Chapter 1 The Interception

The lecherous Hei Niu in the back was startled. Originally, Nie Yan's sword could definitely have killed him, but he never expected that at the very last moment, the sword's edge suddenly changed direction, passing right by his side and taking out several of his teammates, leaving him alive.

"Not bad," Nie Yan revealed a satisfied smile.

His control over Ruin Strike had reached its peak, a level of micro-control that ordinary players couldn't imagine.

In the blink of an eye, eleven of the twenty players had been killed.

Only nine people were still alive, including the two top-tier classes.

The only ones who could compete with Nie Yan were Lie Yan and Piao Lai Piao Qu; the others were just cannon fodder.

Lie Yan, seeing Ji Feng die to save him, let out an angry roar, his eyes bloodshot, like a wild beast as he charged towards Nie Yan.

With his Protective Aura fully activated, Lie Yan was like a Vajra.

Seeing that something was wrong, Piao Lai Piao Qu waved his staff, preparing to assist Lie Yan. He kept using skills like Blink, making it impossible for Nie Yan to grasp his movements. Once magic导师s activated Blink, they could use it continuously as long as they had enough magic power, which was what made them so troublesome.

"We'll hold off Crazy Thief Nie Yan. You guys hurry up and use the Random Teleport Scrolls!" Piao Lai Piao Qu said in a deep voice, waving his staff. Explosive flames rained down from the sky towards Nie Yan.

Nie Yan somersaulted and jumped, dodging continuously. The flames never managed to hit him.

His gaze locked onto one of the shamans, and he pounced on that shaman, his movements as fast as lightning.

Nie Yan's speed had simply surpassed the limits of humanity.

Seeing Nie Yan pounce on him, the shaman quickly crushed the Random Teleport Scroll. A flash of light, and he disappeared.

The others didn't dare to pick up the equipment dropped by their teammates, and they all used Random Teleport Scrolls.

"Crazy Thief Nie Yan, die!" Lie Yan roared, jumping high into the air and slashing down with his sword.

Lie Yan seemed to see his sword strike Nie Yan, creating a loud bang. But after the dust settled, he still couldn't find Nie Yan. It had just been Nie Yan's afterimage.

"Lie Yan, don't be impulsive. Get back here. Retreat!" Piao Lai Piao Qu shouted, seeing all his teammates running away.

Nie Yan suddenly appeared behind Lie Yan and slashed down with his sword.

Sensing the murderous aura coming from behind, Lie Yan used Whirlwind Slash, sweeping it out.

Nie Yan jumped back, dodging Lie Yan's Whirlwind Slash.

Hearing Piao Lai Piao Qu's shout, Lie Yan couldn't help but curse in his heart. After a brief exchange, he understood that it was impossible for the two of them to kill Nie Yan. If they continued to fight, they would accidentally fall into Nie Yan's hands. Although he was angry, he still crushed the Random Teleport Scroll.

A white light flashed, and Lie Yan ran away.

Seeing Lie Yan leave, Piao Lai Piao Qu also crushed his Return Scroll.

With everyone gone, Nie Yan smiled faintly. In fact, he had a chance to kill Lie Yan just now, but he didn't make a move. It was better to let Lie Yan live. Lie Yan would definitely be grateful to Ji Feng and remember Ji Feng's favor. With this in mind, he didn't kill Lie Yan.

Although this interception only killed eleven people, he was quite satisfied with the effect it achieved.

Nie Yan picked up all the items dropped on the ground. Adding them to the previous two items, there were a total of eleven pieces of equipment, three of which were sub-legendary, and one warrior's legendary item with very good stats. The warriors in the guild should be very interested in these things.

After taking care of everything, Nie Yan flew towards Branston Town, disappearing into the endless yellow sand.

The news of Nie Yan's appearance in the Satrin Empire quickly spread. He had only just appeared when he intercepted the Angel Corps' elite team, killing eleven of the twenty.

Many people couldn't imagine that Nie Yan had done this alone, but that was indeed the case.

The Angel Corps' elite team was not made up of newbie players.

The Angel Corps remained silent about what had happened. Nie Yan also didn't post the video online. Players were very curious about what had happened, but they couldn't guess.

At this time, in the Angel Corps' main hall, Angelic Feather and the others were watching the video brought back by Lie Yan and the others.

"Crazy Thief Nie Yan's skill is too ruthless. He killed nine of us in one move," Lie Yan said, still feeling apprehensive.

Nie Yan's Ruin Strike had left a shadow in the hearts of all the players present.

"How did Crazy Thief Nie Yan target you?" Angelic Feather asked with a dark expression.

Lie Yan and the others then remembered this question.

Piao Lai Piao Qu was shocked and said, "When we gathered the team, only the twenty of us knew about it. It's impossible for anyone else to receive the news, unless someone leaked it!"

"There must be a mole. Otherwise, Crazy Thief Nie Yan couldn't have ambushed us! Damn it!" Lie Yan punched the stone pillar next to him. If he knew who betrayed them, he would tear that person to pieces!

Ji Feng watched coldly from the sidelines, not interjecting.

"Before, we saw a person wearing a cloak in Branston Town. At that time, we thought it was a passing player, so we didn't pay attention to it. We didn't expect it to be Crazy Thief Nie Yan," Piao Lai Piao Qu said with some regret. Before the incident happened, they could never have imagined that Nie Yan had already come to the Satrin Empire, nor had they ever thought that they would be intercepted.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" Angelic Feather coldly glanced at Lie Yan and the others.

Lie Yan said somewhat dejectedly, "We understand. We were too careless."

They thought that no one in the Satrin Empire would dare to provoke their Angel Corps, so they were not prepared at all, which is why they fell into Nie Yan's hands.

Lie Yan looked at Ji Feng, patted Ji Feng's shoulder, and said somewhat guiltily, "Brother, thank you for saving me. If you hadn't used your elbow to push me away, I would have been the one killed. As a result, you were the one who got caught."

Ji Feng smiled and said, "It's nothing. It was just a coincidence. I thought I could attack Crazy Thief Nie Yan by rushing over, but Crazy Thief Nie Yan slashed down with his sword. In a moment of desperation, I pushed you out."

"Before, Huo Lie and Guang Ying ostracized you. I hope you don't take it to heart," Lie Yan said. Ji Feng had been ostracized before because of him. The reason was that the distribution was uneven when running dungeons. He had given the things that originally belonged to Ji Feng to Huo Lie and Guang Ying.

"It's nothing. I've already forgotten those things," Ji Feng said with a chuckle, but he sneered in his heart. It wasn't just Huo Lie and Guang Ying who were ostracizing him in the Angel Corps.

An elf magic导师 was watching the video and suddenly noticed something strange, "Did anyone else record the video?"

"I recorded it."

"I also recorded it."

Several people brought out all the videos and compared them with each other. They immediately discovered some strange things in the videos. It was difficult to notice under normal circumstances, but if you looked closely, you could see it. Originally, Nie Yan could have killed Se Niu with one sword, but in the process of slashing down, the sword's edge suddenly deviated a little, allowing Se Niu to escape unscathed. This kind of micro-control technique was probably only something Crazy Thief Nie Yan could do.

Ji Feng compared the videos, and he admired Nie Yan to the extreme. Nie Yan did it perfectly, cleverly using micro-control to let Hao Se Hei Niu go. After Lie Yan and the others saw it, they would definitely think that Nie Yan wanted to let Hao Se Hei Niu go without anyone knowing. Hao Se Hei Niu simply couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. The difficulty of Nie Yan's move was unimaginable and amazing.

"Se Niu, what were you doing when Crazy Thief Nie Yan slashed down with his sword just now?"

"I was stunned at the time. What's wrong?" Hao Se Hei Niu asked in a daze. He saw that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes.

"According to Crazy Thief Nie Yan's sword path, you couldn't have escaped if he wanted to kill you, but his sword suddenly turned, and it just happened to let you go. What's going on?"

"Crazy Thief Nie Yan's change of sword path was really perfect. It just happened to slash past you, and you actually said you didn't know anything," the elf magic导师 sneered.

"What do you mean by that?" Hao Se Hei Niu asked angrily, understanding something.

"It doesn't mean anything. You know what you did yourself," the elf magic导师 said coldly. He and Hao Se Hei Niu had never had a good relationship, and after watching the video, he was convinced that Hao Se Hei Niu was the mole.

"You suspect that I'm the mole? May I be struck by lightning if I'm the mole! Damn it, do you believe I'll beat you up!" Hao Se Hei Niu swore and was about to rush up to beat the elf magic导师.

Everyone quickly stopped Hao Se Hei Niu.

Ji Feng looked at the chaotic scene and also went up to stop Hao Se Hei Niu, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth. Their plan to frame him had succeeded. At this time, it would be difficult for Angelic Feather not to suspect Hao Se Hei Niu.

"Alright, stop it," Angelic Feather snorted coldly.

"Boss," Hao Se Hei Niu called out to Angelic Feather somewhat aggrieved.

Angelic Feather coldly glanced at Hao Se Hei Niu and announced, "Disperse. No one is allowed to spread today's events. You've all lost the face of the Angel Corps. Notify everyone in the Angel Corps that Crazy Thief Nie Yan has come to the Satrin Empire. Be careful!"

"Yes!" everyone responded.

Hao Se Hei Niu was stunned, a touch of sadness in his eyes. He saw a cold indifference in Angelic Feather's eyes. In other words, Angelic Feather had already begun to suspect him. Even though he hadn't done anything, he was already suspected by the boss. What was the point of continuing to stay in the Angel Corps like this? He couldn't help but feel a little dejected.

Hao Se Hei Niu had a decent network of contacts in the Angel Corps, and three people immediately came up to comfort him.

"Se Niu, we believe you're not the mole!"

Looking at their eager eyes, Hao Se Hei Niu's eyes welled up. He patted their shoulders and said in a hoarse voice, "Brothers, thank you!"

When everyone else suspected him, he still had these few good brothers who unconditionally trusted him. That was enough.
