Chapter 285: Chapter 2 Episode 5: Instant Battle (Additional update for 800 monthly tickets)
Another beautiful woman thief with a scar on her face licked her red lips and said in a playful tone, “Well, you guys are being too barbaric. This is just a lost little lamb, how about you give it to me?”
“Blade, you always want to have a taste of the young ones, don’t you? But look at this youngster. Just by looking at him you can tell he doesn’t have the stamina to withstand your torment. Let me do the job.” Said the stealthy thief with a villainous grin.
“No need to test him. From one look at you, I can tell that you’re useless. This elf brother here is more appealing.” The human woman thief beckoned towards Li Yao and said: “Hey there, how about you come with me later? I promise you an unforgettable time.”
Li Yao raised an eyebrow and said: “Sister, while your figure isn’t bad and you emit quite a sexy aura, with your wild, seductive eyes stimulating a man’s desire to conquer, it’s a shame that you’re a bit too dark for me and your skin isn’t tender enough. You’re just not my type, so I must apologize.”
“Little lamb, I’ve set my sights on you for today. Watch as I carry you to my bedroom.” The woman thief entered stealth mode and declared, “No one better try to take him from me.”
The rest of the thieves just watched with a smile, none of them trying to interfere. They casually went back to their business.
Li Yao slightly knitted his brows. This female thief was at level forty and had a silver-tier standing. However, he quickly realized that she didn’t intend to kill him, nor would she use her full power against him.
She was surely thinking about toying with him, like a cat playing with a mouse, which provided him an opportunity to show off his abilities. In a place like this, having money was not enough, they also had to respect his strength.
“Little lamb, are you out of your mind? Blade is already behind you.” The stealthy thief who spoke before had already slipped back to his seat to watch the show.
Ding…
The beautiful thief’s dagger clashed with Li Yao’s intimidating Magic Weapon, and was blocked.
In the instant that Li Yao successfully blocked her, he cancelled his intimidation and abruptly turned around, his short spear already thrusting out.
Thud…
The beautiful thief’s body shattered. Li Yao knew it was just a shadow image.
“Hehe, speedy reaction, little brother. Let’s go again.”
Whoosh…
A beam of dazzling light flashed across, and before she disappeared, her body surged towards Li Yao again.
Arcane Torrent!
No thief figure appeared around Li Yao.
“Sure enough, it’s a little lamb, and you’ve been fooled by Blade’s Arcane Torrent. You’re done for.” The thieves in the room burst into laughter.
Shadow Step, Backstab!
Ding, in the instant when Li Yao was taken aback, the female thief already appeared behind him, using backstab.
However, her backstab did not pierce into Li Yao’s neck and knock him out as it usually would. Instead, it caused another sound of blockage.
This was due to Li Yao’s shoulder special effect, which blocked the first fatal attack.
Without Intimidation, without Arcane Torrent, the beautiful thief thought that Li Yao was like a lamb waiting slaughter. After two rounds of probing, she also found out that although Li Yao reacted quickly, he posed no threat to her. She thought that she was close to grabbing Li Yao. Her plan was to successfully backstab Li Yao then tie him up.
However, just when she thought victory was hers, something unexpected happened, she had no idea that Li Yao’s neck would be that hard, rendering even her backstab useless. Her brain froze for a moment before realizing that Li Yao must have had some special item.
But this momentary hesitation was more than enough for Li Yao who had already turned around lightning fast, his body radiating a red glow. Li Yao has activated the Power of the Berserker.
Gouge!
“Get stunned!”
Shock flashed in the beautiful thief’s eyes, but her gaze was still sharply cold. She reversed the grip on her dagger, preparing to gouge Li Yao’s forehead.
Gouge is also one of the main control skills of thieves, although it does not control for as long as backstab, for a master like her, it was more than enough.
Li Yao’s eyes flashed, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he leaned back while violently kicking out with his right foot.
Whack…
Li Yao’s kick landed on the joint of the beautiful thief’s arm, sending a numbing sensation followed by intense pain. The dagger slipped out of her hand, and without realizing it, she knelt in front of Li Yao.
Click…
A massive sniper rifle appeared in Li Yao’s hand, its barrel pointed straight at the thief’s forehead.
The laughter of the other thieves who had been making fun of Li Yao abruptly came to a halt, as if they were roosters being strangled mid-crow. It was as if the scene had been frozen. All of them stared dumbly at what was unfolding. The level 40 silver-tier thief, who had been drinking earlier, had the drink pouring down his clothes, but he seemed as if he didn’t notice.
“Sweetie, what are you doing? Are you already on your knees before me?” Li Yao nudged her delicate chin up with the gun barrel and said with an enigmatic smile.
After two seconds, the woman thief was able to speak again. She remained kneeling in front of Li Yao, looking up at him, and said seductively: “Young man, you have real skills. It makes me like you even more. So, you want me to kneel, huh? As long as you’re strong enough, I’ll do anything you say. But do you really think you’ve won now?”
The woman thief indeed had enough confidence. After all, she was at level forty and had a silver-tier standing. Li Yao was nothing more than an elite in his teens. Even if she got shot, it wouldn’t be a big deal for her.
“Blade, you’ve lost indeed. That’s enough. Kid, you’ve got skills and have passed the test.” A middle-aged thief suddenly spoke out.
Li Yao grinned and put away the sniper rifle, saying: “I have to say, it does give me a sense of achievement when a powerful and attractive woman kneels at my feet.”
“Boss?” The beautiful woman thief seemed unsatisfied.
“All right, you. Get up and take a look around.” The beautiful thief, looking puzzled, stood up only to be frozen by an ice trap.
Two seconds later, she broke free of the trap, only to have a metal snake bind her feet. It took her another two seconds to break free from the Mechanical Snake.
“Even if he controlled me for just a few seconds, he wouldn’t be able to kill…”
Her words were abruptly cut off. Two massive heads, one black and one blue, blocked the light above her head. Only when she looked back did she realize in horror that she was standing under a colossal creature. This two-headed creature occupied a large portion of the hall.
“Elite, no, this aura… Intermediate Elite Hydras… this is impossible…” The beautiful woman thief’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
“You actually lost to a teenager, Blade. You won’t be getting any sleep tonight. You’re going to train at maximum intensity all night. Off you go.” Directed the middle-aged man.
“Yes.” The beautiful thief shot Li Yao a deep look before turning and leaving.
And Li Yao heaved a sigh of relief. The previous battle had been swift but it had taxed him greatly. He was mentally exhausted, feeling a sense of slight collapse. His reactions, agility, skills and so on were all inferior to that of the woman, and he had to look for a tiny chance to counterattack.
“Kid, tell me, why are you here?” The middle-aged thief asked seriously.
After collecting his thoughts, Li Yao said: “I came here, of course, to buy information.”
“Hm, it seems like you’ve come to the right place then.” The middle-aged thief revealed a smile.
