"How is this possible?"
Chenji Sanyue stared wide-eyed at the drop of Qianli Wuya's life value to zero.
That move was far too fast and sudden!
A magical array had been set up by the guard unit—against even a high-tier great overlord, it could hold them in place for a good while. Yet Shi Feng had not only shattered the magic barrier with a single sword strike, but had also killed Vice Guild Leader Qianli Wuya…
Among the great superpowers, the position of vice guild leader required not only formidable management skills but also overwhelming personal strength to earn the respect of the guild's members.
True, Qianli Wuya had been focused on chanting his spell, but even so, it should have been impossible for a ranged player's attack to land on him.
Yet Shi Feng had seized the brief moment of laxity when Qianli Wuya's guard unit deployed the array and brought his sword down without hesitation.
Many magical skills in the Divine Realm traveled at tremendous speed. By the time an expert noticed one headed their way, it was already too late to dodge—one had to predict the trajectory in advance.
Shi Feng's strike was silent and impossibly swift. Chenji Sanyue hadn't even seen him move, let alone the distracted Qianli Wuya.
The terrifying power and speed of the Thunder Light Slash caught the slightly off-guard Qianli Wuya completely off balance, and by the time he realized what was happening, it was far too late to evade.
The members of the Divine Record guild standing nearby were frozen on the spot.
Every one of them stared in disbelief at Qianli Wuya lying on the ground.
As the guild's vice leader, Qianli Wuya possessed exceptional strength, and the guild had furnished him with numerous precious items. Even a super guild would have found it extremely difficult—or outright impossible—to kill him. They hadn't even considered the possibility that he might fall against the Abyssal creatures they were currently facing, yet now he was dead.
And it wasn't at the hands of some great power, nor was it the result of being mobbed. He had been taken out by the leader of a guild that had only recently risen to prominence.
If word of this got out, it would shake the entire Divine Realm.
"Black Flame!" The guard captain, clad in silver-white armor, turned livid as he glared at Shi Feng nearby. "You dare kill the vice leader of our Divine Record guild? From this day forward, no matter how vast the Divine Realm may be, neither you nor your Zero Wing guild will find a place to call safe! Even the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion behind you won't be able to shield you!"
If Shi Feng's earlier ambush that had decimated their expert squad had stoked Divine Record's fury, then killing Qianli Wuya was a slap directly across the face of the entire guild.
When a faction of comparable standing did something like this, other powers wouldn't look down on Divine Record for it—it could be understood, and they would simply conclude that the superpower in question had grown even stronger. But when a weaker faction killed the vice leader who symbolized the guild's prestige, word would spread and become a laughingstock among all the major powers. They would say Divine Record waspathetic and had no business being ranked among the top-tier guilds.
If Divine Record didn't annihilate Zero Wing, they would have no standing left in the Divine Realm.
"That's none of your concern!" Shi Feng raised the Abyssal once more and swung at the guard unit.
Thousand Blade Flowing Light!
In an instant, countless streaks of sword light hurtled toward the guard unit, still reeling from the shock.
Though a portion of the guards reacted quickly and fled the range of the attack in time, over seventy percent of the unit was cut down by Thousand Blade Flowing Light, items scattering across the ground.
