Chapter 1 The Slaughter Begins

Cang Yixiao gave an order, and the others sprang into action.

Elementalists and Spellcasters began chanting, Rangers drew their longbows, and Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights prepared to intercept.

"Black Flame, let's take our two teams and charge to the left. It's a forest over there, it'll be easier to shake them off," Lan Shuyun said quickly, raising her shield to prepare for impact.

Black Flame's teammates were such high levels; it was highly unlikely they lacked strength.

Although they were fewer in number, dealing with fifty people with twelve was much easier than six. Besides, Black Flame's team was clearly stronger, so breaking through the encirclement safely wasn't impossible.

But before Lan Shuyun finished speaking, Fire Dance had already moved.

A Shadow Step instantly placed her behind Cang Yixiao, and then a blood-red dagger with starlight pierced the air, slashing towards the back of Cang Yixiao's head.

The speed was so fast that Cang Yixiao couldn't react at all. A damage number of 1106 immediately appeared above his head, instantly dropping nearly a third of his health.

Seeing the other Zhenhuo (Truefire) Ryūjin blade about to strike again, Cang Yixiao was shocked.

"Get lost!" Cang Yixiao hastily used Whirlwind Slash, sweeping his greatsword horizontally at Fire Dance.

Berserkers were known for their strength, and Whirlwind Slash could increase its power through rotation. Even if his strength was slightly higher, it wouldn't be enough to withstand it.

Clang!

The greatsword in Cang Yixiao's hand stopped beside Fire Dance as if it had struck divine iron, and Cang Yixiao felt a numbness in his hand.

"How can this be?" Cang Yixiao looked at his greatsword being easily blocked by the slender, blood-red dagger in Fire Dance's hand, a look of shock on his face.

Is this an assassin?

The thought echoed deeply in Cang Yixiao's mind.

But in that brief moment of surprise, Fire Dance rotated the Zhenhuo Ryūjin blade in her hand and shook it lightly, immediately knocking Cang Yixiao's greatsword away, forcing Cang Yixiao to take a step back. Then, Fire Dance swung her other hand directly at Cang Yixiao's heart.

Although Berserkers focused on strength, Fire Dance, with her weaker strength attribute, completely surpassed Cang Yixiao due to the difference in equipment.

Dominion was so cruel, everything depended on the data.

Class advantages were just clouds in the face of big data.

Facing Fire Dance's sword, Cang Yixiao wanted to quickly block with his greatsword, but Fire Dance didn't give him a chance.

Shadow Strike!

Fire Dance disappeared instantly, passing through Cang Yixiao and appearing behind him.

Cang Yixiao wanted to turn his head to look at Fire Dance, but the damage number of 3426 that appeared above his head had already emptied his health, and his vision went gray.

It was over before it even started.

Cang Yixiao didn't understand what happened from beginning to end.

It was just an assassin two levels higher than him, but he didn't even have the power to fight back.

"Is the gap between players really that big?" Cang Yixiao couldn't figure it out. Fire Dance's appearance completely shattered his understanding.

But even if Cang Yixiao had more doubts in his heart, he still fell to the ground.

From the moment Fire Dance started, to the end of the fight, it seemed slow but was actually instantaneous.

Everyone only saw Fire Dance disappear, then appear in front of Cang Yixiao, and then Cang Yixiao fell. As their leader and only expert, he died just like that...

The consequences of a red-name player dying were self-evident.

Cang Yixiao instantly dropped a pile of equipment, and his level would drop by at least 3.

Seeing this scene, the red-name players couldn't help but be stunned.

"So fast!" Lan Shuyun looked at Fire Dance, her eyes full of respect.

Cang Yixiao didn't seem like an ordinary player. He had reached level 24 and was the leader of these elite players. His name was so red it was almost purple. He must have killed countless players, and his strength was not to be underestimated. Even she didn't have the confidence to defeat Cang Yixiao, but Fire Dance killed Cang Yixiao in the blink of an eye.

After killing Cang Yixiao, Fire Dance didn't stop. She turned her steps and pounced on the magic classes nearby.

The others, already stunned by Fire Dance, were like sheep. Fire Dance easily rushed to the side of the magic classes, killing them one by one, and in a blink of an eye, killed three more people.

Blackie was not to be outdone, waving his staff and using Hellfire, causing towering green flames to erupt in the crowd. Any player burned by the flames took over two thousand damage, and before they could escape the range of Hellfire, they died under the Hellfire, killing more than a dozen people.

Aqua Rose also used Flame Burst, one critical hit after another. Only flashes of fire could be seen, and six people fell instantly.

Flying Shadow had also rushed into the crowd, fighting in all directions. Even if many players resisted, Flying Shadow easily defused their attacks. Not to mention Flying Shadow was like a ghost, elusive and unpredictable, making it impossible for these red-name players to catch him. Instead, they accidentally killed several of their own people…

By the time the red-name players reacted, their numbers had been reduced by more than half.

Run!

With their numbers reduced by more than half, facing the beast-like Fire Dance and the others, these red-name players no longer had the confidence to continue fighting.

"Want to run now? Isn't it too late?" Shi Feng shook his head and sighed as he watched the red-name players scatter and flee.

Not to mention Fire Dance and the others' stats completely crushed these red-name players, even if both sides had the same stats, the difference in tiers would easily defeat them.

Before long, all fifty red-name players were killed by Fire Dance and the other four, dropping equipment all over the ground.

A rough estimate put the number of these equipment at nearly three hundred pieces, the worst of which was Bronze-grade. Just selling them would make a fortune.

Lan Shuyun, who had been standing beside Shi Feng, had her mouth wide open, and her heart was filled with shock.

Thinking about the calm and composure of the Black Flame team before, she suddenly understood.

"So they weren't pretending." Lan Shuyun looked at Shi Feng beside her, a look of shame on her face.

She originally thought that Shi Feng and the others were divine whales (rich players), unconcerned with worldly matters, but now it seemed that she was completely wrong.

With such terrifying strength, it was no wonder they didn't care about these red-name players.

"Thank you for saving our lives." As Lan Shuyun spoke, she took out a Battlefield set piece from her bag and offered it to Shi Feng. "I don't have anything to offer, please accept this Battlefield Wristguard."

When Lan Shuyun's teammates saw Lan Shuyun take out a Battlefield set piece to thank them for saving their lives, although they felt heartache, none of them objected.

It wasn't easy for everyone to reach this level. Dying once meant losing a level, and each person would also lose a piece of equipment, which was no less valuable than a Battlefield Wristguard.

Moreover, Lan Shuyun's actions could also build a relationship with experts, which they couldn't ask for more.

"Battlefield Wristguard?" Shi Feng had quite a few Battlefield set pieces in his bag, enough to collect more than three sets, but he was just missing the Battlefield Wristguard. "There's no need to thank me, why not sell it to me? As I said before, 10 gold coins for a Battlefield set piece."

As Shi Feng spoke, he traded 10 gold coins to Lan Shuyun, and a Battlefield Wristguard appeared in his bag.

"Finally collected a complete Battlefield set." Shi Feng looked at the complete Battlefield set in his bag, his heart filled with unspeakable joy.
