Chapter 1 A Complete Massacre

The five hundred plus players from the Mage Alliance were packed rather tightly in the narrow forest.

The warriors on the perimeter were extremely tense and acted with great caution, showing just how much pressure the earlier actions of Wang Zhe Tian Xia, Sun, and the others had put on them.

Tang Yao, Xie Yao, Xi Huan Jiang Nan, and the others had already stealthily approached them to within thirty yards or so, the dense trees providing excellent cover from the Mage Alliance players' view. Nie Yan had already sneaked around from another direction.

Several warriors from the Mage Alliance hacked away at the trees. One short warrior suddenly became alert, stopped, and wore a tense expression.

"Thieves!" the warrior exclaimed.

The moment his words fell, beams of Light illuminated the sky, and white light poured down, sweeping across the area.

The Holy Knights activated Divine Sight one after another, looking into the distant dense forest, but the peaceful woods showed no signs of movement.

"Damn it, Er Tong, where are the thieves? You scared us to death."

The warrior, Er Tong, revealed an awkward expression. He was just too nervous. A gust of wind had just blown by, and he'd thought it was a thief passing by.

"The thieves from the Ni Ren Tribe have scared all the courage out of us. Speaking of which, those guys are really amazing. With so many of us here, they still managed to kill five of us and then calmly escape. I'm impressed by their skill." Another warrior beside him said admiringly. Although they were from opposing guilds, no one could deny that he was speaking the truth.

About fifty yards away from them, Nie Yan was standing in a tree, spying on their every move.

The people in front of him were all experts from the Mage Alliance, somewhat different from the enemies Nie Yan and the others had encountered before. They still had some ability to resist.

Seeing them coming, Nie Yan chanted a series of incantations. A huge Golden Earth Dragon appeared within the view of the Mage Alliance players. The Golden Earth Dragon, three yards tall, was like an iron tower. Its giant tail swept across the area, and the surrounding trees were knocked down.

"Damn it, it's Kuang Ze Nie Yan's Golden Earth Dragon!"

The Mage Alliance players broke out in a commotion.

"Warriors, quickly hold the line!"

"Priests, pay attention, don't get ambushed by Kuang Ze Nie Yan!"

Just as they were panicking, the Golden Earth Dragon let out an angry roar, and a Dragon Breath blasted into the middle of the Mage Alliance players, burning two of them into ashes. Immediately afterward, a giant meteor fell from the sky, exploding with a bang, and engulfing a large area. More than a dozen Mage Alliance players were killed.

These Mage Alliance players were extremely skilled. After being hit by the magical attack, they used their abilities to dodge. Only a few slow-moving ones were instantly killed by the Golden Earth Dragon's attack!

A group of more than ten warriors stood against the Golden Earth Dragon, trying to trap it.

"Healers, keep up!"

"Priests, faster!"

"Damn, the Golden Earth Dragon has such high attack!"

"Kuang Ze Nie Yan doesn't know where he is, be careful of Kuang Ze Nie Yan!"

Just as this group of warriors thought they had controlled the Golden Earth Dragon, it let out an enraged roar, triggering Counterattack Storm! Counterattack Storm!

Two consecutive triggered counterattack skills sent waves of damage numbers floating above the warriors' heads. Five warriors fell to the ground, and the remaining warriors had very little health left. They quickly retreated, and the priests cast healing spells on them!

The retreating warriors looked at the behemoth in front of them with lingering fear. The Golden Earth Dragon's attack was too terrifying. This wasn't a pet, it was clearly a Boss!

Some players summoned their own pets one after another. Dozens of high-health pets pounced on the Golden Earth Dragon, but it remained motionless. A single Dragon Breath killed a giant wolf, and another tear ripped a giant bear to shreds.

The Golden Earth Dragon was invincible!

Just as the Mage Alliance players were falling into chaos, a violent magical fluctuation came from the sky. Patches of red clouds covered the sky, suffocatingly heavy.

"Who's casting area-of-effect magic!"

"Over there, it's the people from the Ni Ren Tribe, stop them!"

These players discovered Tang Yao, Xi Huan Jiang Nan, and the others from the Ni Ren Tribe in the distant jungle. Just as they were about to take action, patches of frost fell from the sky, and all the Mage Alliance players in this area immediately slowed down, like slow motion in a movie, even their walking postures became extremely comical.

In just a moment, Tang Yao's Purgatory Flames swept down in patches, instantly turning the area within thirty yards into a sea of fire. One Mage Alliance player after another turned into streaks of white light.

In the middle of the chaotic crowd, three players from the Ye Lang Workshop wearing black cloaks looked at each other and ran towards Tang Yao and the others, preparing to stop them. A warrior, a mage, and a shadow priest - a strong competitive combination.

Nie Yan sent a message to Wang Zhe Tian Xia and Sun: "Let's kill these three together!" Every person from the Ye Lang Workshop killed was one less. Their deaths would be of great significance to the battle!

They entered stealth one after another and pounced on the three players from the Ye Lang Workshop.

The three thieves at the peak began their first collaboration.

"I'll go first!" Nie Yan's speed suddenly soared, like a shooting star, pouncing on the shadow priest among them. A Light spell cast by an ordinary Mage Alliance priest happened to detect Nie Yan.

"There's a thief over there!" the shadow priest said in a low voice, waving his staff to cast a Light spell. A white ball of light flew into the sky, and under the illumination of the white light, a figure could be seen flashing by.

So fast!

The three of them were shocked. This speed, it was Kuang Ze Nie Yan!

"Be careful, I'll deal with him!" The warrior roared in a low voice, charging towards Nie Yan with a Charge and a Heroic Strike.

Suddenly, Nie Yan's body transformed into countless phantoms, passing by the warrior. It was the Phantom Dance skill!

The warrior's sword struck, only to see Nie Yan's shadow shatter. He was shocked, it was a phantom!

Just then, the warrior suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head as if pierced by a sharp weapon. Not good! But before he could react, he was already stunned. Almost at the same instant that Nie Yan dodged the warrior with Phantom Dance, when the warrior was somewhat distracted, Sun suddenly burst out from behind the warrior and stunned him.

Kuang Ze Nie Yan wasn't alone. Seeing this scene, the remaining two were shocked. Seeing their companion being controlled, they wanted to save him.

Seeing Nie Yan pounce closer, the shadow priest's throat rolled, and he suddenly let out a sharp scream, Fear Howl! At the same time, he waved his staff and cast two curses on Nie Yan.

Nie Yan activated the Mental Immunity skill on the Ten Holy Knights Medal, immune to Fear Howl and the curses, and also withstood the Arcane Mage's Fireball. This Fireball blew away nearly one-third of his health. A single magic spell took away so much of Nie Yan's health. If it were an ordinary thief, he would have been instantly killed.

Improved Concussion Blow!

Nie Yan used an Improved Concussion Blow, causing the shadow priest's body to stiffen. Just as he was about to use Dispel to push Nie Yan away, another sharp dagger suddenly appeared from behind him, stabbing into the back of his head. His staff froze in the air.

Wang Zhe Tian Xia successfully ambushed him from behind!

Seeing his two companions controlled, the Arcane Mage turned to escape. Just as he turned around, his body froze, he was locked on! It was Wang Zhe Tian Xia's Lock On!

Before he could use a Random Teleport Scroll, Nie Yan used a Shadow Strike, and the Zennarde's Sword killed him with one blow.

Bang, bang, bang, the three corpses fell to the ground almost simultaneously!

A collaboration of absolute perfection!

When Nie Yan, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, and Sun collaborated, even experts from the Ye Lang Workshop had no power to fight back!

The three experts from the Ye Lang Workshop were taken down almost simultaneously within a few seconds. The surrounding Mage Alliance players were all somewhat dazed. They all understood how powerful the people from the Ye Lang Workshop were, but why were they so easily killed after encountering these three thieves!

Because everything happened so quickly, they didn't even know what the whole process was like. By the time they looked carefully, there were only three corpses left on the ground.

"A pleasant collaboration." Nie Yan gestured to Sun and Wang Zhe Tian Xia. It was the first time he had such a smooth collaboration with others.

"Brother Nie Yan, a pleasant collaboration."

Wang Zhe Tian Xia shrugged indifferently, still with that nonchalant expression, but his calm heart had a trace of fluctuation. His cooperation with Nie Yan reminded him of his comrades in arms. This kind of tacit understanding was too familiar.

The three of them picked up the equipment and disappeared again.

Just as Nie Yan and the three were dealing with the experts from the Ye Lang Workshop, six thieves from Xue Sha ambushed Tang Yao, Xie Yao, and the others. Their ambush did not cause any casualties on the Ni Ren Tribe's side. After leaving behind a corpse, they withdrew and fled, but Tang Yao and the others were delayed and were unable to cast area-of-effect magic in a continuous manner.

The Mage Alliance's line of defense had been torn apart and was in complete chaos, with wails echoing everywhere. More than two hundred of the five hundred plus people were killed, and the remaining three hundred plus people scattered and fled. Some organized themselves and launched a counterattack against Tang Yao and the others, but they were quickly blasted back by magic, leaving behind a ground of corpses.

Nie Yan, Sun, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, and others began to chase and kill, taking down one after another. Wherever the Golden Earth Dragon went, corpses littered the ground.

"Boss, someone is coming from the east and west! It's people from the Ye Lang Workshop and Xue Sha!"

"We're withdrawing!" With Nie Yan's order, this group of them used Random Teleport Scrolls one after another and disappeared from the spot.

This sneak attack had earned them a lot. They would go back to rest and reorganize, then continue to play with the Mage Alliance. There was no need to entangle with them. If they were ambushed, it would be a loss.
