When Troubled Times died, silence blanketed Demon City again as everyone stared at Shi Feng hovering in the air.
âHe killed him, just like that?â
The cityâs independent players had never thought Shi Feng would dare attack a player in the middle of Demonâs Heartâs Residence, yet he had done so without the slightest hesitation. He acted as if the Dark Guildâs members were nothing of consequence.
âHeâs done it?â
Blue Frost and the other Zero Wing members from the Dark Den, who had watched the scene play out through a Magic Mirror, were especially dumbfounded.
They had never imagined that Shi Feng would successfully kill Troubled Times!
Moreover, their Guild Leader had done so as Demonâs Heartâs members watched. Blue Frost and his comrades felt as if they were dreaming.
They wouldâve already been amazed if they managed to sneak into Demon City and assassinate Troubled Times, but Shi Feng had boldly and openly slain his preyâŚ
While Zero Wingâs Dark Den members were stunned, Furious Heart, who stood within Demonâs Heartâs Residence, shot Shi Feng a furious look, his rage burning clear in his eyes.
âBlack Flame! You and your entire Guild are dead! Not even our Guild Leader will let you get away with killing someone in our Residence, let alone Vice Guild Leader Flaming Light!â Furious Heart bellowed. He hadnât actually expected Shi Feng to attack Troubled Times without a second thought. The attack had been so sudden that he hadnât even had the time to try to save the Berserker.
A Guild Residence was a Guildâs most treasured location.
If word spread that Demonâs Heart couldnât even protect a single player within its Residence, the Dark Guildâs reputation would suffer.
âIs that so?â Shi Feng asked, indifferently glancing down at Furious Heart. âFeel free to test us. Zero Wing is ready for whatever you can throw our way. If you have nothing else to say, Iâll be taking my leave.â
Every player in the Residence went into an uproar after hearing Shi Fengâs blatant disregard for their Guild.
âCrap! This bastard is too arrogant!â
âElder Heart, letâs attack him together! I refuse to believe that we canât end his miserable life!â
The Guild Elders in the Residence were incensed, and they tried to persuade Furious Heart to move against the Swordsman as a unit.
Troubled Timesâ death was humiliating for Demonâs Heart, and if they allowed Shi Feng to leave safely, nothing would remain of the Guildâs reputation.
âNo! Let him go!â Furious Heart growled through gritted teeth, gesturing for the Guild Elders to back away.
When Shi Feng realized that none of the Dark Guildâs members intended to strike, he turned and flew away from the Residence and Demon City.
âAre you just going to let him go, Heart?â the black-clad Viscount Elder demanded as he watched Shi Feng fly off.
âDo you really think that I donât want to take his life right this instant?â Furious Heart hissed, glaring at the black-clad Elder. âRather, do you think that anyone of you is strong enough to kill him?â
Rebellious Thunder was the strongest player in Demon City right now, but if Shi Feng could even slay Rebellious Thunder, what could they, who hadnât even reached Demon Count rank, possibly achieve by fighting that Swordsman?
âDonât we have the Demon Guards? I refuse to believe that he can survive a battle against over a dozen Tier 4 Demon Guards!â the black-clad Elder argued.
The Demon Guards in question werenât like the Demon NPCs that had surrounded and subsequently fled from Shi Feng. Demonâs Heart didnât have any control over the cityâs NPCs, but its Demon Guards were a different story. If they paid the appropriate price, their Demon Guards would do everything in their power to take Shi Feng down.
The black-clad Elder had also estimated that Shi Feng could only control one Demon NPC with whatever means allowed him to do so. Controlling multiple Tier 4 Demons should be impossible.
If they sent over a dozen Tier 4 Demon Guards to surround Shi Feng, he wouldnât stand a chance, even with the Demon Guard Captain on his side. Ending the Swordsman within Demon City was entirely possible.
âDo you assume that I havenât thought of that?â Furious Heart shot back, rolling his eyes at the Elder. Grimly, he continued, âI considered mobilizing the Demon Guards the moment Black Flame arrived above the Residence, but when he did, the Demon Guardsâ Basic Attributes fell by 30%. They wouldnât even be able to deal with Black Flame in such a state, much less the Demon Guard Captain under his control.â
Shi Feng was already as powerful as a Tier 4 being, which he had proven in the fight against Rebellious Thunder when they had clashed as equals. With 30% less Basic Attributes, the Demon Guards had no chance against Shi Feng.
Shi Feng was a Domain Realm expert. Sending a bunch of dumb monsters with inferior Attributes to take him out would be nothing more than a joke.
âBut itâs so frustrating watching him go unscathed!â the black-clad Elder hissed, gnashing his teeth as he watched Shi Fengâs figure move farther away.
Demonâs Heart had gone to great lengths to earn the prestige it had enjoyed in Demon City only minutes ago. Now that Shi Feng had dealt such a severe blow, restoring their reputation would take ages if they simply allowed him to leave.
âSo what if he leaves? Iâve already notified the Guild Leader and Vice Guild Leader Light! Black Flame wonât enjoy this victory for long!â Furious Heart said, his eyes narrowing as he glared at Shi Fengâs departing figure.
At the moment, Demonâs Heart was indeed helpless before Shi Feng, but once the Guild Leader and Vice Guild Leader Flaming Light returned, it would be a different story. Those two individuals were the Guildâs true pillars of strength.
Even the Ten Saints Empireâs various superpowers feared those two playersâ strength and the foundation theyâd created for the Dark Guild, going as far as to form alliances in secret with Demonâs Heart.
Since Shi Feng had shredded Demonâs Heartâs reputation, the Guild Leader and Vice Guild Leader wouldnât rest until the matter was settled.
While Shi Feng flew away from Demonâs Heartâs Residence, another commotion broke out among the cityâs residents. âWhat?! Demonâs Heart actually let him get away?â
âWerenât there quite a few Tier 4 Demon Guards stationed in Demonâs Heartâs Residence? Why didnât the Guild mobilize them?â
âIs he even human?â
Shi Fengâs safe departure from the Dark Guildâs Residence stunned Demon Cityâs players. None of them had expected the invasion to end like this.

Demonâs Heart was one of the top dark powers in Godâs Domain, yet not only had Shi Feng single-handedly broken into Demon City, Demonâs Heartâs main headquarters, but he had also slain Troubled Times within the Guildâs Residence. To top it all off, Shi Feng had flown away from the Residence unharmed.
No one would believe this story if they told it.
And yet, they had all watched it happen. Even more astonishing, Demonâs Heart had remained silent during the entire process. Not one of the Guildâs members had tried to attack Shi Feng.
They were all Demon players, absolute Dark Players. Starting a fight with someone over the slightest offense was normal for them, especially for Demonâs Heartâs members. However, even the Dark Guildâs members seemed afraid of a single human player. It was unbelievable!
While Shi Feng departed from Demon City, news of the encounter spread like wildfire throughout the Ten Saints EmpireâŚ
