Yanyun Shiliu Meng and the others, upon noticing Shi Feng, also spotted the three people trailing behind him and momentarily froze in surprise.
"No way! Even Feitehaliya, the commander of the Divine Will Tribe's ace legion, is here? The Divine Will Tribe has always operated on the Western Continent—they've never shown any interest in the Eastern Continent, have they?"
"That's not all. Macafrey, the vice-commander of the Silver Lion Corps, is here too, along with the Scarlet Witch. Those two are among the Divine Will Tribe's strongest combatants. The one who just attacked was probably the Scarlet Witch."
"Why would they come here?"
The Divine Will Tribe wasn't particularly well-known on the Eastern Continent, but on the Western Continent, their reputation was immense—especially given their meteoric rise in recent times, rivaling even the five great super guilds.
Compared to Tiger's Radiance, a super power that had only been recently established, the difference in strength was enormous.
Now, all three of the Divine Will Tribe's top combatants had gathered in one place. The three of them typically each managed their own territories, so having them assemble together was practically equivalent to the Divine Will Tribe's ace legion marching through the streets.
But before Yanyun Shiliu Meng and her companions could fully process this, Feitehaliya and Macafrey suddenly appeared beside the Four-Winged Feathered Dragon. Feitehaliya swung her longsword without hesitation, and sword light cascaded down from the sky like a rain of stars, slamming directly into the Four-Winged Feathered Dragon.
Macafrey was no less impressive—she drove her warblade into the ground.
Instantly, rows of warblades erupted from the earth, thrusting upward at the Four-Winged Feathered Dragon soaring in the sky.
Compared to Yanyun Shiliu Meng and her group, the two of them were clearly superior by more than a small margin when it came to the power of their magical skills. These were ordinary Tier 4 abilities, yet each strike now rivaled the force of Tier 5. With the two of them working in tandem, the Four-Winged Feathered Dragon could only block one side's attack, leaving it squarely hit in a vital area by the other. It let out a pained shriek.
-31,654,215!
A damage figure of over thirty million popped up above the Four-Winged Feathered Dragon's head. While that was negligible compared to the creature's nearly twenty billion HP, the health bar visibly dropped by a tiny sliver—an outcome far superior to Yanyun Shiliu Meng's group, which had been completely unable to deal any damage at all.
"So strong!"
"Is this what the Divine Will Tribe's top combatants are capable of?"
Yanyun Shiliu Meng clicked her tongue in admiration as she watched Feitehaliya and Macafrey fight.
She considered herself somewhat capable in the current Divine Realm—certainly not among the absolute peak, but a genuine Tier 4 expert who had mastered Domain, equipped entirely in Epic-grade gear. Yet compared to Feitehaliya and Macafrey, the gap was staggering.
But before Yanyun Shiliu Meng and her group could recover from the shock of the combat prowess Feitehaliya and the others had displayed, a towering beam of sword light suddenly cleaved through space. In a single slash, it severed one of the Four-Winged Feathered Dragon's claws. The creature shrieked repeatedly, its HP plunging by over a hundred million in an instant.
Terrified beyond measure, the Four-Winged Feathered Dragon furiously flapped its wings, transforming into a gale as it fled into the distance—not daring to stay even a moment longer. Its speed far exceeded that of any ordinary Tier 4 flying mount…
This scene drew Yanyun Shiliu Meng and her group's gaze toward the source of the sword light, and all three were stunned.
The one who had unleashed that slash was none other than Shi Feng himself. But the magic energy swirling around his body was unimaginably dense—so concentrated that it had visibly condensed into liquid droplets of mana…
"How is that possible?" Yanyun Shiliu Meng's jaw dropped, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
A single sword strike that forced a Region Lord to flee was one thing, but the sheer magnitude of his power was almost inconceivable. The Tier 5 NPCs she had witnessed during the Continental War hadn't been much different.
According to the intelligence she had gathered, Shi Feng was formidable—even capable of slaying Tier 4 NPCs—but he shouldn't have been this overwhelmingly powerful.
After all, that slash hadn't been any sort of magical skill. There hadn't been the slightest fluctuation of magical energy—it was nothing more than a plain, ordinary combat technique…
Shi Feng watched the Four-Winged Feathered Dragon vanish into the distance like a storm and felt a twinge of helplessness.
"What a pity."
In a life-forbidden zone like the Valley of Demonic Fog, even he was unable to fly. When facing a creature that could take to the air, if it chose to flee, there was absolutely nothing he could do—let alone a Region Lord-level Four-Winged Feathered Dragon.
This was precisely why killing a Legendary monster in a life-forbidden zone that banned player flight was so difficult.
Most Legendary monsters in life-forbidden zones could fly. Without proper preparation and an ambush set well in advance, the best you could hope for was to defeat them—not kill them.
"Are you three all right?" Shi Feng walked over to Yanyun Shiliu Meng and her group after watching the dragon disappear into the distance. "This area isn't somewhere ordinary Tier 4 players should set foot. What brought you here?"
The Valley of Demonic Fog was far more dangerous than the Destruction Mountains. The Destruction Mountains were only a human-forbidden zone, not a life-forbidden zone. In a life-forbidden zone, Tier 4 players could at most explore the outer areas—venturing into the interior was practically a death sentence.
