425: Chapter 425 Soul Bone King

Nie Ning was completely stunned for a moment.

A group of Transcendents stared at Nie Ning with burning gazes, as if they would tear him apart the moment he made a move.

"Tell us where you saw him."

Wizard Belen waved his hand at the group of Transcendents and then asked with a solemn expression.

Although Nie Ning's background was unknown, they had investigated him and found that he had not done anything too outrageous in Blood Rainbow City.

He usually stayed indoors, having mastered the refining method for a certain transcendent artifact; he was clearly just a homebody Wizard with a bit of cleverness.

Nie Ning had no choice but to recount the entire process to those present.

After hearing Nie Ning's account, Wizard Belen frowned.

Because at the time Nie Ning mentioned, he was indeed in Blood Rainbow City, and it was he who had stopped those people from fighting over the transcendent artifact.

After all, being on his own turf, such large-scale looting of transcendent artifacts would ruin the reputation of Yishi Mansion.

Wizard Belen's expression was solemn as he spat out three words: "Soul Bone King!"

Unlike conventional Wizards, the Soul Bone King was a Wizard proficient in soul-based witchcraft, and specializing in Spiritual Power was very rare among Wizards.

And what the other party excelled at most was manipulating the human heart, using his witchcraft to influence the emotions of others.

If it were the Soul Bone King, it would indeed be difficult to spot any flaws when he bewitched a single person.

Of course, there were still flaws, and they were obvious enough to be seen directly.

"You kid..."

Wizard Belen didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was quite famous in this area, you know! This kid actually didn't know what he looked like!

Upon hearing this, the others all remained silent, looking toward the corner in unison.

A person wearing a gray robe had their back to the crowd.

Seemingly sensing the gazes of the crowd, the gray-robed person turned around, revealing a young face around thirty years old.

The gray-robed person gave a dry laugh: "Just for fun, everyone had nothing to do anyway."

"Just for fun? So many people died, and you're telling me it's just for fun?"

A Tier 7 Transcendent from Yishi Mansion stepped out and angrily rebuked the gray-robed person.

Seeing this, Nie Ning instantly realized that the other party was the so-called Soul Bone King!

In an instant, Nie Ning's eyes changed, and a chill flashed in the depths of his gaze.

In that case, everything made sense.

This guy had been deliberately approaching him all along, just to find an opportunity to make him release that Demon Wizard!

And thinking about it carefully, he had indeed never seen the other party appear together with Amelia, and Amelia had never mentioned Wizard Belen either.

As for why he chose him...

The probability of someone who could refine a transcendent artifact entering Yishi Mansion was certainly higher than others.

With a little maneuvering, tricking him into joining Yishi Mansion was not a problem.

He himself had quite a favorable impression of Yishi Mansion, and coupled with the fact that the other party had been helping to create Artificial Spirits during that time, he hadn't even considered this possibility.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the barrier was somewhat eerie, with both sides entering a standoff, both looking ready to make the other pay.

Just as they were about to make a move, the barrier suddenly flickered, and the ground began to tremble.

"Now is not the time to talk about this; let's figure out how to leave."

Wizard Belen still had his wits about him and immediately stopped the group of Transcendents who were about to start a fight.

The people from Yishi Mansion looked extremely grim, glared fiercely at the other side, but ultimately chose not to act.

Facing the Corruptor outside, their chances of winning were already low; if they were both left battered and bruised, it was likely that none of them would make it out.

"This Corruptor was brought in by you, so you should know his weaknesses, right?"

Helian turned his head to look at Nie Ning in the corner and asked.

Although he didn't like exposing others' secrets, this was no longer a matter of hiding things; whether they could get out alive was what mattered most.

Feeling the unfriendly gazes of the crowd, Nie Ning felt his scalp tingle.

What should he say?

"That my Corruptor is invincible, so why don't we all just give up and lie flat?"

After all, since these people couldn't escape in the beginning, the strength of Jerky Bear Head was already evident.

Now trapped inside the barrier, the possibility of escaping was truly very low.

Or perhaps if he hadn't severed the spiritual link earlier, he might have been able to use other methods to suppress the Corruptor.

"Um, it's not too powerful, it just controls water and earth..."

Before Nie Ning could finish his sentence, everyone else frowned.

Although it did look like water control, this black water seemed a bit too powerful, didn't it?

"As long as we come up with a plan, it's not impossible to deal with."

Wizard Belen stroked his beard and said.

"It can also use Shadow Shuttle..."

Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Nie Ning continued.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned a bit uglier.

"It can also absorb energy..."

As Nie Ning's voice faded, even the usually good-tempered Wizard Belen couldn't help but flick Nie Ning on the forehead.

"Can you stop pausing so dramatically when you speak!"

And the Transcendents present all narrowed their eyes, their gazes carrying a hint of coldness.

At the same time, they were a bit confused as to where Nie Ning had gotten a Corruptor with such multiple special abilities.

You have to know, normal Corruptors only have one ability.

Because while a normal person's talents might differ, the Power of Corruption could forcibly fuse them into one, which was also the reason why the Corruptor's abilities were so strange.

It was equivalent to a person originally having a strength talent and a fire talent; then the Corruptor's punch attacks would directly have fire added to them.

Although it looked no different, in reality, this fusion ability had already undergone a qualitative change, possessing astonishing destructive power.

"And then there's that black tide that devours everything, and a Blade of Corrosion capable of corroding most living beings."

Nie Ning covered his head and finished speaking quickly.

Other than the devouring, he couldn't care about that much anymore; hiding things at a time like this would be a stupid move.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

Proficient in so many special abilities—is this really something they can deal with?

What was worse, there were only a few hundred people left here, and most were either trapped or devoured; the Corruptor's strength had increased to an indescribable level.

The Corruptor's own rapid growth, combined with several abilities that sounded very powerful, left them not knowing what to do to escape.

"Water control and the black tide mentioned above aren't the same thing?"

Someone discovered a blind spot and asked in disbelief.

"That's for sure, otherwise why would I mention them separately?"

Nie Ning curled his lip and said with a displeased expression.

"You brat, what kind of attitude is that? Do you believe..."

The Tier 7 black-robed Wizard who was retorted against was furious, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Nie Ning.

Nie Ning puffed out his chest with a punchable look on his face: "Come on, come hit me."

"Threatening me, it's hilarious. Asking if I believe you—do you believe that you won't survive this time?"
