As Frost Hook let out a battle cry, the five swords that were sent out flew back towards him.
Four out of five swords soared towards Wang Yu and Wang Yu felt a sense of killing intent from the swords. The four swords arranged themselves neatly in the air and merged into a formation with the last sword in Frost Hook’s hand.
At that moment, Frost Hook took a step forward to thrust the sword forward towards Wang Yu’s skull.
Wang Yu lowered his head and saw the oncoming Frost Hook. He intuitively knew what Frost Hook was trying to do. Wang Yu drove his legs into the ground and shot directly towards Frost Hook’s legs. He continued his attack by lashing out a kick at Frost Hook’s lower jaw.
Facing Wang Yu’s counterattack, Frost Hook was momentarily stunned. As Wang Yu’s legs were about to reach him, he hurried recalled all of six blades to create a makeshift blade shield. He was able to stop Wang Yu’s offensive but he was also sent flying in the distance.
Wang Yu did not want to intentionally hurt anyone in this fight. If he was not pulling back, he would have definitely followed through on his kick on Frost Hook. Even if Frost Hook was a Tank, he would not be able to remain unscathed from the exchange.
“F**k, what am I even seeing?”
Seeing that Wang Yu was able to counterattack even though he was previously suppressed and contained by Frost Hook, the crowd let out gasps of shock.
Frost Hook was not an ordinary Warrior. He actually had a Hidden Branch Job that was one of the strongest among the warrior class, a Sword Spiriter.
A Sword Spiriter could not only learn basic Warrior skills, but they also had access to a suite of specialised skills. In combat, they could wield blades and direct them towards their opponent. Thus, their potential damage output was far beyond any ordinary Warrior.
This profession was extremely versatile. It was proficient in long-ranged or close combat. It was seemingly so overpowered that it was almost called a ‘BUG’ in beta testing.
In particular, when one threw out the five blades, the blade could be recalled using [Return of a Thousand Blades] to potentially strike the target a second. This would cause the opponent to sustain horrifying damage.
Under the suppression of [Return of a Thousand Blades], Wang Yu went into hiding. However, he also started his counterattack. Such an ability to stay calm and react strategically in the face of an unfavourable situation was extremely terrifying. Even Long Chengfei in his prime was not up to this standard.
“What a lad!” Frost Hook did not know that Wang Yu was not going all out. He landed steadily on the ground and without missing a single beat, he rushed towards Wang Yu with his blade in his hand.
Wang Yu jumped backwards out of Frost Hook’s effective attack radius. Frost Hook had no choice but to cancel his skills. He leapt in the air and executed [Mountain Shattering Blow].
Wang Yu stretched out and wanted to drag Frost Hook out of mid-air. However, Frost Hook cancelled his skill yet again and now unleashed [Tornado Slash].
“Wow, what great skill!”
Wang Yu let out a long sigh, viciously reaching out and caught Frost Hook by the leg…
Frost Hook’s skill was forcibly interrupted and he drew out his blade towards Wang Yu. Once again, he sent out five blades to attack Wang Yu’s back region.
Frost Hook’s five swords were able to cut all the retreat paths of Wang Yu. Just as Wang Yu was finally trapped, he released the ankle of Frost Hook. He swapped the weapon in his hand for a long sword.
Wang Yu’s actions were extremely quick as he thrust out the long sword in his hands.
“Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang…”
As several of such sounds were heard, the five blades were systematically taken down by Wang Yu. Frost Hook did not fare any better and fell to the ground.
Frost Hook had the intention to once again unleash [Return of a Thousand Blades] but Wang Yu was one step ahead. Wang Yu reached out with his long sword and pointed at the wrist of Frost Hook, interrupting the channeling of the skill. Furthermore, Wang Yu stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of Frost Hook’s sword.
Wang Yu was in control of the fight this time. He flashed his hands out and was able to snatch away Frost Hook’s sword.

“You lose!” Wang Yu raised the newly acquired phantom sword and lodged it on Frost Hook’s neck.
“…” Frost Hook was staggered backwards in shock. His face darkened and replied, “I have lost.”
“You let me win this time.” Wang Yu raised the Phantom Sword with both hands and respectfully placed it in front of Frost Hook.
Upon seeing that Wang Yu was returning his beloved sword, not only was Frost Hook stunned. Even Long Chengfei was astonished by the turn of events…
“This equipment, you are really willing to return it to me?” Frost Hook asked in an incredulous tone.
In the game, during PK fights, any equipment lost in battle belonged to the victor. There was no getting back whatever one had lost.
In fact, with Wang Yu’s ability, Frost Hook had lost convincingly and he was only not pleased because he had lost his Phantom Sword.
Phantom Sword was Frost Hook’s specialised weapon. He had gotten his hands of it when he first changed his profession. He had also spent unimaginable efforts in order to raise the quality of the sword to the dark gold tier.
Although the sword did not fetch a high market value, it was extremely precious to Frost Hook. He did not expect Wang Yu to voluntarily return it back to him.
Wang Yu lightly smiled and said, “Of course I am going to return you your weapon. I cannot use it anyway…”
“…” Frost Hook was speechless as he received back his blade. He solemnly answered, “Thanks for this favour. I will definitely return it one day.”
Wang Yu laughed, not saying another word.
“Look, this kid has proven himself. Why not we just leave the matter with Peak of Perfection at that?” Long Chengfei was impressed by the way Wang Yu conducted himself and turned over to consult the other leaders.
Heavenly Fiend Alliance did not like to owe anyone favours.
“I think such an outcome is acceptable…” Drunken Battlefield and the others nodded in agreement.
Frost Hook said, “This… let me be the one to return this favour.”
Long Chengfei coldly replied, “Little Five, you’re not respecting the rest of us when you say this. Since when have we decided not to share our burdens together?”
“But…”
Before Little Five could even finish his sentence, Wang Yu chirpily said, “Uncle Frost Hook is so formidable, surely the next Uncle coming up will be even stronger. Who is next?”
“…”
As the crowd hear Wang Yu’s words, they were astonished. This man was growing in excitement with each battle.
“You are indeed very powerful. I am afraid I cannot defeat you,” Long Chengfei replied.
“Is this really the case?” Wang Yu look towards Long Chengfei with eagerness. “Come let me experience your true ability, I have had no rivals for a while now.”
Although Wang Yu belonged to the younger generation, there was no one in the martial arts circle that could unseat Wang Yu as one of the top experts. Wang Yu saying that he was unrivalled was definitely not just a boast.
“F*ck!”
Long Chengfei secretly spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly shouted in the Alliance chat, “Old Tong, come to the meeting room quickly. There is someone here who cannot stop acting like a pretentious prick!”
