Chapter 368 The Blood Wolf Guild is Annihilated

Two assassins, stealthy, location unknown—needs to be detected.

A perfect kill list.

"Zhou Mo, mark the ranger's location," Ye Yao whispered.

"The ranger on the left is on the third hemlock tree in the southeast direction, and the ranger on the right is in the canopy of the ancient tree directly in front of you."

"Lin Ying, are you in position?"

"It's already at your 10 o'clock position, 80 meters away."

"Follow my instructions."

Ye Yao slowly drew out two daggers—[Kiss of the Night] and [Whisper of the Shadows], the two daggers gleaming with an ominous cold light in the shadows.

At that very moment—

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Shen Yiyi's holy light shield finally succumbed to the pressure, dissipating into countless specks of light.

The Blood Wolf Guild members at the cave entrance grinned maliciously, and the shield guard at the front raised his heavy shield, ready to charge.

It's now!

Ye Yao's figure disappeared from the shadows.

The next instant, she appeared like a ghost under the tree where the ranger was on the left.

The wandering swordsman was so engrossed in staring at the cave entrance that he was completely unaware that death was imminent.

Ye Yao emerged from the shadow of the tree trunk, her dagger precisely severing his ankle tendons.

The ranger cried out in pain as he fell, but before he could hit the ground, his neck was pierced, and his body was dragged into the bushes.

Silence.

The ranger on the right seemed to sense something and turned to look at where his companion had been.

"Zhang Ming? What's wrong?" he asked on the channel.

no respond.

He immediately became alert and moved quickly among the tree canopy.

However, Ye Yao had already appeared in the shadows of his next landing point using [Shadow Shuttle].

The wandering swordsman had barely steadied himself when the cold glint of a dagger flashed across his throat. He clutched his bleeding neck and collapsed silently.

Two outer perimeter guard posts, cleared.

"The Ranger has solved it."

Ye Yao spoke on the channel, her voice calm and even.

"Lin Ying, prepare to deal with the mage. I'll handle the others and the assassins."

"receive."

Ye Yao's senses spread out like a spider web.

The two stealthy assassins, enhanced by the [Shadow Affinity] talent, were as conspicuous as fireflies in the night.

One was in the shadow of a boulder on the left side of the cave, and the other was behind a tree ten meters behind the commander.

She first chose the assassin behind the boulder.

【Shadow Walk】Go to the shadow on the other side of the boulder, then circle around to the assassin's back.

The man seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around—

Too late.

Ye Yao plunged her dagger into his temple, while simultaneously covering his mouth with her left hand and gently twisting it.

The assassin's body went limp.

The second assassin, noticing his companion's life force had vanished, immediately alerted the channel: "Watch out! A master is nearby! Shadow is dead—"

His warning came to an abrupt end.

Ye Yao had appeared behind him without his noticing, and a dagger pierced his heart through the gap between his ribs. At the same time, a dark energy from her left hand sealed his throat, rendering him unable to make a sound.

Two assassins, eliminate them.

Now only the barrier master and four shield guards remain to be dealt with first.

"Lin Ying, the mage is yours. Make your move in three seconds."

"Understood. Three, two, one—Go!"

Almost simultaneously, Ye Yao and Lin Ying launched attacks from two directions.

Lin Ying appeared behind the three mages like a ghost, her dagger flashing as she instantly slit one mage's throat and threw a poisoned throwing knife that struck the second mage in the back.

The third mage turned around in alarm, his staff glowing brightly—

But Ye Yao had already teleported in front of him, her left hand gripping his staff, her right hand plunging a dagger into his throat.

Three mages were wiped out in three seconds.

It was only then that the other members of the Blood Wolf Guild realized what was happening.

"Enemy attack! Ambush!" the commander roared. "Shieldbearers, retract your defenses! Protect the mages, activate group shields immediately—"

One of them hurriedly raised his staff, but before he could finish the incantation, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest.

He looked down and saw a bloodied dagger tip protruding from his heart.

Ye Yao whispered in his ear, "Too slow."

The barrier master drew his dagger and fell to the ground.

The four shield bearers finally formed a defensive formation, protecting the commander in the middle, but their healing, ranged, and spell support had all been eliminated.

"Who is it?! Show yourself!" The commander was both shocked and furious. He had no idea how the enemy had killed seven people in such a short time.

Ye Yao slowly emerged from the shadows.

She stood at the edge of the open space, dressed in black, tight-fitting leather armor, with her two daggers hanging at her sides. She wore a half-shadow mask on her face, revealing only her violet eyes.

"Blood Wolf Guild?" Her voice was eerily calm. "You shouldn't have touched my people."

The commander's pupils contracted: "You are... 'Shadow Dancer' Ye Yao?!"

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!" the commander ordered decisively. Facing an enemy of this caliber, a direct confrontation would be foolish.

But it was too late.

"Chen Yan, stop them."

Ye Yao gave the order.

Suddenly, the sounds of battle came from the north side—Chen Yan and his two teammates intercepted the six-man reserve team, and the battle broke out.

Meanwhile, the four shield guards tried to cover the commander's retreat, but Ye Yao had already moved.

【Shadow Dance Steps】—Her figure instantly transformed into four afterimages, appearing simultaneously in front of the four shield guards.

Four tearing sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

Blood gushed from the throats of all four shield guards simultaneously. They clutched their necks in disbelief and collapsed, dying without ever seeing how Ye Yao had made her move.

The commander retreated frantically, activating the life-saving skill [Blood Wolf Frenzy], which greatly increased his speed and defense.

But Ye Yao simply watched him run thirty meters, and then—

【Shadow Cage】.

Eight shadowy tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground, binding the commander tightly.

Ye Yao slowly walked up to him and looked down at the man whose face was full of terror.

"Please...please, I can give up all my points, all my equipment—" the commander stammered incoherently.

Ye Yao shook her head: "You should have thought of this outcome when you made a move against Shen Yiyi."

The dagger pierced his heart.

The commander's eyes widened as he vanished in a flash of white light.

The battle is over. From the moment Ye Yao made her move to the complete annihilation of the twelve-man main force, it took one minute and twenty seconds.

"Outer perimeter cleared." Chen Yan's voice came through the channel. "All six members of the reserve team are wiped out, and we have two lightly wounded."

"Heal the wounded, collect loot, and retreat in thirty seconds." Ye Yao sheathed her dagger and headed towards the cave.

Inside the cave, Shen Yiyi leaned against the rock wall, her face pale, but she still gripped her staff tightly.

Seeing Ye Yao enter, her tense body finally relaxed, and she staggered slightly.

Ye Yao quickly stepped forward and helped her up.

"Yaoyao..." Shen Yiyi's voice was weak, "I knew you would come."

"I said I'd be there." Ye Yao checked her condition; she was mainly exhausted of magic. "She's alright now."

"There are so many of them, I thought..."

"I didn't think so," Ye Yao interrupted her, her voice unusually gentle. "I'm here."
