Chapter 143 The God of Slaughter Arrives

“Who knows? The boss has always been unpredictable. He never tells anyone where he's going. Hermit, let's charge back in! Slaughter these people from the Alliance of Mages!” Dun Keng Si Mei Nv shouted. Now that Nie Yan was here, what did they have to fear!

After killing the warrior, Nie Yan immediately pounced on another person, an arcane mage.

Seeing Nie Yan rushing towards him, the arcane mage felt a chill in his heart. He quickly raised his staff, casting a Slow spell. But in the instant he cast it, Nie Yan used Gale Step and disappeared from his sight.

Slow, miss!

"Damn, isn't Slow supposed to be instant?" the arcane mage cursed. Logically speaking, instant-cast spells like Slow were hard to dodge. But the moment he raised his staff, Nie Yan had accurately predicted what spell he was going to cast based on his movements. In his past life, this wasn't much of a technique; many players above level 100 could do it. But to these players, it was unimaginable.

The moment Nie Yan disappeared, the arcane mage sensed danger. He turned to run, but it was too late.

A gleaming dagger was already at his throat. A throat slit, blood splattered everywhere, his vision turned red, and he collapsed to the ground.

Against these fragile mages, Nie Yan could easily kill them instantly!

In the blink of an eye, Nie Yan had killed three people in a row, unstoppable. The others wanted to flee, but Nie Yan was like a god of slaughter, filling them with fear. They had lost all will to fight.

In front of Nie Yan, they had no power to resist. Even when they occasionally cast a control spell or two, Nie Yan easily dodged them.

The morale of the Alliance of Mages was completely shattered. They had no intention of fighting and couldn't even bring their full strength to bear. They were being chased and beaten by the members of the Ni Ren Tribe. Anyone who resisted even slightly was instantly killed by Nie Yan.

Nie Yan chanted an incantation, and the giant body of the Golden Land Dragon appeared in the players' field of vision. It opened its mouth and spat out streams of dragon breath, blasting the players of the Alliance of Mages away.

Five or six minutes later, all the people from the Alliance of Mages had fallen. Only a dozen or so members of the Ni Ren Tribe and seven or eight from the Temple of Galan remained on the field.

"Where are the others?" Dun Keng Si Mei Nv asked after killing an elemental mage from the Alliance of Mages.

Kuai Le Yin Shi smiled wryly and said, "The others are running back from the graveyard." Their losses had been quite heavy.

The ground was littered with the corpses of players from the Alliance of Mages and Holy Guardians. By now, none of them dared to run back from the graveyard. With Crazy Thief Nie Yan here, who would dare to resurrect?

The players watching the excitement from the periphery were stunned by the scene. They thought the melee would last at least two or three hours, but they hadn't expected such a sudden turn of events. Crazy Thief Nie Yan had actually appeared here! The outcome was completely unexpected.

The people from the Alliance of Mages and Holy Guardians who had died here didn't dare to run back and resurrect, because they knew that if they did, they would just be killed again. Watching the countless corpses piled up in the distance, Nie Yan's progress with the Golden Land Dragon was extremely shocking.

The power of Crazy Thief Nie Yan was once again deeply etched in their minds.

Dun Keng Si Mei Nv, Kuai Le Yin Shi, Wu Yue Xian Zi, and the others walked toward Nie Yan.

"Boss, how did you get here?" Dun Keng Si Mei Nv said excitedly. He had only seen Nie Yan at guild gatherings, and had never had the chance to talk to him. Today, he had suddenly encountered Nie Yan, and couldn't hide his excitement.

Nie Yan glanced at Dun Keng Si Mei Nv, Kuai Le Yin Shi, Wu Yue Xian Zi, and the others. Nie Yan vaguely recognized them, knowing that they were members of the Ni Ren Tribe, but he didn't know their names. When he saw their names, Dun Keng Si Mei Nv? Kuai Le Yin Shi?

Nie Yan frowned and pondered. He was somewhat familiar with these two names, but he couldn't quite remember where he'd heard them.

"I came here to do a quest. Have all of our people resurrected?" Nie Yan saw the Ni Ren Tribe players sitting up one by one, leaving only the corpses of the Alliance of Mages and Holy Guardians players on the ground.

"Two short," Kuai Le Yin Shi said after taking a headcount. If Nie Yan hadn't come, they would have definitely suffered a great loss in this battle.

After a while, the corpses of the Alliance of Mages and Holy Guardians players disappeared one after another as they were erased by the server. Those people had chosen to resurrect in the graveyard and then return to the city directly.

Knowing that Crazy Thief Nie Yan was here, how could they dare to be presumptuous?

Players weren't allowed to fight in the graveyard, otherwise Dun Keng Si Mei Nv and Kuai Le Yin Shi would definitely lead people to camp it. Each of them had been killed two or three times, so they were naturally very unhappy. Fortunately, resurrecting in the graveyard only resulted in a loss of about 20% of their experience, which wasn't too much. As for the people from the Alliance of Mages and Holy Guardians, choosing to resurrect in the graveyard would cost them one level's worth of experience, which would be painful for them for a while.

Dun Keng Si Mei Nv, Kuai Le Yin Shi, and the others cleaned up the battlefield.

Nie Yan looked at the equipment they had collected and said, "You don't need to hand these items over to the guild warehouse. You guys can divide them up yourselves. Remember to give more to the brothers who suffered greater losses." The equipment they had looted was enough for them to make a small fortune.

"Understood, thanks boss," Dun Keng Si Mei Nv nodded. They regrouped and thanked the members of the Temple of Galan who had come to their rescue, and prepared to head to the Underground Mines.

"I'll go first," Nie Yan said. He put away the Golden Land Dragon and walked towards the City of Gold.

Watching Nie Yan leave, the surrounding onlookers were speechless. Crazy Thief Nie Yan had only appeared for five or six minutes, but his appearance had completely turned the tide of the battle. The Ni Ren Tribe was originally destined to lose, but the situation had reversed and the Alliance of Mages and Holy Guardians were slaughtered, their corpses littering the ground. While they found it dramatic, they also felt a deep sense of awe towards Nie Yan.

One person can defy the heavens!

Kuai Le Yin Shi watched Nie Yan enter the City of Gold and asked Dun Keng Si Mei Nv beside him in surprise, "Aren't the upper levels of the City of Gold filled with level 90 monsters?" The City of Gold was divided into two areas, upper and lower. The more famous area was the level 60 Underground Mines dungeon below. The upper levels of the City of Gold were filled with level 90 monsters, so no player had ever entered. What was Nie Yan doing there? Could it be that Nie Yan could now handle level 90 monsters?

"It's true that they're level 90 monsters. Don't use our own thinking to guess what Boss Nie Yan is doing. Level 90 monsters might really be nothing to Boss Nie Yan," Dun Keng Si Mei Nv said. He had seen Sun use a strange method to forcefully kill a level 90 elite. After the video was released, they were amazed by Sun, never expecting that Sun would have such skillful techniques at such a young age. If Sun could do it, Nie Yan certainly could.

Kuai Le Yin Shi couldn't help but yearn for a solo adventure in a high-level map. He was also a thief, and naturally wanted to dominate the world like Nie Yan and Sun. Nie Yan was his goal and his dream.

Headquarters of the Guang An Empire in the City of Flame.

Guang An Yong Zui brought all of his subordinates to the City of Flame, acquired five guilds in the City of Flame, and created the Guang An Empire. This guild began to rise, capturing more than a dozen fortresses in the City of Flame. The Guang An Empire was different from other guilds. They didn't need any investment from financial groups, because many members of their studio were not short on money. For example, the founder himself, Guang An Yong Zui, and the guild's top thief, Tang Guo, all had financial backgrounds that were no less impressive than the Century Financial Group.

The Century Financial Group had tried to acquire them several times, but they had been rejected. With the financial support of several financial groups, the Guang An Empire had become the undisputed overlord of the City of Flame.

Guang An Yong Zui received a video from his subordinate, which was a compilation of videos of Nie Yan slaughtering players from the Alliance of Mages and Holy Guardians in the City of Gold. After watching the video, he looked at Tang Guo beside him and said, "I didn't expect that a small thief we encountered in the past has now become the president of the Ni Ren Tribe, and his strength is truly amazing. If you were to face him, what are your chances of winning?"

Tang Guo spread out his hands and smiled wryly. "One in ten, maybe even less. Gao Ge, what are you planning to do? Join the Alliance of Mages, Holy Guardians, or cooperate with the Ni Ren Tribe? It seems we have no choice but to join these two major forces, or be swallowed up."

"The current situation is still hard to say. Currently, there are two major forces, the Ni Ren Tribe and the Alliance of Mages. Our Guang An Empire and Zhu Shen Zhi Jian of Emerald City have only just risen. We have more than enough to protect ourselves. Why not wait and see?" Guang An Yong Zui smiled mysteriously. He had his own plans.

Nie Yan stepped into the City of Gold. Inside the gloomy castle, there was an unusual, bloody atmosphere. Every wall and every pillar here was made of gold, inlaid with huge pearls, making it look extremely luxurious and extravagant.

Nie Yan used the search skill on the Holy Light Stone. The Holy Light Stone emitted a dazzling light, as if conveying some kind of information. He could confirm that a component of the Abak Set was in this City of Gold.

Walking through the spacious hall, it was as if he had entered a distant world. The ancient patterns on the walls were a accumulation of history.

Suddenly, a system notification rang.

System: You have entered the Cursed Land of the Mine Slave Igrin, your stats are reduced by 10%.

Nie Yan felt a strand of power being drawn from his body, making him somewhat weak. Fortunately, his stats were strong enough that even a 10% reduction didn't have much of an impact. If an ordinary player had been subjected to such a curse, they wouldn't dare to continue forward.

In the distance, several tall giants, about 3 yards in height, appeared in Nie Yan's field of vision. Their skin was dark red, and they held huge iron hammers, guarding the door and pacing back and forth.
