Chapter 456: A Difficult Situation

Ji Kuang had been able to form a mountain of bones and turn it into a storm of bone spears with his exquisite magics.

Coupled with his immense psychic power attack, he had almost gotten Nie Tian.

If Nie Tian didn’t have the nine fist-sized fragmentary stars in his soul, and hadn’t mastered the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s Starshift technique, he might have already been badly injured or killed.

Nie Tian, who had already grown used to killing opponents with higher cultivation bases than his, thought he would have been able to overtake this man with ease, relying on his formidable battle prowess.

Therefore, he hadn’t gone all-out or exercised discretion when the battle had first started.

This battle taught him an important lesson: every Qi warrior might have their trump card. If he didn’t treat every battle seriously in the future, he would probably suffer great losses.

After pulling the Flame Star out from Ji Kuang’s back, he gazed over at Dong Li and Tao Pu, who were now engaged in a fierce battle.

Dong Li was smiling as she brandished her cyan awl.

WHOOSH!

The shadow of the black phoenix suddenly flashed across the depths of her pitch-black pupils.

As it did, strange psychic power fluctuations instantly shot into Tao Pu’s mind.

Tao Pu’s shifting body suddenly stiffened; the look in his eyes also froze.

Dong Li curled her lips and said, “It’s laughable that the Bone Sect’s little remaining evil actually dares to make waves in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation.”

Then, she took the opportunity, while Tao Pu was temporarily bewildered, infused her cyan awl with her dark spiritual power, and drove it into Tao Pu’s body.

Tao Pu’s airborne body shuddered in midair and then plunged to the ground.

FIZZ!

Like black flames, wisps of dark spiritual power consumed Tao Pu within seconds.

Just like that, the middle Greater Heaven stage Tao Pu was killed by Dong Li in a battle that turned out to be quite short.

Ping Yao, who was fighting Feng Luo, saw that Nie Tian and Dong Li had killed Ji Kuang and Tao Pu effortlessly. His face turned pale with fright.

Without any delay, he ended his battle against Feng Luo and fled in the direction he had come from.

Feng Luo, who had swallowed a Blood Strengthening Pill, was wreathed in a rich, bloody aura, and his eyes were also filled with sinister strands of blood.

Watching Ping Yao flee, Feng Luo panted heavily, as if he were hesitating over whether he should go after him.

“You have things to talk about. Leave him to me.” With a chuckle, Dong Li flashed gracefully after Ping Yao like a dancing butterfly.

Ping Yao’s cultivation base was one minor stage lower than that of Tao Pu, the man she had just slaughtered. Furthermore, she hadn’t even summoned her black phoenix yet.

Perfectly aware of her cunning and vicious nature, Nie Tian didn’t show the slightest intention of helping her, watching her dash after Ping Yao. In his eyes, Ping Yao was already a dead man.

Struggling to stabilize the surging bloody aura inside of him, Feng Luo looked down at Ji Kuang’s corpse. “Awesome, Nie Tian! I knew you could kill him. You were able to kill the Yuan Clan’s clanmaster in Black Cloud City when you were only at the Heaven stage. It must have been a piece of cake for you to kill this bastard now that you’ve entered the Greater Heaven stage.

Yu Tong stepped over and asked concernedly. “Are you okay, Uncle Feng? I saw that you consumed a Blood Strengthening Pill.”

Feng Luo waved his hand and forced a smile onto his face. “I’m okay. It’s just that I’m afraid I won’t be able to fight within a period of time. But now that Nie Tian is here, I finally don’t have to worry about your safety anymore. It’s just that the sectmaster and your master. They...”

He shook his head, laden with worry.

A surprised expression spread across Nie Tian’s face. “Sectmaster Li is also in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation?”

Feng Luo smiled bitterly. “She’s trapped in the Bone Sect’s ruins, which is not far from here.”

“What happened?!” Nie Tian asked with a grim expression.

He had always had good feelings towards the Blood Sect.

Back when he had vanished from the Blood Sect in the Realm of Flame Heaven years ago, they had taken in An Shiyi and An Ying, who hadn’t been able to make a living in the Spiritual Treasure Sect anymore, which had been a big favor to him.
