Chapter 134 The Tables Turn

Xie Huang Bajian roared and brought his greatsword down in a powerful cleave towards Knight's Elegy's head.

Just as Xie Huang Bajian’s greatsword was about to strike Knight's Elegy, a dagger suddenly pierced Xie Huang Bajian's heart like a shooting star, and blood spurted out.

They were too close, and the attack was too fast. Xie Huang Bajian didn't even have time to react.

An incredulous expression appeared on his face. Normally, if a Thief approached him, he would have detected it quickly and been able to retaliate. But he never expected that this Thief would silently reach his back and launch an attack when he was only two yards away. With such a close-range surprise attack, he was caught off guard and struck by the dagger.

The hand gripping his greatsword fell limply, and his consciousness descended into chaos. This was the stun effect of a Thief's attack.

A Thief’s figure slowly emerged from behind Xie Huang Bajian. Sun smiled slightly; his Ambush had been quite effective. When Xie Huang Bajian had used that Shockwave, he hadn’t left. Instead, he had used a Stealth skill. The first two seconds of invincibility granted by the Stealth skill had blocked the Shockwave. Then, he had hidden himself within two yards of Xie Huang Bajian, biding his time. When Xie Huang Bajian turned to attack Knight's Elegy, he unexpectedly struck, hitting his mark.

Sun’s Piercing strike to the heart had a two-second stun. Taking advantage of these two seconds, Sun performed a Backstab and then an Eviscerate on Xie Huang Bajian’s back.

His attacks only dealt three to four hundred damage to Xie Huang Bajian each time. Compared to Xie Huang Bajian’s massive 3,800 health points, it was insignificant. Xie Huang Bajian’s defense was too strong.

It was difficult for a Thief's short weapons to inflict significant damage when attacking a Warrior's plate armor. Although the attack damage wasn’t high, Sun remained calm. Just as Xie Huang Bajian was about to wake up, he used a Garrote, causing him to fall into a stunned state once again.

Circling around to the front of Xie Huang Bajian, he used a Rupture and then an Assassinate. The stun from Garrote was interrupted, but before Xie Huang Bajian could make any movements, Sun used a Kidney Shot, hitting Xie Huang Bajian, which had a three-second stun effect.

Continuous stuns, without a moment’s break, left Xie Huang Bajian without a chance to wake up.

At this moment, Knight's Elegy woke up from the stun effect of the Shockwave.

"Brother Knight, let's kill him together!" Sun circled back to Xie Huang Bajian’s rear.

Knight's Elegy used a Holy Strike on Xie Huang Bajian's head.

His attacks were much more significant than Sun's.

Seeing Xie Huang Bajian controlled, the players from the Ni Ren Tribe nearby intercepted the Mage Alliance players who were rushing to rescue Xie Huang Bajian. Several Ni Ren Tribe Paladins went all out, continuously using Silence on the Priests from Zhan Dao Shi Xue’s side, preventing them from healing Xie Huang Bajian.

Fatal Blow!

Seeing that he had accumulated two combo points, Sun used a finishing move, releasing the accumulated damage.

-1309!

Seeing Sun’s burst, Knight’s Elegy also used his full strength, and a fifth-level Holy Light Slash blasted Xie Huang Bajian away.

Xie Huang Bajian’s health reached zero, and he fell to the ground. Knight’s Elegy breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun looked at Knight's Elegy and said, "Brother Knight, pleasant cooperation."

Knight's Elegy smiled and said, "Pleasant cooperation."

Sun re-entered Stealth, disappearing from everyone's sight.

While the battle was raging in the front, a Master Thief from Angel Corps, Kuang Wang, stealthily approached the Ni Ren Tribe's backline of magic-based classes.

Kuang Wang had recently joined Angel Corps. Due to his good skills and promotion to Master Thief, he had received good treatment there. However, since he had just joined and hadn't achieved any results, he was eager to prove himself. Relying on his relatively good Stealth stats, he sneaked into the rear of the Ni Ren Tribe, where several Priests were continuously healing the Ni Ren Tribe players in the front.

In guild wars, if a Thief killed a magic-based class, they could receive about 200 contribution points in Angel Corps. If the target was a Grand Mage, they could receive 2,000. For Priests, killing an ordinary Priest would earn 500 guild contribution points, and a Grand Priest would earn 8,000.

In guild wars, a Grand Priest was worth as much as five or six Greatsword Warriors charging in the front because a single heal from a Grand Priest could pull a nearly dead Greatsword Warrior back from the brink of death.

Whether a Thief could take down the Priests in the back was one of the standards for judging their strength. Some Thieves could often take down Priests and retreat safely, while others would fall halfway there. Like Nie Yan, Sun, and Yi Chui Ding Qing at this moment, Nie Yan had already taken down five Priests, one of whom was a Grand Priest, Yi Chui Ding Qing had taken down three Priests, and Sun had taken down two.

The Ni Ren Tribe’s Priests hadn’t suffered many losses. Kuang Wang glanced not far away. Seven or eight Priests were scattered around, and three Grand Priests entered his vision.

Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai, Shi Li Hua Sha, and Hei Se Tian Tang stood in different locations, about twenty or thirty yards apart from each other.

Kuang Wang quickly set his sights on Shi Li Hua Sha.

Based on experience, most female players who chose the Priest class weren’t very skilled. Their equipment was mostly obtained with help from other players. The more beautiful they were, the more popular they became. He saw Shi Li Hua Sha and felt a bit of disdain. For the same contribution points, he naturally wanted to pick the easy target. Beautiful female Priests were usually excellent targets, and he didn't care about harming the fairer sex.

Kuang Wang stealthily approached Shi Li Hua Sha.

Shi Li Hua Sha cast one healing spell after another. She had lost count of how many Ni Ren Tribe melee classes she had saved.

Just as she cast a healing spell, she suddenly felt a faint sense of something amiss. She didn't panic and use Fear Shout like other Priests. Fear Shout was one of the few powerful escape skills Priests had. If she used it so easily and the Thief dodged it, she would put herself in danger. As long as the Fear Shout had a deterrent effect, the Thief nearby wouldn't dare to easily attack.

Shi Li Hua Sha calmly retreated and cast a Light Ray.

A ball of light flew into the sky, and white light poured down.

In the flowing white light, a figure flashed past and pounced on her.

The Thief got closer and closer to Shi Li Hua Sha. Shi Li Hua Sha raised her hand and cast a sixth-level Holy Light Shield on herself. After the level of the Holy Light Shield was raised, the effect was still very strong, and it could protect against stuns to a certain extent.

Ordinary players had a hard time obtaining those powerful skills because Sub Legendary-grade equipment was too rare. It was already great to get one or two pieces occasionally. In the Ni Ren Tribe, Nie Yan and Yao Yao seemed to have more Sub Legendary equipment. Other top players occasionally had one or two pieces. People like Shi Li Hua Sha generally spent their time leveling up their basic skills. Raising the levels of basic skills also made them very powerful.

The instant the white light detected Kuang Wang, she smoothly cast a Pain on Kuang Wang. Pain was equivalent to a curse effect that caused the target to continuously lose health and also marked them. This instant-cast skill was difficult to dodge, and the Thief was hit by it.

Kuang Wang's heart tightened. This Priest was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Kuang Wang lunged in front of Shi Li Hua Sha, and the dagger in his hand stabbed down at her forehead with a Kidney Shot.

A flash of light and shadow appeared, and Shi Li Hua Sha used a Blink-like skill to flash two yards away, causing Kuang Wang to miss.

Shi Li Hua Sha cast a Holy Burst, and a white ball of light shot straight at Kuang Wang.

Kuang Wang hadn't landed yet. Seeing the ball of light shooting towards him, he used Gale Steps to dodge Shi Li Hua Sha's attack.

Using the acceleration from Gale Steps, he lunged at Shi Li Hua Sha again.

Master Thief Kuang Wang rushed in front of Shi Li Hua Sha, and the dagger in his hand stabbed straight at her throat. At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else and attacked ruthlessly.

Just as Kuang Wang was about to hit Shi Li Hua Sha, Shi Li Hua Sha suddenly smiled sweetly.

Kuang Wang saw Shi Li Hua Sha's smile and his heart skipped a beat, but just as he was about to use a skill, Shi Li Hua Sha cast a Silence on him. Thief Kuang Wang looked down and saw that most of his skills were grayed out and couldn't be used.

It's over! The thought flashed through his mind.

Shi Li Hua Sha then used a Fear Shout. The sharp but heavenly sound rang out, piercing Kuang Wang's eardrums. Kuang Wang's body became uncontrollable, and he ran around wildly. He was hit by Fear Shout and fell into a state of fear.

Seeing Thief Kuang Wang controlled, the players around naturally beat a dog in the water. Several Mages' Fire Blasts and Paladins' Holy Punishments smashed into Kuang Wang's body, blasting him away.

Kuang Wang fell to the ground.

When the surrounding Ni Ren Tribe players looked at Shi Li Hua Sha, they all showed expressions of admiration. A Grand Priest, after being approached by a Master Thief, could still calmly respond and counter the Master Thief. Such skill was admirable.

Usually, they only saw Shi Li Hua Sha's beautiful and elegant side, but they never expected that this beautiful Priest had such superb skills.

Dai Tou Da Ge Qi Zai glanced over here and smiled faintly. The Ni Ren Tribe's beauties were not easy to bully, whether it was Shi Li Hua Sha or Yao Yao, Yi Chui Ding Qing or Yue Er Ya, even Yu Lan, who was slightly inferior, had good skills.

Nie Yan roughly tallied the battle damage. The Ni Ren Tribe had lost more than three hundred people, and the four guilds including Zhan Dao Shi Xue had lost about two hundred. Although the Ni Ren Tribe had suffered more losses, comparing only the losses of Advanced players, the Ni Ren Tribe had lost two Advanced class players, while the four guilds including Zhan Dao Shi Xue had lost five.

Judging from that, the losses on both sides were comparable. Nie Yan was quite satisfied with this result.
