Chapter 162 War Dancer

Two dual-sword warriors rushed towards the Mandala Serpent with lightning speed, leaping into the air. Their dual swords struck the serpent's body, immediately causing a series of damage numbers, each over two thousand, to float above its head.

Such a fast attack speed!

The Mandala Serpent opened its bloody maw and lunged. The two dual-sword warriors swiftly dodged to the side, jumped again, and unleashed another series of skills.

Nie Yan was secretly astonished. The professions of the Demonkin Tribe were truly formidable. In terms of professional skills and talents, both the magic swordsmen and dual-sword warriors had their unique strengths. If he were to clash with them head-on, their high attack power would be quite intimidating. However, Nie Yan was a thief. If he launched a sneak attack, the magic swordsmen and dual-sword warriors, with their low defense and health, wouldn't have any advantage.

"Lord Shen Wang said we should gather more redheart grass when we're on the surface," a magic swordsman in dark red leather armor said to You Gui, who was beside him.

"Where are we supposed to find that? We're not familiar with this place," You Gui said, annoyed.

People from Gods of Destruction. Hearing their words, Nie Yan felt a chill in his heart. He had some understanding of the situation in the underground world. In the Demonkin Tribe, there was also a behemoth-level guild called Gods of Destruction. This guild was very mysterious, always developing in a low-key manner. They didn't have a large membership, only a little over a hundred thousand people, but it was said that they had many experts. Shen Wang rarely appeared in public view, but he had a very high prestige in the Demonkin Tribe. In his previous life, during their peak period, Gods of Destruction had as many as six hundred Silverwings.

Nie Yan played with the Zennarde's Sword in his hand. Since You Gui and the others had appeared on his territory, they should be prepared to die. He couldn't let them go, since they were after his Reaper's Edge. After a moment of deliberation, he activated the information concealment effect of the Shadow Walker's Robe, put away the Zennarde's Sword, and switched to a dagger.

That way, even if he killed You Gui and the others, they wouldn't know who did it.

With Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group as his enemies, he didn't want to make too many more.

Locking his gaze on You Gui among the magic swordsmen, Nie Yan suddenly made his move.

You Gui and the others were about to rush up and attack the Mandala Serpent. Just as the three of them made their move, a figure appeared behind them.

You Gui suddenly felt that something was wrong behind him. His heart tightened, and just as he was about to counterattack, his body became unable to move, completely frozen.

What's going on?

A cold glint flashed before his eyes. Before he could make any move, a dagger appeared at his throat and slashed it open viciously.

With a *puff*, blood splattered.

You Gui's health instantly bottomed out, and he fell to the ground.

Nie Yan smiled faintly. Although a Silverwing magic swordsman was only second to a top-tier profession, he was still vulnerable to him. In order to pursue attack power, the Demonkin Tribe had greatly weakened their defense and health. The resilience of a magic swordsman was only slightly higher than that of a human thief. If he caught them off guard, he could end their lives with a single strike.

After killing You Gui, Nie Yan immediately entered stealth.

"Damn, there's a thief!"

"Lord You Gui is dead!"

"So fast!"

When the two magic swordsmen turned their heads, they only saw a figure flash past. They didn't even have time to see who it was. You Gui's body lay quietly on the ground.

A Silverwing magic swordsman had been killed just like that. Who was the other party?

A chill rose in their hearts. Before they could cast perception skills to locate Nie Yan, they heard a scream behind them. Looking towards the two dual-sword warriors in front, the Silverwing dual-sword warrior was already dead. The other one was retreating under the Mandala Serpent's pursuit. With such a terrifying thief lurking nearby, he no longer had the will to fight and kept dodging the Mandala Serpent's attacks.

The two Silverwings had fallen to the ground in the blink of an eye.

The remaining three people suddenly lost their composure. A deep sense of fear surged from the bottom of their hearts. They had come here with five people, but two had died in the blink of an eye. So far, they didn't even know who the other party was. This was the first time they had encountered such a thing. In the underground world, they had never met such an expert.

"What do we do?"

"Run!"

"Random teleport!"

Before coming to the surface, each of them had equipped a large number of random teleport scrolls, which came in handy at this time. The three people immediately took out random teleport scrolls. Just as they were about to crush them, another scream came. The remaining dual-sword warrior was stabbed in the back of the head by a cold light.

After stunning the dual-sword warrior, Nie Yan used Spinal Tap to send him flying.

After finishing all this, Nie Yan looked back and saw that the two magic swordsmen had already used their random teleport scrolls and escaped.

As long as he killed You Gui, the others shouldn't know the location of the Reaper's Edge. There was no need to continue chasing them.

The Mandala Serpent beside him discovered that the people attacking it were all dead, and only Nie Yan was left nearby, so it rushed towards Nie Yan.

Nie Yan equipped the Zennarde's Sword, his figure flashed, and he appeared at the side of the Mandala Serpent. With a *puff*, the Zennarde's Sword pierced through the Mandala Serpent's jaw, followed by a fierce cleave.

The Mandala Serpent struggled wildly. Nie Yan dodged quickly, delivering several consecutive elbow strikes and slashes. The Mandala Serpent was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

He picked up the items on the ground, which were a few pieces of Demonkin Tribe equipment. They were of no use to Nie Yan. Giving them to an enchanter would yield some good materials. Thinking of this, he threw the items into his bag.

Nie Yan didn't know how many people had accepted the quest to find the Reaper's Edge. For the next period of time, he had to be vigilant.

Next, he was going to the Saturn Empire. He wondered how Angellic Feather and Cao Xu would welcome him. A strange smile appeared on Nie Yan's lips.

Using a return scroll, Nie Yan returned to the city.

The Demonkin Tribe's Abyss of Darkness was located deep inside the abyss. All the buildings were artificially carved into the rock walls. A few rays of light shone down from above, making it very dim. However, the streets here were very lively. Each of the residents here had very strong dark vision. Darkness was not an obstacle for them at all.

You Gui and the others resurrected from the graveyard, teleported back to the main fortress of Gods of Destruction, and entered the guild headquarters.

In the central hall of the guild headquarters, a person wearing a black priest robe was sitting on a chair in front of the hall. A pair of wings grew from his back. Unlike ordinary players, his wings were not silver-white, but golden. Some white patterns on the robe clearly showed his identity: a dark priest.

"Why are you back?" the dark priest asked.

"Lord Shen Wang, we were ambushed by a thief and killed," You Gui said, feeling very depressed. This matter was really embarrassing for them.

"Didn't you have five people?" Shen Wang said in disbelief. You Gui and these five people couldn't even deal with a thief.

"The thief killed three of us. Only Silver and Butcher escaped using random teleport scrolls."

"Who was the other party?" Shen Wang asked with a frown. He knew the skills of You Gui and the other five. They could at least rank in the top fifty in the guild. You Gui, the strongest, ranked fifth. He felt relieved letting these five cross the underground passage to the surface.

"I don't know. The other party concealed his name." You Gui said with a mournful face. This was the most embarrassing thing. They were killed without even knowing who the other party was. They didn't see the other party's appearance, or even capture any video. If they told others, they would definitely be laughed at.

After hearing You Gui's words, Shen Wang pondered. In the Glimmering Empire, there were definitely no more than five thieves who could play You Gui and the others like that. And the top thieves were none other than those from Nirvana's Flame.

And the one who could kill You Gui and the others, without them even seeing his face, was most likely Mad Rogue Nie Yan!

"Mad Rogue Nie Yan, what a terrifying opponent," Shen Wang thought to himself. He estimated that even if he used a single-target forbidden spell against Mad Rogue Nie Yan, his chances of winning wouldn't exceed fifty percent.

"Lord, I suspect that the thief is..."

You Gui was about to speak, but Shen Wang waved his hand to interrupt him.

Shen Wang said, "Go back. Follow the team to level up honestly. Don't think about going to the surface anymore." Mad Rogue Nie Yan concealing his name and information made his intentions clear. He didn't want to start a feud with Gods of Destruction. Shen Wang was a smart man. Nirvana's Flame was already a dominant force in the Glimmering Empire. There was no benefit to provoke them.

"Understood." You Gui looked at Shen Wang's expression in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

Nie Yan spent more than a hundred gold coins to teleport back to Okoron City, and prepared some consumables in the various shops of Okoron City.

Since Nie Yan spent more than 50 million gold coins to upgrade Okoron City to a high-level city, the commerce here had become more and more prosperous. Many NPC tribes had opened shops in Okoron City, supplying various high-end consumables. More and more players were coming here. The land in Okoron City had already been sold out, and a large number of shops had been opened. Unlike other cities, Okoron City had various races such as humans, orcs, and elves, which was relatively mixed.

Nie Yan walked towards the Okoron City branch of the Starry Night Potion Shop, preparing to get some potions. On the way, Guo Huai sent another message, saying that Smile Not For Me had just completed an advancement quest and become a War Dancer, which made Nie Yan feel very magical.

War Dancer, like Saint Dancer, was a special title above ordinary Shadow Dancers, and it was an advancement title for ordinary Shadow Dancers.

Nie Yan had obtained the Saint Dancer title before Smile Not For Me, so for Smile himself, history had already deviated from its course. However, there must be gains and losses. After losing a Saint Dancer title, he gained a War Dancer title. In this way, Nie Yan couldn't help but sigh, the thing called fate was really elusive.
