Chapter 840: Fata, the Floragrim (1/2)

Right before the Earth Spirit Sect disciples were about to reach Nie Tian’s location on their air-transportation spiritual tool, fear appeared in their eyes as they exclaimed, “I’m afraid that puppet won’t be easy to deal with, future sectmaster!”

The Bone Blood Demon was standing on guard by Nie Tian right outside the Wood Thriving Formation.

Like a god of bones, the enormous Bone Blood Demon looked very awe-inspiring.

In fact, its formidable might was the main reason why Yin Yanan and Mu Biqiong had dared to leave Nie Tian alone.

Both of them had witnessed the Bone Blood Demon’s terrifying battle prowess, and assumed that Fata, the Floragrim, wouldn’t dare to make a move against Nie Tian as long as it was there to protect him.

“It’s only a puppet,” Qiu Ji said, his face ice-cold and filling with killing intent. “There’s nothing to fear. My gravity-altering incantation will greatly limit the mobility of something that large. The larger things are, the more they’ll be affected by my strengthened gravitational field. Once I cast my spell, that puppet won’t even be able to move about, much less pose a threat to us!”

With these words, Qiu Ji and the other Earth Spirit Sect disciples flew to Nie Tian’s side.

Qiu Ji assumed that since Nie Tian, Mu Biqiong, and Yin Yanan were on the same team, the girls must attach great importance to Nie Tian’s safety. By killing him, he would get back at the girls.

“Those two bitches dared to set themselves against me and the Earth Spirit Sect! No matter who they are, they must suffer!” With these words, Qiu Ji took out that earthy-yellow rock and altered the gravitational field around him with the earth power it contained.

The gravity in the area where Nie Tian was instantly skyrocketed.

Feeling the strengthened gravity, a shred of anger flashed across the Bone Blood Demon’s dark-green eyes as it stood unwavering by the Wood Thriving Formation.

Its mobility was indeed limited by the sudden change in gravity as it swung its huge arms to swat at the incoming air-transportation spiritual tools.

One air-transportation spiritual tool after another flew through the space under its slowed arms and arrived directly above the Wood Thriving Formation.

Chai Fengwu from the Martial Spirit Sect saw what was happening, and thus couldn’t help but shout, “Big brother!”

Chai Longge hesitated for a few seconds before finally making up his mind and yelling, “Help Nie Tian fight those people from the Earth Spirit Sect!”

The brother-sister pair then sprang to their feet and flew towards Qiu Ji, leaving their Fortune Wells behind.

Since Chai Longge had intentionally yelled at the top of his lungs, Mu Biqiong and Yin Yanan, who were in distant locations, also noticed what was happening at Nie Tian’s location.

The two of them fixated their furious gazes on Qiu Ji simultaneously.

Also at this moment, other cultivators and outsiders sniffed opportunities, and quietly gathered to Yin Yanan’s and Mu Biqiong’s locations.

They either practiced wood power or frost power.

Obviously, they intended to occupy Yin Yanan and Mu Biqiong’s Fortune Wells as soon as they left. They would channel frost power and wood power from them as fast as they could, and use them to improve their battle prowess.

The girls saw right through their plans, and thus grew hesitant.

At that very moment, the Floragrim who referred to himself as Fata flung his arm towards the Earth Spirit Sect disciples with a disgusted look on his face.

In the next moment, an emerald bamboo stalk grew out of his palm.

The bamboo had many joints, all of which were translucent and sparkling, as if they contained a shockingly large amount of wood power essence.

As the bamboo swept across in the air, dazzling green light split heaven and earth like a sword of light.

FZZZ!

The green light slashed through one of the Earth Spirit Sect’s air-transportation spiritual tools, and it split in half like a piece of paper.

This strike was every bit as mighty as the ones Mu Biqiong had launched with that black root growing out of her palm, if not mightier.

Splitting along with that air-transportation spiritual tool were two screaming Earth Spirit Sect disciples. Their blood spilled in all directions before their mangled bodies fell into the bubbling dark gray marshland, where they vanished in the blink of an eye.

“You!” Qiu Ji shouted furiously, glaring at Fata. “We only came for that man! In fact, we were going to give his Fortune Well to you!”

Completely ignoring him, Fata continued to swing the green bamboo stalk that had grown out of his palm.

Its dazzling green light seemed to carry some all-conquering divine power.

Two more Earth Spirit Sect air-transportation spiritual tools shattered to pieces, as if they were made of paper. All of the Earth Spirit Sect disciples on them died miserable deaths.

“I made myself perfectly clear that I’m here to observe and learn from those tree patterns, not for that Fortune Well,” Fata said in fluent human language. “You thought I was trying to trick people or something?”

That was in fact exactly what Qiu Ji had assumed.

He had thought Fata would form an alliance with them and help them kill Nie Tian in order to take those tree branches and that Fortune Well.

He had never thought that as an outsider, Fata would help Nie Tian fight them instead.

Chai Longge and Chai Fengwu, who were just about to go help Nie Tian defend against the Earth Spirit Sect disciples regardless of Qiu Ji’s status as the future sectmaster of the Earth Spirit Sect, suddenly went blank.
