Hu Die Lan

Chapter 543 Returning a Favor

The Sword Devil was feeling rather tragic at this moment. He had launched an attack at such close range, yet he hadn't expected Broken Arrow to react. The Sword Devil could already feel that his two strikes hadn't landed solidly. The difference in reaction time with such specially trained talents was simply impossible to make up.

Although he hadn't dealt a one-hit-kill level of damage, the impact of Mist Shadow Assault still exploded. Broken Arrow was sent flying far away by this attack, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to fall into the bushes. Last time, he had been caught off guard during his panicked landing and was finished off by Gu Fei's sword. Now, the tragedy was repeating itself. Broken Arrow glanced at Gu Fei, who had even put away his sword, obviously only intending to enjoy his duel with the Sword Devil.

Broken Arrow breathed a sigh of relief. Since the attack wasn't fatal, there was still a chance. As he thought this, Broken Arrow began to pay attention to his landing spot in the air, looking for any places where he could immediately hide. But this one glance made him shout inwardly! The place where he was about to fall was actually another large patch of trap formations. Now, in the air, he had lost his balance and could no longer adjust his body. Falling like this, being caught by the traps was a sure thing.

Everything happened so fast. No sooner had Broken Arrow shouted inwardly that things were bad than he was already lying on the ground, with branches and broken twigs flying in all directions under his violent impact. A series of "啪啪啪" sounds rang out. Experienced and perceptive individuals like Ru Shui Shen immediately heard that Broken Arrow had triggered at least six traps at once.

Broken Arrow, who had fallen to the ground, had lost the ability to move, but at least he could still use his hands to support himself and stand up. Looking up, he saw the Sword Devil walking step by step towards him with a dagger in his hand, his figure gradually disappearing with each step: Stealth!

Broken Arrow was in a trap formation. Even in a stealth state, he would trigger the traps. However, the Sword Devil disappeared, and the Sword Devil continued to advance, but his figure never reappeared. There was only one explanation: he hadn't triggered a trap. Step by step, he had avoided the traps in this trap formation.

This guy! Broken Arrow realized that the Sword Devil was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

The reason he had completely disregarded the traps on the ground and launched a Mist Shadow Assault directly at him was because he knew that there were no traps on that border.

He had used Mist Shadow Assault, but he had already anticipated that he might not be able to instantly kill Broken Arrow. He had also predicted that, no matter how skilled Broken Arrow was, he wouldn't be able to dodge safely. Therefore, this stab was intentionally meant to send Broken Arrow into this trap formation.

At this moment, he was avoiding the traps in the trap formation with every step, obviously because he also had some understanding of this trap formation. Posing as Ji Du Shen Han's player and mixing into their group, the Sword Devil hadn't come to do nothing like Gu Fei. He had seriously learned and sought advice about trap knowledge.

He really shouldn't have underestimated him!

Game experts are experts. All experts have one thing in common: they all use their brains. People who only know how to use brute force or equipment can never become true experts.

It was too late for Broken Arrow to lament these things. The Sword Devil had disappeared before his eyes, and he had no idea where the Sword Devil was.

Experts who cultivate both internally and externally can find the location of those who are paying attention to them through intuition. Broken Arrow was only aware of this point. Unfortunately, he wasn't an expert of that level. Cultivation also has levels, and Broken Arrow's ability was only enough to have intermittent intuitions. This might play some role in a rapidly changing and critical moment, but when the pace was slowed down so much, without Gu Fei's accurate grasp, this intuition was useless.

Broken Arrow was fully aware of the degree of enhancement that the traps received from Ji Du Shen Han's group's trap equipment. He would need at least ten seconds before he could possibly recover his movement. At this moment, the Sword Devil might already be next to him... Broken Arrow was completely unable to resist this unknown attack. He finally gave up his attempt to struggle. He had already created enough tragedies today, and Broken Arrow didn't want to continue being a joke.

Quiet, more quiet. This forest, which had been lively all night, had repeatedly welcomed this quietness. But this time, it was undoubtedly the quietest. Compared to every previous time when it was shocked into silence by shocking scenes, this time it was the kind of breathless gaze waiting for the ending. It possessed a real, deathly silence.

This pressure was concentrated on the two people in the arena.

Broken Arrow's psychological quality was absolutely top-notch. He didn't show the slightest fear under such pressure.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the Sword Devil to appear, waiting for Broken Arrow to disappear.

The Sword Devil finally appeared, but Broken Arrow didn't immediately disappear. The Sword Devil only appeared behind him, and the Sword Devil's dagger was pointing at his waist.

"You lost," the Sword Devil said.

Broken Arrow suddenly turned his head upon hearing the voice behind him. The Sword Devil had spoken, but he hadn't died yet. He thought he still had a glimmer of hope, but when he turned his head, he found that the Sword Devil's dagger was already placed at his waist. It wasn't that he had a chance, but that the Sword Devil hadn't stabbed him at all.

Broken Arrow was a little puzzled, and he looked at the Sword Devil.

"I owed you a favor before," the Sword Devil had already put away his dagger. "It's cleared now."

Broken Arrow was stunned, and he understood what the Sword Devil was referring to. Before, they had been suspicious of his purpose in joining Ji Du Shen Han and had caused a lot of trouble. Afterward, they expressed their apologies for this. Ru Shui Shen had already told Broken Arrow this on their behalf. However, now that the cards were on the table, although Broken Arrow's contact with Ji Du Shen Han didn't have the kind of malicious intent they had imagined, it was still inextricably linked to them. If it were according to Broken Arrow's thinking, it would be hard to say that he was still owed a favor.

"You don't owe me anything," Broken Arrow said.

"Whether I owe you or not is my idea and not up to you," the Sword Devil said before retreating. "In short, I don't think I owe you anything now, so next time we meet, I won't be merciful."

In front of everyone, Broken Arrow, who was originally a god in the eyes of many people, was completely defeated and was even allowed to leave on the pretext of returning a favor. For anyone with self-esteem, this was more uncomfortable than dying directly. Under so many watchful eyes, leaving wasn't an easy thing to do.

But Broken Arrow didn't seem to care at all. He just looked at the Sword Devil, who had already turned his back to him, nodded to Gu Fei over there, and then turned around and walked out of the trap.

"Sorry..." The Sword Devil walked to Gu Fei. "You worked so hard, but I let him go."

"What are you talking about!" Gu Fei said angrily. "What's hard work? It was just a piece of cake."

The happiest person in the audience was actually Ru Shui Shen. He laughed and jumped in front of the two of them, patting the Sword Devil hard and saying, "Hahaha, you're really a person who knows right from wrong. I admire you more and more..."

Gu Fei glanced at him. "You just think that both sides are acquaintances of yours, and it's really difficult to have a life-and-death fight on your territory and under your nose, so the current ending is the best, right?"

"You actually saw through it. You're really amazing!!" Ru Shui Shen started patting Gu Fei hard again.

Gu Fei helplessly despised him again and looked at the Sword Devil. "When are you doing your mission?"

"There's no rush for that. Now that we're entangled, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future, right?" the Sword Devil said.

"Be careful, that guy is still very difficult to deal with," Gu Fei said.

"Yeah!" The Sword Devil definitely agreed with this point. Just being able to survive the Mist Shadow Assault was far beyond ordinary players.

The players of Ji Du Shen Han were still a little confused. It was already a bit strange that the guild leader didn't let everyone participate in this PK. After the PK, letting Lao Duan leave and being so close to his two opponents made everyone even more confused. Just as they were wondering and preparing to ask, the entire guild received a system message: Player Broken Arrow has left the guild.

There was an uproar. Although Broken Arrow had only joined the guild for a short time, he was the focus of everyone's attention in recent days. He was definitely not an ordinary passerby player. Everyone thought that there must be something major happening when he left. They chatted in groups, those who were close to Ru Shui Shen privately messaged Ru Shui Shen, and those who had just witnessed this PK all swarmed over. They believed that Lao Duan's departure must have something to do with this PK.

Ru Shui Shen had no choice but to leave the two of them and was surrounded by a group of players asking questions.

"Being a guild leader is indeed not easy!" the Sword Devil said with deep feeling. Back in his era, it was nothing more than being surrounded and吵吵 in the channel or voice, which was already annoying enough. Seeing Ru Shui Shen being surrounded by a group of people and asked until he was dizzy, the Sword Devil suddenly felt a chill. The scale of guilds in the parallel world was much larger than in previous games, and he needed to have such direct face-to-face communication with his brothers even more. Perhaps he should be thankful that he didn't form a guild this time. Ru Shui Shen's current situation was really a bit tragic.

"Tsk tsk, with this encirclement, it's a pity that he didn't use a Shuang Yan Shan..." Gu Fei also muttered from the side at this time. The Sword Devil broke out in a sweat upon hearing this. If Gu Fei's position was replaced with Ru Shui Shen and he threw out a Shuang Yan Shan, with his slashing skills, at least twenty people would die from this one technique...

Broken Arrow, who had left the forest, immediately contacted Ye Xiao Wu: "I just met Qian Li Zui and the Sword Devil and lost to them."

"How could you have met so coincidentally..." Ye Xiao Wu said.

"That guy, he specifically ran to the forest to wait for me," Broken Arrow said.

"This person..." Ye Xiao Wu muttered. Gu Fei should be embarrassed to run to Ru Shui Shen's place to make things difficult for Broken Arrow. This question of favor was originally analyzed by Ye Xiao Wu and Broken Arrow together, but they didn't expect this guy to play completely out of line.

"How is it now?" Ye Xiao Wu asked.

"Not dead..." Broken Arrow said this and that, but he didn't want to dwell on his situation and instead asked Ye Xiao Wu, "Where are you?"

"I'm on the way to Bai Shi City," Ye Xiao Wu replied.
