409: Chapter 409 Growing Stronger

"My treasures! My collection! My rare materials! They're all gone!"

Nie Ning's wail echoed across the sky.

Those were things he had worked so hard for such a long time to obtain, yet now they had all gone up in flames.

It couldn't even be described as miserable; it was enough to make anyone who heard it sad and tearful.

After all, how many six or seven-year periods does a person have in their life? In the blink of an eye, a lifetime passes.

Er...

Nie Ning suddenly stopped.

It seemed he wasn't limited to living just a few six or seven-year periods; he could live for many, many seven-year periods.

Given his strength and age, living for three hundred years shouldn't be a problem.

If he took good care of himself, he might even live for five hundred years, and if he stopped fighting people from now on, he might live even longer.

"Actually, you don't need to think about that much, since whether you can even survive right now is a question."

Watching the neurotic Nie Ning, the Demon Wizard shook his head slightly and said.

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning shrugged indifferently, while black crystals grew on the surface of his body, subsequently forming a strange suit of black armor.

"Actually, you should think about yourself; perhaps you should consider whether you can survive."

Nie Ning hung his scabbard on his waist while pointing the xueyan bladeless at the Demon Wizard, saying teasingly.

It had to be said that his luck was still pretty good.

Fortunately, the xueyan bladeless could not be stored in spatial equipment, otherwise this top-tier item would have really been lost; it could be considered a stroke of luck in misfortune.

If he ever ran out of money someday, this piece of equipment could actually sell for a good price.

Watching Nie Ning's attitude, the Demon Wizard couldn't help but find it a bit amusing.

"I can feel that your aura has become stronger, but do you really think you can defeat me?"

After all, he only had the energy of a Tier 5, but possessed power far exceeding Tier 5; the things he mastered were absolute truth for anyone below Tier 5!

"How about we try?"

Nie Ning curled his lips, looking disdainful.

He had managed to endure Corruption, so he didn't believe he would actually die.

Besides, his power was not the same as before.

"There's no need to try; you don't have any chance of winning."

The Demon Wizard shook his head and then continued.

"I'll give you a chance to survive; as long as you are willing to sign a contract, I can promise to let you go after a hundred years."

Of course, whether he could live until then was another question.

However, he was truly reluctant to part with such a rare find; paying a small price should allow him to take Nie Ning with him.

Nie Ning fell into deep thought.

He wondered why Yishi Mansion still hadn't made a move; it seemed a bit too unusual.

Judging by the Demon Wizard's current state, it could almost be said that he had no chance of winning, so how could there be no reinforcements?

Could everything Helian said before be fake, just to find a suitable opportunity to kill him?

Like right now, for instance; it was indeed a very good opportunity.

As long as it was handled properly, others wouldn't be able to find fault, and naturally, he wouldn't end up with a bad reputation.

But that was the problem; why did Belen send him here?

At the very least, he had known Belen before meeting Amivika; it couldn't possibly be a pre-calculated revenge.

Besides, with that kind of ability, why didn't Helian make a move before he became famous?

Therefore, something might have happened to Yishi Mansion!

Thinking of this, Nie Ning's eyes flickered; he knew he could no longer rely on Yishi Mansion.

"Have you thought it through? I don't have time to waste with you; your time is running out."

The Demon Wizard's voice sounded again, mixed with a hint of impatience.

Although he still had some tricks up his sleeve, continuing to waste time with Nie Ning would only make his hope of leaving smaller and smaller.

Because with his current strength, he simply couldn't break through the spatial barrier to return to the main world.

"I've thought it through. You take one strike from me; if you're fine, I'll go with you. Your strength is so great, you wouldn't refuse, right?"

Nie Ning suddenly asked with a smile.

The Demon Wizard looked at Nie Ning and shook his head: "I don't have time to play games with you. Once we leave here, I'll accompany you however you want to play."

Nie Ning curled his lips: "You aren't scared, are you?"

"Provocation doesn't work on me. Either live or die; there are no other options."

As the Demon Wizard finished speaking, a powerful pressure descended upon Nie Ning.

The more this happened, the more the Demon Wizard felt something was wrong with Nie Ning, so naturally, he wouldn't be stupid to that extent.

Moreover, as a wizard, having great strength didn't mean living long, and wanting to survive meant treating everything with caution.

If this kid suddenly pulled out a super weapon capable of wiping out a Tier 6, he would truly die with regrets.

Nie Ning's mouth twitched slightly.

"If you don't agree, then I'm leaving."

Having said that, Nie Ning lifted his leg to leave.

Seeing this, the Demon Wizard's magic power stirred within him.

Since he wasn't willing to sign the contract, taking back a dead body was also a good choice.

Just as Nie Ning stepped forward, the ground suddenly cracked open, and immediately after, a large amount of blood surged toward Nie Ning.

Nie Ning quickly rushed into the air, while the blood behind him transformed into a hundred-meter-long blood python.

The blood python was very fast; in an instant, it had reached Nie Ning's back.

Now, not only were Nie Ning's spatial equipment gone, but even his carefully crafted Heavenly Universe Holy Wings had been burned, making it impossible to shake off the blood python.

Seeing the giant python with its bloody maw tearing toward him, Nie Ning couldn't help but take a deep breath, hold his focus, and inject energy into the xueyan bladeless.

And at the moment the blood python attacked, Nie Ning raised his hand in an upward slash; a huge white blade of light cut through, splitting the blood python in half from the middle.

Immediately after, the blood python exploded, turning into blood that fell from the sky like raindrops.

The Demon Wizard stared straight at Nie Ning.

Indeed, his guess was not wrong; Nie Ning had really become stronger again.

This guy was indeed different; not only did he not die while under Corruption, but his strength had even improved.

There was definitely a secret!

Thinking of this, the Demon Wizard raised his hand slightly, and the blood falling in the air suddenly stopped.

Then, with a gentle wave, the blood turned into beads of blood and shot toward Nie Ning.

Seeing this scene, black crystals instantly wrapped around Nie Ning's head.

"Ding ding ding~"

Under the impact of the blood beads, the black armor constantly emitted crisp sounds, just like raindrops falling on glass.

The Demon Wizard looked at the armor on Nie Ning's body with flickering eyes.

Although it still couldn't block his attacks, and a large number of cracks had already appeared on the surface of the armor, the improvement compared to before was simply too great.

"Psionicist."

The Demon Wizard slowly spat out three words.

The Psionicist's ability was similar to that of a Corruptor; both were abilities generated by soul aberration.

However, relatively speaking, the Psionicist belonged to a benign development, having its own vivid thinking, which was ten thousand times stronger than a Corruptor whose soul had been corrupted!
