Chapter 768: The Way of the King

“It’s said that the Heaven of Magic Riders is a paradise for shamans. Most of the good ones have been recruited by them. Among the top twenty shamans, thirteen are concentrated in their guild. However, their overall strength is nothing to be afraid of,” commented Qi Zai, the leading big brother. Among the thirteen shamans of the Heaven of Magic Riders, only one had transformed into an ultimate class, nothing to fear. “As for the Asura Hell, they have many warriors, but currently, they don’t have even one ultimate class.”

“Try not to make enemies of the Heaven of Magic Riders and the Asura Hell,” Nie Yan said after a moment of silence. The Asura Hell, the Heaven of Magic Riders, and the Bull Men Tribe had no enmity between them; it was better not to create enemies unnecessarily.

Nie Yan and twenty others appeared atop nearby buildings, standing proudly and watching the battle below.

When Nie Yan appeared, the central boss, Princess Eina the Wandering Soul, became increasingly frenzied. Dozens of tentacles sent players flying, advancing toward Nie Yan.

Among the players on the battlefield, someone finally noticed Nie Yan and the others standing atop the buildings.

“Who are they?”

“It’s Kuang Zei Nie Yan!”

“All twenty-one ultimate class players from the Bull Men Tribe have arrived!”

The news spread rapidly like wildfire, causing a stir among everyone in the square. Nie Yan’s arrival caused a significant impact on the players present, especially the members of the Angel Empire, who immediately panicked, losing their composure.

“Boss, it’s Kuang Zei Nie Yan!” a troll warrior looked toward Xie Qi Lin Ran, the leader of the Heaven of Magic Riders standing on a rooftop, saying nervously.

Xie Qi Lin Ran looked toward Nie Yan and his companions. Nie Yan and his team stood high above, overlooking the battlefield like supreme rulers. He understood that Nie Yan’s group had enough power to wipe out everyone present. As an ultimate class player himself, he knew exactly how powerful an ultimate class could be. Twenty-one ultimate class players were an entirely different concept. A single forbidden spell could reduce this place to ruins.

There was no way to avoid it now. Xie Qi Lin Ran leapt toward Nie Yan’s direction.

Looking toward another direction, Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao of the Asura Hell also leapt forward.

Although there was some tension between the Heaven of Magic Riders and the Asura Hell, due to the pressure from the Angel Empire, they had generally been restrained and hadn’t had any major conflicts.

Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao exchanged glances, both showing helpless smiles.

They quickly approached to about a hundred yards from Nie Yan and stopped.

“Boss, Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao are coming,” Bu Si De Huai Dan reminded beside him.

Nie Yan noticed Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao. At a hundred yards away, the view was still quite clear.

“Didn’t expect Boss Nie Yan to come here. My apologies,” Xie Qi Lin Ran saluted.

Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao also greeted.

Their tones were very humble. All their team members’ lives were in Nie Yan’s hands. How could they not be careful? The Bull Men Tribe was a powerful force, while the Heaven of Magic Riders and the Asura Hell, although considered dominant forces themselves, were on a completely different level compared to the Bull Men Tribe. If the Bull Men Tribe launched a full-scale attack, it wouldn’t take more than a few days to wipe them out. Therefore, when facing Nie Yan, they both had a sense of inferiority.

“You’re welcome,” Nie Yan slightly nodded.

Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao didn’t mind Nie Yan’s somewhat aloof attitude. Even if Nie Yan was impolite, he had the capital to be.

“Is Boss Nie Yan interested in Princess Eina the Wandering Soul? If Boss Nie Yan is interested, our Heaven of Magic Riders will withdraw within three minutes,” Xie Qi Lin Ran stated his position.

“We of the Asura Hell have the same sentiment. Please, Boss Nie Yan, show us mercy,” Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao saluted.

Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao were both powerful figures, but they were pragmatic enough to understand that offending the Bull Men Tribe was something they couldn’t afford. They were quite yielding in their approach.

The Bull Men Tribe had swept across the Granland Empire and recently brought the war to the Clemency Fortress, making Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao fearful. If the Angel Empire, the dominant force in the Sater Empire, couldn’t stand against the Bull Men Tribe, they certainly couldn’t.

Currently, the Bull Men Tribe’s target was the Angel Empire. For the Bull Men Tribe, creating enemies everywhere would be disadvantageous.

“We are indeed interested in Princess Eina the Wandering Soul. If she drops equipment, I will only choose one piece. The rest will be distributed between your two guilds,” Nie Yan said.

Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with unexpected joy. They hadn’t expected such a turn of events. A mutated boss like Princess Eina the Wandering Soul wouldn’t likely drop just one piece of equipment; there would certainly be various gems and other items. They had originally thought that Nie Yan’s arrival meant they wouldn’t even get a share. Now, at least they could get a portion, which was quite good.

“Then we thank Boss Nie Yan in advance.”

Nie Yan signaled to Lei Su, who stepped forward and shouted loudly, “Everyone here who isn’t from the Asura Hell or the Heaven of Magic Riders must leave within three minutes. All members of the Angel Empire will be killed without mercy!”

Lei Su’s voice was deep and powerful, echoing over the square, instilling fear in everyone.

After speaking, Lei Su, Shui Se Yan Tou, Cui Lan Dao Guang, and others leapt down and charged toward the Angel Empire players. Sun, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, Ying Sha, Xiao Rong Bu Shi Wei Wo, and others entered stealth mode and disappeared one by one. Tang Yao, Bu Si De Huai Dan, and others waved their staffs, using flash spells to move far away instantly.

Upon hearing Lei Su’s announcement, Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao exchanged glances.

“Asura, we’ve been double-crossed by Kuang Zei Nie Yan.”

“I feel the same. With their declaration, it’s hard for the Angel Empire not to suspect our relationship with the Bull Men Tribe.”

Indeed, there was no such thing as a free lunch. If they had known they would be backstabbed, they would have preferred not to accept anything. However, it was too late to regret now.

As they looked down at the square, their eyes widened. The Angel Empire’s formation had already fallen into chaos.

Lei Su, Shui Se Yan Tou, Cui Lan Dao Guang, and others were like sharp knives cutting into the Angel Empire players. Dense magical attacks fell upon them, yet they couldn’t stop their charging speed.

“Brats of the Angel Empire, your uncle Lei Su is here!” Lei Su roared, his protective aura bursting forth. With a loud thud, a group of warriors was knocked flying.

He charged into a group of mages and executed a super whirlwind slash, instantly sweeping down more than a dozen mages.

At this time, around Cui Lan Dao Guang, Shui Se Yan Tou, and others, there were already many corpses lying on the ground.

Many Angel Empire players died mysteriously, not even knowing how they died or who their opponent was.

After Tang Yao and others flashed over, they immediately used area attack spells, harvesting lives much faster than Lei Su and his companions.

The Angel Empire players were in chaos, unable to organize effective attacks, running around aimlessly. Several captains tried to command their subordinates, but had barely spoken a few words before being instantly killed by Sun and others who had stealthed up to them. The Angel Empire was in complete disarray, with players frantically fleeing outside.

These ultimate class players were like highly efficient killing machines.

At this moment, standing on the rooftop, Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao watched in horror, cold sweat breaking out on the back of their heads. If they had opposed the Bull Men Tribe, their situation would certainly not have been better than the Angel Empire’s, perhaps even worse. They would be the first to be killed, and their subordinates below would naturally become targets for harvesting.

Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao looked toward Nie Yan on a nearby rooftop, who was leaning casually against the wall, showing no expression.

Although Nie Yan’s expression revealed nothing, Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao felt a strong pressure. What was called the art of command and the path of a king? Nie Yan’s promise to take only one piece of equipment was a gesture of favor toward them. Having Lei Su make the announcement forced them to the opposing side of the Angel Empire, eliminating any possibility of cooperation with them. Now, by slaughtering the Angel Empire’s players in front of them, it was a demonstration of power and a warning. Step by step, Nie Yan’s actions were flawless, leaving them no choice but to obey obediently, without any other thoughts.

Kuang Zei Nie Yan’s ability to lead the Bull Men Tribe to sweep across the Granland Empire was not without reason.

As fellow leaders, Xie Qi Lin Ran and Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao couldn’t help but express their admiration.

“Kuang Zei Nie Yan is not simple, Asura. We have no choice but to admit defeat,” Xie Qi Lin Ran said with a bitter smile.

“Don’t rush, Asura Hell and Heaven of Magic Riders still stand. We have a lot of income coming in. When the situation forces us and if the Angel Empire can’t withstand the Bull Men Tribe, we can submit then,” Hong Lian Xiu Luo Dao said.

“Thinking the same as me,” Xie Qi Lin Ran laughed heartily.

Seeing the Angel Empire being wiped out, other players not part of the Asura Hell or the Heaven of Magic Riders quickly withdrew. Nie Yan had already issued a notice to them, telling them to leave within three minutes. If even the Angel Empire couldn’t resist, what could they accomplish? They could only obediently leave.

After nearly ten minutes, the Angel Empire members were either dead or scattered, no longer a threat to Nie Yan and his group. Nie Yan leapt down, his figure flashing as he rushed toward Princess Eina the Wandering Soul.

As if sensing Nie Yan’s approach, Princess Eina the Wandering Soul suddenly went into a frenzy. Dozens of tentacles wildly slammed the ground, sending rocks flying.

“Dao Guang, it’s up to you,” Qi Zai, the leading big brother, said in the team chat.

“Coming,” Cui Lan Dao Guang charged forward toward Princess Eina the Wandering Soul, roaring, “Heavy Shield Strike!”

With a loud thud, Princess Eina the Wandering Soul staggered back several steps.

The sound of the heavy shield strike echoed in the air, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble. What a powerful shield strike!
