Chapter 163: I’ll Remember You, Kid! (2/2)
The two Grayvale sect experts’ expressions changed drastically, as they also wanted that the last person to kill Kan Xingming to be themselves, since only the person who laid the final, life-ending strike on Kan Xingming would be able to obtain those eight scarlet light spots.
They were all indescribably excited.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Devils whizzed over one after the other. However, just as they were about to make contact with Kan Xingming, they were instantly affected by the chaotic magnetic field.
The devils suddenly became distorted and twisted, and under the violent influence of the chaotic magnetic field, they began to show signs of disintegration.
That Ghost sect expert’s expression suddenly flickered, and as he urgently swooped down from midair, he forcefully stopped himself midway.
He looked at Nie Tian, eyes filled with shock and confusion, as though he couldn’t fathom what was going on, and why the devils, which he had condensed with his psychic power and spiritual power, suddenly showed signs of disintegrating as soon as they were submerged in the odd fluctuations around Nie Tian.
The two Grayvale sect experts saw that he suddenly stopped and also noticed the strange changes to his devils.
The two of them also came to a stop, and floating in midair, they quietly unleashed their psychic awareness in an attempt to pry into the mysterious magnetic field.
However, the moment their psychic awareness entered the field, it immediately became chaotic and uncontrollable and their minds were bombarded with unbearable stabbing pains.
The throbbing pain made them realize how terrifying and formidable the magnetic field around Nie Tian was.
Having seen through their mind, Nie Tian laughed in a low voice and raised his hand, before violently slapping Kan Xingming’s skull.
CRUNCH!
The terrifying sound of bones breaking into pieces came from Kan Xingming’s skull. The only remaining life force in Kan Xingming’s eyes finally dispersed completely.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
As Nie Tian had expected, after Kan Xingming stopped breathing, the eight scarlet light spots flew out and merged into the Heaven Gate pattern on the back of Nie Tian’s hand.
Meanwhile, the pattern on Kan Xingming’s hand started to fade away little by little, and before long, completely disappeared.
Soon the fluctuations of life force in Kan Xingming’s corpse also vanished. However, the rich wood power within his spiritual armor persisted.
Eyes narrowed, Nie Tian stared at Kan Xingming for awhile before he suddenly took off Kan Xingming’s bracelet of holding and threw it into midair.
“If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to kill him. I only happened to be in the right place at the right time. Most of his possessions are in that bracelet of holding. You should have it.”
With these words, Nie Tian stretched out his hand and pressed it against chest area of Kan Xingming’s spiritual armor.
When his palm made contact with the miraculous spiritual armor, concentrated wood power suddenly surged out of it. Without wasting a smidgen of it, Nie Tian absorbed and channeled it into his heart little by little.
He could keenly feel the joy in his heart, and became more convinced that his heart needed the nourishment from plentiful wood power to gradually awaken his bloodline power.
He was also more certain by this point that the most important spiritual item in Kan Xingming’s possession was the spiritual armor on him.
He had the feeling that it was a bit immoral for him to obtain Kan Xingming’s eight scarlet light spots, together with the man’s most valuable item.
However, that spiritual armor was extremely helpful to the complete awakening of his bloodline power. Therefore, although he knew that it was slightly inappropriate to do so, he couldn’t afford to pass on the opportunity.
In midair.
The expert from the Ghost sect held out his hand and grabbed Kan Xingming’s bracelet of holding that had flown to his chest. As soon as he used his psychic awareness to examine the items inside, his face dropped.
Indeed, there were numerous spiritual materials and medicinal pills of many kinds inside, but the majority of them had been looted from trial takers from the seven sects.
Most of the people who Kan Xingming had killed were low in their cultivation base and as such, the spiritual materials and medicinal pills that he had plundered from their possession were merely ordinary items.
None of them caught the Ghost sect expert’s eyes.
Even still, Nie Tian wanted him to share those valueless items with the two experts from the Grayvale sect. This made him very discontent.
“What’s inside?” One of the Grayvale sect experts asked.
“Nothing of value.” The Ghost sect expert had a grim expression on his face. Annoyed by Nie Tian’s behavior, he contemplated as to whether he should demand an explanation from Nie Tian.
However, at that time, the devils that he had released to kill Kan Xingming were on the verge of disintegrating in Nie Tian’s chaotic magnetic field.
Keh! Keh!
Nie Tian noticed that the chaotic magnetic field had already distorted those devils beyond recognition.
He grabbed Kan Xingming’s corpse with one hand and slightly shifted his position.
As soon as he changed his position, that magnetic field also followed him. Only then did those devils escape the influence of the chaotic magnetic field and once again solidify from their state of being nearly ripped apart.
“Gentlemen, these people from the other realms are our common enemies. I realize that I’ve taken a bit more than I should. I apologize for it.
“But I promise that I’ll try my best to make it up to you in the future.
“Even if that still isn’t enough to settle your discontent with me, we’ll work it out after we kill all those foreign cultivators, shall we?”
Nie Tian looked up at the three experts and said with an embarrassed smile.
“Nie Tian, Wu Ji’s disciple, I’ll remember you, kid!” The expert from the Ghost sect glared viciously at him and decided to drop it for the time being.
