Hu Die Lan
Chapter 474 A Way Out
"Say, where are you planning to run?" Ye Xiu asked. They had been running for a while, and Ye Xiu had always kept Lord Grim behind Deceitful Rain, but he couldn't figure out what this guy was up to.
"How much weight do you still have?" Seeing Deceitful Rain unwilling to reveal his intentions, Ye Xiu changed the question.
But Deceitful Rain remained silent, just running his own way. Then he heard a gunshot from behind, extremely close! Deceitful Rain was also someone who came from crowds and went through crowds, and he was quite good at judging by sound. Hearing that something was wrong, he quickly rolled on the spot. Looking back, he saw Lord Grim holding a smoking gun!
"What are you doing!" Deceitful Rain was furious.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear anything," Ye Xiu said.
"..." Deceitful Rain wanted to fight this guy, but the situation didn't allow it. The pursuers behind them had gotten much closer during this back-and-forth, and the Gunners were firing wildly. A team of people was coming from the front of the street, ready for battle. The situation was quite serious.
Deceitful Rain didn't waste any time with Ye Xiu. After taking a few more steps, he turned and jumped onto the roof on the side.
"Old brother, your intention is too low-level, right? Aren't you afraid of an ambush?" This time, Ye Xiu didn't follow. Lord Grim stood on the street and asked Deceitful Rain, who was about to get on the roof.
Deceitful Rain still didn't speak. He jumped up, stuck his ninja blade into the wall, and squatted to borrow strength. His movements were extremely smooth.
"Cross halfway, strike the middle stream. Ever heard of it?" Ye Xiu was still talking, but Deceitful Rain ignored him.
"Climbing the wall is the same principle," Ye Xiu continued.
Deceitful Rain still wanted to ignore him, but suddenly, a bright light flashed before his eyes, and he immediately knew something was wrong. He didn't dare to continue jumping up. He kicked off the wall and backflipped. He saw a Satellite Beam descend from the sky, hitting the spot where Deceitful Rain had just been on the wall. The air currents from the Satellite Beam made Deceitful Rain's backflip even further. He used a Ukemi to steady himself when he landed. Obviously, although he wasn't directly hit, he was still affected by the ultimate skill. If it weren't for his skills, he would have been lying on the ground by now.
"Not bad at dodging," Ye Xiu praised. The small rays after the Satellite Beam swirled toward him, but he weaved through them with ease and dodged them happily.
"Where are you planning to jump next?" Ye Xiu asked Deceitful Rain while dodging.
"If you have an idea, say it quickly!" Deceitful Rain was annoyed. After the Satellite Beam, he had seen people standing on the roof over there. Although there weren't many, climbing the wall required some effort. Having a few people sniping from a high position was enough.
Deceitful Rain looked around and saw that all possible exits were guarded. He was a little puzzled. This wasn't the first time he'd been a scavenger. There were times when he picked up more than today, but he hadn't seen any guild making such a big fuss. What was going on today? Did he pick up something really important?
Deceitful Rain was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He had seen all the equipment when he picked it up and didn't remember finding anything particularly amazing. Seeing the formation chasing him, he began to doubt his memory and couldn't help but open his inventory to take another look. As a result, there was nothing amazing enough to shock the world.
"Actually, there are exits everywhere. It just depends on whether you have the ability to break through," Ye Xiu said.
"Stop talking nonsense, will you?" Deceitful Rain was anxious! The guys on the roofs on both sides were putting on a defensive stance, and the streets were blocked on one side and closing in on the other, creating a truly inescapable situation.
"I'll demonstrate for you," Ye Xiu said. Just as the Satellite Beam attacks ended, his character suddenly rushed out, following the exact same route that Deceitful Rain had taken, without changing a single bit.
Deceitful Rain was stunned, but he didn't have time to think about it. He had to follow suit and rush over as well.
Lord Grim jumped up before reaching the wall. The players on the roof wouldn't just watch. They used whatever means they could to attack.
Lord Grim raised his Thousand Chance Umbrella above his head. With a few clicks, it turned into a propeller. He used the Mechanic's Mechanical Rotor skill and even made a few strange drifts in the air, dodging all the attacks.
Deceitful Rain was depressed!
What kind of bullshit demonstration was that? He flew up in a helicopter, but they were ninjas. Where did they get a mechanical rotor?
The depressed Deceitful Rain had no choice but to jump onto the wall again, using his ninja blade to climb. He saw an Elementalist in a robe on the roof waving his staff at him mercilessly.
Deceitful Rain was about to jump away to dodge when he heard a series of gunshots. The Elementalist's body bloomed with blood, and he staggered. The spell didn't come out.
Deceitful Rain was overjoyed and quickly climbed higher. He glanced at Lord Grim and saw a scene that he thought was impossible.
Lord Grim used Mechanical Rotor to fly into the air but couldn't find a place to land. The skill time for Mechanical Rotor was up, so he simply sprayed a Gatling Gun in the air, helping Deceitful Rain interrupt the spell that was about to knock him down. He also used the recoil of the bullets to glide in the air.
After interrupting the Elementalist's spell, the bullets swept toward the other players, making them unsteady. However, the recoil from the sweeping caused Lord Grim to drift even further away from the roof.
But no matter what, the situation on the roof gave Deceitful Rain a good opportunity to break through.
Deceitful Rain felt a bit dazed. Seeing Lord Grim drifting further and further away, he couldn't believe that this guy was sacrificing himself to create an opportunity for him to break through.
"What are you dodging for? You won't die!" At this moment, a roar came from somewhere. Obviously, someone had seen that the guys on the roof weren't blocking effectively and was telling them not to worry too much about the damage from the attacks, just to stop them from landing on the roof.
The guards on the roof were jolted awake. Avoiding attacks was an unconscious habit, especially for experts. The players in the Realm of Gods were from the big guilds, so they naturally had this habit.
So, Deceitful Rain completed his final jump and swung his blade to force back the players blocking his way as he landed on the roof. A Gunner in front of him ignored Deceitful Rain's close-range attack. He waved his hand cannon and used the Gunner's lowest-level skill, Bash, to try to collide with Deceitful Rain. He didn't care how much damage he took, as long as he could knock Deceitful Rain down.
"Not good!" Deceitful Rain knew something was wrong, but it was too late to change his attack. He could only pray for good luck. Then he heard the sound of a sword. A silver light flashed beside him. It was Lord Grim, single-handedly wielding his sword, performing a Falling Light Blade from mid-air.
"Join the team!"
Deceitful Rain heard the guy shout and a team invite popped up in front of him.
Without hesitation, Deceitful Rain unleashed his maximum hand speed, doing nothing but frantically clicking "Accept," praying that he wouldn't be too slow.
He knew that this Falling Light Blade could resolve the current situation. But if he didn't have damage immunity from being on the same team as Lord Grim, this Falling Light Blade would knock him back down to the street below.
Was it done?
In that instant, Deceitful Rain couldn't tell whether he clicked "Accept" faster or Lord Grim's sword fell faster.
The moment the sword touched the ground, the shockwave from the Falling Light Blade spread out. The Gunner was the first to be hit, flipping over backward. He quickly performed a Ukemi to avoid falling, but he lost the opportunity to block.
What about Deceitful Rain?
Deceitful Rain finally landed steadily on the roof. He completed the team invite before the Falling Light Blade landed.
"Not slow!" Deceitful Rain heard Lord Grim say again. After landing with Falling Light Blade, this guy rolled and immediately chased after the Gunner.
Deceitful Rain suddenly realized something. Just now, that guy sprayed the Gatling Gun in the air, pushing his body further away. How did he suddenly flash to his side?
Deceitful Rain looked back and saw Lord Grim's figure behind him, helplessly falling down.
"Shadow Clone Technique!" Deceitful Rain was a ninja, so he was very familiar with this skill.
Using Shadow Clone Technique as a teleportation skill in mid-air, then using Falling Light Blade to quickly position himself, and sending a team invite during the process...
Deceitful Rain wasn't a newbie. He knew how difficult it was to complete such a series of operations in the air.
"There are exits everywhere. It just depends on whether you have the ability to break through."
Deceitful Rain suddenly remembered that guy's boastful words just now. Now it seemed that although this guy used several classes' skills to get on the roof, which was impossible for any single class, just the fact that he managed to complete such a series of operations in mid-air, allowing his character to float and soar in the air for so long, was something that not just anyone could do.
"Who exactly is this person?" Deceitful Rain was wondering when he heard that guy shout again: "Are you just going to stand there and wait to die? Come over and help."
Deceitful Rain quickly dashed out, and sure enough, someone had already launched an attack on where he was about to land. Deceitful Rain was scared. How could he be distracted at such a crucial moment!
Looking ahead, he saw the Gunner being overwhelmed by Lord Grim in close combat.
"What do you want to do?" Deceitful Rain couldn't understand why this guy, having already come up here, wasn't seizing the time to find a route to escape and was instead messing around with the Gunner.
"I want to scavenge!" He heard that guy reply, then he kicked the Gunner off the roof with a Boxer's Front Kick. He flew down, determined to kill this person.
