Hu Die Lan
Chapter 858 Just Kill a Few
Black clothes and a purple sword had already become a mythical image. However, for players from other lands, this myth was a bit distant. If they were players from Cloudrise City, they might have already realized who this person was, but for players from those unknown main cities, although they had heard of the legends of Drunken Swordsman, their reaction was much slower. They generally wouldn't make such wild assumptions...
Their ending could only be described as tragic. Always seeking economy and practicality, they bought a very ordinary mercenary group. From the leader to the members, there wasn't a single expert, and their equipment was remarkably mediocre. Having never seen unparalleled masters, their thinking was still stuck in the old-fashioned concept that online games were about the many bullying the few. Seeing that this guy actually rushed towards them waving his sword, they were furious and also waved their weapons to meet him.
After a flash of fire, they were killed as cleanly as possible. Since it was the many bullying the few, the leaders didn't think about positioning, formations, or cooperation. They only thought about blocking the entire road and then using an attack skill on each person, and the opponent would die. Who knew that the result would be that nearly ten people died before they could even use their skills? The surviving players simply couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes, and they rubbed their eyes vigorously. After Gu Fei succeeded in this strike, he flashed back to his original position, slammed an elbow on someone's forehead, spun around, and kicked, sending the person staggering.
"So anxious!" Gu Fei looked at this person, smiling. He recognized this person, from the Eagle Squad, and seemed to have a bit of a violent temper, often charging at him with a desperate posture to shoot arrows.
After being blocked by Gu Fei, Yi Fengzheng was also shocked. He saw that Drunken Swordsman had rushed towards that group of opponents and immediately sprinted towards the warehouse like an arrow released from a bow. Who would have thought that Drunken Swordsman would charge so fast and return even faster? He hadn't even touched the door panel yet when Drunken Swordsman had already turned around and given him a punch and a kick. The attacks weren't high, but...
But he couldn't run away anymore. Gu Fei was saying these words, but his hands didn't stop. Sword light flashed, lightning flickered, and flames swirled. Yi Fengzheng's health dropped rapidly, while the players from the mercenary group he had hired were actually discussing, "Hey, who is this person?"
Yi Fengzheng vomited blood. All the people from their Eagle Squad were speed-types, so of course they didn't bring any priests. And these mercenary group players were really stingy enough. After seeing a stranger, they first discussed the person's background, not worrying about his life or death at all.
"We're on the same side!!" Yi Fengzheng shouted while trying to escape back into the crowd, hoping that the other side would just casually find a few scapegoats to block Drunken Swordsman.
As a result, Gu Fei slashed his sword horizontally, and a wall of electricity had already blocked his path. While Yi Fengzheng was detouring, Gu Fei had already caught up in two steps. However, at this time, his mana had just run out, and he couldn't use skills for the time being. If it was an ordinary attack, it was estimated that Yi Fengzheng would ignore it and continue running. So Gu Fei went up and gave him a sweeping leg. Yi Fengzheng was also alert. Seeing a leg flying over, he immediately jumped up, but this was Gu Fei's trick. Gu Fei's leg only swept halfway and then stopped moving, but he reached out and grabbed Yi Fengzheng's ankle. Just using a little bit of force, Yi Fengzheng, who was trying to jump over the sweeping leg, had lost his balance. Gu Fei then pushed him, immediately embedding him into the wall of electricity.
"It's over..." At this time, Yi Fengzheng only had this one thought in his mind. And that mercenary group that had several people instantly killed by Gu Fei earlier hadn't recovered yet. Their surviving leader was even confirming with the fallen that they were really dead.
After receiving confirmation, the leader finally began to be shocked, but obviously he hadn't realized that the person in front of him was that legendary terrifying killer. He still wanted to use the many to bully the few, loudly calling out to all the mercenary group players who had arrived on his side, the opposite side, and the rooftops, "Everyone, attack together!"
The ranged attack players were of course the first to launch their attacks again. Gu Fei smiled slightly and flashed away from his original spot. As a result, that wave of attacks was clearly aimed at Yi Fengzheng behind him. Yi Fengzheng, who was on the wall of electricity, almost fainted when he saw this scene. No matter how awesome his equipment was, he couldn't withstand so many people attacking at the same time! For someone who couldn't dodge, the players' attacks were indeed quite accurate. Yi Fengzheng instantly disappeared from the street.
Gu Fei dodged left and right on the ground, and his mana recovered slightly. He immediately rushed towards those close combat players. After sword light and firelight, naturally there was another wave of white light. The leader now knew to be afraid. The opponent had only rushed over and attacked twice, and nearly half of his mercenary group had already died. It would be too idiotic not to realize the seriousness of the problem. Although he realized it, the leader was still too optimistic. He just reminded everyone, "The attacks are very high, everyone be careful, priests pay attention to healing!"
The priests immediately revolted. Heal? Heal my ass, people are directly gone after one attack, where are we going to heal?
Just when this small mercenary group had differences of opinion, Gu Fei found his target among them. Ba Yi Xi San, after being sent to the dungeon by Gu Fei for a round, this guy finally came out. As a thief, he naturally participated in this muddy water-entering action. As a result, Gu Fei rushed into the formation heroically. Ba Yi Xi San was still thinking about whether to use stealth to approach or to rush over quickly, but Gu Fei's poisonous eyes had already seen him and touched his side first.
"Crap!" The pitiful Ba Yi Xi San only had time to say this, and Gu Fei's attacks had already arrived like a storm. Other players gathered around and wanted to attack, but Gu Fei casually resolved them. Ba Yi Xi San of course couldn't resist. He suddenly had an inspiration and shouted, "I'll hold him back, you go quickly."
He was thinking that Drunken Swordsman wanted to guard the warehouse. Shouting like this would definitely make him think that someone was approaching the warehouse, and he would definitely go back to guard the door, so he could escape.
Who would have thought that Gu Fei didn't even turn his head, but just smiled and said, "I definitely can't guard the warehouse alone with this method. It's good enough to just grab a few to kill."
Ba Yi Xi San almost fainted when he heard this. He was really unlucky! Yi Fengzheng was eager to break through the door and crashed into it himself. He, on the other hand, was just grabbed and killed casually... Why not just grab someone else to kill! Ba Yi Xi San glanced out of the corner of his eye. Liu Lan, who was on the same side as him, actually wanted to take this opportunity to rush into the warehouse, but Ba Yi Xi San's shout startled the guy and made him stop instead, angrily looking at him. Ba Yi Xi San just pretended not to see it. As a result, when he heard Gu Fei say this, that guy Liu Lan happily continued to run to the warehouse.
Last time when Gu Fei fought Ba Yi Xi San, Gu Fei couldn't kill him, so he thought of a way to trap him. That's why Ba Yi Xi San seemed to be able to hold on for a few rounds. This time, Gu Fei was trapped in an encirclement and was eager to kill him. How could he show any mercy? Even an opponent like Bai Shi Jing Lun wouldn't suffer such an urgent killing intent from Gu Fei. In an instant, all that could be seen was sword light. Ba Yi Xi San simply didn't know where the attack was pointing, and gave the most, most, most basic reaction when being beaten: hugging his head and covering his face.
Ba Yi Xi San had no ability to resist at all, but the problem was that the priests in this mercenary group were now pleasantly surprised to discover that there was someone who wouldn't die when attacked, so they desperately healed Ba Yi Xi San. Gu Fei's mana wasn't at its peak after all, so he couldn't kill Ba Yi Xi San in one go. After struggling with these priests for a while, Gu Fei suddenly gave Ba Yi Xi San a Palm Thunder. Ba Yi Xi San slid out, constantly hitting people along the way. At this time, Ba Yi Xi San had also become a weapon in Gu Fei's hands.
Liu Lan was touching the wall and running towards the warehouse door when he suddenly felt something huge flying towards him, scaring him into quickly dodging to the side. Taking a closer look, the huge hidden weapon that had scared him turned out to be Ba Yi Xi San.
Wasn't Ba Yi Xi San supposed to be fighting Drunken Swordsman? How could he suddenly be here? The thought had just flashed through Liu Lan's mind when his heart was shocked. He didn't care about Ba Yi Xi San and turned around to continue running, but when he turned around, he saw Gu Fei in front of him.
"Are you also from the Eagle Squad? I don't seem to have seen you before!" Gu Fei looked as amiable as possible.
However, the sword in his hand was as sharp as possible. While speaking amiably, the sword had already been slashed, cutting both Liu Lan and Ba Yi Xi San together.
"Xi San, what are you doing!" Liu Lan was very puzzled when he saw Ba Yi Xi San still squatting on the ground hugging his head. Ba Yi Xi San had been beaten to the point where he could only maintain this one pose. Just now, he had been pushed so far away by a Palm Thunder, and he was still confused. At this time, he suddenly heard his companion's call and was very surprised, thinking that he had already escaped. As a result, as soon as he stretched out his hidden head, he saw Gu Fei's purple-black sword burning with flames already slashing down.
Ba Yi Xi San was suddenly hit by a Palm Thunder, knocked out of the formation, and the priests didn't have time to react and heal him. At this time, Gu Fei turned around again and used Double Flame Slash to chop two people. Ba Yi Xi San, who had accumulated low health earlier, couldn't save himself by shrinking his head this time and disappeared in a white light. And Liu Lan was an archer, even worse at close combat. He wanted to run, but it was different from before. When Yi Fengzheng wanted to run earlier, there was still a blank space in front of the warehouse door, so he could run at speed. At this time, the street was a mess, and many players on the rooftops had also jumped down to find targets. With so many obstacles, speed couldn't be used at all. However, Gu Fei's professional kung fu footwork could maintain his speed in this environment. Liu Lan, who was desperately trying to rush into the warehouse, couldn't escape Gu Fei's attacks that followed him like a shadow, and eventually could only fall in a white light.
Yong Yuan, who was constantly receiving messages, was hearing one bad news after another. He regretted not coming in person. Otherwise, if he gave Drunken Swordsman an Agility Curse, he could limit his performance to some extent... But, he didn't expect that in this situation, this guy could still accurately pick out and kill the people from their Eagle Squad one by one. Perhaps he shouldn't have been cheap and should have found some more skilled mercenary groups. There were too many possibilities, but thinking about it now could only increase his annoyance.
"Can you still do it?" Yong Yuan could only ask the brothers who were still alive at this time.
"I'm in!" Yong Yuan finally heard the news he wanted to hear.
And Gu Fei on the street was also very helpless at this time, "There's nothing I can do about you."
The person who successfully entered the warehouse was Shiba Mo. He had chosen to slowly infiltrate by stealth, but after Yi Fengzheng, Liu Lan, and Ba Yi Xi San successively died, he was still discovered by Drunken Swordsman. However, at this time, his skill distance was already enough. When Drunken Swordsman slashed his sword, he used a Substitute Straw Man. The straw man shattered under Drunken Swordsman's sword, while he himself had already teleported to the warehouse door and pushed it open. Hearing Drunken Swordsman's sigh behind him, he couldn't help but turn his head and nodded, "Thank you for returning my dagger."
"I should have returned it later if I had known this would happen," Gu Fei said, shaking his head, and glancing at the players like mountains and seas around him, "Okay, okay, it's already over, everyone can leave."
Gu Fei appeared and disappeared mysteriously in the crowd, killing whoever he wanted. This aura finally made these players realize that this wasn't just a little wrong, but a big wrong. At this time, hearing Gu Fei's shout, everyone stopped involuntarily. They seemed to know that even if they continued to work hard, there would be no result.
"Go find the person who hired you, he will settle the bill with you," Gu Fei said.
The three leaders hadn't died at this time. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Gu Fei suddenly had a whimsical idea, "How much money would it take to buy you to kill the person who hired you?"
The three leaders were even more dumbfounded. They were just small mercenary groups, and they usually did more system tasks and fewer player tasks. After all, players who would spend money to ask others to help with tasks were mostly difficult. These three leaders, who didn't have much experience with this kind of task, had naturally never heard of such a request, and were a little short-circuited for a while.
"Not convenient? If it's not convenient, then forget it, leave, leave," Gu Fei seemed to be everyone's leader, giving orders to everyone.
"You say leave and we leave, who are you?" Someone finally said unhappily.
"My name is Drunken Swordsman," Gu Fei introduced.
There was an instant uproar. Seeing the appearance, they couldn't react for a while. Now that the person had introduced himself, it would be too disrespectful to Gu Fei's great reputation if they still had to think about who Drunken Swordsman was. After hearing the name, these people finally realized their slowness, and stared at Gu Fei steadily for a full minute, finally believing, "You are Drunken Swordsman!"
"That's right, it's me..."
On the surface, the conversation was calm, but the channels of the three mercenary groups were already in an uproar, "Damn, leader, let's withdraw! He can even wipe out a sixth-level group of a thousand people, what are we?"
"Damn it, he actually let us kill Drunken Swordsman, does he have a grudge against us?"
"How did someone rush into that house in the middle, whose is it?"
Multiple topics in the three channels. In short, they really had no fighting spirit against the Gu Fei in front of them. Even if they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to show it, but lowered their heads and left silently. In a short while, the people on the street had left. Gu Fei smiled sinisterly, and walked in the same direction as them as if nothing had happened.
The three leaders who left were now discussing together.
"What should we do?"
"What should we do? Settle the score with that guy! The opponent is actually Drunken Swordsman, we should have been told about such a target! What skilled at escaping guy, does Drunken Swordsman need to escape?"
"When you say settle the score, are you saying to chop that guy, or to settle the bill with him?"
"Settle the bill, and also demand compensation! If it wasn't for Drunken Swordsman, would our brothers have suffered such a big loss?"
"Contact him, damn it!"
The three leaders hurriedly contacted Yong Yuan, but the replies they received were consistent.
"That guy said that the task has already been modified to completed at the Mercenary Building, and we can already get the money..."
"Damn it, what about the compensation, several people in our group died!"
"Damn, I can't send it out, this guy has already deleted me!"
"Me too!"
"Damn, damn, damn!!"
The three leaders cursed all the way, and took their three groups of brothers to the Mercenary Building. Gu Fei followed them not far or near, and they didn't notice at all. Until they entered the building and saw that the three of them just went to the system NPC to get their reward, Gu Fei was very regretful. He originally thought that tasks customized by players like this might require both parties to hand them in, and that following these people could kill Yong Yuan, but he didn't expect that they were using the Mercenary Building's system to complete the transaction.
"I killed three more, the warehouse is lost," Gu Fei reported the results to everyone.
"Which three did you kill?"
"Ba Yi Xi San, and two archers, I don't remember their names," Gu Fei said. Liu Lan and Yi Fengzheng were wronged. They were killed, but people didn't even know their names.
"Not bad, come back to Yueye City!"
"Not in a hurry, I'll wander around here for a while!" Gu Fei strolled around again.
Another battle had ended here, and in the Ten Guild Alliance of Yueye City, Yun Zhong Mu, after much deliberation, finally made a painful decision. When he said this decision and transmitted it to the ten guilds through the player in charge of broadcasting, everyone was stunned.
"Boss, are you kidding!" The most direct and fastest reaction was of course from Yun Zhong Mu's own guild, which he had established, which had a long history in Yueye City, and was the leader of the ten guilds in the Ten Guild Alliance, the Beiqiu Guild.
"No, I'm really tired, too tired," Yun Zhong Mu said.
"Boss, we support you! We're not afraid of that Eagle Squad."
"The Eagle Squad is not terrible in the first place. Their background is Yingqi Studio. The purpose of the studio is to make money, not to fight and kill. It's easy to talk about a reconciliation with them," Yun Zhong Mu said.
"Do you mean to make us bow our heads to Yingqi?" Many people were angry.
"No, I caused all this, I'll solve it. I just want to ask everyone for their opinion now. If the brothers still have the mind to continue the Ten Guild Alliance, I'll go forward and solve this matter. If you don't want to continue, then there's no need to solve it," Yun Zhong Mu said, feeling very calm in his heart.
"Without you, Boss Yun, who can support the Ten Guild Alliance? Anyway, I only admire you! If you leave, I'll leave too!"
"I've made up my mind, don't try to persuade me anymore. Whether the Ten Guild Alliance stays or scatters, let everyone decide!" Yun Zhong Mu said, his heart very calm.
