Chapter 147 Ambush

Nie Yan's gaze swept over the flying mounts, landing on the fleeing Void Ray Serpent. Among all the flying mounts, that Void Ray Serpent was definitely the highest tier.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Nie Yan spurred Darkwing to chase after it.

Darkwing was much faster than the Void Ray Serpent, and the distance between them grew closer and closer, shrinking from 500 yards to 300 yards.

Discovering Darkwing swooping down from behind, Hunter Fox's expression drastically changed. He didn't care about the sacrifices of other people's flying mounts, but the Void Ray Serpent was the foundation of his current status in Angel Corps. So, even if it meant a desperate fight with Mad Rogue Nie Yan, he absolutely wouldn't surrender.

Hunter Fox issued a command to the Void Ray Serpent, and the Void Ray Serpent suddenly released a thick, dark fog that enveloped an area of fifty yards.

Seeing Darkwing about to crash into this cloud of black mist, Nie Yan quickly pulled Darkwing higher, and discovered the Void Ray Serpent flying north. Darkwing circled around the black fog and swooped down from above, rapidly approaching the Void Ray Serpent.

The black fog successfully bought some time, but Hunter Fox didn't expect Nie Yan to catch up so quickly.

Three hundred yards, two hundred yards, the distance closed rapidly.

Nie Yan was determined to obtain the Void Ray Serpent.

Darkwing was too strong. Hunter Fox had almost no way out.

At this point, he was close to despair.

Sitting on Darkwing's back, Nie Yan showed no emotion as he watched Hunter Fox with no escape. When facing enemies, he rarely had emotional fluctuations. Although the Void Ray Serpent was doomed, he remained very cautious. A steady hand steers the boat for ten thousand years. Complacency often leads to a fall.

Darkwing swooped down from above, its sharp steel claws about to grab the Void Ray Serpent.

The Void Ray Serpent suddenly disappeared into thin air, reappearing more than a hundred yards away. Darkwing's attack missed. Nie Yan frowned. It was an escape skill similar to Flash. He hadn't expected the Void Ray Serpent to have such a special skill.

However, the Void Ray Serpent was just struggling on its last breath; it ultimately couldn't escape!

Nie Yan quickly raised Darkwing's altitude, relentlessly closing in on the Void Ray Serpent, preparing for the next attack.

Just as Hunter Fox was about to despair, countless black dots appeared in the distant sky, at least a hundred. A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart. The Angel Corps reinforcements had arrived!

Hunter Fox quickly controlled the Void Ray Serpent to flee towards them.

The Angel Corps reinforcements rapidly approached.

Nie Yan also noticed the large number of air cavalry on the distant horizon, numbering over a hundred. The Angel Corps reinforcements had arrived! He had been able to defeat those twenty-six flying mounts earlier due to luck. He had launched a fierce attack from the start, intimidating them. One by one, they hesitated, allowing him to calmly kill several flying mounts and frighten the others into retreating. If the twenty-six flying mounts had relentlessly attacked him, Darkwing's strength wouldn't have been enough to withstand it. Let alone a hundred flying mounts!

A relieved smile appeared on Hunter Fox's lips. He was finally saved. Glancing behind him, he thought mockingly, "So what if you're Mad Rogue Nie Yan? Do you still dare to chase after me?"

However, his smile soon froze on his face. Not only did Nie Yan not retreat, but he was also getting closer.

"Courting death!" Hunter Fox said coldly, controlling the Void Ray Serpent to rapidly approach the reinforcements from Angel Corps. They were only about two thousand yards away. At the speed of the flying mounts, the reinforcements could arrive in thirty seconds at most. The reinforcements were personally led by Angelic Dominance, gathering all of Angel Corps' strongest flying mounts. Once Nie Yan was surrounded, he could forget about escaping!

As long as he held on for another twenty-five seconds, the Angel Corps flying mounts would definitely catch up. Hunter Fox was very confident in this. However, old wounds quickly forgotten, he forgot how Nie Yan had just defeated them.

Time flew by like a white horse passing through a crack, twenty-five seconds. This time was extremely short, while life and death often hinged on a moment.

At this moment, Angelic Dominance, sitting on the back of a Tier 5 Wyvern, shouted in the team chat, "Wind Serpent First Squad, Venomous Dragon Fly First Squad, flank from the left and right. Have all the Thunder Eagles circle around behind him to prevent him from escaping. We must take down Darkwing here today!"

He hadn't expected Mad Rogue Nie Yan to dare continue pursuing his subordinates while his air cavalry was encircling him.

"This guy is truly arrogant!" Angelic Dominance thought, drawing the longbow in his hand, adding countless buffs to himself, drawing an arrow, pulling the bowstring to its limit, and shooting towards Nie Yan's direction.

The arrow was like a shooting star, igniting a blazing flame and cutting through the sky.

This was his Tracking Arrow skill, with a range of up to a thousand yards, usable once every five natural days.

As long as he could hold Mad Rogue Nie Yan and Darkwing for a few seconds, Nie Yan could forget about escaping!

Seeing that the Void Ray Serpent in the not-so-distant distance was only about thirty yards away, and Darkwing's altitude was about ten yards higher than the Void Ray Serpent, Nie Yan suddenly accelerated, running faster on Darkwing's back. He activated the skill on the Jumper's Ring and jumped, catapulting himself like a cannonball. A rainbow shadow streaked across the sky, falling rapidly.

Nie Yan rapidly approached the Void Ray Serpent, shooting out a strand of spider silk with his left hand. The spider silk stuck to the Void Ray Serpent's abdomen. He tugged hard, accelerating himself again towards the Void Ray Serpent.

Hunter Fox, riding on the Void Ray Serpent's back, turned around and saw Nie Yan flying through the air towards him. He panicked instantly. He knew what the outcome would be if Mad Rogue Nie Yan got close.

Hunter Fox waved his staff, and a Flamestrike suddenly flew out, the scorching fireball flying towards the spider silk Nie Yan shot out.

With a bang, the fireball burned through Nie Yan's spider silk.

But Hunter Fox was too slow. Nie Yan had already flown next to the Void Ray Serpent. He grabbed the Void Ray Serpent's back with his right hand, flipped over, and landed on the Void Ray Serpent's back. An arrow pierced through the air. Nie Yan sidestepped and slashed it in half with the Zennarde's Sword.

Looking in the direction from which the arrow came, a person stood proudly holding a longbow on the back of a distant Wyvern. Who else could it be but Angelic Dominance!

A flash of murderous intent suddenly flickered in Nie Yan's eyes. In this situation, with the enemy outnumbering him, it was obviously not the time to act rashly.

Banish!

Angelic Dominance's Tracking Arrow had given Hunter Fox time to react. He waved his staff, and a powerful force swept towards Nie Yan.

In the instant he was pushed away, Nie Yan used Death Immunity, blocking Hunter Fox's Banish. Suddenly accelerating, the Zennarde's Sword in his hand slashed across Hunter Fox's throat.

Hunter Fox only felt a figure flash before his eyes. His throat twitched as he prepared to cast Fear Howl, but he opened his mouth but no sound came out. He paused abruptly, his gaze slowly spreading, his face still showing an expression of disbelief.

After Hunter Fox died, Nie Yan slashed the Zennarde's Sword towards the Void Ray Serpent's neck.

The Zennarde's Sword went in hilt-deep, and the Void Ray Serpent let out a shrill cry, shaking violently.

Nie Yan let out a low shout and exerted force, cutting open the wound with the Zennarde's Sword. Fresh blood spurted out like a fountain.

The Void Ray Serpent whimpered and fell straight down from the sky.

Darkwing flew over, and Nie Yan jumped onto Darkwing's back.

Angelic Dominance thought that the Void Ray Serpent would be able to hold out for a few minutes, and that they would be able to surround Darkwing shortly, but he hadn't expected the situation to change so drastically. Nie Yan killed the Void Ray Serpent in full view of everyone, completely ignoring their existence. He was shocked and enraged, and roared loudly, "Move faster! Don't let him escape!"

Angelic Dominance anxiously mobilized his forces to intercept Darkwing, but there was still a distance between them and Nie Yan. They couldn't catch up anymore.

Nie Yan, riding Darkwing, rapidly descended, using this to accelerate, increasing its speed by more than 30%.

Darkwing's speed was already very fast. With this acceleration, it was even faster beyond compare.

The Thunder Eagles, Wind Serpents, and others failed to intercept Darkwing. They watched helplessly as Darkwing moved further and further away from them, the figure on Darkwing's back standing proudly.

Angelic Dominance and the others gave chase for a few minutes, but they couldn't catch up and could only watch Darkwing disappear into the distant horizon.

"Boss, he's getting away!"

"Hunter Fox said that Mad Rogue Nie Yan's Darkwing is a Tier 7 mount." Several players looked at Angelic Dominance cautiously, fearing that Angelic Dominance would get angry.

Angelic Dominance said in a deep voice, "Have the people below start searching the Phoenix Nest, and collect Tier 7 flying mounts with all their strength." His eyes were full of cold killing intent. "Mad Rogue Nie Yan, this debt will be settled with you sooner or later."

"Yes." Several players nodded. Searching the Phoenix Nest at this level was really not cost-effective; the losses would definitely be huge, but no one dared to anger Angelic Dominance at this time.

Nie Yan, riding Darkwing, slowly descended. He had taken down so many flying mounts this time, and Darkwing had only suffered minor injuries. It was still very worthwhile.

Putting Darkwing away, Nie Yan traversed through the misty jungle, heading towards the designated coordinates.

A large number of members of the Nirvana Guild had already gathered there, more than five thousand people. The formation was quite spectacular.

After these members saw Nie Yan, they greeted him excitedly, "Guild Leader Nie Yan, you're here."

"Hello, Guild Leader Nie Yan."

Greetings rose and fell. Nie Yan found that most of these people were old members. He was very familiar with most of them. The top members had already gone to transfer to top-tier classes. These people were slightly weaker, and their levels were all around Level 90. They were led by Ballad of Knights.

"Guild Leader Nie Yan, everyone is here." Ballad of Knights saw Nie Yan and quickly came up and said.

"Okay." Nie Yan nodded. After gathering the people, he could implement his plan.
