Black Tiger Escort Agency boasted three major escorts who were sworn brothers.

The eldest, 'Black Tiger' Peng Chun, was the strongest— a Sixth Grade Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. With True Qi emanating externally, he could pluck flowers and leaves from the air to injure people.

The second brother, 'Jumping Tiger' Guan Xing, and the third, 'Sick Tiger' Chen Fei, were both Seventh-Grade Martial Artists with Body Perfection status. Once they donned their armor, no number of ordinary soldiers could touch them—they'd be delivering themselves like vegetables!

"Jinxiu Scholar is really useless, as is Zhang Aniu. They actually let someone breach Woniuzhai and we have to clean up their mess!" Chen Fei complained as they hurried along.

Even though he ran like a horse, he remained composed and calm, clearly possessing extraordinary endurance. "They even talk about an 'indestructible body.' Do you believe that?"

"Of course not, it must have been some low-grade Taoist who fell for an Illusion Technique..." Guan Xing said.

A Taoist could be of the Ninth Grade, proficient in various spells!

However, a Taoist below the third grade could only cast simple deceptions. If a Martial Artist got close, they'd be undoubtedly defeated, so they had nothing to fear!

"I've heard those storytellers. Villains always come one by one—how foolish is that?"

Guan Xing said, "This time the three tigers are striking together. Big brother will cover us in the rear. He's a master of Internal Breath and the strongest man in Three Elements City. Nothing will go wrong!"

In a blink, it was midnight.

Woniuzhai loomed ahead.

For Martial Artists, they preferred to operate at night, which protected them and made it harder to become targeted en masse.

Upon seeing that Woniuzhai was unguarded, Guan Xing and Chen Fei couldn't help but laugh, "We'll go first; big brother will cover us!"

"Don't worry, my wise brothers. This time, we'll kill Pu Dongyun directly. The legendary treasure map might not even be real, and keeping him alive is a menace."

A faint voice reached their ears.

Guan Xing and Chen Fei exchanged glances, nodded, and approached the wooden palisade, easily flipping over.

Peng Chun, hiding in the shadows, watched silently, ready to provide support or flee at a moment's notice.

His meticulous mind had his younger brothers take the lead as a precaution.

Then, the Night Vision of the Martial Artist allowed him to spot a huge dog head, black and white mingled.

Bang!

He reflexively leaped back a great distance, his voice booming, "A monster!?"

The giant dog head seemed somewhat doltish as it suddenly opened its enormous mouth and roared, "Ao wu... heng ha!"

Soul Crushing Divine Skills!

Peng Chun's expression abruptly became blank, as if he couldn't move at all.

Then, when he regained his senses, he saw a huge dog head in its true form falling from the void, biting into half of his body.

...

Inside Woniuzhai.

Seeing the message on the forum, many more players logged online.

However, expecting gamers to stand guard for hours on end was utterly impossible.

'Dora Mi,' a hardcore otaku in real life, adored playing various novel games and collecting skins and mounts.

Then, he was drawn to a forum that mentioned a 100% Virtual Reality game—"Game Different World." He purchased the gaming equipment for a high price, successfully entered the game, and was then stunned by its realism.

"Ah ah ah... Oh heavens... developers... please give me a recharge option, I want to buy skins..."

Dora Mi clasped his hands in prayer, then saw two dark shadows descending from the sky.

Puff!

Before he even understood what was happening, he was already kneeling.

In the next instant, a flash of white light, and he stood back up, facing two fierce-looking, towering Martial Artists who then bellowed across the village with their hoarse voices, "Monster attack!!!"

"What?"

"The monsters are here?"

"Where, where?"

"Idiot, look at the mini-map!"

In an instant, Woniuzhai seemed to come to life, as countless players emerged and encircled Guan Xing and Chen Fei.

"Brother, something seems off."

Chen Fei had personally punched "Dora Mi" to death just moments ago, knowing the man couldn't be deader.

But in the next moment, the opponent was shouting and bouncing around, ruining their perfect stealth entrance by making it a joke.

What was even more unexpected was that in the darkness, those strange creatures didn't seem to panic or search, they had locked onto their location directly!

After all... the two red dots on the mini-map were quite prominent.

"Change of plans, take out their leader first!"

Guan Xing's face flashed with killing intent, and he pounced like a spirit cat, his fist roaring like a tiger, smashing into the chest of a player.

The player's chest caved in as if Zhang Aniu had struck him with a copper hammer, retreating to smash against a wall, blood splattering everywhere.

"Damn, this monster's tough, even stronger than the last boss."

A player screamed.

The opponent was bare-handed and yet delivered a blow as if wielding a heavy hammer!

"Is this what martial arts is? I really want it!"

"Ha ha, look at that fool, pasted on the wall."

Guan Xing and Chen Fei felt their scalps tingle, seeing that these people were not only free from anger and fear at the death of their companion, but they were continuously mocking, feeling like something was about to snap in their heads.

"That one's mine, nobody else touch him!"

The next instant, with a flash of light, the player smashed against the wall stood up, cursing.

"Immortal! It's actually true!"

Guan Xing already felt the urge to retreat, "It's best to run first!"

"They're trying to run, shoot arrows at them!"

Jiang Shang saw this and immediately shouted.

A player immediately raised an object in his hand, Chen Fei's eyelids twitched as he twisted in mid-air, narrowly missing a crossbow arrow.

"What a pity!"

ID 'Light of the Stars', a player who was a craftsman in real life, had wanted to create a mighty weapon ever since entering the game, and only after breaking into Woniuzhai did he have enough materials to support his work.

But he hadn't expected that when the crossbow arrow was made, it would be ineffective on its first shot.

"There are even crossbows!"

Guan Xing looked at a few players holding bows and crossbows blocking the retreat path and couldn't help but feel intense hatred.

In ancient times, the government wouldn't ban knives and bows but would undoubtedly ban iron armor and crossbows! It was precisely because pairing these two together resulted in too much lethality!

Even though he was a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist and claimed to be at Body Perfection, he was still flesh and bone. Although his defense had increased and being hit in a vital spot probably wouldn't kill him, getting injured increased the likelihood of being surrounded and killed.

"Capture the leader first!"

Guan Xing let out a roar, which was both a signal and a message to the outside world, asking their leader "Black Tiger" Peng Chun to come and rescue.

But he didn't know, it was merely wishful thinking.

At that moment, Sick Tiger and Jumping Tiger exchanged glances, and both rushed down like tigers descending the mountain into the group of players, moving swiftly as spirit cats. Each punch and palm carried formidable power.

Even if the players were wearing leather armor and holding shields, they couldn't withstand three punches and two kicks, and were beaten to death one by one.

They charged directly at their target, who was clearly marked, the one with white hair!

It was obvious that he was the one giving orders, not to mention that his white hair was very conspicuous under the torches and moonlight.

In ancient military formations, a white horse was considered a bad omen, for this very reason.

Riding a white horse, mixed in the army, stood out like a red flower amidst green leaves, easily drawing hostility and concentrated fire!
