Chapter 827: Outsider Chosen Ones (2/2)
“There’s a problem, Nie Tian,” She whispered.
Nie Tian had already noticed the anomaly, but he remained calm as he asked the Phantasm youngster, “Where are your friends? Let me guess. One of them is a Demon, and the other is a Bonebrute. Am I right?”
The man who had talked to Yin Yanan earlier burst into a flaming rage. “You knew that outsiders have been lurking in the dark?!”
“Yeah, I knew,” Nie Tian answered with understatement.
The Phantasm youngster held out his thumb towards Nie Tian. “Impressive. I can’t believe you actually sensed our presence. You three are what we came for. The others are only add-ons.”
Then, his eyes suddenly narrowed. “You seem to have something that shouldn’t belong to you.”
“What are you talking about?” Nie Tian asked.
The Phantasm youngster’s eyes shone with the light of excitement. “A Spirit Pearl.”
With these words, the prismatic crystal between his eyebrows suddenly burst forth with bright light.
Fine cyan lightning bolts then appeared and interwove within the prismatic crystal, as if they were manipulating the Dark Soul Ward.
Like a huge net, the Dark Soul Ward started to shrink at an alarming speed, the space inside of it becoming smaller and smaller.
CRACK!
All of a sudden, the ground where everyone was standing cracked, and a translucent bony hand thrust out.
Standing on the crack was a middle Profound realm Qi warrior. The bony hand caught him by his ankle and dragged him into the earth.
The man’s bloodcurdling scream came from under the ground, but stopped abruptly in the next moment.
The remaining four Qi warriors gasped with shock as they hastily jumped away. “That’s a Bonebrute!”
Blood spilled from the crack in the earth, which indicated the man’s instant death.
Then, a short Bonebrute slowly climbed out of the bloody crack.
However, he didn’t have a single shred of blood on his translucent and sparkling bones after he came out. Misty light could be seen flowing within his jade-like skeleton.
An aura that could wither all things gradually rose from his small bony body, and pervaded the entire area.
All of the Qi warriors in his surroundings gasped with astonishment as they hastily infused their wards with more spiritual power to stop the aura of death from infiltrating them.
“Bonebrute...” With a surprised expression, Nie Tian examined the Bonebrute. After a moment of pondering, he asked, “Do you know Xing Bo from the Thousandsword Mountain Sect? He’s from the Domain of Heaven Python.”
After Xing Bo’s collusion with the Bonebrutes had been brought to light, he had escaped the pursuit of the Thousandsword Mountain Sect’s experts, along with a Void domain elder. With the Bonebrutes’ help, they had fled to a Bonebrute realm.
Before he had left, he had claimed that he would enter the Shatter Battlefield, and people were welcome to come and settle accounts with him.
Xing Bo had killed Zhen Huilan and captured Pei Qiqi. Nie Tian had long since put him on his must-kill list.
That was why he thought of Xing Bo as soon as he saw a Bonebrute.
“Xing Bo... the Domain of Heaven Python...” the Bonebrute youngster muttered in fluent human language. “He sounds familiar, but I can’t be sure. I suppose he has connections with another branch of our race, and has also come to the Shatter Battlefield through our spatial tunnel.”
Nie Tian’s eyes lit up. “Do you know where he is?”
The Bonebrute youngster ran his round eyes up and down Nie Tian. With a puzzled expression, he said, “You’re going to die soon. Why do you still care about that?”
With these words, he summoned a bone saber that was only half a meter long.
However, as soon as he did, the death Qi in the air seemed to suddenly seethe.
With a quick motion, he swung the bone saber towards the four Profound realm Qi warriors.
Numerous sparkling and crystal-clear spots flew out of the bone saber as an overwhelming aura of death instantly engulfed the four.
The bone saber seemed to be vested with unlimited power by Death.
Deeply panicked, they screamed within the thick aura of death, as if they had recognized the Bonebrute youngster, “That’s that legendary bone saber!”
CRACK! CRACK!
Their spiritual tools and spiritual armor were all as fragile as paper before the bone saber. They shattered along with their owners.
As the Bonebrute made a few slashing motions with the bone saber, the four Qi warriors were cut to pieces. Then, their death aura was channeled away from their mangled bodies and absorbed by the bone saber, which made the bright spots on the bone saber even brighter.
The most powerful of the four Qi warriors was at the late Profound realm.
However, none of them were able to even hold on for a few seconds facing the bone saber.
At this point, the foreign Qi warriors who had been gathered around the Dao Enlightenment Rock had all been wiped out.
Not the slightest change could be seen in the Bonebrute youngster’s eyes after he slaughtered the four Qi warriors. He turned to the Phantasm youngster and demanded, “I want half of the Silicon Silver.”
At this moment, a thunderous voice came from the distance. “I want that eighth grade python!”
In the next moment, a tall youngster dressed in black garments and a violet-gold belt strode into everyone’s view.
Judging from his purple hair and pupils, he was clearly a high-tier Demon. However, the ferocious look in his eyes made him look like a frenzied beast from Demon realms, not a creature with remarkable intelligence.
Raging flesh auras wreathed him as he arrived in the blink of an eye.
A vicious smile appeared on the Phantasm youngster’s face as he laid his eyes on Nie Tian and the girls and said, “Alright, I’ll take the other half of the Silicon Silver and that Spirit Pearl.”
The three outsiders rapidly reached a mutual understanding.
“The Spirit Pearl...” Nie Tian sent a wisp of soul awareness into his ring of holding. In the next moment, the Spirit Pearl flew out and landed in his palm.
“You do have a Spirit Pearl!” The Phantasm youngster exclaimed, looking overjoyed.
“Come on out!” As Nie Tian shouted these words, the Bone Blood Demon also flew out of his ring of holding and landed with a loud crash.
The sight of the Bone Blood Demon put burning fury in the Bonebrute youngster’s eyes. “A senior of our race! I can’t believe you actually turned him into a puppet!”
Pointing at Nie Tian, he shouted, “He’s mine!”
