Chapter 1 Disturbance

Just after Liefeng Duanhun launched his attack, a commotion broke out on the bustling street.

"Is that guy crazy? He actually dares to make a move in White River City! Doesn't he know that attacking people in a major city carries severe penalties?"

"Amazing! Who are those guys? Killing players in the city hasn't happened in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom for ages, has it?"

At this point, the players stopped and started watching the show.

NPC cities are different from NPC towns. Even if you don't kill a player in the city, just attacking one will result in an attack from the guards and imprisonment in the city's jail for a day or two. If you kill a player, it won't be just a day or two.

Now, the expert players and major guilds in God's Domain are racing against time. Being imprisoned in a city for several days can easily cause expert players to fall behind. So far, apart from the initial attacks on players when they first entered NPC cities, nothing like this has happened since.

After all, no one wants to waste their guild's experts' time, or the experts' own time, on such a thankless task.

…

After Liefeng Duanhun threatened them, the three members of the Liefeng Squad who were providing cover also launched an attack on Bai Qingxue.

This time, the mission they accepted was a do-or-die assignment, leaving no room for retreat.

Moreover, since they had already launched the attack, the surrounding NPC guards immediately noticed and began moving towards them.

If they couldn't kill Bai Qingxue before the NPC guards arrived, it would be difficult to kill her afterward.

"I've already made it clear that this is Zero Wing's territory, and Guild Leader Bai is our Zero Wing's ally. Do you think I'd just stand by and watch my ally get killed?" Shi Feng glared at Liefeng Duanhun. "Or do you think you can intimidate Zero Wing Guild with the name of Blackwater Corporation?"

"Are you trying to become enemies with our Blackwater Corporation?" Liefeng Duanhun looked at Shi Feng, completely surprised that Shi Feng was unmoved, as if he had never heard of Blackwater Corporation. However, time was running out, so Liefeng Duanhun could only grit his teeth and say in the team chat, "I'll deal with this Ye Feng! Stone and Broken Tooth, assist me! The rest of you, quickly kill Bai Qingxue!"

"Leave it to us, Liefeng. We were just careless before." Stone and Broken Tooth licked their lips and used their Vanish skills, disappearing from sight. They then circled around to Shi Feng's sides.

The most formidable aspect of an assassin lies in their unpredictability, delivering the strongest blow to their enemies.

Previously, they had focused all their attention on Bai Qingxue, and were only exposed, allowing Shi Feng to take advantage of them. In stealth, even against top experts, they were confident that they could remain undetected.

"I'll create an opportunity for you, even if it means getting hurt." After calming down, Liefeng Duanhun charged straight at Shi Feng with his blade.

He knew exactly how strong Stone and Broken Tooth were. He had also watched the video of their battle in the Dark Arena.

In terms of combat skills, he was indeed inferior.

However, real combat is different from matches, with many factors influencing the outcome, especially when experts cooperate. The increase in combat power is not as simple as one plus one.

With Stone and Broken Tooth working together, even he would be in trouble, especially with their illusion-like movement techniques. Silent and invisible, they were completely undetectable, like ghosts. Only when they attacked could he barely sense a trace of danger.

Although Shi Feng was strong, being targeted by two completely undetectable assassins would put immense psychological pressure on him. Even if he tried not to care, his subconscious would still make him distracted and constantly aware of the suddenly appearing enemies, affecting his combat performance.

He had a chance to kill Shi Feng because of this.

Taking out the Guild Leader of噬身之蛇 (Shishen Zhi She) and Zero Wing Guild's Ye Feng in one fell swoop would be worth it, even if he was caught by the NPC guards.

"Ye Feng, be careful! Those two assassins are very strong!" Bai Qingxue, watching Stone and Broken Tooth disappear, quickly warned him.

Although she was in a weakened state, her perception of danger had not diminished. On the contrary, the previous battle had made her more perceptive.

However, she only noticed the two assassins when they appeared.

As soon as Bai Qingxue finished speaking, the three Liefeng Squad members providing support in the distance launched an attack on Bai Qingxue.

Immediately, more than a dozen arrows and fireballs surged towards Bai Qingxue, completely blocking all her escape routes. If Bai Qingxue was at her peak, dodging and blocking these attacks would not be difficult. However, with her attributes reduced by 80%, even their ordinary attacks were more than she could handle.

At the same time, Liefeng Duanhun also slashed at Shi Feng, with impeccable timing.

"Dare to underestimate our Blackwater Corporation? Do you really think you can protect Bai Qingxue?"

If Shi Feng chose to block his attack, he would not be able to help Bai Qingxue. Conversely, if he blocked the attack for Bai Qingxue, he would suffer a relentless attack from him. Moreover, with Stone and Broken Tooth's assistance, Shi Feng could be taken out in one wave if he was careless.

Once Shi Feng, the obstacle, was gone, killing Bai Qingxue would be even easier.

However, Shi Feng, who was only two or three yards away from Bai Qingxue, had no intention of moving. He frantically swung the two swords in his hands, creating a series of trajectories in the air.

This was precisely the combat technique Shi Feng had learned from the Titan Library.

Sword's Orbit.

By drawing thirty-two trajectories with his dual swords, he formed an absolute defense within Shi Feng's attack range.

Although a swordsman's attack range wasn't long, it was still five yards, enough to cover Bai Qingxue, who was two or three yards away.

Although Shi Feng's grasp of Sword's Orbit was not yet perfect, it was enough to block the attacks from Liefeng Duanhun and the others.

Whether it was the arrows or fireballs flying over, or even Liefeng Duanhun's finishing move, all were blocked by Shi Feng five yards away. Not a single attack landed on Bai Qingxue or Shi Feng himself.

"A skill?"

Liefeng Duanhun was shocked as he watched Shi Feng block all the attacks.

He could clearly feel that when his battle blade was less than five yards away from Shi Feng, it was like hitting a shield, unable to penetrate further. Instead, it was shaken back by a powerful force, preventing the attack from continuing.

Bai Qingxue, who was standing still, also looked at Shi Feng in surprise. She didn't think it was a skill, because she could clearly feel within the domain of Sword's Orbit that all the defenses were ordinary sword strikes swung by Shi Feng.

However, these ordinary sword strikes were like skills used by players, simply miraculous.

"How did he do that?" Bai Qingxue couldn't understand at all.

Clearly, they were just ordinary sword strikes, yet they could form a kind of rule, blocking attacks from all directions.

Just as Shi Feng blocked a wave of attacks, Stone and Broken Tooth seized the moment when Shi Feng retracted his hands, used Shadow Steps, and swung their daggers fiercely towards the back of Shi Feng's neck, leaving behind a dazzling silver light.

The entire process was completed in a flash.

However, their daggers stopped abruptly when they were only an inch away from the back of Shi Feng's neck, unable to penetrate any further. No matter how hard they tried, they could only stab to that point.

"You two have amazing footwork." Shi Feng glanced at them, admiring them in his heart. "Too bad you met me."

Even he, who had reached the Realm of Vacuum, found it difficult to detect Stone and Broken Tooth's footwork. If it weren't for the Omniscient Eye, which allowed him to see them clearly in stealth, he would have really been ambushed by them and wouldn't have had the chance to use Defensive Sword: Returning Heaven to block the attacks.

The two also knew it was a life-saving skill and immediately began attacking frantically, trying to quickly deplete the number of blocks from Defensive Sword: Returning Heaven.

However, Shi Feng didn't give them a chance and used Sword's Orbit again.

Suddenly, a storm erupted with Shi Feng as the center. Because Defensive Sword: Returning Heaven could increase the attack range, not only Stone and Broken Tooth were enveloped within the range, but also Liefeng Duanhun.

After obtaining Sword's Orbit, Shi Feng discovered that it could be used not only for defense but also for attack.

As the thirty-two Sword's Orbits were swung, Stone and Broken Tooth fell to the ground, while Liefeng Duanhun, who was farther away, had less than a tenth of his HP remaining. His entire body was covered with sword marks, blood flowing freely. The terrifying scene chilled everyone on the street.
