Chapter 198 Farnes's Phantom

After Feng Ming cast Elemental Judgment, his body suddenly turned ethereal, splitting into three, each flying off in a different direction.

The ground abruptly hardened, covered in frost, and sharp ice spikes erupted everywhere.

Feng Ming's magical assault was undeniably fierce. Most players, caught in such a storm of attacks, would likely be scrambling for cover.

Nie Yan's figure flickered, disappearing from his location.

Feng Ming looked towards where Nie Yan had been standing. Nie Yan was now like a phantom, flashing around constantly, making it impossible to pinpoint his exact location.

Legendary skill – Farnes's Phantom!

Even Feng Ming, with his vast experience, had never seen anything like it. His heart sank, and he waved his staff, unleashing a barrage of area-of-effect spells towards Nie Yan's general vicinity.

Eye of Truth!

Nie Yan activated Eye of Truth, scanning the three Feng Mings. He frowned slightly. All three were real. If that was the case, then he would just have to take them down one by one.

Swift Wind Steps!

Nie Yan flashed, instantly appearing behind one of the Feng Mings fifty or sixty yards away. A spray of blood erupted as the clone was reduced to a beam of light.

The speed of legendary-grade Swift Wind Steps was unimaginable. Feng Ming only caught a glimpse of movement before Nie Yan had already taken out one of his clones.

*Is this the speed of a legend?* Feng Ming wondered inwardly, shocked. Nie Yan was faster than any player he had ever encountered!

The remaining two figures flashed about incessantly, unleashing a torrent of spells. Ground spikes, ice arrows, lightning storms—all instant-cast spells. However, he found to his dismay that even with all his mental power, he couldn't lock onto Nie Yan's position.

Legendary skills were simply in a league of their own compared to ordinary top-tier class skills!

Feng Ming felt a chill down the back of his neck. Blink, blink, blink! His body flashed from place to place, but the sensation wouldn't go away. It was as if Nie Yan's dagger was right behind his head.

*Poof.* On the other side, his other clone was also eliminated.

Feng Ming felt a cold dread rising in his heart. Just how was Nie Yan doing it? How did Nie Yan still have the spare capacity to deal with his other clone?

What he didn't know was that Nie Yan had deactivated the Frost Aura. If he hadn't, Feng Ming would have frozen to death on the spot!

This was the difference between a top-tier class and a legendary one. They weren't even on the same level! Thinking of this, Feng Ming's spirits sank. This kind of power was something he simply couldn't contend with. He had originally thought that even if he couldn't win against Nie Yan, he could at least make him suffer a bit. Now, he realized how childish that thought was. Reaching the legendary tier was such a difficult thing. He had been trying for almost a year, failing more than twenty times, and still hadn't succeeded. By the time he reached the legendary tier, who knew how far Mad Rogue Nie Yan would have advanced?

No matter how Feng Ming dodged, Nie Yan's killing intent always followed like a shadow. He couldn't imagine how Nie Yan could predict his location every time, since his blinks were completely random. What terrifying predictive abilities!

In dealing with Feng Ming, Nie Yan gained a deeper understanding of the Farnes's Phantom skill. It turned out that in addition to the unparalleled ghostly speed, it also had a strong tracking ability. Under this tracking, even if Feng Ming activated Blink, it was useless. He would still be drawn back by the aura.

With this kind of strength, Duoduo wouldn't be able to win without reaching the legendary tier! However, so much time had passed. Nie Yan wasn't sure if Duoduo had succeeded, so he didn't dare to challenge him rashly just yet.

"You've lost," Nie Yan said calmly. He couldn't deny that Feng Ming was indeed very strong, but a top-tier class simply couldn't PK with a legendary one. The gap couldn't be bridged with levels or equipment.

Feng Ming stopped, looking somewhat despondent. So it turned out that the strength he had always been so proud of was nothing to Nie Yan. He understood that at the moment he felt the icy chill on his neck, he had already been dead. A complete and utter defeat!

Nie Yan stopped a dozen yards away, seeing Feng Ming's lost expression. "It's not a question of skill. The game is designed this way. A top-tier class is bound to lose against a legendary one. If you want to PK, come back when you reach the legendary tier."

Feng Ming gave a bitter smile. "I've seen the power of a legend this time. But even if you hadn't reached the legendary tier, I wouldn't have been able to win against you. You were able to successfully reach the legendary tier, while I still haven't. That's a manifestation of skill in itself. Winning is winning, and losing is losing."

Nie Yan shrugged, noncommittal. Perhaps it was really as Feng Ming said. Right now, even if Tang Yao came, he probably wouldn't last more than a few moves against him. The suppression of the class tier was too great. He hadn't needed to use much skill at all to defeat Feng Ming; it was all skill suppression.

"If you want to improve your skills, spar with Yao Zi, Sun, and the others. It's not helpful to explore on your own. Your skills are still a bit inferior to theirs," Nie Yan said, thinking. He lowered Feng Ming's expectations first, perhaps he could get Feng Ming to join the Niu Ren Tribe. It was still hard to find a master of this level. It would be good if he could get him to join. However, after reaching the legendary tier, Nie Yan didn't really care if Feng Ming joined the Niu Ren Tribe or not. One more wouldn't be too many, and one less wouldn't be too few.

Feng Ming looked a little unconvinced, and was about to say something.

Nie Yan said, "I need to continue leveling."

Nie Yan flew towards the distant Shadow Demon King to continue farming it. After his exchange with Feng Ming, he had a general understanding of his own strength. If Duoduo's strength hadn't increased in the last two months, then he definitely wasn't his opponent!

Angel Faction, I'll be there soon!

Nie Yan's video was widely circulated on the forums. The news of a mysterious expert appearing in the Light Faction spread by word of mouth among the players. Although the senior management of Angel Faction heard this news, they were unusually calm, not expressing any opinion. Duoduo seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, never appearing again. The various elite groups of Angel Faction frequently haunted the various areas of the Sword of the War God. It was said that they were also frantically collecting Void Silver Ores.

Hearing this news from Guo Huai, Nie Yan knew that Duoduo was also desperately leveling up and gearing up. He wondered just how strong that guy would be in five months.

Nie Yan farmed in the Dark Death Domain for three full days. During this time, he heard the news that Feng Ming had joined the Niu Ren Tribe with his team. He had beaten Sun, Tang Yao, and the others within three days. Nie Yan couldn't help but smile. This was probably Feng Ming's way of venting his frustration. With a few more experts, if a conflict broke out with Angel Faction, the Niu Ren Tribe would have a greater advantage.

Thinking of that Feng Ming from his previous life, fearlessly challenging Angel Corps alone, just how fierce was he? Yet in this life, such a strongman was still tamed by him.

Although he had the advantage of rebirth, he had done an extraordinary job to get to where he was today.

He found another fragment of the Death God Finger Bone. The twelve fragments of the Death God Finger Bone were quietly placed in a corner of the bag, instantly releasing a great radiance, exceptionally brilliant.

The twelve fragments of the Death God Finger Bone slowly merged together, becoming one, seamless.

Nie Yan stared at it intently, wanting to see what it would synthesize into after fusion.

The final Death God Finger Bone was very smooth, with no cracks visible, as if it were made of some kind of black metal, emitting a dark lustre.

Death God Finger Bone: Special item. Comes with the Death God's Finger skill. If the opponent's level does not exceed your own by twenty levels, casting this skill to hit the opponent will cause a fatal effect. Skill cooldown is thirty natural days.

Death God's Finger? He wondered what kind of skill it was!

A skill with a cooldown of thirty natural days. If he used it now, the skill should be off cooldown by the time he challenged Duoduo.

Looking into the distance, a Shadow Demon King was walking towards him.

Death God's Finger!

Nie Yan used the Death God's Finger skill. A giant hand appeared out of nowhere in the sky, as if coming from the void, pointing to the Shadow Demon King in front. An aura of death quickly spread out, and the coldness of the atmosphere made people shudder.

This skill was even more powerful than the Destruction Slash attached to the Sword of Zennarde, and even more difficult to avoid.

The giant hand covered over, and the sky seemed to darken. All the creatures around were trembling in the face of this terrifying power.

With a bang, the Shadow Demon King was struck by some kind of powerful force. Its body flew backwards, crashing heavily to the ground, never to get up again.

Instant kill?

Nie Yan was stunned. How powerful the Death God's Finger was, actually causing instant death! This skill was ridiculously strong. In terms of damage, no skill could compare to the Death God's Finger skill. Of course, this skill wasn't invincible. When attacked by the Death God's Finger, you could use a skill to escape. However, the Death God's Finger attacked so fast that it was difficult to avoid, especially when released by Nie Yan. Nie Yan would definitely release the Death God's Finger at the most appropriate time, under the most difficult circumstances to avoid!

Having collected all twelve fragments of the Death God Finger Bone, he had another trump card!

The harvest was good. Looking around, there were still two Shadow Demon Kings left. He could clear them in half an hour at most. Looking at his level, 202, 32%, Nie Yan was very satisfied with the current situation. In addition to his own level, the levels of the several Earth Dragons had also increased significantly. The Light and Darkness Holy Dragon had risen to Level 211, and the Violet Eye Earth Dragon and the Golden Earth Dragon had both risen to Level 205.

Nie Yan let out a long howl, the sound echoing for a long time in the Dark Death Domain. His voice was full of powerful confidence. Just as he had predicted, the moment he left the Dark Death Domain would be the moment when Mad Rogue Nie Yan shone brightly!

Brothers of the Niu Ren Tribe, it's been three years. I, Mad Rogue Nie Yan, am finally coming back!
