Chapter 528 The Biggest Flaw of the Misty Shadow Raid
“Justice resides in the hearts of the people. Whether Qiansui Yizui disrupts the balance isn’t decided by one person. However, I believe that most people who recognize his exaggeration will agree that he is a balance breaker,” the priest said with confidence.
Jian Gui smiled faintly, “That’s just most people not wanting to see others stronger than themselves. To put it bluntly, it’s sour grapes.”
“It seems we really can’t see eye to eye. You disappoint me,” the priest said.
“You disappoint me too. I can see that you came to persuade me to join you? But your eloquence doesn’t seem to be as good as you think! Even a guy as inarticulate as me hasn’t been outdone in this debate. Rare indeed,” Jian Gui said.
“Since you understand our intentions, then I’ll ask you one last time. Are you willing to recognize that Qiansui Yizui’s existence is a great disruption to the balance and join us in suppressing his destruction?” the priest said.
“Hmph!” Jian Gui snorted coldly, “I absolutely acknowledge Qiansui’s existence, and I will stand by his side as his most steadfast partner.”
“Hmph!” The priest also sneered, “Isn’t your firm stance on Qiansui’s side just because you think you can get more benefits from it? Your dual daggers, your Mist Shadow Raid, your faction, haven’t you obtained all of them because of Qiansui? In fact, I can help you get more real benefits. For example, aren’t you annoyed that you can’t give up the faction daily quests? Actually, there are ways to give them up. How about it? Want to hear them?”
Jian Gui looked at the priest, at his confident smile, and shook his head, “At my age, I really shouldn’t be so direct with insults, but I can’t help it. You idiot, put away your God complex of presuming to know what others are thinking! I’ll tell you one last time, I absolutely don’t think Qiansui is an unreasonable existence, and I can even tell you that my goal is to become that kind of unreasonable existence! As for you, I can only think of four words: inexplicable nonsense.”
Jian Gui wanted to leave after saying that, only to see the priest behind him say regretfully, “Since that’s the case…”
The Duan Shui Archer in front of him raised his hand, and the "Six-Machine Repeating Crossbow" in his hand was already pointing at Jian Gui.
“You’ve gained too many benefits from Qiansui Yizui’s abnormal performance. In order to maintain the balance of the entire game, we have no choice but to make appropriate retrievals. Don’t worry, we won’t go too far, we will only retrieve ‘Mist Shadow Raid’, ‘Dual Wield Mastery’, and the faction you belong to,” the priest said.
“Can you just retrieve these things as you please?” Jian Gui said.
“It’s very simple, as long as you drop below level 40, all these things will disappear…” the priest said.
“I see.” Jian Gui suddenly understood. Two assassin skills that ordinary thieves cannot possess, and the faction is probably also a privilege that advanced players have. If he drops in level, all these things will automatically disappear. He didn’t expect this guy to be harboring such intentions.
“I really can’t figure it out.” Jian Gui suddenly spoke again, “How can you be with this kind of lunatic?” Speaking of which, Jian Gui had always admired Duan Shui Arrow's style of doing things, and after overturning his suspicion of him, he felt that this person was actually not bad, but he didn't expect that he would be mixed up with such an inexplicable person, and from the looks of it, he seemed to be at his command.
“Like you, I’m just standing firmly on the side of my friend,” Duan Shui Arrow didn’t say too much.
“I see, I understand.” Jian Gui nodded, “Then thank you.”
“Thank me?” Duan Shui Arrow was puzzled.
“This way, my daily tasks have a chance to be completed again!” As soon as Jian Gui finished speaking, he suddenly attacked, using his strongest move, "Mist Shadow Raid". His arms crossed, he stabbed towards Duan Shui Arrow.
At this distance, it was difficult for Duan Shui Arrow to move, but he didn’t move, but quickly squatted down, pressing himself very low. Behind the two, the priest revealed a contemptuous smile.
The biggest weakness of "Mist Shadow Raid" is not the shadow under the sun, nor the sprint that requires distance, but because the user's weapon is a very short dagger, it is impossible to touch too low angles during the impact.
Of course, Jian Gui had already noticed this problem. The moment Duan Shui Arrow squatted down, he wanted to lower his arms and waist to lower his body, but he found that even if he did his best, Duan Shui Arrow would still be below his impact horizontal line.
This could be regarded as a sudden change for Jian Gui. His most confident killing move was suddenly dissolved into nothingness. Duan Shui Arrow's body was extremely low, so low that he was almost crawling on the ground like a spider. Even so, he still raised his arm.
A cold light flickered.
At such close range, and with Jian Gui not having Gu Fei's reaction speed, being hit by an arrow was inevitable.
However, Duan Shui Arrow’s arrow attack power wasn’t anything special, Jian Gui knew this in his heart.
That day, Gu Fei faced Duan Shui Arrow's sniper head-on, which was regarded as a fool's errand by Lu Ke and others. In fact, Jian Gui had been hit by one of Gu Fei's arrows before that, and Gu Fei had already privately chatted with him. The two had calculated Duan Shui Arrow's attack power and roughly estimated the damage he could do when using his strongest skill, "Snipe".
So, Gu Fei's rush without dodging was not reckless behavior at all. Duan Shui Arrow's damage was already within his calculations. He knew that he couldn't possibly die, and this was a great opportunity to get close to Duan Shui Arrow.
Gu Fei's performance was very successful, and Jian Gui dared to attack when Duan Shui Arrow was pointing his crossbow at him just now because he was sure that Duan Shui Arrow didn't have the ability to kill him instantly. So even if he was hit by an arrow, Duan Shui Arrow, who was being "Mist Shadow Raid" by Jian Gui, would be killed immediately.
He calculated everything, but he didn't expect Duan Shui Arrow to have such a dodge.
Gu Fei didn't see this flaw either. Because he didn't know that this skill had system limitations on posture. With Gu Fei's flexibility and extensibility, he could even do a charge while pushing his hands on the ground, so he didn't expect this move to have such a loophole.
Jian Gui, who was hit by this arrow, no longer thought about continuing to attack. He took advantage of the situation to swing a 180-degree drift to the side. The extremely high-speed Mist Shadow Raid suddenly rushed towards the priest.
Jian Gui knew that although this move had this shortcoming, Duan Shui Arrow was able to dodge it because of his reaction speed and agility. He could dodge, but it didn't mean that everyone could dodge, especially this priest who was only level 36 in front of him. Jian Gui had already used Appraisal Technique on him during the conversation. Level 36, with mediocre equipment. Even if he was a kung fu practitioner like Gu Fei and the others, without the improvement of equipment and level points, his skills wouldn't be very fast. The same principle applied to Gu Fei. Without the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword and the Dark Night Spirit Robe, his lethality would no longer exist. After all, the game still needs level and equipment to support it.
"Can this person dodge?" Jian Gui thought.
It seemed that he couldn't! Jian Gui saw surprise in the other party's eyes.
The priest was indeed very surprised. He didn't expect Jian Gui to turn the "Mist Shadow Raid" he was using 180 degrees to continue at that critical moment.
He knew the rules of the skill. He knew that the skill didn't say that it would definitely be interrupted after changing direction. As long as the skill time was still there and the turning movement was coherent enough, it was possible to continue.
It was just that he didn't expect that this skill, which was about level 60, would be perfectly changed by an assassin who was about level 40, and it was changed by such an exaggerated 180 degrees. With his current points, how did he achieve this kind of skill?
He didn't have time to think so much. Even if Mist Shadow Raid had flaws, its speed was completely genuine. And this priest, Ye Xiao Wu, was completely unlike what Jian Gui thought. He didn't have any skills at all. He was a genuine weak scholar…
Kill him instantly! Jian Gui only had this one thought left in his mind. Although he knew that with Duan Shui Arrow around, he might not end up in a good situation afterwards, it would be very satisfying to kill this annoying guy before he died. It was a pity that everyone couldn't be resurrected at the same resurrection point, otherwise it would be interesting to admire his expression.
Jian Gui thought he was about to succeed, but suddenly he saw something flashing out from behind the priest.
"What is it?" The thought had just flashed through Jian Gui's mind when he felt a "buzz" in his head and his whole body was suddenly nailed in place like he had been cut off from electricity.
"Sap…" Jian Gui was surprised.
Being ambushed and hit with a sap wasn't uncommon, but what surprised Jian Gui was that the other party had chased behind him and hit him with a sap while he was using "Mist Shadow Raid." Apart from Gu Fei's instant movement, Jian Gui couldn't think of anyone else who could make such a high-speed movement.
"Was it that thing that flashed past behind this priest just now?" Jian Gui thought. He didn't have Gu Fei's outstanding dynamic vision. If it were Gu Fei, he would have been able to see clearly that it was a thief flying behind him in that high-speed flash.
"That was close…" Jian Gui only heard the person behind him say, "My palms are sweating. That was too fast."
"It doesn't matter if you were late. It's no big deal if I drop a level," Ye Xiao Wu said with a smile.
Then, Jian Gui felt a burst of stinging pain in his back. He didn't have time to look back to see who this person was. He had already been mercilessly killed. Duan Shui Arrow's close-range sniper couldn't kill him instantly, but the damage was real. Jian Gui was unable to support the combined attack of the two people in front of him.
"I have to tell Qiansui about this quickly!!" Jian Gui, who was resurrected in the Thief Guild, didn't feel sad for a second about dropping a level. He quickly opened the friend list, but then smiled bitterly.
How could Gu Fei be online at this time?
"I'll notify the others first." Jian Gui thought, and quickly sent a message in the mercenary channel: "Something big happened."
"How big?" Guys like Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming, who were unreliable, always replied quickly, but they were never serious.
"I died." Jian Gui said this to make the atmosphere serious.
"What happened?" The leader spoke, and the others quickly kept the channel quiet to avoid being despised.

It’s been a long time since I updated so early, but unfortunately it’s automatic. I can’t smell the fresh air in the morning, so I hung a bag on the windowsill, hoping that the wind can blow in a little. I wonder if it can also blow in a few monthly tickets along the way~
