Chapter 501: Taking the Enemies Out One by One

Nie Tian hid in the lush treetop directly above the dead man while looking down at him.

The thorns sticking out of the man’s chest weren’t physical, but rather formed by pure wood power.

He was also deeply shocked by the formidable might of the Heaven Wood Thorns he had obtained from the mysterious titan.

He couldn’t believe that a wisp of his wood power had actually flown out of his vortex of wood power and infused into the man’s body, where it had absorbed the man’s flesh power and rapidly grown into a small, emerald-green tree.

As the small tree had continued to grow, its sharp thorns had actually easily pierced through the man’s internal organs and killed him almost instantly.

“It can not only absorb others’ flesh power, but also form sharp thorns!”

Eyes shining with the light of excitement, Nie Tian carefully remained stealthy.

At this moment, he saw that a number of spirit vermin had already left Pei Qiqi’s side and started searching for him in the vicinity.

Those spirit vermin rapidly swarmed towards the dead body and hovered around it for some time, yet they failed to capture the aura of Nie Tian’s flesh and blood, who was hiding in the treetop above them.

Relieved, he looked towards Pei Qiqi.

He could see dozens of her traveling back and forth between different spaces. There was no way he could tell which was real and which were illusions.

Since the thousands of spirit vermin also couldn’t tell the real Pei Qiqi from the illusions, they could only fly between different spaces, wasting their energy searching for her.

Meanwhile, one spatial blade after another flashed into appearance, cutting down Jin Lin’s and the others’ life-spirit vermin.

They didn’t dare to rashly enter the area where different spaces seemed to overlap before they could determine which was Pei Qiqi’s real self.

Even though Pei Qiqi was only at the middle Greater Heaven stage, she single-handedly dealt with a sea of spirit vermin with great skill and ease.

The shocking battle prowess Pei Qiqi displayed made Nie Tian let out a sigh of relief. Then, he sent out a wisp of a message via one of his Heaven Eyes,

Pei Qiqi, who was still in her original place, cast a spell immediately after receiving Nie Tian’s message.

Dozens of her instantly spread out in all directions, the area of overlapping spaces spreading with them.

The moment she made her move, Zhang Jiu’s expression flickered as he shouted, “Don’t let her escape!”

All of the Poison Sect disciples, including Sha Cheng and Jin Lin, instantly spread out to chase after the dozens of Pei Qiqis, since they had no way to tell which was the real Pei Qiqi.

SSS! SSS!

Very subtle sounds echoed out from the depths of the forest. Nie Tian took the opportunity and shifted to new locations under the cover of the sounds.

SHEW!

All of a sudden, one of the charming figures of Pei Qiqi came to a stop and slashed her long spatial blade into another life-spirit vermin.

The owner of the vermin let out a sharp cry and, pointing at the figure of Pei Qiqi that had stopped flashing about to attack the life-spirit vermin, he called out, “That’s the real her!”

Eyes wide and excited, he wove his hands in the air and formed a very complicated hand seal.

His life-spirit vermin, which was a black toad, puffed up its cheek and spewed out a mouthful of ink-black venom.

Pei Qiqi shot him a glance as she reached out with one hand, gesturing with her index and middle fingers in a sword figure. Immediately afterwards, a beam of silver-white blade light shot out of them.

The blade light scattered the ink-black venom, and then exploded, splitting into numerous smaller, silver-while blades of light that swarmed towards the toad.

A layer of misty, black light gradually rose from the black toad, as if it were some kind of defensive ward.

Staring hard at Pei Qiqi, the owner of the toad switched between hand seals as he suddenly unleashed a secret soul magic of the Poison Sect.

Pei Qiqi let out a cold harrumph as she formed a hand seal with her other hand.

A spatial energy ward instantly came to form around her, blocking the man’s soul attacking magic.

The man let out a muffled groan and staggered backwards.

Seeing that the man had backed into his attack range, Nie Tian, who was hiding in the tree behind him, launched a sneak attack with the same method as earlier. “Heaven Wood Thorns!”

Numerous beams of fresh-green aura fell from the treetop towards the man’s shoulders like cotton threads.

The man instantly raised his head and looked coldly into the thick treetop. “Hey!I knew you’d strike again!”

He, who seemed to have long since prepared for this, shot a black feather out of his cuff that instantly burst into black flames, forming a cluster of flames over him that was just big enough to block the incoming beams of green light.
