Chapter 687 - Ambush (1/2)

Nie Yan glanced down at his skill bar. Several skills had already come off cooldown. He activated Gale Step and vanished into stealth.

Seeing Nie Yan disappear from sight, Qin Han’s heart tightened. After butting heads for so long, he knew Nie Yan wouldn’t leave so easily!

Nie Yan’s target was certainly him!

In the blink of an eye, the hunter became the hunted. This sudden reversal of roles put a huge damper on Qin Han’s mood.

Qin Han spotted Nie Yan’s silhouette dashing over from the bone dragon, rapidly closing in on him. This frightening speed caused his heart to tremble.

When Nirvana Flame was after someone’s head, no one could stop him!

Sensing death’s approach, Qin Han’s nerves were stretched staut. He stumbled back into a hurried retreat. With a wave of his staff, a bone wall erupted from the ground to block Nie Yan.

At this moment, Necromancer Vorderman had recovered a bit of his strength. He waved his staff. Black flames rained down from the sky. A raging inferno swept through Nie Yan’s general location.

Several tongues of flames landed on Nie Yan, dispelling his stealth. However, he remained unscathed, protected by Kalenna’s powerful barrier.

Bone walls erupted from all around, trapping Nie Yan inside.

Nie Yan leaped over the walls and then retreated deeper into the forest.

With Necromancer Vorderman nearby, killing Qin Han would be difficult.

The bone dragon circled in the sky, ready to swoop down at any moment.

Nie Yan rapidly ascended a tree and perched himself atop a branch, evading the sight of the bone dragon. He took out his Cavalry Crossbow and pulled the trigger. Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Five bolts flew straight at Qin Han.

Nie Yan had purposefully aimed for Qin Han’s blind spot.

Qin Han felt something off. Turning around and seeing five bolts flying towards him, he hurriedly waved his staff in an attempt to resist.

Before Qin Han could do anything, bone walls erupted around him, protecting him inside.

Put put put! The bolts bounced off the bone wall and fell on the ground.

Following this, all of Nie Yan’s attempts to attack Qin Han were repelled by Necromancer Vorderman. Even though Vorderman couldn’t hurt him because of the barrier, he likewise couldn’t do anything to Qin Han.

Necromancer Vorderman’s reactions were too quick. With his protection, Qin Han was absolutely safe.

Qin Han looked over in Nie Yan’s direction. The two locked eyes.

Qin Han’s lips curved into a sneer. So what if I can’t kill you? You can’t kill me either!

“Vorderman, let’s go,” Qin Han said. Today, the two chapters from the Book of Order had been snatched away by Nie Yan, He would definitely settle this account one day!

The bone dragon flew down toward Vorderman and Qin Han.

“They want to run!” Nie Yan narrowed his eyes, his expression flickering with killing intent.

Qin Han had a total of seven chapters from the Book of Order on him. If Nie Yan could get his hands on them, he could complete another volume. He knew better than anyone else the power contained within the Glimpse of Darkness. Over the past few months, King of the World hadn’t found any clues on the last remaining chapter from volume five of the Book of Order. He had once mentioned that if Nie Yan could find all the chapters from the Book of Order, he would return the five chapters to him. In combination with the chapters up for grabs here today, he would be that much closer to completing the entire book. For the sake of becoming the Supreme Pontiff of the Temple of Light, he definitely had to get the chapters from Qin Han!

Nie Yan initially didn’t have high hopes of collecting all the chapters. However, after listening to Jebiah the Great and obtaining the Great Prophet Medal, this desire was once more reginited in his heart.

If Nie Yan became the Supreme Pontiff of the Temple of Light, Archangel Tallod would personally coronate him. The temple’s forces would move to his will. He would hold true authority. At that time, Asskickers United and all its allied guilds would become truly invincible under his influence. He would have complete control of the Viridian Empire.

In the previous timeline, even the Century Financial Group and Angel Corps didn’t reach such heights. In their prime, they only controlled strongholds. No one had ever ruled over both players and NPCs.

Even though Nie Yan knew the path ahead of him was long, he was determined to follow through with it.

Qin Han and Vorderman climbed up the bone dragon’s back. It flapped its wings and took to the sky.

Just as Qin Han and Vorderman were about to escape, Nie Yan dashed toward the bone dragon. Before it completely left the ground, he was already within eight meters of it. He shot out a web line at its feet and swung toward it.

Nie Yan landed on the bone dragon’s shin bone and held on tightly.

The bone dragon didn’t notice Nie Yan. Neither did Necromancer Vorderman or Qin Han.
