Chapter 17

Although Yutian Shenming was also a quick-witted kid, he didn't have Gu Fei's sensory skills, nor was he equipped with anti-stealth skills. He was completely unaware of the assassin sneaking up behind him. Any one of those five hundred people was a master. These two quietly approached, and as soon as they appeared, they launched a fatal attack. Just as they were about to succeed, Yutian Shenming's body flew out horizontally.

This horizontal flight was not elegant at all, and he staggered, almost tripping himself. The two assassins were taken aback, and even Yutian Shenming himself was greatly surprised. He quickly turned his head and immediately spotted the two assassins who had revealed themselves.

The two assassins were about to pursue, but the one on the right suddenly felt a stab in his waist, and his health bar instantly dropped a chunk. Knowing that he had been attacked, he turned his head but saw no one.

"Attacking skills while maintaining stealth..." As a master, he naturally had the ability to judge. He didn't panic. Knowing that the person was right next to him, although he couldn't see him, he swung the dagger in his hand to the maximum arc, while shouting to the other assassin beside him, "There's someone else."

Yutian Shenming knew that he had been pushed away and saved. He steadied his feet, quickly distanced himself, and drew his bow to shoot.

The assassins obviously only sent these two. When stealth could get you close, one person was enough. Two was double insurance, but the guy who was also stealthily beside Yutian Shenming obviously completely ruined their plan.

The assassin on the right swung his dagger and immediately shouted with surprise, "I hit him!"

"No need to make a fuss, so what if you hit him!" An鄙夷的声音 came from the air. Yutian Shenming was even more excited when he heard it, shouting "Xi Jie!" and letting an arrow fly.

Xi Yao Wu simply canceled her stealth and revealed herself, unceremoniously returning a slash. The assassin on the right was hit again and hurriedly parried, trying to force Xi Yao Wu back to catch his breath, but Xi Yao Wu didn't retreat at all, just thrusting another dagger.

The assassin on the right then realized that the person had no intention of playing any technical skills with him, but was going to fight him head-on. What did a head-on fight depend on? Courage and equipment, but definitely not skill. Looking at this beautiful girl, she was actually using such a direct fighting style. At any other time, the assassin on the right would never admit defeat, but now was different, because he knew who this beauty was.

Xi Yao Wu, an old friend of Qian Li Zui. If a valiant red-clothed female thief appeared, it must be her. In the intelligence about Qian Li Zui, this point was emphasized.

So everyone already knew who this female thief was.

Fighting equipment with the most high-profile RMB warrior in the game? This idea was really idiotic. So when the assassin on the right saw Xi Yao Wu appear and saw her identity, he immediately retreated. He decided to give the beauty a lesson in technical gameplay.

So he soon died.

Because Xi Yao Wu's skills were not weak at all, and she had always been absolutely dominant in equipment. She had never been afraid of anyone in a PK with the same profession. The assassin on the right wanted to play with skills, and Xi Yao Wu obliged, and soon used technique to take him down.

The assassin on the left didn't want to just watch. But Yutian Shenming's master skills had awakened at this time, and his performance was even better than usual, especially with a beauty in front of him. In comparison, Yutian Shenming had comprehensive advantages in equipment, skills, and performance. There was no reason for the assassin on the left not to lose. In the end, he only demonstrated his accurate judgment again: he realized that he had absolutely no chance, so he tried to run.

But unfortunately, even the fastest sprint couldn't compare to the speed of a marksman's arrow. Yutian Shenming unceremoniously unleashed a barrage of shots, and this person could only fly away with a flash of white light.

"Damn it!" The two assassins failed, and Shi Xin Suo couldn't help but curse. How could an old hand like Jian Gui not think of this not-so-profound trick? So he had already told Xi Yao Wu to pay attention to moving closer to Yutian Shenming to provide protection.

Dividing the troops into three groups for harassment was only the initial tactical design. As the situation developed, adjustments had to be made. At this time, Xi Yao Wu and Jian Gui and Yutian Shenming had completely converged. And Gu Fei was also starting to move towards them.

Wherever Gu Fei went, arrows rained down, and fire soared higher than people. Jian Gui had already made the five hundred people helpless. They really didn't dare to let Qian Li Zui have a chance to get close to them.

Gu Fei wandered around, moving left and right.

The five hundred people advanced, staring at Gu Fei, while blocking him out of the area and advancing.

The interception of Gu Fei was undoubtedly successful. It was almost a miracle that this guy hadn't taken away a single PK point after facing Qian Li Zui for so long. But in comparison, Jian Gui's side made them almost explode with anger.

Fog Shadow Raid, everyone had watched it over and over again. But so what? The speed was too fast, they really couldn't react. They had thought of all the methods they could think of, and tried all the means they could try. The opponent's ultimate skill was still on CD, coming once a minute, taking away two PK points each time.

At this time, the speed of the army's advance was severely slowed down. It would take at least half an hour to enter the city from here, and entering the city was not absolutely safe. They still had to walk to the revival point, which would take another ten minutes.

Calculating this way, by the time everyone had made it to the revival point safely, a hundred or so people would have died. They had only just set off from their hometown. Continuing to advance in this way would make it impossible to reach Cloud City.

Although they also thought that the opponent would definitely have to wash off the 29 PK points. But so what if they washed them off? They would come back after washing. Their journey was long, and people washing and killing would be enough to wear down their five hundred people.

Despicable, shameless, brazen. They cursed with all the words they could, but Jian Gui, as an old monster in the online gaming world, was unmoved.

Someone almost shouted "Have the guts to face-to-face duel," but was desperately held back. Wouldn't a duel be courting death? Not to mention Qian Li Zui and Jian Gui, even if Xi Yao Wu and Yutian Shenming came up, none of them would dare to say they had a sure win!

Shi Xin Suo and his group cried to heaven but got no response, and called to earth but got no answer. They could only be hunted by Jian Gui all the way towards the main city. They were also afraid of Qian Li Zui's attack, so they had to pay attention to his movements at all times. Gu Fei's moving left and right didn't know how many arrows and how much mana it had consumed from the opponent. The mages' mana wasn't endless, so everyone could only take turns using it, which meant that they couldn't continuously bombard a magic isolation zone to prevent Jian Gui from getting close. They were even bullied by Jian Gui, who killed them from the blank spots.

Gu Fei also accepted his fate this time. It seemed that he wouldn't be the protagonist in this battle for the time being. He was just a scarecrow, pretending to be menacing. Jian Gui was the main force, and Yutian Shenming was the first assistant!

This situation lasted for more than ten minutes. Shi Xin Suo and others hadn't discussed anything, and Jian Gui and Yutian Shenming's PK values had reached 28. This was a record high for both of them, and they were a little apprehensive. And the formation of five hundred people was now incomplete. Almost all of the 56 people who sacrificed were warriors, and the solid barrier that surrounded their team was leaking everywhere.

"Damn it, what 'focus on defense'? We're being played like this!" Someone began to question their overall strategy. In this unfavorable situation, conflicts would always erupt.

"Then what do you say we should do?" Shi Xin Suo was also annoyed. He was the one who set the tactical thinking, but this was already the only way.

Sure enough, no one could answer this question. They had seen Jian Gui's ultimate move dozens of times, and even their eyes couldn't keep up with the speed, let alone their actions. And Jian Gui never stepped into the detection range of their anti-stealth scouts. They were always completely unaware of his appearance.

Shi Xin Suo had thought about letting thief-type anti-stealth soldiers stealth to the outer periphery for reconnaissance, but they were quickly dug out by Qian Li Zui, who was running around. Everyone then realized that Qian Li Zui's anti-stealth skill was also quite accurate.

It was considered lucky that the one who was discovered by Qian Li Zui eventually escaped. You had to know that wherever Qian Li Zui went, the firepower of the archers and mages would follow. It was good enough if the anti-stealth soldiers didn't die under their own people's arrows and spells.

They had really exhausted all the methods, time and time again, until the other side stopped. Shi Xin Suo calculated and realized that the people they had killed had pushed the other side's PK value up, and now the other side really needed to rest for a while.

Sure enough, Jian Gui and Yutian Shenming disappeared, but Qian Li Zui was still there, still following them slowly, keeping their spirits tense, and constantly firing arrows and spells into the air to hinder Qian Li Zui, who they didn't know if he was planning to get close to them...

Shi Xin Suo constantly urged the team to speed up. He had no way to deal with Jian Gui's CD stream. He only hoped that before those two guys came back, they could walk a little more and quickly run into the city to a safe place to rest.

At this time, Gu Fei and the others were also holding a small group meeting.

"What do you think? Should we continue to chase this group of people?" Jian Gui asked.

"Why not? We finally opened a gap. If we add a little more effort, we can eliminate them." Gu Fei's ambition was extraordinary. He was thinking of killing all five hundred people.

"Washing off PK points isn't as fast for me and Yutian as it is for you. By the time we're done washing, they might have already entered the city. If they're smart, they'll probably just run to the revival point and log off temporarily to avoid us. We can't just keep waiting for them here, right?"

"That makes sense..." Gu Fei nodded.

"Why don't we wait for me and Yutian to wash off our PK points, and then we'll switch to another main city? There might be another group of people who have just arrived there. We won't have to travel too far to chase them," Jian Gui said.

"And then repeat the story just now?" Gu Fei asked.

"Yeah," Jian Gui said.

"I don't want to be a scarecrow anymore..." It was rare for Gu Fei to be depressed.

"This tactic really wouldn't work without you," Jian Gui said. If it weren't for Gu Fei's existence attracting a considerable amount of the opponent's firepower, and if the opponent's mages and archers were only focused on guarding against Jian Gui and throwing attacks around randomly, Jian Gui's CD stream probably wouldn't be so smooth.
