Chapter Fifty-Seven: Zhan Ningzhen

  Ning Cheng rushed out of Nan Yuan City at the fastest speed. After leaving Nan Yuan City, Ning Cheng finally let out a sigh of relief.

  To be honest, Lan Yueyue really isn't afraid. Although Lan Yueyue is already at the eighth level of Condensing Truth, Ning Cheng has learned from Fang Yixing that due to the scarcity of spiritual energy and resources in Pingzhou, the cultivation methods of Pingzhou have inherent defects, making them weaker in terms of divine sense. In other words, although Lan Yueyue is at the eighth level of Condensing Truth, her actual cultivation is not up to the eighth level of Condensing Truth.

  Ning City was afraid of the Ming Xin Academy's Zhuyuan Realm cultivator. Once he was blocked by the Zhuyuan Realm cultivator in Nan Yuan City, he really couldn't escape.

  According to Ning Cheng's idea, as long as he left Nan Yuan City, it would be equivalent to being safe. He would find a deserted place and ride his sword to fly towards the Da'an Forest. Then, through the Da'an Forest, enter Yangzhou.

  As soon as Ning Cheng left Nanjing City, he felt like someone was staring at him.

  Ning Cheng hastened his pace, not having much worry in his heart. If he was being targeted by a Yuan Ying stage cultivator, then even if he wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to escape. But if it was a Congealing Truth stage cultivator targeting him, then he didn't need to fear at all.

  In Ning City's view, a Jiyuan boundary cultivator would absolutely not be bored enough to come and spy on an air-gathering cultivator. In Nan Yuan City, this possibility was zero.

  An hour later, the person following Ning City suddenly sped up. At this time, Ning City had already seen clearly that the person following him was Miao Litiger, the wolf king of Manggo City. He knew that Miao Litiger hated him to the bone and couldn't believe that this person was so relentless, even chasing him all the way to Nan Yuan City. Fortunately, An Yi was highly valued at Ming Xin Academy, otherwise An Yi would have been in danger.

  Half a year ago, he couldn't see Miao Lihu's cultivation clearly, but now he could see at a glance that Miao Lihu was a cultivator of the fourth layer of condensing reality. A cultivator of the fourth layer of condensing reality still can't fly with a sword, and Ning Cheng really didn't put Miao Lihu in his eyes.

  For him, Muli Hu's arrival was just in time, allowing him to try out the power of Qīyào Bīng Zhēn.

  "You little beast, even if you escape again, I'll burn you to ashes and bury you with my son!" Miao Litou saw Ning Cheng stop suddenly, and immediately pounced on him, blocking his path and shouting loudly. In his opinion, Ning Cheng should have been scared stiff by now.

  Ning Cheng said slowly, "Miao Li Hu, you can show off your might in Mang Guo City, but here, you don't have the qualifications to be arrogant. What I don't understand is how did you know that I just left the city? Could it be that someone sent a message for you?"

  Miao Lihu saw Ning Cheng and wasn't stunned, but rather spoke slowly and calmly. Suddenly he was stunned. However, he immediately reacted and said loudly, "Go die for me..."

  As they spoke, a blood-colored long rainbow in his hand had already split towards Ning City. He hated Ning City to the bone and really didn't want to wait another moment.

  "Hum......" A blood-red arc flashed through the air, accompanied by a extremely mournful humming sound, almost completely sealing off the surrounding activity space of Ning City.

  The originally clear and sunny environment immediately turned gloomy and dark under the blood-colored long rainbow drawn by Miao Lihuo. It was as if countless vengeful spirits, spewing bloody mist, rushed towards Ning City.

  Under this bloody sky, Ning City was somewhat dazed. He clearly knew he should quickly dodge, but being enveloped by this overwhelming blood color made him feel a bit bewildered.

  The Xuan Huang bead's aura caused the bloody aura covering Ning Cheng's body to dissipate, and Ning Cheng suddenly became alert. Without hesitation, he circulated his true qi and swung the flying sword in his hand, striking out with a single slash.

  Jian Hong's true energy surged in Ning City, and a gap was split open in the bloody light. Ning City squeezed out of the gap in the first time. Even so, one of the blood-colored rainbow lights had already struck Ning City's chest.

  "Boom......" Ning City had just left this bloody aura, a violent explosion suddenly erupted in the place where he originally stayed.

  Ning Cheng was shocked to discover that the place where he had been just a moment before had been blasted open, revealing a massive deep pit. The pit seemed to be stained with a dark red color, as if it had been splattered with blood for a long time. He subconsciously looked down and saw that his chest was torn open, exposing the inner armor that Lao Mu had given him.

  Ning Cheng's heart still had some lingering fear, if he didn't have the inner armor, that blood-colored rainbow sword just now would have cut open a deep wound on his chest.

  Slowly exhaling, Ning Cheng only then clearly saw the magical instrument in Miao Li Hu's hand, which was actually a large blood-colored banner covered with faint skulls. The blood-colored rainbow and those gloomy auras that enveloped the rainbow crystal on his chest were all brought out by this blood-colored banner.

  If it weren't for the Xuan Huang Pearl, he would have been killed by now. Ning Cheng was secretly regretful at the same time, and also knew that his fighting experience was not small, but most of them were with demon beasts. And he, a Qi gathering cultivator, dared to underestimate Miao Li Hu, a Condensing Truth Cultivator, wasn't this courting death?

  Even a mediocre cultivator of the Congenital Realm is not someone to be trifled with.

  Ning Cheng no longer dared to be careless, and the flying sword in his hand brought up a circle of sword aura, rushing towards Miao Lihu.

  "Huh......" Miao Li Hu stared at the huge pit he had blasted out in shock, a cultivator of the fourth layer of Qi gathering could escape his Blood Soul Banner, it was still the first time he saw.

  In his view, this was simply an impossible thing, even a four-layer cultivator of Qi gathering would not be able to escape from his Blood-colored Banner of Resentful Souls.

  Ning Cheng, this four-layered cultivator of the Gathering Qi stage, not only escaped his Blood Soul Banner but also counterattacked with a flying sword.

  Eight icy sword tips seemed to freeze the surrounding space. Completely sealing off his surroundings, leaving him no room for counterattack.

  "You're not a Qi Gatherer..." Mu Lei Hu exclaimed in shock before swinging the blood-colored banner in his hand once again.

  Even the most powerful Qi gatherers cannot wield such a majestic ice sword aura, and yet there are eight consecutive ones. These eight sword auras, although still unable to merge into one piece, are already enough to threaten the life of a Condensed Truth cultivator. Once they merge into one piece, even he would find it extremely difficult to resist.

  A cultivator of the fourth layer of Qi gathering could form such a terrifying Xuanbing sword energy, he couldn't believe it no matter what.

  After the shock, he quickly calmed down. Ning Cheng's move was indeed formidable, but he still believed he could take him down.

  "Hiss...!" The blood-colored banner rose, casting a bloody shadow, and Ning City's Xuanbing sword clashed with it. The air was filled with hissing sounds, as if the fabric of the air itself was being torn apart.

  The eight mysterious ice sword auras were weakened instantly by the sweep of the blood-colored banner. Mu Li Hu's heart was filled with joy, as the weaker the eight mysterious ice sword auras became, the less they could condense into one entity. As long as he suppressed Ning Cheng's eight mysterious ice sword auras, he believed that Ning Cheng would be at his mercy.

  At this moment, among the eight mysterious ice sword auras and the blood-colored great banner, four more mysterious ice sword auras suddenly appeared out of thin air. As soon as these four mysterious ice sword auras emerged, the original eight mysterious ice sword auras that were scattered in different locations instantly merged into one piece. It was like a sword net, completely freezing the blood-colored great banner within the net.

  "This is a Xuan-level sword technique..." Mu Lihou's soul was shocked, he couldn't believe that Ning City actually had a Xuan-level sword technique. He didn't have this sword technique, but that didn't mean he didn't recognize its value. This treasure, even the Three-Star Academy might not necessarily have it, and yet this ant in his eyes actually possessed such a terrifying sword technique.

  At the moment he saw that it was a mysterious level sword technique, Miao Lihu knew that if he didn't leave, he would really lose his life in this place today.

  He always felt that Ning Cheng's true yuan was not as deep as his, but when he fought with Ning Cheng, there were some awkward moments. Now he finally understood, it was because Ning Cheng used a Xuan-grade sword technique.

  Miao Lihu didn't know that his guess was wrong from the start, Ning Cheng's true strength wasn't inferior to his. When he fought against Ning Cheng, he always felt a bit awkward, not because of Ning Cheng's use of the Mystic Ice Thirty-six Swords, but because Ning Cheng's divine sense manipulation was far stronger than his.

  In the battle of masters, divine intent is a decisive thing. Miao Li Hu didn't even realize the importance of divine intent, it's strange that he wasn't at a disadvantage. In other words, as long as his divine intent was similar to Ning Cheng's, Ning Cheng would absolutely not be his opponent, this is the difference.

  Miao Lihu didn't care about the Blood-colored Great Banner being damaged by Xuan Bing's sword energy, and with a loud explosion, he retreated quickly with the banner. He no longer wanted to fight Ning Cheng.

  At this moment, a faint and subtle shadow emerged from the gap of the blood-colored great banner and disappeared into Miao Li Hu's body in an instant.

  Miao Lihuo, who had been retreating in a frenzy, suddenly froze for a moment. He stared blankly at Ning Cheng, wanting to say something, but the next instant he felt his heart explode like an iron hammer striking, bursting open.

  His heart exploded and he fell to the ground with a look of unwillingness in his eyes.

  "How can it be so powerful?" Ning Cheng looked at Mu Liehu who had fallen to the ground and muttered.

  Xuan Bing's Thirty-Six Swords had already given him a surprise, but the Seven Day Ice Needle gave him an even bigger one, which he never expected. He thought Miao Li Hu would be ambushed by the Seven Day Ice Needle and still have some room to counterattack, but he didn't even have half a chance to resist. This made Ning Cheng realize that he had underestimated his own Seven Day Ice Needle.
