Zhan Baiya's death silenced the entire battlefield. It was as if time had frozen.
The surrounding Heavenly Demon Team members were stupefied. Even the healers at the rear of the team were frozen in place as they stared at Zhan Baiya's lifeless body.
Meanwhile, Sheng Wuji, Purple Jade, and the others, who watched the battle from a short distance away, nearly had their eyes fall out of their sockets.
"Crap! Is he really a player? "
At this moment, even Sheng Wuji could not help but curse. He could not believe what he had just seen.
Who was Zhan Baiya?
He was the commander of the Heavenly Demon Team. He was also known as the Ghost of Magic. His Skills and Spells were practically alive. Even Domain Realm experts would have a hard time dealing with his Skills and Spells, not to mention consuming the Divine Protection Potion.
Yet, despite such a situation, Zhan Baiya had died in a single move. He hadn't even had the time to activate his Lifesaving Skill.
"He's dead? What did he do? "
Purple Jade's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Shifeng, who stood proudly on the battlefield.
Although she had seen Shifeng kill Zhan Baiya's group of five, it had happened too suddenly. Before she could react, the battle had already ended.
From beginning to end, she had only seen Shi Feng suddenly appear before Zhan Baiya and the others. Following which, a resplendent light flashed, and Zhan Baiya's group of five fell to the ground. She had not seen anything else.
After all, she had already reached the Void Realm. Her five senses were already at their very limits. She could clearly sense everything around her. Even if one's movements were fast enough to escape her eyes, it would be impossible for them to escape her senses. Even old monsters at the Domain Realm were no exception.
Now, however, she could not sense anything at all …
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, after Shifeng killed Zhan Baiya's group of five, he did not rush into action. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the Heavenly Demon Team members.
"Do you still want to continue?"
Although Shifeng's voice was not loud, it was extraordinarily clear in this silent battlefield.
As soon as the Shifeng finished speaking, it was as if the Heavenly Demon Team's members had just heard the announcement of death. Every one of them fell into despair. The two peak experts, who had been prepared to take action, involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to meet the Shifeng's gaze. They were deeply afraid that the Shifeng would think that they were unwilling to accept the outcome and would once more attempt to kill them.
Moreover, even Zhan Baiya, a Domain Realm expert, had been killed. What could the remaining survivors do?
Continuing the battle would only increase the Heavenly Demon Squad's losses.
Immediately, the magic barrier he had just constructed crumbled, transforming into specks of light that dissipated into the air.
Yuan Tiexin, who had just arrived from afar, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He had no idea what was going on.
Previously, after Xiang Shifeng had explained the situation, Shifeng had rushed towards Sky Dragon House and Pride Empire's teams without hesitation. The Shifeng's Movement Speed was as fast as ghosts. Shi Feng couldn't catch up to them even if he tried.
When he saw the magic barrier, he knew that the situation had taken a turn for the worse. The Shifeng must have clashed with these two Guilds. Otherwise, a magic barrier of this level wouldn't have appeared.
However, the magic barrier had only been active for five seconds before it crumbled …
Even as experienced as he was, he couldn't understand what was going on.
When he saw Zhan Baiya lying on the ground and the Heavenly Demon Team's despairing members, he was even more dumbfounded. Who was Zhan Baiya? What was the Heavenly Demon Team? As an Elder-level character in the Secret Pavilion, he knew very well what the Heavenly Demon Team was.
Every member of the Heavenly Demon Squad was an expert among experts. They had experienced hundreds of battles, and they had even made countless contributions to Pride Empire. Every one of them was incomparably arrogant. Even if they encountered a powerful enemy, they would fight to the death. They definitely wouldn't shrink back in the slightest.
Now, however, Yuan Tiexin couldn't understand what was going on. Why would such prideful members of the Heavenly Demon Team not even dare to fight? Every one of them had lost their fighting spirit. Now, fear filled their eyes as they looked at the Shifeng …
"Elder Yuan, your Secret Pavilion is truly amazing. I, Sheng Wuji, admire you for hiding such a trump card all this time," Sheng Wuji said as he stared at Yuan Tiexin. Sheng Wuji said reluctantly as he looked at Yuan Tiexin, who had just arrived. "Our Horned Dragon Team has given up on the competition for Stone Forest Town. However, this does not mean that Sky Dragon House has given up. I hope you understand."
Yuan Tiexin nodded silently at Sheng Wuji's words. Although his expression didn't change in the slightest, his heart was already in turmoil.
He wanted nothing more than to shout at the top of his lungs. Just what had the Shifeng done?
Why had even the famous Horned Dragon Team chosen to give up on the contest?
Before Yuan Tiexin could react, Sheng Wuji led his team out of the forest. He didn't dare to linger here for even a moment longer. It was as if his life would be in danger if he stayed even a moment longer.
Only after the Horned Dragon Team and Heavenly Demon Team's members had left did Yuan Tiexin turn to Purple Jade. Meanwhile, Purple Jade told Yuan Tiexin everything she had seen.
So, that's the case. If it were me, I would've made the same choice as Sheng Wuji. Yuan Tiexin revealed a bitter smile as he looked in the direction Sheng Wuji and the others had left.
Killing Zhan Baiya, who had consumed the Divine Protection Potion, in the blink of an eye could no longer be described as stunning.
Although the members of the Heavenly Demon Team and Horned Dragon Team were prideful, they were not idiots.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would fight to the bitter end.
However, in the face of such absolute power, their numbers were meaningless. Rather than getting killed one by one, they would've been better off giving up and conserving their strength.
Thinking up to this point, Yuan Tiexin could not help but shift his gaze to Xiang Shifeng. He could not believe that Shifeng still possessed such strength. He was even stronger than he had been in the Auction Arena. Moreover, how long had it been since then?
However, what Yuan Tiexin did not know was that Shifeng was not faring so well right now. Although his Attributes had increased slightly since the Auction Arena, the increase was still very limited.
The only reason he was so powerful was because he had combined a Taboo Skill with a combat technique.
While Deep Sea Meditation could indeed bring out a player's potential, it was also very taxing on the player's Stamina and Concentration. Not to mention, using Deep Sea Meditation in a place like the Bottomless Abyss.
Using Sword's Transmigration and Instant Strike simultaneously consumed a lot of Stamina and Concentration. After using both techniques simultaneously, Shi Feng had consumed more than half of his Stamina and Concentration. He couldn't use the two techniques a second time.
If the Heavenly Demon Team and Horned Dragon Team continued fighting, he would have no choice but to flee …
Meanwhile, on the Horned Dragon Team's side, the members of the Horned Dragon Team wore ashen expressions.
"Commander, are we really going to leave just like that? The Guild Leader has ordered us to capture Stone Forest Town at all costs. Even if we can't, we can't let other powers get it, "a Level 67 Ranger asked worriedly as he looked at Sheng Wuji.
The Guild Leader's orders were absolute. If they returned unscathed, they would definitely incur the Guild Leader's wrath.
"What's there to worry about? The struggle for Stone Forest Town has only just begun. Even if we capture the town now, we'll still have to face the various superpowers' all-out attacks," Sheng Wuji said, chuckling. "Against the various superpowers' all-out assault, even if Sky Dragon House and Pride Empire worked together, we might not be able to hold them off, much less Black Flame and the Secret Pavilion."
"The struggle for Stone Forest Town will only truly begin once all of the various superpowers' experts have gathered. We're only scouting ahead.
"Originally, Hei Yan and the Secret Pavilion should have been able to defend Stone Forest Town with us. It's a pity that they've chosen a path that's destined to fail!"
Stone Forest Town's promotion into a city was no trivial matter. Many superpowers were vying for the town. Even Sky Dragon House felt that the town would be troublesome. Hence, they had no choice but to partner with Pride Empire. They were simply too naive to think that they could defend Stone Forest Town with just the Secret Pavilion's strength.
Meanwhile, shortly after Sheng Wuji and the others began their discussion, Stone Forest Town, which had been completely enveloped by a magic array, appeared before everyone's eyes.
Stone Forest Town had officially been promoted to Stone Forest City!
