Shifeng fell silent for a long time after hearing Fire Dance's words.
What was going on?
NPC？
Moreover, a Tier 5 NPC and two Tier 4 NPCs?
Based on what he knew, Poison City had never had such a thing. It was a ghost city, a city made of dead souls. There were no living creatures in the city.
"Guild Leader, should we retreat?" Fire Dance asked.
If it were a Tier 4 NPC, they might have a chance against them with their numbers and the Ring of Gospel. However, a Tier 5 Sword Saint was no laughing matter. A Sword Saint stood at the apex of God's Domain. Even a kingdom wouldn't dare provoke a Sword Saint. Killing Tier 3 players would be child's play for a Sword Saint.
Unlike monsters, NPCs didn't possess particularly impressive Skills, Spells, or combat standards. They only had high HP and Defense. On the other hand, a Tier 5 NPC's combat standards were nothing to scoff at. In terms of combat standards, a Tier 5 NPC could easily crush a Refinement Realm expert.
She hadn't been able to tell in the past, but now that her combat standards had improved, she could tell that a Tier 5 NPC's every move was akin to a combat technique. Including the NPC's absolute advantage in Basic Attributes, killing a Tier 3 player was no different from killing a chicken.
Without several dozen Tier 4 experts armed to the teeth, she had no chance of defeating a Tier 5 NPC.
"No. Wait for me there. I'll lead some people over," Shifeng said, shaking his head.
The fragment of Solomon's Sword was the easiest fragment for him to obtain. If it were any other fragment, he wouldn't have any leads on it. Hence, he couldn't just give up on it.
Currently, no player had obtained a fragment of Solomon's Sword. Fortunately, it was easy to find one. Once a player obtained a fragment of Solomon's Sword, finding another would be like finding a needle in a haystack. After all, Solomon's Sword's fragments didn't sense each other. If players didn't publicize their discovery, nobody would find them.
This was why he was in such a hurry to collect Solomon's Sword's fragments.
However, as players reached higher levels, it would become increasingly difficult to collect these items. This was also the reason why Legendary items were so rare in the past. It was especially true for weapons. They were simply too difficult to obtain. They were no longer items that could be obtained by manpower. One could only rely on luck.
Of course, there was an exception to this rule: ancient books. Lost Ancient Books.
It was possible to search for clues through consumable items like ancient books, but lost ancient books were also very rare, and it would depend on luck to find them …
In less than two hours, Shi Feng led the team to a small plaza in Poison City. The fountain in the plaza's center had already dried up, and weeds were growing everywhere. However, Shi Feng could see the faint glow of a magic array on the ground, and a dark-gray longsword stabbed into the ground. The surrounding area was deathly silent.
If not for the magic array's seal, the gray longsword's impact would've been even greater.
Meanwhile, three NPCs stood quietly before the fountain. The one leading them was a one-eyed, red-haired man draped in a snow-white cloak. He stared at the longsword in the fountain in a daze.
Elvoze (Crimson-eyed Sword Saint), Human, Sword Saint, Level??? HP??????
"F * ck! A Titled Sword Saint?! "Shifeng's heart sank when he saw the one-eyed, red-haired man.
Tier 5 existences were already existences that stood at the apex of God's Domain. Meanwhile, NPCs that had obtained titles at Tier 5 were existences akin to kings. Moreover, these NPCs had accomplished miraculous feats. Even Tier 5 monster-level experts wouldn't dare provoke these NPCs.
Only Heroes of the same tier could contend with a Titled Sword Saint. However, unlike Heroes, who possessed powerful Attributes, Titled Sword Saints relied on their frightening combat power. Rather than fighting Tier 5 Titled Powerhouses, players were more willing to fight Tier 5 Heroes.
And yet, such a VIP was actually in a Level 120 secret land like Poison City …
At this moment, let alone Shifeng, everyone else gasped. They hadn't even seen such a VIP in an empire. If they made an enemy of this VIP, they'd be dead for sure. They might even have to delete their accounts and start all over again.
However, as Shifeng hesitated over whether to retrieve Solomon's Sword's fragment, the Crimson-eyed Sword Saint turned to look at Shifeng and the others, who were hiding in a corner.
"You've been watching for a long time. Come out!" Elvoze said calmly.
As soon as Elvoze spoke, everyone felt an unprecedented pressure. Blue Rainbow, Elder Gold, and the others even prepared to turn and flee.
They knew just how frightening an NPC of this caliber was.
If this VIP was displeased, he could force players to start all over again. This wasn't the first time such a situation had occurred in the Dark World. Hence, not a single player in the Dark World dared to provoke or approach a Tier 5 NPC casually. In fact, even Tier 4 NPCs didn't dare provoke such a VIP.
"Don't move!" Shifeng suddenly shouted in the team chat.
"President Hei Yan, that's a Tier 5 NPC we're talking about …" Elder Gold said.
This wasn't an NPC city. NPCs that appeared in the fields were unpredictable. It wouldn't be surprising if they were careless and ended up in a disastrous situation.
"I know, but he's already discovered us. I'm afraid we can't escape even if we want to," Shifeng said, smiling bitterly at Elder Gold. Seeing Elder Gold's impatience, Shifeng smiled bitterly and said, "Our best choice is to go over. Don't even think about provoking a Tier 5 titled powerhouse."
Nobody in God's Domain knew better than him just how powerful a Tier 5 titled NPC was. If they were discovered, they could forget about escaping. Even Tier 5 peak experts might not necessarily be able to escape from a Tier 5 NPC.
After all, Tier 5 titled NPCs weren't Demon God's phantoms. They could only move around in one location. Moreover, they were restricted in various aspects.
Elvoze was a pure human NPC. He didn't have any restrictions or restrictions. At this distance, he'd most likely die before he could activate a teleportation gate.
"I understand." Elder Gold had no choice but to give up on running after hearing Shi Feng's words.
After all, just as Shi Feng had said, the speed of a Tier 5 NPC was no laughing matter. Even a Tier 4 NPC could fly, so how fast could Tier 3 players like themselves run?
Moreover, if they disobeyed Elvoze's command and fled, it would be the equivalent of challenging this Tier 5 Sword Saint's authority. In the end, they wouldn't fare any better than going straight to the NPC.
Following which, Shifeng led the team out of the city's alleyway and up to Elvoze.
"Greetings, Lord Sword Saint. We were exploring this secret land when we accidentally came here. Please forgive us for disturbing you," Shifeng said respectfully as he looked at Elvoze, who sat before a fountain.
"Exploring this secret land?" Elvoze laughed. His tone then turned frosty as he said, "You came here specifically for this sword, right? Tell me, who ordered you to come here? If you don't speak, you know what will happen to you! "
Killing intent!
This was the killing intent of a Tier 5 titled NPC!
As Elvoze's tone turned frosty, Shi Feng and everyone else felt an unprecedented pressure wash over them. Everyone felt as if their bodies had been filled with lead, and the chilling killing intent made it difficult for them to breathe. It was as if they had been plunged into an icy hell.
At the same time, the sound of a system notification reached Shifeng's ears. To be more precise, everyone present heard the sound of a system notification.
System: Warning! Warning!
System: You have triggered the Epic Special Event "Crimson-eyed's Wrath"!
System: You have 30 seconds to choose between defeating the Crimson-eyed Sword Saint Elvoze or accepting the punishment of death.
