Chapter 154: Fleeing (1/2)
Because of Feng Luo’s reminder, Nie Tian paid a lot more attention to the incoming blood-colored ice shards, and tried his best to avoid absorbing them into his chaotic magnetic field.
However, Zhao Mo didn’t plan to let him off so easily.
From where he was standing, a distance away from Nie Tian, he once again operated his spiritual incantation to stimulate the frost power within the remaining flying ice shards.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The whizzing, scarlet ice shards instantly sped up, turning into red meteors as they plummeted towards him.
Meanwhile, Zhao Mo snorted coldly. “Freeze!” Then, the thick frost mist that had wreathed him also abruptly rushed towards Nie Tian.
CRACKLE!
An unusual noise came through from the sky when the thick and cold mist whizzed through the air, as if even the air were freezing up.
The cold mist stopped right between Nie Tian and Zhao Mo, creating an enormous shield.
Nie Tian, on the other hand, didn’t have even the slightest intention of avoiding it.
He instantly entered the cold mist together with the chaotic and distorted magnetic field.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
As soon as the cold mist entered the chaotic magnetic field, it instantly turned into small fragments of ice, which were assimilated by the chaotic magnetic field.
Subsequently, Zhao Mo lost contact with the very frost power he himself had unleashed.
“What the hell?!” Zhao Mo stood aghast.
As of this moment, the grimness in his gaze when he looked at Nie Tian started to fade away, gradually replaced by panic.
He noticed that he had no good way to deal with the strange magnetic field that was surrounding Nie Tian. As soon as his attacks fell into it, they would immediately be distorted and assimilated, becoming fuel for the magnetic field.
Even the psychic power that he had unleashed was completely obliterated once it penetrated into the magnetic field.
Zhao Mo finally lost his composure.
He continuously moved backward and completely gave up on trying to get closer to Nie Tian. Simultaneously, he fixed his attention on the bizarre magnetic field, searching in his head for a way to break it.
“Yee?”
It wasn’t long before Zhao Mo noticed something. His expression flickered slightly as a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He had just noticed that the magnetic field wrapping around Nie Tian appeared to be slowly shrinking as time passed!
“Hah!”
Zhao Mo started to grin complacently and said from afar, ”As it turns out, the magnetic field that you have formed can’t persist for long.Things have just become much simpler. All I need to do is wait for the magnetic field to disappear, and then kill you effortlessly. I absolutely don’t need to waste anymore energy on you.”
As soon as these words came out, the thick frost mist, along with the scarlet ice shards that had been pursuing Nie Tian, all changed their direction.
They all turned around in the air, and swooped down towards Feng Luo and Zheng Bin.
Yu Tong was the only one who hadn’t been targeted. Obviously, he had other plans for her.
“Oh, damn!” Nie Tian softly cried out as he saw that Zhao Mo only moved backwards to avoid him, refusing to confront him directly.
At this moment, he had also finally come to realize the most significant weakness of the chaotic magnetic field: it would fade away as time passed!
If his cultivation base and his strength were profound and powerful enough, he would have caught up to Zhao Mo before the chaotic magnetic field faded away.
In that way, he would be able to inflict serious damage on Zhao Mo by relying on the chaotic magnetic field.
Unfortunately, he only had the cultivation base of Lesser Heaven, while Zhao Mo was in middle Greater Heaven stage. The huge gap in their cultivation bases made it impossible for him to get close to Zhao Mo, even if he went all out.
Zhao Mo’s wise move made him understand that it was by luck that he had been able to inflict serious damage on Jia Peng with the chaotic magnetic field, after which Zheng Bin had taken the opportunity to kill him from behind.
If Jia Peng hadn’t fallen into the chaotic magnetic field, but instead jumped back to avoid Nie Tian like Zhao Mo did, he and Zheng Bin would have had only a very slim chance of winning.
With these thoughts, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Nie Tian’s mouth. He finally realized how big of an influence a poor cultivation base could be.
Zheng Bin and Feng Luo were both busy dealing with the ice shards and the cold mist, and after hearing what Zhao Mo said, their hearts sank.
The two of them had also realized that the magnetic field that Nie Tian formed around him couldn’t last permanently.
The magnetic field was shrinking by the second.
The moment the magnetic field disappeared completely would be the time when Zhao Mo heartlessly murdered Nie Tian.
