Chapter 746: Death and Rebirth

Everyone thought Nie Yan had already perished. Amidst thunderous lightning, Nie Yan stepped forward slowly.

Lightning danced continuously around Nie Yan’s body, yet it seemed as if a thin film surrounded him, preventing the lightning from advancing even half an inch further.

Nie Yan was actually still alive!

At this moment, amidst the lightning, Nie Yan appeared like a mighty deity.

A heavy oppressive force made them feel breathless.

He still survived all that!

They couldn’t imagine what kind of method could possibly defeat Nie Yan.

A profound sense of helplessness arose in their hearts; Nie Yan had become an unbeatable legend.

Everyone was at a loss about what to do with Nie Yan. Warriors forgot to charge, and mages forgot to cast spells. They had already lost confidence, believing that any attack against Nie Yan was futile.

Nie Yan slowly emerged from the lightning. Many players recorded this scene with their cameras. At that moment, Nie Yan delivered a visually stunning impact.

When the shamans detonated their Wind and Thunder Totems, Nie Yan activated Divine Arbitration. The magic immunity effect of the Divine Arbitration skill allowed Nie Yan to ignore the damage caused by the Wind and Thunder Totem explosions.

Despite the explosion of so many Wind and Thunder Totems, Nie Yan remained unscathed. The psychological impact on the players of Angel Dominion was unimaginable. Qing An’s death was in vain, and Nie Yan had completely shattered their fighting spirit.

The Golden Earth Dragon and the paladin Lai Fusi charged forward with great momentum. The Golden Earth Dragon continuously spewed dragon fire, obliterating groups of players with each fiery blast. With a mighty dragon roar, a scorching fireball descended from the sky, crashing down and setting the surrounding area ablaze.

Most of these players were over level 100, and their strength had significantly increased. When facing the Golden Earth Dragon and Lai Fusi, they weren’t completely helpless. However, they still couldn’t defeat the Golden Earth Dragon and Lai Fusi, who worked together seamlessly.

The Golden Earth Dragon and Lai Fusi charged forward relentlessly, causing chaos and panic among the Angel Dominion players.

“Quickly, retreat!”

“Everyone, get out of here!”

The battlefield became chaotic. The ground was littered with corpses, numbering around five to six hundred. The remaining Angel Dominion players fled, disappearing into the jungle.

After more than ten minutes of fierce battle, the area finally returned to calm, though the ground was left in complete disarray.

Nie Yan checked his health. It had decreased slightly but not significantly. The Golden Earth Dragon and Lai Fusi had suffered heavier damage, but with Lai Fusi, the powerful healer, they were quickly healed.

After collecting the dropped equipment, Nie Yan sat on an open area to rest, waiting for Sanjie Buliu, Su Youyou, and others to resurrect.

The corpse of the shaman from Sanjie Buliu’s team lay quietly on the grass at the edge of the jungle, with a beam of white light shining upon him.

The shaman’s fingers twitched slightly. He opened his eyes, sat up, and after resurrection, his health was only at 500, with no mana left. Sitting on the grass, he began to recover his health and mana, glancing at Nie Yan and slightly bowing in greeting.

Nie Yan nodded in acknowledgment. Though they hadn’t interacted much, Nie Yan could tell the shaman was a simple and honest person.

After a while, the shaman’s health and mana had recovered. He stood up and walked to Sanjie Buliu’s side, his hands gathering two orbs of blue light. About five or six seconds later, the shaman raised his arms in a prayer gesture toward the sky. Sanjie Buliu’s body radiated a dazzling blue light, then stirred and sat up.

One by one, the teammates were revived by the shaman, except for Ziye.

“Should I revive Ziye?” the shaman asked Sanjie Buliu.

Sanjie Buliu shook his head and said, “I’ve already kicked him out of the team.”

Even though Ziye was technically competent, Sanjie Buliu no longer wanted to keep him.

Sanjie Buliu looked around. On this open field lay around five to six hundred corpses. The ground was scorched and scarred from the explosions, and the once verdant grassland was now in ruins.

Sanjie Buliu, Su Youyou, and others exchanged glances, unable to hide their astonishment.

Over a thousand players from Angel Dominion had been wiped out in such a short time, leaving five to six hundred dead. They looked into the distance, where Nie Yan sat quietly, as if nothing had happened.

Kuang Zei Nieren was truly as legendary as his reputation!

After their recovery, they all walked toward Nie Yan.

“Actually, we should have realized it earlier. You are Kuang Zei Nieren. Other than Kuang Zei Nieren, which rogue could be so powerful as to solo a level 180 elite?” Sanjie Buliu remarked with emotion.

Nie Yan smiled faintly but disagreed, saying, “In Bull Men Tribe, there are at least three other rogues who can do the same.”

Sanjie Buliu was taken aback and asked, “You mean Sun, Wang Zhetianxia, and Xiaorong Bushi Weiwo?”

“You’ve heard of them?”

“Of course. In the Bull Men Tribe, besides Kuang Zei Nieren, those three Shadow Dancers are well known. However, I’m still surprised that they can solo level 180 elites. Are all the Shadow Dancers capable of that?”

“I’m not entirely sure, but probably,” Nie Yan replied. After all, his own limits weren’t just restricted to level 180 elites.

“Top-tier classes are truly admirable,” Sanjie Buliu said with admiration.

“We should leave quickly. Angel Dominion might send more experts soon,” Su Youyou said with some concern.

“Their top-tier classes aren’t numerous enough,” Nie Yan said calmly. His unspoken thought was that even if they came, they would just be offering themselves up for defeat.

“I kicked Ziye out of the team. I’m afraid the news about the treasure will soon get out,” Sanjie Buliu said. If other guilds learned about the treasure here, they would definitely try to claim it at all costs. Although a level 130 demon-possessed lord was very powerful, it was still possible that someone might find a way to deal with it.

“I have a plan that might work, but I’ll need some people. Can you hire some top-tier shamans? They must be absolutely trustworthy,” Nie Yan asked.

“If money is no object, we definitely can,” Sanjie Buliu replied. He had some connections in the Satern Empire.

“How many do we need?”

“A top-tier shaman’s daily fee is around two thousand gold coins. How many do you need?”

“About ten,” Nie Yan said. Twenty thousand gold coins was just a drop in the bucket for him. “Besides the shamans, I’ll call some people from the Bull Men Tribe.”

“Okay,” Sanjie Buliu nodded. “We’ll start looking for people right away.”

Sanjie Buliu and Su Youyou quickly got busy, contacting their friends.

Noticing their connections, Nie Yan suddenly had an idea and said, “Angel Dominion knows you’re with me, which might bring you some trouble. If you can’t stay in the Satern Empire anymore, you can come to the Bull Men Tribe.”

Nie Yan thought this invitation would be tempting for many people, especially since it was coming directly from him. After all, joining the Bull Men Tribe was a dream for many players. Not only were there many skilled players to learn from, but the tribe also offered enviable high welfare benefits.

Sanjie Buliu and Su Youyou exchanged glances.

Su Youyou shook her head and smiled slightly, saying, “Thank you for the kind invitation, Brother Nie. We’re used to living in the Satern Empire and have many friends here. We’ve clashed with Angel Dominion more than once. We also have good sources for information. It would take Angel Dominion quite some effort to hunt us down.”

Sanjie Buliu chuckled.

Nie Yan nodded, understanding their meaning. They were essentially local powerhouses in the Satern Empire. If they moved to the Greenlan Empire to join the Bull Men Tribe, due to the national differences, they would encounter many difficulties in completing quests and other activities. They wouldn’t necessarily thrive in the Greenlan Empire. However, in the Satern Empire, they had extensive connections and good information sources, ensuring higher income compared to moving to the Greenlan Empire.

“Since that’s the case, forget about it,” Nie Yan said. He naturally wouldn’t force Sanjie Buliu and Su Youyou to join the Bull Men Tribe.

“If Brother Nie wants to establish a branch in the Satern Empire, we’d be happy to help,” Su Youyou said, looking at Nie Yan with her bright eyes.

Su Youyou’s sharp gaze seemed to pierce through Nie Yan, a glint of mischief flashing in the corner of her eye.

Nie Yan chuckled. Su Youyou was very clever, hitting the nail on the head. Nie Yan indeed had intentions to establish a branch in the Satern Empire. However, this was Angel Dominion’s territory. Without connections and support, it would be difficult to establish a branch there.

“Actually, setting up a branch is quite simple. If you give us some funds, we can gather two or three ten thousand members within a month,” Sanjie Buliu said confidently. However, he didn’t think Nie Yan would really invest in establishing a branch, so he mentioned it casually.

“How much money do you need?” Nie Yan asked.

“At the beginning, we would need at least two or three hundred thousand gold coins. Later on, continuous investment would be required to develop the guild,” Sanjie Buliu estimated.

“If you’re willing to work for me, I can give you two or three hundred thousand gold coins right now, and you can start building the guild upon your return,” Nie Yan said after a moment’s thought.

Sanjie Buliu was stunned and asked doubtfully, “You’re going to give us the money now? Aren’t you afraid we might just take the money and run?”

“Trust those you employ, and don’t employ those you distrust. I believe in your integrity. If you do run off with the money, it will be my own fault for misjudging you,” Nie Yan replied with a smile, his expression calm and confident.

Sanjie Buliu stared at Nie Yan, feeling a bit moved. Nie Yan’s demeanor deeply impressed him. He sighed and said, “No wonder Bull Men Tribe is known as invincible. I suddenly understand why.”
