Chapter 749: Backlash (1/2)
The sword lights spun faster and faster around Xing Beichen and eventually turned into a storm of sword lights, nearly blocking Xing Beichen from sight.
BANG! BANG!
Loud sounds came from behind Xing Beichen’s back as Yin Yanan let out pained screams, as if she had suffered heavy blows.
The fiery clouds Qiao Yunxi had created with her Nine Yang Pearls were torn to shreds like a piece of canvas as they descended on the storm of sword lights.
At the same time, a terrifying gravitational force was born within the storm of sword lights, where Xing Beichen was.
Many small rocks in the surroundings were attracted and flew towards Xing Beichen from all directions.
As soon as they fell into the storm, they were chopped up and became flying dust that filled the sky.
Nie Tian, Qiao Yunxi, and Yin Yanan also instantly sensed the gravitational force, and started moving uncontrollably towards Xing Beichen as well.
Nie Tian couldn’t see Yin Yanan, who was blocked from sight by Xing Beichen. However, he could see Qiao Yunxi’s face turning red as she did her utmost to fight the strong gravitational force.
FZZZ!
Qiao Yunxi’s garments were suddenly ripped from her, leaving only a tight suit of armor.
The suit of armor was as thin as cicadas’ wings, and seemed to be made of the skin of some fire-attributed spirit beast. It matched her curves perfectly, and somehow managed to stay on her without being ripped to shreds by the strong gravitational force.
Meanwhile, Qiao Yunxi’s curvaceous body loomed under the suit of thin armor.
She looked very anxious, yet didn’t know what to do. She turned to look at Nie Tian repeatedly, hoping he could somehow match Xing Beichen’s terrifying battle prowess.
Originally, she had been the farthest away from Xing Beichen. However, under the irresistible gravitational force, she couldn’t help but stumble towards the storm of sword lights, as if she was eager to charge into it and turn herself into mangled flesh and bones.
At this crucial moment, Nie Tian once again launched a secret magic he had learned from the titans. “Primal Chaos!”
A variety of powers mixed, forming a magnetic field completely different from Xing Beichen’s.
However, since he couldn’t use his soul power, the Primal Chaos was less mighty than it should have been.
As the Primal Chaos spread with Nie Tian at its center and came into contact with the storm of sword lights, numerous spots of light seemed to be attracted and started swarming towards Xing Beichen, along with a mysterious force that could twist heaven and earth and render all other forces disordered.
Xing Beichen gasped upon seeing this.
Numerous spots of light exploded like fireworks after entering the storm of blade lights. Xing Beichen’s gasp turned into a muffled groan.
In the next moment, Nie Tian saw every bit of the power of the Primal Chaos flying uncontrollably into the storm of sword lights, along with every dashing light and shining spot.
The hovering sword lights, which had been vested with spirits by the Seven Ultimate Soul-splitting Sword Formation, instantly fell into chaos.
Originally, they had never collided with one another, even though there were thousands of them.
However, now that Nie Tian’s Primal Chaos had ‘merged’ with the storm of sword lights, the sword lights started flying into one another, giving rise to loud clunks.
Because of this, not only did the storm of sword lights instantly fall apart, but Xing Beichen also suffered a severe backlash.
One sword light after another rapidly shot uncontrollably in every direction.
The flying sword lights first reached Yin Yanan and Nie Tian, who were the closest to Xing Beichen. Numerous tiny bloody holes were created in Nie Tian’s shoulders, chest, and arms.
Soon, he was covered in blood.
Yin Yanan also let out sharp screams, as she apparently suffered from the same situation.
Qiao Yunxi, however, scrambled backwards as soon as the storm of sword lights fell apart and the gravitational force disappeared. Since she was the farthest from Xing Beichen, she managed to escape in time, and didn’t sustain any serious wounds.
CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
As the flying sword lights crashed to the ground, Xing Beichen’s figure once again appeared.
He was still holding that black spiritual sword in hand, though blood was now flowing from the corners of his eyes and rolling down his cheeks, giving him a sinister look.
Panting heavily, Xing Beichen fixed Nie Tian with a bewildered gaze. “Such a strong field power… You’re only at the Worldly realm. How did you come to master such a strange field power?!”
Even though Yin Yanan was covered in blood, her eyes brimmed with ecstasy as she exclaimed, “The Seven Ultimate Soul-splitting Sword Formation has fallen apart! Xing Beichen! Now that your soul is injured, you won’t be able to use your Seven Ultimate Soul-splitting Sword Formation anymore!”
After hearing her exclamation, Nie Tian and Qiao Yunxi also quickly noticed that the strange force that had restrained their soul awareness had disappeared.
“Come on out!”
