Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Exploded Lungs
Everyone was stunned, including the Claw brothers.
They saw Li Yao was always smiling and even encouraged the others to revive the fallen ones, leading them to believe he genuinely wanted to make friends with them.
People from the Bright Five Immortals thought the same way, seeing Li Yao as an affable person and finding it strange that he was so different from the rumors surrounding him.
Who knew Li Yao could switch faces so swiftly, directly killing off the knight who was prepared to turn and leave.
“Prairie Fire, what are you doing?”
With the angry roar from the Bright Five Immortals, all the members began to be on guard, prepared to react at any time.
Li Yao calmly reloaded the crossbow, still smiling, and said, “I am seeing my guests off. You’re all friends, so I naturally want to escort you a little way.”
“Is this how you treat your guests?” asked the pet elf, finding it strange.
Li Yao nodded earnestly and replied, “Of course, especially for our two thief friends. Sending them off once didn’t feel enough to me, so I took the liberty of asking them to return so I could send them off again.”
“Prairie Fire, you’re too bullying.” The faces of the Bright Five Immortals turned ashen as they coldly declared, “Let’s fight.”
The surprise attack failed, and without killing the healer, they didn’t want to fight. But now they were forced to fight by Li Yao in order to save face after the public humiliation. It was even worse than getting killed.
“Fight? You think you’re on our level?” Li Yao shot another arrow, the tank in front dodged, but the mage behind did not. It was killed instantly once again.
Meanwhile, the hydra rushed forward, with snowflakes floating around its body.
“Don’t bother with the Hydra, focus on Prairie Fire.”
The Bright Five Immortals had wishful thinking, but the hydra had already blocked Li Yao. Their range attacks hit the hydra directly.
They had also entered Floating Snow’s range, and their movements were slowed down like turtles crawling.
Claw began to heal the hydra, while the pet Elf began to summon the Fire Spirit.
“Don’t trouble yourselves, they’re as good as dead.” Li Yao told the Ice Serpent, “Enough playing around. Let’s finish them off and get on with our day. It’s been a challenge-free day after all.”
“As you wish, my master,” the Ice Serpent said to the few players trying to escape from the Floating Snow range. “I’m sorry, my master doesn’t want to play with you anymore.”
Ice explosion!
Pop pop pop…
All the players were killed by ice spikes that appeared and pierced their bodies, and then they fell to the ground.
Only the Bright Five Immortals used the Ice Barrier, the invincible mage spell. They were sealed in ice and thus narrowly escaped death.
“Prairie Fire, you’re ruthless,” the Bright Five Immortals stared at their comrades, their eyes filled with a bloody glow.
Li Yao said indifferently, “You tried to steal my boss, and dispatched thieves to assassinate us. It seems your past actions were so proficient, so you must have taken lives before. You’re now blaming me for being ruthless, it’s downright ridiculous.”
“I’ve told you, it was all a misunderstanding,” the Bright Five Immortals barely suppressed their anger. “Now you’ve killed them, and they’ve lost half their levels. You must have vented your anger, so maybe we could have your friend revive ours? Let’s put an end to this matter. Prairie Fire, I acknowledge that you’re formidable, but don’t provoke our Bright Guild too far. As the saying goes, ‘don’t burn your bridges.’ We’re bound to meet again, you know.”
Li Yao played with his crossbow while nodding earnestly, “Hmm, you make a good point.”
The Bright Five Immortals instantly showed a trace of hope. As long as they were revived, the loss wouldn’t be that huge.
The current scenario was a clear illustration of might making right. They could not defeat their opponents and did not want to bear the massive losses of dropping levels and equipment, so they had to compromise for now.
But they believed there would always be a time for a comeback as long as they didn’t fall behind on levels.
“So, brother Prairie Fire agrees? Then let’s trouble this friend to save my…”
Before he could finish, Li Yao interrupted angrily, “You’re insulting me.”
The Bright Five Immortals were puzzled. “Brother, what’s going on? How did I insult you?”
Li Yao replied with rage, “You called yourself my brother. Isn’t that labeling me the same as your scum self? I kindly let you go, and yet you curse me. It’s just like a scumbag. Forget it, let’s end this scum. He annoys me.”
They couldn’t hold back their laughter. What the hell was this? This was not the way to play mind games with people.
“Prairie Fire, your…”
By now, if the Bright Five Immortals still thought Li Yao was joking from the start, they were simply lacking in intelligence. However, that was all they could do.
The Ice Serpent and Dark Serpent, who had been unable to bear it any longer, bit on either side of his body and fiercely exerted force.
Rip…
The body of the Bright Five Immortals was torn and instantly killed.
“Master, you’re too naughty,” said the elated pet elf.
Li Yao, not caring, walked towards the place where the boss fell, saying, “I will naturally treat real friends sincerely. However, for dealing with scum, I like to use the same methods they use, giving them a taste of their own medicine, to make them taste what it feels like to be toyed with.”
The Bright Five Immortals behaved hypocritically, showing one face in public and another in private. Against this scum, they had to make them unable to look after themselves.
Li Yao did succeed. At this point, the Bright Five Immortals had been offline. Whatever they saw, they smashed in their room. Soon the room was a mess.
“Prairie Fire, I swear I will be your lifetime enemy.”
The Bright Five Immortals cried out in madness before managing to suppress their anger. They had always prided themselves on being cunning, but they didn’t expect to be toyed with. How could they ever swallow this humiliation?
However, no matter how furious they were, Li Yao did not care. They were collecting the spoils of the battle.
The three picked up the equipment dropped by the ten people and found they had snagged two pieces of purple and several pieces of blue armor equipment. Then they collected the boss’s loot and left without guarding the corpse, heading straight for the valley where Colin was located.
“That felt so good. This is the first time I realized killing can be so thrilling,” the pet elf was still excited. “Master, you know exactly how to have fun!”
Li Yao smiled indifferently, not putting what just happened to heart, and said, “They were just some minor characters. They were scum, so since I was bored, I naturally wanted to play with them and make life a little less dull.”
Claw was speechless, calling a team of seasoned players minor characters.
You sure are interesting. Those people probably have had their lungs exploded with anger by now. Even though he was mellow, he also felt exhilarated. However, because he was reserved, he didn’t show it.
“Alright, let’s check out the loot we got from the boss. We’ll divvy it up,” said Li Yao. “Though we haven’t checked their attributes, there should be many valuable items.”
“Yes, yes, I want to see what treasures a level 17 boss would drop,” the pet elf instantly got distracted…
