Chapter 521: Carnage

At the moment when Leader Brother Qizai illuminated the thieves with his light spell, Tang Yao and the others swung their staves and instantly controlled all three thieves. Even the most skilled thieves could not withstand the continuous magical suppressions from Tang Yao, Xiachong Yubing, Sha Buzhi De Haidang, and others. Wave after wave of magical attacks bombarded the thieves, sending them flying away.

This entire process happened in an instant. Suigedao and others, hiding in the shadows, watched in shock. This group was practically a pack of killing deities, delivering deadly strikes with every move.

As some players from Niuren Tribe were about to use recall scrolls, a series of water-like magical currents swept toward them, interrupting their spells. Damage numbers floated above their heads—though seemingly insignificant, this damage was enough to disrupt all their recall attempts.

“There, it’s a rogue!” A player pointed toward the distant woods. A thief hidden in the bushes entered the players’ sight.

That rogue was none other than Suigedao. He had used an air blast scroll to interrupt the recall spells of Niuren Tribe’s players.

“Kill him! Don’t let him escape!”

Tang Yao, Xiachong Yubing, and others swung their staves, launching waves of spells toward Suigedao.

Suigedao, clearly prepared, leapt aside and activated a sprint ability, vanishing from their sight the moment Tang Yao and others began casting.

At that moment, waves of players from the Arcane Alliance and Sacred Guardians emerged from the surrounding woods. Around a thousand players, transported via arcane mages, surrounded Niuren Tribe from all directions, and their numbers kept increasing.

“We’re surrounded!” Shuiseshantou said grimly. The Arcane Alliance and Sacred Guardians had clearly come prepared.

“Do you think this ragtag bunch can stop us? Let’s fight our way out!” Tang Yao shouted. He swung his staff, launching magical attacks at the enemy players.

At that moment, rogues from the Arcane Alliance and Sacred Guardians pulled out scrolls and unleashed a barrage on Niuren Tribe’s players. The Arcane Alliance was famous for its scrolls. They had invested heavily in training high-level mages specialized in scroll creation, who spent spare moments producing scrolls, accumulating far more than other guilds. In addition to their own production, they had purchased many scrolls from various shops. They had truly spared no effort in preparing for this confrontation.

Kuangfa alone had invested more than 300,000 gold coins in scrolls for this operation.

“Brothers, Niuren Tribe won’t last long. Kill them all!” Kuangfa shouted arrogantly, standing on a hilltop in his dark red robe, directing the players below.

Over 120 rogues simultaneously used high-level web scrolls. Large nets rained down from the sky like a heavenly trap.

Tang Yao and others quickly used fire magic, launching waves of fire spells to burn many of the webs. However, some still trapped parts of Niuren Tribe’s players, immobilizing them in place.

Surrounded by the Arcane Alliance and Sacred Guardians, Niuren Tribe’s players had nowhere to escape.

The two sides began exchanging magical fire, with players falling constantly.

Tang Yao, Sha Buzhi De Haidang, Benzhi Mowang, and others swung their staves, unleashing spells that sent enemy players flying one after another. However, more reinforcements kept arriving.

“Where’s Kuangzei Nian? Come out if you dare! I don’t believe you can still defy fate now!” Kuangfa laughed arrogantly from the hilltop.

In terms of losses, due to many of Niuren Tribe’s players being trapped by web spells, they suffered heavy casualties, losing over thirty players to concentrated magical attacks.

However, Niuren Tribe’s players displayed remarkable morale. Even at a disadvantage, they fought ferociously, eliminating at least seventy or more players from the Arcane Alliance and Sacred Guardians. However, in terms of net losses, Niuren Tribe suffered more. Every fallen player from Niuren Tribe was an elite, each capable of ranking in the top hundred of the enemy guilds, with many even capable of entering the top fifty or even top ten.

Seeing player after player from Niuren Tribe fall, Kuangfa clenched his fist. With today’s results, he could request more investment from Century Capital Group, earning a huge profit. With Century Capital’s financial backing, 300,000 gold coins was just a small fraction. Beyond Century Capital’s rewards, the heavily damaged Niuren Tribe would likely no longer dare to accumulate contribution points as recklessly as before, allowing them to smoothly seize control of the Hilton Fortress territory.

The chaos continued. Determined to fight Cuicandanguang and others to the end, the Arcane Alliance kept throwing out scrolls as if money meant nothing.

Mental shock scrolls, entangling vine scrolls, area-of-effect magic scrolls… They used every available tool.

“Dao Guang, we can’t hold on. We’re taking heavy losses.” Leader Brother Qizai messaged in the group chat.

Watching his players fall one by one, Cuicandanguang felt pained. These were the backbone of Niuren Tribe!

Cuicandanguang roared, “Follow me and fight our way out!” He activated Bull Might and drank a high-level magic resistance potion, charging forward at the front.

Cuicandanguang charged forward, knocking three Arcane Alliance players flying.

His charge immediately drew attention from surrounding Arcane Alliance players. Fifty to sixty mages focused their firepower on Cuicandanguang. However, they frustratingly found that they could only deal double-digit damage to him, even on critical hits, only reaching over 100.

With so many Arcane Alliance players and concentrated firepower, Cuicandanguang’s health quickly dropped to near depletion.

Behind him, Leader Brother Qizai, Shili Huasha, and others cast healing spells on Cuicandanguang, quickly restoring his health to full. His health kept fluctuating up and down, but thanks to timely healing from Leader Brother Qizai and Shili Huasha, Cuicandanguang remained relatively unharmed.

Empowered by holy light, Cuicandanguang charged into the Arcane Alliance mages, cutting them down one by one. The fragile cloth armor of these mages stood no chance against Cuicandanguang’s top-tier equipment!

Shuiseshantou, Heibai, Wufeng, and others followed Cuicandanguang, charging northward. Enemy players fell in their wake, littering the ground with corpses.

Warriors from the Arcane Alliance and Sacred Guardians activated charges, breaking Niuren Tribe’s formation into scattered fights, making the battlefield increasingly chaotic. With both sides intermingled, neither dared use area-of-effect magic, which could harm their own.

The battle became a war of attrition. Niuren Tribe’s players could often take on three opponents alone, with stronger ones even handling five. Cuicandanguang, Shuiseshantou, and others were nearly unstoppable, their equipment and skills far surpassing ordinary players!

However, the deadliest killer wasn’t Cuicandanguang but Tang Yao. Tang Yao was like a turret, launching wave after wave of spells. No player, even warriors, could withstand a single strike from him. His Arcane Elemental had already reached level four. In an era where level-100 top-tier classes were common, the Arcane Elemental remained a rare treasure, providing massive magical boosts. Thus, Tang Yao was like a godlike figure. Several warriors charged at Tang Yao, only to be felled by his spells.

From his hilltop vantage point, Kuangfa surveyed the battlefield, satisfied with the situation. Niuren Tribe claimed invincibility, and in the previous Krips Battle, Kuangfa had deeply felt their combat strength. Yet now, they had already eliminated over 100 Niuren Tribe players, albeit at the cost of over 500 of their own. Still, this was a glorious result.

Looking down, Kuangfa saw Cuicandanguang, Tang Yao, and others cutting through his forces. Frowning, he noted how these few had already eliminated over sixty of his players, accounting for over 10% of their losses.

“Damn it, Feishui, block them! Don’t let them escape. Every piece of equipment we loot is profit!” Kuangfa commanded in the team chat.

“Understood, boss. Tang Yao has a flying mount. Should we prioritize taking him out first?”

Flying mounts were too powerful. If Tang Yao found time to summon his mount, they would face trouble.

“No, let him summon it. Even if he doesn’t have time, create an opportunity for him!” Kuangfa grinned sinisterly. If they could take down Tang Yao’s flying mount, this operation would be a huge success.

Though puzzled by Kuangfa’s order, the subordinate players followed instructions without question.

As Kuangfa basked in self-satisfaction, a sudden glint of cold light flashed behind him. His heart jolted—there was a rogue! By the time he realized it, it was too late. As a mage, he had few countermeasures against rogues. In this situation, there was no time to cast spells. Ignoring his dignity, he rolled aside desperately.

A metallic clang rang out—the sound of two daggers colliding.

Turning around, Kuangfa saw a slender figure: Yi Chui Dingqing! This sexy, charming beauty was like a thorny rose, exuding danger. Beside her stood the escaped Suigedao, who had just saved Kuangfa’s life.

Suigedao barely managed to intercept Yi Chui Dingqing’s strike, allowing Kuangfa to escape. However, Yi Chui Dingqing changed tactics mid-strike, thrusting her dagger into Suigedao’s forehead, leaving him stunned.
