Hu Die Lan
Chapter 266 Gu Fei Flies Away
The summit wasn't large, and Gu Fei and his four teammates were chasing each other around, having a great time. The harmonious atmosphere made Black Finger think he had traveled through time.
Amidst the shouts of "Over there! Over there!" and "Block him! Block him!" from Moonlight Lone Wanderer and the other three, Gu Fei was the first to spot him. The genuine joy on his face was no act. Gu Fei pounced on Black Finger, shouting, "Let's duel!" He had truly had enough of this game of eagle catching chickens.
Black Finger hadn't quite reacted when Gu Fei, charging towards him, raised his hand and delivered a slash. The blaze of fire rushed at him, giving Black Finger a fright, thinking he was about to be insta-killed by Twin Fire Slash. After seeing the damage to his health, he felt a little relieved. It was not easy for ordinary people to distinguish between a magic-imbued attack and Twin Fire Slash.
Moonlight Lone Wanderer finally saw Black Finger as well, but Gu Fei was already standing next to Black Finger, looking at the four of them seriously and saying, "Stop fooling around, let's fight properly!"
Black Finger took the lead, drawing his sword and slashing at Gu Fei, while calling out to the two teammates who had come up the mountain with him, "Take him down quickly!"
One of the two was an archer, the other a thief. One quickly distanced himself, while the other circled around to Gu Fei's side, intending to attack him in conjunction with Black Finger.
With three priests and a paladin present, Gu Fei's efforts were still futile. However, the other party finally stopped entangling him with that rogue-like method, which gave him a breather. Calculating that Sword Demon and Yutian Shenming should be arriving soon, his spirits lifted, and he began to fight with renewed vigor.
Black Finger originally thought that taking down a mage without mana would be a piece of cake, not even bothering to use his strongest skill, Whirlwind Slash. However, he soon realized that Gu Fei's skills were even more outrageous than the rumors suggested. No matter how hard he tried, his sword couldn't touch Gu Fei, while the other party's blade? It had slashed him countless times.
The thief providing support was even more awkward. Gu Fei circled around Black Finger while attacking, and the thief was bent over, chasing after him, waiting for Gu Fei to slowly give him a cut. As a result, Gu Fei spun faster and faster, so the thief had to turn back to block him. The thief had been on the mountain for a while but hadn't made a single move, just foolishly spinning around Black Finger, making both him and Black Finger feel nauseous.
As for the archer, even his tracking arrows missed the constantly moving Gu Fei, and in the end, the moment he released the bowstring, it hit Black Finger. Shooting their leader with an arrow, he didn't dare to release a second one.
Moonlight Lone Wanderer was switching shifts with the others to heal Black Finger when Black Finger flared up at them, "One person healing is enough, everyone else come up and surround this kid!" As a leader, he had his pride. Black Finger had no desire to be a sandbag like Moonlight Lone Wanderer had been.
Moonlight Lone Wanderer wanted to say that these few people couldn't surround him, but he ultimately held back. Many people always thought it was an exaggeration when he talked about how powerful Gu Fei was. After the failure of the Two-Way mission that day, Moonlight Lone Wanderer was always mocked by his guildmates when he talked about how abnormal Gu Fei was. To be honest, when Gu Fei had wiped out twenty people so miserably, Moonlight Lone Wanderer had felt a secret sense of revengeful satisfaction.
Responding to the guild leader's call, three priests and a knight also contributed their strength to surround Gu Fei. But as Moonlight Lone Wanderer had anticipated, with Gu Fei's speed, the priests had no chance to position themselves for an encirclement. Gu Fei's figure could be seen everywhere on the summit as he engaged in guerilla warfare. In the end, Black Finger ended up like the thief, bent over and chasing after him.
The summit was once again filled with chaotic shouts of "Over here! Over here!" and "Block him! Block him!", exactly the same as when Black Finger had first arrived on the mountain. "So I really did travel through time..." Black Finger thought dazedly.
The sound of a powerful arrow whistling through the air disrupted the situation on the mountain. Yutian Shenming and Sword Demon had finally arrived. Gu Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Finally here!"
Yutian Shenming clicked his tongue in wonder, "Even you have times when you can't hold on?"
"It's not that I can't hold on," Gu Fei sighed, "There are too many priests. It would be better without priests..."
Moonlight Lone Wanderer felt very sad upon hearing this. He had been lamenting that their side only had three priests and two knights left with combat power, and how great it would be if they were all combat classes! It turned out that the other party's mage was thinking the same thing. Judging from his words, if it was that kind of lineup, he would have wiped them all out.
Black Finger's face was ashen. He had personally experienced how troublesome Gu Fei was, and he no longer doubted that Gu Fei alone could drag things on indefinitely. Now that the other two had arrived, how far away could the other three be? Could his group really hold out until reinforcements arrived?
More importantly, Black Finger didn't even have the means to escape now. There were a total of seven people on the mountain, apart from an archer and a thief, the others were all slow-moving types.
"Let's go!" Yutian Shenming didn't say much, shouting as he charged up, raising his hand and shooting an arrow at the archer. Sword Demon also rushed out with a swift movement, heading for the thief.
The archer had been rescued by Black Finger and the others after rolling halfway down the mountain earlier, and his health was not full to begin with. What suspense could there be after taking a close-range snipe from Yutian Shenming? Although there were many priests, there was no chance to heal him at all.
Black Finger roared angrily and charged towards Yutian Shenming.
Yutian Shenming was also quite experienced. Seeing Black Finger's bent posture, he cried "Oh dear!" and dodged to the side. Black Finger's charge swept past him, and he reached out to activate Whirlwind Slash. Every warrior had to know how to use this combo.
Yutian Shenming was forced into a very awkward position, almost tumbling to avoid Black Finger's Whirlwind Slash.
Black Finger, of course, quickly canceled the skill, otherwise, it would be a waste of rage. Gu Fei saw this as an opportunity and quickly closed in, slashing down with his blade before reaching out to push, wanting to catch Black Finger off guard and send him down the mountain as well.
This time, however, he was careless. The strength of a warrior was overwhelmingly superior to that of a mage. As the saying goes, force prevails over finesse. In front of a warrior, all the tricks that Gu Fei had used on the knight before were useless. Gu Fei's strenuous push was solid, but Black Finger stood as firm as a mountain. He instinctively reached out and grabbed Gu Fei, swung his arm, and threw Gu Fei away.
"Beautiful!!!" Moonlight Lone Wanderer was excited. As expected of the leader, he also used a move to resolve the most troublesome person.
Actually, Black Finger was also confused. Everything just now was an unconscious reflex. This kind of action was the fastest, so Gu Fei didn't even have time to react. The agility stat in the game was very obvious in terms of movement speed, but it wouldn't be so exaggerated in terms of attack speed. If it were true that a warrior's reach was as slow as slow motion in a movie, and an agile thief was as fast as eight times fast forward, then no matter how strong the warrior was, he wouldn't be a match!
"Alas, I was careless!" Gu Fei, in mid-air, reviewed his actions and once again sighed at the disparity in strength. Then he adjusted his posture to maintain his balance.
When Black Finger realized that he had done something significant, he turned back triumphantly, wanting to see how Gu Fei was rolling down, only to see him landing steadily on the hillside.
"Sword Demon, Yutian, hold on for a while!" Gu Fei shouted towards the summit. He simply didn't go up anymore, took out an apple, and crunched down on it.
Moonlight Lone Wanderer, of course, heard Gu Fei's voice, and his face changed. Even being thrown out didn't matter? He rushed to the edge of the mountain and looked down, just in time to see Gu Fei leisurely eating an apple, and stared at Black Finger in horror.
"We can't let him recover his mana!" Moonlight Lone Wanderer was about to cry.
Black Finger knew how important this was. At this moment, he only hated why he had used so much force, throwing Gu Fei so far away. Now, rushing over to stop him from eating the apple was too late...
Moonlight Lone Wanderer made a last-ditch effort, sending a Holy Light Orb towards Gu Fei. It floated slowly to Gu Fei's side. Gu Fei didn't dodge, trying to buy more time to recover more mana. After being hit by the Holy Light Orb, the apple's effect was interrupted, but Gu Fei had also recovered a quarter of his mana. He smiled and shouted "I'm coming!", grabbing the Dark Night Luminous Sword and charging back up the mountain.
"It's over..." Moonlight Lone Wanderer was quite meticulous and carefully studied Gu Fei's fighting style, wanting to discover unknown flaws. He hadn't found any flaws yet, but he was quite clear about Gu Fei's habits. When Gu Fei was out of mana, he would use the back of his blade; when he had mana, he would switch to this long sword that no one had been able to identify so far.
In fact, the summit had already been ravaged by Sword Demon and Yutian Shenming. Sword Demon stabbed the thief while Yutian Shenming shot at him. The two of them worked together to eliminate him without giving the priests a chance to react. Then, bullying the two priests and one knight was even easier. Here Black Finger and Moonlight Lone Wanderer were still sighing at the edge of the mountain about Gu Fei's revival!
What suspense could there be about the situation afterward? Black Finger, Moonlight Lone Wanderer, two priests, and one knight were all slow-moving guys. It was impossible to escape from Gu Fei and the other two. The previous method of priests constantly healing was useless. The three of them combined to attack, enough to kill any class instantly.
Black Finger died so gloriously. Sword Demon's Backstab, Yutian Shenming's Snipe, and Gu Fei's Twin Fire Slash, all three moves together. With this unprecedented treatment, it would be a shame if Black Finger didn't die!
What else was there to say about the remaining four? They were all sacrificed after being beaten up by the three of them. The three cleaned up the summit and came to the edge of the mountain to look out. Han Family's Young Master and the other three were about to arrive, and the other four teams were clearly galloping on the map.
