Chapter 386 King's World

The battle against King's World allows only victory, not defeat!

Nie Yan had so many powerful skills, and his defense and attack stats were unrivaled. As long as he wasn't stunned by King's World, no ordinary thief could outmatch Nie Yan in a straight fight. However, if he was stunned, it would be dangerous. Any high-end thief could chain two or three stun skills together for six or seven seconds. King's World's equipment was also excellent, and continuous output for six or seven seconds could probably kill Nie Yan.

Nie Yan cast an Obsidian Shield on himself, a black curtain of light appearing around him.

King's World lunged forward. They exchanged several blows, mainly dodging and probing, neither using their most important skills.

King's World thrust a stun dagger at Nie Yan's forehead.

Nie Yan parried, and the two daggers clashed with a clang.

Just then, King's World suddenly exerted force, his figure flashing. He executed a Whirlwind Strike, stabbing towards Nie Yan's back. His attacks were fierce and decisive, like a real life-or-death struggle.

In reality, Nie Yan was no match for King's World. But this was a game! All characters in the game were bound by stats and skills.

Just as King's World was about to hit Nie Yan, Nie Yan used Shadow Waltz, dodging King's World's Whirlwind Strike and flashing past.

Night Owl Perception!

Just as Nie Yan left his line of sight, King's World suddenly unleashed a powerful perception ability, locking onto Nie Yan who had just moved away.

Charge!

King's World suddenly closed in on Nie Yan's back, his dagger piercing Nie Yan's back. Blood splattered, and this strike dealt over 1,200 damage to Nie Yan.

Such high damage, truly worthy of a great thief skill! Nie Yan used the Elementary Berserk skill on the Murderous Maniac Medal, his movement speed suddenly increasing. He used Zennarde's Sword to perform a Shadow Strike, stabbing straight at King's World's throat.

This kind of close-quarters combat between thieves tested skill. Victory or defeat could be decided in a second or two.

King's World used Gale Step to block Nie Yan's attack, quickly retreating to create distance from Nie Yan.

One second, two seconds, three seconds after he cast Gale Step, his invincibility disappeared. Nie Yan used Perception to lock onto King's World's location, suddenly casting an Ultra-Intense Shock, freezing King's World in place as he ran.

King's World was shocked. What skill was this? His whole body was stiff and he couldn't move!

He was running away with his back to Nie Yan, so after being shocked, the back of his head was facing Nie Yan.

At that moment, Nie Yan, empowered by Gale Assault, pounced on King's World's back, his right-hand dagger stabbing down at the back of King's World's head.

King's World quickly cast a shield on himself, which could block for a moment, and then cast a Great Thief's Shadow Blessing, which could negate control magic.

With a bang, Nie Yan's Zennarde's Sword hit the back of King's World's head with a Muffled Strike, but the stun effect of the Muffled Strike was negated by the Shadow Blessing skill.

Even if he wasn't afraid of being stunned, so what? Taking advantage of the attack buff from Gale Assault, Nie Yan swung his sword down. Zennarde's Sword slashed across King's World's body, followed by a Backstab, -1208, -1392. Two damage numbers floated up from King's World's body, and the shield on King's World's body shattered into pieces. Continuous damage of around two or three hundred also floated above his head.

King's World was finally able to move. He activated Tier 3 Rapid Retreat and ran wildly outwards. His heart was filled with coldness. Nie Yan's attack was too powerful. Mad Rogue Nie Yan, considered by players to be a god-like thief, lived up to his reputation. Just this terrifying attack was something ordinary players couldn't withstand, even a blood-ox warrior in full defense gear!

King's World tried his best to escape, but Nie Yan quickly chased after him, his speed extremely fast. He quickly pulled out a bottle of Intermediate Instant Recovery Potion and drank it.

Nie Yan and King's World had been fighting for fifty or sixty seconds, and both of their skills were used up. Only skill-less attacks remained.

Seeing Nie Yan pounce on him, King's World struck at Nie Yan's chest. Nie Yan suddenly used a Phantom Waltz, suddenly circling behind King's World, Zennarde's Sword held horizontally in front of King's World's neck.

King's World was about to move, but he felt a flash of sword light on his throat, exuding a chill.

"I won." Nie Yan smiled slightly. King's World had only a little over a thousand health points left, and one sword strike would kill him.

King's World felt that he had clearly hit Nie Yan, but he didn't expect it to be an illusion. A shadow flashed past his side, and Nie Yan had already appeared behind him. What a strange skill!

"What skill is that?" King's World asked with some surprise. He was a little curious about this skill.

"It's not a skill, it's Shadow Dance. If you're interested, I can teach you." Nie Yan said with a hearty smile. He was in a good mood. According to the bet, King's World, or rather, Stabb, would submit to him.

King's World smiled. He was sincerely convinced that he had lost to Nie Yan, because he could see that Nie Yan had held back some of his trump cards during their fight, including those techniques Nie Yan used to kill Blackrock in the Molten Forest.

"According to the agreement, I will join Niu Ren Tribe," King's World said. He had to accept defeat gracefully. He would fulfill the agreement and have his brothers join a branch of Niu Ren Tribe. Although it was a bit of a letdown for them, Niu Ren Tribe shared the guild warehouse, which would help them develop to some extent. They could join the main Niu Ren Tribe after their strength improved.

"It's not just Niu Ren Tribe, report to my company, here's the address..." Nie Yan said, sending the address of the Nie Corporation to King's World.

"Your company?" King's World was stunned for a moment. Why would he report to Nie Yan's company?

"According to our agreement, if you lose, you must submit to me. This is what we agreed upon in advance." A hint of triumphant cunning appeared on Nie Yan's face.

King's World suddenly recalled Nie Yan's words just now, "If I win, you will serve me from now on, and the gates of Niu Ren Tribe will be open to you..." He didn't know that Nie Yan had already recognized him as Stabb, so when Nie Yan said this, he naturally thought that Nie Yan was talking about the game. He didn't expect that Nie Yan's words included reality!

Nie Yan had set a linguistic trap, and the poor man had fallen into it without knowing it.

"I thought you were talking about the game..." King's World explained. He didn't expect that such a small bet would involve himself. But he had indeed agreed to that bet just now!

"Of course I'm talking about more than just the game, but also reality. I once said that if one day you have nowhere to go, come find me. You are a mercenary, and Nie Corporation will definitely offer a price that satisfies you. You won't go back on your word, will you?" Nie Yan asked, looking at King's World with some disappointment. "Of course, if you don't acknowledge the bet just now, then forget it."

King's World was in a dilemma. This matter couldn't be explained clearly. Only now did he understand that he had been tricked by Nie Yan!

King's World was about to say something when Nie Yan cut him off, "After I die, the four Chapters of Order are yours. Send the Evil Orb and the dropped equipment to the Niu Ren Tribe's Carole City branch."

As he spoke, Nie Yan had already committed suicide, turning into a white light. Four Chapters of Order and a few items were left on the ground. He didn't give King's World any time to explain.

Nie Yan left too quickly, and King's World didn't even have a chance to explain. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up these things, preparing to return the Evil Orb and the equipment dropped by Nie Yan.

Although he thought that Nie Yan was only talking about the game just now, he did agree to the bet, which no one could deny. He couldn't go back on his word!

King's World was caught in a contradiction and struggle. Keeping the bet meant that he really had to serve Nie Yan as Nie Yan said. Violating the bet was violating his integrity. The mercenary's code of conduct was to put faith first. He was a pure mercenary.

A trivial bet in a game had actually sold himself out, which made him feel a little dumbfounded.

Actually, it wasn't very important to King's World who he served. He was a mercenary. He would serve whoever the employer paid enough money. If Nie Yan was willing to pay enough money so that his brothers could recover, what would it matter if he served Nie Yan? So many years of gunfire had taught him that dignity was bullshit and couldn't be eaten. Sometimes, ending a life only required one bullet.

After thinking about it, Nie Yan's character wasn't too bad. Previously, he had failed to complete the employer's mission, and he and his brothers were hiding everywhere. Life would be even more difficult in the future. It wouldn't be bad if Nie Yan was willing to take them in.

King's World smiled desolately. For him, this might not be a bad thing. He could end his wandering mercenary life and settle down a bit.

King's World sighed, smiled, and cursed, "Damn it, Mad Rogue Nie Yan, I was tricked by you. You're ruthless!"

Nie Yan was walking back and forth at the Carole City branch. He believed in his ability to judge people. Given King's World's character, he should keep his promise. As for whether King's World was willing to come to the Nie Corporation, it was hard to say.

Nie Yan was gambling. If King's World kept his promise, then he would have struck gold!

Stabb was a top-tier mercenary, a master who had survived gunfire. He was several levels above Nie Yan. Nie Yan estimated that if Stabb went all out, he would be lucky to withstand three moves from Stabb. Nie Yan learned fighting moves, while Stabb learned killing moves!
