Chapter 1 Heated Battle in the Desert

The scorching sun hadn't set, and the sandstorm raged on.

In the boundless desert, a fierce battle of one against four was about to unfold.

And all the players watching this match were looking forward to... Feng Bujue's performance.

At this point, people didn't seem to care much whether Brother Jue would win or die... they simply wanted to see what kind of things this guy could still pull off.

"Brother Feng, are you really going to fight them alone?" After hearing Brother Jue's wild words, Tu Aotian showed a worried look on the side and asked in a deep voice.

"Ah... Brother Tu, you don't have to help me, just watch." Feng Bujue replied.

"Um..." Tu Aotian clenched his fists, as if making some kind of determination, and muttered, "I know... compared to Brother Feng, my level is far too low. Perhaps if I help, I will only become a burden to you... but... this concerns the survival of the village. If I just stand by and watch..."

"Then go clean up those guys." Feng Bujue seemed to have already guessed that Tu Aotian would say this. After hearing this, he casually pointed to the group of Long-Haired Fortress soldiers dozens of meters away, "That would be a great help to me."

"Brother Feng..." Tu Aotian thought for two seconds, then nodded firmly at Brother Jue with a determined look, "Okay! I understand!"

Feng Bujue was a smart man. If he wanted to, he could also be a gentle and understanding person. Therefore, at this moment, he thought of a more appropriate way to minimize the risk without hurting Tu Aotian's self-esteem.

That Tu Aotian was also a sensible person (rabbit). After the brief exchange with the Colonel just now, he had realized that his strength was still a level below that of the Long-Haired Six Heavenly Officials; he also knew that Brother Jue's actions were well-intentioned; therefore, he said "I understand" with a grateful heart.

"Hmph... kid, don't regret it!" Didiwei didn't take Tu Aotian seriously at all. When the latter bypassed him and the three of Corpse Saber and ran towards the group of soldiers, he still glared at Feng Bujue, threatening fiercely, "In front of my 'Long-Haired Water Bird Fist,' you won't even last ten seconds!"

As he said this, the three members of Corpse Saber Squad Two had already dispersed, quickly surrounding Feng Bujue. Including Didiwei in front, there were a total of four of them (and a rabbit), standing in the four directions of Brother Jue.

"Oh... is that so." Feng Bujue was calm, and after listening to the other party's declaration of victory, he immediately replied, "Then... ten, nine, eight, seven, six..."

In terms of taunting skills, these guys were simply not on the same level as Brother Jue.

Every word the enemy said, every expression they revealed, every action they took in front of Feng Bujue... could become an element for him to control the enemy's emotions and guide their behavior.

For example, at this moment, Brother Jue used the word "ten seconds" that Didiwei had just said casually, and only by counting down did he force the other party to attack; moreover, it was a reckless, all-out offensive... because by the time Didiwei started attacking, Brother Jue had already counted down five times.

"Long-Haired Water Bird Fist Ultimate. Soaring White Rei!" Didiwei stretched out his arms, and his large body flew like a swift swallow, soaring through the air.

"Five, four, three..." Facing that amazing ultimate, Feng Bujue calmly counted down while reaching into his bag to take out the Thunder Gem [Moving Like Thunder], and activated it just as the attack was about to arrive.

In the next second, white fighting spirit swept in like a strong wind, blasting out tears in the desert like a pair of giant wings.

However, Feng Bujue appeared unharmed in another place.

Chī——

Cleaver out, blood flashes.

This knife was stabbed at Reborn as King, because Feng Bujue had observed through his data perspective that he was the weakest among these people (and a rabbit).

Reborn as King indeed couldn't avoid Brother Jue's attack. After all, he was a player who specialized in healing and spiritual arts. In front of Brother Jue at five times the speed, he simply didn't have time to react.

"Ugh..." Reborn as King looked at the tip of the knife that had pierced through his back and out of his chest, letting out a muffled groan, but he immediately turned his head and muttered with his last breath, "I guessed right... it really did start with me... Heh..."

At this dying moment before turning into white light and disappearing, he actually let out a sneer.

"Two, one..." Feng Bujue didn't bother with him, counting on his own, and after counting to "zero," he started counting from one again, "One, two, three, four..."

"I know... if I engage you in close combat... I'm afraid no one can save me from being instantly killed..." Reborn as King continued, "So I've already made preparations to withstand your attack..." He paused for half a second, "Feng Bujue, I'm sorry, but when you came to my side, it was already destined that you would be defeated in this battle..."

Before he finished speaking, his whole body flashed with blue light, and a burst of lightning-like light suddenly enveloped Brother Jue.

Then, Reborn as King turned into white light, announcing his death...

"Eleven, twelve, thirteen..." Feng Bujue was undoubtedly hit by some skill released by the other party before his death, but he still didn't stop counting and didn't forget to look at Didiwei with a provocative look.

"Bastard! Stop counting!" Didiwei was already furious. Every number Feng Bujue counted was a mockery to him.

So... sometimes you can't speak too confidently, otherwise, you might dig your own grave.

"Long-Haired Water Bird Fist. Vermilion Bird Spreads Wings!" Didiwei quickly made another move, rushing from afar.

"Now's the chance! Let's go too!" Sanyu Qiangxi shouted at Transcending as King, also seizing the opportunity.

The twenty seconds or so just now were enough for Sanyu Qiangxi to summon his main summoning creature – [Corpse Tiger], and it was also enough for Transcending as King to make full offensive preparations on the side.

In this instant, the two of them and Didiwei attacked simultaneously from three directions, leaving no blind spots in the air or on the ground. And Feng Bujue's acceleration gem had already been used, so it was probably impossible to escape with speed advantage anymore...

Just at this moment!

"Oh... the outcome has already been decided." Suddenly, Feng Bujue stopped counting, flipped backward, and easily stood upside down, "Rankyaku - Ran!" (Storm Leg - Riot)

A flash of bloody light appeared around him, and fighting spirit rose. This was the first time he activated [Spiritual Sense Gathering - Modified] in this script; and the most chaotic move among the [Rankyaku] techniques suddenly appeared in this state. In an instant, hundreds of slashes flew in all directions, wreaking indiscriminate destruction.

"How is this possible!" Sanyu Qiangxi was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly controlled the Corpse Tiger to block the attack for himself.

"This... why is this happening?" Transcending as King didn't have such a good time. He concentrated all his attention and fighting spirit on the offensive moves, without any reserve force for defense, nor did he leave himself any room to retreat or maneuver because... he had already determined that Feng Bujue would definitely not be able to resist.

…………

Thirty minutes ago, outside the Long-Haired Fortress.

"Captain, Transcending, what do you think about Feng Bujue?" Reborn as King asked his two teammates this question before setting off.

It seemed... he was preparing to make some tactical arrangements.

"Although I don't want to admit it... in terms of one-on-one combat, I'm afraid none of us are his match." Sanyu Qiangxi replied.

"I don't have any opinions anymore..." Transcending as King hadn't yet emerged from the shadow Ruo Yu brought, "If his strength is even more powerful than that Si Yu Ruoli from their team, I think... there really aren't many people who can win against him in a one-on-one fight..."

"Um..." Reborn as King nodded, "I basically agree with your point of view too..." He turned his head and looked at the several NPCs who were preparing the motorcycle team in the distance, "Although the strength of those Heavenly Officials is great, in the end... this is a contest between us players. The opponent is very likely to ignore these NPCs and directly come to kill a few of us. As long as they can quickly wipe us all out, it doesn't matter what happens afterward... anyway, it doesn't matter if we die after completing the main quest."

"Then what do you mean..." Sanyu Qiangxi gestured for him to continue.

"Let me be the bait." Reborn as King continued.

"What do you mean by that?" Sanyu Qiangxi didn't show much surprise, just asked the other party to explain the details.

"It's very simple." Reborn as King replied, "In team battles, the 'kill priority' is definitely higher for the enemy's ranged or support players; firstly, because these types of players can exert their effect the longer they survive in battle, and secondly, because their close combat specialization is usually not high, so once they are focused on, it's difficult to dodge or withstand." He paused, "Of course, there is also a 'priority' ranking method, which is based on strength... ignoring specialization, and starting with the weakest-looking one." As he said that, he raised his finger and pointed to himself, "But no matter which ranking method it is, the opponent has a very high probability... of prioritizing an attack on me."

"And this... has become the opportunity for you to be the 'bait'..." Sanyu Qiangxi had vaguely guessed the strategist's intention, so he followed up with a sentence.

"That's right." Reborn as King lowered his voice and replied, "You all know the value of my move [Chaotic Body Rush], right? If I can put this skill on Feng Bujue, even if I'm killed on the spot... it'll be worth it."

…………

[Name: Chaotic Body Rush]

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Skill Category: Spiritual Art]

[Effect: Causes the target's nervous system to produce random chaotic effects (only effective on "creatures" with nervous systems, lasts for ten minutes; limited to one use per script, cooldown time is eighteen hours in Free Exploration mode)]

[Consumption: None (Can only be used when survival value is below 30%)]

[Learning Conditions: Spiritual Art Specialization A]

[Remarks: An extremely high-level and complex ninjutsu, the caster can convert the chakra in their body into electrons and create an electric field, releasing electrons into the enemy's nervous system to disrupt the enemy's control over their body.]

This move was the true nature of the electric light that Reborn as King released on Brother Jue before his death.

Obviously, the members of Corpse Saber Squad Two had come prepared, and they had already formulated a strategy to kill the enemy's ace before the battle.

If everything went smoothly, Feng Bujue should have been killed by now.

However...

"You must be very puzzled..." After the storm of Rankyaku, Feng Bujue re-established himself, and opened his mouth without changing his expression or panting, "...why can I still move freely?"

Transcending as King had already been kicked to death, and couldn't answer his question.

However, Sanyu Qiangxi was still alive. The summoning creature had blocked most of the damage for him, and he still had a lot of survival value left: "You... could it be... that Reborn's skill wasn't successfully released?"

"No, he succeeded. I was indeed hit by his move [Chaotic Body Rush]." Feng Bujue replied, "In fact, at this very moment, I am still under the influence of this skill."

"Nonsense!" Sanyu Qiangxi said, "If you're hit by this move... don't even talk about fighting, you can't even do normal actions... unless someone..."

"Unless someone helps you... use specific skills or items to remove the effects of [Chaotic Body Rush], otherwise... the subject himself is powerless." Feng Bujue interrupted the other party and said directly, "That's right, usually that's the case. Under the condition of a chaotic nervous system, even if I have items in my bag that can remove the effect, I have no way to take them out... As for fighting or something, that's even more of a fantasy."

While they were saying these words, Didiwei, lying on the sand and dying, was still mumbling and groaning something, and on the other side, Tu Aotian had already cleaned up most of the soldiers...

Up to this point, the situation in this battle had completely reversed, and it had turned into a two-on-one situation with Feng Bujue and Tu Aotian against one.

"From your words, I can hear that you have personally experienced the effects of [Chaotic Body Rush]." Feng Bujue paused for a few seconds, and then said to Sanyu Qiangxi, "So I can try to explain it to you..." At this time, he had put away the cleaver in his hand and crossed his arms, "Um... actually, it's not difficult to break this move, you just need to 'adapt'."

"Adapt?" Sanyu Qiangxi was very puzzled by these words, "Adapt to what?"

"Adapt to the state of neurological disorder." Feng Bujue spread out his hands and said with a smile.

For some reason, people who saw this scene in front of the camera felt that when these words came out of his mouth... there was a strange persuasiveness.

"The effect of this move is nothing more than disrupting the 'commands the brain sends to the body' and mismatching them." Feng Bujue said again, "For example... you want to move your right thumb, but you blink your left eye, you want to lift your right foot, but you make your left hand raise its middle finger; things like that... Although this system of mismatches is random each time, there is only one set of rules during the duration of one skill. As long as you master this set of rules and convert your thinking into the corresponding mode, you can re-adapt and use your body..." He licked his lips, "To put it more bluntly... I spent about four seconds adapting to habits like 'blinking my left eye when I want to move my right hand' and 'raising my middle finger when I want to lift my right foot'."

"What a joke..." Sanyu Qiangxi didn't believe these words, "Do you think you're a god?"

99.99% of the audience didn't believe these words either...

But the people who knew that Feng Bujue possessed the [Zero Hour Differential Calculus] ability, as well as those first-rate experts who had fought with him, all understood... that this guy was telling the truth.

"Heh... speaking of gods..." At this time, Feng Bujue suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile, "You should also know 'Blood Corpse God', right?"

"Hmph..." Sanyu Qiangxi snorted coldly, "You want to summon a monster to secure your victory, is that it?"

"No, no, no..." Feng Bujue shook his head and glanced at Didiwei lying on the ground, "If my calculations are correct... at this moment, my teammates have probably already arrived at your Long-Haired Fortress and summoned the Blood Corpse God..." He sighed deeply, "I think... he can have a big meal this time..."
