Chapter 446 - Silver Flame
Everyone promptly agreed with Fire Dance’s opposition . 
They acknowledged that Shi Feng possessed frightening combat power .  He was so powerful that he even suppressed the Rare Lord ranked Crimson Shadow Wolf in a direct confrontation .  They, too, had previously thought Shi Feng might be able to oppress even a Great Lord by force, and that by the time they arrived at the Ruined Shrine in White Fog Canyon’s core, they would have a chance of defeating the Level 25 Great Lord there . 
After all, a Great Lord’s loot was simply too tempting .  It was especially true for a Level 25 Great Lord, as the Level 25 equipment it dropped was precisely what the core strength of the various Guilds needed right now .  If they could obtain an Epic item, both the Guild’s strength and morale would improve significantly . 
However, now that they stood before Anubis’s Gatekeeper, they suddenly felt very tiny . 
A Great Lord and a High Lord were from different worlds entirely . 
Escaping a Great Lord’s wrath would be a miracle, much less defeating it . 
Admittedly, a treasure hidden behind a Great Lord would be precious .  However, if Shi Feng tried to snatch the golden stone tablet, there was more than a 99% chance that he would be throwing his life away .  This was simply not a worthwhile tradeoff . 
Moreover, heavens knew if the teleportation array would still work after Shi Feng stole the stone tablet . 
On the off chance that it didn’t work, they would all die here… 
“Guild Leader, why don’t we come back after we’ve grown stronger .  It’s not worth risking your life for an unknown treasure,” Aqua Rose advised . 
“You guys leave first .  I’ll try it by myself .  If it really isn’t possible, then we’ll come back in the future,” Shi Feng said, shaking his head . 
                            
Although what Aqua Rose had said was logical, none of them knew the significance of the golden stone tablet under a Great Lord’s protection . 
In his decade of adventuring in God’s Domain, the treasures he encountered that had been guarded by Great Lords were at least Epic rank .  Obtaining an Epic item was definitely worth dying once .  If he came back for it in the future, there was a possibility of someone else claiming the golden stone tablet .  After all, the Land of the Fallen Star was not particularly hidden . 
When everyone heard Shi Feng’s determination, they had no choice but to obediently head towards the teleportation array and prepare to leave the Land of the Fallen Star . 
However, just as Aqua Rose was about to activate the teleportation array, her hands suddenly froze as cold sweat began to drip down her forehead . 
Even the others at the teleportation array with her wore grim expressions .  It was as if they were preparing to welcome a great enemy . 
That cold and intense killing intent felt like they had been dunked in ice-cold water, and they suddenly struggled to breathe . 
“Guild Leader, if we activate the teleportation array, the Gatekeeper will attack,” Fire Dance whispered as she glanced at Anubis’s Gatekeeper hovering in the air . 
“We really have no options,” Shi Feng laughed bitterly . 
He currently had Omniscient Eyes active, so he felt the Gatekeeper’s chilling gaze as well .  As soon as Aqua Rose activated the teleportation array, Anubis’s Gatekeeper would strike . 
It usually took close to 20 seconds to activate a teleportation array .  If the person activating the array moved during this period, it would automatically shut down . 
Twenty seconds . 
That was enough time for a Level 30 Great Lord to kill hundreds of players, much less a measly party of six . 
                            
As this place was unique, they could not use Return Scrolls to leave, either . 
In other words, if they wanted to leave, they needed to survive the Gatekeeper for 20 seconds .  Either that, or they could level here until they died or simply die now and lose some EXP, Skill Proficiency, and a piece of equipment . 
If they did not wish to lose any equipment, they could remove everything they currently wore .  That way, none of their equipment would drop .  At worst, there was an extremely small chance of an item dropping from their bags . 
“It looks like I can only give it a try!”
No matter how Shi Feng considered the situation, he could not think of a decent solution .  He was also unable to utilize the terrain to his advantage .  Although the passage they came from was narrow, Anubis’s Gatekeeper wasn’t so large that it could not follow him . 
Now, the only way the team could leave safely was if he lured the Gatekeeper away .  Otherwise, with the strength of a Great Lord and his extremely wide splash range, no one would survive . 
“Fire Dance, get ready to activate the teleportation array .  If the Great Lord’s splash damage affects you, use Vanish or Wind Steps to block it .  As long as you do not move, the teleportation array will not shut down . 
“I’ll kite the Gatekeeper first .  Focus on your timing, you guys . ”
With that, Shi Feng activated Windwalk and dashed towards the golden stone tablet . 
Anubis’s Gatekeeper immediately shifted his sight to Shi Feng . 
When Shi Feng was only 10 yards away from the stone tablet, the Gatekeeper suddenly vanished from above the altar before immediately reappearing in front of the golden stone tablet . 
“Instantaneous Movement!” Aqua Rose gaped at the Gatekeeper, disbelief filling her gaze .
A Great Lord that knew Instantaneous Movement .  .  . could any player escape its slaughter?
                            
“Such a powerful aura . ” Fire Dance’s expression turned grim . 
Anubis’s Gatekeeper had initially been 90 yards from the party .  Now that the Gatekeeper was less than 40 yards away from everyone, its ferocity was on full display . 
“Trespassers of the Holy Land, die!” the Gatekeeper revealed his fury as he glared at Shi Feng .  Suddenly, the Gatekeeper raised his right hand .  In the next moment, a pitch-black spear as tall as Shi Feng appeared in the Gatekeeper’s hand .  The Great Lord then swung the spear towards Shi Feng . 
Xiu!
A spear of light sliced through the air and arrived before Shi Feng .
Not taking any risks, Shi Feng crossed his swords and used Parry to block the attack . 
The instant the spear of light collided with the two swords, the impact forced Shi Feng’s hands apart and sent him flying over 20 yards away . 
The group standing at the teleportation array was stunned . 
Every Zero Wing member present was familiar with Shi Feng’s Strength . 
Even in his normal state, he could contend with a Lord of the same level .  Yet, now, just a touch from the spear of light, which was far weaker than the Gatekeeper’s black spear, had thrown Shi Feng so far .  
Just how frightening was the Gatekeeper?!
“As expected of a Great Lord .  Even though I have the combat power of a Tier 2 class, it is not nearly enough . ” Shi Feng smirked as he looked at his thoroughly numb hands . 
If not for the fact that Parry could negate the Gatekeeper’s damage, he would have lost at least three to four thousand HP . 
However, Shi Feng had only received the Gatekeeper’s attack because he wished to test its Strength and evaluate the Great Lord’s combat power . 
 
Now, Shi Feng had a general grasp of the Anubis’s Gatekeeper’s combat power .
Tier 3 intermediate combat power!
The Great Lord would be able to beat a Tier 3 player like a dog .
However, even after striking Shi Feng, the Gatekeeper showed no signs of stopping as it turned towards Fire Dance and the others . 
“Trespassers of the Holy Land, die!”
Emitting a low growl, the Gatekeeper stretched out its left hand .  Suddenly, a silver flame condensed in his palm . 
In the blink of an eye, the originally fist-sized flame grew into a large fire the size of a house, and even Shi Feng, who stood over 20 yards away, felt a stinging pain from the temperature .
