Chapter 116: Soul Attack (1/2)
The Fire Dragon that had been condensed by the scarlet, fiery strings retained its form after knocking Yu Tong’s Blood Edge Shield out of her hand.
Meanwhile, even more fiery light strings fell from the sky and converged on the blurry Fire Dragon, lengthening it to twenty meters.
At the same time, Nie Tian held Yu Tong tightly from behind.
Pressing the curved saber up against her neck, he raised his voice and shouted, “Feng Luo! Release them!”
Everything happened so fast that even Feng Luo was caught off guard. By the time he sensed something was about to go wrong, it was already too late, and Yu Tong had already been captured by Nie Tian.
PUFF!
The blood imps that had been besieging and attacking An Shiyi, suddenly fell and melted into the blood pool under her feet.
Feng Luo stopped attacking An Shiyi.
He glared grimly at Nie Tian and said, “Let go of Little Tong!”
“Let her go?” Grinning, Nie Tian pushed the saber up against her neck and began to slowly draw it to the side.
As he did, a long but shallow wound was cut open on Yu Tong’s slender, white neck. Almost immediately, blood began to flow out.
Standing with the back of her head towards Nie Tian, Yu Tong’s face was filled with humiliation and hate. Yet to recover from her puzzlement, she couldn’t remove her gaze from the Fire Dragon that was still in the middle of forming.
She couldn’t imagine how on earth Nie Tian had managed to summon a Fire Dragon out of nowhere during their battle.
The impact of the Fire Dragon was far mightier than the fist strike that Nie Tian had used in the Green Illusion dimension.
The Blood Edge Shield that she had specially formed to defend the fist strike had completely failed to hold off even one collision from the Fire Dragon, and had immediately fallen apart.
“Still don’t want to let them go?” Ruthlessness filled Nie Tian’s eyes, gripping the saber tightly to make another cut.
However this time, the curved saber didn’t aim for Yu Tong’s neck, but rather, the smooth, fair skin of her face.
When Yu Tong saw the curved saber moving towards her face, she finally looked scared.
From her point of view, Feng Luo not only had An Shiyi under control, but had also trapped Pan Tao and the others. Therefore, Nie Tian would never dare to kill her. At the most, he would use her to threaten Feng Luo.
As for the cut on her neck, she was confident that she could use the secret magics of the Blood sect to heal the wound without leaving any scars.
That was why fear couldn’t be seen on her face until now.
However, the face was the hardest part for spiritual power to extend to. Once her face was cut, she wasn’t confident that she could heal it completely.
Her delicate face had always been the part of her that she was most proud of. To every woman who cared about her looks, having a scar on her face was almost impossible to accept.
Nie Tian didn’t see her fear-stricken face, but Feng Luo, Pan Tao, and the others all had clear views of it.
“Don’t!” Feng Luo hurriedly stopped him.
Nie Tian held his hand still. He didn’t say anything, but only stared coldly into Feng Luo’s eyes.
Feng Luo glared back at him. Time passed silently… Finally, Feng Luo nodded and said, “Alright!I’ll release them!”
With these words, he formed an unusual seal with both of his hands, and used a secret spell of the Blood sect to change the fluctuations of the blood under their feet.
As soon as he cast the spell, Nie Tian saw the blood that had wrapped up Jiang Lingzhu, An Ying, and the others slowly retreat from their bodies, and once again merge with the blood pool under their feet.
Originally, Jiang Lingzhu and the others were unable to move a muscle. When the blood retreated, they suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Then, they realized that not only had they regained their mobility, but they were also free to speak.
Elated, Pan Tao exclaimed, “Good job, Nie Tian!”
After they were freed from the constraint, every one of them gazed at him with mixed expressions of disbelief and delight.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
The Fire Dragon formed by scarlet fiery strings floated ten meters high in the air above Nie Tian’s head, where it remained, gathering flame power.
They looked over towards the Fire Dragon, and then looked back at Nie Tian, guessing that it might be a powerful spiritual tool of Nie Tian’s…
“I’ve released them, so it’s your turn now,” Feng Luo said calmly.
Nie Tian still had firm hold on Yu Tong and had absolutely had no intention of letting her go. “Sister An, you take them and leave. I’ll catch up to you later.”
Having practically drained her own spiritual energy, An Shiyi frowned slightly and said, “Let’s take that girl and leave this place. We can release her when we’re no longer in danger.”
Feng Luo’s face suddenly sank. “Don’t even think about it!” He glowered at Nie Tian. “I’ve already delivered my part. You remember the deal, don’t you? If you leave with Little Tong, what’s to prevent you from going back on your word and killing her? Do you take me as a fool? They can leave, but you… have to stay!”
“Sister An, you guys go first,” Nie Tian urged them anxiously. “Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine.”
He knew that Feng Luo would definitely not allow them to take Yu Tong and leave as An Shiyi had suggested.
Feng Luo would never allow Yu Tong to disappear from his sight.
The reason why Nie Tian had the audacity to stay behind was because he could detect the aura of the drop of blood from within the Fire Dragon.
At the moment, the flame power that the Fire Dragon had gathered was already so formidable that even Feng Luo wouldn’t have the confidence to defeat it.
An Shiyi couldn’t decide.
RUUUUMBLE!
Suddenly, a world-shaking explosion rose up from the direction of the short mountain. Apparently, it had completely exploded and was experiencing a catastrophic transformation.
“I’ll be fine!” said Nie Tian, giving An Shiyi a meaningful look to remind her that the Fire Dragon was still there.
After hearing the distant, heaven-shaking explosion, An Shiyi took a look at the expanding Fire Dragon, and finally nodded. She said with clenched teeth, “Take care of yourself!”
