Quirrell's lips twitched when he saw his comrade turn to ash. This large-scale destruction Spell had come too suddenly.
It was obvious that Shifeng had locked onto their range the moment he had approached them. His question had only been a bait to lure them into surrounding him so that he could wipe them out in one fell swoop.
With such a sudden attack, they had no time to dodge.
If he had not been at the edge of the attack's range and had not activated Wind Steps, taking advantage of the temporary invulnerability granted him to charge out of the flames, he would have most likely suffered the same fate as the others.
"Leader, what should we do?" a Level 37 Elementalist asked quietly.
"Retreat!" Quirrell said, gritting his teeth. Although he was very unwilling, the man before him had already killed Ordinary Stranger and Thunder Tiger. With just the five of them remaining, they had no hope of defeating him.
Previously, they had eighteen people. They had enough manpower to activate the magic array to suppress their opponent. Now, however, they could no longer do so. If they continued fighting, they would only get team-wiped.
"You want to leave? Not so fast."
Shifeng's lips curled up slightly as he watched Quirrell and the others slowly move away from him. He then dashed towards the Level 37 Elementalist closest to him.
Previously, these people had already used their Lifesaving Skills in order to escape from the Firestorm. It would be very difficult for them to escape now.
"Don't hold back against him. I'll pin him down. Ranged players, support him." Quirrell hurriedly activated his Berserk Skill, increasing his Attributes by a large margin. He then used Shadow Steps and appeared behind the Shifeng. The pitch-black dagger in his hand was like a sharp tooth as he bit towards the Shifeng's heart.
Absolute Strike!
This was the fastest and most powerful Skill an Assassin had. In addition to Quirrell's fluid movements, his Shadow Steps and Absolute Strike were executed almost instantaneously. It was impossible to guard against.
Moreover, after Quirrell activated his Berserk Skill, both his speed and power were not something players could casually block.
The Elementalist a short distance away also used Fireball, sending one Fireball after another towards Xiang Shifeng's position. His coordination with Quirrell was flawless.
Meanwhile, the Ranger on the other side had long since readied himself. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Ranger fired several Frost Arrows, all of which were aimed at Shi Feng's vital points. Once Shi Feng activated a Lifesaving Skill to block the attacks, the Ranger would deal damage to Shi Feng.
Even Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo, who rarely fought with other players, could see the trio's teamwork clearly. Anxiety appeared on their pale faces.
Shifeng suddenly disappeared, and the attacks of Quirrell and the others all missed.
"Where is he?" Quirrell hurriedly looked at his surroundings. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he hurriedly shouted at the distant Elementalists, "Dodge!"
At this moment, Shifeng had already used Silent Steps to appear behind the Elementalist. He then abruptly swung Killing Ray.
A green light flashed.
Clang!
Although the green light was fast, when it landed on the Elementalist's body, it was as if it had struck an indestructible metal.
"Ice Barrier!" Shifeng was slightly surprised when he saw the ice that had formed around the Elementalist's body. At this moment, the Elementalist looked like an ice sculpture. Ice Barrier was the strongest Lifesaving Skill of an Elementalist. It gave the Elementalist invulnerability for eight seconds. However, after activating it, the Elementalist would not be able to do anything. Even so, this Skill was extremely rare. Out of 100 expert Elementalists, only one or two would have learned it.
Helpless against this situation, Shifeng could only shift his target to someone else.
However, as soon as Shifeng's gaze swept over the Elementalist, a green magic array suddenly appeared above his head. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and from a distance, Quirrell revealed a sneer.
This Skill was none other than the Tier 2 Magic Scroll, Thunder Prison. Not only did the Skill cause frightening damage to a certain area, but it could also restrict everyone within the Skill's range from using any Skills. It was a Magic Scroll specifically targeted at experts.
"Die!" Quirrell roared in excitement, causing the lightning to descend.
Boom … Boom … Boom …
Streaks of green lightning descended one after another, transforming the area within 20 yards into a world of lightning. No player could survive within this world of lightning. Only the Elementalists who had activated Ice Barrier beforehand could remain unscathed.
"Hahaha! Team Leader is still the best! It seems that this person is only so-so!" the distant Ranger laughed complacently as he watched the world of lightning.
Players were destined to be players. Even if their Attributes and combat standards were extremely high, these were not the only things one could rely on in a field battle. External tools were also crucial in determining a battle's outcome.
Although a Tier 2 Magic Scroll could not kill a Chieftain of the same Level, if a player could not use any Skills, their pitiful HP would not be able to withstand the destructive power of a Tier 2 Magic Scroll.
At this moment, Quirrell breathed a sigh of relief. Although Shifeng's Silent Steps had surprised him, nobody would have expected him to possess a Magic Scroll that targeted expert players. Only, this Magic Scroll required a certain amount of time to prepare. Coincidentally, the Elementalist had bought him a lot of time.
"Alright, all that's left is to deal with you guys." Quirrell then shifted his gaze towards the distant Thoughtful Rain.
"Ah!"
The Ranger, who had been somewhat pleased with himself, suddenly let out a scream. Several streaks of blue light blossomed from his body as he collapsed to the ground, dropping a piece of equipment.
"How did you escape?" Quirrell's eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when he looked towards the Ranger. He suddenly discovered that Shifeng was actually standing behind the dead Ranger, completely unharmed.
"Do you think you're the only ones with Magic Scrolls?" Shifeng curled his lips as he picked up the dropped equipment.
Thunder Prison's appearance had indeed given Quirrell a fright. Fortunately, he carried plenty of Magic Scrolls with him whenever he went out. It was especially true for the Instantaneous Movement Scrolls, which were the best lifesavers. Although the Instantaneous Movement Scrolls had a Cooldown of ten minutes, they could be used immediately as long as he unfurled them.
"Just who are you? Why are you targeting us? "Quirrell asked, his complexion ashen.
However, despite Quirrell's question, Quirrell did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he had the two stealthed Assassins circle around Quirrell's back.
The two stealthed Assassins nodded. They then carefully approached Shi Feng, one step at a time. Both of them were experts, and they could easily blend their footsteps into their surroundings. Even a top-tier expert would have a hard time discovering them while in Stealth.
"Trying to attract my attention?" Shifeng shook his head and laughed. He then abruptly turned around and used Thundering Flash.
Several arcs of electricity flew past. Suddenly, two figures emerged from the arcs of electricity. They were none other than the two stealthed Assassins. At this moment, the two Assassins collapsed to the ground, deader than dead.
At the start of the battle, Shifeng had used Omniscient Eyes. Hence, he had seen the two Assassins, who had used Vanish after the start of the battle, trying to ambush him. Previously, he had only pretended not to see them. However, now that these two Assassins had delivered themselves to his doorstep, how could he possibly let them go?
"You …" Quirrell's complexion turned indescribably gloomy when he saw this scene.
"Alright, you're the only one left now," Shifeng said in a low tone.
"Only me?" Quirrell was confused. There was clearly an Elementalist present. Why would Shi Feng say that he was the only one left?
In the next moment, a crimson flying needle appeared in Shifeng's hand. He then casually tossed the needle at the frozen Elementalist.
Flame God's Roar!
The instant the Ice Barrier disappeared, before the Elementalist could react, the Blazing Meteor appeared before him. The Elementalist's grasp of timing was impeccable. Unable to dodge in time, the Elementalist was devoured by the Blazing Meteor.
"Just who are you?" Quirrell asked in horror as he looked at Shifeng.
He had set up so many traps. Even the Guild's apex experts had fallen to his schemes. Yet, before Shifeng, it was as if everything was under his control. Thinking up to this point, Quirrell felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness.
"Do you have any last words?" Shifeng did not answer Quirrell's question. Instead, he walked towards Quirrell step by step, asking softly.
With every step Shifeng took, Quirrell could not help but take a step back.
Quirrell's Attributes were clearly higher after activating his Berserk Skill. However, the two sides' auras were completely different. Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo, who watched from a distance, were stupefied.
"We are the Falcon Legion of King's Return! Do you wish to make an enemy out of King's Return?" Quirrell asked, gnashing his teeth in panic.
He did not wish to die. The Guild Class Challenge Competition was about to begin. If he died now, his Level, equipment, and Skill Proficiency would all fall by a large margin. How would he perform well in the competition then?
Now, he had no choice but to reveal his identity.
The reason they had concealed their identities before was to prevent their target from discovering them. This would allow Ling Yi's people to be on guard against them, making their subsequent operations much easier. Now that their target was dead, there was naturally no need to hide their identities.
Moreover, the more powerful an expert was, the more they would know how powerful a Super Guild was. Now that he had spoken so clearly, the other party would be foolish to take action.
