As Shi Feng walked out of the shattered space step by step, the members of all four auxiliary teams fell utterly silent, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.
"He's okay?"
"He actually blocked it?"
Staring at the completely unscathed Shi Feng, it felt like a dream. Several Flowing Water Realm experts on the scene couldn't help rubbing their eyes again and again, double- and triple-checking what they were seeing.
That was the Elven Enchantress's arrow!
Rumor had it that the longbow in the Elven Enchantress's hands was a fragment of a legendary-grade item, and a single shot could effortlessly repel a legendary monster of the same tier.
Moreover, the arrows she fired were no ordinary ammunition either—they were forged entirely from precious Mana Jade Steel, inscribed with ancient magical runes. Even if a Tier 3 player fired one with a common longbow, a single arrow would be enough to go head-to-head with a legendary monster of the same level.
It was precisely because of this that the Elven Enchantress had earned her place among the Six Masters of the Fire Dragon.
"An arrow that fast—and he actually blocked it?"
"This Black Flame's strength is even greater than the rumors suggest. Looks like the talk outside about him being a peerless expert wasn't exaggerated at all."
Far away, the Tier 3 experts from the Seven Deadly Sins couldn't help but marvel at the scene before them.
They hadn't even been able to react to that arrow from such a great distance. If it had been fired from within several dozen yards, they didn't dare imagine what the result would have been.
"Blocked it?" Huo Tian heard the hushed discussions among his subordinates behind him, and a contemptuous sneer filled his gloomy gaze. "You think that's all he did—block it?"
The members of the Seven Deadly Sins exchanged confused glances at Huo Tian's words, not quite understanding what he meant.
"Look carefully—what is he holding in his hand?" Huo Tian snapped irritably at his subordinates' bewilderment.
"He's holding an arrow?" The others were even more puzzled.
"You lot… truly hopeless!" Huo Tian was momentarily speechless, then turned his gaze toward Shi Feng in the distance, his eyes filled with deep wariness. "In the Divine Realm, arrows are classified as special consumable weapons. Once they strike a target or any object—whether the target uses a skill or a weapon to block—the arrow shatters completely and turns to ash."
"Then what Black Flame is holding… that arrow…" The members of the Seven Deadly Sins all turned to look at the azure-blue arrow in Shi Feng's hand, and a chill erupted from the depths of their hearts, spreading throughout their entire bodies.
"Exactly. The arrow never actually hit him from start to finish. He caught it with his bare hand…" Huo Tian's voice carried a note of deep disbelief as he finished.
At this moment, it wasn't just Huo Tian who had long since identified the crux of the matter. Several Domain-realm experts among the four auxiliary teams had noticed it just as early, which was why their faces had gone deathly pale.
"Guild Leader?" Yan Tianxing couldn't help but look toward Shi Feng.
The Elven Enchantress's strike, as it currently stood, would likely be considered one of the most devastating blows even among the vast pool of peerless experts across the entire Divine Realm.
Was catching an arrow with bare hands really something a player could accomplish?
However, compared to the peak experts present, it was the four—Overturning Heaven Hammer, Crimson Rain Wanderer, the Elven Enchantress, and Sword Madman—who felt the greatest sense of disbelief.
"How did he manage that?" The Elven Enchantress's expression was one of absolute gravity as she stared at Shi Feng.
No one understood better than she did just how fast and powerful her seemingly simple arrow truly was. Within a hundred yards, once she loosed an arrow, not a single one of the Six Masters of the Fire Dragon could block it. Even speed-type legendary monsters would be struck dead-on.
"Three of you, this Black Flame is far stronger than any of us imagined. I'm afraid our only option is for all four of us to join hands," Overturning Heaven Hammer—Beifeng Sanqiu—said with a dark expression, his tone heavy.
"Fine. I have no objections," Crimson Rain Wanderer murmured, giving a slight nod.
"It seems we have no other choice." Sword Madman gritted his teeth and agreed as well.
