Chapter 1 He's Back

"So it was him. It's been a while. It seems his skills and equipment have improved a lot. No wonder he could sneak so close to me before I noticed," Shi Feng thought, his impression of Jue Tian extremely deep.

Back when he was searching for the Ice Blue Devil Flame, he was almost killed by Jue Tian. Later, while leveling up with Hei Zi and Lonely Snow, he encountered Jue Tian's ambush again, a truly close call.

In the long time Shi Feng had been in God's Domain, he had made many enemies, but Jue Tian, who had almost taken his life, was definitely the first.

After so much time, Jue Tian's strength must be more familiar with the combat style of God's Domain. If Jue Tian hadn't been careless and underestimated his identity as Black Flame, failing to hide his killing intent, he might have really fallen for Jue Tian's trick and been successfully ambushed.

"Why are you revealing yourself, and still not running?" Shi Feng looked at the murderous Jue Tian and smiled faintly.

"Run?" A hint of arrogance appeared on Jue Tian's icy face. "I admit you are very strong, worthy of being the Black Flame, Guild Leader of Zero Wing. According to my estimation, your strength and Nightfall's should be about the same. The last time Nightfall was able to kill me was only because I was anxious and used all my tricks to kill him, leaving me without skills. Otherwise, Nightfall wouldn't have been able to kill me. Now I've revealed myself, but all my skills are available. Do you think you can kill me?"

"As you said, it's indeed not easy to kill a top assassin like you without all your skills on cooldown." Shi Feng also admitted that Jue Tian had this strength, but today was different from the past. Jue Tian's strength was improving, and his speed of improvement wasn't slow either. "Since you're so confident, how about we make a bet?"

"A bet? Do you think I'll fall for that? Today, I originally wanted to kill you and let Nightfall know that I, Jue Tian, have returned. Since I can't kill you, you can give Nightfall a message: anyone Jue Tian wants to kill will definitely die!" Jue Tian sneered and turned to leave.

"Want me to deliver a message? Fine, but only if you can get away." Shi Feng directly used the Seven Luminaries Ring to activate the Time Domain skill, Absolute Time, and rushed forward.

Absolute Time, within a 50*50 yard range, no enemy can use skills or items.

With this skill, it was as if all of Jue Tian's skills were on cooldown. An assassin without skills was like a tiger without claws or teeth, only able to be manipulated by him.

"You think I can't escape?"

Jue Tian smiled confidently, wanting to use Blind to plunge Shi Feng into darkness, allowing him to escape easily.

But Jue Tian immediately realized that he couldn't even use a single skill, and was instantly shocked. No one knew better than Jue Tian how vulnerable an assassin without skills was.

However, Jue Tian was no ordinary person. He immediately calmed down and turned to run.

This kind of skill must have a time limit; it couldn't be infinite. As long as he stalled until the time was up, he would be free as a bird.

However, Shi Feng appeared behind Jue Tian with a Silent Steps, not giving Jue Tian a chance to run. He silently slashed down with his sword. Jue Tian reacted extremely quickly and immediately swung his dagger to meet it.

The silver-gray Abyssal Blade struck the blade of the dagger. Jue Tian only felt a huge pressure coming from his arm, pressing down on his entire body, involuntarily kneeling on one knee.

"What heavy strength, no wonder he could kill Ming Sha." Jue Tian secretly clicked his tongue. If he hadn't personally experienced it, he probably wouldn't have imagined that Shi Feng's strength was almost the same as a Boss. Only now did he understand why a master like Ming Sha was beaten back again and again, without even the ability to fight back.

Shi Feng swung more than a dozen swords in a row, each strike as fast as lightning and as heavy as Mount Tai, leaving Jue Tian no way to avoid it. He could only defend desperately. Although the damage he received was greatly reduced by blocking with his dagger, he couldn't withstand the continuous sword strikes. His health continued to decline, making Jue Tian extremely depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

Force overcomes skill. He cursed Shi Feng for being despicable and shameless, actually using force to suppress him, not using any skill at all when attacking, only using brute force, a frenzied hacking. Faced with such frenzied hacking, a life-for-life style of fighting, there was no way to use skill.

If he could use skills at this time, he could immediately resolve this crisis, but he couldn't use a single skill, giving him a feeling of powerlessness, of having strength but nowhere to use it.

Seeing that he was about to be blasted to death by Shi Feng, Jue Tian suddenly felt that this scene was extremely familiar.

Just like the last time he ambushed Nightfall, he used a magic scroll to seal all of Shi Feng's skills, making Shi Feng a tiger without claws and teeth, only able to be chased and unable to fight head-on.

His current situation was so similar to Nightfall's during that ambush.

It was just that this time, he was the one being chased and beaten.

If he had known that Black Flame had such a skill, he wouldn't have gotten so close to Black Flame, and even chatted for so long, giving Shi Feng plenty of time to set a trap. He was simply courting death.

"Alas, it seems I'm doomed." When only the last trace of health remained, Jue Tian had already seen his end. He was a red-named player. If he died, all his equipment would definitely be gone, and his level would drop drastically. If he still wanted to seek revenge on Nightfall at that time, it would be a distant dream.

But just as the Abyssal Blade was about to land on Jue Tian's body, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"What, aren't you going to kill me? If you wait until I can use skills, you won't be able to kill me anymore." Jue Tian looked strangely at Shi Feng and sneered.

"I said before, I wanted to make a bet with you, but you thought I was trying to trick you in order to kill you. Now your health is only a sliver left. I only need to wave my hand gently, and your weapons, equipment, and level will be destroyed. But now I still have that same question: are you interested in making this bet with me?" Shi Feng put away the Abyssal Blade and asked with a smile.

"It seems you really aren't trying to trick me. So, you fought me entirely to prove that you weren't trying to kill me when you wanted to make a bet with me?" This made Jue Tian very surprised, not understanding what Shi Feng was thinking, and couldn't help but ask in response.

"Of course, otherwise why do you think I fought with you? Do you think I have nothing better to do?" Shi Feng said with a wry smile.

"..." Jue Tian was speechless.

"What, you still don't believe me?" Shi Feng's face turned cold, hinting that he might attack again.

"No, I believe you. Tell me, I'd like to hear what you want to bet on?" At this time, Jue Tian became somewhat interested in the bet Shi Feng wanted to make.

"Bet your life!" Shi Feng said very simply.

"Bet my life? Isn't my life already in your hands?" Jue Tian felt a bit of an urge to curse.

Shi Feng shook his head and slowly said, "You said before that if you could use skills, you could easily escape from me?"

"That's right!" Jue Tian said without hesitation.

Although Jue Tian had seen Shi Feng's terrifying power, he still believed that he could escape.

"But I don't believe it, so let's make a bet and see if you can escape from my hands when you can use skills, what do you say?" Shi Feng smiled.
