330: Chapter 330 Broken Leg

Old Bogge and the others knew they couldn't let this continue, so they began launching attacks at Berly one after another.

Multicolored lights exploded near Berly, but they were blocked by a layer of yellow turtle shell light-and-shadow shield.

xielin turtle shield!

Facing this Fifth-Order Transcendent treasure, it was clearly not something Transcendents below the Second-Order could break through.

Old Bogge and the others looked as pale as death.

At this moment, the blue-white array in the sky rotated slowly, and a large amount of white hail fell from the air, shooting toward Old Bogge and the others like bullets.

Seeing this, Old Bogge and the others propped up shields to resist.

But after only a few hailstones struck, the shields they had raised were already teetering on the verge of collapse.

Just as the group was about to perish, the soil beneath their feet froze rapidly, then spread quickly, forming a slanted Ice Wall that blocked the area above them.

Hail continued to fall from the sky, but it couldn't shake the Ice Wall in the slightest.

Old Bogge and the others were bewildered, not even understanding what had happened.

Berly, seeing this scene, had a sudden change in expression. Without any hesitation, she turned and fled into the distance.

Suddenly, several Ice Chains appeared from behind Berly, catching up to the fleeing woman as quickly as serpents.

Sensing something, Berly turned her head to look back and was immediately startled. She hurriedly summoned the xielin turtle shield to block her rear.

But against those Ice Chains, the light-and-shadow shield formed by the xielin turtle shield only held out for a brief moment.

The tips of the Ice Chains turned into cones, piercing through the turtle-shadow shield, then bound themselves around Berly's leg, forcibly dragging her back.

Feeling the chill coming from her leg, Berly's expression turned fierce. She condensed an ice blade in her hand and directly severed her bound left leg.

"Huh?"

A voice of confusion rang out.

In the distance, Nie Ning, sitting on the wall, saw this, and the look of surprise on his face was unmistakable.

'Good grief, are people nowadays all this ruthless?'

If it were him, with his Transcendent self-healing ability, he could grow it back even if he cut off the leg in the middle.

But ordinary Transcendents didn't have that kind of capability.

If the body couldn't heal in a short time, the growth would stop after reaching a certain limit.

And Third-Order Transcendents clearly lacked the ability for rapid self-healing; even later treatment would require a massive price.

Most importantly, the opponent's ruthlessness truly shocked Nie Ning.

He had seen many people attack the Ice Chains, but it was truly the first time he had seen someone directly attack their own thigh.

Watching Berly fly while enduring the bleeding from her thigh, Nie Ning lightly snapped his fingers, and an Ice Chain abruptly appeared above her.

Before Berly could react, the Ice Chain whipped across her back like a long lash.

Faced with the force from the Ice Chain, Berly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her whole body fell uncontrollably into the mud below.

Before Berly could even catch her breath, an Ice Chain wrapped around her remaining leg.

This time Berly didn't sever another leg, because that would just be a futile effort.

Facing these Ice Chains that could break a Fifth-Order Transcendent treasure in one blow, even if she couldn't exert her full power, the strength of the person controlling the chains was not something she could contend with.

...

...

Nie Ning, on the city wall, was enveloped in blood mist, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Old Bogge and the others.

"Thank you for your assistance, Lord!"

Old Bogge hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Seeing this, the others also didn't dare to be negligent and all stepped forward to pay their respects.

They knew before that Nie Ning's strength was greater than theirs, but they hadn't expected it to be to this extent.

Seeing him again now, everyone's expressions became increasingly respectful.

Nie Ning waved his hand, and the group was lifted by an invisible force.

"I won't say anything superfluous. I saved your lives, so it's not too much to take some of that Kapok Bone-Eating Powder for me to study, right?"

Nie Ning was naturally very interested in a poison that could pass through energy shields.

Although it might be useless to him, he might be able to draw some inspiration from it in the future to create some high-power Transcendent items.

"Naturally, it is only right."

Hearing this, Old Bogge did not hesitate at all. He took out a blue jade box from his spatial ring and respectfully handed it to Nie Ning.

It was good enough just to be alive; they didn't dare to have any complaints.

Besides, Kapok Bone-Eating Powder was slow-acting and could actually only be used in specific situations.

In fact, if one reacted quickly enough, simply amputating the part that came into contact with it could solve the problem.

Nie Ning took the jade box and casually put it into his spatial ring.

At this moment, the Ice Chain happened to return, carrying Berly.

"Lord, I am willing to use a Fifth-Order Transcendent treasure to trade for my life!"

Seeing Nie Ning, who was clearly out of place with Old Bogge and the others, Berly immediately shouted out.

"What makes you think you're in a position to trade with me? Or are you saying that with your strength, you can destroy that treasure?"

Nie Ning unconsciously scratched his face and asked in confusion.

He had quite a few Transcendent treasures himself. The more powerful a treasure was, the harder it was to destroy; usually, they were destroyed by ruining the runic array diagram inside.

But given Berly's state, the array patterns in the turtle shell weren't something she could destroy.

After all, if it were that easy to destroy, why would anyone bother refining treasures? They'd be better off spending that time cultivating.

So basically, only someone at least one order stronger than the treasure could destroy it in an instant.

Forget about normal battles between those of the same rank; it was extremely difficult regardless.

Berly was momentarily speechless, but she still wanted to struggle a bit more: "I have a lot of wealth, and I'm from Earth Wolf Valley. If you kill me, you'll get into trouble."

Nie Ning didn't speak, but turned to look at Old Bogge and the others nearby.

Seeing that Nie Ning didn't know about Earth Wolf Valley, Old Bogge stepped forward to explain.

Earth Wolf Valley was a Transcendent power in the nearby area.

Dark Swamp was not like Yishi Mansion.

Yishi Mansion's management was very strict, not allowing powers within its borders to act recklessly; they could only conduct legitimate business to make a living.

Of course, Yishi Mansion was also quite good to Transcendent powers, only charging a symbolic tax of about twenty percent.

Dark Swamp was different; the powers residing here were quite scattered, basically each ruling their own territory like kings.

As long as the powers here paid their taxes on time and didn't fight in places where ordinary people lived, almost everything else was left alone.

Earth Wolf Valley wasn't actually a Transcendent sect, because the primary element of a Transcendent sect was recruiting disciples to expand its power.

Earth Wolf Valley was similar to the Serrated Society; in reality, it only had a few members and was an organization similar to a Rogue Wizard assembly, where Rogue Wizards huddled together for warmth.

However, Transcendents also had family, relatives, and friends, so sometimes scenes of many people gathered together might appear.

Among such Rogue Wizard organizations, Earth Wolf Valley was relatively large, with about a dozen people in total.

The strongest person in Earth Wolf Valley was a Fifth-Order Wizard, and there were also two Fourth-Order Wizards and some Transcendents below the Third-Order.

Because they had a Fifth-Order Wizard presiding over them, general Transcendent powers didn't dare to provoke them.
