Lord of All Realms - Chapter 665

Chapter 665: 665

POOH!

The Flame Star exploded with blinding blood-colored light as it slashed the small-built young woman in half .

Afterwards, Nie Tian jerked his head around and gave Ji Long  a cold smile .

At this moment, Ji Long had become the only surviving junior .

He had gone rampant under the effect of the Blood Decay Pill . In Nie Tian’s eyes, he was now nothing but a witless beast .

Furthermore, Nie Tian also noticed that the strong efficacy of the Blood Decay Pill was taking a toll on Ji Long’s body . Many of his internal organs and meridians had already burst .

Instead of engaging in close-up battle with him right away, Nie Tian flashed about to avoid him, forcing him to chase after him, gasping for breath .

Shortly afterwards, he smiled as he noticed that Ji Long’s flesh aura had grown increasingly weak .

After dancing around him for about ten minutes, Nie Tian noticed that Ji Long seemed to have lost most of his flesh power, since he started to drag his steps .

Only then did Nie Tian flash behind him and smash the back of his head with his palm .

CRACK!

Ji Long’s skull shattered from the explosive force .

He finally crashed to the ground, bereft of any aura of life .

Nie Tian sighed . “Poor guy . . . ”

He knew that, even if he didn’t kill them, Ji Long and the other juniors would eventually die from the side-effect of the Thousand Refinement Pills and Blood Decay Pills they had taken .

He had only accelerated the process but didn’t change the results .

These juniors only existed for the purpose of finding Master Voidspirit’s legacies . Their destinies had long since been determined, perhaps with Ji Long being the only exception .

However, even Ji Long had been abandoned when Han Chigui had felt that his life was in danger .

Now, with Ji Long dead, there wasn’t a single soul near the Voidspirit Pagoda .

Glancing around at Ji Long and the other juniors’ cold bodies, Nie Tian hesitated briefly before deciding not to drain their remaining flesh power with Life Drain .

He had something better .

He took a seventh grade outsider corpse from within his ring of holding and started absorbing its flesh power with Life Drain .

The flesh power he had consumed fighting Ji Long was rapidly replenished .

Shortly afterwards, he sensed Zhao Shanling’s aura approaching him .

He quickly returned the outsider corpse to his ring of holding and sat up straight from the lotus position .

Zhao Shanling returned alone . He gathered the rings of holding of the four Bliss Mountain Sect elders and walked to Nie Tian . “Those four were all at the Soul realm . If they were in the Domain of the Falling Stars, the four of them alone could have formed a sect that was even more powerful than the Heaven Palace Sect .

“It’s pity that they all lost their lives trying to get Master Voidspirit’s legacies . ”

“If there are Void domain experts in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, they must have many more Soul realm experts than us,” Nie Tian said . “Each sect probably has multiple Soul realm experts, similar to the Profound realm experts in the sects from the Domain of the Falling Stars . ”

Zhao Shanling nodded . “Good point . How are you doing?”

Nie Tian had just absorbed some flesh power with Life Drain but hadn’t had the chance to use it to heal his wounds .

From Zhao Shanling’s point of view, Nie Tian was covered in deep cuts, and in a very worrying condition .

However, Nie Tian knew that the injuries he had sustained were only flesh wounds, nothing serious .

Once he was given the time to circulate the flesh power he had recently absorbed with Heavenly Wood Heal, the open wounds would soon heal without leaving the slightest scar .

“I’m alright,” Nie Tian answered casually . “They are merely some shallow cuts . ”

“Shallow cuts . . . ” Zhao Shanling fell silent . After a moment of pondering, he asked with a serious expression, “Do you think you can take that Liang Hao person?”

“I think so, yeah,” Nie Tian answered with confidence .

Zhao Shanling’s eyes lit up as he chuckled and said, “If that’s the case, don’t address your wounds now . Qi Jiuchuan and Liang Hao will probably catch and kill Han Chigui from the Bliss Mountain Sect . I want them to see you covered in wounds when they return . ”

Nie Tian was taken aback . “Why?” 

Rubbing his chin, Zhao Shanling said with a meaningful look in his eyes, “I just want to know what Qi Jiuchuan will do after seeing you in such sore straits . ”

Surprised, Nie Tian asked, “Are you saying that Qi Jiuchuan will want to kill us after seeing me badly injured? In fact, I overheard part of the conversation between you two . He seemed to be very interested in making friends with you after learning that you’re from a ‘superior’ domain . You don’t think he was faking all that, do you?”

Zhao Shanling let out a cold harrumph . “You’re still too green, kid . I can’t believe you actually believed him . He might play up to us and refrain from plotting against us if you continue to display unmatched strength and battle prowess . However, once you show weakness, I doubt that he’ll continue to do so . ”

Nie Tian pondered briefly and saw the senses in his words . “So you’re luring him to make a move on us?”

“That’s right . Since I can’t trust him, we’ll have to deal with him . ” Zhao Shanling didn’t try to hide his intentions . “I’m confident that I’ll be able to open that silver gate on my own . If we can obtain Master Voidspirit’s legacies by relying on ourselves, then why should we share them with others?”

“Alright . ” Nie Tian agreed with his plan .

Not only did he postpone healing his wounds with the flesh power he had recently absorbed, but he even thought of a better idea: he activated his Life Stealth bloodline talent .

Life Stealth would allow him to mask his flesh aura however he wanted .

With this wondrous bloodline talent, he lowered the intensity of his flesh aura to the point that it was no different from that of a commoner, and that was when he stopped .

Zhao Shanling examined him and noticed that his vigorous flesh aura had gradually weakened .

The weakening of Nie Tian’s flesh aura was also reflected on his face . His cheeks were no longer radiant, and his eyes became lifeless, which completely changed the feeling he gave people .

Just by looking into his eyes, one could tell that he wasn’t in good shape .

His numerous bloody wounds made it even more evident that was in bad condition .

Zhao Shanling’s eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “Marvelous! You’re indeed a unique kid . I can’t believe you actually can lower the intensity of your flesh aura! Even I can’t see through your disguise . Qiuchuan will definitely fall for this! Let’s see if he’ll try to kill us after seeing you in such sore straits . ”

With these words, the two of them sat in a location not far from the Voidspirit Pagoda, where they waited for Qi Jiuchuan and Liang Hao to return .

An hour later, Qi Jiuchuan returned with Liang Hao, panting heavily as he did .

After coming to a stop in front of Zhao Shanling and Nie Tian, he laughed wildly and said, “Liang Hao killed Han Chigui and proved his worth, Brother Zhao! Here . This is his ring of holding . ”

Zhao Shanling let out a sigh of relief and said, “Fortunately, we teamed up . If it weren’t for you, the two of us couldn’t have taken out those people from the Bliss Mountain Sect by ourselves . If Han Chigui escaped and waited for us at the entrance, even if we were able to get Master Voidspirit’s legacies, we wouldn’t have been able to leave with them . ”

“Hahaha, exactly,” Qi Jiuchuan chimed in . “People shouldn’t refuse to take others’ good advice . After we also learned about Master Voidspirit’s legacies, we reached out to the Bliss Mountain Sect several times, hoping to discuss the possibility of working together with them .

“However, those from the Bliss Mountain Sect insisted on taking them as their own . Now, you’ve seen the result of their poor judgment . ”

Zhao Shanling nodded as if he fully agreed . “Exactly, both parties will benefit from cooperation . We wouldn’t have been able to defeat those from the Bliss Mountain Sect if we didn’t team up . ”

Qi Jiuchuan smiled as he jerked his head towards Nie Tian and said, “This little friend of yours doesn’t look well . ”

“He killed five people by himself,” Zhao Shanling said with a shrug . “How could he have done it without paying some price? I’m afraid he’ll need quite a bit of time to recover . But it won’t be a big deal since we’ve already taken care of all the people from the Bliss Mountain Sect . We can take our time to figure out a way to enter the Voidspirit Pagoda safely . ”

Qi Jiuchuan’s eyes flickered slightly . Eyebrows furrowed, he pondered a few seconds before asking, “Do you really not know how to enter that silver gate, Brother Zhao?”

Zhao Shanling shook his head . “I’m afraid not . ”

“No? . . . ” Qi Jiuchuan sighed, a frustrated look filling his face . “If that’s the case, my hands are tied . ”

“What do you mean?” Zhao Shanling asked, looking confused .

Qi Jiuchuan backed away slowly to Liang Hao’s side, whose pupils were still blood-red . With an apologetic tone, he said, “Liang Hao still has his battle prowess now, but it won’t be long before he suffers a fatal backlash from the Mountainsplit Beast’s heart .

“However, even though your little friend has sustained serious injuries, he’ll probably be able to recover fully .

“I don’t know whether you’ll take care of us if it comes down to that .

“So I might as well strike out first before that happens . ”
