799 Chapter 799 - PK Value waiting to be cleared (1/2)
The task that Forever in Flowers had previously taken on was their specialty of harassment and teasing; this act required movement speed, and Vast Lushness was of course unsuitable for this as a Priest, so she had not joined them in their maneuver. But she knew that Gu Fei and the others were running into trouble, so before she left the bonfire night party, she had sent a message out to Blue Ease and called on him to help out.
While Dusky Cloud was still worrying about what most of his guild members would think, Vast Lushness did not bother to think too much about it. In her eyes, Thousand Miles Drunk was already one of their friends, and friends would of course be helping and supporting each other. Now that one of her friends was facing woes, it was only natural for her to take the initiative and do whatever she could to lend a hand.
As for Blue Ease and the others, just a word from Vast Lushness was all it took. There was no need for any further questions as he led his men out immediately. It was only that Baishi City was two cities away from Yunduan City, so they would obviously arrive much later, only for it to end up being perfectly timed to run into Gu Fei and the others here.
Gu Fei and Blue Ease both sent a message out to Vast Lushness, but the content of their messages was different. Gu Fei was confirming that Blue Ease was here to help, while Blue Ease did not have issues with coming to help Thousand Miles Drunk, but was instead asking why such a burden like Dusky Cloud would appear here.
Vast Lushness gave her answers accordingly; she answered in the affirmative to Gu Fei, and as for Dusky Cloud, Vast Lushness had also more or less guessed what transpired and knew that they were also here to assist Thousand Miles Drunk. If Blue Ease were to get into a row with Dusky Cloud, then she would have created more of a hassle than assistance for calling Blue Ease and his men over. As such, she very quickly reminded Blue Ease to keep his emotions in check, to first help her settle this matter and that it would not be too late for him to find an opportunity to make his move on Dusky Cloud afterward.
Gu Fei had very quickly gotten his reply, but seeing Blue Ease still having his head down there, he knew he was still having a conversation. However, Blue Ease soon lifted his head and turned to regard Dusky Cloud, ”We're dealing with proper business today, so I won't fuss over the little things with you.”
”Tsk, yours truly ain't afraid of you! See how I'm gonna deal with you once we're done with our business here,” Dusky Cloud was also someone who understood the bigger picture, that for both parties to clash at this moment would only cause further complication to Thousand Miles Drunk. It was from this that it could be said that these men were the sort to prioritize their friendships.
”As long as you don't run off when the time comes,” Blue Ease was still retorting!
”Whoever who runs would be an m*th*rf*ck*r,” Dusky Cloud slapped back.
”You're still an m*th*rf*ck*r even if you stay.”
”I'll f*ck*ng kill your dad!”
”My dad's your ancestor!”
Both men were not going to be physically at each other's throats, but they continued to fight with their words, swearing and cursing at each other unceasingly. And when they led their men respectively, both sides ended up flinging insults to each other as a whole. However, Dusky Cloud had suffered heavy casualties on his end, so there were only about 60 or so of his men left, incomparable to the nearly 300 players that Blue Ease had brought along, each of them still brimming with vigor, and it was evident that Dusky Cloud and his men were at the disadvantage just hearing from the difference in terms of the volume of their voices alone. The more Dusky Cloud scolded, the more he felt he was in an unfavorable situation, as a single sentence he uttered would see a retaliation five times that of his own. He was instantly dissatisfied with this, and slowly began to lose his cool once again, his hand already itching to draw his blade. That was when Gu Fei finally stepped out and forcefully pressed both men's heads down, ”Enough from the two of you. Stop fighting”
Gu Fei's action here was rather effective, as the din on either side quieted down a little. Those who were still railing on each other suddenly saw Gu Fei reach for his sword, and that was enough to shut the dissenters up in a hurry.
”Why doesn't everyone come together and find those guys hiding up the mountain and use them to vent your frustrations?” Gu Fei suggested.
”Oh? There are enemies up on the mountain?” Blue Ease had come from afar and had long since spotted the fight occurring by the mountain pass entrance, yet they had no idea that some of those involved were actually who they had come to aid, so they did not pay too much attention to things.
”Yup, there are still some up there,” Gu Fei answered.
”Let's go!” Blue Ease waved his men out. ”I could feel my anger rising after seeing a certain someone, so let's all go and let loose our wrath!”
”Let's go and vent!” One of Blue Ease's compatriots tried to pump up the people present, echoing his sentiment loudly.
”I don't think you're there to release, but directly get extinguished by the enemy, yeah?” It was completely impossible for Dusky Cloud to just leave that comment alone without his retort.
”I think you're the one who had been extinguished, no? Why are so few of you left? What happened to your 4000 men?” Blue Ease turned around and mocked him.
Dusky Cloud was about to give his response, and Gu Fei saw that there would be no end to this back and forth at this rate. Taking the lead in the charge, he swung his sword out, ”Follow me and attack!!”
Dusky Cloud swallowed those words that he had on his tongue and followed Gu Fei up the mountain for the charge with his comrades. Blue Ease and his men were not about to falter behind either, and with a single motion of his arm, the speedsters from his party sprinted forward to snatch the lead. The PK had not even started, and they first had a race instead.
The troops of both men were yelling and swearing at each other as they ran with no order whatsoever, all of them holding themselves back as best as they could from actually duking things out for real, shoving and jostling with each other the entire way until they made it up to the mountaintop. The ladies and the men from Amethyst Rebirth and Forever In Flowers respectively were completely dumbfounded as they stared at the two groups of players, unclear as to what their relationship was.
The Oolong Mountain Range ran across Yunduan City and Yueye City. There was actually someone who had been bored enough to attempt and tested if it was possible for players to pass straight through the mountain ridge. As it turned out, this person made the discovery that there were indeed higher peaks and portions of the mountain ridge that players were unable to surmount, which was evidence that it was impossible for players to trek across them. The men from Remarkable Flair had made it up to the mountain, so unless they teleported themselves out, there was basically no other exit they could take to escape.
Gu Fei led all these men up the mountain, and they could still see traces of men from Remarkable Flair that were busy fleeing deeper into the mountain range, and all of them picked out one at random to give chase without saying another word. With such an indomitable PK-er like Gu Fei around, Dusky Cloud and the others with Agility-focused job classes had plenty of confidence. No matter if they ended up with Priest's assistance or otherwise, all of them went their separate ways and pursued their prey. Some of them actually had movement speed that was superior to what Gu Fei possessed, but since Gu Fei was the general taking the lead right now, everyone had subconsciously followed his pace and were right behind him.
In the end, it was of course Gu Fei who became the first to reach the enemy, and those lagging behind were naturally the baby-legged job classes. These people had no intention of fighting either, as the enemy merely turned around and put up a casual resistance once Gu Fei caught up, all of them easily dispatched in a quick move or two.
”Marvelous!” Dusky Cloud praised. The man was utterly impressed at the dexterity and skill that Gu Fei demonstrated when killing these men.
”You guys should kill them too, unless you're telling me that you would be more than happy for my PK Value to end up shooting past 200,” Gu Fei added another PK point to his stack, thinking to himself just how much of a headache it would be if he were to clear them all.
”Got it. We'll get to killing!” Dusky Cloud had caught an enemy as he was saying this, finishing that player off. It was at that point when he felt as a look of contempt had swept past him, turning his head to look, he saw that Blue Ease and his troops had already killed 3 in one go.
”G*dd*mm*t, what are you idiots doing? Pull yourself together and get to killing!” Dusky Cloud urged his underlings.
However, Dusky Cloud and his comrades were already comparatively inferior in terms of their numbers. Given how Blue Ease and his men were all originally born from Yueye City and were all once considered to be experts as well, they had not have gotten any worse since their heyday, and their numerical superiority of course meant they could slay the enemies much faster than Dusky Cloud. Nevertheless, Blue Ease did not care to mention their advantage either, dropping their enemy like flies as they announced to everyone within earshot, ”Hey, that's another kill. I wonder how many that would be.” They were sending provocative looks toward Dusky Cloud even as they kept verbalizing their kill count for the people around them to hear.
Dusky Cloud was roaring his lungs out the entire time, but he simply did not have enough manpower. However, he was not able to conjure out men either, so all he could do was kill with greater ferocity. Blue Ease and his man held the upper hand in terms of their numbers, so they would most definitely suffer even greater disdain and scorn if they were to lose this unofficial competition between the two parties. As such, they did not dare to slack either. The players from both sides were no longer concerned with where Gu Fei was as they forged ahead with great effort, hunting, and killing their targets.
The men from Remarkable Flair were in great dismay; they had already discovered Blue Ease and his men, so they were of course aware that they were not their men. They had treated them to be the reinforcement from Dusky Cloud's Ten Guild Alliance, not to mention the fact that their enemy had already managed to get away from the mountain path's danger zone. Knowing they would not be able to defeat their enemy head on, nor were they able to flee since the newcomers would be able to intercept them, these people had no choice but to climb further up the mountain, heading deeper toward the unknown mountain ridge. All they could hope was for Gu Fei and everyone to lose their patience while pursuing them, ultimately allowing some to survive this encounter.
But who would have guessed just how ruthless these people all were, completely focused on killing them all. They had no idea where they had ended up here at this time, yet Gu Fei and everyone was still hot on their heels.
The final member from Remarkable Flair finally had nowhere else to go, finding himself surrounded by a handful of players who surrounded him and fought over the kill. These men were still exchanging insults even as they killed. ”This guy's ours.”
”B*ll f*ck*ng sh*t, I was the one who stabbed him first.”
”Lies. He was first struck by my arrow!”
”No, it was my dagger!”
”No, my arrow!!”
”Let's ask him!!”
Hence, the whole lot of them showed mercy to that pitiful player from Remarkable Flair, lifting him off his feet and tossing him to one side, ”Tell us, was it a dagger or an arrow that scored the first hit?”
That player from Remarkable Flair stared at this gang of murderous bandits, finally breaking out in tears, ”Brothers, just kill me already!”
When men from both sides saw that they would not be able to get a resolution this way, their eyes turned to each other when someone suddenly cried out, ”Whoever deals the killing blow would get the kill.” That very moment this person finished his sentence, arrows and daggers all came homing in toward their victim. The player from Remarkable Flair blissfully closed both his eyes. He was finally dead.
Even though Dusky Cloud and his comrades worked very hard, their numerical disadvantage was truly so large that there was no way for them to catch up with Blue Ease and his men. All of them had a glum expression across their faces when it became apparent there was no way the could catch up in terms of their kill count.
Blue Ease was of course not someone who would let this go so easily, enigmatically asking Dusky Cloud, ”Boss Cloud, how many did you manage to kill?”
”Tsk, PK-ing is a daily occurrence for us, why would we even care to count our kills? How ignorant,” Dusky Cloud expressed his condescension.
”There's no need to count. Just take a look at your PK Value.”
”If you're looking to compete in terms of PK Value, why don't you go look for Thousand Miles Drunk?”
”Thousand Miles Drunk? How many could he have killed?” Blue Ease and his men had no idea about Gu Fei's 'foundation' of PK points from before. Gu Fei had been hanging back during this hunt for stragglers, so he did not add too many points to his total PK Value. The man had also happened to rush over at this time, looking to both his left and right, ”All gone?”
