"It won't be that easy!" Bloodhand Yama gritted his teeth as he watched the remaining members dwindle to less than thirty, and activated Steel Fortress, a Tier 1 forbidden skill for Shield Warriors.

Immediately, all Seven Sins Flower members within a 30-yard radius centered on Bloodhand Yama were enveloped in a layer of silvery-white light. The damage taken by everyone was reduced by 30%, and their maximum health points were increased by 15%. Bloodhand Yama himself took 40% less damage and had his maximum health increased by 20%. This ultimate skill lasted for 12 seconds and had a two-hour cooldown.

As soon as this move was used, not only was the pressure on the healers in the back greatly reduced, but the Seven Sins Flower members' health points also constantly recovered.

"Good! As expected of Bloodhand Yama!" Jiulong Huang, who was assisting Long Wu in the rescue, couldn't help but rejoice.

At that moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of the engaged Seven Sins Flower members, and a scorching sword light swept toward the abdomen of a level 47 Guardian Knight. Although the Guardian Knight noticed it, his body's reaction was still a beat too slow, and he was hit by the sword light on the spot.

Bang!

Instantly, the level 47 Guardian Knight's health points, which were more than half full, were instantly reduced to zero. He stared at the black shadow in shock.

The black shadow was none other than Shi Feng.

After resting for a moment, his numb hands had finally recovered, and his health points were back to full thanks to healing spells.

Before the Guardian Knight could fall, Shi Feng appeared once more beside a level 48 Berserker. The Berserker tried to chop down with his axe, but Shi Feng easily blocked it with the Abyssal Blade. The Thunder Flame, radiating scorching fire, pierced the Berserker's heart without any hesitation.

The power of Flame Burst incinerated the Berserker into ashes.

After one strike, Shi Feng launched an attack on the shield warrior next to him.

The fifteen strikes of Flame Burst allowed Shi Feng to instantly kill eight Refinement Realm Seven Sins Flower members. The healers didn't even have time to react. This instantly reduced the number of Seven Sins Flower members to 19...

The speed of the kills left everyone around gasping for breath.

The weakest of the Seven Sins Flower members were Refinement Realm experts. Placing them in a first-rate guild would absolutely make them top-tier players. Yet, in front of Shi Feng, they were as fragile as paper.

"Ye Feng!" Bloodhand Yama's eyes nearly burst as he watched, abandoning Cola and violently swinging his double-edged battle axe at Shi Feng's head.

Tier 1 Forbidden Skill: Thunderclap!

A bolt of lightning fell upon the double-edged battle axe, not only greatly increasing its power, but also increasing its speed several times, heading straight for Shi Feng's defensive blind spot.

However, Shi Feng calmly met it with a sword.

Tier 2 Skill: Sword Light Phantom!

Boom!

The battle axe crashed into the Holy Sword Thunder Flame. Lightning crackled, sparks flew, and the ground beneath Shi Feng's feet directly collapsed, then shattered inch by inch, extending out to a radius of 10 yards. The power was astonishing.

"He blocked it?"

"Is he a man or a ghost? That's Guild Leader's strongest strike!"

The Seven Sins Flower members watched in stunned silence. Thunderclap increased strength by 330% and came with lightning damage. The attack speed also skyrocketed by 300%. Experts of the same level couldn't even dodge, let alone block it.

But Shi Feng not only blocked it, but also only lost a little more than one-fifth of his health points...

"How could this be?" Bloodhand Yama looked at Shi Feng in disbelief.

He believed his attack was perfect. Even a Domain Realm expert wouldn't have time to defend against this strike and would be instantly killed. But Shi Feng barely kept up with his speed.

As Thunderclap dissipated, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

Bloodhand Yama suddenly fell to the ground, his health points dropping frantically...

What was happening?

Everyone was dumbfounded. Bloodhand Yama had clearly launched an attack on Shi Feng, but Shi Feng hadn't fallen. Instead, Bloodhand Yama had died.

"What exactly happened?" The surrounding people were filled with questions.

"Sister Qianyu, what exactly did Ye Feng do? Why did Bloodhand Yama die instead?" Qing Huang asked in surprise.

"Bloodhand Yama was only thinking about killing Ye Feng, but he didn't know that Ye Feng was also targeting his life. Ye Feng lost one move, but Bloodhand Yama lost his life." Feng Qianyu took a deep breath and explained, "He's a madman!"

She found it hard to imagine that, facing such a powerful attack from an expert like Bloodhand Yama, Shi Feng had actually defended while launching an attack from Bloodhand Yama's blind spot.

A slight misstep could have led to mutual destruction.
