Chapter 338 Mobilization! Shadowed Thicket Guards

Chapter 249

He had swept away half the formation all by himself. Shui Shen, watching from the street, was practically vomiting blood. He could only watch helplessly as Gu Fei nonchalantly walked on the rooftops, pushing, kicking, tripping, or bumping the mages around him, using every trick in the book to send them tumbling down. Shui Shen's greatest wish at that moment was to have a small cannon in his hand, so he could just level that row of houses and be done with it, out of sight, out of mind.

But the reality was cruel. Not only did Shui Shen not have a cannon, but he also had to shout instructions to the mages, telling them how to deal with the situation. As a result, his usually confident commands sounded like a bad joke in the face of Gu Fei's freakish skills. Seeing the helpless and pleading looks in the eyes of his brothers, Shui Shen's heart broke.

"Everyone, get down! Get down yourselves!" Shui Shen secretly ordered, while also giving instructions to the mages on the opposite street: "Once our people are clear, burn their rooftops to the ground!!!"

The mages, relieved to be released, turned around and jumped down to the street. Gu Fei stood on the rooftop, waving to everyone in the manner of a victor, which provoked the anger of everyone present.

"Skyfall Fire Wheel! Descend!!"

"Fire Tree Thousandfold Flames! Rise!!"

On the street and below, all the mages of Lin Yin City chanted loudly in unison, with a volume exceeding 70 decibels. Their magic was truly impressive. But Gu Fei simply waved at them and said softly, "Instantaneous Movement, move!"

No matter how fast a spell was, it couldn't be faster than Instantaneous Movement. The rooftop was indeed burned into a sea of fire as Shui Shen had wished, but Gu Fei had already returned to the ground.

"Right on time!" Gu Fei said to Mang Mang the Hooligan.

Mang Mang the Hooligan raised his eyebrows. "You're lucky, you happened to appear right next to me."

"It's this side's turn!" Gu Fei strode towards the other side of the street. The rooftops there were the main battlefield for Wind Seeker. Perhaps he had more sustained killing power than Gu Fei, but unfortunately, the gap in skill was too great. He had taken them by surprise at first and was impressive for a while. But he was quickly surrounded and roasted by the mages. Unsworn Sword had assigned him two dedicated priests, but in the end, four were barely enough to hold on. If most of the mages hadn't concentrated their fire on Gu Fei on the opposite side, he probably wouldn't have been able to last.

Gu Fei had just used Instantaneous Movement, so he couldn't use it again for the time being. He also didn't have the explosive leg strength of Flying Swallow Slash, so he had to rely on someone else to get onto the roof. He quickly jogged over to Zhan Wu Shang, shouting, "Lend me a hand!"

They had done this before during the tree-climbing contest, so Zhan Wu Shang was no stranger to it. He crouched down, crossing his hands in front of him. Gu Fei rushed over and stepped directly onto his hands. Zhan Wu Shang stood up and lifted his arms, sending Gu Fei flying upward.

But climbing onto a roof was different from climbing a tree. The branches of a tree were easy to grab, but the roof didn't have such convenient handholds. Moreover, there were enemies on the roof, and if he was slow, they would just poke him with a staff and he would fall. So Gu Fei decided to borrow another boost to get even higher. He inhumanely bent his leg and stepped on Zhan Wu Shang's shoulder, finally stepping onto the roof as if climbing stairs.

"I'm here!" Gu Fei shouted. The situation was urgent, and Gu Fei didn't want to show off his skills. He hoped that the mages would be smart enough to jump down themselves when they saw him, which would save a lot of trouble.

But obviously, the opponents weren't going to retreat so easily. They waved their staffs and circled around Gu Fei again. This time, no one used small fireballs. Instead, they all used Ice Cyclones, rushing towards Gu Fei, not even caring if they swept up their own people. They knew that if they could get rid of Gu Fei, they could hold their ground on the roof.

Gu Fei saw that this row of Ice Cyclones simply blocked the entire roof. He turned around and saw another row behind him. He had instantly been trapped. The only way out was to jump back down to the street. Just as he was about to do so, a Skyfall Fire Wheel descended from the sky, accurately hitting the row of Ice Cyclones in front of Gu Fei. After the calculations, they canceled each other out, leaving a large gap in the middle.

Gu Fei dashed through the gap. He looked down and saw Drifting was saluting him. To be able to cancel out Ice Cyclones, which moved at a considerable speed, with a Skyfall Fire Wheel, Drifting's mage skills were precise to an incurable degree.

The other mages lost their sense of security when he got close. Gu Fei, on the other hand, became invigorated. Learning from his earlier experience of being ambushed, Gu Fei didn't methodically advance layer by layer. He pushed someone here, kicked someone there, and plunged into the crowd, weaving in and out at will. Not to mention Ice Cyclones, even the rare lightning mages couldn't lock onto him to hit him with lightning.

The speed of Lightning was certainly fast, but it was also because it was so fast that the system didn't provide any target-locking assistance for this spell. When attacking a fixed target, this spell was almost guaranteed to hit. But when the target was moving, the requirements for the player were very high. Even the slightest tremor could cause the lightning to miss. Gu Fei was constantly moving in the crowd, almost disappearing and reappearing at will. The lightning mages cast two lightning spells, but neither hit.

The mages' attacks were held back by Gu Fei. As a result, mages reappeared on the rooftops opposite. These guys were like ghosts; as soon as Gu Fei left, they climbed back up.

Gu Fei only knew Instantaneous Movement, not Doppelganger. After dealing with this side, the other side would always reappear. He didn't have any spells at the moment, only punches, kicks, and weapon attacks. It was easy to get people off the roof, but killing them one by one would take forever.

Everyone realized that the situation was still very unfavorable for Cloud Piercer City. Gu Fei could only be said to be harassing them; he couldn't completely eliminate their attack.

The only way to solve this problem was for Mang Mang the Hooligan to convert magic power to Gu Fei during the battle, allowing him to maintain sustained killing power. The thought made the members of Young Master's elite group shudder. If he really did that, how much PK value would Gu Fei accumulate? Could his PK value reach three digits after this battle?

While people were contemplating these things, a commotion suddenly broke out in the archer formation of Lin Yin players. As the players shouted, their orderly formation was suddenly torn open. Dozens of fully armed knights with swords and shields squeezed out of the archer formation and lined up in a row.

"What the hell? What's going on?" The players of Lin Yin City cursed. These guys lined up in a row, blocking them all from behind, interrupting their attack on the Cloud Piercer players.

"Warriors!!!..." After lining up, these guys didn't leave. A captain-like figure stepped out and began to speak. The Lin Yin players who were blocked behind complained loudly. They wanted to squeeze out, but these guys stood straight and unmoving, not leaving a single gap. The players didn't dare to get rough. What would happen if they attacked the guards? Of course, some curious people had experimented with this, and so far, the answer was death...

Unsworn Sword had a deep understanding of the strength of these guys. His guild of 700 people had been defeated by a mere few dozen of them. The system's underlings were unreasonably powerful. To provoke these people for no reason, the first time could be said to be curiosity, but if there was a second time, they would have to be morons!

But these guys suddenly appearing and blocking the Lin Yin archers' path was obviously helping the Cloud Piercer players in disguise. Unsworn Sword didn't miss this opportunity and quickly led his team forward. When they reached the guards, they were only a thin layer away from the archers. The archers, of course, didn't dare to fight at such close range. Seeing that their opponents were close, they reluctantly chose to retreat to create distance. So at the intersection, Unsworn Sword led his team in a perfect turn, temporarily escaping the predicament.

Shui Shen didn't rush to lead his team to chase them because they were witnessing a legend.

If the PK value exceeded 30, the guards would kill the player on the spot, and the level would drop by five. This setting had been announced long ago, but no player had ever challenged this limit. Today, someone was finally taking this historic step.

"For justice, for honor, warriors, fight!" After the captain finished speaking, he turned around sharply, drew his sword, and pointed it forward. "Advance!!!"

Some people were watching the team of guards, and some were watching the lonely Gu Fei on the rooftop.

Shui Shen had already ordered the mages on the roof to leave. He didn't know how these guards would handle the situation. Maybe there would be friendly fire in the chaos.

The mages of Lin Yin City occupied the rooftops and streets, watching Gu Fei with grins.

"Kid, keep acting arrogant!" Someone shouted.

Gu Fei didn't say anything. He took out an apple and slowly munched on it, while paying attention to the movements of these city guards.

One step, two steps, three steps... The guards were slowly approaching, not running as desperately as players did when they were chasing each other in PvP. Their simple and powerful steps showed the unreasonable dominance that only the system possessed.

The atmosphere was tense.

After escaping, the Cloud Piercer players temporarily stopped and watched from afar.

The retreating Lin Yin archers also came back to watch the show in small groups.

Gu Fei was still calmly munching on his apple.

The guards were still on the street, but they were getting closer. There were mages from Shui Shen's guild around them. Everyone consciously made way for the guards, hoping that they would chop Gu Fei into pieces.

The guards finally made their move. The heavy-looking one-handed sword made a whirring sound as it slashed down.

A mage fell. But the guards were still on the street.

The one who fell was a mage from Shui Shen's guild. He wasn't dead, but he had been knocked to the ground and pinned by the guard.

Gu Fei laughed. "Don't you guys understand the PK rules? Anyone with a PK value of 20 or more will get into trouble when they encounter the guards!"
