From afar, Xiao Jie saw Xia Yi the Unrivaled, chugging from a wine gourd.
"Xia, save me!" Xiao Jie rushed to Xia Yi the Unrivaled, quickly opened the trade window, and dumped all the items he purchased into it.
"Being chased and killed, it’s an emergency in the worldly society. Look, Xia, there are quite a few of them, can we handle it? Or should we just run?"
"Rest assured, I’ve got everything under control," Xia Yi the Unrivaled said confidently, taking out another jug of wine and guzzling it down.
Epic Talent—Great Drunken Hero. The more he drinks, the stronger he becomes.
Xiao Jie thought that Xia must be confident for a reason, so let’s do this, he thought, risking his life to stand by the gentleman.
He applied the Vajra Talisman, used up the last of his Sharpening Stones, and then summoned Xiong Da.
Just as the two of them finished preparing, a chaotic sound of hooves came from the woods. The World Association’s members arrived in an instant, but apparently, they had run too far and some were poorly mounted, failing to keep up, leaving only eight people.
The eight dismounted upon seeing Xiao Jie; it was more convenient to fight on foot in the woods. However, they hesitated to charge at first because of their wariness towards the powerful account of Xia Yi the Unrivaled.
Eight people... that’s quite a few, Xiao Jie thought, standing side by side with Xia Yi the Unrivaled. After a moment, he took two steps back.
When Cloud Guest saw Xia Yi the Unrivaled, he was shocked. This man had killed many in Luoyang Town and was well-recognized by everyone.
"Xia Yi the Unrivaled? This is a private matter of our World Association, please do not interfere."
"Hahaha, you trash of the World Association, always bullying the weak and fearing the strong because you have the advantage of numbers? I’ve disliked you for a long time, and if you don’t want me to intervene, I’ll do exactly that. Either leave or don’t, but you’ll all stay here," he retorted.
Before Cloud Guest could respond, one of the gunmen behind him burst out in anger, "Damn, don’t get cocky, just because you’re high level doesn’t mean you’re invincible. We have enough people here to take you down."
"Then bring it on, why waste any more words."
As Xia Yi the Unrivaled spoke, he unsheathed both sword and saber, assuming a stance with the saber on the left and the sword on the right.
This confidence made the World Association members hesitated. No one dared to attack first. Although they knew they had a fair chance of winning a real fight, this level 30 account could likely kill several of them in retaliation; no one wanted to die.
The two sides faced off for a moment when suddenly, Xiao Jie had a bad feeling. There were still a few of the opponent’s men rushing towards them.
He quickly sent a private message.
Hidden Moon Following Wind: They are waiting for reinforcement! More people are coming.
Xia Yi the Unrivaled decisively responded, "Since they don’t want to leave, make sure they can’t. "
Cloud Guest was shocked, not expecting his opponent to attack alone—he completely overlooked Xiao Jie as just a level 13 account, not worth consideration.
"Kill! He’s red named, killing him would make us rich!"
"Right, let’s gang up."
The crowd roared, but no one dared to charge forward, instead, they switched to remote weapons, throwing flying knives and shooting arrows.
Xia Yi the Unrivaled moved swiftly, his movement technique—Shadow God Form!
His movements, like a slide projection, dodged all remote attacks and reached Cloud Guest instantly.
Swinging his saber to chop.
But Cloud Guest lacked the courage to engage Xia Yi the Unrivaled in close combat and quickly moved back using his movement technique. Xia Yi the Unrivaled wanted to pursue but didn’t expect that Feng Buping, who was behind him, raised his hand.
Ghost curse—Ghostly Eye Cover!
Xia Yi the Unrivaled’s screen turned pitch black in an instant.
"Damn, what the hell!" Xia Yi the Unrivaled was shocked, unexpectedly faced with magic from an enemy filled with lower-level accounts.
This is precisely why Magic professions are the most bug-riddled, as any purely Physical Profession is crippled once hit with such a strong control skill, regardless of level or skill strength, greatly reducing effectiveness.
Cloud Guest jubilantly shouted, "Everyone, attack, kill him!"
The blinding effect of Ghostly Eye Cover only lasted a few seconds, but in a high-skilled duel, a few seconds were enough to determine the winner.
The surrounding members of the World Association saw an opportunity, and five or six people attacked simultaneously with swords, axes, long spears, and staffs, intending to kill him instantly.
Flash! A flash of white light appeared, and Xia Yi the Unrivaled’s screen returned to normal—it was Xiao Jie who had used the Divine Wood Talisman to remove the curse from behind.
Xiao Jie had been aware of Feng Buping’s presence, so he had the Divine Wood Talisman equipped immediately and, fortunately, it came in handy at just the right moment.
Xia Yi the Unrivaled laughed loudly, facing the attack of five or six people without concern. Since there was a mage, he needed to deal with him first, as the threat was too great.
He directly executed his Big Move on Feng Buping.
Secret Technique—Purple Lightning Thunder!
This was the Outer Secret Technique of the Thunderbolt Saber Technique, transforming into a lightning-like purple shadow, causing 300% weapon damage + 150 lightning damage to the first enemy in a straight line from him.
This strike charged through the crowd, hitting Feng Buping, who was in the back row!
With just one slash, he took down most of Feng Buping’s health. As a mage, his Constitution wasn’t strong, merely bolstered by equipment to push his health volume to 360. Seeing only a sliver of health left, he frantically shouted, "Ghost Soldier, appear at once!"
However, a level 20 mage close to a level 30 Hero stood no chance.
He was promptly cut into four by Xia Yi the Unrivaled’s swift Sword and Saber Cross Attack.
Cloud Guest was immediately frightened; he had always seen Feng Buping as his most formidable rival, not expecting him to be defeated in just two moves during their struggle for the position of second troop leader.
