Chapter 907: The Determination to Kill (1/2)

WHOOSH!

The Voidspirit Pagoda flew skywards into the watery curtain over the Realm of Maelstrom.

The unstable spatial rift that led to the Shatter Battlefield suddenly burst forth with blinding light, and then exploded violently.

With a relaxed smile, Zhao Shanling said, “Alright, from now on, no one will be able to enter the Domain of Heaven Python from the Shatter Battlefield.”

He actually destroyed that spatial rift.

Duan Shihu smiled bitterly. “But with that spatial rift gone, the people in the Domain of Heaven Python won’t be able to enter the Shatter Battlefield so easily either.”

Zhao Shanling raised his hand to make a grabbing motion in the air, and the Voidspirit Pagoda flew down into his palm and vanished. “Keeping that spatial rift is not necessarily a good thing for the Domain of Heaven Python. I can travel through it with the help of my spatial tool. Others might be able to do the same.”

Duan Shihu let out a sigh and fell silent.

“What happened in the Shatter Battlefield, Senior Zhao? And who injured you so badly?” Nie Tian asked.

Zhao Shanling frowned. “It’s a long story.”

He didn’t seem to want to explain it. Instead, he asked Nie Tian, “What happened in the Domain of Heaven Python? How come the Realm of Maelstrom is so desolate now? I didn’t sense a single expert.”

“The outsiders have invaded...” Nie Tian went on and explained the situation to him.

Killing intent burst from Zhao Shanling’s eyes. “Xing Lifeng?! Is he still alive?! And he attacked the Thousandsword Mountain Sect with the Bonebrutes’ help?”

Duan Shihu chimed in. “Not only is he still alive, but he has broken through into the late Void domain.”

Zhao Shanling took a deep breath. “The late Void domain...”

Then, he let out a cold harrumph and continued, “So what? As long as he hasn’t entered the Saint domain, I’ll have a chance at killing him!”

Nie Tian was dumbfounded. “You...?”

“The main reason for me to go to the Shatter Battlefield was to hunt down and kill members of the Xing Clan,” Zhao Shanling said with a cold and determined tone. “That brat Xing Bo has died at your hands, so be it. But who would have thought that bastard Xing Lifeng was still alive? I didn’t track him down in the Shatter Battlefield, but I won’t stop until I kill him with my own hands!”

Nie Tian knew that the fact that the Xing Clan had colluded with the Bonebrutes and killed Zhen Huilan had been weighing on Zhao Shanling’s mind.

Zhao Shanling seemed to be a madman with no scruples or affection for anything. He didn’t even give face to his own brother, Zhao Luofeng. However, Nie Tian was well-aware that he wasn’t a man with no feelings.

He had witnessed his grief and rage when his master’s gravestone had been destroyed.

For this, he had even single-handedly attacked the Lei Clan, who had occupied the Tool Sect.

His master, Xu Yinglong, and his junior martial sister, Zhen Huilan, might be the ones who he had the strongest feelings towards in this whole world.

Therefore, he had left the Void Illusion Mountain Range without the slightest hesitation the moment he had learned that Zhen Huilan had died because of the Xing Clan, and stormed into the Domain of Heaven Python, following the path she had taken.

Later, he had learned that Xing Bo and Xing Lifeng from the Xing Clan had escaped with the Bonebrutes’ help, and that they might go to the Shatter Battlefield. Thus, he had entered the Shatter Battlefield.

Like Pei Qiqi, all he had wanted was to avenge Zhen Huilan.

As his train of thought came to this point, a shudder ran through Nie Tian, and he suddenly realized the reason why Pei Qiqi had stayed in the Domain of Heaven Python for so long. “It must be Xing Lifeng!”

Pei Qiqi must have also known about Xing Lifeng’s return to the Domain of Heaven Python. The reason why she had been traveling among different realms of the Domain of Heaven Python to gather power from the spatial rifts and teleportation portals was probably because she was still holding onto the idea of killing Xing Lifeng.

Nie Tian’s head sagged slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed. “The late Void domain… Senior Zhen had been nothing but kind to me. I also thought about killing Xing Lifeng. However, as soon as I learned his current cultivation base, and that he had ninth grade Bonebrute grand patriarchs with him, I decided to give the matter further thought and chose to perhaps seek him out again when I’m strong enough...”

Zhao Shanling gave him a sideways look and said with a consoling tone, “I’m glad that you thought about it, and you already did a good job by killing Xing Bo. As for Xing Lifeng, don’t beat yourself up. Considering your current cultivation base, you indeed won’t stand a chance fighting him.”
