Chapter 58: Teaming Up Against The Boss
[Blood Rage] Once used, it causes the whole body to flush red. This change can’t be concealed at all, and it’s obvious at a glance that some ability has been used.
However, seeing this change, Fei Xiao was not startled but delighted instead. He deliberately shouted, “Could it be that you still plan to deal with all of us single-handedly?”
The brief clash earlier made him realize that the high school student in front of him had extremely terrifying combat power, possibly the strongest existence in this deathmatch arena right now.
So he urgently hoped to use the power of the crowd to take down Lu Bai.
“‘Node’ how is it on you? What trick did you use to deceive Brother Hui?” Lan Ke walked over and sternly questioned.
“I picked it up, thinking no one wanted it.” Lu Bai’s face became even more flushed.
Lan Ke said impatiently, “Hmph, since you picked it up, then Brother Hui’s ‘node’ should rightfully be kept by our Survey Corps. If you’re sensible, perhaps you can still…”
A Ten Blades member grew needles on his face, interrupting Lan Ke’s words: “No need to talk so much to this kid. Anyway, he can’t escape. If you’re smart, hand over the ‘node’ quickly.”
At the window, Xiao Xueyin clutched his chest and twitched a few times, but unfortunately couldn’t get up.
Yan Zhiquan saw his two students gather beside him and gained some confidence.
He stepped forward and said, “Lu Bai, one person can’t protect the ‘node’. You need help.”
The implication was naturally to collect some “protection fee”.
When Lu Bai brought the USB drive to this office hall, he knew he was destined to become the target of all.
But this was intentional from the start.
Lu Bai exhaled, and the hot breath turned into a small puff of white mist in the air.
“You probably don’t quite understand the current situation.”
He raised the Eight-Sided Han Sword in his hand, and his voice unconsciously carried a smile: “I’m not targeting anyone. I mean everyone present…”
The next moment, his figure flickered like a flash, crossing half the hall to arrive in front of Lan Ke.
Along the way, blood instantly spurted from the necks of two death fighters.
A gust of wind swept by, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
“…are all trash.”
The voice was very soft, but in Lan Ke’s ears, it was like a death curse, making his scalp numb.
“What the hell?”
“Holy shit!”
All the death fighters who saw this were utterly shocked.
Because it was simply too fast, with no room for any reaction. If not for those two freshly made corpses, they wouldn’t even be able to confirm what exactly happened just now.
“Don’t just stand there, get him together. No matter how strong he is, he only has three abilities.” The man in the black vest took small quick steps and rushed over rapidly.
Lu Bai glanced sideways slightly. He had observed this guy in the black vest, who also had some ability to dodge attacks, which easily reminded him of Duan Jianhui.
Even if he didn’t seem as anomalous as Duan Jianhui, it would probably take an extra strike to chop him, which was troublesome.
Taking advantage of Lu Bai’s distraction, Lan Ke instinctively pulled away his position while throwing out the playing cards in his hand.
Crack~
Lu Bai casually swung his sword as if unintentionally, and the incoming playing cards were split in two on the spot.
He wasn’t in a hurry to pursue Lan Ke.
In his eyes, they were all the same. As long as they couldn’t keep up with his speed or had no effective means to counter [Flash Time], to him, it was no different from chopping wooden stakes.
Death fighters with strong ability combinations were ultimately a minority. Most death fighters should burn incense if they had one or two useful abilities.
So as Lu Bai attacked without reservation, this so-called siege directly turned into a joke.
He charged to the nearest death fighter, followed by another sword swing.
Slash, chop, wipe, stab…
He roamed freely in the office hall. The Eight-Sided Han Sword in his hand was like the judge’s soul-reaping brush, easily writing one death after another.
Occasionally activating [Flash Time] made his movement trajectory unpredictable.
This resulted in, although there were quite a few death fighters present, not only could they not attack him, they couldn’t even keep up with his steps.
In fact, even excluding the super model’s [Flash Time].
Relying on the physical fitness enhancement from the zombie virus, the boost from [Drow Group], and the explosive increase from [Blood Rage], it was enough to make his combat power reach a terrifying level.
From the moment Lu Bai started attacking, in less than half a minute, seven death fighters had fallen.
Fei Xiao knew that if this continued, it wouldn’t be long before all the death fighters present were killed by Lu Bai.
He roared, “Don’t hold back anymore! Use whatever skills you have now!”
As if to prove his words weren’t empty, he was the first to reveal his trump card.
A beam of white light shot out from his position, accurately hitting the rapidly moving Lu Bai.
[Heavenly Conduit (Gold): Select a target and apply a weakness mark to it, reducing the target’s various attributes proportionally. The weakness mark cannot stack.]
The effect of this white light was immediate, and Lu Bai’s speed visibly slowed down.
Yan Zhiquan nearby hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and rushed to Lu Bai’s movement path, also using his gold ability.
His whole body expanded like it was inflated, and his robust muscles directly tore through his upper garment.
[Astral Body (Gold): Greatly increases vitality, but slightly reduces agility.]
Earlier, when he teamed up with Xiao Xueyin and Osas against Fei Xiao, he hadn’t used this ability.
Yan Zhiquan’s two students saw Big Brother act and followed up with support.
[Terracotta Soldier’s Indestructibility (Gold): Consume 10% of current life to petrify oneself, reducing damage taken, and mock enemies, forcing them to launch normal attacks on oneself.]
[Peach Garden Oath (Gold): Make three targets swear brotherhood, forming life sharing.]
All death fighters who had survived to now possessed a gold-level ability.
Over a dozen gold abilities combined could produce even absurd effects without surprise.
Fortunately, Lu Bai quickly took out some death fighters, otherwise the situation might have been even more troublesome.
As various gold-level abilities were performed, Lu Bai’s actions were immediately affected.
Various negative effects stacked up, making him feel his head dizzy and his body powerless, like he had just come out of a smoky black internet cafe after an all-nighter.
In a daze, he suddenly found that in his vision, only a high school student wearing a gray school uniform remained, and a deep impulse surged in his heart to slash him no matter what.
Mockery was a very powerful control skill in group fights.
However, something unexpected happened to Yan Zhiquan.
The opponent just walked a few steps toward them, and his eyes cleared up, as if the mockery hadn’t taken effect at all.
And Lu Bai was similarly puzzled. He realized that the strong impulse in his heart came fast and left even faster.
It was as if negative emotions like anger and impulse shouldn’t exist in him.
Lu Bai came back to his senses and unconsciously wanted to laugh.
Fortunately, he held it back.
He decisively avoided Yan Zhiquan and the others ahead, charging diagonally toward the densest part of the crowd.
After all, just looking at those rock-like muscle lumps, he knew he couldn’t resolve it in a short time, so it was better to pick soft targets first.
Regrettably, under the interference of various abilities, Lu Bai’s results in the next period were still not ideal.
His normal speed dropped sharply, forcing him to frequently use [Flash Time] to compensate, with efficiency greatly reduced.
It was a simple reason.
The power of [Flash Time] came more from the user themselves.
Even a fat otaku with [Flash Time] couldn’t outrun Bolt on a 100-meter track.
In this situation, continuing to kill rapidly like at the start was no longer realistic.
Moreover, death fighters who survived to now, besides some luck factor, wouldn’t have too low base qualities.
Without detailed communication, the death fighters present quickly adjusted positions, turning from chaos to standard team combat mode in less than a minute.
Death fighters with control abilities stayed back to provide support, while those with frontline combat abilities handled blocking.
It wasn’t just taking hits without fighting back.
Taking advantage of the time when Lu Bai was affected by numerous control abilities, at least five or more death fighters were trying to take him down.
Lu Bai used [Flash Time] again, swinging his sword horizontally.
After killing a death fighter that pounced on him, he quickly retreated to open distance.
He looked around; every direction had at least two death fighters blocking.
If it were only this, it would be fine.
The problem was, he couldn’t fight at full strength now. In game terms, his status bar was stacked full of debuffs.
Whether strength, speed, concentration, or even lung capacity and other minor aspects, all had declined to some degree.
He couldn’t burst at full power for long before slowing down to catch his breath.
Fortunately, with [Flash Time] acting as deterrence, the surrounding death fighters didn’t swarm all at once.
“What exactly is this guy’s ability set?”
“Don’t rush, wear him down slowly.”
“Don’t give him a chance to breathe!”
The support death fighters chattered nonstop with shouts.
The scene was very lively, just like teaming up to raid a dungeon boss.
Although his killing efficiency was hindered, Lu Bai’s mindset was very steady, always on the verge of bursting into laughter. Occasionally forgetting to manage his expression, he would show a pure smile.
The death fighters surrounding him up close had combat power not to be underestimated. Seeing Lu Bai occasionally flash a mocking smile, they went even crazier with ruthless attacks.
A slightly short member extended his right arm, with a small blade similar to a sleeve sword attached to his fingers.
When Lu Bai’s head was dizzy, he was stabbed by this Short Person death fighter seizing an opportunity.
It caused no wound, but gave him a chill down his spine.
One death fighter was a robust woman. She used no weapon, fighting bare-handed.
Turning hands into blades, each palm strike carried a whistling sound tearing through the air, the force contained within imaginable as terrifying.
Besides her, another three death fighters also aimed straight for Lu Bai’s life with every move, though in his view, their threat wasn’t as great as the previous two.
