Just when Fearless was about to take a direct hit from Ming Du’s lightning, she once again executed her strange movement skill. She tilted her body and within an instant, she had seemingly teleported forward a few metres.
“Boom!”
As [Berserk Thunder] crashed heavily, it blasted a big hole in the ground. However, Scarless remained without a single scratch on her body.
“F*ck!!”
The players from Quan Zhen Sect were stupefied.
[Berserk Thunder] was known for its speed in striking the target. Coupled with Ming Du frightening predictive abilities, even a professional player would be easily struck down by him. Yet, this woman evaded his attack so easily. How… How was this possible?
In terms of fighting, a martial artist would definitely be far more adept at it compared to the common player.
After all, whether it was reaction speed or variety of fighting skills, a martial artist would have previously undergone specialised training. It was reasonable for them to be far more formidable than the common player. They had already developed some sort of combat instinct.
Scarless hailed from the Moon Shadow Faction, which specialised in the qing gong martial arts. In terms of the game, this form of martial arts strengthens the practitioner’s mastery in movement speed. Adding an Assassin’s natural strong fighting skills to her arsenal, she could complement her existing set of skills. This synergistic fusion of skills led to a player that even the Quan Zhen Sect could not fathom.
That being said, Yang Nuo was not any weaker than Scarless. If she was here, even if she could not catch up to Scarless, she would definitely be able to restrain her. They would be in a far better position compared to now.
As the players from Quan Zhen Sect were still trying to come to terms with her astounding evasive prowess, Scarless lifted her right hand obliquely above her head. Her dagger, attached to a rope once again flew out towards Ming Du.
Ming Du was taken aback and hurriedly executed his movement skill to dodge the dagger but who could have predicted that she would change the trajectory mid-air. With a slight tug in her left hand and readjustment with her right, the dagger instead flew into a dangerous arc that bypassed Crotch Lord towards Vainglory.
Before he could even react, the dagger was already in his face. It was too late for him to do anything.
“Pssh!”
With a muffled sound, the rope wrapped around Vainglory’s neck as the dagger was lodged into his throat.
Vainglory dissipated into white light before he could even utter a single cry.
“F*ck!”
Seeing the nauseating arrogance of Scarless, Vainglory and Boson were infuriated. They reached out towards Scarless’s dagger before she could recall it and pulled the rope hard towards themselves.
Scarless was definitely not a match for Boson when comparing strength. However, Scarless leveraged the strong tug from Boson to lift herself up into the air, flying in a parabolic trajectory towards the players from Quan Zhen Sect.
The majority of players did not have the ability to fight while mid-air. Therefore, they were highly vulnerable in this state.
Seeing Scarless in the distance, Crotch Lord smiled at himself with glee. He raised his shield to accumulate the power to execute [Shield Bash] against Scarless the moment she entered his range.
However, after he sent out his attack, Scarless’ figure shifted as she gained even more altitude in an instant. Through that maneuver, she managed to dodge Crotch Lord’s attack narrowly.
It was the rare Assassin skill, [Two Segments Jump]!! It was not unexpected that Scarless had this ability since she prided herself on her skills in movement and concealment.
“Aiya…”
Crotch Lord recoiled forward as his attack missed.
“Boom!”
Scarless was in full control. She stepped on the back of Crotch Lord to leap towards Boson.
“!!”
Boson was about to lift his blade to hack down onto Scarless but he was way too slow compared to an Assassin. Before he could even raise his broadsword, Scarless had already used her index and middle finger to stab squarely into Boson’s eyes.
Boson was startled as he instinctively let go of her dagger and instead protected his eyes.
“Tsk!”
Scarless scoffed at him coldly as she retrieved the dagger with her left hand before giving Boson two tight slaps with her right hand.
“Pa pa!”
The sound was extremely crisp and resounding. Although there were ten HP points of damage, it caused Boson to turn red from embarrassment.
“Stay here!”
At this moment, Spring Halo knocked her staff on the ground and summoned vines to restrain Scarless. However, as the vines attempted to entangle themselves with Scarless, she unhurriedly navigated through the obstacles as she executed [Two Segments Jump] to leap out of Sprig Halo’s attack range.
Before she regained her balance, a strong pair of hands stretched towards her to grab her ankles.
Scarless felt a force restrained her entire body. She furrowed her brows before using the dagger in her right hand to stab downwards. Following that, she sent a flying claw to the nearest wall.
“Pata!”
Once the claw lodged itself in the wall, Scarless pulled herself towards it. With a strong tug, Scarless and her restrainer, Darknorth Fisher were drawn towards the wall.
Scarless fiercely kicked at him with both feet. In the brief tussle, one of the kicks caught Darknorth Fisher in the neck and he fell back onto the ground.
Fortunately, Darknorth Fisher was extremely skilled himself. Upon reaching the ground, he immediately forward rolled into a safe location whereby he could extricate himself from the range of Scarless’s potential counterattack.
“Sii…”
The players from Quan Zhen Sect sucked in a breath of cold air as they witnessed Scarless’ agility.
The players from Quan Zhen Sect were not strangers to fighting others. However, at this moment, they were ganging up on a single lady yet completely unable to touch even the hems of her robes. It was an unprecedented record…
…
Every though the players from Quan Zhen Sect were astonished by Scarless’s strength, Scarless was actually not having it easy.
As a Qing Gong practitioner, she had complete confidence in her movement. Even if it was an army of thousands, she knew that she could easily flit through their ranks with ease.
However, in that short exchange, she almost lost her weapon and was even restrained by a nobody. Scarless broke in a cold sweat as she realised the perilous danger she was in. It was the first time she felt this way since she played the game.
“Hehe, you guys are quite impressive!”
Scarless offered her heartfelt praise to her pursuers.
Even though it was a genuine compliment from Scarless, to the other players, it felt that she was mocking them… They looked at her with embarrassment, not knowing well how to respond.
Scarless was indeed the first of a kind to be able to make this bunch of shameless fellas not know what to say.
“Coughs!”
Maybe it was Spring Halo who had the thickest skin. He cleared his throat and replied, “Boss Scarless, your subordinates have all been captured by us. Return the Seal and all of you can leave this place safely. Or else…”
“Pui!”
Before he could even finish the sentence, Scarless interjected, “Shameless! Do you think you bunch of trash can even restrain me? Who can stop me if I do not want to leave Twilight City?”
“Is that so?”
As her words fell, a familiar voice came from above, “So, are you not giving this City Lord any face?”
