Chapter 578: Successful Defense
It would get harder for a player to solo a group the closer one got to the late game.
Just like Jiang Feng. Despite the vast difference in power, all he could do was kill several hundreds, and then he was already forced into the defensive.
The attack launched by a formation formed by a million soldiers was extremely powerful.
His guess was that if he was struck by that giant scarlet red sword, he would surely be killed.
When he saw the scarlet red sword avoiding the s.p.a.ce Fissure and attacking him, his face paled.
He did not expect that an attack launched by a formation formed by a million soldiers would have such intelligence.
When Zhuge Liang, who was in the mid-point between all three cities, saw this moment, he yelled at Jiang Feng, “s.h.i.+fter Emperor! This is an Array of Spirit Manipulation! The more people there are within the formation, the more powerful the Spirit is! Destroying it is also similarly easy. Find the eye of the formation and kill it!”
Eye of the Formation!
Jiang Feng immediately teleported away and dodged the attack of the scarlet red sword, and looked at the million soldiers.
He saw that many of the more powerful generals were holding a flag in their hands. He knew that these generals were the eye of the formation.
If he could kill these generals, he could then destroy the formation.
When he thought of that, he immediately used s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+ft and appeared right next to a general. His Deicide slashed at the general’s sword, dealing critical damage.
Before he could retreat, he continued to slash at him again, and several hundred Sword Chis pierced through his body, instantly killing him!
“Dimension Door!”
After killing that general, he teleported away and dodged the scarlet red sword, and reappeared next to a general.
The formation formed by the million-strong army did not have any defensive mechanism as it was a purely offensive formation.
That meant that as more people die, the less the power of the Spirit.
After killing one general, many of the lights surrounding the players disappeared. That meant that the formation had failed and the players could no longer contribute to it.
***
Other than Jiang Feng, Ling Luo, Red Boy, and the group of elites from the s.h.i.+fter faction had also heard Zhuge Liang’s words.
All of them rode into the opposite army to snipe the generals.
As for the other members from the s.h.i.+fter faction, they all remained behind and did not join them.
If the one-million of them had used all their skills and concentrated at one point, it was no use no matter how many people went over.
That was how they destroyed several of Zhuge Liang’s arrays and managed to get inside the s.h.i.+fter Emperor’s Planet. Otherwise, King Zhou’s army could never make it in.
Ling Luo and Red Boy seemed to have had their own opportunities in the Bottomless Pit and had gained slivers of Laws.
Ling Luo had gained access to the Demesne of Fate.
“Your life ends here. Therefore, you can die now!”
The moment that Ling Luo said that, a bullet was fired from the sniper rifle’s muzzle. There were runes on the bullet, and they struck a general.
The general that was struck had a skull marked on his head.
Before the general could even react, another shot was fired and hit that general’s forehead. He was instantly killed.
Red Boy gained the Demesne of True Fire. As he exhaled a breath of Flames of Samadhi, it was as if they had become alive and transformed into a fire dragon, slamming into the body of one of the generals. In but a moment, the general was then inflicted with high magic damage and had disappeared in a beam of white light.
Even the newly joined Fruitsh.e.l.l was not dilly-dallying around. He took out a dagger as his figure disappeared from where he was standing. In the next second, a chain of terrifying amounts of damage kept on floating out from the head of one of the generals.
That general kept on swinging his saber around, but he was not able to hit an enemy that he could not see until the moment that he died.
Jiang Feng, Ling Luo, Jiang Fan, and Fruitsh.e.l.l’s performance had shocked the monsters and players within the s.h.i.+fter faction.
They had never seen attacks using the Demesnes. As they had not even mastered any one of the Laws yet, they were not able to see how the five of them were attacking.
Especially Fruitsh.e.l.l. He was so masterful with the use of the Laws of Piercing that no one was able to find out where he was standing. It was as if he did not exist at all.
“What kind of Demesne skills is the s.h.i.+fter Emperor using? So powerful!” Heifeng stared in shock as he looked at the five stopping the million-strong army in their tracks as he flapped the wings on his back with Heixue on him.
Yanhu nodded and said sadly, “He is indeed very powerful. The s.h.i.+fter Emperor keeps on getting stronger while we, who had once fought with the s.h.i.+fter Emperor, can no longer keep up with him!”
The Thunderclap Mantis let out a sigh, “After the World War, I want to leave this place and go out and experience the world. Perhaps there would be one day when we can fight together with the s.h.i.+fter Emperor instead of simply having to stand by and watch!”
All the monsters that had fought with Jiang Feng before exchanged a glance. It was just as the Thunderclap Mantis had said. They could only fight against some of the weaker enemies, and they could not be of any help if the enemies were very powerful.
It did not sit well with them, and they desired even more power!

“Ling Luo, Red Boy, Xiao Fan, and Fruitsh.e.l.l! Follow me and kill s.h.i.+ Long and the Black Widow!” Jiang Feng once again dodged the scarlet red sword and said to the other four.
Now, all his skills’ cooldown had already ended, and he could chain all his ultimate attacks together.
With the help of the ultimate skills, it should be enough to instantly kill off s.h.i.+ Long and the Black Widow.
When they heard what Jiang Feng said, all four of them gathered close to him.
“Dimension Door!”
When he saw that the four of them were gathering at his location, he teleported close to s.h.i.+ Long’s side and slashed his sword toward s.h.i.+ Long’s head.
s.h.i.+ Long’s current power was not weak, and he managed to dodge Jiang Feng’s attack with a reposition skill.
“Time Stop!” And at this moment, time around them had stopped.
“s.p.a.ce collapse!”
Seeing that s.h.i.+ Long was no longer able to move, he pointed Deicide right in his direction and s.p.a.ce instantly shattered, forming a black hole and taking s.h.i.+ Long in. s.h.i.+ Long’s Sacred Health kept on dropping.
Luckily, two seconds later, he was able to recover and chose to quickly escape!
Bang!
But just as he was going to run, a bullet with electricity buried itself in his head and caused him to enter the numb status.
s.h.i.+ Long, who was once bound again, had all his HP depleted in the black hole as he then disappeared into a bolt of white light.
“s.p.a.ce Barrier!”
When s.h.i.+ Long was killed, Black Widow wanted to escape but crashed into his s.p.a.ce Barrier.
“Rain of Swords!”
At this time, Jiang Feng had finally used his Rain of Swords skill.
Rumble!
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder boomed. The Sword Chis within the cyclone furiously rushed toward Black Widow and the soldiers close by.
“Ah, Ah…”
Next, there were screams of pain.
“Burning World!” Red Boy used his ultimate attack.
“Sword Thirteen Style!” Jiang Fan had also used his ultimate skill.
“Screen of Bullets!”
“Shadow Strike!”
…
The chain of ultimate attacks immediately killed Black Widow. Around 10,000 soldiers had also been killed by the united skills that they had unleashed.
“s.p.a.ce Warp!”
Just after killing the Black Widow, he could feel danger behind him and he quickly used the s.p.a.ce Warp skill to dodge the scarlet red sword’s attack.
Ding. World announcement. As the Shang Nation did not destroy the s.h.i.+fters Nation within 5 hours, the s.h.i.+fters Nation has successfully defended their nation. You are awarded a 30% boost to your completion rate!
Jiang Feng, who was just about to attack the other remaining enemies, was shocked when he heard the world announcement and thought to himself, ‘Is this it?’
As he looked at his level that kept on increasing, he was actually trying to use this chance to increase his level to more than 200. Unfortunately, his level had stopped at 198 and he felt that he could kill some more!
