"So fast!"
Everyone aboard the sloop stared intently at
Shi Feng was all by himself, and his HP had dropped to less than a quarter. For anyone present, finishing him off should have been a simple matter of two or three moves. Yet somehow, looking at Shi Feng, they all had the inexplicable illusion that they were the ones at a disadvantage.
But Shi Feng had no intention of giving them time to react. He took a step forward and charged straight at his next target.
"All of you, attack! Don't let him leave alive!" Xia Tianqi shouted with a grave expression as he watched Shi Feng charge.
"Tianqi, if everyone attacks, what about Jun Wuchang and his people?" Tian Zhu asked, glancing at Jun Wuchang's group, who were already locked in a bitter struggle.
"Jun Wuchang and the others don't matter anymore. Taking out this kid is what's important right now." Xia Tianqi shot Tian Zhu a look. Jun Wuchang was nothing more than fish on a chopping board at this point, but Shi Feng was different. With such terrifying combat power, if they didn't stop him quickly, he would only cause even more damage to the team.
Immediately, under Xia Tianqi's orders, everyone launched their attacks at Shi Feng, leaving only a small number to keep Jun Wuchang's group in check.
Xia Tianqi's plan was sound. On the narrow deck, with over a hundred people attacking simultaneously, even a top-tier expert would find it nearly impossible to dodge everything—let alone with plenty of melee fighters seizing the opportunity to strike at blind spots. Even an assassin with exceptional survivability would be slowly ground to death.
But Shi Feng was different. With the speed boost from Wind Riding, ranged fighters could barely track his movements. And his range of motion wasn't limited to the deck—he could soar through the sky at will. In attacks that seemed utterly unavoidable, a sudden mid-air change of direction or an abrupt halt was enough to deflect them easily.
Meanwhile, fighting aboard the small sloop actually gave Shi Feng a considerable advantage. In the tight space, he didn't need to run around chasing enemies—one step was all it took to appear in front of any player.
Shi Feng moved with sword in hand, every strike clean and decisive. With each swing, another person fell.
Even Shield Warriors with over thirty-five thousand HP were no exception.
The level gap was already significant, but after activating Heavenly Dragon Power, Shi Feng's Strength attribute surged by 150%. Combined with the passive effect of the Tyrant's Bracers—Blood Frenzy—which boosted Strength by 20% and attack speed by 30% when the wearer's HP fell below 50% (at the cost of taking 20% more damage), even the toughest, highest-HP Shield Warriors were instantly killed if they didn't activate their life-saving Shield Wall in time.
In just over ten seconds, Shi Feng had killed eleven people in a row, and his HP hadn't decreased—it was actually increasing...
Heavenly Dragon Power quintupled his HP and boosted his defense by 300%, giving Shi Feng over two hundred and ten thousand HP. With combat recovery restoring 1% every five seconds, he was regaining over twenty-one hundred HP per tick. Ordinary arrows that hit him only dealt around four hundred damage, and ice arrows or small fireballs hit for even less—just two or three hundred damage each under his high magic resistance...
Over the course of those ten-plus seconds, such attacks had only connected with Shi Feng three times.
But those three hits had come at an extremely steep price—they had been bought with the lives of three Perfected-level experts from the Home of the Seas...
"How is this possible? He's received no healing at all, yet his HP isn't dropping—it's rising!" Xia Tianqi stared at Shi Feng as he cut through the fleet's members one after another, a chill crawling up his spine. "What kind of monster is he?"
Every member who had joined this secret realm expedition was undoubtedly an expert, yet in front of Shi Feng, they might as well have been nothing. One strike, one kill—and they couldn't even manage to chip away at his HP...
"This deal has turned into a massive loss. Yuan Chen, buy me some time—I'll finish him with a Void-Shattering Arrow!" The Ranger called Wildman whispered urgently to the Guardian Knight. "One second. I just need him to stay still for one second, and I can take him out!"
"One second?" Yuan Chen, the Guardian Knight, hesitated. Under normal circumstances, holding someone for even ten seconds wouldn't be a problem, but Shi Feng's combat power was too overwhelming. Even with his own burst skill activated, he couldn't be confident of locking Shi Feng down for a full second. "I'll... try."
Wildman didn't say anything more. He reached into his inventory and pulled out a sealed, blood-red arrow, then began to unseal it.
The Ranger class differed from others in that its damage came from two sources: the bow and personal attributes on one hand, and the arrows themselves on the other. A powerful arrow could multiply a Ranger's combat power several times over.
"I don't believe you can block this Void-Shattering Arrow again." After completing the unseal, Wildman smiled with confidence.
The Void-Shattering Arrow wasn't something he had crafted—it was an item he'd obtained from ancient ruins, the most powerful arrow he had ever seen. The mere act of unsealing it released a pressure comparable to a High-Tier Great Lord. Combined with the bow's amplification, it could grievously wound even a High-Tier Great Lord without any issue.
"Wildman, now!" The instant Shi Feng killed another companion, Yuan Chen lunged forward and wrapped his arms around Shi Feng. Even if Shi Feng used a skill like Restriction Release, it wouldn't help—he'd have to use raw strength to break free.
"Beautiful!" Wildman fired the Void-Shattering Arrow.
With a sharp whistle, the blood-red arrow tore through the air, and the space in its wake cracked apart inch by inch. Its power was no less than that of a Tier 4 skill.
