“Warflag, it’s you?!” Sanguine Thorn lifted his head to look at Sanguine Warflag, before giving him an awkward laugh .
“I thought you said that you retired… you, you b*stard!” When Sanguine Warflag realised it was Sanguine Thorn, he was at a loss for words .
When Sanguine Wolf left for another guild, Sanguine Warflag was not surprised . This was because Sanguine Wolf was a new expert in the Sanguine Alliance who had yet to develop feelings for it .
When Sanguine Rain left for another guild, Sanguine Warflag was not surprised either, because Sanguine Rain had a shot in claiming the championship . He could not abandon his future just for a guild .
As for Sanguine Red, he was Sanguine Rain’s disciple . Following his teacher was to be expected as well .
However, meeting Sanguine Thorn here was clearly beyond Sanguine Warflag’s expectations .
Sanguine Thorn was a senior figure in the Sanguine Alliance and had been through countless battles with Sanguine Warflag . Even though his skills in the industry were not too high, it was not bad either . However, he was still a senior in the alliance and had a say in any alliance matters .
When Sanguine Thorn said he was retiring, never in his wildest dreams did Sanguine Warflag think that he would join Void Blade .
“That’s right, there’s nothing wrong with joining a guild to play in after retiring . ” Sanguine Thorn smiled cheekily . He waved his dagger and started to enter into stealth .
“Trying to run?”
Seeing Sanguine Thorn trying to enter into stealth, Fearless hit Sanguine Thorn on the butt with his rod, disrupting his skill .
Sanguine Thorn glared at Fearless, promptly activating [Haste] and dashing towards Fearless .
Fearless swiftly threw a wine cup at Sanguine Thorn . Sanguine Thorn used his dagger to smash the cup into many pieces and sneered, “Hah, resorting to such tricks…”
“Intentional damaging of private property, pay up!”
Without giving Sanguine Thorn a chance to finish his sentence, the boss of the restaurant dashed forward, pinning Sanguine Thorn down .
Fearless was a Holy Priest that specialized in healing and single unit control skills .
Seeing Sanguine Thorn caught, Fearless threw a [Holy Flame] at him and began his incantations . After which, he started hitting Sanguine Thorn’s head .
Priests had very low physical strength . After hitting him on the head a few times, Sanguine Thorn had already paid up while bearing the pain, and escaped the restrictions on him . Upon seeing this, Fearless activated a [Holy Skill] towards Sanguine Thorn .
Holy Skills could inflict holy damage onto the target . Although their damages were not high, they had very effective effects and could cause the target to fall asleep for 5 seconds .
After Sanguine Thorn fell asleep, Fearless raised his staff and continued hitting him . When a player gets hit while asleep, he wakes up immediately . When Sanguine Thorn woke up, Fearless threw another wine cup at him .
Once bitten twice shy, Sanguine Thorn no longer used his dagger to block it . Instead, he allowed the wine cup to smash against his body, thinking that he would not get caught for it this time . Unexpectedly, the boss of the bar once again appeared and caught Sanguine Thorn, “Intentional damaging of…”
“What? On what grounds?!”, Sanguine Thorn exclaimed . Sanguine Thorn spent most of his time grinding levels with his team and had never been to the restaurant before . He had no idea why the boss still caught him .
“Are you dumb? Whoever caused it to break should pay up for it!” . While speaking, Fearless took up his staff and resumed hitting Sanguine Thorn on the head .
At the end of the day, Sanguine Thorn was still a renowned expert . Continuously getting hit on the head with a staff was an insult to his pride and drove him mad .
“Damn it, you sneaky b*stard! I’ll definitely kill you today!” Sanguine Thorn bellowed, as he took out some money to escape the boss’s clutches .
Priests had very low damage output and wore cloth armour . Unlike the Assassins, they were not meant for PK battles . If Fearless and Sanguine Thorn were to fight, Fearless would not be his opponent at all .
However, Fearless was crafty and willing to resort to any tricks . By relying on his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, he was able to put Sanguine Thorn in his current state, with his swollen head from all the beating received by Fearless .
The feeling of losing an opponent due to underhanded tactics, knowing full well that he was not your match, was definitely the worst feeling ever . And that, was what Sanguine Thorn was feeling at the moment .
After paying up, Sanguine Thorn immediately dashed towards Fearless .
Upon seeing this, Fearless waved his staff and immediately took flight, carefully landing near Wang Yu .
Sanguine Thorn could not help but shout, “Cheap b*stard, you dare to come over?”
“Why not you come over instead?” Fearless shouted back, unwilling to back down .
“You…”
Sanguine Thorn knew how good Wang Yu was and was afraid of continuing forward . Instead, he copied Fearless and took a wine cup, throwing it at Fearless .
Fearless smirked, promptly tilting his head sideways to avoid it . The wine cup landed on the floor and shattered to pieces and the boss of the restaurant caught Sanguine Thorn for the third time .
“I… Just you wait! I’ll make you die a miserable death you shameless trash!” After being caught for the third time, Sanguine Thorn no longer bothered with his image and began cursing at Fearless .
Fearless pointed towards Sanguine Thorn’s back and said, “Look behind you, you won’t get another chance!”
Sanguine Thorn frantically turned around, only to see Sanguine Warflag gloomily glaring at him .
“Warflag, what are you trying to do? This matter has nothing to do with you . You better not bring the issues related to the Sanguine Alliance into this . ” Sanguine Thorn frantically said after seeing Sanguine Warflag’s expression .
Sanguine Thorn was sly . He knew fully well that Sanguine Warflag was the head of the Alliance and had to look at matters in the bigger picture . If Void Blade wanted to, they were definitely more than capable of rising against Sanguine Alliance . Thus, Sanguine Thorn deliberately reminded Sanguine Warflag of his backings and warned Sanguine Warflag against taking any actions .
Sanguine Warflag said with a cold smile, “This has nothing to do with the Sanguine Alliance . Boss Fearless and Quan Zhen Sect are all my friends . I can not possibly watch as my friends get bullied, can I?” .
“F*ck, I am your friend too aren’t I?” Sanguine thorn rebutted .
“No, you’re not . ” Sanguine Warflag coldly said . He proceeded to place a restricting talisman onto Sanguine Thorn’s head and proceeded to use [Charge], [Stab] and finish off Sanguine Thorn with a swift chain of abilities .
“Heh, sorry for troubling you, Boss Warflag . ” Fearless smiled and said, upon seeing Sanguine Thorn getting eliminated .
“It is a small matter . ” Sanguine Warflag said, waving his hands . He then cautioned, “I think that you guys should stay low and hide for the time being, Void Blade is not an easy opponent to handle . ”
Void Blade’s financial capabilities were definitely extraordinary . They were able to expand to such an extent in the time span of just a few months and even managed to poach four experts from Sanguine Alliance, amongst which included Sanguine Rain .
Sanguine Alliance was an old-school guild and their funds were all allocated for the combat squad . To deal with Quan Zhen Sect, they chose to rope in people because they had the capability to do so . Failure would not affect their development in any way . Moreover, the Sanguine Alliance would always publicly praise Quan Zhen Sect for being strong . Therefore, losing to them wouldn’t be embarrassing and others might even find reasons and excuses for their loss .
Even if they were considered useless, weren’t they still able to make friends with a strong alliance like the Quan Zhen Sect eventually?
All of the guild masters were smart in their own rights, none of them were ordinary .
However, Void Blade was in it for the fame and couldn’t care less about the resources and manpower needed to attain it . They would definitely fight with Quan Zhen Sect to the bitter end .
After all, Quan Zhen Sect consisted of slightly more than ten members . If any big guilds really wanted to eliminate them, it was only a matter of minutes . Furthermore, with an expert like Sanguine Rain under Void Blade, the top players in Quan Zhen Sect no longer had the upper hand in terms of possessing better individual players . Even if Wang Yu was in the equation, what can one man do against an entire big guild?
Instead of fighting it head-on with them, why not stay low and hide for the time being? Sooner or later, Void Blade would find a new target to pick a fight with…
