Chapter 636 - Pinnacle of Speed!

　　Even though the street was crowded, everyone made sure to give way to Nie Yan. These players all respected him greatly. His prestige in a.s.skickers United was something other people would find difficult to comprehend.

　　Nie Yan could be described as a.s.skickers United’s absolute pillar. He alone propped up the entire guild.

　　As Nie Yan made his way through the street, many familiar faces stepped forth from the crowd to ask him about one thing or another.

　　“Boss, get anything good lately?”

　　“Of course.” Nie Yan chuckled.

　　“Boss, you’re a Shadow Dancer now. Show us something cool!”

　　“Yeah!”

　　“Please, Boss!”

　　The shouts grew louder and louder. For most ordinary Thieves, becoming a Shadow Dancer was an unattainable dream. They all wanted to see what the pinnacle of the Thief cla.s.s looked like.

　　At the persistent urging of the surrounding players, Nie Yan couldn’t simply flat out refuse. After thinking for a moment, he finally caved and said. “Alright, alright, watch closely since I’m only going to do this once. I have faith that some of you will also become Shadow Dancers one day.”

　　When the players were about to say something, Nie Yan’s silhouette turned into a blur as he travelled several dozen meters in the blink of an eye. He was like a human flash. Their hearts shook. This was the speed of a Shadow Dancer? Too frightening!

　　Nie Yan’s speed was absolutely stunning, leaving the entire crowd breathless.

　　The casters felt their blood run cold. If they were to encounter such a Thief in PvP, there would be nothing they could do. Most likely Nie Yan’s blade would’ve already slit their throat before they even got a chance to chant out a single spell. 

　　Shadow Dancer, this was a Shadow Dancer! The Thieves in the crowd were completely awestruck. This t.i.tle was instantly engraved deep into their minds as they inwardly made a resolve. From now on, they would also pursue this peak existence.

　　Nie Yan only showed off a bit of his speed. He didn’t reveal too much since there were certainly enemies watching him at this very moment.

　　Having entertained the players around him long enough, Nie Yan entered the guild headquarters.

　　...

　　News of Nie Yan’s appearance in the Cripps Stronghold attracted the attention of many powers.

　　G.o.d Executioner Sword guild headquarters, a large group of people had gathered inside a conference hall. Qin Han sat at the head of a large table in the middle of the room. His appearance compared to reality was somewhat different. Donned in ash gray robes, he wore an unsightly expression on his face as Nie Yan’s little performance in the Cripps Stronghold was broadcasted to everyone here live. His speed just now caused Qin Han to feel a cold chill a the back of his neck. If he and Nie Yan were to fight, he would definitely be cut down in an instant.

　　Individually, he was far from being Nie Yan’s match.

　　A dark look clouded Qin Han’s face. The people below found it difficult to read his thoughts.

　　“Qin Han, Nirvana Flame is back. Do we go forward with the plan?” a guild leader asked. The name of the Mad Rogue filled his heart with fear and apprehension.

　　At least 130 people were in the conference hall. All of them were the leaders of various guilds in the Viridian Empire, including powerhouses like Divine Protectors, Penumbra Empire, and G.o.d Executioner Sword. The amount of backing required to bring all these people together was unimaginable.

　　Sitting in a corner, Eternal Sin[1] looked on with narrowed eyes, an imperceptible light flickering in his pupils. Qin Han was indeed a powerful individual. Having gathered more than half of the guilds in the Viridian Empire, he was certainly capable of contending with a.s.sskickers United. 

　　Circ.u.mstances caused Eternal Sin to side with Qin Han. That was why he attended this meeting, and why he would join the a.s.sault of a.s.skickers United and its allies. Yet the pressure of victory didn’t rest on his shoulders like it did on the others. What he felt was curiosity, to see who would emerge victorious in this conflict.

　　The conference hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was waiting for Qin Han's answer.

　　“We go forward with the plan! We’ll take down Battle Crazed Alliance first, then the War G.o.d Tribe next,” Qin Han declared. Divide and conquer! Battle Crazed Alliance and the War G.o.d Tribe were located the furthest away from Calore.

　　Qin Han’s voice was decisive, cutting across the room.

　　The people in the conference hall all nodded in agreement. Qin Han was their backer, so none of them dared to go against his word.

　　With Qin Han giving the order, they immediately got to work. They would strike in six days at the latest.

　　...

　　Nie Yan met up with Guo Huai in the a.s.skickers United guild headquarters.
