Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 110 The Sword Duel Agreement
"How dare you! What are you doing?"

The Wan Du Gang experts who went out to level up have finally returned.

Seeing the giant shuttle emanating a terrifying aura suspended in the air from afar, a dozen people circled around to interrupt Luo Qingchan.

Su Yu and the others were prepared and immediately went to meet them. Zhang Chao used his magic weapon to create a light barrier that protected everyone.

"This is a resource point of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang. What are you doing? You are making enemies of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang."

Su Yu chuckled and said:

"I remember your Ten Thousand Poisons Gang developed in the south of the island, but now you've come to the northernmost part of Ten Thousand Poisons Island to seize territory. You've overstepped your bounds, you know that?"

Wang Gong, the captain of the 17th Independent Squadron of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang, frowned and said coldly:

"I don't know anything about crossing the line, but this is the territory of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang. Stop immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Su Yu said with a look of sudden realization:
"I understand. Crossing the border to the north of the island to seize territory was the action of your Independent Squadron, not the action of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang, right?"

No wonder there are so few people building it; it turns out it wasn't the work of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang.

Within a guild, each independent squadron has a great deal of autonomy, and it is normal for them to run far away from their own guild's territory to seize resource points.

In other words, Gu Yuan was not stolen by the Wan Du Gang, but by an independent squadron under its command. They only needed to deal with one independent squadron of the Wan Du Gang.

If that's the case, neither destroying nor seizing Gu Yuan will provoke a massive retaliation from the Wan Du Gang, except for the Seventeenth Squadron or a Wan Du Gang team invited by the Seventeenth Squadron through personal connections.

"If this is the case"

Su Yu looked at her companions and said:
"Then there's no need to destroy Gu Yuan; it would be a waste. Just drive them away and take over."

Zhang Chao nodded:

“I think that’s a good idea. Let’s take it over under the name of the Kamikaze Gang.”

"I'll contact Chief Lin Qingfeng."

"Row."

Su Yu then looked up and continued:
"Let's not beat around the bush. We are from the Kamikaze Gang. Your independent squadron has gone all the way from the south of the island to the north to forcibly seize a resource area, which is already overstepping our bounds. Let's follow the guild rules and have a sword fight."

"Whether it's a group fight or a one-on-one duel, just name your terms, and we'll take it all."

Wang Gong frowned. He didn't believe for a second that these people were from the Shenfeng Gang. That small gang had cowered at the first sign of trouble, but these people were clearly hired by the Shenfeng Gang.

If they're not afraid of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang, then things will get complicated.

He pondered for a moment, then turned to discuss the matter with several trusted subordinates.

At this moment, Zhang Chao had finished talking and said to Su Yu and the others:

"I've already spoken with Gang Leader Lin Qingfeng, and he's already brought his men over."

"That makes things easier. Help the Divine Wind Gang drive away the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang squadron and take over Gu Abyss, and we'll have that thousand taels of gold."

“It’s more than a thousand. Chief Lin Qingfeng has already said that if we can help them take it, each person will receive three hundred gold coins.”

"That's good."

While they were discussing, the royal palace had already made its decision, and he announced loudly:
"A week from now, at this time, we will have a sword duel, with ten people from each side fighting one-on-one."

Zhang Chao asked loudly:

"What are the rules?"

"A series of battles, where the use of pills and disposable items is not allowed. The side whose ten members are all defeated loses."

"no problem."

The two sides reached an agreement. The royal palace looked up at the giant shuttle in the sky, which had stopped rotating and whose surface was covered with dense runes that had dimmed again, and then waved his hand and left with his men.

It takes time to activate this thing, and it also takes some time to retrieve it.

After she retrieved the shuttle, Su Yu stepped forward and explained their plan to her in detail. She nodded.
"Count me in."

After a while, Lin Qingfeng, the leader of the Shenfeng Gang, arrived with four or five hundred men.

As soon as he came down, he stepped forward and shook hands with Su Yu, Zhang Chao, and the others to express his gratitude:
"Brothers, rest assured. If we can seize the Gu Abyss, each of you will receive three hundred taels of gold. In addition, if you need to refine Gu, you can borrow the Gu Abyss anytime, completely free of charge."

Su Yu took out the Hundred Gu Banner and laughed heartily:
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I happen to have some Golden-Winged Flying Centipedes that I'm refining."

Lin Qingfeng asked with a smile:
"Young man, do you practice the Gu Dao (a type of sorcery)?"

"No, that's not it. I practiced it before, and later I used Qi cultivation as a supplementary practice of swordsmanship."

"Oh."

Then everyone gathered together to discuss the sword duel a week later. Lin Qingfeng said that the remaining four people had already been chosen. They would select four people from the Divine Wind Society, making a total of ten people including the six of them.

After the discussion, Lin Qingfeng instructed his craftsmen to build a temporary residence near the Gu Abyss.

Su Yu was preparing to return to the Shenfeng Gang's base to borrow their Gu pool to refine another batch of Golden-Winged Flying Centipedes when Li Qin ran over and asked:

"We're fine for now, shall we go level up?"

"Who else?"

"Just us."

Su Yu looked over in surprise, and the girl lowered her head shyly.

I wanted to refuse, but then I felt it would be too deliberate, so I nodded and said:
"Ok."

The two greeted the others and left the temporary camp. At the entrance, they saw Luo Qingchan, and he inexplicably greeted her:
"We're going to level up, do you want to come?"

Then she nodded and followed.

Su Yu and Li Qin both blinked and hurried on their way. Yao Chenfeng, standing at the door, watched the three figures until they disappeared before snapping out of his daze. He couldn't help but click his tongue and say to Zhang Chao beside him:

"I didn't realize Brother Su was so popular!"

"Also, didn't Li Qin initiate the conversation with him just now?"

"Yes."

"This is quite rare. Many people in the gang have tried to ask her out but haven't succeeded."

Zhang Chao shrugged and said:

"With someone as outstanding as Brother Su, it's no wonder he attracts girls."

Yao Chenfeng nodded:
"That's true. Elder Su Huan's younger brother entered the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect through his own abilities. He has excellent talent and strong personal strength, and his future is clearly limitless. Xiao Qin is smart and took the initiative."

He suddenly stopped, tilted his head to think for a moment, and then smiled:

"You mean Qingchan?"

Zhang Chao didn't answer, he just laughed loudly:
"Let the young people handle it themselves."

"indeed!"

The young man they were talking about was silently leveling up in a mountain shrouded in poisonous fog.

Li Qin was not unhappy about Luo Qingchan's sudden arrival; instead, she deliberately put him aside and chatted with him.

Su Yu was delighted with this, and used two flying swords to encircle all the Gu worms in the mountain range, slaughtering them wildly.

As it turns out, two flying swords are still the most useful for leveling up.

Flexible, fast, high burst damage, and most importantly, low mana consumption. With his current mana recovery speed, he can achieve perpetual motion as long as he doesn't use his ultimate skill.

While magical artifacts are indeed powerful and have excellent group-killing effects, especially the newly acquired Wind and Fire Fan which is particularly effective for group-killing, they consume too much mana, requiring mana to be replenished after just a few waves of attacks.

He was scrolling through the chat like crazy, while two beautiful women were chatting animatedly on the other side.

Luo Qingchan usually appears aloof, but she's not truly aloof; she just pretends to be to avoid trouble.
It was just her and Li Qin at that moment, and someone took the initiative to start a conversation, and they quickly got into chatting.

He didn't know what they were talking about, but Su Yu could hear their silvery laughter from time to time while leveling up. Sometimes he would deliberately listen carefully, but Luo Qingchan, with her keen senses, would look over. He would touch his nose and look away.

The two women chatted for a while before joining the battle, as there weren't enough monsters nearby for them to fight.

Su Yu opened the map and looked at it for a while, then said to them:
"There's a monster spawn point over a thousand kilometers away. Should we go there and farm there?"

Both women nodded:

"can."

Su Yu tossed out the Spirit Wing Flying Boat, beckoning them to jump aboard. The flying boat then headed southwest.

Half an hour later, the airship appeared in a mountain basin. In the distance, a giant peak tens of thousands of meters high could be seen. The peak looked like a volcano crater, and a huge cloud of poisonous mist with a diameter of tens of kilometers spewed out of the crater, shooting into the sky tens of thousands of meters high, just like an erupting volcano.

Countless venomous insects and worms poured out of the volcano's crater and surged in all directions.

It's the same monster spawn point as the Water Eye Demon Cave, except that here you'll find various poisonous mist worms.

Around this monster spawn point, many teams of varying sizes occupied their respective areas. Some were frantically intercepting and killing the swarming poisonous insects, while others were using various magical artifacts to collect the various poisonous insects swarming from the spawn point.

Su Yu circled in the air and landed on a hilltop that no one had occupied.

"I'll come first!"

Li Qin took out eight Heavenly Blazing Fire Golden Pillars, all of which were sixth-grade treasure magic treasures. After activating them, they flew down in all directions and transformed into Heavenly Blazing Fire Pillars, covering the entire mountain. Activating the Heavenly Blazing Fire Array, a continuous stream of blazing fire surged out and covered the entire mountain.

As a steady stream of poisonous insects poured in through the wide-open gates of the formation, the raging flames caused them to crackle and pop.

Su Yu glanced at the poisonous Gu worms continuously emerging from the volcano, some of which were large Gu creatures of over a hundred levels mixed in. Thinking it best to be safe, she reached out and pulled Ao Run out of the Zhenhai Pearl. Then, Li Qin's surprised voice came from behind her:

"Wow, what a beautiful dragon!"

Then Luo Qingchan's eyes lit up, as if she had seen something wonderful.

It turns out that no girl can resist the allure of beautiful things.

"Let me see it quickly."

Li Qin leaned closer with starry eyes, looking like she wanted to touch him but didn't dare.

"Is this your spirit pet?"

"Yes, her name is Ao Run."

Su Yu pushed Ao Run forward, and Li Qin carefully touched him. Ao Run tried to resist but was held down by him, and he angrily twisted his body and shouted:

"Don't touch me, let go."

Wow, it's so beautiful!

"It can even talk!"

"It feels so cool and refreshing, Qingchan, feel it."

At this moment, several extremely large poisonous toads burrowed into the formation. The raging fire could not kill them in time, so Su Yu had to use his twin swords to meet them, leaving the two women to surround the dragon.

Most of the poisonous Gu worms are low-level but numerous. These poisonous creatures are instantly killed and reduced to ashes when they enter the formation. However, occasionally there are some high-level and large Gu worms that cannot be burned to death, so he needs to take action to kill them one by one.

The pressure wasn't great. Most of the Gu creatures were below level 50, and they would be killed by the formation without him even having to lift a finger. There weren't many that required his intervention, and he could suppress them all.

Moreover, they didn't just keep petting the dragon. Ao Run couldn't stand being touched by them, so he transformed into his real form and jumped out, which made Li Qin cheer.
