Chapter 4167: Silencing the Witness
Nie Tian couldn't help but get interested when he heard the man talking about the Emperor Heart Ancestral Dragon, but the latter suddenly stopped, which made him frown.
"Brother, what exactly is the Emperor Heart Ancestral Dragon? Is it a taboo that can't be mentioned?" The other person was obviously as interested as Nie Tian, and couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Some things are better not to know." The man took a sip of wine and smiled: "Sometimes, secrets can cost lives."
After that, he stood up and left the restaurant.
Nie Tian looked at the back, his mouth twitched slightly, and he stood up and followed.
The three-eyed ancestor Chi Jian frowned and followed Nie Tian.
After the two walked out of the restaurant, they secretly followed the man, keeping a distance.
A moment later, the man turned into a small alley, and his breath suddenly disappeared.
Nie Tian frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and quickly followed.
"Be careful!" Just as he stepped into the alley, Chi Jian suddenly realized something and shouted.
Nie Tian's face changed, and he reacted instantly. The sword energy around him surged, and the sword shield condensed.
"Bang!" The next moment, a palm force whistled out, pressing down, and the sword shield broke with a sound. Nie Tian's figure retreated several steps. After stabilizing his body, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his face was pale and ugly.
"Stinky boy, you are following me secretly, what do you want to do?" Then, the figure appeared, looking at Nie Tian with a sneer on his face.
Nie Tian took a deep breath, and his face improved a little.
This man's palm was very powerful, but if it was normal, it would not pose much threat to him. It was only because he had the Tianchi blood that had just condensed in his body, which made his martial body unstable, so he vomited blood.
"Are you okay?" At this time, Chi Jian's figure flashed and looked at Nie Tian nervously, fearing that the latter would make a mistake.
Nie Tian forced a smile, indicating that he was fine.
"Don't misunderstand, sir. I'm just interested in what you just said." Nie Tian looked at the man in front of him and smiled lightly.
Only at this time did he have the opportunity to carefully look at the warrior in front of him.
With a square mouth and broad cheeks, strong facial features, and an upright figure, he gave people a sense of righteousness.
He should not be very old, but his strength has reached the astonishing fifth level of the Heavenly Tribulation.
He should have retained his strength in that palm just now.
"Are you talking about the Emperor Heart Ancestral Dragon?" The man laughed, his eyes inadvertently swept over Chi Jian, and a trace of fear flashed on his face.
How could he see through Chi Jian's strength!
"Yeah." Nie Tian nodded, seeing that the other party was very afraid of Chi Jian, and smiled: "Don't be nervous, sir, I'm just curious. If you are not convenient to answer, I won't force it."
The man stared at Chi Jian, thinking, just because you don't force it doesn't mean that this old man doesn't force it either.
"The Emperor's Heart Ancestral Dragon is our dragon clan's business. Why should I tell you?" The man thought for a moment and said calmly.
"Are you from the dragon clan?" Nie Tian frowned and couldn't help but sighed in surprise.
He really didn't see that the man in front of him was actually from the dragon clan.
"Don't you believe it?" The man laughed, and then a stream of dragon energy surged out of his body, condensing into a faint dragon shadow outside his body.
"Hmm?" Nie Tian felt the dragon energy in the void and couldn't help frowning again, feeling even more strange.
Although he was not from the dragon clan, he had a deep connection with the dragon clan and knew a lot about dragon energy.
But he had never seen the dragon energy released by the person in front of him.
The dragon clan has many branches, and different races have different dragon energy.
Just like the four great ancestral dragons, each ancestral dragon is different.
But all dragon energy has one thing in common, that is, dragon intention!
Nie Tian was very sure that the person in front of him was releasing dragon energy, but he couldn't tell what kind of dragon energy it was.
"Do you believe it now?" The man's body shook slightly, the dragon energy dissipated, and then he stepped forward to leave.
"Wait a minute." But at this time, Nie Tian stopped him,
"What? Are you going to use force?" The man paused and sneered.
"If I were also a member of the dragon clan, would you be willing to tell me about the Emperor's Heart Ancestral Dragon?" Nie Tian smiled faintly, and a ball of dragon energy surged from his palm, and the invisible dragon intent was released immediately, causing the man's face to change in horror.
"How can your dragon energy be so strong?" The man was shocked and stagnant for several seconds before he trembled.
Obviously, he saw that Nie Tian's dragon energy was unusual and was deeply shocked.
"Can you tell me about the Emperor's Heart Ancestral Dragon now?" Nie Tian smiled faintly as the dragon energy in his palm dissipated.
The man was stunned for a moment, frowning deeply, and was obviously hesitating.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Finally, he nodded and prepared to speak.
"Be careful!" But at this moment, Chi Jian screamed again and looked up at the sky.
"Shua!" In an instant, a sound of breaking through the air came from the sky, extremely sharp, and a sharp blade whizzed down. Wherever it passed, the void shattered, and it came straight to the man to kill.
The man turned back suddenly, feeling the murderous intent, but he was unable to react.
At the critical moment, Chi Jian was quick-witted and slapped the man with a palm, and directly slapped him away.
"Boom!" The next moment, the terrifying sharp blade hit the ground, and the earth collapsed directly, forcing Nie Tian and Chi Jian to retreat again and again.
"Are you okay?" Chi Jian stabilized his body and immediately looked at Nie Tian beside him. After confirming that the latter was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Nie Tian frowned, and then moved to the man's side.
The man was hit by Chi Jian's palm, although it was just a fake hit, but it was also very powerful, and he was directly knocked unconscious.
Nie Tian checked his body and found that he was not injured, so he was relieved.
"Ancestor, what happened just now?" Nie Tian calmed down and looked at Chi Jian, with lingering fear.
It was too dangerous just now. If it weren't for Chi Jian's quick reaction, the man would have been killed.
It is obvious that someone has already targeted this person, and it seems that they don't want the matter of Emperor Heart Ancestral Dragon to be leaked, so they want to kill him to silence him.
"It seems that the matter of Emperor Heart Ancestral Dragon is not simple. We should not wade into this muddy water." Chi Jian did not explain anything, but sighed.
Nie Tian frowned, stared at the man on the ground for a long time, laughed, and said: "Ancestor, I have some origins with the dragon clan. I need to go and see the matter of Emperor Heart Ancestral Dragon in person."
Chi Jian's face sank, but he was not too surprised. He had expected that Nie Tian would not give up easily.
"Nie Tian, the dragon energy you just released is different from ordinary dragon energy." At this time, Chi Jian's eyes suddenly flickered and said: "If I am not mistaken, it should be the legendary wood dragon energy."
"Hmm?" Nie Tian frowned when he heard Chi Jian say the four words "herding dragon energy" and asked in surprise: "How did you know?"
