Chapter 66: Like an Unwavering Mountain (1/2)
Yuan Feng and his two shadows had Nie Tian surrounded, and were constantly shifting positions, like ghosts.
Unable to identify the real Yuan Feng, Nie Tian stood there unwavering, pondering his next move.
All of a sudden an idea struck him.
It was only the real Yuan Feng who had inflicted damage on him. Thus, the other two, being shadows, could be ignored.
The shadows could never possess power as strong as the real person!
After realizing that, Nie Tian decided that the smartest move was to remain still and wait for an opportunity.
Once again, a Yuan Feng smashed his fist towards Nie Tian’s chest. Nie Tian, on the other hand, didn’t even blink, completely ignoring that attack.
BANG!
The punch fell heavily on Nie Tian’s chest. He felt the spiritual power contained within it, but after a slight wobble, he remained still, as a pained expression flashed across his face.
Compared to the former two strikes, this punch that Nie Tian had received was many times weaker, completely bearable for his robust physique.
“It’s fake!”
After taking the hit, Nie Tian could now easily tell by the difference in the might of the strike that this Yuan Feng was fake.
Squinting and with a calm face, he remained still in his original position, bracing himself for another of Yuan Feng’s attacks.
The second attack came from the right side as Yuan Feng’s fingers latched onto Nie Tian’s shoulder like hooks.
ZZZZZLA!
The clothing covering Nie Tian’s right shoulder was immediately torn into shreds. A moment later scorching pain radiated out from his naked right shoulder.
However, the pain level was bearable.
“This is also a fake one!”
Still calm, he remained as motionless as a statue, waiting to see what was coming next.
BOOM! BANG! BANG!
The two fake Yuan Fengs repeatedly attacked Nie Tian with their fists and claws.
Soon he had endured close to over ten rounds of attacks. The shirt covering his upper body had already been ripped to pieces. Thin wounds criss-crossed his skin.
However, he stood there like an unwavering mountain, his face expressionless.
After hovering around and attacking him for a while, the expressions of the three Yuan Fengs appeared to be increasingly anxious. Other than the criss-crossed wounds, Nie Tian didn’t seem to have sustained any major injuries.
Unlike Nie Tian, Yuan Feng had been marching at a fast pace after escaping from the Ghost sect and Blood sect.
In order to lose them, he hadn’t dared to stop and rest at all before reaching this point, and thus he never had a chance to replenish his spiritual power.
Moreover, he had long since consumed all of his spirit stones, way back in the glacier area.
Because he had consumed too much energy, and didn’t have spirit stones to help recover, when he encountered Nie Tian this time he had only demanded Nie Tian’s spirit stones, in order not to waste his strength.
As a matter of fact, Yuan Feng was actually totally exhausted.
If he couldn’t finish off Nie Tian in a short time, he wouldn’t be able to afford to keep wasting spiritual power on the Gray Shadow Incantation.
Furthermore, he also feared that the Ghost sect and Blood sect might come for them.
Seeing that his shadows were incapable of killing Nie Tian, Yuan Feng could no longer refrain from personally attacking.
After observing for a while, he noticed that Nie Tian had been silently taking blows from his shadows. It was then that Yuan Feng stealthily made his move.
BANG!
Yuan Feng’s fist strike landed heavily on Nie Tian’s chest!
The power in this punch was so explosive that Nie Tian spit out another mouthful of blood.
However, Nie Tian had long since been prepared. Enduring the piercingly acute pain with much difficulty, he suddenly pounced towards the Yuan Feng who had just attacked him, and knocked him to the ground.
“Here you are!”
He completely ignored the frantic attacks of the two fake Yuan Fengs behind him, as he hooked onto Yuan Feng’s neck with both his hands, continuously exerting his power, hoping to crush Yuan Feng’s neck.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Muffled sounds of impact continuously rang out from Nie Tian’s back as the two fake Yuan Fengs did their utmost to strike him.
“DIE! NOW!”
Jaw clenched and eyes full of killing intent, Nie Tian’s hands seemed like a lock, fastening tighter and tighter.
After sensing vigorous fluctuations of spiritual power from Yuan Feng’s neck, he realized that he had already concentrated all of his spiritual power on his neck.
Nie Tian was unable to crush Yuan Feng’s neck bone!
