74 Chapter 74 - Consequences of Being a Blabbermouth (2/2)

The HP of Mages was actually lower than Thieves. However, the ones who would always rush onward to close in on Gu Fei never included Mages. This would leave the Thieves to be the ones with the lowest HP among his melee attackers.

Five feint attacks later, Gu Fei pointed Moonlit Nightfalls at the Thief.

The Thief raised his dagger nimbly to block the sword. Gu Fei revealed a faint smile as he easily changed the angle of the sword; the blade's tip brushed past the dagger's tip and landed on the Thief's forehead.

The Thief screamed at the top of his lungs. Having something stabbed onto one's forehead was a horrible feeling, after all.

Gu Fei unleashed the same move for the third time after turning the blade's tip. Zhao San Mu Si had been unleashed in an anti-clockwise direction just then; it was unleashed in a clockwise direction this time. Gu Fei's very first strike was a legitimate attack, and its target was once again the poor Thief.

The Thief died on the spot after being attacked twice with Moonlit Nightfalls' allowed maximum damage. Gu Fei's PK points would naturally increase by 1 point, but that was something he had expected. Could he cause an impact if all he did was unleash flashy moves that neither harmed nor killed the others? Once these players realized that Gu Fei's swordplay was lacking in power, they would be bold enough to move forward. If the reinforcement arrived at that time, he would be a goner for sure – unless of course he miraculously turned into Superman or Spider-man.

The impact of Gu Fei's fighting prowess had already taken shape. However, he should not become lax in inflicting mental distress on to his opponents either. Taking advantage of the retreating group of players, Gu Fei carved a circle onto the ground with the tip of his sword. The sword motion's resulting gust of wind had lifted the dust off the ground, scattering it in the air in all three hundred and sixty degrees.

”This is MY sword cordon! Anyone who steps inside will only find one outcome… DEATH!” Guess I need to act tough at this crucial moment, Gu Fei thought to himself.

The opposing players were visibly shaken, as they stared at Gu Fei's sword, not even daring to make the slightest movement. They had seen with their eyes how Gu Fei killed their fellow Thief with just two stabs. While Thieves truly have low HP, this man did not even use a skill on our brother! More importantly, what exactly is his job class? The surrounding players were using Appraisal like crazy, but nothing came up.

Gu Fei was not feeling too good either! His opponents had temporarily stopped their movements as they were shaken by his actions. They now formed a circle around him. With how wide the circle was, Gu Fei was unable to kill his way out of it. The opposing players had yet to react properly, but Gu Fei would be done for once they mobilized their Archers and Mages to carry out aerial assaults from a vantage point.

How can I get out of this encirclement?! Gu Fei eyed the various players currently surrounding him. While nobody among them stepped forward to challenge Gu Fei, they did not show a worried look since they had superiority in numbers. They knew that Gu Fei could not slay everyone, yet nobody wanted to be on the offensive recklessly. If it came down to a scuffle, Gu Fei would recklessly struggle to the bitter end. He would probably take down two players with him if he was going down to their concerted attacks. Nobody wished to become one of those 'two', so everyone was hoping for someone to come up with a safer approach.

”Where're the Archer and Mage?!” someone asked loudly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Fei knew that he could not afford to wait anymore. He decided to use his life to bet for his freedom with no other choices left. He swung Moonlit Nightfalls wildly once more after a loud roar. The real attack of Zhao San Mu Si was pointed toward a Warrior this time.

His current move was a little lacking, as he had run out of time to vary his attacks when the targeted Warrior blocked with his claymore. The two swords clashed, and Gu Fei's purlicue went numb. The Warrior was all fired up upon seeing that he had managed to block Gu Fei's attack, so he raised his hand to follow up with a slash.

Gu Fei gritted his teeth and held Moonlit Nightfalls horizontally to block the overhead slash. The impact from blocking the attack had shaken loose the tears in Gu Fei's lacrimal glands. He felt extremely aggrieved when he experienced such Strength difference despite the opposing Warrior possessing a scrawny physique.

Gu Fei was pushed a few steps backward from the clash, yet his hand did not remain idle. He went along with the strike's impetus as he retreated, reflexively moving his hand holding a sword backward. There was a name for this move as well: Mirror Mirage. It was specifically used to sneak in an attack on the enemy behind.

A player standing behind Gu Fei was of course unable to block such a brilliant move, and Moonlit Nightfalls stabbed right at him. The player got the shock of his life when he saw that only half of his HP remained. Gu Fei turned his body around in accordance. His other hand had unnoticeably become adorned with a Chinese broadsword as well, and he proceeded to perform a downward slash from the head.

The opposing player was so shocked that he was sweating all over. He reached his hand out in the hope of blocking the attack. He actually managed to stop it by grabbing Gu Fei's arm before it fully descended.

Gu Fei quickly retracted Moonlit Nightfalls in his other hand and posed to cut his opponent once more. Having already experienced the sword's attack before, the opposing player knew that one more strike from it would mean his death. Panicking and not putting much thought into the matter, he tossed his arms in the air and yelled, ”Go to hell!”

Gu Fei sailed outside with a whoosh, yet he actually felt deeply relieved.

This was what he had been waiting for. Level 30 Fighter skill, Seismic Toss.

Gu Fei had believed that the player was a level 30 Fighter, and that he would reflexively use Seismic Toss when in dire straits to save himself. Gu Fei had finally made a correct judgment this time.

He had been successfully tossed out of the encirclement right now! It was time to run!For those who are interested, the Chinese idiom is 朝三暮四, which essentially means to play fast and loose/chop and change.
