Chapter 1362: Surrounded
Southern Heaven Mighty G.o.d was quite deferential to Scarless’s order and once again executed [Stealth], sneaking behind w.a.n.g Yu.
w.a.n.g Yu’s figure fleeted to one side. His right hand stretched back and grasped the wrist of Southern Heaven Mighty G.o.d. With a slight fling, Southern Heaven Mighty G.o.d flew into the distance.
At this instant, w.a.n.g Yu s.h.i.+fted his figure mid-air. However, Scarless appeared out of her [Stealth] and attempted a similar sneak attack on w.a.n.g Yu.
[Double Sundering Strike]!
This was an a.s.sa.s.sin’s coordination skill.
The intent was to allow one player to make a fake attack while concealing the true attack until the very last moment.
This was a cla.s.sic reason why it was so difficult for one person to have an advantage over a group of players.
As w.a.n.g Yu threw Southern Heaven Mighty G.o.d in the distance, his figure wavered momentarily. The next thing he knew, Scarless’s dagger already connected to its target.
“Boom!”
Scarless’s dagger was firmly lodged in w.a.n.g Yu’s head.
“Haha!” Scarless proudly declared, “No matter how high your martial arts ability, it is still… Huh?”
Before she could even finish, the smile on her face froze in place. She saw the figure of w.a.n.g Yu smashed into fragments.
“This is not good. That’s a clone!”
Scarless was taken aback as she quickly rushed to the side to evade. Alas, it was too late and she only felt a cold s.h.i.+ver down her back. A big head grabbed her from the back of her head and slammed forward.
“Aiya!!!”
Scarless let out a tragic cry and sprawled on the ground. Under the forceful throw, Scarless laid at the entrance of the bar pathetically.
“Hua la la la!”
Broken tables and benches were strewn all over the ground…
It was common knowledge that the system swiped players out of their hard-earned gold. In such situations when players caused damage to property in-game, they had to pay compensation. This behavior was carried on to real life so these players were extremely careful with public property. Soaring Dragon Game Studios was thus seen as a force for good that promoted good societal values.
The boss of the bar came over in a jiffy beside Scarless, he glanced at a broken leg bench that poked out of Scarless’s bottoms and said, “Hey, respected a.s.sa.s.sin, since you are still alive, would you kindly compensate me… The total is…”
The boss of the bar did not even let Scarless off in her tragic state. He truly did his job with great detail and attention.
…
As Scarless was held down by the boss of the bar, she could not move at all. w.a.n.g Yu strolled towards her unhurriedly with the intention to capture her alive.
At this moment, the other a.s.sa.s.sins saw that Scarless was in critical danger and got back on their feet to surround w.a.n.g Yu. This was in an attempt to buy a few extra seconds for Scarless to escape.
None of these guys was a match for w.a.n.g Yu. Since they had no control skills, this type of encirclement proved to be of no effect against him.
The formation of the a.s.sa.s.sins was swiftly broken by w.a.n.g Yu and he did not even miss a single beat as he appeared before Scarless.
Upon seeing that Scarless was going to be captured, Southern Heaven Mighty G.o.d looked towards the boss as though he thought of an escape plan.
Reaching to grab a nearby bench, he threw it towards w.a.n.g Yu.
Without needing a glance, w.a.n.g Yu waved his hand and the bench was smashed into smithereens.
“Yeah!”
Southern Heaven Mighty G.o.d saw that w.a.n.g Yu had fallen into his own trap and excitedly clenched his fists. However, the boss appeared before Southern Heaven Mighty G.o.d and declared, “Small business, please stop fighting!”
“Why!!”
Southern Heaven Mighty G.o.d raised his head to look at his debtor and almost cried in exasperation.
F*ck, when others threw the bench, he was liable to pay for the damages. When he threw the bench himself, he was also liable to pay… What was this bullying?
In the face of Southern Heaven Mighty G.o.d’s doubts, the boss of the bar attempted to justify his actions, “He is our Twilight City’s City Lord after all!”
“F*ck…”
With a teary face, Southern Heaven Mighty G.o.d reluctantly took out his wallet…
Although Southern Heaven Mighty G.o.d needed to pay compensation, his original plan was not completely ineffective. At the very least, the instantaneous movement of the tavern boss brought Scarless crucial seconds to scamper away from w.a.n.g Yu.
At this moment, the players from a.s.sa.s.sin Monarch finally realised that they had encountered a tough nut. They were already disadvantaged from their weaker skills and was in an environment which was favourable to their opponent…
Scarless was decisive and immediately ordered, “Quickly make a retreat!”
The players from a.s.sa.s.sin Monarch immediately reacted to her order and went into [Stealth]. The whole lot of them rushed towards the exit.
…
Although w.a.n.g Yu’s murderous intent was truly overwhelming, it was on the premise that he was the target of his opponents… Since these players were only concerned about running away, w.a.n.g Yu also lost track of them.
There was no way around this, even the strongest master would be restricted by the system settings. After all, the developers were the true G.o.ds.
Seeing that all his opponents had escaped, w.a.n.g Yu looked upon them regretfully. If he was not greedy and wanted to capture the whole lot of them, the situation would not have turned out like that…
Sigh, it was a moment of carelessness.
“Don’t let a single one of them run!”
Just as w.a.n.g Yu was momentarily depressed, a familiar voice reverberated from outside the boss.
w.a.n.g Yu looked out and saw the whole street filled with players from Sanguine Alliance… They were led by Fearless who was equipped with a lilac eye floating in the air.
This visual equipment was only seven hundred gold coins and it was not a significant amount to the Quan Zhen Sect.
Under the glow of True Eye, the players from a.s.sa.s.sin Monarch were exposed from their positions. They were cornered by a row of s.h.i.+elds from all sides.
Seeing that w.a.n.g Yu had so many reinforcements, the players from a.s.sa.s.sin Monarch were confused.
F*ck, wasn’t it the case that the Quan Zhen Sect had less than twenty players? There were at least two hundred of them here!”
On closer inspection, Scarless realised that the players who blocked their way wore a different guild emblem than the Quan Zhen Sect. She looked at them coldly, “Who are you guys? We do not have previous grievances between us. Must you interfere with the matters between my a.s.sa.s.sin Monarch and Quan Zhen Sect?”
a.s.sa.s.sin Monarch was truly a notorious bunch. Scarless’s words sounded like a threat and it was to warn these players before them not to be nosy.
However, within Twilight City, the Sanguine Alliance was not afraid of provoking anyone other than the Quan Zhen Sect.
“Hehe!” Upon hearing Scarless’s threats, a Knight who was carrying a long rod stood up and declared, “We are from the Sanguine Alliance!”
