Chapter 157 Boss

Gu Fei landed flat on his back, in an extremely undignified pose. Although he had been knocked over before, this time it happened in front of acquaintances, intensifying his embarrassment. Especially with Han Jia Gongzi's poisonous tongue mercilessly mocking him, Gu Fei felt even more ashamed.

But the more this was the case, the more he needed to appear calm and composed. As the saying goes, never let your opponent know your state of mind. Although Han Jia Gongzi wasn't an opponent in the broad sense, if Gu Fei showed any embarrassment, it would only make him more smug and his mockery even more fierce.

So, instead of showing any embarrassment, Gu Fei lay on the ground, looked up at the two of them, and smiled, "So, you're here."

"Sorry, we accidentally caught you in a sorry state," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Don't mention it. If you'd like to be in a sorry state too, I can help you create an opportunity," Gu Fei said.

While these two were verbally sparring, You Ge, being kind-hearted, came over to help Gu Fei up. But just as he bent down, Gu Fei and Han Jia Gongzi shouted together, "Get out of the way!!!"

Startled, You Ge instinctively shrank back. Looking up again, he saw a gray figure leaping high in the mist, then suddenly diving down at high speed in a way that defied the laws of physics, its target aimed directly at Gu Fei on the ground.

"So much preamble, what a waste of such speed!" Gu Fei scorned the efficiency of this Mist Shadow Assassin. He quickly rolled to the side on the ground, dodging the attack. If this guy could change direction in mid-air, then Gu Fei would concede defeat.

As it turned out, the system wasn't that unscrupulous. Gu Fei dodged, and the Mist Shadow Assassin still completed his attack in the air, landing in a semi-crouch, both hands gripping daggers in a thrusting pose. At this moment, Han Jia Gongzi and You Ge were only ten centimeters away from him.

The Mist Shadow Assassin paused, and this pause felt like an eternity to Han Jia Gongzi and You Ge. If the Mist Shadow Assassin suddenly attacked them, they would have absolutely no chance of retaliating. They were well aware of this. The two could only pray that this Mist Shadow Assassin would follow the rules and continue pursuing his target, Gu Fei.

The Mist Shadow Assassin didn't disappoint them. After what felt like an eternity, he "whooshed" around and charged out, still gripping his daggers, drawing an arc from bottom to top as if to cleave Gu Fei in two.

Of course, Gu Fei didn't give him the chance. He crouched down, stood up, and jumped, using this to extend the opponent's attack range and buy himself some time. He pressed down on the sword with both hands and blocked the Mist Shadow Assassin's attack.

But the impact of this strike was still considerable. It was impossible for Gu Fei to stay steady in the air, so he could only somersault backward, flying away. The Mist Shadow Assassin actually continued his pursuit, leaping up and stabbing with his dagger. Gu Fei once again accurately held his sword across his chest. With a "clang," Gu Fei was shot out like a cannonball, disappearing into the thick fog in the blink of an eye. The Mist Shadow Assassin landed in a semi-crouch again and charged out swiftly. A crisp sound of weapons clashing seemed to come from the fog dozens of meters away.

Han Jia Gongzi and You Ge exchanged glances, clearly realizing that the strength of this Boss was far beyond their expectations.

"This Boss is terrifying. What's his name..." You Ge muttered. His intelligence dictionary didn't contain such a terrifying system creature.

"What's even more terrifying is Qian Li. He's still not dead after all that? Does he have no limit?" Han Jia Gongzi finally expressed his shock at Gu Fei's ability, because it was simply too unimaginable. Han Jia Gongzi felt that he couldn't even see the Shadow Assassin's attacks clearly, yet this guy was accurately blocking them one after another.

In the mist, the brief, rapid sounds of weapons clashing were sometimes faint, sometimes clear, sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right. Everyone involuntarily held their breath. They couldn't see the battle, but just the sound and the direction it came from completely captivated them.

This included the seven members of Jian Nan You's group. They had momentarily forgotten that the two people making those sounds were originally their hunting targets.

They had been advancing into the mist where Gu Fei retreated, even expecting Gu Fei to be pushed into their attack range by the Mist Shadow Assassin once again.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. They heard the sounds of the two sides fighting, but Gu Fei was no longer being pushed back. Then they heard the sounds of the battle constantly changing location. The seven maintained their circular formation, but they couldn't keep up with the changing direction of the sounds. When the sounds were far away, they were very anxious and wanted to break formation and chase after them. But the sounds would suddenly be very close, immediately dispelling that idea. Sometimes, they even saw the figures of the two flying past in the fog.

The seven were pale. After the 900-degree Double Flame Flash, Gu Fei's strength rose even higher in their minds.

"He actually has such speed!!!" In the mist, one black and one gray figure flashed by suddenly at almost the same speed.

Everyone was silent, a deathly silence.

The hand that was being held by the seven was weak, and he could feel the change in atmosphere. The composure that the seven had shown ever since he had come into contact with them had disappeared. Each person's face had varying degrees of fear and disbelief. They would occasionally glance at the people next to them, as if seeking comfort from each other.

This time, the seven were making a mistake by being overly suspicious.

It was true that Gu Fei could resist the Mist Shadow Assassin's attacks, but he didn't have such speed at all. His speed was almost entirely due to being sent flying by the Shadow Assassin's assassinations time and time again, completely involuntarily. It was just that the fog prevented them from seeing Gu Fei's sorry state of being knocked away. The occasional flashes they saw were just two figures passing by at high speed, accompanied by the sounds of battle constantly changing location, forcing the seven to be shocked.

"What do we do? Advance or retreat?" The seven were all pondering this question.

At this time, on the Gongzi Elite Team side, Jian Gui also raised the same question: "What do we do?"

Han Jia Gongzi replied casually: "Let Qian Li kite the Boss, we'll prepare to deal with Jian Nan You!"

Because the Mist Shadow Assassin would occasionally hide himself and start over after a few rounds of attacks, Gu Fei still had time to check his messages. When he saw what Han Jia Gongzi had said, he really wanted to kill him right away.

Facing the Mist Shadow Assassin, Gu Fei was at a complete disadvantage. He had yet to find a chance to win, or even a chance to retaliate. If this continued, he would make a mistake and be killed by the Mist Shadow Assassin, while they would take care of Jian Nan You. That would be the legendary losing both the battle and the reward! At this moment, Gu Fei was still thinking about killing Jian Nan You for money! This was the tenacious quality of someone who was loyal to his ideals.

"This..." Jian Gui was a little hesitant.

"Haha, Qian Li, can you hold on?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

"Hold your mother's head!!!" Gu Fei finally couldn't help but curse. He immediately felt much better, as if even the confidence he had lost from being chased and slashed by the Mist Shadow Assassin had returned.

"Haha, don't be so irritable! Calmly face the enemy, hang in there for a while. We'll deal with them and then come help you deal with the Boss. Tmd, Yu Tian and Wu Shang, you two good-for-nothings, have you arrived yet!" Han Jia Gongzi also started cursing.

"We're here, we're here!" Cheerful laughter seemed to come from the channel.

"Where's the Boss?" Zhan Wu Shang asked impatiently.

"Didn't you see the plan in our channel? Take care of Jian Nan You's group first, then deal with the Boss," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Leave Jian Nan You to me!!" Gu Fei shouted.

"That depends on the situation. If you can take care of the Boss and successfully return before we take care of Jian Nan You, hahaha!!" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Despicable!" Gu Fei raged.

On the other side, Zhan Wu Shang's loud challenge rang out in the fog: "Jian Nan You, where are you, you grandson! Get your ass out here!!!!!!"

"Get out here, get out here!!" Yu Tian Shen Ming chimed in.

"Did I even arrange any tactics?" Han Jia Gongzi said to You Ge beside him.

"Everyone's enthusiasm is high when facing the Boss," You Ge said.

"But letting these two guys shout randomly can create some pressure for the other side," Han Jia Gongzi said.

Sure enough, as Jian Nan You's group of seven were hesitating whether to advance or retreat, Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming's shouts suddenly rang out in the fog, making the seven even more flustered.

"Have all their people arrived?"

"It seems like there are two people."

"In the fog, it sounds like two people. How do you know how many there are?"

"We definitely can't go in that direction. There must be a trap."

Unconsciously, the seven seemed to be leaning towards retreat. They were now rejecting the route away from the direction where Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming's voices were coming from. Little did they know that these two were just shouting randomly without any strategy.

"Qian Li, do you have time to help me check Huo Ran Yi's coordinates?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

There was no response. The sound of weapons clashing could faintly be heard again.

"He's busy..." Han Jia Gongzi muttered, and then instructed the duo: "Don't shout in the same place all the time. Run around and change positions."

The two followed his instructions, moving around while continuing to challenge Jian Nan You's group, spouting lines such as "Dare to report your coordinates, let's have a life-or-death battle!"

"Their positions are changing!" After hearing this, the few looked at Jian Nan You with troubled expressions.

Jian Nan You sighed. Being the boss looked good on the surface, but at critical moments, you had to take responsibility. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally made a decision: "Retreat first."

Jian Nan You patted the trembling hand: "Brother, it's bad luck, but our enemies have actually caught up to us. I'm afraid we can't help you with your mission today."

A look of disappointment appeared on the face of the trembling hand. He could understand that Jian Nan You couldn't continue to help him with his mission because his enemies had come to his door. But when his enemies came to his door, Jian Nan You's decision wasn't to fight them to the death, but to retreat first. The trembling hand couldn't help but feel that the image of this expert wasn't as great as he had imagined.
