Chapter 489- Scamming

 “Damn, you are vicious!”

    Yanshi Wuxing retreated and activated Windwalking Body.
At the same time, a specter armor image flickered around his body and this was Spectre Body's passive effect.
Each time he was hit, it would stack dodge rate.
So there was just one secret when fighting such a player– insta kill him!

    “Shua~~~”

    I raised my hand and activated Quickness.
I just chased Yanshi Wuxing and activated Shifang Flame Spiral Eye.
Even if he used Secret Flash, I was still able to chase him!

    “July Wildfire!”

    Yanshi Wuxing ran whole saying solemnly, “Can you let me off?”

    “No!”

    I used Dark Shadow Jump and jumped in front of him.
Shock appeared on his face as he turned around to leave a fast spinning dagger light.
This was Circular Blade Dance.
I didn't hesitate to dash towards the right, I sunk down as White Cloak flashed.
Seven Star Blade landed quickly on his body like lightning!

    “152970!”

    He was insta killed without question.
When my White Cloak+Annihilation crit, no leather player on the server could block it.
Even if Dawn was here he would get insta killed much less Yanshi Wuxing!

    “Damn…”

    After he moaned, he knelt on the ground and dropped a shiny ring.
I picked it up and saw that it was an orange ring.
Its effect was decent but it couldn't compare to my Purple Change Ring and Starlight God Ring.
I tossed it into my bag.
Time to head back and sell it for a sum.

    “Lu Li!”

    Behind me, Gu Ruyi ran over with her staff.

    “Ruyi pick up the marks, quick!” I instructed.

    “En en.”

    Thus, the two of us picked up the marks.
Not long later, when we kept them all in our bags, our golden numbers changed.
In the end, I got 204 and Ruyi had 128.
The two of us had around 60% of the total.

    …

    “Okay,

time to submit the quest.”

    I walked to the front and activated Shifang Flame Spiral Eye.
I looked around, wary that people might ambush us.

    Ahead, a path led us towards the teleportation gate at the end of Cloud Ocean Palace.
In front of it stood two people.
They were Feng Canghai and Lin Songyan.

    Among them, Feng Canghai had 104 while Lin Songyan had 72.
All of us had 500.
This was the total number in Cloud Ocean Palace which was similar to what I thought.
Unfortunately, theirs added together couldn't compare to us.

    “En?”

    Feng Canghai was shocked, “Where is Lin Xi?”

    “Yanshi Bugong and the others killed her.” I frowned.

    “…”

    Feng Canghai said calmly, “If Lin Xi wanted to flee, Yanshi Bugong and Male Bear wouldn't be able to stop her.
I think…
She wanted to protect Gu Ruyi which was why she died right?”

    “Yea.”

    I waved, “Is there a difference?”

    “That is true.”

    Feng Canghai said, “Seems like Yanshi Bugong and Male Bear's marks are with you.
If not, you definitely couldn't have 200.”

    “Yes.”

    I nodded.
Lightning wrapped around me and I entered Darkness Shura state, “Feng Canghai, we are the last four, but…”

    I glanced at Li Yang and Zhou Ya, “If these NPCs attack, things might not be good for us.
Why not we work together and act like we are on one side.
As for us…
Ruyi and I can be first and third while Lin Songyan and you work together to get second.
Then you can get one of the hidden job spots.”

    Feng Canghai frowned and didn't say anything.

    Lin Songyan smiled, “Lu Li why are you so sure Feng Canghai and I can't kill one of you and then we can get two spots?”

    I frowned, “Old Lin, are you so confident? Are you not afraid that Ruyi and I kill the two of you and Elements don't get a single spot? Moreover, these NPCs want spots too!”

    “Is that so?”

    Lin Songyan was filled with disbelief.

    Junior Brother July Wildfire, I didn't expect you to walk to the end, these three…
Are they your friends?”

    Feng Canghai was stunned.
He could sense that Li Yang had bad intentions.

    Gu Ruyi clenched her staff and flames wrapped at the red jewel at the top of her staff.
She was storing up Flame Laser and was prepared to fire it.

    Lin Songyan raised his shield and sword to guard beside Feng Canghai.

    I laughed and walked forwards with Darkness Shura, “Senior Brother Li Yang you guessed right.
These three are my friends and we want to head out together, why…
Does Senior Brother Li Yang want to wipe us out?”

    “Why would you think that?”

    Li Yang looked at Feng Canghai's fierce gaze and his mouth twitched, “Forget it, you go.
We have completed our quest and reached Cloud Ocean Palace.
That is enough for me.”

    “Okay, thank you Senior Brother!”

    I cupped my fists and looked at Feng Canghai and Lin Songyan, “Are you two not trading? Or rather you want to give the final spot to Lin Songyan?”

    “…”

    Feng Canghai gritted his teeth.

    Lin Songyan shook his head, “Boss Feng don't think so much.
None of the hidden jobs are suitable for me, as for you…
You can become a Chaos Warrior and you will be much stronger.
Take the spot, as for me…
There will be more chances in the future.
Who knows, maybe there would be a dragonblood cavalry or something?”

    Feng Canghai nodded, “Okay then, this is tough for you Old Lin.”

    “En, I lost nothing.”

    Lin Songyan and Feng Canghai traded.

    I looked at Gu Ruyi and private messaged her, “Ruyi, I will act like I am leading you forwards.
Use flash to charge into the teleportation gate.”

    “Then you…
Will you be fine?”

    “They don't have the skills to kill me don't worry!”

    “En.”

    Thus, I walked with Gu Ruyi towards the teleportation gate, “Guild Leader Feng, then we will submit the quest.”

    I glanced at her.

    She waved her staff and turned into a white light which entered the teleportation formation.
At that moment, Lin Songyan used Assault and hit where Gu Ruyi was at.
As expected, they faked their trade and they wanted to kill Ruyi and I.
Fortunately I reminded her if not the moment she was stunned, Feng Canghai would definitely kill her.
The two of them would then charge into the teleportation formation and I wouldn't be able to stop either of them.

    Currently, the reason why I wasn't invincible was because I lacked a long-duration control spell.
Gouge was just a small control spell while Demon Tribulation was just based on luck.

    “Shua!”

    I dashed across and moved past Lin Songyan.
I looked at him calmly, “Old Lin, didn't expect you to be so cunning!”

    Embarrassment appeared on his face, “No choice, that is a hidden job spot, who won't be tempted!”

    “Hehe…”

    I smiled.
Dealing with Feng Canghai and Lin Songyan was different.
If we weren't cunning, we would be the ones to lose out.
I looked at Feng Canghai and smiled, “The battle today ends here, let's meet in Winter Sun City!”

    The moment Feng Canghai used Assault, I used White Cloak to dodge it before heading into the teleportation formation.
No choice, he had Sword Energy Form and he probably still had his invincibility skill so it was impossible to insta kill him.
As for killing Lin Songyan, that was pointless.
He was just a follower.

    “Shua~~~”

    A white light flashed and I was inside the formation.
My body was wrapped in a golden invincibility light.
Not far away was Gu Ruyi waiting there in joy, “Lu Li you are here!”

    “En.

    Another light flashed and Feng Canghai was here too.
We had brought all the marks with us.

    …

    The clouds rumbled and a giant body descended.
It was Elder Dragon.

    “July Wildfire, Feng Canghai, Follow Heart, you didn't disappoint me.
You have reached the end of Cloud Ocean Palace.
Come, these are the rewards that belong to you!”

    …
