Chapter 785 - Gao Yi
Chapter 785 of "MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again" introduces new challenges: "Ah, ah-ah-ah, someoneās going to clean me up?" Gao Sheng pretended to be scared, looking... Keep following!
"Ah, ah-ah-ah, someoneās going to clean me up?" Gao Sheng pretended to be scared, looking around, "Where? Where? Iām so scared!"After his little performance, Gao Sheng sneered, "I should let you know that my family rules nearly a thousand worlds, and trash like you, I could crush you with a flick of my finger!"
"Oh, got it," Lu Hong couldnāt be bothered to deal with Gao Sheng anymore and turned to leave.
This time, Gao Sheng didnāt stop him, but called out from behind, "Kid, if you dare to leave today, you better go buy yourself a coffin."
Lu Hong waved his hand, "Donāt worry, Iāll buy one for you."
After staying overnight in the market town, Lu Hong had no choice but to get up and leave since one had to pay a sufficient fee every day to exchange for a dayās identity token. Without this token, the Formation in this place would detect and forcibly eject you from the town.
As for why Lu Hong had to leave, the reason was simple, he was out of money!
Transactions in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds were all done in Yuan Currency, and Lu Hong had only exchanged a few from someone surnamed Mao. After staying in the town for two days, he had used up all his money. Even if he didnāt leave, the Formation would kick him out just the same.
Walking to the marketplace entrance, Lu Hong could feel three to five people stealthily following behind him.
Oh, someoneās giving me money?
Lu Hong pretended not to notice and left the town directly.
When they saw Lu Hong leave, those five men emerged from the corner and followed after him.
But less than half an hour later, Lu Hong returned to the town. This time when he came back, he paid the residence fee for three consecutive days in one go.
Weighing the Yuan Currency in his hand, Lu Hong walked up to Gao Sheng with a smile, "As the saying goes, ācommit murder and arson for a gold belt; itās murder that makes the quickest money.ā Thanks, Brother Gao!"
This act was undoubtedly a great provocation towards Gao Sheng, who clenched his fists with rage but did not utter a word.
After Lu Hong left, one of the lackeys said, "Brother Gao, this kid seems to have some skills, should we...?"
"Go, bring Gao Yi here!"
"At once!"
With the Yuan Currency from Gao Shengās lackeys in hand, Lu Hong spent a few more leisurely days in the town and also bought some special products from the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, thinking of giving them as gifts to his wives back in the Star Sea.
Money, most of the time, is never enough. And sure enough, in less than seven days, Lu Hong had squandered the pile of Yuan Currency.
Broke again, Lu Hong left the town to enter the ancient road.
This time, Gao Shengās lackeys didnāt follow, much to Lu Hongās disappointment.
But before Lu Hong got much further, he saw someone blocking the way.
"Are you Lu Hong?"
"Yes, I am. Who are you?"
Gao Yi looked up and sneered, "Brother Sheng told me to kill you."
"Is that so? Then come at me."
No sooner had Lu Hong spoken than Gao Yi, like a gust of wind, swept towards Lu Hong.
Quick as lightning, almost as if on par with a Heavenly God.
Lu Hong was shocked and hastily retreated, but a line of blood still appeared on his throat.
Luckily, Gao Yi did not follow up after the slash and laughed, "Not a bad reaction, no wonder Brother Sheng canāt handle you."
Lu Hong touched the bloodstain on his neck and looked at Gao Yi with a solemn expression, "Try me again."
"Alright!"
At the instant his words fell, Gao Yi lunged forward with another slash aimed straight at Lu Hongās chest.
This time, Lu Hong was prepared. With the war rhythm activated, he tracked Gao Yiās movements despite his high speed.
Clang~
With a screeching sound, Gao Yi stepped back several paces, while Lu Hong, holding the Blood Holy Sword, stood still as a bell, unmoved.
After this exchange, Lu Hong had mostly figured out Gao Yiās capabilities; he was fast, but not particularly strong.
With the war rhythm tracking his moves, Lu Hong stood in an invincible position.
Gao Yi looked at Lu Hong in disbelief, "You actually blocked it?"
"How so? You think youāre fast?"
"Yes, Iāve always thought my bladeās speed was fast enough." Saying so, Gao Yi raised his battle saber and pointed it at Lu Hong, "Letās go again."
The next second, countless afterimages intertwined, and the sound of clashing blades filled the air unintentionally.
Every time their blades met, Gao Yi felt as if he was striking a mountain. The slight recoil wasnāt a big deal, but amidst the dense flurry of exchanges, this force accumulated, sooner or later it would inflict irreversible damage on him.
Therefore, Gao Yi stimulated his magic power, a myriad of white forces burst from his body, and with his empowerment, the battle saber emitted a faint dragonās roar.
"White Dragon Slash!"
Watching the approaching white dragon saber, Lu Hong also stirred up his Blood Qi power, and a Blood Qi Shockwave exploded forth.
Just as he had said, Gao Yi had a slight advantage in speed, but his magic power reserves were far less than Lu Hongās, not by a small margin. In this clash of skills, Lu Hong easily gained the upper hand.
Extinguishing the white dragon saber and maintaining its momentum, it crashed into Gao Yiās chest.
Gao Yi, in pain, spewed out a mouthful of blood and was thrown a hundred yards away.
"With those skills, you still come out to kill for others?" Lu Hong didnāt pursue either and, carrying the Blood Holy Sword, walked up to Gao Yi.
Covering his chest, Gao Yi realized from this clash of skills that he was absolutely no match for this guy. His total amount of magic power and its quality had already surpassed the standards of a first-class prodigy. Furthermore, even if his close-combat speed was slightly slower than his, it was incredibly balancedāthere was speed, skill, strength, virtually crushing him in every aspect. How could he even fight?
"Kill or slash as you wish!" Gao Yi was tough as nails, throwing down harsh words before turning his head away, refusing to look at Lu Hong anymore.
But Lu Hong reached out a hand, extending it in front of Gao Yi.
Gao Yi was startled, then realized what was happening and extended his hand too.
However, Lu Hong slapped it down instead, "What are you thinking? Pay up!"
Gao Yi rubbed the sore back of his hand; damn, it wasnāt about helping him up, how embarrassing!
"What money?"
"Life-saving money!"
Hearing this, Gao Yiās face turned red with anger, "Are you insulting me?"
"Are you an idiot? If I kill you, your money is mine. Now, Iām not killing you, just wanting the money. Isnāt that the same as sparing you? Iām saving your life here; if you call that an insult, then Iāll just kill you with one sword strike and plunder everything you have."
"This..." Gao Yi thought for a moment, then nodded, "Fine, Iāll give you all the money."
He then threw his Space Ring at Lu Hong, "Everything valuable is in there, take it!"
Lu Hong was silent, first checking the contents of the ring. He was shocked; there were at least a hundred thousand Yuan Currency and countless divine items inside.
"All for me?"
"Yeah," Gao Yi nodded. "Didnāt you say this was life-saving money?"
"Thatās too much, too much," Lu Hong said, taking the Yuan Currency from the ring and then tossing the ring back to Gao Yi, "I only want the money, keep the rest."
With that, Lu Hong turned and left.
Gao Yi, dumbfounded, looked at the Space Ring in his arms, then lifted his head with a look of admiration in his eyes for Lu Hong.
"Thereās honor among thieves. With the treasures of the world inside my ring, you remained true to yourself (though Lu Hong didnāt realize it), you must be the big brother Iāve been searching for!" Saying so, Gao Yi got up and chased after Lu Hong, "Big brother! Wait for me!"
Hearing the shouts behind him, Lu Hong turned his head in confusion, only to see Gao Yi rush up and hug his leg, "Big brother!"
"Whoās your big brother?" Lu Hong was speechless.
"You are my big brother!"
"Hey, your brother is Gao Sheng, donāt get it wrong."
"No, no, no, from now on, youāre my brother!"
Lu Hong was somewhat at a loss for words. He helped Gao Yi up and said, "No, how have you decided Iām your big brother? Isnāt it our first meeting today?"
"My master said," Gao Yi explained, "that Iām too honest, so I must recognize a big brother, and this brother must be someone who can keep to his true heart and has a bottom line. You! You are the person my master spoke of, so from now on, youāre my big brother!"
Saying this, Gao Yi knelt down again and shouted, "Big brother above! Please accept a bow from your junior brother!"
Gao Sheng quickly got wind of this news. He hadnāt expected Lu Hong not to kill him, but even worse, his own brother had fallen in, becoming someone elseās junior brother. This nearly drove Gao Sheng mad.
"You... you, you, youācontact the Five Elements World for me, get in touch with the Bow family, I want him dead, I want him dead!"
