After dodging the fatal horse-slaying spear tip, a pair of spare green claw blades appeared in each of her hands.

They were backup weapons she had always kept hidden behind her waist.

Both blades struck out together!

Puff! Puff!

Two more strikes, slashing fiercely into the same wound!

-65! -65!

The Commander of Five Hundred twisted its body frantically, finally shaking off Shadow Snake!

Shadow Snake flipped backward, landing on the ground with both blades crossed in front of her chest as she vanished into the shadows.

The Commander of Five Hundred's health bar instantly plummeted by half!

The deep blue flames in its eye sockets flickered wildly as it scanned its surroundings in a rage, trying to find the attacker.

But Shadow Snake had already disappeared, completely vanishing into the shadows that permeated the battlefield.

The Commander of Five Hundred couldn't find her, but it could find Lin Feng, the human who had provoked it head-on.

It spurred its warhorse once more, preparing to charge toward Lin Feng!

Shadow Snake lunged out from the shadows again!

Moving like a ghost, she struck with both blades, aiming straight for the heavily injured wound on the back of the Commander of Five Hundred's neck!

Puff! Puff!

-65! -65!

The Commander of Five Hundred let out a roar and twisted its body abruptly, swinging its horse-slaying spear upward from beneath its ribs, trailing a streak of black light that tore through the air!

Shadow Snake was prepared; she crouched low and rolled across the ground, just barely dodging the sharp horse-slaying spear tip!

But she didn't retreat far.

She prowled along the edge of the Commander of Five Hundred's warhorse's shadow, like a shadow that could never be shaken off.

【Shadow Step · Active】!

The fifteen-second cooldown had just finished!

She instantly appeared in the shadow beside the Commander of Five Hundred's warhorse, both blades stabbing out simultaneously!

-63! -62!

The deep blue flames in the Commander of Five Hundred's eye sockets flickered violently for a moment.

Shadow Snake gave it no room to breathe.

She let go of the claw blades and reached out with her left hand, grabbing the deep blue fang still embedded in the Commander of Five Hundred's neck!

She pulled the blade!

And stabbed again!

This time, she aimed straight for the Commander of Five Hundred's jaw, which was wide open from its roar!

The deep blue fang pierced through the upper palate and out through the top of its head!

-120! (Critical Hit!!!)

The Commander of Five Hundred's movements froze completely. Those deep blue flames flickered violently before suddenly going out—like a candle blown out by a gale.

Its massive body crashed down from the Skeleton Warhorse, hitting the ground and kicking up a cloud of grayish-white dust.

Shadow Snake landed back on the ground with it, kneeling on one knee and panting heavily.

Lin Feng was also looking at her.

Across two hundred meters of battlefield, across countless Skeleton Soldiers that were burning and collapsing.

He raised his Wildfire Spear and gave her a slight nod.

The corner of Shadow Snake's mouth curled into a faint smile, then she stood up and vanished into the shadows once more.

The more than three hundred Skeleton Soldiers who had lost their commander fell into complete chaos.

On the wooden wall, Zhao Hu was the first to react.

He raised his bone-crushing greatsword, his eyes burning with a frenzied will to fight, and roared at the ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) top of his lungs:

"Shadow Snake killed the Commander of Five Hundred!!! What are you all standing around for!!! Kill!!! Kill them all for me!!!"

"Kill—!!!"

Tie Dun's roar was like a thunderclap as he was the first to jump down from the wooden wall, his ironwall greatshield like a moving wall, crashing into the remaining skeleton army!

The seven Beacon Guards, their halberds like a forest, jumped off the wooden wall in unison!

Wang Wu and Arrow Eye's arrows poured down from the wall like a rainstorm, each arrow precisely piercing the eye socket of a skeleton!

Scarface Liu and A Wang led thirty Awakened, charging out from below the wall!

Shadow Snake's figure flickered frantically through the shadows of the skeleton army. Every time the deep blue fang flashed, a skeleton's head would fly!

The battle shifted from a defensive struggle into a massacre.

As for Lin Feng—he stood in the very center of the skeleton army, watching that deep blue figure appearing and disappearing in the shadows, the smile on his face growing wider.

Then, he gripped his long spear tightly once more.

Kill.

...

Blue Star, Great Xia, a certain city.

The energy bar in Chen Hao's hand fell onto his pants.

He didn't notice at all.

His eyes were glued to the deep blue figure on the screen, flickering through the shadows and delivering lethal blow after lethal blow.

The bullet chat had gone completely insane:

"Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap—!!!"

"That woman!!! That beautiful girl!!! She killed the Commander of Five Hundred by herself!!!"

"What did I just see??? A Level 15 elite monster, taken out by her in one combo???"

"Is this a freaking Assassin??? This is a God of Death!!!"

"The first strike was a sneak attack! Then she kited and distracted it for a full dozen seconds! Finally, she blinked back to take the kill! Perfect!!!"

"Wait, what class is that woman? How can she use blink twice in a fight?"

"Assassin class! Definitely a rare Assassin class!!!"

"Kiting for over ten seconds, always on the edge of death, and finally timing the cooldown perfectly for the finishing blow... this woman is too strong!"

"No, no, look at that Lord! He drew the fire of the entire skeleton army by himself! Without him charging in and setting that fire, their formation would never have broken!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Right! No matter how strong she is, without the Lord tanking the skeleton army and several Centurions head-on, she would never have had the chance to get close!"

"Coordination! Perfect coordination! The Lord distracts from the front, the Assassin kites and chips away from the side, and then takes the kill! This is true tactics!"

"What coordination? Isn't he just a meat shield to draw aggro? Didn't the woman get the kill in the end anyway?"

"Are you blind? If the Lord hadn't killed three Centurions and burned a hundred skeletons in front, would she have had the chance to sneak attack?"

"Exactly! That woman is indeed powerful, but the Lord's frontal distraction was the key! Without him holding them off, she would have been buried in a sea of skeletons from the start!"

"Relying on a woman is relying on a woman, why make excuses?"

"Relying on a woman??? You damn well couldn't even beat one woman, yet they pulled off perfect coordination with a rare class Assassin to kill a Level 15 elite monster, and here you are being salty?"

"If that woman is a rare class, then that Lord definitely isn't simple either! For a solo Lord to have this kind of setup, he's definitely a pro!"

"I don't care who killed it, I just know Great Xia has another badass territory! Fenhuo Village is awesome!"

"Great Xia is awesome!!! Fenhuo Village is awesome!!!"

"Where are the Sakura Country trolls??? Come out and show yourselves!!!"

"Where are the people who said they wouldn't last ten minutes??? Come out!!!"

"Lin Feng!!! Shadow Snake!!! Badass!!!"

The bullet chat scrolled frantically. Some were hyping Shadow Snake, others were crediting Lin Feng; the two groups were tearing into each other in the chat, and the popularity was skyrocketing.

And Chen Hao, amidst the chaotic screen of bullet chat, stared blankly at the figure fighting a bloody battle in the skeleton army and that deep blue light flickering in the shadows, muttering to himself:

"This coordination of yours..."

"Is just too damn cool..."
