Chapter 522: Wind Serpent!!!

After Stunning Shattered Bone Cleaver with a critical strike, Yi Chui Ding Qing unleashed massive damage, killing Shattered Bone Cleaver instantly. With her output, eliminating a rogue only took a few seconds.

As soon as Shattered Bone Cleaver fell, a barrage of spells from nearby mages flew toward Yi Chui Ding Qing.

Yi Chui Ding Qing activated Wind Walk, vanishing from the sight of those players.

“Don’t let her escape! Kill her!” Looking at Shattered Bone Cleaver’s corpse on the ground, Kuang Fa shouted furiously.

A series of Light spells soared into the sky, pouring down in streams of white light. Yi Chui Ding Qing was sprinting rapidly outward, her figure flashing past, yet still exposed by the Light spells. A barrage of magic struck Yi Chui Ding Qing, draining most of her health. Just as her health was nearly depleted, Yi Chui Ding Qing used a random teleportation scroll and vanished from the spot.

In the end, Yi Chui Ding Qing still managed to escape! Kuang Fa couldn’t help but curse. He would never dare to be so careless again.

Had the attacker been Kuang Zei Nian, he might have already died!

“Left side, all mages, attack!” Kuang Fa’s gaze swept toward several players from the Bull Tribe charging together in the distance. Dozens of spells struck, sending several Bull Tribe players flying.

The losses on both sides grew increasingly severe. Bull Tribe players were engaged in a bitter battle, with casualties rising rapidly.

Tang Yao saw the battle turning increasingly unfavorable for Bull Tribe. At this rate, they would soon be wiped out.

“Dao Guang, cover me, I need to summon the Umbral Thunder Eagle!” Tang Yao shouted in the party chat. Summoning the Umbral Thunder Eagle required a certain amount of time, and if he was interrupted during that period, the summoning would be canceled.

Upon hearing Tang Yao’s words, Cui Can Dao Guang, Shui Se Yan Tou, and others immediately took defensive positions near Tang Yao, ready to eliminate anyone who dared approach.

After Tang Yao eliminated three Mage Alliance players with three spells in succession, he began chanting incantations.

Cui Can Dao Guang, Shui Se Yan Tou, and others guarded around Tang Yao, not daring to stray too far. They could not allow anyone to approach him. If any nearby players cast spells, they either blocked the attacks with their bodies or rushed forward to interrupt them.

Seeing Tang Yao beginning to summon his flying mount, Kuang Fa’s lips curled into a slight smile. The show was finally about to begin. He sent a message to one of his trusted allies in the party chat, preparing to deal with Yao Zi’s flying mount!

Upon receiving the message, the subordinate immediately started making arrangements.

Not knowing how long had passed, the final syllable was chanted. A massive Umbral Thunder Eagle appeared in the vision of Mage Alliance and Shen Guang Hu players. This Umbral Thunder Eagle was huge, with a wingspan of more than five yards. When it spread its wings, it seemed to block out the sky.

Nearby Mage Alliance and Shen Guang Hu players panicked and retreated.

“It’s Yao Zi’s flying mount!”

“So big!”

Tang Yao mounted the back of the Umbral Thunder Eagle. As the eagle flapped its wings, a powerful gust of wind instantly blew several Mage Alliance and Shen Guang Hu players away, interrupting the spells of several casting mages.

With a piercing cry, the Umbral Thunder Eagle took off from the ground.

Standing on the back of the Umbral Thunder Eagle, Tang Yao unleashed spells like a machine gun, mowing down a swath of enemies.

The Umbral Thunder Eagle circled in the sky before diving down, its claws taking out five or six Mage Alliance players in one sweep.

Mage Alliance and Shen Guang Hu players were thrown into panic, hastily retreating. Bull Tribe players, seeing the arrival of the Umbral Thunder Eagle, were greatly encouraged in morale.

“Boss Yao Zi has summoned the Umbral Thunder Eagle!”

“Everyone, kill all the Mage Alliance and Shen Guang Hu bastards!”

Bull Tribe players charged furiously. Mage Alliance and Shen Guang Hu players were momentarily terrified, but they were all elite-level experts and would not lose their fighting spirit so easily. Running away would only result in even worse deaths. They decided to fight to the death. They still maintained an orderly defense against Bull Tribe players. The casualty ratio between the two sides was roughly maintained at 1:5.

With the Umbral Thunder Eagle on the battlefield, it was practically an invincible behemoth. Countless spells struck the eagle, yet its health barely decreased. Those daring to attack the Umbral Thunder Eagle quickly found their combat effectiveness dismantled.

After eliminating a portion of Mage Alliance players, Tang Yao locked his sights on Kuang Fa, who was commanding the battle from a distant hilltop. As the saying goes, capture the bandit king first. If Kuang Fa was eliminated first, Mage Alliance and Shen Guang Hu players would likely lose their fighting spirit.

Tang Yao urged the Umbral Thunder Eagle to dive toward Kuang Fa’s location.

The black bird in the sky grew closer. Kuang Fa seemed to see the fierce expression on Tang Yao’s face, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips. Finally, he had arrived. He had been waiting for a long time.

The two locked eyes, sparks flying.

As the Umbral Thunder Eagle was about to pounce on Kuang Fa, Kuang Fa suddenly blinked away, teleporting about fifty yards.

With a thunderous crash, the Umbral Thunder Eagle’s claws struck the ground, leaving a deep pit. Several nearby Mage Alliance players were instantly killed.

Kuang Fa had dodged. Tang Yao quickly maneuvered the Umbral Thunder Eagle into the air, chasing after him. Kuang Fa dashed toward the distant forest.

Tang Yao would never allow Kuang Fa to escape so easily. He immediately urged the Umbral Thunder Eagle to pursue.

Within just dozens of seconds, the two were racing away, one fleeing and one chasing. Kuang Fa had cast the rare spell Wind Acceleration, pushing his speed to the limit.

“Are you ready yet?” Kuang Fa anxiously asked in the party chat. If his team still hadn’t responded in another dozen seconds, he would be finished!

“Boss, we’re ready!” A Mage Alliance player replied in the party chat.

“Die!” Tang Yao coldly shouted, urging the Umbral Thunder Eagle to suddenly accelerate. The eagle dove downward, its claws as sharp as steel blades. Kuang Fa was about to perish beneath the eagle’s claws.

The Umbral Thunder Eagle’s claws drew closer to Kuang Fa. At this critical moment, Tang Yao suddenly heard a series of whistling sounds from his right, causing his heart to race. Looking toward the dense forest on the right, he saw shadowy figures. Tang Yao had been so focused on killing Kuang Fa that he hadn’t considered the possibility of an ambush in the nearby forest.

These players were rogues, hiding in the forest using stealth until Tang Yao entered their attack range, at which point they launched their assault.

The players were frantically hurling something at Tang Yao. In midair, cold glints of green light flashed. Tang Yao looked closely and was startled. These were throwing axes, roughly arm-sized, with long handles and sharp iron blades in front, extremely sharp. Even more terrifying was the poison smeared on them.

Throwing axes were relatively rare items, causing massive damage. Thrown weapons were the bane of flying mounts. Normally, flying mounts flew at an altitude of more than thirty yards, making such weapons irrelevant. However, now Tang Yao had lowered the Umbral Thunder Eagle’s altitude to less than five yards above the ground in pursuit of Kuang Fa, entering the range of the throwing axes.

Being hit by so many throwing axes would definitely severely injure the Umbral Thunder Eagle.

Flying mounts’ injuries are categorized into light, moderate, and severe. Light injuries heal automatically within a few hours. If a mount sustains severe injuries, it’s not as simple as a regular player drinking a health potion. They require specific herbs for treatment and may take several days to recover. If left untreated, severe injuries can even lead to death. Once a flying mount dies, it usually cannot be resurrected.

Tang Yao quickly directed the Umbral Thunder Eagle to veer sideways, performing a high-difficulty aerial evasion maneuver.

Whoosh! Dozens of throwing axes flew past Tang Yao. Two struck the Umbral Thunder Eagle, which let out a pained cry, blood splattering. One axe narrowly missed Tang Yao’s cheek, causing him to break into a cold sweat.

So dangerous!

The Umbral Thunder Eagle was only hit by two axes, sustaining only a minor injury and no immediate danger.

Tang Yao immediately realized this was an ambush set up by Mage Alliance and Shen Guang Hu players. He wasn’t foolish. Understanding this was a trap, he abandoned his pursuit of Kuang Fa and prepared to escape on the Umbral Thunder Eagle. The poison on the two axes was rapidly spreading, slightly affecting the eagle’s movement speed, but the impact was minimal.

Kuang Fa had expected this volley of throwing axes to hit over a dozen, or even more. He believed the Umbral Thunder Eagle would at least sustain moderate injuries, significantly reducing its mobility, giving them a chance to eliminate the eagle. He hadn’t expected Tang Yao to perform a high-difficulty evasion maneuver, dodging many axes. Out of so many thrown axes, only two hit.

“Everyone, prepare your throwing axes! Don’t let him escape! We must bring him down!” Kuang Fa anxiously shouted among the trees. This was a rare opportunity to eliminate the Umbral Thunder Eagle, and he absolutely couldn’t let it slip away!

Twenty-six throwing axe users from Mage Alliance and Shen Guang Hu swiftly pursued the Umbral Thunder Eagle. Their throwing axes required a cooldown period and couldn’t be used immediately. Moreover, they had limited numbers, only capable of two volleys.

There wasn’t enough time—the Umbral Thunder Eagle was about to escape! Kuang Fa was extremely anxious.

As Tang Yao was preparing to flee on the Umbral Thunder Eagle, he suddenly sensed something amiss in the surrounding air. The trees rustled, and strange sounds came from afar.

“What’s going on?” Kuang Fa asked in confusion in the party chat.

Could it be Bull Tribe had reinforcements arriving?

“We don’t know!”

They looked toward the distant forest canopy, where a massive flying pet appeared in their vision. This flying pet had a long, serpentine body, coiling in the air, with two pairs of transparent wings like a dragonfly, continuously flapping.

“It’s a Wind Serpent!” someone from Mage Alliance exclaimed.
