Section 3

Li Huang! Dai Hui gritted his teeth, feeling panicked, tense, happy, and excited. Everything, surprisingly, was merely a trap set by this guy. Although this trap was clearly intended for escape and not aimed at anyone in particular, Dai Hui nonetheless fell into it and, as a result, offended Liu Ruifeng. Could anyone be more unfortunate than him

"The situations you inferred are all valid, but you have overlooked one issue: I have died once. Why don't you use your foolish brain to analyze again and see whether, under the system's consistent logic, someone like me who has already died once would still be subject to the penalties of the regulations?" Liu Ruifeng said

However, are you really sure that there are no witnesses left alive every time you slaughter your fellow disciples? I doubt it, don't you?" After saying this, Dai Hui laughed happily. He was somewhat impressed with his own cleverness for thinking of this in that moment. After all, he was a witness when Liu Ruifeng committed murder to seize the sword, which meant he held the leverage to have Liu Ruifeng expelled from the sect and have his martial arts skills discarded. Moreover, with the equipment and props that this guy was trying to reclaim still in his hands, it was clear that he had more bargaining chips in this confrontation. The notorious Liu Ruifeng in the entire Wudang Sect was really nothing more than this. It seemed he had some ruthlessness but lacked intelligence. He actually came to him, trying to threaten him with some set-up. Now, look, he has fallen into his own trap.

It is not that easy! Dai Hui's tone was resolute. After going around in circles, this was still the only leverage he had in hand; how could he possibly let it go so easily

There are some

What a coincidence? Did you manage to get it?

What kind of farce is this

What exactly do you want from me? It can't be as simple as just having me return your things, can it?" Dai Hui said

Having observed Liu Ruifeng's massacre of the entire arena, Dai Hui has consistently measured himself against Liu's strength. There is no doubt that Liu Ruifeng is formidable, yet Dai Hui is not to be underestimated, particularly in the realm of lightness skill, in which he has always held great confidence. If Xintian Tower were to compile a ranking of the lightness skills of the disciples from the Wudang Sect, he believes he could place within the top ten. However, when it comes to lightness skill alone, Liu Ruifeng truly falls short of the status of one of the three great masters of Wudang.

Following the sound, Dai Hui realized that there was someone hidden nearby. However, he no longer dared to move recklessly to take a look, not even daring to turn his head. He could only listen, and soon there was another sound, a "puff," as yet another person met their demise

At this moment, Dai Hui was very eager to observe the actions of the four individuals, but he did not dare to move at all. He feared that any disturbance he caused would alert Liu Ruifeng, and in a direct confrontation, he was certainly no match for him. Having killed twelve people, Liu Ruifeng's cultivation and skills were exceptionally high, which Dai Hui had witnessed firsthand.

Do not panic! He urged himself and carefully recalled that among the people who arrived with him in the first wave, there was definitely no Liu Ruifeng

"Has something happened?" Xu Ming pondered, unaware that at this moment, Dai Hui had already become so tense that sweat was pouring down.

Are there still two left? Does he know about them both

Now we are at the final stage. The Wudang Sect is currently under the control of its two major disciples, Ling Feixiao and Gu Yunfei, who are responsible for sealing off the mountain. It is certain that the usual paths are impassable. However, how many slopes and forests without paths are there? Ultimately, they cannot seal everything off

Without any unexpected events, he arrived at the sect ahead of time. Along the way, he was truly afraid of suddenly receiving a message from the sect saying that the sword had been retrieved, but fortunately, that did not happen. Upon reaching the vicinity of the main gate, he began to continuously gaze down the winding stone steps, wondering when Liu Ruifeng would finally arrive

However, it is impossible for him to pass through the main avenue here. Are there any other small paths on the Wudang Mountain side?

Dai Hui and Li Huang are not strangers; with such methods, he believes that Li Huang is capable of executing them

Hmm? Dai Hui was taken aback upon hearing this, paused for a moment, and then turned back around.

Thus, upon seeing the sect leader and the two main disciples present, Dai Hui did not dare to enter the room directly. He merely stood outside the hall and called out loudly, "I have retrieved the sword of the great hero Yang!"

What was the reaction of the four individuals in the hall when they first heard about the sword being reclaimed? Dai Hui had completely forgotten to observe. At that moment, a sound came from inside, and he could no longer afford to enjoy the anxious gazes of the players, so he hurriedly stepped into the hall. Many players had already flocked over to watch.

What are you waiting for? Liu Ruifeng said coldly

Liu Ruifeng admired Dai Hui's appearance, which seemed quite relaxed. However, conveying all of this to Dai Hui carried an obvious undertone of threat

"This is a trap set by Li Huang to extricate himself." Dai Hui briefly explained the situation he understood to Liu Ruifeng

It seems so. Dai Hui nodded.

Quickly bring it up

Hello, Liu Ruifeng, you are truly ruthless! This person is already aware that escape from death is impossible, and can only lament in profound anger.

Who is this guy? He actually killed Liu Ruifeng?

This question lingered in his mind for almost not even a second, and Dai Hui immediately came to his senses

As a result, after sending these two letters, Dai Hui on the other side did not respond for a long time. Xu Ming sent two more letters, yet they still sank into the sea like a stone

He has every reason to do this.

Dai Hui pondered to himself as the sounds continued to resonate from that direction. The remaining two could no longer contain their impatience and began to take the initiative.

The sword was taken out of the package by Dai Hui early on. After entering the hall, it was received from his hands by the eldest disciple, Chong Ming, who then passed it on to the renowned hero Yang Huai of Xiangzhong, exchanging some polite words. Yang Huai responded continuously. The smiles on the faces of several NPCs were indeed sincere, while the players outside the hall all wore long faces. At this moment, the only player who could still be happy was probably Dai Hui from the entire Wudang Mountain.

Liu Ruifeng came later, yet his actions were so early and so discreet that it was absolutely impossible for anyone to know. He was referring to those four individuals, or perhaps he was just bluffing

Dai Hui was calculating in his mind while also starting to contact friends, inquiring everywhere about the experiences of those who had fallen into Li Huang's traps, specifically where they had been and what they had gone through. These details were like footprints left by Li Huang along his path, and following them would surely lead to the right direction

As a result, he heard Liu Ruifeng sarcastically say, "Are you an idiot?"

One must be patient! At least for now, Liu Ruifeng is in the light while I am in the shadows; opportunities for a surprise attack can always be found again. Dai Hui, hiding in the bushes, quietly watched Liu Ruifeng's departing figure until it completely vanished, and only then did he emerge from the thicket. Although Liu Ruifeng was no longer visible, it was not difficult to guess his direction and intentions. At this moment, having obtained the sword of the hero from Xiangzhong, he would certainly head straight to deliver it to his sect. Liu Ruifeng was no exception; the direction he was heading was indeed the route up the mountain to enter the sect.

"What exactly do you want with the books?" Dai Hui had to turn back and ask.

Is this sword fake

In this case, the punishment would be quite severe. In the world of "People in the Jianghu," characters do not have levels; the experience gained from defeating monsters or completing tasks is entirely used to enhance martial arts skills. If one's martial arts skills are rendered useless, and if there are no equipment or money left, it would be no different from deleting the account. Upon realizing this, sweat began to bead on Dai Hui's forehead. Unlike Li Huang, who still had other skills even if his Wudang martial arts were rendered useless, all of Dai Hui's martial arts skills were taught by his sect. If they were to be nullified, he would have to start all over again.

"You are scaring me. If you could, you might as well have done this from the beginning; there was no need to say so much to me." Dai Hui's words sounded very confident, but inside he was genuinely uncertain. Although he said this, he truly did not dare to move his feet.

At this moment, Dai Hui truly had no time to feel frustrated. With a push of his foot against the ground, he executed a lightness skill to retreat, clearly preparing to escape. He had considerable confidence in his agility. He floated back more than 2 meters, and only when he was about to turn around did he notice that Liu Ruifeng had not moved at all, seemingly having no intention to strike. Just as he was fully turning around and ready to dash away, he heard Liu Ruifeng coldly say, "There is no need to run; I will not kill you here." Just as he was fully turning around and ready to dash away, he heard Liu Ruifeng coldly say, "There is no need to run; I will not kill you here."

In fact, Dai Hui did not wait for long, but the overwhelming anticipation led him to develop various suspicions. He even worried about the possibility of Liu Ruifeng suddenly encountering some personal accident, which would result in the permanent loss of the sword of the great hero of Xiangzhong offline. Compared to other players, his restless demeanor resembled that of a headless fly.

Liu Ruifeng was suddenly ambushed and wanted to retaliate, but the assailant struck from behind with a cold and sudden attack, employing a continuous series of soft palm strikes. The assailant's skill was also considerable, and Liu Ruifeng found himself unable to turn around in time. By the time the opponent finished this set of palm techniques, Liu Ruifeng was already lying on the ground, severely injured

What do you mean? Although Dai Hui was afraid, his tone was not particularly weak. After all, it is just a game; if one lacks strength, then so be it. There is no need for a person to lower themselves because of that.

Before this, I suddenly became aware of a problem again, "Dai Hui said

Dai Hui was feeling dazed when suddenly a player struggled to squeeze in from outside the hall. Upon entering, he immediately drew a long sword and raised it high, exclaiming: "I have found the sword of the great hero Yang!"

The NPC's expression was grave, and the three members of the Wudang Sect immediately inquired whether the renowned hero of Xiangzhong, Yang Huai, had any methods to discern the truth from the false. Yang Huai promptly spoke with authority, but Dai Hui, listening nearby, felt a chill in his heart. The method of discernment required one to obtain the sword first and then examine it closely. By the time the sword was in hand, the players would have already fought fiercely, leaving only one standing, while in the chaos, Li Huang had long since disappeared.

Puff

Whoosh ... ...

"What is the truth behind the genuine and counterfeit swords?" Liu Ruifeng inquired

The remaining players have begun to panic. They may not all know Liu Ruifeng, but at this moment, they can clearly see the disparity in his martial prowess. The brutal competition has now completely turned into a situation dominated by strength. Liu Ruifeng's audacity to act so arrogantly indicates that he believes these people, even when united, pose no threat to him. Currently, there are still six individuals left, in addition to the four and two he has already killed. Liu Ruifeng is fully confident in facing twelve opponents at once.

Currently, there are still six individuals left, in addition to the four and two he has already killed. Liu Ruifeng is fully confident in facing twelve opponents at once.

Observing the nearby Wudang players who were aimlessly flitting about like headless flies, Dai Hui felt a surge of superiority within him. He was not a headless fly; he had a clear goal, and every step along the way had already been meticulously planned. Now, he was simply waiting for Liu Ruifeng to appear.

This was originally the best opportunity for Dai Hui, who had been waiting to play the role of the final hidden player. However, the current disparity in strength between the two sides is too great. To kill Liu Ruifeng, Dai Hui must launch a surprise attack. But now, no matter how he strikes, Liu Ruifeng will definitely notice it immediately, leaving no chance for success.

Hehe! Liu Ruifeng smiled, though it was hard to tell if he was angry; it was certainly not a smile of happiness. Following that, he delivered a kick, completely reviving the one who was already half-dead on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Dai Hui immediately understood that Liu Ruifeng was still keen on reclaiming the sword, and now that he had a hold over him, it was very likely that this fellow intended to use him as a slave. However, Dai Hui was already certain that he would participate in the effort to seize the sword. Although he appeared to be at the mercy of others, it remained to be seen who would ultimately be able to manipulate whom. With this thought, Dai Hui suppressed his anger and prepared to bide his time while dealing with Liu Ruifeng. He was determined to engage in the struggle for the sword, and despite the current appearance of being under someone else's control, the true dynamics of their relationship would unfold in due course.

Here with me, Dai Hui did not rush to express his stance. Liu Ruifeng would inquire about these matters, indicating that he still held certain leverage and was not entirely at the mercy of others. In the end, Liu Ruifeng was quite straightforward; without saying anything, he simply extended a hand and said, "Come again"

Dai Hui could no longer contain himself and clicked on Li Huang's name in the friends list, sending a message via pigeon post.

Where is the item I lost before?" Daihui asked

Outside the main gate of the Wudang Sect, Dai Hui felt quite anxious and restless

Dai Hui was very satisfied, but also feared that the night would be long and dreams many, so he immediately rushed towards the sect. The distance to the sect was not far, and upon presenting his sword, he would receive a reward. Even if Liu Ruifeng came to seek revenge in the future, with this reward, his strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds. Even if Liu Ruifeng truly came, he might not necessarily be afraid. He estimated that he would soon become the top expert of the Wudang Sect, or perhaps even the number one expert in the entire martial world, as there had not been such a significant event until now. Dai Hui dared to take action because he had already clarified all aspects of the situation. At this moment, his heart was filled with joy, feeling that everything was simply wonderful. As he stepped through the gates of the sect, Dai Hui could no longer conceal the smile in his heart and began to beam with delight.

Liu Ruifeng, is it really necessary to be so extreme? One of them actually recognized this expert.

Ultimately, players cannot pursue the retrieval of this sword for the sake of the sect's reputation like NPCs do; rather, it is driven by their own selfish desires. They are unable to unite, and even now, despite the sect leader's decree informing everyone of the sword's authenticity, no one can escape the trap set by Li Huang.

A flash of sword light

This guy, he wouldn't be trying to enter through the back door, would he

Dai Huifei quickly arrived at this place, noticing that the sect leader and two of his direct disciples were present. He hesitated slightly. In a game, it is not overly necessary to emphasize formalities; as long as one does not insult NPCs, using fewer honorifics and showing less courtesy would not be taken too seriously by them. However, while the system does not impose strict requirements, most players tend to be particular about it. Everyone hopes to create a good impression on NPCs by paying attention to etiquette, as NPCs in the world of Jianghu are quite realistic, possessing their own personalities and preferences. If relationships are well established, one might casually receive a few secret tips, which would be quite beneficial.

"Oh no, Li Huang is likely to escape down the mountain with a sword," Dai Hui's message stated.

After all, using a sword to extract information can only be done one by one. It is nothing like players who have friends and connections; with a single dispatch of a carrier pigeon, they can instantly obtain a wealth of information.

Liu Ruifeng's martial arts skills were well-known to him; even if he had just lost some cultivation due to death, it was still enough to thoroughly defeat Dai Hui. Originally, he had hoped to recover the treasured sword and present it to the sect, thereby achieving great merit and receiving substantial rewards. With his strength enhanced, he would naturally not fear Liu Ruifeng's retaliation. However, he did not expect that after offending such a ruthless person, what he retrieved was merely the fake sword left behind by Li Huang's scheme. Furthermore, he was taken aback by how quickly Liu Ruifeng came looking for him, and how coincidentally they encountered each other at that moment.

The crowd was instantly in an uproar again, but this time several NPCs remained remarkably calm. Master Zihe sat still without moving, while the other three stepped forward together, skipping the step of passing the sword and directly allowing the hero Xiangzhong to take the sword.

Dai Hui's heart instantly rose to his throat

Liu Ruifeng has indeed encountered a setback today

This person is himself; at this moment, Daihui has not yet fully realized the extent of his misfortune

The edge of the cliff was littered with various items dropped by players after their deaths, yet Liu Ruifeng did not even glance at them. After picking up the sword that everyone had been fighting over, he circled around to the back of the boulder and crouched down to examine it carefully. Ultimately, he stood up, took only the sword, and hurriedly prepared to leave.

Dai Hui's expression suddenly changed; he immediately recalled his previous act of ambushing and killing Liu Ruifeng, which had occurred in full view of everyone. He quickly understood what Liu Ruifeng meant by "idiot".

This fellow employed some tactics to divert the players' attention entirely; how many NPCs could there possibly be? It is certainly impossible to completely seal off such a vast Wudang Mountain.

Dai Hui repeatedly asked himself, and suddenly recalled that Liu Ruifeng had called him an idiot just before dying. Could it be that the guy had switched the swords in advance? But what would be the point of that switch? It couldn't just be to prevent being exposed, right? This wouldn't hide the real sword! If the real sword had already been sent away by some special means, then there would be no need to carry a fake sword on him!

Dai Hui harbored such expectations, but ultimately, good fortune could not be entirely his. Perhaps Liu Ruifeng had also realized this. Therefore, in this final moment of opportunity, he offered no resistance, but simply turned around with all his might

"Then why do I have nothing to do right now?" Dai Hui said

The foremost expert Zhao Yuanzhi, having interacted with him, can be considered a friend. His cultivation is indeed high, yet Dai Hui is somewhat dismissive of his skills; at least in a practical PK scenario, Dai Hui feels he might not lose. However, after observing Zhao Yuanzhi's exceptionally steady demeanor at the mountain gate today, Dai Hui has elevated his assessment of this individual a few notches.

Seeing Dai Hui stop, Liu Ruifeng coldly sneered again: "Kill you here? Do you think I am as foolish as you?"

Puff puff puff puff

Arrived

"Since this is the case, then I only need to die once to escape the punishment of the rules." Dai Hui felt that he had not lost his leverage; on the contrary, due to this arrangement, the leverage Liu Ruifeng could originally use to threaten him had significantly diminished

The rules of the Wudang Sect are distributed to each new member upon joining. However, Daihui treated this as a game and did not pay attention to such regulations. At this time, Daihui quickly flipped through the rules and saw that harming fellow disciples is absolutely prohibited without question. As for the consequences of committing an offense? The answer in the rules is a single word: death

Those hidden, come out! The blood on the sword's edge has yet to dry, yet Liu Ruifeng has already begun to contemplate the next target he intends to kill

As he expected, Liu Ruifeng had many enemies. When he was killed in public, no one thought about seizing the sword of the great hero of Xiangzhong; they merely regarded it as a normal revenge duel.

Suddenly, Dai Hui understood why this guy insisted on threatening him instead of simply selling him to the sect and killing him as a task. Liu Ruifeng, after all, still had thoughts about seizing the sword. However, making such predictions at this moment was beyond his capability. It was not that his mind was insufficient, but that making such predictions required a grasp of a lot of prior intelligence. Where does the intelligence come from? Naturally, one must seek out others to ask, but in terms of connections, Liu Ruifeng was utterly clueless. It was not that his mind was insufficient, but that making such predictions required a grasp of a lot of prior intelligence. Where does the intelligence come from? Naturally, one must seek out others to ask, but in terms of connections, Liu Ruifeng was utterly clueless. Speaking of this, Dai Hui had some reputation among the players of the Wudang Sect, at least he had an extremely wide circle of friends. And Liu Ruifeng's threat against him was precisely an attempt to exploit the connections he lacked.

From this perspective, after a person dies in the world, it is not a rebirth but rather a new life. However, many aspects of the original self will still be retained

It seems you hope they realize it immediately? Liu Ruifeng said

Having lost the other party's sword, the Wudang Sect naturally felt quite apologetic towards this hero. Fortunately, Yang Huai was a person of integrity and had a good relationship with Wudang, so he did not become irritable over this matter. At this moment, Wudang disciples were searching the mountains and fields for the sword, while he remained quite at ease in the reception room next to the Zixiao Hall on Wudang Mountain, sipping tea. He was accompanied by the Wudang Sect leader, Master Zihe, and two of his direct disciples, Chongming and Chongqian.

"What do you want?" Dai Hui asked helplessly. It was truly frustrating for him to be threatened even while playing a game. However, it was no longer as simple as dying and losing some items or cultivation levels, so he could not afford to act impulsively.

No one noticed anything different about him, not even Liu Ruifeng

Because he saw this person clearly. Previously, there were too many people, and it was chaotic, making it impossible for him to distinguish one from another. Only now, as the crowd dwindled, and after four individuals had fallen, Dai Hui finally recognized this person: Liu Ruifeng, the second most skilled master of Wudang, who had just knocked down four people in one breath.

Dai Hui was not willing to easily surrender, remaining silent as he gazed at Liu Ruifeng. Both sides held leverage; although Dai Hui only possessed some equipment and items, losing them was far less terrifying than having his martial arts rendered useless. However, the issue was that if Dai Hui's martial arts were indeed rendered useless, it would not bring any substantial benefit to Liu Ruifeng. For Liu Ruifeng, reclaiming his own equipment was much more advantageous than incapacitating Dai Hui's martial arts. Yet, the fact remained that if Dai Hui's martial arts were rendered useless, it would not provide any real advantage to Liu Ruifeng. For Liu Ruifeng, reclaiming his own equipment was far more beneficial than incapacitating Dai Hui's martial arts.

Dai Hui quickly found the great hero of Xiangzhong, Yang Huai

This is within the Wudang Sect, surrounded entirely by Wudang disciples. You and I are also part of the same sect; if I were to kill you, it would be harming a fellow disciple. In any sect, this is a serious crime. Would I be foolish enough to openly kill you here

Dai Hui listened but remained unmoved: "I believe this setting is valid, but the issue is, without your prompting, the current players probably have not yet realized the potential impact of such behavior, have they?"

Many Wudang players were moving up and down the stone steps, and those who recognized Liu Ruifeng all made various evasive gestures, clearly showing some fear of this notorious second-ranked expert. However, there were naturally many players who did not know this expert; Dai Hui seemed to be one of them at that moment, hurriedly focusing on descending his own steps, without deliberately casting a glance at Liu Ruifeng.

Dai Hui became increasingly pleased with himself, especially looking forward to Liu Ruifeng's reaction after his remarks. If Liu were to immediately become fearful and beg him, it would be nothing short of delightful. However, the outcome left him somewhat disappointed; Liu Ruifeng not only showed no signs of fear but instead raised the corner of his mouth in a sneer: "Your mind isn't slow, but unfortunately, it's still at the level of an idiot. The greatest characteristic of an idiot is that they think others are just as foolish as they are. If your analysis were true, and I didn't secretly go and kill you to take back what was yours, but instead blocked you from explaining this rule that the vast majority have forgotten, then I would truly be as foolish as you."

Dai Hui was suddenly unable to move a step. Liu Ruifeng was warning him that during this time, his act of slaughtering his fellow disciples and violating the sect's rules would be known to the sect. As for how the subsequent 'kill' order would be triggered after this knowledge, Dai Hui was unclear, and he could not take the risk to find out, so he could only stand still

The four individuals in the hall had not yet made any moves, but the players around them, upon hearing that sound, were all astonished and exclaimed in surprise. Various envious and jealous gazes shot over like arrows, which made Dai Hui feel quite pleased. Now that they had reached this place, he certainly was not afraid of anyone attempting to use force to seize the sword; were the NPCs all wooden-headed fools?

Dai Hui immediately tore apart the message that Li Huang had sent back, and quickly reported this information to several NPCs.

The third expert, Qi Sizhe, has been heard of by Dai Hui, but has not been seen

The fake sword you made

Dai Hui thought long and hard and felt that Liu Ruifeng's actions were utterly unreasonable. If it were not Liu Ruifeng, then who could it be

After weighing the situation, Dai Hui became even more resolute in his confidence to never relent. In this contest, whoever makes the first statement or raises a demand may find themselves in a passive position

It is merely a sneak attack

Like him, the four individuals quietly hid to the side after arriving, preparing to play the role of the final unsuspecting victim. In this regard, Dai Hui had to admit that he was quite fortunate. Because he was close enough and arrived early, he became the first to take such action. Now he could clearly identify each person lurking nearby, intending to play the role of the ultimate unsuspecting victim, while he himself remained a ghost, hidden in the depths, completely unknown to anyone.

Dai Hui did not know how high the cultivation levels of these twelve individuals were, but they were, after all, the last twelve survivors of a brutal melee. However, under Liu Ruifeng's command, they could not even withstand a single move.

Dai Hui's mastery of this palm technique is quite impressive; otherwise, he would not have had the confidence to ambush Liu Ruifeng. Even so, this strike only resulted in a staggering blow. Had it been someone less skilled, this palm strike would have been sufficient to inflict serious injury.

"How is it possible? With so many Wudang disciples and NPCs sealing the mountain, how could he possibly escape?" The message was sent back by Xu Ming, who, along with Shang Boran, was one of Dai Hui's closest companions in the martial world, and naturally, he would not be absent at this moment

Do not let him see it

"It is precisely because I can do this at any time that I am not in the least bit anxious. As for you, you need to perform well; perhaps if I am in a better mood, I might let you off the hook," Liu Ruifeng said

So, do you intend to return my belongings yourself, or do you prefer to wait for the sect to issue a kill order before I eliminate you, thereby having your martial arts skills abolished, being expelled from the sect, and additionally providing me with a reward from the sect?

Falling into the trap set by Li Huang, although Dai Hui was extremely furious, he ultimately had not given up hope. However, the situation laid out by Li Huang was indeed difficult to break. Even though the players now knew that the sword could be either real or fake, the enormous interests at stake made it preferable to mistakenly kill than to miss out. The distinction between the real and fake swords had a negligible impact.

"Hehe, I certainly don't mind if you die. You can die right away; I'm waiting for it!" Liu Ruifeng said

"I never expected he would also be here..." Just as Dai Hui had this thought, with a swift motion, Liu Ruifeng struck down two more individuals with his swords.

As he stood up again, Dai Hui's keen hearing allowed him to catch some low murmurs around him

The issue is that this is merely a game; the player's backpack is akin to Doraemon's pocket, existing in a different dimension, capable of holding an extraordinary amount of items. Li Huang's arrangement is clearly well-planned in advance, and it is unlikely that Dai Hui will find himself in the awkward situation of running out of swords.

It seems you have already thought of it. This foolish act, you just happened to do it once." Liu Ruifeng said

Li Huang, it is Li Huang

Dai Hui's heart raced, and his movements were already swift. He hoped that no one could identify that sword so quickly. To be fair, the sword was not particularly unique; in just the blink of an eye, it should not have attracted too much attention, right

"Return my belongings first," said Liu Ruifeng

Dai Hui did not dare to follow closely behind. After discerning Liu Ruifeng's intentions, he chose another path and hurriedly made his way towards the mountain sect.

This strike was delivered with such force that even Liu Ruifeng was caught off guard, stumbling immediately after being hit.

Liu Ruifeng surveyed the scene, and when his gaze fell upon the thicket where he was hiding, Dai Hui could hardly suppress his trembling. However, he held on, for Liu Ruifeng's actions ultimately confirmed that he was unaware of Dai Hui's presence; otherwise, he would have walked straight over and slapped him dead by now.

With a beaming smile, Dai Hui glanced proudly at the players crowded outside the door. At that moment, Yang Huai had also taken up the long sword, and with a casual swing, the sword was drawn, radiating a cold light.

The four sounds echoed in succession, and four blood arrows shot up into the sky. The slaughter had never ceased; one should have long been numb to such sounds. However, at this moment, Dai Hui's eyes suddenly widened, extremely large.

This situation is indeed quite difficult to unravel. It seems that this fellow might really escape from Wudang after all" said Liu Ruifeng

Yang Huai once again announced: This sword is also fake

But are they already the strongest

Players who can make it to this moment are not simple; even if their skills are not exceptional, at least their minds are agile. Looking at the situation, it is clear that being greedy will only lead to a bad outcome. One person helplessly shrugged and said: "Alright, you are impressive, I concede, the sword belongs to you, and I will leave immediately"

... ...

Dai Hui, who was filled with fear towards Liu Ruifeng, did not dare to give Liu Ruifeng any chance to catch his breath. He even hoped that Liu Ruifeng would not be able to turn around. After all, this is a game; when a person dies, they can immediately be reborn. Liu Ruifeng would definitely seek revenge, but if he never turned around even once, perhaps he would not even be able to determine who had struck the blow.

Gradually, the number of people dwindled. Although the scene was quite ugly, it must be said that this was indeed a complex contest. Those who stood until the end relied absolutely not on luck

What should I do

Until the moment the two brushed past each other, Dai Hui's gaze remained fixed straight ahead. It was only after this moment that Dai Hui suddenly turned around, and a light yet decisive hand was already pressed against Liu Ruifeng's back

His only response was this one sound. Blood splattered as the person fell. The remaining four, having witnessed this individual's prowess, were already weakened in spirit; at this moment, they had no time to utter any words and turned to flee. However, Liu Ruifeng's movements were even quicker, and with a series of four sounds, he had already eliminated them completely

Twelve people

Dai Hui was taken aback for a moment, and after a brief reflection, he immediately felt that what Liu Ruifeng said this time was indeed not unfounded. In the world of "People in the Jianghu," a person can be resurrected after death; this fundamental setting of the online game cannot ultimately be canceled. However, the system still strives to reflect the consequences of death as much as possible. For instance, failing a quest, the absence of witnesses, and now, having originally violated the rules of the gate, one can still use this to evade punishment.

"Disabling" refers to the revocation of martial arts skills, while "Expulsion" means being cast out of the sect. In the context of online games, these two penalties are indeed more terrifying than "Death." However, it remains the case that "Death" is considered a more severe punishment than either of the two. Daihui estimates that this is unlikely to be an oversight by the designers. This death likely encompasses both "Disabling" and "Expulsion"; upon resurrection, the character will have lost all martial arts skills and will no longer be a disciple of the Wudang Sect.

"That's not right. If it's a small path, there might already be NPCs guarding it. I see that he still has to go down the mountain using a route that has no path, but leads to a place he can descend to." Xu Ming had just sent a message, but felt it was incorrect, so he immediately sent another one. He still had some sense; among the three of them, he often came up with ideas. Otherwise, Dai Hui wouldn't have primarily sent him the message.

Ah ! ! ! !

Whoosh! Liu Ruifeng moved, producing the sound of his garments brushing against the air, followed by several instances of a "puff" sound. From the forest over there, a heavy object fell to the ground, indicating that the one hiding in the tree had been taken out. Dai Hui counted in his heart.

Liu Ruifeng

The term "绵" in "绵掌" does not merely refer to the soft and gentle appearance of this set of palm techniques; it also encompasses the meaning of being continuous and unending. This technique is characterized by a seamless flow, where each move and the accompanying force are uninterrupted once initiated. It is truly the most suitable secret skill for ambushes within the martial arts of the Wudang sect.

The remaining five, upon seeing this scene, could not help but understand Liu Ruifeng's thoughts.

Although Dai Hui was reluctant, the current situation left him no choice but to comply. Moreover, he had not yet given up hope of reclaiming his treasured sword, while also considering how to find an opportunity to free himself from Liu Ruifeng's coercion. That fellow's belongings were still with him, and it seemed he was not in a hurry to retrieve them. Clearly, Liu Ruifeng was eager to use him to seize the sword, so he was not pressing him too hard.

At this point, it seems that Li Huang has successfully escaped from Wudang, so where should one go next to find him? Dai Hui thought to himself as he hurriedly left the reception room, simultaneously sending a message via carrier pigeon to summon classmates for assistance down the mountain.

Liu Ruifeng merely gazed at him, not asking further. Dai Hui had no choice but to speak up: "You only mentioned that those witnesses could report, but did not mention yourself. This indicates that you, as the victim, logically cannot have your testimony acknowledged by the sect because you are already dead, correct?"

Dai Hui held onto this thought; if it weren't for the fact that wearing a mask attracted too much attention, he would have indeed considered wearing one from the start. At this moment, seeing Liu Ruifeng turn around, Dai Hui had already calculated the position of the sword, so there was no need to stare intently. He quickly turned his head to the side, trying to avoid being seen by Liu Ruifeng.

The surrounding silence brought a slight sense of relief to Dai Hui, as it seemed that no one had noticed. To avoid making his previous action appear too abrupt, Dai Hui continued his swift movements, picking up everything that Liu Ruifeng had spilled.

The man stiffly turned his head back, wanting to say something, but Liu Ruifeng didn't even glance at him. He simply lifted his foot and stepped on the man's turned face, kicking him off the sword as if he found him a nuisance hanging on it.

Has anyone noticed? Has anyone noticed?

Behind the giant rock at that time, he heard Li Huang's voice, but when they approached, there was no one in sight, only a mess of items scattered on the ground. Everyone assumed that the two had perished together, leaving only the discarded equipment behind. However, what if this was a ruse by Li Huang? He might have already chosen a hiding spot, called out to attract the players' attention, then discarded his items and concealed himself. After that, he would watch the Wudang players fight amongst themselves, and once they had all perished, he would leave quietly and safely.

Everything happened in an instant, and the surrounding players had not even had the chance to gossip about what was going on here

How could this sword be fake

Based on Dai Hui's understanding of "The World of Jianghu," he has subtly begun to feel that what Liu Ruifeng said is not without merit. Such a setting is undoubtedly extremely logical.

It is evident that they are not yet. Dai Hui's gaze, hidden among the bushes, had long since settled on the four hiding places around him. He knew that there were four more people.

Several NPCs said a few things, yet he heard not a single word. However, the discussions and laughter of the players outside sounded remarkably loud to him

Amidst the discussions, there was no shortage of disdain for Dai Hui, yet at that moment, Dai Hui found himself genuinely laughing upon hearing these remarks

"What a fine sword!" Dai Hui praised eagerly, but the next moment, he noticed that Yang Huai's brows had already furrowed. Yang Huai examined the sword back and forth a couple of times, ignoring Dai Hui, and instead addressed the three Wudang NPCs, saying: "This sword is a fake."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around. The next second, he heard a clear and personal "puff" sound. Lowering his head, he saw a blood-soaked sword tip emerging from his chest.

There is no way around it; who told him to have so many enemies? What good is it to have high martial arts skills alone

However, regardless of the circumstances, among the three great masters, the most formidable is still Liu Ruifeng

The weight of this kill, Dai Hui estimated, was certainly not simple. Although it would not directly eliminate the player from the game, in terms of the rules, a kill is a more severe punishment than "waste" and "expulsion"

Li Huang has truly grasped the mindset of the players. Considering this, Dai Hui believes that unless Li Huang has exhausted the fake sword he carries, there is simply no solution to this round

Just as Dai Hui was discussing with Xu Ming, he was preparing to rush out of the sect's main gate when suddenly a figure flashed in front of him, blocking his way. At that moment, Dai Hui was focused on the message he was reading and hardly paid attention to his surroundings, nearly colliding with the person before he realized it. How good could Dai Hui's mood be at that moment? Frowning, he looked up, ready to scold a few words, but upon seeing the person's cold, icy eyes, Dai Hui was instantly taken aback.

Upon hearing this, Dai Hui immediately felt a surge of impatience, but he quickly reminded himself to remain calm. After making an effort to compose himself, he said: "Isn't it?"

Anxiety has finally paid off. Dai Hui, who had been glancing at the mountain path almost every second, finally spotted Liu Ruifeng's figure, rushing towards the mountain gate without pause. As for the sword, he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to hold it in his hand; it was hidden among the items in his bag. Who could possibly know? After all, an online game is still just an online game

The first, second, and third masters are all rated by the Sky Tower, based on the players' martial arts cultivation. However, martial arts cultivation only represents a part of one's strength. In actual combat, there are many other determining factors, such as awareness, experience, judgment, and the application of techniques, among others. A person with a high level of cultivation may be lacking in these aspects, which means their cultivated strength cannot be maximized. Conversely, someone with mediocre martial arts cultivation may excel in these areas, allowing their less impressive martial arts to unleash unexpected power.

Conversely, someone with mediocre martial arts cultivation may excel in these areas, allowing their less impressive martial arts to unleash unexpected power.

In order to seize the sword on the ground, all players racked their brains and devised various means. Some attempted to overpower others with brute force, while others, confident in their agility, planned to grab it and flee. When they saw that the aforementioned methods had all failed, they immediately sought temporary alliances. Thus, betrayal and treachery ultimately became the main theme of this farce. Each person was trying to exploit others, while simultaneously being unwittingly exploited themselves. Wave after wave of players fell, while new players rushed in. Each person was trying to exploit others, while simultaneously being unwittingly exploited themselves. Wave after wave of players fell, while new players rushed in. The first wave of unsuspecting players soon found that none remained alive. The newly arrived players were merely repeating the farce that had come before.

It seems you still do not understand the situation. At this moment, Liu Ruifeng appeared to be in no hurry, stating, "As long as your violation of the sect's rules is exposed, the sect will immediately issue a kill order against you. At that time, when I kill you, I will no longer have to worry about any witnesses. Do you think that just because your lightness skill is a bit higher, I would have no way to deal with you? To be honest, if I want to kill you, it would be a simple matter for me." As Liu Ruifeng spoke, he flicked his wrist, and Dai Hui suddenly felt a stream of air sharply brush past his body, stirring up the dust on the ground and lifting his clothing. He had not even seen how Liu Ruifeng made his move. To be honest, if I want to kill you, it would be a simple matter for me. As Liu Ruifeng spoke, he flicked his wrist again, and Dai Hui felt that same sharp stream of air pass by him, raising the dust and lifting his clothing, and he still had not seen how Liu Ruifeng executed his technique. Liu Ruifeng's skills were even more terrifying than what he had witnessed before, and this was after having died once and lost his martial arts cultivation.

This time, there was a long sound of something breaking through the air, and soon the familiar "puff" sound came again, but it was from a bit of a distance. Following that, there was a loud "bang," and a person was sent flying, crashing directly into the boulder and falling to the ground. Liu Ruifeng, with empty hands, floated over.

Dai Hui can only recognize Liu Ruifeng; he has never interacted with this person and only knows that he is very fierce, ruthless, and vengeful. In the context of online gaming, this person is a PK fanatic; in the realm of martial arts, he should not be a disciple of a prestigious sect like Wudang; in the world of Saint Seiya, he is a typical Scorpio Saint!

"I would never die in front of you," Dai Hui shouted, already preparing to escape with his lightness skill. When one dies, all the equipment and items on their person will drop, so in a situation where death is inevitable, the best course of action is to find a friend. This way, after dying, the items can be collected by the friend; otherwise, what difference is there from being killed outright? As Dai Hui turned, he had barely made a move when he heard Liu Ruifeng shout from behind him: "Do you still want to run far away to die? Guess what will happen during this time?"

This player clearly has no idea what has happened here, his face filled with excitement, just like Dai Hui did half a minute ago. However, half a minute later, he immediately transformed to resemble Dai Hui at this moment.

Dai Hui truly did not expect to encounter Liu Ruifeng so soon; it seems that today is indeed not his lucky day

Dai Hui was instantly petrified

Fortunately, Dai Hui had long anticipated this situation, and Mian Zhang's continuous and unending characteristics were perfectly utilized. Dai Hui struck repeatedly, delivering blow after blow to Liu Ruifeng's body

Dai Hui took a moment to compose himself and began to descend the stone steps, heading towards Liu Ruifeng.

In this case, we can only predict his descent route by understanding his direction of movement said Liu Ruifeng

Liu Ruifeng observed Dai Hui's silence, seemingly seeing through his thoughts. After a cold laugh, he said: "I must remind you that at any moment, someone may report your actions of harming fellow disciples to the sect. You might as well wait here to have your martial arts skills revoked and be kicked out of the sect"

At this moment, the two parties were at a considerable distance, and Dai Hui was feeling less tense. If the situation turned unfavorable, he believed he could still escape using his lightness skill. However, upon hearing Liu Ruifeng say this, Dai Hui was quite curious to know what he had to say. After all, being entangled with such a fierce character would undoubtedly lead to a great deal of trouble.

This game, in pursuit of realism, has indeed created quite a few convoluted settings due to its nature as a game! Liu Ruifeng remained silent, while Dai Hui seemed to forget the predicament before him, suddenly becoming animated and speaking incessantly, "You are aware of this setting, which is why every time you take action to eliminate other Wudang players, you leave no room for risk and go for a complete extermination. As a result, although your actions are well-known, even if someone wanted to use the sect rules to deal with you, it would be impossible, because you have exploited a loophole in the setting." "You are aware of this setting, which is why every time you take action to eliminate other Wudang players, you leave no room for risk and go for a complete extermination. As a result, although your actions are well-known, even if someone wanted to use the sect rules to deal with you, it would be impossible, because you have exploited a loophole in the setting."

"That was merely because there were no NPCs present at the time, and hardly any players noticed such sect rules. However, if someone among the witnesses had reported you, what would the consequences be for harming a fellow disciple? You might as well read the Wudang sect regulations; I assure you it will provide you with a detailed answer," Liu Ruifeng said coldly

Liu Ruifeng had been pierced through the heart by a sword. When Dai Hui turned around in surprise, Liu Ruifeng had already transformed into a white light, reborn at the resurrection point. The stone steps were left strewn with all his equipment and items that had fallen from his bag. Dai Hui could not afford to ponder Liu Ruifeng's last words; his eyes immediately fell upon the pile of items, among which was the sword of the heroic Xiang Zhong. He almost exerted all his inner strength, rushing forward to quickly pick up the sword and place it into his bag.
