Nie Tian's expression darkened as he looked at the man in the sky.
The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he was clearly under the control of the bloodfiend talismans.
"Blood!" Right at this moment, the person in the sky roared again. His figure moved, and he slammed his palm down. A terrifying palm strike came crashing down towards Nie Tian and the others.
"Watch out!" Nie Tian, Jian Jingyun, and Gui Wucan shrieked in alarm. Drawing their swords in unison, they sent out three streams of sword projections that shot up into the air like flood dragons, then merged together into a single, terrifying sword projection.
This was the first time the three of them had joined forces, and yet, they were working in perfect coordination.
RUUUUMBLE! A moment later, a muffled boom rang out as the palm and sword projection slammed into each other, then exploded, sending shockwaves out tens of thousands of meters in all directions, causing heaven and earth to shake violently.
'What a strong person!' Nie Tian thought, falling back a few hundred meters, blood oozing out of the corner of his mouth. His face was a bit ashen as he looked up at the ruthless figure.
Meanwhile, Jian Jingyun and Gui Wucan were in even worse shape. They had been sent tumbling back a thousand meters, their bodies covered in blood. Thankfully, they had only sustained superficial wounds.
The fact that Nie Tian, Yang Qi, and Gui Wucan had failed to block a single palm strike proved that this person was terrifyingly strong.
Nie Tian sent out his divine sense, and was shocked to find that this person was a late Paramount God!
No wonder his palm strike was so powerful.
Thankfully, the man's limbs were bound by chains, otherwise he would have seriously injured Nie Tian and the others.
"Blood!" Following that, that person roared again. His figure moved, and he actually wanted to attack again.
His eyes were bloodshot, and filled with an instinctive thirst for blood.
"Stay your hand, Jing Chen!" At this moment, a low roar rang out. After that, a terrifying energy appeared in the air, directly wrapping around that person. After that, boundless energy gushed into that person's body, causing him to calm down.
After a while, the Berserker called Jing Chen gradually calmed down, and his figure slowly descended.
"Hmm?" Nie Tian was stunned. He looked at the black-robed cultivator who suddenly appeared in the air. It was the black-robed cultivator who had made a move and calmed Jing Chen down.
The black-garbed man looked to be a middle-aged man with chiseled features, piercing eyes, and powerful energy. Shockingly, he was a late Paramount God, and his aura surpassed Jing Chen's.
"Who are you people?" The black-clothed cultivator's figure flashed and directly appeared in front of Nie Tian and the others. His gloomy eyes swept over Nie Tian and the others, and then his eyes fell on the two guards on the ground. His face suddenly changed and he roared, "How dare you injure the City Lord's people!"
Nie Tian's eyes flickered for a moment before he calmed down. He looked at the man and said, "You must be the City Lord, right?"
"Since you know who this City Lord is, why haven't you scrammed yet?!" The black-clothed cultivator roared angrily. Although his eyes were filled with anger, he did not make a move.
This black-clothed cultivator was none other than the City Lord of the Seven Dark Cities, Jing Li!
"City Lord, please calm down. I'm just here to pay you a visit," Nie Tian said indifferently, bowing slightly.
"Injuring the City Lord's guards, is this how you pay a visit to the City Lord?" Jing Li said coldly, staring at Nie Tian. He was surprised by the latter's calmness.
"City Lord, this is just a misunderstanding," Nie Tian said with a faint smile, not explaining too much.
Since Jing Li did not make a move, it meant that he was not someone who could not distinguish right from wrong.
"A misunderstanding?" Jing Li said Cold, his eyes locked on Nie Tian, as if trying to confirm something.
Nie Tian's face was calm, and then he said, "City Lord, the person who attacked us just now was controlled by the Blood Fiend Runes, right?"
"En?" Jing Li's gaze froze, and he could not help but be surprised. "You know about the Blood Fiend Runes?"
"I know a little," Nie Tian nodded with a smile. "Maybe I can help that person recover his consciousness."
"Is what you say true?" Jing Li's eyes trembled, and he could not hide the heat in them.
"Of course," Nie Tian nodded with a smile, his expression calm.
Jing Li was stunned. After thinking for a long time, his figure landed, and he bowed deeply to Nie Tian. He said respectfully, "Mister, please enter the house."
Nie Tian did not stand on ceremony, and walked into the City Lord's house.
A moment later, Jing Li brought Nie Tian and the others to a remote place in the back courtyard of the City Lord's house.
Nie Tian saw a small courtyard in front of him, and he could smell the pungent smell of blood from far away.
Following this, the group entered the small courtyard and saw the unconscious Jing Chen on the ground.
Jing Chen's four limbs were shackled by long metal chains, and his body continuously released a bloody and ruthless aura.
"He is called Jing Chen, and he is my younger brother!" Jing Li said heavily, his expression extremely grave.
Nie Tian was slightly surprised. He had not thought that Jing Li and Jing Chen were brothers. No wonder Jing Li cared so much about Jing Chen.
"Mister, do you really have a way to help my brother recover his consciousness?" Jing Li's eyes burned as he looked at Nie Tian, and he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.
Originally, he did not believe Nie Tian, but when the latter mentioned the Blood Fiend Runes, he had no choice but to believe.
In the entire Zone of Darkness, there were very few people that knew of the existence of the Blood Fiend Runes.
"City Lord, I do not have complete confidence that I can help him recover his consciousness, but I have confidence that I can force out the Blood Fiend Runes in his body, so that he is no longer controlled by the runes," Nie Tian nodded slightly and said heavily.
"Mister, if you can help my brother force out the Blood Fiend Runes, Jing Li is willing to do anything for Mister!" Jing Li's eyes flashed as he directly guaranteed.
Nie Tian faintly smiled, and did not say anything. Instead, he took a step forward and came to Jing Chen's side.
Everyone could not help but become nervous, afraid that Jing Chen would suddenly wake up and injure Nie Tian.
Nie Tian's consciousness opened, and he carefully sensed the Blood Fiend Runes in Jing Chen's body. His expression could not help but become grave.
"Mister, how is Jing Chen?" Jing Li took a step forward, and seeing that Nie Tian's complexion was not good, he could not help but ask nervously.
"The meridians and blood in his body have been completely occupied by the Blood Fiend Runes. The power of the runes has devoured his consciousness, leaving him with only the simplest bloodthirsty killing intent," Nie Tian said heavily. The density of the Blood Fiend Runes in Jing Chen's body was much denser than he had expected.
"Jing Chen's consciousness was devoured half a year ago. At the time, I had no choice but to use the Elven Metal Chain to lock him up." Jing Li nodded his head and said, "With my strength, I can only help him suppress the Blood Fiend Runes and prevent him from going berserk. But once he smells the scent of fresh blood, he will suddenly go berserk and want to kill. "
Jing Chen had been controlled by the Blood Fiend Runes half a year ago. He had relied on Jing Li to suppress the Blood Fiend Runes with pure spirit power every day, allowing him to live until today.
In reality, the reason why Jing Chen had gone berserk just now was because Nie Tian had injured two guards, causing Jing Chen to smell the scent of fresh blood.
"City Lord, the Blood Fiend Runes in Jing Chen's body are too strong. I can only try and see if I can help him force out the Blood Fiend Runes," Nie Tian looked at Jing Li and said heavily.
Nie Tian had underestimated the density of the Blood Fiend Runes in Jing Chen's body. Right now, he could only do his best.
"En." Jing Li nodded his head heavily, saying, "Mister, no matter if you succeed or not, you are this Jing's benefactor."
Nie Tian took a deep breath and then took a step forward, releasing the power of the Fiendgod from his body.
