Chapter 1 The Burning Flames of Shuangyan Flash

The Night Flowing Light Sword was ablaze with the raging flames of Shuangyan Flash (double flame flash), circling towards the group of players. They were all secretly delighted, and Baodu Fengshuang (Well-Read and Seasoned) had already opened the team channel, ready to send out the good news of their victory.

Got him!!! The first player to be struck by Gu Fei's sword found it difficult to contain his excitement. Watching his health plummet, he was thrilled like never before, staring unblinkingly at Qianli Zui, eagerly anticipating the blossoming of white light.

Baodu Fengshuang, however, knew it wouldn't be that easy. He had appraised Qianli Zui and knew that he wore a superb belt that increased his maximum health and also provided health regeneration. Such equipment shouldn't be on a mage, but Qianli Zui had equipped it nonetheless, leaving Baodu Fengshuang helpless. Considering this guy's unconventional close combat style as a mage, it was reasonable for him to use equipment that increased his survivability. But such an item caused them a great deal of trouble.

Because the data needed to establish reflective equipment had two aspects: the chance of reflection and the degree of reflection. Even the highest degree of reflection couldn't be stacked to one hundred percent. They had tried their best to scour the main cities for such equipment, but the highest data they could achieve was only sixty-one percent. This was achieved at the cost of sacrificing some reflection chance; after all, they only had so many equipment slots. A high chance of reflection and a high degree of reflection on the same piece of equipment might still be considered useless by players, but from the system's perspective, it was a superb attribute, so the drop rate was low.

The reflection team that Baodu Fengshuang had assembled prioritized the degree of reflection, with the chance of reflection being a secondary concern. This was because there were many of them on the field at the same time. If you had thirty percent and I had thirty percent, and Qianli Zui's sword always struck a bunch of them, there was bound to be some activation. However, according to Baodu Fengshuang's estimate of Qianli Zui's damage, a sixty-one percent reflection rate wouldn't be enough to kill him, precisely because of that belt. But if they could trigger two reflections, two sixty-one percent damage reflections, then he would undoubtedly die.

So, in the end, Baodu Fengshuang and his team only feared one situation from Qianli Zui's sweep: that only one of them would be triggered! This situation was even more unlucky than none being triggered because it exposed their tactics but failed to kill Qianli Zui.

To this end, Baodu Fengshuang and his team had conducted many experiments before finally adjusting to the current combination of chance and degree. If they simply focused on stacking the degree of reflection, they could reach a maximum of seventy-one percent, but unfortunately, this was still not enough to kill Qianli Zui, and sacrificing some chance in the process resulted in several instances of only one person being triggered in the experiments.

The final ratio of chance and degree was tested in practice, so although there was such an unstable factor, everyone was still full of confidence. Seeing Qianli Zui unleashing his ultimate move, Baodu Fengshuang already felt victory was in sight.

Baodu Fengshuang was very clear about the manifestation of reflective damage. At the moment of reflection, a flash of blood would appear on the body of the player being reflected. However, with Qianli Zui's skill, he could slash several people with one sword, making it difficult to see on whom the reflection was triggered. But at this moment, Baodu Fengshuang could see it clearly because the flash of blood had already appeared when Qianli Zui struck the first person.

"Triggered on the first person!!" Baodu Fengshuang was excited.

During the experiments, someone had proposed such a hypothesis: what if he noticed when the first one was triggered and then stopped attacking?

After further practice, everyone discovered that this was only theoretically possible because human reactions simply couldn't be that fast.

This was a plan that everyone believed was foolproof. Seeing the flash of blood, Baodu Fengshuang was already excitedly writing the message, but then he felt that the scene before him seemed a little strange.

Coming back to his senses, Baodu Fengshuang was immediately stunned. What happened was simple, but this simple thing was what Baodu Fengshuang and his team considered impossible!

After triggering the first reflective damage, Qianli Zui immediately stopped the Night Flowing Light Sword steadily. The subsequent players were completely unaffected by his attack. Then, Baodu Fengshuang heard Qianli Zui's laughter: "Playing this trick, huh!"

Baodu Fengshuang felt as if his heartbeat had stopped. Why? They had simulated the same scene countless times, and no matter the speed of reaction, agility, strength, or who it was, no one had been able to stop attacking immediately after triggering the reflective damage when attacking a circle of people with all their might. Why was Qianli Zui able to do it? Where was the inertia? Did inertia not exist on him?

Baodu Fengshuang was stunned, and the players in the reflection team were also stunned. They had practiced many simulations, but they had never practiced the scenario of "what to do after Qianli Zui slashes them once and stops," because this should have been impossible. Their current mood was like everyone waiting for Hu Die Lan's update before midnight every night, but the update never appeared.

Baodu Fengshuang was petrified, stunned, and slow.

And Gu Fei, when he stopped this sword, had already proven his reaction speed to everyone. Next, his reaction was still so fast. He put the sword back into his pocket and took out his self-made flying hook.

This kind of lasso-like soft weapon did not exist in the game. Gu Fei's homemade weapon naturally could not have any damage, so he rarely used it as a weapon. However, this did not mean that Gu Fei was not skilled in this area. Gu Fei had studied all kinds of weapon routines. Bows and shields were his weaknesses, and what he was most proficient in, besides swords, sabers, and barehanded combat, was this lasso-like soft weapon.

At this moment, the Leiguang Zhen (Thunderlight Formation) behind him had disappeared. Gu Fei took a step back, and the flying hook in his hand had already been thrown out. How could the players in the reflection team understand this? They didn't even know what Gu Fei was going to do. They just saw something being thrown at them, and one person subconsciously dodged. But their captain quietly scolded, "What are you dodging!!"

That person immediately reacted. What was he dodging? They were here to be slashed by Qianli Zui...

However, Qianli Zui had clearly seen through their tactics. Why would he still attack them? At this time, Baodu Fengshuang finally came back to his senses. The plan to kill Qianli Zui by reflection had failed, but Qianli Zui's health had been reduced by more than half, and there was still a great opportunity to take advantage of! He had to use it!!

"Attack! Don't be afraid of him, attack!" Baodu Fengshuang shouted.

The reflection team players realized that Qianli Zui didn't dare to attack them, which was a great opportunity for them to bully Qianli Zui! They could be completely uninhibited.

"Charge!" The team leader gave an order, and the reflection team players pounced forward like hungry tigers. But how could these high-health guys have Gu Fei's speed? They saw Gu Fei shuttling among them, the rope in his hand continuing to fly. Everyone didn't know what tricks he was playing. They just saw the rope end swaying around, and no one could even catch where it was flying, so they couldn't even actively try to bump into it.

They couldn't hit him, and he wouldn't attack them to trigger reflection. The reflection team players' momentum quickly faded, leaving them nothing but depression.

Baodu Fengshuang quietly observed the battle while secretly deploying other players. Although the reflection team players were also unable to kill Qianli Zui, they played a good control role. Qianli Zui also didn't dare to attack them, holding something in his hand and swinging it around like he was playing jump rope. Baodu Fengshuang quickly awoke from his disappointment, hoping to seize this hard-won opportunity.

Under Baodu Fengshuang's arrangement, the players immediately began to act. Baodu Fengshuang wanted to take advantage of the reflection team players' entanglement with Gu Fei to quickly encircle him.

The players acted quickly, and the reflection team players also made a major breakthrough. Through their continuous efforts, they finally forced the unresisting Gu Fei into a corner.

The team leader was overjoyed and raised the giant sword in his hand to chop down, but he felt restrained by some force. The guy beside him cried out and crashed into him.

"What are you doing?" The team leader was shocked. He was hit by this person, and then came the second "ouch," and another player fell to the side as if possessed. The team leader took a closer look and realized that they had all been entangled by ropes.

How was this done? The team leader was about to collapse. Without any awareness, they were all entangled together? Therefore, when he raised his arm, he knocked down the people around him. The person who fell then dragged down the next one, and one person after another fell. Gu Fei didn't know what kind of knot he had tied, but the reflection team members were falling tighter and tighter, and soon they fell into a pile, covered in dust, looking for the rope end.

Baodu Fengshuang was also horrified to see this group of people being turned into a pile by Gu Fei's magic, but his deployment was still accurately completed. Taking advantage of Gu Fei's entanglement with the reflection team players, he had blocked him in the street. Flames were blazing on the roof behind Gu Fei at this time. Baodu Fengshuang was actually directing mages to bombard the area non-stop, in case Gu Fei teleported onto the roof. Baodu Fengshuang had considered all these details.

"Qianli Zui, you can't escape," Baodu Fengshuang came out to shout. While completing the deployment, he also called for reinforcements. His people were in this area and could soon have a thicker force stacked on the street.

"Oh, you don't think I can kill my way out?" Gu Fei said.

"I can't be sure of that, but I can be sure that if you kill your way out of here, your PK value will undoubtedly go above thirty," Baodu Fengshuang said.

"It seems that this is unavoidable," Gu Fei sighed, looking at the blocked streets on the left and right.

"When the system guards are dispatched, we will cooperate to block you. How much chance do you think you have?" Baodu Fengshuang was not afraid to say his plan.

"It seems I have no choice but to..."

"Archers!!" Baodu Fengshuang waved his hand, and the archers on the left and right shot out arrows wildly, with all kinds of attacks.

"Want to teleport?" Seeing Gu Fei dodging and knocking down the arrows, Baodu Fengshuang sneered.

"No, I want to drag you down with me!!" Gu Fei rushed towards Baodu Fengshuang.

"Leiguang Zhen (Thunderlight Formation)!" Baodu Fengshuang raised his staff and danced it, followed by a Huoshu Qianchong Yan (Fiery Tree of a Thousand Flames) and a Tianjiang Houlun (Skyfall Fire Wheel), not thrown into the Leiguang Zhen, but thrown at his own feet. But at the moment the flames rose, he had already teleported away.

Other mages had already thrown spells into the Leiguang Zhen. All this was also a planned action by Baodu Fengshuang. The Leiguang Zhen was indeed unable to trap Qianli Zui's movement. Its role at this time was to block Qianli Zui's line of sight. If Qianli Zui teleported out of the formation, he would fall right into the two fire spells he had cast.

Baodu Fengshuang's attack was also excellent, and he believed that his two spells were enough to kill the Qianli Zui with low health.

"Qianli Zui, you should finally die this time, right?" Baodu Fengshuang was thinking this when he suddenly felt a strange but familiar feeling on his body. He looked down and found that his body was flashing with blood, and his health was plummeting to the bottom in an instant.

"This..." Baodu Fengshuang had just said this one word when he felt that everything in front of him had disappeared, and it was dark. When he woke up again, he saw the mage academy he was familiar with in his hometown.

Reflective damage! It was reflective damage that killed him. How could this be???

Baodu Fengshuang died and returned to his hometown, and was naturally automatically removed from the team. When all the big shots came to ask him frantically, Baodu Fengshuang sent a message to the reflection team leader: "What's going on?"

"Qianli Zui pushed us into the Leiguang Zhen! We wanted to take off our equipment quickly, but it was too late. We were all entangled..." The reflection team leader was very depressed. Reflection did not mean that they themselves would not be harmed. At this time, all of his team members had been wiped out, but everything before was still vivid in his mind.

At the moment the Leiguang Zhen fell, at the moment the mages frantically bombarded them, they all thought that Qianli Zui was doomed to die. Who knew that Cheng Yizui's teleportation did not go forward, but retreated back to the original place, back behind their pile of people.

"This is the only way he can live a little longer," the reflection team players were thinking when Qianli Zui's palm had already condensed electric light and pushed it onto them.

"Does he want to commit suicide?" Some people were still thinking this, but the people who were attacked found that this attack was extremely slight. No damage, but it did not affect the effect of the skill. Palm Thunder pushed them.

That's right, it was them. Not one of them, because they were already packed as one, although they had been trying hard, they still hadn't found a clue.

In theory, so many people could not be pushed. But Palm Thunder was a spell, and spells did not follow the principles of physics. The pile of people moved, although they moved slowly, although they did not move far, they were still irresistibly pushed into the Leiguang Zhen. They were originally only a stone's throw away from the Leiguang Zhen.

They were attacked, and they suddenly realized the problem. But it was all too late. They were all wiped out, and in the process, how many people they reflected to death, even they would not know...
