Chapter 147 Tracking

Once the Thieves Guild tracked down Shadow Killer's location, Nie Yan could assassinate him. As for the method, that would depend on the circumstances.

If he succeeded in killing Shadow Killer, he could have him assassinate three people. Nie Yan had already planned it out.

"Shadow Killer went looking for you?" Guo Huai asked. Nie Yan wouldn't have asked him to search for Shadow Killer for no reason. They must have encountered each other again.

"I was almost ambushed," Nie Yan said. The situation just now was truly critical. Fortunately, his death immunity skill was used in time. Otherwise, he would have been finished with even a slight delay.

Hearing Nie Yan's words, Guo Huai's heart sank, and he said resolutely, "This problem with Shadow Killer must be resolved!" He understood that if Nie Yan died, it would be a heavy blow to the morale of the Nirvana Guild. Nie Yan couldn't die, at least not before the Nirvana Guild became stronger. Nie Yan's undefeated myth was very important to the Nirvana Guild, which was why other guilds were sparing no effort in sending people to besiege Nie Yan.

Nie Yan described the bet between him and Shadow Killer in detail. Guo Huai pondered for a long time and said, "That makes it easier. With our network of informants in the major cities, it won't be difficult to track him down. Just leave this matter to me. You also need to be careful. People from various guilds are watching you. I've noticed that the Sword of Divine Judgement seems a little restless!"

Sword of Divine Judgement? Nie Yan did recall such a thing. "Let them be arrogant for a while longer. Let's develop ourselves first."

Nie Yan chatted with Guo Huai for a while, hung up the voice call, and prepared to continue the current task, leading the four Demon Furnace Blacksmiths and the Golden Earth Dragon toward the front of the hall.

In the shadows of the hall corner, Chi Yan and Tian Fa of the Sword of Divine Judgement witnessed the entire process of Nie Yan's fight with Shadow Killer. The exchange between Nie Yan and Shadow Killer was fleeting, the whole process taking only five or six seconds. Both Nie Yan and Shadow Killer were beings beyond their reach. Shadow Killer's extremely fast movements, done in one smooth motion, filled them with admiration. They could never do that. Shadow Killer perfectly interpreted the meaning of an assassin.

In the instant Shadow Killer made his move, they thought to themselves, Nie Yan is finished this time. If Shadow Killer successfully assassinated Nie Yan, then this attack would become a swan song. But unexpectedly, the situation suddenly took a turn, and Nie Yan inexplicably defused the crisis in a unique, seemingly suicidal way.

After the battle ended, they replayed the video over and over again, sorting out the process of the two people's exchange one by one, and their hearts were even more shocked. Shadow Killer's attack was amazing and definitely qualified him to be among the top experts. This was true assassination! But Nie Yan's reaction was above everyone else's, simply monstrous.

Shadow Killer's attack was so fast, yet Nie Yan was still able to react and use death immunity. How the hell did he do that!

Even if they practiced for another ten years, they might not be able to reach Nie Yan's level. The two of them were completely overwhelmed by Nie Yan.

A few minutes later, the video of Nie Yan slaughtering more than thirty thieves and fighting Shadow Killer was uploaded to the forum.

This was a video that left many players almost speechless. The exchange between the two was a pinnacle showdown. Although it was only a brief few seconds, it was viewed and re-watched by countless thieves. This duel can be described as brilliant and unforgettable. The strength of the two people was undoubtedly revealed in these few seconds.

Many thieves replayed the video over and over again, and the more they studied it, the more they marveled at the skills of Nie Yan and Shadow Killer.

The first thing that came to mind for many people who saw this video was, damn, they still didn't kill Crazy Thief Nie Yan! Nie Yan actually survived such a short moment and such a sharp attack. It was unbelievable!

In addition to the battle between the two, the four Demon Furnace Blacksmiths commanded by Nie Yan were also one of the topics discussed by the players.

Nie Yan, manipulating four Demon Furnace Blacksmiths and a Golden Earth Dragon, was truly majestic and invincible. This image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the players, and they also saw Nie Yan's level, seventy-two! The highest on the level榜 (bǎng - list) was Harrier's sixty-nine. It turned out that Nie Yan had already transcended the level榜!

With four summoned creatures and a Golden Earth Dragon helping him level up, no wonder his level increased so quickly.

Nie Yan used his powerful strength to once again confirm his undefeated myth.

Almost all thieves thought of one sentence: Only by advancing to Shadow Dancer would they be qualified to challenge Nie Yan.

The players couldn't help but imagine what a Shadow Dancer was like, and whether they could reach Nie Yan's level.

"Tian Fa, did you upload the video to the forum?" Chi Yan asked suspiciously. If they uploaded such a video to the forum, it would undoubtedly increase the prestige of Crazy Thief Nie Yan, and they would be reprimanded by their guild leader.

"No. If I uploaded the video, it wouldn't be from this angle." Tian Fa looked at the corner in the distance. It seemed that they weren't the only ones here.

Many people were scheming against Nie Yan. Nie Yan was too high-profile when he entered the Golden City.

Just as he finished speaking, Tian Fa sensed something. A thief!

He took a few steps back and stealthily went behind a statue.

The statue was of a Fallen Demon. It was fat, its skin was an abnormal red color, and it wore silver-gray armor. Even the eyebrows and eyes were carved vividly, making it seem lifelike.

Just as Tian Fa retreated, his right elbow suddenly touched a circular groove behind the statue.

At the moment the groove was touched, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the entire hall trembled as if it were about to collapse.

What's going on!

Tian Fa and Chi Yan's expressions changed. They felt a dangerous aura and quickly used their Vanish skills to enhance their stealth.

The shaking subsided. At this time, the statue of the Fallen Demon suddenly moved. It waved its huge chain hammer and smashed it into the shadows in the distance.

There was a shrill scream, and in the dark corner, a thief turned into a white light. The poor thief, because his stealth was too low, became the target of the Fallen Demon's attack.

"It's a Level 90 Elite, let's go!" Chi Yan said nervously. They quickly activated Gale Steps and ran wildly towards the outside of the hall.

The Fallen Demon chased behind them, constantly waving and smashing its chain hammer. The ground groaned in trembling, and the iron hammer smashed out one deep pit after another on the ground. Chi Yan and Tian Fa dared not stop. If they were hit by the iron hammer, they would definitely be killed instantly.

Nie Yan in the distance noticed the movement here. He was very surprised to see a demon statue suddenly come to life. It turned out that the statues in this hall were all living things!

He guessed that a thief had stealthily followed him, and as a result, triggered the mechanism to awaken the statue.

Chi Yan and Tian Fa quickly swept out of the hall. The Fallen Demon lost its target, and it wandered around searching, then focused its gaze on Nie Yan in the distance.

If there was only one Fallen Demon, it would be relatively easy to deal with.

Nie Yan commanded the four Demon Furnace Blacksmiths to pounce on the Fallen Demon.

Four against one, the Fallen Demon's strength far exceeded these Demon Furnace Blacksmiths. It had as much as 90,000 health.

The four Demon Furnace Blacksmiths kept roaring, using the huge iron hammers in their hands to smash the Fallen Demon, and damage values of eight or nine hundred kept floating above the Fallen Demon's head.

After being attacked, the Fallen Demon roared angrily, waving its chain hammer to counterattack. Each attack could cause five or six thousand damage to the Demon Furnace Blacksmiths.

Nie Yan was shocked. The strength of this Fallen Demon could be considered a mutated elite!

Nie Yan cast a Necromantic Sacrifice on the Fallen Demon.

System: Necromantic Sacrifice is ineffective against statue creatures.

This Fallen Demon was actually a statue creature!

Statue creatures were unique to副本 (fùběn - instances). They had no life, and their armor type was powerful city defense armor, which was very difficult to deal with. Ordinary attacks were ineffective against them. Only after the players' strength reached a certain level could they cause attack damage to it.

Fortunately, Nie Yan had four Demon Furnace Blacksmiths and a Golden Earth Dragon to help him. It shouldn't be a problem to kill it. Since he couldn't use Necromantic Sacrifice to command it, he could only kill it as soon as possible!

Nie Yan commanded the Golden Earth Dragon to spew dragon breath. The Golden Earth Dragon's attack damage to the Fallen Demon was quite considerable, reaching as much as two thousand. Dragon breath attacks were more effective against city defense armor.

Nie Yan commanded the Demon Furnace Blacksmiths to use a rotation tactic against the Fallen Demon. When one Demon Furnace Blacksmith's health turned red, he would replace it with another. Finally, with three Demon Furnace Blacksmiths in red health, they killed the Fallen Demon.

The Fallen Demon fell to the ground, dropping a piece of equipment, which seemed to be a robe.

Nie Yan walked towards the Fallen Demon's corpse, preparing to pick up the robe, walking among the rows of hideous statues. The阴气森森 (yīn qì sēn sēn - a cold, eerie atmosphere) and cold wind made people's hearts tremble. The eerie faces of these statues were terrifying. The players could actually trigger the hall's mechanism to revive these statues. It seemed that this hall was far from as simple as Nie Yan had imagined.

Nie Yan carefully recalled the news about the Golden City in his previous life, but he found nothing. In his previous life, he had been to the Golden City several times, but he had only gone to the underground mine a few times with a团 (tuán - group), and he knew nothing about the upper level of the Golden City.

He seemed to have heard that when a guild was exploring the Golden City, they had been wiped out twenty or thirty times, and finally obtained a Tu Jin Dagger, which was a sub-legendary item. The guild searched the Golden City all over, but failed to open the final vault of the Golden City. They couldn't find where the key was. Until Nie Yan was reborn, no player had triggered the task to open the vault of the Golden City. It was an unsolved mystery.
