574 Panic At The Slightest Move

As Hidden Lurker said this, one could tell that he was deep in thoughts. His mind was filled with scenes from many years ago… Mercy Hand was also bewildered when he saw Hidden Lurker so deep in thoughts.

"Hey! You drop your gold coin!" Just when the two of them were day-dreaming, a person from the crowd of players shouted.

Mercy Hand subconsciously lowered his head to take a look as Hidden Lurker warned, "Be careful…"

Just when Hidden Lurker warned him, a dagger flew from above and it struck the back of Mercy Hand's head. Following that, the dagger travelled from the back of Mercy Hand's head to his throat violently.

At the same time, Darknorth Fisher, an Assassin, appeared out of thin air. Seeing that Mercy Hand was not dead, he raised his other hand to press onto Mercy Hand's head. With a swing of his dagger, he pierced through Mercy Hand's neck once more…

Mercy Hand was merely a Weapons Master whose defence and health were not comparable to that of a Guardian. Darknorth Fisher's speed of attack was exceptional and every strike was aimed at a vital part of the body. Out of the three strikes, two of them even had explosive effect which was enough to turn him into white light.

"Liuyun, hurry up and hold him back!"

After Darknorth Fisher settled Mercy Hand and was about to kill Hidden Lurker, Hidden Lurker started throwing lightning bolts while shouting for help.

Darknorth Fisher was a agile player with quick reaction. Even so, he only managed to dodge two out of the three lightning bolts as the last one struck his head. This single lightning bolt took away almost half of Darknorth Fisher's health.

At this moment, Nian Liuyun had already rushed to the scene. He extended his arm to grab Darknorth Fisher but Darknorth Fisher simply toss his dagger away. This forced Nian Liuyun to halt before he disappeared from the spot.

"???" Hidden Lurker was dumbfounded. Even though Hidden Lurker was not an Assassin, he knew that the [Stealth] mode of an Assassin had its cooldown time. One would usually be able to use [Stealth] sixty seconds after appearing from the previous [Stealth] mode. However, only 10 seconds had passed and this fella was able to use it again.

"Liuyun, pick up the dagger!" While Hidden Lurker was shocked, he wasn't someone who wouldn't pick up a profit when there was an opportunity. Seeing the glow in Darknorth Fisher's dagger that he tossed away, Hidden Lurker instantly knew that this was a peak grade item. Therefore, he hurriedly instructed Nian Liuyun to pick up the dagger so as to minimise their overall losses.

However, an Assassin appeared once again to pick up the dagger. Nian Liuyun reached out for the neck of the Assassin but he disappeared once more.

"What! What is happening…" Hidden Lurker's eyeballs almost flew out when he saw this. This time, the cooldown time was less than 3 seconds. Was it possible that this fella's [Stealth] mode had no cooldown?

Just as Hidden Lurker was still in shock, the squad in front shouted again, "There's an Assassin here!"

Hidden Lurker looked over and all he saw were two white light and the Assassin disappeared again…

Just like that, the Assassin appeared at the front, back, left and right almost once every thirty seconds. Everytime he appeared, he would kill two men before entering [Stealth] yet again. Most of the players from United Alliance were Magicians with low health. In such a situation, all of them grew wary of the surrounding.

"Everyone gather in formation with the Guardians on the outside to protect us! There are more than one enemy!" At this point, Hidden Lurker finally had some clues as to what was happening.

An Assassin's cooldown time for [Stealth] mode was sixty seconds while the enemy appeared once every thirty seconds. Moreover, the fighting styles differed vastly everytime the Assassin appeared. One had incredible speed and high damage while the other had incredible speed, high damage and also invincibility skill. Evidently, there was more than one person.

However, Hidden Lurker was certain that these two Assassins had [Second Stealth]. To deal with [Second Stealth], only level 40 Holy jobs could possess the skill. In a city like Thunderstorm City where the main job was Magicians and Warriors, the possibility of finding a person with a Holy job was lesser than finding a giant panda here, let alone a level 40 Holy job.

Currently, the most dependable method was to gather their troops to allow the Guardians to draw out the Assassins using [Taunt].

The players from United Alliance were so frightened that they would panic at even the slightest movement in the surrounding. When the wind blowed and a tree branch moved, everyone would looked nervously at the tree. The Guardians protecting the formation dared not move at all.

Frost Blade and Darknorth Fisher hid in one of the shrubs behind the tree. Looking at how ridiculously scared the United Alliance was, both of them were so amused that tears almost came out of their eyes.

Berserk Heavenlaw's situation was not the most optimistic as well. Currently, five of their teams gathered to become one as they slowly inched forward. The forest was a training area with a sizable area. Having five hundred men to search an area together was not only ineffective, there were several obvious gaps between the formation too.

Even so, they had no choice because they couldn't afford to split up. They simply couldn't afford to have yet another team wiped out by the Quan Zhen Sect…

Wild Thunderheart was frustrated and depressed. Initially, he believed that he was showing enough respect by sending over one thousand men to deal with a mere 11 of them. Who knew that these 11 players was even tougher to deal with than their wildest imagination? Not only were they exterminated team after team, they were treated as preys in this forest. This resulted in so many of his men being extremely passive.

"Wild Thunderheart, someone is there."

While Wild Thunderheart was still deep in thoughts and worries, Berserk Heavenly Thunder suddenly warned him. Wild Thunderheart followed Beserk Heavenly Thunder and indeed, there was a bold Pugilist sitting under a tree and laughing coldly at them. Who else could it be?

At this moment, everyone else also spotted Wang Yu and just as they were going to charge at him, Wild Thunderheart held them back, "Do not rush! This fella is not to be trifled and he isn't easy to capture too. Moreover, he looked like he was up to no good so we should ignore him…"

To be honest, Wild Thunderheart was not embarrassed to say something like that in front of his five hundred men… This was because he knew of Wang Yu's capabilities especially in a terrain like this. Wang Yu was capable of flying and jumping high and the moment he jumped onto one tree and flew to another, they could forget about catching him. Everyone couldn't be bothered to play hide and seek with Wang Yu.

Only a few players had witnessed Wang Yu's abilities previously. Therefore, many of them, especially Berserk Heavenly Thunder, was extremely unhappy with Wild Thunderheart's decision. However, Berserk Heavenly Thunder had lost his enemy once and had no rights to argue with Wild Thunderheart. THence, he could only listen to Wild Thunderheart's instructions and search another area.

"…" Wang Yu felt incredibly awkward as he was casually ignored by Wild Thunderheart and his men once again.

If you're not going to provoke me, I shall provoke you!

At the thought of this, Wang Yu jogged over slowly. Berserk Heavenly Thunder was paying close attention to Wang Yu's movements and when he saw Wang Yu catching up with them, he was infuriated, "F*ck! What is the meaning of this? Is he looking down on us, the Berserk Heavenlaw? This is way too humiliating…"

Wild Thunderheart immediately advised, "A person like him likes it when you give him attention. Don't bother about him…" Wild Thunderheart exchanged blows with Wang Yu twice so he kind of knew how Wang Yu was like as a person. As long as you don't provoke this fella, he would seldom initiate a fight against you.

Who knew that Berserk Heavenly Thunder would grow even angrier as he shouted, "I don't care! A lone wolf disrespecting so many of us? I cannot accept this! Brothers, turn back and fight!"

The players from Berserk Heavenlaw were all top experts in the city. Wang Yu's disrespect was enough to infuriate not just Berserk Heavenly Thunder, but the majority of them. The players, who were still furious from the humiliation of being ambushed, turned their bodies the moment they heard Berserk Heavenly Thunder's orders. They completely disregarded Wild Thunderheart's advice as they pointed their staffs at Wang Yu.
