MMORPG: Martial Gamer
Chapter 1669 1669: Immortals Fighting

As the saying goes, "When cheats face cheats, the newer one is the scarier."

If it weren't for Wang Yu being the target, Sanguine Thousand Miles would want to ask him what high-tech he was using.

Indeed, Sanguine Thousand Miles and the others didn't initially believe Wang Yu was exceptionally skilled; instead, they thought he was just another scientist like themselves.

After all, Sanguine Thousand Miles knew what his group was capable of. How could there be anyone stronger than cheats? It was a normal reaction for Sanguine Thousand Miles to think this way.

"Don't let him escape!"

After a moment of distraction, Sanguine Thousand Miles and his group quickly reacted. He waved his hand and issued an attack command towards Wang Yu.

While speaking, Sanguine Thousand Miles pulled back his bow and aimed at Wang Yu.

Sensing the murderous intent from Sanguine Thousand Miles, Wang Yu immediately turned to Mu Zi Xian, who was not far away, and shouted, "Get back to the shop now!"

"Bang!"

Just as he finished speaking, Sanguine Thousand Miles released the bowstring, and a dazzling light shot forth.

Wang Yu slightly turned to the side and dodged the flying arrow, but at that moment, he felt a blinding white light in front of him, and a blinding symbol appeared above his head.

Setting Sun: Active Skill, fires an arrow shining with sunlight that deals 120% physical damage to the target and inflicts a 3-second blind effect. Skill cooldown: 60 seconds, MP cost: 10%.

This was the skill associated with Sanguine Thousand Miles' weapon.

Unexpectedly, this skill's blinding effect could trigger without directly hitting the target.

It made sense; this was akin to a built-in high-intensity flashlight. Whether it hit or not didn't matter; just seeing the light could cause blindness. <<Rebirth>> does follow real-world logic in some aspects.

Three seconds of blindness isn't too long, but in a duel, a second can decide the outcome, especially since Wang Yu was facing not just one, but five cheat-like opponents...

Given Wang Yu's earlier performance of tearing through obstacles, it was no surprise that he managed to dodge Sanguine Thousand Miles' arrow.

At this moment, seeing Wang Yu blinded by Sanguine Thousand Miles' arrow, the front-row Pugilist, Dashing Mountain, immediately leaned forward and charged at Wang Yu.

The back-row assassin, Ghost Dance with Withered Vines, twisted his body and vanished into thin air. The flash of gold was him drawing two katanas from his lower back, following Dashing Mountain's charge towards Wang Yu.

The alley in the southern city wasn't wide, and they were only a few meters away from Wang Yu. In the blink of an eye, Dashing Mountain reached Wang Yu, raising his fist to smash into Wang Yu's head.

"Huh?"

Wang Yu's senses were incredibly sharp. Even from over ten meters away, he could sense when an opponent touched their nose. With Dashing Mountain so close, even though Wang Yu was blinded, he could still tell that Dashing Mountain wasn't wielding a weapon because the wind from his punch and the airflow didn't indicate any weapon. Even an ordinary person could sense this, let alone a martial arts master like Wang Yu.

Clearly, Dashing Mountain had just used a Warrior's charge skill. A Warrior fighting hand-to-hand without a weapon could be quite reckless.

Wang Yu certainly wouldn't go easy on such a reckless opponent. He took half a step back, clenched his left fist, and aimed a punch at the charging Dashing Mountain.

But to his surprise, Dashing Mountain's arm bent slightly, revealing a triangular shield appearing on his forearm.

"Duang!"

With a loud crash, Wang Yu's fist struck heavily against the shield on Dashing Mountain's arm, causing him to feel a massive force and stumble back several steps.

Meanwhile, a spiral of incense appeared above Wang Yu's head.

It was a shield bash!

Skill judgments are inherently higher than those of normal attacks, and control skills have even stronger judgments.

Although Wang Yu's attack power was high, striking the shield bash resulted in the system determining a stun effect.

There was no way around it; in this world, the system's arrangements were paramount, and Wang Yu lost due to lack of gaming experience.

Feeling himself being controlled, Wang Yu was somewhat surprised.

This Dashing Mountain not only wielded a shield as a weapon, but he also had an arm shield.

An arm shield is a type of shield, but it's not favored by Guardians in the game.

Because Guardians are tasked with protecting other players, they naturally prefer heavier and larger shields. Even Guardians will intentionally bulk up their bodies to better absorb damage.

In contrast, while an arm shield is highly mobile, its defensive power and area are significantly inferior to tower shields. Guardians are usually synonymous with stability and resilience, so bouncing around with an arm shield like a Pugilist is quite unprincipled.

For this reason, there are very few players who use arm shields in <<Rebirth>>, and their prices are very low, mostly relegated to collection or being sold in shops.

Dashing Mountain was indeed non-mainstream, using something more comical than practical.

Of course, what Wang Yu didn't know was that this intelligent chip also required attribute synergy; if the mind reacted quickly but the body couldn't keep up, it would be pointless.

For the bulky Guardian to adapt to the intelligent chip's effectiveness, they would need to invest in agility with the arm shield to better utilize the chip's capabilities.

Not only Dashing Mountain, but others too, like the Warrior Radiant Shiner, also invested in agility and chose highly mobile dual katanas.

Just as Wang Yu was stunned, Radiant Shiner rushed to Wang Yu's front, stepped forward with his right foot, and with his right hand, he sharply snatched the katana and executed an Ascending Dragon Slash against Wang Yu.

The Ascending Dragon Slash is the most commonly used initiation move for Warrior classes, often followed by the Breaker Army Ascending Dragon Slash, then the Shattering Mountain and Cracking Earth Slash, and finally finishing with the Tornado Slash. This skill combo could take down half the health of a target, even if they were a Guardian.

In normal circumstances, a target wouldn't easily be subjected to such consecutive attacks from a Warrior. But now, Wang Yu was blind and stunned, with no ability to retaliate, so Radiant Shiner would naturally unleash his most damaging combo.

Just as it seemed Wang Yu was about to be lifted by Radiant Shiner, suddenly, Wang Yu used his [Inner Energy Surge], and a blue light enveloped him, causing the stun symbol above his head to instantly dissipate.

With the stun control lifted, Wang Yu's left hand transformed into a tiger claw and pressed down, empty-handed, to grab the katana in Radiant Shiner' right hand.

[Savage Maul] is a highly judgmental grabbing skill, and with [Inner Energy Surge], the skill's judgment multiplied. Radiant Shiner was caught off guard, and his long knife was snatched right from his hand by Wang Yu.
