With so many years of gaming experience supporting him, plus a lot more insight in this life, and increasingly formidable equipment, Nie Yan was progressing towards godhood. Unless it was one of those god-level characters, ordinary players couldn't dream of fighting Nie Yan.

The twenty-plus people of the Ni Ren Tribe were unstoppable, especially Tang Yao, Immortal Scoundrel, Substantial Devil, and others. Their area-of-effect magic was too threatening to many people. One area-of-effect spell would wipe out a whole group of people around them.

Each of them had a strong awareness, and the tacit cooperation between teammates allowed them to unleash amazing combat power.

They chased the Zhan Dao Shi Xue people all the way, sending them running for their lives.

Nie Yan, Yao Zi, Shui Se Yan Tou, Cui Can Dao Guang... these familiar and resounding names were a great deterrent to these players.

The Zhan Dao Shi Xue people simply couldn't form an effective fighting force. They would just gather a group of people when they would be scattered by an area-of-effect spell.

Shui Se Yan Tou, Cui Can Dao Guang, and a group of warriors in heavy metal armor were like heavy machinery, crushing everything in their path, leaving corpses everywhere.

Nie Yan killed another Zhan Dao Shi Xue player with a single strike, and suddenly felt a strange sensation of being watched. The feeling was fleeting, but he still caught it.

His super-strong perception could amplify every trace of danger to the maximum.

A Thief!

He made the judgment immediately.

However, Nie Yan couldn't pinpoint the opponent's exact location. In Faith, all kinds of skills were emerging one after another, so it was not uncommon to encounter one or two thieves with enhanced stealth skills. He had to be careful if he was being targeted by a Thief.

The Thief who could linger near him without being discovered must be extraordinary.

Nie Yan expanded his perception to the maximum, ready to deal with a sudden attack at any time.

Eye of Truth!

The veins on both sides of Nie Yan's eyes bulged, and a divine light flashed in his eyes as he searched for the opponent's location. However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find any trace of the Thief.

He scanned every area of the surrounding wilderness, but found nothing, so Nie Yan had to give up.

Not far away, a Zhan Dao Shi Xue Shadow Priest looked over here with a panicked expression.

The Shadow Priest was wearing a black robe, about thirty years old, thin, with a wretched appearance, a hooked nose, and a pair of triangular eyes. He looked like a rat, giving people a treacherous and cunning feeling.

The Shadow Priest was the one who had cast War Shackles on Nie Yan before. Now that this guy had appeared in Nie Yan's field of vision, Nie Yan would naturally not let him go. War Shackles lasted for nearly two hours and was a high-level skill. If he didn't eliminate this Shadow Priest, it would mean that he would be firmly bound by War Shackles for the next period of time, unable to use Town Return Scrolls and Random Teleportation Scrolls.

He must kill him!

As the Shadow Priest turned to run, Nie Yan suddenly went into stealth and accelerated towards the Shadow Priest.

Nie Yan quickly closed the distance, only five or six yards away from the Shadow Priest.

As Nie Yan was about to approach, the Shadow Priest turned his head, and a white ball of light rose into the sky in his hand. The white light poured down, and he saw a faint figure, Nie Yan!

Nie Yan was only two yards away from him.

Suddenly, the Shadow Priest revealed a ferocious smile.

"I've been waiting for you!" The Shadow Priest smiled grimly, waved his hand, and cast a Slow Curse on Nie Yan, slowing Nie Yan's movement speed slightly.

Affected by the curse, Nie Yan still approached the Shadow Priest at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing the strange smile on the corner of the Shadow Priest's mouth, Nie Yan suddenly thought of something and activated the skill on the Ten Holy Paladins Legacy Medal, Mental Immunity!

The Shadow Priest's throat rolled, and he suddenly opened his mouth, emitting a sharp whistle, and the piercing sound rolled in.

The two were less than two yards apart. How could you dodge it? the Shadow Priest thought. But to his surprise, his Fear Howl seemed to have no effect on Nie Yan. As the Shadow Priest watched in astonishment, the Sword of Zennarde, burning with black flames, slashed down from above.

In a flash of lightning, Nie Yan swung the Sword of Zennarde in his hand and slashed at the Shadow Priest, killing him.

The moment he killed the Shadow Priest, Nie Yan ran around like a headless fly, as if he had been affected by Fear Howl.

In fact, Fear Howl had been neutralized by his Mental Immunity.

Nie Yan's movements were very realistic, and the timing was perfect.

In the eyes of outsiders, Nie Yan was first affected by Fear Howl. At that time, the Sword of Zennarde in his hand had already been swung and could not be retracted. Driven by inertia, he killed the Shadow Priest. After being affected by Fear Howl, Nie Yan's body lost control.

As Nie Yan ran forward, a shadow suddenly appeared beside him, and a dagger struck straight at Nie Yan's forehead.

It was the Thief who had been lurking around Nie Yan all along.

This Thief's movements were fast and ruthless, which showed that he was a difficult guy.

Nie Yan smiled coldly, I finally tricked you out!

The reason he had pretended to be affected by Fear Howl was to lure out the Thief who had been hiding near him.

He succeeded, his performance deceived the Thief's eyes!

However, Nie Yan did not dare to be careless. This guy's moves were so fast, and his decisive and ruthless aura gave people a heavy pressure.

Feeling the Thief's dagger coming straight at him, Nie Yan blocked, and with a clang, the two daggers collided.

After Nie Yan blocked the Thief's attack, he struck the opponent's forehead with his dagger, using Stun.

The Thief's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't expect Nie Yan to be able to fight back.

The Thief was wearing dark gray leather armor. When Nie Yan saw the Thief's face clearly, he recognized him. This guy was actually Ying Sha, whom Nie Yan had met once. Although there was a bit of an accident, Ying Sha was still calm, as if this exchange was just a game.

Looking at Nie Yan, Ying Sha's eyes revealed a hint of killing intent.

At this moment, Ying Sha suddenly disappeared, and Nie Yan's attack missed.

Just a moment later, a chilling killing intent struck Nie Yan's head from behind. So fast!

Just as Nie Yan was about to move, he found that his body was firmly bound in place, and the dagger pierced through his head from behind.

At this critical moment, Nie Yan used Gale Step, using the three-second invincibility effect of the Gale Step skill to block Ying Sha's attack.

Two seconds later, Nie Yan was finally able to move and ran out a distance. When he looked back, the area around him was empty. There was no trace of Ying Sha.

Nie Yan glanced around. He could feel that Ying Sha had already left.

Although it was only their first fight, Nie Yan still felt a lot of pressure. Ying Sha was the type of person who would strike to kill, and if he failed, he would retreat. He was more like a killer or an assassin. Unlike many people, Ying Sha didn't abide by the so-called rules. He would do everything possible and use any means to achieve his goals. As a result, countless people in his previous life had fallen into Ying Sha's hands.

If it hadn't been for the invincibility effect of Gale Step just now, or if he had been even a moment slower, Nie Yan was afraid that he would have been finished.

Nie Yan was very envious of such a profession, being an assassin who challenged the limits, setting his sights on one expert after another, and then killing them.

It was a pity that Nie Yan would never be an assassin, because he was the leader of the Ni Ren Tribe.

After confirming that Ying Sha had left, Nie Yan was still very vigilant. He had already been targeted by Ying Sha, and Ying Sha didn't know when he would appear. Maybe his next strike would be a fatal one. It was not a pleasant thing to be stared at by such a guy. He had to prevent that guy from suddenly appearing. His stealth was too strong.

Shui Se Yan Tou, Cui Can Dao Guang, and the others were slaughtering the Zhan Dao Shi Xue people in the distance. Seeing that Nie Yan was in trouble, they all rushed over and came to Nie Yan's side.

"Are you okay?" Cui Can Dao Guang asked. He had just seen another Thief's dagger stab into the back of Nie Yan's head, but Nie Yan was fine, which surprised him a bit.

"Who was that Thief just now? He looked a little familiar," Shui Se Yan Tou asked. As a professional player, he had a bit of an impression of Ying Sha, but the situation was too urgent at the time, and he didn't see Ying Sha's face clearly.

"It's Ying Sha!" Nie Yan said. This was their first fight, although it was extremely brief, it was a wake-up call for Nie Yan. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been a cold corpse by the time Shui Se Yan Tou and Cui Can Dao Guang arrived.

Moreover, Ying Sha had a locking skill similar to Intimidate, so he had to be extra careful in the future.

"Damn, it's that guy." When Shui Se Yan Tou heard Ying Sha's name, a chill rose in his heart. This guy was definitely one of the most difficult characters among the professional players. This guy was proficient in stealth, and his moves were all life-risking. If he failed, he would retreat immediately and look for the next opportunity. If you didn't die, he would persevere until he killed you.

At this moment, Nie Yan's voice chat rang. It was Ying Sha.

It was a sentence from Ying Sha: Not bad, but you won't be so lucky next time.

When Nie Yan wanted to reply, he found that the other party had set up a message block.

Ying Sha, Nie Yan smiled indifferently. Being able to fight such a legendary figure was a good experience. He wouldn't let you run away so easily next time.

One of the two Thieves would definitely fall to the ground in the end!

Nie Yan regained his thoughts and glanced at the area nearby. The Zhan Dao Shi Xue people were either dead or running away, and there were very few left.

Nie Yan said in the team chat, "Pick up the equipment on the ground if you can. You only have one minute. After one minute, all team members head south and leave here!"

At this moment, Guo Huai sent a message to Nie Yan: "Zhan Dao Shi Xue is mobilizing troops to surround you from the north. Leave there quickly, or it will be too late."

"Understood," Nie Yan replied to Guo Huai.
