Chapter 130 Drawing the Sword

Chapter 1 A Character Loathed

Mang Mang de Mang Mang was a character that both people and gods detested in Moonlit City. When people like Liu Xia mentioned the former Qian Chen Guild, the first person they condemned wasn't the guild leader, Silver Moon, but this guild leader's wife, Mang Mang de Mang Mang. If she ever fell on hard times, there truly wouldn't be any place for her in Moonlit City. The moment anyone saw her, she'd be a goner.

Moreover, Yun Zhong Mu and his group who defeated the Qian Chen Guild weren't righteous heroes either. If you thought they eliminated the Qian Chen Guild for the sake of peace in Moonlit City, you were being far too idealistic. There were hardly any pacifists in online games. Now that the Qian Chen Guild had fallen, Yun Zhong Mu and his group had risen. With the ferocity and passion of this bunch, they'd definitely be even more arrogant than Mang Mang de Mang Mang ever was. So, dealing with a character like Mang Mang de Mang Mang, with such deep-seated resentment, they naturally spared no effort. And now, the chase had spread to Cloudrise City.

Bu Xiao and Yun Zhong Mu had a deep connection. He was even willing to let Yun Zhong Mu use his dagger, "Whispers of the Wind," which in the world of online games, was enough to prove that the two shared a life-or-death friendship. Yun Zhong Mu had once wanted to help Bu Xiao deal with Gu Fei, but now it seemed that Bu Xiao was helping Yun Zhong Mu with his chase.

"What are you guys doing here?" Bu Xiao spoke first. He recognized both Luo Luo and Gu Fei. Of course, in his eyes, Gu Fei wasn't the nemesis who had killed him again and again, but just a despicable guy who had stolen his dagger.

Luo Luo clearly didn't have any good feelings towards Bu Xiao and ignored him completely. Gu Fei, on the other hand, replied, "You're still alive?"

Bu Xiao was furious! He was contemplating whether he should just take care of these two as well, since he had already fallen out with Yue Qi, Luo Luo, and the others.

"Who are these two?" Someone next to Bu Xiao asked him.

Bu Xiao was taken aback. This was a difficult question to answer. The only person he had a direct relationship with was Yue Qi. If Yue Qi was his enemy, then these two were just friends of his enemy. The relationship seemed a bit distant. He was here to help Yun Zhong Mu and his group chase Mang Mang de Mang Mang, so there was no need to create trouble for these two. Thinking this, Bu Xiao casually replied, "It's nothing, just acquaintances."

Gu Fei and Luo Luo were both quite surprised. They had both thought that Bu Xiao would take advantage of his numbers to give them some trouble! But now it seemed that he had no such intention.

"Oh, then please excuse us! We're here from Moonlit City, looking specifically for this woman!" The person said to the two, pointing at Mang Mang de Mang Mang.

Luo Luo glanced at Gu Fei. Mang Mang de Mang Mang's situation looked quite miserable, and she felt sympathetic. But ever since he had seen this woman, Gu Fei had been very indifferent, which was quite different from the Gu Fei she knew. Luo Luo vaguely felt that something was up, so she didn't say anything and tugged at Gu Fei, saying, "Let's go?"

Gu Fei nodded and took two steps back.

Luo Luo hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "Or, should we watch?" Although she wasn't a busybody, she was definitely a gossip.

"Sure," Gu Fei said.

As the two retreated, Bu Xiao and his group immediately surrounded Mang Mang de Mang Mang.

Mang Mang de Mang Mang was just a priest with a very slow movement speed, so she hadn't even bothered to try to escape after being discovered. Now that she was surrounded, she simply said, "Just do it quickly, stop dragging it out."

The other party sneered, "You ran so far, it must have been tough. Don't you want to enjoy the scenery a bit more?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and swung his blade.

Mang Mang de Mang Mang dodged, but didn't manage to evade completely. She was already at a much lower level than them, and besides, she was a priest with little practical experience. Wincing in pain, she gritted her teeth and cast a healing spell on herself.

"You stubborn woman, always trying to hold on!" The person cursed, raising his hand for another strike.

Mang Mang de Mang Mang dodged again, and was struck again, but she still stubbornly cast a healing spell on herself.

"Let me try! Let me try!" Two more people jumped out of the group, one was a mage, and the other, surprisingly, was also a priest.

The mage didn't use magic, and the priest didn't use healing spells. Instead, the two of them used their staffs to smash down on Mang Mang de Mang Mang's head.

"How about I join in?" The archer from the other party's group also stepped out, abandoning the usual PK style of archers and wielding his longbow like a crescent blade.

Bu Xiao didn't make a move, but just stood on the side with a cruel smile.

This wasn't PK at all, just a game to pass the time. The few guys used the methods that caused the least damage to beat on Mang Mang de Mang Mang. And Mang Mang de Mang Mang, faced with this kind of attack, had no ability to resist, but she always cast a healing spell on herself with meticulous care.

"Is this all you can do to resist? You're really gentle!" The others mocked Mang Mang de Mang Mang, and the word "gentle" seemed to become a wonderful irony when used on her, and they all laughed.

Luo Luo couldn't bear to watch any longer. She opened her mouth to say something to Gu Fei, but saw that the corner of Gu Fei's eye was also twitching.

"Ah..." Mang Mang de Mang Mang, who had been gritting her teeth and not making a sound, suddenly cried out in surprise, after being tripped by the other party's priest's staff.

"Hahaha..." Everyone stopped their attacks and laughed loudly at the disheveled Mang Mang de Mang Mang, who was sprawled on the ground.

Mang Mang de Mang Mang quickly got up, but her body was already swaying. She had been online for too long, and her body was already exhausted and weak.

"Still going to hold on?" The other party cursed, slashing down with his blade.

Healing spell!

"Still holding on!" Another slash.

Still a healing spell.

"Keep holding on!!" The group cursed, showering her with blows.

The answer they received was always just a healing spell.

"That woman, step aside!" Suddenly someone spoke.

Everyone looked over in surprise, and saw Gu Fei walking over, his robes swaying.

There were only two women present, and judging from the direction of Gu Fei's gaze, these words seemed to be directed at Mang Mang de Mang Mang.

"What do you want? Trying to be a hero?" Bu Xiao sneered, but tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand. He didn't want to make the same mistake twice. However, he originally didn't want to cause trouble for these two, but since the other party had come looking for trouble, he couldn't be blamed. Bu Xiao thought.

Mang Mang de Mang Mang also turned to look at Gu Fei, but her face showed no expression: "I don't need your help."

"I'm not helping you, I want to help them," Gu Fei said.

"Oh?" One of the others was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Brother wants to play too? Welcome, welcome."

Gu Fei smiled, walked into the circle, stood in front of Mang Mang de Mang Mang, and said to the crowd, "I'm here to teach you what PK is!"

"Twin Incineration, flash!"

Flames erupted, and the priest who had tripped Mang Mang de Mang Mang disappeared.

"Crap!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Stand aside, I'm going to give them a lesson," Gu Fei said to Mang Mang de Mang Mang, turning his head.

Mang Mang de Mang Mang was quite surprised. Just a single Twin Incineration had killed the other party's priest, the spell damage was truly astonishing. What was even more frightening was that Gu Fei was empty-handed, without even using a weapon.

Of course, Gu Fei had used a weapon, it was just that the people behind him hadn't seen it.

Gu Fei had quickly taken out the dark sword, Flowing Light, from his pocket, chanted, attacked, and then quickly stuffed the sword back into his pocket. This was within the scope of the Quick Draw technique.

Legend has it that the Quick Draw technique used the arc of drawing the sword and the friction generated by the collision with the scabbard to create a moment of explosive force, achieving greater power than ordinary slashing. But this was just a legend. In fact, the true essence of the Quick Draw technique lay in a sneak attack.

A sword in its scabbard will naturally make your opponent feel safe. Then, you suddenly erupt and quickly draw your sword to launch a fatal blow, and your opponent, who is feeling sluggish, will most likely be taken down by you.

If the killing power really came from the friction of drawing the sword, then it would mean that after you quickly drew your sword and delivered a blow, you would have to even more quickly insert the sword back into the scabbard. Otherwise, how could you draw a second time?

In that case, how to quickly and accurately insert the sword back into the scabbard would definitely be a more difficult technique than how to quickly draw the sword. How many Japanese warriors, superstitious about the Quick Draw technique, painstakingly practiced the techniques of drawing the sword and inserting it back into the scabbard, only to fail in the skill of inserting the sword back into the scabbard. As a result, they didn't master the Quick Draw technique, but instead invented the courageous technique of ritual suicide. It could be called a unique flower in the history of martial arts.

Gu Fei was currently using a bit of the Quick Draw technique to achieve the purpose of hiding his weapon. To be honest, drawing a sword from a pocket and putting it back was much easier than using a scabbard to perform the Quick Draw technique.

"You bastard!" One of the other party roared angrily, only to be greeted by another Twin Incineration.

There were six of them in Bu Xiao's group, and in the blink of an eye, two had already sacrificed themselves.

The remaining four could no longer care about Mang Mang de Mang Mang. Clearly, Gu Fei was a more difficult opponent to deal with.

Bu Xiao was very frightened at this moment. He was puzzled as to why Rebirth Purple Crystal had so many powerful helpers. 27149 used to be one, and now this one was too.

There wasn't much time for him to think, because Gu Fei cast another Twin Incineration, arcing slightly, and instantly killed the two who had charged up. In the blink of an eye, only Bu Xiao and another warrior wielding a giant axe were left in the field.

"What level are you now?" Gu Fei suddenly asked Bu Xiao.

"Level 40," Bu Xiao's footsteps were already trending backwards.

"You're actually higher than me!" Gu Fei said with dissatisfaction.

"Ya!!!" The giant axe warrior suddenly roared angrily and chopped down.

Gu Fei moved slightly to the side to let it pass: "You look a bit familiar, what's your name?"

"My name is Pig Immortal, remember it!" Pig Immortal roared.

"Oh, okay, go then!" Gu Fei raised his hand, and Pig Immortal was killed instantly.

Bu Xiao was already trembling. At this moment, he had no will to fight, and only wanted to escape. Just as he was about to activate Vanish, there was suddenly a sound of wind breaking through the air, followed by two rapid arrows that pierced Bu Xiao's forehead. White light rose...

Gu Fei looked over and saw Yu Tian Shen Ming jumping up and down on the other end: "Damn, you're PK-ing again!!!!!!"
