Chapter 1 A Divine Priest

Divine priests were a scarce resource. In the past wars, they were dazzling. A single powerful divine blessing could drastically increase the strength of thousands of troops.

In addition to powerful healing abilities and keen awareness, a divine priest also needed to have outstanding PK skills.

Leading Big Brother Qizai, Shi Li Hua Sha, and Black Heaven were all like this.

Leading Big Brother Qizai glanced at his skill bar, checking which skills he could use.

Leading Big Brother Qizai’s calm demeanor made Kuang Shen a little apprehensive. Could a priest really defeat him? He wouldn't have believed it normally, but the confidence of Shui Se Yan Tou and the others made him doubt himself.

"Let's begin." After preparing, Leading Big Brother Qizai walked to one end of the arena and said.

He couldn't lose this time. Otherwise, he would have no face to return to Angel Corps headquarters and would become a laughingstock among the players.

Charge!

Kuang Shen roared and charged towards Leading Big Brother Qizai.

Leading Big Brother Qizai ran, casting Agony on Kuang Shen, then unleashing a Holy Sanction.

The players below held their breath, watching the battle between the two, afraid of missing anything exciting. Seeing the tall Kuang Shen constantly attacking Leading Big Brother Qizai, they all sweated for Leading Big Brother Qizai.

Nie Yan and the others, however, seemed much more relaxed.

"Nirvana Flame boss, what kind of flying mount did you get?" Desire Fingers Youth asked in the regional chat. The most discussed topic among the players of the Niu Ren Tribe recently was Nie Yan's flying mount.

"It's not a flying mount yet, just a dragon egg. I have to hatch it first," Nie Yan said. He didn't know when this Darkwing Dragon egg would hatch, and even after it hatched, he would have to level it up. It was a headache.

"Dragon egg..." Everyone was surprised. Dragons were extremely rare, and the dragon race was synonymous with power. Even the lowest-level dragons had amazing strength.

Nie Yan always managed to get rare and good things. He even got a dragon egg.

"What dragon egg? Let us see it," Desire Fingers Youth said, somewhat curious.

"Let's go back to the guild headquarters first. There are too many people here." Brilliant Knife Light said from the side. This kind of thing should be kept secret.

"Have you guys gotten anything good recently?" Nie Yan asked. His teammates shouldn't have been idle.

"Desire got a sub-legendary staff a few days ago, with decent stats. We also got a blueprint for a magical cannon when we were in a dungeon and gave it to Fa Biao De Wo Niu. Jiang Nan got a kodo beast. He's happy; with the kodo beast, he can level up much faster," Brilliant Knife Light said. Overall, their gains during this time were pretty good.

"The trigger clues that Nirvana Flame boss gave us are very useful, letting us know where to collect sub-legendary and legendary equipment and items. I was lucky and got a sub-legendary staff. The others are still collecting. I heard that Bad Egg just triggered a quest to search for a legendary set and is still working on it," Desire Fingers Youth said. The clues Nie Yan provided did make things much easier for them. The power of those clues would slowly become apparent later.

"Good results," Nie Yan said. He didn't expect the clues he provided to have an effect so quickly. The more sub-legendary and legendary equipment they had, the more it would help them reach the top classes.

Everyone chatted for a while. Besides these things, there were countless other gains. Nie Yan could clearly feel that the Niu Ren Tribe members were rapidly becoming stronger. In the near future, they would reach their peak state from the previous life, and some might even have new breakthroughs. They would be the masters of the future battlefield.

As they were talking, the battle on the field had entered a heated stage. Everyone shifted their attention to the arena.

Berserk! Charge!

Kuang Shen had been fighting for a long time without success. Leading Big Brother Qizai had six crowd-control skills, far more than ordinary players. He used three crowd-control skills in a row, catching Kuang Shen off guard. Leading Big Brother Qizai had whittled down Kuang Shen’s health to about half. Finally, he activated Berserk and charged madly toward Leading Big Brother Qizai.

Flame Slash!

Kuang Shen swung his greatsword and slashed at Leading Big Brother Qizai.

The Flame Slash howled as it arrived, and just as it was about to hit, Leading Big Brother Qizai suddenly waved his staff, using Blink to jump out of Kuang Shen's attack range.

Kuang Shen missed his strike and was stunned for a moment before immediately realizing it was the Blink skill!

The Blink skill was very rare. Not even one in tens of thousands of players knew Blink.

Leading Big Brother Qizai blinked behind Kuang Shen and cast a Fear Howl.

Kuang Shen felt Leading Big Brother Qizai behind him and was about to turn around when a sharp whistling sound pierced his eardrums.

Not good, it’s Fear Howl!

Kuang Shen was about to activate Mental Defense to resist Leading Big Brother Qizai’s Fear Howl, but it was too late. No matter how fast a person's reaction speed was, how could it be faster than sound?!

Under normal circumstances, casting Fear Howl had a prelude. During PK, players would know that a priest was about to cast Fear Howl when they saw the priest's throat trembling violently. At this time, casting skills like Mental Defense or Mental Immunity could resist the priest's Fear Howl.

Unlike ordinary priests, Leading Big Brother Qizai first used the Blink skill to evade Kuang Shen's line of sight and then cast Fear Howl. By the time Kuang Shen heard the sound of Fear Howl, it was already too late.

Shui Se Yan Tou, watching from below, smiled slightly. This was the move! When they were in dungeons, they often sparred on PK techniques together. He had been defeated by Leading Big Brother Qizai’s move several times. This move was unavoidable, and even if he knew it in advance, he would often fall victim to it because Leading Big Brother Qizai had mastered casting Blink and Fear Howl with no interval. Ordinary players would definitely suffer a tragedy the first time they encountered such a deadly move.

Unless his immunity skills were as numerous as Nirvana Flame’s.

Kuang Shen suffered the fear effect of Fear Howl, and his body ran uncontrollably outwards.

Agonizing Whip!

Leading Big Brother Qizai calmly cast Agonizing Whip on Kuang Shen. Damage numbers floated above Kuang Shen's head, -111, -123...

This was the continuous health reduction effect of Agonizing Whip. Leading Big Brother Qizai's Agonizing Whip was level 5, so the effect was very strong and lasted a very long time.

Taking advantage of this time, Leading Big Brother Qizai cast skills one after another, Holy Burst!

A ball of light drew an arc in the air and landed on Kuang Shen's body. With a bang, the ball of light exploded. The powerful explosive force caused Kuang Shen's body to retreat involuntarily.

The effect of Fear Howl ended, and Leading Big Brother Qizai felt a little regret. He had a total of six crowd-control skills, including two strong crowd-control skills, Fear Howl and Holy Light Shackles, one medium crowd-control skill, Radiance Shockwave, and three low crowd-control skills, Repulsion Aura, Scare, and Banish. Holy Light Shackles and Radiance Shockwave had been used and were still cooling down. After using these two skills, he no longer had any consecutive crowd-control skills.

It was already very difficult for him to keep Kuang Shen under control until now.

Kuang Shen woke up from being controlled. His health was only a sliver left, about eight hundred, and whip damage numbers were constantly floating on his body.

Leading Big Brother Qizai had continuously controlled Kuang Shen without letting him get close, reducing Kuang Shen's health to only a sliver. The players were dumbfounded. Damn, this was a priest! More awesome than a mage!

The only difference between Leading Big Brother Qizai and a mage was that his attack damage was much lower than a mage's. If an ordinary mage were to restrain Kuang Shen for five or six seconds, a few spells would have taken Kuang Shen down, but Leading Big Brother Qizai restrained Kuang Shen for a full ten seconds, but his attack damage still couldn't kill Kuang Shen. However, the effect was still good. Kuang Shen had been exhausted.

Kuang Shen roared and activated War God's Blessing, ignoring all crowd-control effects. A faint golden light appeared on his body.

"Die!" Kuang Shen crushed towards Leading Big Brother Qizai, swinging the greatsword in his hand down on Leading Big Brother Qizai.

Leading Big Brother Qizai quickly retreated. Scare and Banish had both finished cooling down, but he understood that any crowd-control skills he cast at this time would be ineffective. He could only face Kuang Shen's attack head-on.

Once Kuang Shen cast Hamstring or similar skills on him, and he was controlled for two seconds, he would be done for!

This was the difference between a warrior and a priest!

A warrior's attack could easily break through a priest's cloth armor. Even if a priest had tens of thousands of health points, they still couldn't withstand a warrior's attack.

Leading Big Brother Qizai cast Holy Light Shield on himself. A white barrier protected him, a level 6 Holy Light Shield!

Holy Light Shields level 5 and above had an effect of protecting against limb damage control skills like Hamstring, but were weaker against mental attacks.

Kuang Shen's sword struck, and a damage value of -1582 floated above Leading Big Brother Qizai's head.

-1158, -1283...

Leading Big Brother Qizai retreated while casting healing spells on himself, repeatedly healing his health back up and being knocked down again, managing to withstand for five seconds. Without being controlled and being able to cast healing spells on himself, Leading Big Brother Qizai could still withstand for a long time.

The players below were shocked. What strong healing! How much effect could such dense healing have when tanking a boss! No wonder Leading Big Brother Qizai could become the number one priest in the Niu Ren Tribe!

After only five seconds, the War God's Blessing on Kuang Shen's body expired.

Just as Kuang Shen wanted to attack, Leading Big Brother Qizai used Scare, causing Kuang Shen to retreat a few steps, and threw a Holy Light Judgment at him.

Kuang Shen's health had been greatly reduced by Agonizing Whip, and after taking a Holy Light Judgment, he flew backward and fell to the ground.

This was the third time he had been brutally crushed!
