Three thieves simultaneously attacked Shili Huasha, employing a typical wolf pack tactic. This strategy ensured an absolute numerical advantage over the enemy within a certain area, swiftly eliminating one target before rapidly retreating to prepare for the next round of attacks.
Seeing Shili Huasha surrounded, players like Yiwang Ran Zhi Qingchun and Benshi Emo swung their staffs, preparing to rescue her. However, two other thieves rushed forward, delivering kicks that interrupted their spellcasting.
“Expel!”
“Dodge!”
“Burst!”
Both sides used every trick in the book. In group fights, thieves had a distinct advantage: when one of them was being overwhelmed, they could immediately use skills like Evasion Step to escape, allowing the remaining members to focus on attacking a single opponent.
Therefore, the wolf pack tactic was the most suitable strategy for a pure rogue “Dagger Team,” and players like Xuesha had perfected this strategy to an extraordinary degree.
The best counter to the wolf pack tactic was a pure warrior or paladin “Dagger Team,” which could completely suppress such a strategy. However, Shili Huasha and her companions were all spellcasters, with the only melee fighter being Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo, who was also a rogue.
The three thieves approached from different directions, completely surrounding Shili Huasha. Benshi Emo and others could only keep their distance and attempt to rescue her with spells, but every attempt was evaded by the thieves using skills like Evasion Step.
Shili Huasha immediately felt immense pressure. She waved her staff, casting Holy Shield on herself. As she saw Ming’s dagger about to strike, she quickly used Fear Howl.
Ming snorted coldly and activated his Mental Suppression skill, interrupting Shili Huasha’s Fear Howl.
At that moment, two other daggers also lunged toward her face.
Normally, if she faced any one of them individually, Shili Huasha was confident she could defeat them. But facing a 3v1 situation, even if she dodged one attack, it wouldn’t make much difference.
Just as Ming was about to land a hit on Shili Huasha, a dagger suddenly appeared in front of him, producing a crisp metallic clang as his attack was blocked.
It was Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo, who had timely intercepted Ming’s attack. While using the Block skill, his right foot subtly tripped Ying, who was attacking from behind.
In such an urgent situation, Ying couldn’t retract his foot in time. After being tripped, his body lost balance and crashed heavily to the ground, leaving him disoriented.
Shili Huasha immediately cast Fear on Feng, causing Feng’s body to uncontrollably run outward.
The three-man assassination attempt by Ming, Feng, and Ying was thwarted by the two defenders. Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo’s first move was stunning—blocking with his dagger while simultaneously tripping Ying with his foot, both actions performed almost simultaneously. His attack angle was perfectly calculated.
In an instant, everyone’s gaze locked onto Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo. That moment remained deeply etched in everyone’s mind.
This was a high-level player no less impressive than Wang Zhe Tian Xia and Sun!
How could Niuren Tribe have so many experts?
This was a question players could never figure out. Now another top-tier rogue, comparable to Sun and Wang Zhe Tian Xia, had emerged. Niuren Tribe always managed to surprise people.
Ordinary players began counting on their fingers: previously, in the entire Granland Empire, the top five rogues were all from Niuren Tribe. Now another one, Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo, had appeared, and no one could tell exactly where he would rank. Niuren Tribe was truly a den of thieves.
Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo exchanged several blows with Ming, forcing him to retreat.
The more Ming fought, the more alarmed he became. When facing Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo, the latter’s rapid and precise strikes placed immense pressure on him. Until now, only two people had ever made him feel this way—one was the current Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo, and the other was Nie Yan.
Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo interrupted Ming’s attacks and firmly engaged him in combat. Ming attempted to escape multiple times, but each time was intercepted by Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo.
Seeing Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo’s eerie crimson eyes, Ming inwardly shuddered—it was the Eye Sight skill. No wonder his stealth had been detected earlier.
Suddenly, Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo struck. Ming saw a flash of light reflecting off the dagger before his vision blurred, and the dagger pierced into his chest.
This was Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo’s assassination technique, always effective in duels. Ming had now fallen victim to it.
Ming felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his movement immediately became extremely difficult.
His heart sank—it was a slowing poison!
Before Ming could react, Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo’s dagger had already plunged into his forehead, leaving Ming stunned.
Seeing the dire situation, the other members of Xuesha rushed to save Ming, but two spells simultaneously flew in, striking Ming and sending him flying with two explosive sounds.
As Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo turned his head, he noticed that Shili Huasha and Benshi Emo had already coordinated to eliminate another thief.
The battlefield had now shifted to a 5v3 scenario, and Xuesha’s defeat was already inevitable.
Yiwang Ran Zhi Qingchun, Benshi Emo, and Sha Bu Si De Huaide quickly eliminated the remaining three thieves.
The power disparity between the two sides was too great, making the outcome of the battle predictable. Observers in the stands realized that Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo alone could handle at least three of Xuesha’s rogues. With the support of players like Sha Bu Si De Huai and Shili Huasha, it was no surprise that Xuesha’s five rogues lost.
Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo’s swift elimination of Ming secured the victory. That stunning strike was recorded by players and later became essential material for countless rogue players seeking to understand how it was achieved. Although they understood that quick reflexes and fast hands were important, that move couldn’t have been accomplished by reaction speed alone—it was clearly the result of extensive combat experience.
After resurrecting, the members of Xuesha were completely demoralized. They left in disgrace, destined to become the laughingstock of all players in the First Military Academy. Some rogue players who had previously considered joining Xuesha quietly abandoned their plans. From then on, their only goal was to join Niuren Tribe.
The best rogues belonged to Niuren Tribe, while lesser rogues would join organizations like Xuesha or Zhu Shen Zhi Jian. This was the general consensus among players.
Niuren Tribe was undoubtedly the holy temple for all technically-oriented players, and its density of high-level players was unmatched by any other guild.
Fang Rujie and others had originally planned to target Lan Se Feng Ling to boost Zhu Shen Zhi Jian’s reputation within the First Military Academy. However, after witnessing the strength of Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo and others, they abandoned their plans. They couldn’t even guarantee a victory against Lan Se Feng Ling’s group, and attempting such a move might backfire, causing them to lose face instead.
