Chapter 1 The Heat

Nie Yan replaced the Weaver's Ring, the Spiderweb Art Ring, and the Jumper's Ring. He stroked the blade of the Zennarde's Sword. The black flames danced unceasingly, as hot as Nie Yan's mood at the moment.

Although the Darkwing Dragon was strong, it was still very difficult to face twenty-six flying mounts at the same time. Many flying mounts had very strong talent abilities. Once a fight broke out, he couldn't guarantee he would win.

If he waited a little longer, it would be even more troublesome when Angel Corps' reinforcements arrived.

Nie Yan issued an instruction to the Darkwing Dragon. The Darkwing Dragon let out a low dragon roar, flapped its wings, and suddenly rose in altitude, pouncing on one of Angel Corps' flying mounts.

The Darkwing Dragon's powerful dragon might was released, and all the low-level flying mounts on Angel Corps' side were panicked and fled in all directions.

The Angel Corps crowd quickly stabilized the flying mounts under their feet.

Seeing Nie Yan make his move, Hunter Fox revealed a strange smile. Finally, it came. He had his men shout those words earlier to force Nie Yan to make the first move!

"Don't panic, he can't beat us alone. Xiao Feng, Fantuan, you two attack from the flanks. Hualian, Mingyun, Feimao, attack from the front," Hunter Fox calmly commanded.

After hearing Hunter Fox's words, those players exchanged glances. Although they were afraid of Nie Yan and the Darkwing Dragon, and they knew in their hearts that they were cannon fodder, they still had to bite the bullet and go up. They were Angel Corps people, and if they didn't listen to Hunter Fox at this time, they could forget about staying in Angel Corps.

Five flying mounts pounced on Nie Yan from all directions. Nie Yan glanced at them, three Venomous Dragonflies and two Wind Serpents. It was impossible to kill the Darkwing Dragon with these low-level creatures. They were just some cannon fodder to consume the Darkwing Dragon's stamina.

Nie Yan ignored them and set his sights on a griffon, manipulating the Darkwing Dragon to pounce.

The player riding on the griffon's back saw the huge Darkwing Dragon pouncing down from the sky, its giant claws, like refined steel, grabbing down. He panicked all of a sudden. If the griffon was caught, it would almost certainly die.

"Don't run! Attack the Darkwing Dragon!" Hunter Fox shouted in the team chat.

After all, the griffon didn't belong to Hunter Fox, so Hunter Fox wouldn't feel bad about it, but as the owner of the griffon, how could he be willing to let the griffon die in vain! The player riding on the griffon's back quickly turned the griffon around and ran away, still hoping to save the griffon.

But how could the griffon's speed compare to the Darkwing Dragon's!

The griffon had just spread its wings and flapped them a few times when the Darkwing Dragon had already pounced. Its steel claws grabbed onto the griffon's wings. The griffon let out a miserable cry. The Darkwing Dragon's claws were deeply embedded in its wings, tearing them apart.

The griffon screamed miserably, blood splattering, a tragic scene.

If the player on the griffon's back had been able to disregard everything and command the griffon to counterattack the Darkwing Dragon when it pounced down, although he could not have avoided the fate of death, he could at least have caused some damage to the Darkwing Dragon. But people are selfish, and the owner of the griffon was unwilling to let his griffon die like this, so his subconscious first action was to run away!

This was why Nie Yan dared to face a player team composed of twenty-six flying mounts, but was unwilling to provoke those gregarious flying creatures.

"Damn, what an idiot!" Hunter Fox couldn't help but curse when he saw this situation.

This griffon died without any value at all!

The powerful Darkwing Dragon tore the griffon apart with its steel claws.

"The first one!" Nie Yan smiled coldly, his killing intent awe-inspiring.

Watching the griffon's body being torn to pieces, the Angel Corps players felt a chill run down their backs. This Darkwing Dragon was too terrifying.

"Hunter Fox, it's a Tier 7 flying mount!" an Angel Corps member said in the team chat.

Hunter Fox's heart skipped a beat. Did Nirvanic Flame's Darkwing Dragon advance in rank?

How difficult it was for a flying mount to advance in rank. Generally, flying mounts had to consume crystal cores to advance, which meant that to cultivate a high-level flying mount, countless flying mounts had to be sacrificed. It was very difficult for ordinary Tier 3 and 4 flying mounts to advance, let alone the original Tier 6 Darkwing Dragon! How exactly did Nirvanic Flame do it!

Now was obviously not the time to investigate this question. The Darkwing Dragon's advancement to a Tier 7 creature undoubtedly made it much more difficult for them to deal with the Darkwing Dragon.

Just as Nie Yan's Darkwing Dragon was pouncing on the griffon, five flying mounts pounced over. Under Nie Yan's control, the Darkwing Dragon's altitude suddenly dropped, passing by these flying mounts.

As the Darkwing Dragon dodged these five flying mounts, Hunter Fox was seen manipulating the Void Ray to quickly fly past from the side. The Void Ray opened its mouth and spat out a thick gray lightning bolt, blasting towards the Darkwing Dragon.

Void Lightning!

The Darkwing Dragon was dodging those flying mounts and simply didn't have enough space to dodge the Void Lightning. Hunter Fox timed it very well. Seeing the Void Lightning shoot over, Nie Yan's heart sank.

There was no way, he could only take it head-on!

With a bang, the lightning blasted onto the Darkwing Dragon's scales, crackling and flashing, but it stopped after a moment.

The Darkwing Dragon still acted as usual, unaffected.

Nie Yan suddenly remembered that the Darkwing Dragon had a certain magic immunity effect, which could exempt it from magic to a certain extent.

Hunter Fox saw the Void Ray's Void Lightning hit the Darkwing Dragon and thought that the Void Lightning could at least cause minor damage to the Darkwing Dragon, so that the other flying mounts could take the opportunity to beat a dog in the water, but he didn't expect that the Void Lightning wouldn't hurt the Darkwing Dragon at all, and he was dumbfounded.

In the face of absolute power, the Void Ray's attack seemed a little ridiculous.

The Darkwing Dragon performed a rapid aerial roll, pounced on a Wind Serpent, grabbed its abdomen, and the Wind Serpent immediately convulsed and coiled around the Darkwing Dragon's claws, like a rope, coiling around the Darkwing Dragon's claws. The Darkwing Dragon struggled violently, and the Wind Serpent's body broke into segments of fragments, and blood spurted out.

What terrifying power!

This was a Tier 7 creature!

Nie Yan also clearly felt that the Darkwing Dragon's strength had almost doubled compared to Tier 6, and it was simply invincible.

Watching the surrounding flying mounts pounce up, the Darkwing Dragon forcibly cut a bloody path, tearing two flying mounts apart. Although it suffered some minor injuries, the wounds healed quickly, leaving no trace.

Seeing a griffon pounce from the side, Nie Yan shot out a strand of spider silk with his left hand, sticking to the feathers of the griffon, and his body flew towards the griffon like a cannonball.

"He's coming over, kill him!" the mage sitting on the griffon's back shouted in horror.

The surrounding mages sprayed magic towards Nie Yan, but all of them missed. Nie Yan's speed was too fast.

"The sixth one!" Nie Yan's body had already reached the griffon's abdomen, and he had a bone spur in his hand, which he stabbed fiercely into the griffon's heart.

With a puff, a pillar of blood spurted out, the griffon let out a miserable scream, struggling non-stop, and fell downwards, throwing the mage on its back out.

Nie Yan jumped down and landed on the head of a Venomous Dragonfly below. Before the Venomous Dragonfly and the player on its back could react, he took out another bone spur from his backpack and stabbed it into the Venomous Dragonfly's eyes.

The Venomous Dragonfly was immediately in so much pain that it twisted and hesitated, rolling in the air non-stop. A foul-smelling liquid splattered on Nie Yan's body, and damage values immediately floated above Nie Yan's head. Nie Yan activated the skill on the Jumper's Ring, jumped up, and drank a bottle of Master-level Antidote Potion.

The poison effect was dispelled, and Nie Yan landed steadily on the Darkwing Dragon's back.

The Darkwing Dragon quickly side-flew, dodging a Black Hawk's pounce, but it was still scratched by its claws.

The Black Hawk's claws swept across the Darkwing Dragon's abdomen, but it only left a tiny wound on the Darkwing Dragon's abdomen, not causing much damage at all. This wound also healed directly within a few seconds.

The Angel Corps players became more and more depressed as they fought. The Darkwing Dragon was too powerful, and the magic attacks were basically ineffective against the Darkwing Dragon. Ordinary dragon creatures had very strong magic defense abilities, and the Darkwing Dragon was even more so. Their magic attacks were basically all misses. As for the physical attacks, the Tier 4 flying mounts were a full three tiers behind the Darkwing Dragon. Even if there was a little bit of attack damage, it was like tickling, and the Darkwing Dragon had a very strong self-recovery ability.

The Darkwing Dragon was simply beating them to the point where they had no temper!

The casualties on Angel Corps' side were increasing. Seven of the twenty-six flying mounts had already died, and another three were seriously injured and six were lightly injured. The Darkwing Dragon, after taking more than twenty attacks, was still only slightly injured. It was almost hopeless to kill the Darkwing Dragon.

The Darkwing Dragon's scales were covered with mottled blood stains, blood rain was floating, and a strong bloody smell spread out.

Watching the blood-stained, brave, and unparalleled Darkwing Dragon pounce towards them, the Angel Corps players didn't even have the thought of resisting, and they fled in all directions with their minds and souls lost.

The Angel Corps side lost its resistance, and Nie Yan even more unscrupulously pursued and killed these flying mounts. Seeing a Wind Serpent running away, he shot out a strand of spider silk with his left hand again, flying through the sky and landing on its back. The bone spur accurately stabbed into its vital point.

Generally, if it was stabbed by a bone spur, it would at least suffer minor injuries. The more it struggled, the more the wound would expand, and in the end, it could even cause serious injuries, causing the flying mount to completely lose its combat power.

The arcane mage on the Wind Serpent's back retreated in horror when he saw Nie Yan approaching. Nie Yan's Zennarde's Sword slashed across, and a black firelight swept across the arcane mage's neck, instantly killing him!

Seeing that the situation had completely collapsed, Hunter Fox helplessly had to ride the Void Ray and evacuate, fleeing to the east.
