The ghost princess Eina from behind was getting closer, and the ordinary players were retreating in panic.
As they approached a dead end, Nie Yan was about to escape using a jump skill when suddenly more than twenty people emerged from ahead.
These more than twenty individuals were all players from the Saturn Empire, representing various classes: druids, shamans, rogues, mages, and warriors. The melee units quickly surrounded Nie Yan while the mages and shamans began chanting spells.
Unlike the ordinary players who panicked and fled, this group rushed toward Nie Yan, which appeared very sudden.
“Transform into a giant bear!”
Three druids crouched down and transformed into muscular giant bears, charging forward.
“Wind Fury Roar!”
“Shadow Arrow!”
The mages and shamans unleashed streams of magic.
Three elven rogues entered stealth mode, prowling around the perimeter.
Their movements were skillful, clearly indicating they were well-trained, high-level players.
At this moment, Xie Yao, Sha Bude Si Hua, and others who were standing atop some buildings observed the scene from above. Seeing more than twenty people encircling Nie Yan, they sensed something was wrong.
“Nie Yan, watch out!”
“Nie Yan, be careful!”
Everyone cried out in alarm. Nie Yan was in a perilous situation, with the ghost princess Eina chasing from behind and an ambush ahead. He had little time to react, causing everyone to sweat nervously on his behalf.
Not only Xie Yao and Sha Bude Si Hua, but players watching the live stream on the forums also felt their hearts race.
At Clementine Fortress, Ang Wing Angel and Cao Xu were leisurely sitting on chairs.
Seeing more than twenty players unexpectedly appear and intercept Nie Yan, Ang Wing Angel glanced at Cao Xu beside him. He had to admit that Cao Xu acted quickly.
“Brother Cao, impressive tactics,” Ang Wing Angel remarked. His own people were still on their way, while Century Financial Group had already struck.
Cao Xu smiled.
Ang Wing Angel’s tone suddenly shifted, saying, “If it were me facing such a situation, I might certainly be doomed. But that person is Kuang Zei Nie Yan.”
Cao Xu raised his eyebrows. Nie Yan was indeed a troublesome opponent. They had plotted against him countless times before, thinking he was certainly doomed, but each time Nie Yan successfully escaped.
Before Cao Xu could say anything, both of their eyes remained fixed on the video, unable to look away. Their hearts couldn’t help but race; this was an unmissable opportunity!
The ghost princess Eina swung a tentacle downward.
Nie Yan jumped aside. With a bang, Eina’s tentacle struck the ground beside him, shattering the stone-paved surface into dust.
Just as Nie Yan was about to use Phantom Dance Steps to draw Eina’s attention, over a dozen spells came flying at him from the front. The ground beneath his feet softened slightly—Muddy Swamp! Several instant curses struck Nie Yan, but thanks to the high magic resistance of the Abak set, the effects of these curses were minimal.
Nie Yan shifted his body, and the spells whistled past him.
Nie Yan immediately locked his gaze on those players. This group must have been sent by Angel Empire or Century Financial Group!
They’re asking for death!
A sudden glint of killing intent flashed in Nie Yan’s eyes, emitting eerie red light—True Sight!
Under his gaze, the three rogues in stealth were instantly revealed.
The three giant bears lunged forward. Nie Yan leaped into the air, soaring over them. Upon landing, he sprang forward like a spring, charging toward one of the warriors.
“Stop him!”
“Don’t let him escape!”
The mages and shamans released spells, shooting toward Nie Yan.
Nie Yan activated Death Exemption. Bang! Bang! Bang! He took seven or eight spells, but these spells only inflicted dozens of damage points. Due to the effect of Death Exemption, none of the controlling spells took effect.
Seeing Nie Yan charging forward, the warrior raised his great sword horizontally, roaring. His body suddenly expanded.
This was the effect of Berserk!
“Die!” The warrior swung his sword, a powerful sword aura slicing through the air.
It was like a mantis trying to shake a tree, laughable for its lack of self-awareness. Nie Yan sneered disdainfully and used Storm Rush, his speed increasing dramatically as he quickly approached the warrior.
Bang! The warrior’s sword struck Nie Yan, causing more than 300 points of damage.
Their equipment was simply not on the same level. This warrior wore a full set of level 130 gear, with a few sub-legendary and legendary items, but they were nothing special. Nie Yan, however, wore a full set of level 180 legendary gear, immediately highlighting the difference in equipment.
Nie Yan endured the warrior’s blow. His twin daggers slashed three times in quick succession, almost simultaneously cutting across the warrior’s chest.
Bang! The warrior, with 17,000 HP, was instantly eliminated by Nie Yan.
At this moment, damage numbers floated above the heads of the surrounding more than twenty people. Bang! Bang! Bang! They fell to the ground one after another.
This was the effect of Kill Aura! Whoever was locked onto by Nie Yan’s aura would suffer splash damage from Kill Aura.
A pile of corpses.
Three tentacles from the ghost princess Eina wrapped around. Nie Yan immediately leaped into the air, soaring dozens of yards, landing on top of a building before swiftly leaping away.
Chaos erupted behind him as the ghost princess Eina continued her furious slaughter of the players below.
Nie Yan’s encounter with the more than twenty Century Financial Group members lasted only a few seconds, but that moment left all players stunned. Eliminating more than twenty people in an instant upon meeting them was terrifying.
Many of them couldn’t wait to replay the video, slowing down the footage to figure out exactly how Nie Yan had done it.
“What kind of skill is that? Area attack damage?”
“I remember there’s a skill called Shadow Slaughter with such an effect.”
“These guys dared to ambush Kuang Zei Nie Yan. Isn’t this asking for a beating?”
From the video, players could see that these attackers were likely sent by Angel Empire or Century Financial Group. However, their ambush was completely ineffective against Nie Yan. Their spells and skills could only inflict dozens or at most a hundred points of damage on Nie Yan, while Nie Yan’s health was in the tens of thousands. Wasn’t this just asking for death?
Fox and others, hiding in corners and ready to ambush Nie Yan, exchanged astonished glances. If they had been there, they would probably have met the same fate as those people. They sent a message about the failed ambush to Cao Xu, waiting for his orders.
Neither Cao Xu nor Ang Wing Angel expected such a result. They paused for a moment, exchanging bitter smiles.
“Brother Cao, it seems these methods are ineffective against Kuang Zei Nie Yan. This guy has become monstrous after wearing the Abak set. A full set of level 180 legendary gear—I wonder where he got it. It’s so hard to find, yet he managed to collect it all,” Ang Wing Angel said, filled with helplessness. He wished just as much as Cao Xu that the people he had sent could successfully eliminate Nie Yan, but it was just too difficult.
Cao Xu was also frustrated. The people he had sent, although they hadn’t advanced to top-tier classes, were the most talented players under his command, only one class advancement quest away from becoming top-tier. They wore high-quality gear that he had painstakingly gathered, including many legendary items. Yet, when this group attacked Nie Yan, they only managed to inflict dozens of damage points, with the highest being the warrior’s 300. Nie Yan wasn’t even scratched! And when Nie Yan killed these people, he eliminated them instantly, wiping out twenty-three in one go!
“Except for top-tier classes, ordinary players can’t even penetrate his defense. Brother Fan, regardless of our past grievances, I hope we can cooperate in the future. Otherwise, once Kuang Zei Nie Yan has the time, there will be no place for us in the Saturn Empire anymore. We need to get more top-tier classes as soon as possible,” Cao Xu said, realizing the urgency of the situation.
“You don’t need to tell me that, I understand. If there’s anything I can help with, Brother Cao, feel free to ask directly.”
Today marked Nie Yan’s first battle after wearing the Abak set, and the power of the Abak set left a deep impression on all the players in the server.
The chaos in Okolen City continued. Although the ghost princess Eina was invincible, she struggled to catch up with Nie Yan, who was as fast as lightning. Instead, she occasionally suffered a few attacks from Nie Yan.
Nie Yan kept leading the ghost princess Eina in circles. Due to Nie Yan’s fierce attacks, Eina’s attention was completely focused on him, allowing the surrounding players, arrow towers, ballistae, and trebuchets to unleash their firepower freely.
The ghost princess Eina destroyed nearly sixty to seventy buildings, turning the eastern part of Okolen City into ruins. At least 150,000 to 160,000 players had died, with many players dying multiple times.
After five to six hours of intense battle and suffering heavy losses, the ghost princess Eina’s health was finally reduced to around 10%.
“Everyone, keep pushing! The ghost princess is almost down!”
After such a long endurance battle, their patience and stamina had reached their limits. Seeing the ghost princess Eina’s health drop below 10%, everyone became somewhat impatient.
The ghost princess Eina chanted a spell, and within a radius of three hundred yards, raging flames erupted.
Players around instantly died in droves.
Nie Yan quickly used Divine Descent and ran out of the burning flame range. Looking back, he saw the ghost princess Eina standing in the raging flames. The black fire illuminated her pale face as she murmured a series of obscure incantations.
At this moment, she looked like a towering demon standing in the hellish flames.
Nie Yan’s heart shuddered. This woman was going to release a forbidden spell! Nie Yan could hardly imagine the consequences if a forbidden spell from a level 180 demonized lord were to strike Okolen City.
The Okolen City he had painstakingly built would become a wasteland forever!
No, he must stop her! Nie Yan’s gaze was more determined than ever.
