Aqua Rose and the others noticed the Crimson Shadow Wolf's sudden change immediately.
However, the Zero Wing team was more focused on Shi Feng than they were on the Rare Lord's reaction.
Despite having been struck by the Crimson Shadow Wolf's Flying Knee-kick, not only had the Wolf failed to throw his prey into the air, but Shi Feng also managed to block the Rare Lord.
"How did Guild Leader manage to do that?"
Flying Shadow was thoroughly confused when he saw the gray Abyssal Blade block the sawtooth dagger, halting its advance. Was there really a person capable of defending against that kind of speed?
The rest of the team was similarly tongue-tied.
"He should have used some sort of special skill, I think," Fire Dance said with uncertainty.
Fire Dance had barely seen the Crimson Shadow Wolf's attack. Although she knew that Shi Feng was astonishingly fast, he was still much slower than the Rare Lord.
The Crimson Shadow Wolf's attack was just like Shi Feng's Void Steps: extremely elusive. However, in the Crimson Shadow Wolf's case, it had not incorporated any techniques into its attack; it had relied solely on its speed.
Compared to Void Steps, where its user would momentarily disappear and reappear shortly after, the Crimson Shadow Wolf's disappearance and reappearance occurred simultaneously. There had been no time between the two occurrences at all. It was like a mage's Instantaneous Movement skill. However, no mage could use the skill frequently. Moreover, the Crimson Shadow Wolf's Attack Speed was much faster than its Movement Speed.
In martial arts, only speed was unbreakable!
This saying was not baseless. If players could not even see or sense an attack, how were they supposed to block it?
Yet, Shi Feng had detected such the strike and promptly blocked it...
Fire Dance considered herself to be an expert among Assassins, and she was slightly more insightful than others. However, she did not understand how Shi Feng had managed to block the Crimson Shadow Wolf's attack.
However, before anyone could figure it out, the Crimson Shadow Wolf continued its assault.
Shadow Strike!
Suddenly, the Rare Lord transformed into a streak of black light that pierced through Shi Feng's body.
"Look out!" Fire Dance shouted a warning, but she was too late.
Shadow Strike was one of most lethal moves an Assassin possessed. It could devour almost half the HP of an MT of the same level with a single hit. The attack could even drop a Berserker's HP to a critical level. Shadow Strike was also the fastest skill in an Assassin's repertoire. One could only defend themselves against this skill with a skill. Fire Dance had never expected that the Crimson Shadow Wolf would know it as well.
However, even after the Rare Lord struck Shi Feng, its intense expression had not relaxed in the slightest. On the contrary, it had grown even more solemn as it glowered at Shi Feng, emitting a low, angry growl.
It turned out that the skill had not struck Shi Feng, but his afterimage.
"Aooo!" The Crimson Shadow Wolf was furious. Suddenly, it launched a series of violent attacks at Shi Feng, disappearing in one moment and appearing in the next.
The pitch-black daggers transformed into countless streaks of light that bombarded the formidable Blade Saint.
However, Shi Feng also vanished and reappeared repeatedly, and the Abyssal Blade and the Purgatory's Shadow responded with their own streaks of light, blocking every attack sent at their owner.
