Absolute Heaven's Ambush instantly took away a quarter of Shifeng's HP.
Hei Zi, who stood at a distance, was dumbfounded. He did not understand why an Assassin would suddenly appear and attack Shifeng. Although he wanted to help, casting spells required time. He had already used all of his Control Skills on the Steel-skinned Hippo, so he could only watch helplessly.
The only thing he could do was to chant an incantation and attack with Dark Arrows.
"What high damage!" Shifeng was shocked when he saw his HP abruptly decrease by a large chunk.
Previously, when the Level 9 expert Five Rat, a Berserker, attacked him, he had only caused slightly over -100 damage. Now, however, Absolute Heaven's Ambush had caused over -300 damage. His Attack Power was much higher than Five Rat's.
Assassins had extremely fast Attack Speeds. Normally, their damage per attack would not be as high as a Berserker's. However, this difference could be made up for by the number of attacks. If an Assassin's damage per attack was about the same as a Berserker's, then their damage output would be at least two or three times that of a Berserker's. Not to mention, Absolute Heaven's damage per attack was much higher than Five Rat's.
Although Shifeng was shocked, Absolute Heaven was not any less shocked.
Normally, his Ambush could take away two-thirds of the HP of an MT of the same level with a full set of Bronze Set Equipment. Now, however, his Ambush had only taken away a quarter of Shifeng's HP.
Shifeng's Defense and HP were much higher than those MTs with better equipment.
"Die!" Absolute Heaven's wrist spun, and a silver light streaked across Xiang Shifeng's neck. At the same time, his other dagger stabbed towards Xiang Shifeng's back.
Strangle!
Backstab!
Although Absolute Heaven was shocked, an Assassin's burst of power was not limited to the first attack. Instead, it was a series of burst skills.
Since Shifeng had appeared in Gale Canyon. Ever since the fight over the Shadow Leopard King, Absolute Heaven had been following Shifeng. Absolute Heaven had been quietly waiting for the best opportunity. He knew that Shifeng was very strong. Only when Shifeng was in danger and had no skills left would he have a chance to kill Shifeng. However, all this time, Absolute Heaven had not found the best opportunity.
However, Absolute Heaven's wait finally paid off. During the battle with the Steel-skinned Hippo, Shifeng had finally revealed an opening. As a precaution, Absolute Heaven had unhesitatingly used the Death Lock Scroll, which he had spent an exorbitant price to purchase. It was to deal with such situations.
[Death's Lock] Locks on to all of the target's skills, preventing them from using any skills and immobilizing the target for 6 seconds.
Although the Shifeng had high defense and high HP, 6 seconds was enough for him to kill a Shifeng.
At such a close distance, Shifeng could clearly feel the two daggers stabbing towards him. If Absolute Heaven activated a set of Berserk Skills, he would definitely die.
At this critical moment. Shifeng used Phantom Kill and immediately switched places with his doppelganger.
Death Lock could only lock onto Skills a player had learned. Equipment Skills would not be affected.
Just as he finished swapping, two silver daggers stabbed into the doppelganger's body. Above the doppelganger's head, a damage of 212 points and a Skill Damage of 257 points appeared.
Immediately after, Absolute Heaven abruptly unleashed his power, his two daggers madly brandishing about. Ten streaks of silver light could be seen piercing the doppelganger's vital points.
A series of normal attacks with the addition of Assassination Skill and Poison Damage from the dagger. In the blink of an eye, the doppelganger's over 1,000 HP disappeared.
"A doppelganger?"
Originally, Absolute Heaven was ecstatic, thinking that he had dealt with the Shifeng. He did not think that after so much effort, he would only be able to kill a doppelganger. His complexion immediately sank. Narrowing his eyes, Absolute Heaven looked at his surroundings, discovering that the Shifeng was not far behind him. Immediately, he turned around and dashed forward.
Death Lock had a duration of 6 seconds. Now, there were only 4 seconds remaining. How could he allow the Shifeng to so easily break the Death Lock that he had spent so much to purchase?
However, just as Absolute Heaven arrived before the Shifeng, a Dark Arrow shot towards him.
"Bastard, I don't have time to deal with you right now," Absolute Heaven ignored Hei Zi's Dark Arrow, his daggers stabbing towards Xiang Shifeng.
Absolute Heaven did not place the Shifeng's teammate, Hei Zi, in his eyes at all. As long as he dealt with the Shifeng, killing Hei Zi would be a piece of cake.
Boom! The Dark Arrow exploded on Absolute Heaven's body.
A damage of -221 points appeared above Absolute Heaven's head, taking away a quarter of his HP.
"Why is this bastard's magic damage so high?" Absolute Heaven frowned slightly, inwardly shocked.
What Absolute Heaven did not know was that Hei Zi wielded a Level 8 Secret-Silver ranked staff and wore plenty of Level 7 and Level 8 Mysterious-Iron Equipment. Hei Zi also had the Mysterious-Iron ranked Interpreter's Pendant, which Shifeng had given her. Hei Zi's magic damage had long since reached the peak. If not for Absolute Heaven's excellent equipment, a single Dark Arrow might have taken away more than half of his HP.
However, Hei Zi's high magic damage was not enough to stop Absolute Heaven's movements. Absolute Heaven continued to accurately stab Xiang Shifeng's vital points.
Just as Absolute Heaven's daggers were about to reach the Shifeng, the Shifeng used Silent Steps, instantly appearing behind Hei Zi.
"Crap!" Absolute Heaven felt incomparably depressed and angry when he saw the Shifeng disappear.
Despite not being able to use any of his skills, Shi Feng still had so many skills to dodge his sneak attack.
The distance between him and Hei Zi was over 25 yards. If he ran, he would definitely waste a lot of time. At that time, Shifeng's lock-on would also be removed. At that time, it would be extremely difficult for him to deal with the Shifeng.
"Brother Feng, you're amazing. You even managed to escape from that," Hei Zi laughed.
The previous exchange had been hair-raising. If Shi Feng's reaction had been just a little slower, he would have definitely lost his life. He was worried for the Shifeng. However, with the distance between them now, that Assassin would definitely be at his wit's end.
"Stop joking around. Be careful. That Assassin is not simple," Shifeng smiled. Hei Zi was still in the mood to joke around at this moment.
"Got it. Leave it to me. My skills' Cooldown is already up," Hei Zi said confidently.
However, just as Hei Zi was about to turn his head to look at Absolute Heaven, he suddenly discovered that Absolute Heaven had disappeared. Only an enraged Steel-skinned Hippo remained, roaring as it searched for the enemy.
"Brother Feng, that person disappeared. Could it be that he ran away after his sneak attack failed?" Hei Zi laughed.
Just as Hei Zi turned his head to look at Xiang Shifeng, his expression darkened.
The reason was that the Assassin from before was right behind the Shifeng.
"To be able to make me go through so much trouble, you should be proud of yourselves," Absolute Heaven sneered as he took out Flash Powder, scattering it at Hei Zi.
Hei Zi instantly let out a miserable scream. Both of his eyes were blinded, losing his combat power.
After pinning down Hei Zi, Absolute Heaven's dagger stabbed towards the Shifeng.
Shifeng did not think that Absolute Heaven would actually have learned an advanced skill like Shadow Steps.
An Assassin's Shadow Steps allowed them to instantly appear behind their enemy. Moreover, the next damage dealt would increase by 15%.
However, Shifeng could not move right now. Moreover, he did not have any skills to dodge Absolute Heaven's attack. He could only grit his teeth and activate the Silvermoon Set Equipment's Level 2 Life Shield. The Level 2 Life Shield could absorb 60% of the damage received, up to a maximum of 500 HP. It could definitely buy him some time.
Absolute Heaven was at a loss for words when he saw the Life Shield appear on Shifeng's body. He could not understand how Shifeng could have so many lifesaving skills, one after another.
However, a single Life Shield was not enough to stop Absolute Heaven's determination to kill Shifeng. Immediately, he brandished his dagger, attacking fiercely like a gale. Normal Slashes, Killing Stab, Backstab, and other damaging skills were all used.
Peng! The Life Shield shattered and dissipated. Meanwhile, Shifeng only had less than 500 HP remaining.
"Die!"
Absolute Heaven shouted excitedly. He poured all of his Strength and the five Skill Points he had previously accumulated into his Finishing Skill, Eviscerate, preparing to use his strongest damaging skill.
Following which, Absolute Heaven's dagger rotated, aiming at Shifeng's back and stabbing towards his heart.
Finishing Skill, Eviscerate!
At this moment, a dark-blue flame suddenly appeared on Shifeng's palm. (To be continued …)
