Chapter 161: A Change in Heart! (2/2)

The reason was that he discovered that Nie Tian’s expression wasn’t filled with fear and despair.

Despite having fought side by side with Nie Tian against Zhao Mo and Du Huang, Feng Luo still wasn’t able to fathom Nie Tian’s true strength. However, he was fairly confident that Nie Tian wouldn’t be killed that easily.

Therefore, he didn’t immediately rush to Nie Tian’s aid, but rather decided to keep observing.

On the other hand, Li Fan and Liu Yan’s hearts were burning with anxiety as they both wanted to rush over and free Nie Tian from the dangerous situation.

Kan Xingming seemed to have noticed their intentions, and called out, “Brother Miao, take good care of your opponents.”

Miao Chen arched his lips as he seemed to think that Kang Xin Ming was giving his opponents too much credit. “Don’t worry. None of them shall even dream of interrupting you.”

With these words, numerous green, ghost-like flame clusters stormed toward Li Fan and Liu Yan.

Immediately after that, Li Fan and Liu Yan were rounded up by the flame clusters and were only able to move about to dodge their attacks within a very small space. From the look of it, there was no chance that they could break free from the water-tight besiegement.

As anxious as the two of them were, they had to figure out a way to handle the corrosive power within the green flames.

Otherwise, before long, they would be devoured by the flames, turned into two set of pale-white skeletons, and broken into pieces after falling to the ground.

“Damn it!” Li Fan cursed. He had long since told Nie Tian to get as far away as he could from this place, but not only did Nie Tian not listen to him, he even was so daring as to approach the dilapidated city, as if he actually had a death wish!

Finding himself at his wit’s end dealing with the flames that had trapped both him and Liu Yan, Li Fan grew increasingly mad at Nie Tian and his blind audacity.

“My life essence is wasting away, my flesh is shriveling and blood is drying up…” Eyes narrowed, Nie Tian sensed the changes within him with rapt attention. He looked relatively calm and no fear could be seen on his face.

Although he couldn’t move his arms and legs, if he wanted to, he was able to summon the Flame Dragon Armor from within his bracelet of holding, or trigger one of the life-saving talismans that his master had bestowed upon him.

However, he didn’t.

The reason was that when he was completely wrapped up by the plant and his life force was slowly sucked away, a strange feeling was born in his heart.

He felt excited!

His heart throbbed vigorously, as if it was yearning for something.

He had always known that he was different from ordinary people.

Compared to others, his psychic power was stronger and his fleshy body was sturdier. He could even continuously temper his own body by consuming spirit beast meat.

Although he had come across great danger in many occasions before, strange changes had alway occurred to his heart when he was on the verge of dying.

All those strange encounters had proven that there were definitely secrets hiding within his body.

Furthermore, Hua Mu had once told him that he might be able to reveal some of his secrets during the Heaven Gate trial.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

His heartbeat grew stronger and stronger as his life force faded away.

Gradually, he started to feel dizzy due to the significant loss of life force. However, he entered a strange state at that moment, and his soul consciousness seemed to have floated to where his heart was.

Muddleheaded, he saw dazzling light suddenly shoot out from the vessels within his own heart.

His blood vessels seemed to have turned into transparent crystal tubes, within which countless strange sparks flickered. The light seemed to be constantly evolving, as if his heart was undergoing a profound change that he couldn’t comprehend.

BOOM!

A violent tremor suddenly struck his mind, and after his soul consciousness returned to his head, he snapped out of the mysterious state.

In the next moment, an aura that was full of violence and domination emerged abruptly from within his heart.

The unusual plant that had wrapped him up suddenly started to wither at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

The rich life force that the plant had sucked away from Nie Tian’s body returned back into his body in an extremely short time.

His wizened body also expanded rapidly like a ball that was being inflated.

Within only several dozen seconds, he recovered to his original look once again. He was in high spirits and appeared to be uninfluenced in the slightest.

Meanwhile, the plant wilted, was reduced to flying dust, and disappeared completely as he shook his body with relief.
