Chapter 1298 Ruthless Calculation

The purplish-gold magic barrier appeared out of thin air, causing the Blackwater members, who had been so excited, to look around in horror.

The magic barrier would not only affect their combat power.

The most important point was that they couldn't leave Shilin Town, while Zero Wing could have continuous support.

At this time, Qi Yitao's face turned ashen as he stared at Shi Feng disguised on top of the obelisk.

As long as the magic barrier existed, none of them could leave Shilin Town. Furthermore, Lancelot's dropped items would remain unclaimed for two hours after players saw them. Once someone was killed, the items they picked up would drop.

Two hours was enough time for Zero Wing's reinforcements to arrive and eliminate them all.

...

"What a ruthless scheme!" Yuan Tiexin, who was watching the battle from the remote town of Sam, felt a hint of fear towards Shi Feng. "Blackwater, Underworld, and Pantheon are truly finished this time."

Thinking about it now, Shi Feng was simply too terrifying.

He not only possessed extraordinary strength, but also unimaginable cunning.

Facing such a powerful Blackwater Guild, they had been unknowingly weakened to this extent. Even a seasoned veteran like him was only now realizing it. This battle, from beginning to end, was actually under Shi Feng's control. But even if Blackwater and the others realized it now, it was too late.

The Blackwater Guild now had neither a numerical advantage nor an advantage in peak combat power, not even in terrain.

"Uncle Yuan, Zero Wing has already won this battle. Are we still going to talk to Black Flame?" Zi Qiong asked.

She had no interest in the outcome of this battle. However, through this battle, she became even more certain of one thing: she wanted to challenge Black Flame.

"Go, of course we're going. Or rather, it's precisely because Zero Wing won that our visit is more valuable," Yuan Tiexin said with a smile.

Although Zero Wing had won, Shilin Town had been destroyed.

Without the financial support of Shilin Town, Candlelight Firm alone couldn't support Zero Wing. They urgently needed new sources of gold coins, otherwise the guild's development would soon stagnate. Especially at this crucial juncture, as experts from various major guilds entered level 40 one after another, the issue of mounts needed to be addressed properly, or the gap between guilds would widen.

And their Heavenly Secret Pavilion could provide Zero Wing with cities and markets for development.

They wouldn't have to worry about getting the Magic Tower construction blueprint then.

...

Time passed bit by bit, and Blackwater, Underworld, and Pantheon inside Shilin Town were frantically attacking the obelisk.

"All MTs clear the way for me, healers focus on healing, assassins all sneak in. As long as we destroy the magic crystal on the tower, we can leave here!" Qi Yitao joined the battle, directing and fighting at the same time. "Whoever can destroy the magic crystal on the tower, I'll give him an Epic item!"

Wan Shi Wushuang and Yi Xiao Du Zang nodded in agreement with Qi Yitao's decision.

After all, they had obtained a full twenty-six items dropped by Lancelot, while Zero Wing had only gotten two. If they only needed to give up one Epic item to leave with twenty-six drops, it was a very worthwhile deal no matter how they looked at it.

Everyone was invigorated upon hearing this, and they fought with abandon, risking their lives.

In God's Domain now, as levels increased, high-quality weapons and equipment were becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Dark-Gold weapons and equipment were already seen as divine items by ordinary players, not to mention Epic items.

Those could be called treasures that changed people's lives.

As elite members of the guild, they dreamed of obtaining an Epic item.

Whether it was dungeons or ancient ruins in God's Domain, the more dangerous the place, the easier it was to obtain good weapons and equipment. However, entering these places also placed considerable demands on the players' own skill level and basic attributes.

Epic items were incomparable to Dark-Gold items. Having an Epic item was a great boost for elite players, enough to allow them to meet the entry requirements. To put it bluntly, they could only mingle at the elite level before, but obtaining an Epic item was like getting a ticket to the world of experts.

The same was true for expert players. After all, even super guilds didn't have many Epic items, and only a small number of top experts were qualified to equip them.

Instantly, the momentum of the Blackwater members soared. They ignored the increasing number of Zero Wing members and rushed madly into the obelisk.

"They're really desperate." Bai Qingsnow, blocking the surging crowd, felt a bit strained even with her abilities. They were fighting with an exchange-of-injuries tactic. If it weren't for the ample healing from behind, she would have been drowned by the sea of people.

However, this tactic allowed Qi Yitao and the others to tear open a gap leading to the obelisk.

Immediately, Qi Yitao, Wan Shi Wushuang, and Yi Xiao Du Zang led hundreds of elites into the obelisk.

Inside the obelisk was a spiral corridor that led all the way to the top.

Just as they were about to reach the top, a dark figure suddenly blocked their path.

The moment this figure appeared, Qi Yitao and the others couldn't help but stop, their eyes filled with dread as they looked at this figure.

Because this figure was none other than the president of the Zero Wing Guild, Black Flame, also known as the Sword King, the number one expert in the Star-Moon Kingdom.

If they had only had some awe for the name of Black Flame before this battle, they would definitely not have felt dread. But after seeing Black Flame's amazing performance, even if they didn't want to, they would feel chills down their spines when they looked at the azure longsword in Black Flame's hand.

"Black Flame! Do you think you can stop so many of us alone?" Although Qi Yitao was somewhat afraid, the situation now was different from before.

Not only was he weakened and had his magic suppressed, but the corridor was much wider than the corridor in the underground secret room, enough for more than a dozen people to surround and attack, instead of just having to defend against three to five people in front.

"How would I know if I don't try?" Shi Feng shrugged, glanced at the apprehensive crowd, and chuckled.

"Arrogant!" Wan Shi Wushuang suddenly charged forward, crashing towards Shi Feng with his shield like a bear pouncing on its prey.

The other melee players quietly circled around to both sides, preparing to surround Shi Feng.

Immediately after, Yi Xiao Du Zang also shot several arrows, assisting Wan Shi Wushuang in blocking Shi Feng's space for dodging to both sides.

If Shi Feng wasn't in a weakened state and hadn't had his magic suppressed, they might still be somewhat afraid, but they weren't afraid now.

Shi Feng didn't dodge or evade, letting Wan Shi Wushuang crash into him.

Bang!

With a crisp sound of metal colliding, Wan Shi Wushuang, who was the size of a bear, felt as if he had crashed into a truck. His body couldn't help but retreat four or five steps.

Everyone was stunned.

Wan Shi Wushuang, as Pantheon's top shield warrior, was actually knocked back by a swordsman who was weakened and had his skills suppressed. No one would believe it if they said it out loud.

"You!" Wan Shi Wushuang's heart was also full of shock.

Others might not know how much power it took to knock him back, but he knew very well that it was impossible without the power of a high-level lord of nearly the same level.

How could a player in a weakened state possess the power of a high-level lord of nearly the same level?
