As the dust in the center of the battlefield completely settled, everyone from Aurora Shelter—who had originally expected Shi Feng and his group to be locked in a desperate struggle—now stood with blank stares, each one staring in disbelief at Zhutian Luanshi, who had been driven into the ground, as though the entire world had gone silent.
"Is he really a Tier 3 player?"
They had witnessed Zhutian Luanshi's power with their own eyes. In their minds, Zhutian Luanshi was no longer human, because he could transform into a demon. Humans and demons were entirely different beings, and on top of that, the level of demon bloodline Zhutian Luanshi possessed was no small thing.
The sheer pressure he radiated alone was several notches above that of high-level Great Lords of the same rank. Add to that his unfathomable combat skills, and killing a Tier 3 expert would be as easy as flipping his hand—he could even one-shot them. He absolutely could not be considered an ordinary Tier 3 player.
In their view, only those who had advanced to Tier 4 could hope to suppress a Tier 3 monster like Zhutian Luanshi.
Yet Shi Feng—this seemingly unremarkable Tier 3 player who radiated no visible pressure at all—had managed to overpower Zhutian Luanshi. It was as if the Main God System was playing a joke on them.
"He's actually that strong!?"
On the city wall, Zidian Luosha and Jun Ya stared at Zhutian Luanshi, who was embedded in the ground, and for a moment neither of them could snap back to their senses.
Although Huan Yu had previously said that Shi Feng was powerful—even going so far as to admit she herself was no match for him—neither of them had expected him to be this strong.
Knocking back over a dozen Tier 3 players who had transformed into demons with a single strike was one thing, but then he had torn through space with a single sword strike and critically wounded Zhutian Luanshi. The sheer power behind it was simply unheard of.
With just those feats alone, a hundred-man Tier 3 team would be nothing but a joke in front of Shi Feng.
After all, Zhutian Luanshi in his demon form already had inhuman stats. If it had been any other Tier 3 player, they would have already been dead under that single sword strike.
Which meant Shi Feng possessed the power to one-shot any Tier 3 player with a single blow. In front of him, Tier 3 players were no different from Tier 2 players—merely slightly larger ants.
Only now did they begin to understand why Huan Yu was so reverent toward Shi Feng, even declaring that he alone could change the entire outcome of the guard battle.
"He really has grown stronger again." Standing nearby, Huan Yu looked at Shi Feng standing tall before the members of Sentinel Shelter, and a bitter smile tugged at the corner of her lips.
After the battle on Dragon Heart Island, all the major superpowers had reached a consensus: Shi Feng was a peerless monster who should never be provoked.
However, as the major superpowers had continued to develop over the following period, bolstered by their deep reserves, she had thought they might have closed the gap at least a little.
She never expected that not only had the gap not shrunk—it had grown wider.
Earlier, when she had told Jun Ya and Zidian Luosha that she couldn't withstand three of Shi Feng's moves, that had actually been modest. In her own estimation, she could hold out for five or six moves without any problem. After all, she had already obtained a bloodline, and at the level of life she now possessed, she was far beyond ordinary Tier 3 players—let alone her base stats.
But now she realized she had been completely, utterly wrong.
A single sword strike that cleaved through space!
That was unquestionably the power of Tier 4. Combined with an attack range and speed that were simply impossible to dodge, without some kind of invincibility skill or magic, she wouldn't even be able to block a single hit.
Meanwhile, Qing Shuang and the other Zero Wing members at the center of the battlefield looked on with dazed expressions, as though they weren't even members of the Zero Wing guild at all.
"Qing Shuang, is that person really our guild's guild master?" A Level 108 Tier 3 Guardian Knight couldn't help but turn to Qing Shuang and ask.
As this Tier 3 Guardian Knight spoke up, several other Tier 3 members who had joined Zero Wing not long ago also turned to look at Qing Shuang.
The reason they had joined Zero Wing at the First Shelter was, besides the fact that the First Shelter was developing very well, primarily because of Qing Shuang's strength. As for her claim that the First Shelter was a branch of the major outside guild Zero Wing—they hadn't really taken that seriously.
