"-9"
This was the damage that Yuncheng Emperor dealt to Jiang Bai.
"-219"
"-40"
The first number was the damage Jiang Bai dealt to Yuncheng Emperor after using the skill Aimed Shot, and the second was the true damage added by the weapon.
Yet, Yuncheng Emperor's health was only 180 points!
The moment the arrow was shot, the entire world seemed to slow down into a replay. Everyone watched as the arrow, shimmering with ice crystals, plunged straight into Yuncheng Emperor's body.
And then, Yuncheng Emperor's health bar was instantly cleared!
"Instant kill!!!"
This scene was surreal enough to be dreamlike!
The moment Yuncheng Emperor fell to the ground and turned into a corpse shocked everyone.
In an instant, the entire area fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone's mouths were agape, staring at Yuncheng Emperor's corpse with expressions as if they had seen a ghost, seemingly unable to react.
"Clang..."
It was unknown whose weapon fell to the ground in the crowd, and then the crowd erupted into chaos.
"Whoa!"
"Killed in one shot!"
"My god..."
"This is like seeing something with your own eyes for the first time!"
"Is this a GM?"
"This is Yuncheng Emperor, level 5, the leader of Yuncheng, and he was just killed like that?"
Compared to the astonishment of the crowd, the other thirty-three members of the Yuncheng Guild were even more shocked by another issue.
"-9"
This number made them completely question their existence.
Who was Yuncheng Emperor?
The highest-level, best-equipped, full-attack-focused archer in the entire Yuncheng Guild. If anyone had the highest attack in the guild, it was him, so how could an arrow deal such a pitiful amount of damage?
"9 points of damage???"
"Is this even human?"
"He's an archer, right? Where's the supposed thin health and low defense?"
For a moment, the people of Yuncheng were stunned. The once confident and aggressive group became like headless flies.
It was unknown who shouted, but they regained some clarity.
"Damn it, the boss is dead, what are we standing around for? Let's avenge the boss. We can grind him to death with our numbers!"
"Get that bow out of his hands, even if we have to die, it's worth it!!!"
This statement reignited the fighting spirit of the Yuncheng Guild. Speaking of combat power, these thirty-three individuals were among the best that Yuncheng could muster at the moment.
The scene instantly descended into chaos. From mages to warriors, from archers to fighters, more than thirty people charged at Jiang Bai all at once. The damage they dealt was, of course, pitiful.
"-2"
"-5"
"Miss"
"-1"
"-1"
...
Apart from misses, all the damage was in single digits, with the highest not exceeding five points.
The idea was good, but reality was far more brutal.
When they finally managed to chip away a sliver of Jiang Bai's health bar, his 5% life-steal skill immediately refilled it. After several such attempts, the people of Yuncheng were utterly demoralized.
Because under these circumstances, Jiang Bai simply could not die!
Yet their own numbers were dwindling.
From thirty to twenty, and finally down to just over ten, Jiang Bai stood his ground, never moving, standing his ground like a deity descended from the heavens, leaving onlookers agape. "My god... an archer standing his ground against thirty-three Yuncheng experts, this is too amazing..."
"Awesome, just awesome! This is my idol!"
Some people were so excited that their faces turned red.
Challenging an entire guild by oneself was an extremely passionate act.
"No wonder Empty City Old Dream had the courage to challenge the entire Yuncheng, this is just too strong!"
...
The onlookers were thrilled, and Jiang Bai was equally enjoying the fight. In the blink of an eye, the thirty-three Yuncheng experts were reduced to a mere seven or eight people, all of whom were ranged classes. These individuals had already been completely broken by Jiang Bai and had no desire to continue fighting.
Thus, they ignored the emperor's shouting in the chat and fled directly.
These few people had turned red-named, and Jiang Bai naturally had no reason to let them go.
Arrow after arrow flew, and head after head fell. Except for the last three who were out of Jiang Bai's attack range, the rest all became victims of Jiang Bai's blade.
At this point, the situation gradually calmed down.
The surrounding players had long been stunned into silence.
"This is more thrilling than a movie, too exciting!"
"Whoa... too strong, taking on thirty-three Yuncheng experts alone! I can't handle this!"
A young girl jumped out, "Now I unilaterally declare, 'Empty City Old Dream' is my husband!"
"Go die, he's clearly my husband..."
"You bitch, dreaming on..."
...
At this moment, Jiang Bai had already picked up a few pieces of loot nearby and was heading deeper into the jungle.
To be honest, he wasn't interested in these pieces of loot. They were all low-level white equipment, worthless. And Yuncheng Emperor's green bow didn't drop, otherwise it would have been worth quite a bit of money.
Once things quieted down, Jiang Bai noticed that his private chat interface was going crazy with notifications.
Upon opening it, he saw messages from Tang Dynasty Innocent sent ten minutes ago.
Tang Dynasty Innocent: "Brother, I heard Yuncheng's people surrounded you? Do you need help?"
Tang Dynasty Innocent: "Why aren't you responding, brother? If you need it, I can send people over anytime."
Seeing these two messages, Jiang Bai felt an inexplicable warmth and replied immediately.
"Thanks, brother. The problem has been resolved."
Tang Dynasty Innocent replied instantly, "That's good. If you need help in the future, just let me know."
It has to be said that although Tang Dynasty Innocent didn't provide any substantial help, his actions earned Jiang Bai a considerable amount of goodwill.
Resurrection Point.
Yuncheng Emperor's face was ashen, especially when he saw his level drop to 4, which fueled his inner rage even more.
In Genesis, there is a rule that players level 5 and above drop a level upon death from PK, so the hard-earned level of Yuncheng Emperor was wasted just like that.
"I underestimated the strength of Empty City Old Dream!"
"I didn't expect that even with more than thirty brothers, we couldn't take him down!"
At this moment, Yuncheng Emperor was grinding his teeth in anger, yet there was nothing he could do.
"Empty City Old Dream, I will make you pay! I will!!!"
In his fury, Yuncheng Emperor couldn't help but growl in a low voice.
...
Jiang Bai, of course, couldn't feel the frustration of Yuncheng Emperor. At this moment, he was quickly slaughtering level 4 Iron-Backed Boars, needing to level up to 4 as soon as possible.
One boar was worth 20 experience points, and it would only take 25 boars.
Now, with two arrows per boar, and a critical hit could take one down in one shot, Jiang Bai's monster-killing speed was simply out of this world.
Just as he was enjoying the thrill of killing, a bold and red, eye-catching font on the public chat screen caught Jiang Bai's attention.
"Server-wide announcement! Server-wide announcement! The Yuncheng Guild officially declares a server-wide bounty on the player 'Empty City Old Dream.' Anyone providing the coordinates of 'Empty City Old Dream' will be richly rewarded!"
The same content was repeated three times, showing that Yuncheng really hated Jiang Bai.
"Hmph."
Seeing Yuncheng's announcement, Jiang Bai just gave a cold smile, completely unfazed.
"Overestimating themselves."
