nChapter 52 1 vs 5? Or was it 5 vs 1

nWandering Cloud quickly realized that something was wrong from Potato-Eating Dace’s words, “I thought you guys said that you had defeated her? Why would she just lie there when you guys stole the monster when it has 10% of its HP left? How is that possible…”

nBefore he could finish his sentence, Ye Ci rose from the ground like a phantom and fired an arrow at Glistening Snow.

nYe Ci’s equipment was superior and a Cleric was a soft target. Nobody expected her to suddenly rise and attack. They were not prepared for Ye Ci’s sudden movement. Glistening Snow was taken out by Ye Ci’s attacks before he could react.

nLazy Blue managed to react and attempted to deliver a Staggering Blow at Ye Ci, but she had already leaped away. Even the arrow that she first shot at Glistening Snow was fired while in mid-air.

nThe party was not new to PK. They immediately counterattacked right after Glistening Snow was taken out. With the exception of Potato-Eating Dace who had to hide within the rock formation and maintain the Armored Giant Tortoise’s aggro, the other three charged at Ye Ci.

nMuQing began channeling a spell while he moved, while Wandering Cloud Charged at Ye Ci. Affected by her feelings from her past life, Ye Ci did not dare to look him in the eye. She dodged his Charge with a slight adjustment and landed on Lazy Blue. Using him as a springboard, Ye Ci once again leaped into the air and cast Rapid Fire on MuQing.

nMuQing fell lifelessly to the ground after receiving a flurry of critical hits with additional poison damage.

nAfter taking out two enemies in one go, Ye Ci dashed towards the Armored Giant Tortoise. She cast the Empowered Hunter’s Mark at the BOSS, cast Falcon Protection on herself, and fired a Viper Needle at the BOSS’s eyes. She then cast Decoy on herself.

nThe aggro of the Armored Giant Tortoise on Potato-Eating Dace was not that high. With Ye Ci’s rapid attacks, she was able to snatch the aggro away from him. The Armored Giant Tortoise immediately moved away from the rock formation and headed straight for Ye Ci.

n“Dace, secure the BOSS’s aggro!” shouted Wandering Cloud.

nBut his order was more or less impossible for Potato-Eating Dace. This was a lvl 40 Wild BOSS that they’re talking about. Even if he was able to hold the aggro, he would’ve easily been killed by the BOSS.

nDespite that, Potato-Eating Dace cast Taunt at the BOSS. Ye Ci, however, was very generous. She fired a Decoy at Potato-Eating Dace, generously transferring all her aggro to the Warrior. The Armored Giant Tortoise turned its head towards Potato-Eating Dace and chomped down on him. With a scream, he fell lifelessly onto the ground.

nThe 5 man party had been reduced to only 2 in less than 30 seconds.

nWandering Cloud gritted his teeth, “I thought you said she’s bad at PVP?”

nThe ones who had already died laid there and did not dare to speak a word. Glistening Snow was especially quiet as if he had truly died.

nLazy Blue who was still alive paled. He did not expect Gongzi You to fake her death for nearly half an hour just beside him.

nThis Huntress was truly skillful and bold. Lazy Blue felt like he was outplayed. Not only in terms of skill but in terms of intelligence as well. He was toyed by this Huntress called Gongzi You.

nLazy Blue was enraged, and he charged straight at Ye Ci.

nYe Ci, on the other hand, darted towards her 2 remaining opponents, with the Armored Giant Tortoise following close behind. A spell casting indicator appeared on the monster’s icon. It was casting Mist.

nIt’s finally using that spell. Ye Ci faced Lazy Blue with a sinister smile.

nLazy Blue and Wandering Cloud were so focused on Ye Ci that they did not notice the small changes taking place behind Ye Ci. The moment they saw Ye Ci’s sinister smile, they knew that something was wrong.

nThey were unable to react in time. Ye Ci activated Charge and darted away from between the two.

nThe Armored Giant Tortoise let out a mighty roar and blasted towards Ye Ci with Mist. It missed Ye Ci but Lazy Blue and Wandering Cloud were not so lucky.

nThey received a full blast from the BOSS.

nWandering Cloud could feel himself slowing down. He glanced at his status and was shocked to see a 50% slowed debuff as well as a 20 seconds damage over time debuff. He took out a potion and shouted out to Lazy Blue, “Blue, be careful…”

nAt the next moment, Wandering Cloud’s eyes almost popped out of their socket. Lazy Blue was already dead.

nHow did he die? He noticed a wound on Lazy Blue’s throat and was hit with a sudden realization. Lazy Blue was at the side of Gongzi You’s dominant hand when she dashed them.

nThat woman had slit Lazy Blue’s throat in the short moment when she dashed past Wandering Cloud and Lazy Blue!

nHaving Ye Ci as its target, the Armored Giant Tortoise was totally oblivious to Wandering Cloud. It moved steadily forward, plowing into Wandering Cloud and sent him staggering to the ground.

nWandering Cloud couldn’t help but shudder as he stared at the Huntress who was leaping around, kiting the Armored Giant Tortoise in the process.

nShe was just too strong.

nHer skills in PVE, her perfect timing when it came to PVP, and also her unprecedented bravery in faking her death.

nIt was not something an average person could pull off.

nWandering Cloud felt a coldness creeping up the tips of his fingers. He knew that Gongzi You was skillful. That was obvious since she was able to obtain so many First Bloods. But while she was good in PVE, he had never expected her to be as good when it came to PVP.

nShe was able to react instantly to her environment.

nThe way she took Lazy Blue out… Perhaps even Lazy Blue himself did not expect her to be able to land a hit in that short time window.

nYe Ci summoned Ol’ Three, which continuously attacked the Armored Giant Tortoise’s backside. Ye Ci herself, on the other hand, led the Armored Giant Tortoise towards Wandering Cloud.

nWas she trying to kill him the same way she killed Potato-Eating Dace? Wandering Cloud ran for his life.

nHe really wanted the shield that dropped from the Armored Giant Tortoise, but apparently, this was not the time for him. He was the sole survivor of a 5-man party. With Gongzi You’s unprecedented skill and cunningness, he stood no chance.

nDespite the temptation, Wandering Cloud knew that he had to run away and accept his blunder. Tang Dynasty was one of the largest guilds in the Eastern Continent. As long as he could get away safely…

nWhat Wandering Cloud had overlooked was that he was under a ‘slow’ debuff. Ye Ci caught up with him and stabbed him in the back of his knees.

nHe felt a sharp pain and strength immediately left his right leg.

n“Your right leg has been crippled.”

nThe act of crippling an opponent was something unique to the PVP in Fate. The system employed concepts from Chinese martial arts. Damaging an opponent’s ligament with blades will cripple his or her body parts and the only way to repair the damage was to return to one of the main cities and seek medical attention from specific NPCs.

nBeing crippled was a status that will not take away a player’s HP. However, to cripple an opponent, one must act fast and strike with precision. It was impossible for a player to master such a skill without a long time of practice.

nThe crippled Wandering Cloud was shocked out of his mind. The ‘crippled’ debuff was only mentioned briefly on the official Fate website but the section was left without much description. He did not pay much heed to that particular piece of information. He assumed that one could only be crippled by chance, but he was wrong.

nWandering Cloud stared at Gongzi You. Was his luck that bad? Before he could react, he felt another sharp pain in his left leg. He could no longer feel both his legs.

nThe Armored Giant Tortoise had finally reached Ye Ci and was about to attack her.

nWas it Karma? Would the Huntress be killed by the Armored Giant Tortoise?

nJoy soared within Wandering Cloud’s heart. He unsheathed his sword and wildly swung in the general direction of Ye Ci and the Armored Giant Tortoise. His plan was simple: It would be a great payback if he could somehow kill Ye Ci and if he was able to slay the Armored Giant Turtle with a lucky hit…

nHe immediately felt a stabbing pain in his arm, “Your left hand has been crippled.”

n“Your right hand has been crippled.”

n“F*ck.”

nWandering Cloud could only curse in frustration as he glared at Ye Ci, waiting for the Armored Giant Turtle to bite down on her. However, he didn’t expect that Ye Ci would suddenly disappear. Wandering Cloud adjusted his view and saw Ye Ci leaping into the air and landing on the Armored Giant Tortoise’s back with a summersault. She held a blade in each hand and stabbed the monster’s neck.

nThe Armored Giant Tortoise let out one final roar and fell.

nThe system notification immediately chimed in.

n“Player Gongzi You has slain the lvl 40 Wild BOSS Armored Giant Tortoise with her own strength and survived the ordeal. Special Rewards: Global prestige x8000, Chilly Wind City prestige x1000, Gold coins x1000, Talent Points x4”

nThe entire Fate universe exploded into madness.

nSomebody was able to slay a lvl 40 Wild BOSS when the average player level was at lvl 20? Was that a BUG? A lot of them began gossiping about Gongzi You and some of them even reported Gongzi You to the customer service. The reply they received from the customer service was, “The player defeated the BOSS through normal means, there was no BUG involved.” This statement further plunged the players into insanity.

nYe Ci was oblivious to the chaos that she stirred up. She had muted the World Channel a long time ago.

nShe stood on top of the Armored Giant Tortoise’s carcass, looking down on Wandering Cloud who knelt in front of her.

nHer face was calm.

nIn her past life, this man, had brought her fake joy with his deceit and had used her heartlessly. She hated him. She had sworn to grind him into dust if she ever met him again one day.
