Chapter 73 Too Terrifying!!

To be killed just for stepping on someone’s foot? This far-fetched and tyrannical reason was truly unconvincing. Any discerning person could see that Gu Fei was simply nitpicking, finding an excuse to eliminate the guy.

Moreover, Gu Fei’s attack was even fiercer this time, mainly because the probability of triggering multiple attacks was higher, and this target was weaker than the previous one. A Double Flaming Flash (shuang yan shan) directly turned him to ashes.

“Too terrifying!!” The surrounding bosses exchanged glances, utterly bewildered by Gu Fei’s intention to provoke and instantly kill this person. Could it be that this guy wanted to wipe them all out? Suspicion arose in their hearts, and everyone kept their distance from Gu Fei, hands already in their pockets, gripping their weapons, ready to fight at any moment.

However, Gu Fei sheathed his sword after killing the man, waved at Han Jia Gongzi, greeted the girls from Zongsheng Zijing, nodded at Piaoliu, and finally smiled at everyone present. His etiquette was truly impeccable.

“Hey, wait a minute!” Xi Yao Wu saw that Gu Fei intended to leave and was about to block the entrance, but Gu Fei flashed with a white light and disappeared with a *whoosh*.

“Ah! Gone?” The bosses subconsciously looked up at the roof beams, their hearts filled with confusion and a hint of loss, their faces blank and bewildered.

Han Jia Gongzi very opportunely gave everyone a way out, shrugging his shoulders and saying, “Gentlemen, that kid is called Qian Li Yizui. If you want to make friends, you’ll have to work hard yourselves!”

At this point, the bosses were already content with this outcome. Xi Yao Wu was still glaring at them from behind, so they didn’t dare to inquire further and left with awkward smiles. On the other side, the several guild leaders who had been chatting animatedly with Piaoliu also suggested finding a quieter place to sit down and talk. This group of people had truly made a worthwhile trip today, having established a relationship with the number one mage, Piaoliu, witnessing Gu Fei’s strength, and etching the name Qian Li Yizui into their minds.

The bosses had all come to the tavern for the meet-up, but now that it was over, they left one after another, leaving only the curious onlookers to stay and see what was happening. The girls from Zongsheng Zijing were now looking at Han Jia Gongzi and You Ge with unfriendly eyes. The two of them followed the crowd and left, emerging from a corner and casually finding a table to sit down at, letting out a sigh of relief.

“Hey!” Xi Yao Wu walked over, quite dissatisfied. “Why did you tell them his name?”

“Hehe. Are you afraid they’ll poach Qian Li away?” Han Jia Gongzi said, smiling at her.

“Of course! Qian Li is a member of our guild,” Xi Yao Wu said righteously.

“Don’t worry, they only know his name. How can they poach him?” Han Jia Gongzi said.

“Why not? This is an online game, boss. A name is like a phone number. Won’t he be harassed to death?” Xi Yao Wu said.

“The whole parallel world knows Xi Yao Wu’s name. May I ask if you’ve been harassed?” Han Jia Gongzi said.

“Oh!” Xi Yao Wu reacted, muttering, “Doesn’t Qian Li have his friend request switch turned off?”

This muttering made the confident smile on Han Jia Gongzi’s face freeze. Although Gu Fei was fierce, he wasn’t as high-profile as those top players on the leaderboards, so it seemed unnecessary for him to turn off the friend request switch. But for experts like Han Jia Gongzi, turning off the friend request switch was already a habitual thought, and he had automatically included Gu Fei in that category.

Thinking of this, he quickly sent Gu Fei a message: “Is your friend request switch on or off?”

“Off!” Gu Fei replied. “Why is everyone asking about this…” It turned out that Xi Yao Wu was also asking the same question.

Han Jia Gongzi breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Today’s drama, although without any actual PK-style fighting, was full of danger and suspense. “This mental labor has exhausted me,” Han Jia Gongzi muttered to himself, ordering two bottles of wine from Xiao Lei.

*I wonder how those physical laborers are doing!* Han Jia Gongzi thought, sending a message to Jian Gui and Yu Tian Shen Ming and the others. The plan to hunt down Yin Yue, of course, had been conveyed to them all along.

“Just preparing to find an opportunity to strike,” Jian Gui replied to Han Jia Gongzi’s message, already silently drawing out Frost Memories (shuang zhi huiyi).

Following Yin Yue all the way from the resurrection point, Jian Gui had been waiting for a suitable opportunity to strike. He didn’t have the freakish attack power of Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu. He was even slightly inferior to those ordinary thieves with flashy equipment. The added attributes of Frost Memories were absolutely top-notch, but after all, it was low-end equipment, and its attack power was already somewhat low compared to the mainstream level 40 daggers. Fortunately, Jian Gui had made a small fortune after the official operation of the game, and subsequently purchased a lot of equipment that increased attack power, such as those with added strength or enhanced attacks. After all, he was reluctant to give up Frost Memories’ outstanding added attributes.

With this set of equipment, Jian Gui’s attack power was finally not lagging behind, but it couldn’t be considered outstanding either.

To deal with Yin Yue, it was impossible for him to do it in the blink of an eye, like Gu Fei. Therefore, he didn’t act as soon as Yin Yue left the resurrection point. He was worried that he wouldn’t be able to quickly eliminate Yin Yue, allowing Yin Yue to retreat back to the safe zone. After all, Yin Yue was a character who had grown up in countless battles. The moment he resurrected at the resurrection point, he was already on guard against any ambushes outside. From the moment he walked out of the resurrection point, he maintained a posture ready to rush back to the resurrection point at any time.

So Jian Gui chose to tail him. He followed Yin Yue for a while, first to wait for Yin Yue to lower his guard, and second to wait until he was farther away from the resurrection point before striking, so that Yin Yue would have no chance to escape back to the safe zone.

Jian Gui’s judgment was very calm. He didn’t underestimate Yin Yue at all, even knowing that Yin Yue had been killed twice in a row and had lost two levels.

At the same time, he was also very confident, at least not bothering to consider what he should do if he was no match for Yin Yue.

And Yin Yue truly deserved to be someone who had been hunted down in Moon Night City before, his anti-tracking awareness was very strong, and he was still cautious after leaving the safe zone. After walking not far, he suddenly turned around and shouted, “Come out! I’ve already found you.”

Jian Gui was shocked, not expecting that even Yin Yue had this ability, in addition to Gu Fei. Helplessly preparing to engage in combat, the thief’s first choice was naturally to go around behind the opponent and launch an attack, but this small shift allowed Jian Gui to see through Yin Yue’s trick.

Jian Gui had already made a move, but Yin Yue’s gaze was still staring straight ahead at the original spot, not changing at all with Jian Gui’s movement.

If it were another thief, perhaps they wouldn’t have reacted so quickly. But Jian Gui was different. Being detected while in stealth was an unforgettable memory that Gu Fei had given him. He was unusually sensitive to this. Yin Yue’s abnormal behavior immediately made Jian Gui realize that this guy was just probing.

Jian Gui stopped his movements and waited to see what happened. He saw Yin Yue continue to act, glaring fiercely at the air for a few seconds before turning around and continuing on his way. Jian Gui followed.

As a result, Yin Yue became addicted to this probing, and subsequently yelled two more times, each accompanied by a sneer and a confident expression. Jian Gui yawned behind him as he watched him perform, calculating how far away they were from the resurrection point. Every time he finished calculating, he sighed deeply. The distance was still a bit close, which meant that Jian Gui might have to continue watching Yin Yue’s performance. He was about to throw up.

Fortunately, after tossing around a total of three times, Yin Yue seemed to think that it was safe behind him. He began to only pay attention to whether someone would suddenly pop out from around him to attack him. For this reason, he specifically chose to walk on remote paths, making Jian Gui admire him again. After all, this guy came from another main city, but he was so familiar with Yun Duan City.

In this way, he walked onto an empty street. No matter which direction someone came from, Yin Yue could quickly see them. Just as he felt that there was nothing to worry about, a sharp pain came from his waist, and his life bar dropped sharply. Jian Gui had finally made his move.

Yin Yue changed color in shock, not expecting that he would still be targeted by a thief despite being so cautious. He had been holding his King’s Sword (wangzhe zhi jian) all along. When he was attacked, he turned around to slash. But the opponent behind him struck even faster. Before his sword could slash over, he had been stabbed a second time in the waist.

Yin Yue roared, venting the depression in his heart. He wanted to use all his strength in this slash to cut the guy behind him in half, only then would he feel happy. But this slash ultimately missed, and when Yin Yue turned around with this slash, he found that there was still no one behind him.

“Who is it!” Yin Yue exclaimed. He could hardly believe the facts before his eyes. The thief’s stealth state should automatically be canceled the moment he launched an attack, but now that he turned around, he still couldn’t see anyone. Could this be the legendary skill Vanish (xiaoshi)? How could the players of today be so advanced, having mastered all kinds of skills they shouldn’t have, like Teleport (shunyi) and Vanish…

While he was still in shock, he was stabbed in the waist again. This time, Yin Yue was even more frightened. He suddenly realized that the opponent had not disappeared, but had moved to his back again with extremely fast steps. With such skill, he must be a top expert, right? Yin Yue turned around abruptly. This time, he finally saw a glimpse of the opponent’s figure. That’s right, the opponent was moving to his back again with extremely fast steps.

Yin Yue shouted and screamed, his panicked performance surprising Jian Gui. He had been treating Yin Yue as an expert, but only after engaging him did he realize that Yin Yue’s PK skills were really not that good. After a little thought, he understood the reason. After all, Yin Yue was a knight, and his profession determined that he didn’t have many opportunities for direct combat.

Perhaps his previous online game experience gave him a lot of knowledge and experience, but in terms of actual combat, the holographic simulation meant that every player had to re-adapt and re-accumulate. Gu Fei’s strength lay in his twenty years of immersion in this area. As for Jian Gui, his dedication to the study of online games was by no means inferior to Gu Fei’s passion for kung fu. His fighting style had completely grasped the characteristics of the thief’s profession and skills, worthy of being the number one player in the online game world.

Yin Yue had a belly full of schemes, but in terms of actual combat, he couldn’t compare with Jian Gui. In a few strokes, Yin Yue was solved without even seeing Jian Gui’s face, and he wailed as he returned to the resurrection point.

Jian Gui yawned, put away his dagger, and left silently. In his eyes, this didn’t even count as a commendable record, the opponent was too weak.

Has Yin Yue’s tragic experience come to an end? Tsk tsk, in the recent chapters, there is a place where I always thought someone would jump out and shout Bug, but it seems that no one has noticed it…
