As Qi Su collapsed to the ground with his life extinguished, everyone from the three great adventure teams was completely stunned.
"That monster?" Wind's Regret couldn't help but furrow his brows.
A Demon Viscount who had managed to stand among the pinnacle fighters of
Moreover, even after seeing that the three great adventure teams had arrived, Qi Su had still urged them to flee immediately. That meant that in Qi Su's mind, even the three adventure teams combined were likely no match for that monster.
That was merely Qi Su's personal assessment, but they knew full well what kind of combat strength the man possessed. As a Demon Viscount, he was among the top-tier fighters in
Yet Qi Su was still dead.
"The opponent doesn't seem as simple as we thought. What do you two think?" Wind's Regret couldn't help but turn to Fire Feather Flutter and Naihe Yixiao.
A fighter powerful enough to fill even Qi Su with terror — if they actually engaged in battle, the outcome would almost certainly not be as optimistic as they had previously assumed.
"No wonder the Heart of Demons posted such a high bounty." Naihe Yixiao glanced at Qi Su's prone body and said slowly. "But it's not like we've never faced monster-level fighters before. If the three great adventure teams fled without a fight, we'd become the laughingstock of
As for Qi Su's final words, he took them seriously enough. But on the basis of one man's account alone, they would simply turn tail and leave? That was out of the question.
"Exactly. Even if the enemy is strong, does that mean we're easy pickings now?" Fire Feather Flutter nodded, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "Don't forget — this is our home turf. Even a monster won't walk away from this unscathed!"
Monster-level fighters were indeed terrifying — not something an ordinary party of Tier 3 experts could hope to contend with.
But they had seen their share of monster-level fighters before. Back in the day, the
Yet even those monster-level fighters had ultimately been defeated in the
Their current strength had grown by leaps and bounds since then. She was confident she could stand against those same monsters now — and even defeat them, let alone with the three great adventure teams fighting side by side.
Everyone from the three adventure teams present felt the same way.
If it had been just one of their teams facing an intruder, the outcome might have been uncertain. But with all three teams united, even the superpowers of the Ten Sacred Empire wouldn't dare provoke them, let alone a single group of a little over three hundred players.
But no sooner had Fire Feather Flutter finished speaking than a figure of grace silently appeared beside Qi Su's body. She walked up to him with unhurried composure, picking up the items he had dropped, as though the three adventure teams assembled around her simply did not exist. She carried herself with an almost infuriating ease.
"An incredible concealment technique!" Wind's Regret stared at the woman who had materialized out of nowhere, a flicker of shock in his eyes.
Demons possessed extremely sharp life-force perception against non-Demon races. Even when an assassin entered stealth, the extent to which that perception could be dulled was quite limited. At a distance of less than a hundred yards, he hadn't felt even a hint of her presence. Her concealment was so refined that no one in all of
"Is she the monster Qi Su was talking about?" Naihe Yixiao gazed at the stunningly curvaceous woman in the distance, his expression turning grave.
Just that single feat of approaching completely undetected — had they encountered her under normal circumstances, it would have been a one-in-ten chance of survival.
He was beginning to understand why Qi Su hadn't been able to get away.
"How interesting! I think I'll take her on myself!"
Fire Feather Flutter's fighting spirit surged to its peak as she fixed her gaze on the revealed Huo Wu. She activated her Demon Transformation, then drew the massive axe strapped to her back and charged straight in.
As the only player among the three great adventure teams to have reached the rank of Three-Star Viscount, her physical stats after activating Demon Transformation were not only drastically enhanced but her fundamental attributes had undergone a qualitative transformation. She moved like a human-shaped dragon, every step and every swing powerful enough to shake heaven and earth — utterly incomparable to any ordinary Demon Viscount.
With just a single Tier 2 Demon Charge, the ground in her wake erupted into a sea of fire, and the very space around her trembled faintly.
"Another group here for a hunt?" After snatching up a dagger that had dropped from Qi Su's body, Huo Wu drew the short sword from her waist at a leisurely pace and moved to meet the charging Fire Feather Flutter. "Then you can just disappear along with them!"
She swung the
Tier 3 Inherited Skill — Shadow Triple Flash!
Three streaks of black light lanced forward one after another like meteors, hurtling toward the oncoming Fire Feather Flutter at speeds so fast they resembled lightning, leaving no room to react.
But Fire Feather Flutter was no ordinary fighter. Her physical body after transforming into a demon was far beyond that of an average Tier 3 player. Halfway through her charge, she abruptly shifted her stance, whirling the two massive axes in her hands like twin windmills to intercept the incoming black light.
Tier 3 Demon Skill — Demon
Boom, boom, boom!
A series of deafening explosions echoed throughout the entire forest. The terrifying shockwaves blasted the surrounding trees into the ground, sending clouds of dust billowing skyward.
Through the settling dust, one could just make out that Fire Feather Flutter had been forced back three full steps. Over fifty thousand points of damage rose above her head. The gap in their raw power was immediately obvious.
"No way! Fire Feather lost the exchange even after entering Demon Transformation?" Naihe Yixiao stared in astonishment.
