Chapter 294: Sudden Strike (1/2)

A middle Heaven stage Qi warrior, who had a fang pattern embroidered on his left shoulder, was holding a portrait in one hand and clenching his other hand around a man’s neck, as he asked the man with an expressionless face, “I’ll ask you one last time: have you seen this man?”

The man shook his head. “N-no.”

“Alright, you can die now.” The Fang member crushed the man’s neck as he shook his head.

“That Li Tian person might still be in the Void Illusion Mountain Range now,” the other Fang member said, “Let’s wait here for a little longer.”

They were both at the middle Heaven stage, the same as the three men they had just killed.

However, it appeared as if they hadn’t even broken a sweat killing those three enemies with just the two of them.

Failing to get what they wanted, the two Fang Qi warriors rolled up the vivid portrait of Nie Tian and put it away before beginning to loot the valuables from their three victims.

Meanwhile, a Heaven Eye that they couldn’t detect floated high above their heads, hearing every word of their conversation.

In a location about a thousand meters away, Nie Tian frowned, as he had never expected that the moment he left the Void Illusion Mountain Range, he would run into Hunters from the Fang.

At this moment, both the Fang and Li Langfeng had set Nie Tian as their primary target. However, the Fang posed a bigger threat to him than Li Langfeng.

First of all, the Fang wasn’t just one man, but rather a Hunter organization.

As the head of this tightly structured organization, Song Li was extremely smart and cunning. Even though she hadn’t spent much time with Nie Tian, she was able to draw such an accurate portrait of him. Not only that, she worked so fast that it had already been passed to her subordinates in the hilly area and wasteland, and they had already started looking for Nie Tian according to it.

Li Langfeng, however, had been looking for Nie Tian merely based on the name Hua Tian, and he was just one man. Therefore, he was naturally not as efficient as the Fang.

Even though Nie Tian was surprised by the scene, he didn’t seem anxious, since he had already prepared himself for this.

“Song Li, since you want to play, I’ll play with you.” Not only did Nie Tian not try to avoid them, but he even charged towards the two Fang members with a grin on his face.

From the look of it, he didn’t attach much significance to those two middle Heaven stage Hunters.

He could tell that those Hunters were more powerful than common Qi warriors who came to explore the mountain range, but they didn’t seem to be stronger than Dark Moon members of the same cultivation level.

Considering Nie Tian had killed more than a dozen middle Heaven stage Dark Moon members to rescue Pei Qiqi and Cai Yuan from a siege in the Void Illusion Mountain Range, it was natural that he didn’t think much of them.

PHEW

Moments later, like a gust of wind, Nie Tian arrived in front of the two Hunters, who were stepping away from their victims.

Nie Tian’s portrait had left a deep impression on the Hunters. Therefore, they were able to recognize him at first sight.

“Li Tian!!!” After realizing that the youngster in front of them was the man they had been looking for for days, they grew excited.

“I’m guessing you’re looking for me,” Nie Tian said, grinning, as he put away his jade bracelet and created a chaotic magnetic field around him.

At the same time, he raised his arms and cast the secret magic he had learned from the mysterious land.

A spiritual energy ball filled with concentrated impurities was instantly formed and shot towards the two Hunters.

BANG!!!

The energy ball exploded, sending out bright spots of various colors in every direction. The strong shock wave almost destroyed the two Fang members’ protective light shields, making them flicker nonstop.

Every Qi warrior who dared to leave Shatter City, Ash City, and the Land of the Abandoned possessed elaborate spiritual tools that could resist the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Those two Hunters were no exception.

However, most spiritual tools could only ward off the normal toxic spiritual Qi, not the concentrated toxic spiritual Qi in Nie Tian’s energy ball.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

The jade bracelets the two Hunters wore immediately exploded.

Expressions flickering dramatically, they had to summon their spiritual power to form new protective shields around them.

“The Realm of Split Void is a forbidden place for most life forms. However, it’s a blessed land for people like Pei Qiqi, Li Langfeng, and me.” With this thought, Nie Tian smiled heartily as he formed a second spiritual energy ball and used it to bombard his enemies.

Pei Qiqi was able to display the might of her profound spatial magics to the fullest here because spatial warps occurred here all the time and deadly spatial rifts could be found in every corner of the mountain range.

That was why the late Heaven stage Pei Qiqi had successfully killed Greater Heaven stage experts in the Void Illusion Mountain Range before.

As for Li Langfeng, who cultivated the art of poison, he was able to obtain useful toxins from the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Although he suffered a backlash from the toxins, he used them to build up his own strength and battle prowess.

As for Nie Tian, he could create spiritual energy balls by spending a limited amount of strength. Even though he couldn’t cultivate with the toxins within the highly concentrated spiritual energy balls, when he used them to bombard his enemies, they exhibited surprisingly formidable might.
