Gu Fei passed through the alley and walked on the street. Just as he was about to reach the offline safe zone, he suddenly sensed movement beside him. He looked around and saw a figure dashing past him into the alley in front of him. Half of its head peeked out, and its target seemed to be … him.
What was going on? Gu Fei turned around to take another look. The two nimble heads were very cooperative as they hid behind the wall. Gu Fei turned his head and suddenly turned back, showing off his two heads again.
Gu Fei was in pain. There was no peace anywhere he went! Where there were people, there would be martial arts. This saying was too true. As he thought, Gu Fei drew out his new Dark Night Lightsaber.
There was a saying that the saber was like a fierce tiger, and the sword was like a flying phoenix. To put it nicely, it meant that the sword was elegant and focused on technique. In reality, it also meant that the sword's practicality and lethality were inferior to the saber in actual combat.
The saber was mainly used for slashing, while the sword was mainly used for stabbing. Comparing the two, it went without saying which was easier to deal damage and more powerful.
Although the sword also had the ability to slash, in reality, the blade was only used on one side. The sword had to be double-edged, which increased the difficulty of making it, and at the same time decreased the sword's ability to withstand attacks. Hence, on the battlefield, the position of the sword was eventually replaced by the saber. In the end, it was more of a symbol of status. The saying that scholars carried swords, while warriors carried sabers came from this.
Of course, Gu Fei's goal in learning martial arts was not to go on the battlefield. As a researcher, he had dabbled in many kinds of martial arts. The sword was one of the most common things, so of course, he had learned it from a young age. There was a saying in martial arts, "It's easy to change forms, but difficult to change the force." Those who studied hard and fierce martial arts would often be confused if they were suddenly taught Taiji Fist. The same was true for the transition between the saber and the sword.
Gu Fei was regarded as a talented person by his family because of his talent in this area. He could master all kinds of fist techniques and styles since a young age, so his family treated him like an encyclopedia of martial arts. All kinds of martial arts passed down in the family were taught to him. There were some things that weren't his forte, but Gu Fei didn't know how to do them after he turned 22.
The Gu family's swordplay had a long history in the world of martial arts. According to the elders in the family, it had been passed down N years ago and had been researched and changed by several experts. The original sword manual was still kept at home, and it was said that it was a bamboo version. It was a pity that Gu Fei did not have the chance to witness it. When he was learning this sword technique, his father gave him a CD, saying that he should use the methods of the 21st century. As for the legendary bamboo scroll version, his father said that Gu Fei would only have the right to see it when he was in charge of the family.
When Gu Fei was young and frivolous, this mysterious bamboo scroll had been his dream for many years. But now that he was old, his curiosity was no longer as strong as when he was young, so it didn't matter to him. From a practical point of view, the learning effect of the bamboo slips version was definitely not as outstanding as the CD-ROM version. Otherwise, why would humans say that they were improving?
With his sword in hand, Gu Fei pointed the tip of his sword to the ground and performed a sword salute, even though the enemies who were charging at him did not show themselves. Then he shouted, "Come out, I can already see you."
Immediately, two masked men flashed out from behind the wall, but before they could say anything, they saw two even faster hands coming out from behind them, and with lightning speed, they were pulled back. At the same time, they scolded in a voice loud enough that even Gu Fei could hear, "Stupid! They were just bluffing, and you were so easily tricked. "
Gu Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At the same time, he felt that these people were much cuter than the non-smilers.
He looked around and saw that everyone was calm. No one appeared again.
The players who were originally walking on the street suddenly disappeared. Those who wanted to go this way looked from afar and took a detour. This was more professional than Cloud Cloud City. Cloud Cloud City was still at the level of kindergarten, where a group of curious players would immediately surround a fight. And the players of Moonlit Night City had clearly begun to pay attention to self-protection.
The street was quiet, and the wind blew the dead leaves to Gu Fei's feet. This scene was too similar to a movie, but the lines were very boring. Gu Fei helplessly said again, "I really can see you."
"If you don't come out, I'm leaving."
"I'm really leaving."
Knowing where the other side was hiding, of course, he knew which path was empty. Gu Fei turned around and headed towards an alley to the side where no one was lying in ambush. The group was dumbfounded. A few more steps and he would have entered the encirclement. Why didn't he leave! Too shameless! Everyone thought with grief and indignation.
As the boss, he had to be good at adjusting his state in this kind of awkward situation and welcome new challenges. The boss of the Black Hand Mercenary Group stood up without hesitation and shouted, "Wait!"
Gu Fei turned around. All the people hiding in the corners, roofs, and doors had come out. The situation was a bit awkward. They originally wanted to surround Gu Fei, but now it was a standoff. Gu Fei was on one side, and everyone else was on the other.
"Who are you?" Gu Fei asked as he retreated.
"Black Hand Mercenary Group! Ouch! "As soon as this person finished speaking, he was slapped by the person next to him. At the same time, the boss turned around and glared at him. It was just that it wasn't good to kick someone in the middle of a fight, so he refrained from kicking him out of the mercenary group.
"What do you want?" Gu Fei asked.
This time, no one dared to say anything. Even the boss didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and everyone rushed towards Gu Fei.
However, the game was still divided into classes. Those who rushed up were all melee classes. Gu Fei glanced at them and saw that they were all Warriors. This was one of the classes that Gu Fei was currently afraid of. Warriors' attacks were heavy, so he didn't dare to use his weapon to block them. Also, the Warriors were wearing heavy armor, which made Gu Fei's attacks seem insignificant.
Other than the Warriors, there were also Rogues. However, they were very treacherously sneaking up behind the Warriors, thinking that Gu Fei didn't know. Of course, Gu Fei knew. It was just that he couldn't pinpoint their exact location. There were a few people. Because the situation was too chaotic, the Archers and Mages had already started attacking.
Good coordination! Gu Fei, who had accumulated a bit of combat experience in the game, could tell at a glance.
Archers had the fastest arrow speed. Some of them fired a sniper shot, while others fired a two-shot combo …
If it was an hour ago, an Archer's sniping would have been a huge challenge for Gu Fei. But now, he had the Night Streamer in his hand. He had just leveled up and added Dexterity, so his speed had risen to a whole new level. Gu Fei dodged to the side. Then came the Fireball from the Mage. This thing had an automatic homing effect, so it wasn't something that could be dodged just by twisting his body. Gu Fei madly ran a few steps before the Fireball lost its target.
This won't do! Gu Fei's heart tightened. The current situation was different from when he was in Cloud Cloud City. The enemy's Warriors were at the very front, acting as meat shields. If he couldn't break through their blockade and kill the Mages and Archers in the back, then he wouldn't have an opportunity to engage in melee combat. Not to mention, there were still Rogues lying in ambush waiting for an opportunity.
In that instant, Gu Fei thought of the rag hanging on a bamboo pole in the leveling area outside of Moonlit City. The players here lived up to their reputation of fighting in groups. Their formation was neat and orderly. The advantage of numbers was too obvious.
I can't fight them head on, Gu Fei thought. He turned around and ran back into the alley.
"Ah! He ran again! "someone from the Black Hand Mercenary Group shouted. When they saw Gu Fei run into the alley, they thought he was going to run. Who knew that when the boss shouted for him to wait, he would come back. Looking at him now, they thought he was going to fight them to the death. Who knew that he would turn around and run again. Why was he so unpredictable! Too shameless. Everyone thought.
"Hurry and chase!" the boss ordered. Everyone ran into the alley.
Gu Fei ran as fast as he could. Looking back, he revealed a victorious smile.
Running like this, the opponent's speed was different because of the way they added points. Their formation was still as clear as before, but it was a different method.
With the same Agility, the one running at the very front was the Rogues, who were willing to use Swift Movement. If it was just a normal speed, the Rogues would be slower than the Archers. After these two classes were the Mages and Knights. The Knights were slightly faster. In the parallel world, the Knights were a very balanced class. There were no absolute advantages or disadvantages in several attributes. This led to the Knights not having a unified way of adding points. There were all sorts of ways to add points. Those who added Agility would be slightly faster than the Mages. Currently, the normal Mages wouldn't put points into Agility.
After that, it was the Slow Warriors. The classes that were supposed to be the meat shields had fallen to the rear and became the back-up.
Gu Fei looked back as he ran. The Rogues who used Swift Movement were indeed incredible. They were already closing in step by step. The opponents cheered. They didn't think that Gu Fei would turn around to face the enemy. They only thought that he was already running away.
Estimating the pace of the Rogues behind him, Gu Fei counted in his mind: One, two, three, turn around!
Suddenly stopping, he turned around and slashed horizontally. This was one of Gu Fei's family's sword techniques, called Floating Cloud Slash.
Slashing wasn't the strong point of the sword, but this move was able to bring out the specialty of the sword. What specialty? Both sides had the characteristics of a blade.
It was said that when this move was used, it had to be like a floating cloud, making it hard to predict which side it would be used. When Gu Fei was young, he didn't understand it. Now that he had some attainments in Kung Fu, he felt that this move was a bit superfluous. You should just slash when you need to, but there was no need to spend so much effort to make it hard to predict which side it would be used. If there were differences between the two edges of the sword, then this move would still have some meaning. But in reality, if the two edges of the sword were different, then it would be considered an inferior product. Gu Fei guessed that the person who created this move must have been bullied by a blade, so he wanted to make the sword do something that a blade couldn't.
No matter what, Gu Fei's current slash was like a floating cloud. The two Rogues who were in the middle of Swift Movement weren't able to stop in time.
The two screamed as they retreated. Gu Fei took a step forward and slashed again. But halfway through, the sword suddenly stopped and stabbed at a less vital spot.
He still had a lot of PK points on him! If I keep killing like this, when will it end? Gu Fei suddenly remembered.
