Chapter 181 Eliminating Loose Ends

In front of the Earl's Mansion, the Holy Sword, Killing Ray, flashed in Shi Feng's hand.

Four streaks of azure lightning from Wind Lightning Flash instantly engulfed Silent Firehawk and the other three, leaving only a level 50 Oracle and a level 51 Ranger standing dumbfounded to the side.

Neither of them expected Shi Feng to attack so suddenly and decisively.

This was Lakeheart City, after all. Although not the bustling central street, NPC guards would not let attacking players off the hook.

Players who attacked in Lakeheart City would be punished according to the severity of the offense, not only being killed but also imprisoned.

Killing four people now meant at least seven or eight days, or even more than ten days, locked up by the NPCs. For players, this was more painful than being killed. Furthermore, doing this during the new expansion when time was of the essence was insane!

"You're dead! You dare to kill players in Lakeheart City; the NPC guards will never let you go!" the level 50 Oracle exclaimed, pointing at Shi Feng in terror.

"Madman! You're a real madman! Just to avoid revealing your location, you're willing to suffer mutual destruction in Lakeheart City? Aren't you afraid of losing the advantage you worked so hard to obtain?" The level 51 Ranger beside him also looked at Shi Feng with a grim expression.

"Mutual destruction? Unfortunately, you're not qualified!"

Before the Oracle and Ranger could finish speaking, a detached voice entered their ears. The Abyssal Blade in Shi Feng's other hand blazed with dazzling fire, instantly disappearing from its position, only to reappear in front of the two.

Void Steps!

Flame Burst!

The two were already shocked by Shi Feng's actions. Faced with Shi Feng's incredibly fast sword strike, they couldn't react at all. They were struck by Flame Burst and directly incinerated, dropping two items.

After killing Silent Firehawk's group of six, Shi Feng quickly collected the six dropped items into his bag. From start to finish, it only took him three or four seconds, just as the NPC guards in the distance were reacting.

Meanwhile, a level 50 masked Assassin under a large tree fifty yards away stared intently at Shi Feng, his eyes filled with shock.

"Who is he? To actually kill six members of the Lullaby of Oblivion in broad daylight!" The masked Assassin looked at Shi Feng, his gaze full of heavy concern.

Although the Lullaby of Oblivion wasn't a top-tier adventurer team in the Black Dragon Empire, it was still a well-known one. The team only had a few hundred members, but there were many experts. Even he couldn't deal with six of them at once, yet Shi Feng was able to instantly kill Silent Firehawk's group of six in just a few seconds, and on the streets of Lakeheart City no less. This kind of strength was simply terrifying.

Although the masked Assassin felt deep fear, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Because just now, through the Assassin skill Eavesdrop, he had heard the conversation between Silent Firehawk and Shi Feng.

Eavesdrop was an Assassin's super rare skill. Although it didn't increase a player's combat power, it could strengthen their hearing, allowing them to hear conversations inside even through doors, let alone at a distance of only fifty or sixty yards. That was why he had been assigned by the guild leader to monitor Silent Firehawk's group of six.

"The trigger for the new expansion? If the guild leader finds out, he'll be very happy. Not only did we find out the location for exchanging high-grade items, but we also got news about the new expansion. Now, I won't have any problem joining the guild's main force." The masked Assassin laughed inwardly. Originally, he was just tracking Silent Firehawk, but he hadn't expected to gain such an unexpected harvest. This harvest was even more valuable than finding out the location for exchanging high-grade items. "However, this person's strength is too high. If we want to catch him, we'll have to send the guild's top experts."

He had already placed a tracking mark on Shi Feng. Unless he was directly killed like Silent Firehawk, the tracking mark couldn't be removed.

Silent Firehawk and the others were foolish to directly threaten him, thinking that Shi Feng wouldn't dare to attack on the street. In the end, he benefited from it, getting more information about Shi Feng, making it easier to catch Shi Feng later.

Just as the masked Assassin was thinking this, he saw Shi Feng not rushing to leave, but instead suddenly swinging the Holy Sword, Killing Ray, at the tree fifty yards away.

Thunder Flash!

Instantly, space was shattered layer by layer by a streak of lightning, leaving behind a pitch-black spatial rift. The lightning was so fast that it appeared in front of the masked Assassin in an instant. Before the masked Assassin could even react, the lightning had already sliced through his body, directly cutting him in two.

The masked Assassin suddenly felt his vision turn gray.

"What's going on? Why is my vision gray?" The masked Assassin looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. When he glanced at the life bar displayed in the upper left corner, he was immediately shocked. "How could I be dead?"

Until the masked Assassin fell to the ground, he couldn't believe it was real.

He didn't understand how he could have suddenly died.

He was clearly fifty yards away and always in stealth. Even second-tier experts shouldn't have been able to detect his stealth, but Shi Feng had silently attacked, so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

However, the masked Assassin didn't know that Shi Feng had already discovered him. Compared to ordinary second-tier classes, Shi Feng's level of 66 alone greatly suppressed the Assassin's stealth effect, not to mention his extraordinary attributes. Although he couldn't see his exact appearance, he could sense his approximate location. In addition, the Omniscient Eye could sense a radius of 100 yards, making it impossible for a first-tier, level 50 Assassin to hide.

"The last fly has been dealt with, so I can leave now."

Shi Feng glanced at the masked Assassin who appeared from behind the tree. He no longer cared about the masked Assassin's dropped items. After all, the NPC guards were already running over. If he delayed any longer, it would become even more difficult to leave. He then used the Seven Luminaries Ring's space movement ability to leave Lakeheart City.

At the same time that Shi Feng disappeared from the street, players who were passing by hundreds of yards away stood silently in place, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Who is that person? He's too awesome!"

"Damn! He instantly killed several level 50 experts with one move. Is that guy a monster?"

"Too awesome! He can kill several players in the street and leave safely. Even the top experts of those super guilds are nothing more than this."

Because some players had witnessed the scene of Shi Feng killing Silent Firehawk and the masked Assassin, they quickly uploaded the entire recorded video to the official forum of the Black Dragon Empire.

"A badass appears in Lakeheart City, killing several experts in the street and leaving safely!"

Because of this news, it directly caused a sensation throughout Lakeheart City. No one expected that someone could actually do such a thing. This made many players who thought they were safe in NPC cities feel worried, understanding that NPC cities were not the safest places.

The perpetrator of this event, Shi Feng himself, had already changed his appearance with the Demon Mask and entered Lakeheart City again, leisurely taking a high-grade carriage to the Candlelight Trading Firm.

With nothing else to do, Shi Feng also checked the items dropped by Silent Firehawk and the others in the high-grade carriage.

He had been too hasty when killing Silent Firehawk and the others, so he hadn't even looked at the dropped items, directly putting them into his bag.
