Chapter 715: Soul Crystals at the Lake Bottom (1/2)

Hong Xian and the others from the Beast-controlling Sect stood aghast upon seeing the Bone Blood Demon.

Nie Tian had long since learned about the Wood Thriving Formation’s special features. Due to his own uniqueness, the spell formation didn’t have any restrictive effect on him, which meant he would be able to enter and exit it freely.

However, any living being other than him would only be able to exit the Wood Thriving Formation.

He unleashed the Bone Blood Demon inside the spell formation this time. Under his command, it charged out of the spell formation with only three huge steps.

As the Bone Blood Demon, which was more than thirty meters tall, stood in front of Hong Xian and the others, their expressions flickered drastically.

The Bone Blood Demon was releasing a special aura that seemed to be able to annihilate all lives and silence heaven and earth. This was the high-tier Bonebrutes’ unique bloodline power.

It didn’t matter if it was Hong Xian or the Frost Blood Python, they all seemed puny when compared to the Bone Blood Demon.

The Frost Blood Python, which saw Nie Tian as a great nourishment pill, looked skywards at the Bone Blood Demon and sniffed its aura. In the next moment, fear appeared in its icy eyes.

Thanks to its shrewd perception of auras, the Frost Blood Python instantly realized that the Bone Blood Demon was stronger than itself.

“This... This is a Bonebrute!” Yin Yanan exclaimed in shock.

“This is a Bonebrute turned into a puppet!” Hong Xian managed to see through the truth with a single glance at the Bone Blood Demon. He couldn’t help but take a step back and raise his hand, warning his sect members against making any rash moves.

In fact, even if he didn’t warn them, Yin Yanan and the other Beast-controlling Sect disciples knew not to approach the Bone Blood Demon.

A shudder ran through Qiao Yunxi as she shouted the words, “Nie Tian! You own this Bonebrute puppet?!”

At this moment, she finally realized what had given him the confidence to confront Hong Xian and Yin Yanan. He hadn’t been bluffing at all.

In her senses, this Bone Blood Demon’s battle prowess was definitely higher than that of the Frost Blood Python’s.

He actually had the ability to ‘return the favor’ if the Frost Blood Python came after him again.

Standing in the middle of the Wood Thriving Formation, Nie Tian stared at Hong Xian and said, “Don’t blame me for unleashing it on you if you dare to make a move!”

The fact that Hong Xian and the other experts had failed to send their soul awareness into the Wood Thriving Formation seemed to have given him confidence.

He believed that as long as he didn’t come out of the spell formation, Hong Xian wouldn’t be able to hurt him with his soul attacks.

However, he would be able to command the Bone Blood Demon to attack him or the other Beast-controlling Sect disciples.

At this moment, the lake was still emanating strange fluctuations. Hong Xian still had to spare some of his soul power to protect the Beast-controlling Sect disciples he had brought to this place.

Under such a circumstance, there was no way he could focus on fighting someone.

If he did, those Beast-controlling Sect disciples would be in danger.

Hong Xian’s face grew very grim.

He had long suspected that Nie Tian had something powerful at his disposal, but he had never expected it to be so powerful.

In his senses, he didn’t think he would be able to defeat the Bone Blood Demon even with the Frost Blood Python there to help him.

On a second thought, he didn’t need to fight Nie Tian to the death over this.

At this critical moment, Yin Yanan broke the tension by saying, “Forget it. Since he doesn’t want to help us, let’s get out of here now. Why don’t you take them to a safe location first, Senior Hong? We didn’t come to this place to fight people.”

“That’s right,” Hong Xian said, fixing Nie Tian with a cold gaze. With these words, he left with the weak members of the Beast-controlling Sect, protecting them with his soul power.

Yin Yanan, however, didn’t leave with them. She took another deep look at the enormous Bone Blood Demon, and said, “Now that we’re facing great danger, I hope we can help instead of fighting each other.”

“If you had asked in such a manner earlier, things wouldn’t have gone this far,” Nie Tian said with an expressionless face.

Yin Yanan shook her head in silence and left, riding her Frost Blood Python.

“What level is your puppet’s battle prowess at, Nie Tian?” Qiao Yunxi asked rather excitedly.

“About the same level as that of a late Soul realm expert,” Nie Tian answered.

Qiao Yunxi suddenly grew angry. “You asshole! Why didn’t you unleash it on that bitch from the Bliss Mountain Sect when you sensed her ambushing us on the meteor we went to to get that divine flame seal?! If you had, we wouldn’t have needed to run from them. In fact, we might have killed those bastards already!”

Nie Tian gave her a sideways look and said coldly, “You never told me how many people were after you and how powerful they were. How would I know if there were other powerful experts coming to kill you or not!?”

Qiao Yunxi fell silent.

In fact, she had been rather cold to Nie Tian back then.
