Chapter 822 - An Ant Trying to Topple an Oak (1/2)

Phantom Princess Ina was barrelling forward. The players up ahead frantically tried to get out of the way.

The road ahead of him was blocked by a human wall. Nie Yan was just about to soar over the crowd with Leap, when more than 20 people suddenly appeared in front of him.

These 20 players weren’t running away like everyone else. Rather, they moved in to surround Nie Yan.

Ursine Transformation!

Three druids transformed into large bears and charged at Nie Yan.

Tempest Rage!

Umbra Arrow!

The Shamans and Druids unleashed their magic.

Three elven Thieves entered stealth and stalked around Nie Yan, ready to strike when the moment presented itself.

They moved like an experienced and skilled team of experts.

Some distance away, Xie Yao and several of the other Masters noticed Nie Yan getting surrounded by 20 players. They immediately sensed something wrong.

「Boss, watch out!」

「Nie Yan!」

…

Nie Yan was in danger! With Phantom Princess Ina chasing him from behind, he had little to no time to react to anything else. Everyone who saw his predicament broke out in a cold sweat on his behalf.

Not just Xie Yao, Undying Scoundrel, and others, also those watching the livestream online felt their breath stagnate.

…

Clemenci Stronghold, Angel Corps’ guild headquarters. Soaring Angel and Cao Xu were watching the live feed from the comfort of their seats.

Seeing 20 players ambushing Nie Yan out of nowhere, Soaring Angel couldn’t help but glance over at Cao Xu.

“I’m impressed, Brother Cao,” Soaring Angel said. His people were still rushing over to Okoron, while the Century Financial Group had already taken action.

Cao Xu chuckled.

Soaring Angel’s tone suddenly changed. “If it were me in that situation, I would be dead without a doubt. But our opponent is Nirvana Flame.”

Cao Xu furrowed his eyebrows. Nie Yan was indeed a tough nut to crack. More than a few instances came to mind where they thought he was dead for sure, only for him to make it out alive.

...

Phantom Princess Ina slammed down with one of her tentacles.

Nie Yan leaped out of the way. BOOOM! Phantom Princess Ina’s tentacle struck the ground beside him. The stone brick streets were crushed into rubble.

Just when Nie Yan was planning to use the Illusion Steps to attract Phantom Princess Ina’s attention, dozens of spells came raining towards him. He also felt the ground beneath him go soft. Quagmire! His stats dropped slightly. The enemy had cursed him too! Luckily, the Tyrant Abak Set offered high magic resistance, so these curses had minimal effect.

Nie Yan twisted his body as the spells whizzed right past him, mere inches from striking him.

Nie Yan immediately locked his gaze onto the perpetrators. They were definitely sent by Angel Corps or the Century Financial Group!

Fools! Nie Yan inwardly snickered. He suddenly erupted with killing intent as a profound light blossomed from his eyes. Eye of Truth!

Three Thieves appeared in Nie Yan’s vision.

The three bear form Druids came charging forward. Nie Yan leaped into the air and soared over them. After landing back on the ground, he shot forward like a spring and pounced on one of the Warriors.

“Stop him!”

“Don’t let him get away!”

The Mages and Shamans released a barrage of magic.

Death Immune!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Nie Yan was struck by eight spells, as a string of damage values ranging between 30–40 floated up above his head. Thanks to Death Immune, the additional effects of these spells were blocked.

Seeing Nie Yan closing in on him, the Warrior brandished his greatsword. Letting out a low shout, his muscles suddenly swelled in size.

A berserk skill!
