Chapter 34 The Ambush

The robbery gang was feeling utterly depressed; the current situation was entirely beyond their expectations. Those who hadn't truly faced Gu Fei head-on couldn't possibly understand how terrifying his skills were. Most people simply saw him as a mage with instant-kill spells, but judging him based on that alone was quite an insult to Gu Fei.

Take the current situation, for example: a mage who had lost his mana was still able to send a group of people fleeing in disarray. This was absolutely unique.

Gu Fei weaved through the ranks of mages and archers, ruthlessly bullying them, always keeping a distance of less than half a meter between himself and them. This tactic was a bit despicable; some of the archers had already run away, but when they turned back to fire, Gu Fei would dodge, and the arrow would end up hitting their own people. If they used a tracking arrow, Gu Fei would casually pluck it out. Besides, that skill had a long cooldown, and they could only use it sparingly.

At first, Gu Fei was quite ruthless, and his continuous attacks even killed one mage. But he quickly realized that these mages were actually quite good as human shields. Ordinary mages didn't have high agility, so Gu Fei could easily stay close to them. As a result, even though the warriors and thieves squeezed forward, they could never find a good opportunity to attack. If a thief tried to get behind Gu Fei, there was always a mage behind him. If a warrior wanted to use Charge or Whirlwind Slash, someone would use it, but the result was the same as when the archers fired: Gu Fei would dodge, and their own people would be sent flying.

"Spread out! Mages, spread out!!!" The leader of the opposing side roared in exasperation.

But in this narrow street, with walls on both sides, where could they possibly spread to? Gu Fei had seen this point long ago and was exploiting the terrain to the fullest.

Even so, under the cover of the warriors and thieves, the mages gradually moved to the rear. These melee classes had been playing hide-and-seek with Gu Fei for quite a while and were already incredibly frustrated. Now that they finally saw an opportunity to unleash their skills, they roared and charged toward Gu Fei. But at this moment, Gu Fei turned his head and ran!

There were archers ahead, but when these archers saw Gu Fei running toward them, they were all at a loss, not daring to fire.

Why? Because Gu Fei wasn't an ordinary person. They had already realized that he could dodge almost any arrow they fired. Before, it was fine if they missed, but now Gu Fei had his own brothers behind him. If Gu Fei dodged, the arrows would hit their own people.

In the end, the robbery gang's manpower was still not large enough. The archers and mages numbered only ten or so each. If they had a force of several dozen, Gu Fei would either have been burned to ashes by the mages or shot full of holes by the archers.

"Stop him! Stop him!!" The gang leader roared, furious at how useless his archers were.

The archers saw that their leader had spoken, and they figured that even if they shot their own people, the leader would take responsibility. So they immediately felt relieved and began to fire boldly. As a result, Gu Fei either dodged or plucked out the arrows, and none of them hit him. But the thieves behind him cried out incessantly, their curses rising and falling.

"Stop the noise!" The gang leader realized that his command had been a slight miscalculation and felt annoyed.

"Grab that guy!" The leader felt that telling the archers to "stop" him was just useless, so he simply made it clearer.

The street was only so wide, and the archers were lined up side by side, so grabbing Gu Fei wasn't really a problem. As soon as the shout went out, Gu Fei's heart tightened, and he quickly adjusted his steps to move toward the wall. The opponents didn't understand Gu Fei's intention, but when Gu Fei ran so close to the wall, some archers diagonally opposite him boldly fired their arrows again. After all, there was a wall behind him; they didn't have to worry about friendly fire.

Just as Gu Fei was about to make contact with the archers, and the two in front of him were already baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, stretching out their arms, Gu Fei suddenly kicked off the wall to the side.

Gu Fei's strength wasn't enough to support him flying onto the roof, but it was enough to support him jumping higher than he could from the ground. Then, he grabbed the wall with one hand and stepped on the shoulder of the archer opposite him, and just like that, he leaped over the wall of people.

The archers cried out in surprise and turned around. Gu Fei had already landed and run another three meters. Now there were no friendly troops in front of him, and the archers quickly and unreservedly began to draw their bows and shoot. The leader was even more furious and frantically summoned the mages.

But had Gu Fei done all his preparation for nothing? At this moment, the mages had already switched to the back of the formation. Now they suddenly had to switch to the front, and in the ensuing chaos, Gu Fei had already run a long distance away. The mages could no longer perfectly pave the way for Gu Fei's sprint with their spells.

"Chase him, chase him!!!" The leader roared, bellowing.

Gu Fei's escape wasn't elegant at all. He knew that he would surely die if he fought for too long, so he immediately ran after disrupting the opponent's formation. He was now pushing himself to his limit. He wasn't able to pay enough attention to dodging the arrows behind him, and one had already pierced his shoulder.

The archers behind him were still chasing and shooting. Gu Fei didn't know if he would be worn down by them like this, but there was a turning in the street ahead. As long as he could reach that place, his chances of survival would greatly increase. But just then, Gu Fei seemed to see a head poking out at the street corner, then quickly withdrawing.

"Could there be an ambush!" Gu Fei's heart tightened, and he didn't dare get too close to that side for a moment. After sprinting a few steps in the center of the street, he finally reached the turning. Gu Fei turned his head, wanting to see clearly what the ambush was.

As a result, with one glance, he saw a group of extremely wretched fellows crouching by the base of the wall, looking like sneaky thieves. The moment Gu Fei rushed past, he saw all their heads swivel around in unison, and then their faces revealed expressions of delight.

"Drunk Bro, come over here!" one of them shouted.

Gu Fei had already relaxed; he recognized these guys as the Eternal Flower Garden.

He quickly sprinted into the street, and over here, Tsukiyama Mei gave a wave of her hand: "Brothers, it's our turn!"

Then, the guys by the base of the wall lazily stood up, laughing and joking as they drew their bows together and jumped out of the street entrance.

"Shoot!!" Tsukiyama Mei shouted.

"Shoot!!" Everyone followed her shout. Some even whistled lewdly. Gu Fei felt a bit embarrassed being mixed in with them. Looking at Maang Maang by the side, she was as calm as usual.

Habit becomes nature; that was right, Gu Fei thought.

The archers of the robbery gang rushed to the front ferociously, holding their bows level with their shoulders. From their posture, they seemed to think of themselves as special police teams capturing escaped criminals. But they never expected that at the turning in the street, Gu Fei jumped in, and then dozens of them jumped out.

"There's an ambush!!!" The archers shouted, and a rain of arrows came flying at them.

The Eternal Flower Garden was entirely made up of archers. Fireball was squeezed into the middle, wanting to throw a spell, but he was bumped and jostled by these guys with their lack of organization and discipline, and he couldn't even complete a single successful incantation.

Even though it was chaotic, in this kind of street battle, the volley of nearly forty archers was truly too powerful. The archers at the very front of the opposing side immediately collapsed as a group, with no one surviving.

Following closely behind the archers were the thieves. There was nowhere to hide or dodge in the street, and the result of the volley was the same.

The third layer was the group of mages who had previously thrown spells at Gu Fei. They had low health and weak defense, and the volley wiped them out as a group.

Three waves of attacks cleanly eliminated the three major classes of the robbery gang. Next, the challenge would be for the warrior group.

"Heavy armor, heavy armor!!" The gang leader only reacted after his three waves of troops had been wiped out. The heavily armored warriors rushed out with their shields, blocking the archer attacks.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" It would be too stupid to continue charging forward at this point.

"Advance, advance!" Tsukiyama Mei commanded everyone to advance. It was now the turn of the archers on this side to show off. They all struck cool poses, holding their bows level, thinking of themselves as special agent 007.

"It's my turn now!" Fireball was jumping around in the crowd. The opponents were all high-defense warriors at this point, and it was time for him to unleash his spells.

"Get out, get out!" As a result, the weak Fireball was once again pushed out of the crowd by the archers.

Fireball was indignant! He turned his head and saw Gu Fei standing next to him at some point, holding an apple in his left hand and pulling out a mage robe from his pocket with his right hand, along with the Dark Night Radiance Sword, handing them to Fireball: "Here, let me let you show off for a bit."

Fireball somewhat blankly took them. After seeing the attributes of the two items clearly, his breathing became rapid. He quickly took off his own mage robe and put on the Dark Night Spirit Robe, throwing his own staff to the side. He raised the Dark Night Radiance Sword high, pointing it straight at the center of the opposing formation: "Heavenly Fire Wheel, descend!!!"

Fireball chanted loudly, and fire flashed in the sky, pouncing down onto the ground.

The street instantly became silent. A large area of emptiness had been dug out of the center of the opposing formation.

Fireball was a normal mage, primarily focused on adding intelligence points. He usually used area-of-effect spells when leveling, and his proficiency was greater than Gu Fei's. At this moment, wearing the Dark Night Spirit Robe and wielding the Dark Night Radiance Sword, the spell he cast was much stronger than Gu Fei's. Gu Fei's area-of-effect spells could currently only kill some classes with low health, but with Fireball strengthened by these two pieces of equipment, even warriors became ashes in his hands. Of course, it wasn't that absolute; there were still a few who stood firm. But the key was that Fireball quickly added a "Thousand Flames of Fiery Trees," and then the world became so quiet.

"Sure... sure enough, he's an instant-kill mage..." The survivors among the robbery gang stuttered as they mumbled. Their leader had also died in the two spells just now.

The archers of the Eternal Flower Garden were also shocked by this brutal clearing of the field. The most durable warriors were actually so vulnerable? Everyone subconsciously wondered what the result would be if such a spell were dropped on their own heads, and their hearts began to pound rapidly. Everyone forgot to continue shooting arrows and slowly turned around in unison.

Behind them, the mage in black lowered his head, holding the longsword in a pose of extreme modesty. After sensing the atmosphere for a moment, the mage slowly raised his head, giving a contemptuous smile: "It was alright, I guess!"

Deathly silence.

But it was quickly broken by a crisp "crunch." Gu Fei was biting an apple and said to Fireball, "Have you shown off enough? Give me back my equipment!"

"Damn it!!!" Only then did everyone realize what was going on, and they surrounded Fireball and beat him up.

Don't worry about whether Fireball will try to keep Gu Fei's equipment or not. Everyone is a cultured scholar; what should they know? That's right, it's that you have to vote after reading the book~
