Chapter 426 Seeing Eye to Eye

The sensing of Qi Field can only grasp a rough idea; it’s impossible to accurately gauge distance. But Gu Fei couldn't care less at this point. He vaguely felt his opponent closing in from behind, and he suddenly turned around and slashed down with his sword.

The sword missed. Gu Fei suddenly realized that he had either struck too early or struck off-target. But he didn't panic. Immediately, a second sword attack followed, sweeping upwards. The Seventeen Styles of Night Battle in All Directions was a continuous attack, meant to be executed in one breath. It aimed to pinpoint the opponent's location with the first move, then relentlessly attack until death, giving the opponent no chance to retaliate.

Gu Fei’s first sword missed, and the second sword he launched while stepping forward still missed. At this point, he determined it wasn't a matter of distance, but that he was off-target. But should he adjust to the left or to the right? Gu Fei was getting annoyed. Damn it, when he really needs help, Yu Tian Shen Ming doesn't say a word.

Just as he was pondering left or right, he heard laughter in front of him. It turned out the little girl was laughing at Gu Fei’s two wild swings.

When fighting, the sound of wind generated by fists and weapons often leads to errors when Gu Fei tries to pinpoint the source with his eyes closed. But this clear and bright laughter was unmistakable. The third move immediately adjusted in response to the sound. The little girl was still laughing when suddenly a flash of sword light appeared before her eyes, and the laughter abruptly stopped. The sword literally blocked her mouth because Gu Fei's sword actually grazed her lips.

There was nothing he could do. After all, the sound was coming from that area, and Gu Fei's strikes were so precise and the situation was so critical that he couldn't think too much about it.

The little girl was thoroughly frightened, and she didn't dare to move at all. But Gu Fei didn't realize that his move had such a terrifying effect. He only felt like he had stabbed something. Then he retracted his sword, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth moves… The Seventeen Styles of Night Battle in All Directions formally began. Not to mention the girl was already scared stiff, even if she were perfectly normal, it would be difficult for her to defend or dodge under Gu Fei's sword attacks.

Sword light flashed, and lightning occasionally flickered. It was just that Gu Fei couldn't see right now, so his attack power wasn't perfectly executed. But even so, by the time all seventeen moves were completed, it would be enough to finish off the little girl.

The mage saw everything and was anxious to help, but Yu Tian Shen Ming kept harassing her with his professional advantages. The girl gritted her teeth but was helpless. Actually, if Yu Tian Shen Ming wasn't so soft-hearted because she was a beautiful woman, his skills, combined with his class advantage, would have made it easy for him to kill the mage.

Over here, the thief girl was about to die under Gu Fei's sword when Gu Fei's attack suddenly stopped. It turned out his eyes had suddenly recovered at this moment. In an instant, everything before him was clear without any transition. Then he saw a little girl in front of him with a bloodless, horrified expression. Gu Fei thought there was no need to kill her, so he stopped the attack.

Even so, Gu Fei still dared not be careless toward the little girl who had given him a hard time with her cunning. Although he stopped attacking, the sword was still resting on her shoulder. "Don't move!"

The little girl didn't dare to make a sound. Gu Fei looked back and saw that Zhan Wu Shang's Whirlwind Slash was also over. He was now wildly swinging his sword to protect himself, but in reality, no one was preparing to attack him. On the other side, Yu Tian Shen Ming was messing around with the mage girl. Gu Fei glanced at them and knew it wasn't even a PK anymore; it was basically flirting. Looking at Yu Tian Shen Ming's gleeful expression, Gu Fei sighed inwardly: It's such a waste of talent that the Eternal Flower Society hasn't absorbed you.

"Stop, or I'll kill her!" Gu Fei finally shouted. Taking a hostage to threaten them didn't seem very honorable, but it depended on the situation. In the current situation, it would be easy for Gu Fei to kill the thief and Yu Tian Shen Ming to kill the mage. The fact that we’re using a hostage to threaten you is giving you a chance.

Sure enough, when the mage girl heard Gu Fei's shout and saw that the little girl had been captured, she showed concern in her eyes and immediately stopped attacking.

Yu Tian Shen Ming smiled broadly and ran to Gu Fei's side. "Hehe, you're so despicable. That works?"

Gu Fei ignored him. Seeing that the other side had stopped, he also withdrew the sword from the little girl's shoulder. "It's just a small matter. Why fight and kill? Let's just disperse!"

The little girl had probably regained her breath at this point. Seeing that Gu Fei had withdrawn his sword, she quickly used Haste and slipped back to the mage's side, tugging at the mage's sleeve and saying, "Sister, kill them quickly!"

"Wow, they're flower sisters. I was wondering why they looked a little alike," Yu Tian Shen Ming said in surprise.

Still paying attention to this, Gu Fei really wanted to slap him. But the little girl seemed to lack gratitude. Gu Fei thought as he raised his sword and cast a Lightning Spell.

A blue light flashed, and a bolt of lightning struck in front of the little girl. The little girl's face immediately returned to its previous bloodless state.

"Don't make any noise, or I'll kill you first." To prevent the little girl from starting trouble again, Gu Fei could only threaten her.

"You're scaring me!" The little girl's voice changed, but she was still stubborn.

But the mage girl knew that Gu Fei was definitely not bluffing. He could use Dual Flame Flash to dispel her Ice Cyclone, so his magic attack power must be very high. Killing a thief with a sliver of health with a single Lightning Spell was not just an empty threat.

"Xiao Zhu, don't say anything." The girl who had been silent finally spoke. She took a piece of bread from her pocket and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl really stopped speaking, took the bread, and went to the side to munch on it, but she still glared at Gu Fei from time to time.

"Haha, that's the way to do it!" Gu Fei said, then rudely took out an apple and started munching on it, watching Zhan Wu Shang, who was still wildly swinging his sword, with Yu Tian Shen Ming. This guy was probably too focused and didn't hear the conversation after the battle had ended.

But in the blink of an eye, his eyes had also returned to normal. Seeing everyone's expressions, he quickly stopped his crazy swinging, coughed lightly, struck a graceful pose, waved his hand to fix his hair, and put on a silent, serious expression again, which made Gu Fei really want to slap him.

"Are you the video mage?" Unexpectedly, the one who broke the silence was the cold female mage, and she recognized Gu Fei's identity as soon as she spoke.

"Yes, that's me," Gu Fei nodded.

"Thousand Miles Drunk?" she asked.

Gu Fei was surprised. He didn't expect this person to have even found out his name. Of course, it wasn't a secret anymore. Most of the players in Cloud City knew it, so it wasn't surprising that the news had spread to other cities. But it was the first time someone had identified him so thoroughly, so Gu Fei was still a little surprised.

"The former 27149?" This girl was really astonishing. It wasn't surprising to know that the video mage was called Thousand Miles Drunk, but there weren't many people who could connect that to 27149.

"Are you researching me?" Gu Fei asked in surprise.

The girl actually nodded. "I noticed you a long time ago."

Gu Fei immediately thought of something. "Are you Gui Tong?"

The girl nodded.

From that time on, some of Gu Fei's situations often became hot topics on the forum. If someone had the inclination to connect the dots and study them, it was very possible to discover that these characters were the same person.

"It's hard for you to put in so much effort," Gu Fei could only chuckle. Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming were very unhappy. They were facing a beautiful woman, but Gu Fei had stolen all the attention. Yu Tian Shen Ming was puzzled. He had suppressed her with his sharp archery for so long, so why didn't she even glance at him?

As for Zhan Wu Shang, there was no need to mention him. His seven-foot sword was frozen before he could even make a move, making him look like an idiot. It was already a miracle that he could still stand here as if nothing had happened. Actually, he had a little secret in his heart! When they first exchanged blows, he had boldly declared that he would only use one sword move to give way, but in the end… he had brought shame on himself! Zhan Wu Shang sighed inwardly, but he didn't show it at all on the surface.

"Hehehe, it's a pleasure to meet you." At this moment, Gu Fei greeted Gui Tong with very polite words and said to Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming, "Then let's go first?"

"Go? Go where?" the two asked in unison.

"Meeting by chance is better than being invited. We've met through fighting, so why not go in and have a drink?" Zhan Wu Shang was acting like a poet.

"Yeah, that's right. Thousand Miles, you're so impolite," Yu Tian Shen Ming looked down on Gu Fei.

"..."

But it turned out that the girl had a keen eye. "Since you guys have something to do, we'll take our leave first. Maybe we'll see you again in the future! Xiao Zhu, let's go."

"It's okay, we don't have anything to do! We don't have anything to do! Right, Thousand Miles?" Zhan Wu Shang quickly grabbed Gu Fei's shoulders and winked at him wildly, while Yu Tian Shen Ming was desperately helping out. "That's right! It's okay, let's have a drink together?"

Gui Tong looked back at the three and said, "If you really have something to do, you can actually tell me. Maybe I can help."

"Is that so? Have you seen a guy named Jian Nan You? If you see him, be sure to tell me. I'm going to kill him!" Zhan Wu Shang continued to hold Gu Fei with one hand, while the other hand waved the giant sword in his hand with a powerful aura.

"Jian Nan You? I just bumped into him at the tavern," Gui Tong said.

"What?" The three were shocked to hear that she could actually help. At this moment, it could be seen who was pretending and who was really helping. Zhan Wu Shang was just stunned, while Gu Fei quickly asked, "Where did he go now?"

"I'm not too sure," Gui Tong replied.

"Are you friends with him?" Gu Fei asked.

"No," Gui Tong replied bluntly.

"Then you are..." Gu Fei was a little puzzled.

"Just a little business relationship. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I wanted to see your equipment as the video mage, so I hired them to kill you," Gui Tong said, continuing to look at Gu Fei. But she saw Gu Fei scratching his head, looking at Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming. "Jian Nan You wanted to get my equipment? How come I don't know?"

"Yeah, aren't you the one who's been chasing him?" The two were equally confused.
