Chapter 161 Clash

Even gods couldn't withstand so many thieves ambushing a half-awake fox. As the old saying went, even the best of fists couldn't defeat four hands. Half-Awake Fox shook off six thieves, but Mo Ci seized the opportunity, landing a stun.

At this moment, the Holy Roman Empire warriors beside Half-Awake Fox rushed up to try and rescue him, but dozens of thieves immediately pounced on them, blocking their advance.

Five thieves around Half-Awake Fox attacked him relentlessly. However, as a heavily armored, tank-like warrior, Half-Awake Fox wouldn't go down that easily.

"Hurry up!" Mo Ci said in a deep voice. They didn't have much time. He circled to the front of Half-Awake Fox and landed another stun.

Just then, a flash of icy light appeared, heading straight for his forehead. Mo Ci's pupils contracted sharply.

This dagger was incredibly sharp, precise, and fierce.

Like a viper.

Mo Ci quickly retracted his attack midway.

He activated Hasty Retreat, quickly dodging.

"So fast!" Mo Ci's heart clenched. Seeing the dagger coming, he parried, and with a crisp clang, the two daggers collided.

He retreated three or four yards, covered in cold sweat. He seemed to feel the chill radiating from the dagger like a needle, piercing his forehead with a stinging pain.

He didn't want to relive the feeling he'd just experienced.

A faint, transparent figure flashed past, too fast to even be caught by the eye.

The five thieves beside him were surprised. Why wasn't their boss, Mo Ci, attacking?

Just then, a dagger appeared an inch in front of one of the thief's necks.

Ghostly, without warning, appearing out of thin air.

It was the Grim Reaper's scythe!

The sharp dagger was covered in serrated edges, and the bizarre shape of the Separation Blade was even more unnerving.

In the space of a single breath, the sharp serrations easily cut through the thief's fragile skin at the neck, the skin split apart, the wound burst open, and blood gushed out.

Gaudy, dazzling.

Like a blooming red poppy.

-630.

Throat Cut, Critical Hit, an instant kill without suspense!

The thief's life was suddenly drained, and he collapsed.

Everything had happened so fast that the surrounding thieves didn't have time to react.

At this moment, Half-Awake Fox broke free from the stun and unleashed a Whirlwind Slash, the sword aura from his greatsword scattering in all directions like a tornado, spinning rapidly, the blade flaring up.

The thieves were knocked back a few steps by the sword aura. They saw a figure slowly appearing beside Half-Awake Fox, and their gazes froze.

After taking down one player, Nie Yan's stealth finally ended.

Crazy Thief Nie Yan!

All the thieves gasped, forgetting to attack.

With Nie Yan's sudden appearance, six thieves retreated, and one died. The remaining four were probably beyond saving.

Half-Awake Fox had woken up from the stun and downed a Intermediate Instant Health Potion, restoring his health.

"If you were any slower, I would have been dead," Half-Awake Fox said. His health had been reduced to 39%. The attacks of these thieves were indeed fierce. If the six of them had continued to attack for a little longer, he would have been killed.

"Looks like I arrived just in time," Nie Yan said with a smile.

Looking around, Nie Yan's eyes locked onto Mo Ci, who had retreated. Probably only Mo Ci here was worthy of a fight.

These people had failed to ambush Half-Awake Fox, and the Holy Roman Empire warriors had already charged in.

The Thieves of Radiant Sacred Flame were being slaughtered one after another.

"Boss, we're here."

A Shield Warrior in full gold armor rushed in first, pouncing on the four thieves beside Half-Awake Fox.

The fifty or sixty Thieves of Radiant Sacred Flame were routed. They no longer had a chance to kill Half-Awake Fox. Mo Ci entered stealth and ran outside.

The name Crazy Thief was well-deserved!

This brief exchange, lasting only a few seconds, made Mo Ci clearly aware of the gap between him and Nie Yan, like a pebble compared to Mount Tai.

He was intimidated by Nie Yan's sharp and fierce attacks.

Nie Yan noticed Mo Ci going into stealth. His gaze suddenly turned cold. He wanted to run? Not so easy!

The veins around Nie Yan's eyes bulged, and his blood-red eyes were as terrifying as a demon's. Eye of Truth!

His gaze immediately locked onto a faint figure, flying outwards.

Shadow Waltz!

Nie Yan suddenly disappeared, activating maximum speed to quickly approach Mo Ci.

Mo Ci was running away, feeling a palpable gaze on his back. His heart tensed, and in an instant, an icy chill assaulted him from behind.

The dagger was like a rainbow, fast to the extreme!

It was Crazy Thief Nie Yan!

No one else could have such speed! Mo Ci hadn't expected Nie Yan to catch up so quickly. A sense of suffocation, like being stared at by a venomous snake, surged over him, and his breath caught in his throat.

The name of Crazy Thief alone gave people a strong sense of oppression. Coupled with Nie Yan's sharp and decisive fighting style, he had already completely crushed his opponent psychologically!

The name Crazy Thief was Nie Yan's glory and his deterrent to others.

Death Waltz!

Nie Yan's pace slowed slightly, and as he ran, afterimages flashed behind him, his body seeming to disappear completely, not stirring up the slightest breeze.

This was a magical feeling that could never be understood by those who had never used Death Waltz.

Mo Ci was running outwards at his fastest speed. He could feel Nie Yan getting closer and closer, the footsteps of death approaching. Just then, he suddenly felt the person chasing him disappear into thin air, no longer able to sense any trace of him.

He was puzzled. How could this be? Could that guy have left?

No!

An even stronger sense of crisis surged over him. He turned around, preparing to fight.

Just then, a sharp, serrated dagger appeared above his forehead, the chilling aura of the dagger terrifying.

Mo Ci wanted to parry, but just as he made a blocking movement, the dagger suddenly disappeared.

Mo Ci suddenly found himself unable to move, as if bound to the spot by an invisible rope.

It was Nie Yan's Intimidation!

In an instant, Nie Yan had appeared behind him, and with a muffled strike, he plunged the dagger down.

The sharp serrations easily pierced through.

Mo Ci fell into a stunned state.

Nie Yan's attack was too fast; he didn't even have a chance to parry.

Nie Yan followed with a Backstab and Eviscerate, adding a few ordinary attacks. Mo Ci was knocked to the ground by Nie Yan.

"I say, why haven't the people from your Niu Ren Guild arrived yet?" Half-Awake Fox turned his head and asked. Nie Yan was nowhere to be seen. He was slightly stunned and looked into the distance, finding Nie Yan just having killed Mo Ci twenty yards away. "Damn, that guy is too fast."

How much time had passed? Ten seconds at most? In the blink of an eye, Nie Yan was more than twenty yards away, killing a thief!

"Who was that thief?" Half-Awake Fox suddenly found the thief Nie Yan had killed to be familiar.

"The number one thief from Radiant Sacred Flame, I think his name is Mo Ci."

Half-Awake Fox then remembered who Mo Ci was. That guy was very troublesome, and the Holy Roman Empire had suffered losses at his hands. But he had been taken down by Nie Yan just like that? How much time had passed!

"Damn, that Nie Yan is really becoming a monster!" Half-Awake Fox couldn't help but admire him. Was this guy even human?

How did Nie Yan train?

Mo Ci dropped two items. One was a Dark Gold Leather Armor, and although its attributes were good, it was far inferior to the Sub Legendary on Nie Yan. The other item was an old parchment scroll, already slightly damaged.

Cahill's Parchment Scroll (Fragmented): Memory of the Seeker, 13.

The fragmented parchment scroll had strange lines drawn on it.

Cahill was a legendary female thief who was said to be a treasure hunter who liked to search for treasures everywhere. It was said that she had found a treasure from the depths of the earth and buried it deep in one place. But she was hunted down by demons from the depths of the earth and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few fragments scattered.

These things were often difficult to collect. Of the many legendary fragments in his previous life, not many were pieced together. Treasure maps were similar. Nie Yan threw it into his bag, putting it aside for now.

Nie Yan walked back, looking at the Radiant Sacred Flame camp in the distance. The two sides were about a hundred yards apart, and Nightbreak God's gaze was also glancing over, cold as a knife.

Nie Yan's appearance shocked all the guild leaders around him.

Perhaps only Nie Yan had such a powerful deterrent.

Nie Yan walked towards Half-Awake Fox.

"You're fast enough, you even killed Mo Ci. Radiant Sacred Flame must be going crazy," Half-Awake Fox said. The fifty or so thieves Radiant Sacred Flame had sent were all wiped out here, without a single survivor. Thinking about it just now, it was really dangerous. If Nie Yan hadn't arrived in time, he would have been killed here.

Nie Yan smiled calmly. Using Shadow Waltz to deal with these thieves was not difficult. Only when these people grew up would they be able to cause him some trouble.

Nie Yan observed some of the Gold Dragon's attack habits and calculated the intervals between its breath attacks, preparing for the upcoming plan.

"I got the news that Blood Battle Spear just took down the first fortress. The Mages Alliance just upgraded to a Level 6 guild, with a membership exceeding 300,000. Sacred Guardians is also vying for a fortress in full swing. We need to act faster," Half-Awake Fox said, looking into the distance. Triumph Empire and Radiant Sacred Flame were stumbling blocks to the development of their three guilds and needed to be removed as soon as possible. The Holy Roman Empire had branches in other cities, so their information was more accurate than that of the Niu Ren Guild.

Nie Yan nodded, analyzing why Blood Battle Spear, Mages Alliance, and Sacred Guardians would send people to Carola City. Carola City had a large population base. If one guild dominated, it would be difficult to control once it developed. Currently, the strongest force in Carola City was the Niu Ren Guild. The Niu Ren Guild had not developed because of Triumph Empire and Radiant Sacred Flame. As big shots in those cities, they definitely didn't want to see a unified Carola City. They would naturally trip up the Niu Ren Guild.

The reason Half-Awake Fox told Nie Yan this was because the Niu Ren Guild was not very active in dealing with Triumph Empire and Radiant Sacred Flame. If the Niu Ren Guild forces had appeared here from the beginning, the Holy Roman Empire would definitely not be in such a weak position. He had almost been killed.

Nie Yan understood the current situation and smiled at Half-Awake Fox, "I understand what you mean."

Half-Awake Fox nodded. Since Nie Yan understood, he wouldn't say more.

Looking at the messages sent by the Niu Ren Guild members, the Niu Ren Guild's two thousand members had entered the Valley of the Sinners and were heading this way. As soon as the Niu Ren Guild appeared, they found the people from Triumph Empire and Radiant Sacred Flame nearby and immediately charged over like a landslide.

Triumph Empire and Radiant Sacred Flame were cleared all the way. Seeing the fierce posture of the Niu Ren Guild players, the people from the Holy Roman Empire and Galan Temple were dumbfounded. These two thousand people were worth ten thousand!

The Niu Ren Guild warriors roared and launched a charge. Bathed in holy light, they were all exceptionally brave.

As long as the priests' healing was up to par, the warriors could take on ten enemies without any problems. The quality of the Niu Ren Guild's priests was obviously much higher than that of the priests from Triumph Empire and Radiant Sacred Flame, and their healing was very effective.

"Nightbreak, the people from the Niu Ren Guild are here," Skinny Dog sent a message to Nightbreak God.

"How many people are they?" Nightbreak God's heart stirred. The Niu Ren Guild had finally arrived.

"More than two thousand, all of them are elites from the Niu Ren Guild. They have already killed more than three thousand of us."

"Only two thousand people." Nightbreak God was slightly disappointed, but after thinking about it, these people were all elites from the Niu Ren Guild. If they could wipe them all out, that wouldn't be bad either. "Execute the original plan. Send twenty thousand people over, have them take off all their equipment, put on newbie gear, and let the Niu Ren Guild kill them. Once they're all red-named, block them in the canyon and see how they run!"

Nightbreak God had originally thought that the Niu Ren Guild would send at least ten thousand people. If ten thousand people were all red-named and the Niu Ren Guild was blocked in the Valley of the Sinners, preventing them from returning to the city, they could be eaten away little by little. That would be perfect. He hadn't expected Nie Yan to be so cautious, only sending two thousand people. If they could chew through two thousand elites from the Niu Ren Guild, it would be better than nothing.

Teams of Triumph Empire and Radiant Sacred Flame players entered the Valley of the Sinners, each team with a thousand people. They were only wearing newbie gear, and their levels were not high, only around Level 10. They were all cannon fodder.

Nie Yan received a message from Guo Huai and understood what Triumph Empire and Radiant Sacred Flame wanted to do.

"What do we do?" Guo Huai asked. If those members kept killing the people sent by Triumph Empire and Radiant Sacred Flame, wouldn't they be falling into the trap set by Triumph Empire and Radiant Sacred Flame?

"Let them kill as much as they want! Kill as many as they send!" Nie Yan's murderous aura was palpable. Why not eat the meat that was being offered? Although those players were only around Level 10, but for them to be willing to come and die, Triumph Empire and Radiant Sacred Flame must have spent a lot of money. They probably cost a lot of guild contribution points. He wondered how many guild contribution points Radiant Sacred Flame and Triumph Empire would have to compensate those players for dying once.
