Chapter 536 - 535: Drained Dry
"You, you..."
Niu Tuntian felt a terrifying force pinning down his shoulders. He couldn’t even lift them. It was as if several great mountains were crushing him, rendering him completely immobile.
"Kneel!" Yi Tianyun’s palm slammed down again. The immense force completely crushed the half-kneeling Niu Tuntian to the ground, forcing him onto all fours as he struggled to support himself.
As he struggled, his Spiritual Power was continuously siphoned into Yi Tianyun’s body, and a significant amount was quickly drained.
A strange scene unfolded. A petite human—well, not truly small, but compared to Niu Tuntian, he was tiny. It was like the difference between an adult and a child.
Yet, this small body had Niu Tuntian completely pinned down, unable to move a muscle. With Yi Tianyun’s cultivation greatly enhanced and Madness Mode activated, Niu Tuntian was instantly crushed!
Had his cultivation been lower, he wouldn’t have been able to do this. But now, he could. This was the benefit of increased cultivation. On top of his already formidable foundation, the explosive effects of Madness Mode stacked up, instantly unleashing a terrifying power that gave him the ability to kill Spirit King Stage experts above his own level!
That was precisely why he was in no hurry to kill them. He would first slowly absorb their Spiritual Power—it was a massive amount of experience. To annihilate them all, what he needed was levels!
’I want to level up again, or dealing with Ming Chen and the others will be quite difficult.’ However, to onlookers, it was a humiliating suppression, meant to make Niu Tuntian completely submit to him.
"Get... Get off me..." Niu Tuntian wanted to erupt, but he was pinned down by Yi Tianyun, his Spiritual Power continuously being drained. It was an immense humiliation.
"What, still not convinced?" Yi Tianyun increased the force in his hand, and this time, Niu Tuntian was pressed flat against the ground, unable to even prop himself up.
If the ground hadn’t been so hard, Niu Tuntian would have been crushed into it long ago.
"Weren’t you so strong just now? Didn’t you want to devour me? Come on, then!" Yi Tianyun sneered. "You know full well what your brother, Men Hu, did. For such evil deeds, death is too good for him!"
He recalled the bloody scene, and it was truly nauseating. But there were many people like that; he had encountered them before. Every one of them was a vicious and merciless character.
"They were just a bunch of trash. What’s the problem if they died? The weak are prey for the strong..."
BANG!
Yi Tianyun stomped heavily on his body, shattering several of his bones. The severe internal injuries made Niu Tuntian spit out a mouthful of blood. His massive body rapidly shrank back to its original form, and his previous imposing aura vanished. Suppressed like this, what aura could he possibly have? He couldn’t even muster any strength.
"The weak are prey for the strong, you’re right. So now, I am the strong, and I will crush you to death, bit by bit!" Yi Tianyun’s gaze was icy.
"Bastard!" Ba Long and the others’ expressions twisted with rage when they saw this, but it was pointless. They couldn’t enter the combat area and could only watch from the outside.
Many of the onlookers exchanged glances. Niu Tuntian was being completely suppressed, overpowered in both strength and the siphoning ability.
"I’ll kill you!" Ba Long roared. "If you have the guts, let him go and fight me!"
Ba Long and his companions were furious, all wanting to step up and fight Yi Tianyun one-on-one.
"Don’t worry, I’ll ’entertain’ each and every one of you. No need to be in such a hurry." Yi Tianyun gave a cold smile. Of course, he would deal with the remaining three. He wouldn’t let a single one go!
"Get your foot off him and get down here! What’s so great about bullying someone weaker? Come at me if you’ve got what it takes!"
"That’s right! Get down here and start the next match! We’ll be sure to satisfy you!"
They all started spewing insults, even bringing up "bullying the weak." It was truly laughable.
Yi Tianyun was now focused on his frantic absorption. No matter what crazed things the people on the sidelines were shouting, he paid them no mind. He just rapidly devoured Niu Tuntian’s Spiritual Power, draining him dry bit by bit.
Finally, the Spiritual Power was completely drained. Yi Tianyun gained a good amount of experience and was quite satisfied.
"That’s about enough." Yi Tianyun lifted his foot. Niu Tuntian, however, remained sprawled on the ground, unable to move an inch. His Spiritual Power had been drained, and he was severely injured; he couldn’t even crawl.
The next moment, he kicked out viciously. THUD! Niu Tuntian was sent flying by the heavy kick.
"Quick, save him!" Ba Long and the others yelled.
At that moment, Yi Tianyun swiftly drew his sword and slashed at Niu Tuntian’s body. A sharp Sword Aura shot out horizontally. Unable to resist, Niu Tuntian could only watch helplessly as the Sword Aura came for him.
PSHH!
The sharp Sword Aura instantly sliced Niu Tuntian in two. His body then fell from the Celestial Altar. Even if someone came to the rescue, all they would retrieve was a corpse.
"Ding! Successfully killed Niu Tuntian. Gained 120,000,000 experience points, 8,000 Madness Value, 1,600 Sin Value! Obtained Martial Arts: Devouring Heaven and Earth, Thunder Dominating Slash, Bull Charge! Obtained Items: Thunderous Axe (High-grade Sacred Artifact), Thunder Armor (High-grade Sacred Artifact), Thundering Boots (High-grade Sacred Artifact), Thundering Bull Horn (High-grade Sacred Artifact material, Rare), Wild Bull Bloodline (Fourth Grade Bloodline, Rare)."
After successfully killing Niu Tuntian, he dropped a huge pile of items, which was to be expected. It was just a shame that he didn’t get a bonus for killing someone of a higher level.
Still, after killing Niu Tuntian, the total experience he had gained added up to nearly two hundred million. He was already very satisfied. By continuously absorbing, he had gained quite a lot of experience.
"Old Niu!"
They roared in fury. It looked like he couldn’t be saved, but there was nothing they could do.
"What, you can feel anger too? I thought you were all cold-blooded," Yi Tianyun said calmly.
"You killed Old Niu! If you have any guts, pick me!" Ba Long stepped forward, thick Dragon Armor appearing all over his body. Seething with uncontrollable rage, he unleashed his full power, wanting to tear Yi Tianyun limb from limb.
"Don’t worry, your turn will come soon... But I’ll pick you first!" Yi Tianyun pointed at Nangong Ming. Nangong Ming’s cultivation was stronger; he was at the fourth layer of the Spirit King Stage, a cut above Niu Tuntian.
’Going in this order is undoubtedly the best choice. It’ll put less pressure on me.’
"Picking me? You think I’m an easy opponent?" Nangong Ming’s broken-gong-like voice rang out, as grating as ever.
His pupils flickered with a faint blue light. He had always been rather low-key, so no one knew what kind of abilities he possessed—except for Yi Tianyun.
’I’ve already scouted him inside and out. All of his Martial Arts are exposed, and his weakness is simple and straightforward: Fire of Supreme Strength.’
’Since I have the Immortal Fire, dealing with him will be much less difficult. Of course, even without the Immortal Fire, I can still suppress this Nangong Ming!’
