Chapter 192 Ambush

Three warriors hacked through the undergrowth ahead, clearing away obstructing branches and other obstacles to make a path.

Nie Yan had considered countless ways to hunt them down, including summoning Darkwing and swooping down from the sky to kill the people from the Alliance of Mages. But he rejected the idea. Darkwing was his trump card, to be revealed only at crucial moments. After all, he didn’t know how many flying mounts the Alliance of Mages had, and the complex terrain of the jungle meant that if they discovered Darkwing and hid somewhere, he might not be able to find them. Darkwing was better suited for aerial combat.

Nie Yan decided to hunt them down on foot. Despite their numbers, to him, they were as good as in his pocket.

The jungle was his domain!

The mages, lagging behind, were chatting about something. When they talked about the Ni Ren Guild, they spoke with a very contemptuous tone.

"The Ni Ren Guild is strong, but it has too many enemies. It's simply courting death to provoke the Century Financial Group, the virtual gaming world's overlord. The Century Financial Group hasn't even shown its full power yet. If they really got serious, they would have countless ways to bring down the Ni Ren Guild."

Hearing their words, Nie Yan sneered and slowly crept up behind an arcane mage, getting closer and closer.

Five yards, three yards, one yard. He suddenly pounced on him like an arrow released from a bow.

These dozen or so players were gathered together, relying on their numbers, so their guard was somewhat lax. Nie Yan landed a stun on the back of the arcane mage's head. Nie Yan's movements were too fast; before the arcane mage could react, he was hit by the stun. Nie Yan finished him off with a Backstab. Nie Yan had top-grade equipment and was a much higher level than them. His attacks were simply unbearable for these cloth-armor mages.

The surrounding mages looked over, and what caught their eye was the Sword of Zennarde in Nie Yan's hand, burning with a dark, eerie flame.

"It's Kuangzei Nie Yan!" The elemental mage next to him cried out in terror.

They hadn't expected Nie Yan to suddenly ambush them, killing one of their teammates in such a short amount of time.

They waved their staffs, and spells shot towards Nie Yan. They were all elites from various guilds and studios. Even though they were terrified by the name of Kuangzei Nie Yan, their mental fortitude was still strong. They knew that they should counterattack at this time, rather than running away in fear.

Nie Yan used Gale Step to evade the magical attacks. As the elemental mage next to him was about to retreat, a dagger appeared in front of his throat, and with a Throat Cut, blood spurted out.

After the elemental mage was killed, Nie Yan revealed himself behind him.

Such speed! Nie Yan's speed chilled them to the bone.

Killing two people in quick succession, Nie Yan used Shadow Dance again to dodge a magical attack and instantly pounced on another arcane mage, killing him in the blink of an eye.

These mages didn't even have time to cast skills like Repel, and were simply mowed down by Nie Yan.

These so-called elites were nothing but trash in front of Nie Yan!

It wasn't until Nie Yan had killed three people that the warriors clearing the path ahead noticed the chaos behind them.

"Damn, someone's ambushing us!"

They activated Charge one after another and pounced towards Nie Yan, but unfortunately, the jungle terrain made their Charge less effective than on the plains. The haphazardly growing trees hindered their progress.

In the blink of an eye, three of the six mages in the back had been killed. The remaining three mages panicked. Even when they encountered some top-tier players in the past, they could rely on their skills to fight them for a few rounds. They had never experienced anything like this before. They had fantasized about what it would be like to fight Kuangzei Nie Yan, but they never imagined it would be like this.

Nie Yan's movements were simply too fast, so fast that they didn't have time to react. They couldn't even cast a single skill; waving their staffs took time!

Only when you were in the thick of it did you know where the name Kuangzei Nie Yan came from!

The three mages were terrified and fled in different directions.

Nie Yan caught up with one of them and mercilessly used Assassinate. The Sword of Zennarde pierced through the mage's chest, killing another one.

At this time, there were only two mages and three warriors left on the field. The other two thieves were nowhere to be seen, perhaps on their way.

The three warriors charged over, trying to drag Nie Yan into a melee, but Nie Yan used Stealth, disappearing from their sight.

"He's stealthed!"

"Does anyone have anti-stealth skills?"

"No!"

After a brief exchange, the jungle returned to silence.

The mages and warriors didn't dare to speak, concentrating and trying to sense Nie Yan's position, but everything they did was in vain. With their perception ability, they couldn't detect Nie Yan's specific location. One of the higher-level, level 72 warriors carefully took a step forward, wanting to get closer to his companions. The quiet jungle made him feel uneasy.

Just as he took that step, a flash of cold light swept past his eyes. He frantically prepared to give Nie Yan a Hamstring, but Nie Yan's Sword of Zennarde hit his forehead with a Stun, putting him in a stunned state.

With a Backstab followed by an Eviscerate, the warrior fell to the ground.

When the other four heard the commotion and looked over, only a corpse was left on the ground. It was as if Nie Yan had never appeared.

Their eyes searched the quiet jungle, but they still couldn't find Nie Yan's trace. They began to panic. This was a boundless fear, because they had no idea when Nie Yan would appear and give them a stab.

When Nie Yan made a move, it was a guaranteed kill!

The other two thieves arrived. One of the thieves, wearing a silver-gray leather jacket, greeted them and asked, "We're back. What happened here?"

Just as the others were about to warn him, a flash of black flame swept past. Before the thief could react to what was happening, he had already fallen to the ground. The remaining people exchanged glances and ran in different directions.

Only in this way might a few of them survive; otherwise, they would be hunted down one by one by Nie Yan.

Nie Yan chased after them and killed two, then looked in the other directions. The remaining people had run further and further away, and he could no longer catch up.

He had killed eight out of eleven people, which was already a very good result.

Nie Yan picked up the items that had dropped on the ground, disappeared into stealth, and continued to move towards the east.

Apart from this more intense battle, if the Alliance of Mages and the Ni Ren Guild players encountered each other in the wild, they generally maintained a restrained state, avoiding each other as much as possible to preserve their strength, so as not to get themselves killed. This was what their guild leaders had instructed them to do. There had been a few sporadic battles between the Alliance of Mages and the Ni Ren Guild, but no clear winner had emerged.

Just as Nie Yan was flying across the empty grassland, he suddenly received a message that Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun and six or seven Ni Ren Guild players were being chased by more than twenty people from the Alliance of Mages. Only he was left, running through a jungle, in a very dangerous situation.

Hearing this news, Nie Yan's expression changed. He knew Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun's strength, which ranked in the top ten in the Ni Ren Guild. For the Alliance of Mages to wipe out a team of Ni Ren Guild players, leaving only Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun to escape, the opponents must be formidable.

"Yu Wang, what's the situation?" Nie Yan asked.

"The other six brothers are dead. Only I'm left. There are three very strong people among them. I can't beat them. Two are from the Wild Wolves Studio, and one is a Bloodfiend thief. These guys are too difficult to deal with," Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun said breathlessly. He was still running, trying to escape from those people's pursuit.

His luck was bad, running into the people from the Wild Wolves Studio and Bloodfiend.

"Find a place, and we'll kill them together!" Nie Yan said, thinking of the Ring of Instant Travel in his hand. These rings of instant travel were definitely good items. Using the teleportation skill of the Ring of Instant Travel, they could launch an ambush on those people.

Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Nie Yan's meaning. "I'll lead them over!"

Nie Yan immediately informed Cui Can Dao Guang and the others of his idea. When Cui Can Dao Guang and the others heard this, they also sharpened their knives and began to prepare.

In a jungle in the Remote Mountains, Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun ran quickly. More than twenty players from the Alliance of Mages were approaching from all directions, trying to surround him.

"Damn, that kid runs pretty fast. I was almost killed by him just now. Fortunately, one of the bosses from the Wild Wolves Studio saved me," a thief said, looking at the two people in the distance wearing cloaks, feeling relieved, and full of admiration for the people from the Wild Wolves Studio.

In that battle just now, all the players were completely convinced by the two people from the Wild Wolves Studio. The Wild Wolves Guild wasn't just a name; they had formidable strength! Therefore, they were all now listening to the commands of the two people from the Wild Wolves Studio, not daring to say a word. In Faith, strength determined status!

"Gambler, after fighting him, what do you think of the strength of that guy called Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun?" one of the players from the Wild Wolves Studio asked another.

The warrior called Gambler said with a grave expression, "If it was one-on-one, I wouldn't be his opponent. The Ni Ren Guild really does have something up their sleeves. Si Kong, report this news to Wu Ya, so he can be prepared."

The holy knight next to him, called Si Kong, nodded.

A Bloodfiend thief in the distance looked at Gambler and Si Kong, deep in thought, and entered stealth, chasing after Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun.

"There's a dead end ahead. He can't run anymore!" Si Kong smiled.

Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun was blocked by them, with nowhere to escape. In a moment, Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun would be caught in their trap.
