Chapter Thirty: Pursuing Life and Death

  Along with this crisp voice, another urgent hoofbeat came.

  "Let Grandfather suffer this great loss and still want to leave?" Miao Wenhong's voice was almost a shout, showing how deep his hatred for Ning Cheng had become.

  The boatmen who were trying to drum up business in Ning City and An Yi saw the lone-horned Stone Roarer beast rushing towards them, with Miao Wen Hong riding on its back. Their faces changed instantly. Without asking Ning a second question, they turned around and ran, and in just a short moment, they rushed onto their boat at the rocky dock by the sea. The next moment, the boat had set sail and entered the vast ocean.

  Ning Cheng didn't mind the boatman, what surprised him was that Miao Wen Hong actually dared to chase after him. Miao Wen Hong not only chased after him but also brought only one servant with an aura of six layers, without bringing anyone else.

  Just two people, thinking of taking down He and Anyi? He can kill a cultivator with five layers of Qi accumulation, why fear one with six layers.

  Ning Cheng naturally didn't know the reverse heavenly place of washing meridians with Xuan Huang's gas. Generally, a six-layer Qi gathering cultivator can kill two four-layer Qi gathering cultivators without much effort. Let alone in Miao Wenhong and his servant's eyes, Ning Cheng and An Yi were lambs waiting to be slaughtered, people who didn't have the slightest bit of combat experience.

  "Skin three, first get rid of this bastard, then I'll slowly make this kid understand..." Mu Wenhong hadn't even approached yet, but was already gritting his teeth and staring at Ning Cheng. Apparently in his eyes, the loss of face he suffered today in Mang City was all because of Ning Cheng.

  Pisan was an extremely loyal servant, and he seemed to understand the young master's intentions as well. Before Ning Cheng even appeared in front of him, he had already leapt off the unicorn and a white blade aura shot towards Ning Cheng like a swift and fierce dragon.

  This white-haired person's gaze swept towards Ning City's dual legs, and it seemed that he indeed did not plan to kill Ning City at the first opportunity.

  This is a magical artifact, and Ning Cheng understood it as soon as he sensed the aura of the knife. When he was fighting that Water Rust Face man with five layers of Qi gathering earlier, his opponent used an ordinary weapon, although its grade wasn't low, but weapons and artifacts are fundamentally different concepts.

  Pisan was just a house servant, yet he had a lot of valuable items on him. It seemed that Miao Wenhong had even more good things on her person.

  Ning Cheng didn't even think about it, at the same time that Bai Meng's sword energy came over, his flying sword had already landed in his hand, and a similar sword energy chopped forward.

  Pī Sān hadn't expected Níng Chéng to dare make a move, using just an ordinary sword to block his own magical artifact - this was simply asking for death.

  But Pi San's idea was completely shattered by the piercing crash, and Ning Cheng's sword in his hand not only did not break like tofu as he imagined, but also the huge true energy sword edge completely defeated his knife edge. The powerful true energy backlash came, and Pi San felt that his chest was hit by a huge iron hammer.

  Not good, this kid has hidden his cultivation, and it's absolutely the sixth layer of Qi gathering. His foundation is deep and his true energy is not even half a bit weaker than mine. Pi San was knocked back several steps by the powerful backlash, and at the same time, he also realized that Ning Cheng was not only not in the fourth layer of Qi gathering, but the magical instrument in his hand was also higher than his own.

  Pi San and Ning Cheng only exchanged blows for an instant, but from Ning Cheng's ferocious attack and his proactive charge, it was clear that if he couldn't defeat him today, both he and Young Master would be killed by this person. This was a reckless cultivator who seemed to have not considered the consequences of killing Young Master at all.

  "Ice... fire..." Pi San saw that Ning Cheng was unaffected, and another sword edge came over. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. He could no longer care about anything else, raised his hand and slapped out a talisman from his body. At the same time, under the surge of true energy, the knife in his hand had already brought up two different colored edges.

  On one side was ice, on the other was fire. Two completely different sword auras enveloped Ning City's sword aura, and Ning City suddenly felt his true energy stagnate. He felt that no matter whether he gathered his true energy to block the fire or the ice, he could only stop one of the sword auras, allowing the other to become even more powerful.

  It's not just Ning City, but any low-level cultivator who unleashes their true energy to attack an enemy will naturally produce a counter-attribute due to the opponent's true energy attribute. If the opponent is a fire-attribute cultivator, then when blocking the opponent's fire-attribute true energy attack, they will inevitably produce a true energy that counters fire attributes, which in turn weakens the ice attribute's counter. It's just that some low-level cultivators with rich combat experience have their own unique methods.

  Ning Cheng's battle experience was far from rich, and this knife with both fire and ice attributes immediately made him lose his focus.

  Ning Cheng blocked the flames, but the icy spear was unable to be completely blocked. Fortunately, his true energy was not weaker than the opponent's, and even the purity of his true energy was several times stronger than the opponent's. In a hurry, Ning Cheng's mind flashed with a few twisted movements, which were the twisted movements of the Water Rust Face Cultivator. At that time, he had launched six fire blades, and the opponent had only blocked three of them, while the other three had not been blocked, but had dodged past in a twisted manner.

  That twisted posture flashed through Ning City's mind in an instant, and by the time Pi San's icy spear arrived, Ning City had already learned this twisted method, twisting his body into a tilted hemp flower.

  "Poof......" A burst of blood light shot out, and Ning Cheng's heart actually relaxed. The ice spear from just now he hadn't completely dodged, but had avoided the vital spot, only suffering a slight injury.

  After Pi San's two ice and fire knives were cut out, his face suddenly turned pale, it can be seen that the two knives consumed him absolutely not small.

  Before he could react, Ning City's sword edge came again, mixed with several fire blades. Ning City's attack method was simple, except for using flying swords to attack, only the fire blade had a threat. His spiritual light just flashed and twisted to avoid, but it wasn't fully formed yet.

  Pisan was eager to kill Ning Cheng as soon as possible, but his true energy consumption was too great. At this moment, he clearly knew that Ning Cheng's sword edge was approaching, and he could only barely dodge the fatal blow. Ning Cheng's sword edge chopped past Pisan's shoulder, and Pisan, who had dodged the fatal blow, was directly torn open by several fire blades that Ning Cheng had slashed out from behind.

  Mu Wenhong, who was dazed on one side, saw Pi San being killed and only then realized that the battle had ended. The one who was killed was not Ning Cheng, but Pi San.

  "You actually killed Pi San..." Miao Wenhong still couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at Ning Cheng, Pi San had told him that Ning Cheng was only at the fourth level of Qi gathering, how could a fourth-level Qi gatherer possibly kill a sixth-level Qi gatherer? And that too when Pi San had unleashed his ultimate technique, Ice Fire Twin Blades.

  Ning Cheng felt his true energy recovering quickly, and he wouldn't bother with Miao Wen Hong. After killing Miao Wen Hong, he would escape to the Mang Huang Sea Domain, staying in this place was courting death.

  "You'd better wish yourself good luck." Ning Cheng said, his flying sword already slashing out.

  Miao Wenhong opened his mouth, didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy, and was directly split open by Ning Cheng's sword. Before he died, he still couldn't believe that in the Manggo Sea, there was actually someone who dared to kill him.

  Ning Cheng was extremely skilled in burning the two corpses, picking up their belongings and saying to An Yi, "An Yi, let's hurry up and ride these two unicorns far away."

  "Ning Ge, where are we going now?" An Yi had been with Ning Cheng for a while and knew that he was very decisive. She didn't find it strange that Ning Cheng had killed Miao Wen Hong and his servant.

  "Going out to sea, wasn't someone calling us to take a boat before? Since there's one boat, there will be a second one." Ning Cheng said with certainty. He had thought of this when he killed Mu Wen and Hong, if there was one boat going out to sea, there would be a second boat going out to sea. The Manggo Ocean is vast and boundless, and the people who come here are many, it's absolutely not something that can be satisfied with just one or two boats.

  An nodded, hesitated for a moment before asking somewhat doubtfully, "Ning big brother, I heard my master say that anyone who cultivates needs to cultivate a main attribute. This also requires having a main spiritual root; even if one doesn't have a main spiritual root, they need to find an auxiliary spiritual root suitable for themselves as their main attribute."

  Ning Cheng didn't wait for An Yi to finish speaking, he immediately understood what she meant and asked, "An Yi, you want to ask why Pi San can simultaneously cast ice and fire attribute spells, right?"

  Ning Cheng is no longer a complete novice, he has cultivated to the fourth layer of Qi gathering. In his cultivation, he also understands some principles. Fireball Technique, Waterball Technique and so on, these are the most basic spells that any attribute spiritual root can cast. However, the achievements are limited and cannot be used for combat.

  Pi San's Ice and Fire Twin Blades were already an extremely powerful spell, this is not something that can be explained by simply using basic spells.

  "Yes, I've been wondering how Pi San could simultaneously release two different attribute knife auras. If it were me, I really wouldn't know how to defend against it. Could it be that Pi San has two main attribute spiritual roots? Dual cultivation?" An Yi nodded and said.

  Ning Cheng laughed and said, "You may not know now, but when your cultivation is higher, you will understand. If Pi San had two main attribute spiritual roots and could cultivate both at the same time, then it wouldn't be him who died today. When he was casting his Ice Fire Twin Blades, he used a talisman, which should have been an auxiliary talisman."
