Chapter 964: An Unfathomable Ambush

“Hmm!”
Seeing how arrogant Ming Du acted, the female Warrior grunted coldly, “I really wondered what kind of expert I would meet. Who knew he would turn out like this?”
This lady was really able to hit the nail on the head. Ming Du’s appearance and character were indeed not up to everyone’s expectations.
However, Ming Du took pride in the way he was as a sc*mbag so when he heard the female Warrior’s ridicule, he replied by laughing, “Haha! Do you really think all experts are always good looking? That is just the wishful thinking of poor people like you.”
“Quit the nonsense!” the female Warrior replied coldly, “Right now, you only have two options. The first is that you walk with us and the second is that you tell us the way you activate the quest. Otherwise, hehe!”
Following that, the female Warrior pointed her sword forward to say, “My sword has no eyes so even if you choose not to say, I will force the answer out from you!”
Just when the female Warrior finished her sentence, everyone took out their weapons as they prepared for a fight. Even the Assassin who was hit by Ming Du’s [Ring of Fire] stood back up and retreated back into the squad.
“There is no need for that as I choose the third option!”
Ming Du smiled as he threw out the Spear of Lightning from his left hand as it flew directly towards the female Warrior.
At this moment, the hand of a Holy Knight behind the female Warrior flashed forward as his scepter turned into a massive shield. The Knight’s shield was raised in front of the female Warrior and when Ming Du’s Spear of Lightning struck the shield, it went up in smoke. On the other hand, the shield didn’t even sway at all.
“Aiya, that is pretty impressive!”
When Ming Du saw that, he couldn’t help but compliment.
Ming Du’s Spear of Lightning was a skill he obtained from the start of the game. The familiarity points of the spear was already at its maximum and not only did it have the repel effect, but its attacking capabilities were also considered pretty decent. Just the firepower alone was not too far away from the current ultimate lightning skill.
However, this Knight managed to block the Spear of Lightning casually. Evidently, his judgement was incredibly high and not any lower than Ming Du’s magic.
This Holy Knight looked just like any of the other female Warrior’s sidekicks. The fact that any random person like him would have such capabilities proved that these bunch of people were not as simple as Ming Du first imagined.
Of course, it wasn’t as easy as it seemed for the Holy Knight who took on Ming Du’s attack. His expression changed as he whispered to the female Warrior, “Sister Yu, you have to be careful. This person is exceedingly powerful.”
“Oh? Really?” The female Warrior was also slightly taken aback, “How powerful?”
The Holy Knight replied, “One skill from him was enough to clear half of my hinder points. This is my first time seeing such a frightening magic attack!”
“En!” The female Warrior nodded her head before ordering, “Everyone, attack together, and let’s get this done quickly!”
Upon receiving the orders, everyone charged forward with their weapons with hesitation.
“All you shameless pricks! To think you are actually ganging up against me!” Ming Du cursed when he saw what was happening as he knocked his staff against the ground. Flames started emerging from the grounds of the alley as it sealed up the alley. The close combat jobs were all shelved to one side of the flames.
When the female Warrior saw that, she shouted, “Archers! Magicians!”
Before the female Warrior finished her commands, a sky full of arrows were descending towards Ming Du. At the same time, Ming Du’s feet grew hot as flames enveloped Ming Du.
Seconds later, Ming Du’s flames disappeared and everyone realised that Ming Du was no longer on the other side of the flames.
“???” Everyone was confused as they asked, “So easy? We killed him just like that?”
As players increased in levels and were equipped with better weapons, their health bar also grew longer than before. Instant kill was no longer something as common as before.
In order to seal off Ming Du’s escape route, the Archers and Magicians used skills such as Arrow Rain and Fire Wall. Such range skills were not outstanding in terms of damage done so it would indeed be surprising if they could kill someone with skills like that.
Just when everyone was wondering how they did it, a familiar voice could be heard from above them.
“Berserk Thunder!!”
“On top! Everyone dodge!”
These players were naturally experts in their own ways. When they heard the voice, they dodged even without lifting their heads.
“Chi!!!”
A lightning bolt descended from above and landed among the crowd of players. Following which, it turned into a lightning serpent which shuttled through the crowd of players.
This was not [Berserk Thunder] as it was clearly [Chain Lightning].
Presently, Ming Du was Reynolds’ named disciple who could control all kind of conventional lightning skills.
The female Warrior and her men were devastated. Initially, if they had stayed at their original position, they wouldn’t be able to activate the chain effect. However, Ming Du’s shouting of [Berserk Thunder] was enough to throw everyone off their position. In the end, all of them suffered the brute force of Ming Du’s [Chain Lightning].
Everyone knew how frightening and powerful Ming Du’s magic attacks were. Even though [Chain Lightning] was a ranged skill, the damage output wouldn’t be any lower than a normal attack. The pitiful Shady Glow almost died as he was left with a tiny drop of health.
“F*ck! What a despicable man!”
Shady Glow threw his fist into the sky furiously and in the end, another lightning bolt descended on him to turn him into white light.
At that moment, everyone lifted their heads as they were all prepared to fight back. However, Ming Du was no longer in sight.
…
“F*ck! I’ve been ambushed and all of them are top experts. I almost lost my life, and it seems like they are out to get us. All of you better be on the lookout!” After escaping, Ming Du hurriedly sent a message to the guild chat to warn the rest.
However, it seemed like Ming Du’s warning came a little too late. Just when Ming Du finished saying that, Fearless replied, “I’ve been ambushed too! However, I’ve managed to escape!”
“Someone tried to ambush me too but I know how to fly!” Spring Halo commented.
Everyone in Quan Zhen Sect was ambushed at almost the same time.
…
“I managed to kill one person when I escaped!” Boson said it with pride.
Vainglory didn’t wish to lose so he refuted, “Damn! I kicked my way out of the encirclement and I’ve killed three people!”
“I only ran away after gaining control of all of them…” Ling Longmeng also joined in the fun.
This was indeed the nature of the Quan Zhen Sect. They were clearly ambushed but instead of figuring out who was trying to get them, they went off topic and started comparing strengths.
Only Wang Yu’s reply was more appropriate, “Really? So those few fellas are trying to ambush me earlier on… I really thought they came to snatch my quest.”
“…” The guild chat fell silent when Wang Yu commented.
Wang Yu was probably the only expert who couldn’t differentiate between newbies and experts.
The newbies were too weak that they couldn’t defeat anyone while Wang Yu was simply too strong such that he could defeat anyone.
Vainglory questioned, “So did you kill all of them?”
“It really wasn’t hard at all!” Wang Yu was exceedingly humble.
“Damn it! In the future, you are not to comment when ordinary people are talking!” Everyone expressed their discontent towards Wang Yu.
“Speaking of which, why hasn’t Crotch Lord replied?” At this moment, the meticulous Yang Nuo noticed that someone was missing in the chat.
“Crotch Lord?” Everyone went ahead to @Crotch Lord to ask, “Crotch Lord, how many did you kill?”
However, Crotch Lord appeared to have not seen the message as he didn’t reply for a long time.
After one full minute, Crotch Lord finally replied, “Kill your head! I’ve been surrounded!”
