Under the moonlit night, the appearance of Zhao Hu and One Leaf Floating Cloud on the rooftop made the entire street fall into silence.
"Two advanced apprentices?"
Noko looked at Zhao Hu and One Leaf Floating Cloud chatting leisurely, his face turning somewhat grim.
Even an extreme apprentice like Luo Wushang required him and his nephew Grantor to suppress. As for the other Great Ape Gang members present, they couldn’t help at all.
Now, two advanced apprentices from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall joined; if these two joined forces to hold off one of them, the battle situation would change significantly.
"Can you two help me hold off that quasi-martial artist? I’ll quickly take down the one wearing the battle armor," Luo Wushang said straightforwardly, "At that time, we’ll split the mecha three ways!"
"Split three ways?" One Leaf Floating Cloud glanced at the A6 Level battle armor, his eager gaze so intense even Grantor could feel a chill, "No problem."
For such a black technology marvel as the A6 Level battle armor, it’s something that only exists in the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s smart watch information, and One Leaf Floating Cloud even thought it’s something players would never get their hands on.
But unexpectedly, this timed raid mission offered such a big surprise.
Wearing a tightly sealed steel armor like that would be explosively cool!
"Alright." Zhao Hu nodded as well, not saying much, but his gaze mainly focused on Grantor, clearly also tempted by the A6 Level battle armor.
"Hahaha!" Noko looked at Zhao Hu and One Leaf Floating Cloud talking so boldly without any scruples, his initially furious expression turning into a laugh, "I’ve been roaming the wilds as a deputy gang leader for so many years, and I’ve never met such arrogant brats as you. Today, just because of your arrogance, I won’t kill you directly; I’ll cripple you and hang you on the gatepost to show all the outsiders!"
After speaking, Noko charged at Zhao Hu and One Leaf Floating Cloud, intending to swiftly eliminate these two naive advanced apprentices from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and then cooperate with Grantor to take down Luo Wushang.
"A B2 Level weapon! I didn’t even notice you’re quite wealthy!" One Leaf Floating Cloud looked at the Noko charging with a long halberd, his eyes lighting up, hurriedly saying to Zhao Hu next to him, "Bro, how about leaving him to me? I’ll give you fifty thousand points afterward."
Zhao Hu shook his head and directly said, "Three hundred thousand points, not one less."
"Damn, bro, that’s too steep; that’s three hundred thousand points!" One Leaf Floating Cloud, while drawing the B2 Level standard long spear from his back, met Noko’s long halberd, clearly agreeing to Zhao Hu’s terms.
The first move of the Liaoyuan Spear Technique, Starfire!
Bang!
The long spear and long halberd collided, and the terrifying impact instantly shattered the entire house beneath their feet, both sides flew back several meters, their weapons trembling violently.
"You!"
Upon landing, Noko gazed at One Leaf Floating Cloud in utter astonishment, his shock beyond words.
As the deputy gang leader of the Great Ape Gang, wherever Noko went, even in the suburbs, those rich boys would show him respect.
Especially after he quietly broke through to become a quasi-martial artist, wielding a custom B2 Level long halberd and mastering a martial artist-level martial arts technique, hardly anyone in the wild could claim to surpass him.
Yet, this advanced apprentice could match him move for move in a martial arts technique, not letting him gain any advantage, it was truly incredible.
"Need any help?" Zhao Hu looked at One Leaf Floating Cloud, smiling as he said, "If you want my help, it’ll only cost you five hundred thousand points, and that long halberd is yours."
"No! I can handle it myself." One Leaf Floating Cloud said, quite speechless, "I can’t afford a two hundred thousand points service fee."
"In that case, I’ll go help over there then." Zhao Hu wasn’t surprised and immediately leaped to assist Luo Wushang.
If Noko’s weapon were gauntlets, Zhao Hu would spend five hundred thousand points to take him down alone, but since the long halberd wasn’t his preferred weapon, and no high-ranking members in his guild used them, it was left to One Leaf Floating Cloud.
As Zhao Hu left, Noko did not stop him, merely watching quietly as he departed.
"You old fogey are actually quite smart, choosing to face me one on one." One Leaf Floating Cloud looked at the unmoving Noko, clearly surprised.
"What exactly is the purpose of your Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall attacking our Great Ape Gang?" Noko was unfazed by One Leaf Floating Cloud’s amateur taunts, his previously enraged mind suddenly calming, he asked in Human Race language, "This is our Great Ape Gang’s headquarters, full of numerous experts. I’ve already sent out notifications; a large number of experts will be here soon. You cannot escape. Now, tell me your purpose, and maybe I’ll spare your life." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ noveⅼfire.net
Regarding the sudden attack on the headquarters by the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, Noko was utterly at a loss, or rather unclear about what the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was thinking.
He had only just agreed to the Feather Race’s proposal to attack Red Moon Mountain, yet the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall attacked immediately. He didn’t believe the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could get information so quickly.
And even if the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall knew the Great Ape Gang was about to attack Red Moon Mountain, such a significant matter, in the absence of full confirmation, how could they dare to launch an attack on one of the top twenty major factions in the wild.
The Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall must have an important reason unbeknownst to him, such as preparing to ally with another top-ranked faction in the wild to deal with the Great Ape Gang. After all, the Great Ape Gang had no shortage of enemies.
"Purpose?" Yiyi looked confused for a moment but then seemed to realize something. He stood proudly, waving his long spear with unparalleled grace, then sighed softly with a hint of loneliness, "Ah, the loneliness of invincibility, do you understand?"
"The loneliness of invincibility?" Noko looked at Yiyi in astonishment and couldn’t recover for a long time. Although he didn’t understand Yiyi’s thinking, he was deeply shocked.
"That’s right! My purpose today is simple, just to find a master who can kill me. Unfortunately, I haven’t found one yet." Yiyi nodded, sighing with regret.
"Fine, since you don’t want to tell me, you can just die." Noko looked at the invincible and lonely Yiyi, realizing Yiyi was not joking, just a lunatic.
Instantly, Noko didn’t hold back, thrusting his long halberd fiercely towards Yiyi.
Martial Artist Level technique, Blood Red!
This power burst was 2.5 times stronger, with the attack speed doubling. It’s a Martial Artist Level technique, though it consumes a lot of qi and blood. But as a prospective martial artist, his qi and blood are much more abundant than that of an advanced apprentice. If the fight drags on, Yiyi will surely die.
"Good timing!"
Yiyi didn’t show weakness either; he met it head-on with three times the power, using the first technique of the Liaoyuan Spear Technique, Starfire.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Time and again, both sides continuously clashed using Martial Artist Level techniques. After over thirty exchanges, neither side could defeat the other.
However, Yiyi’s face turned somewhat pale, as if he had lost too much blood, while Noko’s face looked much better, though less rosy than before.
Meanwhile, Luo Wushang and Zhao Hu were in a deadlock with the constantly defensive Glenta. Even though Luo Wushang’s sword qi had demolished over a dozen houses, without power, it couldn’t be blocked. But wearing A6 level battle armor, Glenta could evade Luo Wushang’s sword qi thanks to the nerve and combat assistance provided by the battle armor.
Faced with Zhao Hu’s Thunder Light Palm, Glenta could easily deflect it, never giving the two any chance.
Until the fight had lasted for two minutes, several high-ranking prospective martial artists from the Great Ape Gang arrived with over a hundred experts, bringing smiles to the faces of Noko and Glenta.
"You’re doomed!" Noko looked at the three approaching prospective martial artists and then shouted, "Hurry up and help me take this guy down."
However, as Noko shouted, the smart watches on Yiyi and his two companions suddenly sounded a beeping warning.
"Only five minutes left?" Luo Wushang glanced at the preset time before they arrived and said rather helplessly, "Elder Zhao, let’s get ready to retreat."
"Alright." Zhao Hu nodded without hesitation.
"Damn it! Sister Wu, come and help me, and I’ll give you half a million points afterward!" Yiyi, seeing the time, suddenly grew anxious.
"What’s going on with them? Knowing reinforcements have arrived, are they planning to retreat?" Glenta, seeing Luo Wushang pulling away, shouted, "All Great Ape Gang members, follow orders, block them at all costs! Don’t let them escape!"
Suddenly, everyone present from the Great Ape Gang was filled with fighting spirit, rushing to attack the three of them.
"You don’t get to decide that."
Luo Wushang glanced at Glenta who was moving toward him, took an attacking stance, and thrust his B2 level longsword crazily at Glenta.
Martial Artist Level technique, Chaos Stars!
This move involved compressing his power into Starlight; according to Mentor No. 1, it reached 92% of the fifth rank, very close to the sixth rank. However, this move expends a lot of power, and he didn’t dare to use it carelessly unless critical.
A sudden twelve sword qi stabs shot towards Glenta like lasers. Glenta hurriedly dodged, but the twelve sword qi was too sudden. Even with armor assistance, Glenta was still hit on the shoulder and arm by two sword qi, rendering one arm useless.
Before Glenta could scream in pain, suddenly an exclamation and unwilling scream came from behind.
Noko, just ten meters away, was hit in the thigh by a sword qi. Immediately afterward, Yiyi used his ultimate move, Spiral Demon Spear Kill.
A 3.3 times power burst directly shredded the thigh-injured Noko, who didn’t have time to use Blood Red to defend.
"Go!"
Luo Wushang saw Yiyi take the long halberd and turned to leave at once, not stopping at all.
"Good!"
Yiyi grabbed the long halberd and also stepped out with the second layer of Leopard Shadow Step. Amidst the crowd’s shock, he and Luo Wushang disappeared into the night.
