Chapter 64

At the moment Nie Tian appeared, Yuan Feng and Yun Song from Huigou also immediately noticed him.

"It's you?"

Yun Song was clearly taken aback, feeling quite surprised. He had thought that Nie Tian, who had been missing for a long time, should have died long ago.

"What happened? Why didn't you go to the volcanic area to meet up with Zheng Bin from Xuanwu Palace? Why did you turn back?" Nie Tian asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, he saw Yuan Feng's face suddenly turn gloomy.

Yun Song gave a bitter smile, "We also wanted to go to the volcanic area, but it's no longer possible. The Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect intercepted us just as we were about to leave the desert. We suffered heavy casualties and could only scatter and flee."

"Now, we just want to go to the location of the teleportation array, wait for the Qinghuan Realm trial to end, and get out of this damned place as soon as possible!"

Nie Tian's expression changed, "Heavy casualties? How many people from the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect were there?"

"Nine, just nine people." Yun Song's eyes were filled with fear, "But the demoness from the Blood Sect broke through to the Houtian realm during the battle! After stepping into the Houtian realm, she used the Blood Sect's secret techniques, and no one could stand against her! Even An Ying, Jiang Lingzhu, and my cousin couldn't deal with her alone."

"A Ghost Sect member named Mo Xi took the opportunity to slaughter us, forcing us to flee in disarray."

"It's over, the Qinghuan Realm trial is completely over! We can only hope that the people outside will soon discover the actions of the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect and enter the Qinghuan Realm as soon as possible."

"Breakthrough during the battle?" Nie Tian was also shocked.

"Enough talk." Yuan Feng from Huigou coldly snorted, suddenly looking at Nie Tian with ill intent, "Hand over the spirit stones you have. We need to quickly restore our spirit energy."

"Right! Hand over your spirit stones quickly, and we can let you off in the Qinghuan Realm!" Yun Song also shouted, trying to intimidate Nie Tian.

Nie Tian was taken aback, subconsciously looking at the cloth bag at his waist. Then, with a strange expression, he said, "At this point, you still want to rob me of my spirit stones? Are you sure about that?"

"Sure!" Yun Song's tone was icy, "If we hadn't encountered the Ghost Sect's disciples in the ice region, do you think we would let you off? Not long ago, when we met up with Lingbao Pavilion and Lingyun Sect, you dared to make things difficult for us. Do you think you can remain unscathed here?"

"Behind us, there might be pursuers from the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect. I don't want to waste any more strength on you." As Yuan Feng spoke, he took a step toward Nie Tian, saying, "After the Qinghuan Realm trial ends, if you manage to survive by some luck, I will kill you outside."

"But now, I plan to temporarily spare your life. Hand over your cloth bag!"

Yuan Feng, who had escaped from the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect, had fled in a panic, consuming a great deal of his spirit energy.

He didn't know if there were still people from the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect pursuing them.

In this situation, he didn't want to waste the little strength he had left on Nie Tian, so he just wanted Nie Tian to hand over his spirit stones.

In his eyes, Nie Tian from the Nie family was of low realm and was just an insignificant minor character.

In the future, as long as he wanted, with his status as a "seed" of Huigou and his own strength, he could kill Nie Tian at any time.

Nie Tian took the cloth bag from his waist and held it in his hand.

"According to what you said, even if I hand over this cloth bag and give you all the spirit stones inside, you will still kill me outside after the Qinghuan Realm trial ends?" He looked at Yuan Feng calmly.

"Right. But you still have some luck, so you can live a bit longer." Yuan Feng didn't hide his thoughts.

Nie Tian grinned, nodded lightly, and threw the cloth bag beside him.

He glanced at the cloth bag and took a step back, indicating for Yuan Feng and Yun Song to come and take it.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Yun Song, without any suspicion, leaped forward and almost instantly arrived in front of Nie Tian, bending down to pick up the cloth bag.

Nie Tian's eyes suddenly burst with intense killing intent!

"Be careful!" Yuan Feng shouted.

Just as Yun Song bent down, Nie Tian's fingertips suddenly shot out beams of light.

"I was prepared for you!"

Yun Song grunted, seeming to have been ready. His bent waist suddenly straightened.

He didn't go for the cloth bag. Instead, he clenched his fist and fiercely smashed it toward the five beams of light.

Clusters of flames floated out from his fist, engulfing the five beams of light Nie Tian had shot.

"Boom, boom!"

The five beams of light clashed with the flames he released and vanished without a trace.

"Spirit energy leaving the body! You actually broke through to the seventh layer of the Qi Refinement realm!" Yun Song, who had broken through Nie Tian's attack, became serious.

The last time, when they fought in front of Lingbao Pavilion, Nie Tian was clearly only at the fourth layer.

How long had it been?

After the battle in Heiyun City, he already knew that Nie Tian had a violent temperament and would never submit obediently.

It was because he thought Nie Tian's realm was insufficient that, even knowing Nie Tian would launch a sudden attack, he wasn't afraid.

But Nie Tian had actually broken through to the seventh layer of the Qi Refinement realm in a short time and could also make his spirit energy leave his body!

If he hadn't been prepared, the five beams of light Nie Tian had shot would have been enough to doom him!

"Yun Song! Come back!"

Just as he was secretly rejoicing at his wisdom, Yuan Feng shouted again. With this shout, Yuan Feng also rushed over, "He is at the eighth layer of the Qi Refinement realm!"

"Too late."

Nie Tian sneered. Just as Yun Song was recovering, his massive mental energy suddenly invaded!

After benefiting from Du Kun, he realized that his abnormally powerful mental energy was a powerful weapon in battle!

He was alone, but Yun Song had Yuan Feng from Huigou beside him. Without relying on some special means, he couldn't quickly resolve the situation. If he faced a two-on-one attack, he might not win.

From the moment Yuan Feng declared that he would try to kill him even if he survived and left the Qinghuan Realm, he had made up his mind.

He had to resolve both Yuan Feng and Yun Song in the Qinghuan Realm to avoid endless trouble in the future!

With the arrival of the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect, any death of a trial participant could be perfectly explained—killed by the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect!

With the excuse already prepared, he had no more concerns and immediately launched a deadly attack.

"Roar!"

Faced with the sudden mental energy assault, Yun Song suddenly screamed shrilly, as if possessed by a demon.

Unable to bear the pain in his head, he clutched his head and wailed.

Taking advantage of this moment, Nie Tian moved like lightning, grabbing his neck and squeezing tightly.

"Crack!"

From Yun Song's neck came the terrifying sound of his cervical vertebrae breaking. His head hung back in an unnatural way.

"You! You dare to kill him! You actually dare to kill him!" Yuan Feng's eyes were bloodshot.

All participants who entered the Qinghuan Realm had to follow the rules set by the four sects—no harming other participants.

Even though Yuan Feng harbored ill will toward Nie Tian, when he asked An Ying for Nie Tian last time, he only wanted to cripple him and didn't dare to have the intention to kill.

He never imagined that Nie Tian, still in the Qinghuan Realm, would dare to harm Yun Song!

Once he left the Qinghuan Realm, as long as he exposed the matter, Nie Tian would surely be executed by the four sects!

"If I don't kill him in the Qinghuan Realm, once he leaves and returns to Heiyun City, I might never have another chance." Nie Tian's face was cold, "In the future, if I see him alive and well in Heiyun City, I will regret it every night. To avoid regretting in the future, I have to let him die in the Qinghuan Realm."

"You will be executed by the four sects!" Yuan Feng shouted fiercely.

"No, I won't." Nie Tian grinned, his smile somewhat cruel, "You are also in my plan. As long as you die, no one will know about this. I will tell the old men of the four sects that you were killed by the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect, and it has nothing to do with me."
