Chapter 110: Chapter 101: Sneak Attack Failed
"Get back!"
As if sensing the power of the Divine Wind Golden Shield, the horn on King Ning’s head suddenly elongated and shot forward to et it!
CLANG!
Although the Divine Wind Golden Shield was the last to attack, it was the first to clash with the horn. It let out a crisp sound and was knocked backward.
"Break!"
Having blocked the Divine Wind Golden Shield’s attack, King Ning breathed a sigh of relief. With a cold shout, his arm muscles bulged, and he shot a stream of power from each of his palms, instantly eting the axe-light and the Palm Seal.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The axe-light and Palm Seal collided with this power, setting off a series of Qi explosions before they all dissipated into thin air.
After consecutively blocking the sneak attacks from three people, King Ning’s face turned ashen; he seed to have sustained considerable injuries.
"A good chance! Watch
give him the final blow!"
Seeing the look on his face, Nie Xiaotian’s eyes imdiately lit up. He unleashed his rolling Ultimate Venerable Great Compassion Hand, striking down once more.
"Father, no! Get back, quick!"
Seeing his father make a move, Nie Yun’s pupils shrank. In his urgency, his speed suddenly tripled. He shot past King Ning, grabbed his father’s arm, and flung him forward!
He had fought countless battles against Demons in his past life, so he knew that a Demon’s change in expression wasn’t a sign of injury, but of utter rage. To attack at this mont would be to invite an unprecedented counterattack!
This King Ning was a Peak Powerhouse of Qi Sect and had now undergone Demonization. If he were to counterattack, forget an Early-Stage Qi Sect cultivator—even soone at the Peak of Qi Sect would be killed instantly!
"Die!"
With a savage expression, King Ning threw a punch at Nie Yun’s back!
BANG!
Nie Yun had just thrown his father and had no ti to dodge. A sharp pain shot through him, and a sweet taste filled his throat as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body sailed forward like a kite with a snapped string, flying even faster than Nie Xiaotian!
"Yun’er..." Only then did Nie Xiaotian realize his son had saved him. A wave of regret washed over him. He reached out, caught his heavily injured son in mid-air, and bolted forward.
At that mont, he had only one thought in his mind: ’I have to save my son, even if it ans my own death!’
"You think you can just sneak attack
and escape?" King Ning transferred all his fury onto the pair, completely ignoring Luoo Zhanhao who was fleeing to the side, and gave chase with large strides.
"Stay right there!"
Arriving behind the two in just a few steps, King Ning reached out his hand to grab Nie Xiaotian’s back.
This grab could break the sky and shatter stone; its might was unparalleled. If it connected, forget Nie Xiaotian—even Nie Yun, who was on the verge of reaching Great Success in the second level of the Spirit Rhinoceros Body Refining Technique, would be killed instantly!
RUMBLE!
Just as King Ning was about to grab Nie Xiaotian, the Hall of Confusion suddenly began to shake violently, and a thunderous, earthquake-like sound rang out.
"What is this?"
Startled by the sound, King Ning’s attack lost its accuracy and brushed right past Nie Xiaotian. The father and son had escaped disaster.
"Phew!"
Although he didn’t know what was happening to the Hall of Confusion or why the very ground was shaking, Nie Xiaotian still breathed a sigh of relief. He pushed his speed to the limit and desperately scrambled forward.
"You might have dodged once, but let’s see you dodge a second ti!"
Seeing Nie Xiaotian use the opening to dart a dozen ters away, King Ning shrieked wildly as his palm transford into a stream of Flowing Light and chopped toward Nie Xiaotian again.
This attack was even more ferocious than the previous grab. Before it even arrived, they could feel a fierce wind on their faces as the air let out a piercing shriek.
One could predict that if it hit, his sternum would surely shatter, and he would die on the spot!
’Are my son and I going to die here?’ Nie Xiaotian despaired.
Speed was never his strong suit, and now he was carrying Nie Yun. There was no way he could dodge this move!
SWOOSH!
Just as Nie Xiaotian thought his life was over, his body suddenly felt light. A pair of arms unexpectedly lifted him up, and with a "SWISH," they dodged the attack. They flew forward rapidly, disappearing from King Ning’s line of sight in the blink of an eye.
"Thank you for the rescue, City Lord. Er..."
Feeling his body lighten, Nie Xiaotian had assud Luoo Zhanhao had intervened. He breathed a sigh of relief and was in the middle of expressing his thanks when he looked down and his words trailed off. A strange expression appeared on his face.
The one carrying him wasn’t Luoo Zhanhao at all, but his son, Nie Yun—the very son who had just been grievously wounded by King Ning’s attack and was lying in his arms monts ago!
’Nie Yun’s injuries... How are they healed?’
’I was just saving him... and now he’s saving ? What in the world is going on?’
Nie Xiaotian felt like his brain had short-circuited; he couldn’t quite process what was happening.
"Father, the sound is coming from the direction of the Stone Stele! I’ll take you there!"
Seeing his father’s astonished expression, Nie Yun gave a chuckle. He knew it would be difficult to explain, so he simply rushed toward the source of the sound.
He had been injured by King Ning, but he was a Healer now. A Healer’s Healing Qi was incredibly fast at treating injuries; his were completely healed in less than two breaths’ ti!
Not only had his injuries healed, but his strength had also broken through in that instant, advancing from the Early-Stage Armor Realm to the Mid-Stage Armor Realm!
With the advancent in his Cultivation, his speed increased once more. Seeing his father in danger, he had jumped right out of his arms, picked him up, and made a swift escape!
"City Lord Luoo, hurry!"
After traveling for a short while, Nie Yun saw Luoo Zhanhao, who had fled earlier. He pulled him along, and the three of them flew like the wind toward the source of the sound.
The Stone Stele was right where Luo Qingcheng and the others were hiding. For it to suddenly make such a loud noise, they must have discovered sothing!
In no ti, the three of them arrived before the Stone Stele.
By now, the Stone Stele had shifted forward two or three ters, revealing an earthen tunnel entrance just big enough for one person to pass through. Luo Qingcheng was standing at the entrance. Seeing the three arrive, she quickly called out.
"Hurry, this is the passage out of the Hall of Confusion!"
With that, she ducked inside.
’The passage is here?’ Nie Yun was stunned for a mont, but then he recalled the gatha on the Stone Stele and instantly understood.
The gatha said that a ’bright hall lies deep within the heart.’ It didn’t an the exit was literally in one’s heart, but rather that one had to use their heart to feel a way out. ’Luo Qingcheng and the others must have understood this point and sohow found a chanism on the Stone Stele, which opened the passage.’
"City Lord Luoo, get in, quick!"
Understanding what was happening, Nie Yun had Luoo Zhanhao jump in first, followed by his father.
Just as he had done so, he heard the whistling of wind from behind. King Ning and King Tong, along with a third person, were now less than twenty ters away.
The sound of the Stone Stele moving and the passage opening was simply too loud. The two kings weren’t deaf; they had both charged toward the sound.
"Nowhere to run!"
Seeing that these few humans had not only killed five of his six subordinates, leaving only one, but were also about to escape, King Ning shrieked with rage and unleashed a Sky Breaking Palm.
"Heh, my apologies. I’ll be taking my leave!"
Having long expected this move, Nie Yun chuckled. With a single leap, he dove into the passage like a fish, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The Sky Breaking Palm truly lived up to its na, breaking nothing but empty air.
"You think you can escape just by reaching the passage? You all must die today!"
With his palm strike hitting nothing, King Ning, King Tong, and their companion roared as they arrived at the passage entrance and dove in right after.
