250: Chapter 250 Spatial Rift

Although Abbott appeared divinely brave and extraordinary, Nie Ning still saw the problem.

Abbott's body had not yet recovered, and such high-intensity combat was making him increasingly weak; he was fighting entirely by overdrawing his own life force.

Nie Ning pondered for a moment, a flash of lightning flickering in his hand.

But suddenly, Nie Ning froze and looked down at his right hand, which held the xueyan bladeless.

Lightning converged on the xueyan bladeless, a whirlwind swirled around the blade's surface, thunder light flickered within the gale, and points of light representing a star river lit up. The entire long blade exuded an unusual aura.

'Is this damn thing a staff?'

A look of astonishment appeared on Nie Ning's face.

However, upon sensing it carefully, it seemed to be somewhat different.

Looking at the three people fighting in the distance, Nie Ning swung the long blade in his hand. A two-meter Wind-Thunder Blade swept across, flying before Ryan as if teleporting.

Caught off guard, Ryan was sent flying by the strike.

Everyone on the field was shocked by Nie Ning's attack.

After all, Ryan was a standard Rank Five, and even if he couldn't truly be injured, being able to knock a Rank Five back was enough to brag about for a lifetime.

Nie Ning himself was startled; this weapon was indeed very unusual.

Although the Wind-Thunder Blade was a magical beast skill, it still belonged to the category of runic evolution; it was simply a technique engraved in the bloodline.

If Nie Ning were to comprehend it, he could even modify the Wind-Thunder Blade into a wizardry suitable for humans.

While using the xueyan bladeless, he clearly felt the Runic Formula of the Wind-Thunder Blade change just now, which caused the power of the Wind-Thunder Blade to suddenly double.

However, it was still a bit difficult to cause damage to a Rank Five.

Never mind just doubling the power; even if it increased tenfold, it would be impossible for him to defeat a Rank Five.

Because ranks were not set arbitrarily; crossing one major rank was already quite difficult, and if one wanted to cross two major ranks, they could only rely on items like rune orbs; simple amplification-type equipment could hardly achieve it.

"Damn brat!"

The exasperated Ryan scrambled up from the ground, clutching his longsword as he rushed toward Nie Ning.

As battle qi converged in his legs, Ryan suddenly accelerated and reached Nie Ning's side.

At this moment, Abbott was pinned down by Paramond and was completely unable to come to the rescue.

'So fast!'

Relying on Thought Acceleration, Nie Ning barely caught a glimpse of an afterimage and raised the long blade in his hand to parry in advance.

Without any surprise, Nie Ning was sent flying by Ryan's powerful strength, his body slamming into the wall behind him.

Fortunately, the xueyan bladeless was extremely hard, which prevented Nie Ning from being cleaved in half by Ryan.

Just as Ryan wanted to continue his attack, Heloise took down the star river codex.

In an instant, an invisible ripple spread outward, and the entire treasury seemed to transform into a star river.

"It truly is a supreme treasure!"

Watching the changes on the field, Ryan's hands trembled slightly with excitement.

Ryan no longer cared about Nie Ning and turned to rush toward Heloise's direction.

"Stop him!"

Nie Ning shouted loudly at Abbott.

At this point, even without Nie Ning saying anything, Abbott knew what to do.

Forcing his overdrawn and weakened body, the battle qi inside Abbott erupted, knocking back the nearby Paramond before he rushed toward Heloise.

Seeing this, Paramond followed closely behind.

At this moment, the speed of the several people was about the same: two who were poisoned and one whose body was weakened.

But then Nie Ning suddenly pounced toward Paramond.

Seeing this, Paramond glanced at Nie Ning with disdain and casually sent out several Wind Blades toward him.

The most important thing now was the star river codex; he had no time to play house with Nie Ning here.

Suddenly, Paramond felt something was wrong.

Turning his head to look at Nie Ning again, he found that Nie Ning had actually transformed into a humanoid beast, tanking the Wind Blades to rush behind him.

Nie Ning's face was slightly pale, but a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his lips moved slightly.

Although Paramond couldn't hear what Nie Ning was saying, he could see Nie Ning's meaning: 'You lose.'

Paramond showed a mocking expression and quickly propped up a magic barrier.

With Nie Ning's Rank Three strength, there was no way he could have a chance to hurt him.

But when Nie Ning arrived behind Paramond, a golden short spike had appeared in his hand at some point.

As the magic-breaking blade pierced the shield, a gap immediately appeared in the shield, and then Nie Ning drove straight in, stabbing Paramond in the back.

A Fifth-Circle Wizard's body was very tough; Nie Ning only managed to pierce the magic-breaking blade an inch into Paramond's body.

But for Nie Ning, it was already enough!

The magic-breaking blade broke the magic balance within Paramond's body, causing the defensive shield and magic reinforcement to fail.

Nie Ning swung the xueyan bladeless in his hand with a backhand, the lightning-carrying blade striking directly at Paramond's face.

Paramond's reaction speed was very fast, his body leaning back quickly, wanting to use this to dodge Nie Ning's slash.

But with the reinforcement of the Wind and Thunder power, the xueyan bladeless still cut open Paramond's cheek, leaving a bloody trail on his face.

Knowing he had already lost the chance to kill Paramond, Nie Ning extended his leg and kicked Paramond's calf.

Paramond lost his footing and fell to the ground.

"Quickly, come over!"

Heloise's anxious voice reached Nie Ning's ears.

Nie Ning did not continue to pursue Paramond because he knew he could absolutely not harm a prepared Fifth-Circle Wizard again.

And Abbott, relying on his own speed, had already blocked Ryan's path.

Not far from Heloise, a Teleportation Array diagram appeared on the ground; seeing this, Nie Ning rushed directly toward Heloise.

A trace of blood leaked from the corner of Abbott's mouth as he erupted his battle qi once more, forcing Ryan back with a battle qi slash, then grabbing Nie Ning who had arrived beside him and rushing into the teleportation formation together.

When the three entered the Teleportation Array, they couldn't help but sigh in relief.

"Don't think you can escape!"

Paramond roared.

Just as the Teleportation Array was activating, a large bird converged from wind elements charged into the teleportation formation.

Seeing this, Abbott subconsciously slashed out a sword qi.

*Bang!*

The two forces collided within the Teleportation Array, and the resulting energy impact caused the teleportation formation to become unstable.

In Nie Ning's horrified gaze, a black crack appeared in the Teleportation Array, blocking the path right in front of Nie Ning and Heloise.

At this moment, the spatial rift generated a massive suction force.

Because Abbott was too close, he fell directly into the spatial rift.

And Heloise, beside him, lost her balance. She gave Nie Ning a terrified look as her body rapidly fell toward the spatial rift.

"Heloise!"

Nie Ning stepped forward and grabbed Heloise's hand.

But the suction from the spatial rift was very strong, and the space was also repairing and closing.

"Let go."

Looking at Nie Ning's arm being cut by the spatial rift, the terror on Heloise's face vanished, replaced by a smile of relief.

Then she raised the hand holding the star river codex, wanting to hand it to Nie Ning.

But at this moment, how could Nie Ning care about the star river codex?

"Don't give up, I..."

Before Nie Ning could finish his sentence, he saw the spatial rift close, and Heloise vanished along with his severed arm.
