The sudden appearance of Not a Master was like a stone thrown into a calm lake.
The three members of Owl Dragon World exchanged glances, somewhat surprised. However, their surprise was merely that; they did not take any immediate action.
Clearly, they were considering Yi Tianchen's feelings, and would refrain from any extreme actions until they received a response from him. Otherwise, with the strength of any one of them, Not a Master would have no chance but to be defeated without even the opportunity to resist.
Of course, the most shocked among them was Yi Tianchen. He could hardly believe that Not a Master, who was only level 18, would recklessly charge in to defend him—a person who could hardly be called a friend—against three powerful players with an average level exceeding 22.
"Well... that's good to hear. Although I’ve joined a studio, I’m just a casual player and not part of any guild!"
Patting Not a Master's shoulder, Yi Tianchen signaled him to stay calm. If it came down to fighting, being nervous would only lead to a quicker defeat.
"Oh? That's quite unfortunate!"
Owl Dragon World played his part well, his eyes filled with feigned regret. Suddenly, he looked astonished and exclaimed, "So it’s the number one on the level leaderboard, Falling Leaves! I truly failed to recognize such greatness! With skills like yours, it’s indeed a waste of talent not to pursue a serious career!"
Yi Tianchen smiled lightly. He wasn’t particularly surprised that Owl Dragon World had recognized his ID, Falling Leaves. After all, he had already crossed paths with Fallen Grudge, and their identities had been revealed through system prompts.
"You're too kind; it's just an empty title!" Yi Tianchen replied nonchalantly.
"I wonder if Brother Fallen Wood has any plans to join a guild?" Owl Dragon World asked with a smile.
"Thank you for your kind offer! However, to be honest, I tend to be rather free-spirited and dislike constraints. So for now, I have no plans to join any guild. If one day I decide to join Fierce Dragon Guild, I hope you can assist me!"
Yi Tianchen politely laughed it off. This served two purposes: it gave face to the other party while also leaving himself an escape route.
A direct refusal might provoke them. Facing such formidable figures—especially since Yi Tianchen was currently wanted and envied by many players—he needed to tread carefully; otherwise, conflict was inevitable.
With such ambiguous words, Owl Dragon World found no excuse to act aggressively. Of course, if he chose to attack without reason, Yi Tianchen would have nothing to say about it. At best, he could retreat with some dignity; at worst, it could lead to mutual destruction.
"Haha... haha..."
Indeed, upon hearing Yi Tianchen's polite refusal, Owl Dragon World's expression shifted slightly. He chuckled softly but tightened his grip on his sword and sighed, "Alright then. Since Brother Fallen Wood has said so, I won’t press further. As you mentioned, if you ever wish to join a guild one day, feel free to come find me!"
"Then I must thank the Hawk Dragon Guild first!"
Yi Tianchen chuckled, greeting Not a Master, and clasped his fists to the three of them. "With the green mountains and clear waters, we shall meet again!"
"We shall meet again!"
Undeniably, Owl Dragon World's words felt somewhat insincere, but there was nothing to be done about it. The other two simply maintained stern expressions, their eyes revealing hostility. To be honest, seeing the expressions of the three made Yi Tianchen feel a bit secretly pleased.
However, just as Yi Tianchen and Not a Master had walked less than ten meters away, an unusual restlessness suddenly filled the air.
Yi Tianchen's heart sank; it was killing intent, and not just one!
He abruptly turned around and was shocked to find that Fallen Grudge had vanished. But to his surprise, Fallen Grudge was not heading towards them.
Moments later, he saw a large burst of fireworks erupting twenty yards to his left. Accompanied by the sound of clashing metal, two figures appeared simultaneously, both wielding cold and sharp daggers, their eyes equally ruthless.
Yi Tianchen froze; there was actually another assassin hidden!
"Uh... it's him!"
Not a Master exclaimed in shock, which left Yi Tianchen momentarily stunned. What a joke; this was someone Not a Master recognized but he did not. Given the current situation, this suddenly appearing assassin's skill level was even above that of Fallen Grudge.
The reason was simple: when Fallen Grudge faced this newly emerged assassin, his previously calm eyes showed a hint of disorder.
In contrast, it was evident that this guy was so quiet that one could hardly sense his presence; he seemed like a Phantom right before their eyes. To say that such a stealthy assassin was not terrifying would indeed be absurd.
"The Terminator of Regrets has caused Fallen Grudge from Fierce Dragon Guild to suffer three consecutive defeats. What's more remarkable is that he managed to escape safely after snatching BOSS experience from under the noses of hundreds from Fierce Dragon Guild three times in a row. He is now wanted by Fierce Dragon Guild with a bounty of fifty gold coins for his head!"
Listening to Not a Master's introduction, Yi Tianchen felt somewhat surprised. To have made Fallen Grudge suffer three consecutive defeats and escape unscathed from the blockade of hundreds from the Guild after seizing BOSS experience required not only impressive skills but also considerable courage.
It seemed that this was yet another fearless individual who feared nothing but lacking experience and equipment!
"Clang, clang..."
After a few crisp sounds, the two stepped back from each other. On the other side, Owl Dragon World and Frost Dragon Wuhen wore grim expressions, but it seemed they were wary of Yi Tianchen's presence and did not immediately take action.
"Hehe... I merely blew off some dust from my clothes, and you noticed. You've made quite an improvement!" The Terminator of Regrets stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over everyone, including Yi Tianchen.
Yi Tianchen looked at the suddenly appearing assassin with a somewhat speechless expression, a thought of wanting to see this play unfold rising in his mind.
Upon closer inspection, the assassin appeared to be just over twenty years old, clad in black leather armor that exuded an air of mystery. However, this guy really had a knack for exaggeration; claiming he blew off a few specks of dust—did he think this was some kind of martial arts story?
"Remnant, you've repeatedly thwarted my Guild's plans. I was just lamenting not being able to find you! Hmph, who would have thought you'd come knocking on my door. Today, there's no escape for you!" Fallen Grudge growled ominously, a dagger nearly pulled out of its sheath.
"Hmph~ Remnant, do you really think you can leave unscathed under our three-pronged attack?" Frost Dragon Wuhen's icy words echoed through the forest as he raised his razor-sharp axe, reflecting a cold glint.
"Hehe... taking advantage of numbers has always been your Fierce Dragon Guild's specialty. But if you want to keep me here, it's not that simple!" The Terminator of Regrets lightly waved his dagger without launching any attack, instead doing something that took everyone by surprise.
He charged straight towards Yi Tianchen!
In an instant, The Terminator of Regrets appeared right in front of Yi Tianchen, casting a challenging glance at Owl Dragon World and his companions while grinning widely. "Fallen Wood Boss, as you said, I've stolen their boss three times and succeeded each time. How about that? I didn't let you down, did I?"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback.
For a moment, everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief as they stared at Yi Tianchen. Especially Owl Dragon World and his two companions; their faces were as dark as thunder. If they could have swallowed Yi Tianchen whole at that moment, they would have.
"Haha, hahaha..."
Owl Dragon World's chilling laughter suddenly broke the silence of the forest. His gaze towards Yi Tianchen ignited with intense battle intent: "Interesting; this is truly quite interesting!"
"So you were all in cahoots!" Fallen Grudge seethed with rage, his brows knitting into a tight knot as he declared sternly: "Since that's the case, let's settle this today!"
"Haha, that's exactly what I had in mind!" The Terminator of Regrets seized the opportunity now that his scheme had succeeded. He looked at Owl Dragon World and his companions: "Perfect! It's three against three—assassin against assassin. I wonder if you have the guts to fight?"
"How... could I possibly be afraid of you?" Fallen Grudge couldn't help but curse.
Yi Tianchen forced a bitter smile, secretly wishing he could tear apart The Terminator of Regrets, the root cause of all this trouble. But it was clear that now was not the time to settle that score; the three people in front of him were his greatest opponents today. At this point, no amount of explanation would change anything.
The only solution was to fight!
"Assassins against assassins, so what about me..." Not a Master said, gripping his heavy sword with a determined expression.
Before he could finish his thought, Frost Dragon Wuhen, also a Berserker, let out a cold laugh and calmly replied, "Your opponent is obviously me!"
"Damn..."
Not a Master struggled to find words to express his current feelings. After letting out a desperate curse, he met Yi Tianchen's calm gaze, which made him shudder involuntarily. He widened his eyes and shouted, "Hah, if it's a fight you want, then bring it on! I'm not afraid of you!"
"You're quite bold!"
Frost Dragon Wuhen's eyes narrowed as he suddenly swung his axe forward with tremendous force, charging at him with lethal intent. He declared coldly, "I truly hope you still have such courage when you fall!"
