Chapter 252: A New Variation! (1/2)

WHOOSH!

As he spoke, Nie Tian dashed towards the man who had been hit by lightning and was still trudging backwards.

The man, who was at the early Heaven stage, still had fragmentary sparks sputtering on his body and dark smoke rising from his hair. Apparently, he had sustained some serious injuries.

He sensed danger as Nie Tian rapidly closed in on him, surrounded by his chaotic magnetic field.

However, before he had the time to react, Nie Tian’s magnetic field had already enveloped him, immediately causing him to lose control of his spiritual and psychic power.

During his previous battles, Nie Tian’s chaotic magnetic field had been proven effective on Greater Heaven stage experts, let alone an early Heaven stage cultivator like this man.

BOOM!

In the next moment, Nie Tian’s flame-wreathed fist bombarded the man’s chest like a giant hammer.

The man, who had already sustained heavy injuries, obviously didn’t have the strength to fend off such a violent strike, and thus had his chest bones shattered. The light in his eyes disappeared as he was sent flying out of Nie Tian’s magnetic field.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and was dead before his body even touched the ground.

Nie Tian grinned as he slowly approached his victim and squatted down to take his bracelet of holding. After searching his whole body for valuables, he said, “What a poor wretch.”

Somewhat disappointed, Nie Tian sent a wisp of his psychic awareness to scan the bracelet of holding, but all he discovered were a hundred spirit stones and a bunch of worthless items.

Afterwards, Nie Tian turned around and returned to the battlefield where the other six were still fighting.

Killing the man had taken Nie Tian no more than a dozen seconds.

Originally, no one on either side had attached much importance to Nie Tian, who seemed to be nothing more than a big talker. Cai Yuan didn’t even spare him a second glance.

After all, Nie Tian was merely at the Lesser Heaven stage, lower than anyone present. He didn’t think a nobody like him would be able to change the course of the battle.

That was why Cai Yuan hadn’t even bothered to reply to Nie Tian’s offer, and had only considered him as fool who had no better things to do.

However, after realizing that Nie Tian had killed an early Heaven stage cultivator in the time it takes a spark to fly off of a piece of flint, both Cai Yuan and his opponents couldn’t help but spare some attention to check him out.

As of now, Nie Tian’s body had already been tempered to the point where a mere glance at him would make his enemies feel nervous.

Facing Cai Yuan’s gaze, Nie Tian laughed heartily and said, “I didn’t do a thorough job on that one, so that one is free.”

Nie Tian was also aware that his successful kill was based on the fact that his victim had already sustained serious injuries.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Loud sounds were created from the friction of air as Cai Yuan rapidly swung his gloved fists, forcing one of his opponents to step backwards.

He took advantage of the opportunity and shouted to his subordinate with the wide sword, “Get the hell back to your opponents, Zhao Feng! I can handle these two at the same time. I don’t need you to help me!”

Blood was still flowing out of the Blood Skull member named Zhao Feng, while two fierce-looking men were chasing after him.

After berating Zhao Feng, Cai Yuan turned around and shot a glance at Nie Tian, saying, “Starting now, I’ll give you eight hundred spirit stones for killing one early Heaven stage enemy of ours, and two thousand spirit stones for a middle Heaven stage one. However you do it, I don’t care.”

“Wow, middle Heaven stage enemies?” After a moment of hesitation, Nie Tian nodded, “I’ll give it a shot.”

“Zhou Qi! Go kill this brat!” A late Heaven stage expert had a disdainful expression on his face as he formed several hand seals, commanding a set of two sharp claws to fly towards Cai Yuan’s waist.

The claws were iron-gray, and rust spots could be seen on them. However, bright dots of light constantly shot out of them as they whizzed through the air.

From the look of it, those bright light dots contained toxins, and that was why Cai Yuan dared not defend against them with anything other than his gloves.

Zhou Qi, an early Heaven stage cultivator, was originally chasing after Zhao Feng. However, the moment he received the order from his leader, he spun around and went after Nie Tian.

“Go!” All of a sudden, a staff with a tiger head on top shot out of his hand.

As it traveled at an astonishing speed in the air, a violent roar rang out from within it right before a enormous, white tiger emerged from the top of the staff. Its frenzied roars created a wave of strong psychic power that shot straight towards Nie Tian’s mind.

However, as soon as the wave entered Nie Tian’s chaotic magnetic field, it disappeared into thin air.

Even the white tiger was instantly twisted, became blurry, and was ripped to pieces the moment it entered.

With a dreadful shriek, what remained of the white tiger retreated to the staff.

Zhou Qi’s expression suddenly flickered.

He was aware that it was the incomplete soul of a fourth grade White Spot Tiger that had been sealed into his staff. However, even though the soul was incomplete, it was still as strong as a Greater Heaven stage Qi warrior, and the aura emitted could easily confuse the mind of a Qi warrior with a lower cultivation base.

Zhou Qi’s plan had been to kill Nie Tian without breaking a sweat while his mind was influenced by the White Spot Tiger.

However, he hadn’t anticipated that the staff and the White Spot Tiger’s soul would both go out of control when they were three meters from Nie Tian.

At that moment, fear could be seen on Zhou Qi’s face as he watched Nie Tian stepping towards him with a grin on his face. Not knowing what Nie Tian was capable of, he could only move backwards to keep a sizable distance from Nie Tian.

FIZZ! FIZZ!

Enveloped by his chaotic magnetic field, Nie Tian stretched out his arms and splayed his hands, and then numerous flames that resembled burning snakes shot out of his ten fingertips.

Using his mind, he commanded them to hover around Zhou Qi, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
