The scene in midair shocked everyone, and their expressions became sluggish.
Countless gazes locked onto the blood-colored figure high up in the sky in shock.
The blood-colored figure was Lin Qiying.
At this time, Lin Qiying stood shakily in the air, like a leaf in the wind, about to wither and shatter at any time.
If one looked closely, they would discover that his body was covered with glaring wounds, and the wounds were so deep that bones could be seen.
These wounds were obviously caused by sword intent.
The sword intent of Nie Tian's sword had penetrated the cold power and directly bombarded Lin Qiying's body.
"This..." Everyone gasped when they saw Lin Qiying's injuries, and their expressions were extremely shocked.
Nie Tian's strength was simply abnormal!
A casual sword strike had severely injured Lin Qiying.
Lin Qiying's injuries were even more serious than Lin Xi's, who had lost both arms.
"How is this possible!" Lin Yibiao watched from below, his expression lifeless as he spoke in a daze.
He couldn't fathom how Nie Tian's sword intent could be so powerful.
Of course, he could see that in the instant when Snowball and the sword shadow collided, the sword intent had directly penetrated Snowball and bombarded Lin Qiying's body.
But the question was, why was Nie Tian's sword intent so terrifying?
"You, your strength..." High in the sky, Lin Qiying's body swayed slightly, his voice trembling.
"Don't speak, save your strength." Before he finished speaking, Nie Tian laughed coldly and said, "You want to ask why I'm so strong, right?
"I just want to tell you that it's not that I'm too strong, but that you're too weak!
"I really don't understand, how can someone as weak as you be so arrogant!"
These words fell into Lin Qiying's ears, but they were like sharp awls that pierced his heart.
Nie Tian did not admit that he was strong, but said that Lin Qiying was too weak.
This was an even heavier blow to Lin Qiying.
In fact, with Nie Tian's strength, that sword strike just now was enough to directly kill Lin Qiying, but he did not want to do so.
After all, there was no deep hatred between him and Lin Qiying. It was enough to teach the latter a lesson.
At this moment, a figure rushed into the sky and came to Lin Qiying's side. It was the eighth city lord, Lin Yibiao.
Seeing Lin Yibiao suddenly appear, everyone's eyes trembled, and their gazes instantly became blazing hot.
Obviously, everyone wanted to see the scene of Lin Yibiao attacking Nie Tian.
Almost at the same time, another figure appeared, standing not far behind Nie Tian. It was the Spirit Controller.
The Spirit Controller cared a lot about Nie Tian and would not allow anyone to hurt Nie Tian.
However, Lin Yibiao's expression was surprisingly calm. He didn't attack Nie Tian. Instead, he looked at Lin Qiying and asked, "Qiying, are you alright?"
Lin Qiying nodded slightly, her face as pale as a sheet.
Although he was heavily injured, his life was not in danger.
Needless to say, Nie Tian's attack was just right. He heavily injured Lin Qiying without taking his life.
Lin Yibiao nodded, then turned to look at Nie Tian. His expression was very complicated, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Eighth City Lord, what do you want to say?" Nie Tian smiled faintly and was very calm.
He didn't sense any killing intent from Lin Yibiao, which made him feel very strange.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yibiao said loudly with a serious expression, "Little brother, thank you for showing mercy. The Eighth City Lord has lost wholeheartedly!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Lin Yibiao's words. Their eyes widened as if they were wondering if they had heard wrong.
Who would have thought that after Nie Tian injured Lin Qiying, Lin Yibiao would actually thank Nie Tian!
Lin Yibiao's thanks at this time caught everyone off guard.
In front of so many people, this thank you was not as simple as just saying thanks.
At this moment, in everyone's opinion, Lin Yibiao's action was admitting defeat.
The dignified City Lord of a main city actually yielded to a junior. This was practically a first in the Dark Sea Black Prison.
Nie Tian frowned, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Lin Yibiao's sudden apology was also something he didn't expect.
However, in his opinion, Lin Yibiao's action at this moment was very wise.
At least it showed that Lin Yibiao was not a complete idiot.
Nie Tian could have easily killed Lin Xi and Lin Qiying with two attacks.
However, Nie Tian didn't do so, which was enough to show that he didn't want to be enemies with anyone.
Lin Yibiao's attitude at this time had reversed. He looked very stupid on the surface, but he was actually very smart.
The Dark Ocean Hunt had not even begun, and Lin Qiying and Lin Xi were both already seriously injured.
This meant that the Eighth City basically had no hope. After the Dark Ocean Hunt, there was absolutely no way for them to keep their position as a City Lord.
The Seventh City had Nie Tian, and it was the least likely that they could keep their position as a City Lord.
Therefore, Lin Yibiao didn't want to completely offend the Seventh City.
One had to admit that this guy's brain worked quite fast.
"You're welcome, Eighth City Lord." Nie Tian smiled slightly and responded indifferently.
Lin Yibiao nodded and forced a smile. Then, he looked at the Spirit Controller, bowed slightly, and said, "Seventh City Lord, in this time's Dark Ocean Hunt, the Eighth City would like to form an alliance with the Seventh City. What do you think?"
As his faint voice fell, it caused an uproar among the crowd.
Who would have thought that Lin Yibiao would want to form an alliance with the Seventh City?
However, after thinking about it for a while, everyone understood.
The Seventh City had an expert like Nie Tian, and there were few opponents in the Dark Ocean Hunt.
At this time, forming an alliance with the Seventh City was undoubtedly the wisest choice.
The Spirit Controller was stunned at first, and then he smiled and said, "Eighth City Lord, I have given full authority over the Dark Ocean Hunt to Nie Tian. If you want to form an alliance, don't ask me. Just ask Nie Tian directly."
The Spirit Controller's words stunned everyone once again.
Everyone thought that the Spirit Controller would directly answer Lin Yibiao.
However, who would have thought that the Spirit Controller would give the decision to Nie Tian, as if he could not decide this matter and only Nie Tian could.
It seemed that the Spirit Controller did not regard Nie Tian as a subordinate, but as an equal partner.
The next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Nie Tian, waiting for his answer.
Nie Tian raised the corner of his mouth, smiled faintly, and said loudly, "Eighth City Lord, forget about the alliance."
"But I can assure you that if I meet the people of the Eighth City during the Dark Ocean Hunt, I will never attack them."
"Consider it compensation for the two people I just injured."
His faint voice was calm and indifferent, but it was full of arrogance.
Everyone's eyes trembled, and they were extremely surprised.
Even a fool could tell that Nie Tian disdained to form an alliance with the Eighth City.
In fact, it made sense. The hunting captain of the Eighth City had been destroyed, and its strength was similar to that of a vassal city. There was indeed no need to form an alliance.
Lin Yibiao's old face darkened. He was extremely embarrassed, but he did not dare to show it. He could only nod slightly and say, "Thank you, Nie Tian, my young friend."
Nie Tian smiled faintly and said no more.
Then, he turned and was ready to leave.
