Chapter 148: Killing After A Struggle (2/2)

Nie Tian let out a muffled groan as he suffered a great blow. Therefore, he started to use all his strength to rid himself of Jia Peng’s earth power.

He also realized that Jia Peng…had just tricked him.

Jia Peng always knew that the shield he created wouldn’t be able to persist within the magnetic field.

It was only a pretense to throw Nie Tian off guard.

He didn’t use much earth power to create the shield. His true power was all gathered on his neck.

He was waiting for Nie Tian to grab his neck so that he would be able to channel his devastating power into Nie Tian’s hand via contact!

He didn’t move at all. However, he managed to successfully harm Nie Tian within his chaotic magnetic field.

Jia Peng madly laughed with a cunning expression in his eyes. “Little bastard! You’re still too green!”

Looking at Nie Tian, who was painfully resisting the earth power that had entered his body, Jia Peng once again started to move away with great difficulty, with no regard to the blood that was still dripping down his face.

He was only one more step from escaping from the chaotic magnetic field.

“Almost there!” Jia Peng rejoiced in his heart.

He was sure that once he escaped from the effects of the strange magnetic field, he would be able to instantly kill Nie Tian from a safe distance!

However, just as he was about to succeed, Zheng Bin from the Mystic Mist sect waved his sword as he pierced towards him.

CLANG!

The tip of the sword directly struck the middle of Jia Peng’s back, causing ash-yellow dots of light to splash out from his back.

However, the sword failed to pierce into Jia Peng’s back. Instead, it was sent flying by a strong counter force.

Eyes brimming with a murderous aura, Jia Peng turned around. “Brat, you’re courting death!”

He now planned to finish off Zheng Bin first after getting out of the magnetic field.

On the other hand, when Nie Tian sensed that something wasn’t right, he had already taken out the spiritual talisman that his master had given him from his bracelet of holding. He was prepared to receive Jia Peng’s revenge at any time now.

At that moment, Nie Tian suddenly went blank watched Zheng Bin dashing toward Jia Peng with an ash-gray skeletal tail. Apparently, he hoped that the sharpness of the tail would be enough to pierce Jia Peng’s defenses.

POOH!

Zheng Bin, who had somehow severed the tail of the mysterious outsider creature, stabbed it into Jia Peng’s back with all his strength.

The ash-gray bone completely ignored the defenses condensed by Jia Peng’s earth power as it completely entered Jia Peng’s body.

The vigor in Jia Peng’s enraged eyes instantly faded.

He looked into Zheng Bin’s eyes with a blank expression on his face. Then he turned his head back and blankly looked down at the bone that was jutting out from his chest, before collapsing to the ground with a loud crash.

The middle Greater Heaven stage Jia Peng, from the Realm of Earth Sieve, was first injured by the Ice Blast Pearl, then bound down by the chaotic magnetic field, and finally killed after being penetrated by the outsider’s tail.

Zheng Bin sat on the ground as he gasped for air, still yet to recover from the shock.

Off to the side, Nie Tian was unceasingly gathering his spiritual power and flesh power to resist the earth power that Jia Peng had sent into him.

After a long time, he finally stopped the ravaging earth power inside of him, and his chaotic magnetic field also dissipated into the air.

He raised his head and saw Zheng Bin, who was standing not far from him, looking back at him.

“I can’t believe a Greater Heaven stage expert possesses such formidable power!” Nie Tian sighed.

In order to kill Jia Peng, he had used an Ice Blast Pearl and condensed the chaotic magnetic field. Despite that, his efforts almost went to waste if not for Zheng Bin’s attack at the crucial moment.

Furthermore, Jia Peng wasn’t the strongest among all the experts from the other realms. He was only in the middle Greater Heaven stage.

More importantly, the reason why Jia Peng got himself killed was that he had never expected that Nie Tian would possess powerful weapons like the Ice Blast Pearl, and thus fallen into the chaotic magnetic field unprepared.

Otherwise, considering his strength, Jia Peng could have killed them as easily as if he were slaughtering livestock.

There were also late Greater Heaven stage experts from the outside realms waiting for them. If they didn’t meet Jia Peng, but a late Greater Heaven stage expert instead, would they still win?

Nie Tian’s expression turned grim.

Zheng Bin smiled bitterly and said, “The inferiority in our cultivation base is too great. I don’t understand why this Heaven Gate would mix Lesser Heaven, Heaven, and Greater Heaven stage cultivators together. We should only have Lesser Heaven stage cultivators as our opponents. It’s too unfair for us to fight against Heaven and Greater Heaven stage cultivators!”

Nie Tian slowly walked towards Jia Peng’s corpse. “We’re fortunate to still be breathing.”

He took the bracelet of holding off of Jia Peng’s wrist and released a strand of his psychic awareness to search through the items within.

His expression flickered as he cried out at the first glance of the items within, “We’ve struck gold!!”
