Chapter 53: The Energy Is Seven Times Richer! (1/2)
It wasn’t until now that Guo Qi, Tong Hao, and the others who had been lagging behind, finally arrived.
“Nie Tian!”
“Are you alright?”
“Where’s brother Tao and the others?” asked Guo Qi.
“They went after the people from the Blood sect.” With these words, Nie Tian took out a huge piece of spirit beast meat and threw it to Jiang Miao, saying, “Help me roast this up, please.”
It had been some time since they last ran into any spirit beasts, and thus there wasn’t much meat left strapped to Nie Tian’s back.
Now, he only had several dozen kilograms worth of spirit beast meat left, barely enough for himself.
However, just as he handed the piece of meat to Jiang Miao, an idea suddenly came to him, and he slowly turned to look at the spirit beasts which had been killed by the Cloudsoaring sect disciples, especially the Lurker Lizard!
The Lurker Lizard was a second grade spirit beast. After suffering from severe wounds, it had fled to the desert, but somehow had been located by Jiang Lingzhu and her team, and after a fierce battle, they finally slaughtered it.
The Lurker Lizard’s head had already been chopped off, yet its body was still lying by the lakeside.
Compared to first grade spirit beasts, second grade spirit beasts were stronger by a large extent. Therefore, the energy contained in their meat was also much richer.
Having drained his spiritual sea with his raging punch, Nie Tian urgently needed to recover spiritual power.
The Lurker Lizard’s meat was without doubt the best supplement for him at the moment.
After a moment of hesitation, he looked furtively at Jiang Lingzhu and asked, “I don’t want the Lurker Lizard’s head, but can I have some of its meat…? I’m a little hungry.”
“Hahaha, even if you want its head, I’ll give it to you, not to mention its meat.” Jiang Lingzhu’s bright eyes glittered charming light as she smiled. Then, she turned to Ye Gumo and said, “Eldest Brother Ye, Nie Tian is hungry and wants some cooked Lurker Lizard meat.”
“Of course, I’ll roast it for him myself!” Ye Gumo answered heartily.
With these words, Ye Gumo stretched out his arm and gave Nie Tian a thumbs-up, before he went to cut off meat from the Lurker Lizard and roast it.
By that time, two of Nie Tian’s acquaintances, Jiang Lingzhu and Nie Xian, arrived by his side.
“Are you okay?” Jiang Lingzhu asked concernedly.
Nie Tian shook his head. “It’s just that I’ve spent a lot of energy, so I’m extremely weak at the moment. All I need is some rest though.”
“Nie Tian, you… what cultivation stage are you in?” Nie Xian asked curiously.
Previously, he saw Nie Tian completely crush Yu Tong’s blood shadows and shatter the shield that she had formed by drawing upon all of her blood power.
As a result, the injured Yu Tong had no choice other than to retreat once she saw Pan Tao and the others about to arrive.
The power of Nie Tian’s punch had left an extremely deep impression on Nie Xian. As a matter of fact, he didn’t even believe his own eyes.
According to his memory, when he left the Nie clan and was received by Li Fan of the Cloudsoaring sect, Nie Tian had only been in the fourth level of Qi Refining
Back then, Nie Tian hadn’t stood out in any aspect, except that he had a strong and robust body.
Who could have imagined that a year later, Nie Tian would be able to fight off Yu Tong with one punch?
Nie Tian answered, “Well… I just broke through into the seventh level of Qi Refining a few days ago.”
“From the fourth to the seventh level in a year’s time…” Nie Xian murmured, gazing at Nie Tian as though he was looking at a monster.
Jiang Lingzhu also stared at him in shock, while her jaw almost dropped to the ground. “How could you have possibly done that?!!”
She had personally witnessed Nie Tian and Yun Song’s battle in Black Cloud City, and was positive that he was only in the fourth level of Qi Refining at that time.
Although she was experienced and knowledgeable in the Cloudsoaring sect, the fact that Nie Tian had leaped from the fourth level to the seventh level in a year’s time left her flabbergasted.
“I’ve been lucky.” Nie Tian chuckled.
While they were talking, An Ying, Pan Tao, and Zheng Rui returned, looked disheartened.
“Those Blood sect disciples weren’t even a bit slower than those of the Ghost sect,” An Ying said. Arriving by Jiang Lingzhu’s side, she sighed, and said, “I thought we could find you in the desert, and with your help go back and kill the Ghost sect disciples. I didn’t expect that Blood sect disciples had also entered the Green Illusion dimension.”
Upon hearing her words, each and every trial taker from the Cloudsoaring sect revealed expressions of shock.
“What?!”
“You ran into disciples from the Ghost sect?” Jiang Lingzhu exclaimed.
“Well, we can be considered the luckier ones.” Pan Tao said with a bitter smile, “It was the Grayvale sect that suffered tragic loss. Only from what we’ve seen, five of them were killed by the Ghost sect, and they were slaughtered in ways… I can’t even bear to see.”
“They also killed one of ours,” Zheng Rui said in a low voice.
“The Blood sect, the Ghost sect…” Jiang Lingzhu’s brows twisted, and her small face seemed to be clouded by a haze. “I’ve no idea what’s going on with the Mystic Mist sect. I hope they aren’t as unfortunate. From now on, we’d better stick together and find the disciples from the Mystic Mist sect and the Grayvale sect as soon as possible.Only united will we be able to contend with the Blood sect and the Ghost sect.”
“Our plan was to find you guys in the desert, so that we can go back together to the glacier area to kill the Ghost Sect disciples,” An Ying explained.
