Chapter 40 Situation

The Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena was closing in from behind, and the ordinary players retreated in panic.

Just as Nie Yan was about to use a jumping skill to escape, seeing that there was no road ahead, more than twenty people suddenly sprang out in front of him.

These twenty-odd people were all players from the Satrin Empire, with various classes: Druids, Shamans, Thieves, Mages, Warriors. The melee units quickly surrounded him, while the Mages and Shamans chanted spells.

These twenty-odd people did not panic and flee like ordinary players, but instead surrounded Nie Yan. It seemed very abrupt.

Bear Form!

Three Druids dropped to all fours and transformed into stout giant bears, pouncing from the front.

Windfury Howl!

Shadow Bolt!

The Mages and Shamans all released spells.

Three Elf Thieves entered stealth, wandering outside.

Their movements were skilled, clearly some well-trained, expert-level players.

At this moment, Xie Yao, Undying Scoundrel, and others standing on top of some buildings saw twenty-odd people surrounding Nie Yan and sensed that something was wrong.

"Nie Yan, be careful!"

"Nie Yan, watch out!"

Everyone exclaimed in alarm. Nie Yan was in danger. Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena was chasing from behind, and there were people blocking him in front. There wasn't much time for Nie Yan to react. Everyone held their breath for him.

Not only Xie Yao, Undying Scoundrel, and others, but also the players watching the live video on the forums were on tenterhooks.

In Clementine Fortress, Unyielding Angel and Cao Xu were sitting leisurely in their chairs.

Seeing more than twenty players suddenly appearing to block Nie Yan, Unyielding Angel couldn't help but glance at Cao Xu beside him. He had to admit that Cao Xu was really quick.

"Brother Cao has good methods," Unyielding Angel said. The people he had sent were still on the way, and the Century Financial Group had already made their move.

Cao Xu smiled.

Unyielding Angel’s tone suddenly changed, "If it were me, I would probably die in this situation, but that person is Mad Rogue Nie Yan."

Cao Xu raised his eyebrows. Nie Yan was indeed a difficult guy. They had plotted against Nie Yan countless times before, thinking he was sure to die, but each time Nie Yan managed to escape successfully.

Before Cao Xu could say anything, the two of them stared intently at the video, unable to look away. Their hearts couldn't help but rise. This was a golden opportunity that they absolutely couldn’t miss!

Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena raised a tentacle and lashed it down.

Nie Yan jumped away. With a loud bang, Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena’s tentacle struck the ground beside him, and the stone pavement shattered into dust.

Just as Nie Yan was about to use Phantom Dance to attract Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena's attention, more than a dozen spells shot towards him from directly ahead. The ground beneath his feet softened slightly. It was a Mud Pit spell! Several instant-cast curses landed on Nie Yan, but due to the Abak Set’s high magic resistance, the effects of these curses were basically negligible.

Nie Yan twisted his body, and these spells whizzed past him.

Nie Yan’s gaze immediately locked onto those players. These people must have been sent by Angel Corps or the Century Financial Group!

Courting death!

A murderous intent suddenly flashed in Nie Yan's eyes, and an eerie red light burst out: Eye of Truth!

Under his gaze, the three stealthing Thieves immediately had nowhere to hide.

The three giant bears pounced. Nie Yan jumped up and flew over them. After landing, he bounced out like a spring, pouncing towards one of the Warriors.

"Stop him!"

"Don't let him run!"

The Mages and Shamans released spells one after another, shooting them towards Nie Yan.

Nie Yan activated Death Immunity. Bang, bang, bang! He took seven or eight spells, but these spells only did a few dozen points of damage to him. Due to the effect of Death Immunity, those controlling spells did not take effect.

Seeing Nie Yan pouncing, the Warrior raised the greatsword in his hand, roared, and his body suddenly swelled.

It was the Berserk effect!

"Go to hell!" the Warrior swung his sword down, and a powerful sword aura ripped through the air.

An ant trying to shake a tree, ridiculous and overestimating oneself. Nie Yan smiled disdainfully, used Gale Strike, his speed suddenly increased a lot, and he approached the Warrior in an instant.

With a bang, the Warrior's sword slashed at Nie Yan, dealing more than three hundred points of damage.

The equipment was not on the same level at all. This Warrior was equipped with level 130 gear, although there were some sub-legendary and legendary items, they were really not that great, while Nie Yan was equipped with a level 180 legendary set. The gap between the equipment was immediately reflected.

Nie Yan withstood the Warrior's strike, and the daggers in his hands *pfft pfft pfft* slashed across the Warrior's chest in three consecutive strikes, almost simultaneously.

With a bang, the Warrior with over seventeen thousand health was instantly killed by Nie Yan.

At this moment, damage numbers floated above the heads of more than twenty people around him at the same time, *bang bang bang*, and they fell to the ground.

This was the effect of Killing Intent! As long as Nie Yan locked onto someone, they would suffer collateral damage from Killing Intent.

A ground full of corpses.

Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena’s three tentacles wrapped around. Nie Yan immediately jumped, his body flying dozens of yards, jumping onto a building, and then flew away.

Behind him was a chaotic mess, Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena continued to slaughter the players below in a rage.

Nie Yan and the Century Financial Group's twenty-odd people only made contact for a few seconds, but that scene stunned all the players. He instantly killed more than twenty people upon meeting them. This was too frightening.

Many of them couldn't wait to replay the video, slow down the lens, and wanted to know how Nie Yan did it.

"What skill is this? AoE damage?"

"I remember a skill called Shadow Slaughter that has this effect."

"Those guys actually dared to sneak attack Mad Rogue Nie Yan. Aren't they asking for a beating?"

The players saw from the video that these guys who ambushed Nie Yan should have been sent by Angel Corps or the Century Financial Group, but their ambush was completely ineffective against Nie Yan. The spells and skills of these people could only cause a maximum of dozens or hundreds of points of damage to Nie Yan, while Nie Yan's health was as high as tens of thousands. Wasn't this courting death?

Fire Fox and the others, hidden in the corner ready to strike and ambush Nie Yan at any time, exchanged horrified glances. If their group had been there, they would probably have ended up like those people just now. They sent a message to Cao Xu about the failure of the battle, waiting for orders from Cao Xu's side.

Cao Xu and Unyielding Angel did not expect this result. They paused for a moment, and the two looked at each other and smiled wryly.

"Brother Cao, it seems these methods are ineffective against Mad Rogue Nie Yan. This guy has become abnormal after wearing the Abak Set. A level 180 legendary set. I don't know where this guy got it. He actually collected all of these things that are so hard to find." Unyielding Angel said, his words full of helplessness. How could he not hope that the people Cao Xu sent could successfully kill Nie Yan, but it was really too difficult.

Cao Xu was also very depressed. Although the people he sent had not been promoted to top-tier classes, they were all the most talented players under his command, only one class-change quest away from top-tier classes. They were wearing good equipment that he had spent a lot of effort to collect, including legendary-level items. But even such a group of people only caused dozens of points of damage when attacking Nie Yan, the highest being the three hundred that the Warrior slashed out. Nie Yan wasn't even scratched! And when Nie Yan killed these people, it was an instant kill, instantly killing twenty-three people!

"Ordinary players can't even break his defense, Brother Fan. No matter what grievances we had in the past, I hope we can work together in the future. Otherwise, when Mad Rogue Nie Yan frees up his hands, there will be no place for us in the Satrin Empire. Quickly get a few more top-tier classes out there." Cao Xu said, he became even more aware of the urgency of the situation.

"You don't need to tell me this, Brother Cao, I understand. If you need anything in the future, Brother Cao, just say it."

Today was Nie Yan's first battle after putting on the Abak Set, and the power of the Abak Set left a deep impression on the players of the entire server.

The chaotic battle in Ocorun City continued. Although Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena was powerful and invincible, she found it difficult to capture the lightning-fast Nie Yan, but she was still occasionally hit by a few of Nie Yan's attacks.

Nie Yan led Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena around in circles. Because Nie Yan's attacks were fierce, Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena's attention was completely focused on Nie Yan, and the surrounding players, arrow towers, turrets, and ironclad catapults could fully unleash their firepower.

Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena destroyed a total of sixty or seventy buildings, turning the eastern part of Ocorun City into ruins, and at least one hundred and fifty to sixty thousand players were killed, many players even dying several times.

After five or six hours, after paying a huge price, Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena's health was finally reduced to about 10%.

"Everyone, keep it up, the Soul Wanderer Princess is about to die!"

After such a long protracted battle, their patience and stamina had reached their limits. Seeing Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena’s health drop below 10%, their emotions became a little agitated.

Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena chanted a spell, and raging flames burned within a radius of three hundred yards around her.

The surrounding players died instantly.

After using Divine Descent, Nie Yan quickly ran out of the burning range of the flames. Looking back, he saw Soul Wanderer Princess Ayena standing in the raging flames, the black firelight setting off her pale face. She was murmuring a series of obscure incantations.

At this time, she was like a tall demon standing in the flames of hell.

Nie Yan’s heart was shocked. This guy wanted to release a forbidden spell! A level 180 Demonified Lord's forbidden spell. Nie Yan could not imagine what the consequences would be if such a forbidden spell bombarded Ocorun City.

The Ocorun City he had built with so much effort would be reduced to ruins from then on!

No, he had to stop her! Nie Yan’s gaze was more determined than ever before.
