Chapter 697: No Way Out

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Sanguine Red was Sanguine Rain’s disciple and was the closest to him. Of course, the master-disciple relationship in the game was not as exaggerated as in real life. However, seeing how Sanguine Rain was despised, Sanguine Red could not hold back and stood up, sounding significantly angry.

Although Captain Don’t Open Fire was the boss, he did not dare to put on any airs in the face of these professional experts. After all, they were contracted professional experts. If they did not want to put in effort, there was nothing Captain Don’t Open Fire could do.

“Erm… nope,” Captain Don’t Open Fire said awkwardly.

If Quan Zhen Sect and Void Blade went head-on, there would be no time for words. They would have to just go all out and try not to be killed by Quan Zhen Sect.

“Head-on?” Just then, Big Bear Deng Deng An rubbed his chin and said, “I’ve got a way to force them to take us on head-on.”

“Oh? What way?” Sanguine Red asked as he looked at Big Bear Deng Deng An.

“Hehe, have you guys heard of giving them no way out?” Big Bear chuckled.

“…” Everyone paused for a moment, “You mean…”

“Yes, let’s just raid their guild headquarters. They will definitely come out! Even if they don’t, it’s alright. All headquarter battles will have system notifications…” Big Bear snickered.

“Right, Big Bear, what a great idea! We actually forgot about this!” Captain Don’t Open Fire excitedly said after hearing the idea.

Guild headquarters was the most important location for guilds. Infrastructure was gathered there and it was more convenient than queuing up in the main city. Furthermore, the guilds’ warehouses were also bigger than the main cities’ banks and so most of every player’s assets were kept in the guild warehouses.

In the system settings, if one side launches a headquarters battle, the other side will be deemed to have surrendered if they do not defend themselves. Also, everything in the headquarters will belong to the victor, including everything in the warehouse.

Therefore, if Void Blade launched a headquarter battle against Quan Zhen Sect, they will have to fight back or else their headquarters would be emptied by Void Blade, and no one could afford that to happen.

The most important thing was that a headquarters battle was a big deal and the system will make an announcement. If Void Blade could take out Quan Zhen Sect’s headquarters, all the messages from Sanguine Alliance on the forums would be exposed.

Captain Don’t Open Fire had been played with by Quan Zhen Sect and forgot such a direct method. Luckily, Big Bear’s thoughts were still clear and thought of this idea.

However, Sanguine Rain did not agree with it. He looked at Captain and Big Bear, and monotonously said, “I think we should be careful about the headquarters battle.”

“Why? Great Sanguine Rain, do you think the 4,000 of us in Void Blade cannot defeat the dozen of them in Quan Zhen Sect?” Big Bear Deng Deng An was upset seeing how Sanguine Rain questioned him.

“Not so…” Sanguine Rain shook his head and said, “I just feel that there is no meaning to this. Those guys are not easy to deal with, especially that Pugilist. I don’t know how to put it into words.”

Big Bear annoyedly said, “If you can’t explain it, then don’t. As the almighty Sanguine Rain, how could you belittle yourself? Hmph, I think you are traumatised, right?”

Big Bear looked at Sanguine Rain and his words were triggering.

“What did you say?” Sanguine Red could not hold back and wanted to fight back but Sanguine Rain held him back.

“Forget it, he is the boss. He has the final say.” Sanguine Rain said as he shook his head.

“Huh.” Big Bear looked at Sanguine Red and sneered, then said in the guild chat, “Quan Zhen Sect’s guild headquarters is in Dusk Canyon, let’s…”

“Sanguine Rain, why did you stop me?” Sanguine Red angrily asked Sanguine Rain through private chat.

Sanguine Rain smile, “As an Archer, you must know how to control your temper. Once you can merge with the sky as one, you will be able to shoot the perfect arrow.”

“But he…” Sanguine Red was still fuming mad.

Sanguine Rain said, “Let him be. If these guys don’t lose to Quan Zhen Sect, they will continue to belittle us.”

Just as Sanguine Rain finished, Big Bear Deng Deng An finished arranging everything on the guild chat. Most of the players in Void Blade had been defeated by Quan Zhen Sect so they still wanted revenge. Since they had this chance to fight them with majority, all of them were motivated to fight.

Big Bear arrogantly looked at Sanguine Rain then told the rest of Void Blade, “I believe that only cowards are afraid of their opponents and choose to use money to resolve problems…”

“Well said…” Void Blade’s players were aroused once more.

“Screw you…” Sanguine Red was so triggered by Big Bear’s actions that he turned red from anger, wanting to kill this arrogant idiot with an arrow.

Sanguine Rain smiled and comforted him, “Calm down, calm down, cowards who use money to resolve problems is referring to himself.”

<System Notification: <<REBIRTH>>> Year XXX, Void Blade has declared war on Quan Zhen Sect. We shall await to see who is the true winner.>

The system notification was sent three times, resounding throughout the entire main city’s sky.

Not many people paid attention to what was going on between Void Blade and Quan Zhen Sect and most people were just waiting for the conclusion. It was only after Sanguine Alliance interfered that so many gossip mongers were paying attention to this.

Now that the notification was out, those players in Twilight City who did not know what happened were stunned.

“Damn, headquarters battle? Is Void Blade for real this time around?”

“What, on the forum it is said that Void Blade was badly beaten by Quan Zhen Sect. Why are they declaring battle now?”

“You believe what was on the forum? It is probably Quan Zhen Sect’s doing. I think this time around Quan Zhen Sect is really gone. All of Void Blade’s professional experts are online.”

“Didn’t the forum say that the professional team had been exterminated…”

“Didn’t I say that all the forum news are planted…”

Suddenly, everyone in Twilight City was discussing this issue.

“Quan Zhen Sect’s winning odds is 1 to 10 while Void Blade’s winning odds is 1 to 1. Place your bets now…” Smart players were seizing this opportunity to earn a fortune.

Since Void Blade declared battle and had professional experts in their team, Quan Zhen Sect’s winning odds were very high…

Spring Halo’s old gambling habit was back. He could not help but ask Fearless, “Fearless, how much should we buy this time?”

“The winning odds are too low, not worth placing a bet!” Fearless said.

“Rubbish, how is 1 to 10 low?” Spring Halo said.

Fearless said, “I am referring to Void Blade’s winning odds!”

“What? What do you mean?” Spring Halo paused and asked, “You mean we can’t win?”

“Huh!” Fearless snickered, “What do you mean by can’t win? We have no intention of winning.”
