Killing Shadow, evolve to Ancient-Grade!

From the White-haired Old Woman's perspective, she could naturally see Qin Feng's stealth state.

Moreover, she could also see the status of Qin Feng's skill activations.

After all, her identity was that of the butler of the Ancient God Temple, so her abilities were certainly extraordinary. Even if she couldn't match Asha Hess's level, seeing through Qin Feng's stealth would definitely be no problem.

In her field of vision…

The moment the Diamond-level BOSS Death Nation monsters were generated, even before they hit the ground, Qin Feng had already raised his hand and attacked!

He simply raised his hand and unleashed 'Thousand Blade Strike', instantly obliterating the BOSS!

"A level 30 Diamond BOSS has a base HP of over 40 million."

"A single skill burst of over 400,000… and judging by the number of attacks from his Thousand Blade Strike, his Agility is around four or five thousand?"

"How is that possible?"

The White-haired Old Woman looked as if she'd seen a ghost.

A normal level 30 player, an Assassin who primarily stacks Agility, would be considered high with seven or eight hundred!

Even with a full set of Epic-grade or Legendary equipment, it would at most be a little over a thousand!

This Agility of four or five thousand, resulting in over eighty slashes from one Thousand Blade Strike, completely exceeded the White-haired Old Woman's imagination!

Given her level, she could easily calculate just how high Qin Feng's damage amplification was… She wasn't unfamiliar with such high damage amplification, but it simply shouldn't appear on a level 30 player!

"Interesting, interesting…"

"It seems I underestimated this Blue Star Civilization player."

The White-haired Old Woman revealed a smile: "Not only is his damage high, but his skill cooldowns are also very fast, allowing him to completely handle every generated Diamond BOSS… I wonder what your damage limit is?"

Currently, Qin Feng had only consecutively one-shot five Diamond BOSSes.

At most, using Graceful Liberation, Thousand Blade Strike, and Instant Extinction, he had burst out four or five hundred million damage.

In the White-haired Old Woman's view, after the tenth BOSS, this little fellow from the Blue Star Civilization might soon be unable to one-shot the BOSSes.

…

As for Qin Feng, he was easily and happily dealing with the Diamond BOSSes spawning before him.

Each time he killed a target, he could gain 1200 or 1400 evolution points!

"My Shadow Blade can steal the target's buffs."

"But the enhancement states on these BOSSes cannot be stolen, not even dispelled…"

Qin Feng felt a bit regretful.

However, he knew that these enhancement states were not the BOSS's own abilities.

They came from the Ancient God, or rather, the Ancient God's butler.

They were bestowed by that White-haired Old Woman, so it was normal that Qin Feng's Mythic 'Shadow Blade' skill alone couldn't transfer the buffs to himself.

"The sixth Diamond BOSS!"

"Indeed, its HP is 248 million."

"Continue the one-shot."

At this stage, Qin Feng couldn't one-shot it with a single skill alone. He still had to rely on Graceful Liberation, followed by Thousand Blade Strike and Instant Extinction to burst it down.

But under his 'Thieving Hand of the Saint', he could steal 20% of the BOSS's total attributes each time!

Although it couldn't stack, it would take effect with the highest value.

This slowly brought Qin Feng's Agility attribute to the level of five thousand points!

This increased his attack speed and skill casting speed to an extremely fast level!

Including the 72% skill casting speed bonus from his new Legendary ring…

Qin Feng's full set of skills took at most 0.2 seconds to cast!

However, what surprised Qin Feng a bit was that the gray giant tree before him seemed to be an intelligent existence.

As Qin Feng continuously one-shot the Diamond BOSSes it 'produced', the subsequent BOSSes, upon being generated, instinctively tried to Evade!

Moreover, the BOSSes generated by the giant tree also began to appear with some targeted affixes and passive properties.

For example…

Having a natural 80-90% Evasion rate!

Causing nearly half of Qin Feng's attacks to be Evaded!

Or for example…

Upon landing, immediately using a Shadow Clone skill, creating four or five BOSS figures, making Qin Feng's Thousand Blade Strike unable to cover all targets simultaneously!

And also for example…

The newly produced Diamond BOSSes mostly released area-of-effect attack skills, attempting to kill Qin Feng!

Or they would move quickly upon landing, trying to avoid Qin Feng's 'Thousand Blade Strike'.

Thousand Blade Strike was Qin Feng's main damage-dealing skill currently on display. Since its attack range was relatively short, as long as the speed was fast enough, dodging it wasn't difficult.

Even though Qin Feng had the Legendary ring 'Elemental Burst Power', which increased skill range by 199%, Thousand Blade Strike only went from attacking a 1-meter range to attacking a 2.99-meter range…

Fortunately, Qin Feng's speed was fast enough. He could accurately gauge the target's movement trajectory, time his skill release precisely, and still manage to one-shot it!

This relied on the combat habits and experience Qin Feng had cultivated over a long time.

If it were someone else, even with the same attributes and skills, they couldn't achieve the same fluidity as him…

As for other affixes like Evasion, they only allowed the BOSS to survive an extra second or two under Qin Feng's hands.

Thus.

The ninth!

The tenth!

The eleventh!

When the BOSS's HP reached around four to five hundred million, Qin Feng could no longer one-shot the BOSS with just this set of skills.

Just as the White-haired Old Woman thought Qin Feng had reached his limit, suddenly…

Killing Shadow!

Qin Feng directly created Shadow Clones around him!

Whoosh!

Graceful Liberation + Thousand Blade Strike + Instant Extinction.

Once again, he one-shot the twelfth Diamond BOSS. Its HP exceeded five hundred million, but before Qin Feng, it still couldn't survive for more than 0.2 seconds!

"Shadows?"

"How can he create so many shadows?"

The White-haired Old Woman was once again shocked!

A normal Killing Shadow only had one shadow, but now…

Qin Feng's Killing Shadow actually had five shadows. Combined with his own damage, that was six times the damage!

The most terrifying thing was…

Normally, the shadow of Killing Shadow couldn't move. For a BOSS, with a bit of intelligence, it could easily avoid its attack range.

But now…

Qin Feng's stealthy Shadow Clones could actually move along with him!

And this was naturally because…

Qin Feng had just killed over a dozen Diamond BOSSes, harvesting over ten thousand evolution points in one wave.

He directly consumed 5000 of them to evolve the 'Killing Shadow' skill from Mythic to Ancient-Grade!

——

[Killing Shadow (Mythic → Ancient-Grade): Assassin skill. Create a Shadow Clone, lasting 7→10 seconds. While the Shadow Clone exists, it will release the same skills as the main body, dealing 100% damage. Cooldown 48→30 (4.87) seconds. Required Level: 30]

[…]

[Ancient-Grade New Effect: Can simultaneously create five Shadow Clones, and the Shadow Clones can move along with the user.]

——

Although after the skill reached Ancient-Grade, its current cooldown was now lower than its duration.

But obviously, if the skill was cast again while the shadows were still active, the new Shadow Clones would replace the old ones, so it wouldn't result in Qin Feng creating more than five Shadow Clones…

"A bit of a shame, can't create dozens of Shadow Clones."

"However, the Ancient-Grade Killing Shadow's clones can move, which solves this skill's biggest weakness!"
