Chapter 66: Like an Unwavering Mountain (2/2)
Knowing that he only had one chance to kill him, Nie Tian concentrated his psychic power and shot it ferociously towards Yuan Feng’s mind.
“Psychic attack!”
FIZZ! FIZZ!
As his gaze met Yuan Feng’s, the explosive impact of their psychic power caused strange sounds to ring out in the air.
Experiencing difficulties in breathing, a sense of terror gradually rose in Yuan Feng’s mind, and at the same time, he found it hard to continue using his Soul Reinforcement Incantation.
From such a short distance, Nie Tian poured all of his tremendous mental strength into Yuan Feng’s mind, immediately causing him to fall into a bewildered state.
As Yuan Feng was no longer able to concentrate his attention, the spiritual energy he had gathered in his neck suddenly scattered.
CRUNCH!
Finally, the crisp sound of cracking bone rang from within Yuan Feng’s neck.
As soon as Nie Tian heard that sound, his nerves instantly relaxed.
Yuan Feng was dead!
The ceaseless punching and scratching pain on his back also vanished.
Nie Tian rolled off of Yuan Feng’s dead body to lie on the ground. As he did, he saw the two shadows of Yuan Feng dissipating like clusters of thick smoke blown away by a gust of wind.
“He’s finally dead.”
He couldn’t stop panting, as he took his time to calm down and examine himself.
He almost didn’t consume any spiritual power while fighting Yun Song, considering he had killed him in almost an instant.
However, the process of killing Yuan Feng had been unexpectedly dangerous.
By this point, his exposed upper body was covered in a bloody network of wounds that had been inflicted by Yuan Feng’s shadows.
Those bloody wounds were only flesh deep; they looked frightening, but were not actually serious.
The only serious injuries were caused by the three attacks from the real Yuan Feng, each of which had left him vomiting blood. It seemed as though even his internal organs had been knocked out of their original positions.
Staring at the gray, cloudy sky, he sorted out his train of thoughts and concluded his reflections.
“Yuan Feng, Grayvale sect seed disciple, at the ninth level of Qi Refining… when he found me here, his spiritual power was probably not even half of his peak amount. Even so, he almost killed me!
“However, his previous comments about me held water. I haven’t been admitted into the Cloudsoaring sect and don’t understand how to make full use of my strength. Hence, I’m unable to turn my enormous psychic power into deadly attacks.
“Plus, I don’t understand different kinds of exquisite incantations and techniques, nor do I possess a proper spiritual tool. I’m at too much of a disadvantage when fighting.
“After I get out of the Green Illusion dimension, I’ve got to quickly enter the ninth level of Qi Refining, so that I’ll be able to learn profound incantations and techniques, and obtain a spiritual tool of a higher grade.”
…
After a long while, when the pain was mostly gone, he got up in an anguished and slow manner, and went over to search the corpses of Yuan Feng and Yun Song.
He didn’t find a single spirit stone on Yuan Feng and Yun Song. Yun Song was especially shabby; he didn’t have a single item in his possession at all.
Nie Tian found and took the peculiar banner from Yuan Feng. Apart from that, there was also a map of the Green Illusion dimension, which must have been drawn up by someone from the Grayvale sect, in order to facilitate Yuan Feng’s search for the second grade spirit beasts.
He didn’t know how to make use of the banner, so it wasn’t of much help to him for the moment, but that map of the Green Illusion dimension, on the other hand, was extremely helpful.
After storing the banner and map in his pouch, he took out two spirit stones from it, and started to absorb their energy to recover.
Before long, he had fully recovered his spiritual power. However, his injuries still needed time to heal.
It was at this point that an icy voice belonging to a woman caught Nie Tian completely off guard.“Killing your own people?! You really are ruthless. Nie Tian, is it? I remember you.”
Yu Tong, dressed in bright red clothes, suddenly emerged from behind a tall sand dune like a ghost.
The truth was that she had been following Yuan Feng and Yun Song with the help of the Blood Searching Compass. When they ran into Nie Tian, she was still more than five kilometers away from the three of them.
As she gradually gained on them, and used her Blood Searching Compass to scan the surroundings, she was surprised to find that there was only one bright blob remaining.
She thought it was someone from the Ghost sect who had beat her to their location, and killed Yuan Feng and Yun Song.
However, when she rushed to this place, the person she found was Nie Tian!
As a trial taker of the four sects, he actually killed Yuan Feng and Yun Song, even though he was perfectly aware that the Ghost sect and Blood sect’s disciples were also in the Green Illusion dimension.
She didn’t know exactly how unforgivable the hatred between them was. However, since Nie Tian was now alone, she believed that it was time for Nie Tian to pay his debt.
She waved her hand violently towards Yuan Feng and Yun Song’s bodies. In the next second, blood flew out of them and swirled up in a hurricane-like motion.
As she continued to cast the spell, the blood soon morphed into two blood shadows.
“Blood Shadows!”
The moment the blood shadows formed, a light flashed across Yu Tong’s eyes, and the blood shadows pounced towards Nie Tian.
