Chapter 892: Thunderstorm

After enduring so many attacks, Nie Yan’s health only dropped by twenty thousand points. With a few quick movements, he distanced himself from the Angel Empire players.

“Chase him! Don’t let him escape!”

The Angel Empire players swiftly dashed forward, leaping quickly across rooftops nearby, with Angel Wing closely pursuing.

“All Angel Empire players currently in the City of Villainy, listen up! The coordinates of Rogue Nieyan are 285.28.30. Spare no effort and block him at all costs!” Angel Wing shouted in the team chat.

“Understood!” The Angel Empire group chat erupted with responses.

Approximately more than three thousand Angel Empire players were in the City of Villainy. After receiving Angel Wing’s message, they all rushed toward Nie Yan’s location, forming a massive encirclement. It wouldn’t be long before Nie Yan was completely surrounded.

These players were experienced in the City of Villainy, with excellent equipment and formidable combat power. The most troubling part was that many of them carried various life-saving or ambush items.

If surrounded, even Nie Yan would likely have no choice but to fight desperately for survival.

Gu Huai had already learned about the commotion in the City of Villainy. He anxiously asked in the group chat, “Dao Guang, where are you now?”

“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely make it in time!” Cui Can Dao Guang replied, estimating that they were almost there.

More than a thousand elite members of the Bull Player Tribe led by Cui Can Dao Guang had exited a dungeon at the World’s Edge and were heading toward the City of Villainy.

“Also be careful, I heard the Century Financial Group has mobilized more than two thousand people,” Gu Huai reminded cautiously.

“The Century Financial Group is also coming. This will be quite a spectacle,” Cui Can Dao Guang slightly furrowed his brows.

“I’ve already sent Fox and Falan with their teams,” Gu Huai added.

Once a conflict broke out between the two sides, it would undoubtedly become a large-scale battle where both sides would fight fiercely. Numbers would be crucial.

Reinforcements from guilds like the Holy Roman Empire were on their way. The City of Villainy was like a fierce vortex, drawing in all the top elites from both major factions. Eighty percent of the best professional players from the Light Faction were already present.

Nie Yan sprinted through the alleys, glancing upward. More than twenty flying mounts followed persistently behind him. In nearby alleys, Angel Empire players surged forward like a tide.

Nie Yan retreated a short distance and, after chanting a spell, summoned the Golden Earth Dragon. The massive beast blocked the alley like a wall.

Summon Paladin Lefus!

Paladin Lefus stood behind the Golden Earth Dragon, ready to heal it at any moment.

“It’s Rogue Nieyan’s Golden Earth Dragon!”

“Be careful everyone!”

Before their words faded, the Golden Earth Dragon roared, spewing a stream of dragon breath. With a loud explosion, the dragon breath detonated among the group of players, sending more than a dozen flying.

Magical attacks rained down on the Golden Earth Dragon, but it stood firm, growling and sending Angel Empire warriors flying with every swipe.

The Golden Earth Dragon eliminated the threats behind Nie Yan. However, with no obstacles ahead, over a hundred players from the Angel Empire charged forward, bombarding him with a barrage of magical attacks.

Summon Doomguard!

Three towering Doomguards, with black bone wings on their backs, appeared in front of Nie Yan. Swinging their long blades ablaze with black flames, they cleaved through several warriors, sending them flying.

Nie Yan stood in the middle of the alley, protected by large pets on both sides. Despite numerous Angel Empire players, they couldn’t touch him.

The Angel Empire players who charged forward were all repelled by the Golden Earth Dragon and the Doomguards.

“Damn, these pets are too strong. We can’t even get near Rogue Nieyan!”

As the Angel Empire players struggled against Nie Yan, Angel Wing and others caught up.

Seeing the Golden Earth Dragon and the Doomguards, Angel Wing frowned. He was familiar with the Golden Earth Dragon’s combat strength, but he hadn’t expected Rogue Nieyan to acquire several new pets, three in total. Observing the three massive skeletons with huge bone wings and black-flamed blades, Angel Wing’s heart sank, unsure of the Doomguards’ true power.

The Golden Earth Dragon, in a raging state, pushed the Angel Empire players back, killing over thirty elite members. Angel Wing winced at the loss and shot arrows at the Golden Earth Dragon.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The arrows struck the Golden Earth Dragon, and the resulting explosion forced it backward.

Damage numbers of twenty thousand or thirty thousand floated above its head.

Incredible damage!

Nie Yan quickly had Paladin Lefus heal the Golden Earth Dragon.

Three Archmages stood atop a high tower above Nie Yan, forming an equilateral triangle. They chanted spells, likely preparing a powerful magic.

Feeling the intense magical energy above, Nie Yan frowned. Were they attempting a forbidden spell?

If a forbidden spell were unleashed here, not only would he perish, but thousands of Angel Empire players nearby would also be wiped out!

Perhaps Angel Wing was willing to sacrifice thousands of his own players just to kill Nie Yan!

The situation suddenly became critical. He needed to retreat quickly. If the three archmages unleashed a forbidden spell, it would spell disaster. However, players from the Angel Empire blocked his escape routes from both sides, seemingly endless.

Nie Yan couldn’t leave at all!

“Whoever kills Rogue Nieyan will receive a set of sub-legendary gear and an additional bonus of five hundred thousand gold coins!” Angel Wing gritted his teeth and announced in the team chat. He was going all out.

Hearing Angel Wing’s words, the Angel Empire players’ excitement ignited. A sub-legendary gear set plus five hundred thousand gold coins was a massive temptation for anyone!

Under Angel Wing’s relentless arrow barrage, the Golden Earth Dragon was forced backward and could no longer attack. Several warriors clad in golden armor stepped forward.

“Knock it aside!”

Shield Bash!

Shield Bash!

The heavy shields collided with the Golden Earth Dragon, producing deep explosive sounds.

“Hunters, attack Rogue Nieyan!”

Arrows rained down like locusts toward Nie Yan.

Nie Yan used Shadow Dance to dodge some, enduring six or seven. The arrows dealt minimal damage, only one or two thousand points. He drank a high-tier instant healing potion, restoring his health to full.

The Golden Earth Dragon was pinned down by Angel Wing and unable to attack normally. Fortunately, Paladin Lefus continuously healed it, otherwise it would have already collapsed. As for the Doomguards, facing a multitude of players—including many top-tier classes—they were starting to falter. What concerned Nie Yan the most were the three Archmages chanting their spells overhead. He was prepared to activate Divine Arbitration at any moment. If it was confirmed to be an offensive forbidden spell, he would have no choice but to endure it using Divine Arbitration.

Dark clouds gathered above, swirling into a vortex, accompanied by thunder.

The clouds gradually descended, filling the air with a heavy pressure that made breathing difficult.

A circular light barrier formed around, enclosing an area of three hundred yards like a prison, trapping all living beings inside.

Seeing the situation, Nie Yan’s face changed drastically. It was Thunderstorm!

As for this spell, Nie Yan had only seen it in a video from his past life. Thunderstorm was devastatingly powerful. Once unleashed over an area, the bolts of lightning would reduce everything within to ashes. As long as the three Archmages casting the spell remained alive and the formation remained intact, the thunder would continue to strike relentlessly!

It seemed Angel Empire had invested significant effort in dealing with him, even acquiring Thunderstorm.

It was the Thunderstorm skill, and Divine Arbitration’s duration wouldn’t be sufficient!

Nie Yan was thinking about escaping when a white light flashed, and a thick thunderbolt struck down from the sky.

The area was filled with Angel Empire players. Angel Wing was truly ruthless, willing to sacrifice so many to kill him!

Boom! The thunderbolt exploded, sending electric snakes flying. It struck a Doomguard, reducing it to dust, while six Angel Empire players around it were instantly killed by the electric snakes.

The Angel Empire players were thrown into chaos.

Angel Wing sternly declared in the group chat, “All members who fall here today will receive triple compensation! Focus on killing Rogue Nieyan!”

Hearing Angel Wing’s words, the Angel Empire players steadied their resolve. Even if they perished, they wouldn’t suffer losses. Thus, they fought fiercely, fearlessly charging ahead despite the thunderbolts overhead.

As the first thunderbolt finished striking, two more thick thunderbolts fell from the sky.

Fortunately, these two thunderbolts hit Angel Empire players, not Nie Yan. The two thunderbolts exploded among the Angel Empire players, killing at least thirty.

These thunderbolts were randomly falling!

After the two thunderbolts, four more fell, eliminating Paladin Lefus and two Doomguards.

Nie Yan recalled the video from his past life. After Thunderstorm was triggered, the first strike was one thunderbolt, the second was two, the third was four, the fourth would be sixteen, and so on. Soon, the raging storm would destroy everything.

Sixteen thunderbolts fell, one of which headed toward Nie Yan. Nie Yan quickly activated Divine Arbitration.

Boom! The thunderbolt struck Nie Yan, electric snakes flying around.

Thankfully, after activating Divine Arbitration, he was immune to all magical effects!

The duration of Divine Arbitration was limited! Nie Yan looked up. He needed to take out those three Archmages first. Only by eliminating them could Thunderstorm be stopped! At that moment, he suddenly noticed several shadows flickering behind the three Archmages, causing his heart to skip a beat. It was them!
