Chapter 188 Besieged

Nie Yan and Shui Se Yan Tou's assassination instantly plunged the Bi Luo Cang Qiong guild into chaos.

Shui Se Yan Tou's charge had been perfectly executed, the force and direction just right, sending Hao Tian straight into Nie Yan's grasp. Nie Yan's final Throat Cut was clean and decisive, successfully killing Hao Tian. Their coordination was breathtaking, and if it were posted online, it would surely become a classic.

"Pleasure working with you," Nie Yan said with a slight smile, entering stealth.

Shui Se Yan Tou also found that exhilarating feeling of perfect teamwork with Nie Yan and smiled knowingly. "Pleasure working with you!"

The sacrifices of Leng Feng Jue Jian and Mu En had paved the way for this successful assassination. A flash of sadness crossed Shui Se Yan Tou's mind, but it was fleeting. On this battlefield, he didn't have time to waste. He raised his greatsword and charged out, and the time for Ku Ye Studio to counterattack had arrived.

"Ku Ye Studio brothers, kill them all!" Shui Se Yan Tou was like a peerless weapon, leaving a trail of corpses wherever he went.

Nie Yan moved with astonishing speed, stealthily approaching the Priests, and with swift strikes, he consecutively slaughtered several of them.

At this moment, the elite players of Asskickers United also charged in, causing Bi Luo Cang Qiong to be forced into a full retreat.

Undying Scoundrel unleashed a Flame Rain, landing in the area in front of Shui Se Yan Tou, causing a wave of damage and instantly clearing out a large portion of the enemies.

Hei Bai, Wu Feng, and the others rushed over, joining forces with Shui Se Yan Tou, Nie Yan, and the rest.

"Boss, we're here," Hei Bai said. When they arrived, their names were heavily red, indicating they had killed many people.

Nie Yan nodded and asked, "What are our losses?"

"Only eight members died, but we recovered their equipment," Wu Feng replied. Such a small loss was remarkable. They had meticulously planned their assault, with melee classes providing cover while Xia Chong Yu Bing, Undying Scoundrel, Wu Dong Qi Ji, Xi Huan Jiang Nan, and the other Mages used AoE spells to clear the path. The effect was excellent.

However, the AoE spells also caused Xia Chong Yu Bing and the others' kill counts to skyrocket.

Meanwhile, Bi Luo Cang Qiong's Guild Leader, Hao Tian, had already resurrected in the city. Being killed by Shui Se Yan Tou was an utter disgrace!

He furiously roared in the guild chat, "At all costs, kill Shui Se Yan Tou!"

He hated Shui Se Yan Tou to the core. Although he knew that Asskickers United was on their way, he was willing to pay any price.

Hao Tian's orders were quickly carried out, and the players of Bi Luo Cang Qiong rapidly regrouped. Hao Tian was ruthless and vindictive, but he was skilled at managing his subordinates. The players of Bi Luo Cang Qiong quickly surrounded Shui Se Yan Tou and the others.

Eight or nine thousand people could grind Shui Se Yan Tou and the others to death, even if it took time!

"Boss, there are at least eight or nine thousand Bi Luo Cang Qiong players surrounding us!"

"Our Priests and Mages are almost out of mana. We've used all the mana potions we have."

The members reported to Nie Yan.

The members were still killing Bi Luo Cang Qiong players, having already taken down nearly seven or eight hundred, but even more were coming! Faced with the endless waves of Bi Luo Cang Qiong players, even their strength felt insignificant.

Nie Yan surveyed the surrounding terrain. To the south, the trees were denser, offering a chokepoint to hold for a while. Asskickers United would surely arrive to provide reinforcements soon.

"We'll move south!"

Nie Yan and his group charged south, the Warriors holding several key points, the Priests and Paladins providing healing and taking shifts, and the Mages engaging in ranged combat with the Bi Luo Cang Qiong players, taking turns sitting down to regenerate mana.

Outside, the Bi Luo Cang Qiong players surged like a relentless tide, constantly charging in, only to be beaten back by Nie Yan and the others.

The battle raged, spells whistled through the air, and every now and then, a player from Ku Ye Studio or Asskickers United would fall.

The outer perimeter was teeming with Bi Luo Cang Qiong players, wave after wave.

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this," Shui Se Yan Tou said apologetically. The players of Asskickers United were all red-named and unable to return to the city, trapped here. If Asskickers United didn't arrive soon, they would surely be worn down to death by the players of Bi Luo Cang Qiong.

"Shui Se, don't say such things. Do you think any of the brothers in Asskickers United blame you? Ku Ye Studio may not have joined Asskickers United for long, but our friendship is solid. When friends are in trouble, we uphold justice. How could Asskickers United stand idly by?" Undying Scoundrel looked at Nie Yan and said, "Nie Yan, I'm right, aren't I?"

"Yes, not bad," Nie Yan said approvingly. Undying Scoundrel's words were quite reasonable.

Shui Se Yan Tou looked at the players of Asskickers United around him, feeling moved. At this moment, any words would be superfluous. Ku Ye Studio would not let down any brother who treated them sincerely.

"Yao Zi has led the Asskickers United brothers into Twilight Forest and will be here soon!" Xia Chong Yu Bing said after checking the guild chat.

Since they had already entered Twilight Forest, they weren't far away.

"Hold on everyone, reinforcements are coming soon!"

Ku Ye Studio had just over two hundred people left, and Asskickers United had just over seventy. Such losses were truly staggering.

"Shui Se, we're all out of mana," Reincarnation said anxiously.

The ranged classes of Bi Luo Cang Qiong were dealing too much damage. To heal the Warriors in front, the Priests were rapidly depleting their mana. Due to insufficient healing, several more Warriors fell.

Bi Luo Cang Qiong's attacks hadn't stopped. If Asskickers United was a few minutes late, they would likely face total annihilation.

Just then, the Bi Luo Cang Qiong players on the outer perimeter suddenly became agitated.

A cluster of red clouds gathered in the distance, followed by a hail of fireballs. Only Tang Yao could cast spells so quickly.

"Brothers, kill!"

"Kill!"

The outer perimeter erupted in battle cries. Bi Luo Cang Qiong was surrounded by Asskickers United and was under their fierce assault. In terms of the quality of guild players, no guild could compare to Asskickers United. The moment Bi Luo Cang Qiong was attacked by Asskickers United, a massive rout began. The players of Bi Luo Cang Qiong were being slaughtered in droves, surrounded on all sides with no chance to escape.

While the battle raged inside Twilight Forest, things were also turbulent outside. Two groups from the Victorious Return and Radiant Sacred Flame, totaling over sixty thousand, appeared outside Twilight Forest. They wanted to charge into Twilight Forest, but countless players appeared at the edge of the forest, blocking their path.

The Divine Protectors had arrived in Twilight Forest one step ahead of them.

Leading this group of players was Half-Asleep Fox, his silver armor extremely conspicuous.

These Divine Protector players were ready for battle, with groups of melee classes blocking the gaps between the trees, followed by a large number of ranged classes. They had a terrain advantage, and even though the Victorious Return and Radiant Sacred Flame had a numerical advantage, it wouldn't be easy for them to break through.

Half-Asleep Fox stood proudly on a protruding rock.

The players of the Divine Protectors looked at the densely packed, dark mass of players from the Victorious Return and Radiant Sacred Flame in front of them, and their scalps began to tingle.

"Today, the Radiant Sacred Flame and the Victorious Return are both here. Anyone who's afraid can return to the city. The Divine Protectors don't need cowards like that. For every member of the Radiant Sacred Flame or Victorious Return killed by anyone who stays here today, I will reward them with fifty contribution points! Anyone who gets more than ten kills, I'll allow them to join the Divine Protectors Knights Order! Today, right here, I'll tell those Radiant Sacred Flame and Victorious Return bastards that my Divine Protectors can beat them back with just twenty thousand men!" Half-Asleep Fox said heroically. He had learned a little from Nie Yan. When faced with a situation, being too rational and considering every angle was no good. First, you couldn't be weak in terms of momentum.

Half-Asleep Fox's passionate words stirred the fighting spirit of the Divine Protector players.

"Fox, you said it, you can't take it back. I was just about to join the Knights Order," a player shouted.

Half-Asleep Fox laughed and cursed, "When have I ever gone back on my word? Kid, I'll remember you. If you don't kill ten, I'll drag you before the God of Light to confess!"

"No, Fox, sending me to confess is worse than digging a hole and burying me," that player said, shrinking his head.

A burst of laughter erupted below, easing the tense atmosphere.

Half-Asleep Fox glanced ahead. Two people were approaching. Half-Asleep Fox was very familiar with these two. The one in the azure Mage robe was Po Tian, and the other in the purple armor was Radiant Sacred Flame's leader, Ye Po Shen Gun.

Ye Po Shen Gun rarely appeared in public, and few people could track his movements, so he had always been mysterious in everyone's eyes. There was no information about him.

"The leaders of the Victorious Return and Radiant Sacred Flame are here. Your leader will go and meet them," Half-Asleep Fox said, jumping off the rock and walking towards Po Tian and Ye Po Shen Gun.

Glancing at Ye Po Shen Gun's level, Half-Asleep Fox cursed in frustration. Damn it, this guy is Level 30!

The three giants were gathering. This was the first time such a thing had happened since the launch of Faith.

"I didn't expect to see you here," Po Tian said. When he brought his men here, he never would have imagined that the Divine Protectors would suddenly appear out of nowhere, blocking their way.

"But I've been waiting for you here for a long time," Half-Asleep Fox retorted sharply.

Po Tian and Ye Po Shen Gun were old rivals of Half-Asleep Fox, and they suddenly felt a bit surprised. The Half-Asleep Fox today seemed a bit different from the Half-Asleep Fox of the past, who was always smiling and smooth, never revealing his true feelings, even if he was upset.

The sword had already been drawn.
