Chapter 861 - Purifying Angud (1/2)

Half-Demon Angud locked his gaze onto Nie Yan and pushed off the ground. 50 meters, 40 meters, 30 meters...

The Warriors in the expedition team threw themselves into the path of Angud, only to be knocked away. No matter how much of them went up, they couldn’t even slow Angud down, let alone block him.

When Angud was 29 meters away, Nie Yan’s pupils shrunk.

The ground within a 20-meter radius around Angud transformed into a whirlpool of quicksand. Angud got stuck, unable to lift his feet. No matter how much he struggled or tried to leap away, he only sank further in.

This was Violet Mist’s most powerful Quicksand Trap, super effective against bosses!

Nie Yan didn’t have high hopes of this trap locking Angud down for long. Just a few seconds, and he’d be happy.

“Nirvana Flame can’t move! This is our chance! Kill him!”

Over 60 Thieves from Angel Corps came rushing out from their hiding spots. They only had a singular goal, to kill Nie Yan!

“Scoundrel, Yao Yao, Sparrow Hawk, come and help! We can’t deal with all of them in time!”

King of the World, Mistaken Smile, and Sun couldn’t block all these 60 Thieves from reaching Nie Yan. The rest of the expedition team members were busy dealing with the golden skeletons, so they couldn’t lend any help right now either. Nor could the other players who were stationed only a small distance away. They had their hands full with a 3,000-man team from Angel Corps rushing over.

Several Thieves were about to close in on Nie Yan, when Xie Yao arrived in front of them with just a few Blinks.

“Watch out for that Mage!”

“Kill her!”

Xie Yao waved her staff, casting a Rank 13 Holy Judgement. A massive pillar of light descended, only gaining in size.

“Carefu—!”

BANG! BANG! Two Thieves failed to evade in time and were sent flying.

One Thief escaped with Gale Step and tried to close in on Nie Yan. Xie Yao instantly blinked in front of them. With a wave of her staff, she fired a Holy Bolt.

Only a distance of two meters separated the two. The Thief had no time to react at all. BANG! His body flew through the air lifelessly.

Several of the Thieves further back broke out in a cold sweat.

“Shit, that Mage is too scary!”

“Ignore her! Deal with Nirvana Flame first!”

Two more Thieves were charging towards Nie Yan, when they suddenly both came to a screeching halt. Someone stood in front of them.

“It’s Sparrow Hawk! Run!”

“Get away!”

These were the last words the Thieves said. Tang Yao’s notoriety in Asskickers United was only second to Nie Yan’s. To the outside, he was an untouchable existence.

Tang Yao took quick care of these two Thieves with only a few spells.

Still struggling in the quicksand, Angud raised his hand and conjured an enormous fireball. He aimed it toward the ground below his feet.

BOOOM! The intense heat transformed the sand into glass, which shattered as Angud freed himself.

Angud leaped forward and landed 10 meters away from Nie Yan. He raised his fist, his face looking particularly sinister within the dark aura he was giving off.

Tang Yao waved his staff, summoning an Arcane Ice Shield in front of Nie Yan.

BOOOM! Angud punched the black shield and shattered it in one blow, practically disintegrating it as specks of ice crystals fluttered in the air.

“Shit! There’s no stopping him!” Tang Yao despaired.

Seeing Angud closing in fast, Nie Yan’s lips curved into a faint smile.

“Boss, run!” Undying Scoundrel cried out anxiously.

Nie Yan showed no signs of fleeing. Instead, he shouted, “Kelo, appear!”

WHOOOOSH! An unrivalled aura swept away all the players within a 60-meter radius. A giant tornado descended from the sky. Angud was sent flying away and crashed into the ground. He struggled to resist the fierce gale. The powerful new presence caused him to tremble in fear.

A large, burly figure appeared within the tornado.

“The boss did it!”
