One Versus Five

Bang! The air exploded inexplicably. Amidst the flames, a player revealed his true form in the air with fear in his eyes.

"-135" (Dizzy for two seconds)

Just as Xiao Liang was about to ask Lu Yang what he was doing, he saw a player behind him and subconsciously shouted, "It's a thief."

The thief was stunned by Lu Yang's attack and asked in horror, "How did you know I was behind you?"

Lu Yang sneered and said, "Because your level is too low. I'm already level 4. You are just a nobody at level 1. How can I not see you?"

"What?" The thief suddenly felt like a fool. He had thought that Lu Yang had not noticed him, but it turned out that Lu Yang had been playing with him like a monkey. In his embarrassment, the thief said angrily, "Don't think that you're very powerful just because your level is high. I'm not here to kill you. I'm just here to follow you."

Lu Yang asked, "Speak, who asked you to come?"

The thief said arrogantly, "My boss, Black Blood. How dare you offend him? He has already sent his elites. I'll see how you die later."

"I don't know how I'll die, but I know how you'll die." A Fireball lit up in Lu Yang's hand and flew toward the thief.

The thief only had 160 HP. He only had 25 HP left after being hit by Flame Impact. Facing a mage and a warrior, he could not dodge at all, so he did not resist and let Lu Yang send him back to the city effortlessly.

System Notification: [You killed someone!]

Xiao Liang asked anxiously, "Boss, what should we do now?"

Xiao Liang had already experienced Black Blood's fame. The level 1 monster area on the Flower Whisper Plains was reserved for Black Blood's subordinates to level up.

Lu Yang said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. Hide somewhere and see how I kill them."

"Boss, you want to fight against the people sent by Black Blood alone?" Xiao Liang asked in disbelief.

Lu Yang said, "It's not a confrontation. I'm going to slaughter them."

At the current level, the players were generally not very strong. They were still newbies and had only entered the game for two days. Even the elite equipment of Black Blood's subordinates could not be better than Lu Yang's. Moreover, Lu Yang had more than ten years of skills than them and knew the simplified incantation of fire spells.

...

On the other side, about 500 yards away from Lu Yang, five figures quickly approached from afar.

The warrior in the lead was dressed in black armor. He held a sword in his right hand and a green bead in his left. Beside him was a hunter in leather armor. At this moment, he was using Swift Halo to increase the movement speed of everyone by 10%. The other three people on the team were a mage, priest, and thief.

"Everyone, be careful. The person that was in charge of keeping watch was discovered and killed by him. That person has some strength," the Warrior Golden Eagle said.

"What?" The thief in the team, Xun Feng, cursed, "Boss asked us to kill this person. Don't let him f*cking escape."

As he spoke, Xun Feng saw Lu Yang standing in the grassland in the distance. His face immediately revealed a ferocious expression as he shouted, "That person is in front. We've caught up to him."

Initially, Warrior Golden Eagle was worried that they would be scolded by their boss if that person ran away. He did not expect them to catch up.

"Attack together. Don't let him escape," Warrior Golden Eagle said excitedly.

"Don't worry, he definitely won't be able to escape." The thief, Xun Feng, suddenly activated his acceleration skill known as Sprint. Xun Feng, whose movement speed had increased by 30%, charged toward Lu Yang.

The priest in the party frowned and said, "Be careful. Your name is red. I can't heal you if you're too far away."

"Do I look like I need more HP to kill him? Watch how I torture him." The thief, Xun Feng, was very confident in his skills. In the entire Everjoy Paradise, his thief skills were number one.

In fact, the five people who came this time were all absolute elites under Black Blood. In a one-on-one fight, every one of them was an expert in the guild.

"Keep him busy, we'll be there soon," said the mage in the same team.

"Then you guys have to be fast." As he spoke, Xun Feng had already run 30 yards away from Lu Yang. He pulled out an arrow from his back and jumped into the air to shoot at Lu Yang.

"Let's see where you can run to," Xun Feng said with a sneer.

"You're courting death." A huge ball of fire that was twice as bright as Fireball suddenly appeared in Lu Yang's hand. Lu Yang shot it at Xun Feng.

Flame Blast

Type: Fire Spellcasting

Consumption: 30 MP

Casting time: 5 seconds

Distance: 35 yards

Description: Fires a blazing fireball at the target, dealing 36-42 fire damage with an additional knockback effect.

Xun Feng was currently in mid-air. He never expected Lu Yang to suddenly throw out a Flame Blast at this moment.

Bang!

"-144"

Xun Feng was beaten to death. A level 2 thief with full agility only had 100 HP. Before he died, he did not understand how Lu Yang could instantly cast a Flame Blast that required 5 seconds to cast.

Little did he know that Lu Yang, who had unlocked the free mode, knew how to simplify spells. Flame Blast was the most important damage output skill for fire mages in the future. It had long been studied by a group of fire mages, and the casting time was only 0.7 seconds, so Lu Yang could cast it instantly.

Warrior Golden Eagle, the mage, and the others who followed closely behind were all stunned by Lu Yang's magic damage.

"He actually insta-killed Xun Feng. What's his magic damage anyway?" the mage asked.

"I don't know, and I feel like he didn't count down when he used Flame Blast," said the hunter.

"Could it be that he has the skill, Undistracted?" the priest asked.

With Undistracted, one could instantly cast spells, but the cooldown time was 2 minutes.

Warrior Golden Eagle said, "Forget it. Insta-kill him first. Everyone, follow me and pay attention to the formation."

"Mm." The mage and the others stopped looking down on him. All of them had solemn expressions.

When the four of them were 50 yards away from Lu Yang, the hunter and mage ran sideways from behind the warrior. The priest's position remained the same, and the four of them fanned out to surround Lu Yang.

"I'll go first." When Warrior Golden Eagle was 30 yards away, he suddenly used Charge on Lu Yang.

Charge was the warrior's first control skill in player versus player. Not only could it cross a distance of 30 yards in just one second, but it could also stun the opponent for one second.

As long as Lu Yang was knocked out for a second, the hunter, mage, and warrior would be able to kill him. Facing this situation, Lu Yang did not panic at all. Just as Warrior Golden Eagle was about to hit Lu Yang, a golden flame halo suddenly burst out from Lu Yang's body.

Resistance Fire Ring

Type: Fire Spellcasting

Consumption: 10 MP

Casting Time: Instant Casting

Distance: 5 yards

Description: Releases a powerful force to the surroundings, pushing the enemy in front of you. The higher the level difference, the further the push distance.

With a bang, Warrior Golden Eagle that was charging at Lu Yang was suddenly sent flying back by the Resistance Fire Ring. He retreated more than ten steps.

The mage and hunter on both sides did not expect Warrior Golden Eagle's Charge to fail. At this moment, the mage was casting Frost Arrows. If he was hit by the Frost Arrows, Lu Yang's movement speed would be reduced by 30%. However, how could Lu Yang let the mage use the skill?

After sending the warrior flying, Lu Yang used Counterspell.

Counterspell

Type: General Spellcasting

Consumption: 10 MP

Casting Time: Instant Casting

Distance: 35 yards

Description: Counterattacks the target's magic, preventing them from casting any spells for 12 seconds.

With a flash of light, Lu Yang successfully countered the opponent's mage's ice-type spell. At this moment, the hunter's bow and arrow came toward Lu Yang. The poisonous arrow that contained a giant python spike appeared in front of Lu Yang. In the blink of an eye, Lu Yang moved three yards away from the hunter.

The bow and arrow in the hunter's hand were automatically replaced by the system. He then picked up the long-handled weapon, the wooden stick.

"W-what's going on? Why can't I use a bow?" The hunter was stunned.

Warrior Golden Eagle shouted, "Retreat quickly. He's in the blind spot of your bow. You can use your bow again if you retreat a yard."

The hunter knew about the blind spot of the bow and arrow. Lu Yang's sudden attack had thrown him into a panic. He immediately retreated when he realized what was going on. However, every time the hunter took a step back, Lu Yang took a step forward. When the hunter took two steps back, Lu Yang took two steps back. The hunter angrily took a step forward and wanted to hit Lu Yang with his weapon, but Lu Yang took a step back. He was always in the blind spot of the hunter's weapon.

Seeing this situation, the hunter's forehead was covered in sweat. After playing games for so many years, this was the first time he was forced into such an awkward situation.

"Don't worry, I'll help you." After the warrior steadied himself, he used his skill to block Lu Yang.

Intercept was the warrior's second crowd control skill, and it had the same effect as Charge.

Just as Warrior Golden Eagle activated Intercept, before it could reach Lu Yang, Lu Yang cast another Flame Blast. After 0.7 seconds, a Flame Blast accurately hit the warrior.

With a bang, Warrior Golden Eagle couldn't help but lean back. His interception was interrupted, and the word "-147" appeared above its head.

"Heal me now," the warrior shouted.

The priest immediately chanted an incantation for Recover. However, the recovery time was three seconds. Before the priest could finish chanting, Lu Yang's second Flame Blast arrived.

With a bang, the Warrior Golden Eagle was killed on the spot. The green bead fell to the ground. At this moment, the priest was halfway through his chant.

"This, this mage's Flame Bursts are all instant casts," the priest asked in concern.

"It's not instantaneous. I saw his countdown. Mage, quickly counterattack." The hunter was the closest to Lu Yang, so he could clearly see Lu Yang's casting method.

However, seeing it clearly and being able to counter it were two different things. With a casting speed of 0.7 seconds, even a top mage would find it difficult to grasp the timing. Seeing that Lu Yang had used another Flame Blast to reduce the priest's HP to nothing, he had no choice but to use Counterspell on Lu Yang.

The result was self-evident. The counterattack had failed!

When the priest saw this situation, he abandoned his companions in horror and turned to run. However, how could Lu Yang let the priest, who was in low health, escape? Seeing that the Flame Impact had finished cooling down, he aimed at the priest's back and released a spell.

Bang!

"-135."

The priest was beaten to death on the ground.

At this moment, there was only a mage and a hunter left on the battlefield. The more Lu Yang fought, the more excited he became. After his rebirth, this was his first PK. In order to show off, Lu Yang continued to stay within three yards of the hunter. At the same time, he stopped using Counterspell to restrict the mage's damage output and used Flame Burst to fight the mage head-on.

Unfortunately, Lu Yang only needed 0.7 seconds to cast Flame Blast, while the opposing mage needed 2.5 seconds to cast Frost Arrows. Before Frost Arrows could be cast, Lu Yang had already used Flame Blast on the mage.

"-142."

The level 2 mage only had 96 HP, so he was killed by Lu Yang.

Lu Yang looked back at the hunter and said, "You're the only one left."

The hunter was scared out of his wits by Lu Yang's sheer domination. He did not dare to fight Lu Yang anymore. He turned around and ran back as if he was running for his life. Unfortunately, he did not manage to run more than two steps before two Flame Blasts came at him.

After two bangs, the hunter also died on the ground.

One versus five, Lu Yang had won!
