Chapter 32: High Reward

Most of the players that had been slashed by the Moonlight Air Blade only had 300 to 400 HP left, while a few other unlucky players received a free chance to return to the city.

The group of players hit Liu Ming, but they only ended up making him lose a tiny amount of HP.

The fact that Liu Ming could kill and maim plenty of players with just one Skill made Invincible and the others feel exactly the same as smaller guilds’ players—who had been oppressed by them previously.

This result was intolerable to Invincible and the others.

However, the fact that Liu Ming had killed World Battle Fanatic once this morning made him feel like he was dreaming.

World Battle Fanatic dared to get his men to continue creating trouble for Liu Ming because Liu Ming was not invincible, even though he had exaggeratedly impressive Stats. However, World Battle Fanatic now discovered that Liu Ming had advanced to Level 17 in less than ten hours. His Stats had also become much higher than before.

World Battle Fanatic—who had always been haughty and arrogant—finally began to feel regretful now. He thought, Have I offended an existence that I shouldn’t have!?

However, there was no cure for regret in this world. When World Battle Fanatic wandered around the battlefield’s periphery, the battle between Liu Ming and Invincible’s group had already become extremely intense.

But it couldn’t really be considered a battle. It was more like a massacre of World Guild’s players that Liu Ming was in charge of.

The damage caused by each of the attacks from World Guild’s elite members were basically single-digit, while every single one of Liu Ming’s attacks could decrease a player’s HP by half at least.

This was because Liu Ming did not activate Holy Blessing. Otherwise, each of his normal attacks would make certain players lose more than half of their Health Points.

With such a huge strength difference, the outcome of Invincible and the others had already been set in stone.

Soon, excluding Invincible, the remaining players had also been sent back to the Revival Square because of Liu Ming.

At this moment, a look of menace was on Invincible’s face.

The losses incurred by World Guild’s elites during the battle were secondary. Their reputation would probably be tarnished if others were to find out that ten-odd elite players of World Guild had surrounded a single person, only to get killed by the latter.

Ordinary players did not care if the player, whom World Guild’s players attacked, was the game’s current best player.

In fact, when World Battle Fanatic told Invincible about how strong and competent Liu Ming was, Invincible even thought that World Battle Fanatic was just making excuses for his incompetence at first. However, it was too late to say anything now.

Finally, Invincible said, “Floating Cloud, we won’t drop this matter just like that.”

Shortly after, Liu Ming sent Invincible back to the revival point.

…

At the Revival Square, Invincible had just been resurrected when his underlings began surrounding him and complaining to him with tears in their eyes.

“Boss Invincible, I was in such a miserable state this time. Not only did I drop my weapon, but my shoes have also been destroyed.”

“Captain, that Floating Cloud must have some equipment-destroying Skill. My pants have been shredded too.”

“Captain, I have it the worst. My belt and shoes have been shattered.”

…

Those players were clearly the victims of Liu Ming’s destructive Knight Sword.

After hearing a few players’ complaints, Invincible instantly grew flustered as he hurriedly opened his equipment panel. However, the four spots in his equipment panel that had been emptied in one go told Invincible that he was the unlucky one today.

All of a sudden, Invincible lost his temper and began raging. “Floating Cloud, I’ll quit playing if I can’t kill you within three days!”

Invincible’s holler was instantly heard by the other players around him. Hence, the matter soon spread to the regional channel of all players.

[Wang Xiao’er (Regional): It seems that Invincible, the captain of World Guild’s team, was killed by Big Shot Floating Cloud just now. He’s now cursing in the Revival Square.]

[Attack of The Velociraptor (Regional): Invincible is really loud. Everyone on the street can hear him clearly.]

[Salted Fish Overturns (Regional): Are you serious?]

[Dragon Knight Wannabe (Regional): Of course! Invincible said that he would quit the game if he can’t kill Big Shot Floating Cloud once within three days.]

[Horse Shop Resident Bigmouth Yuan: Just take his words with a grain of salt. You’d be a fool if you really believe him.]

…

Soon, the piece of news was seen by the major guilds’ players, who had started resting. The news instantly spread around the national channel.

Most importantly, all the guilds found about the matter’s cause and effect through their guild’s information channels.

[Qingfeng Crescent (National): Invincible and dozens of his underlings tried to kill a player, only to be killed by the other party. World Guild is really getting worse.]

[Qingfeng Phantom (National): Yeah, I’ve said long ago that you people from World Guild should step back and give way to others.]

[Qingfeng Phantom (National): Due to your existence, the 12 major guilds’ average level has been pulled down all these years.]

…

Qingfeng Pavilion and World Guild were rivals. Now that World Guild had been defeated, the people from Qingfeng Pavilion would naturally not miss this opportunity to mock and criticize them.

After seeing Qingfeng Crescent and the rest mock them and World Guild continuously in the national channel, Invincible’s face looked even more ferocious. However, Invincible could not say anything to retort.

After all, no matter how competent Liu Ming was, Invincible had indeed taken the initiative to provoke him with dozens of his underlings. In the end, they were sent back to the revival point by Liu Ming. However, it was not like Invincible to take it lying down.

Hence, Invincible simply sent some information to the national channel.

[Invincible (National): I will give 100,000 yuan to anyone who can kill Floating Cloud once. Anyone who can make Floating Cloud return to Level 1 will get three million yuan.]

[Invincible (National): Floating Cloud, I know you can see this. Like I said before, solo players like you only deserve to live in the major guilds’ shadows. Just wait to be killed and quit the game.]

[Flying Tiger King (National): Invincible, who are you to threaten Big Shot Floating Cloud? Big Shot Qingfeng Phantom is right; World Guild should move aside.]

[Invincible (National): Flying Tiger King, you’re courting death!]

…

Originally, quite a few players were somewhat tempted by the high reward offered by Invincible. However, Flying Tiger King’s sudden interjection changed the situation instantly.

After all, the Ferocious Tigers Guild, which Flying Tiger King belonged to, was just a second-tier guild that had just been established.

Although Ferocious Tigers Guild had been developing well, they were definitely worlds apart from a top-tier guild like World Guild.

Now that Flying Tiger King actually dared to provoke Invincible openly, didn’t that mean that World Guild had begun to decline like Qingfeng Phantom had implied?

That thought lingered in the minds of many.
