Chapter 227: Deadly Intent!

The feud between Shuise Yantou and Haotian dates back to the time when they started their studio. At that time, several members of the studio wanted to transfer to other studios. Shuise Yantou considered job-hopping perfectly normal; he believed in parting on good terms and maintaining good relations for the future. Haotian, however, thought otherwise. He threatened to break the legs of those members. Eventually, those members still left, and later it was confirmed that they had indeed suffered physical harm.

Because of this incident, Shuise Yantou felt that Haotian was excessively ruthless and unsuitable to associate with. He took his team and left the Bi Luo Cang Qiong studio, establishing the Ku Ye studio independently.

However, the establishment of Ku Ye studio was fraught with difficulties and setbacks. They were frequently harassed and attacked, and one of their members had his leg broken and spent more than three months in the hospital—all of which were done by Bi Luo Cang Qiong.

From then on, Ku Ye and Bi Luo Cang Qiong became bitter enemies. Ku Ye struggled to get off the ground until they received investment from the Tuoba family. Bi Luo Cang Qiong, fearing the Tuoba family’s power, had to back off, but the members of Ku Ye studio ended up signing contracts with the Tuoba family that were practically akin to selling their souls.

It was no easy feat for Shuise Yantou and his team to achieve their current impressive success.

The conflict between Ku Ye and Bi Luo Cang Qiong never ceased. When Ku Ye entered Faith, they didn’t establish a guild immediately, putting them at a disadvantage. After all, Bi Luo Cang Qiong had autonomy, while Ku Ye was subordinate to the Tuoba family.

Thinking of the member with the broken leg, Shuise Yantou was filled with rage, like a ferocious beast eager to tear Haotian to pieces.

“You dogs of the Tuoba family, today I will make sure you die here. It must be quite upsetting for you if your War Deity’s Faith gets exposed,” Haotian sneered.

“Today, I will settle this debt with blood,” Shuise Yantou gritted his teeth, gripping his greatsword tightly. He calculated calmly the distance and time needed to reach Haotian and kill him, only to realize dejectedly that unless Haotian stood still, it was impossible.

“You should think about how to explain yourself to the Tuoba family. If they find out your War Deity’s Faith has been exposed, they might throw you out of the family. Then you’ll really be homeless dogs.”

“Langfeng, Mu’en, cover me!” Shuise Yantou commanded grimly. He was determined to kill Haotian!

“Chief, don’t be impulsive. Someone said in the group chat that the Bullman Tribe is on their way,” Langfeng, holding his sword, pressed down on Shuise Yantou’s greatsword.

The Bullman Tribe? What were they doing here? Shuise Yantou furrowed his brow. In his opinion, as the leader of the Bullman Tribe, there was no need for them to take action on behalf of Ku Ye, considering their merely cooperative relationship, which was only set to last a month. Ku Ye had joined the Bullman Tribe mainly for the Prince title from the Assassin Alliance and to assess the Bullman Tribe’s strength.

Was it worth it for the Bullman Tribe to provoke an enemy like Bi Luo Cang Qiong for such a partner? Probably not, or rather, definitely not!

Yet Shuise Yantou hadn’t expected Nie Yan to come, bringing the entire Bullman Tribe with him, despite the risk of angering Bi Luo Cang Qiong. A mixture of emotions surged within him. Some of his team members sent him messages quoting some of the Bullman Tribe members’ bold words and Nie Yan’s two sentences in the guild chat.

Shuise Yantou was deeply moved, realizing that the Bullman Tribe truly regarded Ku Ye as their brothers, willing to risk everything to save them!

“You didn’t treat them as friends, yet they treated you as brothers. How shameful!”

Shuise Yantou shouted in the team chat to the remaining members, “Everyone, form a defensive formation! The Bullman Tribe’s brothers are here! They’ve only been in our guild for a few days, yet they’re willing to confront Bi Luo Cang Qiong to save us! From now on, every member of the Bullman Tribe is our brother. We will never fight against them again! If I break this oath, may heaven and earth strike me down!”

The members of Ku Ye responded with a resounding agreement.

The remaining 300+ players formed a circular defensive formation, preparing to withstand Bi Luo Cang Qiong’s attacks.

More and more players from Bi Luo Cang Qiong gathered around the perimeter, their magic spells raining down and taking out Ku Ye members one by one.

“Chief, the Bullman Tribe has arrived. There are at least ten thousand of them!” a player whispered to Haotian.

Haotian’s expression changed. Wasn’t Ku Ye’s relationship with the Bullman Tribe merely an employment one? Why were they willing to stand up for Ku Ye? Could the previous intelligence be wrong?

The Tuoba family had already declared that Ku Ye’s joining the Bullman Tribe was purely a cooperative relationship, and Ku Ye would not participate in any guild wars!

Haotian glanced at Shuise Yantou and the others in the center. They had formed a solid defensive formation and could probably hold out for some time.

If he waited a little longer, the Bullman Tribe would arrive, making it hard to kill Shuise Yantou in the future.

Haotian made a decision and shouted to the elite members of Bi Luo Cang Qiong around him, “Everyone, follow me and charge in! Wipe out Ku Ye!”

As soon as his words fell, a violent magical fluctuation erupted from the distance. A cluster of scorching red clouds gathered in the sky, followed by a torrent of blazing fire raining down among the Bi Luo Cang Qiong players.

-207, -230…

Although it wasn’t a high-level spell, the damage was still shocking. In no time, the area in front was cleared, leaving a wide open space.

A group of Bullman Tribe players surged from various directions, several warriors clad in full golden sets charging out from the dense forest.

“Kill!” The Bullman Tribe players roared deafeningly, led by Cui Can Dao Guang, who charged into the mage cluster, enduring attacks from hundreds of mages. His health dropped slowly, and a beam of white light restored it.

All the mages were stunned. Where had such an incredibly strong tank warrior come from?

Cui Can Dao Guang drew the attention of many mages, while a group of warriors charged behind him, sweeping away a large number of enemies in an instant.

Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan, Xia Chong Yu Bing, Wu Dong Qi Ji, and others launched fireballs from their hands, exploding on the warriors of Bi Luo Cang Qiong with a series of “pom-pom-pom” sounds. Their extremely high magical damage sent these warriors flying, only to crash heavily to the ground.

Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan casually wiped his nose with his thumb and said, “How could such an exciting scene exclude us?”

These elite members of the Bullman Tribe began a one-sided slaughter of Bi Luo Cang Qiong, killing their players in droves without any resistance. In terms of awareness and coordination, they were completely outmatched by these elite members of the Bullman Tribe, who fought like fierce tigers!

“You’re really not considerate enough. With such an exciting scene here, how come you didn’t invite us Bullman Tribe brothers?” Nie Yan appeared like a ghost beside Shuise Yantou, smirking slightly.

Haotian, who was about to charge forward, felt a chill in his heart. How had this rogue managed to get through? The outer area was still in fierce battle, surrounded by so many Bi Luo Cang Qiong players, yet Nie Yan had appeared here, which was shocking.

This figure was Kuang Zei Nie Yan!

All the players from Bi Luo Cang Qiong felt a heavy blow to their hearts, their faces turning pale.

The name Kuang Zei Nie Yan was most famously associated with that strike in the Magma Forest.

Nie Yan was a huge threat to everyone on the battlefield. As long as he struck, no one could escape death. That was the most terrifying part!

Nie Yan had heard a little about the conflict between Bi Luo Cang Qiong and Ku Ye in his previous life, though he didn’t know the details. However, he could easily distinguish right and wrong between Shuise Yantou and Haotian.

Shuise Yantou and the others never expected Nie Yan to suddenly appear here. It was truly unexpected.

Hearing Nie Yan’s teasing words, Shuise Yantou smiled apologetically and said, “This time, it’s my fault. When we return, I will apologize to the Bullman Tribe brothers!”

“Brothers,” what a warm and touching word! Shuise Yantou couldn’t help but think.

“Things have escalated today. It seems that the Triumph Empire, the Light Holy Flame, and the Holy Roman Empire have all arrived. I wonder which other guilds will join. This is no longer just a matter between your Ku Ye and Bi Luo Cang Qiong,” Nie Yan glanced at Haotian, who was clad in silver-white armor in the crowd, and smiled slightly, “That’s Haotian?”

“That’s right, that’s him,” Shuise Yantou nodded, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

Nie Yan looked at Shuise Yantou’s gear. It hadn’t been many days since they last met, but this guy’s equipment had become even more impressive. He now had a full set of War Deity’s Faith, wielding two-handed greatswords in each hand, truly displaying unmatched bravery.

“How much time is left on your Berserker Power?” Nie Yan asked.

“About a minute,” Shuise Yantou was a bit puzzled. Why would Nie Yan suddenly ask such a question?

“That Haotian seems pretty arrogant. Want to team up and take him down? He’s standing there being annoying,” Nie Yan played with his dagger casually, speaking in a nonchalant tone.

The members of Ku Ye were stunned. With so many people around Haotian, only Nie Yan would dare to make such a bold claim.

“Do you have a plan?” Shuise Yantou’s heart stirred as he looked at Nie Yan.

Could Kuang Zei Nie Yan create another myth again?

Nie Yan shrugged helplessly and smiled, “Not really. We rogues have weak attacks. Against a paladin, it’s like just scratching. I can’t take him down alone!”

Shuise Yantou immediately understood Nie Yan’s meaning. Nie Yan wanted to rely on his attack!

The most powerful attack here was undoubtedly Shuise Yantou with his Berserker Power activated!

“If you help me kill him, from this day forward, you Nie Yan will be my brother!” Shuise Yantou said solemnly.

“So you haven’t considered me your brother yet, while I was just being affectionate for no reason.”

Shuise Yantou knew Nie Yan was joking and chuckled awkwardly. At that moment, Nie Yan’s figure suddenly vanished into stealth. Nie Yan had made his move! Shuise Yantou tightened his grip on his greatsword, his eyes blazing with killing intent!
