Chapter 1 Silver-Gray Sword

The silver-gray sword glimmered with a faint red light, like a star twinkling in the night sky.

Upon touching the chaotic dance of blades, there was a resounding crack, followed by a powerful gust of wind scattering fallen leaves everywhere.

The blade dance suddenly dissipated.

The War Monkey Leader staggered back three or four steps, its sneering face replaced by a hint of terror.

The person who had seemed on the verge of collapse a moment ago now possessed a terrifying power. Even Huo Wu and Fei Ying, who were watching from a distance, were dumbfounded.

"Guild Leader's power is so strong!" Fei Ying exclaimed.

With just one sword strike, he had forced back a Level 25 Violent Leader monster. Even berserkers known for their strength were far inferior. If this power were used against players, even without any skills, a single strike would be enough to finish them off.

"It's not just strength; his speed has also increased dramatically. During the previous battle, I could at least see the sword shadows, but now I can't even see the shadows. I can only barely see the hand wielding the sword," Huo Wu said in astonishment.

Ordinary burst skills at most increase strength and speed by about 50%.

But the burst skill Shi Feng used was too terrifying.

Huo Wu estimated that it increased his stats by at least 100%. A 100% increase in base stats meant several times the increase in combat power.

"Let's start round two," Shi Feng said, looking at the War Monkey Leader, his lips curling into a slow smile.

The stat boost after Sword's Liberation was far beyond imagination.

His strength alone had increased by 100%, and his agility by 150%.

Even in a head-on battle with the War Monkey Leader, Shi Feng could completely suppress it.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The War Monkey Leader seemed to sense Shi Feng's power, baring its fangs and screeching. It was no longer as wild as before, but had calmed down, watching Shi Feng's every move, gripping its war blade tightly, and adopting a stance.

"You're finally getting serious."

Shi Feng smiled faintly, also assuming a fighting stance, preparing to face the War Monkey Leader's next move.

The War Monkey Leader had a high level of intelligence, not much worse than ordinary NPCs, so it would use its skills according to the situation.

Now that he possessed power surpassing the War Monkey Leader, the War Monkey Leader naturally wouldn't rely on brute strength to suppress him.

In God's Domain, Leader-rank monsters were stronger than other monsters not only in stats and skills but also because they had a unique skill.

It was this unique skill that made it very, very difficult for players to challenge Leader-rank monsters alone.

There were many kinds of these unique skills, including extraordinary destructive skills, skills that enhanced themselves, and large-scale attack skills.

As far as Shi Feng knew, the War Monkey Leader's ultimate move was Yidao Lianggduan (Instant Severance).

The Yidao Lianggduan skill was a godspeed skill that delivered a strike faster than the eye could see, instantly killing the enemy.

In the previous life, many Tier 1 experts had died from this move. Even a Level 30 Tier 1 Shield Warrior expert could not block it, and even a Tier 1 Assassin known for speed could not parry it with a weapon before being instantly killed.

Even though Shi Feng now possessed speed surpassing the War Monkey Leader, he didn't dare to act rashly and immediately activated Imperial Sword Reversion.

"Why is Guild Leader defending? He clearly has power and speed surpassing the War Monkey Leader, so he should be able to kill it easily!" Fei Ying asked in surprise.

Huo Wu remained silent.

She had challenged Leader monsters before and knew how powerful they were. She could also sense that the War Monkey Leader was about to display its true power, so she quietly watched Shi Feng, wanting to see how he would break through.

But a strange scene appeared.

Although Shi Feng had adopted a stance and prepared his defenses, he did not wait for the War Monkey Leader to attack first and then find a flaw to exploit. Instead, he attacked first.

Lie Di Zhan (Ground Splitter)!

A sword aura emerged from the cracked ground, slashing towards the War Monkey Leader.

Just as the incredibly powerful sword aura was about to hit the War Monkey Leader, it was suddenly struck by something and shattered.

And the War Monkey Leader's posture had also changed at some point, and it had retreated two steps.

Clearly, Lie Di Zhan had been shattered by the War Monkey Leader, but Shi Feng's strength was too great, and the War Monkey Leader was pushed back two steps by the backlash.

"So fast!" Fei Ying's eyes widened in disbelief.

Because after the War Monkey Leader unleashed its strike, Fei Ying saw nothing. It was a slash that was even faster than Shi Feng's sword strikes.

"A distance of 6 yards?" Shi Feng said, seeing the War Monkey Leader unleash its strike, and calculated the War Monkey Leader's attack range.

Yidao Lianggduan didn't increase the War Monkey Leader's movement speed much, but its blade speed was terrifying. The war blade was only so long, and the attack range was very limited.

According to Shi Feng's estimation, it should be 6 yards. Within these 6 yards was the War Monkey Leader's absolute domain.

Knowing the attack range, avoiding it meant absolute safety.

Then, Shi Feng unleashed dozens of sword strikes in quick succession. Because Imperial Sword Reversion could increase Shi Feng's attack distance, Shi Feng always stayed within a range of about ten yards when attacking.

The War Monkey Leader also blocked Shi Feng's attacks while charging towards Shi Feng, wanting to get within 6 yards of Shi Feng.

Unfortunately, Shi Feng's strength was even greater. Each time it responded to Shi Feng's attacks, it was forced back further and further. Moreover, Shi Feng's speed was originally faster than the War Monkey Leader's, so the War Monkey Leader was even less likely to close the distance.

However, Shi Feng's attacks were also unable to harm the War Monkey Leader. All of them were blocked by Yidao Lianggduan. On the contrary, because of the battle recovery, the War Monkey Leader's HP continued to recover.

"Yidao Lianggduan is indeed powerful, but what about this move?"

Shi Feng smiled faintly and activated Nine Dragons Slash.

Instantly, twelve phantoms of Abyss Blade appeared beside Shi Feng, simultaneously thrusting towards the War Monkey Leader.

After the twelve phantoms entered the War Monkey Leader's attack range, they were instantly knocked away as if they had stabbed into a protective shield, unable to pierce the War Monkey Leader at all.

However, Shi Feng's attack was far from over. Abyss Blade and Abyssal Dragon both emitted scorching flames. It was Shi Feng's ultimate move, Tier 9 Flame Burst, which could concentrate all flame power into one point and attack twelve times.

Suddenly, Shi Feng charged towards the War Monkey Leader again.

Just as he was about to enter the War Monkey Leader's Yidao Lianggduan range, Shi Feng disappeared. Although the War Monkey Leader was extremely vigilant, it could not sense Shi Feng's presence at all. Moreover, it still had to face the twelve phantom attacks of Nine Dragons Slash, so it had no energy to search for Shi Feng's location.

When Shi Feng reappeared, he was already standing in front of the War Monkey Leader. Abyss Blade was only a little distance away from the War Monkey Leader's body, but the War Monkey Leader's godspeed skill, Yidao Lianggduan, blocked it.

"What is that attack speed?!" Huo Wu had been paying close attention to the battle between the two sides.

But now she was stunned.

In her opinion, Shi Feng's sword, at such a close distance, could not possibly be blocked, but it was caught by the War Monkey Leader's war blade...

How could he fight?

But the War Monkey Leader, who had blocked Shi Feng's sword, looked unusually solemn.

The war blade that had blocked Abyss Blade's sword was then split open, and then Abyssal Dragon struck the War Monkey Leader, who could no longer counterattack.

One sword after another.

Eleven swords in a row, each sword dealing nearly 10,000 damage. Some critical hits dealt more than 20,000 damage. The total damage dealt by the eleven swords completely exceeded the War Monkey Leader's total HP of 140,000.

The War Monkey Leader was dead as dead could be.

"I won."

Shi Feng smiled slightly as he looked at the dead War Monkey Leader.

At this time, Shi Feng's mind was very muddled, and he couldn't even stand steadily. He sat down on the ground.

Then Shi Feng heard an urgent system notification from his ear.
