C657 Kill Nangong Jie
They looked at Ling Jian, trying to guess how strong he is now. It was also fortunate that Heavenly Dao Realm experts in the Ghost God Abyss were unable to enter. Otherwise... Even early Heaven Enlightenment Realm cultivators might be killed by Ling Jian in one go.
When they thought of this result, it undoubtedly made everyone's minds surge endlessly, feeling indescribably shocked.
The reason why the Tyrant Spear was able to make all the cultivators in the next eight days be extremely fearful of it, becoming the number one person in the younger generation was precisely because he was able to fight an early Heaven Enlightenment Realm cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path.
But now, Ling Jian displayed even more power. Fighting and killing were two completely different concepts and could not be generalized.
...
Just as the cultivators in the valley were guessing Ling Jian's strength, Nangong Jie, who was caught in the void above the valley, looked down at the valley with an extremely shocked expression.
He was not looking at Zhang Ling Er and the others who were still in good condition within the valley. Instead, he was looking at the huge pit that had appeared outside the valley with a solemn expression.
He didn't expect Ling Jian's attack to be so powerful that he could crush a beast at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path into nothingness with a single move. Although he hadn't felt much when looking at it from such a distance.
But now, from this angle, he had a different feeling.
Ling Jian did not pay attention to Nangong Jie's shocked expression at this moment. Instead, his eyes lit up slightly and immediately became fiery hot.
The might of the Ten Killing Halls did not disappoint him. Regardless of whether it was the overbearing destructive force that came crashing down... The power contained in the Ten Kills Palace itself made him feel a little excited about this old man who had been silent for a long time since he entered the Mixed Energy World.
The Ten Killings Hall was not divided into levels. The power it could unleash was also determined by its own cultivation base and the density of the natural spirit energy in the surroundings.
Previously, when he was in the sect world, because the natural spiritual energy of the Vast Expanse World was thin, he had been able to use the Ten Kills Palace's Ten Kills Palace's Ten Kills Palace's Ten Kills Palace's Ten Kills Palace's Ten Kills Palace's Ten Kills Palace's Ten Kills Palace's Ten Kills Palace. The Ten Killing Halls had yet to fully unleash their power, but it was different now. In a higher realm like the Mixed Yuan World, the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth could already allow the Ten Kills Palace to display its true power.
Ling Jian had also used his sword to suppress a ferocious beast at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Dao. Naturally, it was also a piece of cake.
"Once I obtain the Heavenly Spirit Treasure this time, with the help of the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Spirit Treasure, I'll definitely be able to truly step into the early stages of the Heaven Enlightenment Realm."
Ling Jian muttered to himself for a while before his figure flashed. As the spirit energy wings on his back flapped, his body slowly descended into the valley.
Whoosh.
Ling Jian's speed was very fast. A moment ago, he was still in the air, but in the next moment, he appeared in front of everyone in the valley.
After that, his body shook, and the wings on his back slowly retracted. He casually tossed them into the valley, and Nangong Jie's body was thrown in like trash.
Zhang Ling Er had been paying attention to Ling Jian all this while. Coupled with her cultivation being the strongest, she was the first to discover Ling Jian. When she saw Ling Jian casually toss a human figure over, her gaze immediately followed that human figure.
"Nangong Jie, why is it you?!"
Zhang Ling Er's pretty face changed slightly. She immediately recognized Nangong Jie and said in surprise.
At the same time, the other cultivators naturally noticed Nangong Jie's presence. Immediately, their gazes became filled with surprise and uncertainty.
They were all outstanding figures of the Tai Huang Heaven City's younger generation, so they naturally knew about Nangong Jie.
However, Nangong Jie was the Nangong Family's third greatest genius. Why would Ling Jian go and capture him?
Now that Nangong Jie was here, were the people of the Nangong Family nearby as well?
"Young Master Ling, what's going on? You've captured Nangong Jie?"
Zhang Ling Er asked as she looked at Ling Jian with a puzzled gaze.
"Didn't you guys think that someone was setting you guys up? Let me tell you guys, the person who set you up was Nangong Jie."
Ling Jian's tone was calm, but the moment he said those words, it caused the expressions of the surrounding cultivators to change drastically.
They had never imagined that the person who wanted to kill them would actually be someone from the Nangong Family.
At this moment, almost all of the cultivators' gazes landed on Nangong Jie. It was as if time had come to a halt because of this moment. After a while, their gazes were filled with some anger.
In the Supreme Desolation City, Nangong Jie was the third genius of the Nangong family. Amongst them, only Zhang Ling Er and Lei Qinghai could suppress him. The rest of them were no match for Nangong Jie.
However, when they faced Nangong Jie, they did not have that kind of fear. Instead, their eyes were filled with anger.
After all, the previous scene could be said to be a battle of life and death. If not for Ling Jian's help, they might have already been dead by now. This kind of hatred was not an exaggeration to call it a life and death grudge.
"Nangong Jie, there doesn't seem to be any grudge between us. Why are you trying to kill us?"
Lei Qinghai looked at Nangong Jie with a sinister gaze, his eyes filled with anger.
Nangong Jie lay on the ground. He did not speak directly towards Lei Qinghai's question. Instead, he continued to lie on the ground and buried his head beneath it.
When Lei Qinghai saw this, his expression became even darker. This caused him to almost have the impulse to kill Nangong Jie. Although Nangong Jie did not speak, it had undoubtedly proven too much.
"Nangong Jie, we are all from the Tai Huang Heaven City. Just what are you thinking? You actually want to kill us?"
Lei Qinghai seemed to be unwilling to let Nangong Jie go just like that. The fury in his voice had almost solidified.
They were all from the Tai Huang Heaven City, so it was natural for them to fight each other. However, in the past, none of them had ever been involved in life or death battles.
After all, they knew in their hearts that they would not really fight to the death.
However, what Nangong Jie was doing right now... He had broken this unspoken rule. This caused everyone to feel a chill in their hearts. In the face of life and death, these cultivators weren't as calm as they were right now.
Zhang Ling Er's pretty face was also ice-cold. She had probably never thought that the person who would attack them would actually be the number one family in the entire Tai Huang Heaven City, the Nangong Family.
She indeed had some doubts before, but that was also because she had thought of the Ouyang Clan. After all, the Zhang family and the Ouyang family were both located in the Eastern City District. Furthermore, there had been many years of conflict between the two great clans. If both parties wanted to kill each other... That was extremely normal.
However, not only did Nangong Jie's appearance surprise her greatly, she also felt an even greater conspiracy and pressure.
"Nangong Jie, did the rest of your Nangong Family participate in this as well?"
Zhang Ling Er looked at Nangong Jie and said in a cold voice.
Nangong Jie was like the four of them as he stuck his head onto the ground.
This scene stunned Zhang Ling Er. Although she did not know what had happened earlier, it was obvious that Ling Jian's attack had caused her to despair.
As such, she was helpless. If that was the case, she would not be able to obtain any useful information from him no matter what.
When Ling Jian saw this scene, he shook his head helplessly.
He felt that Zhang Ling Er was too soft-hearted after all. She must be ruthless when dealing with someone like Nangong Jie.
In the next moment, he waved his palm. Instantly, an enormous suction force swept out and enveloped Nangong Jie.
Initially, Nangong Jie was still lying on the ground. However, because of the suction force, his entire body seemed to be out of control, and he gradually stood up.
"Tell me the location of the rest of your family members, as well as the location of the Divine Prison Sect members. This way, I can leave you with a complete corpse."
Ling Jian glanced at him indifferently before his voice faded.
Nangong Jie quickly furrowed his brows, and his heart skipped a beat. This guy was really going to kill him?
"Ling Jian, I am a member of the Nangong Family. If you kill me here, you will definitely obtain the Nangong Family's endless revenge after the Ghost God Abyss. Have you thought about it?"
Nangong Jie looked at Ling Jian and said with a sinister smile. He knew that the other party would definitely not let him off if he begged for mercy. Thus, he immediately started to use the Nangong Family's power to threaten Ling Jian.
However, Ling Jian did not care about the Nangong Family at all. At this moment, he looked at Ling Jian and said in an even colder tone, "So, you're not going to give me an explanation?"
"Ling Jian, it is indeed our Nangong Family's fault this time around. However, we were all ordered by that guy, Gun Ba. If you can let me go... When I return, I will make sure that no one from my family dares to provoke you... What do you think?"
Nangong Jie looked at Ling Jian and saw that he was still as indifferent as ever. Gritting his teeth, he continued, "If you let me go this time, I'll even compensate you to my family when I return. This way, I won't let you suffer any losses, right? "
"Hehehe, you're just the third dish of the Nangong family, do you think you're Nangong Wentian?"
Ling Jian had been so indifferent from the beginning until the end, as if he couldn't control any of his emotions by talking to Ling Jian.
Nangong Jie could deeply feel an indescribable sense of ridicule.
But even so, he had no other choice when facing Ling Jian. He could only close his eyes and not see his heart.
What Ling Jian said was naturally correct. After all, he was only the third dish of the Nangong Family. He was simply incomparable to Nangong Wentian, and even Nangong Wan'er, who was ranked second, was not someone he could replace.
In comparison, the possibility of him asking the upper echelons of the Nangong family to compensate Ling Jian was very small.
"I'll ask you one last time, are you going to tell me or not?"
Ling Jian's tone became even colder, even carrying a hint of impatience.
Nangong Jie had already made up his mind. No matter what the other party asked, he would not say anything, as this would cause Ling Jian to be wary of the consequences. Even if the other party was really not afraid of the Nangong Family, he would still kill him. If he said anything, he might really die.
It had to be said that Nangong Jie's wishful thinking was pretty good. Such a move would indeed be useful against ordinary people. However, it was a pity that he had encountered Ling Jian today, so it was destined that it would not be possible.
At this moment, when Ling Jian saw that Nangong Jie was still silent, his eyes gradually turned cold.
"Since you're not going to speak, I'll have to do it myself."
Ling Jian laughed coldly. Suddenly, he stretched out his palm and pressed it onto Nangong Jie's head.
"Soulsearch!"
Ling Jian muttered in his heart.
"What do you want to do to me?"
Nangong Jie's expression changed greatly. Although he did not know what the other party was going to do, he had a very bad feeling about it. He felt that it would not be good for him to ask for more experience.
However, facing Nangong Jie at this moment, Ling Jian ignored him. Almost at the same time that his palm landed on the other party's head, he circulated the Soul Searching Power.
Ah!
The moment Ling Jian's palm landed on Nangong Jie's head, Nangong Jie let out a miserable cry. Just listening to that sound caused everyone to feel a chill run down their spines.
After all, Soul Searching was completely useless against weaklings.
The so-called Soul Searching was to enter the opponent's consciousness in an extremely tyrannical manner, and forcefully take away the memories of this person.
Once activated, it was equivalent to stirring up trouble in the opponent's sea of consciousness. How could it be easy?
At the side, regardless of whether it was Zhang Ling Er or Lei Qinghai, they couldn't help but be extremely moved when they heard this miserable cry.
They naturally did not care about the methods used by Ling Jian, but at this moment, they could see Nangong Jie's face that was constantly distorted due to the pain. They could only feel an indescribable chill rising in their hearts.
All of them had a petty thought in their hearts. They felt that they could not afford to offend Ling Jian in the future.
Ling Jian had already used Soul Search back in the Vast Expanse World. Now that he had arrived in the Mixed Energy World, even though this was only his first time using it, it was still a matter of course.2
Very soon, he found the question that he was about to ask Nangong Jie in his mind.
He had found all the information regarding the Nangong Family's location, as well as the information about the Tyrant Spear.
"As expected, they were all involved!"
Ling Jian slowly spoke. His eyes were filled with an icy coldness. A killing intent flashed across his eyes. With a shake of his hand, he tossed Nangong Jie's body away.
At this moment, Nangong Jie had completely lost his previous appearance. This was because all of the soul-searching strength had been used on his body. The facial features of his entire body had become extremely distorted and ferocious.
At this moment, his body had also shrunk by half. He was completely curled up on the ground. He looked like a small shrimp and did not have any courage anymore.
Zhang Ling Er and the others all looked towards Nangong Jie. When they saw Nangong Jie's current condition, all of their expressions changed.
Although they had indescribable hatred towards Nangong Jie previously, none of them dared to attack him.
After all, Nangong Jie was a member of the Nangong Family, and his grandfather... Furthermore, he was a genuine middle-stage Heavenly Source Realm expert. If Nangong Jie held a grudge against him... Once they returned to the Great Desolate Heaven City, they would definitely have to face Nangong Jie's crazy revenge.
However, Ling Jian's decisive attack had clearly exceeded the expectations of everyone present. They did not expect that the other party would act in such a manner. He did not care about the other party's identity and background at all.
The current Nangong Jie did not seem to have completely died yet, but the remaining consciousness on his body had already begun to gradually blur. Even if he really managed to pick up his life in the future, he might not be able to cultivate in the future.
"Young Master Ling, you... You're being a little impulsive."
Zhang Ling Er couldn't help but say. Her voice carried a trace of concern. She wasn't blaming Ling Jian, but worrying about him.
Although Ling Jian had the strength to kill an early stage Heaven Enlightenment Realm expert, it didn't mean that he could do whatever he wanted within the Heavenly Dao Realm. Furthermore, after entering the Heavenly Dao Realm, every major advancement was extremely difficult. Similarly, the gap between them was like a chasm.
Nangong Jie's grandfather was one of the three middle-stage Heavenly Source Realm experts in the Nangong Family, and his strength was not weaker than the Nangong Family's Family Head. Unless Ling Jian broke through to the early-stage Heavenly Source Realm, it was impossible for him to defeat him.
"Impulsive? I feel like I've already given in."
Ling Jian's tone was extremely indifferent, as if he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him making a move.
Based on his character, once he used Soul Search, the person who was used would usually be killed by him. Now that he had left Nangong Jie alive, this was already a huge concession.
"Nangong Jie's grandfather is an existence similar to Elder Firmament. Furthermore... His love for Nangong Jie was far greater than his love for him. If he were to return to the Divine Wilderness City... If he were to find out about what happened to Nangong Jie, he would definitely attack you. "
Zhang Ling Er said from the side. She was doing this for the sake of Ling Jian.
Even though Ling Jian had made a breakthrough in the Ghost God Abyss, he was at most at the Initial Heaven Enlightenment Realm. There was still a huge gap between him and a Heavenly Source Realm cultivator.
"If that's the case, I'd rather kill him directly. Wouldn't that be better?"
Ling Jian said indifferently. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ling Er's expression couldn't help but change drastically.
However, before she could react, Ling Jian suddenly flicked his finger and a black flame flew out. The temperature of the flame reached an astonishing degree of heat as it flew straight towards Nangong Jie.
At this moment, Nangong Jie's consciousness was gradually becoming blurry. When faced with this flame, he was completely unable to react at all. He could only watch helplessly as this flame landed on his body.
In an instant, the fiery light swept out. The flames on it seemed to have encountered some sort of oil as they instantly started burning furiously, covering his entire body.
Immediately, under the encirclement of the flames, within the valley... The miserable cry of Ling Jian who had lifted him up in the void was heard once again. However... This time, the screams did not continue much, and Ling Jian did not let him continue living... The high temperature of the flames instantly affected his entire body, and at this temperature... His body turned into dust, and finally dissipated in this world.
