Chapter 802 - Flawless Ambush (1/2)

The Blood Reaver Corps was hunting Desert Goliath Lizards. Nie Yan believed it would be some time before they moved on to the boss. Seeing their members sit down to recuperate their health and mana, he wasn’t willing to wait any longer. This was a good opportunity to strike.

Nie Yan and the other Thieves slowly closed in on the players of the Blood Reaver Corps.

Nie Yan’s eyes fell on Blood Devil. The enemy leader. In a perfect world, he’d assassinate him first and then kill the rest. However, that was wishful thinking. This was the most famous expert in the Blood Reaver Corps. Nie Yan didn’t want to take the risk, afraid this opponent would prove harder to kill than expected.

Nie Yan focused his attention on a certain Dark Zealot. He wore a black robe with a hood that hid his face. His equipment was the best among the Dark Zealots here, with at least two pieces being Legendary-grade. Taking into consideration where he was standing, Nie Yan could immediately tell he was the Blood Reaver Corps’ number one Dark Zealot.

Dark Zealots were the Priests of the Demon Tribe. If Nie Yan killed the Blood Reaver Corps’ number one Dark Zealot, it would definitely be more meaningful than killing Blood Devil himself. A dozen or so players stood close by the Dark Zealot. However, none of them appeared to be too wary.

The players from the Blood Reaver Corps had yet to spot the threat looming over them. They believed to be absolutely safe and that Asskickers United couldn’t possibly find them. Little did they know that eight Shadow Dancers were quickly closing in on them.

They were still happily chatting with each other, in fervent discussion about the day’s harvest.

「Boss, I’m in position,」Tyrannical said.

「Same here.」

「Me too!」

...

Sun, King of the World, and the other five were already within 10 meters of the Blood Reaver Corps. They had each selected a target.

Nie Yan gauged the distance between him and his target, about seven meters. It was time to take action!

「I’ll take out that Dark Zealot. But first, listen up guys, this is how we’re going to do it.」Nie Yan said. He quickly explained their battle plan.

Nie Yan suddenly shot forward with blinding speed and stabbed Zennarde’s Sword toward the back of the Dark Zealot’s head.

Nie Yan’s movements were too fast. From lurking in ambush to pouncing at his target, it only took a fraction of a second. This kind of speed couldn’t be replicated in real life, only inside the game.

At this moment, the players from the Blood Reaver Corps were quite carefree and relaxed. They had no sense of danger or wariness. Nie Yan was too fast, catching them completely off guard. They didn’t have any time to react, most didn’t even see his silhouette flash past them.

Sensing something off, the Dark Zealot tried to flee. His foot hung in the air mid-step and his staff was still lowered, when Nie Yan stunned him with a Smothering Strike.

Nie Yan pressed the blade of Zennarde’s Sword against the Dark Zealot’s throat and slashed out with a Cut Throat.

PSSFHT! Blood sprayed out, as the Dark Zealot collapsed dead on the ground.

The players of the Blood Reaver Corps finally reacted.

“Boss! It’s Nirvana Flame!” came a panicked voice.

Blood Devil wasn’t blind. Before this player had even started shouting, he already charged toward Nie Yan. There was only six meters between them.

Shadow Waltz!

Nie Yan disappeared from Blood Devil’s view. He then reemerged next to a drow Warlock and and slashed down with Zennarde’s Sword.

−13,888! An instant kill!

The Blood Reaver Corps players resting on the ground quickly shot up to their feet. Their initial confusion and panic quickly took place for a certain calmness. It seemed like they had a plan prepared specifically for a scenario like this.

Seeing he had successfully attracted their attention, Nie Yan shouted in the voice chat,「Kill!」

As the words left Nie Yan’s mouth, Sun, King of the World, and the other Shadow Dancers launched their ambushes. PSSFHT! PSSFHT! PSSFHT! Seven jets of blood sprayed into the air. Seven players from the Blood Reaver Corps were instantly killed.

「What a bunch of trash. So slow,」Tyrannical remarked.
