Chapter 171 A River of Blood

Kuang Fa and Shengyan hadn't expected there to be other people here. In their view, Kuangzei Nieyan's ability to sneak in might involve special methods. The defense of the entire Aegidon Fortress was so tight, and there were hundreds of thousands of people active within the fortress. To be able to sneak in without being discovered was simply incredible. Yet now, so many thieves had snuck in. Did this mean the defenses of Aegidon Fortress were nonexistent?

Kuang Fa and Shengyan reacted quickly. Upon discovering the thieves' ambush, they immediately cast skills to resist. However, they were facing skilled players like Wangzhe Tianxia and Sun, and it was a two-on-one situation!

Kuang Fa waved his staff, preparing to cast the Teleport skill to escape. He had just finished half of the two-second incantation when Sun used a lock-down, causing Kuang Fa's body to stiffen.

Sun approached Kuang Fa, raising a foot to kick him.

Ice Imprisonment!

Kuang Fa finished waving his staff, and his body was immediately protected by a layer of hard ice.

*Bang!* Sun kicked the solid ice.

Ice Imprisonment only lasted two seconds. After two seconds, the ice disappeared into thin air.

Sun pounced again.

Kuang Fa turned to run, waving his staff to cast Flame Shackles, intending to bind Sun. However, as soon as his magic was complete, a cold flash passed by.

Kuang Fa's heart tightened abruptly. *Crap!* Being ambushed while casting magic was extremely fatal.

He was about to switch to another skill when he felt something sharp cut the back of his head. Immediately, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

A figure appeared behind Kuang Fa; it was Yichui Dingqing. When Kuang Fa used Ice Imprisonment, she had entered stealth and was lurking nearby. Taking advantage of Kuang Fa's engagement with Sun, she suddenly ambushed him successfully.

Just as Yichui Dingqing stunned Kuang Fa, Sun swiftly dodged Kuang Fa's Flame Shackles, using Penetrate to stab Kuang Fa's throat. Yichui Dingqing followed up with a Backstab from behind.

Kuang Fa staggered and fell.

When they turned their heads, they saw Wangzhe Tianxia and Luonan de Qingwa had already taken down Shengyan.

Although Kuang Fa and Shengyan were skilled, they were still a bit behind players like Sun and Wangzhe Tianxia. In a normal situation, they might not even be able to win one-on-one, let alone two-on-one. With Sun and the others' coordination, Kuang Fa and Shengyan basically had no chance of survival.

"Guild Leader's down."

The people from the Mage Alliance showed dazed expressions upon seeing Kuang Fa and Shengyan's corpses on the ground. Their guild leaders were dead! What should they do? Should they continue fighting?

Just as the Mage Alliance was stunned, the Golden Land Dragon spewed out a Dragon Breath, the searing temperature instantly melting three Mage Alliance players into ashes.

"Everyone, run!"

"Damn, the Golden Land Dragon is too insane!"

The Mage Alliance players scattered and retreated. Nie Yan suddenly appeared behind one of the mages, slashing down with his sword and killing him on the spot.

Nieyan killed three people, and the Golden Land Dragon went on a rampage, taking down over a dozen, leaving corpses strewn across the ground.

Sun, Wangzhe Tianxia, and the others immediately pounced on Xiaoyao Fengtian and the other players.

Seeing the situation was bad, the Mage Alliance players used Random Teleport Scrolls to escape. Some had just taken out their scrolls and hadn't had a chance to use them before being cut down.

A few minutes later, the hall was filled with corpses, leaving only Nie Yan, his four companions, and the Golden Land Dragon.

They collected the equipment on the ground.

"Nieyan-dage, are we going back?" Sun asked, looking at Nie Yan.

Nie Yan glanced at the corpses strewn across the ground. A crazy idea suddenly came to him. "Not going back for now. Since we're here, let's give them hell! We'll fight our way out and make Aegidon Fortress run red with blood."

"I like the sound of that," Wangzhe Tianxia said with a slight smile.

"You guys go have some fun. I'll take the Golden Land Dragon and fight our way out!" Nie Yan said. Thieves weren't a class for charging into battle; they were good at ambushes. They had to use that specialty to the fullest.

"We'll listen to Nieyan-laoda. We won't even frown, even if it means walking through fire and water," Luonan de Qingwa said. He was infected by Nie Yan and Wangzhe Tianxia's boldness.

Yichui Dingqing crossed her arms, her face showing a helpless expression. Men were too easily impulsive. Since everyone had decided, she would go along with it.

"Alright, listen to my command," Nie Yan said. He already had a plan in mind. He was going to cause a sensation in Aegidon Fortress! Killing Kuang Fa and Shengyan wasn't enough!

At this moment, Shengyan and Kuang Fa had already revived at the graveyard.

"Damn that Kuangzei Nieyan!" Kuang Fa cursed, feeling frustrated. With people like Sun and Wangzhe Tianxia, there was basically no chance of escaping a coordinated assassination.

"Are Kuangzei Nieyan and the others still in Aegidon Fortress?" Shengyan asked. It was too late to say anything. Nilestone would definitely upload the video to the internet. They would be disgraced. To be taken down in their own home was such a shameful thing!

"They should have gone back by now," Kuang Fa said reasonably. Since Kuangzei Nieyan had succeeded in the assassination, he shouldn't stay there. After all, it was Aegidon Fortress. If they organized tens of thousands of players to surround and attack Nie Yan and the others, and found a few Shadow Priests to lock them down, even if Nie Yan and the others had heaven-defying skills, they wouldn't be able to escape Aegidon Fortress.

Kuang Fa's voice comm rang. He answered it and listened for a few sentences before his expression suddenly changed.

"What happened?" Shengyan, seeing Kuang Fa's unpleasant expression, asked.

"Kuangzei Nieyan is still at our guild headquarters! That guy is too arrogant!" Kuang Fa cursed, immediately issuing an order in the guild chat to organize the Mage Alliance players.

Shengyan seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed Kuangzei Nieyan didn't want to end things so easily. Just how big of a commotion did he want to cause in Aegidon Fortress?

Kuang Fa looked at Shengyan and said, "Let's go take a look together."

Shengyan nodded. At this point, it wasn't just the Mage Alliance's problem. If something happened to the Mage Alliance, Holy Guardians wouldn't have an easy time either!

The two hurried toward the guild headquarters.

At this moment, Aegidon Fortress had already descended into complete chaos. Sun, Wangzhe Tianxia, and the others appeared from time to time, ambushing Mage Alliance players. Aegidon Fortress had fallen into a state of white terror. People were being taken down constantly. Many didn't even know how they died. Sun, Wangzhe Tianxia, and the others appeared silently, killed one or two people, then quietly disappeared.

Many people watched as their comrades were stunned, but before they could rescue them, their comrades were already cold corpses. Sun, Wangzhe Tianxia, and the others had already disappeared from their line of sight.

The Mage Alliance's casualty numbers were rapidly accumulating, soon breaking one hundred, then continuing toward two hundred.

Outside the guild headquarters, on the streets, the enormous Golden Land Dragon appeared in the Mage Alliance players' line of sight. This invincible top-tier pet, combined with its level far surpassing ordinary players, immediately displayed incredibly powerful might.

Nie Yan climbed onto a high tower next to the street, holding Doro, the Headless Horseman's, Repeating Crossbow, and aimed at the players below, firing arrows while controlling the Golden Land Dragon.

The Mage Alliance players on the street didn't even understand what was happening.

"It's Kuangzei Nieyan's Golden Land Dragon!"

"How could it appear here!"

The streets were instantly in chaos. The streets were too crowded, and the players shoved each other, slowing down their escape.

The Golden Land Dragon spewed out a Dragon Breath toward the most densely packed area, instantly turning over a dozen Mage Alliance players into streaks of white light.

"Everyone, scatter!" A player shouted loudly.

But how could they scatter in such a crowded street!

"Don't retreat! There are so many of us, we can easily take down that Golden Land Dragon!"

"Kill it! Warriors, charge! Hold it back!"

Nie Yan glanced into the distance. Several hundred players were gathering together, wanting to organize and deal with the Golden Land Dragon. He coldly smiled and gave the Golden Land Dragon an order.

The Golden Land Dragon uttered a string of obscure draconic words, opening its mouth to exhale a gust of air and emit a low roar.

In the distant sky, scorching magical elements rapidly gathered, and a giant fireball formed in the sky. This scorching fireball fell from the sky with a loud boom, exploding and igniting everything within a 30x30-yard area with searing flames.

A series of screams rang out. Eight or nine out of ten of the several hundred players were instantly killed. Very few survived.

The distant Mage Alliance players who saw this scene turned green. They didn't dare stay any longer. The Golden Land Dragon's reputation was so great that they couldn't muster any resistance.

Nie Yan was slaughtering the Mage Alliance players wantonly.

Seeing the Golden Land Dragon chasing after a large group of players, Wangzhe Tianxia couldn't help but sigh, "The Golden Land Dragon is still the most powerful. We only managed to take down over thirty people after all this time. The Golden Land Dragon took out several hundred with one AoE spell."

"That's for sure," Luonan de Qingwa deeply agreed.

Just as the Golden Land Dragon was slaughtering them, expert-level players within Aegidon Fortress were rushing over from all directions. A team of over a thousand people appeared from the west, their movements well-organized. Wangzhe Tianxia climbed to a high place and looked over. The leaders were Kuang Fa and Shengyan.

"Nie Yan, Kuang Fa and Shengyan are coming with a troop. Be careful," Wangzhe Tianxia whispered. Even if the Golden Land Dragon was strong, it couldn't face a troop of over a thousand people at the same time.

"Understood," Nie Yan nodded.

Kuang Fa and Shengyan led their troop of over a thousand people over menacingly. Seeing the arrogant Golden Land Dragon in the distance, Kuang Fa's rage soared. Kuangzei Nieyan was too arrogant! He was going too far!

Nie Yan saw Kuang Fa and Shengyan's troop in the distance. After a moment of consideration, he jumped down from the roof. This time, he was going to play something big!

"Suda, take your troops and charge! All mages, prepare!" Kuang Fa roared. He couldn't let the Golden Land Dragon act so arrogantly any longer!

Over two hundred warriors activated Charge, rushing toward the Golden Land Dragon like a torrent of steel.
