The hundred-person battle formation's momentum soared toward the heavens. Even experts who had mastered Domain wouldn't dare clash head-on with its assault. But as the sword light swept through, azure arcs of lightning pierced the formation, and every member of charging Beast Legion froze in their tracks, rooted to the spot.
One by one, they stared in disbelief at Black Panther Tianxia dissolving in midair.
"How is this possible?"
At that moment, it wasn't just the people of Beast Legion who were stunned — even Sword Demon and the others watching from afar stood with their jaws agape.
Black Panther Tianxia was a member of Beast Legion, but everyone knew exactly how powerful he was. Not only was he decked out in top-tier level-75 equipment, he also carried Epic-grade gear and a shield. Under normal circumstances, he could go toe-to-toe with a Grand Lord of the same level without breaking a sweat, and his personal combat skill was absolutely top-notch.
With the battle formation's amplification, inside the formation he could rival a Tier 3 Class.
It had to be understood that a player rivaling Tier 3 was a completely different thing from a player controlling a Grand Lord-level monster. When a player controlled a Tier 3 creature, it wasn't their own body — they could only bring out a fraction of its combat power. But a player's own body could unleash one hundred percent of its strength, easily crushing Grand Lords of the same level.
And in the formation's tests, monsters that had mastered Domain had absolutely no ability to fight back against Black Panther Tianxia in his current state. Even if they could anticipate his attacks in advance, his reaction speed and attack speed left them no time to respond — all they could do was take the hits.
One careless moment and they'd be killed instantly.
Yet such an expert had been taken out in the blink of an eye. What truly left Sword Demon and the others dumbfounded wasn't the damage Shi Feng had dealt — some forbidden skills had enormous power, and one-shotting a player wasn't exactly hard. What truly shocked everyone was the speed of Shi Feng's strike.
That speed was so fast that even Black Panther Tianxia, who could rival a Tier 3 Class, hadn't been able to raise his defenses in time. How could they not be alarmed?
"How can his attack speed be this fast?" Sword Demon muttered, staring at Shi Feng with a head full of questions.
After all, Black Panther Tianxia was someone who could stand up to a Tier 3 Class. With the battle formation's boost, as the formation's core, his physique far exceeded theirs by a wide margin — otherwise he wouldn't have been able to rival Tier 3 in the first place.
But Shi Feng was merely a Tier 2 Class. Even if his base stats were extraordinarily high, they shouldn't be fast enough to keep up with a Tier 3–equivalent Black Panther Tianxia.
What Sword Demon and the others didn't know was that Shi Feng was currently level 90 — more than ten levels ahead of everyone else. The majority of his weapons and equipment were Epic-grade and Legendary fragments that scaled with the player's level.
On top of that, he possessed a special bloodline and the already-enhanced Holy Sword Thunderbreaker.
His base stats exceeded those of a level-80 Tier 3 Class, and even his physique was no weaker than a Tier 3's. The only area he fell short was that he couldn't use Tier 3 skills.
Perhaps Black Panther Tianxia could fight evenly with a Tier 3 Class of the same level, but that was all — fighting equally with a same-level Tier 3, and at the level of the Void Realm at that. He hadn't even grasped the Realm of Reason. How could he possibly compete with someone like Shi Feng, whose true combat power surpassed that of an actual level-80 Tier 3, who had mastered both Domain and the Realm of Reason?
Shi Feng's opening strike left the entire battlefield in shock. But in the rear, commanding Beast Legion, Jing Feng immediately issued a new order.
"Fast, but how many times can he use a skill like that? Everyone — converge on him!" Jing Feng shouted.
His original plan had been to use the battle formation's power to steamroll Zero Wing completely. But now that Shi Feng had displayed speed beyond what even a top-tier expert like Black Panther Tianxia could handle alone, the only option was to swarm him.
One person's power was ultimately limited.
There was an old saying — two fists couldn't fend off four hands. And the battle formation allowed everyone to share a portion of their perception, making their coordination something no ordinary expert could compare to.
In an instant, the previously scattered members of Beast Legion pooled their strength together, abandoning any thought of fighting independently.
