Chapter 59: Two Kinds of Killing Intent

  This is a long gun treasure, it must be so. Ning City couldn't move his feet after seeing this long gun.

  He didn't like using a flying sword against his enemies, he originally liked spears or powerful magical artifacts. Moreover, the magic he obtained was the spear technique 'Mystic Ice Thirty-six Spears', which made Ning City want to get a long spear even more. Unfortunately, he only had one flying sword and nothing else.

  Now there is a long gun here. Although the part of the long gun exposed to the ground has been broken, it still has infinite attraction for Ning City.

  No need to mention the cultivation of those who fought here, but being able to create such a massive battle scene, their cultivation can't be that bad. Two powerful cultivators fought here, how could the things they left behind be mediocre?

  Ning Cheng slowly moved towards the center of this ravine, originally he was at the edge of this ravine, and already felt the sharp and pervasive killing intent. When he stepped into the range of this battle, this strong killing intent immediately tore his clothes apart.

  A murderous aura swept across Ning Cheng's body, leaving dozens of shallow wounds all over him. The wounds were not deep, but the fresh blood that flowed out instantly dyed Ning Cheng's body red.

  Ning City didn't dare to take a second step, and the attraction of that long spear treasure also didn't make him leave this rugged terrain. He stopped and slowly circulated his true energy, wanting to heal his wounds while slowly advancing forward. Even if it took several more months, he had to get his hands on that long spear. Ning City already knew how difficult it was to refine elixirs and equipment. If he didn't obtain this spear-like treasure, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

  The true energy flowed along the meridians of Ning City, and the Xuan Huang Pearl, which had been stationary in the Zi Fu, suddenly began to rotate. Threads of Xuan Huang energy mixed with the true energy, filling the entire body of Ning City's meridians.

  Ning Cheng surprisingly sat down in this place filled with murderous aura, and two figures appeared in his mind. These two figures crisscrossed in the sky above the Great Ancestor Forest, one using a long spear and the other using a giant axe. The two of them danced in this space, their spear shadows and axe lights intersecting.

  In just a short time, this originally densely wooded area was ravaged, leaving only some charred tree stumps. The trajectory of the killing intent in the gun shadow seemed to be vaguely sensed by Ning Cheng, and his consciousness suddenly froze on a scene, where the figure holding the gun drew out the long gun treasure from his hand, and then shot out with one shot.

  This sword stirred up thousands of sword shadows, the killing intent in those sword shadows made Ning City breathless. So powerful, Ning City's heart was shocked, he suddenly became alert, he only felt a lingering long sword killing aura, and it was so unbearable. If he were to face such a terrible killing aura, he could only close his eyes and wait for death. Or maybe not even need to wait for death, as soon as that terrible killing aura came out, it could completely annihilate him.

  This dense and ferocious gun shadow almost swept across the entire Da'an Forest, as if it was going to tear the entire Da'an Forest apart.

  He didn't know how to resist the shadow of the giant axe against this terrible destructive gun shadow. But he also vaguely felt that this gun seemed to have a kind of inexplicable strangeness.

  Suddenly, his brain was violently painful, and he could no longer catch the figure wielding a giant axe. He could only feel a terrible tearing pain thundering in his mind, and the next moment he spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Ning Cheng's face turned somewhat pale after spitting out a mouthful of blood, but he still didn't retreat. Instead, he slowly stood up, raised his hand, and the flying sword appeared in his hand. At the same time, his flying sword transformed into a long spear that stabbed outwards.

  "Whoosh" like the sound of a sharp arrow shooting out, Ning City's flying sword brought up a long sword aura, tearing open the surrounding killing intent. Or it can be said that Ning City's this one sword has already strangled all the surrounding killing intent, making the surrounding killing intent have no effect on him at all.

  Is this the skin of that one gun? Ning Cheng's heart was filled with boundless excitement, he couldn't believe that he could comprehend such a gun in a place like this. If he fully comprehended this gun, his combat strength would rise by more than just one level.

  No, Ning City suddenly stopped, the joy on his face disappeared instantly without a trace. A clear flaw in this move appeared in his mind, and it was a fatal flaw.

  At first, the figure wielding the long spear did not have a way to transform one spear into countless equally frightening spear shadows. He used auxiliary spears. That's right, auxiliary spears, because that person was still unable to truly sweep across the two people fighting with just one spear, so he used multiple auxiliary spears to assist.

  It's precisely because of this that the gun shadow seems to have an opening. If the person wielding the giant axe seizes this opening, the one casting the gun shadow will undoubtedly lose.

  Ning Cheng's face turned pale once again, he saw the ravine in front of him, and at the same time, he clearly understood that the person who had fired the gun was definitely the loser. The ravine in front of him was a deep ditch leading forward, and the surrounding ridges were relatively much thinner, and the killing intent was also much weaker.

  Ning Cheng's face turned pale because he had also grasped the superficiality of this move. In other words, in the future when facing others, as long as his opponent seized the weakness of this move, he would suffer a similar crushing defeat.

  Even if he didn't use his auxiliary gun, this shot he came up with was still unpolished and had a hint of flaw.

  Although he knew that the person who made the gun was unable to make this gun, and this gun had an irreparable flaw. However, psychologically speaking, Ning Cheng was still on the side of the gun maker, because he also wanted to use the gun as his own treasure. Similarly, Ning Cheng finally understood what the half-broken gun in the ditch was, it should be the auxiliary gun of the gun maker. After the gun maker lost, he didn't even have the ability to take back his auxiliary gun. It can be seen that he was utterly defeated.

  But Ning Cheng quickly threw away this idea, his current cultivation wanting to contend with such a master was just a dream, so he didn't need to think too much. In the future when he could contend with such a master, or perhaps he had already made up for the flaw of this move.

  Throwing away this idea, the fierce and murderous aura of that one shot was once again grasped by Ning Cheng, his mind becoming increasingly clear about this shot.

  Ning Cheng had no idea that what he caught wasn't a killing intent, but a hint of gun intent.

  If someone knew about Ning Cheng's cultivation of gathering aura, they could sense the scene of the battle at that time through the killing intent and even grasp a thread of gun intent. Then, even if Ning Cheng was hiding in the sky, he would be caught out and torn apart bit by bit for study.

  Ning Cheng also knew why he could sense such a terrible battle scene, it had nothing to do with his qualifications, but because of the Xuan Huang Pearl.

  Only a few breaths later, Ning Cheng let out a loud shout, and with a wave of his hands, that one shot of gun intent was activated by him. The killing intent around him, which had little effect on him to begin with, grew even thinner.

  Ning Cheng was overjoyed in his heart and quickened his pace. He had originally planned to spend several months getting that one broken gun, but he didn't expect that just by grasping a thread of killing intent, he could move so quickly through this battlefield ravine.

  It was just a moment of fragrance, and Ning City had already arrived near the broken gun. Just as Ning City wanted to take a step forward and grab the broken gun in his hand, a more fierce killing intent came over and directly hit Ning City's chest.

  This killing intent was even more ferocious and cruel than the one left by the long spear earlier, and Ning City was blown flying out by this terrifying killing intent. At the same time as another mouthful of blood spurted out, a giant axe shadow appeared in Ning City's consciousness.

  Ning Cheng stood up with a quiver, still feeling his legs trembling slightly. This had nothing to do with fear, but the killing intent of that giant axe was too terrifying, leaving him completely unable to resist.

  "That's the axe shadow that broke through his defense, it's too formidable." Ning Cheng muttered to himself after a long while.

  At this time, Ning Cheng was very clear that if he couldn't block the killing intent of this giant axe, he wouldn't have any way to retrieve the broken spear. Even though the long spear was within arm's reach, he could only look at it.

  "Damn it!" Ning Cheng looked at the internal armor on his chest, which had already been blasted with a scar. He spat out a mouthful of saliva and said, "I'm going to get this gun today."

  Ning Cheng, who had made up his mind, cautiously approached the gorge with a massive axe's killing intent. Just as he was about to get close, that terrifying axe shadow came crashing down again, sending him flying out once more.

  He continued to sense the axe's shadow and then stepped forward once again.

  Blown open, hurt, gained insight, moved forward... Blown open again, hurt again, gained insight again, moved forward again...

  Ning Cheng was repeatedly bombed and injured, but each time he went forward with a deeper understanding.

  Time slipped away in this repetition, and the killing intent of that axe shadow gradually became clear in Ning City's consciousness.

  One move forward, majestic and boundless, with no room for retreat or hesitation, this is the momentum of this axe.

  No matter in terms of momentum or killing intent, this axe shadow was much more intense and powerful than the gun intent Ning Cheng had felt before. This wasn't because the person wielding the axe had a higher cultivation level than the person who used the gun, but rather because one was the killing intent of someone who had won, while the other was the killing intent of someone who had lost - these two were fundamentally incomparable.

  Ning Cheng couldn't remember how many times he had been blasted open. There wasn't a single unscathed spot on his body, and even his face was covered in scars.

  But he was not surprised and delighted, rushed forward again, and the flying sword in his hand slashed out. This time he used his flying sword as a giant axe, and slashed it out like this.

  The sword energy stirred up the killing intent around the ditch, emitting bursts of 'crackling' explosions. In an instant, Ning City stopped in his tracks, and right before his eyes was the ditch. The killing intent that had easily blown him away earlier could no longer blow him back half a step.

  Ning Cheng stood before the chasm created by the giant axe, with waves of realization appearing in his mind. He didn't know how long it took, but Ning Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and his body emitted a series of soft, subtle sounds. The powerful true energy within him was like flowing water, its sound becoming increasingly clear.

  A hint of surprise appeared in Ning Cheng's eyes, this was his first time advancing without relying on the spirit stone or any external resources. He was able to advance and become a Qi Gathering Ninth Layer cultivator solely because he had grasped the two types of killing intent here.

  (Third update, requesting support from Sanjiang votes. I saw someone in the book review section say that this book says alchemy is a minor path, but actually it needs to be understood slightly. This saying that alchemy is a minor path is not the meaning of the book, nor is it Ning Cheng's meaning, but rather Lao Yu's meaning. Lao Yu can only represent her own feelings, she cannot represent any path.)
