The moment Sikong Hongyueâs heavy sword was about to land on Duan Jianâs body, his eyes burst out with a chilling light.
After so many years, how much humiliation has he suffered and endured for, waiting for this moment of revenge. How can his mind be messed with by Sikong Hongyue? Although his cultivation is stronger than Sikong Hongyueâs, getting rid of her would probably require a drawn out battle.
Furthermore, this is the territory of the Silver Winged Family! Once the Silver Winged Familyâs reinforcements arrives, theyâll be in trouble!
He has to settle this fast!
Therefore, Duan Jian purposely showed a flaw to Sikong Hongyue. Just when her huge sword was about to plunge into him, Duan Jian suddenly extended his left hand and grabbed onto the blade of the huge sword and then swung his sword towards Sikong Hongyueâs neck.
Sikong Hongyueâs pupils shrank. She never thought that Duan Jian wouldnât suffer any damage from her attack and would even launch a fierce counterattack. In the nick of time, she abandoned her sword and bent her back backwards, avoiding Duan Jianâs attack. Duan Jian suddenly threw his leg out and kicked Sikong Hongyueâs abdomen, sending her flying and heavily hit a huge tree and with enough force, a boom was heard.
A trace of blood oozed out from the corner of her mouth. That kick inflicted heavy damage to her. If it wasnât for the protection of her silver armour, that kick alone wouldâve been more than enough to cripple her.
Nie Li watched the entire battle. Although Duan Jianâs combat skills werenât very refined, heâs familiar with his own strength. He used his powerful physical body to deal Sikong Hongyue a heavy blow, ending the battle quickly.
âSikong Hongyue, die!â Duan Jian coldly growled, raising the sharp sword in his hand, charging towards Sikong Hongyue.
Facing this foe, he did not have the slightest hesitation in his actions, wanting to kill Sikong Hongyue straightaway.
The moment when Duan Jian leaped, Nie Li suddenly felt three auras heading towards Duan Jian. A ray of chilling light flashed across his eyes, itâs the auras of three Black Gold rank experts!
âWoosh!â The Scarlet Flame flying knife flew out of Nie Liâs hands, and shot towards one of the shadows. With Nie Liâs current strength, he can only control one of the flying knives at the moment and the Scarlet Flame is the one that he has best control over.
Bang! Bang!
Two violent energies bombarded Duan Jianâs body, sending him flying and forcing him to stagger dozens of steps back before he was able to hold his position. Due to this powerful physical body, not even Black Gold rank experts could kill Duan Jian straightaway.
At almost the same time, a miserable shriek came from the shadows. A figure flew out and was suddenly nailed onto the trunk of a big tree.
It was one of the Black Gold rank experts.
When that Black Gold rank expert was heading towards Duan Jian, he was silently hit on the chest by Nie Liâs Scarlet Flame flying knife, and was nailed dead on the trunk of a tree. With Nie Liâs current strength, heâs still not the opponent of a Black Gold rank expert; however, by using the Scarlet Flame against an unprepared opponent, even if itâs a Black Gold rank expert, taking on an attack would mean death.
With a manipulation of his soul force, the Scarlet Flame flying knife flew back to Nie Liâs hand.
Turning back and seeing this scene, deep fear arose from the eyes of the two Black Gold rank experts as they looked at Nie Li, who is currently standing on a tree branch with the flying knife already in his hand. They immediately barked, âRetreat!â
The two Black Gold rank experts held onto Sikong Hongyue and leaped towards a different part of the forest.
Duan Jian held onto his chest and was about to chase after them; however, Nie Liâs calm voice came, âCome back, thereâs no need to chase them any further, we wonât be able to catch up to them. We have to leave immediately. If that old rogue, Sikong Yi, comes over here, we wonât be able to escape anymore!â
Finishing his speech, Nie Li leaped.
He actually allowed that woman, Sikong Hongyue, to escape?! Duan Jian breathed out a resentful breath, then followed Nie Li.
Regarding the Silver Winged Familyâs matters, Nie Li wasnât prepared to intervene too much. Therefore, he let Duan Jian to make the decision. Duan Jian carried the blood feud within him, if he doesnât take them on personally, there might be a shadow left in his heart which will be unfavourable to his future cultivation.
After everything he experienced in his previous life, Nie Li understood that there are some matters that has to be done personally. It cannot be done by the hands of others.
Today, the Silver Winged Family suffered quite miserably. He estimates that they wonât be able to recover from this blow in a short amount of time. Furthermore, Nie Liâs flying knife killed a Black Gold rank expert of the Silver Winged Family, so they probably wonât send any small fries after them.
Nie Li and Duan Jian met up with Xiao Ningâer, Du Ze and the rest, used the formulated cloud paste to change their appearances a little and quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Sikong Yi was searching the wilderness for several hours, but wasnât able to find Nie Li and the rest and could only helplessly return. Upon returning, he was made aware that during the time he spent searching for any traces of Nie Li and his friends, they had actually remained in the Silver Winged Familyâs territory and caused even more of a ruckus, even killed a Black Gold rank expert. This caused Sikong Yi to fume with anger.
Seeing the corpse of the Black Gold rank expert, Sikong Yi angrily punched a nearby tree, shattering it.
âLei Zhuo, this debt will be repaid! One day, I will find you and tear you apart!â roared Sikong Yi, furiously.
âLord Father, aside from Lei Zhuo, thereâs still Duan Jian. Duan Jian now has a physical body that isnât any weaker than a Black Gold rankâs. Even I wasnât his opponent.â Sikong Hongyue held onto her chest and said, voice lingering with fear. If it wasnât for the elders of the family extending their hands out to save her, sheâd probably already be dead by Duan Jianâs hands.
âDuan Jian!â Sikong Yiâs rage shot to the limit. If he knew of this earlier, he would have killed Duan Jian long ago. Now that Duan Jian has become a thorn in his side, he became unease.
Nie Li and rest remained in the mountain for dozens of days, spectating the situation of the various families of the Abyss Prison realm. It was just as Nie Li expected, several families launched an attack against the Silver Winged Family, which was why the Silver Winged Family did not dispatch anyone to chase after them.
Time to leave.
After leaving Glory City for so long, itâs about time they returned.
However, Nie Li gathered a lot of information while he was in this Abyss Prison realm. Nie Li suddenly thought of something. In his previous life, when the Dark Guild initiated the Demon Beast horde to destroy Glory City, that kind of attack was something that consumed a lot of effort and doesnât do anyone much good. The Dark Guild has been hiding in the St. Ancestral Mountain range, isolated from everyone else. Their living conditions are definitely much worse compared to Glory City. Until later, when Lord Ye Mo opened the ancient array. The Dark Guild couldnât wait anymore and launched an offensive strike, and plotted with the Sacred Family to kill Lord Ye Mo.
ly, Nie Li couldnât figure out what the Dark Guild would obtain by destroying Glory City. Werenât they worried about being destroyed by the demon beasts as well? But now, he suddenly understood. After Glory City was destroyed in his previous life, thereâs a high possibility that the Dark Guild entered into the Abyss Prison realm. After all, the people in the Abyss Prison realm can attack and defend, they can still make use of the strength of the people living here.
But when the demon beast horde arrived, why didnât Lord Ye Mo let the people retreat into the Abyss Prison realm? This was a mystery. Perhaps, in Lord Ye Moâs view, the demon beast horde wasnât too frightening and he probably never thought that he would be plotted against by the Sacred Family.
In the wilderness, Nie Li and his friends arrived at the ancient array. They then moved towards the direction of the teleportation array.
Suddenly, a figure attracted Nie Liâs attention. A wave of dangerous aura blew over him.
âInfinity has no beginning, no beginning can have no end.â an old man mumbled. His clothes were tattered, and he was staggering as he walked in the wilderness.
âWhat is this old man saying? Why canât I understand what is he talking about?â Lu Piao asked, curiously.
âI donât know either.â Nie Li shook his head, his palms were drenched in a cold sweat. His intuition sensed danger. This old man actually appeared again. The other party is obviously one of Emperor Kong Mingâs successors. If the opposing side knew his identity, heâd be in danger.
However, what Nie Li doesnât understand is that, if the opposing side is one of Emperor Kong Mingâs successors, why is he revealing his identity so easily? Isnât he afraid of being chased after by the other successors?
Could it beâŚâŚ?
This old man intends to kill their group directly?
The old man walked passed Nie Li and his group, crazily laughing. His voice sounded tearful, âInfinity has no beginning, no beginning can have no end. Ridiculous, ridiculous!â
The old manâs mudded eyes swept over Nie Liâs body, causing Nie Li to be drenched in a cold sweat. Could it be that this old man realised something?
Just when Nie Li was secretly alert and prepared to fight, the old man suddenly went crazy, laughing and crying as he soullessly walked further and further away.
After watching the old man disappear into the darkness, Nie Li sighed a breath of relief. That old man couldnât have gone mad, right? Nie Li could feel the old manâs spiritual energy wasnât normal. However, what is the meaning of this old man appearing two times before him and repeating the same sentences?
As long as he doesnât tell anyone that he understood the profound meaning of âInfinity has no beginning, no beginning can have no end.â, he should be safe for the time being. Even so, Nie Li has to raise his strength as fast as possible. Otherwise, if he were to encounter the other four successors, heâll only have death awaiting him.
Along the way, Nie Li got Du Ze and Lu Piao to capture a lot of Scarlet Ghosts, made a lot of Blood Burst Demonic Bottles and stored them into his interspatial ring. Who knows when these Blood Burst Demonic Bottles will be needed.
Teleportation array.
Nie Li placed the Stones of Light into one of the stone pillars, one by one. The stone pillars lit up, and a surge of spatial energy was constantly twisting the surrounding space.
âWe can finally return, I donât feel comfortable here!â said Lu Piao, stretching his body a little. He then took the first step into the teleportation array.
The rest also entered the teleportation array respectively.
Nie Li, Xiao Ningâer and Duan Jian were the only ones left. Duan Jian looked at the dark sky with a complicated look on his face. In this Abyss Prison realm, he has spent his happy childhood here, and his most bitter memories of his foe, which he still canât kill with his current strength.
The kind Xiao Ningâer also felt the grief in Duan Jianâs heart and sadly sighed.
âDuan Jian, if you want to stay, we wonât stop you from doing so. After all, this is your homeland.â Nie Li said, looking at Duan Jian.
Duan Jian firmly shook his head and said, âFrom the moment my parents died, my homeland was already gone. I only have the blood feud left. Master gave me a new life, gave me the hope for vengeance. Iâm willing to follow master!â
After speaking, Duan Jian stepped into the teleportation array.
Nie Li sighed, blood feud. In his previous life, hasnât Nie Li, too, been burdened with a blood feud as he roamed around? He understands Duan Jianâs current feelings and said to Xiao Ningâer âNingâer, we should get going as well.â
