Chapter 1 Stalemate

In the narrow corridor, a large number of Blackwater members stared intently at a black-robed man wielding twin swords, standing quietly in the center.

Although the man's figure wasn't imposing, his mere presence stopped anyone in the corridor from daring to step forward.

A single glance from him caused them to involuntarily retreat.

"Damn it, how could such a monster be stationed here!" Qin Muyun, standing in the back row with a diamond-shaped shield, frowned tightly.

This man was Shi Feng.

Because of Shi Feng alone standing in the corridor, the elite troops she had brought were unable to advance even an inch, and they still couldn't enter the secret room.

"Melee fighters, all of you, attack! Ranged fighters, collective assault! I want to see if his stamina lasts longer than our numbers!" Qin Muyun shouted.

The most realistic aspect of the God's Domain game was stamina, something other virtual reality games lacked.

Even the most powerful experts had limited stamina, and any battle would consume it.

Furthermore, people weren't machines and couldn't fight forever.

Because of this, even the most powerful expert could be overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Of course, this was rare, as experts could escape when their stamina was low. But in this situation, Shi Feng couldn't escape. If he did, they could enter the secret room and seize the town token, and then Zero Wing would have no chance of recovery.

Upon hearing Qin Muyun's words, the Blackwater members exchanged glances, but still, no one readily stepped forward.

After all, Qin Muyun's words had already led to the deaths of hundreds of people, including many level 40 experts…

Yet, Shi Feng was still full of vigor.

Reaching this level wasn't easy, and dying meant losing a level. No one wanted to throw their lives away.

"What are you afraid of? He's currently in a weakened state, and his maximum stamina will also decrease. If anyone disobeys orders, you know the consequences!" Qin Muyun threatened, looking at the motionless, terrified crowd.

The Blackwater elites had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge forward.

Joining Blackwater wasn't easy, and disobeying orders had severe consequences. Not only would they be expelled from the guild, but they would also be hunted down. Compared to being hunted to level zero, losing one level now was a bargain.

Moreover, as Qin Muyun said, Shi Feng's stats were actually weaker than theirs right now. Although they didn't know why, the guild leader was in a weakened state.

Players in a weakened state not only had weakened stats, but their hidden stamina attribute also decreased significantly.

Shi Feng had already single-handedly killed hundreds of people, so his stamina should be almost depleted.

Thinking of this, the Blackwater elites gained a little more confidence and charged forward in groups of three to five.

The corridor was narrow, but it could accommodate five people abreast.

The five Berserkers simultaneously used Charge on Shi Feng, while the priests in the back row cast Prayer Shields on them. The Oracles added Protection, and the ranged attackers launched their attacks directly, giving Shi Feng no chance to dodge.

On Shi Feng's side, Ziyan Liuyun, standing in the secret room, cast a Prayer Shield on him, which could absorb more than 7,000 points of damage, almost twice as much as a normal priest's Prayer Shield.

When they were five yards away, Shi Feng gripped the Holy Sword Thunder, suddenly using Wind Lightning Flash. Five lightning serpents directly devoured the five Berserkers, not only shattering their Prayer Shields and Protection but also reducing their health by one-fifth and nullifying all ranged attacks.

Immediately afterward, Shi Feng used Sword's Orbit, and countless sword lights flickered, causing the five Berserkers under Sword's Orbit to cry out in agony.

Then, their health rapidly decreased, and even the healers in the back row couldn't keep up. Before they could heal, their health was gone. Afterward, the five of them were blasted out of the corridor by the sword lights like cannonballs.

All of this happened in just a few seconds…

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Although the dual bursts reduced his stats by 80%, the bonus from the Magic Tower and the Beginner Tyrant title allowed Shi Feng to maintain his stats at slightly above 30%. This base stat may not be as good as the experts from the Blackwater Guild, but it was comparable to the elites.

The upgraded Sword's Orbit had also greatly improved in power and was something the Blackwater elites couldn't withstand.

"Keep going!" Qin Muyun shouted again.

Even she couldn't see through Shi Feng's Sword's Orbit, but she wasn't stupid. The more powerful the combat skill, the greater the consumption of stamina and spirit.

If he kept using it, he would eventually run out of stamina and spirit.

However, Qin Muyun didn't know that Shi Feng possessed the Essence of Life, which could continuously restore stamina and spirit. One drop could last for two hours, so he wasn't afraid of attrition. On the contrary, constantly using Sword's Orbit allowed Shi Feng to become more proficient in its use.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

More than half of Qin Muyun's thousand-man army had been wiped out, but Shi Feng's momentum hadn't diminished. Instead, he was becoming more and more excited as he killed.

"Guild Leader is too awesome!"

"Yeah! Didn't you see that the beautiful commander is stunned? I bet she's already been captivated by the Guild Leader's figure and spirit!"

"He's holding back the Blackwater elite army all by himself, preventing them from entering the secret room. And that's with the Guild Leader in a weakened state. I can't even imagine what he'd be like at his peak."

The Zero Wing members in the secret room all looked at Shi Feng with admiration, greatly encouraged.

They could even feel the blood in their bodies starting to boil.

They had previously watched Shi Feng's battles in videos, which felt somewhat unreal. But now, personally experiencing the pressure of a thousand elite troops and the fact that Shi Feng had single-handedly killed most of them, they were filled with nothing but shock.

What is a master?

Shi Feng had already demonstrated it vividly.

Even with similar stats, one person could still make a thousand elite troops tremble.

"It's a pity to just let us watch this. Let's just upload the video."

"Yeah, I'll upload it now and let the people in Blackwater know that just because a guild has a lot of people doesn't mean it's great. Our guild leader alone is enough to guard a small town!"

The Zero Wing members said, uploading the video to the official website.

The title was: One Man, One Sword, Guards One Town. What Can You Do to Us, Blackwater?

A short while after the video was uploaded, the entire Star-Moon Kingdom forum exploded. The number of clicks soared to over a million in less than a minute.

"WTF, is this even human?"

"The number one expert of Star-Moon Kingdom is indeed well-deserved! He's simply not human! That's a thousand elite experts!"

"Blackwater is going to have a headache. If they don't defeat Black Flame, I'm afraid they really won't be able to capture Stone Forest Town!"

…

The players on the entire forum were watching with excitement.

One man, one sword, guards one town!

Such a feat would definitely become a legend in God's Domain, and Blackwater would become the stepping stone…

The Zero Wing members who hadn't participated in the battle were also deeply affected by the video. They couldn't wait to rush to Stone Forest Town and fight alongside their guild leader.

"Damn it, kill Black Flame for me immediately, no matter what it takes!" After seeing the video, Qiyi Tao's face turned ashen, and he roared almost frantically.

Just as only a few of the people Qin Muyun had brought remained, a group of players wearing red and white short robes suddenly walked into the corridor. Leading them was a tall and beautiful woman with a level of 41, carrying a huge battle axe on her back, looking at Shi Feng with a playful smile.

"Heaven Breaker War God, Blood Red Rain!" Shi Feng's expression turned somewhat solemn upon seeing this woman.
