Chapter 294: Sudden Strike (2/2)
Unlike Li Langfeng, most Qi warriors weren’t able to withstand the corrosion of the concentrated, toxic power.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
A row of spiritual energy balls exploded in succession, filling the air with multicolored bright spots, each of which carried deadly filth and impurities.
The two Fang members were soon engulfed, their spiritual energy shields struggling to resist the corrosion.
It wasn’t very long before the light shields around them burst, and they were exposed to a mist of gorgeous lights, as well as various kinds of corrosive power.
In the next moment, they let out ear-piercing screams, but soon they gradually quieted down until they were finally silent.
When the bright spots completely dissipated, Nie Tian stepped towards the two Hunters and saw that their faces were grayish-green and their bodies were covered in faint green mist. Black blood was flowing out of every orifice in their faces, and their chests were welling, as if they could explode at any moment.
Their life auras were so weak that they seemed to be on the verge of dying.
“It seems that the truly powerful Hunters haven’t showed up yet. I can’t believe these two actually dared to stand in my way; morons who don’t understand the immensity of this world.” Nie Tian shook his head as he rapidly took their bracelets of holding, along with the bracelets of holding they had looted from their victims.
Just as he was walking away from them, the dead Hunters’ bulging chests suddenly burst.
Nie Tian frowned as he heard the bursting sound. He couldn’t help but marvel at Li Langfeng’s strength. “The concentrated impurities are indeed fatally corrosive to human flesh, and not everybody can take it.”
Back in the mountain valley, he had repeatedly bombarded Li Langfeng with his spiritual energy balls.
Li Langfeng had voluntarily deactivated his spiritual power shield and withstood the corrosive toxins within the countless multicolored lights with nothing but his fleshy body.
Even though he had been covered in bloody wounds, and looked rather bedraggled, he hadn’t exploded and died.
On the contrary, after absorbing the concentrated impurities from Nie Tian’s attacks, his battle prowess rose to another level.
After that battle against Li Langfeng, Nie Tian had realized that, as sickly as the man looked, the toughness of his fleshy body was actually not a bit weaker than the most powerful mutant spirit beasts in the Realm of Split Void!
Furthermore, the poisonous man was only one step away from entering the Worldly realm. Once he did, the Realm of Split Void would see another figure that even the three major forces would have to think twice about offending.
“I’d better avoid him before I enter the Greater Heaven stage,” Nie Tian said to himself.
He took out the map Pei Qiqi had given him. After taking a brief look at it, he got his bearings and sped off with seven Heaven Eyes floating around him.
A hour passed…
A Greater Heaven stage Hunter and two Heaven stage Hunters appeared.
With a glance at their two friends, who had died horrible deaths, their expressions became grim.
They had just come from the Void Illusion Mountain Range, where Song Li had ordered them to seek out and capture Nie Tian in the hilly region and wasteland.
The Greater Heaven Hunter circled around and examined the corpses before saying, “This is strange. They seem to have died from excessive corrosion of the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.”
“If that’s the case, they shouldn’t have died so miserably, right my lord?”
The Greater Heaven stage Hunter frowned, as he failed to figure out what had happened to them. “The residual tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth on them seems extremely intense, as if it had been concentrated. Only freaks like Li Langfeng are capable of doing that and making them die such horrible deaths.” Then, he took out a Sound Stone and reported his findings.
The coverage of a Sound Stone was limited, but a large number of Fang members were spread out in the region.
Therefore, his message reached Song Li after a few relays.
At that moment, Song Li had long since called off their forest-hunting mission and was rapidly marching towards the outer edge of the Void Illusion Mountain Range.
When she received the message, the tall middle Greater Heaven stage expert was standing right next to her.
Bitter hatred could be seen on her cold, beautiful face as she blurted, “It’s Li Tian again! Han Mu, you’re no stranger to his strange magic. He used the same magic to trap me in a mist of multicolored, toxic lights.”
Han Mu nodded softly and said, “Yeah, he sure had some strange skills. It must be him then, but it’s hard to believe that he has already left the Void Illusion Mountain Range in such a short time. The fact that he has such mysterious skills at his disposal means that his true battle prowess surpasses his cultivation base.”
“Yeah. Otherwise, why would the Blood Skull offer him a guest elder’s identity medallion?” After a moment of pondering, Song Li said, “Tell everyone to be extra careful. Let them know that Li Tian’s cultivation base doesn’t do justice to his battle prowess! Tell them that he actually possesses the strength of a late Heaven stage cultivator!”
“Possessing the strength of a late Heaven stage cultivator when he’s only at the early Heaven stage…” Han Mu murmured with a concerned expression on his face. “If we allow this kid to return to Shatter City, he’ll become a source of endless trouble for us!”
“Isn’t it all because of you good-for-nothings?!” Song Li shouted angrily.
“Sorry, miss!” Han Mu hastily replied.
“Go all-out to get him then! Don’t waste another second in the Void Illusion Mountain Range!”
“Understood!”
