Samsara Online

Although the few shield guardians who advanced were a large minority compared to the total number of players in the army, there were still more than twenty. More than twenty players attacking only one, as long as no abnormalities occurred or they did not face a monster, the result of such a battle was obvious. Unfortunately, the twenty shield guardians knew that the effort they had put in the last few days to level up would soon be lost.

As if to appease the anger and anxiety they felt, the shield guardians roared loudly and charged as they formed a circle. Clearly, they were trying to encircle Xie Feng. This style of fighting was generally used against powerful bosses; the shield guardians lock the boss into a circle to prevent it from escaping while the players with the most damage slowly drain its HP.

Xie Feng stood there indifferently and let the shield guardians attack him. Approximately ten "Shield Rush" hit Xie Feng’s body at the same time, followed by another ten after.

-1, -1, -1, -1, -1...

The skill "Shield Rush" of the shield guardians was weak, even weaker than a normal attack. But this skill had the advantage that after being hit by the shield, the enemy would be pushed back and there was a 15% chance of stunning the target for 2 or 3 seconds. With such a high chance along with so many Shield Rush at the same time, Xie Feng should have been stunned; but because the Pearl of Light elevated his soul’s league one step further, except for powerful skills or high charm like Gu Qianxue’s, it was practically impossible to stun Xie Feng.

The heavy attacks of the shields pushed Xie Feng back several steps and only after retreating ten feet he finally stopped.

Seeing that there were no stars floating above Shiva’s head; an indication of stunning, the shield guardians smiled bitterly. One of them unconsciously lowered his shield and murmured:

"Really... Perhaps several wolves can defeat a lion, but no matter how many sheep attacks; they can never defeat a wild lion."

Xie Feng nods silently. Then, as he dashed to the shield guardians, he said in a low voice, "If you want to blame someone, blame the arrogant commander."

*Boom!*

Swinging the Calamity Spear in a 180-degree arc in front of him, Xie Feng strikes the vast majority of the shield guardians at the same time and sends them flying. Not even two seconds later, all twenty shield guardians were dead. But none of them had a look of surprise on their faces at the moment of death.

After killing the players who obeyed Nangong Lei’s orders, Xie Feng looked back at Nangong Lei in silence.

Although Nangong Lei could not see his face directly, just being stared at by that strange black and white mask made all the hairs on his body stand up. However, just as he was about to take a step back, a hand patted his shoulder gently.

Looking over his shoulder, Nangong Lei saw Yao Zenyu standing silently, looking at Shiva calmly.

After what seemed like a silent eternity, Yao Zenyu’s mouth finally opened and he talked in an extremely calm voice: "Really impressive. I must honestly praise you. Although I have no idea how a level 16 player can be so powerful at this stage of the game, it is undeniable that you are extremely strong. I don’t know if you cheated by taking advantage of some bug in the system or not, but even so; congratulations."

When Xie Feng heard Yao Zenyu’s calm voice and saw his eyes calm as a stagnant lake, instead of feeling surprised; Xie Feng felt a strong intention to kill.

"I am surprised that you can still keep your cool after I not only stomped on you like I wanted to but even stomped on the guild that you are so proud of." Xie Feng smiled slightly.

Yao Zenyu’s lips rose slightly and he shook his head gently: "I admit that you killed me once, that’s an irrefutable fact. But to stomp on my guild God of Heaven..." Yao Zenyu started laughing as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "My God of Heaven will be a colossus with more than a hundred million players when the guild creation certificate appears. What you faced today is not even 1%! Aren’t you ashamed to talk big? Be careful, you might bite your tongue!"

After hearing Yao Zenyu’s words, many players realized the reality. Undoubtedly, Shiva was a terrifying player that no one, not even the two strongest guilds in China, should provoke. The consequences were already shown by a wide margin just a few seconds ago.

However, the God of Heaven and Sacred Wings guilds were not even officially formed yet! The 10,000 players that they gathered before was only a small part and even then, Yao Zenyu and Nangong Lei could gather so many players in only 1 or 2 minutes. This was more than enough proof to show the power of both men in the virtual world!

Feeling the eyes of the players changing again, Nangong Lei’s face improved dramatically. He looked at Xie Feng with hidden anger and quietly snorted at him.

Only now did Xie Feng understand why he wanted to kill Yao Zenyu so badly. Yao Zenyu was like a poisonous snake that smiles on the surface so that his prey lowers their guard before giving a fatal attack; he was that kind of person that no matter how much anger he felt, he never showed it and even if he showed it, it was probably fake anger so that no one could see through him.

Xie Feng’s face changed several times under his mace. He was deliberating whether he should kill Yao Zenyu and Nangong Lei again. But after thinking for a moment, he shook his head silently and decided not to do it.

After what Yao Zenyu said, it didn’t matter if Xie Feng killed him once more or a thousand times more at this point; the players would see it as normal. So, with a sigh, Xie Feng turned and said calmly: "You know, I could show you something fun that I haven’t used against you yet... But I guess that’s enough for now. Besides, this has already become boring."

Suddenly, Xie Feng stopped his steps and looked at Nangong Lei over the shoulder: "But... Let me warn you something... If anyone dares to put a single finger on her... I WILL MAKE THAT PERSON RETURN TO LEVEL 0 AND NEVER LEAVE THE CITY WALLS ALIVE AGAIN!"

If someone else had said this, everyone would have treated it as a joke. But out of this man’s mouth, not a single person dared to laugh. Besides, there was no one who dared to doubt his words... What he said was not a mere threat and the terrifying tone in his voice told everyone that if someone from the Sacred Wings guild really bothered this girl, he would really follow through on what he just said.

He was also telling everyone that anyone who offended this girl would be offending him. This, in turn, meant that they would have to pay the price for this crime.

All the players looked at Xie Yao and remembered her appearance as well as her nickname in their minds. As for the female players, almost all of them looked at her with envy.

Shiva was the best ranked in both the Chinese ranking lists and was a legendary person, everything he did for her today would make her name known to everyone. There would be no one who would dare to offend her and she would be free to do whatever she wanted in this world.

However, no matter how much surprise, fear, admiration, or envy the other players felt; they could not come close to even a minimal part of what Xie Yao felt. Her heart was beating so hard that she wondered if Gu Qianxue or Mu Wuying could hear it. Although she knew that Xie Feng saw her as the most important person in his life, his words only made Xie Yao drown even deeper in the river of love.

"Is that clear?" asked Xie Feng now in a calm tone.

A vein of anger appeared on Nangong Lei’s head and more cold sweat dripped down. Facing Xie Feng’s cold face without any expression, he felt as if a mountain were pressing on his heart. But to be teased like this in front of so many people, this was the first time he had experienced this in his life, how could he bear it? Fortunately for him, Yao Zenyu tapped his shoulder in silence and shook his head undetectably.

Taking a deep breath and releasing all the air in his lungs, Nangong Lei did his best and smiled, "Don’t worry. Actually, I was only joking... Really you don’t know how to take jokes lightly... If you knew a little more about me, you would know that my reputation among the ladies is quite good."

Xie Feng shook his head and chuckled. There was no need to continue chatting.

Now it was time to think about what to do next.
