Chapter 60: A Tremendous Crisis (1/2)
Somewhat puzzled, Nie Tian approached Du Kun, hoping to find out what had occurred.
Du Kun was still twitching on the ground, blood streaming out of the corner of his eyes.
“Already lost your fighting power?” Nie Tian murmured as he crouched down. Then, he grabbed Du Kun’s neck with one hand.
CRUNCH!
A disturbing cracking sound echoed from his neck, then his head sagged down as he died instantly.
“It seems Ghost sect disciples are experts of psychic magics. I wonder if he has those kinds of incantation scrolls on him.”
Nie Tian’s eyes glittered as he started to search Du Kun from head to toe, hoping to obtain secret techniques regarding the cultivation of psychic power from him.
Nie Tian knew that Du Kun’s psychic power far surpassed those with a similar cultivation base to his own.
Just now he managed to paralyze Du Kun with a single strike, which helped him to fully realize how amazing psychic power could be.
Unfortunately, he had been cultivating in the Nie clan his whole life, and never had the chance to obtain knowledge regarding psychic power.
If he looted something from Du Kun that could help him get a better understanding of psychic power, he was sure that his battle prowess would rise to another level.
“Hmm. No information of any kind on him.”
After searching Du Kun from head to toe, Nie Tian failed to find any information regarding incantations for psychic power cultivation. As such, he felt greatly disappointed.
The only things he found were about ten spirit stones, along with a Ghost sect identity medallion, all of which were in the cloth pouch on Du Kun’s waist.
After taking the spirit stones and the medallion, he squinted his eyes, looking in the direction that Du Kun wished to escape in, and fell into deep thought.
He knew perfectly well that Mo Xi, Yu Tong, and the other disciples of the Blood sect and the Ghost sect were currently chasing after An Ying and her alliance at full speed.
He wasn’t sure if An Ying and the others could join forces with Zheng Bin in the volcano area before Mo Xi and Yu Tong caught up to them.
“I killed this guy and weakened the Ghost sect all by myself. I suppose this also counts as helping them. With me gone, they have 19 people on their end, so they should be able to just barely contend against the people from Ghost sect and Blood sect.
“Once they meet with Zheng Bin of the Mystic Mist sect, the Ghost sect and Blood sect’s mission in the Green Illusion dimension will fail.
“I’ve come to the Green Illusion dimension to train and build up myself, so I’d better consume the spirit beast meat as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be a huge waste.
“The only thing that I can do to help them is to stay here and cultivate, hoping that after the Ghost sect and the Blood sect realize that this guy has died, they will assign others to come and kill me.”
With these thoughts, he sat down next to Du Kun’s body, eyes closed, and started cultivating.
…
In the depths of the desert.
The Blood sect’s Yu Tong once again took out her Blood Searching Compass to detect An Ying and her companions’ location.
Mo Xi stared down at the dots of blood-colored light on the compass, and grinned.
“They’re right ahead of us!”
“We’ll be able to catch up to them in a day. Then we’ll kill them all before they leave the desert!”
Glancing at a corner of the compass, he found a single blob of blood-colored light, and said, “There’s only one blob of light left. Du Kun must have succeeded already.”
“Something’s wrong,” Yu Tong said with furrowed brow. She shook her head. “That that blob of light isn’t moving. If Du Kun really succeeded, he definitely wouldn’t stay in one place.”
Upon hearing her words, not only Mo Xi, but other Blood sect and Ghost sect disciples were also seized with shock.
“What?! Are you saying… Du Kun is the one who’s dead?” Mo Xi’s face turned grim.
Yu Tong said expressionlessly, “I don’t want to believe Du Kun would fail either, but the facts are in front of us.”
After a moment of silence, Mo Xi suddenly commanded, “Song Heng! Head over there and take a look!”
“No,” Yu Tong said calmly. “Considering that Du Kun was the one who died, Song Heng going by himself wouldn’t necessarily be safe. However, if we send more people over, we’ll be short handed. Even if we managed to catch up to those from the Spiritual Treasure sect and Cloudsoaring sect, we wouldn’t be able to guarantee a victory.”
Mo Xi shouted, “But he killed Du Kun! He has to die!”
