Chapter 1725 â Fighting a Mythic with Brute Force
âIs he really the Sword King?â
Surprise overcame the thousands of players in line for Beast Emperorâs checkpoint when they saw the ten sword lights end the five melee players.
Everyone here knew of Black Flame, especially after Zero Wingâs battle with Heavenâs Burial at Stone Forest Town. The man was even capable of taking on war weapons. During the battle with Blackwater at the Primordial Divine Ruin, Black Flame had even slain Singular Burial, Heavenâs Burialâs original Guild Leader, with one attack.
Black Flameâs shocking battle records had become a hot topic for players in the various kingdoms and empires neighboring the Orc Empire long ago.
Due to Black Flameâs popularity, many players had attempted to analyze why he was so powerful. These players had even publicly exposed some of Black Flameâs Skills. Among Black Flameâs various Skills, Shadow Blade was considered one of the manâs trademark moves because it wasnât a Skill of a Tier 2 Sword Master. Based on everyoneâs deduction, it was most likely a Unique Skill of a hidden class.
Shi Fengâs summoning of nine additional attacks with a single swing of his sword was likely a result of his Shadow Blade Skill. Including the fact that Shi Feng had declared himself as a member of Zero Wing, there was a very high possibility that Shi Feng was Black Flame.
As they realized this, everyone watching got goosebumps.
Black Flame had defeated Beast Emperorâs army once before, and his control of summoned creatures had been astounding. He was definitely one of Godâs Domainâs mythical characters. They never expected to have a chance to meet or interact with this Swordsman.
Now, not only did they get to see Black Flame in person, but they also got to watch him attack Beast Emperorâs checkpoint.
They were going to watch a historic moment happen right before their very eyes. Why wouldnât they be excited?
âWhat?! Why are we so unlucky?!â
Beast Emperorâs subordinates, who had planned to charge at Shi Feng, slid to a stop as they stared at their adversary. All of their prior confidence and rage disappeared. Now, only fear flashed in their eyes.
Although they were expert players and wore excellent equipment, they did not think, even for a second, that they could contend with Shi Feng. Moreover, they had all watched this manâs battle videos. He could even slay Tier 2 experts as easily as slicing vegetables, let alone Tier 1 players like themselves.
They could only hope to buy as much time as possible for the Evil Demons to arrive and deal with Shi Feng.
There were hundreds of Evil Demons nearby, the weakest of which was a Level 70 Lord, while the strongest was a Level 80 Mythic ranked Evil Demon. Even if Shi Feng were more powerful, there was no way he could solo a Level 80 Mythic Evil Demon.
âNot gonna attack?â Shi Feng smiled as he swept a glance across Beast Emperorâs remaining eight subordinates. âThen, I guess itâs my turn.â
Saying so, Shi Feng vanished, only leaving behind an afterimage.
In the blink of an eye, Shi Feng reappeared roughly 10 yards away from a Level 50 Summoner. Before this Summoner could cast a Spell, a blue flash devoured him.
The Summonerâs HP, which had been over 34,000, hit zero instantly. The Summonerâs vision then darkened as his body collapsed, a pair of Level 45 Dark-Gold ranked gloves dropping beside his corpse. After Shi Feng unhurriedly pocketed the pair of gloves, he made his way to the Level 50 Ranger nearby.
Although the Level 50 Ranger had reacted by activating his Backward Leap Skill, Shi Feng had swung Killing Ray before the Skill could take effect.
One of the four streaks of lightning that emerged from the Sacred Sword devoured the Ranger, who turned into a pile of ash and left behind a pair of pants.
The other three streaks of lightning assaulted three other subordinates. Aside from the one Elementalist that activated his Lifesaving Skill in time, the lightning tore the life from the Cleric and Oracle, robbing them of all of their HPs.
As if space itself had frozen, silence dominated Shi Fengâs surroundings.
âCrap! Is he even a human?!â
âArenât Thundering Flashâs four strikes supposed to move in the same direction?â
âIs this a joke?! Thundering Flash can actually be used like this?!â
As the thousands of players at the checkpoint watched the fight, their jaws hit the ground as Shi Feng slew three of Beast Emperorâs subordinates, who had been fairly spread out, with Thundering Flash.
Although Thundering Flash was a rare Skill, some players had managed to learn it. It was undoubtedly one of the strongest AOE Skills for Swordsmen during the early stages of the game, so quite a few players were familiar with the Skillâs details.
Yet, Shi Feng had just defied the Skillâs limitations, using it as four separate Skills instead of one. Moreover, all of his attacks had accurately struck his targets. This was simply unbelievableâŠ
What these players didnât know was that Shi Feng had long since mastered his control over his Skills.
Since he had reached the Void Realm, he had a perfect grasp of his enemiesâ movements. Then, he used his arm and wrist to alter the lightning strikesâ trajectory as they left the tip of his sword. Normally, it should be impossible to alter the lightning strikesâ direction as the intervals between each strikeâs launch were extremely short, but by using his understanding of the Realms of Truth, he could make the impossible possible.
Of course, the biggest reason he was able to pull off such a feat had to be Killing Rayâs frightening Attack Speed. Otherwise, the most heâd be able to do was manipulate the trajectory of three of the four lightning strikes. Although he might be able to alter the last strikeâs trajectory, it wouldnât be very accurate.
Some of the Refinement Realm experts present were utterly captivated by Shi Fengâs technique.
They realized what Shi Feng had just accomplished, albeit barely. However, although they knew the principle behind the technique Shi Feng had used, they also understood how nearly impossible the technique was to execute.
After watching Shi Feng execute four more of their companions with so little effort, Beast Emperorâs remaining four subordinates were utterly terror-stricken as they stared at this Swordsman.
Although they had already known Shi Feng was powerful, they hadnât thought that he was
powerful. Shi Fengâs strength was beyond their comprehension. This Swordsman from Zero Wing could slaughter them without trouble even if he had the same Basic Attributes as they did.
As the four were about to fall to their despair, however, the Evil Demons finally arrived.
Seeing that their demonic reinforcements were only 40 yards away, the four survivors breathed a deep sigh of relief. A little confidence turned to their gazes as they looked back at Shi Feng.
They had reacted in such a way because, among the Evil Demons rushing to their aid, one was a Level 80 Mythic Evil Demon.
âBlack Flame, letâs see how arrogant youâll be now!â the Elementalist, who had sealed himself in a coffin of ice, revealed a gleeful expression.
Suddenly, the five-meter-tall Mythic Evil Demon pounced at Shi Feng and swung its right claw, which was shrouded in dark-gray fog, at Shi Fengâs head, tearing space as the claw passed.
Glancing at the approaching Mythic Evil Demon, Shi Feng activated Heavenly Dragonâs Power, his Strength, Agility, Defense, and HP skyrocketing.
Shi Feng then countered the incoming claw with a slash from Killing Ray.
Killing Ray released a golden glow as it moved towards the Evil Demonâs claw.
The Sacred Sword sliced the space before it like a piece of paper, a pitch-black tear appearing before Shi Feng. As this tear continued to extend away from its creator before a massive lightning bolt shot through it. In an instant, this lightning bolt stretched 80 yards away from Shi Feng.

Before anyone had realized it, Killing Ray had met the Mythic Evil Demonâs claw.
Following the sound of an explosion, an intense shockwave shook its surroundings as it spread out from its epicenter. Even the players standing over 100 yards away felt the shockwaveâs severity.
To everyoneâs surprise, the Mythic ranked Evil Demon actually took three steps back. Its right claw sported a deep cut, so deep that the Evil Demonâs bone was exposedâŠ
