With Nine Dragons Emperor's death, everyone stared at the Shifeng in shock.
Too fast!
From the moment the Shifeng charged at Nine Dragons Emperor to the moment he died, only a few seconds had passed. The speed with which the Shifeng had slain Nine Dragons Emperor, in particular, had been astounding.
Before they could react, the Shifeng had already dashed past Nine Dragons Emperor and taken his life …
"Ye Feng …" Martial Dragon was stunned when he saw Nine Dragons Emperor's ashes.
Although he had considered the possibility that the Shifeng had killed Nine Dragons Emperor, he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. The Shifeng had killed Nine Dragons Emperor so quickly that even Undead hadn't been able to save him in time.
"Martial, the Pavilion Master is dead! We're no match for them within the tower's range! We need to retreat!" Shadowtooth warned.
Nine Dragons Emperor was the team's absolute commander and core. Now that he was dead, the team was in chaos. Even if Martial Dragon and Shadowtooth continued to command the battle, they wouldn't be able to win against the Ling YI Society, which had an absolute advantage in Attributes.
Not to mention, there was also the Shifeng.
Shadowtooth didn't think that Martial Dragon and the others were a match for the Shifeng if they fought within the tower's range.
"Everyone, scatter and retreat! We'll regroup at the forest tower later!" Martial Dragon shouted as he glanced at the Shifeng. Despite the Shifeng's small stature, he looked like a giant as he stood before them, stifling them.
Shifeng's final attack, in particular, had been so fast that Martial Dragon hadn't been able to react in time.
If he had been in Martial Dragon's shoes, he wouldn't have fared any better than Nine Dragons Emperor. In the end, he would've most likely died.
At Martial Dragon's command, everyone scattered, making it even more difficult for Ling Yi's team to pursue the Shifeng members.
"Don't even think of escaping!"
Shifeng didn't let this opportunity slip by. He picked up the Level 45 Dark-Gold belt Nine Dragons Emperor had dropped and dashed into the crowd.
He didn't chase after experts like Martial Dragon and Shadowtooth. Instead, he focused on the Refinement Realm experts.
Killing a Domain Realm expert like Martial Dragon was an extremely time-consuming task. However, Refinement Realm experts were much easier to deal with. Practically every Refinement Realm expert had appeared beside Martial Dragon and killed him with a single swing of his sword.
By the time Martial Dragon and the others had left the 100-yard radius of the ancient tower, the Shifeng had already killed over a dozen players.
Just as Martial Dragon and the others were about to breathe a sigh of relief after escaping the range of the ancient pagoda, a towering pillar of flames descended from the sky, causing the ground to freeze.
Not too far away, a towering wave swept across the land, engulfing the retreating members of the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion.
The terrifying scene was like the end of the world.
Zhao Yueru's Icy-Flame Hell and Shiuse Qiangwei's Explosive Torrent instantly killed over a hundred people, reducing the original 200 people to just over a hundred.
"Zero … Wing!" Martial Dragon's heart bled as he looked at the remaining 100-plus players.
This time, the loss of the ancient pagoda was too great.
This was Thunder Island, after all. Every player that had been sent here was an expert. Any player that died here would lose a lot of weapons and equipment. Even if they resurrected, their combat power would decrease significantly.
When the battle ended, the various major powers on Thunder Island received news of the battle.
"What did you say? They managed to hold off an army of over 400 with just 100 players? "
"What?! How did they do it?! "
"Attribute suppression?"
"The Ling YI Society still has such a trick up its sleeve?"
…
For a time, news of Nine Dragons Emperor's defeat stupefied the various major powers. Not only had Nine Dragons Emperor died in front of everyone's eyes, but only a little over a hundred of the original 400-plus players had returned alive. In contrast, Ling Yi's side had only lost a little over a dozen players.
They simply couldn't believe this was true.
They were very familiar with the ancient tower's effects. Although the tower's defensive players would receive a significant boost in combat power, it shouldn't have been this frightening.
How could this even be considered a battle? It was practically a massacre.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng's name quickly spread throughout Thunder Island.
Despite so many Domain Realm experts working together, Ye Feng had still managed to slay Nine Dragons Emperor. Such a feat had never happened before. Although Ye Feng had relied on the ancient tower's buffs, it was still frightening.
At the same time, the various major powers began to raise their guard against Feng Qianyu and the Ling YI Society.
Normally, they could use tools to counter Attribute suppression, but on Thunder Island, where tools were prohibited, Ye Feng's Attribute Suppression Domain was an incredible feat. Even a 15% Attribute suppression was enough to make the various major powers take him seriously. Not to mention, the Shifeng also possessed Teleportation Gates, which allowed them to teleport a large number of players into the ancient towers and launch ambushes.
This was a serious threat to the various major powers.
After all, without the ancient towers, raiding a monster encampment was impossible.
For a time, due to Ling Yi's presence, the various major powers had no choice but to strengthen their defenses. They focused their attention on the three ancient towers they controlled, stationing at least 70 players in each tower to prevent the Ling YI Society from ambushing them.
This caused the spectators outside the Sky Thunder Island to be dumbfounded.
None of them had thought that the various major powers would become so nervous because of the inconspicuous Ling YI Society. No one would believe such a thing, yet it had happened.
Even as one of the Ling YI Society's collaborators, Feng Qianyu could not help his rueful sigh.
He had never thought that the Shifeng's crazy move would actually succeed.
"Damn it! Damn it! Ling YI Society! I won't let you get away with this! " Nine Dragons Emperor, who had just revived, bellowed furiously, his voice echoing throughout the forest. The surrounding Heavenly Dragon Pavilion members were so frightened that they fell silent.
To defeat Feng Qianyu, he had invited Bloody Paradise and spent a large sum of money to hire the Flower of Seven Sins, yet this was the outcome.
At this moment, let alone capturing a monster encampment, even capturing an ancient tower had become difficult.
This humiliation was unprecedented.
"Good! Very good! Since you don't want me to have an easy time, I won't let you capture a single monster encampment, either! " After Nine Dragons Emperor finished bellowing, he said in a deep tone, "Relay my orders immediately. Keep an eye on the three ancient towers they control at all times. As long as they rush to capture a monster encampment, we'll capture the towers immediately. I refuse to believe that they have that many people to defend them!"
"Understood!" Martial Dragon's eyes glowed with excitement when he heard Nine Dragons Emperor's orders.
Although there was nothing they could do now, Feng Qianyu and the Ling YI Society still had to capture a monster encampment. With just the three ancient towers, they would need at least 130 players to capture a monster encampment. Meanwhile, Feng Qianyu only had 220 players on his side. If they sent 120 players to capture a monster encampment, the remaining 100 players would defend the three ancient towers.
Even if the Shifeng possessed a Teleportation Skill, unless they gave up on capturing a monster encampment, they would have no chance of defending the three ancient towers.
As long as they didn't capture a monster encampment on Thunder Island, neither side would have the upper hand.
After saying so, Martial Dragon commanded his subordinates to keep an eye on the three ancient towers. At the same time, he had his team prepare to capture the towers at a moment's notice. He didn't want to give Feng Qianyu and the Ling YI Society any opportunity to take action.
"Big Brother Ye Feng has really driven Nine Dragons Emperor insane. He's actually doing something so shameless." Blue Phoenix didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she read her subordinate's report.
This was the first time she had seen someone push Nine Dragons Emperor to such an extent. Even the other superpowers hadn't driven Nine Dragons Emperor to such an extent.
Feng Qianyu, who stood beside Martial Dragon, felt a headache coming on.
With Nine Dragons Emperor keeping an eye on them, they really didn't have enough manpower to capture a monster encampment.
He had to admit that having more people was a good thing. Even if they weren't a match for the enemy in a direct confrontation, they could use underhanded tactics.
"Guild Leader, this is going to be troublesome. If we continue to fight Nine Dragons Emperor like this, our trip to Thunder Island will be a waste," Shiuse Qiangwei said, frowning as he looked at the map of Nine Dragons Emperor's forces on the island.
"It is indeed troublesome." Shifeng couldn't help but ask, "Right, how are Hei Zi and the others doing?"
"They've already completed their Promotion Quests. They're currently in White River City completing their Tier 2 Promotion Quests," Shiuse Qiangwei said.
"They've all succeeded?" Shifeng smiled. He then said, "Notify them immediately and have them gather 49 players in Ocean Viewing Town. I'll go pick them up."
