Chapter 232 The Situation

"Feng Shuang, a wanted mission?" Qiao Qiqiao turned back to ask Bao Du Feng Shuang. Qian Li Yi Zui's enthusiasm for wanted missions was world-renowned, but Qiao Qiqiao didn't understand why he would come all the way here to hunt Bao Du Feng Shuang. However, wanted missions were also a system-set task mode, so players who clashed because of this naturally didn't have any grudges. However, if grudges were formed because of this, that was another matter entirely.

"Wanted mission my ass! If he wanted to hunt me, would he need to bring a helper?" Bao Du Feng Shuang saw through the essence of the matter at a glance. If Qian Li Yi Zui really wanted to hunt him, he would be more than enough alone. Why would he need to bring a woman as a helper? This red-clad female thief looked very tough; she was probably Xi Yao Wu, who was said to have a good relationship with Qian Li Yi Zui. The matter was obvious: Qian Li Yi Zui used the wanted mission to lock onto his coordinates, and then Xi Yao Wu would deliver the fatal blow. The wanted mission was just their means of capturing his location.

"He saw through it," Xi Yao Wu said.

"Then I have no choice but to admit it. But actually, I said it was a wanted mission for everyone's benefit," Gu Fei said.

"Oh?" Qiao Qiqiao was still stalling for time!

"Because no one wants to lose a level!" Gu Fei said.

Arrogant! Qiao Qiqiao thought to himself, but said aloud, "That's right, that's right. How about we all stop fighting and go home?"

"Yes, you go back!" Gu Fei said.

"Everyone go back!" Qiao Qiqiao said with a dry laugh. The stalling was becoming increasingly pointless.

"What are you talking about!" Xi Yao Wu finally couldn't hold back anymore, drawing her dagger and charging out, commanding, "You don't have enough PK value, right? Leave these to me."

"I can handle a few," Gu Fei said after checking his PK value. "Don't let the main target escape."

"Hahaha, how can he escape? Flying?" Xi Yao Wu laughed. Bao Du Feng Shuang's speed was nothing in her eyes; she could give him a head start of a few hundred meters.

Bao Du Feng Shuang was somewhat embarrassed at this moment. How much he wanted to take advantage of Qiao Qiqiao's stalling to slip away! But he really couldn't bring himself to do such a thing. Bao Du Feng Shuang didn't have the face to do such a thing, so he gritted his teeth and roared, "Let's fight!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and waved his staff. Gu Fei quickly reminded Xi Yao Wu, "Be careful of his skill." That skill was, of course, the Lei Guang Zhen (Lightning Array). Gu Fei had already explained the characteristics of this skill to her when they came together.

"Don't block my way!!!" Xi Yao Wu shouted and used her best skill, a swift change of direction. Qiao Qiqiao was considered a master in the main city, but the partners around him were just so-so players. There were good ones, average ones, and bad ones. There was a considerable gap when facing Xi Yao Wu. After Xi Yao Wu dashed past in a zigzag line, she stabbed three people. The three people all turned pale; they had obviously never seen a player with such powerful damage. They had their eyes opened today.

When it came to movement speed in the game, excluding teleportation, it would be Xi Yao Wu in full sprint. Bao Du Feng Shuang's Lei Guang Zhen was now behind her. Even a master like Bao Du Feng Shuang had underestimated Xi Yao Wu's speed. The formation that Qiao Qiqiao and his group had set up hardly had any effect. It was lucky that they weren't killed in the process of trying to block her.

Xi Yao Wu ran right up to Bao Du Feng Shuang and stabbed him. Bao Du Feng Shuang staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Looks like it would have been enough for you to come alone!" Gu Fei also wanted to block, but he had already teleported over in an instant and stood side by side with Xi Yao Wu in front of Bao Du Feng Shuang.

"Nonsense, I only brought you along to point the way," Xi Yao Wu said without any smugness. It was just killing a mage; what was there to be proud of?

Xi Yao Wu raised her knife, ready to stab Bao Du Feng Shuang, but Gu Fei suddenly supported her wrist.

"What?" Xi Yao Wu asked.

"He has PK value. He'll drop two levels with each death. If he drops again, he'll be level 39. It's kind of pitiful," Gu Fei said.

"Can't bring yourself to do it? Stop kidding. Who in this world has killed more people than you? I don't know how many people you've killed who have dropped below level 40," Xi Yao Wu said.

"The situation is different... There's no need for it!" Gu Fei said.

"Then what should we do?" Xi Yao Wu said.

"Go to jail!" Gu Fei waved his hand, and a sword light and firelight took Bao Du Feng Shuang away, filled with astonishment. Xi Yao Wu was furious, "What did I come here for?"

"You insisted on coming yourself," Gu Fei said. Xi Yao Wu had heard that Gu Fei was going to run to a distant main city to hunt down a target and insisted on coming along because she thought it would be fun.

Qiao Qiqiao's team was in a daze. They wanted to help, but it seemed like they hadn't helped at all. The two opponents just passed through their blockade at will, and Bao Du Feng Shuang was killed just like that, without even saying goodbye. The only thing they could be happy about for him was that it seemed like it was just a wanted mission in the end, and he didn't have to drop below level 40. Qiao Qiqiao even sent a message to Bao Du Feng Shuang, but it couldn't be delivered, indicating that it was all true.

But what should they do now? Avenge Bao Du Feng Shuang, or...?

"Let's go." Qiao Qiqiao was still lost in thought when he saw Qian Li Yi Zui wave to him and leave with that woman.

"This... this..." Qiao Qiqiao was dumbfounded. He seemed to have done something, but it seemed like he hadn't done anything at all. What exactly was going on?

Gu Fei left but didn't rush back to Yun Duan City. His PK value was already quite high. It was rare to come to a main city, so it was only right to wash it off.

At this time, Yun Duan City was a completely different scene. Wu Shi Zhi Jian led his men to desperately defend, but in the end, they were losing more and more people. He didn't know about Gu Fei's rampage outside. He just felt that the pressure was getting greater and greater. He sent messages urging for reinforcements whenever he had the chance. Everyone online in the guild had already said that they were rushing over as quickly as possible. Wu Shi Zhi Jian could only pray silently in his heart.

"Taking them down is only a matter of time," Zai Lai Yi Ci said in the team channel. Bao Du Feng Shuang had died and returned, leaving the team. But everyone didn't immediately re-elect a commander to replace his position. Currently, everyone was resolving problems through negotiation. The battle situation was under their control, and there were no emergencies that required immediate command decisions.

"Where's Qian Li Yi Zui?"

As soon as this question was mentioned, everyone fell silent again. Qian Li Yi Zui would probably wash off his PK value and come back at some point. What should they do then? Would they just watch helplessly as he killed them, killed 29 more people, and then washed off his PK value? Were they just going to let him treat them as a killing supermarket?

"Perhaps, this is the only way... We have to bite the bullet and kill these people first. It'll be a sort of explanation to Ying Qi, right?" Someone said.

"Will Ying Qi be satisfied if we can't deal with Qian Li Yi Zui?" Another person said.

"Probably not very satisfied. How many points do you think we can score on this mission if we can't kill Qian Li Yi Zui?" One person said.

Everyone fell silent again. They all had a feeling that if Qian Li Yi Zui didn't die, Fei Chang Ni Tian could not be destroyed. They were all experienced online gamers and understood this situation very well. As long as there was a master who stood firm and never gave up, then this guild would eventually stand up again. In that case, it probably couldn't be considered as letting Ying Qi achieve his purpose, right? His purpose was clearly to hope that Fei Chang Ni Tian would disband, completely and thoroughly.

"A group of people came from the west street." In the silence, someone suddenly conveyed an enemy situation. The big shots all received intelligence from their subordinates and then brought it out to discuss together.

"How many people?" Zai Lai Yi Ci asked. During the time that Bao Du Feng Shuang was away, he and Yi Deng Di Wen made more of the decisions and instructions.

"Dozens of people. They've already engaged." The big shot in charge of the west street answered.

"Someone's coming from the east too."

"Someone's coming from the north!!"

"Enemy situation on two streets in the south at the same time."

"Wait, more people are coming from the east."

"West..."

"North..."

The same messages suddenly came up one after another. The big shots were all a little confused. They even suspected that it was because their subordinates were mixed together, so they were repeatedly reporting the same situation in one place. But in fact, the deployment and arrangement of their actions this time consciously avoided this situation from happening. Since the start of the battle, there hadn't been any instances of repeated intelligence confusing the situation, but what was going on now? How did so many groups of people suddenly appear? Just estimating the numbers, it was obvious that there were more people than Fei Chang Ni Tian should have.

"Could Fei Chang Ni Tian have some hidden allies?" Someone asked in surprise.

"That's impossible. We've already fully understood the power situation in Yun Duan City."

"Stop talking about that. What's the situation now!"

"The attack is very fierce. There are more of them than us. I can't hold on," someone shouted.

"I'm in danger too!!"

Bad news came one after another. Many streets could no longer be defended. And Wu Shi Zhi Jian and the others, who had been trapped in the middle, had finally waited for this moment. They immediately switched from defense to offense, actively responding and coordinating with the surrounding support.

"The situation is very wrong, very wrong!!" Yi Deng Di Wen said.

"We have to retreat," Zai Lai Yi Ci strongly supported this view.

"Scrolls? Break through?" Someone asked.

"Let's try breaking through outwards first," someone suggested. These scrolls were always being used, and it wasn't a solution. In the blink of an eye, the 20,000 gold coins that Ying Qi gave them were almost all used up on this, but they hadn't seen any progress on their mission, and they had lost a lot of manpower.

"They haven't blocked all the streets, have they?" Someone asked.

"Alas, we shouldn't have recalled the people scouting the outskirts!!" Someone said in frustration. After the anti-Qian Li Yi Zui operation failed, they cherished the little bit of time that the sacrifice of more than 20 people had bought them and mobilized all their personnel to quickly extinguish the opponent. The effect of strengthening personnel was indeed significant, but they didn't expect so many reinforcements to suddenly come. Judging from the comprehensive multi-channel intelligence, it was clear that they were now being attacked from both inside and outside.

"Yi Deng, have your people coordinate with mine!!"

"Everyone from the east come to xxx, xxx Street. There's no one here yet."

"The south is completely blocked. Is there any weak defense?"

There were also many voices in the team channel of the big shots. Everyone was looking for a way to break through. But with a system notification, after one person was automatically removed from the team, everyone finally realized that the severity of the situation had exceeded their imagination. Even masters of their level could die in the chaos if they weren't careful.

"I'm teleporting!!" Someone shouted in the team. Teleportation was not only a means of retreat but also meant that they could no longer provide any support to the other party afterward. Saying hello was also a kind of decency.

"I'm teleporting too."

"Me too."

The voices came one after another. With each teleportation, the overall strength decreased, and the burden on the remaining people increased. But who could care about who now? The later they teleported, the more critical the situation would be. A collective teleportation of hundreds of people was also a rare sight. Wu Shi Zhi Jian was currently leading his men to vent their anger, but when he saw the other party collectively running away, he was very distressed. He originally thought that the hard times were over and the time to make a big profit had finally arrived. Who knew that these spendthrifts would all use teleportation scrolls in such a generous way.

Of course, they interrupted those they could interrupt, and there was nothing they could do about those they couldn't. Wu Shi Zhi Jian commanded his subordinates and mercilessly killed the remaining pitiful players. He saw Gu Xiao Shang leading the team and happily went over, "Xiao Shang, you've come to save me."

"You idiot, how did you get into this mess?" Gu Xiao Shang said.

"Don't mention it. The other party was prepared! Their fixed-point teleportation was a trap," Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

"Were the losses big?"

"Not small. I hope there will be some compensation after this is over!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

"How will there be compensation?" Gu Xiao Shang asked suspiciously.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian immediately realized that he had slipped up. He had never revealed his猥琐(wěisuǒ - meaning 'base', 'low') idea of plotting for the equipment of these masters in front of Gu Xiao Shang. He was standing up for Yun Duan City and for the friends of Fei Chang Ni Tian. This was the image he was portraying in front of Gu Xiao Shang.

"Uh, by killing these guys to avenge the brothers who died!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

Gu Xiao Shang didn't ask any more questions and led his men to continue fighting. The two level 6 guilds now had nearly 2,000 people in attendance. They outnumbered their opponents and had better coordination than their opponents. The only thing was that their masters were not as numerous as their opponents', but the opponents' masters were not at Gu Fei's heaven-defying level either, so what could they do? The facts proved that teleporting earlier was the wisest decision. The later they teleported, the greater the losses would be.

The escaped big shots contacted each other to compare losses. Most of them had lost half of their men. Eight big shots had personally died, and losses such as dropped equipment were inevitable with such large-scale casualties. Everyone was a little desperate. What was the strength of Fei Chang Ni Tian? Was everything they had collected just a lie?

At this point, the big shots still didn't know that they were fighting a confused battle.
