52: Chapter 52: Come over here!

Editor: Henyee Translations The attributes of the Frogskin Wristguard were quite good, and being part of a green set, its attributes would certainly be significantly enhanced if one could collect a full set.

The only regret was that although it was called a wristguard, it was in reality a type of gauntlet weapon.

Ye Weiming had not learnt any fist or leg martial arts up till now, and thus, he had no use for it.

He could only sell it for money.

As for that “Bag of Painful Rice”.

Damn it!

What on earth is this thing?

A bag of spoiled rice that you can’t discard or destroy!

Is it meant to permanently take up one of the player’s backpack spaces to make them feel the pain?

“Oh my!…”

Just as Ye Weiming was puzzling over what to do with this bag of rice, a surprised exclamation came from the other side of the battlefield.

He looked over to see that Bai Zhanji, who had been evenly matched with Lin Zhipei for so long, had finally succumbed to his opponent and been struck on his left flank, leaving a sword wound so deep it reached the bone.

In “Eternal Chivalry”, NPC-to-NPC battles also came in two different modes.

Ordinarily, in fights involving players, the combat mode would be basically similar to players fighting a Boss.

Although dangerous, most of the fight would be harmonized.

Despite the presence of pain, injuries would heal quickly, the only difference being a decrease in vitality value.

This would not really impact the remaining combat.

But NPC-to-NPC fights were actual real fights.

Any injuries received would not quickly heal and could even lead to impaired combat ability due to the pain.

Just how far could this impact reach?

That would depend on how serious the injury was and whether the injured party had strong determination.

Ye Weiming had serious doubts about the setup of this mission: If the player’s side does not resolve their battles, the NPCs can continue to be locked in stalemate indefinitely.

Yet, as soon as the players finish, Bai would immediately be injured, increasing the difficulty and tension for the players.

He had to say, this game designer is disdainful with his deplorable behavior!

Seeing that after being injured, Bai Zhanji had already fallen significantly behind, Ye Weiming was beyond complaining.

Instantly, he drew his sword, pointed his left hand towards Lin Zhipei who was about to deliver a fatal blow to Bai Zhanji, and yelled with all the power he could muster from his Dantian, “Come at me!”

Seeing this, Tang Sancolor was left speechless.

Here we go again…

Indeed, with Ye Weiming’s loud roar, Lin Zhipei immediately abandoned Bai Zhanji, who was on the brink of death, and charged towards Ye Weiming with fiery eyes.

Then, they engaged in close combat.

Once they crossed swords, Ye Weiming immediately felt an unprecedented pressure.

This level 35 Lin Zhipei standing before him was definitely several times tougher than the other two.

Whether in terms of internal strength, Qinggong or swordsmanship, Lin Zhipei had a clear advantage over Ye Weiming, and even with the absolute defense provided by the “phoenix-drawing dragon”, he still found it extremely difficult.

This was still under the circumstance where he had eaten the food to increase his attributes before the battle, boosting his arm strength by 97!

Without that, with his current capabilities, Ye Weiming would have been unable to hold on for more than three rounds against Lin Zhipei!

If it was a one-on-one duel, Ye Weiming might be fated to fall here today, as it would only be a matter of time for Lin Zhipei to take him down.

However, the current situation was not a one-on-one fight, but rather three against one.

As Ye Weiming took the initiative to withhold Lin Zhipei’s damage, Tang Sancolor immediately provided him with remote firepower support.

However, Lin Zhipei was not Ji Laiye.

Facing the two’s offensive and defensive tactics, Lin Zhipei was not afraid at all.

His longsword danced up and down, putting enough pressure on Ye Weiming while simultaneously deflecting all the hidden weapons shot by Tang Sancolor without missing a beat.

During this face-off, Ye Weiming wouldn’t even dare attempt to switch to the Yue Maiden Swordsmanship for offensive support.

He had a clear picture of his own strength.

If he dared to switch to the primarily offensive Yue Maiden Swordsmanship at this moment, his weaknesses in defense would be immediately exposed, basically offering his opponent a chance to kill him first.

So, even though he was stifled, Ye Weiming could only make an effort to spar with Lin Zhipei using the ‘Wandering Dragon Luring Phoenix’ technique.

Fortunately, this situation didn’t last long.

Bai Zhanji from the other side also knew that the two players at this stage were no match for Lin Zhipei.

After quickly bandaging the wound under his ribs, he joined the battlefield.

With Bai Zhanji’s involvement, the battle situation instantly turned around.

Even without mentioning his past achievements of chasing Lin Zhipei to a dead-end, his current combat power alone was enough to compete with Lin Zhipei.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Bai Zhanji and Lin Zhipei were on equal footing.

Despite being three against one, Lin Zhipei still had to take multiple hits.

However, in the situation where Ye Weiming did not dare to launch a counterattack, and Bai Zhanji’s attack was completely blocked, only Tang Sancolor’s hidden weapon attacks could hit him, taking off only several dozen points of his life each time, and not all of them were accurate.

In heated battle, out of every ten hidden weapons fired by Tang Sancolor, only about three or four would hit the target.

The others would either swerve, get knocked off, or would be forcefully repelled by the opponent’s Inner Strength.

Instead of saying that Lin Zhipei couldn’t withstand all of his attacks, it’s better to say that the opponent strategically sacrificed some vitality value to conserve Inner Strength.

In fact, the vitality taken off by Tang Sancolor was roughly equivalent to the rate at which Lin Zhipei auto-healed.

At this point, as Bai Zhanji engaged him fully, he explained to the two, “This Lin Zhipei was a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect.

He betrayed the sect and escaped, and later established the Lotus Stronghold.

Along the way, he plotted to kill a Huashan sword expert, acquiring the ‘Gale Speed Sword’ secret book from him, which greatly increased his martial arts skills.

You need to be very careful when dealing with him.”

Actually, there was no need for him to explain.

Both Ye Weiming and Tang Sancolor could see that Lin Zhipei’s swordsmanship was surprisingly fast, even preventing the three of them from taking full advantage of outnumbering him.

If things continued in this way, Bai Zhanji might be able to rely on his attribute advantage to keep draining Lin Zhipei, but the Inner Strength of Ye Weiming and Tang Sancolor would undoubtedly be consumed first.

When that time came, the situation would become more dangerous.

This can’t go on!

Deciding instantly, Ye Weiming quickly asked.

“Brother Bai, can you hold him off alone for about ten breaths’ time?”

“Only ten breaths?” Bai Zhanji was momentarily stunned before responding with a nod, “Absolutely no problem.”

“Then let’s rely on Brother Bai!” After saying that, Ye Weiming flashed out of the battle circle, sprinting towards Tang Sancolor who was attacking from a distance, Lin Zhipei wanted to obstruct him, but was stopped by the prepared Bai Zhanji.

Because the attack range of hidden weapons was also limited, after Ye Weiming moved quickly, he reached Tang Sancolor in the blink of an eye.

Even before Tang Sancolor could ask him anything, a trade request had already been sent.

Tang Sancolor first paused, before agreeing immediately.

Ye Weiming hurriedly placed a Mosquito Needle and a Seven Star Nail in the trade window, simultaneously explaining in the team channel, “The toxins on these two hidden weapons combined would be unbearable for even Yu Daidan in story mode, and although the effect could be reduced in battle mode, Lin Zhipei is surely not on par with Yu Daidan.

If he gets hit, his strength will definitely be affected.

However, there are only two chances left.

It’s up to you now!”

Poisonous hidden weapons!

Seeing these two hidden weapons, Tang Sancolor’s eyes brightened.

As a disciple of the Tang Sect, he knew quite well about the power of poison.

Unfortunately, since the game server had just launched, even he, the “senior brother” of the Tang Sect, had only made some progress in hidden weapons, so he hadn’t yet learned to poison weapons.

But even though he didn’t know how to poison hidden weapons, he knew how to use poisoned weapons.

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

With Tang Sancolor’s confident reply, Ye Weiming suddenly realised that where he was standing was actually quite spacious.

Therefore, he decided to not go back, pointing at Lin Zhipei again, and taunting, “Come at me!”
