419: Chapter 419 On the Verge of Death

Watching Nie Ning, whose body was still continuously recovering, the knight was struck by the tenacity of the other's life force, which simply defied all logic.

If one were to speak of it, perhaps only a Corruptor could reach such a level.

After all, this looked nothing like a normal person; a normal person would have died eight hundred times over by now.

Yet this guy was not only still alive, but even showing signs of recovery.

As expected of a Psionicist; among the Psionicists he had seen, this ability was simply outrageous.

With high defense and health, plus the ability to drain life, he was almost at the pinnacle among those of the same rank; perhaps if he were any stronger, even the knight might not be able to defeat him.

However, because the 'Life Force' in the surrounding area had been mostly absorbed, Nie Ning's recovery ability had shown a significant weakening.

Gazing at the 'dying' Nie Ning, the knight gripped the shaft of his spear with one hand, and surging battle energy poured into Nie Ning's body.

Nie Ning's body tissue was destroyed, and he almost cried out in pain.

The knight's gaze returned to Nie Ning, and with just a reach and a pull, the xueyan bladeless arrived in his hand.

The xueyan bladeless felt light in his hand, and the galaxy swirled within the translucent blade, looking quite beautiful.

A flash of joy crossed the knight's eyes.

In terms of this design alone, it was still very appealing.

However, it was not too rare.

Because this world possessed all kinds of rare materials, and some were brought back from the outside world.

The use of various materials had led to the forging of all kinds of equipment and mystic tools.

Let alone a galaxy design, even a sun design could be made, so the appearance of equipment was secondary; the primary factor was the strength boost it provided.

Thinking of this, the knight impatiently injected his battle energy into the blade.

But a strange thing happened: the battle energy was like a stone sinking into the sea, while the long blade showed no reaction at all.

The knight frowned and examined the blade carefully; how could he not be able to use it?

He had seen Nie Ning use it quite normally, and since his own strength was greater, logically speaking, he should have been able to wield it easily.

Not only that, as the battle energy was continuously injected, the stars on the blade began to dim until they disappeared, as if this long blade were about to die.

The knight hurriedly stopped his actions, for he could see the extraordinariness of this long blade and did not want to destroy it due to his own negligence.

"Can't store it?"

The knight was somewhat surprised; this blade could not even be stored in his spatial ring.

"Without... without special techniques, you cannot use it."

Nie Ning raised his blood-stained face, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"It doesn't matter. I'll take you back and interrogate you slowly; one day, you will talk."

The knight looked at Nie Ning expressionlessly and replied indifferently.

Besides, Nie Ning's research value was very high; selling him to other mages should fetch a good price, perhaps enough for him to replace his entire set of equipment.

Having said that, the knight withdrew his spear, and Nie Ning fell to the ground like a pile of mud.

At this moment, because of his severe injuries, Nie Ning was weak to the extreme.

If he hadn't consumed a large amount of medicinal pills and rare treasures beforehand, he probably wouldn't even be able to maintain the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings right now.

But even so, the excessive consumption of Spiritual Power had already made him unable to maintain the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings for much longer.

The knight walked up to Nie Ning, pinched Nie Ning's shoulder with his hand, and lifted him up from the ground.

"Come with me."

At this moment, Nie Ning suddenly said something inexplicably.

The knight frowned slightly but did not pay too much attention to it.

Even if Nie Ning had a myriad of methods, he could hardly turn the tide in the face of absolute suppression of strength.

But suddenly, Nie Ning raised his hand and grabbed at the knight's head.

Facing the injured Nie Ning, the knight only thought it was a desperate final strike, or perhaps he just wanted to disgust him, so he merely turned his head to avoid Nie Ning's hand.

Nie Ning's hand rested on the knight's shoulder, and a mysterious force suddenly injected into the knight's body.

Before the knight could even think, he saw Nie Ning's arm, and even the left half of his body, begin to turn black and dissipate into ashes.

Without a place to hold onto, Nie Ning's body fell to the ground.

It was too late when the knight realized something was wrong; the same problem appeared on the parts that Nie Ning had touched.

"What is this!"

The knight looked at his own dissipating palm in horror.

That energy seemed invincible; his Tier 6 battle energy had no way to expel it, and immediately after, his shoulder and the palm that had been holding Nie Ning collapsed and disappeared.

However, he was a Tier 6 after all, so naturally, he would not die so easily.

Moreover, because Nie Ning could not control the power of chaos, he was unable to inject too much of it, or rather, the power of chaos would dissipate rapidly once it left his body.

Therefore, the knight only paid the price of one hand and a sunken shoulder, and was not in life-threatening danger.

The knight looked at Nie Ning on the ground with an ugly expression, not expecting that he would capsize in the gutter at such a time.

Thinking of this, the knight couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Fortunately, he had a germaphobia and hadn't let Nie Ning touch his head; otherwise, one could imagine what would have happened.

Nie Ning on the ground showed a look of regret in his eyes; in the end, he still couldn't survive...

In fact, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about using it earlier.

But the problem was that it was even harder to touch someone in a normal battle, because this often meant a signal of danger, and others would simply not give him such an opportunity.

Of course, it was mainly because the knight was too strong.

The limitations of the power of chaos were too great; it could almost not leave his body at all.

He didn't need this suicidal method to fight those with lower strength, and it wouldn't have much effect on those with higher strength; in short, it was very awkward.

The knight looked at his missing palm, then looked down at Nie Ning, who was like a dead dog on the ground, a look of malice appearing in his eyes.

"Since you want to die, then I will grant your wish!"

Having said that, the knight slowly raised the xueyan bladeless expressionlessly.

Although it was a pity that he couldn't use this blade, it wasn't absolutely necessary to use it; taking it back as a collection was also a good choice.

The knight slashed fiercely at Nie Ning's head, the powerful force creating a whistling sound with bursts of strong wind.

Just at this moment, the knight's expression suddenly changed.

Before he could turn back to defend, a powerful force struck his back, knocking him flying directly until he stopped only after sinking into the rock wall.

The knight struggled to prop himself up, unable to stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Turning around to look, a beautiful figure had already arrived beside the dying Nie Ning.

"Are you alright?"

Amivika lifted Nie Ning up with a look of concern.

Nie Ning rolled his eyes; did he look like he was alright?

Unfortunately, he was already too weak, so weak that he was too lazy to argue this point with Amivika.

Amivika took out a vial of potion and let Nie Ning drink it, and vigorous life energy circulated within Nie Ning's body, restoring some vitality to his dying frame.

It was just that the rash use of the power of chaos earlier had caused his left shoulder and the area touching his internal organs to have already disappeared.

And the weak Spiritual Power made him unable to maintain the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings, and the weak life energy he absorbed was simply unable to satisfy his needs.
