After Mo Shou was taken out, everyone stared in dumbfounded disbelief, unable to understand why Shi Feng would have two main bodies, attacking both Tian Ying and Mo Shou simultaneously.
Tian Ying's face turned ashen.
Without Mo Shou to serve as healer, and trapped in the anti-magic zone, if Shi Feng used a burst skill, killing him would be absurdly easy.
However, Tian Ying had no way of knowing that Shi Feng had already used a double burst earlier and was now in a weakened state, unable to activate any burst skills. Otherwise, he never would have played his trump card of the anti-magic zone, let alone used Phantom Kill to split up and take them out separately.
The main concern was that Tian Ying and Mo Shou might escape the anti-magic zone and activate their own burst skills — at that point, Shi Feng would have no choice but to flee for his life.
But Shi Feng didn't give Tian Ying much time to think. The blades in his hands spun, and he lunged at Tian Ying once more.
Flame Burst!
Although Mo Shou the healer had been eliminated, Shi Feng still couldn't afford to let his guard down against Tian Ying. If Tian Ying escaped the anti-magic zone, his situation would become extremely passive.
In an instant, the twin swords in Shi Feng's hands blazed with scorching radiance, slashing directly toward Tian Ying's face without any fancy technique — nothing but a straightforward, head-on attack.
Against a master like Tian Ying, who had no weaknesses to exploit, any technique-based attack could be easily deflected. Rather than waste enormous amounts of stamina and mental energy on powerful combat arts, it was far better to force Tian Ying into a direct contest of raw stamina and mental fortitude.
"You think killing me is going to be that easy?!"
Tian Ying roared, his footwork shifting backward as he swung the Demon-Severing Sword to deflect Shi Feng's attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Each collision of blades sent out a powerful shockwave. Even Ling Yin and the others, standing at a considerable distance, could clearly feel it. The ground beneath Tian Ying and Shi Feng cracked apart inch by inch, as if two humanoid titans were clashing — the very terrain was being reshaped.
In terms of base stats, Shi Feng was only marginally stronger than Tian Ying, whose attributes were suppressed by forty percent. Even if Tian Ying clashed head-on, he wouldn't take much damage — let alone suffer from having his attacks deflected. But the power augmentation from Flame Burst pushed the force of Shi Feng's strikes far beyond what Tian Ying could match.
The Demon-Severing Sword could sever magic, but it had little effect against skills that enhanced raw power.
With every deflected strike, Tian Ying was knocked back several steps. His health bar dropped by over seven hundred points each time. After fifteen consecutive sword strikes, Tian Ying had lost more than ten thousand HP, bringing him down to half health.
"That guy's incredible — with base stats that close, he's actually managing to suppress Tian Ying like this in a one-on-one fight? Even the other guild leaders couldn't pull that off," Man Qiang muttered, watching Tian Ying being pressured on all sides. "No wonder the boss always warns us to stay sharp when adventuring in the wild. If we ever ran into an expert who keeps their cards this close to their chest, we'd be in serious trouble."
Tian Ying's combat skill was already extraordinarily high, and the Demon-Severing Sword only made him more formidable. In close-quarters combat among the Seven Deadly Sins' seven guild leaders, he had never once been suppressed — typically, it was everyone else who ended up on the back foot.
Standing nearby, Ling Yin nodded slightly, but as she watched Shi Feng's figure, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
"Could he be... Feng Ye?" Ling Yin watched Shi Feng mid-battle, the thought surfacing in her mind.
She didn't believe that two unknown, monster-level experts would simultaneously appear at the World Summit. Moreover, the clone technique Shi Feng had used was exactly the same as when he'd fought the Purgatory Puppet before.
But that only made it harder for her to believe.
Every expert had areas of strength and weakness. Some top-tier players devoted themselves to studying how to fight monsters and excelled at it, displaying extraordinary prowess. Others preferred player-versus-player combat, where they could unleash even greater power than against monsters.
Shi Feng had demonstrated exceptional combat ability during his fight against the Purgatory Puppet, proving he had invested considerable effort in that area — something even she had to admit she couldn't match.
