Blood-Red Blade

Shi Feng gave the order, and Kele, who had been prepared, chanted divine runes. Golden runes surged toward Shi Feng.

Blessing of Protection!

Instantly, Shi Feng was enveloped by countless golden runes, radiating a dazzling golden glow.

At the same time, Sleepy Sloth in the back row continuously cast Recovery and Life Prayer, topping off Shi Feng's HP and restoring him to his peak state.

"Prepare for the impact, and do not leave my back under any circumstances." Seeing Werewolf Ferrot's gaze lock onto him, Shi Feng held Abyssal Walker horizontally across his chest and spoke urgently.

Hearing Shi Feng's words, the others grew tense.

Their hearts, already beating irregularly, began to hammer wildly; cold sweat broke out before Werewolf Ferrot had even unleashed his skill.

Suddenly, Werewolf Ferrot moved. His bulging chest began to swell, the energy surging up through his neck and into his mouth.

ROAR!

In an instant, everyone except Shi Feng felt as if their hearts had stopped beating. The world seemed to fall silent and turn gray, and even the birds and beasts flying in the sky froze in place.

Everyone could clearly see dark gray waves rippling outward from Werewolf Ferrot's body, expanding one after another.

The dark gray ripples reached them quickly, yet they couldn't even move—not because they didn't want to, but because their bodies could not keep up with their thoughts.

Everyone felt that time had slowed down abnormally at this moment, yet they also understood that while it seemed slow, it was actually at its peak speed. It was like a duel between supreme masters; the moment they crossed blades, time felt agonizingly slow.

At this moment, only Shi Feng moved slightly.

Phantom Kill!

The split-second before the dark gray ripples arrived, Shi Feng's clone blocked the path in front of him and simultaneously used Parry.

As the dark gray ripples made contact with the clone, they were blocked by its Parry. The clone took a step back, stabilizing itself only after bumping into Shi Feng's main body.

No sooner had the clone steadied itself than another ripple surged forward.

This time, the ripple passed through the clone's body. The clone's HP dropped by 300 points, while Shi Feng's main body behind it took 30 points of damage, and those behind him also lost 20 HP.

However, the dark gray ripples did not stop at one. When the third ripple passed through the clone, it disintegrated, and 100 points of damage appeared above Shi Feng's head.

Then, the dark gray ripples came one after another.

-100, -100, -100, -100...

Shi Feng's HP dropped repeatedly until only 90 points remained. Just as he was about to be finished off by the final ripple, Shi Feng used Parry.

With a boom, Shi Feng took a large step back, but he took no damage, and those behind him remained unharmed. However, after several shockwaves, everyone's HP had dropped below 50%.

At this moment, Sleepy Sloth's Recovery landed on Shi Feng, pulling his HP back to 140. This was followed by Life Prayer, which restored another 130 HP, bringing Shi Feng back to over 50% health.

"That roar is too powerful; I thought we were done for." Heizi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If Shi Feng hadn't been blocking in front, everyone would have been finished. Thinking of how close Shi Feng had come to dying, his heart hammered—it must have been hitting 180 beats per minute.

If Shi Feng died, they would all be finished, as no one else could kite Werewolf Ferrot for long.

The group looked at Shi Feng as if he were a monster. No one had expected Shi Feng to cleverly use his clone to block two impacts and then use Parry for the final one. His calculations for damage and HP were simply peak perfection; such technique was nothing short of a god-tier skill.

"Don't just stand there, hurry and attack the BOSS. He's entered his weakened state." Shi Feng shrugged slightly at their reaction, but he did not relax. In a few years, many experts would be able to pull off such techniques.

What mattered most now was the BOSS; only he knew that Werewolf Ferrot would not be so easy to deal with.

Wind Chasing Sword!

Activating Gravity Liberation, Shi Feng instantly arrived before Werewolf Ferrot, gripping Abyssal Walker and striking the beast's chest repeatedly.

Wind Thunder Flash!

Double Strike!

Slash!

Damage numbers over a hundred popped up above Werewolf Ferrot's head, and the others managed to deal over 20 damage each, quickly driving Werewolf Ferrot's HP down to 15%.

Seeing that Ferrot was about to fall, everyone wore excited smiles.

"Don't get careless. Heizi, use Evil Lash; Jimo, prepare to Charge and Hamstring," Shi Feng commanded while dodging Werewolf Ferrot's attacks.

At Shi Feng's words, the group's hearts tightened.

A Death Gaze and a Hell Roar were already unimaginably terrifying; any other team would have already returned to the graveyard to respawn.

Could it be that Werewolf Ferrot still had an ultimate move? Just how terrifying was this Hell-Grade difficulty?

Shi Feng kept his eyes fixed on Werewolf Ferrot's HP. Just as it dropped to 10%, the third ultimate move arrived.

Death Frenzy!

This move increased Werewolf Ferrot's attack speed by 100%, movement speed by 40%, and attack power by 100%, lasting until his death. Because of this skill, countless elite squads had cursed the werewolf's mother.

With Death Frenzy activated, Werewolf Ferrot's fur began to turn red, quickly becoming a vivid crimson. Combined with his blood-red eyes and sharp fangs, he looked exactly like a blood demon. His terrifying appearance made everyone instinctively step back; they could all clearly sense the dangerous aura radiating from Ferrot.

After using Double Strike to stack the bleed effect to 5 layers, Shi Feng turned and ran.

With Death Frenzy active, no one below level 5 could block Ferrot, not even Shi Feng with his magic weapon. The only way was to kite him and slowly wear him down.

Just as Shi Feng escaped 10 yards away, Ferrot's thick thighs bulged to nearly twice their size. He pushed off the ground, turning into a blood-colored arrow as he charged straight at Shi Feng.

Shi Feng was about to reach a large rock, but Ferrot was moving too fast behind him. There was no time, so he had to turn abruptly, executing a 90-degree sharp turn.

BOOM!

Werewolf Ferrot did not turn, instead smashing the massive boulder blocking his path into pieces. Fragments the size of human heads flew over ten yards away; the terrifying power made even a tough guy like Kele tremble.

If he were to be struck by that claw, he would surely be reduced to a pulp...

By now, Shi Feng had already sprinted twenty yards away, creating a significant gap, while the ranged attacks never ceased, continuously whittling down Ferrot's HP.

Shi Feng's kiting strategy was a success. Every time Werewolf Ferrot was about to catch up, Lonely As Snow would charge in and apply a Hamstring, drastically reducing Ferrot's speed and widening the distance once more. When Lonely As Snow's skills were on cooldown, Heizi would use Evil Lash to restrain him again. With both of their skill cooldowns being relatively short, occasionally supplemented by Shi Feng's Abyssal Bind, they formed a perfect chain, continuously toying with Werewolf Ferrot.

7%, 6%, 5%, 3%...

Finally, when only 1% of his HP remained, Shi Feng turned back around.

Wind Chasing Sword, Wind Thunder Flash, Slash, Double Strike!

A single sword strike landed on Werewolf Ferrot's chest, claiming the final 1% of his HP.

System: Your party is the first in God's Domain to clear a Hell-Grade dungeon. Rewards increased by 100%, drop rate increased by 100%.

System: Cleared Hell-Grade Dead Silence Forest. Reward: 8,000 EXP.

At this moment, Werewolf Ferrot exploded, dropping over a dozen items. Among them, one item made Shi Feng's eyes light up.

He hadn't expected that item with the hair-raisingly low drop rate to actually appear.

Blood-Red Blade!

The bright red blade emitted a faint crimson glow, and a red liquid seemed to drip from its edge. The entire sword radiated an intense aura of slaughter.
