Chapter 67: Giant Shadow in the Void! (1/2)
In Yun Song’s and Yuan Feng’s eyes, Nie Tian was nothing. Therefore, they had underestimated him when they started fighting.
However, Yu Tong was different.
Nie Tian had defeated her once, shortly after she entered the Green Illusion dimension. Hence, she had long since come to view Nie Tian as a worthy opponent, every bit as capable as An Ying and Yuan Feng.
That was especially true now, when she found out that Yuan Feng and Yun Song had both died by his hands. As of this moment, she regarded Nie Tian as the most formidable opponent from the four sects in the Green Illusion dimension!
Therefore, her first move was to cast one of the Blood sect’s secret magics: Blood Shadows.
The two blood shadows, formed from the blood of Yuan Feng and Yun Song, sent out ear-piercing screams as they swooped toward him like two sinister demons, emanating an overwhelmingly bloody smell.
Nie Tian gave a cold harrumph and said, “I heard that you’ve broken through to the Lesser Heaven stage, you evil witch. Is that true?”
As he spoke, he secretly released his psychic awareness to examine the two blood shadows.
He could only sense strong Qi and blood, but he didn’t find any soul fluctuations. This meant that the two blood shadows had no independent wills, and were pure manifestations of Qi and blood.
As the blood shadows attacked, he swung his arm and punched out toward them with full force.
BANG BANG!
With two loud booms, the blood shadows were reduced to a bloody rain, which fell down onto the sand below. However, Yu Tong’s secret blood magic summoned them back, and they reformed again!
WHOOSH!
Two new blood shadows rose up into the air and then dashed towards him again.
However, after the process of being destroyed and reforming, the Qi and blood in the shadows were obviously weaker than before.
Similarly, when they dashed over, their speed was considerably reduced.
BANG BANG!
Grinning, Nie Tian swung his arm, shattering the two blood shadows in quick succession.
After exploding, the blood shadows reformed, and dashed towards him yet again. The process repeated over and over.
However, every time they exploded, the power contained in them would significantly decay.
Despite that, the coquettish Yu Tong remained in place, cold eyes glittering with devilish, bloody light as she continued to form the blood shadows.
Soon, Nie Tian realized that Yu Tong only needed to consume a slight amount of power to manipulate the blood shadows, whereas he was expending significantly more power to shatter them.
Yu Tong’s plan was obvious: she wanted to wear him out with the blood of Yuan Feng and Yun Song, forcing him to consume some of his spiritual power before the actual fight began.
When the shattered blood drops once again converged into two blood shadows, Nie Tian finally stopped fighting them.
Instead, he dashed towards Yu Tong!
“Forbidden Blood Technique – Reverse Blood Flow!”
Splendid, gorgeous, blood-colored light suddenly appeared in Yu Tong’s dark-red pupils, as strong fluctuations of Qi and blood started to ripple outwards with her as the center.
Nie Tian, who was madly dashing towards her, suddenly felt something like a powerful shockwave slam into his strong and well built body.
At this very moment, Yu Tong, who hadn’t moved a bit since the battle started, suddenly turned into a ray of swift and fierce bloody light.
The next moment, Nie Tian saw streams of red bloody light surging towards him one by one, as though they were numerous streams of blood floating in mid air.
A moment later, he was besieged within a world of blood-colored light, and Yu Tong could no longer be seen.
Stream after stream of floating blood rivers twisted in the air and grew longer and longer, looking devilish and yet simultaneously beautiful.
Surrounded by the countless blood streams, Nie Tian, with a grim face, tried with great difficulty to suppress the unusual movements of the blood within himself.
He could keenly sense his blood being affected, as if it yearned to fly out of his body, as though it wished to join the surrounding rivers of blood.
“The Blood sect’s secret magic is truly worthy of its fame!” Nie Tian was secretly shocked.
He had a feeling that the reason Yu Tong had been avoiding fighting him head on was that she feared his rage fist strike.
Last time the two of them fought, he had burst seven of Yu Tong’s blood shadows with a single blow, and had even injured her.
In Yu Tong’s eyes, the might of that fist strike was far beyond ordinary. Even though she had entered the Lesser Heaven stage, she still didn’t wish for Nie Tian to use that raging fist against her.
“I won’t be able to defeat her with my raging fist if I can’t locate her. Meanwhile, the blood in me is getting increasingly violent and aggressive… soon, I’m going to lose control of it.”
