Chapter 158 Total Suppression

In battle, a twenty-yard difference in range between ranged classes, with similar speeds, is a world of difference. If your range is short, no matter how high your magic damage is, it's useless. Moreover, Qin Han and Nie Yan were not even in the same league in terms of speed.

A twenty-yard distance could achieve complete suppression. Nie Yan revealed a playful smile, thinking, *Let's see how I play you to death this time.*

Nie Yan ran swiftly, moving like a startled rabbit. He decisively and skillfully drew arrows from his backpack, loaded them onto the crossbow, raised the Riding Crossbow, completed loading within 3 seconds, aimed at Qin Han, and then pulled the trigger.

The Riding Crossbow had a very good advantage, which was its extremely high stability while moving. As long as the distance was calculated correctly, rapid movement would not affect the accuracy of the Riding Crossbow.

Arrows streaked like shooting stars, drawing straight trajectories across the sky as they shot towards Qin Han.

Qin Han used an Arcane Gate to dodge five incoming arrows, but before he could steady himself, another wave of arrows came flying.

Under Nie Yan's powerful ranged firepower, Qin Han's rows of powerful skills on his skill bar became mere decorations.

At first, Qin Han could maintain a very rhythmic dodge, but later, as he used up most of his Blink and other evasion skills, his dodging became much more awkward. Seeing five arrows flying towards him and having no skills left, he had to roll away in a clumsy manner.

*Thud, thud, thud,* the five arrows pierced the ground about five yards away from him.

Just as he was about to get up, another five arrows shot towards him, and he quickly rolled away again to dodge.

Qin Han cursed inwardly, "Damn it, what kind of firing rate is this!"

Nie Yan had high agility and attack speed. Coupled with the greatly enhanced performance of the Modified Dullahan Doro's Riding Crossbow, Nie Yan's firing rate when using the Riding Crossbow was simply abnormal.

The fastest firing rate of the Riding Crossbow could reach an attack interval of 0.37 seconds. Nie Yan's agility and attack speed were not high enough, so he couldn't reach this limit. When using the Riding Crossbow, he could reach 1.87 seconds at the fastest, and it was basically stable in the 2.5-2.9 second range. Even so, it was quite terrifying. As the number of reloads increased, Nie Yan's movements became more and more skilled, and the attack interval gradually shortened.

Qin Han had to face five incoming arrows every two to three seconds, and it was already very difficult for him to dodge until now.

Qin Han flashed and hid behind a rock.

The rock blocked Nie Yan's line of sight, temporarily buying him some time.

Qin Han opened the Book of the Dead in his hand, waved his staff, and more than a dozen skeleton soldiers appeared in front of him. He mixed in with these dozen skeletons and immediately felt much safer.

"Now it's my turn," Qin Han gritted his teeth, this was definitely the most embarrassing time in his life.

Seeing Qin Han dodge clumsily and hide behind a rock, Nie Yan sneered. This was just the beginning. So far, he had only used ordinary arrows, which wouldn't do much damage even if they hit. The really deadly stuff was yet to come!

Nie Yan quickly went around the rock, raised the Riding Crossbow in his hand. There were more than a dozen skeletons behind the rock, but Qin Han himself was nowhere to be seen.

Nie Yan frowned and suddenly thought, Invisibility Potion!

Eye of Truth!

A strange red glow bloomed in Nie Yan's pupils. He swept his gaze across the crowd of skeletons, and a faint figure appeared in the middle of them.

Nie Yan raised the Riding Crossbow, locked onto Qin Han in the middle of the skeletons, pulled the trigger, and five arrows shot out. He skillfully drew another five arrows, three Bleeding Arrows and two Bone Spike Arrows, quickly completed the loading, 1.65 seconds, maximum speed, and another five arrows shot out.

Qin Han, hiding in the middle of the skeletons, saw Nie Yan's lifelike gaze, his demon-like eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. *Damn it, what kind of pupil skill is this? He can lock onto me from such a long distance!*

The stealth effect of Qin Han's Invisibility Potion was relatively poor, not comparable to a Thief's Stealth at all. In addition, Nie Yan's Eye of Truth had been strengthened, and the effect of the Eye of Truth was greatly improved after advancing to Shadow Dancer. Naturally, Qin Han had nowhere to hide.

*Mad Rogue Nie Yan is indeed very capable, but if you think you can shoot me to death like this, you underestimate me too much.* Qin Han snorted coldly and waved his staff. A skeleton soldier holding a bone shield immediately stood in front of him, and the other five skeleton archers holding bows and arrows outflanked Nie Yan. Their range was about eighty yards, and they needed to get close to Nie Yan to shoot.

*Ding, ding, ding,* the five arrows were blocked by the skeleton soldier with its bone shield. Damage values of seven to eight thousand floated above the skeleton soldier's head.

Nie Yan was not an archer-type class after all, and his attacks were limited.

The skeleton soldier's health made Nie Yan frown. Three hundred thousand health, how long would it take to kill it with arrows!

Qin Han saw Nie Yan's arrows being blocked by the skeleton soldier and revealed a smug smile: "Mad Rogue Nie Yan, let me see what other tricks you have, use them all!"

*Ding, ding, ding,* another five arrows were nailed to the skeleton soldier's body. Although the health dropped bit by bit, the skeleton soldier stood firmly in front of Qin Han.

Seeing Nie Yan still shooting at the skeleton soldier in front of him, Qin Han showed a mocking smile: "Idiot, do you think you can shoot the skeleton soldier to death like this?" He waved his staff and cast a Dark Heal on the skeleton soldier, and the skeleton soldier's health quickly recovered.

*Shoot, keep shooting!* Qin Han's smile was twisted and hideous. Looking forward, the five skeleton archers had approached Nie Yan to within nearly eighty yards.

Nie Yan's expression remained calm and composed, without any change. He drew five arrows and shot them towards the skeleton soldier.

*You won't give up until you see the Yellow River*, Qin Han smiled contemptuously, still hiding safely behind the skeleton soldier. (idiom for "not give up until all hope is lost")

The first two of these five arrows were blocked by the skeleton soldier with its shield.

The third Bone Spike Arrow shot in from the edge of the bone shield and pierced straight through the skeleton soldier's heart. With a *bang*, the skeleton soldier's bones were disintegrated and shattered into fragments after being hit by this Bone Spike Arrow. This Bone Spike Arrow pierced through the skeleton soldier and shot towards Qin Han behind it.

Nie Yan's pupils suddenly contracted. After shooting so many arrows, the Pierce effect was finally triggered!

This was what he had been waiting for!

Nie Yan's movements did not stop at all. He continued to draw five arrows, aimed at the panicked Qin Han in the distance, and pulled the trigger.

Qin Han was hiding behind the skeleton soldier, less than two yards away from the skeleton soldier, and was prone to lowering his guard because there were objects blocking him in front. Therefore, he had no sense of crisis in his heart at all. He never expected that Nie Yan's arrows would actually have a Pierce effect.

Thus, Qin Han was tragic.

Such a short time was not enough to make any reaction at all. He waved his staff in a panic and was just about to dodge when, with a *poof*, the Bone Spike Arrow pierced into the ribs of his right chest.

The Bone Spike Arrow instantly triggered the mechanism, piercing deeply into the flesh and getting stuck in Qin Han's ribs.

A burst of severe pain made Qin Han gasp. His health dropped by more than half. He wanted to run, wanted to drink a health potion, but his body was out of control.

It was the Cripple effect!

Before Qin Han could react, a cold light flashed before his eyes.

*It's over!* Qin Han thought in despair.

A Bleeding Arrow pierced through his forehead and out from the back of his head, blood spurting out.

Qin Han's eyes gradually lost focus and he fell to the ground. All the skeleton soldiers, including the five skeleton archers, all fell apart into fragments and scattered on the ground, turning into a pile of broken bones.

Nie Yan smiled slightly, job done. He was very satisfied with his performance. The arrow that hit Qin Han's forehead just now was perfect and could already be compared to a professional demon hunter.

Killing a magic-type class with a bow and arrow for the first time, this feeling is really great.

So-called Warlocks are nothing more than this. No matter how strong a magic-type class is, they will still be finished after taking two arrows.

Qin Han probably had some powerful skills that he hadn't used yet, but no matter how strong the skills were, they were all clouds in the face of a powerful range of one hundred and twenty yards.

He put away Dullahan Doro's Riding Crossbow and walked towards the place where Qin Han's body fell, wondering if this guy had dropped anything.

Next to Qin Han's body, a thick, ancient book was left beside him.

Nie Yan showed a bit of a surprised expression. Wasn't this book the off-hand equipment that Qin Han was holding in his hand just now?

Using books as off-hand equipment is relatively common among magic-type classes. He remembered that he had glimpsed Qin Han flipping through this book when he summoned skeletons behind the rock, wondering what attributes this book had.

Nie Yan picked up the book, and a powerful dark force came through his body. He looked at the attributes.

Book of the Dead (Legendary): Special Item, Dark Magic Bonus 50%.

In addition to this attribute, the Book of the Dead also contains five advanced spells that require certain conditions to be cast.

*What powerful attributes! It can add to Dark Magic,* Nie Yan thought. *Give this Book of the Dead to Tang Yao. I wonder if Arcane Mages can use this thing. If they can, Tang Yao will be able to greatly increase his strength if he has such a powerful off-hand equipment.*

After putting away the Book of the Dead, Nie Yan put away the Golden Earth Dragon and Paladin Leffers, who had just joined forces to kill the Skeleton King. He had to change places, otherwise Qin Han would definitely send people to besiege him in a fit of rage after he was resurrected. Thinking of the expression that Qin Han might have, Nie Yan smiled coldly. He knew that the contest between them had just begun.

Just as Nie Yan was about to leave, the Guardian Angel Karenna waved her staff, and a white pillar of light fell on Qin Han's body. Qin Han's body gradually melted and disappeared in the white light.

Nie Yan was surprised, "This is possible?" He looked at the attribute bar, and the experience bar of the Holy Spirit Heart soared. The fourth seal was gradually showing signs of loosening.

It was possible that after Qin Han betrayed and became an undead, he was also classified as part of the Dark faction!

Nie Yan thought somewhat wickedly, *Would the fourth seal of the Zennarde's Sword be unlocked if I killed Qin Han again?*
