Though Shi Feng's words were calm and measured, every player around him could sense the unwavering resolve and iron determination behind them.
"Madman! How can a guild master like this even exist?" Yan Xue stared at Shi Feng, feeling like he was about to lose his mind.
He couldn't even begin to fathom just how deep his grudge with Shi Feng ran.
That Shi Feng would be willing to sacrifice over a thousand of Zero Wing's elite fighters—all to take his life.
"Black Flame! This is your last chance! A Legendary NPC isn't something you can even begin to comprehend. Do you really think you can escape? If you die at his hands, do you think it'll be as simple as losing a level?" The Beast Emperor's expression darkened, a cold glint flickering in his eyes. "You'd best stop testing my patience. Otherwise, even if I have to burn through every last contribution point I have, I'll make sure you stay here!"
If it weren't for the Apostle of the Evil God position being invaluable to him—crucial for his future advancement—combined with the slim chance that Shi Feng might actually slip away, the Beast Emperor wouldn't have wasted a single word. He would have simply ordered the Evil Beasts and Demon army to charge forward and tear every member of Zero Wing to shreds, turning them all into sacrifices.
"Test your patience?" Shi Feng couldn't help but laugh. "Your Evil God Temple has attacked our Zero Wing towns multiple times and even specifically hunted down our members. Did you ever think about our patience? Now you want someone back? Don't you think it's a little late for that?"
As he spoke, Shi Feng brought his sword down, slashing Yan Xue into critical health, then activated his Mobile Prison and swept the fully restrained Yan Xue inside.
"You're asking for death!" The Beast Emperor's face contorted with rage at the sight of Yan Xue being absorbed into the Mobile Prison.
In an instant, the Demons and Evil Beasts surrounding the Ancient Divine Relic let out earth-shaking roars and surged toward it.
Over a hundred thousand Demons and Evil Beasts—just seeing them from within the Ancient Divine Relic was enough to make the higher-ups of every major faction grim-faced and tense. These weren't fodder; every single one was Level 60 or above. Elites and Special Elites were rare among them—the vast majority were all Leader-tier Demons and Evil Beasts.
And among them were eight Tier 4 Legends that could not be ignored in the slightest.
Such power would be more than enough to raze a small town, let alone fewer than two thousand Zero Wing members. A few waves would be enough to annihilate them completely.
As the army of Demons and Evil Beasts charged, the NPC elder hovering in the sky suddenly swept his staff forward, raising it toward the heavens. A dark gray pillar of light erupted skyward, piercing through the clouds.
When the dark gray pillar rose to about a hundred yards above the NPC elder, it expanded outward in all directions.
Faint dark gray ripples spread across the sky, turning the entire heavens a somber gray, as if the whole world had been enveloped in sinister energy.
"What's going on? I can't use my Town Portal Scroll!"
"That's not all—I can't even use my Teleport Scroll!"
"This NPC is too powerful. He's actually sealed off the entire area! Zero Wing is done for—they don't even have a chance to escape with a Town Portal Scroll!"
Members of various factions and adventuring parties inside the Ancient Divine Relic gazed at the NPC elder slowly descending from the sky, unable to hide their terror.
With their Town Portal Scrolls and long-range spatial movement abilities stripped away, escape meant fighting their way out on foot. But breaking through an army of over a hundred thousand Demons and Evil Beasts was virtually impossible.
And compared to Zero Wing's doom, they themselves were also trapped here—which meant their lives were no longer in their own hands. Everything now depended on the Beast Emperor's whim.
If the Beast Emperor wanted, he could keep every last one of them here.
"Sister Xuan Jing, what is Black Flame thinking? He only needed to let one person go, and he couldn't even give the Beast Emperor a shred of face. Those thousand-plus members of Zero Wing are finished." In the Holy Law Temple's team, a girl holding an emerald staff, with long, light blue slightly wavy hair and a pristine white silk mage robe that barely concealed her stunning figure, blinked her beautiful eyes and gazed with open curiosity at Shi Feng organizing the defensive formation in the distance.
