Chapter 1568: Mysterious Demon Expert
Chapter 1568 â Mysterious Demon Expert
Shi Fengâs sudden interference stunned every watching player.
âImpossible! Thatâs a Grand Lord!â
Grand Lords had an overwhelming Strength advantage against Tier 1 players of the same level. At this stage of the game, aside from peak MTs, players could barely block a Grand Lordâs attack after activating a Berserk Skill.
Yet, not only had Shi Feng blocked the Purgatory Puppetâs attack, but he had also sent it flyingâŚ
Before anyone could react, Shi Feng moved again and appeared before the other Purgatory Puppet. His Sacred Sword curved past the puppetâs four sabers and struck the Grand Lordâs chest.
Like a bullet, the Purgatory Demonâs body shot backward upon coming into contact with Killing Ray, smashing into the ground after flying across over a dozen yards. At the same time, a damage of over -20,000 appeared above its head.
In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng had successfully pulled Hidden Soul from her precarious situation.
Shi Feng then used the Aura of Waterâs Life Domain, recovering 10% of both Hidden Soul and Brute Spearâs HP every second for 30 seconds.
Before Hidden Soul could say anything, Shi Feng got ahead of her and said, âWe donât have time. Iâll make things simple. We need to deal with these two Purgatory Puppets before our Berserk Skills end. Otherwise, theyâll whittle us down until we die. From now on, Iâll tank both Grand Lords while you attack with everything youâve got.â
Although the Purgatory Puppets had far less HP than a normal Grand Lords, they still had a base HP of 27,000,000. Even after the Mana Soul Crystals and Disintegration Fieldâs suppression, both Purgatory Puppets had retained 60% of their Basic Attributes, putting their HPs at 16,200,000. This meant that they would recover 162,000 HP every five seconds. Even if all three players attacked the two Grand Lords with everything they had, it would take a considerable amount of time to defeat them. Furthermore, only two of them would be free to fight the Purgatory Puppets as Brute Spear was busy with the Great Lord ranked Magisteel Puppets.
They had to make good use of every second they had.
Fortunately, after stepping up to the altar, the Disintegrated debuff suppressing Shi Fengâs Basic Attributes had disappeared, which allowed him to fight at his peak. Even so, he needed to activate a Berserk Skill to suppress a Grand Lord of the same level. Once his Berserk Skillâs duration ended, fighting the Purgatory Puppets would become far more troublesome.
Hearing this, Hidden Soul realized the severity of the situation. She nodded and mentally pushed away the questions plaguing her mind.
By this time, the two Purgatory Puppets had recovered from Shi Fengâs attacks, staring at the Swordsman with emotionless, crimson eyes. The Grand Lords then released out an angry bellow, their sabers flashing as they emitted scorching, emerald flames.
This move was none other than the Purgatory Puppetâs trademark moveâPurgatory Blade!
âIt seems the Purgatory Puppets are finally getting serious. Itâll be even more difficult to take them down now.â
When the spectating crowd saw the emerald flames dance on the sabers, they unconsciously gulped.
Not only did Purgatory Blade increase the might of the Purgatory Puppetsâ attacks significantly, but it also improved the Grand Lordsâ attack range and Attack Speed. Skyhawkâs party had relied on their Guardian Knightâs Lifesaving Skill to stand against the Purgatory Puppetâs Purgatory Blade, and Skyhawk had used a portion of the thorny vines he had summoned with his Tier 3 Domain Skill to help block the attacks. Only after doing so had Skyhawkâs party managed to survive through the Purgatory Bladeâs 20-second duration.
However, Shi Fengâs party did not include an MT. It didnât have any healers, either. Defending against the Purgatory Puppetâs Skill would be far more difficult for their party. The Grand Lordsâ attack range bonus from the Skill was also terrifyingly vast, making their attacks impossible to dodge.
âIâll aggro one,â Hidden Soul hurriedly declared after seeing the Grand Lords activate Purgatory Blade. âIt is impossible for non-MT classes to tank both at the same time.â
Their partyâs situation wasnât like Skyhawkâs. Skyhawkâs party had only faced one Purgatory Puppet, whereas their party had to deal with two. When Skyhawkâs Purgatory Puppet had used Purgatory Blade, even the Guardian Knight nearly died after activating a Lifesaving Skill. Needless to say, the Grand Lordsâ attacks would annihilate any other class.
âNo! I can hold both of them by myself! You just need to focus on dealing damage!â Shi Feng said, grinning as he dashed at the two approaching Purgatory Puppets. At the same time, he activated the Abyssal Bladeâs Phantom Kill.
Suddenly, Shi Feng split into two copies of himself. Each copy then moved to take on a Purgatory Puppet.
âA doppelganger?â Hidden Soul was stunned when she saw Shi Feng split into two. She had never considered that he would have such a Skill.
Although a doppelgangerâs Basic Attributes were than the main bodyâs, a doppelgangerâs death wouldnât affect the player. Hence, using the doppelganger to waste a Purgatory Puppetâs Skill was definitely a wise decision. If the player controlled their doppelganger properly, it might even last through the Purgatory Bladeâs 20-second duration without mishaps.
As Hidden Soul pondered, she was shocked yet again.
Both Shi Feng and his doppelganger brandished their swords and clashed with the Purgatory Puppetsâ emerald sabers. When the opposing weapons collided, not only did Shi Feng and his doppelganger successfully block the attacks, but they also held their ground. In the end, both Shi Feng and his doppelganger blocked every one of the dozen or so attacks each Purgatory Puppet launched. Although the two Swordsmen lost some HP as the emerald fire burned them, the damage was insignificant with Life Domainâs recovery effect.
Seeing this, the spectating crowd was dumbfounded.
âWhatâs going on? Is that really a doppelganger? Arenât doppelgangers supposed to have weaker Attributes than the main body? That doppelganger seems just as powerful as the main body!â
âCrap! That guy can actually keep up with the Purgatory Puppetsâ rapid attacks while controlling both his body and his doppelganger! What kind of reaction speed does he have?!â
âAmazing! No wonder they dared to challenge two Purgatory Puppets!â
âAn expert! He is definitely one of Godâs Domainâs monster-level experts! Does anyone know who that is?â
âI know quite a few expert Demon Players, but Iâve never seen such a powerful Swordsman.â
As the battle on the altar progressed, the crowdâs interest in Shi Feng grew exponentially. This was the first time they had ever seen a Swordsman block two Grand Lords of the same level by himself.
Many of the Demon Players present even considered trying to befriend Shi Feng.
The competition was far more intense between Demon Players than it was between ordinary players. They placed far more value on strength. This was due to the extreme difficulty of the quests Demon Players had to complete. If they could befriend a Demon expert like Shi Feng, the man might even help them with their quests. With his help, they could rise through the demonic noble ranks.
âIsnât he the player that Hidden Soul randomly invited into her party? How is he so strong?â Skyhawk was astounded as he watched Shi Feng hold his ground against two Purgatory Puppets. The strength Shi Feng displayed was simply terrifying. âIs he some trump card Hidden Soul deliberately hid?â
Experts of Shi Fengâs caliber were incredibly rare, not to mention a Demon Player of such caliber. In Skyhawkâs opinion, Hidden Soul must know Shi Feng personally.
While the spectating crowd voiced their opinions of Shi Feng, the two Purgatory Puppets steadily lost HP.
Once Purgatory Blade ended, Shi Feng could occasionally launch counterattacks while blocking the Grand Lordsâ strikes. Every one of his ordinary attacks easily dealt over -20,000 damage, while his Skills dealt over -60,000. When he used Skills such as Shadow Blade and Flame Burst, his damage soared past -100,000 per hit.
Meanwhile, Hidden Soul attacked one of the two Purgatory Puppets in a frenzy. From time to time, when most of her powerful Skills were on Cooldown, she attacked with Tier 2 or 3 Magic Scrolls. As a result, the Purgatory Puppet she targeted lost HP rapidly.
Midway through the battle, though, the duration of Shi Fengâs doppelganger ran out. As a result, Shi Feng was forced to deal with two Purgatory Puppets personally. Fortunately, he had an advantage over his enemies with his Attributes, so he could still tank the two combat puppets without much issue. Only, his DPS suffered as a result.
Fortunately, under Hidden Soulâs full-powered assault, the duo defeated one of the Purgatory Puppets after five minutes of continuous fighting. Defeating one also alleviated the pressure on Shi Feng. Since he used the Power of Darkness, the Attribute enhancement remained intact even after fighting for so long. In contrast, Hidden Soulâs Berserk Skill had long since ended, and she had no choice but to transform into her Demon form to increase her combat power.
When Phantom Killâs Cooldown ended, Shi Feng summoned his doppelganger once more, significantly increasing their total DPS.

In the end, Shi Feng still had one minute with Power of Darkness by the time the final Purgatory Puppet collapsed.
As for the remaining Great Lord ranked Magisteel Puppets, Shi Fengâs Basic Attributes were far superior even without a Berserk Skill. Furthermore, his Berserk Skill was still active.
Following which, Shi Feng easily pushed around the Magisteel Puppets. When the final Magisteel Puppet died, the crowd below the altar fell silent. These players only recovered from their daze after a few seconds.
Shi Feng and his two companions heard the sound of a system notification.
