On the Golden Stream main street, at Tian Jing's command, the monster players and second-tier class experts he led charged toward the central square.
"
Tian Jing activated his burst mode the moment he closed to within fifty yards of Shi Feng. Surging mana疯狂 gathered around him, his powerful aura no less imposing than those Great Lord-ranked monster players. Wielding his staff, he unleashed his assault on the lone Shi Feng.
Instantly, small crimson magic circles materialized all around Shi Feng, completely sealing him in on all sides. From them, searing flame spears shot outward.
Second-tier Forbidden Spell — Raging Flame Spears!
This Forbidden Spell already possessed third-tier destructive power on its own, and with Tian Jing's special burst mode, its might was amplified even further. A single flame spear carried enough destructive force to rival a High Great Lord of the same level.
A full twenty-eight flame spears launched simultaneously from every direction. Even a second-tier MT who had activated both burst mode and a survival skill would be obliterated to ash.
Yet what happened next defied all expectations. Shi Feng deflected every last flame spear with casual flicks of his twin swords, all while remaining rooted in place, his feet not shifting a single step. It was as though every flame spear deliberately veered around him, grazing the edges of his coat before slamming into the ground.
The first assault having failed, Tian Jing immediately unleashed his second killing move — Second-tier Forbidden Spell, Fire Fang Assault.
Unlike the Raging Flame Spears, Fire Fang Assault produced far fewer projectiles — only five. But these five fire fangs were under Tian Jing's direct control, unlike the Raging Flame Spears, which home-targeted automatically and could not alter their trajectories mid-flight.
The five fire fangs whipped around Shi Feng at high speed, orbiting him in a ring, making it impossible to predict from what angle they would strike.
"Now!" Tian Jing seized the opening and swept his staff downward.
The five fire fangs executed multiple trajectory changes, each one aimed at a blind spot in Shi Feng's defense.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A rapid chain of explosions erupted — but there was no trace of triumph on Tian Jing's face. His painstakingly trained fire fangs, refined through countless hours of practice and even leading to his self-created basic combat technique, Five-Star Annihilation, had all been blocked by a sudden star river that shimmered into existence around Shi Feng.
All his prior effort had been utterly futile…
"Guild Leader Tian Jing, we're here to help!" Axe Shadow arrived with over a dozen monster players in tow.
"No! Hold on!" Tian Jing hastily called out, staring at Shi Feng, who hadn't suffered so much as a scratch.
Countless life-and-death battles in the Divine Realm had long since honed an extraordinary survival instinct in experts of his caliber — an almost preternatural sensitivity to death and danger. In the brief exchange they'd just had, he'd already realized that Shi Feng's true terror was nothing like the rumors suggested.
The fire fangs wielded the power of a High Great Lord of the same level, yet Shi Feng had used no skills whatsoever. He'd blocked them purely with his own strength, and that was something that absolutely could not be taken lightly. One moment of carelessness, and Shi Feng could kill him in an instant.
To match that kind of power, he would need at least a Great Lord-ranked monster player or one of the Starlight Alliance's top experts with burst mode active. Axe Shadow currently had only one Great Lord-ranked monster player at his side, and given how composed Shi Feng had been, the three of them together would likely accomplish nothing.
That was without even factoring in Shi Feng's own burst mode. To have any hope of dealing with him, they would need far more people.
