Chapter 460: Even a Priest Can Slaughter People!

The dazzling blade light began a duel with Kuanshen. The brilliance of Cui Can Daoguang’s skills was beyond question; after all, he was the main tank of the Bull Player Tribe, no mere amateur.

The Bull Player Tribe had only sixty thousand members. Though its overall strength couldn’t rival Angel Dominion, Mage Alliance, or Sacred Guardians, it had an extremely high number of top-tier players, even surpassing Angel Dominion.

At the early stage of the game, guilds like Angel Dominion had to continuously discover talents and gradually gather them, so their number of experts would steadily increase. However, thanks to Nie Yan’s foresight, the Bull Player Tribe had quickly assembled a large number of skilled players in a short time, providing them with the best platform and conditions for development. Therefore, the number of powerful players in the Bull Player Tribe was beyond what other guilds could imagine.

Besides Shui Se Yantou and Cui Can Daoguang, players like Hei Bai, Wu Feng, Yuwang Ran Zhi Qingchun, and Daitou Dage Qi Zai also possessed strength rivaling Kuanshen, and they had endured far more trials than Kuanshen.

“With Brother Daoguang personally stepping in, Kuanshen doesn’t stand a chance,” Hei Bai confidently stated.

“This outcome is inevitable. Master Daoguang will dominate him effortlessly.”

The group continued discussing.

Under normal circumstances, in a duel between a swordsman and a shield warrior, if the shield warrior has high defense, the swordsman would struggle to gain an advantage. This is because the shield warrior’s defense is simply too high. With an additional shield, the effect is significant. A decent shield can provide over 30% block rate, making a portion of physical attacks ineffective or reducing their damage.

With a loud thud, Cui Can Daoguang’s heavy shield struck Kuanshen with a shield bash, forcing him back a few steps before immediately closing in again for another attack.

Under the relentless blows of the heavy shield, Kuanshen found no opportunity to counterattack. Every skill he attempted was interrupted by Cui Can Daoguang.

“Brother Daoguang’s timing is even more precise than mine,” Shui Se Yantou remarked with admiration. Though both had their own expertise, Cui Can Daoguang excelled particularly in timing, an essential skill for a shield warrior when tanking bosses.

Throughout the match, Cui Can Daoguang maintained dominance over Kuanshen. Even while holding the advantage, he remained steady and composed, attacking at a measured pace, exuding immense pressure and leaving Kuanshen no chance to retaliate.

The overwhelming strength displayed by Cui Can Daoguang and Shui Se Yantou amazed the onlookers. The Bull Player Tribe was indeed extraordinary!

Just then, a ripple of excitement spread through the crowd as they parted to both sides.

“Kuang Zei Nie Yan has arrived!”

“The Bull Player Tribe’s Leader Nie Yan is here!”

Nie Yan appeared outside the arena, but the massive crowd blocked his view of the inside. As he advanced, people instinctively moved aside, gazing at Nie Yan with reverence, silently saluting him.

This was the same Kuang Zei Nie Yan who had delivered a single, decisive strike in the Magma Forest!

This was the same Kuang Zei Nie Yan who had slaughtered the Bloodthirsty Battle Blades in Krips Fortress!

Nie Yan was a legend, standing at the pinnacle of glory, shrouded in mystery.

Nie Yan’s arrival instantly elevated the atmosphere to its peak, igniting the entire scene.

“Hello, Leader Nie Yan!”

“Leader Nie Yan, please invite me into the Bull Player Tribe!”

“Leader Nie Yan…”

Regardless of whether they knew Nie Yan or not, the players enthusiastically greeted him.

Nie Yan smiled and made his way toward Shui Se Yantou and the others. At that moment, he caught sight of the final scene on the arena stage—Kuanshen being sent flying by Cui Can Daoguang’s shield bash, crashing heavily to the ground.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

“Long live Brother Daoguang!”

“Kuanshen has met his match.”

Nie Yan now stood outside the arena, exchanging a knowing smile with Cui Can Daoguang inside.

Upon learning of Nie Yan’s arrival, Tuo Luo, who had been watching nearby, abruptly stood up. Kuang Zei Nie Yan had finally come!

Soon after, Kuanshen was resurrected. Having lost twice in a row, his mood was deeply disheartened.

“You’ve lost again. This time I want your leg armor,” Shui Se Yantou said to Kuanshen, his warrior gear finally within reach.

“I admit defeat, but I refuse to accept losing to a shield warrior,” Kuanshen muttered bitterly. Additionally, he suspected that apart from Cui Can Daoguang and Shui Se Yantou, the others in the Bull Player Tribe weren’t particularly strong.

Though Shui Se Yantou and Cui Can Daoguang were renowned, the rest of the Bull Player Tribe remained relatively unknown.

As Kuanshen spoke, boos erupted from the crowd.

“Lost and still not convinced? Players from Angel Dominion are nothing special!”

“That’s right. Already defeated twice, yet still claiming to challenge Kuang Zei Nie Yan? Go home and drink some milk for a few more years.”

Shui Se Yantou narrowed his eyes slightly, smirking. “Among the eight of us here from the Bull Player Tribe, excluding Nie Yan, you can choose anyone, including the two priests. I’ll give you another chance. We’ll bet another piece of equipment. How about that?”

As soon as Shui Se Yantou spoke, the entire crowd was stunned. It wasn’t surprising that Shui Se Yantou and Cui Can Daoguang could defeat Kuanshen. Everyone had seen Kuanshen’s strength, which was only slightly inferior to theirs. Yet Shui Se Yantou proposed such a bet, allowing Kuanshen to choose from the remaining six, including the priests Daitou Dage Qi Zai and Shi Li Hua Sha!

A priest battling a warrior? Wasn’t that suicide, especially against a top-tier warrior like Kuanshen?

Yet coming from Shui Se Yantou, all the players were somewhat skeptical. Could those two priests really be that formidable?

Shui Se Yantou’s words were extremely arrogant: even the Bull Player Tribe’s priests could defeat you!

This time, Kuanshen hesitated. He looked toward Tuo Luo outside the arena, who was frowning deeply, contemplating the sincerity behind Shui Se Yantou’s words—whether it was merely a bluff.

Seeing Kuanshen hesitate, the crowd began to mock him relentlessly.

“Hey kid, scared already? If you are, go back home. Carol City’s turf isn’t yours to dominate, Angel Dominion!”

“Scared to fight a priest? Angel Dominion is truly shameful.”

…

These words pierced Kuanshen’s ears painfully.

Shui Se Yantou was well aware of the prowess of Daitou Dage Qi Zai and Shi Li Hua Sha. The common belief that priests couldn’t compete in duels didn’t apply to them. Their combat skills were extremely refined. During sparring sessions with Shui Se Yantou and others, they maintained a win rate of around 30%. Against Kuanshen, their chances of victory were at least 60%. At this moment, Kuanshen, provoked and agitated, would likely perform poorly in a duel. Under these circumstances, Daitou Dage Qi Zai and Shi Li Hua Sha had a significant advantage. This was why Shui Se Yantou dared to make such a bold claim.

Hearing the harsh words from the Carol City players below, Tuo Luo furrowed his brow. This was forcing Kuanshen’s hand—if he refused to fight now, the shame wouldn’t be Kuanshen’s alone!

There was no choice left!

“Kuanshen, go ahead! Fight without restraint—you absolutely mustn’t lose!” Tuo Luo urged. This time was different from before. Kuanshen was facing a priest. There was no way he could afford to lose to a priest! Tuo Luo’s gaze shifted toward Nie Yan in the distant crowd. The main event had just arrived, and his target was Kuang Zei Nie Yan!

“Damn it, whoever the Bull Player Tribe sends, I’ll see them through!” Kuanshen glared at the remaining six.

Shui Se Yantou turned to Daitou Dage Qi Zai and others, asking, “Who will take him on? He still has a sub-legendary item. Win again, and we’ll strip him bare.”

The nearby players around Shui Se Yantou, upon hearing his words, felt somewhat dazed. In their minds, Shui Se Yantou was usually seen as a rather rigid and serious person. They hadn’t expected him to be so cunning. From the very beginning, he had targeted Kuanshen’s equipment, skillfully luring him into a trap step by step. Could it be that Kuanshen would end up losing all his sub-legendary gear?

Beside him, Daitou Dage Qi Zai smiled and said, “I’ll go. It’s been a while since I’ve had some fun.”

Daitou Dage Qi Zai leaped onto the arena. His appearance in a white priest robe left the players stunned.

“Damn, did I see that right? The Bull Player Tribe actually sent a priest?”

“Unbelievable! The Bull Player Tribe is really going to have a priest fight a warrior!”

In the minds of the players, priests were usually associated with low HP and fragility. Rarely could a priest defeat other classes of the same level, as they were not skilled in duels but rather in healing. Some priests might learn a few control skills, but those were merely for self-defense.

Daitou Dage Qi Zai maintained a relatively low profile and rarely appeared publicly. The players in the arena were unfamiliar with him, though a few recognized him.

“It’s Daitou Dage Qi Zai, the Bull Player Tribe’s top priest!”

“But even the strongest priest can defeat a warrior?”

“Well, maybe! Shui Se must be confident to send a priest.”

Some players dug up videos of Daitou Dage Qi Zai’s past performances. These were Daitou Dage Qi Zai’s glorious battle records—facing off against three, five, and even six opponents at once, dominating them all. These were internal Bull Player Tribe competition videos, generally not meant for public release.

A priest capable of slaying others!

Of course, the strength of those players couldn’t compare to Kuanshen’s.

“Damn, is this really a priest?” After watching the videos, one player rolled his eyes. If priests could be this strong, how could an ordinary player survive?

As the videos gradually spread, the crowd’s initial skepticism toward Daitou Dage Qi Zai transformed into growing confidence. If Daitou Dage Qi Zai could defeat Kuanshen, it would surely become a sensational piece of news.

Nie Yan watched Daitou Dage Qi Zai step onto the arena, smiling slightly. He felt particularly proud knowing that the Bull Player Tribe had three top-tier priests—Daitou Dage Qi Zai, Shi Li Hua Sha, and Hei Se Tian Tang—each capable of challenging the rank of Divine Priest. Other guilds would be lucky to find even one such player.
