Chapter 300: Benevolence and Love

The Sword of Zennarde, invincible and incomparably sharp!

Even at level 50 or 60, this sword would still be a rare treasure, let alone now.

That priest had even cast a shield on himself, yet he was instantly killed? Everyone nearby felt a chill run down their spines.

In an instant, everyone’s morale was completely shattered by Nie Yan’s single strike!

Nie Yan, like a killer from hell, immediately chased after another priest. The priest attempted to flee, but unfortunately, his speed was no match for Nie Yan, who had activated Storm Rush. In just a moment, Nie Yan closed the distance and killed him with one strike—without any suspense at all!

Just like slaughtering pigs or dogs!

At this moment, Nie Yan, with unmatched speed and overwhelming attack power, was like a godlike figure.

At this moment, the group of mages had already dispersed. Two melee fighters—a Berserker Swordsman and a Shield Warrior—charged toward Nie Yan, trying to halt his advance. Yet, in the blink of an eye, Nie Yan had vanished from sight.

Nie Yan lunged toward Fengyanxin, swung the Sword of Zennarde downward, slicing Fengyanxin in half. However, Fengyanxin’s body twisted like an illusion in the air and then vanished.

It was an illusionary teleportation!

Nie Yan glanced into the distance and saw Fengyanxin already fifty yards away.

The two locked eyes, and Fengyanxin gave Nie Yan a faint smile. He remained calm as ever, seemingly indifferent to the battle, and suddenly disappeared, using an unknown skill or perhaps a potion of invisibility.

In this situation, Fengyanxin knew he couldn’t win and decided to temporarily retreat and avoid direct confrontation.

After all, skills like Spell Immunity are not commonly used—they are high-level skills with cooldowns lasting two or three days. If he could just endure until Nie Yan’s skills expired, Nie Yan’s power would drop significantly.

In fact, not only Spell Immunity, but Nie Yan’s Storm Rush, Shadow Slaughter, and Divine Blessing were all high-level state skills. While active, he was incredibly powerful. Once they expired, his strength would naturally diminish greatly.

But for now, Nie Yan, at full capacity, was invincible. He could freely hunt down these people.

With the Sword of Zennarde in hand, Nie Yan was like an invincible grim reaper, slaying gods and Buddhas alike!

The remaining shield warrior picked up the two Pages of Order that Canse had dropped. As soon as he straightened up, Nie Yan suddenly appeared behind him, delivering a backstab and a critical strike that killed him instantly.

The two Pages of Order fell back to the ground. From where you picked them up, leave them there.

Nie Yan fixed his eyes on the nearby berserker swordsman. Terrified by Nie Yan’s piercing stare, the swordsman hastily fled, utilizing the speed boost from his Bear’s Rage state. At this moment, anyone who dared to challenge Nie Yan was practically courting death!

They couldn’t even imagine where Nie Yan had obtained so many powerful state skills!

In the blink of an eye, thirteen people had been reduced to six survivors, with seven already slain by his blade.

On the other side, You Ran was thoroughly annoyed by Wudao, who clung to him like chewing gum. You Ran had brought Wudao down to low health several times, but the rogue would disappear, recover, and then reappear to chase him again relentlessly.

After exhausting all his high-level skills, You Ran fled outward, but Wudao pursued him like a relentless parasite, tracking him closely.

“Damn it,” You Ran muttered as he saw his teammates being killed one by one in the party chat. He could no longer maintain his calm demeanor. His gaze swept around and caught sight of Nie Yan in the distance, causing a sudden jolt of fear in his heart.

His heart tightened, and for a moment, he lost focus. At that exact moment, a chill ran through the back of his head as Wudao appeared right behind him.

“Shit!” He turned around to attack, but his staff was only halfway through the motion when Wudao’s dagger, swift and precise like a serpent, came chasing after him, delivering a heavy blow to the back of his head.

The dagger was fast and brutal; You Ran had no time to dodge at all.

Wudao landed several normal attacks, circled around to the front of You Ran, and stunned him again just as he was about to recover consciousness. With his dagger, he performed a Disembowel and a Rupture, laying the mage You Ran flat on the ground.

As You Ran fell, he heard two words in his ears: “Trash!”

Wudao vented all his anger. From the previous battle, he had gained a lot of insight and a strong desire arose within him—he must become stronger, or he would forever remain under others’ feet!

Red River Fortress.

This fortress, located in the Red River Valley, had a strategically advantageous location that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was the headquarters of the guild Blade of Bloodthirsty, as well as the most prosperous fortress in Radiant City. Players constantly came and went here, making it a goldmine for merchants.

The headquarters of Blade of Bloodthirsty had long been relocated from the city of Radiant City to this location.

In the center of Red River Fortress stood a magnificent building, inside which was a spacious meeting hall decorated with luxurious ornaments.

The five major guilds in Karol City were locked in endless conflicts, while the beneficiaries reaped the rewards—Blade of Bloodthirsty, Mage Alliance, and Sacred Guardians. These three guilds rapidly developed and quickly left the other guilds in Karol City far behind. However, they were somewhat concerned—if Karol City were ever unified, it would pose a great threat to them, as Karol City had a much larger population base than Radiant City. Once it developed, it would be unimaginable.

Blade of Bloodthirsty, Mage Alliance, and Sacred Guardians were all closely monitoring the situation in Karol City.

Inside the hall, Xuexi Kuangdao, clad in golden armor, was watching a video. He was a middle-aged man of about forty years old, tall and imposing, with a solemn expression and solid armor, giving off an aura of authority.

“Boss Xuexi Kuangdao, Fengyanxin and the others have retreated. That guy called Nieyan is just too strong,” a player watching the video said. What they had seen in the video was truly shocking. A rogue chasing and slaughtering over a dozen elite members of Blade of Bloodthirsty was a scene they couldn’t even imagine in their dreams.

As he looked at Xuexi Kuangdao, he found the latter’s expression calm and composed, as if he didn’t care about the current situation at all.

“Let Lao Ba and the others move in. That Nieyan has a red name now, so he definitely can’t escape! Pay attention to whether he has random teleport scrolls or similar items. Have Lao Ba use War Shackles to bind him first! Also, keep an eye on the movements of Bull Tribe. If there’s any activity from Bull Tribe, report immediately!” Xuexi Kuangdao said solemnly, his eyes filled with killing intent as he watched Nieyan in the video.

Nieyan was undoubtedly the person who would pose the greatest threat to Blade of Bloodthirsty’s position in the future. Such a potential danger could not be allowed to grow safely.

As soon as the order was given, Blade of Bloodthirsty mobilized. Approximately more than 3,000 players moved toward Nieyan’s location, their sole target being the hunt for Nieyan alone!

Nieyan and Wudao had killed a total of eight people, while the other five had already fled.

Because of Nieyan’s instructions, Wudao did not touch the Pages of Order on the ground.

They needed to leave quickly, as this was Blade of Bloodthirsty’s territory and they couldn’t afford to be too arrogant. Nieyan picked up the Pages of Order. Combined with the ones he already had, he now possessed four chapters. He also picked up several pieces of equipment, effectively looting Canse’s entire set.

“I’ll give you two rogue pieces of equipment,” Nieyan said. These two rogue items were quite decent. Although Wudao’s skills were not top-tier, his talent was good, definitely worth cultivating. Perhaps in the future, he could grow into a top-tier player capable of holding his own.

As for the remaining equipment, Nieyan would deposit them all into the guild warehouse.

Nieyan checked the attributes of the four Pages of Order he had. Only the Page of Peace and the Page of Benevolence were effective for rogues, while the other two were for different classes.

Page of Benevolence: Volume 5, Chapter 3 of the Pages of Order, a legendary item fragment.

Item Description: The bearer of the Page of Benevolence will receive divine inheritance, and your mission is to spread the glory of the gods.

Item Attributes: When attacked by dark magic, the bearer has a certain probability of rendering the attack ineffective. Gains an additional 5 HP per level, +30 endurance, +20 resilience, +30 constitution, +20 movement speed. Attached skill: Basic Divine Grace, grants 60% bonus HP, +30 magic resistance, piercing damage resistance, and a level 6 Holy Shield providing 1500 durability and lasting 60 seconds. Skill cooldown is two natural days. Current cooldown status: 1/2.

Usage Restriction: This item is limited to Lawful Good use.

Note: This item takes effect immediately upon being placed in the backpack.

After reading the attributes of the Page of Benevolence, Nieyan found this chapter to be extremely useful. It could make a player more durable. The level 6 Holy Shield was particularly strong, reducing damage by 60% with 1500 durability.

The Pages of Order were originally a set of items. The more pages one possessed, the higher the chance of triggering hidden effects.

Therefore, it would be beneficial to collect more Pages of Order in the future. As the number of Pages of Order increased, their effects would become stronger. Carrying Pages of Order would significantly aid character attribute growth.

Glancing around, all that remained were a few corpses.

“Let’s go back. It’s too dangerous here. Be careful,” Nieyan said to Wudao. Wudao, not having a red name, could return to town, while Nieyan could return to town anytime without any restrictions.

“Okay,” Wudao nodded, looking into the distance where the corpses still lay quietly.

Nieyan and Wudao walked to a secluded spot and began to activate their Recall Scrolls. The scrolls in their hands lit up with two faint glows.

System: Recall Scroll loading… 5%… 15%… 25%…

Time passed second by second. Suddenly, waves of killing intent locked onto Nieyan and Wudao.

Nieyan sensed someone approaching nearby, and they were coming straight for them! Nieyan forcibly interrupted the Recall Scroll. At that moment, cold light flashed as several daggers flew toward Nieyan and Wudao.

After interrupting the Recall Scroll, Nieyan performed a block, successfully deflecting the incoming daggers.

A crisp metallic sound rang out.

True Sight!

Blood vessels bulged around Nieyan’s eyes as his gaze, filled with bloodshot intensity, radiated a divine light, locking onto the faint silhouettes one by one—one, two, three… seven rogues!
