Chapter 1580 Next

On the wide stone arena, Shi Feng slowly sheathed the Abyssal Blade, not even glancing at the Level 30 Berserker who had already fallen to the ground.

"Next," Shi Feng said calmly.

The rules of the arena stated that a single fatal blow in a white-knuckle fight was decisive. As long as a vital point was struck, the opponent lost, even if they were a shield warrior with high defense and health, let alone a Berserker.

Looking at Shi Feng's indifferent expression, those who had previously been dissatisfied with him all shut their mouths, their eyes filled with apprehension.

Although Berserkers were not a speed-type class, defeating one with a single strike was not easy, especially against a seasoned expert with countless battles under their belt.

They were all companions and knew each other's strengths.

The Berserker who had been killed by Shi Feng's single sword strike might not have been in the top five, but his combat power was still above average. To strike a vital point with one strike, without even allowing the Berserker to react, was simply unbelievable.

"As expected of someone the Pavilion Master values, he really has some skills. Then allow me, Gray Hawk, to learn a thing or two."

A lean middle-aged man with eagle-like eyes walked out from the crowd.

When the crowd saw the Berserker calling himself Gray Hawk come out, the shock of Shi Feng's previous sword strike dissipated, and they regained their usual arrogance and confidence.

"Gray Hawk, we're counting on you. Don't let him look down on us," others cheered from the sidelines.

Gray Hawk was the number one expert among them. Despite being over forty years old, his sharp skills and rich combat experience were unmatched by ordinary young people.

"I'll do my best," Gray Hawk nodded solemnly and slowly walked in front of Shi Feng.

On the spectator stand, Feng Qianyu had a smile on her face.

"I didn't see Hei Yan's true strength before. Now that Gray Hawk is here, he should be able to test his limits," Feng Qianyu said with a smile, watching the replay of Shi Feng's previous fight.

"Miss, Gray Hawk is a top-notch expert even in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion. In the guild, apart from the younger generation's Long Wu, no one else is his match. He has a chance of winning against everyone else. How could he not be able to defeat Hei Yan?" Ling Xiang asked in astonishment.

Ling Xiang always felt that Feng Qianyu overestimated Shi Feng's strength.

She had been distracted earlier and didn't see the moment Shi Feng drew his sword, but now, after watching the replay, the speed of the sword wasn't so fast that it couldn't be blocked. It was just that Shi Feng's sword was too tricky, and the temporary change of moves targeted the dead spots, leaving the Berserker unable to react and hitting a vital point, resulting in a one-hit kill.

But Gray Hawk was different. His combat experience was many times greater than others. Even if Shi Feng's temporary change of moves was sharper, it wouldn't pose a threat to the experienced Gray Hawk.

"We'll see,"

Feng Qianyu naturally knew how powerful Gray Hawk was. According to the original plan, she had intended to have Gray Hawk as the team leader. If Hei Yan hadn't cleared the Hell Mode Our God Ruins, she wouldn't have come here to find Shi Feng.

Just as Feng Qianyu finished speaking, the countdown to the battle in the arena ended.

"Let me see how strong you are." Gray Hawk drew his war blade, his eyes suddenly turning cold, as if even the surrounding air had become cold, and nothing could escape those eyes.

Before Shi Feng could act, Gray Hawk slashed at Shi Feng's shoulder.

Gray Hawk's sword was not fast, but rather slow, something that ordinary players could block, or rather, it was as if he was tempting people to block it.

Moreover, Gray Hawk's sword was very fierce, directly targeting a vital point, forcing people to block or dodge.

If one didn't block and instead attacked Gray Hawk's vital point, the ultimate result would be a mutual loss.

It could be said to be a completely suicidal attack.

Those familiar with Gray Hawk were now smiling, because they all knew that Gray Hawk wasn't really trying to risk his life, but was using this sword to find the opponent's weaknesses.

Experts generally had no weaknesses, but only at the moment of attack would they expose their greatest weakness, so Gray Hawk was tempting Shi Feng, making Shi Feng take the initiative to expose his weakness, and then attacking the weakness. Although Gray Hawk would also expose a weakness, Gray Hawk relied on his superior insight and rich combat experience to completely suppress his opponent.

In other words, he was luring his opponent to compete in his own strengths, so many top experts in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion were no match for Gray Hawk.

"Risking your life?" Shi Feng smiled, "You'll be at a disadvantage."

Shi Feng took the initiative to meet the dark purple war blade, not even using his sword to block.

"He's crazy!" Gray Hawk was incredulous at Shi Feng's crazy behavior. "Did he think I would show mercy under my blade? Or did he want to dodge my blade at the critical moment?"

Gray Hawk was extremely experienced in combat. Since Shi Feng wasn't crazy, then the only possibility was that he wanted to dodge his attack at the last moment and use it to attack his weakness.

"You really underestimate me."

Gray Hawk's face turned cold, and the strength in his hand increased by several points, causing the speed of the blade to suddenly increase, making it impossible for anyone to dodge in such a short distance.

The blade slashed down.

The blade light passed through Shi Feng's body.

"This is!" Gray Hawk looked in disbelief as his war blade swept past Shi Feng's face, only hitting a remnant image.

"What's going on?" Ling Xiang's mouth was wide open. It looked like the previous blade was going to hit Shi Feng, but somehow, at a distance of only one meter, the 1.3-meter-long war blade seemed not long enough, and it was still a hair's breadth away from touching Shi Feng.

Feng Qianyu's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she said with a solemn expression, "Advancing by retreating, I didn't expect Hei Yan to have reached this realm."

"Advancing by retreating, how could he know it?" Ling Xiang was shocked when she heard this.

The attacking method of advancing by retreating seemed to be retreating, but it made the opponent think that they were attacking all the time, but when they really went to fight, they would find that they couldn't touch the opponent's body, but the opponent was always in front of them, like a ghost, unable to shake them off, which could cause great psychological pressure on the opponent.

Advancing by retreating could be said to be Long Wu's signature skill, but the reason why Long Wu was able to use such a skill was entirely dependent on his Domain (a state where players had absolute control over their surroundings), which allowed him to easily display such combat skills.

"Could it be that he learned it after fighting Long Wu? How is that possible!" Ling Xiang thought of this, and her back felt a chill.

Gray Hawk swung more than a dozen swords in a row, each one swift and sharp, and ordinary players couldn't even block them, but he couldn't touch Shi Feng. He was always a hair's breadth away, but if he didn't swing his sword, such a close distance, if Shi Feng drew his sword, he wouldn't have time to block it and could only attack at the cost of his life.

"No wonder the people from the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion were so confident after seeing Gray Hawk's appearance. He's originally an expert who has reached the Subtle Realm. If I hadn't had some insights in the Dark God Temple, it would have been really difficult to deal with him." Shi Feng roughly knew Gray Hawk's level. "Let's end it now."
