Although the Mirage Beast was capable of duplicating a player's every skill, Shi Feng had already obtained a clear understanding of the Mirage Beast during this short period of time.
Shi Feng had previously activated the Ice-Blue Devil Flame after starting the battle. Yet, the Mirage Beast had not done so.
The Ice-Blue Devil Flame was not a skill Shi Feng had learned. Instead, it was an additional effect provided by the item known as the Ice-Blue Devil Flame. Hence, Shi Feng could say with certainty that the Mirage Beast was incapable of duplicating the additional skills of a player's equipment.
The moment the dark fog, which emanated from the Abyssal Blade, started permeating Shi Feng's body, a faint silvery-gray aura of death emerged on the surface of his body. Immediately, he charged at the Mirage Beast, while simultaneously activating Nine Dragons Slash. The twelve Abyssal Blade phantoms promptly started attacking the Mirage Beast the moment they came into existence.
When the Mirage Beast saw the twelve phantoms striking at it, it cleverly chose not to block them. Instead, it bombarded Shi Feng with a Thunder Flame Explosion. As long as Shi Feng died, the twelve Abyssal Blade phantoms would naturally disappear along with him.
Seeing the Mirage Beast's actions, Shi Feng simply revealed a calm smile. Rather than dodge the attack, however, Shi Feng chose to activate Defensive Blade and proceeded to assault the Mirage Beast's vital point.
Defensive Blade provided Shi Feng with complete immunity to four melee attacks. He could simply allow the Mirage Beast's attack to connect without needing to defend using his sword at all. Meanwhile, Shi Feng's twin swords had also landed on the Mirage Beast's body.
Previously, in order to block Shi Feng's Thunder Flame Explosion, the Mirage Beast had used up its own Defensive Blade. Hence, it had no choice but to endure Shi Feng's attacks right now.
Shi Feng took this chance to make seven consecutive slashes on the Mirage Beast's body. His normal attacks caused over -500 damage, while critical hits dealt over -1,000 damage.
Meanwhile, each of the Abyssal Blade phantoms could also inflict over -200 damage.
Out of the seven sword strikes Shi Feng landed on the Mirage Beast, four achieved a critical hit. Coupling those sword strikes with the attacks of the Abyssal Blade phantoms, Shi Feng dealt over -7,000 damage within this brief moment. It was a very impressive amount of damage.
However, the Mirage Beast, which had taken on Shi Feng's appearance, simply gave Shi Feng a smile of disdain.
The Mirage Beast looked as if it was saying, "This is your limit."
The Mirage Beast had 200,000 HP, so -7,000 damage was only a scratch to it. It would be perfectly fine again once it rubbed some spit on its wounds.
On the other hand, now that Shi Feng no longer possessed any lifesaving skills, only death awaited him.
"A high HP is really a great asset." Shi Feng sighed when he looked at the Mirage Beast's HP bar. In the next moment, though, Shi Feng revealed a smile, saying, "However, you are still ten years too early if you think you can overpower me just with this asset of yours alone."
Shi Feng activated the Purgatory Shadow's additional skill, Purgatory Power, increasing his Attack Speed by 100% and damage by 30% for 15 seconds.
Shi Feng then pointed the Abyssal Blade at the Mirage Beast charging at him.
