Chapter 894: Suffering from Their Own Doing (1/2)

Wu Xu was killed in a split second.

The other four sensed the danger, and thus fled without even the slightest hesitation.

However, of all choices, they chose to fled in Nie Tian and the others’ direction.

Clearly, the four of them intended to lead Yuan Jiuchuan to Nie Tian’s group to create trouble for them.

At the spatial rift, Wu Xu’s corpse fell out of the sea of lightning and crashed to the ground with a loud crash.

There wasn’t a shred of lightning power left in his ice-cold body, his spiritual sea completely dry and ring of holding taken away by Yuan Jiuchuan.

Floating in the middle of the sea of lightning, Yuan Jiuchuan seemed like a god of lightning as he gazed coldly in the direction the four Qi warriors had fled in.

WHOOSH!

Lightning flashed, thunder rolled, and dark clouds surged within the sea of lightning that covered an area that was more than ten thousand kilometers.

Seven exceptionally large thunderballs floated over Yuan Jiuchuan’s head, each of which had a beast spirit roaring within it, as if they were answering his commands.

Yuan Jiuchuan smiled as he manipulated the sea of lightning to pursue the fleeing Qi warriors. “Compared to Nie Tian and those with him, these clowns are much easier to handle.”

Earlier, when he had a pleasant conversation with Zong Zheng by the spatial rift, he had actually been waiting for the return of Nie Tian and the others.

That was because he had learned from Zong Zheng that seven Soul realm Qi warriors had been pursuing Qi Bailu and Hua Mu, and that Nie Tian and the girls had gone to rescue them.

His original plan had been to wait for Nie Tian and the others to return to kill them all at once.

However, by the time Nie Tian had returned on his Star Boat with Mu Biqiong, Yin Yanan, Qi Bailu, and Hua Mu, he had realized that they were the extraordinary youngsters he had met at the Fortune Wells.

Yuan Jiuchuan had witnessed Nie Tian summon the Bone Blood Demon and activate the Floragrims’ Wood Thriving Formation. He had seen Yuan Jiuchuan summon her eighth grade Frost Blood Python, and Mu Biqiong use her coexisting flowers.

All three of them had unearthly powerful assistance at their disposal.

As strong as Yuan Jiuchuan was, he had believed that killing Nie Tian and the girls would be a difficult thing to do.

After all, he had a feeling that those three things combined seemed to have the battle prowess of a Void domain expert.

Not to mention that they also had Qi Bailu, Hua Mu, and Zong Zheng, three late Soul realm experts, with them.

However, what had surprised Yuan Jiuchuan the most was that Star Boat.

The fact that Nie Tian had a Star Boat in his possession meant that he enjoyed an unusually high position in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

No matter how powerful Yuan Jiuchuan was, he had to reconsider his actions if he might anger the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.

After all, it was possible that killing Nie Tian would draw the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s wrath on him, and make them pursue him through the various domains.

Perhaps he wouldn’t care too much about that if he had returned to the middle Saint domain.

However, he was now at an awkward stage where he hadn’t yet returned to his peak cultivation base after his rebirth.

Currently, he had to avoid his enemies from his previous life. If he were to anger the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace at such a time, he would have to spend a lot of energy avoiding and handling his enemies, which would greatly affect his cultivation.

For these reasons, he hadn’t attacked Nie Tian and the others with him.

Wu Xu and this men, however, were nothing but a bunch of rogue cultivators from the Domain of Heaven Python, and they didn’t have formidable help like the Bone Blood Demon, the Frost Blood Python, and the coexisting flowers. Therefore, of course he could do whatever he wanted with them.

WHOOSH!

The sea of lightning traveled at an alarming speed, and caught up to the four fleeing Qi warriors in the blink of an eye.

The four of them already saw Nie Tian in the distance.

With a grim face, Nie Tian summoned his Star Boat again and said to the others in a low voice, “Let’s do our best to avoid that Yuan Jiuchuan. If he actually makes a move against us, then we’ll leave on my Star Boat. I believe it’ll be fast enough to lose him.”

Yin Yanan and Mu Biqiong leapt onto the Star Boat without saying a word.

After a moment of hesitation, Hua Mu, Qi Bailu, and Zong Zheng also flew onto the Star Boat, where they gazed coldly at the incoming four Qi warriors.

“You bastards!” The man who had mocked Nie Tian earlier cursed furiously. “You knew that guy at the spatial rift was a cold-blooded killer, but you didn’t warn us!”

Nie Tian smiled coldy. “Are we friends? Why would we do that?”

Just as the man was about to speak, he looked over his shoulder and saw something that scared him soulless.

Within such a short time, the sea of lightning that was chasing after them had expanded several times over to take up a large part of the unfathomable starry sky.

At the same time, Yuan Jiuchuan seemed to have merged with the sea of lightning, body and soul.

Dark clouds surged within the sea of lightning as lightning bolts that looked like slithering dragons shot out of it, and reached the fleeing Qi warriors as if they had their own awareness.
