Chapter 2136 Power of Words

After a quick glance at the approaching Swordsman, Colorful Fruit returned her attention to the enemy Berserker before her. Bright Dawns expression was tight and grim as if he were looking at an absolute monster. He completely ignored her, his gaze glued to that distant Swordsman.

Her enemys intense reaction confused Colorful Fruit.

Whats going on?

Who is that guy?

She wasnt the only one confused. Late Autumn, who commanded Purple Shadows members from some distance away, was just as shocked by this turn of events.

Based on the strength Bright Dawn had revealed thus far, Late Autumn was certain the man was a monster on the battlefield. He even suspected that Bright Dawn could annihilate every Purple Shadow member here by himself.

Yet, such a monster clearly feared the Swordsman who had just arrived.

Moreover, Bright Dawn wasnt the only person to react like this. Starlinks other members wore the same grim expressions, all of them staring at the approaching Swordsman.

Black Flame! What are you doing here!? Bright Dawn demanded frostily.

At this point, Bright Dawns hatred for the player known as Black Flame was immeasurable.

He had made the difficult decision to abandon Unyielding Soul, joining Starlink as one of its Vice Guild Leaders. He had wanted to make himself more important to Lu Xingluo by sabotaging Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperors plans to secure the Traveling Bard hidden class, but Black Flame had single-handedly ruined his. In the end, Starlink had gained far fewer Traveling Bards than its competition.

Lu Xingluo had been disappointed in his failure and refused to assign Bright Dawn any notable tasks for some time.

Now, after a long list of arduous tasks, trying to earn the responsibility of the Ancient Undead Countrys management, Bright Dawn, once again, encountered Black Flame.

His recollection of this mans strength was still crystal clear. He couldnt forget it if he tired. After all, Black Flame had defeated Sword Demon in the battle for White River Citys Auction House.

Although Sword Demon was quite old, he was a bona fide monster, far stronger than Bright Dawn. There were less than a handful of experts that could rival the old mans strength.

What? Am I not allowed here? Shi Feng asked, smiling as he swept a glance over Starlinks agitated members.

Bright Dawn expressed his exasperation in reply. If he were talking to anyone else, he wouldve attacked already. He wouldnt have bothered to trade nonsensical pleasantries. After a second to calm down, he asked once more, his tone soft, What do you want?

The Berserkers question caused Purple Shadows players to turn to Shi Feng again, gaping in shock. Late Autumn felt particularly tongue-tied. He couldnt believe this was happening.

Bright Dawn was a peak expert, earning the Undead Sword title[l]. He was famous for his ruthlessness, and he never let an enemy escape with their life. He never negotiated, either.

Take their Purple Shadow adventurer team, for example. Despite ranking among the top adventurer teams in the Dark Night Empire, Bright Dawn had attacked without hesitation.

Yet, this vicious man was pausing mid-battle to converse with Shi Feng. It was unbelievable.

Commander, who is this Black Flame? Hes so amazing! Colorful Fruit whispered through the team chat.

Alone, Shi Feng was strong enough to still Bright Dawns expert team with fear.

These Starlink experts didnt even show Unyielding Soul or Crimson Emperors experts any respect in the Dark Night Empire.

Ive heard of Black Flame before. I think hes Zero Wings Guild Leader, the Guild that previously helped the Hundred Flowers Palace. Black Flame himself ranks among the top 50 on the Gods Domain Experts List. He stands at the very peak of Gods Domain, Late Autumn explained what he knew. I hadnt expected an expert like him to show up in a place like this.

Top 50 on the Gods Domain Experts List? Its no wonder why Bright Dawn seems so afraid! Realization dawned on Colorful Fruit.

She barely ranked among the top 100 in the Dark Night Empires overall combat power ranks. Naturally, shed be considered quite powerful in any kingdom or empire, but on the full scale of Gods Domain, her strength was nothing.

Although the Gods Domain Experts List focused on players public achievements, it did reflect a portion of the players strength.

Those who could rank among the top 50 would likely be some of the strongest players in the Dark Night Empire. Although Bright Dawn was quite powerful, he definitely couldnt rank at the top of the empire.

If Bright Dawn could hear Colorful Fruits thoughts, hed likely vomit blood.

If his opponent had merely ranked among the top 50 on the Gods Domain Experts List, he wouldnt have been so afraid. In fact, hed gladly take any of those experts over this Swordsman.

I want this Boss and that Dark-Gold Treasure Chest, Shi Feng calmly replied, glancing at the Level 69 Grand Lord, which only had 18% of its total HP remaining, and the treasure chest behind it.

The Purple Shadow members jaws nearly hit the ground when they heard Shi Fengs demand.

Is this guy insane?

Shi Feng actually intended to steal the Boss and its treasure by himself. Even arrogance had a limit. And he had just demanded this from one of Starlinks Vice Guild Leaders

Most importantly, they were currently in Starlinks territory. With just a quick call, Bright Dawn could likely summon a large number of reinforcements. More of his Guilds peak experts would probably answer his call, as well.

Shi Feng might be stronger than Bright Dawn, but could he take on three or five peak experts simultaneously?

This guy is way too reckless. Were still in the Psychedelic Forest; Starlinks fortress isnt the far away. If Bright Dawn calls in reinforcements, none of us will escape, Late Autumn thought to himself, watching Shi Feng with an exasperated expression.

All fortresses could teleport players across long distances, even in the Ancient Undead Country. The Psychedelic Forest wasnt that far from Starlinks fortress; a single teleport would be enough for players to reach the forests edge.

Furthermore, plenty of Starlinks expert teams were operating in the area. If Shi Feng truly angered Starlink, he wouldnt have a snowballs chance in hell of leaving the forest alive.

Late Autumn and his team had already prepared themselves for utter annihilation when they had decided to stay and fight the Boss, despite Bright Dawns team trying to steal the kill. As long as they could claim the Bosss loot and the treasure chest it guarded, their deaths would be worth the effort.

However, it was a different story for Shi Feng. Shi Feng was an apex expert in Gods Domain. One of his lives was likely worth more than a Grand Lords loot and a Dark-Gold Treasure Chest.

As Purple Shadows members expected a fight to break out between Shi Feng and Bright Dawn, the Berserker sheathed his white-bone greatsword.

Since Guild Leader Black Flame wants this bounty, well leave out of respect. Lets go! Bright Dawn said before turning to leave, not even sparing the Boss and treasure chest a second glance.

Starlinks members promptly withdrew from their fights with Purple Shadows members and retreated from the battlefield, following their commander.

In less than 15 seconds, all of Starlinks members had left the area, the speed and decisive nature of their withdrawal stunning the adventurer team players.
