Hu Die Lan
Chapter 43 Law-Infused Attack
Han Jia Gongzi was about to curse when he saw a figure gradually appearing in front of Gu Fei's horizontal blade, staring at Gu Fei in disbelief. It was the thief who had tried to escape, the protagonist of this operation: Bu Xiao.
The valley was silent. Everyone stared at Gu Fei with blank expressions, except for Jian Gui, who looked more natural. It wasn't the first time he'd seen this.
"Go back," Gu Fei said calmly.
Bu Xiao suddenly laughed. He had already used Appraisal on Gu Fei. Although he still didn't understand how this guy had discovered his stealth, there was no doubt that this was a mage with garbage equipment. His level was quite high, but he was holding a single blade, and some Flame Baptism at that.
What? Trying to scare me? Bu Xiao now suspected that Gu Fei was just a lucky dog who had accidentally stumbled upon him. He had been bluffed out by this guy's trickery. Taking advantage of the fact that the other five were still far away, Bu Xiao launched an attack on Gu Fei without hesitation.
At this distance, dealing with a mage was just a matter of two or three strikes, wasn't it? Even if there was a priest on the side, it would be difficult to save him. Everyone would think so, and Bu Xiao was no exception. Han Jia Gongzi and the others were also anxious and busy rushing over to help.
No one expected Gu Fei to simply take a step back, causing Bu Xiao's strike to miss. Then, with a bend of his arm, Flame Baptism slashed back at Bu Xiao.
The speed of the attack greatly exceeded Bu Xiao's expectations. In a panic, he hurriedly swung his dagger to block. This was already the result of the players' cultivation after a period of playing the realistic virtual game: not relying on hit points to withstand attacks.
Sharp players had now discovered that to maximize damage, one needed to grasp the timing and location of the attack. To turn the enemy's attack into a miss, the player also needed to make a dodging or blocking action. If you stood up straight with your chest out, you would be hit one hundred percent. There would never be a situation where your evasion was high, the opponent's accuracy was low, so all their attacks missed you.
This little discovery was naturally nothing to Gu Fei. He had been playing the game with this attitude from the beginning.
Currently, his situation was somewhat the opposite of the players. The current players generally possessed the ability to dodge, but because they lacked this awareness, or rather, lacked the insight to see the opponent's attacks, their abilities were not fully utilized. Gu Fei, on the other hand, did not lack awareness, nor did he lack the ability to see through the opponent's attacks. He only complained that his body was not fast enough and his strength was not great enough.
Players could not bring out the abilities set in the game due to their own problems.
Gu Fei felt that the limitations of the data in the game prevented him from fully exerting his abilities.
From time to time, some attacks, Gu Fei could see clearly, but in the end, his body could not keep up with the rhythm, leading to a failed dodge. This happened to him occasionally, making him very depressed.
But in front of the players, Gu Fei's advantage was too obvious.
Bu Xiao thought that he had accomplished his mission by holding his dagger up to block. How could he know that Gu Fei's slash contained several follow-up changes in his kung fu moves? Someone blocking with a horizontal blade, such an ordinary response, was naturally within the range of this blade's changes. Gu Fei casually bent his wrist, and the blade had already changed direction, changing from a slash to a chop, and diagonally struck Bu Xiao's waist.
The dark red blade suddenly flashed, and a ray of fire streaked across the entire blade, as if it was burning, and finally converged at the point where it hit Bu Xiao. The 30% chance was triggered, and the fire magic attack was activated.
Although Gu Fei had not added any points to intelligence, mages naturally had a high intelligence growth rate. This was an advantage gained by sacrificing strength and constitution growth. As the level increased, the mage's naturally grown mana was much fuller than that of most professions. The fire magic damage produced by this strike was completely different from the fire magic damage produced by an ordinary warrior.
Bu Xiao took this blow, and it was not particularly uncomfortable to withstand with his defense, but the fire magic damage that followed made him suffer a lot. The thief was also a profession with thin blood, and his hit points immediately dropped by half. Greatly alarmed, Gu Fei's second blade had already arrived.
Bu Xiao raised his dagger to block, but where could he capture Gu Fei's such technically advanced attack moves? Flame Baptism once again bypassed Bu Xiao's dagger in mid-air and landed on his shoulder.
Bu Xiao's heart turned cold, and he could only close his eyes and wait for death. Who knew that the fire magic was not activated this time. Just as he was secretly rejoicing, Gu Fei's third blade had already swung.
Such a continuous attack was simply the style of a thief. Bu Xiao was completely speechless. He once suspected that there was something wrong with his Appraisal skill, or that the other party had some more advanced anti-Appraisal skill. Jing Hua Shui Yue (Mirror Flower Water Moon) Soul-Reaving Magic? He had never heard of such a skill!
Bu Xiao did not resist at all with the third blade, but raised his arm and tried to pull off the black cloth covering Gu Fei's face. Of course, Gu Fei did not let him succeed. While dodging, he continued to slash this blade at Bu Xiao without abandoning him.
The fire magic damage was activated again. The fire flashed and was about to engulf Bu Xiao when suddenly a white light descended on his head.
Healing spell!
Bu Xiao's life was saved by this healing spell. He looked back in surprise at the only priest present: Han Jia Gongzi.
Gu Fei also stopped attacking. He was about to finish off the character, but he suddenly offered assistance, so naturally he had something to say. You Ge, Zhan Wu Shang, and the others were originally going to rush up to help, but they stopped when they saw Gu Fei start chopping Bu Xiao with his blade. A mage chopping a thief with a blade, the few of them were a little unable to process what they were seeing. Especially these legendary online game experts, their deeply rooted traditional online game concepts made them feel that they must be seeing things.
In the time that they were dazed, Gu Fei had finished three slashes, and Han Jia Gongzi's healing spell had been used. Only then did the few of them recover. They quickly rushed forward again and surrounded Bu Xiao in the middle.
Bu Xiao was the final target of everyone, but everyone's eyes were on Gu Fei.
Only Han Jia Gongzi's position was still firm. He looked at Bu Xiao and asked in a lukewarm tone, "Bu Xiao?"
Bu Xiao nodded, sizing up the few guys surrounding him. All of them were wearing black cloths over their faces. And the one who was talking to him seemed to be wearing more than one piece of cloth. The one who was speaking in this situation should be the leader of this group. Could it be that wearing a few more pieces of cloth on the face was the sign of a leader? From being ambushed to being exposed to being chopped by a mage with a blade to seeing Han Jia Gongzi with three pieces of cloth on his face, Bu Xiao's head was filled with question marks, and he was in a state of considerable suspicion.
"Do you know who we are?" Han Jia Gongzi said.
Bu Xiao shook his head.
"That's good." Han Jia Gongzi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stop talking nonsense," Jian Gui rolled his eyes.
Han Jia Gongzi nodded and pointed at Bu Xiao. "You, have you heard of the Rebirth Purple Crystal guild?"
"You?" Bu Xiao was shocked. Even others could associate him with his past grievances with Qi Yue, let alone himself. Who knew that Han Jia Gongzi would say next: "I don't know what opinions you have about Rebirth Purple Crystal, but I have two younger sisters in that guild. So, if you go looking for trouble with Rebirth Purple Crystal, we will look for trouble with you, understand?"
Bu Xiao did not speak.
Han Jia Gongzi did not force him to answer, but continued to say calmly: "Today's matter is to give you a warning first. Alright, your brothers are all dead. We came for you today, there's no reason not to kill you..." After saying that, he winked at the side. Jian Gui stepped forward, his dagger danced lightly for a moment, and in the face of Bu Xiao's surprised eyes, he finished him off.
"Let's wrap it up!" Han Jia Gongzi said.
Everyone nodded, and suddenly swarmed up, grabbing Gu Fei. You Ge reached out and tore off the black cloth on his face.
"What are you doing?" Gu Fei was caught off guard this time. He couldn't defend against it. That's why they say friends are scarier than enemies!
"It's really Qian Li!" Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted.
"Nonsense!" Gu Fei said depressedly.
Han Jia Gongzi tore off the three pieces of cloth on his face and walked forward, turning Gu Fei's head left and right to look at it. Gu Fei wanted to resist, but unfortunately, the one holding him from behind was Zhan Wu Shang, who simply raised a finger and suppressed Gu Fei's resistance.
Han Jia Gongzi studied Gu Fei's face and asked You Ge, "There aren't any disguise or modification skills in the game, right?"
"I don't think so!" You Ge, who was always confident in his information, was a little hesitant at this time. He also stepped forward to study Gu Fei's face.
"Hey, that's enough, you guys!" Gu Fei said.
"It's really Qian Li," You Ge said.
"I think so too," Han Jia Gongzi said.
Zhan Wu Shang released Gu Fei from behind. Gu Fei stuffed the blade back into his pocket. The others still looked at him like a monster.
"Qian Li, did you add points to agility?" You Ge asked. This was the first time that the other members of the mercenary group, besides Jian Gui, had appreciated Gu Fei's skills.
Gu Fei nodded: "All agility."
Everyone looked at each other.
"How did you figure out this kind of training method...?" You Ge asked cautiously. He began to suspect that Gu Fei might be an internal member of the game company, who had access to many unreleased game data, otherwise who would add all points to agility for a mage at the beginning of a game? It was heaven-defying!
"Figure out what!" Gu Fei revealed the injustice of his wrong choice of mage. Naturally, there was no shortage of infinite annoyance at becoming a mage in his words. In addition, there was infinite yearning for becoming a fighter or even a warrior. This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Yu Tian Shen Ming, who was still full of love for mages even though he was no longer a mage: "Damn, what's wrong with mages? Training like you is simply a waste of a mage!"
"Alas!" Gu Fei sighed, "Adult things, you children don't understand."
Yu Tian Shen Ming's nose was crooked with anger.
The others were also a little strange: "Why is Qian Li so infatuated with fighters?"
"Because, I am originally a fighter who studies kung fu," Gu Fei said.
