Chapter 482: Expelling Order
The sun hung high in the sky, scorching the desert.
Nie Tian hid in a sand dune and masked all of his life aura with the Life Stealth bloodline talent.
He left a shred of his garment on the sand dune, making it fairly easy to notice.
Then, he spread his Heaven Eyes in the vicinity, keeping a close watch on Shi Qing and the man pursuing him.
Hiding in the sand dune, Nie Tian gripped his Flame Star tightly, strong killing intent filling his heart. “The Thunder Mountain Sect from the Realm of Earth Sieve...”
Even if Lei Yao hadn’t so openly robbed the Blood Skull of their inter-realm teleportation portal in Shatter City, he still wouldn’t have had any good feelings for the Thunder Mountain Sect.
He still vividly remembered what the young man from the Realm of Earth Sieve had said right before entering the Heaven Gate that had appeared by the Hell Sect.
Back then, the Realm of Earth Sieve, the Realm of Dark Underworld, and the Realm of Black Marsh had all sent their most talented youngsters to the Realm of Flame Heaven, where they could enter the Heaven Gate and participate in the trial.
Right before they had entered, they had arrogantly revealed that their realms had already reached a mutual understanding to carve up the Realm of Flame Heaven.
If the Demons had failed to kill everyone in the Realm of Flame Heaven after the Heaven Gate trial was over, then they would invade the Realm of Flame Heaven themselves. They had even agreed on how to divide the Realm of Flame Heaven.
Meanwhile, during the Heaven Gate trial, Qi warriors from those three realms had specifically chased and slaughtered participants from the Realm of Flame Heaven.
Nie Tian had never forgotten about those old grudges. Hence, his enmity towards the sects in those three realms had always been there.
Recently, he had witnessed the Thunder Mountain Sect openly rob the Blood Skull’s inter-realm teleportation portal.
He had witnessed powerful experts from the Thunder Mountain Sect slaughtering Hunters and Qi warriors from Shatter City more than a few times on his way to this place.
Killing intent had long since been brooding in his heart.
However, he hadn’t expected that he would catch a Qi warrior from the Thunder Mountain Sect chasing after Shi Qing now that he was about to reach the Void Illusion Mountain Range.
Before, Shi Qing had treated him fairly in Shatter City. Seeing that he was being chased by a Thunder Mountain Sect disciple, Nie Tian couldn’t hold it any longer.
He secretly gathered his strength, hiding in the sand dune.
Moments later, Shi Qing trudged into the area where he was hiding, soaked in blood.
BANG!
The pursuing Thunder Mountain Sect disciple occasionally shot bolts of cyan lighting out of his fingertips. Despite Shi Qing moving about to avoid them, some of them bombarded his back, making him look even more miserable.
The man sneered, looking very relaxed. “You can’t get away,” he said. It was as if he was enjoying this so much that he still wanted to play with Shi Qing for a little longer.
Via his Heaven Eyes, Nie Tian saw that Shi Qing wasn’t heading towards the sand dune where he was hiding.
Therefore, he manipulated one of his Heaven Eyes to quietly float towards Shi Qing, and at the same time, sent a wisp of his awareness into that Heaven Eye.
Blood kept flowing out of the wounds on Shi Qing’s charred back, and his eyes were bloodshot.
In his eyes, the whole world seemed to be painted with blood, and was dark-red.
At this moment, the only thought in his head was to run as fast as he could. Perhaps he still had a chance of making it back to Shatter City.
Another bolt of lightning struck his back, causing blood to spill from his mouth. Staggering, he didn’t dare to turn to look back. He struggled to summon his last remaining spiritual power and trudge forward.
At that moment, a strange wisp of a message seemed to echo out by his ears, “This is Hua Tian. Run past the sand dune that has a piece of cloth on it, and I’ll sneak an attack on that Thunder Mountain Sect disciple from under the sand!”
“Hua Tian!” Shi Qing’s eyes, which had been painted red by blood, suddenly lit up.
He didn’t know how Hua Tian had gotten that clear message through to him.
He also wondered why Hua Tian would appear in this region after being gone for so long.
However, desperate as he was now, Nie Tian’s message came as a silver lining in complete darkness. No matter what, he had to hold on to it.
Therefore, without any delay, he followed the directions Nie Tian had given him and ran toward the sand dune with a piece of cloth on it.
In the scorching sunlight, blood dripped onto the sand from Shi Qing’s back as he climbed over that sand dune. However, he didn’t stop, but instead kept rushing forward without the slightest hesitation.
He didn’t even look back, yet his heart was filled with hope.
He was one of the few Blood Skull members who had personally witnessed Nie Tian’s formidable battle prowess, and knew that he had worked miracles and killed Greater Heaven stage opponents before.
However, the Thunder Mountain Sect disciple who was chasing after him was at the late Greater Heaven stage.
