"Is it over already?" Bai Ye watched the fleeing members of Xia Tianqi's fleet, a trace of disappointment in his eyes.
He had originally hoped to learn more about Shi Feng through Xia Tianqi and the others.
But the result turned out to be the opposite of what he'd wanted — it only made Shi Feng seem even more unfathomable.
"Your prediction was spot-on, Bai Ye. It's a good thing we didn't stick our noses in, or we would've taken some serious losses." The masked woman stared at the departing Shi Feng in astonishment.
A single person.
He had not only killed off more than half of Xia Tianqi's forces, but also cost them a small sailboat.
That level of combat power would be hard to find even within the Holy Temple — especially the way he'd handled that blood-red arrow. His timing and skill execution had been absolutely perfect, using a skill to precisely strike the incoming arrow in mid-flight. One tiny miscalculation, and his life would've been over.
"Could he be... a Domain master?" The masked woman suddenly considered this possibility, and her whole body trembled.
Domain masters were absolute top-tier figures within the Holy Temple. Every time one emerged, the guild would celebrate for an entire day — that showed just how highly they were valued.
They were also terrifyingly powerful, because she had once fought a Domain master herself.
With identical attributes and levels, it hadn't even been a contest — just a one-sided beatdown. She couldn't even scratch her opponent, only being ground down bit by bit.
For Shi Feng to accurately track such a fast arrow was already impressive enough, let alone using a skill to attack it. Without an extremely powerful perception and understanding of space, that would have been utterly impossible.
After all, she herself was a prodigy of the Holy Temple who had entered the Realm of Emptiness. Though she hadn't been in the Realm of Emptiness for long, she knew from her own experience that using a skill to strike a distant blood-red arrow was absolutely impossible.
"A Domain master?"
Bai Ye fell into deep thought, his gaze a complicated mix of relief and frustration.
If Shi Feng truly was a Domain master, then killing him was completely out of the question. After all, it was already clear from the previous battle that his base stats were monstrous — opponents of the same level couldn't beat him, let alone those whose stats were lower?
There were very limited ways to deal with Domain masters. Currently, there were only two methods. The first was a swarm kill — using sheer numbers to compensate for the quality gap. But that required special conditions, such as the target being unable to flee.
The second was to use a special item to catch them off guard. But using special items also required meeting certain conditions.
That was why every major superpower found Domain masters so troublesome.
Their strength was beyond question, and they were too difficult to kill, so the great superpowers never deliberately provoked Domain masters — they always tried to win them over instead.
"Bai Ye, should I use that?" The masked woman understood his concerns and couldn't help but make a suggestion.
Their mission had the full backing of the Holy Temple, which meant they'd received considerable assistance — not just elite fighters, but also extremely powerful special items. This was the source of their confidence in securing the legacy.
"Forget it. Even if they make it onto the island, they won't claim the legacy that easily." Bai Ye sighed. "Let's take out the Demon Whale first."
...
On the Legacy Island, Shi Feng and his group sat on the beach to rest.
After the battle with the Demon Whale and the fight against Xia Tianqi, their condition was as bad as it could possibly get. The Legacy Island was extraordinarily dangerous, so they naturally needed to recover before searching for the legacy.
"This time's haul was actually pretty impressive." Shi Feng gazed at a crystal vial in his inventory, feeling indescribable joy.
That crystal vial contained the small sailboat.
Though it was only a common-grade small sailboat, its value far surpassed even epic-tier items.
