MMORPG: Martial Gamer Chapter 640 - Hinder Strikeback

w.a.n.g Yu’s consecutive kicks took away close to two million HP but the health bar above the G.o.d of Puppets’ head did not seem to move at all. Evidently, this fella’s total HP was insanely high.

As the G.o.d of Puppets saw that the target he had in his hands struggled free, he was slightly surprised. He turned around and opened his stride to charge towards w.a.n.g Yu.

The G.o.d of Puppets’ legs were extremely long, and every step was about four metres long. In a jiffy, he arrived in front of w.a.n.g Yu and lifted his huge leg as he tried to trample on w.a.n.g Yu.

This fella’s attack was exceptionally high. Even a person with defence like Crotch Lord wasn’t able to contain one strike. If a person with health and defence like w.a.n.g Yu was on the receiving end of a single attack, the consequences would be unthinkable.

When w.a.n.g Yu saw that the G.o.d of Puppets’ foot was right above his head, he rolled to the side anxiously. He successfully avoided the G.o.d of Puppets’ foot but at this moment, the G.o.d of Puppets’ sword was thrust downwards right towards w.a.n.g Yu’s head.

Both of w.a.n.g Yu’s legs treaded on the G.o.d of Puppets’ leg to slide out of the edge of the sword narrowly. Just then, the G.o.d of Puppets’ s.h.i.+eld descended from above.

The Cross Blade was a sharp weapon, so the smaller attacking surface was relatively easier to avoid. However, a normal s.h.i.+eld was already so wide and big while the G.o.d of Puppets’ s.h.i.+eld was almost like a wall. This small range movement was definitely not enough to dodge it.

“F*ck!!!”

w.a.n.g Yu cursed in his heart as he continuously rolled a few times to the right. This was just enough to avoid the G.o.d of Puppets’ s.h.i.+eld. Yes, roll desperately… Up to now, w.a.n.g Yu had never been in such a sorry state since he was surrounded by soldiers.

The G.o.d of Puppets’ weapons were not only limited to these. After rolling out of the s.h.i.+eld’s way, w.a.n.g Yu didn’t dare to take a breather as he continued rolling backwards. In a half-squat position, he jumped backwards with force as he flew past the leg of the G.o.d of Puppets. He managed to send himself to the back of the G.o.d of Puppets.

Just when w.a.n.g Yu managed to stabilise himself, the G.o.d of Puppets’ spear was thrust at w.a.n.g Yu’s previous location.

Even though the G.o.d of Puppets had many arms, he only had two eyes. w.a.n.g Yu’s current position was a blind spot for him which made him temporarily safe for now.

When w.a.n.g Yu saw the descending of weapon, he really broke out in cold sweat. Soon after, w.a.n.g Yu’s both hands were equipped with weapons as one long and one short sword appeared.

w.a.n.g Yu paid extremely close attention to the G.o.d of Puppets as he observed the movement of his upper body. This was because he knew that this plaything was something like a robot. From experience, he knew that any weapon might come at him at an unexpected angle. Therefore, he was exceedingly cautious.

Indeed, after the G.o.d of Puppets lost his target, his upper body turned oddly with the waist as the pivot. The long sword was immediately aimed at w.a.n.g Yu again.

w.a.n.g Yu’s short sword blocked the edge of the sword while the long sword on his right hand was supporting the short blade from the back as he took on the full force of the G.o.d of Puppets’ strike. In the next moment, w.a.n.g Yu was like bubblegum stuck on a windmill. Following the movement of the sword, he flew right to the front of the G.o.d of Puppets.

Of course, even though w.a.n.g Yu’s current position was right in front of the G.o.d of Puppets, the G.o.d of Puppets’ upper body had twisted 180 degrees. Hence, the back of the G.o.d of Puppets’ head was still facing w.a.n.g Yu.

The horizontal slash of the Cross Blade ended, and w.a.n.g Yu landed lightly on the ground. During the instant the G.o.d of Puppets’ skill ended, w.a.n.g Yu pressed down the handle of the sword and jumped up. He jumped right to the top of the head.

Eagle Stomp!

Thunder G.o.d’s Stomp!

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” Boom!!!

-11245

-21457

-11457

w.a.n.g Yu landed four consecutive kicks on the back of the G.o.d of Puppets’ head. The very last Thunder G.o.d’s Stomp’s knockback effect caused the G.o.d of Puppets to sway a little. At the same time, w.a.n.g Yu took advantage to sit down to hang both his legs on the G.o.d of Puppets’ neck. As the neck moved forward, w.a.n.g Yu’s swords were pierced right towards the head.

The sword pierced through the G.o.d of Puppets’ eye while the long sword wiped one around across the neck.

-22167

-37596

These two red numbers appeared and there was finally some gap in the health bar of the G.o.d of Puppets.

This skill was called “Double Moon Encirclement” and it was one of the sword arts of the w.a.n.g Clan. If this was executed in real life, the head would have been ripped off the body. However, because they were in a game, the G.o.d of Puppets only needed to shake a little and was able to shake w.a.n.g Yu off his neck.

Looking at the unconcerned expression of the G.o.d of Puppets, w.a.n.g Yu was on the verge of crying.

“F*ck! This is way too illogical. How can he not die after that?” Even though w.a.n.g Yu had never used this move on anyone, w.a.n.g Yu’s many years of martial art experience provided him with a deep ideology. It was hard to change his logical flow of thought when playing this game especially only after such a short period of time.

“Why don’t you die?”

The Quan Zhen Sect’s players, who were hiding behind the statue, were already in tears when they heard what w.a.n.g Yu said.

The G.o.d of Puppets showed its might and power just by swinging a few arms. Not only did w.a.n.g Yu dared to take on such a formidable BOSS on his own, he even had the advantage in the exchange of blows. Even so, he was still complaining that he didn’t manage to kill the BOSS in seconds. This was truly preposterous.

Of course, n.o.body treated w.a.n.g Yu as a fellow human. After all, no human could be as savage as w.a.n.g Yu was.

As a big BOSS, the G.o.d of Puppets was naturally not going to sit there quietly without retaliating. Before w.a.n.g Yu could be shaken off his neck, he extended his hand to grab w.a.n.g Yu’s back.

“Boom!”

w.a.n.g Yu’s body exploded but it was a clone. The real w.a.n.g Yu had already landed behind the G.o.d of Puppets’ back. Both his hands were on guard with the weapons readied.

“Old Bull is actually doing the hinder strikeback!” Ming Du couldn’t help but shout loudly when he saw w.a.n.g Yu’s stance.

Hinder strikeback was a very old school style of fighting. It first appeared in a PVP game. The main gist of this fighting style was to defend when the opponent attacked you. The moment the opponent finished execution of his attack, he would counter with a strikeback. This fighting style was known as hinder strikeback.

Because this fighting style was extremely boring and without any real skill, not many experts liked it. It was also called the ‘Turtle Style’.

“Eh? That’s true! But if Crotch Lord was sent flying, how did Old Bull do it?”

Everyone was an expert, so they were naturally able to recognise this infamous fighting style. The only thing they didn’t understand was how w.a.n.g Yu was able to execute hinder strikeback in a situation like this.

Top experts who used hinder strikeback only appeared in the early stages of combat games. When there was no hinder value, this would be completely useless… Later on, a few more games included the setting that hinder can be broken through after a few times which was when this skill was further revised.

In <>, they wanted to prevent such a style to affect the gaming experience of players. Therefore, warding off hinder would be dependent on the judgement of the attack.

Besides the [Grappling] skill, the usual norm was that the higher the power, the greater the judgement.

For a BOSS like the G.o.d of Puppets with endless power, even a Guardian with maximum hinder points wouldn’t be able to withstand a single strike. So how exactly was a Pugilist like w.a.n.g Yu able to execute hinder strikeback? This was undoubtedly a supernatural incident.
