The instant the Flame Guard emerged from the barrier,
This was the Flame Guard's Flame Domain.
It inflicted a burning effect on enemies within a fifty-yard radius of the Flame Guard, dealing 400 points of damage every three seconds.
Most level-20 players currently had around 2,600 to 2,700 HP, while plate-wearing classes had a little over 3,000, and virtually none had any fire resistance. Under the Flame Domain, they simply couldn't last long. This made the Flame Guard far more lethal to present-day players than other Leaders.
And the barrier that powerful hadn't been able to block the Flame Guard's Fire
Even with Shi Feng's Blade Liberation active, he couldn't measure up.
Facing more than ten level-28 Berserk Leaders, even as a first-tier Blade Saint, Shi Feng had no choice but to run for his life.
Fortunately, the Flame Guard's movement speed wasn't particularly fast. Combined with the surrounding stone forest, their mobility was further hampered. And most importantly, the Flame Guard's most terrifying Flame Domain had absolutely no effect on Shi Feng.
With 60 points of fire resistance, Shi Feng felt not the slightest discomfort in the Flame Domain — quite the opposite, he actually felt pleasantly warm.
Seeing that the barrier had been broken, a thought began to form in Shi Feng's mind. He turned around and activated
"ROOOAR!"
More than ten enraged Flame Guards glared at the ant-like Shi Feng, roared in fury, and swung their war hammers down at him.
Shi Feng smiled faintly and used Void Step.
After getting a proper rest, Shi Feng suddenly realized that when he used Void Step now, the mental strain felt significantly lighter than before. Moreover, executing Void Step came with an unprecedented ease and fluency, as though everything flowed naturally.
Before the massive fire hammer could even reach Shi Feng, his figure simply vanished from the Flame Guards' sight.
Having lost their target, the Flame Guards froze with their fire hammers suspended in midair, their eyes darting around in search of Shi Feng's position.
More than a dozen Flame Guards scanned the area for a while but found no trace of Shi Feng — as if he had never existed in the first place. They were utterly bewildered.
By the time Shi Feng reappeared, he had already charged past the Flame Guards blocking his way, putting nearly ten yards of distance between himself and them.
"What a distance!"
Shi Feng was stunned to see that his Void Step had carried him over ten yards in a single use. After all, before this, the most he had managed with Void Step was five or six yards before being detected. Now he could cover more than ten yards — already comparable to the top-tier experts from his previous life who had achieved mastery of Void Step.
Before Shi Feng could even celebrate, the Flame Guards spewed scorching flames from their mouths.
More than a dozen Flame Guards breathing fire simultaneously was like a tidal wave — all-encompassing, sweeping away everything in its path. Even a thousand players would have been wiped out effortlessly.
Although the flames were fast, Shi Feng was no slouch. With Sky Soaring Flight boosting his movement speed by 150%, he effortlessly outran the onrushing inferno and plunged headlong into the Cave of the End.
The moment Shi Feng entered the cave, a system notification chimed.
System: Player has discovered the Cave of the End.
