The deaths of two key members of the American guild caused unrest in both guilds. Jiang Hao noticed that although they were panicked, they didn't act rashly, which further confirmed his suspicions.

It seems that the expert is still around, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a state of panic yet remain composed.

Jiang Hao then had the Skeleton Roc descend a little further, while he continued to patrol between the Death Crossing and the Skeleton Society guilds.

The Great Demon King died before seeing the sunset, and his heart was filled with unease. His muscles tensed, and he became increasingly wary of what lay ahead.

Blood Dragon chuckled again and said, "Scared? Hand over the legion token. I keep my word; if you hand it over, you'll all be released immediately..."

Before he could finish speaking, two figures suddenly appeared behind the Great Demon King. Their daggers flashed, each striking the Great Demon King four or five times in an instant. His health bar dropped by more than half. However, he reacted instantly, swinging his greatsword behind him. Just as the sword was about to strike the figure on the right, that person blurred, leaving a trail of afterimages, and returned to the Blood Dragon's side. But that person wasn't faring much better; his nearly 17,000 health bar had dwindled to only 2,720. The opposing priest seemed prepared, casting healing spells on him one after another.

The other figure, however, lacked the teleportation ability of the previous one. Sensing the Great Demon King's counterattack, he immediately leaped away, intending to run towards the Blood Dragon. But just as the Great Demon King reacted, an archer from Heavenly Punishment's side had already drawn his bow and fired an arrow at him. The arrow was incredibly fast, and just as it was about to pierce his body, a shard of ice suddenly flew from the side, striking the arrow. With a clang, the arrow was deflected by the ice and embedded itself diagonally into the ground.

The priests of the Heavenly Punishment Guild finally realized what was happening and unleashed a barrage of healing spells on the Great Demon King.

The archer on the Heavenly Punishment side, named Ling Feng, was startled to see his arrow, far exceeding his usual power, intercepted by a mage's Frost Arrow. His target was a one-star assassin; a successful hit would reduce the enemy's health by 5%. Therefore, this arrow was faster and more devastating than an attack on a low-health player. The mage's Frost Arrow required a countdown. From the moment the ice crystal formed in the mage's hand to its release, there was at least a one-second interval. His first arrow had been intercepted by a mage's Frost Arrow?

Unless the mage had predicted the trajectory of the arrow a second before he fired it, such an incredible thing could never have happened.

However, the ability to predict an opponent's attack a second in advance is probably even more terrifying, isn't it?

Seeing the assassin who had launched the sneak attack had already reached the area between the Great Demon King and the Blood Dragon, Ling Feng immediately drew his bow and fired three arrows in quick succession. Meanwhile, he kept a close eye on the mages opposite him.

Ling Feng indeed discovered the anomaly.

A mage standing not far from the blood dragon waved his staff, and three frost arrows appeared out of thin air, crashing into the three flying arrows.

With three soft clangs, just as before, the three arrows were deflected by the three icy arrows!

Ling Feng saw this scene clearly. He breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it wasn't some kind of supernatural precognitive ability. The fact that the Frost Arrow required no cast time, and could be cast instantly by a mage, made him breathe a sigh of relief again. He knew that the Frost Arrow was only a little slow to form, but once formed, it was much faster than an archer's arrow; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to intercept the arrow after being cast later. The skill mechanics in the Lingxu game were all the same. This anomaly must be due to a special talent. He just didn't know if this mage's talent only applied to the first skill requiring no cast time, or if all skills could do this.

When Ling Feng saw that the mage's ID was "Outlaw," he immediately felt that this mage's skills probably didn't require a cast time.

Ling Feng realized that he had no chance against the mage, so he stopped trying to embarrass himself.

The assassin eventually made it back to the Blood Dragon. Although he was already low on health, he had been healed by the priests on his way back. However, for some unknown reason, just as the priests raised his health, it dropped by more than 8,000 again, forcing the priests to keep healing him.

Jiang Hao had now turned his attention to the Demon King. Ever since the Demon King was attacked by the two assassins, Jiang Hao had noticed two debuffs appearing above the Demon King's head. One was a poison damage effect that caused continuous damage, left by the Japanese assassin's Poison Blade. Each stack dealt 2210 damage per second. The Poison Blade attacked the Demon King four times, stacking the poison four times, causing the Demon King to lose 8840 health per second with this single debuff. The other was a rip damage effect, left by the John Bull assassin Blood Shadow. Each rip damage effect caused 1980 health per second. He attacked five times, stacking the rip damage five times, causing the Demon King to lose 9900 health per second.

The two assassins used almost identical attack methods: first, they would stealthily approach their opponent, quickly unleash a sufficient number of attacks, and then rely on the continuous damage debuff to slowly wear down their target. From the moment the two assassins launched their assassination attempt, to the moment the mage Outlaw from John Bull provided backup, helping Poison Blade intercept Ling Feng's counterattack, and finally to the moment the two assassins were immediately healed by the priest after the operation, Jiang Hao concluded that this was a premeditated and well-prepared assassination attempt.

To Jiang Hao's surprise, among the foreign players besieging Heavenly Punishment, there were so many players with terrifying talent. Especially the two assassins with extremely high damage and burst damage, they were practically impossible to defend against. In addition, the players from John Bull and Japan coordinated so smoothly that they almost took down the Great Demon King, which was indeed quite unexpected.

The Demon King was losing health points every second. Fortunately, the Heavenly Punishment Guild had enough priests who continuously cast healing spells on him, barely managing to keep his health around 10,000. If the opponent made any further moves at this point, the Demon King would probably be dead.

Jiang Hao was anxious. The two debuffs lasted a full minute, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. If the Great Demon King died too quickly, all his previous plans would be ruined.

Now, all three guilds from the United States have made their moves, two of the three guilds from the United States have already acted, and one guild from the United States has also joined the fray. Only three guilds remain untouched. Jiang Hao, unsure of what underhanded tricks they might employ, disregarded his search for the hidden expert from the United States and instead focused his attention on scanning the three guilds that hadn't yet made a move.
