Chapter 25 Welcoming the Onslaught

In the Young Masters Elite group's mercenary channel, Gu Fei, Jian Gui, and Yu Tian Shen Ming were greatly surprised by the swift elimination of the other three. The eliminations happened so quickly and closely together that the three could only repeatedly ask what happened, but by the time they got an answer, the eliminated trio were already outside the arena.

"Depressed! Ambushed!" Zhan Wu Shang said.

"The three of you, do your best!" Han Jia Gong Zi said calmly. According to his plan, Gu Fei had already gained the opponent's deep trust. To further win their favor, he would likely get closer to them during the match. Uh, getting close to Gu Fei... tsk tsk, heaven to hell is that simple.

"How do we fight?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked.

"Same as yesterday. Yu Tian Shen Ming attracts some of the firepower from a distance, Jian Gui sneaks in close, and Qian Li seizes the opportunity to rush in," Han Jia Gong Zi arranged with a gloating tone.

The three followed the same pace that Han Jia Gong Zi had adjusted before. They didn't clash with the Four Seas' ambush squad. At this moment, they had quietly surrounded the three directions of the 20 people who were holding their ground. Yu Tian Shen Ming was behind a small hill, Jian Gui was in a depression, and Gu Fei was closest to them, in a small grove.

"Should I attack?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked the other two.

"Attack!" Jian Gui and Gu Fei responded together.

A sniper shot was fired from behind the hill.

Although the people of the Four Seas Mercenary Group were elites, they couldn't withstand the fact that Yu Tian Shen Ming was an elite among elites. Moreover, Yu Tian Shen Ming mostly knew these guys. He knew who had low health, who had high health, who had high defense, and who had low defense. He picked the one he was most confident in bullying, and fired a sniper shot. His luck exploded, and he got a critical hit, instantly killing him.

This was truly knowing yourself and your enemy.

The people of Four Seas were instantly in an uproar. They also knew that the opponent's archer was Yu Tian Shen Ming. Just like Yu Tian Shen Ming knew their details, they also had a good understanding of Yu Tian Shen Ming's stat distribution and equipment. However, no one knew that Yu Tian Shen Ming had just updated his equipment in the past two days. This arrow killed a person instantly, which made them stunned.

"What's going on?" Dao Ying Nian Hua, who had just eliminated Han Jia Gong Zi and the other three, was returning with the ambush squad to join the main force. He received a system notification that one of their own had been killed and quickly asked.

"Yu Tian Shen Ming killed one with a single sniper shot!" a player replied.

"How is that possible!" Dao Ying Nian Hua was also surprised. After learning that Yu Tian Shen Ming was a member of the Young Masters Elite group, he specifically reviewed this kid's strength. His skills were very good, but his attack power shouldn't have reached such a high level!

While they were still panicking, Yu Tian Shen Ming had already fired several more arrows. Unfortunately, other than the sniper shot, other attacks were not enough to have the high damage to kill instantly. The people of the Four Seas Mercenary Group were not as easily thrown into chaos as Yun Xiang. The priests were fully prepared to heal, the archers shot back, and the thieves stealthily detoured, preparing to sneak attack.

But what kind of combat experience did Yu Tian Shen Ming have? He blinked his two eagle eyes and counted the number of opponents! He suddenly discovered that 19 people had become 17 people. Although he didn't know when the two thieves had disappeared into the crowd, he knew that they were secretly approaching him. He immediately started guerrilla warfare, firing an arrow and changing places, making it difficult for the opponent to sneak up on him. Because it was a contest match, stealth had a time limit. Without delaying for too long, the opponent would automatically reveal their true form.

While Yu Tian Shen Ming attracted most of the opponent's attention, Jian Gui had also quietly sneaked over. Yu Tian Shen Ming's previous attacks had been laying the groundwork for him. While focusing his shots on one person, he nonchalantly shot an arrow at the person next to him, as if he had accidentally missed. The Four Seas' priests' attention was completely focused on the target that Yu Tian Shen Ming was fiercely shooting at, so the fact that his companion had only taken one arrow didn't arouse his vigilance.

At this time, Jian Gui, who had quietly approached, suddenly appeared, his dagger aimed directly at this person!

And Jian Gui's backstab was half a beat slower. He didn't stab out at the first moment everyone exclaimed. This half beat was specially reserved for Yu Tian Shen Ming. When he saw Jian Gui appear, Yu Tian Shen Ming immediately shot another arrow at this person. Jian Gui's half-beat slower backstab was delivered at the right time, and the dagger and arrow ultimately hit this person almost simultaneously. This priest's skills were obviously not as sophisticated as Lao Dao's, who could grasp this subtle time difference. As his healing spell hurriedly landed, the person had already been eliminated by the two.

Jian Gui retreated with one strike. When everyone began to surround him, he had already used Hasty Steps to quickly dart out of the crowd. The archers of the Four Seas Mercenary Group quickly wanted to chase and shoot a few arrows, but the experienced Jian Gui changed direction at this time and circled to the other wing of the opponent's formation. When the archers, who had been targeting Yu Tian Shen Ming, were chasing Jian Gui's change of direction to aim, they instantly discovered that their arrowheads were all aimed at their own people's butts. When they hurriedly adjusted their positions and exposed their openings, they saw Jian Gui running towards the forest, and Gu Fei was rushing out with big strides.

Gu Fei and Jian Gui were a bit surprised by this head-on run.

Gu Fei saw Jian Gui retreat with one strike and immediately rushed out of the forest. He didn't expect that Jian Gui would actually be running in his direction. Jian Gui was currently carrying the gaze of the opponents. This was clearly exposing Gu Fei ahead of time.

And Jian Gui, he also didn't expect that Gu Fei was actually in this forest, because the last movement command that Han Jia Gong Zi issued in the mercenary channel wasn't this location. Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have made this kind of run that would expose Gu Fei.

Of course, Jian Gui wouldn't know that the last movement command Gu Fei received was sent to him privately by Han Jia Gong Zi.

Han Jia Gong Zi was familiar with Jian Gui's combat style. After setting up Jian Gui's position and seeing the enemy formation clearly, Han Jia Gong Zi could foresee the route Jian Gui would choose when retreating with one strike. Therefore, he secretly instructed Gu Fei to come to this route, designing such a scene of running head-on.

According to his layout, if everything had gone as he expected before, then at this time, Dao Ying Nian Hua must have already told everyone that the mage didn't need to be guarded against. Even so, if Gu Fei charged towards them with a murderous aura, anyone would realize that something was not right, right?

Thus, now there was such a head-on scene.

Gu Fei rushed out, but it looked more like he was rushing towards Jian Gui.

In the eyes of the Four Seas Mercenary Group, who had already been preconceived to believe that Gu Fei had been turned, they would definitely think that Gu Fei was helping them take down Jian Gui.

Therefore, those ranged classes such as archers and mages, who had plenty of time to coordinate their attacks on the two, happily stopped their hands, wanting to see this scene of infighting, and incidentally admire whether this parallel world's rising star or the old-brand veteran of online games, Jian Gui, was more fierce.

No attack from the front, no assault from behind.

Gu Fei and Jian Gui were both very surprised, but they didn't have time to think too much at this time. The two continued to run their own ways, and in the blink of an eye, the two had brushed past each other. Gu Fei continued to raise his sword and charge towards the crowd extremely ferociously. Everyone realized that something was wrong.

But at this time, it was probably too late. Han Jia Gong Zi's script wrote like this. Because...

"Instantaneous Movement, Move!" Gu Fei instantly completed the chant. He reappeared in the opponent's formation.

Not to mention that Gu Fei was prepared, even if both sides were suddenly thrown into this sudden collision situation, Gu Fei's reaction as a martial artist would be much faster than theirs.

"Double Flame Slash! Slash!" Gu Fei shouted loudly. This sword was swung with all his strength. There were very few opportunities for him to need to swing the Double Flame Slash 360 degrees. The flames of the Double Flame Slash scattered from the sword, like a fire dragon spiraling around Gu Fei. A total of six people around him died under his sword on the spot.

Following with a move from the Gu Family Swordplay, "Morning Three Evening Four," the dark black sword light was not at all brilliant, but it pointed boldly in all directions. Several people around him were hit by the sword one after another. Although the damage was not very high, it made everyone confused.

In team battles, Gu Fei rarely consciously sought cooperation with others. This was what he lacked compared to masters like Jian Gui and Yu Tian Shen Ming: awareness.

However, Gu Fei's strength had another great effect, which was that he could disrupt the opponent's formation in one fell swoop. His attacks that killed instantly and hit with every strike always cut others to pieces. Moreover, it also had a very serious impact on the opponent's psychology. In online game terms, it caused a stun effect on the opponent's mentality.

This small group of nearly twenty people who had a skilled cooperation was actually disrupted and torn apart by Gu Fei, who had brazenly charged, took off, and teleported into their formation because they had fallen into Han Jia Gong Zi's trap. Having been hit by Gu Fei's sword, coupled with the previous attacks of Yu Tian Shen Ming and Jian Gui, eight people had already died.

The insidious and experienced Yu Tian Shen Ming took advantage of this opportunity and fired another sniper shot, once again eliminating one person. Over there, Jian Gui, after circling around, also rushed over in big strides. The 11 people were attacked from both inside and outside by the three, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Gu Fei chopped and slashed left and right in the formation, constantly shouting "Double Flame Slash, Slash!"

Everyone discovered that as long as Gu Fei's sword arrived, none of them could dodge it. For a time, they were all frightened and didn't dare to step forward to parry. It was said that at this time, the cooldown of Double Flame Slash had not passed, and the spell chants were all failing. However, Gu Fei had magic accessories on his body. Although the probability was not high, it would flash occasionally under Gu Fei's high-tempo attacks.

This magic flame was very similar to Double Flame Slash. Everyone couldn't distinguish it for a while and only thought that Gu Fei's Double Flame Slash that killed six people in one second appeared frequently, and they all avoided it.

The three great masters seized the opportunity, sought victory in chaos, and in a short while, the lineup of 20 people was only left with 2 thieves. These 2 thieves also had extremely outstanding speed and used Hasty Steps to run away. The three of them were unable to catch up.

Yu Tian Shen Ming ran over from a distance and joined the two. This battle was fought happily, but they faintly felt that it seemed a bit too simple. The Four Seas Mercenary Group should be a well-trained and closely cooperated group. How could they be so easily dispersed?

The three of them didn't know that all of this was just a performance in Han Jia Gong Zi's script.
