Chapter 1367: This Woman Is Not Simple
“Head into the City Lord Mansion!”
Just when Sanguine Warflag was overwhelmed with panic, he received a timely call from Fearless.
Under this situation, Sanguine Warflag was filled with the desire to survive. He did not hesitate any further and rushed head-on into the City Lord Mansion.
An Assassin could easily kill Sanguine Warflag but it was far more difficult for them to capture him alive.
Sanguine Warflag must be left to Scarless to deal the final blow. Since she and a few others were still a distance away, these Assassins had no choice but to follow Sanguine Warflag into the City Lord Mansion.
“Second Brother, save me!”
As soon as the Assassins from Assassin Monarch entered the residence, a voice resounded in their ears.
The crowd looked over in the direction of the sound and they saw that the City Lord Mansion’s gate was being closed. Fearless stood in the distance with his whole group of reinforcements.
“!!!”
There was a sudden inner scream in their hearts the moment these Assassins saw Fearless. They wanted to turn around and run away as fast as possible.
Alas, this thought came a little too late.
Under Fearless’s command, Crotch Lord raised his shield and rushed over to the gate towards Sanguine Warflag. He held up his middle finger and roared, “B*stard!!”.
The Assassins from Assassin Monarch and Sanguine Warflag were all taunted towards Crotch Lord.
He chuckled to himself before spreading his wings to leap out of the City Lord Mansion.
“No fighting within the City Lord Mansion!!”
At this juncture, the guards that were patrolling the area were alerted to the situation. They quickly surrounded the source of the commotion.
Although these guards were extremely formidable, they were not exactly useful without the City Lord’s command. They did not interfere in any conflicts or harm another player unless it was a serious and discriminate offence.
After all, levelling was too difficult in the game. If a player was killed because he simply had spit into the City Lord Mansion, it would be too outrageous of a consequence.
Under the domineering strength of these guards, no player could match against them. With a slight sneered, the guards dispelled Crotch Lord’s taunt and the players all dropped to the ground.
Crotch Lord escaped any sort of retaliation because he had already preemptively left the guards attack range.
While these Assassins were temporarily restrained, Scarless and the other Assassins made their way into the City Lord Mansion.
“Brother Spring! Close the gate!!”
When the entirety of Assassin Monarch had entered the City Lord Mansion, Fearless smiled devilishly as he instructed Spring Halo. With a wave of his staff, he cast the [Invulnerable] buff on Sanguine Warflag.
Spring Halo was previously hiding in the corner before he heard the command that jolted him into action. He immediately cast his [Dark Barrier] which trapped the players from Assassin Monarch into a circular prison before they even had any realisation of what was happening.
Scarless was a martial artist so her reflexes were much faster than others. She had already sensed that something was amiss and she instinctively took a step backwards which allowed her to narrowly avoid the entrapment of [Dark Barrier].
Southern Heaven Mighty God was not as skilled as Fearless and he was rooted to the ground by Spring Halo’s skill!
“No fighting within the City Lord Mansion!!”
After casting the AOE skill, Spring Halo also jumped out of the perimeters of the residence. The guards once again harrumphed and broke through [Dark Barrier]. As a result, the Assassins from Assassin Monarch were also restrained on the ground.
Sanguine Warflag finally understood the motive behind Fearless’s plan to lure the players from Assassin Monarch into the City Lord Mansion.
The main purpose was to force them to take out their City Lord Seal. If these Assassins genuinely wanted to disappear off the face of the map, not even Wang Yu could do anything to them.
Without first restraining these Assassins, there was no possible way to retrieve the Seal back from them. Furthermore, since the City Lord Seal was an incomparably valuable item, it naturally had a low drop rate. There was no guarantee of it dropping even if one had a terrifying item steal ability…
Therefore, they had to rely on these guards to capture the players from Assassin Monarch… In the face of absolute strength, all forms of deception were futile.
“!!!!”
Scarless, seeing that almost all of her subordinates were being restrained, furrowed her eyebrows tightly. She was about to make her escape out of the City Lord Mansion.
Fearless immediately ordered, “Do not let a single one leave!”
Following Fearless’s order, Boson, Little Chicky and Frost Blade who was hiding outside the residence made their move. Crotch Lord and Spring Halo hurriedly over to tighten the encirclement.
Among the few of them, Frost Blade possessed the highest movement speed. He turned in a series of afterimages as he executed [Haste] in chasing after Scarless.
Spring Halo also conjured a poisonous fog that enveloped Scarless.
Scarless had no hint of fear on her face as she faced the encirclement by the Quan Zhen Sect. She slanted her body at a 60-degree angle and kicked out in a strange manner with both feet. Under the gaze of her enemies, Scarless shifted a few metres to the left and successfully evaded the attacks of Frost Blade and Spring Halo.
“F*ck! What is going on! Is that [Ling Bo Step]?”
Scarless’ movement thoroughly shocked the players from Quan Zhen Sect.
These players had a vast worldly experience. However, Scarless completely upended their prior notion of the limits of a movement skill. Even Wang Yu could not do whatever she had done by.
Scarless had a strange movement skill which allowed her to temporarily dematerialise her body. That was way out of the acceptable range of skills a player could accomplish. Was this even science anymore…
“Tsk!”
Facing the onslaught of Frost Blade, Scarless turned back and harrumphed, “Do you think a bunch of you can do anything to me?”
“Less empty words! Just let your fists do the talking!”
Just as Scarless spoke, Vainglory took the initiative to attack using [Crushing Fist].
Scarless focused as she flipped backwards rapidly to dodge Vainglory’s fist.
Vainglory’s fist did not hit his intended target as he wobbled slightly. Scarless quickly counterattacked using her the dagger in her right hand. She extended her range using a rope attached to a dagger and slashed it against Vainglory.
-44444
A massive damage was registered.
Vainglory’s HP fell by more than half in that single exchange.
Immediately afterwards, Scarless viciously pulled the dagger that was lodged in Vainglory’s neck out.
-33333
It was another critical hit and Vainglory was almost close to death.
“Not bad! You can resist my attacks!” Scarless furrowed her brows as she once again sent her dagger surging towards Vainglory.
At this juncture, Crotch Lord moved in front of Vainglory and blocked the incoming projectile.
“Dang…”
With a soft thud, Scarless’s dagger bounced off his shield harmlessly.
“Kucha!”
Without missing a beat, a large thunderbolt descended from the sky towards Scarless.
