Chapter 114: A Fight That Has to Be Fough (2/2)
He saw Yu Tong’s jade hands pulling in the air, which seemed like they were dragging and controlling something. At the same time, strong waves of psychic power rippled out from her.
“Psychic attack!”
He let out a violent scream in his mind and solidified his extraordinary psychic power into a giant, invisible pillar, before ruthlessly plunging it towards Yu Tong.
Yu Tong let out a muffled snort. Her devilishly beautiful pupils flashed with a strange light.
“I didn’t expect your psychic power to be so pure and vigorous!” Glaring at Nie Tian, she swung both hands downwards. “Thousand Hands Entanglement!”
One after another, the countless bloody hands suddenly sped up, and before Nie Tian could react, they had already entangled his waist like numerous madly growing vines.
As of this moment, Nie Tian could no longer smell even the slightest bit of perfume, and could only feel himself being partly submerged in a pool of thick blood.
Little by little, he was being dragged by the bloody hands towards Yu Tong.
Yu Tong didn’t get ahead of herself just because of that. On the contrary, she observed him with even more caution, as if she was prepared for Nie Tian’s counterattack.
She had suffered losses against Nie Tian before, and was aware that Nie Tian possessed a terrifying fist strike. She believed that once Nie Tian used that fist strike, the bloody hands that were currently entangling Nie Tian would no longer be able to bind him down.
She quietly took out a dark-red blood shield and got ready for Nie Tian’s counterattack.
The shield was different from the one she had used in the Green Illusion dimension. Unlike the illusionary shield that had been condensed by her blood-attributed spiritual power, this was an actual spiritual tool from the Blood sect.
There were unique, fine-looking, blood-colored patterns carved on the face of the shield, which were there to strengthen the shield.
Actually, Yu Tong had someone customize it, with the sole purpose of defending against the terrifying fist strike of Nie Tian.
She had made many preparations just to kill Nie Tian. The blood shield was to ensure her safety.
Although not able to speak nor move, An Ying, Jiang Lingzhu, and the others who were cocooned by the blood were observing what had been happening.
They watched as Nie Tian was entangled by the bloody hands and slowly pulled closer and closer toward Yu Tong.
Their eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.
On the other hand, Nie Tian twisted his shoulders in an attempt to break free from the bloody hands, but was met with an even stronger counterforce.
Even with his robust frame, he was unable to break free, and could only let himself be dragged closer and closer towards Yu Tong.
He also noticed Yu Tong taking out a delicate blood shield as he drew closer, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
He quickly came to realize how long and hard Yu Tong had been preparing for this battle.
He secretly took a quick glance at An Shiyi and noticed that the Spiritual Flame Pearls that An Shiyi had released a while ago hadn’t killed off the five blood imps.
Feng Luo’s drifting, distant voice, on the other hand, could be heard from time to time.
It suddenly became clear to him that the Greater Heaven stage Feng Luo was far from giving his best as he battled An Shiyi.
He was only trying to trap An Shiyi temporarily, while his main focus was actually on the battle between him and Yu Tong.
With his life on a thread, Nie Tian didn’t lose his lucidity. On the contrary, he calmly read into the battlefield.
“I can’t win by being so passive. The only way to turn the situation around is to capture Yu Tong alive! Only if I can use Yu Tong’s life to threaten Feng Luo and force him to release the others, will we have a chance to survive!”
Not only had he reached the conclusion that Yu Tong must hold a special status in the Blood sect, but he had also understood Feng Luo’s intentions. This whole scheme was clearly to aid Yu Tong in annihilating the devil in her heart. Moreover, Yu Tong’s master was Feng Luo’s elder martial sister, so surely he wouldn’t watch Yu Tong die and do nothing.
“Flesh power!” He roared in his mind, attempting to bring forth the mysterious power that had been hidden within him, which alway followed excessive beating of his heart. He wished to forcibly turn the situation around with that savage power.
However this time, he noticed that there was already power surging forth from within his flesh and bones before his heart even began to beat violently.
He had spent the past half a year at the back of Cloudsoaring Mountain, feasting on the meat of second grade spirit beasts every day.
The energy within the meat that he had eaten hadn’t been channeled into his spiritual sea after it was digested by his stomach. Instead, he had let it naturally disperse into every part of his body.
Most of the time, he wasn’t able to sense the power. Yet it erupted at that very moment.
Furthermore, it erupted in a way that was extremely violent and fierce!
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Once again, he twisted his shoulders and tried to struggle free with the new force. One after another, the countless bloody hands that had been entangling him burst into drops of blood before splashing outwards and falling into the pool of blood.
“Here it comes!” Yu Tong was in a state of total concentration.
“What?!” Feng Luo’s distant exclaim could be heard. It was exactly as Nie Tian had expected; he had been keeping an eye on the battle between him and Yu Tong.
An Ying, Jiang Lingzhu, and the rest of the party, who had been trapped by blood, also opened their eyes wide, staring at him with rapt attention.
They all noticed that Nie Tian was thrumming with an immense aura of flesh, as astonishing fluctuations of life burst forth from within his body.
BAM! BAM!
Each and every one of the bloody hands instantly burst into drops of blood as Nie Tian wriggled free.
Nie Tian, on the other hand, jumped in front of Yu Tong, his eyes full of savageness. He stared at Yu Tong and declared, “Today, I will defeat you for the fourth time!”
