Chapter 192 Shadow Killer's Demise

Nie Yan crept towards them, getting closer and closer to Kuang Fa, Ying Sha, and the others, but maintained a distance of more than fifteen yards.

Kuang Fa and Ying Sha had been chatting for over an hour. Nie Yan couldn't wait any longer, so he activated Vanish and slowly approached them, hoping to hear what they were saying. For about fifteen minutes, Kuang Fa and the others were discussing topics related to the Niu Ren Tribe.

"The boss recently issued an order. Since you can't deal with Kuang Zei Nie Yan, you can shift your target and assassinate the elites of the Niu Ren Tribe. For example, Undying Scoundrel, Shi Li Hua Sha, and the like," Kuang Fa's voice drifted over. He was speaking to Ying Sha.

Hearing Kuang Fa's words, Nie Yan revealed a strange expression. He turned his head to look at Ying Sha, wondering how Ying Sha would react. Based on his past life's understanding of Ying Sha, he could sense that Ying Sha was an extremely arrogant and conceited person, who couldn't stand others saying he was incompetent. Kuang Fa's words undoubtedly struck a nerve.

Ying Sha's face was hidden under his cloak, making it impossible to discern his expression.

"Before killing Kuang Zei Nie Yan, I won't waste my time killing the other trash in the Niu Ren Tribe," Ying Sha said, his voice laced with anger.

"You think you can kill Kuang Zei Nie Yan? What was the result of the previous assassination?" Kuang Fa sneered. He was annoyed that Ying Sha had retorted his words. After all, he was the head of a guild, while Ying Sha was just a slightly more skilled mercenary.

"Either I kill Kuang Zei Nie Yan, or I get killed by Kuang Zei Nie Yan. As for the others in the Niu Ren Tribe, they aren't worthy," Ying Sha said stiffly.

"You... are you not even listening to what the boss says?" Kuang Fa said angrily.

"I never listen to anyone, including Cao Xu! Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together," Ying Sha said, turning and walking away.

Looking at Ying Sha's back, Kuang Fa sneered. What an ungrateful fellow!

Ying Sha turned and left the hall.

Watching Ying Sha's departing figure, Nie Yan was lost in thought. It seemed that the relationship between the Century Financial Group, the Mage Alliance, and Ying Sha wasn't harmonious. This gave him an opportunity to poach him. If Ying Sha could accept defeat, Nie Yan could try to recruit him after beating him. Even if he couldn't recruit him, he could try to hire him. If Ying Sha couldn't accept defeat, then according to their bet, Nie Yan would have Ying Sha assassinate three people for him. He would target people like Angel Feather, causing Ying Sha to completely break with the Century Financial Group and Angel Corps. When that happened, even if he didn't attack Ying Sha, Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group would take care of him.

Nie Yan followed Ying Sha from a distance, heading towards the corridor next to the main hall.

Wang Tianxia, Sun, and the others had already arrived. Kuang Fa and Saint Flame could be left to them. With Wang Tianxia and Sun's strength, they shouldn't fail.

His target was Ying Sha!

After leaving the hall, Ying Sha continued down the corridor towards the garden.

"Have you found Kuang Zei Nie Yan's location?" Ying Sha asked in the studio's group chat.

"Boss Ying Sha, Kuang Zei Nie Yan seems to have suddenly disappeared. No one knows where he went," a studio member named House replied in the group chat.

"Kuang Zei Nie Yan might be doing a quest. We can't track him down for the time being," another player named Suo Ha said.

"Keep searching until you find Kuang Zei Nie Yan's location," Ying Sha said, remembering Kuang Fa's words. He clenched his fist, the veins on his arm bulging, revealing the anger in his heart. It was the first time he had been looked down upon like this, feeling his dignity trampled.

The surrounding corridor was lined with thick stone pillars, the ceiling crafted from silver-white wood carvings. The outside was flourishing, a beautiful sight.

Ying Sha walked nearly a hundred yards, seemingly lost in thought. Ying Sha couldn't be loyal to anyone, including Cao Xu. He was an assassin with his own principles, but at the same time, he was the leader of a studio, and so many people in the studio relied on him for a living. If he continued to clash with Kuang Zei Nie Yan and refused to accept Cao Xu's demands, Cao Xu would cut off investment in the studio, and the studio's income would be greatly reduced.

He believed he was doing the right thing. What he had always adhered to was the honor of an assassin, his dignity. Aside from Kuang Zei Nie Yan and a few others in the Niu Ren Tribe, the others weren't worthy of his attention. And now, his only target was Kuang Zei Nie Yan!

Nie Yan followed behind Ying Sha. After walking a hundred yards in the corridor, he looked at the surrounding environment. It was very quiet here, with few people passing by. It was almost time to make his move!

Ying Sha had just had a falling out with Kuang Fa. If Nie Yan successfully assassinated Ying Sha here, he was certain that Ying Sha wouldn't immediately notify the Mage Alliance. Ying Sha wouldn't spread the embarrassing news of his assassination by Nie Yan.

So here, Nie Yan could attack without any hesitation!

This would be Ying Sha's burial ground!

Nie Yan examined the terrain. The corridor was very wide, so there would be enough room to move around if a battle broke out.

However, besides a head-on fight, was there any other way?

With Ying Sha's strength, it wouldn't be easy for Nie Yan to kill him. Rogues might not have much else, but they had plenty of skills for escaping. He had to prevent Ying Sha from using his escape skills to succeed!

When Nie Yan looked up, he saw the crossbeams above, about five yards from the ground. A flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

He had a plan!

Nie Yan quickly passed through a small path in the garden, circled around to Ying Sha's front, activated the skill on the Creeper Ring, climbed up a pillar, and jumped onto the crossbeam, looking down below.

Nie Yan did all of this very secretly and carefully.

The entire corridor remained very quiet. Usually, there wouldn't be many people here except when there were important meetings.

Seeing Ying Sha approaching step by step, Nie Yan crouched slightly, like a hunter hidden in the darkness, staring intently at Ying Sha's every move. At this time, Ying Sha was only about six yards away from Nie Yan. Nie Yan deactivated some of the skills on his body that added to his stealth.

Ying Sha was walking when he frowned and stopped, looking around. He didn't find anything, but he took a few more steps forward, and the feeling still lingered.

At this time, Ying Sha had already walked under the crossbeam. He only felt uneasy, but he didn't know the source of this unease.

Bloodshadow Vision!

A bloody light flashed in Ying Sha's pupils, emitting a dark red glow as he scanned his surroundings. It was empty.

Thinking too much, Ying Sha smiled self-deprecatingly and walked away.

Having just used Bloodshadow Vision to investigate, Ying Sha's mental defenses had been relaxed. Coupled with the fact that there was no one around, this was when his mental defenses were at their weakest.

Ying Sha stepped forward.

Seeing this, Nie Yan revealed a cold smile. This was the moment!

Just as Ying Sha took a few steps, Nie Yan suddenly reached out with his left hand and shot out a spider web. The spider web shot towards Ying Sha.

Ying Sha felt something was wrong behind him, but he could tell it wasn't a sharp weapon like a dagger.

Just as he was about to turn his head, the spider web stuck to his waist, firmly clinging to his leather armor.

Nie Yan stepped on the crossbeam with both feet, pushed off with force, and pulled the spider web hard.

Ying Sha didn't have time to turn around and see what it was. A huge force came from his waist, lifting him into the air.

Ying Sha turned his head slightly and saw a white line. He was shocked. It was Kuang Zei Nie Yan! How could he be here!

The trace of a cold smile on the corner of Nie Yan's mouth fell into Ying Sha's eyes, making Ying Sha's heart turn cold. He understood, he had been set up!

Now that he was suspended in the air, he couldn't use any escape skills, and his body was swaying uncontrollably, making it impossible to judge direction.

Nie Yan used Stun and stabbed it towards Ying Sha's forehead, as fast as lightning.

Ying Sha was about to raise his dagger to block when suddenly, with a "pop," an electric current struck his body, and he was immediately paralyzed.

"Damn, I'm done," Ying Sha couldn't help but curse. At this moment, Nie Yan's Stun successfully hit Ying Sha, causing him to enter a stunned state.

Garrote!

Nie Yan's Sword of Zannard slashed across Ying Sha's throat, and blood splattered out.

After attacking, Nie Yan retracted the spider web and landed lightly. Ying Sha's body fell to the ground.

Ying Sha probably didn't even understand how he had been so confusedly killed. If Nie Yan had used a conventional method, it would have been impossible for him to kill him so easily. Even if Nie Yan was strong, he could still run away with his escape skills, right? However, Nie Yan's killing technique was too special, and he hadn't made any preparations at all, so he was hit immediately.

First, he used the spider web to hang Ying Sha up. At the moment when Ying Sha's body was in the air and he lost his sense of direction, he used the Lightning spell from the Ring of Lightning. After his body was in the air, he couldn't use any escape skills. Ying Sha didn't have any powerful skills like Nie Yan's Divine Judgement, so he couldn't defend against the Lightning spell. At the moment when Ying Sha was paralyzed by the Lightning spell, Nie Yan's Stun hit him.

The whole process was linked together, and Ying Sha didn't even have a chance to fight back!

So in a matter of seconds, he became a ghost under Nie Yan's sword.

Looking at Ying Sha's body on the ground, Nie Yan revealed a satisfied smile after succeeding. He put away the Sword of Zannard, then bent down and picked up the equipment that Ying Sha had dropped. It was a sub-legendary shoulder guard. He didn't know what its attributes were.
