Fifth Ghost was a Tier 1 Swordsman. Compared to Sixth Ghost, who was a Berserker, he did not possess frightening Strength. However, in terms of speed, he was far superior to Sixth Ghost. ¥f,
Fifth Ghost's Triple Slash, in particular, allowed him to shift his center of gravity even faster than Sixth Ghost's. In addition, Fifth Ghost had also used Wind Blade, increasing his speed once more. Shi Feng could vaguely see a fourth afterimage behind him.
At this moment, Shifeng was focused on defending against Sixth Ghost's attacks. He had no time to pay attention to Fifth Ghost, who was behind him.
In the next moment, Fifth Ghost's sword pierced through Shifeng's back. Sneering, he said, "Brat, although you are quite strong, you are still ten years too young if you think you can fight against us, the Seven Ghosts."
"Brother Five, watch out!" Sixth Ghost suddenly shouted when he saw Fifth Ghost's smug expression.
"Huh?" Fifth Ghost immediately sensed that something was amiss. His subconscious was telling him that his life had reached a critical juncture. Immediately, he felt as if his sword had pierced through thin air. Goosebumps rose all over his body. Immediately, he activated Defensive Blade, his Lifesaving Skill, and abruptly leaped forward.
However, he was still one step too late.
Hua … Hua … Hua …
As Fifth Ghost activated his Defensive Skill and leaped forward, he felt a chilling sword aura behind him.
These sharp sword auras were none other than Shifeng, who had used Silent Steps to suddenly appear behind Fifth Ghost. If not for Fifth Ghost activating Defensive Blade, which granted him immunity to a few attacks, he would have long since become a corpse.
"Just who are they?" Shifeng frowned slightly.
He found it hard to imagine that such an expert would appear in Underworld. Moreover, he had never heard of such an expert before.
After activating Silent Steps, Shi Feng immediately brandished the Abyssal Blade. At such a close distance, as well as the momentary surprise, experts of the same level would not be able to react in time. Yet, Fifth Ghost had actually activated Defensive Blade. Only after Fifth Ghost had leaped forward did Shi Feng's sword land on Fifth Ghost's body.
In addition, Shifeng could clearly feel Fifth Ghost's power from his attack. When Sixth Ghost used Triple Slash, he could only use normal attacks; he could not use a Skill. However, Sixth Ghost could incorporate Triple Slash into his attack. The difficulty of doing so was already inconceivable. Even the current Shi Feng could not accomplish such a feat.
Moreover, he was clearly the first to attack, but he was still one step too slow.
This reminded the Shifeng of Teng She's lightning fast reaction speed. In terms of nerve signals transmission, the Five Ghosts might be as gifted as Teng She. His reaction time was less than 0.1 seconds, which was about 0.07 seconds, but Fifth Ghost was better at using it than Soaring Snake.
Originally, the Shifeng wanted to follow up with another attack. However, Sixth Ghost attacked again, and the Shifeng had no choice but to deal with it.
In such a high-speed battle, aside from special skills such as Silent Steps and Instantaneous Movement, it was extremely difficult to use offensive skills. This was because the casting speed of these skills was simply too slow. It required a fixed movement, and it could not keep up with the speed of normal attacks. Moreover, even if Six Ghosts was extremely familiar with the technique and could execute it quickly, it was very easy for the technique to go out of shape, resulting in a low Completion Rate and almost no effect. Hence, it was extremely difficult for Six Ghosts to integrate an attack technique into a combat skill.
"Brat, you're really strong. Your attributes are so strong that it's a mess. You actually have that kind of skill. I nearly fell for your trick. However, you won't have that chance anymore, "Fifth Ghost, who had recovered, turned to look at Xiang Shifeng. A hint of greed flashed in Fifth Ghost's eyes. He then took out a bottle of Haunted and drank it. He then cooperated with Six Ghosts to attack Xiang Shifeng once more.
They were already fully geared in top-tier equipment. Yet, Shifeng's Attributes still surpassed theirs. This proved that Shifeng's equipment was better than theirs. If they killed the Shifeng … If they dropped these pieces of equipment, their strength would rise to a whole new level.
Sixth Ghost continuously used Triple Slash, while Fifth Ghost launched a sneak attack from the side.
Two versus one was too disadvantageous. Hence, Shifeng did not hold back. He activated Purgatory Power, increasing his Attack Speed by 100%. He then used Void Steps and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Disappeared?"
Sixth Ghost was stunned. He then discovered that Shifeng had already appeared beside him. The Abyssal Blade was only a few centimeters away from his neck. Suddenly, his body abruptly bent.
However, blood still blossomed from his body, and a critical damage of over -3,000 points appeared above his head.
Sixth Ghost's HP immediately decreased by more than half.
Shifeng immediately followed up with another slash. If he used this move again, Sixth Ghost would die without a doubt.
However, Fifth Ghost's sword had already arrived. Moreover, Shifeng had already reacted to Sixth Ghost's slash. Sixth Ghost countered the attack with his saber. Left with no choice, Shifeng used Void Steps once more, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"So, you're Hei Yan. However, if you think you can defeat us with that footwork of yours, that is impossible." Before coming here, Fifth Ghost had borrowed Hei Yan's information from Youlan. He had also watched the battle between Hei Yan and Summer Sunshine. Hence, Fifth Ghost's memory of Void Steps was still fresh. Now that he saw Shifeng use it, he immediately recognized the technique.
In the next moment, Fifth Ghost suddenly changed the direction of his slash, turning towards an empty spot beside him.
Fifth Ghost's actions confused everyone. They did not understand why Fifth Ghost would do such a thing.
However, Fifth Ghost's actions immediately gave everyone an answer. As Fifth Ghost's slash landed, Shifeng suddenly appeared, using the Abyssal Blade to block Fifth Ghost's attack.
"He sure adapted quickly." Shifeng was slightly surprised.
Void Steps was not invincible. Shifeng was very clear on this point. Although Void Steps could cause others to ignore his existence, to those who had undergone special training, as long as they allowed their eyes to adapt a few times, they could still catch him. For people like Fifth Ghost and Sixth Ghost, it was not surprising that they could do so. However, the speed at which they adapted to Void Steps had exceeded Shifeng's expectations.
Just as Shifeng was surprised, Sixth Ghost followed up with a slash at Xiang Shifeng's back, trapping Shifeng in a pincer attack.
Shifeng had no choice but to activate Windwalk to increase his speed. In the end, he used Void Steps to retreat.
Although Fifth Ghost and Sixth Ghost could adapt to Void Steps, their eyes could not fully capture his movements. During the process, they would hesitate for a moment. Hence, Shifeng insisted on using Void Steps.
For a time, both sides entered a stalemate. Like a storm of blades, the battle engulfed the entire battlefield. The spectators were shocked. Even their eyes could not keep up with the trio's reactions.
The trio's attacks were so fast that even breathing seemed unnecessary. If they were careless, they would die.
Although Shi Feng's Attack Speed and Void Steps had significantly increased, Fifth Ghost's attacks were extremely tricky. Fifth Ghost's attacks, in particular, were extremely difficult to deal with. Fifth Ghost's attacks were always aimed at Shi Feng's blind spots. As a result, Shi Feng was forced into a passive situation. If not for Shi Feng having already reached the Refinement Realm, allowing him to accurately grasp his attacks and movements, he would've long since died.
In this high-speed battle, although Shifeng was forced into a passive position, Shifeng was enjoying himself. After his brain activity had increased, he had yet to fully grasp the sudden increase in his body's control and perception. Hence, this was the best training ground for him. Opportunities to exchange blows with such experts were extremely rare, not to mention putting him in a desperate situation. The slightest mistake would consign him to eternal damnation.
However, Fifth Ghost and Sixth Ghost's teamwork was indeed very powerful. No matter how Shifeng attacked or dodged, he could not completely block the duo's attacks. As a result, he had lost nearly half of his HP. However, under the constant barrage of attacks, Shifeng's precision continued to improve. As a result, the damage he received also decreased.
Sure enough, their attacks are sharp. At this moment, Shifeng also felt mentally exhausted.
"Die!"
Fifth Ghost seized the instant Shifeng disappeared from sight after using Void Steps and sent a Chop at Xiang Shifeng's back. There was no time for him to dodge or block the attack.
In the moment of life and death, Shifeng suddenly stopped moving.
At some point in time, Fifth Ghost's sword had actually brushed past Shifeng's body.
However, Fifth Ghost's attacks did not stop. Both Sixth Ghost and Shifeng continuously swung their swords at each other, not giving Shifeng any chance to dodge or block.
However, it was as if the duo's attacks were hitting water. No matter how hard they tried, they could not land a hit on Shifeng. It was as if Shifeng had long since known the duo's target and would always dodge the attacks beforehand.
