423: Chapter 423 The Invincible Dried Bear Head Descends!

Hearing this, Nie Ning gave a sheepish laugh.

"How could that be? I was just afraid you'd be reluctant to leave this place."

Having his little scheme seen through, Nie Ning couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

And the biggest problem was that he had always been good to those who helped him.

Not only had Amivika saved him this time, but the two of them had also done 'that' thing.

If Amivika didn't take the initiative to say she wanted to stay, Nie Ning really wouldn't have the heart to just cast her aside.

Moreover, although Amivika was a bit of a jinx, compared to the people from his past life, she could at least be considered a virtuous wife and a good mother.

He had also gained tangible benefits from Amivika.

As for Amivika's heaven-defying setting, 'when a person dies, the lamp goes out; my fate is determined by me, not by heaven,' it could only mean that his own luck was bad, and it had nothing to do with anyone else...

Suddenly, Nie Ning's expression changed.

'Perhaps it does have something to do with it...'

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Nie Ning's expression was off, Amivika asked with a slight frown.

Now that they were able to leave, could it be that the injuries on Nie Ning's body had flared up?

Nie Ning didn't speak, but instead raised his arm.

His palm, covered in shattered black crystals, was bulging with small black blisters.

As the blisters burst, a thick Power of Corruption radiated from them, and Nie Ning's body once again showed signs of Corruption.

"Your hand..."

Before Amivika could finish, a terrifying demonic aura surged forth.

Everyone present couldn't help but be startled, and Nie Ning and the other also instinctively looked up.

They saw several figures rushing out from the star-ring Teleportation Array above.

Looking closely, it was those few top-tier fifth-rank Transcendents from the secret realm.

However, at this moment, they looked panicked, as if there was something terrifying behind them.

Seeing this, Nie Ning knew that the Demon Wizard had come out.

Just as he had guessed, the possibility of someone at that level being killed by him was truly very small.

The chasm in cultivation realm was too vast; ordinary people could not possibly defeat such an old monster.

Not to mention him, even for a super wizard among the fifth-rank like Amivika, the probability of killing the Demon Wizard wouldn't be very high either.

After all, in terms of knowledge reserves, power application, and Artistic Conception, the Demon Wizard was in a crushing position; why would anyone below his rank be able to defeat him?

Sure enough, a blood-colored shadow shrouded the sky, and at the same time, a freak with dark red skin rushed out of the star-ring Teleportation Array.

But unlike what everyone had expected, the dark red freak's expression was extremely ugly.

He had no intention of showing off; the first thing he did upon exiting the Teleportation Array was to flee into the distance.

Moreover, everyone could feel that the Demon Wizard's aura was constantly dropping, but his speed was becoming faster and faster, clearly in a posture of burning his origin power to escape.

"What's wrong!"

One of the Black-Robed Persons besieging the Yishi Mansion shouted at the Demon Wizard.

They were here to save the Demon Wizard, and they weren't at a disadvantage; why did he look at them as if he had seen a ghost?

"Run!"

The Demon Wizard didn't say another word, and even increased his escape speed by a few notches.

Before the Black-Robed Person could continue asking, an ominous aura appeared from within the star-ring Teleportation Array.

Even the old witch who had already fallen into Qi Deviation stopped, her eyes clearing up a bit.

In an instant, a large amount of black water surged out from the star-ring Teleportation Array, sweeping across the surroundings in an overwhelming manner.

Wherever the Black Tide passed, everything was corroded and devoured completely.

Even a Transcendent with sixth-rank strength only struggled in the Black Tide for a few breaths before disappearing.

Seeing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

At this moment, Amivika suddenly felt a violent fluctuation in Spiritual Power.

She turned to look at Nie Ning: "Your face..."

At this time, Nie Ning's face was already shrouded in gray mist, and bubbles were constantly bulging on his black armor.

Whenever the bubbles burst, a large amount of the Power of Corruption surged out.

"Ugh~"

Nie Ning's Spiritual Power shook violently, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood.

The black blood dripped onto the ground, and as if it had a life of its own, it kept squirming and crawling on the ground.

"Something big has happened!"

Nie Ning's expression was even uglier than the Demon Wizard's.

"What's wrong? Why have you suddenly become like this?"

Looking at the Power of Corruption that had already taken control of Nie Ning's body, Amivika asked hurriedly.

"I'm just a small problem, but the Yishi Mansion probably can't be saved. A powerful Corruptor has appeared, we must leave here immediately!"

Nie Ning looked at the black water in the sky with a solemn expression.

That was nothing else, but the Black Tide controlled by the Jerky Bear Head!

The reason he showed signs of Corruption was because the severed Spiritual Power link had suddenly reconnected, and a large amount of the Power of Corruption had invaded his body along the Spiritual Power link.

This wasn't even the worst part; the worst part was that the Power of Corruption was too powerful, forcing him to forcibly sever the Spiritual Power link.

In other words, the Jerky Bear Head was now free!

Nie Ning felt that he might never be able to contract it back in his entire life.

Moreover, if the people here couldn't solve the Jerky Bear Head, Nie Ning dared not imagine what kind of hell on earth would emerge.

After all, that guy had mastered quite a few heaven-defying abilities; just the Black Tide alone could allow the Jerky Bear Head to grow rapidly.

It had also mastered the Shadow Shuttle ability; I'm afraid it would be very difficult to catch it.

It wasn't like when he was carrying it; when the Jerky Bear Head used it alone, there was no cooldown, and the land covered by shadows was the Jerky Bear Head's domain.

"Quick! Close the Teleportation Array!"

At this moment, a seventh-rank powerhouse from the Yishi Mansion suddenly shouted.

Helian disengaged from the battlefield, immediately activated the Teleportation Array, and the star-ring in the sky began to close slowly.

But just when everyone thought it was over, and even Nie Ning thought the Jerky Bear Head would be trapped in the secret realm, a shriveled, thin body, like withered firewood, got stuck in the spatial rift.

Immediately after, something like a bubble began to squeeze the spatial rift.

"Go, go, go, let's run quickly."

Nie Ning hurriedly urged Amivika.

It was simply too terrifying.

If they stayed to watch the show for a while longer, they probably wouldn't be able to leave at all.

Because he was the only one here who knew just how invincible the Jerky Bear Head was.

Black Tide, Water-Wood Control, Blade of Corrosion, Shadow Shuttle, and Energy Devouring.

Except for Water-Wood Control, which was quite lackluster, any one of these abilities was incredibly powerful when taken alone, and even more so for a Corruptor that had grown up.

Amivika did not delay; she picked up Nie Ning and quickly jumped down from the tree hole.

In an instant, the two arrived in a narrow and dark room.

As Amivika activated the Teleportation Array, the array on the ground lit up with white light.

Seeing this scene, Nie Ning was finally a little relieved.

Because compared to facing the Dried Meat Bear, Nie Ning would rather go up against the Demon Wizard.

But after waiting for a moment, Nie Ning discovered there was no movement.

He looked up at Amivika, whose beautiful face wore a look of gloom.

"It doesn't work!"
