672: C672 Hurt

C672 Hurt

Diting lived in the Dark World and had the ability to devour any dark energy. Unless the latter had an extremely high cultivation base, it was very difficult for the dark energy to pose any threat to it.

If it was killed by Ling Jian just like that, that would be a huge joke.

In an instant, that large pitch-black spear appeared above Truth Listener's head. It did not stop at all and ruthlessly smashed towards Truth Listener's head just like before.

Boom!

In the next moment, the black spear shattered, and Diting's body was once again surrounded by endless black flames.

The surrounding cultivators looked over without blinking, but they couldn't help but feel surprised.

With the experience of Diting devouring the black flames, they all began to guess whether this time was the same as before. Could it be that Diting really wasn't afraid of the power of the black flames?

"Huhuhu!"

The black flames continued to roll around Truth Listener's body. In an instant, it's getting more and more aggressive, and for a moment, a huge lion that was completely condensed from black fire charged towards Diting's head.

At this moment, Truth Listener was still raising its head. It opened its mouth, which was filled with black blood, and aimed at the lion that was completely formed from flames and swallowed it.

However, for a moment, under everyone's frightened gazes, the power of the flames was once again completely devoured by Diting.

Burp!

At this time, Truth Listener actually burped. At the same time, an intoxicated expression appeared on its beast face. Clearly, it was very satisfied with this feast.

"This... He actually swallowed all the flames?"

The surrounding cultivators were all petrified at this moment.

Although they had already expected this to happen, when Ling Jian's means were clearly a few times stronger than before, they didn't expect that the final outcome would still be the same.

Moreover, this time, Truth Listener clearly did not deliberately hide the flames and directly swallowed them in front of the many cultivators. That kind of result was very obvious, and the shock that it brought to everyone could not be any greater.

After all, since it was Ling Jian's second attack, he would definitely not go easy on him. Moreover, the high temperature of the fire source that spread out made it impossible for everyone to resist. Without a doubt, even if they had not tried it themselves, they could still feel the power. It definitely wouldn't be too weak.

And now, the powerful devouring power of the dark flames that Truth Listener had displayed, could it be that what Ling Jian had said earlier was actually true?

"I never imagined that this Diting would actually be so formidable. If Ling Jian didn't have any other powerful techniques, I'm afraid that he would be doomed to die in front of this ferocious beast today."

"Could it be that Truth Listener is really capable of killing Ling Jian?"

"If that's the case, then we can still be saved from now on. As long as Truth Listener kills Ling Jian, it's not like we have no chance at all."

"I hope that this Ling Jian can consume Truth Listener a little more. Otherwise, if we crush him, our ending might be even more tragic."

...

Everyone's eyes were constantly flickering with luster. They were considering what they would do if one of them lost.

At the same time, Truth Listener also looked at Ling Jian. However, in his human beast eyes, there was ridicule and ridicule.

"What a delicious meal. There seems to be an extremely powerful ferocious beast aura within your flames. Unfortunately, it has yet to awaken. Give me more of these flames. I'm not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

Truth Listener's Minor Dao.

When Ling Jian heard this, he frowned but did not reply immediately. His eyes flickered as if he was thinking of something.

"What is it? Is that all you have?"

"If that's the case, then it's my turn to take action now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Diting's four hooves began to sway. It was obvious that he was planning to make his move again.

However, just as he was about to make his move, Ling Jian suddenly swept his gaze over in his direction with a sharp gaze.

Instantly, Diting felt his heart shake inexplicably.

"Earlier, you said that you weren't afraid of dark energy, right?"

"You were able to resist some flames, right?"

Ling Jian looked at Truth Listener and spoke once again.

For some reason, after hearing this, Truth Listener had a bad premonition. However, it did not want to repeat Ling Jian's question. It just nodded indifferently.

"Hmph, with my experience, I have never heard of any ferocious beast that can completely ignore flames that contain dark energy. You are only at the initial-stage of Heaven Enlightenment Realm, yet you dare to say that you are not afraid of me?"

Ling Jian spoke indifferently. However, when he said this, it caused Truth Listener's expression to change.

"It's normal that you've never heard of it, because with your experience, how would you know?"

Diting said coldly.

"Alright. You've only been cultivating for a long time, but if this allows you to experience a lot, you are gravely mistaken."

"However, you said that you are not afraid of the flames of darkness. It should only be because you possess a certain resistance. If you really are not afraid of the dark energy... Then, the Heavenly Dao Spirit Treasure that contains the power of darkness should be able to keep you in check, right? "

Truth Listener's expression changed abruptly. It was unknown whether it was because of Ling Jian's words or because of the Heavenly Dao Treasure that Ling Jian was talking about.

Previously, Ling Jian could tell with a single glance that it could devour the Undying Black Flame that contained the power of darkness. But now, he did not expect that the other party would even be able to see through it.

Indeed, Truth Listener innately possessed a certain degree of resistance towards the power of darkness. However, it was not that he was unafraid. Otherwise, he would have long absorbed and refined the Heavenly Dao Treasure that contained the power of darkness.

"How is time? However, even if such a powerful thing were to appear before you, you would still be completely unable to control it. "

Truth Listener said coldly.

Indeed, what Ling Jian said was right. However, it was not nervous in the slightest.

After all, the latter's cultivation was only at the Heavenly Spirit Path. Even if he really had the chance to see the Heavenly Spirit Treasure that contained dark energy, he wouldn't have the chance to take it away.

Although the power of the flames that Ling Jian had displayed earlier was not weak, it was only not weak when compared to ordinary flames. It was not to the extent of harming it at all.

"Is that so? That is only a wisp of the flame's power now. Now, try its original form."

Ling Jian slowly opened his mouth. As he opened his palm, a wisp of black flame the size of a thumb jumped up and down like a fairy in the dark night.

This flame seemed to be much smaller than before. The color was the same, but it did not erupt with a terrifying aura like before. When it landed in the surroundings, there was not the slightest heat wave spreading out.

The surrounding cultivators also noticed this scene. Numerous gazes were filled with uncertainty as they looked at the flame. They were all puzzled.

However, even though many cultivators were unable to sense the black flame that had appeared in Ling Jian's palm, it was only the size of a thumb. However, Truth Listener's heart suddenly jumped when he saw the flame at this moment. As he looked at the flame, his four hooves began to move restlessly. It was as if this flame really had some damage.

"It seems that this flame has caused a disturbance in the Heavenly Dao Treasure!"

After Diting calmed down, he instantly had a rough guess. His gaze fell on the flame the size of a thumb on Ling Jian's palm, and he began to think about how he was going to deal with this flame.

Although this flame made him feel a great threat, it was just like the Heavenly Dao Spirit Treasure. To him, it possessed a great allure.

The flame in Ling Jian's palm was naturally the true form of the Undying Black Flame. Previously, he had only used a wisp of the Undying Black Flame's fire seed. Now, he had thrown out his true form. His eyes were cold as he looked at Truth Listener, and his cold voice rang out. "Let me see just how you are truly unafraid of flames. Is that true?"

After saying that, Ling Jian began to control the Undying Black Flame in his palm.

Instantly, the flame in his palm, which was only the size of a thumb, began to violently roll. The flames on it shot out in all directions, and then suddenly burst forth with numerous black pillars of light. These light pillars flew towards the sky. After which, they transformed into the true bodies of the Undying Fire Birds. In the direction of... Truth Listener pounced over.

Screech!

A loud cry rang out, and the Undying Firebird formed by the flames flew towards Truth Listener at lightning speed.

"Hmph, so what? Your cultivation base is ultimately only at the Heavenly Spirit Path!"

Truth Listener looked at the Undying Fire Birds that were flying towards him. Although his heart was shaken, he did not believe that with Ling Jian's current cultivation base, he would be able to unleash the full power of the flames.

Therefore, Truth Listener still stood where he was and did not intend to make a move.

However, very soon, it was extremely vexed by its own actions.

Because along with the appearance of these undying black birds formed from flames, it directly felt a pressure that penetrated deep into its bone marrow, this pressure came from its bloodline. Inexplicably, it made his indifferent heart become agitated.

And just as it felt restless, those Undying Fire Birds that flew over appeared in front of him at this time and swooped down towards his body. The high temperature contained on them instantly enveloped Truth Listener.

This time, Truth Listener did not calm down like the previous two times. Instead, it turned pale with fright.

"Not good."

Truth Listener growled. At this critical moment, his reaction was quite fast. After sensing that something was wrong, he stomped on the ground violently with his four hooves and shot to the side with lightning speed.

However, even though it was already very fast, the speed of the flames was even faster.

Although the front half of its body had already been dodged, the back half of its body did not have the time to catch up. Immediately, it was caught up by numerous Undying Fire Birds.

Rumble.

The tremendous force caused the entire ground to shake.

The lower half of Diting's body was accompanied by a sound as waves of pain came from it. At the same time, the lower half of Diting's body was also emitting waves of searing pain.

This caused Diting to be unable to help but roar loudly, and his voice was filled with waves of anger.

Ever since he had appeared in the Ghost God Abyss, this sort of situation had not occurred to him for a very long time. The feeling of being burned and in pain the last time was caused because he was too close to the Heavenly Dao Spirit Treasure. And this time, he completely did not expect that he would actually be injured by a cultivator whose cultivation was even lower than his.

The Undying Fire Bird landed on the ground and directly turned into flames that spread out in all directions.

Fortunately, Truth Listener's reaction this time had not fallen, which was why it had not been injured by the flames.

But even so, the matter of Ling Jian's attack causing him to be seriously injured still made him feel waves of anger.

One had to know that as Truth Listener, he possessed a trace of the bloodline of a Divine Beast. However, he had never imagined that he would be injured by a human cultivator whose cultivation was one realm lower than his. This was a great humiliation to him.

He found it hard to believe. Ling Jian's cultivation was only at the Heavenly Spirit Path. How could he unleash the power of flames to such an extent? It was true that the Undying Black Flame was extraordinary, but it was also very rare to see such a thing.

At this moment, the gazes of the surrounding cultivators also became strange.

Previously, they had heard it clearly. Truth Listener had said that he wasn't afraid of flames, but in the next moment, Ling Jian had injured him with the Undying Black Flame. The contrast between the two was too great. It was truly a slap in the face.

Roar!

Truth Listener roared towards the sky, emitting a deafening sound. Clearly, it was extremely furious.

One had to know that Ling Jian was only at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path, yet he was able to injure her. To him, this was absolutely a great humiliation. Only by completely killing Ling Jian would he be able to regain his dignity.

It looked at the lower half of its body again. At this moment, its body had already become charred black. Although this was partly due to the fact that his body was already very black, most of it was burned to such a state by the Undying Black Flame. Especially its tail, there was no longer any mane. Some parts of it already had flesh and blood. It looked quite ferocious.

"Ah, damn it, I'll kill you!"

Truth Listener directly collapsed. One had to know that its body was infinitely close to the tyrannical level of a Divine Beast. But now that it had been heavily injured by Ling Jian, at the next moment, Truth Listener transformed into a dark stream of light. Its speed was extremely fast as it charged towards Ling Jian at high speed.

"This Diting has been enraged."

"I wonder how powerful it will be when it's enraged?"

"This speed is too fast. I can't even catch that black afterimage."

"Perhaps it can even kill Ling Jian. Let's wait and see."

...

Many cultivators began to discuss amongst themselves at this moment, and they were filled with confidence towards Truth Listener.

Ling Jian naturally saw this scene. However, he did not mind. He poured all of his strength into the black flames. Immediately, a pillar of light erupted from it. It transformed into a huge Undying Fire Bird that swiftly descended towards Truth Listener.

A trace of anxiety flashed across Truth Listener's beast eyes. What had happened earlier... It was still vivid in its mind. Naturally, it did not dare to continue underestimating this Undying Fire Bird. Although it was only formed from flames, it contained a bloodline power that was even stronger than his. It was already extraordinary.

His figure flashed and dodged the Undying Fire Bird's dive.

Of course, even though he dodged, he still felt waves of searing pain on his body. This caused the front half of his mane to instantly burn.

"Damn it, what kind of power is this? Why is it actually able to produce a bloodline suppression that even I am afraid of?"

"Why have I never heard of this flame before? To actually be able to injure me, this is truly inconceivable."

Truth Listener thought in its heart, but in reality, it was extremely shocked in its heart.

It had never imagined that the Undying Black Flame in Ling Jian's hands would actually be so powerful.

Such power was already not inferior to the Heavenly Dao Treasure in the sea region at all.

Screech!

Although Truth Listener dodged the Undying Fire Bird's attack, the Undying Fire Bird did not dissipate because of this. Instead, it circled in the void before continuing to dive down at an even faster speed.

Truth Listener was also rather furious in his heart. At this moment, the distance between him and Ling Jian was still that of the courtyard. However, he did not expect that Ling Jian would actually be so persistent.

Seeing that the Undying Fire Bird had once again rushed over, Truth Listener suddenly had a thought. Half of his body had already drilled into the ground.

Everyone was dumbstruck. Although Truth Listener had crawled out of the ground earlier, after all, it had suddenly appeared, and it had come very abruptly. They were not prepared at all, but this time, they really saw Truth Listener burrow into the ground.

"Why did it drill into the ground? Could it be that it wants to escape at the last moment?"

"It's too cowardly. It actually ran away when it encountered danger."

"After all, it has some intelligence. Otherwise, it might have died a long time ago."

"Maybe he's going to launch some kind of attack. Maybe it's not impossible."

"If he sneak-attacks at this time, perhaps the effect will be even greater."

The surrounding cultivators all revealed puzzled expressions, because they discovered that no matter how they tried to detect it, they were unable to sense Diting's aura. It was obvious that Diting was hiding very well, so none of them could sense it.

Ling Jian stood in the surroundings. At this moment, his gaze swept the surroundings, and his gaze revealed traces of luster, as if he had seen something.

Peng!

Suddenly, at this moment, a loud sound rang out without any warning.

Behind Ling Jian, the ground actually exploded open, and a black afterimage leaped out from within. It was Diting, who had drilled into the ground earlier.

"Ling Jian, go to hell!"

Diting roared loudly, and his voice echoed in the surroundings like thunder.

Terrifying dark energy erupted from his four hooves at this moment. That black color instead gave off a bright feeling. It was clearly extremely sharp. At this moment, his four hooves pounced towards the back of Ling Jian's head. Obviously, it wanted to directly kick Ling Jian's head to pieces.

Following that, a trace of ferociousness appeared on Diting's face. Seeing that the distance between them and Ling Jian was getting closer and closer, he was so excited that he was about to collapse.

He could already see the scene of Ling Jian being killed by him.

"Hmm?"

However, at this moment, Truth Listener's expression changed slightly, and his beast eyes contracted intensely.

Because the following strange scene appeared. His four hooves directly smashed apart Ling Jian's figure in front of him. Just as he was extremely stunned, he realized... So the shadow in front of him was actually just an afterimage of the other party.

Truth Listener was incomparably shocked in his heart. He had never imagined that Ling Jian's speed would actually be so fast. He had just prepared a sneak attack, and during this period of time, Ling Jian had already left his original position.

"With your speed, you still want to play sneak attacks?"

At this moment, an incomparably indifferent voice sounded out from behind Truth Listener.

This voice was none other than Ling Jian.

Truth Listener's heart was filled with shock. He had never imagined that Ling Jian would appear behind him. He did not even notice this action and could only watch helplessly as the situation developed.

In reality, even with the eyes of the surrounding cultivators, they were unable to clearly see how Ling Jian's figure had appeared behind Truth Listener at this moment.

In the eyes of so many of them, they only saw... Ling Jian! It was as if he had teleported. He had been at this position a moment ago. However, in the next moment, he had appeared in another direction. As for what had happened in the middle, they had no idea.

Ling Jian naturally did not appear behind Truth Listener to shock everyone. In the next moment, he suddenly flipped his hand and slapped down furiously.

Thus, at this moment, his palm slammed onto Truth Listener's body at a speed that no one could sense.

This palm was like the palm of a lover, and it did not have the slightest bit of power. However, it was this palm that seemed to have no power at all. However, when it landed on Truth Listener's body, it immediately caused his eyes to widen.

Peng!

Instantly, the power in his palm instantly charged into Truth Listener's body. At this moment, Truth Listener's body suddenly trembled, and then a huge and malevolent bloody hole appeared on its body.

At this moment, Diting's body did not stop at all. It was as if he had been knocked flying by a barbaric bull. Finally, he fiercely flew forward not too far away.

Even Truth Listener, who had been sent flying by Ling Jian's palm strike, had an astonishing speed at this moment. It was incomparably fast, and everyone could only vaguely catch an afterimage.

Instantly, many cultivators began to tremble.

Although Ling Jian had struck out with his palm earlier, there was actually no spiritual energy on it at all. In other words, Ling Jian hadn't used any spiritual spells, but his power was already so powerful. It could be imagined that if he were to use a spiritual technique, the current Truth Listener would definitely not simply be sent flying.

Bang!

Truth Listener's body directly smashed into a wall before stabilizing his body.

However, even so, the current Truth Listener looked incomparably pathetic. This was especially the case with the huge bloody hole that had appeared on his body. Blood was continuously dripping down from it. If he did not deal with it, his strength might be greatly reduced due to excessive bleeding.2

This time, Truth Listener was finally enraged. He did not expect that he would actually be defeated by Ling Jian twice in a row.

This time, Ling Jian did not use the Undying Black Flame, but chose to fight in close combat. He did not expect it to be so powerful.

This caused a trace of seriousness to appear in his eyes when he looked at Ling Jian for the first time.

Of course, it was more unbearable. After all, his body contained traces of the Divine Beast Bloodline. If he met a human cultivator whose cultivation was lower than his own, wouldn't the best outcome be to be crushed by him?

"It seems that the so-called Underground Beast is only so-so."

Just as Truth Listener was furious, Ling Jian's piercing voice transmitted into his brain.
