On the spacious stone stage, Shifeng slowly sheathed the Abyssal Blade. He did not even look at the fallen Level 30 Berserker.
"Next," Shifeng calmly said.
The rules of the Battle Arena stated that melee combat would result in certain death. As long as one's attack struck the opponent's vital point, the opponent would lose. Even Shield Warriors with high Attack, Defense, and HP were no exception, not to mention Berserkers.
Seeing Shifeng's calm expression, those who had been dissatisfied with Shifeng immediately shut their mouths, fear filling their eyes.
Although Berserkers were not a speed-type class, defeating one in a single move was still extremely difficult. Not to mention, Shifeng was an expert who had experienced countless battles.
They were all companions, so they knew each other's strength.
Although the Berserker Shi Feng had killed with a single hit hadn't ranked among the top five, the Berserker's combat power had been above average. The fact that Shi Feng had struck the Berserker's vital point with a single hit was simply unbelievable.
"As expected of the person the Pavilion Master has chosen. You have some skill. Allow me, Gray Eagle, to spar with you."
At this time, a middle-aged man with a lean build and eagle-like eyes stepped forward from the crowd.
When everyone saw the Berserker who called himself Gray Eagle walk forward, the shock they had felt from Shifeng's attack vanished. Gray Eagle regained his former pride and confidence.
"Gray Eagle, we're counting on you. Don't let him look down on us," the others cheered.
Gray Eagle was the number one expert among them. Although he was already in his forties, his sharp techniques and rich combat experience were not something ordinary youths could compare to.
"I'll do my best." Gray Eagle nodded abruptly. He then slowly walked up to Shifeng.
Meanwhile, in the spectator stands, Feng Qianyu smiled.
"Previously, we had not seen Hei Yan's true strength. Now that Gray Eagle is here, we should be able to see his bottom line," Feng Qianyu said, smiling as he watched Shifeng's previous battle.
"Miss, Gray Eagle is one of the top experts in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. Aside from Martial Dragon, who is a youth of the Guild, he is confident of defeating everyone else in the Guild. Why can't he beat Hei Yan? "Ling Xiang was shocked when she heard this.
Ling Xiang felt that Feng Qianyu had overestimated the strength of the Shifeng.
She had been distracted earlier and did not see the scene of Shifeng drawing his sword. But now, she watched the replay. Shifeng's sword wasn't so fast that it couldn't be blocked. It was just that the Berserker wasn't able to react in time and was hit in a vital spot. It was a one-hit kill.
However, Gray Eagle was different. His combat experience was many times greater than the others. Even if Shifeng's attacks became sharper, they wouldn't pose a threat to the experienced Gray Eagle.
"You'll know once you take a look."
Feng Qianyu naturally knew of Grey Eagle's prowess. According to her original plan, she had intended to have Grey Eagle lead the battle team. If not for Hei Yan clearing the Hell Mode of the Ruins of the Crow God, she would not have come here to look for Shifeng.
Just as Feng Qianyu finished speaking, the battle arena's countdown ended.
"Let me see how strong you are." Grey Eagle unsheathed his greatsword. His eyes suddenly turned cold. It was as if even the surrounding air had turned cold. Nothing could escape his eyes.
Before the Shifeng could move, Grey Eagle slashed at Xiang Shifeng's shoulder.
Grey Eagle's attack was not fast. On the contrary, it was very slow. An ordinary player could block it. Or rather, it was as if Grey Eagle was luring others to block it.
Moreover, Grey Eagle's attack was very vicious. He aimed for a vital spot, forcing others to block or dodge.
If one did not block and attacked Grey Eagle's vital spot … In the end, both sides would suffer great losses.
One could say that Grey Eagle was sacrificing himself.
At this moment, those familiar with Grey Eagle smiled. They all knew that Grey Eagle wasn't going all out. Instead, he was using this attack to find his opponent's weakness.
Experts generally did not have any weaknesses. They would only reveal their greatest weakness during the instant they attacked. Hence, Grey Eagle was luring Shifeng into revealing his weakness. Grey Eagle would then attack that weakness. Although Grey Eagle would also reveal his weakness, he could rely on his superior perception and rich combat experience to suppress his opponent.
In other words, he was luring his opponent to his strong point. Hence, many of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's top-tier experts were no match for Grey Eagle.
"Going all out?" Shifeng laughed. "You'll be at a disadvantage if you do that."
In the next moment, Shifeng took the initiative to meet the purple-black greatsword. He did not even bother using his sword to block the attack.
"He's crazy!" Grey Eagle could not believe his eyes when he saw Shifeng's crazy actions. "Does he think I'll hold back? Or is he trying to dodge my attack at a critical moment? "
Grey Eagle had plenty of combat experience. Since Shifeng was not crazy, then the only possibility was that he wanted to dodge his attack at a critical moment and use it to attack his weakness.
"You're looking down on me too much."
Grey Eagle's expression turned cold. He increased the strength in his hand, causing his greatsword's speed to increase. At such a short distance, it was impossible for his opponent to dodge.
He swung his greatsword.
The greatsword pierced through Shifeng's body.
"This is!" Grey Eagle watched in disbelief as his greatsword slashed across Shifeng's face. He had only struck an afterimage.
"What's going on?" Ling Xiang's mouth was wide open. No matter how she looked at it, the greatsword was about to hit Shifeng. However, for some reason, the greatsword was only one meter away. The greatsword, which was three meters long, did not seem long enough. It was actually just a hair away from touching Shifeng.
Feng Qianyu narrowed her beautiful eyes. With a serious expression, she said, "Retreating in order to advance. I never thought that Hei Yan had already reached such a realm."
"Retreating in order to advance? How did he learn it?" Ling Xiang was shocked when she heard Shi Feng's words.
By retreating in order to advance, one would appear to be retreating, but in reality, the opponent would think that one was constantly attacking. However, when one actually fought, one would find that one could not touch the opponent's body. Instead, the opponent would always be in front of one's face, as if they were haunted by ghosts. It would create a lot of psychological pressure on the opponent.
Retreating in order to advance was Martial Dragon's specialty. However, the reason Martial Dragon could use such a technique was due to his Domain. He had absolute control over the outside world, which allowed him to easily execute such a combat technique.
"Could it be that he learned it from the battle with Martial Dragon? How is that possible?! Ling Xiang felt a chill run down her spine when she thought up to this point.
Grey Eagle swung his greatsword over a dozen times in a row. His attacks were swift and sharp, and ordinary players could not even block them. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not touch Shifeng. At such a close distance, if Shifeng used his greatsword, he would not be able to block the attack in time. He could only sacrifice himself to attack.
