Chapter 129 An Encirclement

The Triumphant Empire headquarters was much more spacious, having been upgraded to a level two guild headquarters.

The hundreds of seats in the hall were empty, with only two people sitting in the front row. One was Po Tian, and the other was Chen Bo, who had been embarrassed by Nie Yan and Tang Yao and had angrily quit the team.

They were watching the video of Xiao Gou and Mingyu Zhihu returning from outside the Blackflame Forest.

Chen Bo's face was twisted like he'd been injected with chicken blood, and he clenched his fists. He hated Nie Yan and Tang Yao for making him lose face in front of Yu Lan and Yao Yao. He wished they were dead!

"They're dead meat!" Chen Bo gloated as he watched Nie Yan and the others get surrounded.

Po Tian, on the other hand, was calm. He not only wanted Nie Yan dead, but he also wanted all of Nie Yan's equipment to drop, so he could never raise his head again! Without Tang Yao and Nie Yan, he didn't believe that the newly established Niu Ren Tribe had any future.

"It's all thanks to you for finding an inside man," Po Tian said admiringly, taking a sip of tea.

"I have to thank Boss Po Tian for giving me this opportunity," Chen Bo said with a flattering expression. He knew that the man in front of him was a big shot.

"From now on, you'll follow us in Triumphant Empire."

"Thank you, Boss Po Tian," Chen Bo said, overjoyed.

As the two watched the video, an arcane mage in the rear of Yu Lan's team began to chant a spell. A ball of arcane fire slowly gathered in his palm.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to Po Tian's plan.

Who exactly were Xiao Gou and Mingyu Zhihu chatting with? Nie Yan's mind raced. His eyes swept over every member of Yu Lan's team, and finally landed on an arcane mage named Xiang Jiao at the very back of the team. He had a pained expression on his face and was whispering to someone.

Nie Yan suddenly understood. The vast majority of Yu Lan's team was innocent. However, there would inevitably be one or two vile and despicable people. No matter how painful his inner struggle, it could not cover up the fact that he had betrayed everyone in Yu Lan's team!

Xiang Jiao had been bought by Triumphant Empire. He had colluded with them to set up this trap, which led to Nie Yan and Tang Yao being surrounded.

He saw a magical light slowly gathering in Xiang Jiao's palm, and shooting towards a member of Triumphant Empire on the opposite side.

"Xiang Jiao, what are you doing?" a teammate exclaimed.

The moment Xiang Jiao released the spell, Nie Yan applied to the server to disband the team. But before he could click confirm, the arcane fire ball of the arcane mage Xiang Jiao exploded on a member of Triumphant Empire.

Nie Yan was one step too slow!

Xiao Gou glanced down at the system prompt.

System: The team to which player Xiang Jiao belongs has attacked your team. You may exercise self-defense for 30 minutes!

Xiao Gou revealed a ferocious smile and shouted, "Kill!"

A barrage of spells flew towards Nie Yan and the others.

At this time, Nie Yan and the others had no way to exercise self-defense!

Bai Kaishui swung his greatsword and slashed at Xiang Jiao, then followed up with a Flame Slash, killing Xiang Jiao. His expression was pained. He had never expected that a brother who had leveled up with them would turn out to be a traitor.

"Kill, we'll send Nie Yan and Yaozi brothers out!" Bai Kaishui took the lead, and the rest of the team followed closely behind.

Yu Lan and the others also followed closely behind, with Nie Yan and Tang Yao right behind them.

The first round of spells from the Triumphant Empire was released, and a hundred spells rained down, a magnificent sight.

Two mages from Yu Lan's team stood in front of Nie Yan and Tang Yao. *Peng, peng, peng*, the spells exploded densely, instantly creating five white lights.

They had been fine just now, but in a moment, they had become corpses.

"Damn it!" Tang Yao cursed angrily, and a series of Arcane Fireballs spewed out. At this moment, the players witnessed Tang Yao's firepower.

An Arcane Fireball exploded on a Triumphant Empire player, sparks flying everywhere, -438. The Triumphant Empire player was instantly killed. *Peng, peng, peng*, a series of Arcane Fireballs exploded, and Tang Yao instantly killed five Triumphant Empire players.

Tang Yao's status instantly turned into a scarlet red name. He was bloodthirsty, and almost never stopped.

Bai Kaishui was the first to come into contact with a group of players. He used a Shield Bash to knock away the warrior at the front and charged in.

"Kill!"

More than a dozen people were instantly submerged in the encirclement of three hundred players.

Nie Yan was also filled with fighting spirit. If he still held back, he would be letting down these brothers who were risking their lives for him!

Divine Judgement!

Nie Yan's health instantly soared by 500 points, and faint blue shields rose in front of him. An armored warrior came head-on from the front, with two mages chanting spells behind him. Nie Yan suddenly burst out, the dagger in his hand condensing dazzling electric light, like a thunderbolt, striking towards the armored warrior.

With a *peng* sound, the electric light pierced through the armored warrior's chest.

-540.

The armored warrior's health instantly bottomed out, and he fell to the ground with an incredulous expression.

He never expected that Nie Yan would kill him in seconds.

The Chapter of Freedom and the Chapter of Courage, two legendary fragments, their combined skills were extremely terrifying, simply an invincible killing skill at the current level!

The two mages behind him who were chanting spells were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that Nie Yan, a thief, would break through the armored warrior's defense line. They were still chanting spells, and it was too late to interrupt the skills.

Nie Yan stunned one of the mages, causing him to be dizzy, and then used a vital attack, the dagger slicing across the mage's neck, and blood splattering out.

Assassinate!

-189.

Before the mage could react, he fell to the ground.

Nie Yan's movements were fast, like lightning, and he knocked down one in a moment. The arcane mage next to him was about to leave, but Nie Yan ambushed him, then used a Backstab followed by a Rupture, tearing open the arcane mage's back.

Before the arcane mage could make a move, he also fell to the ground.

Charging into the densely populated area, with a *peng* sound, a handful of Intermediate Flash Powder exploded in Nie Yan's palm, like a burning sun, emitting hot and dazzling light.

The strong light blinded the eyes of about fifty Triumphant Empire players around him.

Huang Hun also erupted. He no longer cared about whether the equipment on his body would drop after turning red, and he turned on the firepower. Arcane Fireballs spewed out, killing two people in a row. His attack was also very fierce.

Another wave of spells from the Triumphant Empire covered them, taking away five or six more people from Yu Lan's team. The entire Yu Lan's team was left with only nine people, but they continued to charge out.

"Kill!" Tang Yao went crazy, regardless of his own safety, and drank a bottle of Low-Grade Instant Recovery Potion, chanting Meteor Fall.

With a level three Arcane Sprite, it only took Tang Yao 3 seconds to cast Meteor Fall.

However, in such a fierce battle, 3 seconds was enough to kill someone. If he was interrupted, it would be over!

Seeing Tang Yao cast Meteor Fall, Nie Yan had another handful of Intermediate Flash Powder in his hand. With a *peng* sound, there was another burst of strong light.

All the players near Tang Yao lost their vision, allowing him to successfully cast the Meteor Fall skill. Waves of fireballs bombarded down, like a rainstorm, *peng, peng, peng*, smashing into the most densely populated area of players.

Layers upon layers of damage values popped up. No player could withstand Tang Yao's spell damage. Almost twenty players were harvested like wheat, falling to the ground in patches!

The ground there was scorched black, a mess.

Po Tian, who was watching the live video broadcast at the Triumphant Empire guild headquarters, twitched. The dozens of players that Tang Yao had reaped were not ordinary players, but the elite forces of the Triumphant Empire Guild! But they seemed so vulnerable under Tang Yao's terrifying spell damage.

Nie Yan desperately released Flash Powder, greatly interfering with the vision of nearby players. Nie Yan's attack was also very fierce. He circled behind a player, the dagger flashed, and in a few seconds, another one would fall!

Never had anyone seen a thief with such terrifying attacks!

Nie Yan killed six people, and all of his skills except Shadow Dance and Vanish were exhausted.

The burst power of a thief was amazing, but the sustained ability was very poor. Once he ran out of skills, he was like a toothless tiger, a leather armor who could only slash!

A thief pounced on Nie Yan, the dagger in his hand stabbing towards Nie Yan's forehead.

Stun!

Nie Yan took a step to the side, dodging the thief's attack. He used his right hand and the dagger stabbed into the thief's back.

The thief's stun failed, he was stunned for a moment, and only felt a flash in front of his eyes. Nie Yan had already flashed behind him, and a -180 damage value floated up from his head.

Even without skills, wanting to play you to death is still simple!

*Peng, peng, peng*, three spells exploded on Nie Yan, exploding out several misses. After Divine Judgement was activated, all spells were immune!

"He's immune to spells!"

"Use arrows, warriors charge!" Xiao Gou didn't expect Nie Yan to have a skill that was immune to magic.

Thieves with bows and arrows began to take out their bows and arrows and shoot at Nie Yan.

Nie Yan endured the attack, waving his dagger, and another -250 damage floated up from the thief's head, a critical hit! The thief fell to the ground.

"Eighth!" Nie Yan looked at the state, his red name had turned purple.

The most red-named were not Nie Yan, but Tang Yao and Huang Hun. The red names of the two of them had turned black.

Nie Yan glanced at the field. There were six people left: Nie Yan, Huang Hun, Tang Yao, Yao Yao, Yue Er, and Yu Lan. Bai Kaishui had attracted most of the firepower, his health was exhausted, and he had hung up. The remaining six people were only left with residual blood, struggling to death.

Even Nie Yan, who had a Life Shield, had only 20% of his health left due to rushing too hard, and the Intermediate Flash Powder was too dazzling, attracting a lot of attacks.

And there were still more than two hundred enemies, endless like a tide!

The only possibility was to let the Arcane Sprite explode a bloody path!

"Kill!" Tang Yao went berserk, the magic never stopped, and the health was running out. Nie Yan stuck a combat bandage on him.

+20, +20, +20.

Under the fierce attack of Triumphant Empire and others, the Arcane Sprite's health was only a little bit left.

"Goodbye!" Tang Yao's eyes filled with tears. This was his first pet, and he really couldn't bear to blow up the Arcane Sprite.

"Brothers, kill!" A deafening shout suddenly sounded outside the battlefield, stunning everyone on the field.
