Chapter 99: Chapter 9: Moon Treasure Bottle, Hunter Arrives at the Sect

After Feng Yin dodged the Bishop’s massive fireball, he sprinted forward, closing the ten-meter gap in the blink of an eye. The next moment, he swung his Canfeng Sword, Slashing at his opponent.

The Bishop, gripping his Scepter, pointed it forward. The gemstone at the Scepter’s tip gleamed, projecting a phantom shield formed of strange Energy.

CRACK.

The Canfeng Sword’s Slashing was blocked by this Secret Energy Shield as if it had struck solid metal. Feng Yin didn’t linger in the fight. He immediately withdrew his sword and used Stealing Step to retreat.

A split second later, three fireballs shot by the peripheral Monks punched into the spot where he had just been standing.

BOOM BOOM BOOM.

Two of the fireballs crashed into the Bishop’s shield, noticeably causing damage to it. A thought struck Feng Yin. Originally, in the "game," the fireballs from these mobs wouldn’t have any effect on the Leader.

"It seems that after the game’s Materialization, this friendly fire immunity setting is gone too..." he thought.

Feng Yin’s mind raced, but his movements didn’t stop. He immediately doubled back to face the Bishop again and delivered a heavy slash.

CRACK.

The Secret Energy Shield emitted an illusory sound of shattering. Feng Yin was just about to follow up with another strike to completely shatter the shield when he saw the gemstone on the Bishop’s Scepter flash once more. He cautiously used Stealing Step again, instantly retreating five meters away.

Meanwhile, the Bishop’s Secret Technique had already erupted.

HUMMM!

An eerie lunar Array rapidly expanded outward from beneath the Bishop’s feet. Feng Yin turned and ran. He knew very well that if he was caught by this Array, he would be forcefully trapped inside. If he couldn’t run far enough away and ended up trapped within a small radius... facing the Secret Technique attacks of the Bishop and the three Monks in such close quarters would be an absolute nightmare.

The Array expanded at an extreme Speed. Feng Yin had only run about five meters before it caught up to him. An invisible barrier instantly halted his footsteps. It felt as if he had crashed into a soft but completely impenetrable wall of air.

"Damned Secret Technique!" he cursed inwardly.

Fortunately, counting the distance from his earlier Stealing Step, the Array’s confinement area had expanded into a circle with a diameter of twenty meters. Such a spacious area was more than enough for Feng Yin to dodge all incoming attacks. He immediately turned back and retreated, once again dodging three cross-firing fireballs shot by the Monks.

The flight Speed of these fireballs wasn’t particularly fast. As long as he kept a close eye on them, he wouldn’t be hit. Of course, this was also because Feng Yin had prepared in advance, killing the peripheral Monks until only three remained. If he hadn’t killed any and directly engaged the Boss, he would now be facing a volley of fireballs from thirty Monks. Don’t ask how he knew that—those were the tears shed from past failures.

As these thoughts surged, Feng Yin saw the gemstone on the Bishop’s Scepter light up again. The next moment, a massive, five-meter-long blood-red Light shot upward from the gemstone. The entire Scepter transformed into a hilt, and the blood-red Light erupting from the gemstone became a blade. The Bishop’s eyes gleamed with an intimidating red Light. Gripping the Scepter, he assumed a stance ready to swing and strode swiftly toward Feng Yin!

"Damned Mage!"

Cursing inwardly, Feng Yin didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced, sprinting straight toward the Bishop. The distance between the two rapidly closed. The moment Feng Yin entered his attack range, the Bishop violently swung his arm in a horizontal sweep. The blood-red flaming greatsword swept from the left, aiming straight for Feng Yin’s waist!

At this exact moment, Feng Yin’s figure blurred as his feet executed an eerie, high-frequency footwork. Although Spirituality was precious, just to be safe, he had spent a spare Seven points of Spirituality to replenish Seven points of Secret Energy before entering this stage. This Secret Energy was enough for him to use Shadow Flash twice and Blood Flame once!

One point of Secret Energy was deducted.

Stealing Step received an Enhancement, transforming into the unique Positional Skill of the Owl Hunting Form—

Shadow Flash!

In the next split second, Feng Yin burst forward like a teleportation flash, leaving behind an afterimage that was cleaved cleanly in two by the blood-red greatsword. The Secret Technique Greatsword lost none of its momentum. It carved a perfect semi-circle with a five-meter radius in front of the Bishop before finally vanishing.

But Feng Yin had already appeared behind the Bishop. He brought the Canfeng Sword down in a heavy cleave!

SHATTER.

The Secret Energy Shield instantly exploded into fragments beneath Feng Yin’s blade. The Bishop hurriedly spun around. He had barely raised his Scepter, and the gemstone at its tip hadn’t even lit up yet. But Feng Yin had already reversed his grip and slashed upward!

SWISH!

The Canfeng Sword sliced through the Bishop’s right arm like a hot knife through butter. The Scepter plummeted alongside the severed arm, the Light of its gemstone dimming before it could even erupt. Using the momentum, Feng Yin swung the flat of the Canfeng Sword, smacking the Scepter squarely and sending it flying ten meters away before it could even hit the ground!

This was the change brought about after the game’s Materialization. Originally in the game, even if a Mage-type Leader was engaged in close combat by a Warrior player, they would merely take damage and lose HP. But after Materialization, things were different. Once the Secret Magic Shield shattered, how could the Bishop’s physical body possibly withstand Feng Yin’s Slashing?

The Bishop let out a shrill roar, staggering backward.

Feng Yin wasn’t about to give him any chance to turn the tables. He had already assumed the Forehead-to-forehead Form, his figure dashing forward for the kill in an instant.

Soaring Dragon Sky-Piercing!

The piercing air pressure squeezed out a roar resembling a dragon’s cry. The Canfeng Sword abruptly pierced through the Sacrificial Moon Bishop’s chest, carrying him several meters away. Without a moment’s pause, Feng Yin directly pivoted, stomped the ground, and twisted his waist. While the Canfeng Sword was still embedded in the enemy’s body, he executed another Fixed Form.

Azure Dragon Shocking Horn!

The Canfeng Sword viciously slashed upward, instantly slicing open half of the Bishop’s chest cavity. Amidst the filthy black blood and necrotic heart and lungs, an eerie crystal core gleamed. The moment it was exposed, a terrifying burst of Secret Energy expanded, sending Feng Yin flying away.

Feng Yin swiftly adjusted his posture in mid-air. The instant he landed, he vaulted to the side.

BOOM BOOM BOOM.

He dodged another three fireballs. Meanwhile, enveloped by the erupting Secret Energy, the Sacrificial Moon Bishop before him had transformed into an inhuman monster.
