Chapter 244 - Destroying Their Confidence (1/2)

The guild members thought that they had Lord Grim and Cleansing Mist under control as their encirclement was going smoothly, but at this moment, Ye Xiu received Steamed Bun Invasion’s report of his successful exit out of the city.

“Let’s go.” Ye Xiu said.

“Okay.” Su Mucheng replied. Her Cleansing Mist flipped her hands and used an Aerial Fire, flying backwards along the flat ground. Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim used a Shadow Clone Technique. His real body was in front, waiting for her to arrive.

The guild members attacked from two sides and were currently forming a pocket. Sword auras flashed, bullets flew, and magic danced in the air in an attempt to block them.

“Ha ha, if you hadn’t gone and grouped up, then it’d have been better.” Ye Xiu said. The incoming missiles flew past the two of them. The occasional hits didn’t affect their movements too much.

As a result…….. the missiles flew from the left side to the right side and from the right side to the left side.

“Bang!!” Su Mucheng dubbed the sounds for them.

In the end…… the scene that they had been waiting for never arrived. The guild members were unorganized, spreading out like scattered sand last night and all of them learned about the importance of being a group now. Even though they wouldn’t obey each other’s orders, they were at least working together. After partying up, allies wouldn’t take damage, so even if magic and explosions enveloped both sides, none of them would take damage.

“Lame……” Su Mucheng mumbled. She turned her cannon and fired towards the players who attempted to block her.

Because they were trying to block two of them, the three players who had come forward to face them, ducked to avoid the attack. However, Lord Grim rushed forward and blasted them away with a Falling Flower Palm.

The players on the left and right had been planning on doing a pincer attack, but one of them was grabbed and flung back with a Back Throw. The grabbed player was thrown down onto the ground, and by the time they returned to their positions, Lord Grim was already gone.

There was a flash and Cleansing Mist chased after him with an Aerial Fire. Their Aerial Fires connected, and the two flew back some distance.

To chase or not to chase? The guild members immediately began thinking.

Should they silently return back to the city in shame, or should they clench their teeth and chase them non-stop?

The orders quickly came.

The final decision was to dispatch a few players to watch where they were going. Thus, a few players jumped out from the main army and chased after Lord Grim and Cleansing Mist.

They wouldn’t chase too closely. They weren’t planning on fighting because they knew that fighting them would only result in their deaths.

Find out where they were. That was the order their guilds had given them.

They often knew where they were, but what was the point? The two showed up on their own. They came and then left, but their orders were still to pinpoint their locations.

The players there didn’t know how to describe their current feelings. Doing something over and over again was scary. Doing something that they didn’t know if there would be any gain was even scarier. The guild members wished that it would end soon, but in reality, their wishes didn’t come true.

The players, who went to “understand their whereabouts”, followed Lord Grim and Cleansing Mist to a small village outside of Congee City. Here, they saw the two meet up with Steamed Bun Invasion. They immediately reported the news and the guilds would revise their strategy according to the news, but before they were able to come up with a plan, Lord Grim’s group took the initiative.

In the small village, the players were killed by an evil trick while searching for Lord Grim. Ye Xiu’s group had hidden themselves and then ambushed them when they got into their range.

Lord Grim’s whereabouts were once again unknown.

Reports of their whereabouts had been sent many times, but there was no progress among the guilds. This truly did make them unhappy and exhausted.

Reports from Line Canyon said that Lord Grim’s group had appeared. The guards at the entrances had been killed.
