Chapter 1262: Huo Wu's Sword

"Blocked it?"

Evil Ghost and the others in the distance were momentarily stunned by what they were seeing.

Blocking all of their attacks was one thing, but to also block Uncle Li's Shadow Kill—that was truly shocking.

Thunder God's Swiftness was difficult to counter even for experts who had mastered a Domain. Its attacks were not only incredibly fast but also impossible to track—one simply couldn't react quickly enough to avoid being hit.

Across the entire Sacred Magic Hall, those who could withstand Thunder God's Swiftness could be counted on one hand, and that was only when they were in peak mental condition. Yet now an assassin who had appeared out of nowhere had done it with ease.

How could they not be shocked?

"Who the hell are these people?" Scorpion, watching from afar, had his mouth hanging open.

Having someone like Shi Feng suddenly appear in the Sea of Demise was one thing, but now another expert capable of blocking Uncle Li's attacks had shown up too. No one would believe they didn't have a major power backing them—experts of this caliber were rare even among super guilds.

At that moment, Huo Wu stared fixedly at Uncle Li before her, her concentration sharper than it had ever been. Her instincts were screaming that with this expert in front of her, a single lapse in attention would cost her life.

If not for the concealment effect of Thousand Changes, that strike would have definitely landed.

"Interesting." Though Uncle Li was somewhat surprised that Huo Wu had managed to block his attack, his resolve to kill Shi Feng hadn't wavered in the slightest.

He immediately activated Shadow Step, appearing directly behind Shi Feng, and thrust both daggers toward Shi Feng's heart.

This time, because he hadn't used a skill, both daggers attacked simultaneously—unlike the previous Shadow Kill, which was only a single strike. The difficulty of blocking had effectively doubled.

"Damn it!" Though Huo Wu knew Uncle Li had used Shadow Step, her reaction was still half a beat too slow.

She used Substitution to appear behind Shi Feng immediately, but the two daggers were already right there—even with her superior stats and speed, it was too late.

With no other choice, Huo Wu twisted the dagger in her left hand and swung it forward, activating the skill Petrifying Sting.

Petrification Domain!

All enemies within a fifty-yard radius would receive five hundred percent weapon damage, their speed reduced by fifty percent, while she herself would gain stat boosts based on the wounded targets.

Facing this move, Uncle Li seemed fully prepared. He immediately activated Gale Step, using the brief invincibility frames to negate the Petrification Domain's damage, while both of his daggers stabbed into Shi Feng.

-2718!

-2259!

For Shi Feng, who still had over fifty thousand HP, this was merely a tenth of his health.

"Killing him with basic attacks really is too difficult." Uncle Li raised an eyebrow slightly, frustrated by Shi Feng's defense and HP.

Just as Uncle Li was about to unleash his accumulated Five-Star Eviscerate on Shi Feng, the faster Huo Wu swung her sword at him.

This seemingly ordinary sword swing was something Uncle Li had long anticipated. Not wanting to waste a skill, he shifted his footwork, sidestepped, and tried to dodge the blade.

But the moment Huo Wu completed her swing, Uncle Li's expression changed drastically.

Countless sword lights had appeared in the space around Thousand Changes.

"How is this possible?!"

Uncle Li was startled, but as a Domain master with Thunder God's Swiftness, he brought both daggers up to block.

Clang!
