Chapter 1175: No. 2's Talent

Thud!

A clear zither note rang out, Feng Feng Shi pressed the strings with her left hand and plucked rapidly with her right, and a tangible sound wave immediately spread outward.

That sound wave was not a flat ripple but a three‑dimensional sphere, affecting all directions except the mountain beneath them.

Bang!

The sound wave swept past, distorting the space 30 meters ahead to the left for a moment, and a transparent figure was flung backward.

That was the permanently invisible No. 12, exposed by this repelling sound; however, the sound caused no damage, merely a pushing force outward.

Nos. 11, 13, and 20, who had charged forward together with No. 12, were also driven back.

Even many incoming shells were flung away by this ring of sound waves; only two beams of light, moving too fast to block, struck Xiao Feng and Feng Feng Shi.

Both suffered minor injuries, but their defenses were strong enough that they did not die.

Xiao Feng saw that Feng Feng Shi was on the defensive, and that he and Li Li had not been pushed back, showing she could control her skill's targets flexibly.

Since she was on defense, the task of dealing damage naturally fell to him.

The Fire Divine Punishment was ready; Xiao Feng gave a low shout, flicked the Heavenly Path Whisk, and an energy ball flew out.

No. 9, the big porcupine, gave a hehe laugh: "This time I won't die so easily."

Boom—

The Fire Divine Punishment exploded in midair, and No. 9 bore the brunt!

A shockwave spread outward in all directions, affecting everything within a 3‑kilometer radius.

Sizzle!

Zu Jian Xing's support player unleashed a massive electromagnetic barrier to block, withstanding the explosion outright.

After the firelight faded, Xiao Feng stared in disbelief to find he hadn't killed a single enemy!

No. 9 used some unknown secret technique or treasure, locking 10% of his HP, and was not killed.

The reflected high damage, however, shocked Xing Yun Miao to death……

"Ah, we lost this round……"

Xing Yun Miao disengaged from the possession state, collapsed to the ground, and said somewhat gloomily.

Xiao Feng was also gloomy; the Fire Divine Punishment, which had always been victorious, posted a 0‑record for the first time, and Zu Jian Xing's strength still exceeded his expectations.

Feng Feng Shi lost 40% of her HP, wearing God‑King‑tier armor, and she herself was strong enough that blocking this blow was not difficult.

Seeing that No. 9 was still alive, Xiao Feng found it hard to use area attacks.

The ultra‑dimensional mechs surged forward again, and Feng Feng Shi sent out another repelling sound wave to keep the enemies at bay.

"Flame Lord, come out!"

Xiao Feng frowned, not daring to unleash skills randomly, and summoned the Flame Lord, who hadn't appeared in a long time.

At this moment the Flame Lord stood only 4 meters tall, yet his HP reached 2.55 quintillion!

His attack power was 2.5 trillion, also quite formidable.

Having Appeared, it immediately roared, opened its mouth, and spewed a scorching breath at No. 9.

"Dodge quickly!"

No. 9 had just been healed to full by No. 5, noticed Xiao Feng attacking him with other characters, and hastily retreated.

The reflect damage effect only harms the source of damage; the Flame Lord striking him reflects onto the Flame Lord, not Xiao Feng.

This is the simplest way to counter reflect damage.

Moreover, Xiao Feng actually has more than one way to solve this problem; in a one‑on‑one duel, even if No. 9 had 100 lives, he still couldn't kill him.

But there's nothing to be done—there are too many enemies now!

"This woman's skill is really annoying, No. 2, you take over!"

No. 1 Mech noticed that his companions could not, for a moment, break through Feng Feng Shi's zither barrier, and he was somewhat displeased.

Following his order, the No. 2 Mech Vulture, which had not acted yet, stepped forward.

"Lao Li, take a look at his talent!" Xiao Feng hurriedly said.

Li Li gave a wry smile: "Too far, it's outside the detection range……"

The two sides were over a kilometer apart; the opponent wasn't a boss, had no size bonus, so the detection effect couldn't see through.

The mechanical vulture walked to the front of the team and let out an unpleasant harsh laugh.

He intoned: "Human Xiao Feng before my eyes, heed the summon of the God of Death, fall!"

Then a beam of light shot from his eyes, heading straight for Xiao Feng.

"Not good!"

Xiao Feng hurriedly dodged.

Feng Feng Shi quickly played a zither note, trying to shake it off.

But this beam of light was too fast, like a soul‑chasing spear; once locked on, there was no dodging it!

Swish!

The light entered Xiao Feng's body.

(Mark)

Xiao Feng suffered no damage, but his status bar gained a debuff!

【Death Mark】: The God of Death has marked you; when the countdown ends you will die instantly, remaining time 10 seconds (this status cannot be dispelled and cannot be resisted by death‑immunity effects below tier 6).

"Holy shit! What heaven‑defying skill is this!"

Xiao Feng was dumbfounded.

Marked to die in 10 seconds, and it can't be dispelled—is this the talent of the No. 2 Mech?

It's simply unreasonably strong!

Li Li also saw Xiao Feng's debuff, and quickly tried to help dispel it, but it was useless.

Feng Feng Shi glanced at Xiao Feng, using her eyes to ask what was wrong.

Xiao Feng gave a wry smile: "I'm about to die; it seems I can only try to drag as many as possible down with me."

Speaking, he flashed forward and charged out.

Instant Shadow was on cooldown; now it was a dead end, and he was reluctant to use Desolate God Step—his only means of displacement was his own speed.

"Scatter!"

No. 1 saw Xiao Feng move, knowing he intended to drag others into mutual destruction, and immediately ordered them to scatter.

Among these ultra-dimensional machine soldiers, a few had short-term movement speeds faster than Xiao Feng's, which he couldn't catch.

But many were slower than him!

"Die!"

The death mark still had 6 seconds; Xiao Feng arrived beside No. 13's Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, and launched a Source Needle instantly!

"Light Shield!"

No. 5 assisted from afar, giving No. 13 a protective buff.

But it still couldn't block Xiao Feng's terrifying power; it was pierced by several Source Needles and then struck.

"Damn, why is it always me who dies!" No. 13 shouted angrily.

Xiao Feng's Soul-devouring Demon Stone in his pocket flashed, taking two lives at once.

Swish swish swish!

At this moment, the invisible No. 12 reached Xiao Feng's side and unleashed a lightning-fast triple strike!

Xiao Feng's temporary HP limit was cut to zero by the first strike, and he lost another 40% of his HP.

No. 12 kept chaining attacks trying to take him, but he had prepared, never staying in one place, and flexibly flew far away.

No. 12 pursued relentlessly, with No. 11 flanking, and No. 9 also arrived, forming a three-sided encirclement aiming to kill Xiao Feng.

With No. 9 present, Xiao Feng dared not use Source Burst Technique.

The death mark still had 5 seconds; he wanted to kill a few more!

"Binding Spirit Rope!"

Whoosh~

The rope on his right wrist flew out, directly binding No. 9 and preventing approach.

At the same time, he ordered the Flame Sovereign to continue attacking.

In that moment, No. 3 and No. 7's firepower had already bombarded Xiao Feng.

Firelight exploded, and Xiao Feng's figure stumbled backward.

Seeing an opening, No. 12 closed in and thrust a blade.

Ding~

The Vajra Bracelet's special effect activated, blocking that strike.

Before he could land a second strike, Feng Feng Shi's sound wave turned into blades, swooshing over; with a pfft, No. 12 was killed!

Even in invisibility, No. 12's position was seen through by her!

"Thanks!"

Xiao Feng originally thought he'd be stabbed in the butt by No. 12 and die, but unexpectedly he was saved.

The death mark still had 4 seconds left; No. 9 was temporarily unable to act, and he could fully unleash!

"Five Elements Metal Slash!"

No. 11 was right nearby; he pressed with one hand, condensing a metal blade out of thin air—with a clang, sparks flew, and No. 11's mantis head was pierced, killing him instantly.

The Soul-devouring Demon Stone flashed again, deducting two lives at once.

No. 11's machine soldier fell, but its corpse remained, not completely disappearing.

Last time he was killed by an AoE attack; adding this time, he had lost only three lives total, and even without consuming a life-extending treasure, he still had one life left.

The death mark still had 3.5 seconds left; Xiao Feng accelerated toward the enemies, preparing to unleash an AoE.

At this moment, No. 1 came forward, activated his talent effect, turned into an attribute-explosion martial artist, and threw a punch!
