Chapter 19 The Rampage of the Slender Waist Dance

The formidable Slender Waist Dance finally unleashed her full power. From a close-combat perspective, she was actually more effective than Gu Fei. Gu Fei's ultimate move, Twin Flames Flash, was limited to four uses due to mana constraints. Although the physical damage of the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword was terrifying, Gu Fei couldn't fully utilize it due to the sword's coefficient, which made it less fearsome.

Therefore, Gu Fei was a player with astonishing burst damage, but his efficiency would drastically decrease after his initial flurry of attacks.

The Slender Waist Dance was different. Her regular attacks often instantly killed squishy classes. Gu Fei strongly suspected that the dagger in her hand was many levels above, possessing a high dagger coefficient, and it had to be top-grade. Look at that radiance, so dazzling that even the hand holding the dagger was invisible, far more arrogant than the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword.

Gu Fei ate a banana while watching the Slender Waist Dance perform. Since Swift Travel had been used to stab Han Family Young Master earlier and was still on cooldown, the Slender Waist Dance's signature style couldn't be used. But even with her normal running speed, it was enough to make others break out in a cold sweat.

No one could keep up with her speed. Many people had just seen her in front of them, turning to follow her pace, only to find that she had already drifted behind them before they could even complete half a turn.

This wasn't just a matter of game points and equipment; it mainly depended on individual reaction speed. Guys with slow reactions wouldn't be able to keep up with the fast-paced people in this rapidly changing situation, even if they had the best equipment.

The Slender Waist Dance weaved forward in a "Z" shape, instantly taking down three people. Gu Fei had almost finished his banana and was waiting for his mana to recover.

The members of Against the Flow saw that this woman was extremely powerful and immediately showed their spineless side, rushing towards the pile of top-grade equipment on the ground.

The previous multiple-choice question was whether to pick up items and then kill people or kill people and then pick up items.

Now, the question had become whether to pick up items and be killed or be killed and not get any items.

The answer immediately became clear. Everyone chose option A, rushing to pick up the items, making the trip worthwhile even if they were killed. The system said that the equipment rewards were randomly given, but now the rewards were nakedly displayed before everyone's eyes. A Chinese Odyssey had taught them that they would definitely regret missing such an opportunity. So, everyone was throwing themselves forward, willing to take three stabs from the Slender Waist Dance just to get the equipment into their bags.

The Slender Waist Dance panicked at this sight. She had been forced to drop the items; she hadn't thrown them away like trash. Of course, it was best if they weren't picked up by others, but these guys were actually ignoring the fight and running to pick up items; it was too shameless.

"Let me see who dares to pick them up!" she shouted.

"Hurry, pick them up, pick them up!" Everyone urged each other. Some who hadn't reacted were reminded by her, abandoning their last bit of concern for life and death to grab some foreign exchange.

The Slender Waist Dance wanted to cry but had no tears. No matter how fast she was, she couldn't save all the equipment!

Just as she was thinking of saving one if she could, she suddenly heard someone shout from behind, "Woman, get out of the way!"

"Huh?" She looked back and suddenly felt a heat at her feet.

"Damn it!" With her abundant fighting experience, she rapidly drifted to the side. Flames instantly erupted from the ground: Fiery Tree Thousandfold Flames.

"Can't you shout louder when you're chanting?" she roared at Gu Fei. If she hadn't been fast enough, she would have been burned by this fire. She knew how terrifying Gu Fei's spell damage was, and she wasn't sure if she could withstand it.

"Who am I supposed to shout to?" Gu Fei muttered.

Those who had tried to pick up the equipment had been burned to ashes, leaving her items perfectly intact on the ground, which made her feel a lot better.

"Go kill that guy!" Gu Fei pointed at Han Family Young Master, who was standing far away.

As a priest, he should have been a solid support, assisting the team in battle. But Han Family Young Master had long seen that these two were abnormal one-hit-kill types. They basically died in one move. What use was a priest? So, he had been standing far away, observing.

"Wait, let me pick up my stuff first. What's the rush?" The Slender Waist Dance didn't go to attack Han Family Young Master. Instead, she busily began collecting the items she had just dropped all over the ground.

"Hey, you're the richest person in this world. What's the rush for these things? Just buy them again!" Gu Fei shouted.

She gave him a sidelong glance. "Just because I'm rich doesn't mean I'm stupid. Why would I throw away money for fun?"

"If you're not stupid, why did you throw them away?"

"You told me to..."

*I told you to throw them away, and you threw them away. And you say you're not stupid…* Gu Fei thought to himself, seeing that she had also chosen to prioritize picking up items, he had no choice but to rush towards Han Family Young Master himself.

Han Family Young Master was already running away. The reason Gu Fei wanted her to chase him wasn't because he was holding back against someone he knew, but because he knew that he couldn't do anything to him even if he caught up.

Gu Fei hadn't fully recovered his mana from eating the fruit earlier, and to help her salvage the items, he had used Fiery Tree Thousandfold Flames, which not only used up his mana again but also interrupted the fruit's effect. Now, if he caught up to Han Family Young Master, he could only use the simplest physical attacks, which wouldn't be able to kill him instantly. In front of a skilled priest like Han Family Young Master, not being able to kill him instantly meant that no one could defeat him.

Sure enough, Gu Fei didn't have much trouble catching up to Han Family Young Master. But when he stabbed out with his sword, Han Family Young Master cast a healing spell, smiling and saying, "You can't kill me like this."

"We'll just wear each other down, then. Let's see how much mana you have," Gu Fei said, smiling as he stabbed again.

"I have a lot of mana," Han Family Young Master said, casting another healing spell.

"You'll always run out eventually!" Gu Fei said.

"By that time, our reinforcements will have arrived," Han Family Young Master said.

"Then I'll have to hurry," Gu Fei said.

The two chatted while fighting. When the Slender Waist Dance, having collected her items, rushed over, she was stunned by the scene.

"Oh, it looks like my reinforcements arrived first!" Gu Fei said smugly.

"Beauty, watch out for your feet!" Han Family Young Master didn't seem nervous at all.

"Ah?" She was still in a daze.

"What are you spacing out for? Come and kill him!" Gu Fei shouted.

"You two know each other!" She said. Han Family Young Master was the type that people wouldn't forget after meeting him. She clearly remembered seeing him at Little Lei Tavern, and he was in the same mercenary group as Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was exasperated. "It's a competition, miss! Hurry up!"

"You're ruthless enough!" she said admiringly, quickly approaching.

Seeing that she was about to get close, suddenly a whirlwind rose from the ground, whistling and spinning towards her. The Slender Waist Dance, always fierce, changed her expression when she saw this whirlwind and quickly dodged backward. The whirlwind seemed to have eyes and chased after her. Although its speed couldn't catch up to her, she couldn't get around it to reach Han Family Young Master.

Gu Fei was dumbfounded. Han Family Young Master smiled and explained, "What? Haven't you seen it before? A level 40 skill for water mages, Ice Whirlwind. It's the nemesis of people who rely on speed to fight. The damage from being hit is negligible, but the slowing effect will weaken her advantage."

As he spoke, he glanced in a certain direction. Gu Fei looked in the direction he was looking and saw a blue-robed mage waving a water-blue staff from side to side, like a cheerleader.

"Upstream Swimmer," Han Family Young Master introduced. "Our guild leader, ranked 9th on the mage level leaderboard, a level 40 water mage."

"Your guild leader!" Gu Fei muttered, immediately abandoning Han Family Young Master and rushing towards Upstream Swimmer. Catching the bandit leader first! Even if it didn't have the effect of capturing the leader, it would boost morale. And even if it didn't boost morale, it would be good to use for bragging. At least he could say, "Taking the enemy's guild leader's head from among 700 people was as easy as reaching into a bag."

Moreover, if his attack was aimed at Upstream Swimmer, he naturally wouldn't have the energy to entangle the Slender Waist Dance, allowing her to take care of Han Family Young Master. It was killing two birds with one stone.

As Gu Fei thought this, he quickly rushed forward. Upstream Swimmer, seeing Gu Fei's speed, didn't dare to underestimate him at all, waving his staff and shouting a chant.

Gu Fei felt a heat at his feet, knowing that the other party was summoning Fiery Tree Thousandfold Flames. It took time for a spell to fully activate after chanting. Gu Fei's spells were slow because of this.

Just as he was about to rush through the range of the Fiery Tree Thousandfold Flames, he suddenly saw Upstream Swimmer still chanting and waving his staff. Gu Fei's mind flickered. He abruptly stopped his forward momentum and turned around to retreat.

With a "boom," he retreated just as Fiery Tree Thousandfold Flames erupted in front of him. At the same time, a Heavenly Fire Wheel crashed down directly in front of the flames.

"That was close!" Gu Fei thought. Thankfully, the spell chant had to be spoken aloud, allowing him to suddenly realize what was happening. Otherwise, if he had continued forward, he might have been able to dodge the Fiery Tree Thousandfold Flames, but he would have been hit by the Heavenly Fire Wheel summoned in front of it.

This guy had calculated Gu Fei's movement speed and used two spells to complete this setup. Fortunately, Gu Fei's reaction was fast enough.

"Impressive, he didn't get hit by that," Han Family Young Master said, applauding from behind.

However, the Slender Waist Dance, unhindered by the Ice Whirlwind, had already gotten close to him and was about to stab him with her dagger.

"You two are always so close to me. It's very dangerous," Han Family Young Master said with a smile.

The two were startled, and then they felt the ground heat up and the sky flash with light. Countless mages were chanting, and Heavenly Fire Wheels and Fiery Tree Thousandfold Flames formed an overwhelming spell formation, the sole purpose of which was to deal with the two of them.

"No matter how fast you two are, you can't dodge this, right?" Han Family Young Master smiled. "My tactics allow me to sacrifice even myself when necessary."

Gu Fei had no way to retreat now, helplessly looking at the Slender Waist Dance. "Hey, you're the richest person. Do you have any magic treasures, like a Moonlight Treasure Box or something?"
