Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God

Chapter 1025 – Tier 7?

“Guild Leader?”

Besides Lunar River, Hidden Soul and the others similarly stared at Shi Feng with their mouths gaping and eyes bulging.

After transforming into a 10,000-meter-tall giant, Fist Emperor was a bona fide Tier 7 Lifeform. Even though he could only achieve the standard of Gold Holy Arts with his every move in this body, he was still a Tier 7 combatant, a height few across the three races could reach.

Yet, Shi Feng had not only withstood a Tier 7 combatant’s attack head-on but had also done so with just one hand. This situation shattered everyone’s understanding of the Swordsman class.

“You! How?!”

Fist Emperor similarly had not expected Shi Feng to block his attack.

Before making his move, Fist Emperor had considered various possibilities as to how Shi Feng would respond to his attack, such as dodging, blocking, or running away. The only possibility he never considered was of Shi Feng stopping his punch with one hand without losing any HP. For a moment, Fist Emperor even suspected his Ancestral Transformation was a sham. Either that or a bug had occurred in the Main God System.

…

“He blocked a Holy Ancestor’s attack with one hand?! How much Strength does he have?!”

Daystar, Tyrant Claw, and Morning Echo stared at Shi Feng in horror when they saw Shi Feng stopping Fist Emperor’s attack seemingly effortlessly.

They had witnessed Fist Emperor’s Ancestral Transformation in action before, so they knew how powerful it was. Under normal circumstances, they could only block Fist Emperor’s punches if they used a Pseudo-Tier 7 Skill.

…

Besides Daystar and the others, Elise and Garuda also paused their fight to stare at Shi Feng, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Has he used his Legacy Berserk Skill and Divine Blood already? Elise wondered, her indifference replaced by confusion.

An attack from a Tier 7 Lifeform was something even she would need a Pseudo-Tier 7 Spell to counter. The fact that Shi Feng could stop Fist Emperor’s attack with one hand meant his Strength Attribute had reached a heaven-defying level. As far as she knew, only Zero Wing’s rumored Divine Blood could let Shi Feng obtain such Strength.

During Shi Feng’s absence from the Eternal Realm, Zero Wing had relied on Divine Blood and Light of Dawn Magic Bombs to keep its several dozen NPC Cities safe throughout the war.

Divine Blood allowed Zero Wing’s elite experts to match, and sometimes even surpass, Divine Set users of the same level in Basic Attributes, while Light of Dawn allowed Zero Wing’s members to launch numerous Pseudo-Tier 7 attacks with no Cooldown. Because of this, Zero Wing only needed a few dozen elite experts to firmly defend an NPC City. This, in turn, made Zero Wing famous across the three races.

If Shi Feng used Divine Blood and a Legacy Berserk Skill together, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to match Fist Emperor in Strength.

…

“So what if you can match me in Strength?! You will still die here today!” Fist Emperor bellowed as he created over a dozen true doppelgangers and had them simultaneously execute Devouring Shadow, a Peak Gold Holy Art known for enhancing its user’s Attack Speed to the extremes.

Suddenly, Fist Emperor and his doppelgangers transformed into colossal shadows that swept toward Shi Feng, their speed so fast most of the Tier 6 experts present failed to react to them.

In response to the colossal shadows approaching him, Shi Feng unsheathed the Shadow Incinerator and lashed out with it.

Sword’s Orbit!

The colossal shadows suddenly stopped moving when they collided with the blooming sword lights. A moment later, they even shattered and exploded.

Before anyone could figure out what had happened, Fist Emperor and his doppelgangers were sent flying thousands of yards away, their HP bars decreasing by a visible chunk.

“Impossible! How can you be so fast?!” Fist Emperor glared at Shi Feng, his heart full of doubts.

The Skyquake Set had two Tier 7 Profound Skills. One of them was Ancestral Transformation, while the other was Myriad Clones. Myriad Clones allowed him to create up to 100 true doppelgangers that had 100% of his current Basic Attributes.

Although Fist Emperor could have created 100 true doppelgangers, he limited himself to just 13 true doppelgangers as he could only execute up to 14 instances of Devouring Shadow simultaneously.

Nonetheless, 14 instances of Devouring Shadow were more than enough to let Fist Emperor overwhelm Garuda. Even with Lightning Transformation active, Garuda could defend against only four Devouring Shadows at most. Yet, Shi Feng had not only blocked all 14 Devouring Shadows but also damaged Fist Emperor and his doppelgangers.

“What a monster! Is Black Flame really not in the top 20?” Morning Echo exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise when she saw Fist Emperor getting suppressed despite using his trump cards.

Fist Emperor’s Ancestral Transformation was no less powerful than Garuda’s Lightning Transformation. It even trumped Garuda’s Lightning Transformation in terms of offensive capabilities. Yet, Shi Feng still handily suppressed Fist Emperor. This made Shi Feng even more terrifying than Elise.

“Daystar, should we help Fist Emperor first? Or prioritize dealing with Elise?” Tyrant Claw asked when he saw things weren’t looking good for Fist Emperor.

Without help, it would only be a matter of time before Garuda and Fist Emperor were defeated. Hence, intervention was necessary. However, if they wanted to kill Elise or Shi Feng quickly, at least four had to work together.

“Let’s help Garuda first. Fist Emperor has his doppelgangers. Even after his Ancestral Transformation ends, Black Flame will have trouble killing him quickly,” Daystar said after analyzing the situation. “Moreover, our main target this time is Elise. The Twilight Fortress comes second.”

Tyrant Claw and Morning Echo nodded. Although they’d undoubtedly have to face Shi Feng if they wanted to capture the Twilight Fortress, Elise concerned their future. They naturally had to prioritize dealing with her.

However, before the trio could take action against Elise, Shi Feng suddenly flicked the Shadow Incinerator at Fist Emperor.

Goddess-ranked Mana Technique, Dark Moon!

One… Two… Three…

Fourteen Dark Moons appeared in the blink of an eye, slashing at Fist Emperor and his doppelgangers. Although Fist Emperor and his doppelgangers tried their best to block these attacks, their movements simply couldn’t keep up with the speed of these Dark Moons. All they could do was watch as the Dark Moons bisected them and ended their lives.

He’s…dead? Daystar’s eyes widened in disbelief as she watched Fist Emperor and his doppelgangers collapse one after another. How is this possible?! How can a Tier 7 Lifeform fail to react in time?!

Besides Daystar, Garuda and Elise again paused their fight to stare at Shi Feng, their eyes practically falling out of their sockets.

What kind of Attack Speed was that?! How did I fail to catch that?! Elise focused on Shi Feng’s cloaked silhouette. When she saw that Shi Feng had concealed his information, she used the Peak Identification Skill she learned by chance on him, only to be dumbfounded. “Tier…7?”
