Qin Feng was leveling up while clearing the arena ruins.
In Jianghai City, more and more players reached level 10 and flocked to the city ruins on the Forsaken Gods Continent.
As the number of players increased, they gradually cleared out many monsters in the city ruins.
Now, the commotion caused by the "Iron Maiden" attracted dozens of players nearby.
They didn't dare to approach.
All of them scattered over a hundred meters away in the ruins, watching the BOSS's actions, not daring to show themselves...
Once they appeared, they would become the target of the Steel Saintess's attacks!
"Damn, who's fighting the BOSS? I can't see a single person!"
"I heard it's Shadow! The BOSS was spawned by the Knight's Sanctuary, but suddenly, Shadow wiped them all out!"
"Is Shadow fighting the BOSS now?"
"Wow, one skill took this much health from the BOSS? That's got to be 15%, right?"
"Doesn't that mean six or seven skills could take down this Platinum-level BOSS?"
"Damn, it must be some amazing talent. If I had that talent, I'd be flying high too!"
...
While people were chatting.
Qin Feng occasionally appeared, striking the Steel Saintess.
In just over ten seconds, two consecutive Shadow Blink Slashes dropped the BOSS's health to 51%!
"The next attack, if I use Shadow Blink Slash again, I'll take counter damage..."
"But I can use Blacklight Shield to block it once."
Qin Feng calmly responded.
When the Shadow Blink Slash cooled down, he activated Blacklight Shield!
Activating Blacklight Shield took him out of stealth, but he quickly used Silent Concealment to enter stealth again.
Starting in place, Shadow Blink Slash!
-7975 (Weak Point Attack)!
-8031 (Weak Point Attack)!
-0 (Counter Damage 8055)!
...
After the two hits from Shadow Blink Slash, thorns and iron spikes suddenly emerged from the Steel Saintess's iron body!
Due to Silent Concealment's higher break-stealth attack bonus.
This time, the Shadow Blink Slash dealt a few hundred points more damage than before.
Unfortunately, after the BOSS entered the second phase at half health, the following seven slashes dealt no damage, all countered back to Qin Feng!
Fortunately, Qin Feng had the 10-layer damage reduction from the Blacklight Shield, allowing him to escape unscathed.
Immediately, the eerie and cruel smile on the Steel Saintess's face twisted into one of pain.
Thorns and iron spikes protruded from its entire body!
The two flamethrower barrels on its chest extended, ready to spew fire at any moment...
However, after completing these transformations, the BOSS suddenly stopped moving!
In its immobile state, its counter damage effect remained active!
Qin Feng waited patiently in stealth nearby.
"If it stays still, I'll have to reveal myself and slowly chip away with damage reduction."
"But if other players provoke it... I can resolve the battle faster."
...
No one knew Qin Feng's thoughts.
The surrounding players saw the BOSS stop moving and began whispering, a bit puzzled.
"Why did the BOSS stop moving?"
"Could it be that Shadow is dead?"
"Possibly, after all, the BOSS just changed a bit, maybe it had some trick to take Shadow down."
"But if he's dead, where's the body? And the loot?"
"Could the body be in stealth too?"
...
You have to admit, these players had vivid imaginations...
At this moment, a six-person team approached the Steel Saintess.
Leading them was a masked warrior player wielding a katana and wearing Gold-tier chainmail.
His eyes were sharp, looking spirited, mighty, and confident!
Three other players had been watching for a while.
Seeing the masked warrior arrive, they respectfully greeted him: "Boss Safe, you're here! We've been observing for a while, this BOSS only has a few skills, we've noted them down... Also, the BOSS suddenly stopped moving, its body changed a bit, it might have new skills."
The masked warrior player nodded slightly.
"Was it Shadow fighting this BOSS earlier?"
The masked warrior, codenamed "Safety First," snapped his fingers: "Little Rabbit, activate Red Eye, see if Shadow is still around."
A girl player behind him nodded.
The girl raised her hand, summoning a rabbit.
The rabbit sneakily hopped onto the roof of a ruined house, its eyes turning blood-red, scanning the surroundings!
A minute later.
The summoner girl, Little Rabbit, wearing a robe and holding a staff, said, "Couldn't find Shadow's position, probably not here."
The masked warrior sighed in relief: "Little Rabbit's anti-stealth level is 3. If she couldn't find anyone, they're probably not here... But stay alert, if Shadow shows up, notify me immediately."
A level 3 anti-stealth is indeed high at this point.
The girl summoner named "Little Rabbit" summoned a "Tracking Blood Rabbit" with a built-in level 1 anti-stealth, wore a necklace adding another level, and learned a passive skill "Keen Detection" adding one more level.
They originally wanted to buy more anti-stealth items, but such items were extremely scarce on the market!
That necklace was bought at a high price.
After all, in this environment, no one wants to die.
The threat from stealth assassins is significant, and every team would have a professional anti-stealth member...
But they didn't know that Qin Feng's stealth level had reached level 4!
...
Before long.
The masked warrior codenamed "Safety First," holding a katana, emerged from the residential ruins, approaching the Steel Saintess!
This scene stunned many players around.
"Whoa, that guy's looking for death!"
"Is he trying to solo the BOSS?"
"Wait, I've seen that guy before... Back at the starting town, he took down a Gold-level BOSS without taking damage!"
"Damn, it's the pro 'Safety First'? I heard his class is 'Soul Warrior'! He can dodge 100% of attacks after every roll!"
"Rumor has it this guy used to be a top global soul game streamer, with maxed-out reflexes!"
Under the shocked and expectant gazes of the crowd.
The Soul Warrior "Safety First," wielding a katana, stood before the three-story-high Platinum-level terrifying BOSS, the Steel Saintess!
Before the Soul Warrior could get close.
The Steel Saintess swung the iron wheels in its hands, slashing heavily at the Soul Warrior!
In the back, among the residential ruins.
The summoner girl Little Rabbit and her teammates watched the masked Soul Warrior with anticipation.
"This Platinum-level BOSS, Boss Safe can definitely handle it."
"That's right, the BOSS moves slowly, with Boss's skills, he can easily react."
"As long as he can dodge with rolls, Boss's next attack can ignore 50% defense, taking down the BOSS won't take long!"
In front.
The Soul Warrior faced the Iron Maiden's attack, directly rolling!
Roll!
Dodge!
Roll!
Dodge!
After dodging the Iron Maiden's two iron wheel slashes, the Soul Warrior remained calm, gripping a Silver-tier katana, and boldly attacked.
"Take this, Interstice Moon Shadow!"
He wielded the katana, under various state boosts, slashing three times at the Iron Maiden!
Three ghostly blue slashes landed on the Iron Maiden's iron base.
-0 (Counter Damage 988)!
-0 (Counter Damage 976)!
-0 (Counter Damage 1002)!
Before the Soul Warrior could react, his health bar dropped to zero, dying on the spot.
"Uh?"
This scene left the surrounding players instantly stunned!
