All were in a state of stunned silence.

Bai Shi Jing Lun's appearance lasted less than a minute, and Jian Nan You's group of six were all beaten down. Jian Nan You himself was directly killed. Even though the six were now mentally disoriented and scattered, they were still considered experts. The result was such a disappointing defeat. The remaining five, not yet dead, lay prostrate on the ground, unsure whether to get up or not.

Getting up meant death, and not getting up also meant death. In this situation, was there still a chance to fight for a bit of face? No! Not at all. Fighting Bai Shi Jing Lun would only bring humiliation. How could they regain any dignity? The six shared the same thoughts, the same dejected slump on the ground. Their bodies weren't dead, but their spirits were.

Bai Shi Jing Lun was, of course, in very good spirits. He held out his hand to the Han Family Young Master and said, "He's been killed once. Pay up!"

"How much?" asked the Han Family Young Master.

"You guys decide!" Bai Shi Jing Lun was truly simple and honest.

So, the Han Family Young Master nodded and reached into his pocket. Bai Shi Jing Lun waited eagerly to receive his salary, radiating with joy. After a long moment, the Han Family Young Master pulled out a bottle from his pocket and placed it in Bai Shi Jing Lun's hand.

Bai Shi Jing Lun was taken aback. "What's this?"

"Wine. It's on me," said the Han Family Young Master.

"Where's the money?" asked Bai Shi Jing Lun.

"Don't have any right now," said the Han Family Young Master. "Take this wine as payment for now."

"Huh?" Bai Shi Jing Lun was dazed.

"This wine costs 200 gold coins a bottle in the tavern," said the Han Family Young Master, realizing that Bai Shi Jing Lun didn't seem to recognize the value of the wine.

"That expensive?!" Bai Shi Jing Lun was indeed greatly surprised. He rarely went to places like taverns and hadn't paid attention to such things, so he didn't know that wine could be so expensive. Now, realizing the value of the wine, he quickly and carefully hugged it tightly, as if it were a precious treasure, and stowed it away in his pocket.

"I made 200 gold coins so easily!" Bai Shi Jing Lun thought, very excited. Being a professional gamer was indeed a good way to make a living.

Jian Gui and You Ge stared wide-eyed at him. Bai Shi Jing Lun's contented expression astonished them. Two hundred gold coins was a price for hiring someone to casually kill a passerby. But they had just killed Jian Nan You, a top expert in the game. It should have been at least 500 gold coins! Moreover, Jian Nan You had a team that was always with him. All these objective factors should have been taken into account. If Jian Gui and You Ge had been the ones to set the price for this action, it would have been at least eight hundred to a thousand gold coins.

But Bai Shi Jing Lun was fine with just 200 gold coins, and not even in cash, but with wine as a check.

The Han Family Young Master shrugged at the two of them, making a "don't blame me" gesture.

"What about these guys? Do you want me to take care of them for you?" Bai Shi Jing Lun pointed to the remaining five who had given up resisting.

"No need, we'll do it ourselves!" the Han Family Young Master said quickly. They didn't need an assassin anymore; an executioner would do. It was just a waste of money to hire someone for this.

Having lost their will to resist, the five, devoid of any ability to fight back, were easily killed by Jian Gui, who circled around them and stabbed each one without any mercy. Today's battle had severely damaged Jian Nan You's group of seven. After dropping out of the top five and top ten last time, this time everyone had fallen below level 40, and they would inevitably be depressed for a while. This was just the loss of levels and experience. As for when their psychological wounds would heal, that depended on each individual's fate.

After dealing with Jian Nan You's group, the next target was the Boss. This could be considered an unexpected reward. He hadn't thought that chasing Jian Nan You would come with this bonus. They really were bandits; they had a natural sense for the valuable stuff.

As they were thinking this, two figures appeared in the mist, one large and one small, one tall and one short, hurrying into their field of vision. As soon as they saw the group, the two, one holding a giant sword in each hand, the other drawing back his bow, shouted together, "Where's Jian Nan You? Come out and fight us to the death!!!"

Everyone stared at the two of them.

"Where are they? Where are they?" Zhan Wu Shang shouted.

"It's already over," Jian Gui told him calmly.

"What??" The two experts were surprised. They looked around nervously and asked, "What about the Boss?"

"That's still..." Jian Gui wiped his sweat. So, these two were worried about this.

"Oh, why is Bai Shi Jing Lun here?" Zhan Wu Shang saw Bai Shi Jing Lun.

"Hi, how are you doing?" Bai Shi Jing Lun had just made 200 gold coins and was very satisfied. He greeted the two.

"Where's the Boss? Where's the Boss?" Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted.

"Ask Qian Li!" said Jian Gui.

So, the two changed their shouts to the channel. However, Gu Fei was probably entangled with the Boss and didn't reply for a long time. So, everyone hurried to eat and recover their stats, waiting to strike the Boss.

At this time, a weak voice came from a corner of the field, "I found that Boss!"

Shou Fa Ruan (Soft Hands)...

When Jian Nan You and the others began to fight desperately to break out, he had followed behind them, but after the battle began, he had wisely stood aside. Jian Gui and the others hadn't bothered to pay attention to him. Even after Bai Shi Jing Lun appeared and beat everyone down, he had uniquely ignored him, mainly because he had the demeanor of a spectator who was standing aside and not helping either side.

Now, seeing that these guys had cleaned up Jian Nan You and were preparing to go after the Boss, he finally couldn't help but say something.

Everyone looked at him. Shou Fa Ruan really did have soft hands. He had seen with his own eyes how Jian Nan You, who was originally a peerless expert in his eyes, had been driven crazy by these guys.

The Han Family Young Master walked up to his side, patted him, and said, "Newbie, you should hurry back to the main city! The Boss is very dangerous."

Shou Fa Ruan was depressed. Although he was dissatisfied, what could he do? He could only pitifully ask, "Can I watch?"

The Han Family Young Master didn't say anything, but just gave an indifferent expression.

Everyone was ready. At this time, Gu Fei also sent a message with only two words: "Waiting!"

Gu Fei's efficiency was extremely high. Just after he said those two words, he flew out of the mist. This time, he was more disheveled than ever before. At least every time before, he had blocked the Mist Assassin's attacks, but he couldn't neutralize the force and was knocked away. This time, as he flew through the air, he clearly left a trail of blood as a mark. From the parallel world simulation system, this amount of bleeding already meant that Gu Fei was seriously injured. Obviously, he had been hit by the Mist Assassin after all.

The Han Family Young Master quickly and accurately cast a Recovery spell on Gu Fei. A gray figure was swaying in the mist. Zhan Wu Shang shouted, "Here it comes!" He took a step forward, wanting to intercept it, but just as he took that step, the gray figure flashed past him. Zhan Wu Shang's head turned extremely quickly, his eyes following the Mist Assassin's figure as he exclaimed, "So fast!"

Yu Tian Shen Ming, who had just seen the Mist Assassin's skills, was also extremely surprised. He was bending his bow, preparing to fire an arrow, but the Mist Assassin was so fast that it made him dizzy. He didn't know how to aim at all. Yu Tian Shen Ming finally released the string and fired a Tracking Arrow, but the arrow flew straight out, obviously without a locked target. The Mist Assassin's speed gave these two great experts a blow to their confidence right from the start.

The Mist Assassin ignored the two and rushed straight toward Gu Fei. The ones who finally reacted were Jian Gui, who already had some understanding of its speed, and Bai Shi Jing Lun, whose skills were second only to Gu Fei.

The two attacked from the left and right, trying to intercept it, but Jian Gui activated Swift Travel and was much faster than Bai Shi Jing Lun, but he missed. Bai Shi Jing Lun directly launched a Meteor Strike, his speed not as fast as Jian Gui, but he hit the Mist Assassin's head perfectly.

Jian Gui was competing with the Mist Assassin for speed, wanting to reach that position before it did, but he failed.

What Bai Shi Jing Lun did was predict, instantly judging the speed of both sides and rushing directly to the intersection, accurately hitting the Mist Assassin with a punch.

Bai Shi Jing Lun's attack was very different from Gu Fei's. Gu Fei was a mage, weak in strength, and his damage mainly relied on spells. Bai Shi Jing Lun's attack was purely physical, and he had strength in his own right. So, when he hit the Mist Assassin, he not only caused damage but also affected the Mist Assassin's figure. This punch made the Mist Assassin stagger and sway.

Jian Gui, on the other side, seized this opportunity and immediately stepped on the Swift Travel that hadn't ended yet, rushing behind the Mist Assassin and stabbing it hard with a Backstab. Yu Tian Shen Ming also seized the opportunity and fired a Sniper Shot straight into the Mist Assassin's heart.

After all, they were all experts. When such an obvious opportunity appeared, no one would miss it. Even Zhan Wu Shang ran over, wanting to launch a Charge, but he was too far away and couldn't possibly be faster than Yu Tian Shen Ming's Sniper Shot. So, by the time he had taken two steps, the Mist Assassin had already darted away and hidden in the mist again.

This was the Mist Assassin's style. Those who had seen it were already used to it. This time, they had successfully attacked the Mist Assassin, which made them all full of confidence. If everyone could see the Mist Assassin rushing out but couldn't hit it, then they wouldn't even dream of defeating this Boss.

At the same time, Jian Gui and the other experts in the online game were thinking: Without someone like Gu Fei or Bai Shi Jing Lun, who had the skills to restrain it, this Mist Assassin would be impossible to defeat at the current time.

"Everyone, be careful," Gu Fei said after accepting the Han Family Young Master's recovery and getting back on his feet, while eating fruit.

Everyone quickly moved closer together, forming a formation that was no different from the one Jian Nan You and the others had used. The difference was that Gu Fei, who was eating fruit, was surrounded by everyone. He was the Mist Assassin's aggro target, and everyone wanted to see what the Mist Assassin would do in this situation, where Gu Fei was completely protected.

"Hey, what about me?" At this time, Shou Fa Ruan stood alone on the side and asked quickly.

"I told you to go back earlier," the Han Family Young Master said without turning his head.
