Aqua Rose and Seven Melody were momentarily stunned when they saw the cloaked Swordsman approaching their stall. They never thought the person who dared to speak out against Demonās Gate would actually be Shi Feng, the person they had encountered at the Golden Spire.
Meanwhile, White Ghost furrowed his brow as he cast a chilling glare at Shi Feng. Although White Ghost did not speak up, almost everyone present could also sense his surging anger as the atmosphere that had briefly relaxed became incredibly tense once more.
Meanwhile, upon sensing White Ghostās anger, the surrounding players quickly distanced themselves from him, afraid they would get dragged into the ensuing crossfire.
āThat guy must be crazy to stand out in this situation!ā
āIs he really going to challenge Demonās Gateās prestige?ā
The surrounding bystanders felt their hearts rising up their throats as they looked at Shi Feng. They also had no doubts that Shi Feng would become a corpse in just a moment.
āKid! It seems you have a lot of courage, huh, daring to interfere in Demonās Gateās matters,ā White Ghost said coldly as he looked at Shi Feng. āIs this your first day in Luminous Sky City?ā
It was common knowledge in the southern region that Demonās Gate was the regionās ruler. Not even the Holy Raceās various powers would dare to oppose it here.
Yet, someone was now openly challenging this established fact. This was a brazen act of provocation against Demonās Gateās reputation. It had already been a long while since he had encountered such a situation after his arrival in the Eternal Realm.
However, he did not mind letting everyone in the southern region learn of Demonās Gateās horrors once more!
As soon as White Ghost finished speaking, several of the Tier 6 experts around him promptly encircled Shi Feng, cutting off all his paths of retreat.
Meanwhile, when Aqua Rose and Seven Melody saw this development, they couldnāt help but grow concerned. They felt that Shi Feng was playing with fire by provoking Demonās Gate right now.
Although Luminous Sky City had NPC Guards patrolling all its streets, players werenāt guaranteed absolute safety. If Demonās Gate was determined to take action, even Frost Raven, the strongest of their trio, might not escape unscathed.
Demonās Gate was an apex power. Because of this, all of its experts capable of advancing to Tier 6 at this stage of the Eternal Realm would be fully equipped with Legendary Equipment and have learned Mana Purification Techniques. In terms of overall strength, they could rival Tier 6 Gods of the same level, and even the chosen ones of pseudo-apex powers would have to fight them seriously to ensure their victory.
While Aqua Rose and Seven Melody were mired in concern, Frost Raven suddenly spoke through the party chat, āIāll try to stop them later. Use this opportunity to run to the NPC Guards. So long as the NPC Guards are around, not even White Ghost will dare to try his luck.ā
āBe very careful, Big Sis Raven! White Ghost is no ordinary opponent!ā Seven Melody cautioned when she heard Frost Raven voicing her intention to help Shi Feng. Although she was confident in Frost Ravenās strength, White Ghostās notoriety was not unfounded.
Meanwhile, relying on their sixth sense, Demonās Gateās members noticed the gazes of Aqua Rose and Seven Melody veering toward the patrolling NPC Guards nearby and promptly realized their intentions. However, just as they were about to intercept the two, a light-blue longsword suddenly appeared in their way.
āStay.ā
Shi Fengās deep voice rang across the area again, stunning everyone in silence. No one had expected anyone to dare to stand against Demonās Gate, least of all a young Swordsman whose name was unknown in the southern region.
āAre you tired of living, punk?!ā
The four Demonās Gate members encircling Shi Feng bellowed. They never thought Shi Feng would dare to ignore them to such an extent. Immediately, they took a threatening step forward, trying to intimidate Shi Feng into backing away.
As for taking actual action, none of them had thought of doing so thus far. After all, they hadnāt received a verbal command from White Ghost to take action. If they recklessly attacked Shi Feng, they would instantly attract the NPC Guardsā attention and be regarded as enemies.
At the same time, one of the four Demonās Gate members, a Level 187, Tier 6 Assassin, suddenly used Soul Guidance, a Tier 6 Skill, on Shi Feng, casting a blue ray directly onto his soul. Should Soul Guidance be allowed to take effect, Shi Fengās location would become known to the Assassin throughout the Skillās duration; thereād be no hiding from Demonās Gate for him. Moreover, as Soul Guidance had no offensive properties, its use would not attract the NPC Guardsā attention.
However, before the blue ray could come into contact with Shi Feng, a sword light suddenly grazed the Tier 6 Assassinās neck. Then, the Assassin collapsed to the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut. An item even appeared next to the Assassinās lifeless bodyā¦
This scene immediately stunned everyone.
āHeās dead?ā
āWhat happened?ā
āHow did that Assassin from Demonās Gate die? Why didnāt he dodge that attack?ā
Despite the clear indication of the Tier 6 Assassinās depleted HP bar, many of the bystanders remained baffled as to what had just happened. The Tier 6 Assassin was evidently in the midst of activating Soul Guidance on Shi Feng, yet he had inexplicably died mid-action. To add to their confusion, Shi Feng had remained motionless throughout the entire encounter.
What did Guild Leader Black Flame do just now?Ā Seven Melody gaped in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at the corpse of the Demonās Gate Assassin.
What incredible reaction speed!Ā Frost Raven was indescribably shocked as she looked at Shi Feng, who looked like he hadnāt moved at all this entire time.
While the more discerning observers present might have noticed Shi Feng killing the Demonās Gate Assassin with a single sword strike, the reality of the situation was far more intricate.
Being one of the few players in Luminous Sky City equipped with multiple Fragmented Divine Artifacts and the owner of a unique Hidden Class, Frost Raven possessed five senses and Physique far superior to even Tier 6 Gods of the same level. Because of this, she managed to catch a glimpse of what actually happened.
In reality, Shi Feng had executed dozens of subtle alterations to his swordās trajectory during his seemingly straightforward attack. Meanwhile, overwhelmed by the rapid and unpredictable changes, the Demonās Gate Assassin ultimately succumbed to the final trajectory taken by Shi Fengās sword.
Aside from the onlooking crowd, Demonās Gateās members were similarly stunned by this situation. It was especially so for the three other Demonās Gate members encircling Shi Feng. They also couldnāt help but reveal grim expressions as they looked at Shi Feng.
If anyone else out of the four of them got killed, they might not have thought much of it. However, the Tier 6 Assassin who got killed was the most skilled out of them. If even the Tier 6 Assassin couldnāt survive an exchange with Shi Feng, how would they fare?
āWhat are you all worried about?!ā White Ghost suddenly shouted when he saw the anxious looks on his subordinates. āWe are inside Luminous Sky City. He initiated the attack! Heāll be the target of the NPC Guards!ā
At White Ghostās reminder, everyone from Demonās Gate promptly snapped out of their daze and encircled Shi Feng. Since Shi Feng was the aggressor in this situation, all they had to do was buy time until the NPC Guards arrived to deal with him.
āFriend, leave quickly! Youāll be in trouble if the NPC Guards arrive!ā Frost Raven hurriedly said to Shi Feng.
It was never a good idea to initiate an attack while inside NPC Towns and Cities. If captured by NPC Guards, especially inside a place like Luminous Sky City, one would suffer a miserable fate.
āItās too late to escape now!ā
The Demonās Gate members surrounding Shi Feng sneered and promptly took offensive maneuvers against him.
Previously, they were wary of attacking Shi Feng for fear of being targeted by the NPC Guards. But since Shi Feng had initiated an attack on one of their team members, they could now attack him without fear of retaliation from the NPC Guards, as their actions would be considered self-defense.
Immediately, three Tier 6 tanks closed in on Shi Feng with their shields raised, while two Tier 6 Mage Gods erected defensive screens to cover any gaps left by the tanks. They had no intention of giving Shi Feng any opportunities to escape.
āCan you defend against my attacks, though?ā
When Shi Feng saw the players closing in on him, he reacted by executing Swordās Orbit.
With his Strength being on par with Level 200, Tier 6 Gods, even Level 185-plus, Tier 6 tanks with their Lifesaving Skills activated could not survive more than two or three attacks from him. If he could directly hit their bodies, he could finish them even quicker.
Subsequently, with Shi Feng at the center, a resplendent galaxy of stars spread across the street.
Boom!
Suddenly, White Ghost, who had armed himself with his scythe at some point, was sent flying over a dozen yards through the air. Upon landing, he stumbled several steps before regaining his footing. Over a quarter of his HP bar had also disappeared. As for the nearly ten Demonās Gate members who surrounded Shi Feng, they all met an even worse fate, all of them dying on the spotā¦
How is this possible?Ā White Ghost couldnāt help but look at Shi Feng in disbelief.
It should be known that his weapon, Death Scythe, was a Fragmented Divine Artifact. With it equipped, he could achieve Strength nearing the standard of Ancient Gods of the same level. Furthermore, when he executed Stormscythe, a Gold Combat Technique that came as a set with the Death Scythe, he could exhibit power enough to knock even Tier 6 Gods of the same level into the air. Yet, when he clashed with Shi Fengās attack using Stormscythe, he was the one who got knocked into the air insteadā¦
This scene also dumbfounded the surviving members of Demonās Gate. After all, White Ghost, nicknamed the Death Scythe, was sent flying in a direct confrontation. Moreover, it was after he had used a Gold Combat Techniqueā¦
Has he already mastered the accompanying combat technique?Ā Shi Feng couldnāt help but be a little surprised as he looked at White Ghost.
Some Divine Artifacts in Godās Domain came with corresponding Gold Combat Techniques. These techniques existed to maximize the potential of their corresponding Divine Artifacts, and they were much more powerful than the average Gold Combat Technique. However, they were also much more difficult to master.
āYour Highness! The NPC Guards have arrived! That Swordsman is dead!ā
When the surviving Demonās Gate members saw some NPC Guards entering their sight, they immediately revealed cold smiles as they looked at Shi Feng.
Shi Fengās strength might have exceeded their expectations, but it was utterly useless against Luminous Sky Cityās Level 200-plus NPC Guards.
āThis is badā¦ā Seven Melody couldnāt help but grow worried when they saw the NPC Guards encircling Shi Feng.
However, just as Demonās Gateās members were waiting to see how Shi Feng would struggle in the hands of the NPC Guards, the Tier 6 Guard Captain suddenly walked up to Shi Feng and respectfully said, āGreetings, Count Shadowring. How may we be of service to you today?ā
