349: Chapter 349 Forcing Through the Barrier

Nie Ning landed slowly on a large tree, sniffed the air, and couldn't help but frown.

"Why are there fewer people?"

Although this area blocked Spiritual Power probes, one could still use Transcendent smell to distinguish the approximate number of people.

At this moment, a small green fox jumped from a branch to Nie Ning's side.

"I don't know. I just saw a Fourth-Order Knight return and then leave with a large group of high-level Transcendents."

Xiao Guang said through telepathy while licking her fur.

"A Knight?"

Nie Ning was slightly taken aback.

Could it be Jerry?

Under Xiao Guang's description, Nie Ning also learned the other party's appearance; it was indeed Jerry.

No wonder he hadn't seen Jerry earlier. He thought Jerry wouldn't retaliate, but it turned out he went back to call for reinforcements.

He probably thought he was still in the auction house, so he came back to call people to prepare for an ambush.

But this was just right; it weakened the armed forces here, making things much simpler.

Nie Ning smiled knowingly: "It seems luck is on our side."

He originally thought this would be a fierce battle, but now it seemed...

The situation was unexpectedly good.

Without a large group of Transcendents in the way, the remaining tasks became much simpler for them.

At this time, Nie Ning's face kept changing, turning directly into Black Cat Detective.

Beside him, Xiao Guang stood up, returning to her human form while her face turned into that of an ordinary-looking woman.

After all, Xiao Guang was a rare Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox. There probably wasn't a second such exotic beast in this area. If she moved in her original form, she would easily be targeted by those with ill intentions.

After everything was ready, Nie Ning took Xiao Guang and detoured to the back of the manor.

But after just a few steps, an invisible barrier blocked the two of them, while also triggering the alarm in the manor.

"Who are you! Why have you come here!"

A wizard rose into the air, questioning Nie Ning and the others loudly.

"Guests, of course."

Nie Ning smiled slightly, slowly extended his right hand, and lightly tapped the transparent barrier in front of him with his fingertip.

Earth-Splitting Force!

A layer of ripples spread from his fingertip in all directions.

The barrier emitted a white light, clearly having been fully activated.

"Do you know what you are doing! Do you want to offend our Bloom Family!"

Seeing this, the wizard rebuked sharply, seemingly trying to scare Nie Ning away.

Currently, only two Fourth-Order Wizards remained in the manor. If these people were to break in rashly, no one knew what would happen.

As for the barrier...

The opponent was clearly prepared; the barrier alone likely wouldn't stop them.

Nie Ning didn't speak. The god-forbidden ring on his wrist slowly turned, and majestic magic power was injected into the barrier through his finger.

The effect of Earth-Splitting Force was to disrupt the elemental arrangement, thereby achieving the effect of breaking magic.

This was something Nie Ning had discovered by chance; it was even useful against the Gale Spirit-Shrouding Array.

The one before him was a Fifth-Order Barrier Formation.

Probably because there were originally a large number of high-level Transcendents inside, the Bloom Family hadn't put too much effort into the defense.

The strength of the barrier was only at the level of an ordinary Fifth-Order one, and it was the kind available on the market. It happened that with Nie Ning's strength, he could break a gap in it.

Plus, he planned to finish the battle quickly, so he decided to use this most brutal method to carry out the operation.

Under the influence of Earth-Splitting Force, in just a short moment, an area of about two square meters turned into elemental particles.

Seeing the situation turn bad, the wizards in the manor hurriedly launched spell attacks at the two of them.

Nie Ning made an inviting gesture toward Xiao Guang.

Xiao Guang rolled her eyes at Nie Ning, then waved her hand to prop up a green barrier, walking in while withstanding the spells of the manor's wizards.

Nie Ning followed closely behind.

By the time the two entered, the barrier had returned to its original state.

At this time, another wizard flew into the sky, looking at the two intruders with a wary expression.

"I have already notified the other Transcendents. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly. Otherwise, when they return, you won't be able to escape even if you want to!"

"This bit of time is already enough."

Nie Ning snapped his fingers, and a large number of Ice Chains attacked from all directions.

The two manor wizards were only at the middle stage of the Fourth Order; they had no chance of winning against Nie Ning.

They could only focus on dodging attacks and then wait for an opportunity to launch attacks at Nie Ning and the other.

But Xiao Guang was already impatient. She only wanted to go back and sleep now and didn't want to play with the two at all.

Looking at the two like flies, spots of white light flashed under Xiao Guang's feet. Her figure suddenly vanished from the spot, and when she reappeared, she was already beside a wizard.

The wizard was shocked. He had just propped up a defensive barrier when it was shattered by a slap from Xiao Guang. Her fair palm slapped the manor wizard's face, knocking him down from the air.

Immediately after, countless Ice Chains attacked, binding the manor wizard tightly.

"Fifth-Order!"

Another person was startled.

Such speed definitely reached the Fifth Order!

Facing an exotic beast like Xiao Guang, who had a complete human form and an intact bloodline power, a Fourth-Order was no different from a toy in her hands.

Without even spending much time, the other Fourth-Order Wizard was subdued in an instant.

At this time, shouts and sounds of fighting came from within the manor.

In just a moment, the people in the manor were bound by Ice Chains and hung on a giant net made of Ice Chains.

Nie Ning had no intention of hurting these people.

The power of a Sixth-Order was beyond doubt. Killing the people here served no purpose; instead, it would completely infuriate the other party.

His goal was to obtain the nether spirit gold; there was no need to escalate the situation to an irredeemable point.

"Release us quickly! Offending our Bloom Family, it won't matter if you flee to the ends of the earth. I advise you to turn back early; there is still room to salvage this situation."

The captured Fourth-Order Wizard shouted loudly at Nie Ning.

In reality, he was just stalling for time. As long as he waited for Jerry to return with the family's Transcendents, even if the opponent had a Fifth-Order Transcendent, it would be useless.

Nie Ning waved his hand, and a layer of frost instantly sealed their mouths.

He wasn't out for a stroll; he didn't have time to bicker with these people.

Releasing his Spiritual Power to sense the surroundings, Nie Ning soon sensed an anomaly with the help of the Power of the Earth.

Because of the formations, Earth Control Skill was of little use here. Nie Ning could only use magic to blast a tunnel into the ground.

In just a few breaths, a huge black iron block appeared before Nie Ning's eyes.

Nie Ning tried to open it. It was unexpectedly hard and protected by formations; the other party's defensive measures were better than he had imagined.

Although he could still use high-power magic to break it open, the creator of the nether spirit gold was just an ordinary person.

If the other party was inside, they would probably be shaken to death.

For such a talent, doing so would clearly be a waste.
