Hu Die Lan

Chapter 222 Another Mute Loss

Gu Fei charged down the slope in one breath. The four archers, having moved to positions revealing a clear line of sight, released their arrows in unison, only to have them all dodged by Gu Fei. Seeing Gu Fei rapidly approaching, where could the four archers still find any will to fight? Whichever one Gu Fei charged towards, that one immediately turned and fled.

Unexpectedly, this actually dragged the battle into a stalemate. The speed of these archers was almost identical to Gu Fei's. One person ran away while the other three harassed him, making it difficult for Gu Fei to catch up easily. The Young Master Elite Group's large kite tactic involved one person running while a group of people acted as the kite; but in the current situation, Gu Fei had become the kite, with four people flying it.

The four were overjoyed, secretly praising that the personnel selection of Reflection of the Age was indeed correct. By fully utilizing their speed, this mage wasn't an unsolvable problem. If they just held on like this, it was definitely him who would fall.

Gu Fei ran east and chased west, achieving nothing. Instead, the four surrounded him at the four corners, their expressions gradually relaxing. They seemed to have forgotten that Gu Fei also possessed the art of Blink.

The cooldown time for Blink was one minute, and it had already finished. Gu Fei hadn't used it because he hadn't found an opportunity. Currently, his Blink distance was just over five meters, so he had to get within that distance of someone to use it effectively.

After persisting for a long time, Gu Fei finally endured until an opportunity appeared. He stared fixedly at one archer and chased him fiercely, while the other three chased him and released arrows. Their repeated failure to hit Gu Fei made them anxious. The closer to the target, the easier it was to hit, that was common sense. Driven by anxiety, the three became bolder and bolder in their shots, chasing closer and closer.

Gu Fei constantly paid attention to the three behind him. Seeing that the opportunity was ripe, he suddenly turned around, and a "Blink" sent him right next to an archer.

His mana wasn't enough to cast Twin Fireball, so Gu Fei had no choice but to chase after this person, cruelly hacking at him with his sword again and again.

Gu Fei secretly praised Hongchen Yixiao's reminder as absolutely correct. If he had really switched to a Water-type mage, even with skills that could slow enemies down, his speed wouldn't be enough to get close, and he wouldn't be able to hit them with his skills, so how could he slow them down? Therefore, the simplest and most direct way to defeat an enemy was still to improve one's own abilities, rather than fantasizing about reducing the opponent's strength. How could he, a martial arts practitioner, have been so muddleheaded as to overlook this principle?

Gu Fei shook his head, conducting a deep self-examination, while hacking this archer to death with his sword. If Hongchen Yixiao knew of this scene, one wondered what he would think.

Having eliminated this archer, the previous smugness of the other three archers had vanished without a trace. They deeply realized that Gu Fei, this mage with reverse thinking, was an unsolvable problem for them. If they got too close, he could teleport over and kill them; if they stayed too far away, he could easily dodge their arrows and they couldn't hit him at all.

The three archers faced Gu Fei from a distance, no longer having any desire to attack. But as soon as Gu Fei moved, they would immediately run away. The thief from before was nowhere to be seen.

Gu Fei helplessly ate fruit to restore his mana. Even so, it didn't attract any attacks. All everyone did was stare at Gu Fei from afar.

"Let me do it!" Gu Fei suddenly received a message from Jian Gui.

Jian Gui was currently nowhere to be seen. His Stealth, according to the time, should have expired long ago. Now it was after the end of a round of cooldown, and he had activated it again. Now that everyone was afraid to approach Gu Fei, they could only rely on Jian Gui to quietly sneak up on him.

Gu Fei had no choice but to wait boredly for Gu Fei's performance, but before he could wait, the system suddenly announced: The Young Master Elite Group wins!

The three archers and one thief really had no will to fight. After briefly discussing it in the mercenary channel and within the group, they withdrew from the match. Jian Gui, who was already approaching the three, was very bored by this and spread his hands towards Gu Fei after revealing his figure.

After the system quickly announced the results, Gu Fei and Jian Gui were also teleported out of the battle map.

Gu Fei immediately felt a very powerful aura pointing directly at him. He quickly turned around and saw the members of the Sihai Mercenary Group all glaring at him. Some had participated in the battle, some hadn't. Leading the charge was their leader, Reflection of the Age.

Gu Fei felt a little surprised. So many confrontation matches had been fought, and they were basically played with a willingness to admit defeat. The more polite ones would even come over and exchange pleasantries after the match. The only exception was the Muyun Mercenary Group, who had been kite-fighted, but their dissatisfaction was completely understandable. But what about today? What was going on today? How could the resentment of this group of people seem even greater than that of the Muyun Mercenary Group back then!

Gu Fei looked around and didn't see Han Jia Gongzi and the others. The Young Master Elite Group didn't have the habit of having the people who were eliminated first wait outside the arena for the others. It was entirely up to their own will, those who wanted to wait would wait, those who didn't want to wait would leave.

"Something seems wrong," Gu Fei said to Jian Gui beside him.

Jian Gui nodded and gradually disappeared before Gu Fei's eyes. Life, mana, and skill cooldowns would all be fully restored after leaving the battle map. Jian Gui unhesitatingly used Stealth, as he also realized that the situation was abnormal.

"Wow, seriously?" Gu Fei whispered to Jian Gui.

"You go first, I'll help you hold them back!" Jian Gui replied.

"Haha, thoughtful of you, but there's no need, you go your way," Gu Fei smiled. He had no intention of leaving. A fight? Just what he wanted, but today's opponents didn't seem so easy to deal with.

Jian Gui's attention was obviously no longer on Gu Fei. Gu Fei didn't know if he had left or not, but he saw the people from the Sihai Mercenary Group glare at Gu Fei fiercely before leaving in unison.

"Why didn't you destroy that kid!" someone asked Reflection of the Age indignantly. After being hacked out of the battle map and not being able to find that letter, Reflection of the Age had lamented Gu Fei's despicable behavior to the mercenary group's 99 members like a nagging old woman. This matter aroused great concern from the other two core members of Zongheng Sihai, Wushi Zhi Jian and Feng Xing.

Gu Fei's identity had been exposed, and as 27149, he still had some old grudges with Zongheng Sihai. The incident with Bu Xiao had greatly damaged Zongheng Sihai's reputation. Although Zongheng Sihai still grew to be the number one guild in Cloud City, Wushi Zhi Jian and Feng Xing, and other high-level personnel, always felt that this matter had created a very serious negative image for Zongheng Sihai. Without this incident, there might not have been the controversy in Cloud City over who was the number one guild, Zongheng Sihai or Duijiu Dange.

But having said that, the cause of this matter was Bu Xiao's dishonesty first, so even if Zongheng Sihai wanted to retaliate, they didn't have the face to bring up this old debt.

And today they had suffered another setback at this person's hands, the result of which was another silent loss. Poaching people was inherently unkind to begin with, so if they were outsmarted by someone, they could only condemn the other party for being even more unkind. This matter might resonate with the guild leaders who liked to poach people, but similarly, taking this topic to the public as a reason for revenge was very untenable. Everyone would definitely be laughing and talking about it: Zongheng Sihai unethically tried to poach someone, but encountered someone even more unethical, who conveniently turned them against each other…

Hearing these words, it would seem that Gu Fei was like the kind of dark hero who used killing to stop killing, used evil to control evil, and used shamelessness to destroy shamelessness.

As high-level guild members, they would always think about things from a broader perspective and wouldn't act on impulse. Reflection of the Age actually hated Gu Fei the most, but at this time he had to pretend to be profound and call everyone: "Let's withdraw first, we'll talk about this later."

How to talk about it later?

On the guild war, the three giants of Zongheng Sihai gathered together to discuss this topic in hushed tones.

"That guy is actually a member of Rebirth Purple Crystal! Tsk tsk!" As the guild leader, Wushi Zhi Jian's thoughts were a little off track from the beginning. Under the silent gaze of the other two, he quickly returned to the right path: "Uh, what are your opinions?"

"Kill! Ambush, lay in wait, hunt down!" PK was the most direct way to solve problems in online games, and Feng Xing's idea was that simple.

However, Reflection of the Age felt that just killing wasn't satisfying enough. After losing the letter, he began to consider whether Yutian Shenming, who was in their guild, had anything that could be used. He wanted to repay them in their own coin. But at the moment, there was no opportunity to use it, so it seemed that this matter had to be kept in mind and be prepared at all times.

"Hmm…" Reflection of the Age and Feng Xing, one hoping for a clever approach and the other suggesting a forceful one, both looked at Wushi Zhi Jian, waiting for him to decide. Wushi Zhi Jian pondered for a long time and finally decided: "Let's do as Reflection said! Everyone in the Young Master Elite Group is a master, and I don't know what their intentions are. Find an opportunity to clean up this Qian Li Yizui while also hitting these masters. Two birds with one stone."

Reflection of the Age naturally agreed with both hands. Feng Xing clenched his fists, but in the end, he didn't say a word.

The guild war was currently the least suspenseful. The three core figures of Zongheng Sihai were absent-mindedly distracted on the sidelines, but they couldn't stop Zongheng Sihai's victory. In less than half an hour, the other party had been wiped out by them.

At this time, Gu Fei had nothing to do during the guild war. He also felt that the wanted missions were not challenging as he always killed newbies. He was diligently grinding monsters in the wilderness to practice his skills. At this time, the system prompted that he had received a letter. Gu Fei didn't take it seriously at all and continued to immerse himself in the fun of kung fu monster slaying.

When he went offline and returned to the city, he picked up the letter conveniently when passing through the city gate. He took it out and looked at it, and three words were written in large characters on the envelope: Challenge!

"I rely on!!!!" Gu Fei's blood was instantly ignited.
