Hu Die Lan

Chapter 162 No Weaknesses?

Those singing and drinking were rushing to dodge, but unfortunately, there were too many of them. Although they had left some space in their formation, it was impossible to clear a large area for the Hu Shu Qian Chong Yan (Thousand Flame Fire Tree) in the blink of an eye. Even if Gu Fei's spellcasting had given them a bit of extra time.

Most people ran away, but some remained. The flames rose, and Gu Fei checked his points, which instantly increased by 6.

The original score of 29 to 46 had changed to 41 to 46, only 6 points away from completing the reversal.

And no one could stop this reversal now. After Gu Fei finished chanting the Hu Shu Qian Chong Yan, he immediately chanted a "Tian Jiang Huo Lun" (Fire Wheel Descends from the Sky) next to it. After the Hu Shu Qian Chong Yan bloomed, the fire wheel in the sky also ignited. Some players who were originally in that position scattered and ran, but unfortunately, some of them fled from the Hu Shu Qian Chong Yan's direction and arrived here, adding up to those who didn't have time to dodge. This single Tian Jiang Huo Lun earned even more points than before: 11 points.

52 to 46, the score had been successfully reversed. From the moment Xi Yao Wu (Petty Dancing Waist) showed her face behind the hillock to draw away the archers' attention, everything had happened in an instant.

"I learned this move from you," Gu Fei said with a smile, addressing Ni Liu Er Shang (Upstream Against the Current), who was grinding his teeth somewhere. Han Jia Gongzi (Young Master Han) had introduced this person to Gu Fei as the guild leader of Dui Jiu Dang Ge (Singing Merrily with Wine)! He couldn't quite recognize people, but the water-blue staff in his hand was quite dazzling.

Ni Liu Er Shang gritted his teeth. Casting two area-of-effect spells consecutively seemed simple, but in addition to chanting, it was also necessary to calculate the target's moving speed and predict their direction of movement to ensure that the second main offensive spell didn't miss. But now, Gu Fei had many targets to choose from, so he didn't need to put so much thought into calculating. His two area-of-effect spells cast one after another looked somewhat like the magic formation effect of Dui Jiu Dang Ge.

"Bing Xuan Feng (Ice Cyclone)! Spin!!" Ni Liu Er Shang pointed his staff, and a cyclone rose from the ground, spinning towards Gu Fei.

"Still want to play with me!" Gu Fei laughed, "Hurry up and chase Xi Yao Wu!"

Ni Liu Er Shang continued to grind his teeth. Someone had already gone after Xi Yao Wu, but they quickly received a report: too fast, they couldn't catch up at all.

Ni Liu Er Shang knew that his side was likely to lose this confrontation. His heart was broken, and he just wanted to vent his resentment on Gu Fei in front of him.

"Shuang Yan Shan (Dual Flame Flash)! Flash!" Seeing the Bing Xuan Feng drifting in front of him, Gu Fei didn't dodge or block. Suddenly, he held his sword with both hands and swung it down, shouting loudly to complete the chant.

The Dark Night Flowing Light Sword, surrounded by flames like two dragons playing with a pearl, sliced the Bing Xuan Feng in two, and it instantly disappeared. Gu Fei shook his hand and smiled, "Alright, stop fooling around."

Ni Liu Er Shang was greatly surprised. It wasn't surprising that the Bing Xuan Feng couldn't withstand physical attacks and was split into pieces. Many powerful warriors could do that. However, although the magic damage of the shattered Bing Xuan Feng would be greatly reduced, the added freezing and slowing effects would be transferred upon contact. But Gu Fei's movements were completely normal, obviously not even the freezing effect had taken hold.

There was only one explanation: Gu Fei's Shuang Yan Shan's judgment was too strong, so strong that its burning effect suppressed the freezing effect of the Bing Xuan Feng. How could anyone raise the proficiency of Shuang Yan Shan so high? What kind of mage is this guy studying?

While thinking this, Ni Liu Er Shang also paid attention to the sword in Gu Fei's hand. He cast an Appraisal spell, and a bunch of question marks popped up.

Gu Fei strolled leisurely through the crowd of six hundred, putting a hand on his head like Sun Wukong, and glanced into the distance, sighing, "Aiya! I can't even see where Xi Yao Wu has gone."

As he spoke, he took out an apple from his pocket and prepared to take a bite. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind rose in his ears, and Gu Fei quickly tilted his head back. With a loud bang, the apple in his hand was shot away by an arrow, and the splashed apple dregs sprayed all over Gu Fei's face.

Gu Fei turned his head expressionlessly and saw a person holding a bow and arrow, with some surprise on his face.

"You saw through me!" Gu Fei nodded.

"But, don't tell me you were aiming for the apple."

The person was ashamed.

"Okay, I admit, I have no mana left," Gu Fei spread his hands. "Those who want to kill me, come on!" There was a large open space around Gu Fei at this time.

Ni Liu Er Shang waved his hand, and many archers and mages stepped forward.

"Hey, don't do this! Let two melee classes come and play!" Gu Fei was depressed.

Ni Liu Er Shang ignored him. With an order, all the archers released tracking arrows, and all the mages threw area-of-effect spells into this small open space.

"Huo Qiu (Fireball), shoot!" Gu Fei stubbornly counterattacked, using the last bit of mana he had to release this most humble of spells.

As for the opponent's attacks, with such a small open space, Gu Fei had no room to dodge at all. No matter how fast he was, it was useless, and he finally turned into a white light and left.

The remaining fireball floated slowly towards the crowd, but the experts were experienced. Knowing that this fireball no longer had any damage, they slapped it away with a palm.

"Seize the time! Quickly find Xi Yao Wu." Ni Liu Er Shang waved his hand. After speaking, he also looked around. The scenery was blank, and Ni Liu Er Shang felt that this map was unprecedentedly large, large enough to make people panic, large enough to make people want to vomit.

Gu Fei experienced a world of darkness to light. When he opened his eyes, he was already in the teleportation array outside the guild hall, surrounded by girls, wrapping Gu Fei in a sea of flowers, attracting envious gazes from the other male players around: look at that guy, his teleportation was so on point, landing right in a pile of girls!

"How is it, how is it?" The girls asked Gu Fei one after another. Players who died in battle and teleported out of the arena couldn't hear the system broadcast in the arena, so they didn't know the score at this time.

"The score has been reversed," Gu Fei said.

The women cheered.

"Xiao Wu, add oil!" A wave of encouragement resounded in the guild. (Xiao Wu is Petty Dancing Waist, add oil is a common Chinese expression of encouragement.)

Gu Fei smiled and silently slipped away.

"Where are you going?" Several people noticed Gu Fei wanted to leave and asked him from behind.

"Uh, I'm leaving first, see you tomorrow!" Gu Fei greeted them, squeezed out of the crowd, and went straight to Xiao Lei's Tavern.

"Is Gongzi (Young Master) here?" Gu Fei asked Xiao Lei in a low voice after entering the tavern.

Xiao Lei pointed to private room number two.

Gu Fei chuckled, walked to the private room, lifted the curtain, and was immediately stunned.

Han Jia Gongzi was indeed in the private room, but Nuo Fu Jiu Xing (Coward Savior) was also present. The two were drinking and chatting happily, and Nuo Fu Jiu Xing was vigorously recommending a piece of grilled meat to Han Jia Gongzi.

"This piece is the most refined! My proficiency increased by three points just from grilling this piece of meat, try it!" Nuo Fu Jiu Xing introduced.

After Gu Fei entered, the two turned their heads together. Nuo Fu Jiu Xing quickly dropped the meat and got up to greet Gu Fei. Han Jia Gongzi looked at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Hi..." Gu Fei squeezed his face and smiled: "You guys... are doing well!"

"Very well, what else did you think?" Han Jia Gongzi sneered, and said, raising his glass to invite Nuo Fu Jiu Xing to drink together.

Nuo Fu Jiu Xing drank a glass to the fullest, patted the seat and shouted at Gu Fei: "Sit down, Zui Ge (Drunk Bro)! I'm waiting for the person you mentioned, and you're here too, let's watch the show later." Gu Fei firmly forbade Nuo Fu Jiu Xing from calling him Shifu (Master), but this guy insisted on using a respectful address for Gu Fei, so in the end, he used this addition like Huo Qiu. Gu Fei asked his age, and he was indeed older than Nuo Fu Jiu Xing, so this address was still appropriate.

"Alright, alright!!" Gu Fei stopped Nuo Fu Jiu Xing from continuing, "Nuo Fu! Go and do your thing first, no need for you here."

"Ah?"

"It's nothing, go do your thing!" Gu Fei patted him.

"Oh!" Nuo Fu Jiu Xing said hello to Han Jia Gongzi and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he turned his head: "Don't call me Nuo Fu, call me Nuo Fu Jiu Xing, I have skills, no cowardice!"

"Got it, Nuo Fu," Gu Fei said.

Nuo Fu Jiu Xing nodded in satisfaction and left.

"Hehehehehe..." Gu Fei looked at Han Jia Gongzi and smiled kindly.

"A man who looks like a woman, wants a beating, huh?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"No, no, misunderstanding!" Gu Fei said.

"Is that so? What kind of misunderstanding?" Han Jia Gongzi asked aggressively.

Obviously, Han Jia Gongzi already knew everything very clearly, and it's unknown how he fooled Nuo Fu Jiu Xing. Since things had come to this, Gu Fei also became rogue and simply slammed the table: "Don't be arrogant! Just because he's gone doesn't mean no one will beat you! I'm still sitting here! At worst, I'll beat you up myself."

"The competition went pretty smoothly, right?"

"Not bad, not bad."

Smart people spoke like this, changing the topic decisively and without delay.

"Your legendary, unsolvable tactics, don't seem like much!" Gu Fei said.

"The score has been reversed?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

Gu Fei nodded.

"Hmm, how did you do it?" Han Jia Gongzi asked.

Gu Fei explained the process.

"Two embrace throws, and then through the magic formation, you didn't die? You?" Han Jia Gongzi couldn't believe it.

"I calculated it," Gu Fei said, "They both removed all the damage-increasing equipment on their bodies. Two embrace throws could only take away half of my life. Then I borrowed a set of magic resistance equipment from Xi Yao Wu, single resistance to fire magic is seventy-three percent. I thought wearing it and going through the magic formation should be about enough."

"Seventy-three percent, that perverted woman!" Han Jia Gongzi muttered.

"Hey..." Gu Fei said.

"All you can think of is such a violent method," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"What brilliant plan do you have?" Gu Fei asked.

"Doesn't she have a teleportation scroll? Couldn't she sneak in and set up a coordinate?" Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Uh..."

"Also, they gathered a bunch of people there waiting for you to reverse the score, why did you strike so early? Wouldn't it be better to go at the very end? If they solve Xi Yao Wu now, won't you be busy for nothing?" Han Jia Gongzi said, looking at the time: "There's still half an hour before the end of the competition."

"Uh..." Gu Fei said.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Han Jia Gongzi shook his head repeatedly.

"Didn't you say your tactics were flawless?" Gu Fei said.

"I said from the very beginning that I prioritize the mercenary group."

"What does this have to do with the mercenary group?"

"If you can win, this will also be a major step forward in our mercenary group's strategy," Han Jia Gongzi said.
