397 Chapter 397 - Everyone’s Gotta Make a Living (1/2)

No one had expected such a torrential PK duel to have such an ending. Neither of the players had even pulled out their weapons, nor was there even a drop of blood spilled. The fact that the fight had actually ended when one of them bolted to leave because they had something to attend to left everyone flabbergasted. Not even the rumored fights that stopped at a certain point would be so abrupt.

Eternal Dominion and his men had left with such speed that the players still remaining could only shoot glares of dissatisfaction over to Gu Fei. He could not have cared less about that, turning to return to his own group.

Svelte Dancer had a look of disdain about her, and while Vast Lushness was used to witnessing such high-profile fights herself, even she did not dare to admit she was an acquaintance of Gu Fei when she saw how this fight had gone down. Oathless Sword at least reacted a bit better, constantly saying, ”Thank you for your hard work!”, even though he whispered otherwise deep down in his heart. Just what sort of drug did this killer that revels in PK from Yunduan City, renowned for his ruthless and cold-blooded ways, eat today to actually fight for such a long time with Eternal Dominion. They barely even exchanged any blows, yet they said so many words to one another; this is totally contradictory to the style of the slayer we've known all this while.

Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion had not shouted out their conversation when discussing their respective martial families, so the onlookers had no idea what the two men were talking to one another about. The only thing they took away from this encounter was the feeling that they had just witnessed a really sham of a duel.

”Guild Leader Oathless, I'll be logging off now that the quest is over,” Gu Fei said to Oathless Sword.

”Hmm, didn't you just say you wanted to clear your PK points?” Svelte Dancer questioned him. Gu Fei and she had originally planned to clear the points they had accrued fighting all those men just now, she found it strange that he had changed his mind so quickly.

”I just remembered I had something else to do,” Gu Fei said. ”I'll be taking my leave!”

”Take care!” Oathless Sword quickly replied. Gu Fei took several steps away from the group before Oathless Sword suddenly remembered something and quickly shouted, ”Brother Miles, do you want us to wait for you before we set off back to Yunduan City?”

”There's no need for that, you guys can go ahead!” Gu Fei shouted back. Now that the mercenary mission was over, there was obviously no need for everyone to set a time to meet up any longer. Gu Fei reckoned these gaming addicts would likely hurry their way back tonight, hoping to return back to Yunduan City so as to show off their status as a newly minted Level 6 guild.

Once Gu Fei turned to leave after bidding farewell to Oathless Sword, he saw Deep Waters and Coco still standing by the wall, the emotions on their faces similar to that of the crowd of onlookers that had gathered, obviously displeased with the outcome.

”Aren't you gonna leave? Take care Svelte Dancer don't come over and stab you,” Gu Fei said to Deep Waters as he passed.

”Tsk, I'm not afraid of her,” Deep Waters scoffed. What made Thieves like her so frightening was their ability to stay Stealthed. Someone who could counter Stealth like Deep Waters naturally did not put that despicable job class in his eyes, even if that person was Svelte Dancer.

”Are you two acquainted?” Coco looked at Deep Waters before glancing over to Gu Fei. She was a little uncomfortable with the fact that even though this man had slain many of their brethren moments ago, Gu Fei had actually came over and chatted with them like good friends, as if nothing had happened.

”Heh, not really, he's just someone I've slain before,” Gu Fei said as he left.

Deep Waters ground his teeth angrily as he told Coco, ”Look, bad friends are often bad influences to one another. Anyone who spends time with that a*sh*l* would all become equally detestable.”

”Is Sword Demon that detestable?” Coco asked.

”Uh, that's why I've always said that Sword Demon was a man of talent,” Deep Waters said.

”Thank you for the compliment!” someone suddenly answered from behind him. Deep Waters hurriedly turned round and saw Sword Demon, Young Master Han, and the other members of Young Master's Elites, as well as Drifting and the other seven men walking over towards him. It was not just them alone, as the other players from Yunduan City had also come rushing along every possible path towards this street. It could not be helped, since none of them were even familiar with how to get here!

”Even Coco's here!” Young Master Han was the first to greet Coco, before happily addressing Deep Waters, ”I thought you'd lost both your men and your wifey. Not bad, at least you managed to save her.”

Deep Waters could only grind his teeth as he stewed in his gloom.

Sword Demon was looking through the crowd that had already begun to disperse, yet did not discover Gu Fei anywhere, ”When did the fight end?” he asked Deep Waters.

”Moments ago,” Deep Waters said.

”Does that mean Eternal Dominion's already dead?” These men were extremely confident when it came to Gu Fei.

”Nope!” Deep Waters said.

”What?” Everyone was surprised. If Deep Waters was not dead, then that meant it was Gu Fei who had perished...

”Nobody died. Halfway through their fight, Eternal Dominion mentioned he had something to do and left,” Deep Waters announced with a hint of regret.

”So you're telling me he wasn't insta-killed by Gu Fei in two or three moves?”” They had all seen Gu Fei fight. There was no doubt in their minds that as long as Gu Fei struck, death was the only outcome unless he ran out of mana. Hearing Deep Waters use the word 'halfway', could it be that Eternal Dominion had actually tangled with Gu Fei for quite some time?”

”It was indeed quite long. Both of them were unarmed,” Deep Waters said.

”Just what in the devil was that about?” No one could make sense of it.
