Chapter 9 Cunning (1 more)

It must be Diao Deyi!I don’t care, I’ll make a move!

Fang Yu felt smug in his heart.

With his effort, he turned the tide and reversed a desperate situation.

He had excited the crowd so much, they practically wanted to lift him into the heavens!

Being able to lead them from a certain-death situation, the crowd felt an increased sense of trust in Fang Yu no matter what.

Li Qianxuan’s palms even started sweating.

He bet correctly.

He couldn’t quite believe it now – the decapitated headless corpse before him was actually a trustworthy person.

But in their desperate situation, this person indeed found them a way out.

"ROAR!!"

The demon let out an angry roar, causing everyone’s hail of arrows to miss.

But the people didn’t know yet, continuing to shoot wildly.

"There! The demon is moving! Over there! Follow my command!!"

Fang Yu hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs.

With the previous success, everyone also followed Fang Yu’s commands without hesitation.

He picked up a longsword from the ground, and like a commander, wherever he pointed with his sword, the rain of arrows from the people behind him were launched.

But strangely, after one or two volleys of arrows, no blood seemed to splatter in the air at a distance.

"Diao Deyi?"

The crowd was puzzled, weren’t you able to see the demon? How come you still missed two arrow volleys in a row with your commands?

"...Time lag."

Li Qianxuan keenly caught onto the issue, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Sweat also broke out on Fang Yu’s forehead, just as Li Qianxuan said, there was a timing delay between his command and the launch of the arrow volley by the crowd.

The position his longsword pointed to was where the demon had been just a second before; by the time his sword pointed there, the demon had already moved, and the arrows only covered that area afterward, naturally they were too late.

Lead time! I need to calculate the right amount of lead time to command this group’s arrow volley.

And also the breadth, the arrow volleys should spread out a bit to increase the coverage area.

With new understanding, Fang Yu clasped his head, shifted his thinking, and immediately shouted.

"Over there! Spread your attacks horizontally to broaden the coverage area of the arrow rain!"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—

The arrow rain covered the area, and immediately a few sprays of blood burst forth.

It must be said, the people from Foolish Underworld really dealt significant damage.

Each arrow could burst out a double-digit damage; no wonder the Hidden Light Demon avoided a direct confrontation, opting instead for invisible sneak attacks.

If it really came to a head-to-head fight, this creature might not necessarily be able to beat this squad.

"Hit!"

"Good job, Diao Deyi!"

"Keep at it! Attack it while it’s down!"

The crowd cheered victoriously, emotions running high.

Although they couldn’t see the health bar, hitting an invisible enemy repeatedly was also a kind of encouragement.

As Fang Yu continued commanding the people’s arrow rain on the Hidden Light Demon, he calculated silently in his mind.

When the Hidden Light Demon still wore Li Baigu’s human skin, decapitating it took away 500 health, and cutting off both arms took away 200 health; so when it transformed into a demon, its total health was just under 300.

After several exchanges, they had only inflicted this much damage; it was completely relying on its invisibility skills to handle the fight, as it couldn’t handle a direct battle.

Of course, if it were in its prime state with 1000/1000 health, it might really have been able to take down this squad head-on.

However, in the vast Tianyuan Town, there must be more teams than just Li Qianxuan’s group. If it caused trouble and got entangled in fights, the demon wouldn’t be able to escape.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—

The arrow rain covered again, bringing out a few more patches of blood.

The damage values are inconsistent, with the number 21 being somewhat conspicuous. Fang Yu raised his head high and slightly adjusted the angle with his hand, looking back to see that it was a shot from one of Li Qianxuan’s followers with 70 health.

This guy’s strength seems to be closest to Li Qianxuan’s. Too bad out of the three followers with 60 and 70 health, one was dead, leaving only two; otherwise, their chances of winning would be even greater.

Seemingly noticing the gaze from the person who raised his head high, he was taken aback, then nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Must flatter him! This guy’s skills need some flattering! Seeing his moves, if he could teach me the Bow Technique, I could transform into a high-end professional player, a step ahead of other players, then distribute business cards and make a fortune!

Turning it into a full-service job from gameplay training!

However, everything has to wait until the current crisis is over.

Li Qianxuan next to him hesitated to make a move, under Fang Yu’s instruction.

Because... the demon is getting close!

Close combat is the most troublesome!

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yu shouted.

"The demon is approaching quickly, we must cooperate seamlessly without any hesitation! Otherwise, everyone here will die! If I shout to draw swords, it means the demon is about to get close; everyone follow my command and attack the demon’s position!"

Saying so, Fang Yu took a step back, quietly retreating behind Li Qianxuan.

This made Li Qianxuan startled.

Fang Yu quickly pleaded: "Lord Li, you must protect me."

Exactly, keeping Li Qianxuan on standby was to ensure his own protection.

Fang Yu knew, his eyes, would decide the outcome of this battle, so he must survive, otherwise, it would be a total loss!

However, it wasn’t that easy for the demon to get close.

Under Fang Yu’s command, the barrage of arrows pursued the demon relentlessly like precision-guided missiles.

A moment of laxity, and it took two or three arrows to the body.

The demon may not know its own health, but it was aware of its increasingly severe injuries, understanding it couldn’t keep suffering damage from the arrow barrage.

Yet under Fang Yu’s relentless command, it had no choice but to flee like a street rat.

It had never faced such humiliation before!

It was a demon! A man-eating demon! And yet it was being chased down!

However, as the Hidden Light Demon zigzagged, even attempting an S-shaped diving maneuver, Fang Yu still predicted its movement path and hit it with an arrow.

What the heck?!

The Hidden Light Demon was furious.

Fang Yu’s longsword seemed to have an external hack that locked onto the void, directly pointing at its location—every change, speed, and position was clearly marked by Fang Yu, as if he was using a wallhack.

This makes no sense! Are you cheating?!

Immediately, disregarding everything, it burst forth in speed, charging directly toward Fang Yu.

This sudden burst of speed made Fang Yu’s commands fall short.

Seeing the large health bar of the demon charging straight at him, it almost reached him in the blink of an eye, Fang Yu screamed in fright.

"Right in front of me! Draw swords!!"

Shsshh shsshh shsshh—

Everyone’s longswords furiously stabbed towards the direction Fang Yu was facing, Li Qianxuan included.

And in this moment, unnoticed by anyone, the corners of the demon’s mouth curled up.

Just as it was about to charge into Fang Yu, it suddenly changed direction!

Like a spinning top, it sidestepped the crowd’s assault, its sharp claws slashed directly across the bodies on the left side.
