On the stage, Luo Ziyan had a look of bewilderment on her face as she stared at Nie Tian. She was filled with bewilderment and shock.
Her earlier sword strike was extremely fast, yet she didn't manage to kill Nie Tian. In fact, she didn't even manage to injure him.
In her opinion, this was something impossible.
When the crowd saw that after Luo Ziyan's sword strike, Nie Tian didn't die and was still standing there unscathed, their gazes violently trembled. Their expressions turned sluggish, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
The entire crowd fell into a momentary silence. Everyone stared at the sky above the stage, not daring to believe the scene before their eyes.
Luo Ziyan had heavily injured Jian Qiu with a single sword strike, and she had held back.
But when she used her full strength to kill Nie Tian, she didn't even manage to injure him. This was simply too bizarre.
From this, it could be seen that Nie Tian's strength was far above Jian Qiu's.
In the next instant, the gazes of everyone were focused on Nie Tian. When they saw the Astral Soul Armor and the Astral Soul Wings on his back, they were all extremely astonished. They had no idea what sort of strange martial technique this was. How could it be so powerful that it could block Luo Ziyan's attack?
At this moment, Nie Tian stared at Luo Ziyan. Although he didn't appear to care, he was actually extremely shocked in his heart.
Luckily, he had activated the Astral Soul Armor in advance. If not, even if he didn't die from that earlier sword strike, he would still be heavily injured.
Luo Ziyan's strength was extremely powerful, far exceeding Nie Tian's expectations.
One must know that Nie Tian's Astral Soul Armor was sufficient to fight head-on against a strength-type cultivator like the Three Golden Sands.
Back then, when the Astral Soul Armor clashed head-on with the Three Golden Sands, Nie Tian wasn't injured at all.
But now, he was injured after receiving a sword strike from Luo Ziyan. From this, one could see that Luo Ziyan's attack was even stronger than the Three Golden Sands.
Earlier, when Luo Ziyan defeated Jian Qiu, it was because Jian Qiu wasn't able to defend against it.
Nie Tian knew that Luo Ziyan's Thousand Clouds Barrier was extremely strange, so he activated his Astral Soul Armor before she made her move.
Initially, Nie Tian thought that with his Astral Soul Armor activated, he would definitely be safe and sound. He didn't expect that he would still be injured.
Not only did the Astral Spirit Armor have a strong frontal defense, it also had a strong cushioning ability, which could greatly reduce the impact of various attacks.
Even so, Nie Tian was still injured.
"Nie Tian, you are very smart." At this moment, Luo Ziyan had calmed down a lot. She looked at Nie Tian with a complicated gaze and said coldly, "You knew that I was very fast, so you activated the defense in advance."
At that moment, many experts also realized this, and they all admired Nie Tian's wisdom.
However, Nie Tian was able to survive because his defense was strong enough. Otherwise, he would have died.
"Luo Ziyan, I died in your hands because I was too stupid in my previous life. I won't make the same mistake a second time. " The corners of Nie Tian's lips curled up, and a resolute expression appeared on his face. "I won't let the same person kill me a second time!"
"Hmph hmph!" Suddenly, Luo Ziyan laughed coldly and said, "Nie Tian, I admit that your defense is strong enough, but how long can you activate it? When your energy is exhausted, will you still say this?"
Luo Ziyan believed that it was definitely not easy for Nie Tian to activate such a powerful defense. With his strength, he wouldn't be able to maintain this state for long.
Once the Astral Soul Armor ran out, Nie Tian would still die!
Nie Tian's gaze trembled slightly, and he sneered, "Before my energy is exhausted, it's enough to kill you!"
As the cold voice faded, Nie Tian's gaze turned cold. The Astral Soul Wings on his back shook violently, and in an instant, endless starlight gushed out. Nie Tian stabbed out with his sword, and countless sword shadows covered the sky and earth. They actually linked up to form a sword net that was thousands of meters wide, and it blasted towards Luo Ziyan.
Nie Tian knew that Luo Ziyan's speed was extremely fast in the Thousand Clouds Barrier, so he could only try using this kind of large-scale attack.
Looking at the sword net in front of her, Luo Ziyan sneered and said in a low voice, "You want to hurt me with this kind of attack? Childish!"
As the sound of her voice faded, she took a step forward, and as her body moved, she left a row of afterimages in the space.
Within the Thousand Clouds Barrier, Luo Ziyan felt that the flow of time was only one-fifth of the outside world. Unknowingly, her speed increased by five times.
"Bang!" Luo Ziyan's figure was like a sword, directly piercing through the sword net, and directly blasting towards Nie Tian.
"Kaboom!" In mid-air, a vast purple sword shadow bombarded the Astral Soul Armor, and a loud explosion sounded. Nie Tian's figure was sent flying, and a glaring crack actually appeared on the Astral Soul Armor!
Nie Tian stabilized his body, and spat out a mouthful of dirty blood. His eyes couldn't help but flicker, and he said in his heart, "This can't go on. Luo Ziyan's speed is too fast. In the Thousand Clouds Barrier, I can't hit her at all, and can only take a beating."
"Moreover, she has the Thousand Clouds Dark Body, and her martial body is far stronger than ordinary martial artists. It's impossible to wait for the Thousand Clouds Barrier to disappear by itself. I have to break this barrier! "
Nie Tian's original plan was to rely on the defense of the Astral Soul Armor to contend with Luo Ziyan, and wait for the Thousand Clouds Barrier to disappear by itself.
But from the looks of it now, this idea was too naive. Luo Ziyan's attack power had exceeded Nie Tian's expectations.
If he blindly defended, the final result would still be death.
"Nie Tian, how much longer can you last?" Luo Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she smiled Cold, appearing provocative and disdainful.
Nie Tian's eyes slightly narrowed, and his body trembled. A wisp of starlight gushed out from his body, and the crack on the Astral Soul Armor immediately healed.
The Astral Soul Armor could still block Luo Ziyan's attack, but it had to pay the price of a huge amount of Astral Energy.
If this continued, Nie Tian indeed wouldn't be able to last for long.
"I have to break the Thousand Clouds Barrier!" Nie Tian's eyes narrowed as he stared into the air. Activating his holographic divine imprints, he carefully sensed everything in his surroundings.
However, the Thousand Clouds Barrier was extremely strange. This barrier was very powerful, but its aura was very weak. It was very hard to sense.
"Nie Tian, why don't you try attacking the Thousand Clouds Barrier first?" At this moment, Di Shitian's voice suddenly rang out, reminding Nie Tian.
Nie Tian was slightly startled, he didn't really understand Di Shitian's words. Given his current strength, he had to first inscribe a holographic projection of the Thousand Clouds Barrier and find its weakness. Only then would he be able to break the barrier.
If he attacked the barrier directly, it would be extremely difficult.
However, Nie Tian didn't think too much about it. There must be a reason why Di Shitian wanted him to attack the barrier directly.
As he thought of this, Nie Tian no longer hesitated. His body trembled as an even greater amount of Astral Energy gushed out from his body. A ball of astral flames appeared, and at the same time, an astral shield appeared in his hands. This was none other than the Astral Soul Shield.
This time around, Nie Tian's Astral Soul Armor was fully activated.
Astral Soul Wings, Astral Soul Flames, Astral Soul Armor, and Astral Soul Shield, all activated at the same time!
"Mhm?" Luo Ziyan's beautiful eyes flickered involuntarily when she saw the changes in Nie Tian's body. After which, a Cold smile appeared on her face as she spoke, "Nie Tian, it seems like your strength has exceeded my expectations. However, this won't change anything. You will die today for sure! "
As the sound of her cold voice faded, Luo Ziyan's silhouette flickered as she unleashed her Thousand Clouds Violet Mist. Purple-colored sword intent erupted forth, akin to boiling steam as it condensed into a gigantic sword shadow that was a few thousand meters long, pressing towards Nie Tian.
