Seeing that no one seemed to care about him, Ming Du said, “If you guys don’t pay attention to me, then I’ll be on my way...” After saying his piece, Ming Du lifted his foot and started walking out. The moment his front leg stepped out of the resurrection point, the Archers, including Sanguine Rain and Sanguine Red, all pointed their bows at him.
When Ming Du saw this, he cheekily smiled and said, “Heh, trying to hit me?”
“...” At this moment, all eyes were staring at him.
“Watch closely, I’m stepping through now!”
Ming Du leaped forward and out of the resurrection point.
“Swish swish swish!”
The sound of simultaneous arrow shots rang out. At the same moment, Ming Du jumped back into the resurrection point. All of the previously shot arrows fell on the floor, hitting nothing but air.
Once inside the resurrection point, Ming Du pointed his middle finger at the people surrounding him and said, “I’m back in now. Come and get me...”
Looking at Ming Du using such cheap tricks, Captain Don’t Open Fire was furious to the point where he almost started spitting blood out.
“If you have the guts, try stepping out again!” Captain Don’t Open Fire angrily shouted.
Ming Du taunted, “If you call me daddy, daddy shall listen to your instructions.”
“F*ck!!!” Upon hearing this, Captain Don’t Open Fire went mad, he swung his weapon forward, ready to charge into the resurrection point to beat Ming Du up. Luckily, he was stopped by Sanguine Thorn and Sanguine Wolf who were by his side.
Sanguine Wolf said, “Captain, there’s no point in letting yourself stoop down to his level. Do not waste your energy.”
Sanguine Wolf was once from Sanguine Alliance and was also a renowned expert. He had heard many things regarding the people from Quan Zhen Sect and knew what kind of a person Ming Du was.
Captain Don’t Open Fire was someone who heeded others’ pieces of advice. When he heard Sanguine Wolf’s advice, he immediately calmed down and stared coldly at Ming Du.
Seeing that he had nothing to do within the resurrection point, Ming Du started provoking the people surrounding him. The entire gang from Void Blade was raging at his antics.
As time passed, Ming Du was tired of trying to provoke them. At this moment, Vainglory stepped out of another resurrection point, causing the people from Void Blade to shift their attention to him.
Vainglory wasn’t as despicable and childish as Ming Du. However, it was normally the more childish ones that manage to provoke more wrath from people.
When Vainglory grew tired of playing too, Ling Longmeng stepped out of the Archer’s resurrection point, pointed at everyone and said, “Quick! Address your Nanny!”
The three of them took turns continuously provoking Void Blade.
The people from Void Blade setting up the blockade were all experts. Continuously hearing a bunch of bored brats naming themselves as the people’s family elders, all of their fighting spirits were ignited and they could not wait to tear the three brats apart.
After a long while, the usually calm Sanguine Rain suddenly spoke up to Captain Don’t Open Fire, “Captain, don’t you find that things are weird?”
“Oh? What’s the issue?” Captain Don’t Open Fire asked.
“Quan Zhen Sect’s reinforcements have yet to arrive after such a long time?” Sanguine Rain replied.
Within the entire blocked out area, there were only those three people. Sanguine Rain and the rest came here to block Quan Zhen Sect’s reinforcement army, but after getting provoked by the three of them, the people from Void Blade forgot their main purpose of being here.
“Eh? You’re right, it’s been so long and they still have yet to show up...” Captain Don’t Open Fire started to take notice of the issue. Just when he was about to open up the guild chat to check for any traces of players from Quan Zhen Sect, he received a message, stating, “Boss, we have been ambushed.”
“What? Ambushed? Who ambushed you?” Captain Don’t Open Fire carefully asked. “In total, there were seven players. The head of the group was a Shaman. His poison was terrifyingly effective. The other six were all Magicians. With a single use of their abilities, they decimated our entire team. We were not able to identify them as the system notified us that they were using tools to hide their identities...”
“F*ck! It’s Quan Zhen Sect!” Upon receiving the news, Captain Don’t Open Fire couldn’t help but shout.
“Seven people? One Shaman and six Magicians could destroy an entire team? Since when did Quan Zhen Sect have so many Magicians?” a person by the side of Captain Don’t Open Fire frowned and said.
This person was also a Magician, named Destruction Of Heaven And Earth, and was a professional expert scouted by Captain Don’t Open Fire. He was a person that would normally keep to himself, but after hearing the mentioning of Magicians, he could not help but get curious about it.
Captain Don’t Open Fire said, “It’s an ability of Quan Zhen Sect’s Shaman. The other six were not Magicians but were summoned ghosts!”
“Isn’t that the skill [Call of the Abyss]?” Sanguine Rain was shocked. “Who would have thought such a scary ability would actually fall into the hands of Quan Zhen Sect? If they were to use this ability against us in the ambush in the morning, I’m afraid we would not have been able to complete it so easily.”
Spring Halo’s ability to use [Call of the Abyss] was not actually a secret. However, Sanguine Rain was always training and rarely got involved in matters relating to the Sanguine Alliance. Thus, he did not know of Spring Halo’s ability to use the skill.
Professional experts mostly took part in the beta testing; thus, Sanguine Rain was fully aware of how powerful [Call of the Abyss] actually was.
Destruction Of Heaven And Earth said in disdain, “Hmph, so what if you can summon a few ghosts? Being able to control such trashy summons would only allow them to act as meat shields at most.”
Destruction Of Heaven And Earth was right. Summoning creatures to fight required actual real-life skills. It not only has a heavy reliance on the reactions of the player, but it also requires extraordinary calculations to control the individual units of the summoned creatures. In other words, the more creatures summoned, the harder it would be to control them. An ordinary player would already struggle to control two creatures, let alone six.
Captain Don’t Open Fire said, “That Spring Halo is talented. During the beta testing phase, I came into contact with him. He is a relatively scary person.”
“Is that so? I shall visit him someday when I have the time.” Destruction Of Heaven And Earth smiled as he said. Destruction Of Heaven And Earth was not someone who lived in the clouds and ignorant. Seeing that Captain Don’t Open Fire looked highly of Spring Halo, he did not retort his statement and only smiled.
Just when Captain Don’t Open Fire was talking with the two, another message came from the guild. “Boss, we were all killed, it was Quan Zhen Sect’s Priest...”
“Priest? How can a Priest kill anybody?” Captain Don’t Open Fire started to feel skeptical over the entire situation. A priest had very low damage output. Even though they had a lot of control skills, there were all on a small scale. Killing players was definitely not something a Priest was capable of.
“I don’t know what kind of magic he used, but he trapped us and started torturing us to death one by one...” The victim sounded depressed. Clearly, Fearless’ methods were terrifying...
Upon hearing this, Captain Don’t Open Fire started to tremble.
“Boss, we were killed by two Warriors...”
“Boss, we were killed, we were stabbed in the back...”
“Boss, we were killed, we didn’t see the culprit, we only saw the arrow...”
...
Within the next few minutes, a chain of messages flashed across the screen. The players of Void Blade were simultaneously getting ambushed.
The time of death of the players was almost practically the same, and they were all done in by the Quan Zhen Sect. However, the death count was still increasing.
Seeing the continuous flashing of the death records on his screen, Captain Don’t Open Fire closed the chat interface and angrily shouted, “D*mn it! This group of b*stards actually dared to take the initiative and attack our men!”
Sanguine Rain worriedly said, “Instead of finding us for revenge, they actually went to find the others. This group of people clearly do not think and act like the rest. Perhaps we should get everyone to hide for the time being...”
