Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God Chapter 865 - Clean Sweep

Chapter 865 - Clean Sweep

The instant the pitch-black chains bound h.e.l.l Fiend, the Elementalist released a low shout as he activated a Control Removal Skill, breaking free from his restrictions. He then instinctively raised his staff and used Frozen Circle.

A wave of cold air spread out to h.e.l.l Fiend's surroundings.

However, the cold air had failed to restrain the figure that had ambushed h.e.l.l Fiend. On the contrary, the figure had moved closer.

In the next moment, a streak of blue light slashed towards h.e.l.l Fiend.

Having no other choice, h.e.l.l Fiend used his Blink Skill, vanis.h.i.+ng and reappearing 20 yards from where he had stood in the corridor.

At this moment, h.e.l.l Fiend finally realized who had attacked him.

It was a man hidden under a Black Cloak. The cloak's hood concealed the man's face, and he could only see a pair of black eyes. A silvery-white flame burned in those eyes, making h.e.l.l Fiend shudder. Despite the man standing in front of him, he couldn't even pick up the slightest tension or oppression with his five senses; it didn't even feel as if the man actually existed.

"Who are you?!" h.e.l.l Fiend immediately realized that the man before him was no weaker than himself, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

If not for his sharp senses instantly detecting the chains that had emerged from the ground, this man would have likely killed him already.

Still inside the room, Praying Lotus was similarly stunned.

She had never seen such a foolish expert before.

She had never imagined that someone would be so daring as to aim for h.e.l.l Fiend's life here.

Setting aside h.e.l.l Fiend's combat standard, Light City was King's Return's main base of operations. Moreover, they were in the Divine Colosseum. The NPCs guarding this place were far more powerful than the NPCs patrolling on the streets. Every one of them was a Level 200 NPC. Attempting to a.s.sa.s.sinate h.e.l.l Fiend here was nothing more than a suicide attempt.

However, the Oracle Praying Lotus also reacted quickly as she began casting a Spell to cover h.e.l.l Fiend.

Meanwhile, the expert that Praying Lotus considered foolish was none other than s.h.i.+ Feng.

Naturally, s.h.i.+ Feng understood the risks of attacking a player in the Divine Colosseum. However, those risks were exactly what he needed to increase his chances of success.

Furthermore, he had chosen this narrow corridor on the second floor to make his move. Combat in such a cramped area was highly disadvantageous for a magical cla.s.s. Hence, his chances of killing h.e.l.l Fiend here were much higher than if he targeted the Elementalist on the open streets or in the fields.

In addition, the Divine Colosseum's NPCs were garrisoned in the first floor's main hall. By the time they discovered his attack and reached the second-floor corridor, they would have wasted at least ten seconds. They would need more time to react than if he had launched his attack on the streets.

"No answer? Then, die!" h.e.l.l Fiend began to chant an incantation when realized that his attacker had chosen to remain silent, firing numerous Frost Arrows at s.h.i.+ Feng simultaneously.

Inside the Divine Colosseum, he had an absolute advantage. Although the terrain worked against him, he didn't need to defeat s.h.i.+ Feng. He only needed to buy time until the NPCs arrived.

He refused to believe that s.h.i.+ Feng could kill him in such a short time. Moreover, he currently had the ancient book's enchantment. He was confident of contending with his Guild's old monsters, much less some fool with a few loose screws.

In the next moment, the Frost Arrows flew through s.h.i.+ Feng's body and struck the wall behind him, resulting in a white explosion.

h.e.l.l Fiend's expression darkened as he noticed that someone had appeared behind him. However, s.h.i.+ Feng had not revealed even a strand of killing intent. Despite reaching the Void Realm long ago, h.e.l.l Fiend had been slow by half a beat in discovering s.h.i.+ Feng.

Just as h.e.l.l Fiend considered using Ice Barrier to protect himself…

The Abyssal Blade was already unsheathed, and s.h.i.+ Feng used Blade Liberation and Chop against h.e.l.l Fiend.

The Abyssal Blade's mental oppression while unsheathed was already extraordinary. After using a Skill, the mental oppression increased by several times. Any ordinary player would freeze and fall in fear against such a powerful oppression. Even standing would be a difficult task. To an expert like h.e.l.l Fiend, however, although he had not frozen, the mental oppression still delayed his reactions.

Although mental oppression could not distinguish allies from enemies, s.h.i.+ Feng had utilized the Soul Fire's power before using the Abyssal Blade. His mind was utterly serene. With the help of the Soul Fire's power, even the Abyssal Blade's suffocating mental oppression felt like a light breeze. The Abyssal Blade could not affect him whatsoever.

As a result of h.e.l.l Fiend's delayed reactions, he allowed the Abyssal Blade to slice through Praying Lotus's Magic s.h.i.+eld and his Frost s.h.i.+eld without any resistance. h.e.l.l Fiend had no time to deploy his Ice Barrier as the Magic Weapon bit into his body.

Blade Liberation's power had doubled s.h.i.+ Feng's Strength and Agility Attributes. Even if s.h.i.+ Feng's Attributes were currently weakened, his Attack Power was still higher than before.

Even after the Magic s.h.i.+eld and Frost s.h.i.+eld absorbed a significant amount of damage from his attack, when his Chop struck h.e.l.l Fiend, it achieved a critical hit and dealt -13,418 points of damage. To h.e.l.l Fiend, who only had around 11,000 HP, this single attack was enough to deplete all of his HP instantly.

"Just who… are you?"

Watching his HP rapidly decrease, h.e.l.l Fiend turned his head to look at s.h.i.+ Feng, regret filling his eyes. If he had activated Ice Barrier from the very beginning, he might have held this man off until the NPCs had arrived, yet he had allowed his confidence of being in the Divine Colosseum to get the better of him. As a result, he underestimated his opponent's strength. However, no matter how much h.e.l.l Fiend regretted his arrogance, his body still collapsed to the ground. He dropped a piece of equipment and an ancient book as he died.

Praying Lotus, who still stood inside the VIP room, looked at s.h.i.+ Feng grimly. She no longer dared to look down on s.h.i.+ Feng.

This had all happened too quickly.

She had never dreamed that h.e.l.l Fiend would die like that, without even enough time to even activate Ice Barrier. Even if she relayed this story, n.o.body would believe her.

However, this unimaginable scene had indeed occurred.

Killing h.e.l.l Fiend inside the Divine Colosseum might have seemed extremely foolish, but they had been the true fools. After all, how could an expert of such standard possibly accomplish such a suicidal a.s.sa.s.sination without at least some confidence of succeeding?

Moreover, the burst of mental oppression that had suddenly appeared was simply too frightening.

Even from so far away, her mind had still gone blank for a moment. If s.h.i.+ Feng approached her, only death would await her.

Experts were experts because of their quick reactions. However, that kind of mental oppression had even slowed her thought process…

In a battle between experts, even an instant of hesitation could be fatal, not to mention falling into a daze.

Just who is he? Praying Lotus's mind rapidly shuffled through the well-known experts in G.o.d's Domain as she watched s.h.i.+ Feng's cloaked figure. However, not one of the experts she knew of possessed a cold, ethereal aura like the man before her. She felt as if she were looking at an emotionless robot, rather than a human being.

While Praying Lotus tried to guess s.h.i.+ Feng's ident.i.ty, s.h.i.+ Feng hurriedly collected the equipment and ancient book h.e.l.l Fiend had dropped. He then used s.p.a.ce Movement and departed from the Divine Colosseum silently.

Shortly after s.h.i.+ Feng left, a group of Level 200 guards wielding spears reached the scene of the crime.

However, aside from h.e.l.l Fiend's corpse, n.o.body else was present in the corridor.

Moments after the guards arrived, a few curious players rushed to the scene as well.

When they discovered h.e.l.l Fiend's corpse, none of them could believe their eyes.

Someone had killed King's Return's Adjudicator in the Divine Colosseum…
