Seeing a thief rushing toward Wudao, Nieyan suddenly appeared beside the thief and launched a slash, causing -721 and -100 damage…
The thief fell with a single strike. If Nieyan could deal such high damage to a shielded warrior, how much easier would it be against a fragile rogue wearing leather armor!
The remaining six thieves all lunged at Nieyan.
They came so fast, Nieyan thought.
At this moment, Wudao also interrupted his teleportation and stopped.
“Why did you interrupt your teleportation? Just get out of here!” Nieyan frowned slightly, scolding him. Obviously, the enemy had come prepared. He could cover Wudao’s escape while teleporting away himself using a random teleportation scroll.
“Abandon the leader and run off by myself? Who would respect me then?” Wudao smiled and, raising his dagger, charged toward the thieves.
On the other side, in Karol City, the Expert-level Mud Swamp was almost monopolized by the Bull Man Tribe. Random teleportation scrolls were rare, and the Bull Man Tribe generally kept quiet about possessing such items. Players at Wudao’s level had no idea that Nieyan had a random teleportation scroll. For confidentiality, Nieyan wouldn’t mention it either.
Unaware of the situation, Wudao immediately interrupted his teleportation upon seeing Nieyan attacked by thieves.
“Let me cover you, you go first,” Wudao said earnestly. Nieyan was crucial to the Bull Man Tribe. If Nieyan were killed, it would be a heavy blow to the entire tribe. But Wudao himself was just an ordinary member, barely considered mid-tier in the Bull Man Tribe. Even if he died, no one would pay attention. In a fortress battle or guild war, his death would barely register as a fraction of a percentage.
Small people have their own dignity; they have their own principles!
Though they may not be as famous as Nieyan, they are not inferior!
Because of loyalty and righteousness!
Though he admired Nieyan, his loyalty was not to Nieyan personally, but to the Bull Man Tribe, because in the Bull Man Tribe, he had countless brothers.
Suddenly, Nieyan felt a strange sensation in his heart, as though something had bound his heart. He looked into the distance, where a shadow priest wearing a black robe revealed a sinister smile from atop a distant hill.
He had finally successfully cast this spell on Nieyan. The seven thieves had drawn Nieyan’s and Wudao’s attention while he hid in a corner, secretly chanting the spell. After two rounds of effort, he finally succeeded!
Dark Magic—War Chain!
Among all spells, this skill was definitely a great tool for ambushing enemies. After casting War Chain on the target, neither of the two could use any teleportation items until one of them died, at which point the War Chain would be lifted!
Nieyan could still move, but teleportation items such as the random teleportation scroll and recall scroll could no longer be used.
After the shadow priest successfully cast War Chain, a large number of members from the Bloodthirsty Blade clan appeared from all directions, surrounding Nieyan completely.
Unexpectedly, the Bloodthirsty Blade had someone capable of using the War Chain skill. This time, they had miscalculated!
In Faith, skills were always so unpredictable. Even a battle that seemed certain to win could be overturned, let alone a premeditated ambush!
Under the combined attacks of the six thieves, Wudao was frequently in danger. Nieyan slashed at one of the thieves again, instantly killing him.
The remaining five thieves, seeing Nieyan approaching, retreated far away, their hearts filled with dread.
What a powerful attack!
Nieyan calmly looked at Wudao and said, “Looks like I can’t escape now. Take this random teleportation scroll and get out.”
“Random teleportation scroll? Nieyan, if I take your scroll and run away, my brothers would look down on me!” Wudao replied solemnly. A man lives by his principles and righteousness.
Nieyan thought for a moment and decided not to force Wudao to leave. He looked toward the large group of Bloodthirsty Blade players approaching from the distance. There were so many of them that they could easily overwhelm Nieyan through sheer numbers.
“Nieyan, do me a favor and let me die before you. At least I can brag to my brothers that I was killed protecting our leader by these bastards,” Wudao said, looking at Nieyan.
“I’ll grant you that favor,” Nieyan said, facing the thousands of Bloodthirsty Blade players ahead with a proud smile. “I joined Faith a week after the servers opened. Starting from nothing, I built myself up to become the leader of the Bull Man Tribe. I’ve never been killed before. If the Bloodthirsty Blade wants to kill me so badly that they sent thousands to hunt me down, dying here probably won’t hurt my reputation too much, right?”
“Yeah, it won’t hurt your reputation at all!” Wudao nodded seriously, his nose slightly tingling.
Nieyan, a hero of his generation, was unbeatable in a one-on-one duel in the entire world. If he were to die here today, he would still be honored.
“Even if I die here, I will still be the leader of the Bull Man Tribe, and I will never disgrace the Bull Man Tribe’s reputation! Today, I must take down enough of them to make it worth it!” Nieyan declared. Despite this unexpected situation, he would never just wait passively for death.
“I, Wudao, as an honored member of the Bull Man Tribe’s Rogue Hundred Group, will also never disgrace Nieyan or the Bull Man Tribe’s reputation!” Wudao declared proudly. Following such a leader, even dying would be worth it!
The Bloodthirsty Blade players gradually closed in, surrounding the area completely. Shield warriors with heavy shields were in front, forming a wall of various classes, while mages and priests stood behind, clearly showing their caution.
Even though Nieyan was bound by the War Chain and surrounded by thousands of players, they still feared he might escape.
To have become a rogue to this extent, it was worth it!
Nieyan looked around at the Bloodthirsty Blade players and shouted loudly, “You Bloodthirsty Blade brats, the Rogue King Nieyan is here! If any of you have a problem with me, come forward and speak with the sword in my hand!”
Although the Dragon King Zaenarad was a tyrant, few people knew much about his stories. The Dragon King Zaenarad rose from the wilderness, starting with only ten people, conquering dozens of nearby tribes with bare hands, and then went on to conquer the world. Once surrounded on the Karu Plains, he fought against an army of one hundred thousand soldiers alone for ten days and ten nights without rest.
Holding Zaenarad’s Sword, Nieyan suddenly felt a surge of courage, as if he were ready to fight against all the heroes of the world.
Standing tall with his sword, who dares to challenge him!
Nieyan glanced at his skill bar. Few skills remained available, such as Divine Judgment and Divine Favor. Although he didn’t have many skills left, he could still take down a few enemies.
As for charging in recklessly and risking his gear, Nieyan had no intention of doing so. If he were a free player, he might not care, but as the leader of the Bull Man Tribe, he absolutely could not do anything so disgraceful!
Despite being surrounded, Nieyan’s momentum still sent a tremor through the Bloodthirsty Blade players. Although they were on opposing sides, it did not affect the respect these Bloodthirsty Blade players had for Nieyan.
From the crowd in the distance, Fengyanxin looked at Nieyan in the center, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration. No wonder the Bull Man Tribe players revered Nieyan so much! At this moment, even if Nieyan were to die, it would be a glorious and heroic death!
“Everyone, stop!” Fengyanxin commanded in the guild area chat. Everyone halted, looking toward Fengyanxin, waiting for his orders.
Within the Bloodthirsty Blade, Fengyanxin was undoubtedly one of the most influential figures, and even the leaders of the Bloodthirsty Blade treated him with respect.
Nieyan looked at Fengyanxin among the Bloodthirsty Blade players. Their eyes met.
Nieyan was very surprised. Why had the group suddenly stopped? He looked at the mage named Fengyanxin, realizing he must be the one giving the orders!
Fengyanxin looked at Nieyan, who was surrounded but still calm and full of confidence, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect.
“To show respect for the leader of the Bull Man Tribe, the Rogue King Nieyan, Squad 25, move forward! Everyone else, stay in place!” Fengyanxin commanded in the guild area chat. A group of players stepped forward from the formation, about sixty to seventy in total, all ordinary members of the Bloodthirsty Blade, around level forty.
Fengyanxin checked the number of players. There were a total of sixty-two!
“Charge!”
The sixty-two players launched a charge against Nieyan and Wudao. A group of shield warriors accelerated their advance, numbering about twenty to thirty.
Nieyan narrowed his eyes. He hadn’t expected the situation to take such a turn. His impression of Fengyanxin improved significantly. This person wasn’t one of those scheming, backstabbing types commonly found in large guilds.
Principles in life are very important.
“Boss, I’m going first!” Wudao entered stealth and charged toward the group.
In reality, stealth was useless now.
One after another, white light balls flew into the sky, pouring down white light. Under the illumination of the white light, all stealth became useless!
Nieyan activated the Primary Divine Favor, enveloping himself in a life shield. He entered stealth mode and dashed toward one of the mages at full speed.
A group of shield warriors tried to stop Nieyan, but they only saw a flicker as Nieyan dashed through the gap between them, heading straight for the mage at the back.
Nieyan slashed his sword downward, cutting the mage down.
The fierce attack stunned everyone.
Spells flew toward Nieyan, exploding continuously on his body.
Nieyan waved his right hand and slashed again. The flame on Zaenarad’s Sword engulfed another mage, killing him instantly without any suspense!
Under the intense magical bombardment, Nieyan’s holy light shield shattered into pieces.
Nieyan cast Divine Judgment on himself, drank a mid-tier instant recovery potion, and charged toward the priests at the back while enduring the magical attacks. In an instant, the entire enemy formation fell into chaos.
“Boss, I’m going back first,” Wudao said after killing a mage. He was then hit by a fear scream from one of the shadow priests, losing control of his body. Five or six shield warriors surrounded him, delivering heavy shield attacks one after another, sending Wudao flying.
Wudao was killed, leaving Nieyan alone to make a final desperate fight!
