"You are?" Crimson Fox could not help his surprise when he turned to look at the approaching Shifeng.
At this moment, the Shifeng wore a Black Cloak, hiding his appearance and level. However, Crimson Fox could feel the threat of death from the man's Mount.
Everyone turned to look at the Shifeng, curious as to who the Shifeng was.
In the next moment, the Shifeng removed his Black Cloak, revealing his disguise using the Demon Mask. He wore dark, light armor with dark-blue runes flowing across his body. Two exquisite longswords hung from his waist. The Mana around him was clearly denser than the ambient Mana. He radiated an unparalleled aura.
He gave off the feeling that he was a humanoid Ferocious Beast.
"He's Hei Yan!"
"Hei Yan, the one with the title of Sword King?"
"There's no mistaking it. I've seen his battle videos. I never thought that he would actually come to watch the competition."
"Crap! What kind of equipment is he wearing? Why do I feel such dense Mana around him?!"
Some players who were familiar with Hei Yan immediately recognized him. Immediately, a commotion broke out on the street as everyone discussed Hei Yan's name.
In the Starmoon Kingdom, everyone knew of Hei Yan's name. However, in God's Domain, aside from merchant players, players rarely paid attention to the affairs of other kingdoms and empires. If not for the name Hei Yan on the God's Domain Experts List, ordinary players might not even know of Hei Yan's existence.
"Guild Leader!"
Surprise flashed in Gentle Snow's eyes when she saw the Shifeng reveal his identity.
Although she had long since known that the Shifeng's strength had improved rapidly, she had never imagined that it would be this fast. It had only been a short time since the battle to defend Stone Forest Town, yet the Shifeng's aura had changed drastically.
Meanwhile, the various large Guilds on the street could not help but be shocked by the Shifeng's aura.
"So, that's the Ling YI Society's Guild Leader, Hei Yan?"
"Looks like the rumors are true. He really is a monster!"
"Fortunately, the Guild Leader and Vice Leader are prohibited from participating in the ranking competition. Otherwise, the Ling YI Society would definitely be a dark horse."
The upper echelons of the various large Guilds inwardly celebrated when they saw the Shifeng. If they had sent Hei Yan, one of the top 100 experts on the God's Domain Experts List, the outcome of the battle would be obvious. Only the Black Dragon Empire's super-first-rate Guild, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, had experts capable of contending with Hei Yan.
As the Shifeng rode the Demonic Flame Tiger closer to Crimson Castle's members, the aura they exuded grew stronger. It felt as if the space around them had solidified, and they felt an indescribable pressure weighing down on them.
"Sword King Hei Yan?" Crimson Fox was surprised at first, but he quickly regained his composure. Smiling, he said, "So, President Hei Yan has spoken. It's settled, then. Whichever Guild ranks lower in the ranking competition will have to give up on Hidden Fog Town."
"Of course." Shifeng nodded.
"With President Hei Yan's word, I can rest assured. I still have matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer, President Hei Yan."
Hearing Shifeng's agreement, Crimson Fox smiled happily. He then led his Guild members into the arena.
The two cloaked players behind Crimson Fox could not help but give the Shifeng a few more glances. They then followed Crimson Fox into the arena.
"Boss, that's Hei Yan. He might have some tricks up his sleeve. Will there really be any problems if we follow the original plan and compete with the Ling YI Society?" the Level 45 Shield Warrior beside Crimson Fox asked worriedly.
"What are you worried about? I've already investigated the Ling YI Society through the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. The top-ranking experts of the Ling YI Society are indeed frightening. They can even contend with super-first-rate Guilds. However, none of those experts will be participating in the ranking competition this time. They are all experts left behind by Ouroboros. There is no need to fear them, "Crimson Fox said, chuckling. "Even if Hei Yan has something to rely on, do you think we don't have it on our side?"
"Boss, what do you mean?" the Shield Warrior asked, confused.
"The Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion has always held a grudge against the Ling YI Society. Do you think the Pavilion will only secretly invite two experts to help Crimson Castle?" Crimson Fox chuckled. "Relax. The Ling YI Society won't stand a chance this time. I'm afraid they won't even make it into the top ten. After all, many of the players participating in this competition are newcomers nurtured by the various superpowers."
After giving the matter some thought, the Shield Warrior agreed with Crimson Fox's logic. After all, they had long since prepared for Hidden Fog Town. He could not help but glance at the two cloaked men behind Crimson Fox. With just a glance, he could feel the chilling killing intent radiating from them, causing his entire body to shudder.
He had personally witnessed these two cloaked men's strength.
Crimson Castle's top ten experts had not been a match for these two cloaked men even when working together. In fact, they hadn't even shaved off 10% of their HPs. Moreover, these two cloaked men had hidden plenty of trump cards. If they went all-out, even Crimson Castle's top ten experts wouldn't be a match for them.
…
"Guild Leader, you agreed to their request too quickly," Gentle Snow said as she looked at the Shifters helplessly. Looking at the Shifeng, Gentle Snow said helplessly, "Crimson Castle has clearly come prepared this time. The two cloaked experts following Crimson Fox have never appeared in the information I've collected on Crimson Castle. They are very likely Crimson Castle's trump cards."
Although the two experts had concealed their levels and equipment with their Black Cloaks, the killing intent they radiated was no laughing matter. The killing intent they radiated was the result of countless battles. It wasn't that the two experts didn't know how to conceal their killing intent. Rather, their killing intent had long since seeped into their bones. Despite concealing their levels, they still radiated such killing intent. One could just imagine how frighteningly strong they were. Otherwise, the cunning Crimson Fox wouldn't have challenged them to a duel without hesitation.
"That's right! Guild Leader, I can sense an aura of oppression from those two that even Corpse Soul's peak experts can't. I suspect that they are both Refinement Realm experts. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to give me so much pressure, "Zhao Yueru said, nodding in agreement.
"Those two aren't just Refinement Realm experts. They've already reached the Flowing Water Realm. They can make the best response by observing their opponents," Shifeng said, shaking his head.
When he had arrived before Crimson Fox, he had clearly sensed how powerful those two cloaked experts were. Or perhaps, their existences were simply too obvious. Hence, he had deliberately revealed a powerful aura of oppression, hoping to gauge their reactions.
Just as he had guessed, these two were definitely experts!
The instant he had thought of killing Crimson Castle's members, only these two cloaked experts had prepared to counterattack. It was obvious that they had reacted to his subconscious movements. Crimson Fox's group, on the other hand, hadn't reacted in the slightest.
"Guild Leader, why did you agree to their duel?" Gentle Snow could not help but grow anxious.
Two Flowing Water Realm experts were no laughing matter. With the same Basic Attributes, any one of these two could annihilate all five of the players she had sent out. With these two, Crimson Castle could definitely compete for the top three spots. If the other first-rate Guilds didn't have any powerful trump cards, they might even win first place. After all, super-first-rate Guilds wouldn't actually participate in the competition. They would only send out some of their nurtured newcomers.
