Hu Die Lan

Chapter 404 Strike a Pose

Chapter 162 A Guarantee

Jian Nan You was somewhat surprised.

The fact that Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun were walking straight towards them was, in itself, a rather abnormal action.

Although Jian Nan You and the others had been planning to steal Gu Fei's equipment for a long time, the intent had not yet been exposed. Gu Fei shouldn't have known they harbored ill intentions.

So, why was he walking over so purposefully? If it was to avenge his friends, then why weren't his friends present? Could it be that he was just passing by and, upon seeing them, suddenly decided to take revenge? Jian Nan You figured that was the only possibility. Of course, he couldn't imagine that Gu Fei was looking for him for a business deal.

"I said he wouldn't be hard to find. This was easy!" Bai Shi Jing Lun praised as he walked.

"That's why I said this profession has a bright future!" Gu Fei said.

Brother You and the others' initial guess was completely correct. Jian Nan You's group of seven were originally all members of the professional rankings' top ten. Because they were wiped out during the Sunset City campaign, they fell off the list.

All seven were in the same situation. Even though they had lost a level, their strength remained. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so calmly planning how to face off against the experts of the Young Master Elite Group. But the appearance of Bai Shi Jing Lun had somewhat disrupted their plans.

There was no time for careful and meticulous planning anymore. Jian Nan You glanced at the other six and signaled, "Ignore Bai Shi Jing Lun and focus on stealing the video mage's equipment."

The six nodded.

Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun approached step by step. Although the seven remained seated, Jiao Shui's bowstring was already drawn, and Huo Ran Yi was mentally rehearsing the incantation for his first spell.

"Don't move yet!" Jian Nan You, seeing that the two ranged professions were about to strike first, quickly stopped them and then signaled with his eyes.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw that the player in charge of the wine stall had already gone to greet the two.

"What can I get you two?"

"Oh, that's right!" Gu Fei suddenly remembered something. "Isn't PK prohibited on this beach?"

The wine stall player's expression immediately changed. Two other players rushed over upon hearing this: "Is there a problem, gentlemen?"

"Why can't we PK here?" Bai Shi Jing Lun still asked.

"Because it will affect their business," Gu Fei said.

"That's right!" The player, hearing Gu Fei's words, felt that he was quite sensible, and his expression immediately softened. "So, if you want to PK, please find another place."

At this moment, Jian Nan You showed no intention of avoiding the situation. He smiled and provocatively stared at Gu Fei.

His actions were not without meaning. He had suddenly realized that fighting in this place, though rushed, also had its advantages. At least, the seven of them wouldn't seem like troublemakers. Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun, the two who caused trouble, would be collectively hunted down by the major guilds of Linshui City.

Jian Nan You welcomed this kind of chaotic scene. He liked to fish in troubled waters. The previous time they followed him to Sunset City, that was his tactical intention. Unexpectedly, after failing last time and going in circles, he was now faced with such an opportunity in Linshui City.

Jian Nan You really didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he despised Gu Fei, provoked Gu Fei, and used his smile to stimulate Gu Fei. A guy whose PK value could easily reach several dozens must be a hot-blooded and impulsive person, so he would definitely attack recklessly. Jian Nan You thought so.

In that case, the seven of them wouldn't even need to take action. The people from the various guilds on the beach would stand up first. Although they might not be a match for these two experts, a chaotic situation would have already been created. What's even better was that Gu Fei would definitely accumulate PK value again in this melee. PK value, that's what professional robbers loved most. It was the most powerful equipment to improve their work efficiency.

Jian Nan You felt wonderful just thinking about it, so he continued to intensify the provocation. Then he saw Bai Shi Jing Lun point at him and say, "That person is Jian Nan You."

"I know," Gu Fei nodded.

"He seems to be looking down on you," Bai Shi Jing Lun said.

Gu Fei smiled and said, "He's about to die anyway. I don't care how arrogant he is for a little while..."

Jian Nan You felt depressed. It wasn't because of Gu Fei's counter-despisal, but because he had already realized that small tricks like provocation were obviously useless against Gu Fei. This person wasn't someone who would act recklessly over such a trivial matter. In that case, the chaotic scene he was hoping for would probably be difficult to achieve.

But then he heard Gu Fei say to the three players, "Gentlemen, I guarantee that our actions will be clean and efficient and won't cause you any trouble."

The three players wouldn't be easily persuaded. They shook their heads like rattles. Moreover, they had heard that the people sitting at that table were Jian Nan You and there were seven of them in total. How could a fight be as clean and efficient as he said, without causing any trouble at all?

"Gentlemen, we don't care about your grudges, but this is where we do business, so please resolve your issues elsewhere." The other party's tone was still polite. People were indeed different. If this were a guild in Yueye City, who would waste so much time talking to you? They would just kill you!

Gu Fei really wished the other party would be as violent as the players in Yueye City. With them being so polite, he was really embarrassed to attack.

"Really not possible?" Gu Fei asked.

The other party shook their heads.

"Alright then!" Gu Fei said with a helpless look, turning to leave with Bai Shi Jing Lun.

The three players thought that the two were bound to leave and had already relaxed their vigilance. Suddenly, Gu Fei turned around abruptly, with his long sword raised and pointing diagonally at the sky.

"Heavenly Fire Wheel!!! Dodge!!!" Huo Ran Yi shouted loudly. The round table, which had been surrounded by seven people just moments ago, was instantly empty. None of Jian Nan You's seven were slow to react. Upon hearing Huo Ran Yi's shout, they immediately flew backward along with their stools.

"You!!!" The three players at the wine stall didn't expect Gu Fei to act like this and were naturally furious. Then they saw Gu Fei casually put his sword back into his pocket and calmly said, "What's wrong? Can't I just strike a pose?"

The three were stunned upon hearing this. Then, they turned back to look. The seven had run in seven different directions and were in a sorry state. But there wasn't even a trace of fire in the sky. Obviously, Gu Fei had simply raised his sword. It was the seven who were too nervous.

It was indeed just a simple pose, no PK...

However, the rules of this beach were set by the players, not the system, so they were naturally very flexible. Although there was no PK, Gu Fei's actions were still considered disruptive, and he would naturally be severely punished. The three players' faces had completely fallen. "It seems that you're sincerely here to cause trouble." As they spoke, people from other wine stalls around them were rushing over. They were all players from various guilds who were present.

Gu Fei shook his head. "No, I'm here to chop people." After saying that, he waved his hand, and suddenly, he disappeared. The three players had never seen such a strange disappearance in their gaming lives. They were still at a loss when they suddenly heard a surprised voice from behind. The three quickly turned around. Only then did they realize that the guy who had been with Gu Fei had taken advantage of everyone's attention being diverted by Gu Fei and had already approached that table.

Jian Nan You, who had discovered that it was just a trick after panicking and dodging, hadn't had time to calm down when he saw Bai Shi Jing Lun had already rushed in front of him, throwing a punch.

Jian Nan You didn't have time to think it over and naturally raised his shield to block. Unfortunately, he wasn't facing an ordinary person today.

Bai Shi Jing Lun's punch came straight at him. Jian Nan You raised his shield to block, stopping Bai Shi Jing Lun's punch, but also blocking his own sight. He didn't know that Bai Shi Jing Lun's punch could still change mid-way, suddenly changing into a claw that grabbed the edge of his shield.

Jian Nan You then launched a charge. He was using the shield to perform this charge. Although it shortened the attack range and power, it increased the attack surface. Warriors didn't use charge for its damage. What was important about charge was its high probability of causing a stun effect, as well as the burst of extraordinary movement that it gave to the slow warrior for that instant.

Almost no one could dodge this kind of close-range shield charge.

Unfortunately, Jian Nan You was facing Bai Shi Jing Lun today. He had long anticipated Jian Nan You's attack. While grabbing the shield, he immediately used the force to flip it. As Jian Nan You's charge went out, Bai Shi Jing Lun threw himself behind him.

Jian Nan You's charge hit nothing, and he saw a figure flash past him. He knew something was wrong. The skill had just ended, and before he could turn around, Bai Shi Jing Lun had grabbed his waist.

Jian Nan You only had time to cry out "Not good!" in his heart before he was sent flying into the air.

Just like how warriors displayed a speed that they normally wouldn't have when using charge, any player, no matter how much they weighed, felt as light as a feather in the hands of a fighter when they used "Embrace and Throw."

The three wine stall players turned around and saw Jian Nan You being thrown. None of Jian Nan You's other six companions had time to react. Everything happened too fast. When they looked up and noticed the abnormality, they only saw Bai Shi Jing Lun throw himself behind Jian Nan You, then take a step forward and embrace and throw him.

Everything was not over yet...

The place where Jian Nan You was about to land was also specially chosen by Bai Shi Jing Lun. It was an open space, so it wouldn't disturb anyone. At this time, Gu Fei instantly teleported and flew over. The Dark Night Flowing Light Sword was already raised, and flames were faintly flowing on it. Jian Nan You wanted to extend his shield to block, but unfortunately, having been hit by the fighter's Embrace and Throw, his body was forced into a rigid state before landing, and he couldn't make any movements.

Jian Nan You landed, and dust flew up. Bai Shi Jing Lun, as one of the Five Little Strongs, didn't care about game equipment as much as ordinary players, just like Gu Fei, but that didn't mean his equipment was shabby. Competing in so many system missions in Sunset City was enough for him to get a set of gorgeous top-tier gear. Now wasn't the time to compete in martial arts, so he was naturally fully armed. The moment he landed, Jian Nan You could feel his life flowing away wildly. At the same time, a streak of bright red fire came with the wind.
