Chapter 736: Forced to Help (2/2)

Nie Tian shot a cold look at Xing Beichen, Chu Bowen, and the others. “Their safety has nothing to do with me. They can live and die on their own.”

Qiao Yunxi fell silent, fiery light flowing in the depths of her eyes, as if she was pondering the matter.

She assumed that Nie Tian would still be able to merge with his Bone Blood Demon and display unmatched battle prowess.

According to Xing Beichen and Chu Bowen, there weren’t any eighth grade experts among the Demons and Stonemen they had encountered. Considering the shocking battle prowess the Bone Blood Demon had displayed before, she was convinced that Nie Tian did have the ability to keep her safe.

However, she didn’t know that Nie Tian was actually thinking of protecting her through another method.

“Listen to me, disciples of the Beast-controlling Sect,” Yin Yanan suddenly called out. “We’ll take a break on this meteor. Do you best to recover your strength.”

Riding the Frost Blood Python, she was the first to descend on the meteor Nie Tian was on, and started recovering with spirit stones and medicinal pills.

Even though the disciples of the Beast-controlling Sect didn’t quite understand the reason behind this, they did as they were bid and also landed, and started treating their wounds and recovering their strength.

Chu Bowen was taken aback. “What are you doing, Sister Yanan?”

Without even looking at Nie Tian, Yin Yanan said with a composed expression, “That bastard is here too. If the Stonemen pursue us to this meteor, he’ll have to do something. That puppet of his is more than capable of killing all of the Stonemen pursuers for us. We’ll just stick closely with him and see what he’ll do.”

The eyes of the disciples of the three parties lit up upon hearing her words, realizing that this was actually a good idea.

A hint of a smile appeared on Qiao Yunxi’s face, as she also felt that Yin Yanan’s rascally approach might actually help them get rid of the pursuing Stonemen.

They all assumed that Nie Tian’s Bone Blood Demon would still be able to display the same terrifying battle prowess as before.

Only Nie Tian knew that their assumption was wrong.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

One air-transportation spiritual tool after another landed on the meteor.

The members of the three parties clamored as they either treated the injured or recovered with spirit stones and medicinal pills, none of them paying any attention to Nie Tian.

“Have you forgotten that I said that I’ll kill you all?” Nie Tian suddenly asked with an icy tone.

Xing Beichen and the others’ expressions instantly flickered.

It didn’t matter whether they were recovering or healing the injured, they all froze and fixed Nie Tian with vigilant gazes.

Like an enrage female beast, Yin Yanan leapt in front of Nie Tian in the blink of an eye. Fury filling her face, she said, “Come on then! Kill me now!”

Qiao Yunxi hastily rushed over and called out as she did, “Nie Tian! Don’t do it!”

Face ice-cold, Yin Yanan looked right into Nie Tian’s eyes. Even her well-built body trembled slightly with emotion. “I helped you twice when that Phantasm soul attempted to possess you. Let’s see whether you’re going to kill the person who saved you!”

Seeing her sticking her neck out, Nie Tian recalled when her soul awareness had flew into his mind to help him fight the Phantasm soul.

His heart grew soft.

He let out a sigh and asked with a somewhat reluctant expression, “How many Stonemen are chasing you, and what grade are they at?”

His original plan was to only keep Qiao Yunxi by his side. With Life Stealth, he would be able to mask their flesh auras.

Stonemen weren’t skilled in soul magics. They could normally only scan their surroundings by detecting flesh auras.

As long as they hid in that hole and masked their flesh auras, the Stonemen wouldn’t be able to sense their presence.

However, now that Yin Yanan and the others were also staying with him, he had to think of another way.

The fact that he asked about the number and grade of the Stonemen pursuers was because he wanted to know whether they would be able to fight them with their current strength.

“Most of them are at the fifth grade,” Qiao Yunxi hastily answered.“Only two or three are at the sixth grade. The only two seventh grade Stonemen experts are fighting Chu Xuanji and the other seniors. So you should be able to take them out with the help of your puppet.”

“Three sixth grade Stonemen...” Nie Tian muttered to himself.

Sixth grade outsiders were as powerful as Profound realm human experts. Even though the Bone Blood Demon only had ten percent of its strength left and couldn’t merge with him again, it wouldn’t be very difficult for it to kill them by just relying on its remaining strength and its solid body.

The Stonemen’s flesh aura was much more vigorous than that of humans.

By killing them, the Bone Blood Demon would be able to refine their blood to replenish its flesh power.

Yin Yanan was at the late Worldly realm. Xing Beichen was at the early Profound realm. The others’ cultivation bases weren’t very low either. They would be able to handle the less powerful Stonemen to shoulder some of the pressure.

As long as they could win this battle, the Bone Blood Demon would be able to recover strength with the dead Stonemen’s blood, while he would be able to absorb their remaining flesh power with Life Drain to satisfy his bloodline aura’s endless desire.

With these thoughts in mind, he finally made a decision.

“Alright, let’s wait for the Stonemen pursuers,” Nie Tian said loudly. “But I want to be clear on one thing: I won’t take any of their valuables after the battle, but I’ll take their bodies.”

“Deal!” Qiao Yunxi said decisively.

Nie Tian shot a glance at Yin Yanan.

Yin Yanan let out a cold snort. “You’ll be our main battle force. Their corpses are yours as long as we win.”

“Good.”
