Chapter 24 Mountain Top, Gu Fei Alone Against Twelve!

On the mountaintop, Gu Fei faced twelve opponents alone! (A major correction: I miscalculated in the last chapter and forgot about the brother who was pushed into the pit. My apologies.)

This time, Gu Fei acted according to the principle of proximity, raising his sword and stabbing at a warrior not far from him.

"The fourth spell?!" Yuexia Dubai had already started counting. If Gu Fei cast his fourth spell, he would unhesitatingly order everyone to surround him.

But Gu Fei didn't utter a sound, and the sword didn't show any fire. After the warrior took Gu Fei's straight-on stab, he checked the damage and exclaimed in surprise, "It's nothing, just a casual strike!"

He was happy, but Yuexia Dubai felt depressed. He wished Gu Fei had used a Double炎閃 (Yan Shan, Flame Flash) to kill the warrior instantly. Now, wary of Gu Fei's final spell, they couldn't surround him, as a Double炎閃 (Yan Shan, Flame Flash) would tear them to pieces.

The warrior's casual remark annoyed Yuexia Dubai, but it frustrated Gu Fei even more.

The exquisite Gu Family Swordplay was dismissed as a "casual strike."

A casual strike? Then dodge one for me! Gu Fei wanted to cry. These players were too unprofessional. All they did was shout about his abnormal attack power and his ability to instantly kill mages. Did no one notice that no one could ever dodge his attacks? Even if he could instantly kill mages, he still had to hit them first, right? If they could dodge, what use was high attack power? For example, like me…

While thinking this, Gu Fei dodged the warrior's backhand axe chop.

In Gu Fei's eyes, this clumsy attack was full of flaws. In a real fight, Gu Fei could cripple him with a single strike. But this was a game, and even after three stabs, the warrior was still gleefully waving his giant axe and hacking away at Gu Fei. He even thought it was great: "This kid is reluctant to use spells!"

"Idiot!" Yuexia Dubai cursed inwardly. The opponent was indeed reluctant to use spells, but because of this one guaranteed spell, no one dared to surround him. Yuexia Dubai waved his hand, wanting the ranged classes to provide support, but when he looked around, he was shocked: there was only one archer left…

Archers and mages, the two major ranged classes, had either been instantly killed or knocked off the mountain, all taken care of by Gu Fei in the previous exchanges.

"Was the initial fighting not just opportunistic and meaningless…?" Sweat was already forming on Yuexia Dubai's forehead. He had always thought that pushing people, killing people, and then pushing people again was just a way to exploit opportunities and weaken them. Now, he realized that this attrition was purposeful. The ranged classes were almost completely wiped out, and the melee classes didn't dare to surround him… Was it now going to be a one-on-one situation?

This was ridiculous! He only had one spell left. Couldn't they afford to exhaust it? Yuexia Dubai cast a healing spell on the warrior while ordering the others to surround and attack.

"But, he has one spell left!" the other melee players hesitated.

"It's just one spell, what are you afraid of? Once it's used, he's dead!" Yuexia Dubai roared. He deliberately spoke loudly, wanting Gu Fei to hear. His plan wasn't a conspiracy but a scheme laid out in the open, visible to the opponent, but unavoidable. Now, he gave Gu Fei a warning in advance, wanting to see how Gu Fei would react.

Gu Fei's reaction was no reaction. His normal attacks were basically useless against the priest's healing spells, but he continued to stab methodically. The warrior, on the other hand, reacted violently, gripping his axe with both hands and roaring, "Don't come over yet!"

Finally! Here it comes… Gu Fei was delighted to see the other's stance.

Whirlwind Slash, the warrior's Whirlwind Slash, long time no see! Gu Fei felt like he hadn't encountered this move in a long time, and using this method to counter it was even more ancient.

He raised his sword to block, seizing the opportunity.

Sword and axe clashed with a crisp sound, and Gu Fei was knocked away by the Whirlwind Slash. The warrior was stunned for a moment but quickly cheered up: "Hahaha, you're going to roll down the mountain too!"

He thought that Gu Fei would definitely roll down the mountain after being knocked back like that. But Gu Fei sneered dismissively. His block was a matter of using the force against itself. The final direction of the force was transformed by Gu Fei, which meant that the direction of the flight was under Gu Fei's control. How could he let himself be knocked down the mountain?

Even if he flew off the mountain with this force, Gu Fei would definitely land steadily on the slope. Did he think this move was a fighter's body slam, with stiffness in the air…? Gu Fei rarely looked down on his opponents from a game perspective.

The warrior was happy at first, but after seeing Gu Fei's flight direction and momentum, he guessed that it was impossible for him to fly off the mountain and roll down. He felt very regretful, regretting that he couldn't avenge the brothers who had been pushed down the mountain.

While flying in the air, Gu Fei switched his equipment, replacing his sword with a saber, completing the exchange in the blink of an eye. With the炎之洗礼 (Yan Zhi Xili, Baptism of Fire) in hand, almost the moment he landed, he slashed at the player beside him.

This player had seen Gu Fei flying towards him and was thinking about how he could use the momentum to throw him off the mountain, feeling quite excited! He never expected Gu Fei to land so steadily, let alone that the attack would arrive almost before he landed.

This slash was brilliant, the flames ignited by the炎之洗礼 (Yan Zhi Xili, Baptism of Fire) making the person's face flushed red.

"He used a spell!!" The others didn't even care about their own brother's life or death, cheering for it, and then rushed forward excitedly, preparing to chop Gu Fei into mincemeat.

"Wait, that's not a spell!!" Yuexia Dubai was furious. He shouted, wondering why these guys couldn't be more calm! If it was a spell, how could that person still be standing there? Yuexia Dubai had experienced this kind of attack when he fought Gu Fei last time. It was an imbued attack. It was indeed very similar to Double炎閃 (Yan Shan, Flame Flash), but the damage was incomparable.

It was too late when Yuexia Dubai shouted this. Their own melee classes had already surrounded Gu Fei, grinding their teeth. The originally scattered positions had almost simultaneously reached Gu Fei's side… Could it be… that his landing after being knocked away by the Whirlwind Slash was also carefully chosen?

Yuexia Dubai's face was filled with disbelief. His belated reminder had no effect. The guys who had rushed to Gu Fei's side, although they had heard his shout, were now filled with adrenaline. Besides, it was probably too late to retreat now, so they simply thought of sacrificing three of them to chop Gu Fei on the spot.

Unfortunately, they still underestimated Gu Fei's skills.

"Double炎閃 (Yan Shan, Flame Flash)!" Gu Fei had already completed the equipment exchange again. The暗夜流光剑 (An Ye Liu Guang Jian, Dark Night Flowing Light Sword) was held in front of him, Gu Fei's feet were turning, his waist was twisting, and at the same time, his arms and wrists were all waving in one direction.

First of all, he had to thank the Hei Shou mercenary group for their encounter with Gu Fei under the city gate that day.

Because the skill time was constant, Gu Fei had been studying how to kill more people in the limited time that Double炎閃 (Yan Shan, Flame Flash) was burning. Before, he simply added agility to increase attack speed and then calculated the enemy's position to maximize the effect. But that accidental turn under the city gate that day made Gu Fei realize that his previous thinking was really simple and stupid. He had been solidified by the game settings and felt both sad and ashamed.

Before, he only paid attention to the attack speed, but in fact, by effectively coordinating all the rotatable parts of his body, the attack range of this move would be significantly improved. At this time, the range of Gu Fei's Double炎閃 (Yan Shan, Flame Flash) had reached nearly 450 degrees under the rotation…

This meant that some of the guys standing in a circle in front of him would be attacked twice by the same Double炎閃 (Yan Shan, Flame Flash), which was something no mage could do.

White light bloomed around Gu Fei like fireworks. To be honest, Yuexia Dubai didn't expect this situation. He didn't expect Gu Fei to be able to kill a circle of people. This circle had a full six people…

Out of twenty people, only six were left. Gu Fei's mana was indeed exhausted. But the problem was that the remaining six people were three priests, two knights, and an archer… This combination made Yuexia Dubai want to cry. Even if the archer was the mage's nemesis, could they turn the tide with just one archer in this situation?

While Yuexia Dubai was still thinking, Gu Fei stretched out his hand: "Lightning, descend!"

A bolt of lightning struck down, and Yuexia Dubai didn't need to think anymore. The archer had been killed by Gu Fei's lightning strike. After using four ultimate moves, Gu Fei would still have a little mana left, enough for either a Fireball or a Lightning spell. Lightning was a level 40 class change skill, and with Gu Fei's abnormal cross-level equipment, it was easy to kill a squishy class.

Three priests and two knights, two classes known as having no combat power in the parallel world, were now standing naked in front of Gu Fei.

Gu Fei didn't hesitate. The challenge task that Han Jia Gongzi had given him wasn't over yet! He switched weapons again, swinging the炎之洗礼 (Yan Zhi Xili, Baptism of Fire) towards Yuexia Dubai. At the same time, he put on all the imbued accessories he had taken off earlier. Gu Fei had put in a lot of effort to lure the enemy this time.
