Chapter 868: Acquaintances Reconvene (2/2)
What surprised him was that the amount of tainted energies gathered around Nie Tian soared as he leapt towards him.
The amount of tainted energies around someone was determined by his or her strength.
Therefore, he sensed danger as soon as he saw tainted energies building up around Nie Tian at an alarming rate.
All of a sudden, Nie Tian activated Life Strengthening, and flashed to Armes in a split second with a Starshift.
He clenched his fist and unleashed Titan’s Wrath.
Raging flesh power instantly bore down on Armes, along with devastating flame power and pure spiritual power.
BOOM!
Armes’ body immediately blew up like a ripe watermelon that was dropped to the ground.
Mangled flesh filling the air, Armes died an instant, violent death.
Nie Tian shook his head and muttered, “A fifth grade Phantasm like you is far too weak for me now...”
To unleash this furious strike, he had only summoned a small amount of flesh power, flame power, and pure spiritual power.
In his eyes, such a strike could only be viewed as a warm-up procedure.
However, Armes, whom he had fought in a well-matched battle years ago, actually exploded after taking such a strike.
“My bloodline has upgraded six times, allowing me to awaken six bloodline talents. So by comparing our bloodline power alone, I’m already stronger than him. Then, I summoned different powers to unleash Titan’s Wrath. With such power, killing the fifth grade Armes was indeed as easy as blowing away a speck of dust.” (Idiom: very little effort)
With these thoughts in mind, he grinned and flashed to Sylon the Fiend and Tago the Demon successively, where he unleashed Titan’s Wrath two more times.
BANG! BANG!
Sylon and Tago also exploded instantly without even putting up a fight.
Nie Tian shook his head repeatedly as he sighed and muttered, “Weak, far too weak.
“Back when we first met on that island, any of you could put me in great trouble. But now you’ve become so fragile that you can’t handle a single strike from me. Killing you is so easy that I don’t even enjoy it.”
Then, he went on and activated a few more short-range Starshifts.
As he flashed back and forth between places, several outsiders who he found familiar exploded one by one.
Gutas’ eyebrows knotted as he watched Tago, who was also a Demon, being reduced to bits of flying flesh. Then, he called out to Froste, “Froste, that man has become even stronger than when we last saw him!”
Not long ago, he had been invited to a joint attack targeting Nie Tian. Back then, Nie Tian’s bloodline had been at the fifth grade.
Even if he had unleashed his bloodline power, it wouldn’t have been so overwhelmingly powerful.
Not to mention, Nie Tian hadn’t used a shred of his bloodline power to fight them back then. All he had used was the Bone Blood Demon, the Spirit Pearl, and his spiritual power.
“He’s not a normal human, but a hybrid!” Froste said with a very grim expression. “It’s just that I can’t seem to identify the bloodline he carries.”
A few outsiders close to him heard him, their expression flickering drastically. “A hybrid!?”
These outsiders from ancient clans had long since heard that several formidable human sects like the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace had attempted to make hybrids of humans and outsiders for a very long time now. Their purpose was to steal the outsiders’ powerful bloodline power in order to solve the humans’ lifespan problem.
Therefore, the existence of hybrids in those powerful human sects was already no secret.
However, most of the hybrids turned out to be failures, and even less accomplished than normal humans. Those who actually gained long lifespans and tough bodies were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Who would have thought they would actually run into a successful hybrid in a cave in the Bloody Grave Mountain Range?
“This is a bit tricky now,” Froste muttered softly in the outsiders’ language, but didn’t seem very worried. “But being powerful is a very complicated thing.”
Then, he gave Pergson a sideways glance and asked, “How about you go take care of him?”
Pergson the Bonebrute was fighting the young man who had planned to set up Nie Tian and the girls. He had gained control of the situation, as his death power had already infiltrated into the fan-wielding young man’s flesh and blood, making him struggle.
Upon hearing Froste’s words, Pergson ended his battle against the young man in an unhurried fashion. Then, he laid his eyes on Nie Tian and said in the outsiders’ language, “Sure.”
In the human language, he said to Nie Tian, “You’ll be no match for me here. Although, I’ve got to admit that you’re a good fighter. In fact, you might have a chance at beating me if I didn’t have my Bone Shatterer. But as long as I have it, you’d better run.”
Pergson was well-aware that Nie Tian’s Bone Blood Demon would be limited to a large extent if they were to fight in this place.
First of all, the Bone Blood Demon was too large to move about freely in the cave. Secondly, its vigorous flesh power would make it suffer from a tremendous amount of tainted energy.
Besides, his Bone Shatterer had an innate subduing effect on the Bone Blood Demon.
Therefore, his confidence was well-founded.
“Go help him, Han Sen!” A resounding voice suddenly echoed out. It was a man in golden garments, who was now gazing coldly at the young man who practiced lightning power.
From the look of it, he wasn’t fond of the young man either, but considering the situation, all the humans had to band together.
The Han Sen he referred to was none other than the vicious young man who had been fighting Pergson and failing.
At this moment, he was driving death power out of himself in silence, hoping that Nie Tian would take care of Pergson for him.
He was clearly unhappy to do as he was told, but he still dragged his reluctant steps towards Nie Tian, while muttering, “Why always me...”
