Yet he still couldn't sense the other person's presence!
A bead of sweat formed on Nie Li's forehead. His cultivation had already reached the Fifth Life Realm, and his perceptive abilities had become astonishingly powerful. Within a fifty-meter radius, he could faintly detect even the faintest aura of a powerhouse in the Heavenly Transition Realm. But this opponent was completely invisible to his senses!
The opponent's strength was at least that of the Dragon Dao Realm!
Though he hadn't sensed their aura, relying on his rich combat experience from his previous life, Nie Li sharply felt a profound sense of danger.
Assassinating a student within the Heavenly Spirit Institute was absolutely forbidden. It was strictly prohibited by the sect rules of the Divine Feather Sect. Even if the Venerable Wuyan held a prominent status, doing such a thing would be investigated to the very end, and it would cost him his life.
The rules of the Divine Feather Sect were not to be violated by anyone!
If it was Venerable Wuyan, Nie Li couldn't understand why he would do this.
After all, no matter how discreetly Venerable Wuyan acted, the five giants of the Divine Feather Sect would eventually uncover it. Wasn't this far too reckless and heedless of consequences?
Nie Li slowed his breathing, his gaze scanning coldly. The moment the opponent made their move, he would strike back with full force!
If the opponent's strength was truly too overwhelming, he would have no choice but to use the secret techniques of the Heavenly Dao Divine Art and fight them to the death! He could only hope that the noise and fluctuating energy from their clash would attract the attention of some higher-ups in the Divine Feather Sect.
Nie Li was scanning his surroundings, ready for battle at any moment, when suddenly, from the surrounding void, invisible forces locked onto him.
"Not good!" Nie Li's heart clenched. He swung the Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword in his hand and slashed forward.
Countless lightning pillars materialized out of thin air and blasted toward those invisible forces.
But just as the lightning pillars were halfway released, with a *bang*, they shattered and dissipated.
How could this be? Nie Li's pupils contracted violently. This opponent's strength was formidable!
Those invisible forces continued to lock onto Nie Li.
Nie Li roared in anger, immediately preparing to fuse with the Shadow Demon Spirit. But just as he channeled the power within his Soul Sea to begin the fusion, a strange force slammed into his Soul Sea. The Soul Sea shuddered and scattered, instantly interrupting the fusion process.
Immediately after, an invisible force wrapped around Nie Li's right foot, lifting his entire body into the air.
The opponent's attack speed was simply too fast. Nie Li was greatly alarmed. He tensed his body and swung the Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword to cut the invisible force binding his foot.
Just as Nie Li moved, two more invisible forces bound his hands. A force struck his pulse point. Pain shot through his wrist, and the Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword slipped from his grasp.
His hands and feet were completely locked by invisible forces.
He had absolutely no power to resist in the opponent's hands. Nie Li didn't even know where the opponent was. Their strength had at least reached the peak of the Dragon Dao Realm! Nie Li frowned slightly. Perhaps he had been mistaken. The opponent was likely not one of Venerable Wuyan's people.
