Shadow is seeking death, attacking an NPC on his own initiative?!

Just a short while ago.

When they were discussing the 'Ghost Spirit' that had been appearing around them recently and killing many of their people, they also mentioned 'Shadow'.

Someone said that Ghost Spirit's burst combo deals millions of damage, which might have already reached the level of 'Shadow'.

No one refuted this statement.

Some even suggested that Shadow's damage should be higher, possibly reaching tens of millions.

But now…

They discovered with disbelief that the damage from a single random 'Shadow Blade' from Shadow had actually reached 240 million?!

And this was just one Shadow Blade!

Furthermore, that Shadow Blade was terrifying enough to ricochet infinitely!

In an instant, more than ten people were bounced to death!

"Shadow Blade! This is clearly just a common Platinum-grade skill…"

"My Shadow Blade damage reaches a maximum of 24,000… so it's only one-ten-thousandth of Shadow's?!"

"Wait, the most critical thing right now isn't that, but why Shadow would appear here?"

"Baka-yarou! He must be here to snatch the NPC from us!"

"It's fine! Everyone, rest assured! The NPC Lord has stepped in to help us; we are being protected!"

"No matter how strong Shadow is, it's impossible for him to forcibly kill us in front of the NPC Lord."

"That's right, the Lord thinks very highly of Totsuka-kun. Shadow can never snatch our NPC away!"

"But, I heard rumors before that Shadow supposedly took down a Killing Executioner in India…"

"Brother, you actually believe that? What level is a Killing Executioner? How could one die at the hands of a player?"

…

The players of the KEY Guild were divided into two groups.

One group was at the scene of the Buried Bone Trench, consisting of the remaining 47 people, including that young musician 'Totsuka'.

The other group consisted of the players who were not at the scene.

At this moment, the players on site were startled at first, but they soon realized that the remaining survivors were protected by the NPC, and they instantly regained their confidence.

"Quick, look for him! Find where Shadow is!"

"Stop looking. We can't even see through that Ghost Spirit's stealth, let alone Shadow's."

"It's fine, our NPC Lord will punish Shadow!"

However, very soon.

When they noticed that even Evil Sound Old Ghost was frowning, his pair of cloudy eyes scanning the surroundings incessantly, they finally realized something seemed wrong.

Even this NPC couldn't find where Shadow was!

"Arienai (Impossible)! How can Shadow's Stealth Level be so high?"

"Even the NPC Lord can't find him…"

"This is terrifying!"

"Don't be nervous, everyone. Shadow appearing here means he wants to take the NPC Lord away; he'll show himself sooner or later."

"That's right. Even if it's Shadow, it's impossible for him to meet the NPC Lord's conditions. Even if his speed is fast enough, it's impossible for him to be like Totsuka-kun and hear the rhythm of those outrageous songs!"

"Only Totsuka-kun is a genius!"

Within the KEY Guild and team channels, people were constantly sending voice messages, a complete mess.

Meanwhile, in the center of the field, upon discovering he couldn't find the location of the sneak attacker…

Rhythm Master Evil Sound Old Ghost realized that the player who launched the sneak attack was definitely not weak!

"Heh, heh heh… Interesting, interesting."

"Among the Blue Star players, there is actually an existence this venerable one cannot see through?"

Evil Sound Old Ghost didn't care much. He gave a couple of dry laughs, his frail body standing still as he glanced at the nearby KEY Guild members: "You lot, if you want to live, perform squats according to the rhythm of the music."

"This venerable one's invincibility effect will vanish soon, but as long as you keep squatting to the rhythm, you can regain the invincibility effect. Seeing as you're quite interesting, this venerable one will help you once!"

Hearing this, the faces of the remaining 47 KEY Guild members changed slightly.

The invincibility effect actually had a time limit?!

While this was reasonable, it still threw them all into a state of frantic confusion.

"Stay steady, everyone! Just squat according to the rhythm to maintain invincibility!"

The youth Totsuka hurriedly said, "I suggest everyone hold your heads; the squatting motion can be done faster!"

The pitch-black music box continuously released the music of the 'Golden Divine Tune,' and golden musical ripples wafted and spread into the surroundings.

Bursts of deafening golden war divine tunes enveloped the entire field!

Despite Totsuka's reminder…

Players still failed to keep up with the rhythm one after another, and the golden shields on their bodies quickly vanished…

And once their golden shields disappeared, they would be shot dead by a Shadow Blade flying from an unknown location!

The KEY Guild players in the field became fewer and fewer.

Evil Sound Old Ghost didn't bother with those players anymore. He glanced indifferently around, still not seeing the Qin Feng who had attacked.

So, he said in the Sakura Country language: "Your Excellency, it is time for you to appear. This venerable one is only interested in music. If you have no Talent in music, it is impossible for this venerable one to go back with you."

"If you are interested, you can show yourself and participate in this venerable one's rhythm challenge!"

Clearly, this NPC had not yet realized what kind of existence he was speaking to…

When he finished saying these words.

Qin Feng, who was stealthed nearby, understood what was said but did not respond.

Because there was no need!

Qin Feng planned to finish killing the KEY Guild members first, then slowly play with this NPC.

As the KEY Guild players in the field grew fewer and fewer.

The remaining players, including the youth Totsuka, were enveloped in golden light, continuously holding their heads and squatting. Their movements were incredibly fast and they were putting in extreme effort.

There was no choice; if they didn't work hard, they would die!

Puchi!

Puchi!

-230 million (Weak Point Attack)!

-240 million (Weak Point Attack)!

…

Another Shadow Blade flew out, and with a single ricochet, it shot and killed two KEY Guild members.

The Shadow Blade continued to ricochet, hitting the golden shields of the remaining players, but they were all blocked.

It had to be said that Evil Sound Old Ghost's protection methods were very strong.

Unfortunately…

Among this group of players, the only one who could truly follow the rhythm and keep squatting was the youth Totsuka!

The rhythm of the Golden Divine Tune was fierce and impassioned.

Finally, after just half a minute, only the youth Totsuka still had a golden shield on his body. Everyone else had been mysteriously shot dead!

Until now…

They hadn't even seen a shadow of Qin Feng.

They hadn't even seen a shadow of the 'Shadow Blade'.

A sudden wave of headshot damage caused them to black out on the spot and turn into white light to return home.

"Hold on, I must hold on!"

The youth Totsuka thought through gritted teeth, squatting continuously while observing the surroundings!

"Shadow can't possibly hit the rhythm correctly; he can't take the NPC away."

"Instead… as long as he comes to kowtow, I can use the light and shadow crystal to record the scene of him kowtowing!"

Shadow kowtowing!

Just thinking about it, if this footage was leaked, how much it could strike down the arrogant spirit of those Great Xia people!

Until this moment, he still hadn't realized…

Qin Feng had no intention of kowtowing at all!

"First beat this old man half to death, then threaten him a bit to force him to reveal the conditions for taking him away."

This was Qin Feng's plan!

Originally, Qin Feng wanted to finish off all the KEY Guild players before making a move.

But he didn't expect…

That musical genius named 'Totsuka' was actually so good at squatting!

He maintained the rhythmic sense of squatting and even took out a light and shadow crystal, preparing to record the scene of Qin Feng kowtowing.

Qin Feng waited for a few seconds and finally couldn't be bothered to wait anymore.

"Forget it, I can't waste time because of this one guy…"

"Then…"

"Let's begin."

Qin Feng maintained his undetectable stealth state, no longer paying attention to 'Totsuka' who was squatting under the golden light, and backhandedly threw a Shadow Blade toward the nearby NPC old man.

This attack was just a probe.

Through this single Shadow Blade, Qin Feng could observe some of the old man's attributes, thereby deciding on a specific strategy for later!

And as his Shadow Blade flew out…

Puchi!

Evil Sound Old Ghost didn't even have time to react and was hit squarely in the head.

The health bar above his head dropped by about one percent, and at the same time, it stacked about 0.5% on the instant death gauge.

???

Evil Sound Old Ghost was stunned on the spot.

This…

What?

That stealthed player launched an attack against him?!

And this scene similarly caused the eyes of the youth 'Totsuka', who was squatting incessantly, to widen in shock: "What… Shadow attacked the NPC Lord? This, this, this Great Xia idiot is seeking death?!"
