Nie Yan’s gaze swept across these flying mounts and finally settled on the escaping Void Manta. Among all the flying mounts, that Void Manta was undoubtedly the highest in rank.
“You want to run? Not so easily!” Nie Yan urged his Dark Winged Dragon to chase.
The Dark Winged Dragon was significantly faster than the Void Manta, and the distance between them quickly closed from five hundred yards to three hundred yards.
Realizing that the Dark Winged Dragon was closing in, Liehu’s expression changed drastically. He didn’t care much about other players’ mounts being destroyed, but the Void Manta was the foundation of his current status within Angel Dominion. Even if it meant a life-or-death battle with Kuang Zai Nieren, he absolutely refused to surrender.
Liehu issued a command to the Void Manta, which suddenly released a thick black mist, covering an area within a fifty-yard radius.
As the Dark Winged Dragon was about to plunge into the black mist, Nie Yan quickly pulled it upward. He noticed the Void Manta flying northward, so the Dark Winged Dragon bypassed the mist and swooped down from above, rapidly closing the distance.
The black mist successfully delayed them momentarily, but Liehu hadn’t expected Nie Yan to catch up so quickly again.
Three hundred yards, two hundred yards—thedistance kept decreasing.
Nie Yan was determined to capture the Void Manta.
The Dark Winged Dragon was too overwhelming, leaving Liehu with almost no way out.
At this moment, he was nearly desperate.
On the back of the Dark Winged Dragon, Nie Yan showed no expression upon seeing Liehu’s desperation. Rarely did he experience emotional fluctuations when facing enemies. Although the Void Manta was undoubtedly doomed, Nie Yan remained cautious. He believed in sailing carefully for ten thousand years, as becoming overly confident often led to stumbling.
The Dark Winged Dragon swooped down from above, its sharp steel claws nearly grasping the Void Manta.
Suddenly, the Void Manta vanished into thin air and reappeared more than a hundred yards away. The Dark Winged Dragon’s attack missed, and Nie Yan furrowed his brows. It was a skill similar to Flash Step for escape. He hadn’t expected the Void Manta to possess such a special ability.
However, this was merely the Void Manta’s last desperate struggle. It still couldn’t escape in the end!
Nie Yan quickly pulled the Dark Winged Dragon upward and relentlessly pursued the Void Manta, preparing for the next attack.
Just as Liehu was nearly in despair, countless black dots appeared in the distant sky—at least over a hundred. A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart. Reinforcements from Angel Dominion had arrived!
Liehu hurriedly maneuvered the Void Manta toward them.
The Angel Dominion reinforcements rapidly approached.
Nie Yan also noticed the large group of aerial riders in the distant sky, numbering at least a hundred. The Angel Dominion reinforcements had arrived! Earlier, he had managed to defeat those twenty-six flying mounts partly due to luck. He had launched an aggressive attack right away, intimidating their riders, causing them to hesitate and allowing him to kill several mounts before scaring off the rest. If those twenty-six mounts had continued attacking relentlessly, even the Dark Winged Dragon would have struggled to withstand them. Not to mention over a hundred flying mounts!
A relieved smile appeared on Liehu’s lips. Finally rescued, he glanced back mockingly, thinking, “You, Kuang Zai Nieren, are so powerful—will you dare to chase us now?”
However, his smile quickly froze. Nie Yan not only failed to retreat but instead drew even closer.
“Seeking death!” Liehu’s voice turned cold as he maneuvered the Void Manta rapidly toward the approaching Angel Dominion reinforcements. They were only about two thousand yards away. At the speed of flying mounts, the reinforcements would arrive in no more than thirty seconds. Leading the reinforcements was none other than Angel Wings himself, gathering all the strongest flying mounts from Angel Dominion. Once Nie Yan was surrounded, he wouldn’t escape!
As long as he held out for another twenty-five seconds, Angel Dominion’s flying mounts would definitely catch up. Liehu was confident about this. However, he had forgotten how Nie Yan had previously routed them.
Time flew by. Twenty-five seconds was a very short period, yet life and death often hinged on such brief moments.
At this moment, Angel Wings, riding a fifth-tier Wyvern, spotted the distant Dark Winged Dragon and shouted in the team chat, “Wind Serpent Squad One and Poisonous Dragonfly Squad One, launch a pincer attack from both sides. All Thunder Eagles should circle around behind him to prevent his escape. Today, we must ensure the Dark Winged Dragon falls here!”
He hadn’t expected that even with his aerial forces closing in, Kuang Zai Nieren would still dare to continue chasing his subordinate.
“This guy is truly arrogant!” Angel Wings thought. Drawing his longbow, he applied numerous enhancement effects to himself, nocked an arrow, drew the bowstring taut, and shot toward Nie Yan’s direction.
The arrow flew like a shooting star, igniting a blazing fireball that tore through the sky.
This was his Tracking Arrow skill, with a range of up to one thousand yards, usable once every five natural days.
As long as he could stall Kuang Zai Nieren and the Dark Winged Dragon for a few seconds, Nie Yan wouldn’t escape!
With the Void Manta only about thirty yards away and the Dark Winged Dragon flying about ten yards higher, Nie Yan suddenly accelerated. He sprinted along the back of the Dark Winged Dragon, activated the Jump Ring skill, and launched himself like a cannonball, leaving a streak of rainbow light across the sky as he rapidly descended.
Nie Yan rapidly approached the Void Manta. With his left hand, he fired a strand of spider silk, which stuck to the Void Manta’s belly. With a sharp tug, he accelerated toward the Void Manta again.
Liehu on the Void Manta looked back and saw Nie Yan flying toward him through the air, instantly panicking. He knew all too well what would happen if Kuang Zai Nieren got close.
Waving his staff, Liehu unleashed a Fireball spell toward the spider silk Nie Yan had fired.
With a loud explosion, the fireball burned through Nie Yan’s spider silk.
However, Liehu was too slow. Nie Yan had already reached the side of the Void Manta. Grabbing its back with his right hand, he flipped his body and landed on the Void Manta’s back. An arrow shot toward him, but Nie Yan sidestepped and slashed it in half with his Zeinald Sword.
Glancing toward the arrow’s origin, Nie Yan saw a figure standing proudly on a Wyvern in the distance, holding a longbow—none other than Angel Wings!
A sudden flash of killing intent crossed Nie Yan’s eyes. In this situation, with enemies outnumbering him, it was clearly not the time for recklessness.
Dispel!
Angel Wings’ tracking arrow had given Liehu reaction time. Waving his staff, Liehu unleashed a powerful repelling force sweeping toward Nie Yan.
In the instant he was pushed away, Nie Yan used a Death Save to block Liehu’s Dispel. Suddenly accelerating, he slashed his Zeinald Sword across Liehu’s throat.
Liehu felt a figure flash past his eyes. His throat twitched as he prepared to cast Fear Howl, but his mouth opened and closed without producing any sound. His expression froze, eyes widening in disbelief.
After killing Liehu, Nie Yan’s Zeinald Sword slashed downward at the Void Manta’s neck.
The Zeinald Sword pierced deep into the Void Manta, which let out a piercing shriek and shuddered.
Nie Yan shouted and applied force, slicing through the Void Manta with his Zeinald Sword in a single cut. Blood spurted like a geyser.
Letting out a mournful cry, the Void Manta plummeted straight down from the sky.
The Dark Winged Dragon flew over, and Nie Yan leapt onto its back.
Angel Wings believed the Void Manta could at least hold out for a few minutes, giving them time to surround the Dark Winged Dragon. However, the situation had changed unexpectedly. Nie Yan had killed the Void Manta in front of everyone, completely disregarding their presence. Shocked and furious, Angel Wings roared, “Hurry up! Don’t let him escape!”
Frustrated, Angel Wings urgently maneuvered his forces to intercept the Dark Winged Dragon, but they were still some distance away and couldn’t catch up.
Nie Yan rode the Dark Winged Dragon as it rapidly descended, using the dive to accelerate, increasing its speed by over 30%.
The Dark Winged Dragon was already extremely fast, and after accelerating, it became incomparably swift.
Thunder Eagles, Wind Serpents, and others failed to intercept the Dark Winged Dragon. Helplessly, they watched as the Dark Winged Dragon pulled further and further away. On its back stood a solitary figure, proud and defiant.
After chasing for several minutes, Angel Wings and his group couldn’t catch up and could only watch the Dark Winged Dragon disappear into the distant horizon.
“Boss, he’s gone far away!”
“According to Liehu, Kuang Zai Nieren’s Dark Winged Dragon is a seventh-tier mount.” Several players cautiously observed Angel Wings, fearing his anger.
Angel Wings solemnly said, “Start searching the Phoenix Nest from below. Focus on gathering seventh-tier flying mounts.” His eyes brimmed with icy killing intent. “Kuang Zai Nieren, I will settle this score with you sooner or later.”
“Yes.” Several players nodded. Searching for the Phoenix Nest at their current level was quite inefficient and would incur heavy losses, but no one dared to provoke Angel Wings at this moment.
Nie Yan slowly descended on his Dark Winged Dragon. This time, he had eliminated numerous flying mounts, and his Dark Winged Dragon had only sustained minor injuries, making it a highly profitable outcome.
After recalling the Dark Winged Dragon, Nie Yan moved through the mist-laden jungle toward the designated coordinates.
There, a large group of Niuren Tribe players had already gathered—over five thousand, forming an impressive force.
Upon seeing Nie Yan, the players excitedly greeted him, “Boss Nieren, you’re here.”
“Hello, Boss Nieren.”
Greetings echoed around him. Nie Yan noticed that most of them were veteran members, many of whom he recognized. The top-tier members had already gone to pursue advanced classes, while these players were slightly less skilled, mostly around level ninety, led by Knight’s Elegy.
“Boss Nieren, everyone is here,” Knight’s Elegy said upon seeing Nie Yan, quickly stepping forward.
“Hmm.” Nie Yan nodded. Once the people were gathered, he could proceed with his plan.
