The arrival of the Angel Empire’s members was swifter than anticipated. Moreover, they successfully evaded the reconnaissance of the Brave Bull Tribe during their movement.
Angel Empire’s leader, Angel Wing, spared no effort in attempting to intercept Nie Yan and his group.
Angel Wing is one of the two players in Saturn Empire who have successfully advanced to top-tier classes. They have one top-tier class player and more than twenty elite experts. They managed to succeed in their surprise attack because Cui Can Dao Guang, Lei Su, and Shui Se Yan Tou were completely unprepared.
Brave Bull Tribe acquired so many top-tier class players in such a short time largely because Nie Yan provided extremely detailed information on class advancement, allowing their players to transition smoothly. Angel Wing’s advancement to a top-tier class, however, was purely achieved through his own strength. The man was known as the number one player in Saturn Empire in his previous life for good reason. Of course, it wasn’t solely due to his skill. As the guild leader of Angel Empire, all the best resources of the guild were concentrated on him, which was also a crucial factor.
“Shui Se, come back quickly. Everyone, gather at coordinates 385.283.209!” Nie Yan said in the team chat. Angel Wing and others had appeared in Krux. If they continued fighting separately, they would easily be defeated one by one. Therefore, Nie Yan wanted to regroup everyone.
Krux had already been thrown into chaos by them. Although the deaths of Cui Can Dao Guang and Lei Su caused some losses to Brave Bull Tribe, the Holy Guardians suffered heavy damage and might never recover from this blow. Considering this, Nie Yan’s side still gained the upper hand.
They should withdraw now while they’re ahead, to avoid turning profit into loss and prevent further casualties!
As for avenging Cui Can Dao Guang and Lei Su, that would definitely be taken care of eventually!
After receiving Nie Yan’s orders, Tang Yao, Xie Yao, and others gathered toward the designated location.
The other nine were all safe. Nie Yan looked toward the center of the square. There were still at least a thousand Holy Guardians here, all elite members of the guild. This was a large piece of meat right in front of them, too valuable to let go.
Nie Yan directed the Golden Earth Dragon to charge toward the Holy Guardians players. The Golden Earth Dragon uttered several draconic words, and a giant meteor crashed down toward them.
With a loud bang, rows of players cried out in pain and turned into white light.
The Holy Guardians’ warriors no longer dared to surround the Golden Earth Dragon as they had before. Every time they did, the Golden Earth Dragon triggered its Counterattack Storm ability, and after several of these, they would suffer massive casualties.
Paladin Lefus and the Golden Earth Dragon worked together seamlessly. The Golden Earth Dragon was at the front wreaking havoc, while Paladin Lefus stayed behind, continuously casting healing spells and occasionally eliminating a few Holy Guardians who charged forward.
The Holy Guardians players were retreating step by step.
In another twenty minutes, they would definitely clear out all the Holy Guardians players here!
Nie Yan glanced at the team chat window and saw that Tang Yao, Xie Yao, and the other nine had already gathered together. That relieved him. Nine top-tier class players—if Angel Wing dared to target Tang Yao and others, he’d better be prepared to risk his own safety!
As Nie Yan was engaged with the Holy Guardians players, a group of people appeared in a side alley of the square—it was Angel Wing and his team!
“Boss, we’ve found Kuang Zei Nie Yan!” a rogue sent a message to Angel Wing. Three rogues had infiltrated the square and already set their sights on Nie Yan.
Angel Wing was hiding behind a civilian house, looking toward the center of the square in the distance, where he spotted Nie Yan standing behind the Golden Earth Dragon and Paladin Lefus.
“Boss, shall we start?” a tall warrior clad in dark golden armor asked. He was the top warrior of Angel Empire, Lie Yan!
Besides Lie Yan, there were many other renowned experts from Angel Empire present. In total, there were twenty-seven of them, all level 100 or above.
As the number one guild in Saturn Empire, Angel Empire’s strength was not to be underestimated. Although they didn’t have as many top-tier class players as Brave Bull Tribe, they had many players with the potential to advance to top-tier classes. With twenty-seven top-tier experts mobilized, they would be ashamed to show their faces if they didn’t achieve any results.
“Besides Kuang Zei Nie Yan, where are the others?” Angel Wing asked. He knew Nie Yan was a tough opponent. Although they had twenty-seven people and weren’t afraid of Nie Yan, killing him would still be challenging. Ying Wu’s speed was too fast; if Nie Yan wanted to escape, they wouldn’t be able to catch him.
“The other nine top-tier class players from Brave Bull Tribe are in the eastern part of Krux.”
“They’re all gathered together?” Angel Wing asked.
“Yes.”
Angel Wing furrowed his brows. With nine top-tier class players together, it would be difficult to deal with them. Earlier, when their twenty-seven top-tier experts ambushed Cui Can Dao Guang, Lei Su, and Shui Se Yan Tou, they still lost two members despite their surprise attack. Shui Se Yan Tou even broke through their encirclement and escaped. Such results were far from satisfactory. If they faced nine top-tier class players at the same time, the consequences would be unimaginable—they might even suffer a total defeat. Since the nine were gathered together, their only option was to try to eliminate Nie Yan.
“Lie Yan, you take three people to deal with Paladin Lefus. Piao Lin, you take Luo Bai and the other ten mages to destroy the Golden Earth Dragon! The rest will follow me to intercept Kuang Zei Nie Yan! Everyone, pay attention. You’re facing Kuang Zei Nie Yan. No matter what, ensure there are at least three teammates within five yards of you at all times!” Angel Wing was extremely cautious. This wasn’t the first time he had faced Nie Yan. He was well aware of Nie Yan’s strength. They only had one chance to kill Nie Yan. If the ambush failed, they would have no opportunity left.
Angel Wing sent a message to Sheng Yan, requesting him to coordinate with the siege cannons inside the fortress.
Sheng Yan hesitated after receiving Angel Wing’s request. The siege cannons had tremendous power, and firing them into the city center would definitely cause heavy damage to Krux. However, there was no time to consider that now. Sheng Yan gritted his teeth and agreed.
Angel Wing temporarily gained control over all the siege cannons in Krux. He calculated the range and found that a total of five siege cannons could attack this square. He immediately ordered the Holy Guardians players to adjust the aiming direction of those five siege cannons, all focusing on this square.
Let Kuang Zei Nie Yan have no chance to escape!
Nie Yan was commanding the Golden Earth Dragon to slaughter the Holy Guardians players when he suddenly received a voice call. Upon checking, it was from Guo Huai. If Guo Huai was calling him now, it must be important intelligence. He immediately accepted the call.
“Nie Yan, run quickly! Angel Wing and his people are nearby, and the Holy Guardians’ siege cannons are also targeting you. If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!” Guo Huai said anxiously. No matter how strong a player was, they couldn’t withstand siege weapons like fortress cannons!
Upon hearing Guo Huai’s words, Nie Yan was startled. He scanned the surroundings of the square and looked toward the distant alley. At the exit of the alley, a figure appeared in his line of sight—it was Angel Wing!
Angel Wing’s equipment had been completely upgraded. He wore a suit of purple-gold leather armor and held a massive golden longbow. The golden longbow was nearly two yards long, emitting a dazzling golden glow, appearing extremely impressive.
Seeing that golden longbow, Nie Yan’s eyes narrowed. It was the Solodi Lost Longbow!
Nie Yan had heard of its reputation in his previous life. It was a legendary level 100 piece of equipment. Its range could reach an astonishing two hundred yards. It also came with a Tracking Arrow skill, capable of precisely tracking a player’s location. Even in stealth mode, players were often tracked down. It was essentially a thief’s nightmare. Angel Wing had come fully prepared. This bow was specifically prepared for Nie Yan!
As soon as Angel Wing appeared, he immediately drew three long arrows, placed them on the bowstring, pulled it back like a crescent moon, and released. Three arrows shot toward Nie Yan like meteors.
Nie Yan scanned his surroundings and saw more than twenty Angel Empire players converging toward him.
These guys had completely blocked Nie Yan’s escape route. Although Nie Yan could probably escape on his own, he likely wouldn’t have time to recall the Golden Earth Dragon and Paladin Lefus.
Nie Yan placed his right hand on the ground, rolled forward, and dodged the three arrows. However, Angel Wing did not stop his attack. He continuously pulled out arrows from his backpack, shooting one after another. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—golden beams of light streaked through the air in straight lines. His attack speed was slightly faster than Nie Yan’s. After all, he was a professional archer, and Nie Yan, an amateur, still had a certain gap in skill compared to him.
Nie Yan quickly dodged, forced to use the Shadow Dance Step technique to evade more than ten arrows. Although he was still agile while dodging, he had no chance to do anything else.
Seeing Angel Wing in the distance shooting repeatedly with incredible hand speed, Nie Yan thought to himself that the guy indeed had some genuine skills.
Nine Stars Converge!
Angel Wing let out a low shout, rapidly drawing and firing three times in succession. Three Triple Arrows, nine arrows in a straight line, shot toward Nie Yan’s location.
As the nine arrows approached Nie Yan, they suddenly changed direction and dove downward toward his waist.
The sudden change in the arrows’ trajectory startled Nie Yan. Rolling away or using Shadow Dance Step wouldn’t work now. He quickly activated Wind Step. Ding, ding, ding—three arrows were blocked by the invincibility effect of Wind Step.
Nie Yan sidestepped and leaped sideways. He watched as the remaining six arrows didn’t fall to the ground but instead turned in a circular arc in midair, chasing him relentlessly like bone-attached parasites.
It was the Tracking Arrow ability of the Solodi Lost Longbow!
