"Dead?"
"Weren't they supposed to be using equipment that only boosted their presence?"
The spectators stared at the Sword Demon and Black Water Guild's two top experts as they dissolved into streaks of starlight on the battlefield, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads in disbelief.
Just moments ago, the two sides had been trading blows back and forth, locked in a stalemate that would have taken a long while to resolve — yet in the very next second, this had happened…
This scene had exceeded everyone's expectations. Even Mu Cheng on the battlefield stood speechless for a long time.
Who was the Sword Demon?
His combat skill, even among the super guilds, was among the very top. To kill an expert of that caliber without mobilizing a large-scale encirclement or sending in multiple monster-level fighters from the guild was practically impossible.
That was precisely why the major superpowers had such a headache dealing with the Ghost Shadow Four Demons.
Yet Shi Feng had single-handedly slain the Sword Demon. That level of combat power was absolutely terrifying — by all logic, no player at this stage should have been capable of such a thing.
And aside from Shi Feng being such a monster, what shocked people even more was that Banxia Qingcheng and Jianying had suddenly transformed into monsters as well. Having two monster-level fighters in Zero Wing was already surprising enough, but now two more had appeared. With that kind of strength, Zero Wing was no ordinary superpower.
"What a Zero Wing Guild! They've been hiding this kind of power all along — no wonder they never cared about the threats from Star Ring and Black Water." Old Blind Man gazed at Shi Feng not far away, as though seeing him for the first time.
A single monster-level fighter was enough to command the respect of any superpower. Four monster-level fighters appearing at once — even for a force like Return of the King, they could not afford to ignore such power.
Only now did he understand why Lei Yuan had backed Zero Wing so firmly, even at the risk of offending Star Ring and Black Water.
After all, Zero Wing was merely a first-rate guild at this point, controlling very few resources — hardly conducive to the growth of top-tier experts. And yet even now, Zero Wing already possessed four monster-level fighters. Once the guild truly developed into a top-tier superpower, its strength would be unimaginable. It would likely vault straight into the ranks of the most elite superpowers, much like the current Divine Miracle, which even the major superpowers had to treat with caution.
After all, Divine Miracle currently occupied two empires, spread across two continents, fighting on two fronts — a level of power that even Return of the King could not match.
Lei Yuan, watching from the sidelines, was thrilled beyond measure.
"This gamble really paid off!" Lei Yuan's gaze fell on Banxia Qingcheng and Jianying in the distance, his eyes lighting up with undisguised excitement.
He had originally believed Zero Wing possessed only two monster-level fighters. Never had he expected four. Their strength far exceeded even the Forest Pavilion's most optimistic projections.
For ordinary large factions, a monster-level expert was nothing more than an impressive display of combat power — they simply thought these fighters were inhumanly strong. But the truth ran deeper than that.
For the major superpowers, monster-level experts were not merely enormous threats — they were also the key to obtaining rare and powerful items. According to the investigations carried out by the various superpowers into the Divine Realm, many of the most extraordinary and potent artifacts required not only a player's luck, but more importantly, the personal strength to actually seize them.
