"A mere fourth-ranked Pseudo-Sage ant dares to fight me? What a joke! " Bu Qingchen looked at Nie Tian with disdain. Sword intent surged from his body and a sharp aura burst forth, as though it was about to tear the void apart.
Ignoring Bu Qingchen's provocation, Nie Tian narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Everyone, back off!"
His next battle with Bu Qingchen would be extremely intense. It would be better for the others to retreat.
Shang Lai and the rest looked at Nie Tian as they retreated.
At this moment, Shang Lai and the rest were filled with worry.
They knew that Nie Tian was strong, but Nie Tian's opponent was undoubtedly stronger.
Even one of the nine princes, Xuan Xu, was easily killed by Bu Qingchen. Would Nie Tian be Bu Qingchen's opponent?
At the same time, the others also retreated, their eyes trembling as they waited for an opportunity to escape.
Of course, they didn't believe that Nie Tian would be Bu Qingchen's opponent.
"You can't even protect yourself. Why would you care about others?" Bu Qingchen laughed Coldly. The Heavenly Will Light Dust in his hand trembled slightly. Instantly, a sharp sword intent transformed into hundreds of terrifying sword shadows, enveloping Nie Tian.
"Roar!" Nie Tian's lips twitched as he summoned his Azure Dragon Astral Soul. Numerous Astral Inscriptions surged in the air, instantly forming an Azure Dragon that was thousands of meters long. It roared angrily, shaking the heavens and earth.
"Chi, chi, chi …" In the next moment, the sword shadows whistled and tore the Azure Dragon apart. Following which, a cold sword light transformed into a ray of light and shot towards Nie Tian.
In the blink of an eye, Nie Tian felt a suffocating pressure bearing down on him, causing his countenance to change. Immediately, a pair of Astral Soul Wings appeared on his back as he rapidly retreated.
However, he was still one step too late.
"Pu!" The sword light flashed, dyeing the air red. On Nie Tian's shoulder, a wound so deep that his bones could be seen appeared. His flesh and blood curled up, instantly dying half of his body red.
He retreated a few hundred meters before he managed to stabilize himself.
Upon seeing this, Shang Lai's eyes flickered as he exclaimed, "Brother Nie Tian!"
This scene was within his expectations, but when it really happened, he was still extremely shocked.
No matter how talented Nie Tian was, there was no way he could fight against Bu Qingchen, who was a pseudo-Sage Ninth Stage.
It was just that Nie Tian's injuries were too tragic.
"This guy can't hold on any longer." The others looked at Nie Tian in shock and couldn't help but retreat.
Nie Tian steadied himself, his countenance was somewhat unsightly. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he thought to himself, "The Azure Dragon Astral Soul is still not enough."
The Azure Dragon Astral Soul he used earlier was based on the Azure Dragon Astral Soul diagram recorded in the Original Codex of Astral Souls, slowly inscribing it using Astral Runes.
The Astral Souls inscribed using this method were like a painting apprentice, drawing out each stroke at a time. Naturally, the might of the Astral Souls would be very weak.
Nie Tian had already mentally prepared himself that the power of the Azure Dragon Astral Soul wouldn't be too strong.
After all, the Azure Dragon Astral Soul was no longer recorded in the Original Codex of Astral Souls.
However, he didn't expect the Azure Dragon Astral Soul to be so weak. It was simply a facade and couldn't even block a single attack from Bu Qingchen.
In fact, Bu Qingchen's strength was slightly weaker than the opponent Nie Tian had faced before, the Feitian Wolf of the Asura Race.
Back then, when Nie Tian faced the Feitian Wolf, he had used the Azure Dragon Astral Soul to instantly kill the latter.
But now, his Azure Dragon Astral Soul wasn't even worth mentioning.
"It seems like my ability to inscribe Astral Souls is still too weak." Nie Tian smiled bitterly and frowned as he stared at Bu Qingchen in the distance.
One had to admit that Bu Qingchen's sword intent was extremely strong and sharp to the extreme.
Nie Tian had once encountered swordsmen with a higher level in the Sword Dao. However, the sword intent of those swordsmen wasn't as sharp as Bu Qingchen's.
Not only that, Bu Qingchen's usage of sword intent was terrifying. His sword intent was condensed into a blade that was incomparably sharp.
If it wasn't for this, Bu Qingchen wouldn't have been able to kill Xuan Xu so easily.
"Huh?" Bu Qingchen's gaze froze after injuring Nie Tian. There wasn't any joy on his face. Instead, he was extremely shocked.
He saw that the wound on Nie Tian's shoulder had actually healed in the blink of an eye.
His sword intent was as sharp as a blade and extremely violent. If it was an ordinary fourth-ranked pseudo-Sage cultivator, they would have already been torn apart by his sword intent.
However, Nie Tian's Martial Physique was extremely strong. He was actually able to force out Bu Qingchen's sword intent.
As Nie Tian's wound healed, his lips curled into a faint smile.
Fortunately, his Martial Physique was extremely strong. Otherwise, that sword would have taken his life.
"Kid, not bad. You've won yourself a chance to live." At that moment, Bu Qingchen's eyes narrowed slightly. His lips curled into a sinister smile as he said, "As long as you help me kill everyone here, I'll let you live!"
The crowd's eyes narrowed upon hearing Bu Qingchen's words. Their faces instantly turned ugly.
Although in their opinion, Nie Tian's strength was far below Bu Qingchen's, Nie Tian was their only hope.
If this life-saving straw turned into a killing sword, they wouldn't have the slightest chance of survival.
"Bu Qingchen, you're really good at scheming." Nie Tian laughed and said, "But do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? If I really help you kill these people, I'm afraid you'll kill me without hesitation. "
"Huh?" Bu Qingchen's face darkened.
He obviously didn't expect Nie Tian to be so shrewd that he could see through his thoughts with a single glance.
He indeed had no intention of letting Nie Tian go. He only wanted to borrow Nie Tian's hand to kill these people before him.
"Kid, you're smart." Bu Qingchen smiled Coldly and said, "I wanted to save myself some trouble. But now it seems like I'll have to do it myself."
"Whoosh!" As soon as he finished speaking, Bu Qingchen's long sword swept across the sky. A sharp sword intent whistled through the air, carrying with it a murderous aura as it headed towards Nie Tian.
Nie Tian's eyes narrowed and his expression changed.
Bu Qingchen's sword intent was exceptionally sharp. In an instant, he felt a suffocating pressure.
However, in the next moment, the corner of his mouth twitched. An Astral Shield appeared around his body. Instead of retreating, he charged towards Bu Qingchen.
"Huh?" Bu Qingchen's expression changed. Nie Tian's ferocity had exceeded his expectations.
"Human Sword Slashes the Stars!" At that moment, Nie Tian roared in a low voice. A terrifying sword shadow appeared in the sky. Like a mad dragon, it pressed down fiercely. The entire space trembled and it seemed as though the heavens and earth were about to split apart.
"You're courting death!" Bu Qingchen laughed coldly. The Heavenly Will Light Dust swept out and a ray of sword light appeared, aiming for Nie Tian's throat.
Nie Tian dodged to the side, avoiding the attack. However, a terrifying wound appeared on his shoulder and blood gushed out.
"Bang!" At the same time, Bu Qingchen retreated under the attack of the powerful sword shadow. He only managed to stabilize himself after retreating for more than a thousand meters. He looked extremely pathetic.
He didn't expect that Nie Tian's attack would be so terrifying.
At that moment, the people from the Spirit Jade Branch and the Mysterious Firmament Branch seized the opportunity to flee.
