Nie Tian harboured confusion, as he unhurriedly arrived in front of Du Kun’s body, wanting to know exactly what had happened to him.
Du Kun, who had fallen to the ground, made no large movements, but still twitched. Wisps of fresh blood had actually come from the corner of his eyes.
“You lost your battling spirit just like that?”
Nie Tian muttered to himself and kneeled down. He hooked Du Kun’s neck in one hand and forcefully pinched it.
- Kacha! -
The sound of Du Kun’s cervical vertebra shattering into small pieces resounded from his neck. His head dangled and he immediately died in a tragic manner.
“The Ghost Sect seems to be very good at the secret techniques relating to the mind. I wonder whether he has those sorts of spirit arts on him.”
Nie Tian’s eyes shone, as he started to search Du Kun’s whole body, attempting to obtain any secret techniques pertaining to the cultivation of mental strength from him.
According to Du Kun’s statement, Nie Tian knew that his own mental strength had far surpassed any opponent, who was at the same cultivation level as he was.
It was in that previous moment, when he had slightly tried out that tremendous mental strength of his, that he had defeated Du Kun in a flash. This made him come to the realisation of the wonders of his mental strength.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that he had always been cultivating in the Nie Family and had never come in contact with information regarding mental strength, he drew a blank when it came to knowledge relating to mental strength.
If he could clearly understand the subtleties of the mental strength through Du Kun, who was already dead, Nie Tian believed that his combat strength would increase substantially.
“There aren’t any ancient records on him.”
Nie Tian had left no stone unturned as he searched Du Kun’s whole body, but he was still unable to find any spirit arts related to the cultivation of mental energy. As such, he felt greatly disappointed in his heart.
He had only found about ten spirit stones in the cloth pouch on Du Kun’s waist, as well as a Ghost Sect Identity Token within.
After he had taken away the Low Grade spirit stones and the token that represented a Ghost Sect disciple’s identity, Nie Tian squinted his eyes, looked in the direction that Du Kun wanted to escape in, and pondered deeply for a moment.
He came to the very clear realisation that the Ghost Sect and Blood Sect disciples, with Mo Xi and Yu Tong as their respective leaders, were currently pursuing An Ying and the others at full speed.
He didn’t know whether An Ying and the others could meet up with Zheng Bin, who was in the volcanic region, before Mo Xi and Yu Tong had caught up to them.
“I killed this fellow and removed a person from the Ghost Sect. This also counts as helping them. After I left, there were still nineteen people on their end, so they should be evenly matched with the Ghost Sect and Blood Sect, but just barely so.”
“Once they come across the Black Mist Palace’s Zheng Bin, the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect’s operation in the Green Illusion Realm should have then completely failed.”
“I came to the Green Illusion Realm just to challenge myself. The spirit beast meat… has to be digested as quickly as possible, so that it won’t be considered as being wasted.”
“The only thing that I can do is to remain here and hope that after the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect realise that one of them has died, that they’ll continue to assign people to come and kill me.”
Once he thought to this point, he sat down beside Du Kun’s corpse and closed his eyes as he cultivated.
……
The depths of the barren land.
The Blood Sect’s Yu Tong took out the Blood Searching Compass again to search for the position where An Ying and the others were at.
“We’re very close!”
Mo Xi lowered his head and maliciously grinned as he looked at the compass, which represented the location of An Ying and the others. “We’ll be able to catch up to them in one more day. We’ll be able to intercept and kill them before they escape from the barren land!”
He then looked at the compass again, and when he saw that there was a lone blob of blood-coloured light, Mo Xi said, “There is still one blob of light. Du Kun should’ve succeeded already.”
“Something is not right.” Yu Tong frowned and lightly shook her head. “I noticed that this blob of light has no signs of movement from the start. If Du Kun really succeeded, he definitely wouldn’t stay there.”
Once her words had been spoken, not only Mo Xi, but a few other Blood Sect and Ghost Sect disciples also became shocked.
“What? Are you saying… that the person who died is Du Kun?” Mo Xi had a dark expression on his face.
“I also do not dare to believe that Du Kun would fail, but the facts are laid out in front of me.” Yu Tong said indifferently.
Mo Xi was silent for a moment, then he suddenly commanded, “Song Heng! Head over and take a look!”
“Don’t.” Yu Tong calmly stopped him. “Since the person who has died is Du Kun, letting Song Heng go alone would also not necessarily be safe. However, if we arrange for even more people to head over, then there won’t be sufficient people on our end. Even if we catch up to the fellows of the Ling Bao Court and Lingyun Sect, I don’t dare to guarantee that we’ll definitely be victorious.”
“He killed Du Kun! He must die!” Mo Xi shouted out.
