Chapter 248 Fire

One of the two strikes triggered a magical attack, perfectly in line with Gu Fei's nearly 50% chance of adding fire magic. But nowadays, players weren't so easily killed instantly. Gu Fei intensified his assault on the mage while being careful to interrupt Yue Xia Dubai's (Moonlight Serenade’s) healing spells. As for the warrior, he was already slow-moving, and now he was caught in the mage's Ice Whirlwind. A distance of two or three meters was enough for him to crawl for a while, not to mention that he was currently five meters away.

Yue Xia Dubai, of course, wasn't so foolish. If he was too close, Gu Fei could interrupt his healing spell with a mere reach of his hand, so he simply needed to move further away. Healing spells weren't skills that could only be cast at close range.

Hastily retreating a few steps, Yue Xia Dubai raised his staff again to chant.

"Hey!" Gu Fei shouted loudly, and Yue Xia Dubai saw a blur before his eyes. Gu Fei had actually directly flung the Baptism of Fire in his right hand over. Yue Xia Dubai hadn't retreated very far, and now he was struck on the forehead by the blade, interrupting his chant again. Gu Fei had already switched the sword to his right hand and stabbed the mage twice more in quick succession. The pitiful mage could only take a beating when Gu Fei got close, and he waited in vain for Yue Xia Dubai's healing spell, which was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Gu Fei's luck exploded. The Dark Night Flowing Light Sword not only dealt a critical hit but also triggered a magical attack. Coupled with his already impressive physical attack, the mage cast a resentful glance at Yue Xia Dubai after two strikes and departed this world.

At this time, the warrior finally slowly and clumsily approached within two meters, burying his head and charging forward. Gu Fei dodged with a leap and, with the momentum, slashed his sword towards Yue Xia Dubai.

The priest, having lost his protection, was just as pitiable as the mage. Gu Fei hooked his foot, picking up the Baptism of Fire on the ground again. With a sword in one hand and a blade in the other, he didn't care whether or not they would hit and simply swung them together at Yue Xia Dubai. Even his legs weren't idle, occasionally kicking Yue Xia Dubai.

It was also Yue Xia Dubai's bad timing. Gu Fei usually wouldn't be so unrestrained in PK, not wasting time on attacks that didn't deal damage. But now he had to demonstrate kung fu for his students! Yue Xia Dubai became the perfect sacrifice, constantly retreating as Gu Fei beat him. The warrior on the other side was also on the verge of tears. The freezing effect of the Ice Whirlwind on his body hadn't worn off yet, and he watched as Gu Fei beat Yue Xia Dubai further and further away from him. He wanted to go and help but his speed was truly lacking. He cursed the mage for using so much equipment that enhanced freezing, the effect lasting for so long.

Poor Yue Xia Dubai, a priest without any combat abilities, was beaten to death by Gu Fei's chaotic assault. What was most infuriating was that Gu Fei even smiled at him before he died and said, "See you in the competition!"

By the time this siege ended, the warrior had finally shaken off the freezing effect. But the problem was, if Gu Fei didn't have to run from his enemies, what could he do with his little speed?

Gu Fei made a wide circle, bypassing him and heading straight for the students' direction.

When the Black Hand's group was being bullied by Gu Fei, the guys from the small guild didn't come up to help at all, and instead went all out to bully the students.

However, after having taken a grand magic from Gu Fei, their numbers were at a disadvantage. The students gritted their teeth and resisted. Having sacrificed three people, they weren't completely defeated in such a short time.

"I'm here!" Gu Fei shouted loudly, pointing his sword to the sky and roaring, "Fire Tree Thousand Flame, rise! Heavenly Fire Wheel, descend!"

This time, Gu Fei's chanting was thunderous, his enunciation clear. The guys from the small guild, hearing another spell combination, had learned their lesson this time and didn't dare to flee in panic immediately. They wanted to identify the direction Gu Fei's sword was pointing.

Gu Fei didn't use any tricks, steadily pointing them in a direction. Everyone hurriedly dodged in that direction. Although they had heard Gu Fei and Yue Xia Dubai's conversation, it seemed like he had no mana or something, but as a result, he turned around and killed a person with a lightning strike. When he turned around to hack at people, the Dual Flame Flash seemed to be flashing. Knowing that it could instantly kill a mage, no one dared to expose their body to it and bet on whether or not Gu Fei still had mana.

As a result, this dodge was of course a trap. Gu Fei had already used up all his mana after that lightning strike.

The players from the small guild were only concerned with Gu Fei's terrifying attacks, and the students seized the opportunity to bombard them, with spells and arrows raining down. Although the power wasn't great, a wave of attacks caused a serious decrease in the opponent's health. The students shouted and swarmed forward, while Gu Fei rushed over, anxiously shouting, "Hey, leave me a few."

"Teacher, watch us!" The students thought Gu Fei was worried about them. They shouted bravely and killed even more diligently, truly not understanding their teacher Gu Fei's true intentions at all.

Gu Fei didn't care about being a role model at this time, rolling up his sleeves and rushing into the melee to snatch people to kill with the students. The students were still pushing forward in layers in an orderly manner, but Gu Fei charged straight at the opponent's core in a straight line, making A Fa shout anxiously from behind, "Teacher, get out quickly, I'm going to cast a spell."

"Cast it, cast it! I'll flash after you cast it!" Gu Fei shouted.

So A Fa waved his hand and cast a "Heavenly Fire Wheel".

But Gu Fei, who was within the circle, had no intention of leaving at all, and continued to hack wildly, forcing many people to have no time to dodge the Heavenly Fire Wheel.

The Fire Wheel descended. Gu Fei was right in the middle. The players from the small guild already had incomplete health, and this spell instantly wiped out quite a few more. Gu Fei did a quick count and found that there were still seven people left. A Fa shouted from behind, "Teacher, why aren't you flashing?"

Gu Fei glanced back at him and couldn't help but despise him, "Flash for what? Do you think you're me?"

The students burst into laughter. Indeed, A Fa's spell damage wasn't on the same level as Gu Fei's at all. If Gu Fei's Heavenly Fire Wheel couldn't be dodged, you could just return to the city directly, but A Fa's definitely couldn't kill instantly. It was no big deal to take it head-on without worrying about the loss of health.

Gu Fei struck with his hand, and another person fell. He asked the remaining six people, "How about it? Let's call it quits?"

The guild leader of the small guild had already died in the melee. At this time, none of the six people could make a decision, and they didn't know what to say. Gu Fei glanced at another direction and saw that the warrior of the Black Hand Mercenary Group was already standing still.

Experts! Their level of judging the situation was still relatively high. With a comparison, they knew that they had no chance of winning. If they continued to fight, they wouldn't be able to complete the task, and they would lose a level if they died.

"Everyone is just doing a task, no need to be so extreme, you guys go!" Gu Fei waved his hand generously. The six people looked at each other, and after exchanging glances with the warrior of the Black Hand Mercenary Group, they didn't know what kind of exchange they had, and the seven people retreated together with their heads lowered.

Looking back at the students, they were so excited and flushed with excitement after winning a fight. They were arguing about how well they had performed in the battle just now.

"Stop arguing!" Gu Fei put the blade back into his pocket and shouted, raising his sword, "Class monitor, where are you? Come out and organize the team to return to the city."

"The class monitor is dead!" The students said, with no sadness in their tone at all, only gloating. Gu Fei suspected that these kids had pushed the class monitor into the line of fire, otherwise why would they be so happy!

Then, after lining up and counting the numbers, the students had also sacrificed six people. Fortunately, they were all killed by the opponent's guild members, which meant they only lost 20% of their experience.

The opponents were miserable. Most of them died at Gu Fei's hands and lost levels. Especially Yue Xia Dubai and the other three from the Black Hand Mercenary Group, who were relatively high-level players. The experience loss of losing a level was much more terrible than that of low-level players.

"Alright, let's go back to the city!" Gu Fei waved his hand. The students lined up and continued to advance towards Cloud City in orderly steps. At this time, they were in a state of excitement, and the team was chattering non-stop.

Through this battle, the students fully realized the life philosophy that it was good to enjoy the cool under a big tree. If it weren't for Teacher Gu Fei tonight, the students would have been bullied in vain. As for A Fa, the most powerful among them, to borrow Teacher Gu Fei's description, "Do you think you're me?" It fully proved that the two were not on the same level at all.

The students were very excited, and Gu Fei didn't pour cold water on them this time. He followed behind the team with a smile.

Compared to the lively scene here, the guys who were killed and returned to Cloud City were not feeling well. Of course, after all, this was the content of the two-way task. The resentment of the losers mainly lay in the failure to complete the task and the losses from the failed battle. They generally didn't have any resentment towards their opponents.

However, Yue Xia Dubai and the others from the Black Hand Mercenary Group were even more depressed. They failed to help the employer complete the task. According to the rules set by the Black Hand Mercenary Group to establish an image, they would not only return the deposit but also compensate the full amount.

Simply put, although the small guild's task failed, the Black Hand Mercenary Group insured them. At this time, compensating some money could be regarded as comforting their injured hearts. As for the Black Hand Mercenary Group? People died, money was compensated, and what was even more depressing was that the sign of 100% task completion was also smashed.

Of course, they very much hoped to have the opportunity to recover from the defeat. So when the guild leader of the small guild inquired about the refund and compensation matters with Yue Xia Dubai, Yue Xia Dubai couldn't help but ask, "Does the task content already show failure?"

"Uh, not yet."

"Then do you still want to complete it?"

"Of course."

"Then we'll gather people again to help you do it again. The price will still be the same as originally agreed, how about it?"

The small guild was of course overjoyed and agreed repeatedly.

"Well, go to the mercenary building and submit an employment request to our mercenary group. We'll take the system route this time."

The people from the small guild went immediately. Knowing that the task was a two-way task, everyone would choose to take the system route.

Yue Xia Dubai reported to the mercenary channel. Hearing that the opponent had hired Young Master's elite team, many people in the Black Hand Mercenary Group were very interested and signed up to participate in this operation. A team was reorganized in Cloud City.
