Chapter 1266 - Chapter 1266 Chapter 1266 Taking Advantage of Someones

Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: Taking Advantage of Someone’s Distress Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: Taking Advantage of Someone’s Distress A rope suddenly appeared in Shadow Dance’s frantic hands, and then he silently formed it into a loop. While the informant and others remained vigilant, the rope was fiercely thrown, and Shadow Dance’s body, holding the other end of the rope, plummeted down.

The informant was immediately ensnared by the neck and hung in mid-air. When the two were on a parallel plane, Shadow Dance swiftly wrapped the other end of the rope several times around the informant’s neck and then unleashed a frenzy of backstabs.

As blood spurted, the people below finally snapped out of their shock. The method and skill of this assassination were so fancy, it was hard to believe had they not seen it with their own eyes.

What seemed like a simple assassination was in fact fraught with risks at every turn; one wrong move meant being discovered and failing.

The assassins of Starfire Assassin’s Hall weren’t frequently deployed, but their training differed from that of other guilds, as they required collective practice.

Every time, Li Yao would hand a training schedule to Shadow Dance, dividing them into two teams for simulated exercises of assassination and counter-assassination.

Under Li Yao’s plans, Starfire Assassin’s Hall trained in adapting to various terrains and environments.

Adapting to various terrains while maintaining stealth was just the most basic training project; the main focus was creating assassination plans using simple tools and environment to their advantage.

The thieves of Starfire Assassin’s Hall might not claim to be invincible in one-on-one fights with other thieves, but in various environments, Starfire assassins possessed terrifying lethality.

Especially Shadow Dance, Li Yao had shared with him the theories of master thieves from his past life. Of course, many were also Shadow Dance’s own summaries, even if they belonged to a past era.

Shadow Dance could grow into a master assassin on his own, but with theoretical support, Li Yao had greatly accelerated this process.

As the Enchantress became more prominent, many believed she had taken the title of Starfire’s number one assassin, but those within Starfire knew that in reality, they were quite evenly matched.

In a regular arena match, the Enchantress might have a 60 percent win rate, but in various complex environments, Shadow Dance’s chances of winning were 70 percent.

Starfire Assassin’s Hall didn’t have much fame, but in Li Yao’s eyes, the true path for a thief was to hide their skills and name, waiting for the moment when Starfire Assassin’s Hall would truly unsheathe and shine upon the land.

Hanging and then subject to relentless backstabs, the informant was instantly killed.

Thump…

With a loud bursting noise, the hall filled with a thick fog as Shadow Dance threw a Smoke Bomb and then leapt onto another beam.

As the people below lost their sight, Shadow Dance’s hands kept conjuring grenades and bombs, followed by gas and explosive charges.

While the people below were thrown into chaos, scrambling to avoid the ammunition, Shadow Dance kept diving down, pouncing from beneath the beams, and finishing with throat slashes and backstabs, executing a severely injured player.

“Everyone back up against something, don’t give him the chance to assassinate,” a player shouted.

Even the NPC soldiers reacted, huddling against objects in full readiness. If a thief couldn’t attack from behind, their strikes would be greatly weakened, and instant kills would become much more difficult.

Shadow Dance didn’t linger, after killing a person he immediately threw a grenade which blasted the hall doors open.

A shadow ran out, then leapt onto the rooftop, while players outside scrambled up to the roof, but there was no sign of the enemy Shadow Dance.

“Damn it, he’s trying to escape, chase him.” People inside the hall rushed after the shadow in the smoke.

However, what actually ran out was only Shadow Dance’s shadow double; as soon as he blew the door open, he had activated vanish and re-entered stealth, then quietly made his way to a crossbeam.

And outside, sure enough, flares were constantly being thrown, but they had not anticipated that Shadow Dance had never left the hall; it was only after the people outside failed to find him that he re-emerged.

Players from the Troll Tribe watching from the sidelines were almost infuriated to death, this was essentially being toyed with in circles.

Their three scouts performed various stunts, each successfully completing assassinations, and they, like headless flies, couldn’t catch anyone–one Prairie Fire they could still accept, after all, no one feels lucky against Prairie Fire’s skills anymore, but the other two also performing so outrageously, how could anyone live with that?

Especially hateful was knowing that their three scouts had been shot and killed by Li Yao, pitifully, the competitors still unaware of it.

“Jia Jia, I hadn’t expected it,” Little Raindrop said, full of surprise as she watched the scene below, “Your brother alone, and in less than half a year, has actually built up such a powerful guild. Your brother being amazing is one thing, but to think his members are so capable too–this Shadow Dance has risen quietly, and his progress is nearly on par with that beauty’s. In less than ten minutes, your brother has eliminated five intelligence officers, and the other two have killed three, and already they know the location of the two Generals and nine Colonels from the other side. If we had such powerful scouts, we wouldn’t have had such a difficult fight just now.”

Although Li Jia was pleased inside, she modestly replied, “Nah, it’s nothing special really.”

Instant Glory shook her head slightly, “I thought this mode would greatly reduce the impact of individual skill and power, and that this battle would be evenly matched. I never expected it to be so spectacular. Surely, where your brother is, surprises ensue.”

Others also looked on enviously at Li Jia. As an elite of the Qionghua Guild, they were very aware that Li Jia’s gear largely didn’t come from the guild but was given by Li Yao. Whenever there was epic equipment for Magicians, it was posted to her. And not to mention she always had an abundance of Gold Coins, and a variety of rare items that were constantly coming into her possession, truly living lavishly,

but this was simply unattainable envy–who told them her brother was Prairie Fire?

At this moment, the Starfire players watching the battle changed expressions and began using their Hearthstones as if something major had happened.

Soon, those with well-informed sources found out–the Mang Fruit Guild and three other guilds had formed a life-and-death alliance and declared war on Starfire together; and it was said they were using some kind of march-boosting item, approaching the sandbar with alarming speed, aiming to destroy Starfire’s main base there.

“Despicable, taking advantage at one’s weakest.”

Many were disdainful of their actions but couldn’t deny that their timing was indeed excellent.

They launched a guild war while the Starfire Core Group couldn’t be present.

“Damn it, this bunch is just too low, but the calculation is too precise, it’s clear they have their eyes on the Starfire’s main base warehouse, now Starfire has a big situation on their hands.”

“This is what one of our old Chinese sayings is about, ‘Better to offend a gentleman than provoke a petty person.’ This is so damn shameless.”

Starfire, upon receiving the alert, had already entered a state of full alert, with the ships in the harbor also departing one after another, moving to a distant port to temporarily evade…
