Something wasn’t quite right. Lu Li glanced at the shadow again and looked in a different direction.
Although there was still a group of players rushing over, they were coming in quite rapidly, which wasn’t good, as they were probably enemies. This was quite unexpected and he didn’t know how many players there were. It was fortunate that he noticed them just as they had finished discussing.
They didn’t have any time to hesitate. They had to quickly deal with the first wave of players before more arrived, or quickly retreat. The way Lu Li saw it, there was no way they could surround them.

Attack!

With Lu Li’s command, the four teammates around him burst into action.


There was some distance between the two groups, and Lu Li wanted to take advantage of that. The true strength of the second group remained to be seen.
The Paladin pretended to bump into the incoming enemies, which ended their plan to mount a sneak attack. They had no choice but to change their strategy, and order for this Paladin to be killed.
Ruling Sword’s Paladin was already prepared and began to take steps to stay alive. His mission was to attract their attention and firepower. While he was being attacked, the other three would focus fire the Druid. While they were crowd-controlling the Druid, they noticed a Mage standing next to them. Lu Li cast a quick Sap on the Mage as well.
Although the Mage used their badge to cancel out the Sap, the Druid didn’t have such a chance.
He was one-shot, because there was Lu Li and three other damage output professions attacking him. The Druid didn’t even have the chance to heal or cast any damage reduction skills. When he died, he still had a look of surprise on his face. This was to be expected, as Lu Li and the others were professional players focusing down an ordinary player.
Sometimes, the fact that you had Cloth or Leather Armor was completely negligible.
After killing the Druid, Lu Li immediately turned to the Mage. The Mage had reacted quickly and was correct in using the badge earlier. When he had freed himself, he tried to save the Druid, but it was hopeless.
The idea was a good one. If all went according to plan, the Mage would save the Druid.
However, when he realized he was now the target, he quickly used Ice Block to gain invulnerability. He didn’t think Lu Li would change targets so quickly when he cast this.
The Mage was now caught in a difficult situation. Should he continue in the Ice Block or try to help the others?


Lu Li’s Hunter and Mage teammates didn’t have to worry about this as they simply targeted whoever Lu Li was attacking.

Dammit, this Thief hits so fast!

Flying Knives couldn’t be called a seasoned PVP player, but he immediately recognized how dangerous this Thief was. He immediately gave up on the Paladin who was about to die and directed the others to attack Lu Li.
As long as they killed Lu Li, the other players would be a walk in the park.
But would Lu Li be easy to kill? If you asked anyone who had fought Lu Li – even the players who had killed Lu Li – the answer was a resounding no!

Why does this Thief have such high defense!


Why does this Thief have so many damage reduction skills!


How can this Thief be giving himself HP!

How was it that their advantage of ten players to five meant nothing? Several players were dying and they were all Flying Knives’ teammates.
Surely it wasn’t because they were too weak?


Killing another player felt exhilarating, but now that they were the victims, they could feel a strong sense of frustration. Their attacks were useless, their damage reduction skill timings were sloppy, and they were falling for all kinds of tricks. This Thief was giving them a crash course on a thousand ways a Thief could escape.
Of course, Lu Li couldn’t kill everyone with so many people attacking him, but by the time he had already killed five players, he was only down to half HP.

Retreat!
Flying Knives cried out as he looked at Lu Li and at the equipment of Lu Li’s companions. He became soberly aware that they had failed. If they couldn’t defeat them with ten players, they didn’t stand a chance with five.
Those who could run away immediately started to; they didn’t want to die after all.
Another reason was because Lu Li had targeted him. Berserkers wore Plate Armor, but he couldn’t withstand being attacked by five players. The masked Thief also had ridiculously high damage.
He didn’t realize at the time that this was Lu Li.
After all, Lu Li wasn’t omnipresent and he had no reason to be here.

Leave this Berserker,
Lu Li commanded. He soon realized that the Berserker was the leader. As long as he killed him, the others would soon fall. It also seemed that the Berserker’s equipment was more valuable than the other players that were being killed.
Berserkers were not known for their defense, so killing them was not as difficult as killing a Paladin.

I am a Berserker and I fight with the wind, If I don’t have whirlwind, then I should just sit in the bin.



This was saying that was popular among Berserkers, as if they didn’t have their Whirlwind cooldown ready in a fight, then it was over.
Flying Knives had used Whirlwind when trying to focus down the Paladin, so there was nothing left for him to do.
When Lu Li attacked him, it dealt more damage than when he attacked Lu Li. These were both from regular attacks, and there was no other time when a Thief’s regular attack would deal more damage than a Berserker’s. Lu Li also made sure to block his path so he couldn’t escape.
After the Berserker fell, Lu Li picked up his axe.
This group had a lot of Dark Gold equipment, but he didn’t know if they would be finding an Epic. Lu Li held the axe in his hand and thought that he shouldn’t just give this to his friends. There were plenty of Berserkers in the guild that could use this.
While Lu Li occupied the Berserker, his four companions had been more aggressive.
In the end, the Berserker’s teammates were stuck thinking about whether they should run. They had no confidence in their ability to save their leader anyway, especially since he was under attack by the Thief that led the attack. It turned out that their guess was correct, but while they were hesitating, they lost the opportunity to escape.
Of the remaining four, one of them embarrassingly stepped into a Freezing Trap placed by Ruling Sword’s Hunter and was frozen.
This Hunter didn’t have such strong predictive ability, but rather, it was Lu Li that had told him to do it.
Of the two Mages, one had Frost Nova. He teleported ahead, leaving his frozen teammates


behind.
At this time, Lu Li guessed that the second group had almost arrived.
