“Return to kill? Did we leave anyone there?” Hidden Lurker asked.

“We didn’t.” Nian Liuyun answered.

“When you guys left, did you see anyone around?” Hidden Lurker asked again.

“No…” Nian Liuyun started sweating.

“Sh*t!” Hidden Lurker smacked his own thigh as he shouted, “We got lured out of the mountain like a lion!”

“Huh?” Nian Liuyun came to his senses the moment Hidden Lurker said that… He cursed angrily, “That despicable fella!”

“Where are you now?” Hidden Lurker asked once more.

“I’m at the dojo.” Nian Liuyun answered.

“The others?”

“Entrance…” “Behind you.”

The survivors and those who perished replied separately.

“Behind me?” Hidden Lurker turned around to see over ten Mages staring at him blankly. Hidden Lurker cried out in astonishment, “He killed all of you by himself?”

No matter how impressive Wang Yu was, he was still only a Pugilist. Being able to kill one person with one punch was already universally shocking. To be able to kill over ten people within seconds… Was he even human?

“No… We were killed by guards.” The players replied, “Just like the rumours… That person can instruct NPC.”

“Instruct NPC? As long as a player’s fame and main city’s merit points reached a certain level, anyone can do that.” Hidden Lurker frowned as he continued, “This is not possible. He isn’t a local here!”

The ease of increasing a main city’s merit points and fame was dependent on the population of the main city.

Main cities with lesser population would have more fame and merit points quest. Hence, the increment would be a lot faster. Take Titan City for example. Titan City was so remote and uninhabited that almost every NPC would have such a quest.

Sky Dragon City was not as deserted as Titan City. It was not a place where you could casually and easily increase merit points and fame to revered level.

In such a densely populated main city like Sky Dragon City, quests with merit points and fame were extremely rare. The main source of fame and merit points for players would be through dungeons. If Wang Yu was not a local here, it would be impossible for him to complete dungeons here.

More importantly, Sky Dragon City was an island for dragons. It wouldn’t matter as much even if Wang Yu had a lot of merit points or fame in Twilight City or any other cities. How was it possible that a player respected in Titan City would be equally respected in Sky Dragon City?

Hidden Lurker spent a lot of time in the library so he naturally knew about the rivalry between the Titan Race and Dragon Race. A player would never be respected in two opposing cities.

The unlucky fella who was killed by the guards replied, “We’re not too sure about that too. Before we realise, we were already killed by the two guards.”

“Forget it, let’s not care about him anymore. We should hurry and check on our BOSS.” Initially, they were doing well in capturing the BOSS until Wang Yu appeared out of nowhere to disrupt them. Hidden Lurker was now in two minds.

“Should we tell the Apocalypse about it?” At this moment, Little Lotus suddenly commented.

Little Lotus was not wrong because the BOSS was bought from the Apocalypse. It was only reasonable to let them know just in case anything happened to the BOSS.

The Quan Zhen Sect might be up to no good but Hidden Lurker was not even better too… They came with the intention to steal the BOSS so they would be inviting trouble if they involved the Apocalypse at a time like this.

“There is no need to find them unless we are extremely desperate… Did you forget why we are here?” Hidden Lurker asked in an unpleasant tone.

As a dictator, Hidden Lurker would never listen to the opinions of his subordinates, especially such a brainless opinion like this one…

“Oh…” Little Lotus responded.

Following Hidden Lurker’s instructions, the resurrected players and the remaining survivors gathered again. The twenty over people walked in their formation as they hurried out of the city.

Not long after they exited the city, they spotted Wang Yu running towards them steadily again.

“F*ck! Our messenger of death is here again!!”

The twenty of them were all bullied by Wang Yu including the United Alliance’s best fighter. At this moment, Wang Yu had already left an unerasable shadow in everyone’s hearts.

When the United Alliance’s players saw Wang Yu’s arrival, they trembled and subconsciously turned around in an attempt to run back into the city.

Hidden Lurker was both shocked and enraged when he saw Wang Yu, “What are you guys afraid of? Liuyun, go hold him back and the rest of you follow me this way…”

“En!” Nian Liuyun charged towards Wang Yu after receiving the instructions.

When Wang Yu saw Nian Liuyun charging towards him, he pointed at his back and shouted, “Watch out behind you…”

Nian Liuyun was a fool who had never been tricked by anyone. When Wang Yu shouted that, he turned his head anxiously and Wang Yu made use of this opportunity to go around Nian Liuyun. Following that, he used Crushing Blow to arrive in front of Hidden Lurker and co.

When Nian Liuyun realised that he was tricked, Hidden Lurker and Little Lotus were killed by Wang Yu for the third time.

“You liar!” An infuriated Nian Liuyun was about to charge at Wang Yu once more.

Wang Yu pointed at Nian Liuyun’s back before shouting again, “Watch out behind you…”

Nian Liuyun sneered coldly, “I will not fall for the same trick twice…”

Before Nian Liuyun could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of wind and using the corner of his eye, he saw a pike stabbing towards him from the back…

“Aiya!!!”

An anxious Nian Liuyun pushed both hands against the ground and flipped upwards. His right hand held onto the pike tightly before his leg provided the momentum for his body to jump up. From the bottom of the pike, he flipped himself to the top of the pike as his legs connected firmly with the owner of the pike…

“What an impressive Against The Stream.” Wang Yu clapped when he saw that before continuing, “But you’re doomed…”

“?”

Nian Liuyun was confused with Wang Yu’s words. Concurrently, he saw his colleagues’ dazed eyes and Wang Yu’s smile.

Nian Liuyun was dumbfounded as he looked behind. When he saw the guards’ face, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva in fear.

The system’s guards were invincible existence in this game. Nobody would be spared after attacking the system’s guards.

In the very next moment, the emotionless guard swung his pike in an attempt to kill Nian Liuyun.

Nian Liuyun was an expert with spears so he was not going to be killed that easily. When he saw the pike swinging at him, he pushed it away as he tried to escape using the strength of the guard. Eventually, Nian Liuyun’s right hand released the pike and before his body could fly far, a white light suddenly enveloped Nian Liuyun’s ankle.

Nian Liuyun, who was in mid-air, flew back without control after getting hit by the white light… At this moment, two pikes pierced through Nian Liuyun.

“You b*stard!”

Nian Liuyun cried out devastatingly before turning into white light…

The players from the United Alliance were incredibly traumatised. They couldn’t believe Wang Yu did something like that. It was understandable if Wang Yu resorted to dirty tricks if he couldn’t defeat Nian Liuyun. The truth was that Wang Yu could defeat him head on yet he still did something like that…

Wang Yu couldn’t be bothered by everyone’s glare as he turned and ran away. While he was running away, he shouted, “All’s fair in war!”
