Chapter 1 Stalemate

The PK between Nie Yan and Lei Su was at a standstill for a time. Lei Su himself also had excellent PK skills. No wonder he could stand in the position of number one warrior in his previous life for so long. His strength was not inferior to Brilliant Knife Light, Shui Se Yan Tou, and others, and may have even surpassed them.

In Faith, there were many experts. Even though Nie Yan had the advantage of knowing the future, he still couldn't gather all of them. If Lei Su could join Niu Ren Tribe, then Niu Ren Tribe would have another tiger general.

Looking at Lei Su in the center of the arena, in a defensive stance and fully vigilant, Nie Yan's left hand stroked the Zeennaard Sword. No matter what, this PK could only be won and not lost. He decided not to hold back any longer and fight with all his strength!

Lei Su buffed himself with several skills to expand his perception, but they still didn't take effect. He moved slowly and deliberately, step by step, to prevent his senses from becoming dull due to stillness.

Suddenly, a flash of fire streaked past his eyes. There!

Lei Su unleashed a sword aura, the crescent-shaped energy slashing down on the ground in front of him. Immediately, shattered stones shot in all directions, full of destructive power. The attack missed, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong beside him. It was too late to defend.

Nie Yan used a Spine Break, stabbing into Lei Su's back with incredible speed. Lei Su couldn't react at all, and with a bang, he was hit.

This was definitely a stunning blow!

It was breathtakingly fast.

A damage number of over 5,000 floated above Lei Su's head, but instead of falling into a crippled state as Nie Yan had expected, Lei Su swung his sword.

A protective skill! Nie Yan was shocked and quickly retreated to dodge, disappearing into stealth again.

To defend against Nie Yan, Lei Su had already buffed himself with the War God's Protection skill before even engaging him. Golden protective energy densely covered the surface of his body, making his defense extremely strong and ignoring all physical control skills. This was the most powerful aspect of a warrior. If an ordinary thief encountered a holy swordsman, they would never be able to break through the holy swordsman's defense or control him. The holy swordsman's powerful attacks could kill them in a few moves.

However, Lei Su was facing Nie Yan, and it was a different story.

Nie Yan had already activated his limit speed. His movement and attack speed were more than twice as fast as Lei Su's. Lei Su only felt figures flashing around him, but he couldn't hit Nie Yan each time. Before his attack could land, Nie Yan had already dodged it and launched attack after attack, slowly whittling away his health.

Lei Su's defense was very high, and holy swordsmen had a top-tier class talent that reduced any physical attack damage they received by 70%. This gave them a great advantage when dealing with physical attack classes. Therefore, the attack damage Nie Yan dealt to him was very limited. However, Nie Yan could deal five to six thousand damage with each attack, which was quite considerable when accumulated.

Lei Su had more than 80,000 health, which was gradually reduced to just over 20,000. He drank a bottle of advanced instant health potion, and his health increased a bit, but it was still less than half. He immediately applied a bandage to himself, while retreating quickly.

Nie Yan suddenly appeared on his left side and used a Foot Kick, kicking Lei Su in the waist and directly interrupting his bandage.

This guy is too difficult to deal with, Lei Su thought dejectedly.

After a long period of attrition, Lei Su's health was about to bottom out, but he hadn't even grazed Nie Yan. This Shadow Dance speed was truly unbelievable.

Before transferring to Shadow Dancer, Nie Yan's speed was already much higher than ordinary players. After transferring to Shadow Dancer, the top-tier class talent of Shadow Dance was a speed bonus, which made Nie Yan's speed reach an extremely terrifying level. Even some level 150 or 160 agile-type Lord Bosses couldn't do anything to Nie Yan, let alone Lei Su.

The players watching the battle between Nie Yan and Lei Su were all stunned. Lei Su's strength amazed many players. Holy swordsmen were indeed powerful, no wonder he dared to challenge Crazy Thief Nie Yan. But Nie Yan's elusive speed left the players speechless. Such a strong holy swordsman was in Nie Yan's hands, but he didn't threaten Nie Yan. Nie Yan still looked relaxed.

Nie Yan had fully displayed the Shadow Dance footwork. Each time, he would appear at the most tricky and undefendable angle, and then suddenly attack, making Lei Su suffer unspeakably.

Seeing that he was about to be ground to death by Nie Yan like this, Lei Su was enraged. He buffed himself with a Man-Bull Berserk, and his body suddenly became much stronger. He was two heads taller than before, like a huge man-bull. His skin slowly turned into a gray-white tone, like rock.

Shock!

War Stomp!

Wrath!

After activating Man-Bull Berserk, Lei Su unleashed skills one after another. All of them were small-scale area-of-effect attack skills. Wherever he went, the ground crumbled and cracked, stone chips shot in all directions, and energy currents shot around. He was extremely powerful. He roared, and with a charge, he plowed all the way towards Nie Yan's location. The powerful impact force cracked the ground into a huge trench.

Nie Yan didn't expect Lei Su to suddenly become so fierce. After using Shadow Dance to dodge the Shock and War Stomp, he still couldn't dodge Lei Su's Charge. He was grazed by the energy radiating from Lei Su's body, and a damage number of over 7,000 floated above his head. The leather armor defense of a thief was too fragile and couldn't withstand the attacks of a holy swordsman at all.

After being attacked, Nie Yan slowly revealed his figure, falling into Lei Su's eyes.

Lei Su raised the greatsword in his hand and slashed down, the sword aura sweeping over. He was like an enraged beast, constantly charging fiercely. Wherever he went, there was a scene of destruction.

Nie Yan dodged quickly, but he couldn't withstand such a dense attack. He was hit by Lei Su's sword aura, and a damage number of over 16,000 immediately floated above his head. This was the difference between leather armor defense and plate armor defense. Holy swordsmen could easily break through the defense of thieves, while thieves often couldn't break through the defense when attacking holy swordsmen, even with Shadow Dance. Nie Yan didn't dare to be hit again and drank a bottle of advanced instant health potion to restore his health.

Seeing Lei Su's sword aura slashing down, Nie Yan suddenly used Instant Strike, disappearing from the spot and appearing in front of Lei Su. The Zeennaard Sword in his hand stabbed straight at Lei Su's throat.

Lei Su roared and burst out a powerful force from his body, preventing Nie Yan's Zeennaard Sword from advancing any further. Lei Su slashed down with his sword. Nie Yan retreated slightly, his body rotating sideways and passing by Lei Su. Backstab!

Nie Yan's backstab was executed quite exquisitely, in one go.

With a puff, the Zeennaard Sword pierced into Lei Su's back, and then violently cut open, blood spurting out.

Although the protective energy on Lei Su's body was powerful, it couldn't achieve 100% defense. After Nie Yan's first attack was blocked by the protective energy, a second attack within a short period of time could cause damage.

Undefendable! Lei Su couldn't help but sigh. His attack couldn't keep up with Nie Yan's rhythm at all. The speed difference was too great. Nie Yan could easily hit him, but it was difficult for him to hit Nie Yan.

Nie Yan's backstab caused a damage number of over 16,000 to float above Lei Su's head. It was a critical hit!

Nie Yan's critical hit damage was still quite considerable, instantly sweeping away Lei Su's remaining health, leaving him with less than 10,000.

Lei Su was immediately anxious. His throat vibrated violently, and he let out a heavy howl. Feral Roar!

A blasting sound swept over like a tangible force. Nie Yan anticipated the danger in advance and quickly used a Mental Immunity to dodge the attack, quickly retreating more than ten yards and entering stealth, disappearing.

Nie Yan maintained his stealth state and wandered in the distance, smiling slightly. He would temporarily use bleed damage to grind down Lei Su's health. This was a way for thieves to deal with warriors.

A damage number of one or two thousand constantly floated above Lei Su's head, and his health dropped little by little. Nie Yan didn't appear for a long time. He understood Nie Yan's intention, took out a recovery scroll, and used it directly. His health soared by about 20%.

Time passed minute by minute. The health that Lei Su had finally recovered with the recovery scroll was gradually about to bottom out again.

This bleed effect lasted for nearly twenty seconds, making Lei Su a little desperate. What terrifying bleed damage! Even with a large amount of health, he couldn't withstand such consumption!

Lei Su gradually realized that Nie Yan's various attributes were too powerful. Even very ordinary attacks could cause amazing damage. PK-ing with Nie Yan was really depressing.

Nie Yan stared at Lei Su in the shadows, seeing Lei Su's health being whittled away little by little, and smiled slightly. It was almost time. He slowly sneaked over.

Lei Su had less than 10,000 health left. He prepared to make a final desperate fight, maintaining his walking state. Suddenly, his footsteps couldn't move. Not good, it's Lock-On!

Lei Su performed a Whirlwind Slash on the spot, trying to defend against Nie Yan's attack from behind. He stirred up a strong whirlwind on the spot, protecting himself.

The Whirlwind Slash lasted for three seconds, completely invalidating Nie Yan's Lock-On. Just as Lei Su's Whirlwind Slash stopped, he suddenly discovered that he was locked on again!

Nie Yan's Lock-On skill is off cooldown? A strong doubt arose in Lei Su's heart. Skills like Lock-On required at least thirty to forty seconds of cooldown time. How could it have cooled down so quickly!

What he didn't know was that Nie Yan also had an Extreme Intimidation skill in addition to the Lock-On skill, which had a similar effect to the Lock-On skill, but was even more powerful.

Just as Lei Su's Whirlwind Slash ended, before he could prepare his second skill, Nie Yan's Zeennaard Sword suddenly appeared at his throat. The flames burning on the sword seemed to devour all vitality.

Gouge!
