Chapter 77

"Nie Tian! I want you dead!"

As the sky was filled with blood-red lines madly stabbing towards Nie Tian, a frenzied scream suddenly came from a distance, issued by the demoness Yu Tong.

Knowing her position had been exposed, Yu Tong no longer hid, and with a scream, she vented her overwhelming hatred for Nie Tian.

She and Nie Tian were only a few hundred meters apart, and her scream, filled with anger, echoed through the sky.

Those who were not hit by the blood lines felt a sharp pain in their eardrums, as if they had been injured by Yu Tong's scream, and their faces changed slightly, looking at Nie Tian with extremely strange expressions.

"What did this guy do to Yu Tong to make that demoness willing to abandon everyone else just to kill him?" Jiang Lingzhu was stunned.

At this moment, those cultivators of the Xuanwu Palace whose realms had not reached the ninth level of Qi Condensation, who had been affected by the Blood Bind, suddenly all broke free from the restraint.

The blood in Jiang Miao's body also returned to normal.

"Damn! This woman must be crazy!"

Nie Tian cursed in his heart. Seeing countless blood lines intertwining and dispersing, all targeting him, he could only quickly dodge.

The blood lines in the sky, like sharks that had smelled blood, swam through the air, relentlessly pursuing him.

The trial participants of the three sects, watching Nie Tian constantly dodging while the blood lines relentlessly pursued him, were all somewhat dazed.

Soon, Jiang Lingzhu reacted first and said, "What are you all doing? Hurry up and help!"

With these words, all the trial participants rushed towards Nie Tian, trying to help him cut the blood lines.

However, the blood lines in the air were too numerous, and each one was abnormally tough. Even with the help of spirit artifacts, they found it difficult to cut a single blood line.

"What are you doing, Yu Tong?" On the other side, Mo Xi of the Ghost Sect shouted with a dark expression.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong with you? I've never seen you hate someone so much!" A disciple of the Blood Sect stared at Yu Tong, who was casting the spell, with a look of shock, "You can't have been backfired by the Earth Web and accidentally gone mad, can you? Using all the blood rays that construct the Earth Web to target just one person is too irrational, isn't it?"

The other disciples of the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect, seeing Yu Tong's current疯狂的神情, were also at a loss.

They really couldn't understand how an obscure Nie Tian could have offended Yu Tong so much that the usually calm and rational Yu Tong had become so wildly aggressive.

"It's my business! I don't need to explain it to you!" Yu Tong gritted her teeth, her eyes glowing with blood.

As she spoke, she took out two more Blood Enhancement Pills from her storage bracelet and swallowed them, unleashing her power without any restraint.

"You're really crazy!" Mo Xi was shocked.

He knew very well that while the Blood Enhancement Pills could boost the blood qi of Blood Sect disciples in a short time, the burden on the body was too great. Each time a Blood Enhancement Pill was swallowed, it was actually a harm to the body.

To quickly condense the Earth Web, Yu Tong had already swallowed three Blood Enhancement Pills. For her cultivation at the Middle Heaven Realm, three Blood Enhancement Pills were the limit.

Swallowing two more Blood Enhancement Pills, it wouldn't be long before Yu Tong would be severely injured and lose all combat ability.

The Blood Enhancement Pills would boost her blood qi and the potential within her body to an astonishing height in a short time, but the cost... might be a six-month seclusion!

At this point, Mo Xi gradually understood. He knew that Yu Tong, aware of the large number of opponents, not only refused to retreat but also insisted on unleashing the Earth Web at all costs, was not just for the Blood Sect's trial mission.

Her true purpose was to kill the person named Nie Tian!

The trial, the mission, none of it mattered to her anymore; she just wanted Nie Tian dead!

"Nie Tian!" Mo Xi roared in anger, suddenly rushing out from beside Yu Tong, "All of you stay here and keep an eye on Yu Tong!"

"Zhi! Zhi zhi!"

Countless blood-red lines flew through the air like blood-colored meteors, all heading towards Nie Tian.

A terrifying blood qi filled the space around Nie Tian, making him feel like he wanted to vomit with every breath.

At the same time, a bloody magnetic field, similar to the one before, seemed to be gradually forming.

"Blood Bind again?"

Nie Tian's face changed slightly, realizing that the demoness Yu Tong had abandoned using the "Earth Web" to bind the blood of others and was now focusing all her power on him alone.

Yu Tong clearly no longer cared about the lives of others; she just wanted to kill him before leaving the Qing Huan Realm.

"Nie Tian! Be careful! The demoness's Earth Web, because it hasn't fully condensed, can't affect all of us with the Blood Bind. But if she uses the Blood Bind on you alone, she can still do it." Jiang Lingzhu wielded a dark golden fine sword, cutting through the blood lines, trying to get closer to Nie Tian.

But the blood-red lines pursuing Nie Tian were too numerous. Even with the help of An Ying and others, the blood lines they cut were less than one-tenth of the total.

"Whoosh!"

The blood-red lines, which had dispersed, intertwined again, instantly forming a huge blood-red net.

At the points where the blood lines intersected, brilliant blood light suddenly radiated. As the blood-red net fell towards Nie Tian, ancient blood-red characters seemed to float within the grid.

"Blood Bind!"

At this moment, Yu Tong, several hundred meters away, screamed with hatred.

Nie Tian, who was trying to escape the blood-red net, suddenly felt a change in the blood within his body and was instantly frozen in place, unable to move.

The blood-red net took advantage of the situation and descended from the sky, immediately enveloping Nie Tian.

Nie Tian, restrained by the "Blood Bind," could only watch helplessly as the blood-red net enveloped his body, but he could do nothing.

In the next moment, excruciating pain spread from every part of his flesh.

He suddenly realized that the huge blood-red net, while continuously tightening, was also taking the opportunity to pierce his skin and flesh.

The pain was like being pierced by ten thousand arrows, and he could clearly feel that the blood lines piercing his skin had penetrated his blood vessels.

The blood in his body was being drawn out by a powerful suction force, flowing madly into the blood lines.

The numerous blood-red lines, as if transformed into blood-sucking leeches, began to suck the blood from his entire body, and his strong body gradually became emaciated.

—That was the result of massive blood loss.

"Nie Tian!" Pan Tao roared.

An Ying, Jiang Lingzhu, and others rushed over, trying to help him, but were attacked by many blood lines that were still floating around him.

"He has been completely bound by Yu Tong's Earth Web. Yu Tong is using the Blood Sect's Blood Refinement Technique to refine his blood!"

Zheng Bin of the Xuanwu Palace, after breaking several blood lines, suddenly stopped.

He looked at Nie Tian with a pitying gaze and said calmly, "He's doomed. With our realms and cultivation, we can't stop the Blood Refinement Technique from refining him. Instead of wasting energy on him, we should find the source of the spell and quickly kill that demoness so she doesn't harm anyone else."

Without waiting for the others to agree, Zheng Bin instructed the surviving members of the Xuanwu Palace, "Follow me! While she is using the Blood Refinement Technique to refine Nie Tian's blood, we will go and kill that demoness, avenging Nie Tian!"

With that, he abandoned Nie Tian and suddenly rushed out.

The trial participants of the Xuanwu Palace, naturally obeying him, only glanced at Nie Tian with regret before immediately following him.

"Save him! He should be able to survive!" Pan Tao shouted.

Unfortunately, the Xuanwu Palace members, led by Zheng Bin, completely ignored him.

Even An Ying, after giving a deep look at the gradually emaciating Nie Tian, shook her head and said softly, "Zheng Bin is right. Nie Tian... is already beyond saving. We shouldn't waste too much energy on Nie Tian. The demoness Yu Tong is the key to our victory."

With that, she stopped cutting the blood lines and followed the Xuanwu Palace.

As she moved, Zheng Rui of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion also left without a word.

Still by Nie Tian's side, helping him cut the blood-red lines and trying to save his life, were only Jiang Lingzhu, Nie Xian, Jiang Miao, and the furious Pan Tao.
