Chapter 28 Five Explosions

This time, Sword Demon's words didn't stir up the players' morale. Everyone knew they had fallen into the enemy's trap. That group of rabble they had slaughtered earlier was actually a sweet poison. Now, they were all deeply poisoned with "PK value," and each death would result in a severe penalty of losing at least two levels. It was really difficult to muster any fighting spirit in such a situation.

Sword Demon asked everyone in the channel to start gathering combat teams, but it was as if he hadn't said anything. Everyone wore a deathly expression. Some players wanted to obey orders, but they couldn't get the cooperation of the other players, and in the end, everything seemed futile. Sword Demon looked sadly at his brothers around him, his closest partners since the game began, all wearing helpless expressions.

The enemy's encirclement grew closer and closer, and they could already see the vast sea of people in the opposing formation. Step by step, they advanced slowly and methodically.

"Everyone, cheer up! Do you all want to just sit here and get killed? Before we die, let's at least show our opponents how powerful we are! Let's take a few down with us!" Sword Demon was still unwilling to give up.

"Sword Demon Boss..." Finally, someone said weakly, "I'm also reluctant to give up, but my PK value is exactly 9 points right now. Since we're going to sacrifice ourselves anyway, if I take another one down with me, my PK value will become 10, and I'll lose an extra level. I don't think we should be acting impulsively at this time, what do you think?"

Sword Demon was stunned. What the player said was indeed reasonable. Logically, with a PK value at this level, death was inevitable. It was unscientific to create more PK points for himself.

Seeing Sword Demon's hesitation, many players seemed to find a reason all at once and clamored, "Yeah, my PK value is also 9 points, any more and it'll be 10..."

"I'm at 8 points, but I'm a mage, I might accidentally go over, it's dangerous."

"I'm also in danger, a warrior's Whirlwind Slash can sometimes produce more than one PK point at a time."

Looking at this chorus of voices, Sword Demon couldn't tell what was real and what was fake. Even Drifting came over and whispered, "I'm at 29 points..."

Sword Demon turned to look at him, saying nothing. In his mind, although Drifting wasn't very close to him, he was at least an old acquaintance. Yet even he had chosen to retreat for this reason... Sword Demon didn't think there was anything wrong with that. He was just sure that if it were him, no matter if his PK value was 29, 39, or 79, he would never give up resisting because of it. People needed to be rational, but sometimes being too rational could be boring.

Sword Demon continued to look around, the players were no longer speaking, but it was clear that giving up resistance had become the main theme. His gaze shifted again, and he saw some players secretly taking off their equipment and putting it in their pockets. Having a PK value increased the chance of dropping equipment, while equipment in pockets had a much lower chance of being dropped.

"Sigh..." Sword Demon sighed deeply. He finally felt speechless. Everyone might be preserving their immediate interests, but as a guild, Sword Demon felt that this guild had no soul at all.

The encirclement completely closed in, closing in to within attack range. Since everyone had lost their fighting spirit, Sword Demon was powerless to organize any attacks and could only let them do as they pleased. The surrounding opponents, however, didn't rush to attack. Like the previous rabble, they were masked and didn't wear guild emblems, obviously afraid of being seen through. This was Sword Demon's only comfort, at least the other side was still somewhat afraid. Although this fear might only come from one person...

Sword Demon looked at Gu Fei. Gu Fei had the most PK value, and he hadn't said anything during the earlier argument. But Sword Demon was sure that Qian Li would not retreat, whether it was PK78 or 178, he wouldn't. But with Qian Li Yi Zui's strength, he could definitely kill dozens more people, so when he was killed, he might even drop below level thirty, and all his equipment might be dropped...

With such a great sacrifice, was the persistence he was pursuing really worth it? Sword Demon suddenly felt lost again. He realized that this question shouldn't be generalized, and perhaps they should use teleportation scrolls to send away some people with high PK values.

Right! Teleportation scrolls, why hadn't he thought of that earlier? Sword Demon was overjoyed and was about to tell Gu Fei about it when he suddenly stopped. The scrolls definitely couldn't send everyone away. Then who should they send away? What would the people who weren't sent away think? He had been saying all along that they would fight together without abandoning anyone, but suddenly he was going to use scrolls to send away those with great losses. Wasn't this inconsistent?

Sword Demon was agonizing, and at the same time, he wondered why the other side hadn't attacked yet. At this moment, the other side finally spoke, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work. It's not easy to carry so much PK value, right? Hehe, now, I'll give you all a chance. As long as you leave the Exceptionally Defiant guild, you can leave immediately. You can go wash your PK value, or do whatever you want, it's none of our business anymore. Do you understand? We're targeting the Exceptionally Defiant guild, not everyone here."

This statement caused an uproar.

"Poisonous, really poisonous. They want to completely break up our guild. If that's the case, I'm sure there are ambushes at the resurrection points! Our people will be killed until they have no choice but to leave the guild. When there are fewer than twenty people, the guild will be disbanded," said Han Jia Gongzi.

"Guild disbanded?"

"That's right. After the guild is disbanded, what will happen to the six districts that have already been awarded to the players?" said Han Jia Gongzi.

While everyone was stunned, Drifting came over, "Sorry, everyone..."

Sword Demon looked at Drifting, already knowing what he was going to say.

"I'll quit first. After I escape, I'll rejoin later," said Drifting. "It's better to avoid the loss of four levels if I can."

"You bastard, you're so disloyal. If everyone quits like you, what kind of guild will there be for you to join? Don't you know the rule that the guild will automatically disband if there are fewer than twenty people?" Yu Tian Shen Ming had never liked Drifting, and when he saw this guy making this suggestion at this time, he immediately burst into骂.

Drifting didn't say anything, just looked at Sword Demon. Sword Demon actually smiled and said to him, "Then quit quickly!"

"Don't let him quit!" You Ge was also anxious at this time. "He's a well-known expert. If he quits, who knows how many people he'll influence!"

As soon as You Ge finished speaking, system messages rang out in the guild channel, and some people had already quit, leaving behind only a few "Sorry" and "Apologies."

"Damn!" Yu Tian Shen Ming had just罵 when You Ge's prediction came true. These few were just small characters, but their departure was like turning on a tap. System messages about someone quitting the guild began to flash continuously, and the players who quit quietly left the team and walked towards the encirclement.

After all, not all guild members were like this. Some players who hadn't quit couldn't help but骂 at these guys, and some even prepared to rush up and fight, but Sword Demon spoke in time, stopping these players and letting those who quit leave.

The surrounding players were also trustworthy. After the guys who quit reached them and were asked a few questions, they really let them go. This retreat was like a storm, instantly sweeping through Exceptionally Defiant. The original 134-member Exceptionally Defiant instantly had only 52 members left, with more than half quitting. And Drifting had already left quietly in this wave.

The other side seemed very satisfied with this result and continued to shout, "We know that there are also friends from the Rebirth Amethyst and Everlasting Life Among Flowers guilds who are not related to this. Please leave on your own as well!"

Rebirth Amethyst and Everlasting Life Among Flowers were both outliers in the guild, but despite one being a group of girls and the other being a group of perverted men, they were actually much more loyal than many people. Who knew that at this time, with just one sentence from the other side, the people from both guilds actually stood up and left without saying a word.

"I操 your mother!!!" Yu Tian Shen Ming hadn't expected that these two guilds would leave as soon as they were told, without leaving a single word. Although he secretly felt that it was best for them to leave, the attitude of the two guilds made Yu Tian Shen Ming very unhappy. He finally erupted. Anyway, he was going to die sooner or later, so instead of watching the other side act leisurely, he might as well fight back first. He would take someone down with him even if he died. Yu Tian Shen Ming strongly agreed with this view, and at this time, he drew his bow and prepared to snipe the guy who was shouting. Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him before the arrow could be fired. In the game, only Gu Fei with Instant Shift could do this. Yu Tian Shen Ming hadn't even reacted to what was happening, and the kind of firelight he had seen countless times rose up, but this time, the target of the firelight was actually him.

Instant kill. Yu Tian Shen Ming was just a fragile archer, he couldn't block Gu Fei's sword. White light immediately appeared, and he disappeared without even having time to leave a word.

"Qian Li!!" Sword Demon and the others were stunned, looking at Gu Fei in disbelief. Gu Fei didn't say anything, turned around and used an area-of-effect spell directly into the Exceptionally Defiant player formation. The players screamed and scattered to dodge. Gu Fei attacked extremely ruthlessly, chasing and hitting all the way, one sword for each.

"Qian Li, are you crazy?" Zhan Wu Shang rushed forward, Gu Fei turned around, and a Lei Xin Zhang (Thunder Palm) hit Zhan Wu Shang's head directly, but the warrior had enough health, this palm wasn't enough, Gu Fei turned back and added a Shuang Yan Shan (Dual Flame Flash), resolving him amidst Zhan Wu Shang's骂.

This sudden change surprised both the surrounding and the surrounded players. Seeing Gu Fei slaughtering his own people at high speed as if he had gone mad, everyone's faces were extremely confused.

There were only 52 members left in Exceptionally Defiant, and Gu Fei cleared more than half of them in the blink of an eye. Sword Demon and the others were completely stunned, not knowing whether to stop him or not, just standing there foolishly.

"What's going on?" The surrounding players watched this scene but were still in the mood to discuss.

"Uh, maybe he's sending them off himself instead of letting them die in our hands?" someone analyzed.

"Then how much PK value would he accumulate?"

"Damn it, can Qian Li Yi Zui still break out of our encirclement?"

"I think he saw through our plan and simply killed his own people before we could coerce them," someone said.

"Hehe, then didn't he think that we would be ambushing at the resurrection points? Notify them, and make sure they recognize the targets!"

The members of Exceptionally Defiant, including Yu Tian Shen Ming, Zhan Wu Shang, Yun Xiang, Huo Qiu, You Ge, Jian Nan You, Jiao Shui, Huo Ran Yi... even Shui Shen, Lu Ke, Bai Shi Jing Lun, were all killed by Gu Fei. Only at this time did Bai Shi Jing Lun know how terrifying Gu Fei's skills were. He wanted to resist, but the changing swordsmanship had already wiped across his neck in an instant, causing him to die a complete death.

The field was cleared cleanly, leaving only Sword Demon and Han Jia Gongzi. And Sword Demon, who was still confused before, now had a relieved expression, watching Gu Fei rush towards him without resisting at all.

A sword flew out, first killing Han Jia Gongzi, then enveloping Sword Demon, and a Zhang Xin Lei (Palm Thunder) pushed out, killing Sword Demon.

The surrounding players had also received the news that the players at the seven major resurrection points all claimed that they had not seen any players from Exceptionally Defiant.

"How is that possible? Didn't I tell you to memorize their guild emblems? Look more carefully!"

"No, really no one. We know some of the experts in Exceptionally Defiant, so we don't need to recognize the emblems, but really, no one has come!"

They were killed, but they didn't respawn at the resurrection points. What was going on? Did the people of Exceptionally Defiant not have their accounts in Cloudrise City, or did the people of Exceptionally Defiant have their own resurrection points in their districts? That's impossible, I haven't heard of that being included in the rewards.

Everyone looked at Gu Fei in confusion. Gu Fei was also looking at them coldly, pointing to the person who was always shouting earlier, "I'll come find you again."

"Kill him!!" The surrounding players woke up as if from a dream. Qian Li Yi Zui should have more than a hundred PK points on him now, right? Wouldn't he directly drop to his twenties and lose even his underwear? The mages launched their spells one after another. In the narrow encirclement, there was no chance to dodge. But at this time, Gu Fei suddenly flashed with white light and disappeared quickly.

"What's going on?" Everyone was confused again.

"Teleportation scroll?"

"Impossible, teleportation scrolls aren't that fast. We've been guarding against teleportation scrolls all along."

"Then he couldn't have committed suicide, right?"

"It doesn't seem like it..."

"Damn it, what's going on? Where are the people? Where did everyone go?" All the surrounding players were going crazy. The players in the field had clearly disappeared in white light, but no one could be found.

"Damn it, where's the inside man, where did the inside man go?" Suddenly someone remembered something.

"I sent a message, but it can't be sent. He's clearly online, and it doesn't say that he's turned off messaging!" someone said.

"You idiot, why didn't you say so earlier? He's in jail, in jail!!!"
