Chapter 1 The Showdown

As Shi Feng disappeared, all the attacks in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion missed their mark. The crowd on the streets, who had been quietly watching everything, were left as if Shi Feng had never appeared.

"Disappeared?"

"He must have teleported away!"

"So strong! He's too strong!"

"Is that the Sword King Black Flame?"

The onlookers stared, dumbfounded, at the gradually healing spatial rifts.

Shi Feng had given them too much of a shock.

He had come to Ancient Rock City, the main base of the Underworld Guild, all alone. Not only had he destroyed two defensive magic arrays, but he had also safely escaped the encirclement of numerous NPCs and Underworld Guild members. The Underworld Guild was completely helpless and could only watch it happen...

Even super guilds couldn't do anything about Ancient Rock City right now, but Zero Wing's Black Flame had single-handedly thrown the entire city into chaos.

Such methods were truly terrifying!

"Damn it! He actually got away!" Battle Saint Broken Stream grit his teeth as he watched Shi Feng disappear.

Shi Feng's safe escape in front of everyone meant a huge loss of face for the Underworld Guild.

"Black Flame!" Misty Rain's expression also darkened.

She had thought that Zero Wing had no more tricks up their sleeve, but she didn't expect Zero Wing to pull such a stunt. Compared to the Underworld Guild's achievement of killing over ten thousand Zero Wing members, it was nothing.

Now that the two defensive magic arrays protecting Ancient Rock City had been destroyed, the super forces that received the news would definitely become even more frantic.

In the guild residence, Lonely Burial was furious, smashing the desk in front of him to pieces, his eyes turning blood red.

"Black Flame! I will never let you go!" Lonely Burial roared in the guild leader's room, his voice seemingly audible to every member in the guild residence.

The losses this time were too great!

If it were just the two defensive magic arrays, it wouldn't be a big deal. The key was the major forces that the Underworld Guild would have to face later. Without the obstruction of the defensive magic arrays, it would be easy for them to rush into Ancient Rock City.

Ancient Rock City had been painstakingly built to its current state and was gradually getting on the right track. If the major forces rushed in, it would definitely be destroyed. Even if they managed to protect Ancient Rock City, it wouldn't be able to function properly for a short time.

"Guild Leader, what do we do next?" Misty Rain asked in a private message.

"Return! Notify Lei Shao and the others to quickly return to Ancient Rock City to defend it. We must not let any major forces get close to the City Lord's Mansion!" Lonely Burial calmed down slightly and immediately ordered.

Although he wanted to chase after Shi Feng right now, even to attack Zero Wing, the most important thing was to resist the armies of the major forces.

"Just you wait, Zero Wing. I will get this debt back sooner or later!" After issuing the order, Lonely Burial clenched his fists as he watched Shi Feng in the video feed.

Shi Feng's actions had indeed caused a lot of trouble for the Underworld Guild and bought Zero Wing a lot of time, but it still couldn't change the Underworld Guild's overwhelming advantage.

The news of Shi Feng destroying two defensive magic arrays in Ancient Rock City also spread rapidly throughout the surrounding countries and the two great empires.

"Amazing! He managed to turn Ancient Rock City into such a mess all by himself. The Underworld Guild must be crying now." Galaxy Past smiled as he looked at the latest urgent intelligence in his hand. "Now the major forces' organized armies have a better chance of taking Ancient Rock City."

"Is that the rumored Sword King Black Flame? He's indeed got some skills." Inkfish Nonfish of the Red Emperor Guild watched the combat video sent by his subordinates and smiled. "But this has given our Red Emperor Guild a good opportunity."

Far away on Thunder Island, in the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's residence, Qing Huang, wearing a gorgeous deep purple robe, excitedly walked up to a beautiful woman in an elegant long dress. The woman's every move carried a captivating charm that made people unable to help but be mesmerized.

"Sister Qianyu, latest news! Zero Wing's Black Flame actually destroyed the Underworld Guild's Ancient Rock City all by himself. The Underworld Guild is in a mess right now." Qing Huang reported with a smile.

"How could that be? Ancient Rock City has a defensive magic array that even Tier 4 magic can't easily break through." Phoenix Rain stopped her work, slightly surprised.

"It's true. I don't know what item Black Flame obtained, but he broke the defensive magic array of Ancient Rock City with just one blow." Qing Huang then sent the combat video to Phoenix Rain.

In the video, the defensive magic array of Ancient Rock City shattered after repeated attacks from Hell Meteor, and the entire magic array eventually collapsed.

"How many secrets is Zero Wing hiding?" Phoenix Rain's beautiful eyes widened as she watched Shi Feng use the Devil King's Horn twice in a row.

With such terrifying power, coupled with Shi Feng's ability to come and go freely, what guild town could stop him?

Even super guilds would probably be wary of Shi Feng now.

However, Phoenix Rain didn't know that Shi Feng's Devil King's Horn only had two more uses. After using them up, it would be gone, and whether he could get it again would depend on luck. After all, items that could use Tier 5 magic were extremely rare in God's Domain.

On the other side, Shi Feng used Space Movement to arrive at a desolate hill, then took out a Return Scroll from his bag and returned directly to White River City.

Back in White River City, he heard players all over the streets talking about Ancient Rock City, and Zero Wing's reputation was higher than ever.

"It seems the effect is pretty good." Shi Feng looked at Zero Wing's rising momentum and was quite satisfied with this operation.

Although he used the Devil King's Horn twice this time, not only did he lose the Devil King's Horn, but he also spent 60,000 Magic Crystals and got nothing in return, but he also put the Underworld Guild in a huge crisis.

This crisis didn't just come from the major forces' interest in Ancient Rock City. During this time, Ancient Rock City would not bring any revenue to the Underworld Guild. Based on the daily expenses of their two guilds, if the Underworld Guild couldn't solve the problem, they would be finished in a few days.

Just as Shi Feng returned to the Candlelight Trading Firm to continue making the Magic Light Set, Aqua Rose contacted him directly.

"Guild Leader, you're too awesome!" Aqua Rose looked at Shi Feng in the video and couldn't help but get excited. "The Underworld Guild is in trouble now. According to the news I received, more than a dozen major forces have sent more than six to seven hundred thousand elite members to Ancient Rock City. Now, the Underworld Guild can't even defend Ancient Rock City, let alone deal with us."

"Our enemy isn't just the Underworld Guild, but also the Blackwater Corporation. What are their movements lately?" Shi Feng asked.

"The Blackwater Corporation seems to have put some of its energy into the Ancient God's Ruins recently, sending many guild experts to explore and develop it. They've been hunting us less." Aqua Rose nodded, her expression returning to its usual calm.

"The Ancient God's Ruins?" Shi Feng couldn't help but ponder.

In God's Domain, the combat techniques in the Ancient God's Ruins can indeed greatly help improve the strength of guild members. If enough are accumulated, the effect may not be any worse than the Advanced Combat Rooms in the Fighting Arena.

At this moment, a system notification suddenly rang in Shi Feng's ear.

System Announcement: Players have triggered the new expansion pack, Ancient Trials. The Ancient God's Ruins in the Orc Empire will be further opened, and the gate to the Ancient City will be opened on the fifth floor of the Ancient God's Ruins in ten hours. Please prepare yourselves.
