«This Black Flame is as cunning as a fox. We fell for it. He wasn’t trying to escape at all; he wanted to lure us all here. Everyone, be careful!»
«So what if there are only a hundred of them? We have tens of thousands here. Do you really think they can overturn the sky?»
Even though everyone had realized something was off, it was too late to turn back now. The arrow was already on the string; it had to fly.
Shi Feng had obtained far too many dropped items. A fat sheep like this might never be found again. Even if their guilds combined, their loot wouldn’t match what Shi Feng had gotten alone. Even if they had to fight the hundred or so members of Zero Wing right now, they were willing to pay the price.
«Hahaha, perfect! I’ve been cooling my heels in Creek Town this whole time. Now I finally get to make a move.» Hei Zi watched the crowd charging toward them and said with a grin.
«Don’t kill too many, Hei Zi. Leave some for others to practice on. This kind of large-scale battle doesn’t happen often.» Huo Wu drew the daggers from her waist, gave a faint smile, and slipped away into stealth.
The others in the party felt a wave of speechlessness. In Zero Wing, everyone knew about the Two Killing Gods: one was Hei Zi, the other was Huo Wu. In their last clash, if Hei Zi hadn’t possessed the large-scale magic ‘Light of the Stars,’ Huo Wu’s kill count would have surpassed his.
«Everyone be careful. These people are still alive for a reason; their combat power isn’t low.» Shuisi Qiangwei completely ignored Hei Zi and Huo Wu’s exchange. Their attacks were too overwhelming; others couldn’t hope to imitate them.
«Don’t worry, Sister Shuisi. Our gear has been upgraded so much. This is the perfect chance to test how much stronger we’ve become.»
The others laughed.
After the Mechanical Slasher was killed, the protective magic array in Creek Town vanished. The treasure from the Bloody Hand Society had truly opened everyone’s eyes. They had obtained several hundred Black Iron-ranked items alone, not to mention numerous Mythril-ranked and Gold-grade weapons and equipment. In an instant, their gear had leaped to a new level.
Now they faced over ten thousand players. Although the enemy had them vastly outnumbered, they had the advantage in both level and equipment. They also held the terrain advantage. The door to the teleport hall was only so wide; not too many people could rush through at once. It wasn’t impossible for them to put up a fight.
At this moment, Shi Feng stopped at the entrance of the teleport hall. He no longer ran but turned to face the various major guilds chasing him.
One side had tens of thousands, the other only about a hundred. The difference in numbers was a hundredfold, yet when the major guilds charged to within fifty yards, they all stopped as one.
«Black Flame, don’t think a few helpers make you untouchable. If you hand over all the dropped items today, we might consider sparing your life. If you don’t, today marks the beginning of the end for your legend.»
«Hand over the loot, and we’ll spare your life. Otherwise, you and your entire team are done for.»
The guild masters’ eyes were bloodshot as they stared intently at Shi Feng, wishing they could tear him apart. Earlier, Shi Feng had led the Mechanical Slasher to wreak havoc, causing them severe losses. Afterward, his feigned death had made them fight each other, further decimating their numbers. Now, with all these reinforcements suddenly appearing, no one knew if Shi Feng had another ace up his sleeve.
Now that Shi Feng had suddenly turned to face them, even wearing a smile, how could they not be worried? That’s why they all stopped and didn’t rush forward immediately.
What if they charged in blindly and fell into another trap?
No one dared to be the first to charge.
«What’s with all the idle talk? You’ve been chasing me for a long time. It’s my turn now, isn’t it?» Shi Feng drew Abyssal, a smile on his face, and quietly faced the army of ten thousand.
Shi Feng’s calm composure made every major guild feel uncertain.
