In the night, amid the mountains, Wang Zhifan, wearing the Wind Concealing Conical Hat in invisible mode, moved at a frighteningly fast speed.

This was not entirely due to his high level of Lightweight Skill but also because of the special ability "Shadow" of the exceptional Deceitful Shadow Shoes he wore in the darkness.

[Shadow: You can effortlessly merge into shadows and darkness, making it difficult for others to detect your presence. Meanwhile, it increases all your speed by 100% and all damage dealt by 50%.]

In the past, Wang Zhifan rarely had the experience of fighting formidable foes in the dark, so he hadn’t deeply felt the impact of the ability "Shadow." But this time, in this pitch-black mountain terrain, he truly sensed the outrageousness of this special enhancement.

He seemed to have several booster rockets strapped to his body, crossing over a dozen miles of mountainous terrain within one or two breaths, reaching the position of the two Demon Venerables displayed on the Demon Sealing List.

"They’re in a cave? Just to be safe, let’s teleport inside for a strong kill instantly!"

In order to save time and reduce the risk of being surrounded by other Demon Venerables rushing towards him, Wang Zhifan didn’t choose to sneak into the cave or use the "Deceit" skill to enter through the walls. Instead, he chose to use the least detectable close-range method: the spatial movement skill from the Epic Blank Winding Belt.

After all, he’s targeting high-level Demon Venerables, and for opponents of this caliber, even the slightest stir could alert them. Not giving them any chance to react was the best strategy.

Thus, two seconds later, with Wang Zhifan in invisible mode, merged into the darkness, he quickly moved to an appropriate position. He suddenly activated the spatial movement ability of the Blank Winding Belt, transferring his form invisibly and tracelessly from outside the mountain into a cave inside, appearing behind one of the two recently arrived Demon Venerables.

"Die!!!"

The moment he completed the teleportation, since the inside of the cave was also in darkness, Wang Zhifan did not lose the "Shadow" bonus of the Deceitful Shadow Shoes when his attack broke his invisibility, boosting both the speed and power of his surprise attack to unprecedented levels!

Before the Demon Venerable, who was attacked from behind, could react instinctively, the razor-sharp blade of the Ocean Envoy Curved Saber pierced through the thick neck covered in black fur at a horrifying speed, with the booming sound of crashing tidal waves!

Wang Zhifan instantly felt his already incredible battle state elevate significantly, an overwhelming force surged through him.

This was due to the Epic Heroic Gauntlet he wore, triggering the "Hate Evil" special effect, meaning serious melee attacks would definitely result in a Critical Strike, with Critical Strike damage further increased by 50%, and also allowing 30% extra total resistance penetration.

All these terrifying enhancements, combined with the "Shadow" boost he had in the darkness, plus his profound Great Dream Saber Scripture skills, his already astonishing strength, and agility attributes, the formidable power of the exceptional Ocean Envoy Curved Saber, and the aura damage boost of the Dark Chapter Necklace, directly led to one outcome:

A hideous head, much larger than a water tank, instantly soared skyward, severed from its body!

The Demon Venerable he ambushed didn’t even have the chance to scream before being decapitated on the spot!

The cave they were in began collapsing due to the sheer power of the strike, accompanied by violent tremors!

But Wang Zhifan wasn’t satisfied with merely taking down one enemy; he paid no heed to the heavy stones crashing down around him. He immediately unleashed the power of the source of ice, intending to pursue the other alert Demon Venerable, planning to cut this one down in one go as well.

However, just as he closed in powerfully, almost completing the double kill, the Demon Venerable, stunned beyond belief by his partner’s sudden death, disappeared instantly, leaving only half a foot of their black-furred body cut by his Ocean Envoy.

"Here we go again... This Demon Venerable indeed has spatial abilities... though he seems reluctant to use it often..."

Wang Zhifan couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret in his heart. He then activated the "Invisible" ability of the Invisible Deceitful Clothing to pierce through the massive falling rocks around and came outside the mountain.

Actually, he wasn’t unable to deal with the escaping Demon Venerable just now. Had he wielded the Epic Light of Time Saber, whether the time reversal or time stop skills, it would have forced that guy to meet his end quietly.

But the issue was that the Light of Time Saber is luminous, with a dazzling brilliant light, which would prevent him from triggering the "Shadow" effect of the Deceitful Shadow Shoes when using this top-tier weapon.

That’s why he used the Ocean Envoy Curved Saber to experience the combat effects under the shadow enhancement in darkness.

The results showed that the 100% speed and 50% damage boost of Shadow were indeed remarkable, sufficient for him to use the Ocean Envoy to kill a Demon Venerable, but the luck was a bit lacking for a double kill, encountering someone with spatial mobility left him with no better solution.

"In this light, when dealing with Demon Venerables with weaker defenses, lurking in the shadows for a sneak attack might be more efficient than using the Light of Time. However, against tough opponents, the Light of Time remains more reliable."

Upon recalling his recent battle experiences, Wang Zhifan found that the Light of Time had a higher upper limit, although it conflicted with the Shadow effect of the Deceitful Shadow Shoes, which was a bit annoying.

He then took out the Demon Sealing List, preparing to check where that fleeing Demon Venerable went, only to find nothing specific for the moment.
