Chapter 157 Who is He?

"Just who is this mysterious youth?"

Shi Feng watched the magic power ball in the sky begin to shatter, a slight shock in his heart.

Because the skill used by the mysterious youth was a Tier 5 Forbidden Spell.

Dark Paradise!

Even Tier 6 Gods would be wary of this move, its power capable of turning players on the entire street into dust, both body and soul. The death penalty would likely be no less severe than that of Yunyin Mountain.

"Vanish!" The mysterious youth then flew toward the sky.

The magic power ball transformed into a black hole, beginning to devour everything. As the devouring intensified, the black hole expanded, threatening to engulf the players on the street.

"Damn it!" Shi Feng abruptly activated Dragon Strength and Blade Liberation.

The power of the dual burst skills directly elevated Shi Feng's Strength attribute to a level surpassing Lord-ranked monsters.

Space Freeze was essentially a restriction skill. Activating Dragon Strength would normally grant immunity to all restriction skills. However, immunity aside, the original force of spatial oppression remained, mixed with extreme mental pressure. Even without the original restriction effects, it was impossible for players to move with their current attributes.

Only by using dual burst skills was there a chance of movement.

"This power suppression is indeed strong." Shi Feng tried to move his body, only to find his entire body as heavy as if it were filled with lead.

"Hmm, there's still someone who can move." The mysterious youth was slightly surprised, glancing at Shi Feng. "To be able to move in my domain, even if you're just a Tier 1 small fry, you can be considered the first."

At this moment, Shi Feng's fingers were able to move, but his body remained immobile.

"Unfortunately, under Dark Paradise, even if you can move, you won't escape."

Just as the mysterious youth finished speaking, a voice resounded in everyone's ears.

"Shatter!"

As a low shout echoed throughout the space, the frozen space instantly shattered.

"To dare act so recklessly in Blackwing City, your courage is truly remarkable." A woman in pure white divine robes appeared in mid-air, looking down at the mysterious youth. "Or are you already prepared to become an enemy of Blackwing City?"

"Xia Lian!" Shi Feng regained his freedom, looking at the woman in the pure white sacred armor, unable to suppress his surprise.

He knew how powerful Xia Lian was, but every time he saw her, her strength had greatly increased, from an initial female bandit to a Tier 3 Divine Official, and then to a Tier 5 Red-Robed High Priest.

Now she was even more formidable, directly breaking the mysterious youth's domain.

Just as Shi Feng was surprised, Xia Lian held a red jade staff. The red jade staff was naturally formed, and the moment it appeared, the magic power of the entire space stopped flowing. Xia Lian only gently shook it.

Boom!

The black hole devouring everything abruptly disappeared above Blackwing City.

"Blackwing City is truly not to be underestimated." The mysterious youth glanced at Xia Lian in mid-air. "However, relying on Blackwing City's magic array to keep me here is likely impossible."

As he spoke, the mysterious youth's figure flickered and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

"He escaped quickly."

Xia Lian looked at the disappearing mysterious youth, not surprised. After glancing at Shi Feng, she also disappeared into the sky, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded players.

"What's going on?"

"That NPC is too awesome. He can kill players in Blackwing City, and Blackwing City can't do anything about him."

The players on the street, seeing this scene, were all excited.

This was the first time they had felt the power of a high-level NPC. Players were simply ants compared to these NPCs.

However, more than anything, they yearned for high-tier classes, and this news began to spread through God's Domain at the speed of light.

"I didn't expect there to be such risks when purchasing items from NPCs at the auction house. It seems I need to be careful when buying items in the future." Bai Qingxue thought of some equipment items she had previously purchased for the guild, and her heart couldn't help but become nervous.

Although the things she bought were far less valuable than the Golden Stone Slab, this incident made her somewhat uneasy.

Leaving aside that mysterious youth, even a Level 100 Tier 2 NPC could make her feel very uncomfortable. If a Tier 3 NPC appeared, she would only have a dead end.

In fact, it wasn't just Bai Qingxue who thought this way. The members of the various major guilds also had such concerns.

If they wanted to buy treasures from NPCs at the Blackwing City Auction House in the future, they would have to carefully consider whether they could protect the purchased treasures.

If they couldn't protect them, then they shouldn't buy them, or else they would lose both money and goods.

"He's finally gone." Shi Feng looked at the disappearing mysterious youth and also breathed a sigh of relief.

If Xia Lian had been a second or two later, he would have really been devoured by the black hole. The experience points lost were a minor matter, but not being able to log in for a period of time would be fatal.

However, just as Shi Feng relaxed, Xia Lian's voice came from his ear.

"Come to the library. I have something to tell you."

System: Congratulations to the player for triggering the Epic Quest "Secrets of the Stone Slab". Quest content: Go to the library of White River City to see Xia Lian.

"You've got to be kidding me." Shi Feng was stunned for a moment, looking at the system notification. "Even items stolen by NPCs will trigger a quest?"

This was the first time he had seen such a thing.

Generally speaking, when items bought from the auction house are snatched by NPCs, as long as you have a certain amount of strength, you can easily protect them. It can be said that buying valuable items at the auction house only gives you the threshold to obtain valuable items. Whether you can get them depends on your own ability.

Yunyin Mountain spent a high price to buy the Golden Stone Slab.

If he knew that he had accidentally obtained this opportunity, he would probably be heartbroken…

However, Yunyin Mountain was already furious.

"Damn it, damn it! That damned NPC actually dared to snatch my stone slab!" Yunyin Mountain had just walked out of the virtual reality pod, his face terrifyingly gloomy.

The Golden Stone Slab was gone, and the high-level members of the guild would definitely be furious, turning great merit into a great mistake in an instant.

This feeling of falling from heaven to hell was driving Yunyin Mountain crazy.

…

After Shi Feng triggered the quest, he didn't rush back to White River City. Instead, he bid farewell to Bai Qingxue, secretly found a place, disguised himself, and returned to the Blackwing Auction House to consign the remaining three thousand pieces of solidified magic equipment.

He would sell them in batches over time, instead of all at once, and each time he sold them, he wouldn't sell them in groups, but in sets of ten or twenty.

If he took the solidified magic equipment to the Candlelight Firm to sell, he could certainly earn a lot of money without paying high handling fees, and he could increase the Candlelight Firm's reputation. However, solidified magic equipment was something that ordinary players simply couldn't afford. Only places like Blackwing City, where major guilds gathered, could afford them.

Just as Shi Feng's first batch of ten pieces of solidified magic equipment appeared in the auction house.

The entire Blackwing Auction House was once again in an uproar.

"Isn't this the solidified magic equipment that appeared at the large auction?"
