When the results of Gentle Snow's battle were announced, the players throughout the Starmoon Kingdom went into an uproar.
Many male players were even conquered by Gentle Snow's valiant demeanor. They all thought of applying to join Ouroboros to get closer to Gentle Snow.
"She won, just like that?" Purple Eye could not calm her heart as she watched Gentle Snow's victory on the screen.
Yet, in a situation where their Strength was roughly equal, Gentle Snow, an expert with deep attainments in the Refinement Realm, had actually lost to her. She simply could not wrap her head around this situation.
"It seems that the Blackwater Consortium has thoroughly embarrassed themselves this time. If everyone finds out that the Blackwater Consortium intends to occupy Ouroboros and chase Gentle Snow away, the Blackwater Consortium will have a hard time surviving in the Starmoon Kingdom. Although Gentle Snow is an enemy, I really have to thank her for this." Galaxy Past was also shocked by Gentle Snow's display of strength. "There will be a good show to watch in the coming days."
Ouroboros and the Star Alliance were old rivals. Originally, Galaxy Past had thought that Ouroboros's strength had been greatly reduced due to Cao Chenghua's issue, and Galaxy Past could take advantage of this opportunity to suppress Ouroboros. However, Ling Yi had appeared as an ally of Ouroboros. Not only had Ouroboros failed to suppress Ouroboros, but Ouroboros had even surpassed the Star Alliance.
Now that the Blackwater Consortium had acquired Ouroboros, Galaxy Past had never imagined that Gentle Snow would make such a move. Perhaps, a new Ouroboros would emerge soon.
Currently, the Starmoon Kingdom was much more lively than before. Aside from the Blackwater Consortium, there was also the Sky Burial Society, which had recently been in the limelight. The Sky Burial Society even showed signs of vying for the title of Starmoon City's number one Guild. If not for the Star Alliance agreeing to the Secret Pavilion's investment, the Sky Burial Society would most likely struggle to survive in Starmoon City.
"Boss Gale, are we going to take action here?" a Level 39 Ranger beside Lethal Gale asked worriedly as he scanned his surroundings.
Even the weakest NPC in the Divine Colosseum was a Level 200, Tier 2 player. Furthermore, there were also Tier 3 players patrolling the area.
With so many NPCs standing guard, as long as they took action, these NPCs could easily kill them.
Although someone had successfully killed one of King's Return's upper echelons in the Divine Colosseum, forcing King's Return to offer an astronomical bounty, that person's performance wasn't something that just anyone could accomplish. Currently, the majority of players had already treated that person as a legend, and they respectfully referred to him as the Frost Eye Killer.
Quite a few superpowers had even tried to contact Frost Eye in secret, hoping that he'd kill some of the other powers' upper echelons for them.
God's Domain's superpowers had no lack of experts. Logically, they should've been able to dispatch their own members to deal with this situation. Yet, in the end, they still had to hire Frost Eye's help.
Why is that?
It was precisely because these superpowers were incapable of doing so that they were willing to pay such a high price.
Although they were experts in the Blackwater Consortium, they were still no match for the Blackwater Consortium's peak experts. If they wished to kill a player in the Divine Colosseum, there was an 80% chance that the surrounding guards would kill them before they could kill Gentle Snow.
"This definitely isn't a good place to take action. It won't be too late to take action after they leave the Divine Colosseum," Lethal Blade said. After observing the guard party a short distance away from Gentle Snow, Lethal Gale immediately dismissed any thoughts of taking action. "When we take action, Stone and Tooth, you two will cooperate with me. Everyone else, pin down the NPCs. With Gentle Snow's current condition, the three of us should be able to take her down in two hits."
The others nodded in agreement. They then began to simulate an assassination plan in their minds.
Stone and Tooth were both Level 39 Assassins. The Assassin class specialized in ambushes. If an Assassin successfully ambushed a Berserker, the Berserker would have a 60% to 70% chance of dying, instantly losing close to 50% of their HP. If two Assassins worked together, a Berserker of the same level would have no chance of surviving. They'd kill the Berserker instantly.
Now that they had a Berserker as the main DPS and pin down the NPCs, the Berserker would die instantly.
Furthermore, Stone and Tooth were top-ranking Assassin experts in the Blackwater Consortium. They had already reached the Refinement Realm, and they were only slightly weaker than Lethal Gale. Even if they had the same Attributes as Gentle Snow, they could defeat her in a one-on-one, not to mention now that she was in a Weakened state. If the three of them worked together, killing the Swordsman would be a piece of cake.
"Guild Leader Snow really is amazing. I never thought that she would hold back. Lethal Gale defeated the 354th ranked peak expert on the God's Domain Experts List. With this, Guild Leader Snow's ranking will likely rise significantly." Shifeng, more or less, understood why so many experts had fallen at the Swordsman's hands when he saw Gentle Snow walking towards him.
Others might not have been able to see the battle's final moments clearly, but he had.
At the final moment, Gentle Snow's control over her body's strength had reached the Minute Refinement Realm. Hence, she had been able to control the six incomparably powerful sword lights, accurately striking Lethal Gale. Otherwise, with Lethal Gale's skills, he would've been able to dodge most of the six sudden sword lights. If that had happened, Gentle Snow's victory would've been different.
Gentle Snow had not received any guidance, and she had only been in God's Domain for a short time. Moreover, she had to manage the massive Ouroboros.
Even so, Gentle Snow had still managed to reach the Refinement Realm. Her talent was truly monstrous.
Shi Feng had only reached his current level after ten years of combat experience in God's Domain. He had also had many fortuitous encounters, insights, and guidance.
Even Violet Cloud, who had received his careful guidance, had only recently reached the Refinement Realm. As for Shiuse Qiangwei, he had yet to reach the Refinement Realm. However, Shi Feng believed that Shiuse Qiangwei would reach the Refinement Realm very quickly after entering the simulation training system.
"I was just lucky," Gentle Snow shook her head. She did not show any joy of victory on her face. Instead, she felt even more worried. Currently, the Blackwater Consortium had yet to officially enter God's Domain, yet it had sent out an expert like Lethal Gale. Now that the Blackwater Consortium had officially entered God's Domain and confirmed that it would develop in the Starmoon Kingdom, the problems she would face in the future would not be as easy as she imagined.
"Now that the competition is over, it seems that Guild Leader Snow hasn't come looking for me just to trade those rare herbs and ores, right?" Shifeng said, smiling.
"I do indeed have other matters to discuss. However, this is not the place for that. Why don't we go to the high-class restaurant below to talk?" Gentle Snow nodded. She did not hide her intentions for visiting Shi Feng. She still had plenty of resources on hand that she could sell. Only, ordinary people would not be able to purchase such a large amount of resources within a short time. In her opinion, since Shifeng could consume all the rare herbs and ores, he should have no problems consuming other resources as well.
"Let's go, then." Shifeng also felt that this was not a good place to talk. Currently, everyone's attention was on them. It would be too eye-catching if they left.
Following Shifeng and Gentle Snow's exit from the Divine Colosseum, Lethal Gale's party followed closely behind.
Although there were guards patrolling the streets of White River City, they were quite a distance away from each other. Moreover, the levels of the guards on the streets were far inferior to the guards in the Divine Colosseum. Seizing the opportunity, Lethal Gale stealthily approached Gentle Snow. Meanwhile, Stone and Shattered Tooth had long since gone into Stealth.
When Lethal Gale was less than 30 yards away from Gentle Snow, he used Charge and dashed towards the Berserker.
"Guild Leader Snow, I'm truly sorry. Today, you must die here," Lethal Gale sneered. He then raised his greatsword and used the killing move, Cross Slash, on the weakened Gentle Snow.
At the same time, two black figures suddenly emerged from both sides of Gentle Snow, four snow-white daggers silently stabbing towards Gentle Snow's blind spots.
Gentle Snow's expression immediately darkened. She had never thought that Lethal Gale would actually lose his mind. He actually dared to attack her on the streets of White River City. The punishment he would receive was no laughing matter.
However, even though Gentle Snow knew that Lethal Gale was charging towards her, there was nothing she could do. While in a weakened state, her Attributes had decreased by 80 points for five hours. With only 20 points of Attributes, she was no match for Lethal Gale. Not to mention, there were still two expert Assassins that she had failed to detect.
Just as one greatsword and four daggers were about to land on Gentle Snow's body, a deep voice suddenly entered everyone's ears.
"The almighty Blackwater Consortium really is a sore loser. Are you in such a hurry to regain your face?"
As soon as the voice ended, five blue sword lights suddenly appeared around Gentle Snow.
Peng! Peng!
Five crisp sounds of metal clashing echoed throughout the street. Lethal Gale and the other two were sent flying by six yards.
"Who are you? You dare interfere with the Blackwater Consortium's business?" Lethal Gale's expression darkened as he looked at the cloaked Swordsman, a hint of fear appearing in his eyes.
In a battle between experts, a single exchange was all it took to determine the opponent's strength.
The Swordsman before him was definitely not the slightest bit weaker than him.
Yet, this Swordsman had blocked all three of their attacks with a single move. This was not something an ordinary expert could accomplish.
"Who am I? This is White River City! You dare take action in my territory, yet you still ask me who I am?" Shifeng chuckled as he glanced at Lethal Gale and the other two. He then removed his Black Cloak.
"Ye Feng!"
Gentle Snow was shocked when she saw the figure beneath the Black Cloak.
Although she had felt that Shifeng looked somewhat familiar when she first met him, that was only familiarity. There was no telling where she had met him before.
Now that she saw Shifeng, all her questions were answered.
When it came to wealth, who in the entire Starmoon Kingdom could compare to the Ling YI Society?
"So, you're the Ling YI Society's Ye Feng. This is a problem between the Blackwater Consortium and Ouroboros. I advise you to mind your own business, or it will be too late for regrets." Lethal Gale's expression turned indescribably ugly when he heard Shifeng's name.
Practically everyone participating in the Dark Arena knew of Ye Feng's name.
Even with Stone and Shattered Tooth's help, it was impossible for him to defeat Ye Feng. Now, he could only threaten Ye Feng with the Blackwater Consortium's name.
