Chapter 474 - Ninjutsu – Shadow Dance (1/2)

Deception wasn’t stupid. The guilds weren’t foolish either.

Golden Fragrance wasn’t the only one to try hiding on the sides, waiting to make an ambush. Deception had seen this sort of scenario, where the intersections looked very sweet, four times already. This was now Deception’s fifth time seeing this scheme.

However, this time, there was one thing different from the previous four attempts.

Golden Fragrance had more people!

Deception took up his guard. He didn’t rush straight towards the intersection. Instead, he went onto the rooftops and prepared for the unexpected. When he landed on the roof, he was suddenly caught off guard. In that instant, fifteen people appeared at the intersection.

Their encirclement tightened around Deception. It looked like he had a way out behind him, but the pursuers from behind were getting closer and closer by the second. From the start to the finish, he had never been able to escape from the pursuers.

“Let’s see where you run now!” Golden Fragrance stepped forward and shouted aggressively at Deception. She didn’t have any enmity towards Deception. It was just that she hadn’t been able to find Deception and wanted to seize this gift to vent her anger.

“Hmph!” Deception coldly humphed. Without saying anything more, he looked around and calmly observed his situation.

Fifteen players. They had already completed the encirclement. It was his first time encountering this sort of situation. Moreover, his opponents had plenty of experience. Their encirclement had layers. The gap between the layers had calculated the distance his Shadow Clone Technique could reach. Deception wouldn’t be able to rely on this technique to escape.

There was no easy way out.

Deception immediately realized this. He knew that this time he was truly in a dangerous spot. If he didn’t force his way through, he would certainly die!

It only took him the time for a single breath to come to this conclusion. Golden Fragrance’s words had only just finished, when Deception suddenly rushed forward. His target was Golden Fragrance.

To capture a band of thieves, first catch the leader!

Although taking down the leader wouldn’t change the situation significantly in this situation, if he wasn’t able to break through, bringing down the leader along with him was still decent.

With his blade glinting in the light, Deception arrived extremely quickly.

But Golden Fragrance wasn’t a core expert of Excellent Dynasty for nothing.

Seeing Deception rush at her, she immediately raised her hands and fired.

Three Anti-Tank Missiles shot out towards Deception. In an instant, the smoke and light from the explosion engulfed the area.

“Careful!”

Someone on the side warned.

Golden Fragrance didn’t have time to react. All she saw was a streak of blood fly out from her.

a.s.sa.s.sin skill: Cut Throat!

How did Deception get behind me? It wasn’t hard for Golden Fragrance to figure it out. His only way to do so was Shadow Clone Technique. However, she hadn’t seen him used even though he had been right in front of her eyes.

Every skill had a sign before it was used. When Shadow Clone Technique was used, the character would shake slightly. Everyone knew Ninjas had this technique, so everyone usually looked for this sign, yet Golden Fragrance hadn’t seen it.

This was because Deception’s hands were extremely quick! The faster the movements were done, the shorter the sign. This didn’t have any limit.

For a Launcher, being closed in on was very bad. However, Golden Fragrance wasn’t too alarmed because she wasn’t the only one fighting.

Her character turned around and used a Swing, the Launcher’s knock-up skill.

Deception had retreated a long time ago though. Cut Throat had simply been an attack done in the pa.s.sing. His main goal was to break through the encirclement and escape. If he wasn’t able to escape, then he would fight.

After retreating from Golden Fragrance, Deception turned around and leaped up. He flipped in the air and flew above two players blocking the path in front of him. He just hoped these two players wouldn’t react too quickly.

Of these two players blocking the path, one was a Sharpshooter and the other was a Blade Master. Unfortunately, their reactions were very fast.

The Blade Master leaped up and used a Falling Phoenix Slash in an attempt to slice Deception.

There was no other option for Deception. He slashed with his ninja blade to guard against the Falling Phoenix Slash.

Clank!

This guard was only a type of attack versus attack. It wasn’t an actual defensive skill. Whether or not the attack hit the opponent’s weapon depended on the player.

Deception had only used a normal attack, while the Blade Master had used a Falling Phoenix Slash.

Thus, he was only able to reduce some of the damage and wasn’t able to block the Falling Phoenix Slash’s momentum. The blade light continued to descend rapidly. Deception put his ninja blade in front of him and could only watch as he was cut down.

This was the difference between a normal guard and the Guard skill.

The Guard skill could completely negate the opponent’s attack, while a normal guard only blocked a portion of the damage.

Deception was. .h.i.t to the ground by the Falling Phoenix Slash. When the Sharpshooter jumped up, he made a roll backwards.
