Chapter 404 - Casually Strike a Pose

    Southern Lone de was quite shocked.


    Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion had actually walked directly towards where they were positioned, which was quite the unusual move on their part.


    Even though Southern Lone de had been nning to make off with Gu Fei’s dropped equipment for the longest time, his intention to do so had never been made known, so there was no reason Gu Fei should be aware that they harbored ill intent towards them.


    So just what was his purpose in striding over towards them like this? If he was attempting to avenge his friends, why were they not with him? There was no way he was simply passing by randomly and the thought to take revenge popped up when he spotted them, right? Southern Lone de thought this was a possibility, but of course he would have never expected Gu Fei toe looking for him on business.


    “And you said he was difficult to locate. This was a piece of cake!” Eternal Dominionuded as he walked over.


    “That’s what I’m telling you, there’s plenty of future in this job!” Gu Fei said.


    The guess that Brother Assist and the rest came up with was correct; the seven yers in Southern Lone de’s squad were all once in the ranks of the Ten Great Adepts, but they had all lost their cing the moment they lost their lives on their trip to Luori City.


    Each of the seven yers were all in the same predicament, having lost a level each after their trip. But these men were still confident in themselves when it came to their own skills, otherwise they would not have calmly continued toe up with a n to take on the experts from Young Master’s Elites. However, they were all caught off guard and their trains of thought were disrupted the moment they saw Eternal Dominion in Gu Fei’spany.


    They no longer had time to conceive of an intricate n, so Southern Lone de could only make eye contact with the other six men and convey ordingly, “Ignore Eternal Dominion and concentrate your attacks on the Video Mage.”


    The six men nodded.


    Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion came closer to them. Even though the seven men remained seated, Glue had already drawn his bow out in preparation while me Singed Clothes had begun to recite the first spell incantation he would be using silently.


    “Don’t do anything first!” When Southern Lone de saw the two ranged yers with them looked to be ready to deal the first strike, his hand quickly shot out to stop them and drew their attention over with his eyes.


    Everybody followed his gaze, and saw the men taking care of the baring forward to greet the two men.


    “What are you two gentlemen looking to order?”


    “Oh. that’s right!” Gu Fei suddenly remembered something. “Don’t this beach here restrict yers from PvPing?”


    The color drained from the barkeep’s face and his expression hardened the moment he heard what the two were saying. “What business do the two gentlemen have with the establishment?”


    “Why can’t we engage in PvP here?” Eternal Dominion asked, unprompted.


    “Because that would affect their business,” Gu Fei replied.


    “That’s right!” When the barkeep heard Gu Fei say this, he felt he must be the more sensible of the two, and his expression immediately softened quite a bit. “So if you are looking to fight, we hope that you two gentlemen could change the location of your battle.”


    At this point, Southern Lone de no longer had any intention of escaping as he shed a smirk, leering at Gu Fei provokingly.


    Naturally, this was not done without reason. He had just suddenly realized that even though it would be hasty to act here, there were benefits if a fight really went down in this ce. At the very least, the seven of them would not appear to be the antagonizers, while the two troublemakers Gu Fei and Eternal Dominion would subsequently suffer thebined wrath of the variousrge guilds of Linshui City hunting them down.


    Southern Lone de would obviously embrace such a chaotic scene unfolding. He loved being the fish in murky waters in such scenarios; it was precisely what his intended n of approach had been back when he set forth for Luori City. He did not expect toe round full circle and find himself in a simr situation after his failure back then, this time in his home ground of Linshui City!


    Southern Lone de did not want to miss this opportunity, so he held his scornful gaze on Gu Fei in an attempt to provoke the man with that smirk. Southern Lone de thought to himself, Someone whose PK Value would easily skyrocket to the tens is bound to be hot-headed, so he is sure to strike recklessly.


    In that case, even if the seven of them did not retaliate, the men from the various guilds were sure to act on their behalf. Even though they might be no match for the two experts, it would nevertheless create that chaotic scene he yearned for. Better yet, Gu Fei was sure to gain more PK points as a result of the battle! PK Value was something any professionalrcenist loved, for it helped increase their chances of getting their hands on the target’s strongest equipment!


    Southern Lone de thought about how wondrous that would be, so he continued to increase his provoking gaze. He saw Eternal Dominion point at him and say, “That’s Southern Lone de.”


    “I know,” Gu Fei nodded.


    “He’s looking at you with disdain,” Eternal Dominion noticed.


    Gu Fei chuckled, “He’s about to die soon, I’m not bothered by him acting arrogant for a while...”


    Southern Lone de felt a wave of sadness ovee him. But it was not because of Gu Fei’s disrespect. It was because he now realized that attempting to goad this man into action would be useless, since he did not care for such trivial matters at all. As such, the chaotic scenario that he hoped woulde about was not to be, in the end.


    But he soon heard Gu Fei speak to the three men tending the open air bar, “Gentlemen, I guarantee we will settle our business so immactely that it will be no trouble to your establishment.”


    There was no way the three would be easily convinced by such a im, so they shook their heads vigorously in response. Furthermore, after hearing that the man they were looking to target was Southern Lone de, who had another six men with him at the moment, they seriously doubted the fight would be as immacte as they imed.


    “We’re not gonna pry into the past conflicts you two might have with others, but this is our ce of business. So please settle your matters in some other ce.” The tone the barkeep kept with them was still civil. Men sure came in all varieties; had this been a guild from Yueye City, they would not have wasted so many words and simply in any interlopers on the spot instead.


    Gu Fei had hoped the man was as violent as the yers of Yueye City, but he found it awkward to respond with violence seeing how polite he acted.


    “Are you certain we can’t?” Gu Fei asked.


    The man shook his head.


    “Alright then!” Gu Fei had a helpless look, turning to leave with Eternal Dominion in tow.


    The three men thought the two would leave, but the moment they let their guard down, Gu Fei suddenly turned around, raised his sword in a nt, and pointed it towards the sky.


    “Descending Wheel of mes!!! QUICK SCRAM!!” me Singed Clothes yelled out. In an instant, the table where the seven yers were crowding around was emptied, as Southern Lone de and his squad reacted quickly and evacuated the moment they heard me Singed Clothes’ warning.


    “YOU!!!” The three barkeepers had not expected Gu Fei would actually do this, and were naturally infuriated.


    In the end, they watched as Gu Fei casually returned his sword to his dimensional pocket and calmly asked, “What’s wrong? Can’t I just strike a pose?”


    The three men were stunned, turning around and seeing that even though the seven men had hastily beaten a retreat in seven different directions, there was not even a trace of flickering mes in the air. It seemed that Gu Fei had merely just raised his sword innocently, while the seven men had overreacted.


    And since all he did was strike a pose, it was not considered to be an attempt at PvP...


    Nevertheless, the rules on this beach were set by the yers. It was not rigid like the rules set by the system, and was far more flexible in its interpretation. Even though there was no actual attempt, Gu Fei’s act could still be construed as troublemaking, which was still not condoned in any shape or form here. The three yers in charge of the premises reacted ordingly.


    “Looks like you’re here to intentionally cause trouble for us, bro.” With that, other yers from the other bars rushed over as well, most likely yers from the guild that owned the ce.


    Gu Fei shook his head in response, “Nope, I’m here to y someone.” With that, he raised his hand and abruptly disappeared. The three men had never seen such a strange disappearance like this in all their time ying the game and were confused as to what happened, when they suddenly heard a surprised cry from behind. The three men quickly turned to the origin of the cry and saw that the man whom Gu Fei was with had already moved close to the table while everyone was distracted by Gu Fei’s actions.


    After their evasive actions in response to the spell that turned out to be a ruse, Southern Lone de had not even managed to calm himself when he discovered Eternal Dominion was already dashing right up to where he was, eagerly engaging him with a swing of his fist.


    Southern Lone de did not think too much on the matter, and raised his shield to block the punch. Unfortunately, the person he was fighting today was no ordinary gamer.


    Southern Lone de had raised his shield in an attempt to block, but in doing so, not only was that punch blocked, his vision was obstructed as well. He did not know that that Eternal Dominion could still modify the punch he had thrown, changing into a w as he clutched the side of the shield.


    In response, Southern Lone de activated his Charge with his shield. Even though doing so reduced the distance and power behind the skill, it actually increased the area of attack applicable. When a Warrior activated their Charge, it was usually not done with the intention of damaging the opponent, but instead to proc the faint status onto their opponent, as well as to give a usually slow Warrior a sudden burst of movement in that instant.


    There was no way anyone would be able to avoid a shield Charge in such a close range.


    Unfortunately, the opponent Southern Lone de was facing today was Eternal Dominion; he had already anticipated Southern Lone de making such a move, so he immediately redirected the force of the Charge at the same moment his hand grabbed onto the shield, pushing Southern Lone de right past him the very moment he activated his Charge.


    Southern Lone de’s Charge struck nothing but air even as he saw a figure blur behind him, and immediately realized he was in trouble. Sure enough, before he could even turn around the moment his skill ended, Eternal Dominion had already scored a hold on his waist.


    Southern Lone de could only cry out in his head, Oh no! as he was flung into the air.


    Just as a Warrior would be imbued with a burst of speed they did not possess when they used their Charge, Fighters would experience something simr whenever they activated their Seismic Toss. It did not matter how heavy the target yer was, they would instantly be as light as a feather.


    The three men at the bar turned round, and saw Southern Lone de being tossed. Even the other six men of Southern Lone de’s squad were unable to react in time, as everything happened too fast. By the time they realized something was amiss, all they saw was Eternal Dominion wrapping round behind Southern Lone de and getting a hold on the man in the next moment.


    And it was not over yet...


    Eternal Dominion had even specifically chosen where Southern Lone de wouldnd as a result of his Seismic Toss, an empty clearing that would not disturb anyone. Gu Fei had blinked over and materialized there, even as his sword whipped out, the fiery glow that wreathed the de flowing in a red hot path upwards. Southern Lone de wanted to reach out and block it with his shield, but he had unfortunately he been affected by a Fighter’s Seismic Toss, which meant Southern Lone de was unable to escape or even move before hended on the ground; there was simply no way he could do anything to avoid it.


    Southern Lone dended in a cloud of dust. Eternal Dominion was one of the Five Unyielding Experts, and even though his care for his equipment was equally as nonchnt as Gu Fei,pletely unlike the average gamer, it was at least not crude to the point it was negligible. Just frompeting in so many system-assigned missions in Luori City alone had provided him with a rather splendid set of equipment, and since he was not sparring, it made sense he had them all on. In the moment Southern Lone dended, he could feel his HP bar drain rapidly, even as that fiery sh came flowing past him.
