Su Jingyan was casting control spells to create openings for her team's counterattack, completely unaware of an Infinite Guild assassin sneaking up from her right.
Just as the assassin was about to strike—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A flurry of arrows rained down from above, piercing the Infinite Guild assassin. In an instant, he was turned into a pincushion!
Even though he was a Level 28 Assassin fully equipped with gold gear, he was still a glass cannon, and he was killed on the spot.
Realizing she had narrowly avoided a sneak attack, Su Jingyan turned to Liu Yao and nodded. "Thanks!"
Liu Yao chuckled, "No need to thank , sis-in-law!"
On the other side, the Infinite Guild mbers saw their comrade, the assassin, fall to a barrage of arrows from Supre Guild's archers. They couldn't believe it.
"Damn! Don't go after that female mage! Supre Guild's archers are ruthless!"
At that mont, Liu Yao raised his sword and shouted, "Brothers, charge! Kill one of those Infinite Guild guys, and I'll give you 30,000!"
With that incentive, two hundred Supre Guild mbers surged forward, so even stepping over Liu Yao in their rush to take down Infinite Guild.
The Supre Guild and Misty Rain Pavilion fought side by side against Infinite Guild.
Warriors and knights clashed in close combat, mages and archers provided long-range support, assassins struck from the shadows, and beast tars sent their pets to wreak havoc on the battlefield.
Swords and spells collided in a chaotic dance of steel and magic.
But Infinite Guild had more than just the thirty-odd mbers visible on the field.
As the fight raged on, another seventy high-level archers and mages from Infinite Guild surged forward from behind, locking onto their targets and unleashing attacks!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom! Boom!
A storm of arrows and magic orbs covered the battlefield, dealing massive damage and turning Misty Rain Pavilion and Supre Guild mbers into white light in an instant!
Infinite Guild's elite force, equipped in full gold gear, was overwhelming. Within monts, they crushed the two guilds!
Even with nearly three hundred mbers, Misty Rain Pavilion and Supre Guild together couldn't stand against Infinite Guild.
Countless flashes of white light filled the field, and over 90% of the casualties were from Misty Rain Pavilion and Supre Guild!
In just monts, half of their forces had fallen.
Realizing the dire situation, Su Jingyan quickly issued a command, "Everyone, retreat!"
Seeing Misty Rain Pavilion pulling back, Liu Yao shouted, "Fall back! We're retreating too!"
The two guilds retreated as they fought, eventually withdrawing from the City of Destruction in a sowhat disorganized fashion.
Infinite Guild didn't bother to pursue.
Infinite Overlord casually rested his blazing spear on his shoulder and scoffed, "Pathetic! At least War God Guild had a decent Thunder Mage who could put up a fight. These two guilds? Not a single decent player among them. Absolutely worthless."
"Oh, right, that Forbidden Mage was pretty good," Infinite Overlord muttered, rubbing his chin with a greedy smile. "She's beautiful too. Just my type."
One of his lackeys chid in with a smirk, "With your skills, status, and power, Vice-President, that Su family girl should be more than happy to fall into your arms."
Infinite Overlord laughed, "Good. I've decided—I'm going after Miss Su!"
---
Elsewhere, the mbers of Misty Rain Pavilion and Supre Guild regrouped in a safe area.
Both guilds were buzzing with conversation:
"Infinite Guild is just too strong!"
"Their gear is insane!"
"No wonder even War God Guild was demolished. Their entire guild's decked out in full gold gear. How do we even fight that?"
Liu Yao let out a sigh. "If my big brother were here, he'd never let these clowns run wild."
"I'm calling him right now to get revenge!"
Just as Liu Yao was about to send a Fly-ssage to Zhang Yue, Li Xiaoyao stopped him. "Relying on him for everything will only make you look weak."
"... Fine, I get it. I'm just a weakling." Liu Yao sighed in resignation. "So, what's the plan then?"
"Lay low," Su Jingyan advised. "They're targeting us with precision, and this isn't even Infinite Guild's main force!"
"They just sent a random group to log in on our Linhai City servers. If we waste all our energy fighting them, we won't have any strength left to prepare for the Professional Championships. That's exactly what they want!"
From that point on, Misty Rain Pavilion, Supre Guild, and even War God Guild decided to focus on leveling up and preparing, temporarily backing off from confrontations with Infinite Guild.
But Infinite Guild's assassins were everywhere!
No matter where they went near the Light Hall, mbers of the three guilds kept getting hunted down by Infinite Guild!
Each guild's chat was in chaos...
[Misty Rain Pavilion, Handso]: "Damn it! Infinite Guild mbers are everywhere! I've been killed by them twice in two days! I'm out of revival scrolls and don't even dare leave the city anymore!"
---
[Supre Guild, Sky Feather]: "I can't even farm in the Third Realm. They've locked it down!"
---
[War God, Legend]: "Infinite Guild is just out of their minds!"
---
As the situation escalated, it quickly exploded on Zhe Ning Province's trending topics.
Besides posts about the upcoming Global Professional Championships holding steady at the top, the second spot was dominated by "Infinite Guild Crushing War God, Supre, and Misty Rain Pavilion! Are the Three Guilds Going to Lose Their Eligibility for This Year's Professional Championships?"
The topic was flooded with comnts from all over Zhe Ning Province:
"Honestly, as expected of our province's number one guild, Infinite Guild is insanely strong!"
"They took down three top guilds with just a hundred players? How trash are those other three guilds?"
"The three guilds are completely restricted. I heard they can't even leave safe zones and won't reach Level 30 in ti to register for the Professional Championships this year!"
"That's tragic!"
"Infinite Guild's vice-president, Infinite Overlord, said he'd lay off Misty Rain Pavilion if their president, Miss Su from Linhai City's Su family, agreed to date him. But Miss Su turned him down."
"What?! Infinite Overlord's the vice-president of Infinite Guild! He's powerful, influential, and has a promising future. How could she refuse a chance that most girls would kill for?"
As the post continued to gain traction, the leaders of the three guilds took notice.

In Linhai City, at the Su family's headquarters.
In the conference room, the chairman, Su Chen, personally held a eting.
"With all players under Level 100 having Safe Guard protection, this situation is sothing professionals in higher realms can't interfere with. They'll have to handle it themselves."
"They're all newly advanced professionals this year, and Infinite Guild mbers not only have higher levels but superior equipnt. They're outmatched."
"Infinite Guild's veteran players in the higher realms are even stronger. Trying to pressure them into retreating from the higher realms is pointless."
"If this keeps up, our Misty Rain Pavilion's new professionals won't be able to participate in the Professional Championships this year. Without them, we'll be short on firepower. I'm afraid that after this year's competition, Heavenly Palace Guild will overtake us, pushing Misty Rain Pavilion down to sixth place."
At this, Su Chen turned to Su Jingyan. "Have you made any progress on recruiting that player Zero?"
Su Jingyan shook her head. "He's not interested in joining Misty Rain Pavilion."
Su Chen clasped his hands together, deep in thought, before saying, "Infinite Guild's offer still stands. If you agree to date Infinite Overlord, they won't target Misty Rain Pavilion anymore."
Before Su Jingyan could respond, her older sister, Su Jingya, cut in with a frown. "First it was Chen Jun, now Infinite Overlord. Chairman Su, do you see Jingyan as so bargaining chip?"
"This is for the guild's greater good," Su Chen replied. "After Chen Jun's death, the Chen family withdrew their investnt, which already dealt a heavy blow to our guild. If we fail in this year's championships, Misty Rain Pavilion's reputation will hit rock bottom."
"Besides, Infinite Overlord is only asking for a relationship, nothing more."
anwhile, Su Jingyan stared blankly at the Fly-ssage conversation with Zhang Yue open on her phone, her gaze lingering on his online status.
"Uncle, please... just give so ti to think about it."
