Chapter 20

The four girls immediately wanted to turn back, only to find that the other end of the street was also blocked. July quickly sent a message in the guild channel: "Everyone, stay in your rooms and don't come out."

The girls all asked what was happening. July only replied, "Just listen." Looking back, the group blocking their retreat moved forward, intentionally or unintentionally, stopping right in front of the Rebirth Amethyst Guild entrance. July's heart leaped into her throat. She hurriedly reminded everyone in the guild channel not to come out. The girls were very obedient and stayed in their rooms, and July finally breathed a sigh of relief.

One end of the street was already blocked. Although this side was a relatively open intersection, Bu Xiao's men were also pressing in, and the curious onlookers crowded in to fill the gaps, forming an impenetrable encirclement. With just the four of them, there was absolutely no way to break through.

"What do you want?" July could only speak to the person she didn't even want to see.

"What do I want?" Bu Xiao asked, letting out a strange laugh. "Don't think I don't know you found someone to deal with me. But I won't hold that against you. You tell me who they are, and we'll call it even."

July chuckled coldly. "Once wasn't enough? Do you think I'd believe your lies a second time?"

Bu Xiao's smile became a little awkward. "I'm telling the truth this time."

July shook her head and sighed. "You can still laugh so freely after being killed four times. You truly are an actor."

Bu Xiao's expression froze. July's words clearly hit a nerve. In an instant, Bu Xiao lost his patience and raised his voice by several octaves, threatening, "If you don't tell me who they are, I'll have to hold you responsible!"

"Okay! How will you do that? Make me lose four levels too?" July asked with a smile.

Bu Xiao was once again speechless. Before he could retort, July added, "I'm not even level 30 yet. Even if I lose levels, the loss won't be too great."

Bu Xiao's face turned green again. This was very true. Since the experience required to level up increased dramatically starting at level 30, Bu Xiao's experience loss from level 30 to 29 alone was staggering. He was a highly ranked player on the leaderboard, and he had already accumulated a lot of experience at level 30. Now that he had dropped from level 30 to level 26, these four levels alone could be said to have cost him half of his efforts since entering the game. How could Bu Xiao not be furious?

From body to spirit, Bu Xiao had been constantly tormented, and he desperately needed an outlet to vent. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Since that's the case, I'll make you lose four levels first! You four, one level each!"

A person mixed in with the crowd trying to watch the excitement wanted to rush into the arena but was grabbed by someone beside him.

"What are you doing?" Gu Fei turned to look at Han Jia Gongzi.

While July and Bu Xiao were exchanging words, Luo Luo had already sent a signal to Han Jia Gongzi. Little Lei Bar was very close to this street, and the six of them quickly arrived at the scene and squeezed in with the other onlookers. Seeing that the two sides were not agreeing and Bu Xiao was about to attack, Gu Fei resolutely prepared to step in and help, but was stopped by Han Jia Gongzi.

"It's no use even if you go," Han Jia Gongzi messaged Gu Fei. "There are too many of them. Going in is just throwing your life away. What's the point?"

"What's your idea?" Gu Fei asked.

"Just like that girl said, their loss wouldn't be great..."

"Damn it!" Gu Fei shook off Han Jia Gongzi's hand. "This isn't a math problem." After saying this, Gu Fei squeezed out of the crowd.

In the arena, Bu Xiao waved his hand, and several of Zong Heng Si Hai's members rushed out, sandwiching July and the other three in the middle, waiting for Bu Xiao's order to launch a deadly attack.

"I'll give you one last chance to change your mind. I don't think you want to watch your sisters die with you, do you?" Bu Xiao sneered confidently. He understood July even better than she understood him.

"Go to hell! You despicable, shameless, and lewd bastard!" Someone answered before July could, it was Lie Lie, whose temper was never good. She despised Bu Xiao's face from the bottom of her heart. After quickly answering, she quickly made a move. Her foot stomped on the ground, and she charged forward diagonally, using the Fighter's level 24 skill she had used on Gu Fei that day: Ce Ma Liu Xing (Galloping Meteor).

Accelerating and increasing attack power, aiming straight for Bu Xiao.

"July!!" July shouted from behind, and Luo Luo also quickly cast a healing spell on Lie Lie. At the same time as she charged out, someone from the crowd beside Bu Xiao also rushed out, in the same posture, using the same move: Ce Ma Liu Xing (Galloping Meteor).

Two Fighters using the same move collided. The determination of who was superior naturally depended on both sides' strength and speed. Lie Lie was obviously no match for her opponent. She was sent flying back by the opponent's Ce Ma Liu Xing (Galloping Meteor). Ce Ma Liu Xing (Galloping Meteor) came with an effect of dashing, so Lie Lie flew back, and the three of July that went forward to help her were also implicated and injured.

Bu Xiao sneered and was about to order everyone to attack when suddenly a person struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and stood in the middle of the arena, asking in confusion, "What's going on? Why are there so many people?"

"What's going on? Why did Qian Li rush out?" In the Elite Team's mercenary channel, Jian Gui and the others asked one after another.

"Because this isn't a math problem," Han Jia Gongzi replied irritably, leaving everyone confused.

"Everyone, prepare for battle. Yu Tian, find a place to ambush and prepare to snipe. Jian Gui, put on your mask and lurk. Wu Shang, how long can your Whirlwind Slash last? You Ge, who was that Fighter from Zong Heng Si Hai just now?" Han Jia Gongzi rattled off a series of instructions.

"Feng Xing, one of the four core members of Zong Heng Si Hai," You Ge answered.

"The scene is getting bigger and bigger, tsk! Everyone, be prepared. If Qian Li creates an opportunity, everyone immediately provide support," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"What if there's no opportunity?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked.

"Then we'll go back and continue drinking," Han Jia Gongzi said.

Everyone: "..."

Gu Fei, who had squeezed into the crowd and was shouting, attracted the attention of many people. July and the others looked at him in surprise. Little Rain was about to call out when July grabbed her and shook her head at her. Little Rain didn't understand, but she still obediently closed her mouth.

"What's going on, what's going on? Why are there so many people? Can we even get through?" Gu Fei asked while pretending to be an idiot and looking into the distance.

"Friend, please step aside," Bu Xiao said.

"I want to go over there." Gu Fei pointed to the other side of the street.

"Go somewhere else. We have business here," Bu Xiao said.

"What kind of business?" Gu Fei asked with a curious expression. But how could Bu Xiao explain this? Did he have to start with the online game grudges from n years ago? Of course, he didn't have the patience for that. He immediately exuded an aura of dominance and said in a pompous manner, "Haven't you heard of Zong Heng Si Hai? We're handling business here. Go around! Or wait on the side."

"Oh, oh, then I'll wait." Gu Fei stepped back, folded his arms across his chest, and stood next to Bu Xiao.

The eyes of the entire audience refocused on him.

"There's a show!" Jian Gui said in the mercenary channel.

"There's no show! At most, he'll slash Bu Xiao one more time. What use is that for the current situation?" Han Jia Gongzi didn't think so.

"Keep it down. Qian Li can see what we're saying in the mercenary channel. Be careful he'll slash you when he gets back," Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

"I'm afraid of him!" Han Jia Gongzi said, but in his heart, he suddenly felt a little nervous. If Gu Fei's broken knife was aimed at him, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

Bu Xiao looked at Gu Fei, who was standing casually beside him, and finally smiled helplessly. He waved his hand towards the crowd and said with a flourish, "Never mind him, everyone attack!"

"Attack, attack." Gu Fei also waved his hand, but halfway through, he changed direction, and two fingers suddenly stabbed towards Bu Xiao's eyes.

Even just waving fingers in front of one's own eyes would cause a sense of inexplicable panic, let alone Gu Fei stabbing so vigorously. Bu Xiao panicked for a moment, instinctively lowering his head and raising his arms to block. A sympathetic smile flashed across Gu Fei's lips. He spread his fingers, grabbed Bu Xiao's wrist, and twisted it backward. Bu Xiao's fingers involuntarily opened, and the dagger he was holding fell downwards in accordance with the laws of physics. Gu Fei reached out and caught it, then released Bu Xiao and flashed away, retreating to the base of the wall.

Everything happened in an instant. Even Bu Xiao himself didn't realize until five seconds later that the dagger in his hand was gone. Gu Fei leaned against the wall, examining Bu Xiao's dagger: "Whisper of the Wind, not a low attack! Agility +18, attack speed +10%, attached Thief skill Vanish, skill cooldown 15 minutes... not bad! Let me try it..."

"Uh, wrong class, can't activate it. So only Thieves can use it!" Gu Fei said regretfully.

Han Jia Gongzi and the others, who were still watching in the crowd, understood. The Vanish skill that Bu Xiao had suddenly used earlier wasn't from a skill scroll, but an attached skill on this dagger. Before players reached the level where they could learn the Vanish skill, this dagger could be said to have a very high value. And given the difficulty of leveling up in the Parallel World game, this value would obviously last for a long time.

Such a superb dagger was taken away by Gu Fei, and Bu Xiao couldn't believe it was real for a while.

"Still want your dagger back? If you do, tell them to stop." Gu Fei glanced over there. July and the other three were under siege, and the situation was already worrying.

"Stop, stop, stop for a moment!" Bu Xiao hurriedly shouted.

The few people over there stopped and turned back in confusion. They had rushed up to fight as soon as they heard Bu Xiao's order and hadn't noticed that at the same time, Bu Xiao's dagger had been snatched away by the guy next to him who was also shouting "Attack."

Bu Xiao's face was livid.

Gu Fei played with the dagger in his hand, his expression relaxed: "Tell your people to disperse, and I'll return the dagger to you immediately."

Bu Xiao hesitated. Would someone really give up such a superb piece of equipment so easily after getting their hands on it? Although it was somewhat unbelievable, he really had no other choice. Wiping out their levels might provide some mental satisfaction, but losing the equipment was an incalculable loss. After all, material civilization is the foundation of spiritual civilization.
