Chapter 830: A City in Ruins (1/2)
The outsiders fled, but Yin Yanan didn’t pursue them. Instead, she went to collect the dead foreign Qi warriors’ rings of holding, and afterwards, summoned her air-transportation spiritual tool.
After jumping into her air-transportation spiritual tool, she didn’t show the slightest joy of victory. Instead, she said with a grim face, “It’s not safe to stay here. We’d better leave now. Those three may come back for us soon. When they do, they’ll probably bring more powerful outsiders with them.”
Mu Biqiong pondered her words briefly, then jumped on board without saying a word.
Then, the girls threw inquiring gazes at Nie Tian.
Eyes narrowed, Nie Tian had already unleashed his nine Heaven Eyes to track the three outsiders.
However, the speed at which the three of them fled was much faster than he had expected.
Pergson, the Bonebrute, had vanished into the earth, his aura too faint to track.
The other two traveled as fast as lightning. Even the Heaven Eyes failed to keep up, and soon lost track of their auras.
Nie Tian seemed somewhat frustrated as he withdrew his Heaven Eyes and jumped onto the air-transportation spiritual tool. “Let’s go.”
Yin Yanan then started the air-transportation spiritual tool.
The three of them fell silent.
Even though they had fought the outsiders off, they didn’t seem to be happy about their victory at all.
The three outsider youngsters’ mighty strength deeply worried them.
The three of them were only at the sixth grade, which meant they should have had the battle prowess of Profound realm Qi warriors. However, their actual battle prowess far exceeded their grade.
Just Pergson alone had slaughtered those Profound realm foreign Qi warriors as easily as chopping melons and cutting cabbages. (Idiom: killing or beating someone at something very easily)
The Bone Shatterer’s shocking might had left a deep mark on Nie Tian’s mind.
The Flame Star, which Li Ye had spent great time and effort to forge, had accompanied him for many years. He hadn’t expected that the Bone Shatterer would have shattered it with a single strike.
The Flame Star had been customized to suit the three types of power he practiced.
He had been able to infuse it with flame power, wood power, and star power, which had made it very agreeable to him. He had thought it would accompany him for his whole cultivation path.
The destruction of the Flame Star came as quite a blow to him.
If the Bone Shatterer hadn’t cracked the Dao Enlightenment Rock and awoken the eighth grade Frost Blood Python from its meditation, he would still be avoiding Pergson’s pursuit empty-handedly by casting Starshift repeatedly.
It was very consuming to cast Starshift, and he had already infused half of his star power, along with his other powers, into the Flame Star to defend against the Bone Shatterer.
If that battle had gone much longer, he would most likely have used up his star power and ended up being killed by the Bone Shatterer.
Yin Yanan shot a cold, sideways glance at Mu Biqiong, and said with a blaming tone, “You didn’t go all-out just now. You have two demonic flowers growing inside of you, but you only used the black one the entire time.”
Nie Tian had also noticed this.
The two of them had seen the two demonic flowers inside of her up-close in the Realm of Shattered Earth. This time, she had only used the root of the black flower in her fight against the high-tier Demon, and she had already been at a clear advantage.
If she had gone all-out, and unleashed the root of that multicolored flower too, then she would have probably killed that Demon within a short time.
If the high-tier Demon had died, she would have been able to join Yin Yanan in fighting Froste, the Phantasm youngster, and the final results might have been different.
Under Yin Yanan and Nie Tian’s inquiring gazes, Mu Biqiong said, “I wanted to use that flower too, but I couldn’t. If I unleashed them both, they would have clashed with each other, keeping me from displaying my best battle prowess. Right now, I still haven’t figured out a way to fight with both flowers.”
After a short pause, she frowned and added, “Besides, I don’t think I would have been able to kill that Demon even if I could unleash both flowers on him.”
Eyebrows furrowed, Yin Yanan asked, “Why?”
Mu Biqiong sighed weakly and said, “That Demon’s name is Gutas, and he’s from the Second Demon Realm. I sensed that he didn’t go all-out during our fight either. You should know how powerful the Demon clans from the Second Demon Realm are.”
Yin Yanan’s expression flickered. “The Second Demon Realm?!”
Almost every Demon clan from the Second Demon Realm had ninth grade grand patriarchs.
Rumor had it the most ancient Demon clans from the Second Demon Realm had even produced tenth grade grand monarchs at certain points.
The five major sects and three major clans from the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries had contact with a number of Demon clans. However, almost all of them were from the fourth and the fifth Demon Realms, with very few from the Third Demon Realm.
That was because, starting from the Third Demon Realm, the Demon clans began to have ninth grade grand patriarchs. Any Demon clan that had a ninth grade grand patriarch would be stronger than any sect or clan in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.
Not to mention the clans from the Second Demon Realm.
With a grim look in her eyes, she continued, “Those three must be rising stars of their respective races. They all carry powerful bloodlines, and hold mighty magical treasures. Those treasures can increase their battle prowess many times over. The fact that they dared to seek fights with others in the Shatter Battlefield proved how confident they were in themselves.”
