403: Chapter 403 The Gap in Strength

"If you possess the Soul-Eater Demon bloodline, then how were you sealed here?" Nie Ning continued to ask.

In reality, he was just stalling for time, hoping that the High-level Wizard from Yishi Mansion could quickly resolve this massive problem.

After all, although the opponent appeared to be a Tier 5 Transcendent, that was definitely a disguise; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived for such a long time.

However, he was indeed very curious.

Because according to rumors, the Soul-Eater Demon could consume all forms of energy, and even most array restrictions could not guard against it.

Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, the young man smiled: "Actually, it wasn't really them sealing me, but rather me voluntarily sealing myself here."

Nie Ning raised an eyebrow slightly. Someone voluntarily sealing themselves?

No wonder others said that Demon Wizards were not right in the head; it seemed this guy was also someone influenced by the Abyssal Will.

And this could be considered one of the drawbacks of the Demon bloodline.

The more powerful the Demon bloodline, the easier it was to be led astray by the Abyssal Will, which had a similar effect to the Power of Corruption.

Before Nie Ning could ask, the young man continued.

"As a Bloodline Wizard, you should know the influence bloodline has on us."

"The concentration of my Soul-Eater Demon bloodline is too low; even though it has reached the eighth order, I have never been able to break through the ninth-order barrier."

"For this reason, I deliberately devoured the people of an entire city to lure those Transcendent forces into taking action, so I could devour them and use their power to purify my bloodline."

At this moment, a look of embarrassment appeared on the young man's face.

"You saw it, right? I just messed up, which led to me being sealed here by them."

"However, it can be considered a blessing in disguise. Although my strength has regressed quite a bit, with the help of the array's power, my bloodline has been purified to an extreme level."

"For example..."

As the young man spoke, he suddenly flicked his finger towards Nie Ning.

A bloodline shot towards Nie Ning. Before Nie Ning could even react, his wrist had already been pierced through by the bloodline, and the bottle containing the white powder in his hand fell.

The young man smiled slightly: "I can feel that you are strong, but obviously, I am stronger."

While speaking, the dark red Demon flames had already burned the bottle and the powder inside.

A trace of gloom flashed in Nie Ning's eyes.

This guy's perception was truly too sensitive; he could actually detect such a tiny movement.

What was worse was that it was one of his few remaining trump cards, a bottle of improved Kapok Bone-Eating Powder.

If used well, it would definitely be a major trump card.

What a pity...

"You have the scent of an old friend on you. It seems you are the person he found to let me out."

The young man said with a smile.

"Since that's the case, I have some other business to attend to, so I'll be going first. Let's chat next time."

Nie Ning put on a fawning smile, took the opportunity to step down, and turned around to slip away.

But just as he turned to leave, he caught a glimpse of red in the corner of his eye, and immediately after, the young man appeared in front of him again.

"Although I really want to keep you, unfortunately, I urgently need to devour energy to restore my strength; otherwise, I won't be able to deal with those people outside in my current state."

The young man's face revealed a cold look again: "Besides, I have already let you live for a long time; you should feel satisfied, right?"

As his voice fell, the young man reached out towards Nie Ning, and suddenly a blood-colored eagle claw appeared out of thin air, grabbing at Nie Ning.

Nie Ning was quick-witted and drew the long blade from his waist, unleashing a Wind-Thunder Blade.

But the opponent's strength was simply beyond his imagination; his full-power Wind-Thunder Blade only managed to split open a small opening in the blood-colored eagle claw.

Immediately after, the blood-colored eagle claw swiped lightly, and Nie Ning spat out blood as he plummeted towards the hill below, smashing a large crater into the entire hilltop.

The young man looked at his left hand with some surprise; a bloodline had appeared on it.

Seeing this, the young man was a bit surprised and couldn't help but look down at the xueyan bladeless in Nie Ning's hand.

Nie Ning used his long blade to support himself on the ground and forced himself to stand up.

Strong!

Simply too strong.

Even more monstrous than those top-tier Tier 5 Transcendent he had seen before.

After all, if it were someone else, Nie Ning would still have the confidence to hold on for a bit.

But facing the Demon Wizard in front of him, the gap between the two was truly a bit large; they were simply not on the same level.

However, not struggling meant only death, so even if he didn't want to face it, he had to keep fighting.

Nie Ning's magic power surged within him; he had to at least drag it out until the reinforcements from Yishi Mansion arrived, perhaps then there would be a glimmer of hope.

"Don't make meaningless struggles. For the sake of you keeping me company, I can promise not to devour your soul."

Seeing Nie Ning still wanted to resist, the young man couldn't help but sigh.

It was a pity that he had less than one percent of his strength left, otherwise, he wouldn't mind letting Nie Ning go.

However...

What if this was a gift from an old friend?

Although this fool with a little bit of cunning didn't look like it...

Suddenly, the young man frowned.

He turned his gaze to the surroundings; it was as if a breeze blew past, and the surrounding clouds and mist began to move slowly towards the bottom.

Seeing this, the young man looked down at Nie Ning.

He saw Nie Ning slowly straighten his body, the tear on his wrist healing at a speed visible to the naked eye; in the span of a breath, Nie Ning had already recovered.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is truly rare, what strong recovery ability."

A look of surprise appeared on the young man's face.

One must know that injuries caused by someone of the same level are often difficult to heal.

Not to mention that he was currently at a higher level than Nie Ning, and even possessed power that did not belong to this stage, as well as special Demon power of the abyss.

In normal circumstances, it would probably take at least a week to heal, and it would be normal to have lasting aftereffects.

Nie Ning looked up at the young man, his cold eyes mixed with a trace of pain.

Forbidden Domain of Living Beings!

Although this skill allowed his vitality to become even more tenacious than a cockroach, absorbing excessive external energy for a long time placed a huge burden on his body.

The biggest problem was still the Abyssal Power in the surroundings.

The Forbidden Domain of Living Beings had a relatively low conversion efficiency for this kind of special energy, and his Supernatural Adaptability could not adapt to large amounts of Abyssal Power too quickly.

"I have to say, you do have some tricks, but you're still a bit lacking if you want to deal with me."

Seeing Nie Ning pretending to be strong, the young man sneered and said.

Nie Ning frowned slightly, his heart secretly shocked.

Because he discovered that the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings actually couldn't affect the opponent!

Although he had used this skill very few times, and had even almost forgotten it, the indiscriminate attack mode of this skill was still fresh in his memory.

And the area around the opponent's body seemed to be protected by a barrier, and the energy absorbed by the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings would bypass it.

'As expected of a former eighth-order, his methods are indeed formidable!'

Seeming to have read Nie Ning's gaze, the young man smiled slightly: "While there is time, let me play with you."
