Chapter 1 You Aren't Messing with Me?

Jue Tian stared intently at Shi Feng, trying to see through his thoughts. However, no matter how he observed and pondered, he couldn't penetrate the Shi Feng disguised by the Demon Mask. All he saw was a smiling, approachable middle-aged man. Jue Tian just couldn't figure out what Shi Feng was trying to do.

After sparing his life, he was now using it as a gamble. Why go to such trouble? Wouldn't it be easier to just kill him?

"Why would I mess with you?" Shi Feng chuckled.

"Fine, I agree. So, what if I live? What if I die?" Jue Tian had to try, for the sake of his own pride and honor.

"If you live, I'll do one thing for you. If you die, you'll do one thing for me. How about it?" Only now did Shi Feng reveal his true intentions. All his actions were for this purpose.

"Do one thing?" Jue Tian fell into deep thought. After a moment, he looked at Shi Feng and said, "Would it be alright if I asked you to kill Ye Feng?"

Shi Feng was taken aback, then smiled.

In White River City, everyone knew that the IDs Black Flame and Ye Feng were the signature figures of the Zero Wing Guild.

He didn't expect Jue Tian to make this request. He had to admit, Jue Tian was quite ruthless. If he killed Ye Feng using the identity of Black Flame, the impact on Zero Wing would be immense, and it would also greatly affect the reputation of the IDs Black Flame and Ye Feng.

However, only a few core members knew that Black Flame and Ye Feng were actually the same person, namely Shi Feng himself.

*Killing myself,* this was going to be difficult...

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you could do one thing?" Jue Tian said with a smug smile, "Now that I've made such a small request, you're hesitating?"

"No, I just didn't expect you to make such a simple request. I thought you would directly kill me once. After all, I'm the Guild Leader of Zero Wing. Feng Xuanyang from Underworld hates me with a passion. If you kill me and give the video to the higher-ups in Underworld, you would be highly valued by Underworld and your status would greatly increase." Shi Feng's bet was a big one.

If Black Flame died, the prestige that Zero Wing Guild had painstakingly accumulated because of Black Flame would be ruined.

Jue Tian suddenly realized what he had forgotten.

The decline of the Dark Star Guild had made Feng Xuanyang of Underworld gnash his teeth in hatred towards the Zero Wing Guild. The guild he had spent so much effort building had become like this, so naturally, he couldn't let the Zero Wing Guild go. Therefore, Feng Xuanyang had issued a bounty, offering generous rewards to any Underworld member who could kill high-level figures in the Zero Wing Guild and cause trouble for the Zero Wing Guild.

Anyone who could accomplish this would gain fame, status, and wealth.

If he could destroy the Zero Wing Guild, even being promoted from an outer member of Underworld to an elite member would be no problem.

There weren't many elite members in Underworld, but anyone who could become an elite member would soon become a notable figure in reality. Countless outer members were desperately trying to become official members of Underworld, and now a direct path to becoming an elite member had opened up.

If he killed Black Flame, the Guild Leader of the Zero Wing Guild, there was a real chance he could become an elite member of Underworld. Even if he couldn't, he could become an official member of Underworld.

That was why Jue Tian had chosen to ambush Black Flame after discovering that Ye Feng wasn't among the Zero Wing members.

"Alright, I accept your bet. Let's start after I've fully recovered." The thought of being able to kill Black Flame, the Guild Leader of the Zero Wing Guild, was too advantageous for him, so he agreed without hesitation.

A little while later, Jue Tian's health and mental state had returned to their peak.

"How about we start the fight when this gold coin reaches its highest point and starts to fall?" Shi Feng casually took out a gold coin and suggested.

"Alright."

Jue Tian was speechless when he saw Shi Feng casually using a gold coin as a starting gun. He was worried that the gold coin would be lost later. He only had a little over twenty silver on him, which was already considered wealthy among players, but Shi Feng was using nearly five times that amount as a toy.

Comparing oneself to others is truly infuriating!

"Then let's begin!"

Shi Feng casually tossed the gold coin into the air. The gold coin rose rapidly. When it was three or four meters off the ground, its speed decreased greatly, and it seemed to be about to fall. Jue Tian was already on high alert, staring intently at the gold coin in mid-air. As soon as the gold coin started to fall, he would use Blind on Shi Feng, then activate Wind Rider and turn to escape into the town. Using Vanish in such an open space would be easily detected, but it would be different once he reached the town.

The terrain in the town was complex. During that distance, he still had other life-saving skills and items. As long as he ran into the town and used Vanish, even if Shi Feng's Perception was high, he wouldn't be able to find him.

However, Shi Feng's eyes were always focused on Jue Tian, not on the gold coin in mid-air.

Just as the gold coin began to fall and Jue Tian was about to use the Blind skill, Shi Feng disappeared and instantly appeared behind Jue Tian, slashing down with a Chop. This strike was so fast that it was impossible to dodge.

Jue Tian felt an unprecedented chill behind him. The Blind skill was ineffective because the target was lost. He immediately used Wind Rider, which granted him nearly one second of invulnerability, blocking Shi Feng's strike without taking any damage. Instead, he cleverly used the force of the strike to propel himself five or six yards away, creating a considerable distance.

"How decisive!" Shi Feng's gaze immediately turned to Jue Tian, who had turned and was running. He praised inwardly, If Jue Tian hadn't used Wind Rider decisively, but had instead used Parry, Shi Feng's strike would have taken half of Jue Tian's life. Now, using Wind Rider had not only blocked the damage but also created distance. His judgment was very accurate.

Although Jue Tian had created distance and his speed was increased by 40% due to Wind Rider, Shi Feng followed closely with a Wind Chasing Sword, closing the distance between them in the blink of an eye.

Shi Feng's Agility was extremely high. No one in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom could surpass him. Moreover, he had passive skills from his equipment, making his speed unparalleled. Only a Tier 1 Assassin or Ranger NPC at level 50 could be slightly better.

Jue Tian was shocked and immediately took out a magic scroll from his backpack.

This scroll was aquamarine in color and very delicate, clearly a Tier 1 magic scroll.

Jue Tian unfolded the magic scroll and used it directly on Shi Feng.

Water Restraint!

Several streams of water spurted out of the magic scroll, immediately rushing towards Shi Feng, trying to engulf him.

Shi Feng smiled faintly and continued to charge towards Jue Tian.

The blue streams of water lost their effect the moment they touched Shi Feng and dissipated.

"How is it useless?" Jue Tian was shocked.

That was an extremely precious Tier 1 magic scroll. Even a Boss would be trapped and unable to escape for a while, but it was useless against Shi Feng.

Jue Tian didn't know that Shi Feng had activated the Ring of Seven Luminaries' Void Ring before the fight, which granted immunity to all control and restriction effects. A Tier 1 magic scroll couldn't break through the protective effect of the Ring of Seven Luminaries.

"Damn it, it looks like I have to use that move."

Jue Tian reluctantly took out a tattered magic scroll from his backpack, which he had accidentally obtained from an underground ruin. Although this scroll was very old, it radiated an astonishing amount of magic. Even NPC appraisers couldn't determine what tier of magic scroll it was, but the appraiser initially estimated that it should be Tier 2 or higher.

Jue Tian didn't want to use it originally, since he only had one of these precious scrolls, but he had no choice now. Shi Feng's speed was too terrifying. If Shi Feng caught up to him again, it would be troublesome.
