Chapter 442 The Meaning of Strength

But after kicking Feng Xing away, the opponent didn't immediately pursue the kill. They allowed the various reinforcements, who were farther away from Feng Xing, to rush over and protect him.

Feng Xing looked disheveled, but he knew best that he wasn't really hurt that much. The opponent's sweep and kick were just ordinary attacks. It was just that the opponent had allocated extra points to Strength, making them seem more impressive than ordinary fighters. In fact, there was nothing seriously wrong with him. Under the concerned gaze of the surrounding people, Feng Xing stood up, looking ashamed.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian was secretly shocked. He and Feng Xing were old brothers, and they knew each other inside and out. No one knew Feng Xing's capabilities better than him. Seeing an unknown nobody knock Feng Xing down with two kicks, it seemed that the strength of this Hundred Battles Mercenary Group was not just a boast.

Or, was this person actually Bai Shi Jing Lun, disguised as a minion to make their opponents mistakenly believe they were very strong? Wu Shi Zhi Jian couldn't help thinking this way, he was so confident in Feng Xing's strength that he didn't want to believe he had been easily defeated by a third-rate character.

Thinking of this, Wu Shi Zhi Jian glanced at those who had jumped out.

These people were all Wu Shi Zhi Jian's old subordinates, and they immediately understood. They all shouted, "Let's learn a thing or two," and swarmed forward.

Their target was not only the one who kicked Feng Xing away, but also the four others who were idly standing by. Wu Shi Zhi Jian also kept a close eye on those four. He wanted to see if everyone on the other side was so powerful, or if it was just a few people putting on an act.

This time, more people took action. Feng Xing stood still. In addition to him, eleven people rushed forward, all melee-type classes. They paired up and looked for opponents. Large guilds always played the numbers game, bullying the few with the many. They disdained unrefined one-on-one duels.

But even with more people, the outcome wasn't good. The five opponents were all agile. Even the warrior in the middle looked like he had allocated points to Agility. Of the eleven who charged, some were knocked down, some were kicked over, and some were knocked flying. And this time, the opponents didn't just use ordinary attacks like the one before. They also used skills as embellishments. For example, the warrior used a Charge, so the player who was hit was the only one who was seriously injured and couldn't get up for a long time.

The rest of the people, like Feng Xing, found that although they had been knocked to the ground, the damage they had taken wasn't high, and they all had the ability to continue fighting.

And like when they knocked down Feng Xing, the opponents didn't chase after them to finish them off. They stood obediently in place.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian frowned and glanced at the crowd again. So, except for the one who was seriously injured and still lying on the ground, the rest charged up again. Wu Shi Zhi Jian wanted to see if his side would learn from experience and have some maneuvering ability after being knocked down by the opponent once.

The truth was indeed very cruel. The people who charged up again were beaten to a pulp in no time. Just as Wu Shi Zhi Jian and the others were closing their eyes, unable to bear to watch, they suddenly heard someone from their own camp exclaim "Eh!" This exclamation contained extreme surprise, making Wu Shi Zhi Jian very, very unhappy. He immediately glared over there. It was Gu Fei, with a smiling face.

This left Wu Shi Zhi Jian at a loss for words. He didn't dare to offend Gu Fei, the great master, now. Just then, after a series of groans, the group that had gone into battle fell to the ground for the second time. The opponents still didn't chase after them to finish them off, but stood obediently in place.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian finally understood that when the other side said they wanted them to "understand their strength," it wasn't just empty talk or a boast. It was the plain truth.

Now, Wu Shi Zhi Jian understood the other side's strength very well. They were strong, indeed very strong. Feng Xing, a core member of his side, had been easily defeated by them. How many people in his camp were stronger than Feng Xing? If this mercenary group really had a hundred or eighty people like this, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they could suppress a guild.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian's palms were sweating, but he saw that the other side seemed to be waiting for someone else to come out. Wu Shi Zhi Jian was no longer in the mood to send anyone up to humiliate themselves. He had already decided to strike a deadly blow and was about to summon an arrow formation, but unexpectedly, Gu Fei had already stepped out from the crowd and slowly came to the five people.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian's eyes lit up again. Because Gu Fei seemed to be incredibly brave in hand-to-hand combat. Fighting many opponents was something he often did. Look at how dazzling his PK value of 20 or 30 was. Although he was a mage, everyone now knew that this mage didn't follow the usual path. He would rush in front of you and slash with a knife or sword.

"Let him try… If he can't do it either, then send five hundred people directly to swallow these five people. Let's see if they can fight a hundred each," Wu Shi Zhi Jian thought to himself.

At this time, Gu Fei had entered the arena. The few people who had been knocked down had just gotten up and looked back at Wu Shi Zhi Jian. Seeing the boss shake his head slightly, they immediately understood his intention and retreated, leaving a large open space for Gu Fei.

"Only one this time?" After the five opponents glanced at Gu Fei, they shouted towards the main force.

No one answered, which meant it was a default agreement.

The opponents took a closer look at Gu Fei and frowned, muttering, "Still a mage." It seemed they weren't interested in fighting mages.

Gu Fei didn't answer and continued walking forward. The opponents obviously didn't intend to play the numbers game like Zong Heng Si Hai. Only one person stood out to meet him, the one who had kicked Feng Xing away earlier.

At this moment, Gu Fei suddenly put the sword he had been holding in his hand back into his pocket and went to meet him empty-handed.

"What's he doing again!" Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted. His group of acquaintances knew that Gu Fei's powerful damage all depended on his equipment. Without equipment, Gu Fei's spell damage was a disgrace to mages.

Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted loudly, but Gu Fei turned a deaf ear. In two steps, he had already approached the opponent and suddenly cupped his hands in a salute.

This action surprised the opponent, but before he could think, Gu Fei had already swept a leg over.

This person had been uninterested since he saw that Gu Fei was a mage. Seeing the mage approaching without attacking, he was wondering what was going on. Mages mainly attacked from a distance, that was common knowledge! By the time Gu Fei walked up to him and suddenly saluted, this guy finally realized something.

Then he saw the leg flash out. This person quickly ducked to avoid it, intending to counterattack. But he didn't expect that as he bent over, the leg would follow and chop down on his neck.

This guy was instantly dazed. It turned out that the other side's leg wasn't a sweep, but a chop. Wouldn't this bending over expose his weakness to the front?

While he was regretting and puzzled, he suddenly saw a flash before his eyes. Gu Fei's right leg chopped him once, and then his left leg jumped slightly, and a knee had already hit his nose. This person couldn't help but lean back. Gu Fei twisted his body in mid-air and turned his back to him, but the right foot that swung over happened to kick the person in the chest.

This person staggered back several steps, and Gu Fei himself was knocked away, but he landed steadily.

Someone in the group of five exclaimed in surprise, "Nine Transformations Linked Rings? Was that just Nine Transformations Linked Rings?"

Gu Fei smiled and said, "Aren't you guys practicing Chuojiao boxing?" (Chuojiao: Poking Foot Boxing)

As soon as these words came out, the five people's eyes widened, because what Gu Fei said was not wrong at all. Nine Transformations referred to the nine routines in their leg technique, which could be matched and combined with each other, so it was called Nine Transformations; Linked Rings, because any of these nine routines was one step and one foot, interlocking; in addition, the left and right feet alternated, so the full name of this leg technique should be "Nine Transformations Linked Rings Mandarin Duck Legs." They were familiar with it, so they casually called it "Nine Transformations Linked Rings."

And it wasn't wrong to say they practiced Chuojiao boxing, because this Nine Transformations Linked Rings was the oldest routine in their Chuojiao boxing.

The person who was kicked back by Gu Fei stood firm and looked at his health. It was as if he hadn't been attacked at all. He also understood that Gu Fei was, after all, a mage, and his strength damage was limited. And he was wearing equipment, so Gu Fei's bare legs couldn't even break his defense.

However, this was a judgment from a game player's perspective. From the perspective of an insider, he had just lost miserably. The first move was not a sweep but a chop, which were originally two completely different kicking methods, and he had misjudged. He certainly understood that it wasn't his momentary blur, but the opponent's feint was too fast, too real, and easily tricked him, and even calculated how he would dodge. To outsiders, it probably looked like he obediently put his head under someone's feet.

Thinking of this, this person's face turned red. And according to their habit, they would immediately think: If this was a real fight, he would have directly sold his vitals to the other side. After such a chop, he would definitely be dizzy even if he didn't faint directly, and then a knee strike to the face, and a foot to the heart… Thinking this way, this person covered his nose with one hand and his heart with the other, as if he was about to give up.

"This person is not simple!" This person said seriously.

"But, is he really using Nine Transformations Linked Rings? It doesn't look quite like it to me," one person muttered.

"Hey, how can you learn kung fu by rote memorization? You have to have some imagination based on the situation!" Gu Fei immediately criticized this person.

"Is that so? Then let me learn a thing or two," this person responded and jumped out of the formation, throwing a punch at Gu Fei's face.

Gu Fei dodged to the side, and this person kicked out with his fist. Gu Fei took half a step back to avoid it. This person landed with one foot and immediately lifted the other, and Gu Fei took another step back. Seeing this, this person became even more aggressive and couldn't wait to kick again. But just as his front foot landed and he hadn't had time to step firmly, at the moment when his hind leg was lifted into the air, someone gently pushed his front ankle in the direction it was about to move.

This immediately caused him to lose his balance. With a "pa" sound, his third kick was also thrown out, but it was kicked towards the sky. At the same time, the person had already fallen backward.
