Chapter 159 - The Remaining Five

Pandoras Chest? Dont you mean Pandoras Box1? Svelte Dancer still had the mind to correct Gu Fei at such a critical moment.

See you at the teleportation array! Young Master Han cheerfully waved at Gu Fei.

See you there As Gu Fei helplessly nodded his head to Young Master Han, Svelte Dancer suddenly shouted, Got it!

Got what? Gu Fei asked.

The flame wheels in the sky had already formed up and the raging infernos on the ground had become hotter. There was no time to explain, so Svelte Dancer pounced directly onto Gu Fei and landed on his back.

What are you doing?! Gu Fei struggled to take her weight in.

Svelte Dancer had taken out an item from her dimensional pocket mid-flight that caused the wind to stir. Gu Fei did not clearly see what it was, only that it glowed white as it began to quickly envelop them.

A portable teleportation array?! What the f*ck! Young Master Han was indeed an experienced gamer as he was able to recognize the item for what it was with a glance. A teleportation array did not differentiate between its users and would affect all who entered its boundary. With Gu Fei and Svelte Dancer now inside the teleportation array, Young Master Han would naturally have to suffer the spell bombardment alone. He could of course not accept such a development and immediately darted over, trying to enter the teleportation array as well.

Oh, you dont have to be so polite. There is really no need to send us off! Gu Fei smilingly said as he lifted his leg and kicked Young Master Han away.

Young Master Han was truly no match for Gu Fei when it came to hand-to-hand combat, so he was unable to dodge the latters kick and was forcibly sent backpedaling for quite a few steps. Regaining his balance and looking over, Young Master Han saw Gu Fei waving him off as the latters figure became a blur.

What a vicious move! Truly a cruel man! Svelte Dancer muttered under her breath as white light whisked the two of them away.

At that same moment, the countless Descending Wheel of Flames dropped from the sky and numerous Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno spread on the ground, swallowing Young Master Han whole as he uttered a muffled, F*ck!

Teleportation was an instantaneous act for the system, so Gu Fei and Svelte Dancer had already found themselves in another place even before Young Master Han died. Where are we? Gu Fei asked as he took in the surrounding flora and fauna.

We are still somewhere in the PvP arena. This Teleportation Scroll doesnt have a fixed pair of coordinates set on it so it randomly teleports players when used, Svelte Dancer replied.

Teleportation Scroll Gu Fei mumbled. When he showed the members of Young Masters Elite his Windchasers Emblem, they were very surprised to find out that Parallel World had items for teleportation. And yet, Svelte Dancer here already had a Teleportation Scroll on her. Pay-to-win players were indeed a different breed altogether.

Svelte Dancer saw their coordinates and exclaimed, Ah! Were quite far from where we were.

Theres no hurry, Gu Fei laughed. He pulled out his friends list and sent Young Master Han a message, You dead? Young Master Han was a skilled Priest, so he might have been able to grasp the timing between the spells and timely bestow Heal on himself to survive the bombardment.

However, today was apparently not Young Master Hans lucky day. His guildmates perfect coordination of their attacks left him no chance to save himself and he was instantly teleported to the plaza outside the Main Hall of Guilds! Grinding his teeth, Young Master Han spat, This is why I hate pay-to-win players the most! They always have something weird that can destroy tactics....

Mhm-mhm. I'll help you stare at her with contempt, Gu Fei replied, not bothering with Young Master Han any longer as he learned from the system messages the terrible situation of Amethyst Rebirth.

While Gu Fei and Svelte Dancer had been dealing with Young Master Han and the lot, the rest of the ladies had also been clashing with the enemy forces. The system messages that Gu Fei had just seen were announcing the deaths of the players from both sides.

By the time Gu Fei looked at these system announcements, Amethyst Rebirth had been left with seven players while Carouse had only lost twenty-nine members if Svelte Dancer and Gu Feis kills were included as well. That was not even 5% of the members Carouse had in this match.

The time it took Gu Fei to glance through these messages, Amethyst Rebirth had lost yet another two members, leaving them with only five players in the PvP arena. Since they were on the same team, he could see these survivors names. Besides Gu Fei and Svelte Dancer, the remaining three players on Amethyst Rebirths side were July, Lie Lie, and Will-low.

Xiaowu, Miles, Will-low, where are you guys? July asked on the guild channel. It seemed that Lie Lie was with July since she did not mention her.

Miles and I used a Teleportation Scroll to escape the enemies bombardment, Svelte Dancer answered.

Im at the nearby woodland. No one has found me yet, Will-low answered.

Lie Lie and I managed to escape the encirclement under Luo Luos protection, July sighed.

Its a pity Sis Luo Luo did not manage to escape, Lie Lie sounded hurt.

So what do we do now? Will-low asked.

Luo Luo just messaged us to ask for your guidance, Miles. Something about you having the experience to deal with the current situation? July asked this in a suspicious tone.

Only Luo Luo and Will-low in Amethyst Rebirth knew that Gu Fei was a member of Young Masters Elite. Although Svelte Dancer had barged into their mercenary group meeting, she still did not know that they were the Young Masters Elite. Luo Luo was naturally referring to Gu Feis experience participating in the PvP match between Young Masters Elite and Cloud Herder.

Fighting many with few. I do have a bit of experience in that, Gu Fei nodded his head.

I see. So what do you suggest we do? July asked.

Uhm. Let me think for a bit! Gu Fei replied as he sent Young Master Han a message, Hey. We are now left with five members. Is there any method for us to defeat your guild? Gu Fei looked to him, the online gaming strategist, for external aid.

The answer Young Master Han provided was: Scram!

Come on... Dont be like that, man! Ive already heavily chastised Svelte Dancer for her shameless actions, Gu Fei cajoled.

Uhhh To be honest, beating over six hundred players with just five players is indeed a challenge, Young Master Han admitted.

Thats right! Gu Fei thought that Young Master Hans interest had been piqued, so he quickly agreed with his observation.

I sure wanna give it a try!

Try it! Ill listen to your commands! Gu Fei was glad that he was interested.

But theres just no way!

Why? Gu Fei could not understand his next words.

Because Ive already helped Carouse set up the best method to deal with you five! Since the methods I come up with are usually perfect, I cant even find a loophole to exploit myself. Sigh I truly cant help you at all! Young Master Han sent him this message.

I really wanna beat you up right now! Gu Fei gritted his teeth angrily.

That will have to wait till you get out, or you can just head somewhere with many Carouses men and kill yourself. Thats also pretty fast. Shall I help to get their coordinates for you?

Just you wait! Gu Fei indignantly roared.

He he he. was Young Master Hans next reply.

Coward! Gu Fei sent someone else a message.

Dont call me that. Call me Cowards Savior! Cowards Savior admonished.

Are you busy right now? Do you know where Rays Bar is? If not, just ask around and you will know how to get there. When you reach there, go to the second curtain door in the back rooms and you should see a guy that looks like a woman. Go beat him up for me, Gu Fei instructed.

What for?

Im giving you a chance to experience actual combat! Dont kill him and just give him a good thrashing using kung fu. Remember to cover your face.

Cover my face? Why?

Dont ask too many questions. Ill tell you about it later. Quickly get this done!

Got it! Cowards Savior went out to execute his order.

Gu Fei closed the conversation window with a relieved sigh and turned around to find Svelte Dancer staring at him, What?

What are you doing?! Everyones waiting for you to explain your strategy on the channel! Svelte Dancer replied.

I cant think of any! Gu Fei said on the guild channel. A deviant helped them set up a strategy to specifically deal with us. Winning this guild match will be very difficult for us! Although Young Master Han was unlikeable in many ways, Gu Fei actually looked highly upon his ability to come up with brilliant battle strategies. Had it not been for Svelte Dancers item earlier, they would have been taken down by Young Master Hans previous stratagem.

What strategy? July asked.

I dont know yet, Gu Fei replied.

So how do you know that it's very difficult? Lie Lie asked.

Because that strategist is a really depraved person. Naturally, the plans he comes up with are equally twisted, Gu Fei patiently explained.

Who is this he? The ladies gossiping nature was aroused.

Hes a deviant, was Gu Feis only answer. Calling Young Master Han a deviant was one thing, revealing his identity to the ladies was another thing. Gu Fei did not intend to slander Young Master Hans reputation.

Tsk all the ladies replied this, evidently feeling dissatisfied with his answer. Svelte Dancer even harrumphed directly at Gu Fei to show him her dissatisfaction.

Whatever the case might be, we are now behind with a score of 29 against 46. If we want to win, we should at least catch up in terms of kill points, right? Will-low was indeed a fan of Brother Assist. Her keen sense toward data came into play at this crucial moment.

Thats right! Svelte Dancer agreed, saying, Hide yourself well, girls. Leave this matter to me and Miles. Svelte Dancers suggestion was normal. Despite July, Will-low, and Lie Lies levels being high in Amethyst Rebirth, they were still subpar compared to Carouses players.

Lets go! Svelte Dancer declared to Gu Fei.

Dont be so hasty, Gu Fei said to her.

What now?

Wait till I finish eating my banana.

Why do you have to eat this soon? Youre always eating a banana during the key moments. How annoying! Svelte Dancer expressed her dissatisfaction with him once more.

Youre right. Its getting pretty dull to eat that all the time, Gu Fei sighed, adding, Guess Ill eat an apple this time.

Svelte Dancer was left speechless by his answer that showed his misinterpretation of her complaint.

Chapter Notes:

[1] Pandoras Box - in this case, refers to that device used as a time portal in the movie mentioned in the previous chapter. Clearly, it is not related to the actual Pandora's Box.
