#721 · 721 of 2210

The world belongs to God? Metal weapons burst out!

If it's a one-on-one situation, being 5 levels lower doesn't mean you're weaker than your opponent.

But if it's a large-scale group battle…

If the average level is 5 levels lower, then it's almost impossible to defeat a legion opponent that is 5 levels higher in a direct confrontation.

Or, by relying on the Hideout's defensive barrier and counterattacking from behind it, victory might be possible.

But Aladdin said the opponent directly left the city to slaughter!

“Then there’s only one possibility.”

Aladdin looked at the distant Hideout walls and calmly analyzed, “The opponent has an NPC behind them providing them with super-strong buffs! However, none of us have ever seen that NPC…”

“Interesting.”

Qin Feng smiled faintly, “No wonder those people are so fanatical.”

Aladdin was a little worried, “Lord Shadow, those are terrifying fanatics. It’s almost impossible to drive them away now… And with a mysterious NPC protecting them, that Hideout won’t be captured in a short time.”

Qin Feng paused for a moment.

Then he looked at Aladdin, “You brought ten thousand people to attack this Hideout; how long do you plan to take to capture it?”

Aladdin was a bit embarrassed, “Actually, I never intended to capture this Hideout. We just came to besiege it… By snatching their monsters and farming their wild areas around this Hideout for a period, their development will fall behind.”

“We'll wait until the time is right, or until we learn more about the opponent’s NPC before launching a formal attack…”

So that’s how it is.

Qin Feng’s lips curved slightly, “Alright. It seems you’re very lucky. Since I’m here, you don’t have to wait. This guild… will soon be reduced to ashes!”

After saying this, Qin Feng’s Death Wings spread behind him, carrying him soaring into the air!

In the distance!

Osirio was dispatched by Qin Feng to try and persuade the players inside that Hideout to leave.

Originally, Qin Feng planned to scare the opponent away with his reputation.

But this group wasn't scared…

So Qin Feng decided to give the opponent another chance, explain the situation, and persuade them to leave.

Therefore, Osirio had just flown over and already explained the situation clearly.

This place…

A Mythic BOSS would soon spawn, and that BOSS was Lord Shadow’s target, so he asked all those players to leave this place.

But unfortunately.

Despite this explanation, not a single one of them listened!

Instead, they became even more fanatical, shouting and cheering.

Throughout the entire Hideout wall area, waves of fervent shouts rose higher and higher!

Swish!

Qin Feng instantly flew to Osirio’s side.

Below them was a hemispherical translucent defensive barrier, protecting the entire Hideout complex, and within the complex, tens of thousands of players were shouting fanatically.

They looked at Osirio soaring in the sky, their eyes filled with a hint of disdain and contempt…

“I don’t understand, what are they shouting?”

Qin Feng came to Osirio’s side and asked.

Osirio helplessly spread his claws, “They said that Lord Shadow and the like are all trash, and only their God's Hand is the true god…”

Qin Feng, “God's Hand? Isn’t that their guild name?”

Osirio, “It also seems to be their稱呼 for an NPC, but this King hasn’t seen where that NPC is yet?”

Qin Feng was speechless, “Even I haven’t seen it, let alone you.”

He squeezed the White Sprout Blade in his hand, “Old hag, have you seen the existence of any NPC?”

Soon, Bai Ya’s soul message came back resentfully, “Are you out of your mind! Don’t squeeze there… Annoying! Don’t rush, let big sister take a look for you…”

After a while, Bai Ya was a little surprised, “Ah? So many powerful souls… Did you come to some graveyard?”

Qin Feng was silent upon receiving this soul message, and after a while he asked, “You said so many… How many exactly?”

Bai Ya, “Countless! They’re densely packed together, at least tens of thousands!”

Qin Feng, “You’re not seeing the players of that guild, are you?”

Bai Ya, “Players at this stage can’t possibly have such strong souls! Even the guy you just communicated with, his soul strength isn’t as strong as any of them in here!”

This abnormal situation made Qin Feng feel a bit troubled.

Qin Feng was genuinely not good at things related to souls, especially in terms of soul defense.

Just then, Bai Ya continued, “However, those tens of thousands of souls seem to be somewhat incomplete… They look like they’ve been possessed by something, which is why their soul strength has greatly increased.”

“Furthermore, big sister also discovered that those souls are all confined to that area and cannot move far away…”

All of this should be related to that mysterious NPC.

“It can provide powerful buffs to guild members, but it will disperse its soul and possess the guild members.”

“At the same time, that guy is also trapped in that area and cannot move far away.”

“What kind of NPC is this exactly?”

If a player was invisible or even soul invisible, they still couldn't escape Qin Feng's perception.

After all, their physical forms still existed.

But this NPC in front of him probably has no physical form!

“This kind of thing, physical attacks and elemental attacks won’t have much effect, unless Soul Harvest is used!”

“However, Soul Harvest is single-target.”

“And this guy is dispersed among tens of thousands of players; I don’t know which one is his main body… Or perhaps every single one is a part of his main body!”

“In that case, my Soul Harvest will find it difficult to precisely kill him.”

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and decided to watch the tigers fight from the mountain.

He was very cautious when encountering such matters.

It's conceivable that a guy who is only a soul might possess some soul-targeting destructive abilities…

Even Qin Feng could suffer a huge loss if he wasn't careful!

“Since you won’t leave, then let the Third World Spine test the true nature of that NPC first.”

Qin Feng was not in a hurry.

Anyway, this thing isn't a race, and there's no time limit for killing it.

As for whether the Third World Spine would be defeated…

That would be pure fantasy.

If the World Spine were really that easy to defeat, other reincarnation worlds wouldn't have failed to conquer it; couldn't they just pull some NPCs over?

It's not that NPCs are not strong enough.

Rather, exiled NPCs are greatly restricted when facing local civilization BOSSes.

“Go.”

Qin Feng took Osirio and flew to a distant place first, directly integrating into Darkness!

He conveniently added 'Aladdin' to the team.

When the BOSS appears later, as soon as Aladdin deals a little damage to the BOSS, Qin Feng can kick him out of the team.

…

The short ten minutes passed quickly.

The white-robed youth Aladdin was very nervous. His profession was Eagle Singer, and like his talent, he could provide buff statuses to teammates and even players throughout the entire guild.

So, making him deal damage to the BOSS was quite challenging.

Of course, to leech BOSS rewards this way, one doesn't necessarily have to deal damage; providing healing to teammates with ownership also works… But he dared not assume that 'Lord Shadow' would lose health in the BOSS battle!

There was also a method called 'critical damage taken'.

Simply taking damage and being killed by the BOSS doesn't count; it requires 'critical damage taken'.

What is critical damage taken?

It means taking damage from the BOSS's critical mechanics, or taking damage on behalf of a teammate.

This was even more difficult for Aladdin…

Just as Aladdin was thinking this, the God's Hand guild in the distance was in a state of revelry.

They saw 'Lord Shadow' leave, and their Hideout was not attacked!

“Lord Shadow is scared! It seems he also knows how strong God's Hand is!”

“Mere Lord Shadow, like a stray jackal, fled in disarray, hahaha!”

“The world belongs to God!”

“What Mythic BOSS? Even Ancient-Grade or Immortal-grade BOSSes would kneel before God—”

However, as this group was reveling.

The ten-minute countdown for the BOSS to spawn arrived.

At this instant…

Boom!

Only to see the sandy ground within the Hideout suddenly crack open with a blood-red fissure, and a red light, like a meteor, shot out from underground!

Others couldn't see what it was at all…

Only Qin Feng could feel that it was a blood-red longsword, over ten meters long, which, the moment it flew out from underground, sliced a church within the Hideout in half and instantly cut more than ten people along its path into blood pulp!

Bang bang bang!

Players killed by the blood-red longsword directly exploded into a mist of blood, and the lifespan on their bodies turned into white smoke, which was directly taken away and absorbed by the blood-red longsword!

At this very instant…

The more than ten fanatical players who had just been reveling instantly had their lifespans reduced to zero!

And this was just the beginning.

That blood-red longsword was just the first one.

Closely followed were the second, third, fourth… one after another, various metallic weapons flew out from underground!

“Ah—”

Inside the Hideout, tens of thousands of players instantly fell into panic!

Because they discovered that their guild’s defensive barrier could not block the attacks of those metallic weapons!
