When Green Flame ceased to burn, indicating that the skill had reached its time limit, normally Xie Feng would panic. After all, the only reason he could fight and overwhelm Shui Xiu is due to Green Flame.
Not to mention overwhelming, if Xie Feng had not suddenly acquired this new skill, he could not even cause damage to Shui Xiu.
However, his face did not show the slightest sign of panic or anxiety. His eyes burned with fury and his gaze seemed to be intended to penetrate the depths of Shui Xiu"s soul and destroy it completely.
But Shui Xiu was so excited that he didn"t notice any of this. He didn"t even think much about it. After all, just a second ago he had resigned himself to death, but suddenly fate seemed to decide that it was not his time and place to die. Naturally he was happy.
Shui Xiu did not waste words. He opened both arms wide and with a huge smile, he spelled over 20 undead scythes!
This means that Shui Xiu was holding back even now!
Considering that Shui Xiu"s power had been approximately halved by the Pearl of Light, his undead scythes now caused more than 2000 fixed magic damages.
Over twenty scythes equaled a total of over 40,000 health points!
This is precisely why solo players cannot defeat bosses of their own level, not to mention higher levels.
*Sou!*
*Sou!*
*Sou!*
*Sou!*
*Sou!*
.
.
The wind howled and the gray scythes, full of death aura, fired at a terrifying speed toward every part of Xie Feng"s body; head, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, legs, etc. No part of his body would remain unscathed.
The unquestionable and unmistakable pressure of death made every part of Xie Feng"s body shake. Not from horror, but because his body itself almost moved by instinct.
Xie Feng fought his own instinct and did nothing to avoid it. His Dissolve skill was in cooldown for a few more seconds, so he couldn"t use it either. Even Fast Movement was cooled down, as he had used it before to save Shui Wuhen.
From Shui Xiu"s point of view, Xie Feng was simply waiting for the moment of his imminent death.
But, when the twenty-plus scythes were about to strike Xie Feng, successfully sending him to level 0 again, the Ring of the G.o.d of Destruction glowed with a terrifying blood-red color.
*Craaack!*
A sound similar to a charged lightning rumble inside the cave.
The next thing Shui Xiu saw, was a flash of blood-red lightning hitting his body. That was the last memory of his life.
-20000!
The Shui Xiu health bar emptied completely and, with a look that suggested he didn"t understand what had happened, he collapsed on the ground.

Many announcements rang out in Xie Feng"s head.
After the use of Green Flame, Xie Feng had lost three levels as punishment. Therefore, his level fourteen had fallen directly to level eleven. However, after defeating a high level boss with a high grade, Xie Feng gained five levels directly even receiving half the experience.
Because his level had fallen before, his stats were also removed, as appropriate. Otherwise, a zero level player with stats of a hundred level player... That"s just crazy.
But now his stats are back to normal and even better than before... Of course, that stats, died.
Before Xie Feng could think of anything else, the system"s announcements continued to echo in his head.
[Ding!... You have successfully defeated an EMPEROR grade BOSS. You have received 700 points of fame!]
[Ding!... The system will announce your achievement to the whole world. For your personal privacy, would you like to hide your name?]
Xie Feng shook his head but did not say a word.
Fortunately, the system seemed to understand his intention.
[Ding!... World Announcement: Attention all battle zones! .... Player "Shiva", from the Chinese Battle Zone, has just successfully defeated an EMPEROR grade Boss, becoming the first player in the whole world to achieve such a feat. Samsara Online wishes that each and every one of you, players, experience new challenges and overcome your own limits to obtain the new life you long for!]

______________
Fresh Plains, monster territory level 14, Blinking Rabbit.
Blinking Rabbits were a type of small monster, but because they were small, everyone thought they were easy to kill. Many players made the big mistake of thinking that these small and seemingly harmless creatures were weak, easy to obtain experience points, etc. Therefore, in the beginning, many players came to the territory of the blinking rabbits with the intention of hunting them.
The problem is that, although they are rabbits, they are not as weak and easy to humiliate as the rabbits in the Beginner"s Village.
The blinking rabbits were monsters with an attack speed and movement superior to most of the level fourteen monsters, so, the players who came to this place to get easy experience thinking they could hunt the rabbits without problems were killed over and over again.
A big group of people was hunting Blinking Rabbits at this time. These people were all members of the Iron Wall Guild, one of the fifty most powerful guilds in all of China.
Although the option of creating guilds is still out of reach, that doesn"t mean that people can"t get together. Especially for people with power in the real world. It was not at all difficult for them to hire people as soldiers for their guild, creating a real army.
Five shield guardians surrounded two blinking rabbits, preventing them from using their movement speed to get out of the circle. While the shield guardians used their skill to attract the monster"s agro, the priests made sure to keep the health of the shield guardians out of danger.
Two water wizards threw a Water Shock on the blinking rabbits and wet them. Immediately afterward, a group of lightning mages channeled a spell called the Lightning Spear and hit both rabbits.
*Bang!*... *Bang!*
The effect of water next to the lightning attack caused the two rabbits to be electrocuted and lose their ability to move for a period of time. Soon, the rabbits were killed and the experience divided among the group.
A handsome man of about 27 years old watched the scene with indifference. Because of the dagger in his right hand and the leather armor, this man was undoubtedly an a.s.sa.s.sin.
The dagger glowed with a cold light gray color, indicating its rarity. Surprisingly, it was a silver-grade weapon!
This man was Nangong Lei, the first young master of the Nangong family as well as the next leader of the family. His position in the ranking of levels was third, only behind Xie Feng and Yao Mei. At the same time, he was the older brother of the leader of the Iron Wall Guild.
However, he had another terrifying ident.i.ty. He was the leader of the Sacred Wings guild.
The Sacred Wings Guild was the second most powerful guild in all of China! Only behind the guild G.o.d of Heaven. Its members numbered in the millions and no one dared to offend them, even Yao Zenyu, the Prince of China, would think twice before opposing him.
A warrior approached and seemed to hesitate about something. Nangong Lei frowned slightly and said: "If you have something to say, just say it".
The warrior nodded and reported: "This is about Shiva, the player that a member of the guild of the second young master offended... As the first young master already heard, this player has just defeated a boss EMPEROR... his level in the ranking table was shot directly to 16... I am afraid that in the real world, this Shiva could...".
Although the warrior did not continue, Nangong Lei understood what he meant.
After a moment of silence, he simply waved a hand and said: "Ignore him. Even if in the real world he is an ESPER, so what? Doesn"t my Nangong family have many of them too? Even in the virtual world, what can he do about it? Can he defeat a hundred, thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of players on his own? When he is identified in the city, inform me".
The warrior seemed undecided about something, but after one glance from Nangong Lei, he could only nod and retreat again to fulfill orders.
