Chapter 697 - Forbidden Lightning Magic (1/2)

Nie Yan swiftly retreated. At the same time, his gaze locked onto the arrows flying toward him.

With a well-timed slash, Nie Yan knocked three arrows out the air.

The remaining three arrows were about to hit Nie Yan. In this life or death moment, he activated Shadow Waltz.

Ding ding ding! After striking Nie Yan, the three arrows fell to the ground, blocked by the brief invincibility from Shadow Waltz.

This was Nie Yan’s first time dealing with Soaring Angel’s tracking arrow ability, and he had wasted two life-saving skills. This kind of outcome was far from satisfactory.

While Nie Yan was preoccupied evading Soaring Angel’s arrows, the other players from Angel Corps also jumped into action.

Over a dozen players closed in on Nie Yan. They were all in groups of five. The Priests waved their staffs, sending orbs of light into the sky which illuminated the ground below. The Paladins also activated their Eyes of the Divine.

“Nirvana Flame is over there!”

“Damn, he’s so fast!”

Just as they discovered Nie Yan, they lost track of him again!

Nie Yan glanced back at the enemy. These Angel Corps players were really something. They stuck to parties of five, and every member was no more than five meters from each other. Additionally, each group had a Priest and Paladin with them. It was very difficult to find an opening to attack. He was familiar with many of these players. In the previous timeline, they were all heaven defying, world famous experts of Angel Corps. He had watched many of their videos countless times over and knew they were a tough bunch to deal with.

Elsewhere in the square, Stone Splitter and three other Warriors surrounded Paladin Lafus, locking him down and preventing him from moving.

The six Mages swiftly surrounded Lil’ Gold, each of them taking a different point. Leylines lit up on the ground, forming an enormous hexagram formation.

Seeing the scene in the distance, Nie Yan’s heart trembled. Those Mages wanted to lock down Lil’ Gold with a Hexagram Binding Formation!

He was familiar with the might of this formation. If it was used correctly, it could lock down a boss for up to half an hour!

Just as the formation was about to take shape, Nie Yan had Lil’ Gold charge forward and swipe down at one of the Mages with his claws.

Afraid for his life, the Mage hurriedly blinked away.

The formation was broken for the time being.

The six Mages hurriedly shifted their positions, creating another hexagram formation on the ground.

One of the advantages of this formation was that it was quite flexible.

Lil’ Gold’s attack struck air. He let out a ferocious roar and spewed out scorching hot flames.

A Mage chanted out an incantation. Just as he was about to complete the formation with the others, Lil’ Gold caught him off guard with the Dragon Breath. He had no time to dodge.

BANG! The Mage was sent flying by the breath attack before crashing into the ground.

Lil’ Gold’s frightening attacks weren’t something these Mages could endure.

“Dammit! Lime died. Rainbow, you’re up!” Luo Bai anxiously called.

Immediately, another Mage ran up and took his fallen comrade’s place. This time they didn’t dare to be so careless. Lil’ Gold’s powerful attacks left them shaking in their boots. They definitely couldn’t allow themselves to be hit by his Dragon Breath, or else they would be killed without a shadow of a doubt!

The six Mages adjusted their positions again. After 20 seconds, a golden formation formed around Lil’ Gold. It slowly shrank before binding him in place, leaving him unable to move.

「Boss! We locked down the Golden Dragon, but Lime ended up dying,」Luo Bai reported.

「What happened? Stick to the plan and withdraw,」Soaring Angel said in a depressed tone. They had actually lost a person. Nie Yan could still revive his Golden Dragon. All he would take was a slight loss in loyalty, which could quickly be raised back up. On the other hand, they had lost a top expert who would require countless hours of grinding to regain the experience lost. The trade off definitely wasn’t worth it.

After completing the formation, the Mages quickly retreated. Just as Nie Yan was about to order Lil’ Gold to break out of the formation, he heard several sharp sounds in the air. His face paled. As he looked up, he saw five cannons firing at the square.
