165: Neal Knight

Chapter 165: Evil Soul Knight Neil

On the cliff.

Lu Ran sat comfortably on the ground, his hands supporting him, leaning back as he looked up at the sky.

Although he had grown accustomed to Ye Hongyi and the other two being by his side,

He was a little unaccustomed to suddenly having so much free time.

Nanasheng stood to the side, looking at Lu Ran, then occasionally at the Death Valley below.

Neil and his group had not yet appeared.

It was uncertain if the information was accurate, but passing through Death Valley was not easy.

There were many high-level monsters.

Although it wasn't a Forbidden Area, the path through it had been forged with the lives of many high-level professional players.

Neil and his group would have to pay a considerable price to pass through Death Valley.

And now Lu Ran was blocking their way.

“Earlier, when Yamata no Orochi attacked you, why didn’t you take damage?” Nanasheng suddenly asked.

Lu Ran glanced at Nanasheng upon hearing this.

From this angle,

Looking up,

Nanasheng’s voluptuous chest was even more apparent.

In terms of figure, she was even better than Ye Hongyi and Liu Xinxin!

However,

Liu Xinxin was serene, and Ye Hongyi was alluring; they were two completely different styles, unlike Nanasheng.

Nanasheng at this moment seemed more like a loser, a once proud peacock now subservient to others.

“Want to know?” Lu Ran raised an eyebrow, asking playfully.

Nanasheng was startled, then frowned immediately.

She turned her head away, no longer paying attention to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran shrugged. “Are you kidding? How could I tell you that?”

Although he could control Nanasheng, he couldn't tell her everything.

Letting you watch me fight is already pretty good!

“As the guild leader of the Storm Guild, Neil’s combat power is very strong, incomparable to other high-level professional players. Moreover, if Yu Qingcang’s information is accurate, Neil brought quite a few people. Are you sure you’ll be fine? Your ability to not take damage probably can’t last long, can it?” Nanasheng suddenly asked.

No sooner had she spoken,

She suddenly remembered Lu Ran’s Blood Spear, which instantly killed Yamata no Orochi earlier.

So she added, “Even if you can instantly kill Neil, what about the others? That kind of burst should also be a one-time thing.”

Lu Ran looked at Nanasheng amusedly.

He asked, “What? Are you worried about me?”

Nanasheng had finally guessed correctly this time; the Blood Spear was a one-time use ability that required charging. A second Blood Spear in a short period would have very ordinary damage.

Nanasheng said indifferently, “I’m just curious. You, a newcomer who awakened your profession twenty days ago, dare to challenge Neil and his group alone, and yet Yu Qingcang and the others trust you so much.”

This indicated that, at least in Yu Qingcang’s eyes, Lu Ran was capable of defeating Neil and his group!

“No need to try and get information out of me. I’ll tell you what I should, and don’t ask about what you shouldn’t know. Just watch obediently,” Lu Ran said casually.

Nanasheng looked at Lu Ran in astonishment.

It wasn’t about probing for information; she was genuinely very curious about Lu Ran.

She could never have imagined that this Undead Mage, who had constantly pressured and suppressed her on the Global rankings of the Endless Tower, was merely a new professional player who had awakened his profession twenty days ago!

“You killed so many high-level professional players from Eagle Nation in the Deathmatch Arena, and then another batch in Southern Border. I didn’t expect Eagle Nation to arrange a third time, and with Neil personally leading the team. Eagle Nation seems to value you quite a lot,” Nanasheng, unable to stay still, continued chattering.

“Isn’t that normal? You also came to kill me,” Lu Ran said without turning his head.

Upon hearing this,

Nanasheng immediately deflated.

It was better not to mention it; as soon as it was brought up, Nanasheng’s heart couldn’t help but twitch!

She brought Yamata no Orochi to Dragon Xia, and the process of finding Lu Ran wasn't difficult, but the outcome was something she could never have imagined.

Not only did she fail, but she was also completely controlled by Lu Ran!

She sat dejectedly not far from Lu Ran.

But her posture was not as relaxed as Lu Ran’s.

Instead, she looked more like a pitiful little girl, curled up, with her arms wrapped around her knees and her head resting on them.

This posture made her feel a sense of security.

Lu Ran turned his head and glanced at Nanasheng, noticing she wasn't speaking. Lu Ran also didn't bother to speak, and continued to stare back at Death Valley.

And at this moment,

At the other end of Death Valley,

Neil was slowly advancing with his people.

The number of people in the team was indeed quite large, a full forty to fifty people!

To gather so many high-level professional players, Neil was clearly determined to succeed this time.

And Nanasheng was right.

Neil’s combat power was much more terrifying than other hidden professional players of the same level.

Purple hellfire surged around him.

A special scythe weapon in his hand constantly swung.

The scythe head was connected to a chain also burning with purple hellfire, sweeping around.

Wherever it passed, low-level monsters were instantly killed.

And even high-level monsters, after being attacked by Neil, would have their bodies corroded by the hellfire, causing their health to rapidly decline.

The others quickly finished them off. Although the team's progress was not fast, there was no danger.

“Guild Leader, how much further?” a professional player beside him asked.

“Soon,” Neil glanced at the map and said casually.

Actually, everyone could check the map.

Didn’t they know how far it was themselves?

It was just that fighting in a place like Death Valley required a high level of mental focus.

Although Neil could control the overall situation, if a team member fell into danger and Neil had to put himself in danger to rescue them, given Neil's arrogance, he would definitely not intervene!

These people understood Neil.

However, they were indeed not far from the mouth of Death Valley. Once they reached the mouth of Death Valley, they would be able to leave the dangerous area.

And the entire Northwest region was sparsely populated.

Neil and his group could quickly hide themselves, integrate into Dragon Xia, and begin to gather information about that Undead Mage!

“Everyone, let’s speed up a bit. After we leave the valley mouth, I will arrange the deployment for hiding. There are only ten days left until the National War, we must kill that Undead Mage before the National War!” Neil shouted to the team members behind him.

To be honest, Neil himself was unsure.

One wave in the Deathmatch Arena, one wave in Southern Border, all those sent out died!

Especially in the Deathmatch Arena, that Undead Mage went on a rampage, even the team of five guild leaders was wiped out by him!

If he hadn't been forced into it, Neil would have rather died than come to Dragon Xia to take such a risk.

But since he had already come, if he didn't stir up some trouble, how could he go back?

His identity as the first guild leader of Eagle Nation would also become a joke.

The team members behind him all responded in unison, and the team began to speed up, with the hellfire on Neil burning even more fiercely.

Only, they didn't know that...

On the distant cliff,

Two figures were quietly watching this scene.

“Evil Soul Knight, it’s Neil alright. Looking at the numbers, there are forty to fifty people,” Nanasheng murmured.

Lu Ran stood up upon hearing this.

He stretched, limbering up his body, and said, “Time to get to work!”
