411: Chapter 411 Jinling Spirit Hunting Array

The Demon Wizard turned his attention to the large crater on the ground, where Nie Ning lay, his armor shattered and looking extremely weak.

At that very instant, the Demon Wizard suddenly detected a faint spatial fluctuation.

The Demon Wizard realized something, but at that moment, a white blade of light appeared out of thin air before him.

The white blade of light was incredibly sharp, and at the moment the Demon Wizard was least vigilant, it sliced open the Flame Giant's chest and slashed toward the Demon Wizard.

Although the Demon Wizard reacted very quickly, he could not completely evade the sudden blade of light.

In a split second, the Demon Wizard only had time to dodge with his head; the area from his left shoulder to his chest was torn open by the blade of light, and he was sent flying backward.

Feeling the violent energy fluctuations coming from behind, the Demon Wizard forced himself to endure his injuries and erected a blood-colored barrier on his body.

"Bang!"

The blade of light, having not flown far, exploded, and the terrifying energy impact engulfed the Demon Wizard.

When the dust and smoke dissipated, the figure of the Demon Wizard gradually revealed itself.

By now, the Demon Wizard's left shoulder was gone, his entire left face was blown beyond recognition, and one could even see his exposed teeth.

His back was charred black as if scorched by fire.

The Demon Wizard's expression was incredibly ugly as he cast a vicious gaze toward where Nie Ning had been.

However, Nie Ning, who had been there just a moment ago, had disappeared, replaced by a splayed, human-shaped indentation.

"You brat, you cannot escape!"

The Demon Wizard roared, his powerful Spiritual Power sweeping across the surroundings.

At the same time, a blood-colored formation manifested beneath his feet, and his body began to regenerate rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, while using this powerful wizardry, the Demon Wizard's aura also declined accordingly.

After all, he was only a Tier 5 Transcendent; many of his methods required a price, and the spell he was currently using would consume several months of his lifespan.

Although his lifespan was not short, being beaten into such a state by a brat made him feel extremely humiliated.

Soon, the Demon Wizard noticed something and immediately turned to look at a cloud in the distance.

"I told you that you cannot escape!"

The Demon Wizard didn't even wait for his body to fully recover before transforming into a streak of blood-colored shadow in his fury, fleeing toward the distant cloud.

In a few moments, the Demon Wizard had arrived near the blood cloud where Nie Ning was hiding.

However, a strange energy fluctuation caught the Demon Wizard's attention.

Recalling the earlier attack, the Demon Wizard instantly became vigilant.

At least judging by the kid's performance, he hadn't fled immediately when he had such a good opportunity, but instead hid nearby.

He did not believe that Nie Ning, as a wizard, would fail to account for his powerful Spiritual Power.

Even anyone with a shred of intelligence would never underestimate a former eighth-order wizard.

Thinking of this, the Demon Wizard's magic power surged within him, preparing to split the blood cloud to see what the kid was up to.

But at that very instant, several golden chains shot out from the blood cloud, firmly binding the Demon Wizard.

The power of the golden chains was immense, dragging the Demon Wizard toward the blood cloud.

The Demon Wizard's energy erupted from within, the powerful energy causing cracks to spread across the surface of the golden chains, while also blowing away the blood cloud in front of him, revealing a massive golden formation.

And near the formation, Nie Ning stood within it, while four god-forbidden rings floated in the other four directions.

A continuous stream of energy flowed from Nie Ning and the god-forbidden rings, subsequently injecting into the golden formation.

Jinling Soul-Hunting Formation!

It was the very formation that Jonnamon of the Serrated Society had used to ambush him back then.

Of course, this version of his was weakened.

After all, he was casting purely with magic power, using himself as the energy medium, which could almost be considered using no formation-setting tools at all.

Without the support of an Elemental Pool, being able to cast it was already extremely difficult.

However, he had received a major boost this time, and his own strength had undergone a qualitative change, so compared to the fourth-order Jonnamon back then, he could be considered to have indirectly strengthened this formation.

At least in terms of power, an average Tier 5 Transcendent should not be able to withstand it.

It was also thanks to the god-forbidden rings being connected to his mind that, even though he was not proficient in the skill of multitasking, he was still able to independently cast such a large-scale spell.

The only drawback was that the activation was a bit slow.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to play these little tricks on the Demon Wizard; he would have just gone for it directly.

...

Seeing that the Demon Wizard was about to break free, Nie Ning could not help but increase his magic power output.

Before the chains on the Demon Wizard could break, a large number of golden chains took the opportunity to surge forward, binding the Demon Wizard tightly.

"You cannot kill me! If you let me go now, I might still spare your life!"

Seeing that he could not break free for the time being, the Demon Wizard realized what was coming next and roared loudly at Nie Ning.

Of course, it is better to rely on oneself than others; he only shouted twice to stall for time.

Because at this level, being ruthless is just a standard trait; unless Nie Ning had hemorrhoids in his brain, he would never let him go.

"Relax, I didn't even want to kill you; why are you so anxious?"

Nie Ning said this, but the magic power within him did not stop surging toward the formation.

However, he was not lying; he truly did not expect this formation to kill the Demon Wizard.

Judging by the strength the opponent used when grabbing his arm earlier, he had already judged how strong the opponent's vitality was.

Not to mention the various secret techniques possessed by a former eighth-order wizard.

And what he needed to do was very simple: he only needed to severely injure the opponent, which would also allow him to prepare for fleeing afterward.

At this moment, the drawback of this formation became apparent: it could not immediately release the ultimate killing move of the Jinling Soul-Hunting Formation.

While the two were talking, the Demon Wizard had already been dragged to the center of the formation.

In the sky, the golden formation flickered, its massive energy causing even space to distort.

"Are you sure you want to push me this far?"

Seeing this, the Demon Wizard looked at Nie Ning and asked in a deep voice.

"If you hadn't pushed me, would I be like this?"

Nie Ning curled his lips, and without waiting for the Demon Wizard to speak, he continued: "Don't worry, I'll gather some people and come back to destroy you later."

"So, for now, you should just lie here properly."

Without giving the Demon Wizard a chance to cheat, before the energy of the Jinling Soul-Hunting Formation reached its peak, Nie Ning directly activated the formation.

Golden lightning gathered in the center of the formation, subsequently transforming into a thick golden giant python.

Under the control of Nie Ning's Spiritual Power, the golden giant python fell vertically like lightning, striking the Demon Wizard directly before rushing toward the ground.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion rang out.

In an instant, the earth crumbled and collapsed, and a golden wave of energy spread out to the surroundings.

Nie Ning didn't even wait for the result; he took one look at the scarred and devastated earth, his internal energy erupted instantly, and he suddenly accelerated, rushing toward the direction of the portal.

After all, if even he could handle this formation back then, there was no reason for the opponent to die here, so running away was the most correct choice.
