Students were naturally deeply shocked and speechless for a long time.

The fire behind them was still burning fiercely, and Gu Fei shouted loudly, "Assemble the team and prepare to return to the city!"

The students ran to Gu Fei and stood in formation. The higher their gaming level, the more incomprehensible Gu Fei's strength seemed. A Fa was, of course, one of those who were stunned. However, amid the students' "tsk, tsk" of admiration, he couldn't help but remind, "Teacher, the mission requires capturing the bandit leader alive."

"Capture alive? How do we do that?" Gu Fei was slightly taken aback, and suddenly saw the students' faces showing terrified expressions, some already screaming, "Teacher, be careful!"

This warning came a little too late, because the Boss's skills were extraordinary and his speed was quite fast.

Gu Fei's Fire Tree Thousand Heavy Flames had killed all the ordinary bandits, but it hadn't killed the bandit leader mixed in with them. While Gu Fei was organizing the formation, he had already emerged from the flames. At this time, the aggro was naturally on Gu Fei, and he charged over with his broadsword to strike.

Although system NPCs were rigid, they didn't have *qi* of murder! The subtle system of *qi* of murder was simulated in every detail by the holographic simulation system after completely copying the complex human system coefficients. But NPCs were completely created from data and didn't have as much detail as a real human body, so they didn't have anything like *qi* of murder.

The sound of the fire behind him masked the sound of the bandit leader leaping forward. By the time the students realized it and reminded him that he had flown behind Gu Fei, Gu Fei didn't even bother to turn his head before trying to dodge, but it was already too late. The bandit swung his blade into Gu Fei’s waist, sending him flying.

"Teacher!!!" the students screamed. Naturally, there were still priests among them, who hurriedly released healing spells toward Gu Fei. No matter how strong the Boss was, it was just a normal strike, not enough to kill a player character outright. Gu Fei, whose life was already in danger, was quickly rescued by so many students.

"Quick, dodge!" A Fa shouted.

"Dodge what?" Gu Fei stood up, leaning against the cliff, with a calm expression. He raised his hand and drew the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword.

Although healing spells weren't attack skills, they would still generate aggro based on their healing effect. And like a mage's spells, these skills had a wide aggro range. Under normal circumstances, these priests would have desperately used healing spells, probably drawing the bandit leader's aggro long ago. But at this time, the bandit leader was striding towards Gu Fei. This was because Gu Fei's spell damage was astonishing; the targets he struck were generally instantly killed. Only the Boss could withstand it, so there was no need to consider the problem of aggro at this moment.

The bandit leader rushed forward and swung his blade down. In the students' eyes, this strike was fast and fierce, and they worried that their teacher would be cut to pieces. They hurriedly cast healing spells on Gu Fei, trembling as they did so. Those other melee classes wanted to help, but felt that the battle was too intense and there was no room for them to intervene. The ranged classes weren't confident in their aim, unsure that they wouldn't hit Gu Fei in the midst of the chaotic battle.

In contrast, Gu Fei, who was in the midst of the battle, was the most composed. The reason the bandit leader was able to attack successfully earlier was only because system NPCs didn't have *qi* of murder. Now, face to face, Gu Fei wasn't at a disadvantage. A bandit leader was just an enhanced version of a bandit's attack routine, with faster movements and stronger attacks, but there were no tricky or strange new moves.

However, Gu Fei was still vigilant. Based on his previous experience fighting the Boss Soto, the Boss should have a powerful ultimate move, like a player's skill, that would unleash more power than a normal attack.

Gu Fei was constantly on guard, but the bandit leader never used his ultimate move, which gradually made him feel uneasy.

On the other hand, the students' emotions had relaxed. The priests weren't nervous anymore, the attack classes didn't want to help, and even A Fa had changed his tune: "Teacher, slow down! Don't kill him, we need him alive, alive."

"How do I get him alive?" Gu Fei was annoyed; he hated holding back.

"The mission didn't say!" A Fa was also at a loss! The mission only said to capture the bandit leader alive, but didn't say under what conditions he would surrender.

"Should we find a rope and tie him up?" the students began to use their imaginations.

"Knock him out!"

"No one knows the skill 'Muffled Strike'!" Muffled Strike was a skill that thieves only had at level 36, and A Fa, the highest level in Class Three of the Elite Division, was only level 34.

At this time, Gu Fei, who was fighting in the arena, could already feel that the Boss's skills were beginning to weaken. Gu Fei had already exhausted his mana, which was why he had been dragging it out for so long. If he could use Twin Flame Flash with every move, this Boss would have been defeated long ago.

The battle didn't last much longer. Just as Gu Fei was about to stab his opponent with his sword, the bandit leader suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, shouting surrender.

"So that's how you capture him alive!" the students burst into laughter, discussing it animatedly.

Gu Fei also found it laughable. He didn't stab out with his sword, but retracted it to his side and looked at A Fa, saying, "Is this okay?"

A Fa nodded happily: "Then take him back to Yun Duan City and hand him over to the dungeon there, and the mission will be completed."

Gu Fei nodded and was about to say something when the bandit leader, who was already kneeling on the ground, suddenly exploded. The large steel blade that had been thrown in front of him was instantly picked up by him, and he swung it backhand at Gu Fei.

This strike was even faster and more ferocious than before.

Gu Fei was shocked, but his reaction was definitely not lacking. With a flick of his wrist, his sword was already horizontal by his side, blocking the strike.

Unlike the bandit leader's attack, which didn't immediately retract after this contact, it continued to press against Gu Fei's sword towards his chest, which was very much against the system's attack principles. Gu Fei was shocked and used his other hand to push against the blade, but he still couldn't stop the opponent's momentum. In an instant, it was already pressing against Gu Fei's chest.

Gu Fei's life began to decrease, and what was even more deadly was that the strike continued to press forward. The bandit leader showed no intention of retreating, and an aura of wanting to push Gu Fei to the ground permeated him and his surroundings.

Gu Fei hurriedly took a big step back. The bandit leader actually continued to press forward, following Gu Fei's footsteps. The force was astonishing. Gu Fei had already embarked on a dead end of head-on confrontation and couldn't cleverly resolve it. After several steps back, he reached the edge of the valley again. Gu Fei's back was against the stone wall behind him, and he was desperately supporting himself with his hands pushing against the sword. The bandit leader, however, had a ferocious expression and showed no sign of easing up.

Annoying! Gu Fei felt frustrated. He had been fully on guard against the Boss having some kind of ultimate move, but he had never thought that the Boss's final killing move wouldn't be an attack method, but a mind game like feigned surrender.

Who the hell designed this, Gu Fei cursed in his heart, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it. Strength was his absolute weakness, and at this time, he couldn't withstand the opponent's pressure, and his life was constantly decreasing. Where was there any room to escape?

Fortunately, this wasn't Gu Fei's battle alone!

The students had been caught off guard by the sudden change and had lost their minds for a moment, but now they reacted and saw that Gu Fei had been pressed against the base of the mountain wall.

The students shouted, "Teacher!" and rushed to help, healing and attacking, each risking their lives.

At this time, the bandit leader showed the consistent single-minded spirit of system products, ignoring the arrows, daggers, knives, and axes attacking from behind, single-mindedly wanting to push Gu Fei to the base of the cliff.

Gu Fei was astonished by his spirit of persistence, but at this time, the priests among the students all activated, and Gu Fei's life was no longer decreasing, but was being recovered by the priests working together. No matter how persistent the bandit leader was, he was already wasting his efforts. At this time, he was also enduring the attacks of the students from behind, and collapsing was only a matter of time.

Under such sustained effort, with Gu Fei desperately resisting, the priests desperately healing, and the other students desperately attacking, the bandit leader finally gradually ran out of strength and collapsed to the ground.

This time, Gu Fei didn't dare to be careless. First, he ate fruit to replenish his mana, then he cautiously approached, poking with his sword and kicking with his feet. The bandit offered no fierce resistance, but just stared blankly at the people around him.

Gu Fei was still apprehensive and asked A Fa: "This should be okay now, right?" When it came to online games, he didn't think he was necessarily stronger than his students.

Although A Fa was considered experienced, his experience in this Parallel World holographic game was actually less than Gu Fei's. He hummed and hawed and couldn't say for sure. In the end, it was still a group of low-level students who had the courage. Anyway, their levels were low, and dying and losing a level wasn't too big of a loss. Several people joined forces and took out a long rope from who knows where and tied the bandit leader tightly into a bundle. The bandit leader had no reaction during this process, and everyone was relieved. It seemed that this mission was going to be completed successfully.

The tied-up bandit leader was lifted up like luggage by two warrior students, and the students cheered and prepared to return to the city. Gu Fei, who had almost been killed, also perked up and continued to shout for the students to line up neatly.

This was like a bucket of cold water poured over them, and the highly spirited students instantly lost half their enthusiasm, but they didn't dare to disobey their teacher's orders, so they had to obediently line up again and march neatly towards Yun Duan City in the rhythm of A Fa's "one, two, one" commands.

They didn't yet know that at the mouth of the valley, someone was already waiting for their arrival.
