Chapter 1 Aftermath of the Sword Shadow's Strike

Immediately after the attack, Sword Shadow used Charge, his speed soaring, transforming into a whirlwind as he arrived before a demon just rising to its feet. He raised the No-Sharp Blade high, silver divine runes once again illuminating it, and swung down, unleashing the Tide Blade, a second-tier inherited skill of the Sea God Envoy.

This skill was the most powerful move among the second-tier inherited skills Sword Shadow had obtained from the Sea God Envoy's inheritance.

Instantly, deep blue water flowed around the No-Sharp Blade. With Sword Shadow's slash, a sky-piercing water blade passed through the demon's body, splitting it in two. The power of the water blade extended forty yards, creating a magnificent, deep blue wall of water when viewed from the side.

-513842!

Any player struck by this wall of water, whether wearing plate armor or cloth armor, watched their health plummet uncontrollably until it reached zero, dissolving into starlight.

The demon that was fully hit was critically wounded, its combat power greatly reduced.

The Blackwater members surrounding the scene wore expressions of indescribable horror and fear.

Powerful!

Too powerful!

One move scattered several High Great Lord-ranked demons, followed by another that critically wounded a High Great Lord-ranked demon, killing over a dozen people. Even the Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights were instantly killed…

"How can he be so strong?"

The experts from the various powers watching from afar stared at Sword Shadow in bewilderment, completely unable to understand what was happening.

Even if a second-tier class like Sword Shadow used burst skills, it shouldn't be this terrifying. Just being able to withstand a High Great Lord-ranked demon would be impressive, but now he could critically wound them without even using burst skills. This completely shattered their understanding of the combat power of second-tier classes.

"Damn it, Yanxue, immediately order the other demons to scatter!" Yi Xiao Duzang, watching the completely suppressed High Great Lord-ranked demon, gritted his teeth and shouted.

There were ten High Great Lord-ranked demons in total. Although they were no match for Sword Shadow, who possessed inhuman combat power, if they scattered, Sword Shadow couldn't handle them all. The other demons could still slaughter the Zero Wing Guild members.

As Yi Xiao Duzang issued the command, Yanxue immediately directed the other demons to bypass Sword Shadow.

But just as these demons were about to move, Cola landed in the middle of three demons, directly using Righteous Roar to firmly hold the aggro of the three High Great Lord-ranked demons, preventing them from even glancing at the other players.

The three High Great Lord-ranked demons suddenly attacked Cola, but Cola couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. He took a step forward, the third-tier Magic Battle Axe in his hand glowing with silver divine runes, and used Holy Light Slash.

As a silver light flashed, the instant the three High Great Lord-ranked demons made contact, they seemed to be electrocuted. Their entire arms were knocked back, and they staggered back several steps. The difference in strength between the two sides was obvious at a glance.

The other six High Great Lord demons were simultaneously suppressed by White Feather, Fire Dance, Flying Shadow, Ye Wumian, Banzhu, and Yidao Chengfeng, all second-tier classes, preventing them from dealing with the other Zero Wing members.

Watching the High Great Lord-ranked demons being suppressed one by one, the various powers present were amazed.

"Who are these people?"

The members of the various powers and adventurer teams were filled with curiosity and awe towards Sword Shadow and the others, and they began secretly investigating their backgrounds.

The various guilds and adventurer teams were no strangers to High Great Lords, but they usually dealt with them in group raids. Yet, Sword Shadow and the others were fighting them one-on-one, even gaining the upper hand. It was simply unbelievable.

They didn't know until they investigated, and what they found shocked them.

Except for White Feather, the others were virtually unknown in God's Domain and had no earth-shattering achievements. It was as if they had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

This made the members of the various powers and adventurer teams suspect that Sword Shadow and the others had been deliberately concealing their strength, just waiting for the right moment to unleash it.

But this time, even if Sword Shadow and the others didn't want to become famous, it would be difficult.

Because the shock Sword Shadow and the others gave everyone was too great!

With Sword Shadow and the others suppressing the demons, the other members of the Zero Wing Guild fearlessly slaughtered the members of the Blackwater Guild. Aqua Rose, Blackie, Purple Smoke, and Hazy Summer, the four magic classes, were like turrets.

The third-tier Magic Staffs they wielded allowed them to unleash magic power comparable to third-tier spells. Against players who were only first-tier, it was basically a one-hit kill, and they couldn't even resist.

Any random group attack spell or large-scale spell could kill dozens of people.

The only ones who could barely entangle them were the second-tier experts of the Blackwater Guild, but they couldn't get close, because if they did, they might be killed.

This completely one-sided battle situation turned Yi Xiao Duzang's face ashen, his eyes bloodshot.

He had brought his trusted aides and the experts from the former Tianzang Guild to the Ancient God's Ruins. These were the foundation upon which he stood in the Blackwater Guild. Now that they were being killed by the Zero Wing members, it would be difficult for him to maintain his position in Blackwater.

He wanted to stop them, but just facing the ordinary Level 50 Zero Wing youth in front of him was already difficult enough, and he couldn't break through at all. He was a genuine second-tier class, while the other party was just a first-tier class who couldn't even use second-tier skills.

But this first-tier Berserker could actually use first-tier skills to contend with his second-tier skills, and even subtly gain the upper hand…

It was driving him crazy.

As Yi Xiao Duzang's opponent, the Silent Blade Assassin You Ziping was becoming more and more excited, because he had never felt so good. The second-tier Magic Weapon and Level 50 Magic Light Set gave him a complete advantage in basic attributes. Sometimes, the sudden burst of power from the Magic Weapon would catch Yi Xiao Duzang off guard.

On the other hand, You Ziping discovered many shortcomings in his combat through fighting against an expert like Yi Xiao Duzang who had already reached the Subtle Realm. If it weren't for relying on his basic attributes and second-tier Magic Weapon, he would have probably been killed by Yi Xiao Duzang long ago.

"Guild Leader, these Zero Wing Guild members are too strong. If we continue to fight like this, we'll probably be wiped out before the Evil Beast army even arrives," Wu Xia, who was caught in a bitter fight, looked at Yi Xiao Duzang anxiously and whispered.

Yi Xiao Duzang, hearing Wu Xia's words, glanced at the constantly being killed Blackwater members. His heart was filled with murderous intent, but a sense of powerlessness also arose.

Just as Yi Xiao Duzang was about to say something, a black shadow suddenly darted across the central battlefield, its speed so fast that the Blackwater experts fighting there didn't even have time to react. A flash of cyan light was seen, followed by a thud as they fell to the ground. It was as if the Grim Reaper had descended, and no Blackwater members survived where it passed.

"Black Flame!" Yi Xiao Duzang roared in fury, his heart filled with indescribable envy and jealousy towards this darting black shadow.

Zero Wing Guild clearly had no background or backers, starting from scratch, but the experts in the guild were more powerful than the last. Experts like Fire Dance, Sword Shadow, Flying Shadow, Cola, Purple Smoke, and Hazy Summer, who had never been heard of before, were the kind of experts that even super guilds would beg for, but they had gathered in Zero Wing Guild.

In addition to these well-known Zero Wing experts, the little Berserker fighting him had great potential.

He really couldn't understand why so many powerful, nameless experts had gathered in Zero Wing Guild, while he couldn't even find one.

Just as Yi Xiao Duzang finished roaring, Shi Feng suddenly disappeared from the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Yi Xiao Duzang.

"Yi Xiao Duzang! Your era is over!" As Shi Feng finished speaking, the Holy Sword, Thunder, had already descended.

Although Yi Xiao Duzang, as a second-tier class, reacted quickly, Shi Feng's appearance was too sudden. Even though he reacted and tried to use the Ranger's escape skill to get away, he was still a step too late in the face of the second-tier forbidden skill, Instant Strike.

With just one sword strike, over 50,000 health points were reduced to zero…
