Chapter 1 The Lull

Chen Yehui was a veteran of many battles with years of experience. Although he wanted to know the details from Jin Xiang, he immediately knew that the situation was not good when he saw no reply. This was obviously because the situation had become so critical that there was no time to type a reply.

What exactly did Ye Qiu and Deception do to force half a guild into such a state?

While Chen Yehui was surprised, he was also cautious. He immediately told Tian Nanxing and Chun Yi Lao the news.

"What? How did they run over there?"

The two guild leaders were shocked when they heard this. They didn't know that the two had escaped under Chen Yehui's deliberate arrangement. According to their planned encirclement and suppression, even if the other party ran out, they shouldn't have run out without any movement at all. After all, they would have been seen.

The two guild leaders had been thinking that Lord Grim and Deception were still within their encirclement!

The search area was becoming more and more concentrated, and success seemed to be just around the corner. Both of them couldn't help but feel excited. But now, Chen Yehui sent such a message. When the two of them looked at the electronic map, the coordinates were far away from their search circle.

"Who knows what's going on! A team from our side is entangled with them and is fighting. Are there any people nearby?" Chen Yehui was extremely cunning. When he realized that the situation over there was not right, but he didn't know the specific situation, he didn't act rashly. Instead, he asked the people from these two guilds to test the waters first.

The two guild leaders were completely deceived by Chen Yehui this time. They didn't expect so many twists and turns.

"Let me take a look." The two of them responded like this and immediately called out in the guild.

"I have a team here!" Tian Nanxing quickly said.

"Your people should go to support them quickly, and our people will arrive immediately," Chen Yehui said.

"Another encirclement, what a hassle." Tian Nanxing was still feeling depressed about this. He thought that Lord Grim and Deception would kill if they had the chance and run if they didn't, engaging in guerrilla warfare. The situation on Jin Xiang's side was very tragic. Although Chen Yehui didn't receive accurate information, he was certain of it, but he didn't say anything to these two.

This Ye Qiu was indeed specifically targeting the people of Jia Dynasty. Was he taking revenge? Jia Dynasty was really useless, still unable to catch him. Tian Nanxing was still thinking about this in his heart. He was happy to see the people of Jia Dynasty suffer a bit, but he was getting a little impatient with this endless torment.

Street corner.

Jin Xiang and the other six finally couldn't hold on any longer. However, this time, because the other party didn't gather them together for an AoE (area-of-effect), the situation deteriorated at different times. Just as the first one completely collapsed, they saw a team of people turning out from the front of the street.

The people over there saw the commotion here and rushed over quickly. Jin Xiang and the others were initially overjoyed, but then they realized that this was only half a team, and their hearts immediately sank.

Not to mention half a team, even a full team wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of these people!

But this half-team didn't have any awareness of this and charged up aggressively. Everyone could see clearly that they were from Zhongcaotang.

The activity squads were basically in groups of five. This group was no exception. They received a greeting from the guild leader himself, and they quickly came in the direction of the coordinates. Before they reached the coordinates, they saw a scene of chaos at an intersection. This desolate Level 55 leveling area was usually deserted. What else could be happening?

So the five people rushed over without seeing too clearly, and when they got closer, they immediately saw the names Lord Grim and Deception. Looking around, there were more than ten people besides these two. They had a clear advantage in numbers!

The five people rushed up excitedly, but when they got closer, they suddenly realized that something was wrong. It seemed that not all of the ten or so people were surrounding Lord Grim and Deception. Here, two teams were fighting.

"What's going on?" The captain of the five-man team exclaimed in surprise. Then, he saw several members of the Jia Dynasty guild falling down one after another. And the ones who dealt with them had empty guild tags above their heads.

These people conveniently picked up the equipment dropped by these people and then rushed towards their half of the team without resting.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…

The small captain counted. Damn, there were actually seven of them, two more than them. What's more, there were experts like Lord Grim and Deception. How could they fight? Let's run! The small captain sent a message to their guild leader: "There are a lot of them, seven!"

This one message cost a bloody price.

The eight words took the small captain an unknown amount of time to type out and send, but with just this brief delay, the other party had already rolled up.

"You guys go first!"

The small captain was very righteous. Seeing that he definitely had no way to retreat, he immediately said this explosive line with great emotion. Then, he fell.

That's right, he fell.

He shouted a line, but did nothing.

The small captain felt like he was a stalk of rice, and what was rushing towards him was a swarm of locusts. The locusts swept through, he was lonely, he was desolate, his rice stalk was empty, and he had been eliminated.

"What the hell is going on!" The small captain's soul, which had already flown into the sky, stared incredulously at the bottom. Those seven people were pouncing on the other four members of his team like hungry wolves.

What were they trying to do? Even fighting a Boss wouldn't require such enthusiasm, right?

The small captain wanted to wait for a guild's healer to come and resurrect him, but instead, he witnessed a tragedy.

The other four members of the team couldn't actually leave because of his "You go first." The seven people chasing after them quickly unleashed their rapid movement abilities, using their skills appropriately. In the blink of an eye, they had blocked the four of them.

What followed was a confrontation.

A confrontation between blades and mouths.

Because the poor four-man team could only shout and curse, they couldn't do anything else. They were quickly caught up by their opponents and knocked down. In the end, they became four corpses on the ground, and their souls floated in the air. However, souls couldn't see each other. Only the bodies remained on the ground, so the souls were inevitably above the bodies.

"What? Seven people?"

Chen Yehui and Tian Nanxing received this message almost simultaneously.

Jin Xiang was killed before she could send a message. And the heroic small captain was killed shortly after Jin Xiang.

"Seven people, what's going on?" Tian Nanxing questioned Chen Yehui with a somewhat accusatory tone. Chen Yehui hadn't said a word about such a situation.

"I just found out." Chen Yehui said helplessly, "The intelligence didn't say anything before, just called for help."

Tian Nanxing didn't say much. This wasn't the time to be angry and settle scores.

"Besides Lord Grim and Deception, who else is there?" The two guild leaders asked almost the same question at this time.

"I don't recognize them. There are five people I don't recognize. They don't have a guild, and their names are unfamiliar."

The answers they received were the same.

Chen Yehui suddenly became terrified because he realized that Ye Qiu was surrounded by a group of very impressive experts, whose level was comparable to professional players, and who might be the members of his future professional team.

And Jin Xiang's detailed description of the opponent's strength made Chen Yehui even more convinced.

This kind of explosive power that completely suppressed their major guild wasn't at the professional level, but it wasn't far from it! A quick AoE attack required a considerable degree of coordination. Perhaps only the tacit understanding of professional players could be so powerful in a PvP fight.

Could these people, with their current manpower, stop them?

Killing 12 people in 1 minute meant that, facing their current small-team interception, the other party could break through with crushing force.

Three people faced Lord Grim and Deception, and the team was wiped out.

Five people faced Lord Grim and Deception, two were killed, and the rest escaped.

Now they had to face seven people. What kind of lineup should they use? At least a 25-person lineup didn't seem to be a match in a head-on confrontation.

If they couldn't kill them, it meant they couldn't stop them. Entangle them? They could entangle one or two people because the damage of one or two people was limited. But now there were seven people. Two focused attacks could kill one person. Coupled with the other party's powerful AoE tactics, entangling them was almost the same as sending them to their deaths.

There was no way, no way...

Chen Yehui already felt a headache, but Tian Nanxing and Chun Yi Lao clearly hadn't understood that Jin Xiang had been killed by half of the team. Crushing five people wasn't surprising! The other party had experts like Lord Grim and Deception, and they had a numerical advantage. Five people were certainly no match.

"Merge the teams, with the entire team as a unit, and speed it up!" The two guild leaders were transmitting instructions.

The entire team was a ten-person team. Before, they were in units of five, but now they were preparing to use ten people as a counter-unit to launch a counterattack.

"Perhaps they think they can defeat us one by one. Let's quickly gather our manpower and not show our hand until they enter our attack range, then we'll annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Tian Nanxing and Chun Yi Lao were discussing.

"Yes, not bad!" Chen Yehui voted in favor. He already knew how powerful this team was, so he seriously hoped that Tian Nanxing and Chun Yi Lao would also experience it in actual combat. To be honest, even giants like them in the guild didn't often have the opportunity to experience the combat power of professional-level teams. Occasionally, they would have the opportunity to play with their guild's professional players, but they would just treat it as fun, and no one would take it seriously.

"East 3rd Street, coming from the west!" Intelligence was sent.

"Don't act rashly, wait for them to go deeper. Great, it's just our search circle, the encirclement hasn't completely dispersed!" Tian Nanxing said with delight.

"Yes, yes!" Chen Yehui echoed while secretly sending messages. And the instructions he sent were only half of Tian Nanxing's, just one sentence: "Don't act rashly, wait for my instructions."
