Chapter 138 Utilizing the Terrain

Bao Du Fengshuang was utterly perplexed, extremely so. Even if members of the Reflection Squad were pushed into the Lightning Array, they shouldn’t have died! Reflection damage didn't reflect ranged attacks. To utilize it, Bao Du Fengshuang and his men had thoroughly researched the attribute's mechanics.

However, no one else cared about Bao Du Fengshuang's confusion. Everyone was more concerned with: Did Qian Li Yizui die?

Bao Du Fengshuang didn't know, nor did the Reflection Squad players responsible for killing Qian Li Yizui. They had tried to kill Qian Li Yizui, but they were the ones who died. Bao Du Fengshuang checked his losses, and another wail escaped him. He was so depressed. He had lost two levels, because he had three PK points.

Undoubtedly, those PK points belonged to the Reflection Squad players. They were pushed into the Lightning Array, bombarded with spells, and none survived. Three of them, however, transferred their PK points to Bao Du Fengshuang, and then he died… resulting in a two-level drop.

"Too unlucky!" Bao Du Fengshuang grumbled. Not only was he inexplicably killed by reflection, but it was a PK death. To make matters worse, there was no one to comfort him. The important figures were flooding him with messages, asking why the plan failed and whether Qian Li Yizui was dead.

Was Qian Li Yizui dead? Bao Du Fengshuang also wanted to know, wanted to know through gritted teeth. He hurriedly contacted the players present, only to be further frustrated. Qian Li Yizui wasn't dead. He killed them all without incurring PK and left unscathed. Bao Du Fengshuang's encirclement had no issues; the problem was the sudden external assistance that easily rescued Qian Li Yizui.

There was another frustrating piece of news for Bao Du Fengshuang: only he was killed by the reflected damage when the Reflection Squad was pushed into the Lightning Array. Others used Heavenly Fire Wheel, Blazing Trees, and other ranged spells. Did the system not classify his Lightning Array as a ranged spell? But it definitely wasn't a melee spell either… Bao Du Fengshuang's death only served to give him a new understanding of his skill, Lightning Array. Bao Du Fengshuang wanted to cry.

"What now?" Bao Du Fengshuang wondered. He had already answered the big shots' inquiries, briefly explaining the process. They had no choice but to accept it. Stopping attacks the moment reflection damage was detected was impossible. This was the conclusion they collectively reached during practice. But Qian Li Yizui was defying logic and succeeding, so what could they say? It couldn't be blamed on Bao Du Fengshuang.

"He's cheating, he must be cheating!" More and more people supported the claim that Qian Li Yizui was using hacks.

"Fengshuang, where are you right now?" Someone finally expressed concern for Bao Du Fengshuang's situation.

"Back in town!"

"Do you have any teleport scrolls?" the person asked.

"Yes… but we got them from Yunteng," Bao Du Fengshuang said.

Buying scrolls from Yunteng was part of their plan to deceive them. They deliberately requested twenty scrolls with the same coordinates to create the illusion that they were gathering a group to reach Yun Duan City. It seemed the other side had fallen for it, but Qian Li Yizui still couldn't be dealt with.

"Those can't be used for now," the other party said quickly.

"I know," Bao Du Fengshuang said, because the coordinates on the scrolls were currently within the territory held by "Feichang Nitian." Teleporting there would be like walking into a tiger's den.

"Wait a bit, or find another scroll. We'll handle things here as soon as possible," the person told Bao Du Fengshuang.

"Qian Li Yizui… what happened in the end?" Bao Du Fengshuang really didn't want to mention that name.

"Sigh, they say some people came and helped him break through. Feichang Nitian really does have some external support. But it's not a game-changer. Qian Li Yizui is now restricted by PK points, giving us some time. We're currently organizing a more aggressive attack to take down this group first."

"Then good luck, I'll find a scroll and head over," Bao Du Fengshuang sighed. Failing to eliminate Qian Li Yizui was a major problem. He could only take things one step at a time. Bao Du Fengshuang went towards the main city's mailbox while contacting some buyers of teleport scrolls. Although nothing was settled yet, he still had to pick up any goods at the mailbox.

"Hey, you in front." Suddenly, someone called out from behind. Bao Du Fengshuang didn't pay much attention, just casually glanced back. After doing so, he realized something was wrong, very wrong. He turned back again, seeing a black-robed mage with a purple-black longsword. This, this, this…

Bao Du Fengshuang immediately used Instant Move to teleport several meters away, then ran wildly, looking left and right for any side streets or alleys.

"Use the terrain, I have to use the terrain! This is my home city, I have to use the terrain to shake him off." Bao Du Fengshuang's heart was racing. He desperately searched the surrounding terrain. Even a rat hole would be welcomed.

Gu Fei was shaken off by several meters, but he wasn't worried at all. He didn't even use Instant Move. The opponent was just an ordinary mage, or rather, a normal mage. His movement speed was worlds apart. Catching up was only a matter of time.

Gu Fei strode forward. Bao Du Fengshuang ran while constantly looking back, seeing Qian Li Yizui rapidly approaching. He couldn't find any usable terrain. Just as he was panicking, he suddenly saw a familiar face ahead. Bao Du Fengshuang paused for a moment, then felt a surge of joy. Where was he? This was his home, wasn't familiarity with the terrain his only advantage? Of course not. The city was full of his friends, full of his acquaintances!

"Qiao Qi!!" Thinking of this, Bao Du Fengshuang shouted.

The familiar person heard the voice and looked over, immediately smiling when he saw Bao Du Fengshuang: "Fengshuang, why are you running?"

"Help me, I'm being chased!" Bao Du Fengshuang yelled.

"Are you kidding me?" Qiao Qi's full name was Qiao Qiqiao, a well-known assassin. Although he wasn't ranked at the top of the world rankings, he was a famous expert in Bao Du Fengshuang's main city. He was about to team up with ten or so people to level up when he saw Bao Du Fengshuang running towards him in a panic, yelling for help. Qiao Qiqiao didn't believe it for a second. Bao Du Fengshuang was a big shot in their guild with great popularity. Who would be so blind as to cause him trouble in their entire main city?

But the next second, Qiao Qiqiao realized it wasn't a joke. Behind Bao Du Fengshuang, someone was casually chasing after him. Why casually? Because the person's speed was completely disproportionate to Bao Du Fengshuang. He could easily catch up with a casual jog.

"Fengshuang, come over here." Qiao Qiqiao's expression immediately became serious. Bao Du Fengshuang was a master player, yet he was being chased through the streets in a panic, completely lacking composure. The person chasing him must be a big deal. But who in their main city could reach this level? Qiao Qiqiao couldn't think of anyone. He was also basically sure that he didn't recognize this approaching person. This was strange. He knew all the famous experts in the main city, if not intimately, at least by face. Who was this person?

"Be careful, it's Qian Li Yizui." Bao Du Fengshuang gave him the answer.

"Qian Li Yizui?" Qiao Qiqiao was puzzled.

"Qian Li Yizui from Yun Duan City, he's very powerful. Stall him for a bit while I call for help. He currently has a high PK value, so he should be wary." Bao Du Fengshuang was panicked, but his mind was clear. Qian Li Yizui had chased him all the way to his hometown so quickly. He definitely wouldn't have had time to wash away his PK value. He probably still had over twenty points! Qiao Qiqiao had at least ten people. Did he dare kill them all? He needed to quickly utilize his home-field advantage and call for reinforcements. With his PK value limiting him, they could surround him again. This time, who could rescue him? Qian Li Yizui, you're being careless!

Bao Du Fengshuang got excited again. He frantically called out in his friend list, sending messages to everyone in the guild, outside the guild, male, female, online, offline. Even the big shots still in Yun Duan City weren't spared, confusing them. They sent messages asking what was wrong with Bao Du Fengshuang.

"Qian Li Yizui?" Qiao Qiqiao had already led his people to block the street, forming a subtle encirclement around Gu Fei, who was approaching. It was clear they were a close-knit team that often leveled up together, showing excellent coordination.

"Yes, who are you?" Gu Fei asked politely.

"My name is Qiao Qiqiao. You wouldn't know me." Qiao Qiqiao knew his fame wasn't world-renowned. After a brief introduction, he immediately said, "Fengshuang is a good person, how did he offend you?"

Qiao Qiqiao was also a clever guy. Seeing Bao Du Fengshuang eagerly calling for help after arriving, and that he only asked him to stall, and with such reluctance, he figured that Qian Li Yizui was as strong as the rumors suggested, even defying common sense. Qiao Qiqiao was well-versed in online game YY novels and knew a thing or two about powerful characters. Therefore, he didn't rely on his numerical advantage. Instead, he tried to stall for time by chatting.

"It's not a personal feud," Gu Fei said.

"Then what is it?"

"You could say I'm acting in self-defense!" Gu Fei said.

Everyone looked at each other, chasing someone through the streets and claiming self-defense? Who would believe that?

"That, that... doesn't seem quite right, does it?" Qiao Qiqiao said.

Gu Fei was about to reply when a female voice suddenly came: "What's going on? Why are you chatting? Where's the target? Did you lose him?"

Everyone looked over, and a red-clad girl was speeding over, firing questions like a machine gun before she even arrived.

"He's here!" Gu Fei said.

"Then hurry up, what are you blabbering about?" Xi Yao Wu said.

"I'll start now." Gu Fei nodded, waved his sword, and shouted: "Wanted mission, those who aren't involved, move aside. Chatting can wait!"

===================================

Yesterday's chapter had a small mistake. Gu Fei's item that increased health wasn't mainly the belt, but the necklace "Blessing of the Wind" from the wanted mission series. I messed up. Cough, did anyone notice? Probably not!
