Chapter 15: The Escalating Conflict

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

In order to take revenge, they avoided any direct contact with the Wandering Souls. As they continued their journey, they finally met the three players, two ladies and a man, at the entrance of the Ghost Mountains. They were the gamers who often killed other players and practiced stealing their potential kills.

Li Tianxia was extremely resentful when he saw the three players and intended to confront them directly. However, he was stopped by Wu Guoyi.

“Younger Brother Li, you should not act impulsively. They killed us and stole from us, so now we only have to retaliate. We have the upper hand now as we are currently out of their sights and have the chance to ambush them at the right time!”

Li Tianxia thought that Wu Guoyi’s advice made sense. Besides, he reckoned that it would be a better means for payback.

Therefore, the two of them shadowed the three players, occasionally concealing themselves with random objects.

Possessing the blue weaponry and having joined the game two days earlier than the rest of the players, Wu Guoyi’s level was considerably ahead of the other players. Hence, he was rather confident in fighting against the three players although he was alone with Li Tianxia.

It was unsurprising that Ye Xue’er and her company did not notice the two indignant men who were stalking them. They were absorbed in player killing and were excited to look for new targets.

It was evident that the number of players was reducing as they were drawing near the Ghost Mountains. However, they encountered two players who were working hand in hand to fight a Warrior of Wreckage. They immediately put on an evil wicked grin as they discreetly approached the two players, planning to kill and steal two players at the crucial moment.

Time quickly went by. When the Warrior of Wreckage was almost dying, Ye Xue’er and her friends were ready to take action.

As always, the Berserker went forward to block the two players while the two female assassins snuck behind their backs, preparing to ambush them.

The trick worked perfectly. The players fixed their eyes on the Warrior of Wreckage and were utterly oblivious to the presence of Ye Xue’er and her company. In a blink of an eye, the two gamers were knocked over. Before they could react, Ye Xue’er and her partner had already aimed at the vital parts of their bodies, struck an attack and killed them mercilessly.

Unfortunately, they did not have sufficient time to celebrate before two Berserkers who were hiding behind a nearby bush, showed themselves, each carrying a big sword in their hands.

Appalled, they stared at the two berserkers who were charging headlong at them and ruthlessly slashed the Berserker of their team.

The points of damage appeared right after the attack. Their Berserker was killed within a second and was now lying on the floor lifelessly.

Seeing that Ye Xue’er and her friend were still in a daze, Wu Guoyi unsparingly cut the Warrior of Wreckage open and took away the creature’s experience points. Then, he exchanged gazes with Li Tianxia and charged at Ye Xue’er and her partner.

Apparently, Ye Xue’er did not foresee that she would be ambushed. When she finally recomposed herself, Wu Guoyi and Li Tianxia were already standing right before her.

However, Ye Xue’er was not frightened. She immediately lifted her dagger and stabbed it at Wu Guoyi’s neck.

She was staggered to find that Wu Guoyi did not have the intention to dodge her attack at all. Instead, Wu Guoyi quietly suffered the attacks from both Ye Xue’er and her partner simultaneously.

Two damage points popped up in synchrony.

When Wu Guoyi lifted his luminous blue sword that was glowing brightly, Ye Xue’er was thrown into panic. Then, her surroundings slowly turned dim before the death notification eventually appeared.

After he killed Ye Xue’er, Wu Guoyi turned around and joined Li Tianxia to kill the other female assassin. They broke out in laughter as they showed their middle fingers to Ye Xue’er’s dead body.

As she continued to watch the scene, Ye Xue’er was so upset that she trembled with rage. She swore to herself that she would definitely give tit for tat.

……

In a certain mansion that was located at Indigo City, a lady, who was dressed in a long pink dress, sat quietly on the bed. Her long purple hair drooped down elegantly, resembling a beautiful waterfall. She looked extremely ravishing and graceful.

After a brief moment of shock, Ye Xue’er regained her composure. She grit her teeth as her face was painted over with absolute grumpiness.

She lowered her head to look at the virtual reality headset, feeling immensely bitter.

Revenge! I need to take revenge!

Furious, Ye Xue’er took out her mobile phone to dial a number.

Before long, the call was connected.

“Xue’er? How can I help you?”

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

After a long night of work, Ye Chen sounded rather exhausted. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Brother, someone bullied your younger sister and they were really awful!” Ye Xue’er threw a fit.

Upon listening to that, Ye Chen was stunned. Quickly, he was blasted by anger. After all, Ye Xue’er was the family’s favorite child. The man who tormented her was definitely trying to look for trouble.

“Tell me his name, Xue’er. I’ll vanquish him!” Ye Chen said in a menacing yet cold tone.

“He is a strong man. Bring more men over and I’ll wait for you at home!”

“Sure. I’ll bring my men over. You just wait for my arrival.”

Ye Chen hung up before he rudely pushed off the woman who was clutching his arm. She gave Ye Chen a confused stare as he hurriedly put on his clothes.

After he was dressed, Ye Chen took out his mobile phone to contact his friends.

I don’t care how strong you are. How dare you bully my sister? I’ll make sure you get the comeuppance you deserve.

Enraged, Ye Chen left his house and gathered all his male friends in front of a clubhouse. After a brief discussion, they decided to put on red bandanas on their arms to avoid accidentally injuring their own members. Together, they headed for the mansion.

When they arrived at the mansion, Ye Chen’s ferocious look terrified the butler.

Meanwhile, Ye Xue’er was already waiting at the hall of the mansion.

Upon seeing Ye Xue’er, Ye Chen approached her worriedly, “Xue’er, are you alright?”

“No, I’m not. I’m very angry right now!” Ye Xue’er sulked.

“I’ve brought along my men. Tell me. Who bullied you? We’ll finish him!”

Ye Xue’er was astonished when she saw almost a hundred men standing behind Ye Chen with weapons in their hands, “Do we need this many people?”

“You told me that the man was strong. I am afraid that we might not be able to defeat him. Therefore, I summoned more men to send aid.”

“You’re indeed my good brother!” Ye Xue’er squinted her eyes and put on a grin. Then, she pointed at some metal boxes that were placed nearby and ordered the butler, “Uncle Mu, distribute the items. Each of them gets one of these!”

“Sister, what’s this? We are all equipped with our own weapons!” Ye Chen was puzzled.

“The knives are useless. You need this!”

Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Ye Xue’er’s words, assuming that his younger sister had laid her hands on some restricted firearms. This must be something big, he thought.

However, they were all dumbfounded when they received the virtual reality headsets.

Just like the others, Ye Chen was stupefied. Do we need a virtual reality headset to fight?

“Sister, can you explain the situation to me? What happened?” Ye Chen asked, appearing extremely confused.

“Oh. Two shameless men kill-stole me in the game and killed me. Don’t you think that’s infuriating?”

“Yes… it is.”

“Yes. That’s very infuriating! So, are you going to help me?”

Ye Chen was completely flustered. However, he knew no other way to please his willful sister other than pampering her unconditionally.

“What are you waiting for? Get online, choose your character classes and we’ll assemble in the game. Then, you should all follow my younger sister to kill the man. You’ll be the one to get punished if you fail to take revenge on my sister’s behalf!”

Ye Chen glared and yelled at the awkward crowd.

……

With the large group of people, they were at an advantage. After Ye Xue’er resurrected her character, the team successfully located Wu Guoyi and Li Tianxia under Ye Xue’er’s lead. They surrounded Wu Guoyi and Li Tianxia before they effortlessly killed the two of them.

Naturally, the two big men of the game were upset. They immediately gathered some of their employees and other players who had been killed by Ye Xue’er to form a team in order to counter the attack.

The first ever extensive conflict in Battle Online had begun. Both of the squads continued to grow bigger and stronger, all determined to vanquish their opponents.
