It was understandable that the seven NPCs would watch at the side.

Using a ‘Kong’ generation elder to fight with Zhang Cuishan was already an act of bullying. If another bunch of ‘Yuan’ and ‘Hui’ generations of monks attacked him together, it wasn’t just a problem of bullying the young.

It was being shameless!

As the leader of the righteous clans, Shaolin couldn’t afford to humiliate themselves!

As for the PK of the players, they had to follow the rules of the system.

For this mission, the system’s allocation was players vs players and NPC vs NPC. This was to protect the game experience for the players and the fairness of the missions. Thus, the NPCs wouldn’t help the players with their fight.

Thus, the seven NPCs became the audience.

The battle quickly became heated.

On the NPCs side, Zhang Cuishan knew a set of kung fu that suited his style perfectly but his overall skills were still a level lower than Kong Xing. As time went by, Kong Xing started to gain the upper hand. If their fight continued, Zhang Cuishan would definitely lose. It was just a matter of time.

On the players’ side, the health of the players on both sides started decreasing. Ye Weiming had already lost half his health now. But, the four players that were fighting him were in a worse state. The player that was using a blade only had a quarter of his health left.

This was because Ye Weiming was more conservative. Casualties had already appeared on the other side. Two of the seven Wudang players were dead while three Shaolin players were killed. In terms of numbers, Shaolin still had the upper hand.

Normally, in this kind of situation, Ye Weiming would fight more ferociously and kill the player that had the least health so that he could gain more advantage. But, when he remembered what Yin Bukui shouted a moment ago, he suppressed his thought.

At this moment, the sky had turned completely dark.

Suddenly! A black figure shot out sideways from the bottom. The figure waved his arms several times and the seven audiences from Shaolin suddenly shuddered uncontrollably. Almost immediately, someone shouted, “Oh no! They are concealed weapons! It’s poisonous!”

After the shout, the seven people started inspecting their injuries. As for the black figure, he leaped up and fired multiple concealed weapons at the players on the battlefields. Concealed weapons rained down on them.

Ye Weiming was already on his guard the moment the black figure appeared. When he noticed that the figure wanted to attack him, he stepped on the ground with his toes and immediately executed his ‘Eight Step Chasing Toad’ to its fullest potential. He instantly escaped from the effective range of the concealed weapons.

Ye Weiming evaded beautifully but the others didn’t have his skills. Besides a few players, people from both sides were all injured by the black figure’s concealed weapons.

Wudang’s side suffered the most losses. When this black figure appeared, he attacked the seven NPCs from Shaolin first, giving the impression that he was on their side. They didn’t expect the black figure to attack them so you could imagine what the result was. Among the five Wudang players that were left, three turned into a flash of white light immediately.

Only Yin Bukui and another player holding the same model of judge pen as Zhang Cuishan managed to survive.

The Shaolin players weren’t faring any better. They were on their guards the moment the black figure appeared but the way this person attacked them was different from the way he attacked the Wudang disciples.

When he was attacking the Wudang disciples, the man in black used a more obvious concealed weapon. It was more powerful so the players with only a tiny amount of health left were killed instantly. However, when he was attacking the Shaolin players, he used a smaller concealed weapon that was harder to evade. Its power behind the weapons was lower but it was stained with lethal poison. At this moment, more than half of the Shaolin players had turned green. Their health kept dropping.

“Stop it!” Kong Xing shouted angrily. He had already given up on Zhang Cuishan and was rushing towards the black figure.

The black figure calmly waved his arms and more than ten concealed weapons flew towards Kong Xing furiously.

Kong Xing scoffed. “Party tricks.” Then he waved his sleeve to shoot down all the concealed weapons.

However, the black figure used the chance when Kong Xing was dealing with concealed weapons to escape.

The black figure came and left quickly. But, his appearance messed up the battle entirely. Wudang suffered heavy losses and the Shaolin players were all poisoned. Only Kong Xing was left. He wouldn’t dare to leave his juniors behind and chase after the enemy. He didn’t even have the time to care about Zhang Cuishan now.

Zhang Cuishan finally managed to escape from danger. He moved his body and grabbed the arms of the two Wudang disciples. Then he said, “Brother Weiming, follow me.” He executed his ‘Cloud Ascending Ladder’ lightness kung fu and ran far away.

So this black figure was the one who could change the situation!

Did Yin Bukui remind everyone to persevere because he knew that the black figure would appear?

Ding! Congratulations on completing the last minute mission ‘Helping the disciples of Wudang’. You received: EXP 5000, Cultivation 500, Reputation in pugilistic world 10.

Ye Weiming’s thoughts were broken by the notification from the system. Thereafter, his eyes lit up.

High risk gives high rewards. This was just a simple PK but he received the same rewards as a four-star mission!

Not bad, not bad…

Zhang Cuishan and the black figure escaped in different directions. When Kong Xing saw this, he gave up his thought of chasing after them entirely. Instead, he turned and moved quickly among the Shaolin NPCs and players. He tapped the bodies with his fingers to block their meridians in order to prevent the poison from spreading through their bodies.

As Kong Xing was treating the Shaolin disciples, Ye Weiming didn’t follow Zhang Cuishan immediately. He rushed back towards the direction where the Shaolin disciples were at. The badly injured Shaolin players were so frightened they kept retreating. However, Ye Weiming just bent down and picked up the few pieces of concealed weapons Kong Xing shot down a while ago. After making sure none were left behind, he executed his ‘Eight Step Chasing Toad’ and chased after Zhang Cuishan.

“Uncle-Grandmaster Kong Xing!” One of the Shaolin players noticed that Ye Weiming had actually picked up something before he left so he said, “Are you going to allow him to leave so arrogantly?”

“Amitabha!”

Kong Xing just chanted and ignored the Shaolin player. He continued using his internal energy to help Yuan Yin force the Mosquito Feeler Needle out of his body.

The moment the poisonous needle left his body, Yuan Yin felt much more awake. After gaining his bearings, he slapped the head of the Shaolin player who protested just now. “What do you know!”

“That arrogant brat is an official of the imperial court!”

“If it’s just a PK between players, it’s fine. However, if Uncle-Master Kong Xing attacked someone from the Divine Constable Bureau voluntarily, they might say that he is using violence to defy the law and even attacked an innocent law enforcement official. This is the less serious scenario. If they wanted to make it worse… All in all, it will just bring Shaolin trouble!”

…

Ye Weiming’s lightness kung fu was outstanding among the current players. However, it was still almost impossible for him to catch up with Zhang Cuishan. But, Ye Weiming wasn’t anxious at all because…

Ding! Wudang Sect’s Zhang Cuishan has invited you to the port at Qiantang to investigate the massacre of the Dragon Gate Escort together. The coordinates are…

Based on the coordinates, Ye Weiming found Zhang Cuishan and the rest of the people. Ye Weiming took out the two concealed weapons again without the other party asking and said, “I picked these up at the Fengbo Pavilion.”

“It’s the Mosquito Feeler Needle and the Seven Star Thorn again!” Zhang Cuishan’s eyes shimmered. He wanted to say something but in the end, he just gave a long sigh. Then, he continued, “Actually, we have already found some hints regarding the Dragon Slaying Sabre. Today, when Bukui was investigating the Seasand Clan, he received the news that the Flying Eagle Cult is organizing a blade appreciation event on Mount Wangpan. I would like to invite Brother Weiming to come along with us. What do you say?”

It seems like Mount Wangpan is the last segment of this five-star mission?

Ye Weiming was elated. He immediately cupped his hands and replied, “I’ll be delighted to!”
