One Against Five

"Bang~!" With a sound, the air inexplicably exploded, and a player with a terrified expression revealed his true form from the air amidst the fiery light.

"-135" (Stunned for two seconds)

Xiao Liang was just about to ask Lu Yang what he was doing when he saw a player inexplicably appear behind him, and subconsciously shouted, "It's a thief!"

The thief was stunned by Lu Yang's attack and asked in horror, "How did you know I was behind you?"

Lu Yang sneered and said, "Because your level is too low. I'm already level 4. Can't I see you, a level 1 noob, following me?"

"What?" The thief suddenly felt like an idiot. He thought Lu Yang hadn't noticed him all along. It turned out he was just being played like a monkey. Embarrassed and angry, the thief said resentfully, "Don't think you're so great just because you're a high level. I'm not here to kill you, just to track you."

Lu Yang asked, "Speak, who sent you?"

The thief said arrogantly, "My boss is Black Blood. You dare offend even him? He's already sent elites. Just wait and see how you die."

"I don't know how I'll die, but I know how you'll die." Lu Yang conjured a Fireball in his hand and hurled it at the thief.

The thief only had 160 Blood Essence in total. After being hit by Flame Impact for 135 points, he only had 25 points left. Facing a mage and a warrior, he had no ability to dodge, so he simply stopped resisting and let Lu Yang easily send him back to the city.

System Prompt: You killed someone!

Xiao Liang asked anxiously, "Boss, what do we do now?"

Black Blood's reputation had already taught Xiao Liang a lesson. The level 1 monster area on one side of the Flower Whisper Plains was reserved for leveling by Black Blood's subordinates.

Lu Yang said indifferently, "Don't worry, you hide to the side and watch how your boss kills them."

"Boss, are you going to fight the people Black Blood sent alone?" Xiao Liang asked in disbelief.

Lu Yang said, "Not fight, but slaughter."

At this level, players' strength is generally not high. It's only been two days since the game started, and everyone is still a newbie. Even if Black Blood's elites have equipment, it can't be better than Lu Yang's. What's more, Lu Yang has more than ten years of experience and knows the simplified spells of fire mages.

On the other side, about 500 yards away from Lu Yang, five figures were rapidly approaching from a distance.

The leading warrior was wearing black armor, holding a knife in his right hand, and a green bead in his left hand. Beside him was a hunter wearing leather armor, who was currently using Sprint, increasing the movement speed of the entire team by 10%. The other three people in the team were a mage, a priest, and a thief.

"Be careful, everyone. The hunting dog responsible for surveillance was discovered and killed by him. That guy has some strength," said the warrior, Golden Eagle.

"What?" The thief in the team, Wind Seeker, cursed, "This guy is the one the boss wants us to kill. Don't let him run away."

As he spoke, Wind Seeker saw Lu Yang standing in the open space of the grassland in the distance, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face. He shouted, "That guy is in front, we've caught up with him."

The warrior Golden Eagle was originally worried that the man would run away and they would be scolded by the boss, but he didn't expect them to actually catch up.

"Let's go together, don't let him run away," Golden Eagle said excitedly.

"Don't worry, he definitely won't be able to run." The thief Wind Seeker suddenly activated the acceleration skill - Sprint, increasing his movement speed by 30%. Wind Seeker rushed towards Lu Yang at a high speed.

The priest in the team frowned and said, "Be careful, you're also a red name. I can't Heal you from too far away."

"Do I need healing to kill him? Watch how I abuse him." The thief Wind Seeker was very confident in his skills. In the entire Eternal Bliss Paradise, his thief skills were ranked first.

In fact, each of the five people who came this time were absolute elites under Black Blood. In a one-on-one fight, each of them was a capable expert in the guild.

"Entangle him, we'll be there soon," said the mage in the team.

"You guys better hurry up." As he spoke, Wind Seeker had already run to within 30 yards of Lu Yang. He drew a crossbow from behind and jumped into the air, shooting an arrow at Lu Yang.

"See where you can run." Wind Seeker said with a mocking expression.

"Courting death." A huge fireball, twice as bright as Fireball, suddenly appeared in Lu Yang's hand. Lu Yang threw it at Wind Seeker.

Pyroblast
Type: Fire Spell
Consumption: 30 Mana
Casting Time: 5 seconds
Distance: 35 yards
Description: Launches a scorching fireball at the target, dealing 36-42 points of fire damage to the target, with a knockback effect.

Wind Seeker was in mid-air at this time. He never expected that Lu Yang would suddenly throw Pyroblast at this time.

"Bang~!" With a sound.

"-144"

Wind Seeker was directly killed on the ground. The level 2 thief with full agility only had 100 health. Before he died, he couldn't figure out how Lu Yang could instantly release Pyroblast, which required 5 seconds of chanting.

Little did he know that Lu Yang, who had unlocked the free mode, knew how to simplify spells. Pyroblast, as the most important output skill of fire mages in later generations, had long been researched by a group of fire mage masters to have a casting time of only 0.7 seconds, so Lu Yang could release it as if it were instant.

The warrior Golden Eagle and the mage who followed were stunned by Lu Yang's spell damage.

"He actually killed Wind Seeker in seconds, how much spell damage does he have?" the mage asked.

"I don't know, and I felt like he didn't read seconds when he used Pyroblast just now," the hunter asked.

"Does he have Presence of Mind this skill?" the priest asked.

Presence of Mind can instantly cast spells, but the cooldown time is 2 minutes.

Golden Eagle said, "Forget it, kill him first, everyone come with me, pay attention to the formation."

"Mm." The mages and others put away their contempt, each showing a solemn expression.

As the four approached Lu Yang within 50 yards, the hunter and mage ran sideways from behind the warrior, while the priest remained in place behind the warrior. The four formed a fan shape, surrounding Lu Yang.

"I'll go first." The Golden Eagle closed to 30 yards and suddenly used the Charge skill on Lu Yang.

Charge is a warrior's primary control skill in PK, not only allowing them to cover 30 yards in a mere second to reach their opponent, but also stunning them for one second.

If Lu Yang was stunned for that one second, the hunter, mage, and warrior could follow up with enough damage to kill him. Faced with this situation, Lu Yang remained calm. Just as the Golden Eagle was about to collide with Lu Yang, a golden-yellow aura of flames erupted from Lu Yang's body.

Flame Shield
Type: Fire Spell
Cost: 10 Mana
Cast Time: Instant
Range: 5 yards
Description: Releases a powerful pushing force around the caster, pushing enemies away. The greater the level difference, the farther the push.

With a "Bang," the Golden Eagle, who had charged towards Lu Yang, was suddenly blasted backward by the Flame Shield, staggering more than ten steps away.

The mages and hunter on either side hadn't expected the Golden Eagle's charge to fail. The mage was currently chanting Frostbolt. If hit by Frostbolt, Lu Yang's movement speed would be reduced by 30%. However, there was no way Lu Yang would allow the mage to cast the skill.

After blasting the warrior away, Lu Yang used the Spell Counter skill with a backhand.

Spell Counter
Type: Universal Spell
Cost: 10 Mana
Cast Time: Instant
Range: 35 yards
Description: Counters the target's current spell, preventing them from casting any spells of that school for 12 seconds.

A flash of light, and Lu Yang successfully countered the mage's ice spell. Just then, the hunter's arrow arrived, a poison arrow mixed with Serpent Sting appearing in front of Lu Yang. With no time to spare, Lu Yang used Blink to appear 3 yards away from the hunter.

The bow in the hunter's hand was automatically and forcibly switched out by the system, replaced with a long-handled wooden stick.

"What, what's going on? Why can't I use my bow?" The hunter was stunned.

The warrior Golden Eagle shouted, "Retreat! He's in your bow's blind spot. Step back one yard and you can use your bow again."

The hunter knew about the bow's blind spot, but Lu Yang's sudden attack had thrown him into disarray. Hearing this, he reacted and immediately retreated. However, as the hunter retreated one step, Lu Yang moved forward one step. As the hunter retreated two steps, Lu Yang moved forward two steps. The hunter angrily stepped forward, wanting to hit Lu Yang with his weapon, but Lu Yang retreated one step, always staying in the hunter's weapon's blind spot.

Seeing this, sweat poured down the hunter's head. After playing games for so many years, this was the first time he had been forced into such an embarrassing situation.

"Don't worry, I'll help you." The warrior, having regained his footing, used the Intercept skill on Lu Yang.

Intercept is the warrior's second control skill, with the same effect as Charge. However, just as the Golden Eagle started Intercept and before he could charge towards Lu Yang, Lu Yang began chanting Pyroblast again. 0.7 seconds later, a Pyroblast accurately hit the warrior.

With a "Bang," the Golden Eagle involuntarily leaned back, his Intercept interrupted, and a "-147" appeared above his head.

"Heal me, quick!" The warrior shouted.

The priest immediately began chanting the spell Heal, but Heal's casting time was 3 seconds. Before the priest could finish chanting, Lu Yang's second Pyroblast arrived.

With a "Bang," the warrior Golden Eagle was killed on the spot, and a green bead dropped to the ground. At this time, the priest was halfway through his chant.

"How, how are this mage's Pyroblasts instant cast?" The priest asked excitedly.

"It's not instant cast, I saw him casting, mage, quick, Spell Counter him." The hunter was closest to Lu Yang and saw Lu Yang's casting method clearly.

However, seeing it clearly and being able to counter it were two different things. With only 0.7 seconds of casting time, even a top-tier mage would find it difficult to master this timing. Watching as Lu Yang's next Pyroblast reduced the priest to low health, he had no choice but to blindly use Spell Counter on Lu Yang.

The result was self-evident: the counter failed!

Seeing this, the priest, terrified, abandoned his companions and turned to run. However, how could Lu Yang let a low-health priest escape? Seeing that Flame Impact had finished cooling down, he aimed at the priest's back and released the spell.

With a "Bang."

"-135"

The priest was killed on the spot.

At this point, only the mage and hunter remained on the field. Lu Yang became more excited as he fought. After being reborn, this was his first PK. To show off his skills, Lu Yang continued to stay 3 yards away from the hunter. At the same time, he no longer used Spell Counter to restrict the opposing mage's output, instead using Pyroblast to go head-to-head with the opposing mage.

Unfortunately, Lu Yang only needed 0.7 seconds to cast Pyroblast, while the opposing mage needed 2.5 seconds to cast Frostbolt. Before Frostbolt could be cast, Lu Yang landed a Pyroblast on the mage.

"-142"

A level 2 mage with a full magic build only had 96 health, and was directly killed by Lu Yang.

Lu Yang turned to look at the hunter and said, "You're the only one left."

The hunter, facing Lu Yang's ferocity, was already terrified and didn't dare to fight Lu Yang anymore. He turned and ran back as if his life depended on it. Unfortunately, he didn't run two steps before two Pyroblasts hit him one after another.

After two "Bang" sounds, the hunter also died on the ground.

One versus five, Lu Yang won perfectly!
