Chapter 577: The Enemy Advances, We Retreat
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Liuyun, stall for time!” Seeing all his men collapsing one after the other, Hidden Lurker whispered to Nian Liuyun before hiding behind him.
Nian Liuyun extended both arms as he welcomed Boson and co.
Crotch Lord was the first to attack. Wielding his massive shield and job advantage, he charged at Nian Liuyun. However, because of Nian Liuyun’s high judgement ability, he managed to grab his shield with both arms and threw Crotch Lord to one side.
At this point, Boson’s two-handed sword also arrived at the back of Nian Liuyun’s head. It was almost as though Nian Liuyun had eyes at the back of his eyes as he reacted promptly. He caught hold of Boson’s sword as he brought it to Vainglory’s thigh. In one move, he managed to force the two of them to back off.
“F*ck! I didn’t think this fella is actually quite skillful...” Seeing how ferocious Nian Liuyun, Fearless couldn’t help but praise.
While Boson and Vainglory were not as ridiculously strong as Wang Yu, they were still considered two top experts. It was truly incredible that both of them were forced back after just one move by Nian Liuyun.
Even Yang Nuo, who was still on the tree, let out an ‘Oh’ when she saw Nian Liuyun’s skills. Evidently, even she was surprised at his agility.
“Nonsense! This kid is stronger than all of you combined!” Wang Yu didn’t hold back when he saw that his sect mates were looking down on Nian Liuyun.
Everyone replied with an unhappy tone, “Why are you not included?”
Wang Yu replied, “All of you plus Nian Liuyun is still not a match for me.”
“F*ck! Praising yourself? How shameless can you get?” Everyone pointed their middle finger at Wang Yu concurrently.
As they spoke, Nian Liuyun grappled and tossed as he managed to match all five of them. Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher exchanged glances as they entered [Stealth] mode.
Nian Liuyun jumped back as he jumped to the side of Hidden Lurker. As he grabbed Hidden Lurker and swung him to the side, Frost Blade was sent flying. At the same time, Darknorth Fisher quietly appeared behind Nian Liuyun. Nian Liuyun let go of Hidden Lurker, who was in his hands, as he threw an elbow even without looking back.
Wang Yu saw the situation clearly, so he shouted to warn, “Old Fish, hurry up and retreat!”
Darknorth Fisher was in the prime position for Nian Liuyun to execute his [Neck-smashing Elbow].
“??”
Darknorth Fisher and Hidden Lurker looked at Wang Yu together while Nian Liuyun had already grabbed onto Darknorth Fisher’s wrist. His right foot stepped firmly on Darknorth Fisher’s foot as his elbow swung backwards viciously. Darknorth Fisher was knocked out immediately before Nian Liuyun’s fist smashed Darknorth Fisher’s neck.
At the very last minute, Wang Yu flashed and appeared between the two of them. Wang Yu managed to fetch the moon from the seabed as he dragged Nian Liuyun, who was about to smash Darknorth Fisher’s neck, out.
Nian Liuyun swung his fists in an attempt to retaliate, but Wang Yu’s reaction was faster. Wang Yu’s fist was the one that smashed Nian Liuyun’s neck and he was instantly turned into white light.
“...”
Everyone from the Quan Zhen Sect was lost for words. This fella really killed Nian Liuyun within seconds.
Boson and co. suffered the greatest emotional setback... Just earlier on, the five of them were playing around with the hundreds of players from two big guilds but was tossed around like toys by a single Nian Liuyun. Who would have imagined that the moment Wang Yu acted, he slaughtered Nian Liuyun...
Initially, these fellas thought that just because they were of higher levels and equipped with better equipment, they could close the gap between themselves and Wang Yu. Who knew that the difference was still so evident?
“What are you staring at? Continue staring at me and I will gouge your eyes out!” Wang Yu glared at Hidden Lurker as he shouted at him in an enraged tone.
Wang Yu’s glare made Hidden Lurker feel very awkward and frightened.
“Fighting with so many men? Are you trying to gain an unfair advantage here...” Hidden Lurker avoided Wang Yu’s glare as he turned to look at Fearless.
Fearless laughed, “So many men? Haha, you’re really shameless right?”
Hidden Lurker’s face turned red as he refused to respond. Surrounding eleven players with one thousand of them. Even though they had an ulterior motive, the difference in manpower was definitely significant.
“Speaking of which, how on earth did you get the Berserk Heavenlaw’s players to fight so bravely for you?” Fearless asked.
There is a reason for everything that happens. Fearless understood why the United Alliance’s players were after them, but he couldn’t understand why the Berserk Heavenlaw’s players were also chasing them. Fearless didn’t wish to leave without figuring out the reason for this.
“Haha!” Hidden Lurker took in a deep breath before smiling, “Do you want to know how?”
“No, I don’t!” Fearless waved his hand at Ming Du, who was on the tree. Hidden Lurker was turned into dust by lightning as a ring fell onto the ground.
“Eh? Why did you kill him without getting an answer?” Vainglory was confused.
“Tsk!” Fearless grunted, “I’m certain he will not tell us anything. He might even be trying to stall for time.”
Vainglory didn’t really understand but nodded either way. He looked at the ring on the ground, “This... He did drop an item. So I guess he didn’t die for nothing. Hehe...” Vainglory said as he was about to pick up the item.
“Bang!” Explosive lightning landed beside Vainglory as Ming Du jumped down from the tree. Ming Du stared at Vainglory before warning him, “Try moving one more step forward and this lightning will land on your head.”
...
After saying that, Ming Du walked forward to pick up the ring.
Explosive Lightning Ring (Ring) (Silver)
Physical Attack: 12-24
Magic Attack: 27-35
Explosive Lightning: Explosive Lightning Skill level +1
Electric Touch: Electric attributes increase by 17.
After seeing the attributes of the ring, Ming Du put it into his finger without hesitation.
Dropped jewelry type equipment would rank the lowest in the main equipment list. When a silver grade ring was placed in the market, it would fetch a price of a gold equipment.
This Explosive Lightning Ring would not only increase explosive lightning skill level by 1, it would also increase a person electric attributes. This was considered quite a rare item.
After putting on the ring, a proud Ming Du said, “I didn’t realise that Berserk Thunder City is actually such a nice place.”
“Ohh? What do you mean by that?”
Ming Du displayed his own attributes as he said, “See this? On the way here, I’ve killed a lot of men and picked up many equipment. My electric attribute has already increased to 100.”
“... Could this place be specialised to drop explosive lightning equipment? No wonder everyone here is lightning attributed and is so ferocious.” Everyone clicked their tongue in wonder. A hundred point increase in electric attributes would be a 100% increase in damage. It seemed like there was a reason for the culture in Berserk Thunder City.
“Alright, stop being so arrogant.” At this moment, Fearless suddenly mentioned, “Thunderstorm City and Ironcliff Fortress is not too far from here. They would definitely return after they resurrected. If they returned, it would definitely not be in this scale anymore.”
“So what if they come again? We’ll kill them again!” Ming Du smiled and his eyes lit up as he heard that two big guilds were coming to them again. This fella actually treated the people from Berserk Heavenlaw and United Alliance like small monsters.
“Kill your head! Have you watched the <<On the Protracted War>>?” Fearless scolded Ming Du.
“Yes, I have...”
Fearless replied, “With the few of us, we will definitely not be able to keep up with them. Leaving after pretending that we can is the true way of the king.”
“Leave? Where to? Can we still leave the forest?” Spring Halo furrowed his brows.
With people blocking out both sides, the forest was the safest place.
Fearless smiled, “If equally matched, we can offer battle; if slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy; if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him. We still have somewhere safer than this forest!”
“Where?”
“Offline!”
