It was certainly not a coincidence.
Yi Tianchen had taken a sword strike simply to uncover the identity of his opponent. However, he was genuinely surprised when he heard the System's notification. Although he wasn't very familiar with the ID Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind, the prefix "Sword Shadow" immediately reminded him of an organization—
the Shadow Assassin Guild!
Mentioning the Shadow Assassin Guild carried significant weight for players who had experienced the previous game, Conquest. Three years ago, Yi Tianchen had faded from the gaming scene due to amnesia, but now that his memories were returning, he was no stranger to this assassination group that once swept through Conquest.
However, the Shadow Assassin Guild only had six members. It was said that they were all close friends in real life, making a living in the game by taking on assassination contracts. As long as the Employer could pay the price, there was no one or nothing that the Shadow Assassin Guild couldn't handle, and their reputation naturally soared.
Three years ago, when the Shadow Assassin Guild was at its peak, many players lived in constant fear. They were like shadows, impossible to find, yet could appear beside their targets without warning, leaving many with no means of defense and forcing numerous players to delete their accounts and quit.
Not long after, Yi Tianchen unexpectedly lost his memory and thus had no recollection of the Shadow Assassin Guild. However, just based on the prefix "Sword Shadow," he couldn't prove that this person before him was a former member of the guild; he had no impression of this person's face at all.
"Interesting!"
Muttering to himself, Yi Tianchen downed a Level 5 Health Potion and jumped back several steps to create some distance but did not immediately launch an attack. Not a Master, Stinky Fish, Far Apart, and Mu Wanqing rushed in one after another, forming an overwhelming 5v1 situation.
Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind was taken aback; if they all attacked together, he truly wouldn't be able to withstand it! With a thought, he stepped back a few paces and smiled, saying, "Tsk tsk, looks like you're all planning to gang up on me! But... as the old saying goes, in the world of martial arts, if you can't handle it, just retreat!"
As he spoke, he turned to flee. However, he suddenly heard Yi Tianchen's cold voice approaching from afar: "Do you really think you can escape?"
Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind's heart sank; could it be that this guy really intended to kill him? But then he thought about how he had also harbored murderous intent earlier. Why should he be allowed to have such thoughts while his opponent could not? If this got out, it wouldn't hold up at all!
But harboring murderous intent was one thing; whether one could achieve their goal was another matter entirely! As Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind pondered this, he tried to move his feet but found himself unable to lift them. The three little stars spinning above his head were moving incredibly fast; his heart dropped as he realized he had been stunned.
Tears streamed down Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind's face as he recalled how Yi Tianchen had previously used a speed-boosting skill to intercept him. It seemed that not only had his Speed increased but it also came with a deadly stun effect. Coupled with the delay from earlier, that skill's cooldown must have already expired.
Taking advantage of Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind's momentary turn, Yi Tianchen suddenly unleashed Savage Charge. With a 500% Speed boost added on top of it, he moved like a whirlwind. In an instant flash of movement, Yi Tianchen appeared right in front of Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind and swiftly threw down a dark circle of light.
"It's over!"
With a cold voice, Yi Tianchen's gaze darkened. The chill emanating from his Dragon's Roar intensified as a dazzling golden light surged forth. With a sharp sound that sliced through the air, he struck down on Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind's shoulder, breaking the opponent's dizziness. He followed up with swift steps, and blood splattered everywhere—
Death Entanglement Level 2! Blade Break Slash Level 2! Hell Combo Level 1!
The three skills connected seamlessly, leaving Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind in a severely weakened state. Although the first skill, Blade Break Slash, dispelled Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind's dizziness immediately, Yi Tianchen had already anticipated this. With a quick arc of movement, he pursued relentlessly, landing two sharp strikes from Hell Combo.
"Damn it!"
A chill ran through Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind's heart as he realized there was no chance to escape. He pivoted and swung his sword in response, determined to take Yi Tianchen down with him. Yi Tianchen closed in step by step, resolute in his intent to deliver a fatal blow in this critical moment.
"Little Bear, seven o'clock direction, Heavy Strike!"
Yi Tianchen's voice echoed as Not a Master’s expression turned serious, displaying a fierce combativeness. Regardless of whether the opponent was strong or weak, he raised his heavy sword and brought it down with great force. The sharp blade of light combined with the Berserker's innate high strength crashed down like an avalanche.
MISS!
The indicator flashed, but Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind couldn't relax for a moment; he felt a chill run down his spine. At this point, he fully understood that Not a Master's Heavy Strike was merely a smokescreen set up by Yi Tianchen. The real killing move was the stealthy follow-up attack that would come next.
Because Yi Tianchen had not only given orders to Not a Master but also to Stinky Fish. The difference was that Not a Master received his command publicly—one that Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind could hear—while Stinky Fish received his orders through the team channel.
Cleave Level 2! Normal Attack!
Stinky Fish executed his skill just as Yi Tianchen followed up with a Normal Attack, effectively providing double insurance for the kill. Already low on health, Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind could not withstand the combined assault from both players. He felt himself grow lighter and collapsed to the ground, releasing his soul.
"Haha... this guy is really pathetic!" Not a Master laughed heartily, still reveling in how easily Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind had fallen for their trick. After picking up some dropped coins and potions, he said seriously, "Fallen Wood Boss, should we guard this guy's body in case he tries to come back?"
Yi Tianchen shook his head, unable to utter a word, when a notification suddenly popped up.
System Notification: Player [Sword Shadow Judgment Demon God] used skill [Purifying Flame Lv-2]. Your teammate [Hero Does Not Question Origin] received 140% Fire Magic damage, losing 4560 Vitality; your teammate [Hero Does Not Question Origin] has died!
"Damn!" Not a Master shouted.
Yi Tianchen was taken aback; another ID with the prefix "Sword Shadow." Could it be that the earlier speculation was true? Were these sudden opponents actually members of the former Shadow Assassin Guild? Or perhaps they were merely admirers of the guild?
Indeed, admiration in the online gaming world was not uncommon. Just look at the top ten or even top hundred on the leaderboard—who among them didn’t have a few admirers? Since the game's inception, there had always been players who adopted similar IDs to their idols out of admiration.
However, this was clearly not the time to verify that question. Suppressing his inner doubts, Yi Tianchen first checked on Liu Yuhan and the others. He then confirmed the number of opponents through The Terminator of Regrets, finally determining that there were six individuals present, including the already fallen Sword Shadow Shattered Flow Wind.
Moreover, each person's ID began with "Sword Shadow"…
