After he saw Liu Yan killed by Nie Li, Deacon Yun Hua merged with his Black Star Tiger Demon Spirit. He let out a furious snort and threw a kick towards Nie Li.
Boom!
The kick landed on Nie Liâs abdomen and causing Nie Li to fly several meters, heavily smashing into a tree and slowly fell down.
Deacon Yun Hua lowered his head, and looked at the corpse of Liu Yan that was in a pool of blood. He blew in a towering rage. He felt that his opponentâs strength was not that strong, however his opponent was able to kill two of his underlings. How can he not be angry?
âDamn!â grunted Deacon Yun Hua, kicking Liu Yanâs corpse. Liu Yan was completely dead. The back of the head is the most fatal location. After being stabbed there, there is basically no chance of surviving.
Nie Li slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, showing a grim smile. After getting rid of two, Deacon Yun Hua is the only one left.
âWhat the heck is this? Die!â Deacon Yun Hua angrily snorted. After merging with the Black Star Tiger, his body became larger. The few meters tall Deacon Yun Hua pounced towards Nie Li, who had already merged with the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit, with his claws outstretched.
The Shadow Devil Demon Spirit is an assassin type of demon spirit, specializing in assassination. Therefore, the base strength of the body is weaker. It needs to be slowly enhanced bit by bit. However, Deacon Yun Huaâs Black Star Tiger is a strength type demon spirit. Hence, its combat abilities are extremely strong, with lots of support Inscription Patterns around the body.
As soon as Deacon Yun Huaâs huge palm was about to land on Nie Li, Nie Liâs figure disappeared.
Boom!
Deacon Yun Huaâs huge palm slammed into the tree beside him, breaking it apart.
âWhatâs going on?â Deacon Yun Huaâs eyes contracted. He never thought that heâd encounter such a strange ability, and wondered what exactly is this damned thing.
The Shadow Devil Demon Spirit is a type of extremely mysterious and rare demon spirit. Itâs ability is also very special, therefore, itâs normal that Deacon Yun Hua has never seen it before.
Deacon Yun Hua was suddenly struck with fear. Although he did not clearly see his opponent, he is certain that his opponent is definitely a human that merged with a demon spirit. However, he doesnât know what kind of demon spirit his opponent merged with. A murderous intent flashed across his eyes. He manipulated the Black Star Tiger and skimmed the surrounding area, searching for Nie Liâs location.
âThat black shadow from earlier is definitely a rare assassin type demon spirit!â Deacon Yun Hua thought to himself. After Nie Li kept on disappearing and reappearing unpredictably, a deep impression was left on him.
Deacon Yun Hua began searching the forest for Nie Li. Nie Li is currently hiding behind a tree, holding his breath and not daring to move. After all, no matter his personal cultivation or the strength of Shadow Devil Demon Spirit, had just stepped into Silver rank. If he fights head on, he wonât be able to defeat a 5-star Silver rank Demon Spiritualist like Deacon Yun Hua.
Deacon Yun Huaâs aura is approaching closer and closer. He will soon find Nie Liâs hiding place.
Whoosh!
Under Nie Liâs manipulation, the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit suddenly appeared. Itâs sharp front claws slashed towards Deacon Yun Huaâs neck.
Feeling a chill blowing towards him, Deacon Yun Hua didnât dare to be rash. He jumped backwards, dodging Nie Liâs attack, then turned around, and charged towards Nie Li.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sharp claws of the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit gazed pass Deacon Yun Huaâs head several times, scaring Deacon Yun Hua into a cold sweat. This kind of damned thing is too frightening for him. The front limb can change long and short, its movement is shockingly fast. The slightest mistake could get himself killed in one attack.
Deacon Yun Hua jumped backwards tens of meters, only then did he manage to dodge the Shadow Devil Demon Spiritâs attacks. He slightly sighed in relief. Just when he was preparing to launch his attacks, the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit in front of him once again blurred and then disappeared.
Deacon Yun Hua couldnât help cursing. Nie Li merged with the Shadow Devil Demon spirit is too hard to deal with since he quickly disappeared, nowhere to be found.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deacon Yun Hua kept throwing attacks towards the spot where the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit disappeared, causing stones on the ground to be flying everywhere. However, Nie Li did not appear.
âThis damn thing is not using a stealth combat ability!â cursed Deacon Yun Hua in shock. Many assassin-type demon spirits are able to use stealth. However, stealth skills have one flaw, which is, when itâs under attack, it will automatically reappear.
What the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit uses, isnât a stealth combat ability, but the very rare void combat ability. Which is turning itself into an existence similar to air, able to have the attacks pass through it. However, the void combat ability has a weakness to it. Once it enters into the void-form, its movements will be slowed down, comparable to a turtle. However, the void combat ability is very rarely seen. Itâs a rare ability of the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit. Ordinary people would not have been able to see it before, not to mention know its weakness.
Deacon Yun Hua paused. After so long, he still couldnât find Nie Liâs location. He already had thoughts of retreating. However, the death of two of his underlings caused him to be unwilling to do so.
âOne day, Iâll destroy your whole Heavenly Marks Family!â Deacon Yun Hua angrily thought to himself. However, itâs just a thought.
Although the Heavenly Marks Family has declined, itâs still an Aristocratic Family of Glory City. Itâs still under the protection of Glory City. Therefore, if the Dark Guild wants to destroy Glory City, they will have to take down the whole Glory City, and this kind of matter isnât something that can be decided by him.
Suddenly, distant rustling sounds came from the far end of the woods. Several figures were coming at a fast speed.
Itâs the people of Heavenly Marks Family!
Deacon Yun Huaâs eye contracted, and leaped up into the sky, madly running out.
Nie Liâs eyes slightly narrowed. Since reinforcements came, there was nothing that he needs to be worried about. He suddenly reappeared, and the sharp sickle chopped towards Deacon Yun Hua.
Nie Liâs movement is shockingly fast after he merged with the Shadow Devil Demon spirit, like a mantis hunting.
Feeling the sudden attack, Deacon Yun Hua was shocked. He immediately turned around to dodge, however, he was a step too late.
Pssh!
A wound was left on his leg, fresh blood spewing around.
âDamn!â Deacon Yun Hua never thought that the attacking speed of the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit would be so fast. Itâs much faster compared to the previous attack.
Deacon Yun Hua leaped far away, a few ups and downs and disappeared from the dark forest.
Because of his cultivation, Nie Li estimated that he wouldnât be able to catch up. A human voice came from behind, it should be the elders arriving. Nie Liâs body slightly moved. The Shadow Devil Demon Spirit slowly withdrew back into his soul realm. His body changed back to his ordinary looks.
Whoosh!
Three figures arrived in front of Nie Li. The leading one is elder Nie En, the other two were Nie Xiaofeng and Nie Xiaori, two brothers. The two brothers, Nie Xiaofeng and Nie Xiaori are older than Nie Li by a few years. Nie Xiaofeng is already a 2-star Silver rank Demon Spiritualist and Nie Xiaori is a 1-star Silver rank Fighter.
Nie Liâs relation with the two brothers are not that good. They would often mock at Nie Liâs weak talent.
âNie Li, you got Nie Yu to inform that there are three people from the Dark Guild here, where are they?â Nie En asked in a stern voice. He then sniffed, noticing a bloody smell from the forest.
âOne ran towards that direction, the other two are on the floor.â Nie Li continued, âThe one that ran away had the strength of a 5-star Silver rank Demon Spiritualist. He merged with the Black Star Tiger Demon Spirit. Elder, you have to be careful. That person also sustained some injuries, hence there will be traces of blood.
Hearing Nie Liâs words, elder Nie En looked at Nie Li in surprise. He vaguely felt that the current Nie Li seems to be different from the usual Nie Li.
âIâll go and chase after him, the two of you will remain here!â elder Nie En said in a stern voice. If the opponent is really a 5-star Silver rank Demon Spiritualist, then the two brothers would be no use against him.
Nie En leaped, chasing after the direction where Deacon Yun Hua escaped. After a moment, his figure disappeared from the dark forest.
Seeing as Nie En ran far away, Xiao Feng and Xiao Ri both took a glimpse at Nie Li, their faces flashed a hint of disgust in them.
âWhy would people from the Dark Guild even come here. If you lied to elder Nie En, you should know of the consequencesâŚâŚâ Xiao Ri said, coldly snorting. Heâs wearing a black cloak. The twenty year old him is a head taller than Nie Li. His eyes had disdain within them when he looked at Nie Li.
Hearing Xiao Riâs words, Nie Li slightly frowned and said, âBluffing you guys? Thereâs two corpse on the ground there, canât you see?â
Although he doesnât like the two brothers, they are still members of the Heavenly Marks Family. After experiencing the destruction of Glory City in his previous life, with all of the members of the Heavenly Marks Family dying under the claws of demon beasts, his personal grudges donât mean much.
Nie Xiaofeng is older than Nie Xiaori by one year, and was slightly more calm compared to Xiao Ri. Because of their parentâs generation not getting along, they themselves do not get along with Nie Li. However, Nie Xiaofeng realized that the Nie Li today is different from the usual Nie Li. He actually dared to talk back to them so confidently.
The three of them moved forward a distance, and Xiao Feng and Xiao Ri saw the corpses of Liu Qing and Liu Yan.
They never imagined that there would really be two corpses.
âHow did they die?â Xiao Ri froze for a moment, frowned and asked again, âYouâre the one that killed them?â
Nie Li did not answer his question, but bent down and examined Liu Qing and Liu Yan. He found two Dark Guild tokens on the two corpses.
âItâs really the people from the Dark Guild!â Nie Xiaori snorted, âProbably two dumb thieves, coming to our Heavenly Marks Family to steal and was found by you.â
Because of Nie Liâs cultivation not even reaching 1-star Bronze rank, the strength of these two dumb thieves also couldnât be much.
Nie Xiaofeng stared at Nie Xiaori, his face flashed with doubts. He also bent down, and ripped a few Silver rank armours from Liu Qing and Liu Yanâs corpses. His right hand pinched the two corpses and said, âItâs two Silver rank Fighters!â
âSilver rank? How can this be? Big bro, are you seeing it wrongly?â Nie Xiaori cried out.
âIt is indeed Silver rank. There is Silver rank armour on their bodies, the strength of their bodies should be higher than yours,â Nie Xiaofeng said, without any doubts in his tone.
At this moment, whether if itâs Nie Xiaofeng or Nie Xiaori, they had their gazes on Nie Li.
âYouâre the one that killed them?â
Nie Li shrugged and said, âI never said that I was the one who killed them. They could have killed themselves.â
This matter is fishy. Both Nie Xiaofeng and Nie Xiaori frowned. Could it be that there are experts around this area? Since this expert helped to kill the people from the Dark Guild, they shouldnât be an enemy of the Heavenly Marks Family.
Nie Xiaoriâs gaze swept across Nie Li. He felt that Nie Li is too suspicious. However, no matter how he thinks about it, itâs absolutely impossible for Nie Li to reach Silver rank in just few months. Not to mention Nie Liâs strength isnât stronger than an ordinary Silver rank.
