396: Chapter 396 Everyone Avoids the Sight

Watching the white pillars of light constantly descending from the sky to retrieve the wounded, Nie Ning was momentarily speechless.

There was no helping it; there were simply too many powerhouses present.

Mighty Bloodline Wizards, Transcendent wizards who had mastered Artistic Conception, assassins possessing high-tier mystic tools, bull-headed knights with high defense and health, and strong individuals who had mastered various special secret arts were everywhere.

Forget about going up to join in the fun; getting a couple of heavy slaps to the face would be more like it.

'If I had known, I would have brought Amivika along.'

Nie Ning felt a secret pang of regret in his heart.

In reality, it was still his damned pride at work.

After all, the two of them had only gotten together in the last few days, and it didn't even count as being on very good terms—he was the one who had been forced into it, after all; it would be strange if things were good between them.

So, when Amivika said she wouldn't come in, Nie Ning naturally couldn't say much.

However, even if she had come in, facing a siege by so many top-tier Tier 5 Transcendent, the situation likely wouldn't have been any better.

Not to mention there was a group of 'old foxes' who hadn't made a move yet, and those who weren't confident had already left—those who remained were definitely the type to be incredibly devious.

Just then, a group of people burst out from the clouds near Nie Ning.

Nie Ning looked closely and, 'Oh my,' it was actually some old acquaintances.

It was none other than Dalek, Blanche, and the others, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Why have you all only just arrived?"

Looking at their hurried demeanor, Nie Ning asked with some curiosity.

Although they were enemies, at least these people were relatively ethical; they hadn't even ambushed him along the way.

Blanche glared fiercely at Nie Ning, and the others looked at Nie Ning with equally displeased expressions.

In reality, they had indeed intended to ambush him; they had been prepared to forgo any treasures just to disgust Nie Ning while he was competing for them.

But who could have imagined that Nie Ning ran too fast? A moment of carelessness and they lost track of him, causing them to wander around the secret realm for ages.

Under these circumstances, Nie Ning was also bolder than they had imagined.

Originally, they had only come to try their luck, never expecting that this damned guy would actually dare to come here!

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you want to cooperate? I can take you to snatch the sky-walking tree fruit."

Nie Ning said with a playful grin.

Having had the experience from last time, Nie Ning felt these people should be quite easy to fool.

But Nie Ning clearly underestimated his ability to attract hatred; now, everyone wanted to finish Nie Ning off right then and there!

Previously, hindered by the rules of Yishi Mansion, they could only make a move when snatching heaven-sent treasures.

But things were different now.

Stepping into the range of the heavenly walk tree meant they had already been brought into the scope of this rule.

"Take him down!"

Dalek shouted loudly.

Without any hesitation, Blanche suddenly reached out and slapped, and a giant yellow hand descended from the sky.

Nie Ning was startled; the white wings on his back flapped, and he narrowly dodged the opponent's attack.

After thinking for a moment, the god-forbidden ring on Nie Ning's wrist flew out, preparing to leave this place of trouble first.

But as the god-forbidden ring expanded, Nie Ning felt the space become even more solidified, and the portal's opening speed was clearly much slower than before.

"I was already guarding against you!"

Dalek sneered, then immediately cast a spell, forming a white magic circle at Nie Ning's feet.

The moment the array formed, white threads wound toward Nie Ning.

Seeing this, a fire-red shield emerged, igniting on Nie Ning's body surface.

Light Break Impact!

The fire-red shield instantly exploded, and the resulting energy shock tore through the white threads along with the array, immediately followed by a casual Wind-Thunder Blade that forced Dalek back.

As for a character like Dalek, Nie Ning naturally didn't take him seriously.

Within the Fourth-order level, one couldn't say there were no people stronger than him, but they were definitely few and far between.

However, apart from Dalek and two other Fourth-order individuals, everyone else had Fifth-order strength, which was quite a challenge for him.

Nie Ning's mind raced. After dodging several attacks in succession, Nie Ning turned and rushed toward the surrounding 'old foxes'.

But the reason the 'old foxes' were called 'old foxes' was that they possessed insight far exceeding that of ordinary Transcendent.

Before Nie Ning could draw the fire over, the surrounding 'old foxes' had already foreseen Nie Ning's intentions and had long since fled.

Those who hadn't fled stared at Nie Ning with unkind eyes.

Their aura far exceeded that of ordinary Transcendent; they showed no sign of fearing Nie Ning, and even faintly carried a hint of threat.

Nie Ning hesitated for a moment, but ultimately turned and rushed toward the heavenly walk tree.

Now that the spatial restriction was in place, these 'old foxes' couldn't be relied upon. It would be difficult for him to outrun these Tier 5 Transcendent if he fled outward, so he could only head inward to look for an opportunity to shake them off.

However, Transcendent were not fools, and Nie Ning could be considered a celebrity here.

After all, the commotion caused by Lord Helian's divorce was not small, and Amivika had even quit Yishi Mansion.

Whether to recruit Amivika or just to eat some popular gossip, most people knew some of the inside story to some extent.

And upon learning that she had been abducted by this pretty boy Nie Ning, and that they had lived in Yishi Mansion for a few days without appearing, everyone had already labeled the two as a pair of scoundrels.

Of course, Helian also won the title of 'King of Cuckolds'.

Although they could only complain about it in their hearts...

As for Nie Ning, they were both annoyed by him and envious that he had managed to win the beauty's heart.

So, when Nie Ning was being hunted, they were more in a mood to watch the show, consciously making way one after another, waiting for Nie Ning to be cleared out.

Looking at the path cleared in front of him, Nie Ning was rendered speechless for a moment.

The key was that the heavenly walk tree was right ahead, but he could only look at it and was completely unable to open the barrier.

After all, this was a crystallization that had withstood the attacks of a crowd of top-tier Tier 5 Transcendent; even if he could use the method of Duoshengba High City, it would require time.

Regarding this, Nie Ning was very helpless.

However, the current situation only allowed him to take one step at a time, or hold on until he was out of the range of the heavenly walk tree, so that Blanche and the others couldn't easily lay a hand on him.

But facing the interception of several Tier 5 Transcendent, Nie Ning was under immense pressure.

And once he stopped, he would be met with a storm of attacks from several Transcendent.

If the xielin turtle shield from before was still there, perhaps he wouldn't be in such a sorry state, but unfortunately, the xielin turtle shield had been shattered at Iron Mountain Fortress.

Nie Ning flew while dodging attacks, thinking of a countermeasure.

After pondering for a moment, Nie Ning looked back, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes, preparing to deal a heavy blow to these people.

But just then, two Tier 5 Transcendent suddenly rushed out and blocked Blanche and the others.

Nie Ning's eyes showed surprise, and he couldn't help but look at the group of 'old foxes' on the periphery.

And these two people were none other than the two puppets who had started the fight earlier!

The curly-haired man smiled and waved at Nie Ning. Nie Ning could only return a look of gratitude, turned around, and fled toward the periphery.
