Chapter 1 The Instant Kill

The Shadow Mouse was instantly killed, stunning Canglang Zhantian and the others who had been paying close attention to it.

As teammates, they knew very well how strong the Shadow Mouse was.

Moreover, the Shadow Mouse was a Tier 1 Assassin who had mastered the Eye of Perception. It could easily discern an opponent's attack trajectory and react appropriately. Furthermore, most of its equipment was Fine-Gold quality at Level 25, giving it over 4,400 HP. Even Canglang Zhantian would have to expend some effort to take down the Shadow Mouse. In fact, Canglang Zhantian wouldn't even be able to stop the Shadow Mouse if it wanted to escape.

Yet, it had been instantly killed with a single sword strike…

And they hadn't even seen what had happened. All they saw was the swordsman in the black cloak, whose face they couldn't make out, as the silver longsword in his hand transformed into a silver flash, followed by the Shadow Mouse's death.

How could they not be shocked?

Shi Feng didn't stop after killing the Shadow Mouse, instead charging towards Canglang Zhantian and the others.

This time, he didn't hold back his speed. He sprinted at full speed, becoming a ghostly figure in the darkness, almost impossible to see.

"Not good, he's been hiding his strength. Those who aren't Tier 1 classes, retreat first! I'll hold off the Boss! The rest of you, try to restrain him, but be careful to keep your distance from him. His sword speed is too fast; don't get too close!" Canglang Zhantian immediately shouted in the team chat.

Although Canglang Zhantian had given the best instructions, he was still very surprised.

Why would he encounter such a powerful expert ambushing them?

And judging by the looks of it, they were the target from the start.

This made Canglang Zhantian very puzzled.

Their team had always maintained a low profile in Yi Xiao Qingcheng and hadn't provoked anyone. It was an ace elite team secretly organized by Yi Xiao Qingcheng; even ordinary guild members didn't know about their team.

Yet, the attacker had come at the perfect time to ambush them.

However, the most incredible thing was the attacker's strength, definitely the most skilled expert he had ever seen.

Although it was just a single sword strike, he could already clearly see how strong the attacker was.

Putting aside technique, just the basic attributes alone far surpassed the Shadow Mouse. Even if the opponent didn't use any skills, it would be very difficult for the Shadow Mouse to block that sword strike, not to mention that the sword strike had no extraneous movements. The Shadow Mouse couldn't react in time and was killed, which was perfectly normal.

In fact, Canglang Zhantian's judgment was correct in that overwhelming power could overcome all techniques.

Shi Feng was wearing the Tier 1 Hurricane Set, and even had the extremely rare Epic-ranked ring and Fragmented Legendary item, the Holy Breath of the Sky Dragon. In his hand he held the superb Dark-Gold ranked sword, Abyssal Blade, and the Demon Weapon, the Abyssal Binding Chains, and he was a Tier 1 Sword Saint. His Single-Handed Sword Mastery had reached the Sword Master level. In terms of basic attributes, he completely outclassed the Shadow Mouse.

Even though the Shadow Mouse had touched the threshold of the Subtle Realm, in the face of absolute power, this level of combat skill was useless. Moreover, Shi Feng had used Flowing Water Acceleration for insurance. How could the Shadow Mouse withstand such a swift and ultimate sword strike?

However, the Shadow Mouse was also unlucky. With its 4,400+ HP, even if Shi Feng's basic attributes were very strong, he wouldn't be able to kill it with a single sword strike. It would take at least two strikes. However, the sword strike that hit the Shadow Mouse triggered a triple critical hit, making it impossible for the Shadow Mouse to survive…

In a few breaths, the remaining six experts from Canglang Zhantian's team blocked Shi Feng's path. Among these six, three were melee classes—a Swordsman and two Berserkers—while the remaining three were a Cleric, an Elementalist, and a Ranger. All six were Tier 1 classes.

A small team of ordinary Tier 1 class players against a twenty-man guild elite team was simply too easy, especially since these six were true experts with excellent coordination.

"I don't believe it; there's no way the six of us can't beat you alone," a Level 27 Silver-Armored Berserker said unhappily, looking at the approaching Shi Feng.

"Still, be careful. This person's attack power is too high. Even if you're plate-armor classes, you can't withstand more than a few sword strikes. You just need to restrain and control him; we ranged classes will attack him," a tall Level 26 female Elementalist said.

"Got it, don't worry," another Level 26 Black-Armored Berserker said with a smile.

They were full of confidence in dealing with Shi Feng.

Usually, they would often PK and practice. As long as the three melee classes joined forces, even their leader, Canglang Zhantian, would die. Not to mention, they now had three ranged classes to cooperate with. They didn't believe that the black-robed swordsman in front of them could turn the situation around.

Immediately, the Tier 1 Ranger fired arrows of frost to block Shi Feng's movements, while the Tier 1 Elementalist used Ice Spears and Ice Walls in conjunction. Both had mastered the Eye of Perception and could anticipate Shi Feng's movements and attack early. Under their combined efforts, Shi Feng had no choice but to avoid them and dodge left and right.

"Watch this!" The Silver-Armored Berserker seized the opportunity, gripped the greatsword in his hand, and used Flame Charge to slash at Shi Feng.

Flame Charge had a stun effect on the target for over a second. As long as Shi Feng was stunned for a second, he wouldn't be able to withstand the concentrated fire of the crowd, even with ten thousand HP. Moreover, there was another Berserker not far away who was also using Charge, forming a time difference with the first Silver-Armored Warrior. Even if Shi Feng activated a skill to block Charge, he could only block one, not the second. The most speechless thing was that the two were attacking from the left and right, making it impossible to face them head-on. Not to mention, the three ranged classes had blocked all of Shi Feng's retreats. There was no way to avoid it, and wanting to escape meant getting hit…

"Die!"

The Level 26 Black-Armored Berserker raised his battle-axe, waiting for Shi Feng to use a skill to resist the Silver-Armored Berserker's Charge, and he would be the one to finish Shi Feng off.

The only thing Shi Feng could do now was to sacrifice HP to save his life, but in the long run, the result would still be death. It was just a matter of dying sooner or later.

"Why isn't he dodging?" the Tier 1 female Elementalist in the distance said in surprise.

She saw Shi Feng standing still as the Level 27 Silver-Armored Berserker arrived in front of Shi Feng, greatsword raised high and about to fall.

Clang!

Sparks flew as Shi Feng used his sword to block the Silver-Armored Berserker's full-strength attack.

"You're dead!" The Black-Armored Berserker on the other side sneered repeatedly. He hadn't chosen to exchange HP for a chance to live, and hadn't even used a skill; he was simply insane.

Being stunned by two Charges meant certain death.

When the Black-Armored Berserker followed closely behind and charged at Shi Feng, an axe fell.

Everyone heard the sound of metal colliding again.

"How could this be?" The Black-Armored Berserker looked at Shi Feng in astonishment as Shi Feng used Abyssal Blade to block his axe. "Does he have a skill that can temporarily grant immunity to control effects?"

The two massive Berserkers stood on either side of Shi Feng, but couldn't deal any damage.

"Even if you have an immunity skill, it's useless."

The Silver-Armored Berserker roared and his size increased slightly, clearly using a burst skill to increase his strength, and then used Cross Slash.

The other Black-Armored Berserker used Whirlwind Slash.

"Now it's my turn, right?" Shi Feng said softly.
