Chapter 804: The Legend Scroll

Lei Su was hit by a deepened curse from the warlock, which significantly reduced his attributes, and then was controlled by several dark elf thieves before being killed.

The warlock’s curse is also a terrifying skill. Some of their powerful curses can even completely disable a player’s combat ability.

The only classes capable of countering warlock curses are priests and paladins. However, Nie Yan’s team had only two priests and one paladin, who were constantly under harassment and couldn’t protect all the teammates, making casualties inevitable.

“Dao Guang, guard Lei Su and Xia Chong Yubing’s equipment. Don’t let their people steal it,” Nie Yan said in the team chat.

“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, they won’t be able to take anything,” Cui Can Daoguang stood there like a wall, impenetrable by ordinary players.

Although the knights of Blood Demon desperately counterattacked, the situation inevitably tilted in favor of the Bull Player Tribe.

The members of the Bull Player Tribe all possessed exceptional mental resilience, advancing steadily. Each of them could hold their own against three Blood Demon Knights without losing ground, and some could even contend with four or five. Nearly all the fallen comrades had fallen victim to sudden ambushes.

As their casualties exceeded twenty, the Blood Demon Knights’ formation started to crumble.

“Boss, we can’t hold on anymore!” Shen Qiu De Lengfeng frantically said in the team chat.

Blood魔 clenched his fists, seething with frustration. Since the game’s launch, he had led the Blood Demon Knights through countless battlefields without suffering a single defeat. In the past, they had frequently emerged victorious even when outnumbered. Yet now, against these players from the Bull Player Tribe, they found themselves completely powerless.

“We’re not done yet!” Blood Demon swiftly retreated while yelling in the team chat, “Shadow, cover me!”

Seeing Blood Demon’s movement, Heian Yin Ying immediately understood his intent and replied, “Got it!”

Heian Yin Ying suddenly lost sight of Nie Yan and quickly activated his Blood Eyes, locating Nie Yan in an instant. Holding dual swords, he charged toward Nie Yan.

Blood Demon retreated more than ten yards, pulled out a golden-edged scroll from his bag, and began to chant.

Nie Yan noticed Blood Demon reading a scroll and, recognizing it as a high-level one, was immediately alarmed. He rushed toward Blood Demon.

Heian Yin Ying intercepted Nie Yan from the side.

“Chill Wind, Bat, help me stop him!” Heian Yin Ying urgently called out.

Heian Yinying was evidently more aligned with Blood Demon than Nie Yan, and he obstructed Nie Yan’s path, thrusting both daggers straight at him.

Nie Yan switched Ze Enna De’s sword to a reverse grip in his right hand and parried Heian Yin Ying’s attack with a clang. He sidestepped and swept the flaming blade horizontally toward Heian Yin Ying’s neck.

Heian Yin Ying quickly raised both daggers to block.

As Ze Enna De’s sword was about to clash with Heian Yin Ying’s daggers, Nie Yan suddenly performed a high-difficulty spinning maneuver, crouching in front of Heian Yin Ying. He kicked Heian in the abdomen and then pushed off, sending Heian flying with a loud thud.

Nie Yan leapt forward, ready to continue his assault and finish off Heian, when a dark elf thief suddenly lunged at him from the side—Shen Qiu De Lengfeng.

Shen Qiu De Lengfeng’s dagger aimed at Nie Yan’s forehead. Facing Nie Yan, he looked visibly nervous and stiff.

“With skills this weak, you actually managed to advance to Silver Wing? Go home and drink more milk,” Nie Yan’s cold voice sounded like it came from the underworld.

Before Shen Qiu De Lengfeng could react, Nie Yan struck him in the stomach with an elbow, delivering a massive blow. Shen Qiu doubled over in pain, his eyes nearly popping out.

Nie Yan moved alongside Shen Qiu De Lengfeng, and with his right-hand Ze Enna De sword, pierced him through.

Another kill!

Five Blood Demon Knights charged at Nie Yan, but he swiftly cut down three with single sword strikes and kicked the other two away.

At this moment, he was like a grim reaper.

Seeing this, Heian Yin Ying was deeply shaken. They, who were normally mighty Silver Wings, were utterly helpless before Nie Yan. Many of them hadn’t even realized when Nie Yan appeared before being killed or kicked away.

Seeing none of his teammates able to stop Nie Yan, Heian Yin Ying felt immense pressure as he was now the sole barrier between Nie Yan and Blood Demon. He slightly stepped back with his right foot but did not retreat. He was Blood Demon’s last line of defense!

Ten yards apart, Heian Yin Ying could almost hear his own heartbeat.

Suddenly, Nie Yan accelerated and flashed past.

Heian Yin Ying barely had time to react, not even a moment to speak, when he shockingly found Nie Yan already standing in front of him.

At that moment, the world seemed to freeze, with time flowing at an agonizingly slow pace.

Nie Yan threw a straight punch, striking Heian’s heart.

“Blood…” Heian Yinying barely uttered a single syllable before his voice was abruptly silenced in his throat. He likely meant to summon Blood Demon, but Nie Yan left him no opportunity.

Nie Yan’s punch sent Heian flying into the air, but the assault didn’t stop. Nie Yan advanced, delivering an elbow strike, then took a few steps and performed a flying kick.

Triple combo!

Heian Yin Ying’s body flew more than ten yards before crashing heavily to the ground, unable to rise again.

It was an unusual sensation. As he suddenly approached Heian Yin Ying, Nie Yan felt as though he were a master of time, where at sufficient speed, time itself could slow to a crawl.

Nie Yan landed and was about to let Blood Demon experience his newly mastered technique.

Blood Demon uttered the final syllable of his incantation. The golden-edged scroll in his hand vanished. As he used the scroll, swirling black winds formed around him, kicking up dust and sand. Amid the swirling storm, ten black wolves emerged.

“Kuang Zei Nie Yan, die!” Blood Demon swung his greatsword, and the ten wolves lunged at Nie Yan simultaneously.

Seeing the wolves charge, Nie Yan quickly activated Dash Step to evade.

“Kill them all!” Blood Demon commanded coldly. To deal with Kuang Zei Nie Yan, he reluctantly used the only legendary scroll in their team, which they had obtained after grinding monsters. These dark wolves were all level 180 elites, equipped with numerous combat skills. More importantly, they obeyed Blood Demon’s orders without question.

Nie Yan sprinted using Dash Step, dodging the wolves’ attacks while reviving the paladin Lai Fusi and summoning his golden earth dragon.

The golden earth dragon blocked three of the dark wolves.

Watching Nie Yan flee into the distance, Blood Demon abruptly shifted his focus, and the ten black wolves swiftly pounced on the nearby players.

Six dark wolves simultaneously targeted Hei Se Di Yu, surrounding him from all sides. Hei Se Di Yu waved his staff and attempted a blink. Almost as he moved his staff, black vines sprouted within a fifty to sixty-yard radius, swaying in the wind. His blink only moved him five or six yards. As soon as he landed, his feet were entangled by vines. He glanced at his skill bar and found all escape abilities unusable.

“Careful, Hell!”

Seeing the situation, the Bull Player Tribe members engaged by other Blood Demon Knights players cried out in alarm.

Hei Se Di Yu waved his staff, attempting to curse the wolves and reduce their attributes, then tried to control them with mental magic. However, large “MISS” signs floated above the wolves’ heads as his spells failed. He quickly used a Fear Howl, but it had no effect.

Hei Se Di Yu bitterly smiled. These dark wolves were completely immune to dark and mental magic. By the time he considered using holy magic, it was too late. The six dark wolves rushed forward and killed him.

Another death!

“Everyone, be careful! Watch out for those dark wolves! Don’t use dark or mental magic!” Nie Yan urgently warned in the team chat.

Cui Can Daoguang charged forward, using Shield Bash on a dark wolf. All six wolves turned their attention to Cui Can Daoguang.

Cui Can Daoguang led the six wolves, continuously drawing them toward open ground.

They continuously attacked Cui Can Daoguang, biting for a long time, but his health never dropped below half. Each wolf’s attack only dealt three to four hundred damage.

Unable to break through, Blood Demon immediately commanded the dark wolves to assault the other players.

Cui Can Daoguang and others summoned their pets—bears, leopards, and more—which joined the battle.

The dark wolves were extremely deadly. In no time, three more Bull Player Tribe members fell, all killed by the dark wolves. The legendary scroll’s summoned creatures were indeed different. These dark wolves not only had massive, thick hides but also numerous skills.

Blood Demon continuously used the dark wolves to create trouble for the Bull Player Tribe while dodging with Charge.

Nie Yan surveyed the chaotic battlefield, peering through the gaps between the dark wolves in search of Blood Demon. At last, his gaze fixed upon Blood Demon, standing several hundred yards away.

“Didn’t expect you to use the Dark Wolf Summoning Scroll, but this time, let’s see where you run!” Nie Yan entered stealth mode, bypassing nearby dark wolves while accelerating forward, once again feeling the strange sensation he had when defeating Heian Yin Ying.
