Upon hearing these words, Liu Qinghong nodded and replied, “Fu Moyan, your target must be the Mountain Thieves of Mount Mingai too, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Even though I’m not sure why all these Mountain Thieves are gathered here, and there are even two characters among them that look like Bosses, I’m sure it’s not going to be easy for you to go up against so many enemies, right?”
Fu Moyan didn’t respond. Instead, he asked in return, “Liu Qinghong, what’s your mission?”
He went ahead to ask Liu Qinghong directly.
Fu Moyan didn’t think that Liu Qinghong would be wandering around this place for no good reason.
After all, Mount Mingai wasn’t an area that you could simply walk into any time.
If you just wanted to level up, many other areas were suitable for that purpose besides attempting to kill off the Mountain Thieves of Mount Mingai, and those areas carried lower risks.
Therefore, if Liu Qinghong purposely came here, he must have received a mission of sorts.
“And what is YOUR mission?” Liu Qinghong asked Fu Moyan the same question, which was as good as confirming Fu Moyan’s guess.
“I’m supposed to kill off the head of Mount Mingai, Niu Feng.”
“My mission is to kill off 50 Mountain Thieves. It seems like our missions are not conflicting,” said Liu Qinghong calmly with a smile as his eyes gleamed for a while.
If you compared the difficulty level of the two missions, Fu Moyan’s mission was higher in difficulty compared to Liu Qinghong’s.
After all, one only had to kill 50 Mountain Thieves, while the other had to kill the Mountain Thieves’ Boss.
And to kill the Boss, you had to get past all its ordinary minions first.
After that, Liu Qinghong got straight to the point, “I don’t know why all these Mountain Thieves are gathered together and how there seem to be two Bosses among them. Your team is pretty powerful, but I’m sure it’s still quite tricky for your team to face so many Mountain Thieves at once.”
“Since our missions aren’t conflicting, why don’t we join hands?”
“You help me with killing off at least 50 Mountain Thieves, and then I’ll help you with killing the Mountain Thieves’ Boss.”
“It’s a deal!”
The two of them reached an agreement in a very short time.
On the other side, Qin Shujian had noticed that Fu Moyan had suddenly appeared, but it didn’t stir up much emotion within his heart.
Whether it was an additional 20 more players or 20 players less, it no longer mattered to him, given his current stage of progression.
But Niu Feng was about to explode from his anger soon.
Liu Qinghong and Fu Moyan didn’t keep their voices down, so Niu Feng could hear everything they said very clearly.
They were talking about killing him to his face.
That was as good as pressing his face down onto the ground and rubbing it hard.
Niu Feng was even more embarrassed by the fact that Qin Shujian was here.
If not for the fact that he didn’t dare to make any move without receiving a command from Qin Shujian, Niu Feng would have already called all the Mountain Thieves together to thrash all these outlanders by now.
“Chieftain, Mount Mingai is now part of Liangshan Stronghold, and so since these outlanders are so bold, it means that they don’t have any regard for you. Your subordinate here is willing to lead a battle to kill off all these outlanders,” said Niu Feng with his head bowed toward Qin Shujian as he tried his best to suppress his fury.
Qin Shujian nodded his head slightly, “Go ahead.”
“Yes, Chieftain!” Niu Feng was instantly over the moon after getting the go-ahead.
Shortly after that, he commanded, “All of you, kill all these outlanders now!”
Once he said that Niu Feng was the first to make an attack. He ran out and swung the Nine Ring Saber in his hands down violently.
As for the other Mountain Bandits of Mount Mingai, they all held their knives and swords as they rushed towards Liu Qinghong and the other players.
SHHIIIING!
A long sword was unsheathed from its scabbard.
Fu Moyan held his metal sword as he spun it beautifully in his hands and dashed forward as well.
PING!
The two blades clashed, causing countless sparks to fly.
Fu Moyan felt a huge force surge through the body of the sword, causing his arm to shiver. His body couldn’t help but take a few steps back from the impact.
“He’s the Boss of Mount Mingai, alright. He’s highly skilled!” Fu Moyan’s expression turned grim. It only took one exchange for him to have a rough idea of what Niu Feng was capable of.
But in the next moment, Niu Feng swung his saber violently again.
The extreme biting wind that was caused by this swing made Fu Moyan immediately choose to dodge instead of taking the attack head-on.
The moment Fu Moyan moved back, Niu Feng continued to press forward. His Nine Ring Saber kept swinging about like it was a weapon that could kill. The terrifying gleam of the blade made one’s heart feel cold.
His cultivation method was the Mountain Breaking Knife Technique.
It was a technique that was extraordinarily forceful and extremely ferocious.
This particular technique relied on gaining momentum.
The more momentum one gained, the more frightening the swing of each blade would become.
And each time Fu Moyan took a step back, it helped to give Niu Feng momentum, enabling Niu Feng to display his Mountain Breaking Knife Technique fully. Fu Moyan was no longer able to counterattack, and he had no choice but to keep defending himself.
On the other side, the other Mountain Bandits were also engaged in battle with the other players.
These players had clearly come prepared.
They were faced with the attack of so many Mountain Bandits at the same time, but they all worked together systematically as they attacked the Mountain Bandits and tried their best to ensure they killed enough of them.
...
As for Qin Shujian, he remained where he was and didn’t do anything at all.
He was going to take this opportunity to see precisely how powerful Niu Feng and his folks were.
PING! PING!
The gleam of knives and shadows of swords flew everywhere, interspersed with the loud clanging noises they made when their blades met.
Fu Moyan kept getting pushed back and didn’t have any of the pride he had earlier.
“Liu Qinghong, aren’t you going to come and help me?!”
He didn’t care about being polite anymore. He gave a loud shout after fending off one of Niu Feng’s attacks with his sword.
“Coming!”
When Liu Qinghong saw what was happening on the other side, he immediately stopped killing the Mountain Bandits in front of him. He dashed out quickly and aimed a palm towards Niu Feng’s back.
There were a lot of Mountain Bandits, so if Fu Moyan couldn’t hold the boss off and the boss became able to kill alongside the Mountain Bandits, then their already low chances of winning would become even scarcer.
And so, the minute Fu Moyan called for help, Liu Qinghong immediately came to his rescue.
...
Niu Feng felt the gush of wind come for his back. His body froze, then swung the blade originally meant for Fu Moyan in the other direction instead.
Retreat!
The moment he saw Niu Feng turn, Liu Qinghong’s body immediately retreated like a willow plant.
The Nine Ring Saber slashed the air, but the biting wind from that swing made his skin feel some pain.
“What a powerful Boss!” Liu Qinghong couldn’t help but inhale sharply from the pain.
Now he finally understood why Fu Moyan already needed assistance even though they hadn’t fought for long.
Just the wind from the swing of the blade already made his skin feel painful.
Someone with such an ability was definitely no simple or ordinary Martial Entry-Level Five boss.
With the help of Liu Qinghong, Fu Moyan finally had the chance to make an attack.
The sword in his hand was straight, and the gleam of the blade shone across the sword, like flowing water as it immediately gave off an air of coldness.
Fu Moyan had paid quite a high price to finally learn a Mortal Tier Mid-Grade technique called Flowing Water Cloud Sword.
And it was also this technique that had catapulted him to become one of the top players of Starter Village #23012.
Fu Moyan was on one side, and Liu Qinghong was on the other.
The two of them were no match for Niu Feng if they fought him one-on-one, but now that they were working together, they were on par with Niu Feng.
But neither Liu Qinghong nor Fu Moyan felt any more relaxed than they were before. On the contrary, their hearts were even heavier now.
Just one Boss was already this powerful.
But, there was more than one Boss in this place.
When they thought about this, the two of them couldn’t help but steal glances at the unmoving Qin Shujian who just stood and watched by the side.
They hadn’t forgotten how Niu Feng was so deferential to this other character.
That character over there...
Perhaps he was truly the biggest Boss of Mount Mingai.
