Chapter 575: Crushing the Enemy (2/2)
The moment Pei Qiqi caught sight of them, she surprisingly withdrew her Thousand Prisons, which was putting Zhang Jiu and the Heaven Palace Sect disciples under great pressure. With an expressionless face, she shot Nie Tian a glance and said, “You guys can take it from here.”
Standing perfectly still, she started to thrum with subtle spatial fluctuations.
Nie Tian examined her through his Heaven Eyes, and learned that every time Pei Qiqi engaged in battle, she would sustain some minor internal injuries. The reason why she had stopped attacking those people might be because she deemed that, with the new incoming forces, Nie Tian and the others would be able to finish off the remaining enemies without her help.
She also did it to save her strength.
“Shameless bastards!”
“Kill them all! Don’t let anyone escape!”
The Yin Sect and Yang Sect disciples shouted furiously as they charged onto the battlefield. Facing Zhang Jiu and the others, they held nothing back and struck to kill.
As of this moment, they had already forgotten about the Heaven Palace Sect’s influence, and the fact that the Heaven Palace Sect might seek trouble with them after they returned to the Domain of the Falling Stars.
Nie Tian wanted to get rid of Su Lin, but as he attempted to locate her with the help of his Heaven Eyes, he couldn’t find any traces of her.
It seemed that she practiced some Heaven Palace Sect secret magic, or possessed some unique spiritual tool, that allowed her to escape the detection of his Heaven Eyes. Even though she hadn’t left for long, it seemed as if she had vanished into thin air.
After realizing that Yu Yang and Liao Yan had died, while Su Lin and Yang Kan had left without saying a word, the ones they had left behind cursed in loud voices as they scattered and fled in different directions like a bunch of scared rats.
The people from the Ice Pavilion Sect, the Yin Sect, the Yang Sect, and the Realm of a Hundred Battles didn’t show any mercy. They split up and chased after them.
Dong Li and Dong Baijie also joined the hunt, and soon disappeared into the distance.
After giving Nie Tian another glance, Pei Qiqi also sped away. Even though it looked like she was chasing after the fleeing enemies, Nie Tian knew that she was actually going into hiding again. She didn’t want any more contact with any of them.
Moments later, Nie Tian, Qin Yan, and Feng Ying became the only ones that remained in this place.
Qin Yan and Feng Ying didn’t leave because they had suffered severe injuries, and thus had to stay.
After taking a few medicinal pills, Qin Yan’s face still looked rather pale. Looking somewhat embarrassed, she said, “Umm... Would you tell Miss Pei thanks next time you see her? I can tell that she doesn’t like me. But if it weren’t for her, Feng Ying and I probably would have been killed before you arrived.”
Nie Tian took a glance at Qin Yan and said with an expressionless face, “Sure.”
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Qin Yan muttered, looking downcast, “I don’t know what she went through recently that has raised her strength to such a high level that even I felt terrified by her. If I possessed such formidable battle prowess, I would have been able to save my friends from the claws of Yang Kan and the others.”
With these words, she was interrupted by a violent cough. A mouthful of blood escaped her mouth.
Looking even more pale, she continued with a bitter expression, “I admit that I was in the wrong. I shouldn’t have said those things to make Gu Haofeng hate you. I, I only did it...” She snuck a glance at Feng Ying, and didn’t finish her sentence.
Nie Tian wasn’t sure what she wanted to say, but seeing that she had admitted to her misdeed and that she was in such a sorry state, he decided to forgive her.
“Forget about it. That’s already in the past. Seeing you like this, I’m not in the mood to find fault with you.” He waved his hand, beckoning for her to sit down. “You’d better sit down and recover. It’s hard to say whether the outsiders will gather more forces and come back for us.”
Qin Yan listened to him and sat down in the lotus position. In a soft voice, she said, “You’re right. Even though the outsiders are gone for now, the threat is far from over. I can’t believe that Su Lin would lead those people here and make an attempt on our lives. I thought she understood the bigger picture. Who would have known...”
Nie Tian’s eyes were filled with contempt as he said, “Even if she tried to tell them off, she wasn’t strong enough. By just by relying on her status, she can’t make madmen like Yang Kan follow her orders. If she were as strong as Pei Qiqi, then adding in the Heaven Palace Sect’s influence, she might be able to bring those people to heel.”
Qin Yan nodded slightly. “Good point.”
Off to the side, Feng Ying couldn’t help but give a agonized groan. Immediately afterwards, she said in a low and apologetic voice, “S-sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt you. I’m just in a lot of pain.”
Nie Tian looked over, and after examining her with the help of his Heaven Eyes, he frowned.
Even though he detested Qin Yan, Feng Ying had given him a good impression.
After determining Feng Ying’s injuries, he pondered briefly, and then moved behind her with a swift move. “Try to calm yourself and let your guard down. I’ll help you heal your injuries.”
With these words, he practiced Heavenly Wood Heal and started healing her with his rich wood power.
As soon as the wisps of wood power flowed through his hands into Feng Ying’s back, her eyes lit up. The painful expression on her face was instantly eliminated.
