Even though the Three Tigers were the top assassins of a super guild, they couldn't mount an appropriate response in time against this seamless coordinated assault.
It wasn't until the Dark Coffin was about to seal the Three Tigers away that San Hu finally activated a restriction-removal skill.
Those nearly 0.5 seconds gave Huo Wu plenty of time to unleash the strongest first-tier assassin skill currently available — Phantom Kill.
In an instant, Huo Wu dissolved into a black shadow and passed straight through behind the Three Tigers.
A top assassin from a super guild, eliminated in a single coordinated strike by Huo Wu's trio — it left everyone else from the Pantheon completely stunned.
The Three Tigers' strength was by no means inferior to Wan Shi Wushuang. Even facing hundreds of elite players and dozens of expert players, the Three Tigers could move freely, even able to take the head of a general from within an army of thousands.
But now, a mere three-person combination had instantly killed them. The others hadn't even processed what happened before the Three Tigers were dead.
"Remarkable coordination. Without some kind of invincibility skill, there's no solution," Canglang Zhantian murmured with a sigh. "The gap in expert count between the two sides is enormous. The Pantheon doesn't stand a chance."
What's more, Canglang Zhantian knew something else — even without the trio's teamwork, Huo Wu alone was more than enough to render the Three Tigers completely helpless.
Although Huo Wu was an assassin, those stats were absolutely absurd. And those short swords she swung — besides a tank with a shield who could barely hold ground, no other class could block or dodge them. The only option was to maintain distance. Once she got close, it was the grim reaper himself come calling, and there was no playing anymore.
That was exactly why the Three Tigers had chosen to flee in the first place.
You Lan, standing nearby, nodded in agreement.
It might have looked like Wan Shi Wushuang had the stat advantage after activating his burst skill, but Zero Wing had quite a few players wielding terrifying skills. After all, they had just come out of the Titan Library — they knew all too well how powerful the skill books from the outer and inner regions were. Forget one Wan Shi Wushuang in burst mode; even three or five of him would get toyed with to death.
Just as You Lan was thinking this, Shi Feng made his move.
The moment Shi Feng took a single step, he vanished from everyone's sight without a trace. In the next instant, he appeared right in front of Wan Shi Wushuang, faint arcs of green lightning crackling across his body, and brought his sword crashing down in a devastating chop.
Second-tier Forbidden Skill — instant activation.
"You came looking for death! I'll grant your wish!" The instant Shi Feng appeared, Wan Shi Wushuang sensed his presence. A smirk crossed his face as he violently unleashed Whirlwind Slash.
After seeing the Three Tigers get instantly killed moments before, he had worried he wouldn't even get the chance to reach Shi Feng before being swarmed by Zero Wing's other experts. He never expected Shi Feng to come waltzing right up to him — and without even activating a burst skill. The man was practically begging to die!
But before Wan Shi Wushuang's war blade could even swing out, he saw a flash of green light bloom from Shi Feng's hand.
Immediately after, a devastating critical hit of 18,000 damage popped up above Wan Shi Wushuang's head. His HP dropped straight to zero. There wasn't even a sliver of time to think — his vision turned to gray in the blink of an eye.
"How is this possible?!" Wan Shi Wushuang stared fixedly at his own body. A sword mark had already appeared across it — he had no idea when it had been carved there. The speed of that strike had completely exceeded the limits of his perception.
Then Wan Shi Wushuang collapsed to the ground, dropping a level-40 Dark Gold equipment piece.
Everyone from the Pantheon stood there dumbfounded — or rather, they had been struck speechless by Shi Feng's single strike.
That sword was simply too fast. Far too fast.
All they saw was a fading streak of green light — nothing else. At that kind of speed, even someone with an invincibility skill would probably be done for, because before they could even activate it, Shi Feng's sword would have already passed through their body.
After Wan Shi Wushuang fell, Shi Feng didn't even bother picking up the loot. He charged straight toward the other Pantheon members.
It wasn't until Shi Feng had swept past every last one of them that the Pantheon players finally reacted — only to find themselves collapsing to the ground one after another, each killed in a single blow by Shi Feng without the slightest suspense.
