“We can’t hide! It will be disadvantageous for us if we were to hide now!” Captain Don’t Open Fire said.
Since Captain Don’t Open Fire had initially sent people to ambush the people from Quan Zhen Sect, he knew full well how terrifying an ambush can be.
The best countermeasure to an ambush would be to gather everyone and organise a counterattack on the enemy. If they tried to hide instead, the people getting blocked in the resurrection point would no longer be from Quan Zhen Sect.
More importantly, at this very moment, Big Bear Deng Deng An was currently promoting on the forums. Players from Twilight City were waiting to see the showdown with Quan Zhen Sect. If they were to hide now, wouldn’t that be equivalent to slapping themselves in the face?
“Everyone, gather at the resurrection point! After that, we shall go and chase them down!” Captain Don’t Open
Fire decisively gave the order in the guild chat after pondering over the situation.
The moment Captain Don’t Open Fire gave the order, a large group of people rushed out of the resurrection point. They were all Void Blade’s players.
“D*mn! That quickly?” Upon seeing his own guild gather so many players within such a short period of time, Captain Don’t Open Fire was shocked. Normally, these b*stards all took their own time to gather, why was the efficiency so high today?
Seeing his own guild’s players being so efficient, Captain Don’t Open Fire smugly said to Sanguine Rain, “Ke ke, Void Blade’s efficiency is definitely better than Sanguine Alliance, right?”
Sanguine Rain expressionlessly replied, “En, the efficiency is pretty high. If it were Sanguine Alliance, there would not have been so many players falling victim to the ambushes.”
“This…” Captain Don’t Open Fire was stunned. He was too obsessed over flaunting his guild that he momentarily forgot the reason why his own players appeared in the resurrection point so quickly…
However, what Sanguine Rain said was true. Sanguine Alliance was an old-school guild. They were picky when recruiting new members. The reputation of Void Blade was far from that of Sanguine Alliance; thus, they were subjected to the players’ picking instead. After all, as rich as Captain Don’t Open Fire was, even he could not arm and equip any random ordinary player around.
At the same time, Captain Don’t Open Fire was shocked by the efficiency of Quan Zhen Sect’s killings.
Even the lowest levelled players from Void Blade were above 30. Even if they were to stand still on the spot, it would take some time for another player to kill them.
Furthermore, there weren’t even over eight players from Quan Zhen Sect left that were capable of fighting. To be able to kill so many people in such a short period of time was truly terrifying. After all, the players from Void Blade were scattered all around. The task of finding them alone would take a long time.
“D*mn it. Does Quan Zhen Sect have some way of finding our players?” Captain Don’t Open Fire mumbled to himself after pondering over the current situation.
Upon seeing their guildmates getting killed, the players from Void Blade all felt a sense of danger. After receiving Captain’s orders, they immediately retreated. As most of the roads were cut off by Quan Zhen Sect’s players, in the midst of their retreat, many of Void Blade’s players were killed. A while later, over 2000 players from Void Blade were gathered at the resurrection point.
“Fearless old dog, they are gathering and about to go and capture you,” Ming Du frantically reported back to Fearless, after seeing the scene in front of him.
“Haha, I knew they would do that.” Fearless smiled and subsequently gave the order: “Boson, Little Crotchy, you guys can rest up now, the rest will head over to the store and hide. Disturb them from behind their backs.”
“Got it!”
When w.a.n.g Yu, Spring Halo and the rest received the order, they immediately went to hide in the shop.
The shop was considered a safe zone and was a gathering place for many players. It was extremely easy for players to hide themselves and was the perfect place to set up an ambush.
Based on the information received from the players that were killed in Void Blade, Captain Don’t Open Fire was able to reach the conclusion that Quan Zhen Sect’s players were all hiding within the city. Thus, he split the 2000 players into eight teams and subsequently sent them to pursue the Quan Zhen Sect’s players.
Captain Don’t Open Fire did not believe that Quan Zhen Sect’s players were able to individually deal with a hundred players at once.
w.a.n.g Yu was skillful and daring; his distance from the resurrection point was the closest. He was hiding in the Blacksmith, acting like he was forging.
Soon, the first wave of players from Void Blade strutted in from the Blacksmith’s entrance.
w.a.n.g Yu snuck a glance and saw the players from Void Blade pa.s.sing by. Upon seeing this, he secretly followed behind.
“Hey, brother, I have never seen you before, are you a newcomer?
Just when the team reached a bend on the street with w.a.n.g Yu following behind, a player from Void Blade noticed him and casually asked him.
w.a.n.g Yu replied, “No… I’ve been playing this game for a few months already.”
“Is that so? I have never seen you before, what’s your name?” the person replied upon hearing w.a.n.g Yu’s response.
“Iron Bull!” w.a.n.g Yu flashed a smile, promptly raising his hand and grabbing hold of the man’s neck, before promptly activating [Neck Twist].
The back few players were definitely long-ranged players with low health.
“Kacha!” After the sound came out, the player turned into white light.
“Not good. Iron Bull is behind the team!” After hearing w.a.n.g Yu saying his own ID, a player from Void Blade instinctively reacted and shouted in the guild chat.
The players from Void Blade, upon seeing the news, hurriedly turned their heads back, only to see a bulky Pugilist wielding a long pole exterminating three backline archers with the use of an ability.
“Magicians, hurry up and blast him!” The captain of the team from Void Blade, Smooth Talker, hurriedly ordered after seeing the continuous appearance of white lights from the back of his team.
Since the tanks were currently at the front of the formation, it was too late to change the formation. Thus, the only way was to let the magician attack the a.s.sailant.
However, Magicians had to chant the skills’ incantations before attacking. When they finally finished, w.a.n.g Yu had already killed open a b.l.o.o.d.y path and was gone without a trace, leaving behind a bunch of stunned Void Blade players.
“What the h.e.l.l is going on?” Smooth Talker was utterly dumbfounded. The time between the moment w.a.n.g Yu appeared and disappeared was just slightly more than 10 seconds. Before Smooth Talker could even get a good look at how w.a.n.g Yu looked like, he had already disappeared, not forgetting the fact that he took out more than 10 players as well. This was almost like a bad dream.
“Boss, we were ambushed again. We lost more than 10 of our fellow brothers…” Smooth Talker immediately reported back to Captain Don’t Open Fire after the ambush.
“…” Captain Don’t Open Fire wiped off the cold sweat on his face and asked, “What happened to the enemy?”
“One of them ran away!” Smooth Talker reported.
“Oh… So the rest were all killed?” Captain Don’t Open Fire heaved a sigh of relief.
“There was only one Pugilist…”
“F**k!”
Captain Don’t Open Fire was furious and started to hurl vulgarities. However, after pondering over the matter for a while, Captain Don’t Open Fire was sure that the Pugilist was w.a.n.g Yu, seeing that Quan Zhen Sect only had two Pugilist, and the smaller one was currently stuck in the resurrection point.
Captain Don’t Open Fire personally witnessed w.a.n.g Yu escaping from the pursuit of a few hundred members of the Sanguine Alliance on his own and knew that w.a.n.g Yu’s ability to escape was extraordinary. Thinking up to this point, Captain Don’t Open Fire did not scold his subordinates.
“In the entire Quan Zhen Sect, only the Pugilist is slightly better than the rest. The rest are not considered a threat. Just be more careful next time,” Captain Don’t Open Fire said.
At this very moment, Captain Don’t Open Fire received yet another news, saying: “Boss, we were ambushed…”
“Was the culprit also a Pugilist?” Captain Don’t Open Fire asked shakily.
“No, it was a Shaman…”
“A Shaman? Just him alone?” Captain Don’t Open Fire asked.
“I don’t know how many players there were, but it should be only one who attacked us.”
“What do you mean by it should be only one?”
The player on the other end said in a sobbing tone, “We weren’t even able to see the figure of the person that attacked us… we only saw the skill.”
