Chapter 157 Fierce Battle

The two flew rapidly between the dense buildings of the City of Sin, with Anguine Angel's arrows raining down one after another.

Nie Yan dodged swiftly, hearing explosions constantly behind him.

Anguine Angel kept close behind Nie Yan. With the Wings of Soaring equipped, his movement speed was increased by 300%. Even so, he could only barely keep up with Nie Yan, who was going at full speed. This infuriated him. What the hell was this speed?!

None of the arrows he shot hit Nie Yan. Watching arrow after arrow miss its mark, his heart bled. These arrows had been specially enchanted with blast magic arrays. Each arrow cost as much as five or six hundred gold coins, and he had only made a little over two hundred of them in total. Whenever his arrows were about to hit Nie Yan, it was as if Nie Yan had eyes in the back of his head, always managing to dodge at the last moment.

Nie Yan deliberately chose narrow alleys to travel through, which greatly hindered Anguine Angel's flight.

As he was flying, he suddenly noticed that the alley ahead of Nie Yan was filled with stalls and crowded with pedestrians, causing a great congestion. A sinister smile appeared on his lips. "Let's see where you can run this time!" He roared softly and cast Rapid Fire on himself, drawing three arrows from his back, nocking them on the string, and *swoosh, swoosh, swoosh*, three arrows shot out. As soon as the three arrows had been fired, he drew another three arrows with lightning speed, *swoosh, swoosh, swoosh*. Three times in a row, nine arrows streaked through the air in three straight lines.

Nie Yan looked up into the distance and saw that the alley ahead was full of people. The street was very chaotic, with many NPCs setting up stalls on both sides and many teams of players in the middle, blocking the road.

Dead end!

Nie Yan's heart sank. This was a bit troublesome.

The arrows were whistling in from behind. Just by the sound of the wind, Nie Yan could determine the distance and direction of the arrows.

With people everywhere in front and no way out behind, Nie Yan gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran towards the direction from which Anguine Angel was flying.

Three arrows came head-on. Nie Yan leaped into the air, somersaulted, and jumped away. *Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh*, the three arrows flew past Nie Yan's chest.

He had barely dodged the three arrows when six more arrows came hurtling down. Nie Yan moved his feet, creating a series of afterimages—the Shadow Dance skill!

*Boom, boom, boom*, three arrows shot into the crowd, exploding and blasting away more than twenty players and two NPCs.

The crowd was thrown into an uproar, with curses echoing everywhere.

"Damn it, who the hell did that!"

They turned their heads and saw two people fighting. One was Nie Yan, and the other was Anguine Angel. They immediately lost their temper. Who among them would dare to cause trouble for these two people? These two were the most powerful people in the entire Righteous Faction!

They suddenly caught sight of several more arrows shooting towards them, and their expressions changed drastically as they scattered in all directions.

Nie Yan barely dodged Anguine Angel's attack using Phantom Steps. Hearing the explosions behind him, he could imagine what the situation was like.

Anguine Angel paused, not expecting that the Mad Rogue Nie Yan had still managed to dodge it!

Just as he was preparing to draw more arrows and continue shooting, Nie Yan jumped up, his whole body launching like a cannonball. Reaching a height of more than ten yards, he stuck to the building beside him like a gecko. After a moment, he launched again, flying towards Anguine Angel.

Seeing Nie Yan flying towards him at an astonishing speed, Anguine Angel's heart tightened. His first reaction was to dodge! Anguine Angel immediately flapped his wings, turned, and flew away, occasionally turning back to shoot arrows.

After being attacked by so many arrows, only two or three out of ten players had survived. The alley was in complete chaos, with deep pits left on the ground and debris scattered everywhere. The survivors were all terrified. What kind of arrows were these? Their attack power was too terrifying!

They looked up and saw two figures streaking across the sky. Anguine Angel flapped his wings like lightning, occasionally shooting arrows. Wherever these arrows hit, they caused astonishing explosions. As for Nie Yan, he used jumps, climbs, spider silk, and other means to streak quickly between the buildings on both sides of the alley. The constantly jumping figure was dazzling to the eye. Although he had no wings, he was more agile than those without wings. What was even more shocking was that this guy could still make dodging movements in the air, evading Anguine Angel's arrows.

These two freaks! These players had truly witnessed combat at that level! This was a height they could only ever look up to!

As Nie Yan was chasing Anguine Angel, a system notification rang.

System: Your Mirror Thief has died.

Glancing at the Shadow Assassin's status page, the Shadow Assassin had killed thirteen people before going down. Worth it!

Those players from Angel Corps who had put in so much effort and sacrificed more than a dozen people to kill it only took down a mirror image. He wondered what their expressions would be like when they found out.

Anguine Angel had obviously also learned about the Shadow Assassin's death. The target had been identified. The one here was Mad Rogue Nie Yan!

The battle became more intense, and the surrounding buildings collapsed under the barrage of Anguine Angel's arrows.

Although Nie Yan's movements were fast, he wasn't as agile as Anguine Angel, who had wings, so he couldn't catch up with Anguine Angel for the time being.

On the other side of the City of Sin, an Orc Warrior in golden armor was running wildly through an alley. He saw more than twenty people from Angel Corps gathered together in front and stopped in front of them.

"Where's Angel Leader?" the Orc Warrior asked.

"Sky Evil Leader, Angel Leader is chasing after Mad Rogue Nie Yan right now. We don't know how it's going," a Mage said.

Hearing the Mage's words, the people from Angel Corps couldn't help but take a few more glances at Tian Xie (Sky Evil). Within Angel Corps, Tian Xie was a very mysterious person who rarely showed his face. Many of them had only heard of Tian Xie, but rarely met him, and knew nothing about Tian Xie himself.

Tian Xie frowned when he heard the Mage's words and said in a deep voice, "Everyone summon your flying mounts and follow me!" He was a little worried that Anguine Angel might have an accident. Mad Rogue Nie Yan could not be judged by common sense.

"Yes!" The crowd responded in unison.

Tian Xie's status within Angel Corps was very high. Even Anguine Angel was polite to him, and no one else dared to say anything.

Everyone summoned their flying mounts one after another. More than twenty flying mounts took off one after another and flew towards the direction where Nie Yan and Anguine Angel were.

Nie Yan gradually closed in, only five or six yards away from Anguine Angel. He pressed against the wall and kicked off hard, suddenly accelerating and rapidly approaching Anguine Angel's back. Backstab!

Nie Yan suddenly lunged forward a few yards, his right-hand dagger stabbing towards the back of Anguine Angel's head.

Go to hell! Nie Yan snorted coldly, his dagger as fast as lightning.

Just at this critical moment, Anguine Angel suddenly turned around, a short sword appearing in his right hand at some point, and parried.

With a crisp *clang*, the Bloodthirsty Dagger in Nie Yan's hand collided with Anguine Angel's short sword, and Anguine Angel was knocked away by the massive force coming from the side.

Nie Yan began to fall due to gravity.

This guy has some tricks, actually using a short sword to parry his attack!

As Anguine Angel retreated, he looked over here. The two met eyes, their gazes cold.

They both understood that if they couldn't stay calm, it would be impossible to defeat their opponent.

Anguine Angel flapped his wings to stabilize his body, and took the opportunity to shoot three arrows with his longbow.

As Nie Yan fell, he grabbed the eaves of a nearby house and kicked off with both feet, dodging the three arrows that came flying at him, and pounced towards Anguine Angel again.

Seeing Nie Yan pouncing at him, Anguine Angel flapped his wings again and retreated.

Just as Nie Yan was chasing Anguine Angel, more than twenty flying mounts circled overhead.

Nie Yan looked up and saw the flying mounts overhead blotting out the sky. Fortunately, he and Anguine Angel were fighting in a small space near several buildings, and the flying mounts above couldn't get down!

Nie Yan ignored the flying mounts above and continued to chase Anguine Angel relentlessly.

The Orc Warrior Tian Xie stood on the head of a giant blue bat, looking down. Seeing that Anguine Angel was being suppressed by Nie Yan, he said in a deep voice in the team chat, "All Mages and Dark Hunters, go down and support Angel Leader!"

After hearing Tian Xie's order, three Mages and one Dark Hunter jumped off their respective flying mounts.

"Be careful, understand that your opponent is Mad Rogue Nie Yan!" Tian Xie said.

"Understood!"

The three Mages and one Dark Hunter landed on the roofs of several buildings at the same time, all standing still. The three Mages waved their staffs, and the surrounding magical elements quickly became restless. The Dark Hunter raised the longbow in his hand, locked his target on Nie Yan, who was entangled with Anguine Angel, and shot three arrows.

Nie Yan was chasing Anguine Angel when he caught sight of four figures landing on the tops of the surrounding buildings. His heart tightened. Anguine Angel alone was difficult enough to deal with, but now there were three more Mages and a Dark Hunter joining in. The advantage he had finally gained with his strength was now useless.

The other side had the advantage in numbers, and this Anguine Angel's strength was also much greater than before. He should retreat first.

Nie Yan jumped down and fell rapidly, disengaging from Anguine Angel.

When Anguine Angel and the others saw that Nie Yan was about to escape, they immediately chased after him. Streams of magic and arrows streaked across the sky, flying towards Nie Yan.

Nie Yan used a Divine Descent skill, enduring fifteen spells and six arrows. Damage numbers of five to six thousand floated above his head. That was the damage from Anguine Angel's and the Dark Hunter's arrows. Magic was completely ineffective against Nie Yan. Even the explosions attached to Anguine Angel's arrows had no effect.

After their attacks hit Nie Yan, everyone was stunned.

"Damn, what kind of defense does this guy have? My attack only does more than five thousand damage!"

"This guy has more than fifty thousand health!"

"My magic attacks are ineffective. He has magic immunity activated!"
