Chapter 104: A World-shocking Night
Under the night moon, the appearance of Zhao Hu and Yi Ye Fu Yun on the rooftop instantly made the whole street fall silent.
“Two advanced apprentices?”
Noco looked at the calmly chatting Zhao Hu and Yi Ye Fu Yun, and his expression turned somewhat ugly.
The extreme apprentice Luo Wu Shang in front of him already required both him and his nephew Grenta to suppress her, and the other Great Ape Gang members present could not help at all.
Now two more advanced apprentices from Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had shown up. As long as these two joined forces to pin down either one of them, the course of the battle would change greatly.
“You two help me pin down that quasi-martial artist. I will kill the one in battle armor as fast as possible,” Luo Wu Shang said directly without wasting words. “Then we split that mecha three ways!”
“Split three ways?” Yi Ye Fu Yun glanced at the A6-grade battle armor, and that burning, covetous gaze made even Grenta feel a chill. “No problem.”
For something as full of black technology as the A6-grade battle armor, it only existed in the information on the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall smart watch. Yi Ye Fu Yun had even thought that players would never have a chance to own such a thing.
He had not expected that this limited-time surprise attack task would actually bring such a huge surprise.
If he could wear such a seamless steel battle suit, that would be insanely cool.
“Good.” Zhao Hu nodded beside him. Though he said nothing more, his gaze kept sweeping back and forth over Grenta, clearly very tempted by the A6-grade battle armor as well.
“Good, good, good!” Noco watched Zhao Hu and Yi Ye Fu Yun talking so brazenly. His originally furious expression suddenly twisted into a smile. “I, the vice gang leader, have roamed the wilderness for so many years, and I have never seen arrogant little brats like you. Just for that attitude, I will not kill you directly today. I will cripple you, hang you on the poles at the main gate, and show you to all outsiders!”
With that, Noco was the first to charge at Zhao Hu and Yi Ye Fu Yun, intending to quickly finish off these advanced apprentices from Obsidian Martial Arts Hall who did not know their place, then cooperate with Grenta to kill Luo Wu Shang.
“B2-grade weapon! I did not even notice, turns out he is a rich man too!” Yi Ye Fu Yun’s eyes lit up as he watched Noco rush at him with a halberd. He hurriedly said to Zhao Hu beside him, “Brother, how about you let me have this guy? I will give you fifty thousand points afterward.”
Zhao Hu shook his head and said directly, “Three hundred thousand points. Not a point less.”
“Damn, brother, you are ruthless. That is three hundred thousand points!” Yi Ye Fu Yun said, but while speaking he drew the B2-grade standard spear from his back and met Noco’s halberd head-on, clearly agreeing to Zhao Hu’s terms.
Prairie Fire Spear Technique First Form: Spark!
Bang!
Spear and halberd collided. The terrifying impact directly shattered the entire house beneath their feet, and both sides were blasted back several meters, their weapons trembling.
“You!”
After landing, Noco stared at Yi Ye Fu Yun in shock. The pounding in his heart could no longer be described in words.
As the vice gang leader of the Great Ape Gang, wherever Noco went, even in the suburbs, the young masters there would always give him some respect.
Especially after he had quietly broken through to become a quasi-martial artist, with his custom B2-grade halberd and his mastery of martial artist-level martial skills, there were probably few people in the wilderness who could claim to surpass him.
But in a direct clash of martial skills with a mere advanced apprentice like Yi Ye Fu Yun, he actually did not gain the upper hand. It was simply unbelievable.
“Want me to help?” Zhao Hu looked at Yi Ye Fu Yun with a smile. “If you want my help, I only need five hundred thousand points. That halberd will be yours.”
“No! I can handle it myself,” Yi Ye Fu Yun said speechlessly. “I cannot afford a two hundred thousand service fee.”
“In that case, I will go help over there.” Zhao Hu was not surprised. He leaped away to support Luo Wu Shang.
If Noco’s weapon had been gauntlets, Zhao Hu would definitely have taken Noco down alone even for five hundred thousand points. But the halberd was not his preferred weapon, and there were no experts in the guild who specialized in halberds, so Yi Ye Fu Yun got the bargain.
As for Zhao Hu leaving, Noco did not try to stop him. He simply watched Zhao Hu go.
“You old bastard are quite smart, choosing to go one-on-one with me,” Yi Ye Fu Yun said, rather surprised as he watched Noco remain unmoved.
“What is Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s purpose in attacking our Great Ape Gang?” Noco paid no attention to Yi Ye Fu Yun’s low-level provocation. His previously fiery mind had instead calmed down. He looked at Yi Ye Fu Yun and questioned him in human race language. “This is the headquarters of our Great Ape Gang. There are countless experts here. I have already sent out the notice; a large number of experts will be here soon. You cannot escape. Tell me your purpose now, and I might spare your life.”
Noco had no idea what was going on with Obsidian Martial Arts Hall suddenly attacking their headquarters, or what Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was thinking.
He had only just agreed to the winged tribe’s proposal to attack Crimson Moon Mountain, and Obsidian Martial Arts Hall came attacking right after. He did not believe Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could receive news that fast.
Even if Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had learned that their Great Ape Gang was going to attack Crimson Moon Mountain, such a major matter, without full confirmation, how would they dare attack a top-twenty wilderness gang?
If Obsidian Martial Arts Hall dared to do this, there had to be some important reason he did not know about, such as preparing to join forces with a high-ranked wilderness gang against the Great Ape Gang. After all, their Great Ape Gang had no shortage of enemies.
“Purpose?” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked blank for a moment, then suddenly seemed to realize something. He straightened up proudly, his spear swirling magnificently. Then he tilted the spear to one side and sighed, with a touch of loneliness. “Loneliness. Do you understand the loneliness of being invincible?”
“Loneliness of being invincible?” Noco stared at Yi Ye Fu Yun in astonishment, stunned for a long while. Though he did not understand Yi Ye Fu Yun’s thinking, he was still deeply shaken.
“That is right. My purpose today is very simple. I came to find an expert, hoping that expert could kill me. Unfortunately, I have not found one yet,” Yi Ye Fu Yun said with a sigh.
“Fine. Since you do not want to tell me, you can go die,” Noco said, seeing Yi Ye Fu Yun posing as some invincibly lonely figure, realizing that if Yi Ye Fu Yun was not messing with him, then he was a lunatic.
Noco no longer held back. He thrust his halberd fiercely at Yi Ye Fu Yun.
Martial artist-level martial skill: Blood Red!
This martial skill unleashed 5 times his power, and his attack speed doubled. Although it greatly consumed qi and blood, as a quasi-martial artist his qi and blood were far more abundant than those of an advanced apprentice. In a prolonged fight, Yi Ye Fu Yun would surely die.
“Good timing!”
Yi Ye Fu Yun did not back down, meeting him head-on with the Prairie Fire Spear Technique First Form: Spark at triple strength.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Again and again, the two sides clashed with martial artist-level martial skills. After more than thirty exchanges, neither could do anything to the other.
However, Yi Ye Fu Yun’s complexion had grown a bit pale, as if he had lost too much blood. In contrast, Noco still looked much better, though he no longer had his earlier flush.
On the other side, Luo Wu Shang and Zhao Hu were in a deadlock with Grenta, who focused entirely on defense. Even though Luo Wu Shang’s sword qi had already demolished more than a dozen houses, and could not be blocked without internal force, Grenta, relying on the neural assistance and combat support capabilities provided by the A6-grade battle armor, was always able to evade Luo Wu Shang’s sword qi in time.
Facing Zhao Hu’s Lightning Palm, Grenta could also easily block, giving the two no chance at all.
After the battle had gone on for two minutes, several quasi-martial artist senior officials of the Great Ape Gang arrived together with over a hundred Great Ape Gang experts. Smiles appeared on the faces of Noco and Grenta.
“You are dead!” Noco shouted as he saw the three quasi-martial artists running over. “Quickly, help me kill this one!”
But just as Noco finished shouting, the smart watches on the wrists of Yi Ye Fu Yun’s group suddenly emitted shrill beeping alarms.
“Only five minutes left?” Luo Wu Shang glanced at the timer she had set before coming and said helplessly, “Elder Zhao, time to retreat.”
“Alright.” Zhao Hu nodded without any fuss.
“Damn it! Sister Wu, come help me out. I will give you five hundred thousand points afterward!” Yi Ye Fu Yun panicked as he saw the time.
“What is with them? They know support has arrived, and they are preparing to retreat?” Grenta shouted as he watched Luo Wu Shang actively pull away. “All Great Ape Gang members, listen up! Stop them at all costs! We must not let them escape!”
At once, the Great Ape Gang members present were full of fighting spirit and rushed at Luo Wu Shang’s group.
“It is not up to you.”
Luo Wu Shang glanced at Grenta, who was closing in, and immediately took up a surprise attack stance. She drove her B2-grade long sword forward and stabbed frantically at Grenta.
Martial artist-level martial skill: Chaotic Stars!
For this move, Luo Wu Shang compressed her internal force into Point Star. In Instructor One’s review, it had reached rank five, 92%, already very close to rank six. However, this move consumed an enormous amount of internal force and could not be used lightly unless at a critical moment.
Suddenly, twelve thrusting streams of sword qi shot out like lasers toward Grenta. Grenta hurriedly tried to evade, but the twelve streaks of sword qi came too suddenly. Even with the assistance of the battle armor, he was still struck on the shoulder and arm by two of them, and one arm was completely ruined.
Before Grenta could even scream, he suddenly heard gasps and an unwilling scream from behind.
Less than ten meters away, Noco had been struck in the thigh by a sword qi. In the next instant, Yi Ye Fu Yun unleashed his greatest trump card, Spiral Demon Spear Kill.
With a power surge of 3 times, he directly shredded Noco, whose thigh was injured and who had no time to use Blood Red to block.
“Go!”
Seeing Yi Ye Fu Yun take the halberd, Luo Wu Shang immediately turned and left without any hesitation.
“Got it!”
Yi Ye Fu Yun took the halberd and stepped into Leopard Shadow Steps Second Level. To the shock of everyone present, he and Luo Wu Shang vanished into the night.
