Chapter 177: Nie Tian from the Realm of Flame Heaven! (1/2)

The moment Nie Tian’s psychic awareness entered Su Lin’s soul, she realized that it wasn’t looking good for her.

The three giant glaciers that Xuan Ke had condensed and left within her were still unleashing freezing coldness, causing damage to her soul.

Even though she was certain that she had also inflicted serious damage on Xuan Ke and forced him to drop out of their fight, she also knew very clearly that he had done the same to her. It was just that her injuries weren’t as severe as his.

Obviously, knowing that Su Lin was stronger than him, Xuan Ke had gone all out to fight her so as to get the first part of the Fragmentary Star Incantation.

All the threats and confidence were merely a show that she had put on.

She did all of those things to scare Nie Tian off, so that she would be able to spend the least time and effort to obtain all the magical symbols that Nie Tian had and give her as much time as possible to recuperate.

After all, the first part of the Fragmentary Star Incantation alone wasn’t her goal. Her goal was to get both the first part and the middle part.

For that reason, she could afford to waste her time and energy on Nie Tian. He needed all the time she could get to heal her wounds, replenish her power, and adjust herself to her peak state.

However, she never thought Nie Tian, a young nobody from the Realm of Flame Heaven, would defeat Wu Ling and so shrewdly see through her weakness.

Now she realized that Nie Tian was determined to launch attacks with his psychic power and hit her where it was still sore.

Su Lin’s opinion of Nie Tian was completely overthrown by this point, and she finally decided to give him the credit that he deserved. “It seems that I’ve underestimated you, kid from the Realm of Flame Heaven.”

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Inside of Su Lin’s soul, numerous rays of chilly moonlight shot out of the crescent moon in the sky.

Originally, their target had been the three glaciers that Xuan Ke had put there.

However, each of the numerous rays of moonlight suddenly split into dozens of light rays as they pierced towards Nie Tian’s psychic awareness that had invaded Su Lin’s soul.

PHOOH!

Nie Tian’s psychic awareness condensed and morphed into a vague figure.

Upon a closer look of the figure, it was none other than Nie Tian himself, only not in fleshly form.

Nie Tian’s psychic awareness constantly shifted its position to dodge the piercingly cold moonlight.

At the same time, the ghost-like Nie Tian secretly approached the three enormous glaciers, from which he sensed nothing but utter coldness.

However, he wasn’t the target of the bone-piercing coldness.

The cold aura that floated out of the glaciers seemed to have caught a whiff of the moonlight’s aura and immediately rushed over, eliminating Su Lin’s psychic attack within seconds.

Meanwhile…

Xuan Ke, who had lost his Heaven Gate pattern and disappeared from the palace, appeared outside of another dilapidated city.

Around him stood three Greater Heaven stage experts from the Realm of Endless Ice.

The wound on Xuan Ke’s hand had already stopped bleeding. Sitting in the middle of those powerful experts with his eyes narrowed, he was healing the injuries to his soul with a mysterious medicinal pill from the Ice Pavilion sect.

Xuan Ke’s eyes snapped open.

“What’s wrong, Young Lord?” One of the Greater Heaven stage experts asked.

Xuan Ke didn’t answer immediately, but rather squinted his eyes and sensed carefully with his psychic power.

A while passed and his expression flickered. A faint, strange laugh could be seen on his cold and grim face.

“That guy actually perceived the injuries to Su Lin’s soul! And he even had the audacity to fight her! It seems that we’ve underestimated this guy from the Realm of Flame Heaven.

“Actually it’s not bad news for us. Now that we can’t get all three parts of the Fragmentary Star Incantation, the Heaven Palace sect had better not get it either.

“Let me help you, kid!”

Xuan Ke took a deep breath and reached out his hand. “Six Exhaustions Pill!”

“What do you want to do with it, Young Lord?!” a powerful expert from the Ice Pavilion sect asked with shock on his face.

Xuan Ke let out a cold harrumph and said, “Six Exhaustions Pill!!!”

The man didn’t dare to say another word and hastily took out a prism-shaped pill. A bone-piercing cold aura floated out of it as he handed it to Xuan Ke.

Xuan Ke grabbed it and swallowed it without any hesitation. Immediately afterwards, a surge of brand new soul fluctuations rippled out from within him. He seemed to have strengthened the faint link between him and the three floating glaciers in Su Lin’s soul.

HUFF! HUFF! HUFF!

Almost simultaneously, the glaciers in Su Lin’s soul seemed to have acquired a new strength, and white, icy mist started to rise from the surface of the glaciers.

The icy mist rapidly spread out into the surroundings with the three glaciers as the center.

Before long, the area within Su Lin’s soul where the glaciers were floating seemed to be frozen and sealed by the bitter coldness!
