<h4>Chapter 688: Fight Fire With Fire</h4>

    Spring Halo was sly and the job ss that he ysplements it. However, he actually managed to force a Shaman job ss to fit the role of an Assassin.


    When Spring Halo saw the Void de yers passing by, he brought along his demons and followed behind them. He first activated [Dark Barrier] and followed up by throwing a [Poison Nova] at the archers situated at the backlines. After doing so, he immediately turned tail and ran. Under the protection of the demons, he ran back into the shop.


    Whenever the yers from Void de were sneaked attacked, they were used to chasing down the perpetrator. In their attempt to chase Spring Halo, they got caught up in his [Dark Barrier] and received a beating from the six demons that were previously deployed.


    Spring Halo’s poison was exceptionally toxic and effective. With the use of a single [Poison Nova], the archers from Void de practically lost half of their entire health bars. After getting caught up in Spring Halo’s [Dark Barrier], the archers were beaten up by the demons as well. From the start till the end, all these unfortunate victims ever saw were Spring Halo’s skills...


    The moment he thought of Spring Halo’s ability to use [Call of the Abyss], Captain Don’t Open Fire heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I have seen that Shaman before. He is shrewd and sly... Be extra careful, but it’s fine, the rest are not much of a threat...”


    “Boss, we were ambushed.”


    Just when Captain Don’t Open Fire was finishing his sentence, he received yet another news.


    “F*ck! Who were you ambushed by as well?!” Captain Don’t Open Fire was starting to get annoyed.


    “It was still the Priest.”


    This guy truly had rotten luck, to actually be able to meet Fearless twice and get sessfully ambushed by him both times.


    “How did the Priest manage to ambush you...” Captain Don’t Open Fire angrily said.


    Priest was not a ss made for battle. Being able to kill a single yer inbat could still be attributed to a yer’s individual skill. However, Void de had over 200 yers teamed up together. How could they possibly be ambushed by a single Priest?


    “It’s the same old trick. He released a cloud of mist, trapping us in,” the person replied.


    “If it’s just getting trapped, surely you guys were not hurt?” Captain Don’t Open Fire asked once more. He still refused to believe that Fearless was capable of torturing so many yers to death in such a situation.


    “The entire team was annihted...” The other party said in a defeated tone.


    “Cough...” Captain Don’t Open Fire spat blood out.


    “Useless trash! You actually got team-wiped by a single Priest?! What do you even do for a living!” Captain Don’t Open Fire mercilessly shouted.


    “We weren’t killed by the Priest, we were killed by the yers that were passing by.”


    “What do you mean by that?”


    “After the Priest trapped us, he started yelling on the streets, saying, “Need help to kill the Snake Goblin Boss. Whoever manages to loot any equipment will be able to keep it...”


    “F*ck!”


    Upon hearing this, Captain Don’t Open Fire copsed. With both his hands wrapped around his head, he squatted on the floor...


    Shortly after, the already distressed Captain Don’t Open Fire continuously received news of his teams getting ambushed. Neither of the teams was spared... the method of operation was always the same and could be summed up as such: “When the enemy advances, I retreat. When the enemy retreats, I chase. When the enemy stops, I harass. When the enemy gets tired, I attack.”


    What’s even scarier was the fact that the yers from Quan Zhen Sect came without warning and left without a trace. They were shrewd and only aimed for the yers in the backline. Apart from the Pugilist, Wang Yu, the rest never even revealed their faces.


    Within a short period of time, the yers from Void de were panicky. Even though they were a group of over a hundred yers grouped together, they were all paranoid, afraid of someone suddenly appearing and stabbing them in the back.


    The elite yers from Void de were not much different in terms of skillspared to the yers from an old timer guild such as the Sanguine Alliance. However, harassing a mob such as the teams sent by Void de was considered an easy feat for Quan Zhen Sect.


    Of course, if they were to engage in actualbat, the few yers from Quan Zhen Sect would definitely not be able to fight it out. However, the number of lives in a game was unlimited. What’s more, the yers from Quan Zhen Sect were all extremely scheming. So what if Void de managed to take down the headquarters of Quan Zhen Sect? To this bunch of people, would there be a difference between them having and not having a headquarters? On the contrary, it would only serve to fuel their anger.


    If this were to keep on dragging on, however, neither party would benefit from it. The reason why Sanguine Alliance decided toe to terms with Quan Zhen Sect was due to their method of fighting, and clearly, Sanguine Warg was a smart man to do so.


    “D*mn it, d*mn it...”


    Upon seeing his own men getting beaten by Quan Zhen Sect, Captain Don’t Open Fire was speechless. The only words he could muster were vulgarities.


    Normally, a battle between arge guild and a small one would not turn out as such.


    Normal small guilds do not have such abilities as they were normallyprised of yers that were ying the game as a form of entertainment. Even if they wanted to engage in such gueri tactics, they may not have the ability to do so.


    However, Quan Zhen Sect was different. Every yer in the guild was an expert in his/her own rights and were allparable to professional gaming experts in the industry.


    With too many people, it would be easy for them to hide amongst the crowd and stab them in the back. With too few people, they had no chance of facing off against the Quan Zhen Sect’s yers, what’s worse was the fact that there were still a few yers from Quan Zhen Sect stuck in the resurrection point and did not partake in this ambush... If yers like Ming Du, with job sses that were capable of executingrge scale AOE damage, were to join in the fray, when faced with ordinary yers from Void de, the damage done would be way worse than what Wang Yu did.


    As the saying goes, “You shouldn’t be afraid of the moment a thief decides to rob you, but rather be afraid of the moment a thief marks you for life.” Getting targeted by this bunch of yers was a troublesome issue and was causing Captain Don’t Open Fire a headache.


    “God Sanguine Rain, what do you say we do about this?” Captain Don’t Open Fire begged for Sanguine Rain’s advice.


    Sanguine Rain calmly analysed, “Clearly, this bunch of yers are experts in such gueri warfare. It would be difficult to deal with them. If you had listened to me at the very start and stayed low to hide, things would have turned out fine.”


    “Would I still be able to salvage the situation if I get my men toe back now?” Captain Don’t Open Fire asked.


    “En! Get them to guard this ce instead,” Sanguine Rain nodded and replied.


    “Guard the resurrection point? Wouldn’t we be very passive then?” Captain Don’t Open Fire said reluctantly.


    “Guarding the resurrection point is the safest. Leave Quan Zhen Sect to us,” Sanguine Rain said.


    The yers from Quan Zhen Sect were all acting independently and were hard to locate. On the contrary, their targets were big teams with over a hundred yers. Trying to deal with such a small group of experts in such a way would be impossible. Thus, the right way to do so would be to fight fire with fire.


    yers like Sanguine Rain were professional experts with exceptionally high abilities and good battle sense. Individually, he was a cut above most of the yers within Quan Zhen Sect. If they continued to use such tactics, they would no longer be able to get any advantage.


    “I’ll have to trouble you then.” Captain Don’t Open Fire gratefully thanked Sanguine Rain, feeling more emotionally stable after hearing Sanguine Rain’s offer to help.


    “Captain, no need for such words, we are all doing it for the guild.”


    Sanguine Rain politely replied, following which he started to gather his men.


    The professional experts from Void de were all scouted by Captain Don’t Open Fire at great costs. Some of them were retired experts while others were prominent at some point in time in the past. Most of them were solo yers, except for the four yers pulled over from Sanguine Alliance.


    Amongst them, the most renowned expert would be Sanguine Rain. Thus, with the addition of the four yers from Sanguine Alliance, most of them were willing to take orders from Sanguine Rain.


    Initially, Fist of Heaven was Sanguine Rain’s rival. However, at this point in time, even he was beaten senseless by Wang Yu. Seeing everyone treating Sanguine Rain as the team leader, he had no choice but to follow under him.


    After gathering the necessary yers, Sanguine Rain created a party and invited everyone into it. He then gave the order, “Everyone will act separately. They should be hiding near the locations of ambush. These are the coordinates.”


    As he was speaking, Sanguine Rain sent a chain of coordinates, which were all the ces where the yers from Void de were ambushed at.
