Chapter 752: Strange Warrior
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The moment Long Chengfei spoke, a player stood up from behind him.
This player was about 35 years old. He spotted a crew cut hairstyle was seemingly well built. His herculean physique was the real deal and not a product of in-game special effects.
With his imposing figure, he would be able to insta-kill any small fry.
“Come at me!” This middle-aged man was straightforward and did not indulge in any idle talk. He was ready to swap pointers with w.a.n.g Yu.
w.a.n.g Yu stood up and cupped his fist in a customary greeting, “Iron Bull, please give me some pointers.”
“Drunken Battlefield!” the middle-aged man introduced himself as he flashed out his weapon.
Upon seeing his weapon, w.a.n.g Yu was astonished…
This was a two-feet-long, one-handed sword. However, in actual fact, it did not exactly resemble a sword or an a.s.sa.s.sin’s blade. The body of the sword was three-sided with grooves on each side. These grooves were specially designed to draw blood. If one got hit by the weapon, the bleeding effect would be terrifying.
While w.a.n.g Yu was shocked, the Drunken Battlefield disappeared in thin air.
w.a.n.g Yu came to the realisation that this fellow was not a Warrior, but an a.s.sa.s.sin…
Before w.a.n.g Yu recovered from his initial shock, Drunken Battlefield pounced forward without missing a beat. He leapt towards w.a.n.g Yu side and stabbed his blade towards w.a.n.g Yu’s neck.
The fight displayed his prowess as an ex-soldier. He was definitely more proficient compared to normal players when executing [Backstab]. Normal players would usually aim for the waist or the back.
Instead, Drunken Battlefield immediately went for w.a.n.g Yu’s neck… This was a fatal point for humans. Though this fight was in-game where characters had different attributes, even if Drunken Battlefield did not insta-kill his opponent, the blade in his hands was absolutely intimidating.
“Hey, do you have only this sort of ability?” Drunken Battlefield mocked w.a.n.g Yu with a cold chuckle.
At the next moment, w.a.n.g Yu took a step backwards and Drunken Battlefield’s weapon barely sc.r.a.ped past w.a.n.g Yu’s chest…
Drunken Battlefield missed his target and w.a.n.g Yu counterattacked immediately, lodging his hands on the back of Drunken Battlefield.
Drunken Battlefield was disorientated when his attack missed w.a.n.g Yu. w.a.n.g Yu pressed hard on Drunken Battlefield and Drunken Battlefield could not hold onto his weapon from the resulting impact. Drunken Battlefield was an experienced fighter and he did not panic. Just as w.a.n.g Yu was about to surge towards him, Drunken Battlefield rapidly used his left arm to support his body and lashed out at w.a.n.g Yu’s throat with a vicious kick.
w.a.n.g Yu lightly smiled. His left hand reached out to grab Drunken Battlefield’s right ankle. He thrust his right hand forward but stopped halfway and exclaimed, “You have lost!”.
“I haven’t been killed yet!” Drunken Battlefield replied as he tried to struggle out of w.a.n.g Yu’s vice-like grip. He realised that w.a.n.g Yu’s hand was as st.u.r.dy as Iron claws and he was completely immobilised.
Pugilists level of judgement was higher than that of a.s.sa.s.sins. This was even more so when facing an opponent on the level of w.a.n.g Yu.
Long Chengfei kindly said, “That’s enough, Little Three. You have really lost this time!”
“I can still fight!” Drunken Battlefield was after all a senior and losing to a junior did not reflect well on him.
“Turn around and take a look!” Long Chengfei pointed at w.a.n.g Yu’s incoming right fist and let out a long sigh.
As Drunken Battlefield looked back, he saw that w.a.n.g Yu’s fist had stopped at the region just before his crotch…
Upon seeing this scene, Drunken Battlefield was disconcerted. If not for w.a.n.g Yu showing mercy…
“I have lost…” Drunken Battlefield was a man that was willing to admit defeat when he truly lost.
w.a.n.g Yu moved his hands away from Drunken Battlefield. He cupped his hands in respect and replied, “You let me win this time.”
Drunken Battlefield stood up begrudgingly and retorted, “Less nonsense from you, a loss is a loss. You clearly have true ability and won me fair and square.” Drunken Battlefield was a straightforward man and took full responsibility for his loss.
w.a.n.g Yu smiled awkwardly and asked Long Chengfei, “Who’s next?”
“Wait a moment.” Long Chengfei gestured towards w.a.n.g Yu and replied.
“This kid is indeed fierce. Do you want me to call Old Tong over?” Long Chengfei turned behind to seek advice from his group.
Long Chengfei did not take w.a.n.g Yu seriously at first and had decided to send out Drunken Battlefield to gauge his opponent’s standard.
Who would have expected things to reach such a point! Even Drunken Battlefield was soundly beaten by w.a.n.g Yu… It was their good fortune that w.a.n.g Yu was not here to cause any trouble or else Drunken Battlefield would have been injured that much more grievously.
Long Chengfei and Drunken Battlefield were long-time comrades. They were intimately familiar with how each other’s battle styles. Ultimately, he knew Drunken Battlefield’s combat strength. In the situation where even Drunken Battlefield could not hold back the enemy, there was little hope for the others.
At this point, someone from the group with a young disposition spoke out, “Calling for Old Tong? There is no need for him. Seeing that that man is representing Peak of Perfection, he is bound to have anti-stealth system tool. Third bro is going to be at a disadvantage… Why not let me try first? It will not be too late to call for Old Tong then.”
“Little Five has a point right there!” Drunken Battlefield nodded in agreement and said, “There is no way he could have avoided my attack. He definitely used some sort of system tool.”
Peak of Perfection was famed for its system tool production and Little Five’s viewpoint was indeed valid.
Long Chengfei caressed his chin and said, “Alright, Little Five, don’t embarra.s.s yourself.”
“I’ve got it.” Little Five nodded and headed in the direction of w.a.n.g Yu. He proposed his challenge and said, “This fight would be against me.”
“Iron Bull! Please advise!” w.a.n.g Yu replied in a neutral manner not ceding any advantage to the other side.
“Frost Hook!” Little Five rushed towards w.a.n.g Yu and drew out his blade.
w.a.n.g Yu was here as a mediator so he was naturally going to let his opponent make the first move. He moved his left arm to protect his abdomen while reaching out with his right hand. This was his defensive stance.
It turned out that Frost Hook was not an ordinary type of Warrior. He did not immediately rush to frontally a.s.sault his opponents, but instead turn around and ran.
w.a.n.g Yu was in confusion. Previously was an a.s.sa.s.sin and this opponent now was an Archer?
Frost Hook took advantage of w.a.n.g Yu’s momentary confusion to create some distance between them. As soon as they were five metres apart, he flashed his sword and the sword flew towards w.a.n.g Yu.
w.a.n.g Yu saw the attack and waved his right hand to intercept the oncoming blade. The sword dropped harmlessly to the ground. Frost Hook continued his onslaught and released another three blades that surged towards w.a.n.g Yu.
w.a.n.g Yu kicked out at the nearest blade in front of him. At the same time, he reached forward with both hands and executed [Diffraction Trace]. The two oncoming blades were intercepted and he rushed towards Frost Hook with only his fists.
Frost Hook saw that w.a.n.g Yu was about to reach him and quickly released another blade. Frost Hook was barely able to dodge w.a.n.g Yu’s advancing fists.
As he landed, Frost Hook turned his wrist and thrust the blade in his hands into the ground.
