Chapter 71: Fist of Fury! Throwing Punches at Maise the God!

“Should we retreat? Did you see all those people that ran away?”

“Why are we still here? We’re only digging our graves!”

“Listen. We have 300 people here. Why should we be afraid of Maise the God?”

“Stop overthinking things. If the 300 of us charge together, we’ll crush Maise the God together with the Black Dragon!”

“Though that’s the case, I’m doubtful. It seems to me Maise the God doesn’t take us seriously at all.”

“Take a look for yourself. Maise the God is still at level 15. We’ll only need to draw away the Black Dragon’s attention and strike our attack on him only. Won’t that work?”

“The employment mission states to assassinate Maise the God. We only have to avoid confrontations with the Black Dragon, yes?”

As the noises rose from the surroundings, the people made up their minds. They were ready to lure the Black Dragon away first and then make their move on Maise the God. Among these 300 people, all of them were above level 15. They were confident to take down Maise the God. Not to mention more than a few of them were wearing gold-grade equipment. It would mean not only did they surpass Maise the God in terms of level, but their equipment was also superior.

Out of nowhere, a burst of laughter came. “Haha! Say, Maise the God. You’ve been running since you got into the Dragon’s Lair. No wonder you’re still at level 15!” The high-pressure gun guy stepped forward with a teasing tone.

“Yeah, right. Since you’re carrying the dark mark, you’d be on the run. If you aren’t running, the Black Dragon will launch her attack on you. And that will be the end of you!” Came Hashimoto Sea from behind, his tone with a sneer.

The people surrounding went as silent as the grave, and no one dared to make any sound. Though there were 300 of them, there was still a wide gap between them and the fifteen members of the Grand Sea Guild. Those in the Grand Sea Guild wore complete set gold-grade equipment, their levels reaching eighteen and even nineteen. And when the two Grand Sea Guild members emerged from the crowd, people made way for them, retreating both sides and leaving a lane open. As Hashimoto Sea and the high-pressure gun guy came to Maise the God, the temperature immediately dropped beyond the freezing point in their presence.

“The employment mission’s issued by ‘Tianyu’ from the Grand Sea Guild!”

“Now, the two parties have clashed!”

“I wonder how will Maise the God respond?”

“How long do you think it will take the Grand Sea Guild to slay Maise the God? An hour? Or fifteen minutes?”

Everyone couldn’t help but make guesses. In front of the Grand Sea Guild, they were nobodies. And in their eyes, Maise the God was a nobody either.

The Black Dragon was no longer a threat in front of the Grand Sea Guild’s high-level members, all equipped with gold-grade equipment. Any early-stage divine beasts needed to be fed a considerable amount of resources. Since Maise the God didn’t look like he was well-off, there was no way he could have found good resources to sustain the Black Dragon’s diet. Hence, the Black Dragon’s combat ability was barely higher than any ordinary Boss.

Just as people were still busy with their thoughts, the duo from the Grand Sea Guild revealed a dissatisfied expression. Hashimoto Sea and the high-pressure gun guy were both ignored by Maise the God.

As the crowd parted ways, Maise the God marched straight forward without giving an eye to the two men mocking him.

In the next second, the high-pressure gun dude flew into a rage and shouted, “Stop right there!”

However, it couldn’t stop Jiang Bai at all.

“Urgh!” The high-pressure gun guy felt humiliated. He raised his shield, making a gesture to Hashimoto Sea. “Come on!”

Hashimoto Sea could not wait any longer. He clenched his fists and charged forward.

The two of them struck Maise the God with fury in a surprise attack, while the other players on the side watched with eyes burning with passion.

“Golden Bloodwing Gloves!”

“It’s a top-tier gold-grade item!”

“I had caught a glimpse of its attributes from the Bloodwing Goshawk’s habitat!”

“I’m surprised. Not only that Hashimoto Sea was wearing the Golden Bloodwing Gloves, but he has the Golden Goshawk’s Armor on too!”

“His attributes are maxed out: be it his attack or defense!”

Discussions rose as Hashimoto Sea threw both punches.

[Fist of Fury LVL 3]

[Description: two fists that have undergone tempering and refinement, and with a single punch, the opponent will erupt in terrifying flames!]

[Reminder: if Fist of Fury successfully strikes its opponent, there is a certain chance the opponent will fall into a burning state!]

Boom!

Both fists were incomparably full of strength as they struck forward with unstoppable momentum. Immediately after, under the scorching gazes of the players, two balls of flames enveloped the two fists.

“F*ck!”

“From where did the fire come?”

“Isn’t Hashimoto Sea a boxer? Why would flames engulf his fist when he attacks?”

“Oh my god. If it lands, the opponent would probably burn down in flames!”

Just as that sentence finished, the force from the fists landed as it headed straight for Jiang Bai. The Fist of Fury was incredibly intense. The instant it collided with the enemy, it would explode with even more scorching flames that would engulf the enemy’s entire body.

However, something happened.

Hashimoto Sea’s punch didn’t injure Jiang Bai at all. On the contrary, the dragon’s breath of the Black Dragon Princess Ickes hit him. The high-pressure gun guy held up his shield, intending to take the blow for Hashimoto Sea. But before he could get close, the dragon’s breath condensed its force, and like a missile, it blew Hashimoto Sea away.

Boom!

An explosion sounded.

Hashimoto Sea lay flat on the ground, rolling a few feet away. The high-pressure gun guy fell back and headed towards Hashimoto Sea. “How are you doing, my brother?”

Hashimoto Sea revealed a pained expression. “I didn’t notice when the Black Dragon launched a surprise attack!”

Hearing that, the high-pressure gun guy glared at Jiang Bai. “If the Black Dragon weren’t here, I would have torn you into a million pieces!”

Realizing the brutality in the voice, the bystanders sucked in the cold air. They could tell from the power of Hashimoto Sea’s fists that the high-pressure gun guy had similar strength. It was just that Hashimoto Sea hadn’t paid attention to the Black Dragon. If he had raised his guard, the Black Dragon wouldn’t have taken advantage.

“All of you nincompoops that have accepted the mission. For what are you waiting? Do you want me to kill you?” said the high-pressure gun dude in his blatant cold voice, his fury eyes sweeping the surrounding players.

The players hesitated, but they made a firm decision.

“Let’s go!”

“We’ll take down Maise the God, and the rewards will be ours!”

Many held up their weapons, charging forward like they had gone mad. When they surrounded Black Dragon Princess Ickes, the high-pressure gun guy smirked. “Now, Maise the God. Without the Black Dragon’s protection, who will you depend on?”

As he spoke, Hashimoto Sea stood up, his eyes emitting cold light. “Kill him!” he shouted.
