Chapter 1724 Power of the Sacred Sword

After Shi Feng disconnected the call, he left the War Gods Temple and used a Guild Transfer Scroll to teleport to Zero Wing City. He then used the Four Towers of Elements teleportation function to travel to the Orc Empire, making his way towards the Primordial Divine Ruin.

There are still Evil Demons here? Currently, Shi Feng wore his Black Cloak, keeping his identity hidden. As he approached the wilderness near the Primordial Divine Ruin, he frowned at what he saw.

He spotted Level 70-plus Evil Demons and Evil Beasts wandering on the grassy plain before him. There were easily over 5,000 monsters, which were even stronger than Beast Emperors Evil Beasts and Evil Demons that Zero Wing had recently fought.

Zero Wings new town had recently been constructed, so he had yet to set up a Guild Residence Teleportation Magic Array in the towns Residence. Hence, he had rushed towards the Primordial Divine Ruin to complete the towns handover procedures and set up the teleportation array.

Fellow friend, I take it that you havent visited the Orc Empire recently, huh? a Level 49 male Ranger in dark-blue leather armor, who had been passing by, approached Shi Feng and asked when he noticed the Swordsmans frown. The youth then smiled and continued, Zero Wing fought a massive battle against Beast Emperors Evil Beast and Evil Demon armies just some time ago. Although Beast Emperor was defeated and eventually forced to retreat, he didnt give up on his mission to keep Zero Wing from visiting the ruin. On the contrary, he sent a massive group of stronger Evil Beasts and Evil Demons from Ancient Rock City to surround the Primordial Divine Ruin. Now, the only way to get to the ruin is to go through the checkpoint ahead.

Checkpoint? Shi Feng asked curiously.

Thats right. It seems Beast Emperor wants to prevent Zero Wings members from sneaking into the ruin by hiding their identities. Unless players enter via the checkpoint, the Evil Beasts and Demons will attack them, the Ranger youth said, nodding. Id advise against trying to barge through just to save time. Those Evil Beasts and Evil Demons are extremely powerful. Some players, who had been displeased with the new set-up, tried to head to the ruin without passing through the checkpoint. In the end, the 100-man team was quickly destroyed. To be honest, theres no need to be in such a hurry anyway. Look, the checkpoints queue is moving relatively quickly. After all, its just there to determine whether or not players are from Zero Wing. It took us quite a bit of time and effort to get this far. A few more minutes wont really make a huge difference.

Theyre checking for Zero Wing members? Shi Feng muttered as he looked towards where the Ranger youth had pointed.

Thats right. I dont know what Zero Wing did, but it seems that the Guild really infuriated Beast Emperor. Hes already announced that he intends to fight Zero Wing to the bitter end, the Ranger youth said, nodding. So, he made this checkpoint for that purpose. Not only has Beast Emperor stationed his subordinates at the checkpoint, but there are also plenty of powerful Evil Demons there.

I see, Shi Feng muttered. He then walked straight towards Beast Emperors checkpoint.

At the end of the day, Evil Demons were monsters. As long as players wore a Black Cloak, Evil Demons couldnt determine their identities. However, players could. As long as Beast Emperors subordinates forced passing players to remove their Black Cloaks, they could determine the players identities. Although Zero Wings members could avoid discovery by hiding their Guild Emblems, doing so would seem like the Guilds players were afraid of Beast Emperor.

Fellow friend, where are you going? Thats not where the end of the line starts! the Ranger youth called out as he watched Shi Feng walk straight towards the checkpoint. If you dont follow the rules and try to skip the queue, theyll definitely kill you!

Its fine. Im the Zero Wing member theyre looking for, Shi Feng casually replied as he waved a hand.

As Shi Feng finished his statement, he accelerated and vanished.

The Zero Wing member?

Shi Fengs reply dumbfounded both the Ranger youth and his companions.

What was going on?

One of Zero Wings members actually dared to rush towards Beast Emperors checkpoint. Moreover, that member approached the checkpoint by himself! Didnt the Swordsman realize that hundreds of Evil Demons guarded the checkpoint? Beast Emperor had even stationed a Mythic ranked Evil Demon there. Such a force would even annihilate a 100-man expert team in the blink of an eye.

When the Ranger youth and his companions finally recovered from their daze, they chased after Shi Feng to stop his insane actions.

They were all independent players, and in a fight between Beast Emperor and Zero Wing, they were strong supporters of the Guild. Not only was Beast Emperors attitude overbearing, but he was also an Evil Gods Temple member who saw players as potential sacrifices. On the surface, they lacked the courage to condemn Beast Emperors actions, but inwardly, they hated him to the bone.

However, the Ranger youth and his companions were simply too slow to catch up to Shi Feng. After a few seconds of running, Shi Feng had already reached the checkpoint and had been discovered by Beast Emperors subordinates.

Who are you? Dont you realize that this is a checkpoint? Everyone must queue up and remove their Black Cloaks to pass through, a Level 50 Shield Warrior in silvery-gray armor shouted at Shi Feng.

Although Zero Wing had defeated Beast Emperors army once before, the Orc Empire was still the Evil Gods Temples territory. As Beast Emperors subordinates, even Super Guilds members had to treat them with respect.

Even a peak expert would have to lower their head in the Orc Empire!

Me? Smiling leisurely, Shi Feng responded, Im one of the people you are looking for!

Saying so, Shi Feng took a step forward. With his extraordinary Attributes, the Swordsman arrived before the Level 50 Shield Warrior in an instant. He then unsheathed Killing Ray and swung it.

Hua!

A blue flash bloomed before the Shield Warrior.

The Level 50 Shield Warrior immediately collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Even after dying, he hadnt reacted to what had just happened. When the Shield Warriors corpse hit the ground, a Level 45 Fine-Gold ranked armor piece dropped beside him.

He died?

Who is that? Hes so powerful!

Has that Swordsman lost his mind?

I think I heard that guy mention that hes a member of Zero Wing?

The thousands of players in the queue were dumbfounded by what had just happened. They couldnt believe their eyes.

Whether or not Shi Feng had told the truth about being from Zero Wing, the fact that he had killed a Level 50 Shield Warrior with a single slash was incredibly shocking.

A Level 50 Shield Warrior, even at Tier 1, would have close to 50,000 HP. Shield Warriors also had far more Defense than other classes. They had Passive Skills that reduced incoming damage, as well. Even a Great Lord of the same level couldnt instant-kill such a Shield Warrior, yet Shi Feng had accomplished exactly that

Beast Emperors 13 other subordinates a short distance away were similarly stupefied.

They had never expected someone to be foolish enough to attack the checkpoint alone. Hundreds of Evil Demons surrounded the checkpoint, including a Level 80 Mythic Evil Demon.

Even peak experts would be utterly powerless against a Mythic Evil Demon. At the very minimum, players would need a team of 1,000 experts to pin one down.

Bastard! Beast Emperors subordinates bellowed in rage when they noticed that Shi Feng had actually picked up their companions equipment and stored it.

They immediately unsheathed their weapons and charged at the offending Swordsman.

In their opinion, Shi Feng mustve used some sort of Skill to instant-kill their Shield Warrior companion, and such powerful Skills had very long Cooldowns. Shi Feng should not be able to use it again for the next several minutes.

Every one of the dozen or so subordinates at the checkpoint was a Level 50 expert. Moreover, the dead Shield Warrior only ranked among the lower half of their group in terms of strength and equipment. Even if they werent a match for Shi Feng, they could still involve the nearby Evil Demons.

However, when only 15 yards separated Shi Feng and the five melee experts, who led the charge, Shi Feng abruptly disappeared.

By the time the five melee experts realized Shi Feng was gone, he reappeared right in front of them.

No!

Finding Shi Feng before them so suddenly, the five melee experts panicked, trying to focus on full defense.

But Zero Wings top Swordsman didnt give them the opportunity to defend themselves as he brandished Killing Ray.

Shadow Blade!

Suddenly, ten sword lights, one blue and nine black, sliced at the five melee experts before they could react. The experts HP plummeted rapidly, reaching zero in a fraction of a second. All five melee experts then hit the ground simultaneously

Wait! Thats Shadow Blade! Hes Black Flame, Zero Wings Guild Leader!
