Upon hearing Shifeng's words, the players on the street grew nervous.
They had never thought that Shifeng wouldn't be threatened by Dark Sickle's attack.
The Evil Dragon was a Level 62 Archaic Species. If it started causing a ruckus on the street, they'd be the ones to suffer. Even if NPC soldiers were rushing toward them, players weren't monsters. They wouldn't be affected by aggro, and they could slaughter the surrounding players.
Against the Evil Dragon's attacks, aside from players with Invulnerability Skills, they'd likely die instantly.
They were merely passersby. If they died for no reason, they'd die in vain.
Meanwhile, Shifeng's words stunned Dark Sickle. Shifeng's resolute attitude had exceeded his expectations.
"Good! You've forced my hand! " Dark Sickle bellowed as he glared at Shifeng. "Let's see if you live up to your title as the Sword King!"
After saying so, Dark Sickle flapped his wings and transformed into a gust of wind as he charged at Xiang Shifeng.
The wind generated by Dark Sickle's movements sent the surrounding players flying backward. Even Tier 2 players barely avoided being blown to the ground.
Dark Sickle crossed the 20-yard distance in the blink of an eye. He then swung his scaly claws at Xiang Shifeng, the violent wind pressure even slowing down Brutal Bones, who stood behind Shifeng.
However, Shifeng remained motionless. He had no intention of dodging the attack. Instead, a golden glow enveloped his body as he swung Killing Ray to meet the attack.
Boom!
As a loud boom reverberated through the streets, the marble floor shattered inch by inch, and an unbelievable scene appeared.
Shifeng's longsword had actually blocked the Dragon's massive claw …
"He blocked it?" Everyone was shocked when they saw Shifeng retreat by only a few steps.
Everyone present knew just how powerful the Evil Dragon was. It wasn't an existence that current players could contend with. Not only did the Evil Dragon possess Strength, but it also possessed speed. With these two factors combined, it was practically impossible for players to block its attack.
Yet, Shifeng had actually blocked such an attack.
"You merely blocked a casual attack from me. I want to see how long you can last!" Dark Sickle sneered. Although Shifeng had blocked his attack, he knew that he had the upper hand in both Strength and speed. However, Shifeng's Berserk Skill had a limited duration, not to mention that he hadn't even attacked seriously.
Dark Sickle crazily swung his claws, and countless claw images smashed down on Xiang Shifeng like a small mountain. It was so fast that it made people despair.
The surrounding crowd looked at the claw shadows that filled the sky and were momentarily stunned.
In the face of this continuous attack, they could not think of any way to break it.
Players were different from monsters. Monsters could not exhibit their true combat power, nor could they launch high-speed attacks continuously. Hence, players had the opportunity to defeat monsters.
When players gained full control over monsters with high Attributes, they had never imagined that they would feel such despair. They had even lost the will to resist.
"Are you finally getting serious?" Shifeng looked at the claw shadows that filled the sky. He was not surprised at all and immediately brandished his two swords.
Purgatory Pentaslash!
Shadow Blade!
One sword light after another shot forward, colliding with the descending claw shadows. Explosions and sparks filled the air.
The two combatants' attacks were as fast as lightning. Even the surrounding Tier 2 experts couldn't see what was happening. They only heard a series of collisions and felt the continuous shockwaves.
"So strong! Hei Yan can actually face such a powerful Evil Dragon head-on? Is he really a player? "
Everyone was indescribably shocked as they watched the man and Dragon exchange a dizzying number of attacks.
As for Dark Sickle, the more he fought, the more shocked he became. Despite having the absolute advantage in Strength and speed, Shifeng was able to deflect his attacks with his swords. The Swordsman's defense was watertight. Only a small amount of HP fell from his attacks.
After clashing for over a dozen seconds, Shifeng had lost less than 10% of his HP.
"Big Sis Melody, Hei Yan is simply too strong. He can still hold his own against a Tier 3 Archaic Species. If Hei Yan is willing to help us, we might be able to deal with the Death God Workshop," Scarlet Heart said excitedly as she looked at the Shifeng.
Even watching from the sidelines made her breathless, yet the Shifeng didn't even pant after such an intense battle.
"Hei Yan is indeed strong, but he has used a Berserk Skill. He won't last long. Once his Berserk Skill expires, the Evil Dragon won't be able to stop him. Let's get away from him for now," One-arm Rashomon said worriedly.
"Don't worry too much. At the end of the day, this is still a Guild City. There are NPC soldiers everywhere. The Evil Dragon can't keep fighting like this," Melody said.
As Melody spoke, Ling Yi City's NPC soldiers finally arrived. The first to arrive was a 20-man party, and every NPC was Level 80, Tier 2. Without hesitation, they attacked Dark Sickle.
Due to the city's Attribute bonuses, these Tier 2 NPCs' Strength rivaled Great Lords of the same level. After factoring in the level difference, they were even stronger than Level 62 Great Lords.
Due to the NPC soldiers joining the fray, Shifeng's situation took a turn for the better. A Tier 2 NPC Cleric cast Heal on the Shifeng, restoring his HP. Meanwhile, several shield-wielding NPCs acted like a solid wall, greatly hindering Dark Sickle's attacks. Several ranged NPCs launched a barrage of attacks, reducing Dark Sickle's HP by the tens of thousands.
Although Dark Sickle still had the upper hand, it was only a matter of time before he died.
"Hei Yan, it seems I've underestimated you. However, if I attack anyone else, you won't be able to stop me!" When Dark Sickle saw that more NPC soldiers had gathered around him, he knew that he would only be at a disadvantage if he continued to fight the Shifeng. Turning to Stubborn Bone and Unyielding, he sneered and said, "Let me show you just how heavy a price your Ling Yi Society's Ling Yi City will have to pay after angering me!"
After saying so, Dark Sickle flapped his wings and charged at Stubborn Bone and Unyielding Soul.
The Evil Dragon was a Tier 3 Archaic Species. Whether it was in terms of Strength or speed, it was superior to the Shifeng and Tier 2 NPC soldiers. In the blink of an eye, Dark Sickle shook off the Shifeng and Unyielding Soul, arriving before Stubborn Bone and Unyielding Soul.
"Elemental Domain!" Shifeng shouted.
Suddenly, the Four Towers of Elements scattered around Zero Wing City's four corners released beams of light that soared into the sky, forming a gigantic magic array that enveloped the entire city. At the same time, Zero Wing City's space seemed to freeze, and everyone present felt an indescribable weight bearing down on their bodies.
Dark Sickle felt as if he were submerged in seawater. The resistance he felt when he swung his claws was so great that his speed decreased by more than half.
Meanwhile, Shifeng activated Instant Strike and appeared before Dark Sickle, swinging Killing Ray at the Evil Dragon's claws.
Peng!
The Evil Dragon's massive claws bounced off the ground. Immediately afterward, the Abyssal Blade stabbed at Dark Sickle. Although Dark Sickle saw the Abyssal Blade's attack, his other claw couldn't keep up with the Abyssal Blade's speed.
