421: Chapter 421 The Two-Pole Reversal Array
Feeling the energy fluctuations below, the knight's heart trembled, unable to immediately identify what kind of array this was.
After all, he was just a knight; if he had the leisure to read wizard books, why wouldn't he just become a wizard himself?
Moreover, to this day, there are at least one hundred thousand, if not a million, arrays in Belvis World; no normal wizard could remember that many.
However, knights naturally have their own ways of breaking them.
The silver-armored knight steeled his heart, infused his battle qi into his spear, and plummeted downward like a shooting star.
As long as the wizard's array hadn't been activated, its intensity wouldn't be that high; destroying it as much as possible might offer a glimmer of hope.
The moment the spear tip touched the array, a violent burst of energy erupted from within it.
Even the entire barrier trembled incessantly from this energy impact.
"There's a chance!"
The knight's spirit lifted, and he increased the battle qi injected into his spear.
The array began to shake violently, as if it were on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
But just then, the energy fluctuations below suddenly vanished, and a strong gust of wind blew up from below, sweeping the knight up.
Having barely managed to steady himself, the knight was wondering why the array's energy had vanished into thin air when he suddenly felt intense energy fluctuations appear above him.
"Polar Reversal Array!"
The knight instantly recognized this array.
The Polar Reversal Array is not a conventional array, or rather, a standalone Polar Reversal Array is completely useless.
Because this is a type of spatial teleportation array.
But when this array is used in combination with other arrays, it can produce unexpected effects.
However, setting up this kind of array requires extremely high attainment in spatial runes, which is very rare even among wizards.
The massive array enveloped the knight, and the energy radiating from it made the knight feel alarmed.
Without any hesitation, the knight waved his hand, and a silver-blue bead flew out from his spatial ring.
As battle qi was injected into the bead, a silver-blue barrier rose up around the knight.
At the same time, the energy within the array erupted, and violent wind-elemental energy poured down, submerging the knight within it.
In just a moment, the surface of the barrier that was originally meant to trap the knight became covered in cracks.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the barrier exploded.
The violent energy poured out into the surroundings, grinding everything in its path into dust and dissipating it.
After several breaths of time passed, Amivika retracted her magic power, her face slightly pale.
Immediately after, the array above vanished, and as the green radiance faded, a humanoid figure was gradually revealed.
At this moment, the knight was half-kneeling on the ground, his armor shattered, covered in wounds; his skin looked as if it had been shaved by blades, with a large number of scars covering his entire body.
And on the left side of the knight's body, which had been affected by the chaos power, his shoulder, which had originally only been missing a piece of flesh, had been sliced off at an angle, and his entire left shoulder and arm had completely vanished.
"Cough~"
The knight couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.
Although he looked severely injured on the surface, his internal condition was actually much worse.
It was as if there were countless tiny iron filings inside his body, constantly tearing at his flesh and internal organs.
He was not Nie Ning and did not possess such terrifyingly powerful regenerative abilities.
If he didn't find a place to purge this power, he feared that before long, his body would be ruined, and he might not even be able to maintain his own cultivation base.
With no time to rest, the knight endured the pain, erupted with his remaining battle qi, and quickly rushed outward.
Amivika saw this, but had no intention of pursuing him, simply watching the knight depart.
Because pursuing him wouldn't be of any use.
Before Nie Ning appeared, she had already fought several battles, and her physical condition was no longer what it had been.
If she were to encounter another intact Tier 6, that would likely be the end of her.
After calming down for a moment, Amivika looked at the weak Nie Ning.
But Nie Ning did not look at her; his gaze was fixed on a dilapidated alley in the distance.
Amivika followed Nie Ning's gaze, and a woman with wrinkled skin and an aged face, wrapped in a pale blue light, appeared in her field of vision.
The elderly woman was lying on the ground, most of the vitality within her body had already faded, and the flame of life seemed as if it could be extinguished at any moment.
Seeing this, Amivika recognized the pale blue shield, and recalled that she seemed to have once given someone such a little trinket.
Because it was brought from outside, there was only one such item in the entire Yishi Mansion.
After a moment of hesitation, Amivika slowly flew over with Nie Ning.
Looking at the elderly woman before her, Amivika's thoughts swirled, eventually turning into a sigh.
Vitality having faded, this was no longer something that could be replenished by medicinal pills.
Life energy is just a general term for vitality; in reality, all living things possess this energy.
The difference is that what the woman before her had lost was her life source, which is what people commonly call lifespan.
In the other party's current state, even if there were pills to replenish lifespan, they would actually be unable to fill that hollow shell.
Because the flame of life was nearly extinguished, ordinary items could hardly reignite it.
Even if there were, ordinary people wouldn't use them on them.
Seeing Amivika arrive, the flickering barrier slowly disappeared; the woman's expression was dazed, carrying a hint of pain.
Amivika walked to the woman's side, gently lifted her up and held her to her chest, then lightly patted the woman's back.
"Sleep, sleep, this is just a dream; when you wake up, everything will be fine."
Amivika's voice seemed to carry a certain magic; upon hearing it, the woman's face revealed a serene expression, and she obediently closed her eyes.
Immediately after, magic power circulated in Amivika's hand, completely extinguishing the last trace of vitality on the woman.
Seeing this, Nie Ning said nothing, but his complex gaze betrayed his mood at this moment.
The passing of life is always moving and regrettable.
Moreover, if it weren't for the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings, this little girl might have been able to hold on until Yishi Mansion's rescue.
Gently placing the girl on the ground, Amivika's expression was calm, as if this were just a trivial matter to her.
...
The two collected themselves, and Amivika took Nie Ning and flew out of the canyon.
The scene outside was like the apocalypse, with fires raging everywhere and chaos all around.
Who could have imagined that just yesterday, this place was still peaceful and full of prosperity.
But now, the originally beautiful Yishi Mansion was in ruins.
The fighting still had not stopped.
Due to the many Transcendents who had died, the air was filled with a heavy smell of blood, and everywhere one could see severed limbs and hear bursts of wailing.
Nie Ning looked up into the distance; of the several wizards besieging the old witch, only four remained, and all of them were covered in wounds.
"Who is that old witch, and when did you offend such a powerful person?"
Seeing this, Nie Ning couldn't help but ask.
