Chapter 208: Turning the Situation Around (1/2)
From the look of it, being a highborn outsider, Groete knew about the Fragmentary Star Incantation, and that was why when he saw the starlight raining down onto Nie Tian, he looked somewhat scared.
The Blood sect had been enveloped in the dense demon Qi for so long that all the Blood sect survivors had almost forgot what the starry sky looked like. They weren’t even sure if the moon, the sun, and the stars still existed.
Seeing the starlight falling from the heavens, penetrating and dispelling the demon Qi, every disciple of the Blood sect had a feeling that the starlight that had poured onto Nie Tian was their hope to get out of the difficult situation.
In their eyes, the starlight was the light of hope!
“Nie Tian!” Li Jing suddenly put a sizable distance between Sarah and herself. Wreathed in a rich bloody aura, she looked at Nie Tian, eyes filled with shock.
She was the only Qi warrior in the Blood sect who had reached the Profound realm, so her understanding of the starlight was much better than all the other Blood sect members.
As strong and resourceful as she was, when the Blood sect had been engulfed by the dense demon Qi, she found herself at the end of her wits.
However, the starlight pouring down from the heavens at this very moment carried a mysterious power that could cleanse the demon Qi.
This power was completely new to her, and it went beyond even her understanding.
Furthermore, she didn’t think it was Wu Ji who had passed this miraculous incantation to Nie Tian.
If he had such a powerful incantation at his disposal, the Cloudsoaring sect wouldn’t be in a similar situation as the Blood sect, struggling to stay afloat.
“Spirit Channeling grade treasure, mysterious incantation… Is he really Wu Ji’s disciple?” Li Jing couldn’t help but wonder.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
As soon as the flood of starlight shone on the dense demon Qi, the demon Qi dissipated as rapidly as if it had been set on fire.
Moments later, a ten-meter range, with Nie Tian being the center, was demon Qi-free.
Having lost his chaotic magnetic field, Nie Tian stood in the center of the starlight-lit area, a confused expression on his face.
On the other hand, Groete had already quietly gotten away from Nie Tian as soon as his purple light ball exploded and the starlight started cleansing the demon Qi.
At that moment, Groete was hiding away within another cluster of dense demon Qi, looking deeply at Nie Tian with his purple, devilish eyes, as if he was trying to see through all the secrets in Nie Tian.
What he didn’t know was that after destroying the purple light ball with the rage punch, Nie Tian was actually in a terrible state.
The rage punch had almost drained all of his power.
WHOOSH!
All of a sudden, a ball of flame whizzed over, dragging a long, burning tail, and stopped one meter in front of Nie Tian.
After the flames gradually went out, the Flame Dragon Armor showed itself.
CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
The sounds of heavy things crashing into the ground rang out from behind Nie Tian.
Along with those sounds came the screams of low-tier outsiders and blood-spurting sounds.
By destroying the purple light ball and channeling starlight from the heavens, Nie Tian had bought the Bone Blood Demon enough time to break through the blockade.
Seconds later, the Bone Blood Demon, whose body had turned red from the bloodbath, arrived by Nie Tian’s side.
Emanating a dreadful, bloody aura, the Bone Blood Demon stood back to back with Nie Tian. It constantly swung its gigantic bony hands, tearing the incoming roaring low-tier outsiders into shreds.
Before long, the bodies of the dead low-tier outsiders piled up into a hill in front of the Bone Blood Demon.
More and more purple blood kept streaming out of the mangled bodies and soon the ground was covered in it.
“Your highness!” Sarah called out to Groete. As she turned her curvaceous body, numerous thorns grew out of her, and then she whizzed towards Li Jing.
The blood-colored lotus Li Jing sat on seemed as if it was made of blood crystal, inside of which blood shadows constantly flashed about.
She felt greatly relieved after seeing that the Bone Blood Demon had reached Nie Tian’s side and was now cutting down wave after wave of low-tier outsiders to keep him safe.
At that moment, the voices of Feng Luo, Hong Can, Li Fan, and Zou Yi rang out from afar.
“Sectmaster!”
“Senior Li!”
“We’re here!”
After spending some time to replenish their power with spirit stones, they finally made it to the central square of the Blood sect.
“Your highness!” Sarah’s voice echoed out again. It seemed she didn’t dare to tell Groete what to do, so she just called out his name.
She also feared that she might irritate him and make him act rashly by advising him.
She only wanted to inform him that now that Feng Luo and the others had arrived, according to her assessment of the situation, their operation to sack the Blood sect was already destined to fail.
Furthermore, she had witnessed Groete awaken his own bloodline power and cast the Eternal Night spell, but fail to kill Nie Tian before the Bone Blood Demon rushed to his side.
As a high-tier outsider herself, she had a perfect idea of how consuming the demonizing process could be.
