Chapter 481: Chapter 478: But You’re Already Dead

The six members of the War and Magic Alliance squad were instantly dumbfounded. By the time they reacted, a terrifying string of damage numbers was already floating above the head of the Magic Master surnamed Wei. His Qi Blood and life force were depleted in an instant.

As the Magic Master fell, a young man wielding dual daggers with pitch-black eyes appeared before the remaining five.

The other five never expected Feng Hao to suddenly attack, much less that he would go straight for the kill!

"How dare you kill a disciple of our War and Magic Alliance! You’re fucking tired of living, aren’t you?!"

The lead Defense Mage roared, swinging a pair of axes as he charged toward Feng Hao. At the same time, the other four launched their own attacks.

Unfortunately for them, they had run into Feng Hao—a man who had once outmaneuvered countless experts in the game *Mage*.

As the five swarmed him, Feng Hao immediately used [Moon Wheel Dance], neutralizing the force of their Secret Techniques while successfully forcing back the three melee Mages who had closed in.

He then arced in a Shadow Strike, bypassing the Defense Mage, and used [Rapid Shadow Slash] to easily close in on the Bow and Arrow Mage.

With a flick of his wrist, black energy surged. Wielding the immense destructive power of the Divine Spirit Dagger, he easily pierced the Bow and Arrow Mage’s leather armor.

The Bow and Arrow Mage was fragile to begin with; without the protection of his armor, he was utterly defenseless.

Facing this level of dark energy damage from Feng Hao, the Bow and Arrow Mage lost consciousness before he could even scream.

With two of their teammates dead in the blink of an eye, the others finally realized just how terrifying Feng Hao was.

"Dammit, this guy is at least eighth-rank! Quick, retreat—!"

The lead Defense Mage’s face went pale as he hastily led the others in a retreat.

’Thinking of running?’ Feng Hao sneered. A faint light flashed from his Spatial Ring as he flicked out a circular plate—it was the very [Sealing Array Plate] that Yao Girl had given him.

The moment the Array Plate appeared, fueled by an input of Feng Hao’s Magic Power, it instantly unfurled a bubble-like Array Barrier.

The four War and Magic Alliance disciples didn’t get far before the Array Barrier sealed them in. No matter how they attacked, the barrier remained unshakable.

This was the power of the Sealing Array. As long as it was supplied with enough Magic Power, it could trap any powerful enemy.

Moreover, by controlling the Array Plate, Feng Hao could adjust the Array’s restrictions: he could allow entry but not exit, or exit but not entry. Most importantly, it could block the fluctuations of Listening Stones and Origin Nodes.

"Fuck it! We’ll fight him to the death!"

Seeing that escape was hopeless, the four Mages, their faces deathly pale, gritted their teeth and charged back at Feng Hao.

The lead Defense Mage waved his hand, tossing out several streaks of golden light that quickly landed on himself and his three teammates, forming a faint golden halo over their armor.

Then, the four of them charged at Feng Hao like madmen.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Torrents of magical light surged and Sword Qi whistled. A life-and-death battle unfolded upon the desolate ruins.

Feng Hao’s footwork was light and his positioning erratic. Aided by [Shadow Strike], he easily weaved between the four of them, finding occasional opportunities to land a few glancing blows. He was fighting with ease.

The only thing that surprised him was that after being buffed by the Defense Mage, their armor had become exceptionally tough. Even his Divine Spirit Dagger couldn’t pierce it.

Furthermore, the golden halo clearly had a defensive enhancement effect, significantly reducing the damage Feng Hao dealt.

’A little interesting.’

Feng Hao smiled playfully. Slipping past their offensive blockade, he directly activated [Shadow Meld] and vanished from their sight.

With the Magic Master dead, the Divine Sense of these four was completely incapable of detecting Feng Hao’s whereabouts. Like headless flies, they could only attack the air around them wildly, wasting their Magic Power.

"Dammit, it’s a thief from the Thief God Hall!" The moment they saw him use [Shadow Meld], the four of them instantly realized who they were dealing with.

Under normal circumstances, if they encountered a stealth Secret Technique from the Thief God Hall, they could have chosen to flee. But now, they were trapped by the Array Barrier and couldn’t escape even if they wanted to.

"By killing disciples of the War and Magic Alliance, aren’t you afraid of provoking a conflict between our two factions?!" the Defense Mage demanded, his expression grim.

The words had barely left his mouth when a piercing scream came from the Gun Magic Master, who then collapsed limply to the ground.

At the same time, Feng Hao’s figure reappeared before them.

"Everything requires proof. You were clearly killed by magical beasts, weren’t you?"

Feng Hao smiled wickedly and slipped back into [Shadow Meld]. Then, amidst the terrified cries of the remaining three, he emerged from the shadows again and again. Each appearance was followed by a fluid combo of Secret Techniques, and each combo was accompanied by the fall of another War and Magic Alliance disciple.

In the end, only the Defense Mage was left, desperately holding on.

But it had to be said, this man was truly a top-tier Defense Mage. Relying on a peculiar Gang Qi Secret Technique and his own powerful defense, he had actually managed to withstand a full burst combo from Feng Hao.

What surprised Feng Hao even more was that the man also had a [Bloodbath] talent. As his Qi Blood dropped, he seemed to grow even more ferocious in battle.

"I admit you’re strong, but if you want to kill me, you’ll have to pay a steep price!"

The Defense Mage’s eyes were blood-red, and he had clearly fallen into a berserk state, posturing as if he intended to take Feng Hao down with him.

"Is that so?" Feng Hao said with a faint, unsmiling smirk. "But you’re already dead."

"Ridiculous! I still have a third of my Qi Blood left. How could I just drop dead?" the Defense Mage sneered arrogantly, swinging his axes at him.

But Feng Hao remained unhurried. When the Defense Mage was less than two meters away, he casually flicked his hand toward him.

The instant he flicked his hand, an invisible and bizarre energy surged into the Defense Mage’s body.

The next moment, the Defense Mage felt as if he’d been plunged into an ice cellar. His movements came to an abrupt halt, and he lost consciousness in his bewilderment.

’So what if you have a third of your Qi Blood? I never planned on draining it all from the start.’

That was right. What Feng Hao had just used was one of the Five Sons’ Legacies—[Life Ender].

Feng Hao chuckled and dusted off his hands. He glanced at the Defense Mage’s corpse at his feet, recalled the Sealing Array Plate, and then unhurriedly began to destroy the bodies to erase all traces.

’To be honest, he wasn’t a naturally cruel person. If he’d met them under different circumstances, as long as they weren’t courting death, he might have even let them live. After all, he had stolen their monster kill earlier, so he knew he was somewhat in the wrong.’

’But they never should have tried to touch the remains of the Silver Moon Wolf couple. On top of that, they had the fucking nerve to act tough in front of him, throwing around the War and Magic Alliance’s name. They were clearly asking to die!’

After completely destroying the six corpses, Feng Hao began digging again.

Half a day later, thanks to his careful work, a grave mound built from scorched earth stood in the wasteland left behind by the [Nirvanic Fission].

Finally, Feng Hao found a piece of stone that had been melted into a vitrified, glass-like state and personally carved a tombstone for the Silver Moon Wolf couple.

After finishing all this, Feng Hao let the little one out of his pet wristband.

"Woo... woo... woo!"

Seeing the grave Feng Hao had built for its parents, the little cub showed a hint of gratitude, but it couldn’t hide the deep sadness in its eyes.
