The black dragon's roar shook the sky, loud enough that anyone nearby would notice it.
"What a powerful roar; a high-level monster must've spawned somewhere nearby."
"We'll be rich if it's a Chieftain!"
"Let's go and take a look! We can't let others snatch it from us!"
When a team of over 20 players a short distance from the tomb noticed the black dragon's roar, they finished off the monsters they currently faced and rushed over to the tomb.
The Watch Cemetery was a land of treasures, and one could even discover a treasure chest by accidentally falling into a hole. However, powerful monsters were rare in the Watch Cemetery, and normally, these monsters lingered near treasures. This had already become a publicly acknowledged trend.
This monster's roar alone was already so powerful. No one who heard it would risk missing this opportunity.
At the same time, many other teams who had heard this frightening roar also ran towards the tomb and Shi Feng.
At the epicenter of the roar, however, one man and one dragon stared each other down. The dragon released a frightening aura, and the surrounding air had started begun to stagnate.
"Is this the Backlash?"
At this moment, Shi Feng had heightened his five senses to their very limits, wearing a grim expression. All of his concentration was on the black dragon phantom before him. Although the black dragon was not the real thing, only a phantom, Shi Feng proceeded with caution.
Moreover, Shi Feng had not reacted in such a way intentionally. His response had been an unconscious decision.
The chilling killing intent in the phantom's gaze was so intense that Shi Feng was breathless. He had never felt anything like this before, even against a Great Lord.
Shi Feng had never encountered the Backlash of a Magic Weapon before. He had also never heard about what exactly occurred during a Backlash.
However, seeing that so many top-tier experts had fallen to it in the past, a Magic Weapon's Backlash was no trivial matter. A single mistake and Shi Feng might end up with a crippled character. This was also why every player had to consider their options carefully when they obtained a Magic Weapon.
While Shi Feng prepared to face a powerful enemy, the black dragon's phantom only pinned Shi Feng with its crimson eyes. It had not attacked.
"You're not going to strike?" Shi Feng was slightly surprised.
Although Shi Feng had not taken any measures to deal with the Abyssal Blade's Backlash, his brain activity's improvement had allowed him to reach the Refinement Realm. With the techniques he had learned, he was already more powerful than he had been in the past, so he was confident that he could deal with the Backlash.
The black dragon's phantom suddenly revealed a human-like sneer, deep disdain filling its eyes as it glared at Shi Feng. Following which, the phantom vanished, leaving behind only a pile of ruins and the Abyssal Blade, which buried its blade in the ground.
At this moment, the Abyssal Blade had recovered its original black color and was now thoroughly pitch-black. There was a faint layer of black smoke surrounding it, and no one could see the weapon during the dead of night.
"Is this not the Backlash?" Shi Feng examined the Abyssal Blade, disbelief coloring his expression. "Sure enough, the more I level up the Abyssal Blade, the more powerful the black dragon becomes, and the weaker the suppression becomes."
