Chapter 755 - No Retrea (1/2)

Even though Nie Yan was blinded, his powerful senses allowed him to lock onto the opponent’s position.

Nie Yan didn’t panic like the average player would. Rather, he was extraordinarily calm.

Nie Yan entered a mysterious new state. After losing his sight, all his other senses were greatly sharpened.

It was almost as if he weren't blind. Nie Yan could easily sense the direction the enemy’s dagger was coming from. He could even feel the icy killing intent emanating from the blade.

These were the senses of a Shadow Dancer. Nie Yan’s comprehension grew even deeper.

Apart from their astonishing speed, Shadow Dancers also had a hidden talent, their sharp senses. Their powerful perception allowed them to immediately lock onto any threats, regardless of the situation.

Sensing the enemy’s dagger stabbing towards him, Nie Yan raised his own dagger to block. KLANG! The two blades clashed against each other.

Nie Yan quickly retreated two steps. His ears twitched as he took in all the sounds in the surroundings.

What!? Did it fail!? Butcher Sark was caught off guard. He thought for sure his strike would kill Nie Yan.

Sark looked up, only to discover Nie Yan’s eyes were cloudy and unfocused. There was no mistake. The Flash Bomb worked. Then, how did Nie Yan manage to block his attack?

This brief moment of hesitation gave Nie Yan the time he needed to catch his breath.

Run Through!

Sark didn’t dare to underestimate Nie Yan. He lunged forward, stabbing out with his dagger.

Nie Yan slightly leaned his body to the side. At the same time, he reverse gripped Zennarde’s Sword and stabbed down toward Sark’s wrist.

Sark reacted instantly, basically on reflex. He cancelled his skill midway and pulled back his hand.

At this moment, Nie Yan spun around with a side kick toward Sark’s chest.

This was Sark’s first time encountering this style of combat. He hurriedly crossed both his arms to block.

BANG! The powerful kick knocked him off his feet. He rolled on the ground for six meters before finally regaining his balance.

Sark and Nie Yan weren’t on the same level. This single exchange revealed the gap between them.

How was it possible that Nie Yan fought with pinpoint accuracy despite losing his vision? Sark couldn’t describe the shock in his heart right now. If before he wondered how Nie Yan still remained undefeated to this day, he now started to understand.

In terms of skill, Nie Yan was like an insurmountable mountain. Even Sark who was normally filled with unbridled arrogance felt a heavy pressure weigh down on him.

Nie Yan focused his senses. He could clearly feel the strength of his kick, Sark’s current position, and everything else going on in his direct surroundings. By relying on his other senses,, he created a virtual facsimile of the world around him in his mind.

Nie Yan was about to pounce forward and finish off Sark, when—Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Several arrows came flying towards him, along with a spell or two mixed in.

Sensing the angle they were coming from as well as their speed, Nie Yan leaped back at the last moment. Put put put! The arrows struck the ground.

A powerful presence came rushing over from the sky. It was the Demon Slaughterer!

Nie Yan could no longer be bothered to care about Sark. He quickly turned around and fled. Like a cheetah sprinting through the plains, he was as fast as lightning.

Seeing the Demon Slaughterer approaching, Soaring Angel and the others quickly scattered.

「Sark, did your Goblin Flash Bomb fail?」Soaring Angel asked in doubt. He had clearly seen Nie Yan getting hit by the flash bomb. However, he seemed completely unaffected, moving and evading just like he normally would.

「No, it didn’t fail.」Sark shook his head.

「Really? That’s impossible!」The others found this hard to believe. How could someone dodge so smoothly and even retaliate if they couldn’t see?

「He’s Nirvana Flame. Nothing is impossible,」Sark replied in an insipid tone.

The four of them became silent. In the end, they had no choice but to believe Sark.

Seeing the Demon Slaughterer relentlessly pursuing Nie Yan, they couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts. If it weren’t for the Demon Slaughterer pursuing him, they probably wouldn’t even get the chance to surround him. In fact, they weren’t even confident in preserving their own lives in that situation.

A second game of cat and mouse unfolded.

The effects of the flash bomb persisted for quite a long time. Eventually, Battle Angel Kalenna cast Cure Blind on Nie Yan. Only then did he gradually regain his vision. He could see the surroundings with his eyes again.

Nie Yan had more or less given up on Kalenna and let her do as she pleased. He’d tried on numerous occasions to control her, but he couldn’t. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant surprise she woke up to help him cure his blindness. After which, of course, she quickly went back to sleep.

It looked like he couldn’t expect anything of Kalenna. Nie Yan continued fleeing for his life. The Demon Slaughterer was hot on his tail.

As the Demon Slaughterer dived down on him, Nie Yan suddenly turned around. He dove forward and slid right under the Demon Slaughterer.

BOOM! The Demon Slaughterer crashed into a building.

The Demon Slaughterer stood up from the pile of rubble. It shook its head and let out an enraged roar. It looked around for traces of Nie Yan.
