Chapter 1405: A Heavy Blow (2/2)

“Seriously, you really look like him,” The female Devil muttered as her peculiar air-transportation spiritual tool traveled through the dim starry river at a speed who knew how many times faster than any human or outsider starship. “Eventually, he let me go for some reason.

“And he left and continued to build up his name in that region between the two worlds. Many years after that, we met a few times, but every time, we were on opposing sides. We even had to fight each other sometime. However, he always held back...

“Then one day, a woman appeared by his side, a woman of his kind. Only when I saw him with that woman did I realize that I was already...”

With these words, the female Devil gave a sad smile. “Well, how laughable is that? He’s the leader of an alien kind for god’s sake. All hybrids who don’t have their place in the three worlds view him as their wise leader.

“Also, his hands are covered with the blood of my people, the Netherspirits, and the Bonedrudes. Countless have died at his hands.

“Many of us don’t know the names of any powerful experts from the Spirit World or the Mortal World, yet his name long resounds in the ears of the experts in our world.

“After all, he’s the heavy wall that stands between our world and the Mortal World. For ages, we’ve made many attempts to go through that region that separates the two worlds, but all of our attempts have been frustrated by him.

“Shouldn’t I hate him? Why... Why do I think about him day and night, and do everything I can to learn how he’s doing?”

The female Devil cast her gaze down, her face filled with sadness and frustration.

The devastating battle prowess and overwhelming capturing skills she had displayed earlier were completely gone.

She shook her head and continued, “How funny is this? I’m telling you all this just because you’re part-human and you look like him… Perhaps all humans look similar to us. But again, your eyes, nose, and...”

Nie Tian didn’t know what to think.

Lying on his back on the floor of the air-transportation spiritual tool, he looked into the dim void. Not a single star was in sight.

“Who is it?” The female Devil suddenly called out and looked vigilantly around, as if she sensed danger.

“Stop!” Mo Heng’s resounding voice rumbled through the void as waves of raging spiritual power madly converged on the air-transportation spiritual tool from all directions.

The Devils’ unique air-transportation spiritual tool, which was originally traveling at an astounding speed, suddenly slowed down like a lassoed wild horse.

WHOOSH!

Mo Heng’s dharma idol suddenly flew over and stopped in front of the air-transportation spiritual tool.

“It’s you?!” The female Devil said with a frown upon seeing Mo Heng, as if she knew him. “Shouldn’t you be guarding that portal? The Netherspirits put together armies of evil spirits and formed all sorts of soul formations just to breach your defense. How come you have time to come here?”

Without any pleasantries, Mo Heng said with a stern expression, “Agatha, give your captive to me, and I’ll let you go. Otherwise, don’t blame me for using force.”

“You came for this one?” The female Devil who Mo Heng referred to as Agatha said as she looked down at Nie Tian. “It was ‘him’ who persuaded you to come all the way from the Mortal World to guard that portal. I’m starting to understand your relationship with him. This hybrid kid looks a lot like him. Don’t tell me that...”

Agatha’s gorgeous eyes gradually lit up.

“Is this his child?” Agatha asked.

After a moment of hesitation, Mo Heng nodded and said, “Yes.”

Agatha, the female Devil, had a complicated expression as she said, “My instincts are as accurate as always. So this is their child, who came from the Mortal World...”

Her voice grew lower and lower.

The badge she had placed on Nie Tian’s chest suddenly shone with purple light, and increased its pressure on Nie Tian’s chest bones so much that bone-cracking sounds echoed out.

Agatha looked expressionless.

However, several of Nie Tian’s ribs were already broken. Wisps of purple lightning that were many times fiercer than before flew out of the badge and pierced into his heart like sharp blades.

Nie Tian’s face distorted as he almost fainted from the excruciating pain.

Even so, he couldn’t make a single sound. He could only watch the female Devil before him looking down at him with a calm but scary look in her eyes.

“Agatha!” Mo Heng flew into a rage. “You’ve only lived to this day because he held back every time he faced you on the battlefield! Don’t you forget his kindness and try to kill this young man who you know is his child!”

“He needs to die,” Agatha said with a profound, icy look in her eyes. “If this child of his inherits his power, he’ll surely grow into a formidable foe of my people, and even the entire Void World. For my people and my world, I have to kill him. This is not personal.”

BOOM!

Blood spurted from Nie Tian’s chest under the badge’s crushing pressure.
