Although Shi Feng had sensed someone behind him, everything had happened too quickly . He couldn't use any of his Skills or tools, and it was too late to turn around and defend himself .
Instinctively, Shi Feng bent his knees and leaped forward in an attempt to avoid the swiftly approaching dagger .
However, no matter how hard Shi Feng tried to avoid it, the weapon tracked his movements . In the end, he could only watch as the dagger closed in .
Why is a Domain Realm expert here?
After attempting to dodge, Shi Feng realized that his attacker was an extraordinary expert; the discovery shocked him .
If his opponent were merely a Void Realm expert like himself, even without his Skills, he could avoid the sneak attack . However, his opponent could predict his movements and force him into a corner .
It wasn't the dagger itself that was so fast . Rather, it was his enemy's reaction speed .
Shi Feng had encountered a similar situation against Ouroboros's Soaring Snake . Due to his innate talent, Soaring Snake's reaction speed was far beyond ordinary people . Meanwhile, Shi Feng's current attacker was twice as fast as Soaring Snake…
Based on Shi Feng's understanding, only mysterious Domain Realm experts had such fast reaction speed .
When the silver dagger struck, Shi Feng's vision darkened as he fell into a Fainted state .
This move was none other than the Assassin class's Ambush Skill . It could force its target into a Fainted state for two to four seconds .
Immediately after, another dagger bit into Shi Feng's back .
Backstab!
-10,249!
What a tough nut . Uncle Li was slightly surprised when he saw the damage above Shi Feng's head .
Both of his daggers were Epic Weapons . He had already activated his Berserk Skill as well . Even against a Shield Warrior or Guardian Knight with high Defense, his Backstab could easily deal over -20,000 damage, yet this attack had dealt a little over -10,000 damage to the Swordsman before him .
…
A short distance away, five cloaked players watched the fight .
"No matter how many times I see Uncle Li's Vanishing Cloud or Agile Thunder God, they both feel so awe-inspiring," the cloaked Ranger named Hungry Ghost said, sighing ruefully .
"That's to be expected . They are Uncle Li's trademark moves . They might not seem special, but even Domain Realm experts can't sense Uncle Li's presence when he uses Stealth and Vanishing Cloud . As for Agile Thunder God, the Secret Technique is exclusive to Uncle Li . With that technique, he can launch instinctive attacks without having to process his enemy's actions on a conscious level, resulting in an inhuman reaction speed . How else do you think Uncle Li became the Guild's number one assassination expert?" a petite Elementalist explained as she excitedly watched Uncle Li work .
Countless experts dreamed of grasping Agile Thunder God .
Unfortunately, even now, Uncle Li was the only player throughout the Sacred Temple that had learned the technique . Despite Uncle Li's vigorous training, none of the Guild's geniuses had learned it .
The Berserker wielding an aqua-blue spear said, "Ghost, it's about time to make your move . We don't have much time left . "
"Relax, Frostbite . That guy won't be able to move for at least two seconds . I can kill him twice with that much time . " Hungry Ghost nodded, chuckling . Following which, he retrieved four Black Arrows from his bag, aiming for Shi Feng and firing . "With this, our mission is complete . "
Yet another explosion shook the district as the Black Arrows broke the sound barrier .
In the blink of an eye, the Black Arrows crossed the distance of 30 yards and reached their target . Hungry Ghost had aimed for Shi Feng's blind spots; even if the Swordsman could move, he couldn't avoid these four arrows .
"It's finally over," Scorpion, who was in Stealth, said, chuckling .
Although he was disappointed that he did not get to finish Shi Feng off personally, witnessing Uncle Li's attack made the time he spent tracking Shi Feng worthwhile .
Uncle Li retreated to the side and took a silver Magic Scroll from his bag . This was the Rapid Teleportation Scroll that only peak Dark Players could obtain . Unlike Return Scrolls, which had a ten-second activation time, the Rapid Teleportation Scroll only required two seconds . Moreover, the activation process could not be disrupted . At the same time, the scroll would form a magic barrier around the user that could both protect the user and prevent NPCs from sensing them .
Right now, he needed to retrieve the items Shi Feng would drop on death and leave Stormwind Town as fast as he could .
As the four Black Arrows were about to slam into Shi Feng, however, a black figure appeared before him . This figure had taken the hits . Surprisingly, the Black Arrows hadn't killed the figure instantly . Instead, they vanished upon coming into contact with them .
This black figure was none other than the cloaked Fire Dance .
Even before Shi Feng had picked a fight with the House of Seas, he had asked Fire Dance to return to Stormwind Town . He had instructed her to watch from stealth as he tested the Nightwalker's Cape's effects . Moreover, he didn't want others to know that anyone else was related to the grocery store unless absolutely necessary .
Only, he hadn't been expected to be ambushed by a Domain Realm expert .
What?! He has an Assassin companion?! Scorpion, who was in Stealth, could not help his surprise .
While the Black Arrows were frightening, Assassins possessed Wind Steps and Vanish . Both Skills provided momentary invulnerability . No matter what kind of attacks they faced, they would not receive any damage during the invulnerability period .
The Assassin had used those two exact Skills to protect Shi Feng from the Black Arrows .
"Damn that Scorpion! What has he been doing all this time?!" Hungry Ghost cursed . "Didn't he say the target has been alone?!"
Now that this Assassin had disrupted their plans, it would become significantly harder to assassinate Shi Feng in the future .
Uncle Li, who stood a short distance away from Shi Feng, remained extremely calm despite the unexpected development . Without hesitation, he dashed forward, his daggers ready to end Shi Feng .
Although they had to change their plan, it did not change the fact that Shi Feng was still in a Fainted state and unable to move . Even without the Black Arrows, he had other means of taking Shi Feng's life . After all, Shi Feng only had around a quarter of his HP remaining .
The Black Arrows were only overkill .
Meanwhile, Hungry Ghost and the others regained their composure and assaulted Shi Feng from all directions .
Although Shi Feng now had an Assassin protector, the Assassin class specialized in single targets; against so many attackers at once, she couldn't protect the Swordsman .
However, as Uncle Li and his teammate were about to reach Shi Feng, five more figures appeared around him .
"Why does he have so many companions?!" Hungry Ghost and the others were stunned .
Six players now surrounded Shi Feng—a full party . At this point, Scorpion's surveillance was a joke .
What Hungry Ghost and the others did not know was that this was one of Thousand Transformations's Additional Skills, Phantom . It allowed Fire Dance to create five copies of herself .
However, Fire Dance had not activated Phantom to shock her opponents . She used the Skill to cope with so many enemies .
Phantom allowed her to switch places with any of her doppelgangers without a Cooldown . Even without moving, Fire Dance could protect her Guild Leader from any direction . Moreover, thanks to Illusory Power and Thousand Transformations itself, Fire Dance's Strength was only inferior to Shi Feng's .
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Following which, Fire Dance easily blocked the incoming arrows and Spells . Against Uncle Li's lightning-quick Assassinate, Fire Dance countered with her Fragmented Legendary short sword .
Peng!
On her own, Fire Dance should not be capable of blocking Uncle Li's Assassinate, which he empowered with Agile Thunder God . However, thanks to Thousand Transformations's hidden effect, she parried the attack in time . Fire Dance had only been forced to retreat by half a step even after receiving the attack .
In contrast, Uncle Li had been forced two steps back, his HP falling by over 200 .
