Chapter 666: Slaughter

Zhao Shanling’s face gradually grew cold as he asked, “So what you said earlier about us working together was all bullshit?”

“Sorry, I don’t want this to happen either,” Qi Jiuchuan said with an apologetic expression. “I don’t have a choice. Not to mention that you’re from a domain that’s much more powerful than the one I’m from, I can’t afford to wait for Nie Tian to recover his strength while Liang Hao withers away from the backlash...

“I can’t bet my life on the worthiness of your words, so I can only end that possibility beforehand.”

With these words, Qi Jiuchuan stepped back to put a safe distance between him and Nie Tian and Zhao Shanling.

Zhao Shanling seemed very upset. Even a hint of panic could be seen in his eyes as he hastily jumped backwards. Standing behind Nie Tian, he said, “I was to about make friends with you and the Trisword Sect. Who would have thought that you’d actually do this to me! Are you certain you want to do this, Brother Qi?”

“My apologies, but I’ve already made up my mind!” With these words, intense killing intent built up in Qi Jiuchuan’s eyes as he waved his hand. “Go kill them, Liang Hao!”

Liang Hao was becoming increasingly unstable, destructive flesh aura surging about inside of him.

He was in desperate need of a vent.

If he couldn’t vent the violent flesh power within him on an opponent, it would build up and exceed his capacity, which would eventually cause him to explode and die.

This was the reason why Qi Jiuchuan had decided to get rid of Nie Tian and Zhao Shanling as soon as possible.

Watching Zhao Shanling set Qi Jiuchuan up while pretending to be in shock, Nie Tian couldn’t help but marvel inwardly, “He’s such a terrific actor...”

He had a feeling that Zhao Shanling had never truly wanted to share Master Voidspirit’s legacies with Qi Jiuchuan.

Immediately after confirming that he still had the strength to kill Liang Hao, Zhao Shanling had made the decision to rip off his pretender’s mask.

Zhao Shanling had needed a reason to justify his action, and that was why he had told him to show weakness.

After making some comments inwardly, Nie Tian slowly rose to his feet.

He intentionally circulated his flesh power to make his cuts split even wider.

Blood spilled from the numerous wounds that covered his whole body. Trembling, he jerked his head towards Zhao Shanling and said, “I, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold for too long...”

“You have to!” Zhao Shanling shouted with a fierce expression.

ROOOAARRRR!!

Liang Hao threw his head back and roared, and then two beams of blood-colored light burst forth from the depths of his eyes.

CRACKLE!

As he loosened his shoulders, scary crackling sounds came from the protruding bones in his shoulders and other bones that didn’t seem to match his body.

All of a sudden, he brought his fingers together and formed a sword with his right hand.

As he drove it towards Nie Tian, three beams of scarlet light shot out of the tips of his three disproportionately long fingers.

Without making a sound, Nie Tian gathered his flesh power to his left hand as he lifted it to fend off Liang Hao’s piercing hand sword with his palm.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

Liang Hao’s two shorter fingers suddenly exploded, giving rise to an explosive force.

Simultaneously, his remaining three exceptionally long fingers shed their skin and flesh, revealing thick, long finger bones.

From the look of it, they were bones taken from a Mountainsplit Beast’s claw and transplanted to his hand.

PUFF!

The blood-colored light and Liang Hao’s fingers stabbed into Nie Tian’s palm.

The skin and flesh in Nie Tian’s palm was split and pierced through.

However, Liang Hao’s finger bones were stopped and couldn’t go an inch deeper when they met Nie Tian’s hand bones.

Nie Tian’s crystallized bones had been repeatedly refined with Heavenly Wood Heal. Each and every one of them was even harder than metal.

“Hmm?!” Qi Jiuchuan’s expression flickered as he saw Liang Hao’s vigorous attack being warded off by Nie Tian with nothing but his palm.

The light of contemplation glittered in his eyes as he snuck a glance at Zhao Shanling from afar.
