"Guild Leader?!"
"The guild leader was taken out…"
"Is she a monster?"
Watching Black Shark dissolve into white light and fade away, the entire Dark Hunter adventure team stood frozen on the spot. Some even forgot to attack and were struck down directly by members of Zero Wing and Indomitable War Spirit.
"How could the Guild Leader lose?" Gu Deng Du Zhang stared unblinkingly at the slain Black Shark, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.
Guild Leader Black Shark's strength had long since been etched into everyone's minds.
With superb skill and currently the best equipment available, he could come and go freely even when facing those old monsters from the super guilds.
If Guild Leader Black Shark had been ganged up on by a group of Tier 2 experts and killed, he could have barely accepted that. But to be taken out by a single player—and a player who wasn't some monster-level expert who had been famous for years—was simply impossible to accept.
"How can she be this strong?" Bu Mie Zhan Xin gazed at the graceful figure standing proudly in the distance, momentarily at a loss for words, feeling both astonishment and envy.
The name Bai Qingxue was not unfamiliar to him. After all, she had once been the guild master of a first-rate guild. Although it had been disbanded overnight due to the Black Water Consortium, Bai Qingxue's talent and ability were plain for all to see.
So after the Snake of the Body dissolved, their Indomitable War Spirit had also extended an invitation to Bai Qingxue. And it wasn't just Indomitable War Spirit—at least three superpowers had invited her, as far as he knew.
However, Bai Qingxue had ultimately chosen the then-unknown Zero Wing Guild, and they had lamented that decision at the time.
During their previous dungeon encounter, he had seen that Bai Qingxue's potential was extremely high, and she would certainly become a renowned expert in the Divine Realm. But her combat level was still far too rough—she relied entirely on stat advantages to fight those top-tier experts from the superpowers.
He hadn't expected that simply by switching weapons, Bai Qingxue would reach a level where she could fight experts of his caliber. Moreover, with that terrifying skill, she had forcibly killed the infamous Black Shark of the Dark Night Empire's dark forces.
Still, he could understand and even sympathize with Black Shark. Even if it had been him in that position, the result would likely have been the same.
An explosive-type killing move that could be used repeatedly within a short window—that had nothing to do with technique anymore. It was simply one-sided brutal slaughter. Even an assassin with the most survival skills wouldn't be able to weather it, let alone a ranger whose survival capabilities were a step below.
If anyone was to blame, it was Black Shark for choosing such a terrible moment to launch his encirclement—right when Zero Wing had cleared the Eclipse Throne, upgrading the team's equipment and dramatically boosting their combat power.
"What incredible power—what kind of weapon is that?" Feng Qianyu clicked her tongue softly at the Will of Radiance in Bai Qingxue's hand.
She had known the weapon obtained from the Magic Crystal chest was extraordinary, but she hadn't expected it to be this powerful. It practically elevated a player's combat strength by an entire tier. In terms of pure PvP, it was probably a full tier higher.
And on the battlefield, apart from Bai Qingxue, the second most dazzling figure was Ke Le.
Clad in the full Dark Erosion set, his entire body radiated scorching heat. In combat, this aura intensified further, and any player who approached could feel stinging pain on their skin, causing them to lose focus. Players with insufficient fire resistance could even take HP damage.
Facing multiple Tier 2 melee combatants, a single charge sent several of them staggering back. Against Tier 2 fire magic, even a direct hit only dealt about two thousand points of damage—let alone Tier 1 fire magic, which dealt less than a thousand. For Ke Le, whose HP exceeded eighty-five thousand, it was barely a tickle.
Just like that, relying on his own strength alone, he tore a gaping hole in the Dark Hunter's defensive line. The effects of the Dark Erosion set had far exceeded her expectations.
After a brief silence on the battlefield, the Dark Hunter members recovered from their shock. But instead of scattering as most teams would, they stared fixedly at Bai Qingxue, their eyes brimming with naked greed.
"The only reason she killed the Guild Leader is because her combat skill is mediocre—her equipment must be incredible!"
"That sword of hers looks amazing! It's definitely no ordinary weapon."
