Chapter 23: Crazy Escape

  As soon as Ning City vaguely saw the two shadows, he only had the idea of escaping. When he first arrived at the outer periphery of the Manggo Sea, he had seen two extremely fast shadows breaking through the air, and the impression they gave him was really too deep.

  Thinking of the Unicorn Beast being torn in half, a good and hard roadside was scratched out with a dozen zhangs of ravines, and behind that terrible explosion. Ning City would not know, this is another two extremely powerful masters fighting?

  This kind of master fight, staying here is absolutely courting death, the farther you escape the better. The two fighting masters won't even notice him, a small three-layer Qi gatherer, so the faster he escapes the better.

  As for fleeing to the side, Ning City knew that Ye Dao people were fleeing backwards. He was originally thinking about how to avoid Ye Dao people, and now he had the opportunity, it's clear that he wouldn't flee in the same direction as Ye Dao people. Moreover, he must have thought that Ye Dao people wouldn't care about his escape route at this time, guessing that he himself was anxious to run faster.

  After a while, An Yi whispered in Ning Cheng's arms, "Ning brother, I can get down and escape on my own, let me go."

  Ning Cheng only then discovered himself fleeing in a panic, and unexpectedly still had An Yi clutched in his arms.

  Ning Cheng let go of An Yi at the same time, and in his heart he was also rejoicing. Fortunately, those two fighting guys weren't coming this way. If they were also coming this way, he would have been dead for sure.

  An Yi followed Ning Cheng for a while before asking, "Ning brother, don't you want to team up with that Taoist?"

  An Yi doesn't understand how to deal with people, but that's not because she's stupid. Ning Cheng's behavior has already made it very clear.

  Ning Cheng suddenly remembered the incident on the beast carriage earlier and quickly took off the package on his back, threw the two route maps to the ground, and handed the package to An Yi, saying, "An Yi, can you put this package in your storage bag?"

  "It's okay." An Yi nodded and didn't think much, directly putting the package Ning Cheng gave her into the storage bag. Then she asked, "Do we still need to escape now?"

  "Not only must we escape, but also speed up, let's change direction a bit, the farther we run, the better." Ning City said as he slightly changed direction and continued to sprint wildly.

  An Yi naturally followed Ning Cheng's lead, wherever he went, she would follow.

  Ning Cheng and An Yi were both at the third layer of Qi gathering, and they were both fleeing with all their might. Their speed was incredibly fast. After more than half a day, the sky had already darkened, and some sounds of seawater hitting rocks could be heard. Ning Cheng stopped and said, "We should be close to the seaside by now, there's no need to continue escaping. Let's find a place to hide first."

  Just as Ning Cheng finished speaking, a loud "Boom" echoed through the air, and a black shadow heavily fell from the sky.

  The sudden loud noise scared Ning City so much that she quickly retreated while pulling An Yi, until they were dozens of meters away before turning back to look at the shadow that had fallen from the sky.

  A man covered in blood lay on the beach, apparently having just fallen from the sky. His head was only half a foot away from crashing into a massive boulder. It's unknown whether this person was lucky or had control over his fall.

  "Two of you, help me..." The blood-stained man did not faint, but instead weakly called out to Ning Cheng and An Yi.

  Ning Cheng didn't move, he saw An Yi take a step forward and immediately pulled her back without making a sound. This world isn't every seriously injured person as kind-hearted as him. The man who fell on the beach was seriously injured, but Ye Mo couldn't see his cultivation clearly. Ning Cheng vaguely guessed that this person's cultivation was definitely above Condensing Reality.

  Moreover, there was another reason why Ning City was unwilling to offer assistance. He vaguely felt that this person was the one who had previously fought with someone else in mid-air and killed the Unicorn Stone Roar Beast, almost taking his own life as well. Someone who would engage in a fierce battle without regard for innocent lives was absolutely ruthless and cruel.

  "I've been plotted against, I ask you two to consider our shared profession and lend me a hand." The seriously injured man said sincerely.

  Ning Cheng whispered to An Yi, "An Yi, just follow one step behind me."

  An Yi didn't have any doubts about Ning Cheng's words. Ning Cheng told her to follow him, so she naturally stuck close behind him.

  The man who fell to the ground with serious injuries saw Ning City and An Yi coming over, seemed to have let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you two Taoist friends, I am from Mang Guo City, will definitely thank you again..."

  Ning Cheng hastily said, "No need, just as fellow Daoist said earlier, we are all fellow practitioners, this small matter is really nothing."

  Ning Cheng was not certain if the person in front of him was the one who had massacred people previously, but he was on guard nonetheless. At the same time, he also knew that regardless of whether it was him or not, his cultivation was vastly different from his opponent's. Fortunately, his opponent was heavily injured and couldn't even get up.

  When Ning City was less than two zhang away from the man, Ning City suddenly and inexplicably pulled An Yi to one side. Two zhang is the most threatening distance for Wind Blade, in Ning City's view, since the opponent was heavily injured, even if their cultivation was higher, their true yuan would be limited. Except for being able to cast some wind blade techniques or fireball techniques, they shouldn't have any way to cast other spells.

  Whether it's Wind Blade or Fireball, the most threatening distance is two zhang. He doesn't care if his opponent will do this or not, he dodges first and talks later. Otherwise, even if his opponent is heavily injured, he might not be able to dodge.

  "Hmph..." A streak of blood light flashed by, and two gusts of wind blades flashed past Ning Cheng and An Yi's sides.

  Although Ning Cheng dodged first, he was still a bit slow, and the wind blade cut out a bloody mouth on his waist, and fresh blood spurted out instantly.

  Ning Cheng's hidden passage was quite dangerous. If he hadn't cleverly dodged to the side, these two wind blades would have ripped him and An Yi open from chest to belly.

  After being swept by the wind blade, Ning City almost burst out a fire blade in the first time. He felt that his fire blade was more powerful than the wind blade. He didn't choose to escape at the first time, this guy's cultivation was high, but to kill him, he had to be deceived to get close, obviously the injury was already very serious.

  Huā Jiàn Níng Chéng had long been prepared, he was originally on high alert when he came, and now that his vigilance had been wounded by the Wind Blade, how could he not immediately release the Fire Blade?

  After Ning Cheng's first Fire Blade was sent out, An Yi immediately reacted and simultaneously released two Wind Blades.

  The man who fell to the ground did not think that a mere three-layered Qi gathering could avoid his Wind Blade within two zhang. This was completely beyond his expectations, and in his opinion, even if it were a four-layered Qi gathering or above, he would still be unable to dodge at this distance. He was shocked and had yet to react when Ning Cheng's Fire Blade arrived.

  A blade of flame cut through his waist with unerring accuracy, and the man's body, already dyed red with blood, was instantly stained again on one side.

  "...Wait..." The man only said one word "wait", and An Yi's two wind blades also came at the same time.

  Ning Cheng would not show any mercy, at this moment he had already understood the survival rules of this world and absolutely could not be soft-hearted towards his enemies. Moreover, opportunities must be seized in the first instance, he almost simultaneously launched several wind blades as soon as Huo Jian was released.

  These several wind blades and An Yi's wind blade together cut the man who had fallen to the ground into several segments.

  If Ning Cheng's hands were shaking the first time he beheaded Gu Fei, it was only because the threat to his life at the time made him forget his fear of killing. Now, as he beheaded the man who had plotted against him, there wasn't a hint of discomfort.

  It was An Yi's face that turned pale, it was her first time killing someone in the true sense. Fortunately, she was just an accomplice. Even so, she still couldn't understand why this man wanted to kill them when they were there to save him. If not for Ning Cheng, she would have been killed already.

  She had also saved Ning City like this before, but why was Ning City so good to her? An Yi subconsciously took a glance at Ning City's pale face and suddenly remembered that Ning City had been struck by the Wind Blade, hastily taking out some medicinal powder to sprinkle on Ning City's wound.

  Ning Cheng's triple-layered Qi gathering technique had already stopped the bleeding, and now An Yi had applied medicine powder, so the wound was no longer bleeding.

  An Yi let out a sigh of relief, or perhaps this world, like Ning City, actually didn't have many people like her master.

  Ning Cheng took a few steps forward and arrived in front of the man he had just killed, then reached out to pull down the storage bag at his waist.

  At the same time, he patted him a few more times and fished out a jade token. Ning Cheng didn't even have time to see what the jade token was, and directly said to An Yi, "An Yi, let's hurry up and burn this guy with a fireball, then let's go quickly."

  An Yi knew this was not the time for questions, and like Ning Cheng, the two of them continuously cast fireballs. Until they had burned the man to a crisp, only then did Ning Cheng throw the charred remains into the sea.

  "Brother Ning, what's going on now..." An Yi looked at Ning Cheng with increasing anxiety. She and her master had lived in Lan Xin Temple before, but nothing like this had ever happened. How long had she been out? This wasn't the first time something like this had occurred.

  Ning Cheng said in a low voice, "Let's hurry up and leave, the farther and faster we go, the better."

  The two of them changed direction again and ran desperately once more. It wasn't until the sky was about to lighten up after half a night that Ning Cheng and An Yi finally stopped.

  At this time, the two were in a vast expanse of coral reefs, and Ning Cheng found a cave under a huge reef. After hiding in the cave, they finally had time to catch their breath.

  The sound of waves crashing against the reef outside and that faint light finally made Ning City's hanging heart relax a bit. He had never thought that one day he would be running around for his own life.

  "Ning Ge, how did you dodge so quickly just now? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge that Wind Blade." An Yi was still a bit frightened. If Ning Cheng hadn't pulled her over, she would have been caught off guard by the man's Wind Blade on the beach.

  Ning Cheng let out a breath and said, "When I went there, I felt that something was off about that person. It seems I didn't misjudge him. Wait for me for a moment, my injuries are quite severe and need to be treated."

  Ning Cheng didn't have any good way to treat his injuries, so he used the same method as last time, constantly circulating and modifying his internal energy to rapidly recover from his wounds.

  However, Ning Cheng's true energy hadn't even circulated for a full cycle when his complexion suddenly changed drastically.
