Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 104: Netherworld Demon Blood, The Human Emperor Dao Body Dies with a Smile!
Ning Xuan showed them the answer with his actions!
Faced with the aggressive punch, Ning Xuan did not retreat and threw a punch of his own.
An earth-shattering explosion erupted. In front of the Martial Arts powerhouses standing more than a hundred feet away, a thunderous crackling filled the air! It was the sound of the terrifying shockwaves from the duel smashing against their Protective Gang Qi.
At the center of the duel, the swirling dust and sand suddenly condensed into two massive hands, which clashed again high in the air.
Below, the two Nings traded another punch. They were still evenly matched!
Ning Yang’s Dao Body had grown stronger, yet it still could not defeat Ning Xuan!
"Where’s your Bloodline? If you don’t use it now, you won’t get another chance!" Ning Xuan shouted at Ning Yang’s Dao Body.
Not to be outdone, he retorted, "And your swordsmanship? Why are you not using it?"
CLANG!
Without another word, Ning Xuan’s sword light pierced the air.
The last time they fought, he had used his Sword Qi to shatter the Sword Domain. This time, Ning Xuan hoped Ning Yang’s Dao Body would put on an even more stunning performance. He would be very disappointed if it was the same Sword Domain as before.
Thankfully, Ning Yang lived up to his reputation as a great rival. His Dao Body possessed the same combat power as his true self at the same Realm, and he could clearly cultivate it to keep it progressing toward perfection.
SWOOSH!
Ning Xuan attacked, his Sword Qi stretching out for ninety miles!
A treasured sword radiating a cold, piercing light appeared in the hand of Ning Yang’s Dao Body. Its Sword Qi was vast, and its Sword Intent was boundless!
CLANG!
After a single strike, the two of them instantly swapped places.
A bloody line appeared on the neck of Ning Yang’s Dao Body, and Ning Xuan had an identical one.
"My dear brother, what did you think of that strike?" Ning Yang’s Dao Body asked, his words full of pride.
Ning Xuan replied with a smile, "Very good. You didn’t disappoint me!"
My cousin’s progress is truly impressive. Last time, he couldn’t even match me with his Sword Domain, but this time he actually managed to injure me with just Sword Qi! Indeed, Si Lanyi was right. After obtaining my Bloodline, Ning Yang must have had some other fortuitous encounter! And it might be just as significant as my own. After all, to have a Dao Body in the same Realm but with a completely different Bloodline... that in itself defies the heavens!
"What other tricks do you have? Let’s see them!" Ning Yang’s Dao Body spoke again, his words dripping with provocation.
Ning Xuan answered with his actions.
HUM!
The Soft Sword hummed as Ning Xuan thrust it forward. It did not seem like anything special, but the eyes of Ning Yang’s Dao Body suddenly narrowed.
That wasn’t a single thrust! It was thrust after thrust, layered on top of each other! His opponent’s striking speed is simply unbelievable.
Sword Twenty-Four!
CLANG!
Ning Yang’s Dao Body retaliated with full force, a black gleam flashing on his wrist! It was his Bloodline Power!
A physique Bloodline even more powerful than the Nine Nether Divine Body was activated!
More than a hundred feet away, the King Realm Martial Artists were all seized by heart palpitations, overcome with an impulse to prostrate themselves in worship! It was terrifying!
If even King Realm experts were so affected, what hope was there for those in the Human Realm? Even an ordinary Heavenly Realm Martial Artist would not be able to summon the courage to resist, much less escape! They would be annihilated where they stood, unable to do anything but watch!
A layer of eerie black light coated the treasured sword in the hand of Ning Yang’s Dao Body, radiating a terrifying Majestic Pressure.
But this was of no use against Ning Xuan. His sword was unstoppable, advancing relentlessly! He would not hesitate to strike, whether it was a man, a god, or a demon before him!
BANG!
When the treasured sword of Ning Yang’s Dao Body collided with Ning Xuan’s, it shattered like plaster. Before the fragments could even scatter, the terrifying Sword Qi disintegrated them into dust!
PFFT!
The sword’s momentum did not slow as it pierced straight through the heart of Ning Yang’s Dao Body!
Ning Yang’s Dao Body was still smiling.
Before Wawa could even cry out a warning, Ning Xuan’s fist had already blasted domineeringly toward the space above his head. The void suddenly cracked open, and a massive hand wreathed in black qi was blasted apart in the sky!
That was the finishing blow, conjured by Ning Yang’s Dao Body using his Bloodline Power! He had used himself as bait, waiting for the exact moment his body was pierced!
The smile on the face of Ning Yang’s Dao Body froze.
"I knew you were holding back with your punch. Did you think I was not?" Ning Xuan’s cold voice rang out.
His left hand shot out like lightning. When he pulled it back, he was holding a mass of ink-black Bloodline!
BOOM!
A wisp of energy overflowed from between Ning Xuan’s fingers, instantly manifesting a colossal phantom in the void! It was pitch-black, yet it emitted a terrifying aura that could suppress the nine heavens and ten earths and devour all living things!
"That’s the manifestation of the legendary Netherworld Demonic Body!" an elder who had read the ancient texts exclaimed in horror.
Another person, their expression filled with alarm, quickly asked, "What is the Netherworld Demonic Body?!"
"The Netherworld Demonic Body is also called the Dark Demonic Body or the Devouring Demonic Body. Once you are tainted by its darkness, even your Divine Soul will be completely devoured!"
HISS!
Everyone present gasped and retreated in unison.
"Hmph!"
Over there, Ning Xuan snorted. The phantom that was surging forward to devour him shattered into nothingness.
At the same time, Ning Xuan opened his palm and slashed with his fingers as if they were a blade. Strand after strand of black energy was severed by his Supreme Sword Qi!
The pupils of Ning Yang’s Dao Body, which had not yet collapsed, constricted sharply.
"How is this possible?!"
The elder who had recognized the Netherworld Demonic Body stared with eyes as wide as saucers, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"What’s he doing?" the others asked, confused.
"He... He’s using Sword Qi to sever the demonic nature from the Bloodline! He’s leaving only the purest bloodline power!" After speaking, the elder stared at Ning Xuan as if he were looking at a god or a demon! He could not believe he was witnessing such a technique from a youth at the Earth Realm!
"To subdue a Bloodline stronger than your own, you didn’t hesitate to use your Primordial Source. Hahaha, that must have been difficult for you!" Ning Yang’s Dao Body suddenly burst out laughing. "So what if I give it to you? My true body has not only gathered the five great Bloodlines but has also fused them into one. Next, I will walk the path of self-slaying! Take it! I will be waiting for you in the Emperor Realm..."
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Ning Xuan had thrown the True Blood to a dog!
Xiao Bai leaped into the air and swallowed it whole!
Ning Yang’s Dao Body was stunned.
Wawa was stunned.
The surrounding Martial Artists were all stunned.
None of them expected Ning Xuan to do such a thing! That was the legendary Netherworld Demon Blood! Once consumed, it would bring unimaginable benefits. But Ning Xuan, without a moment’s hesitation, had given it to a dog!
Ning Yang’s Dao Body was the first to snap. He shouted angrily, "Ning Xuan, what are you doing? Are you trying to insult me? Well, you’ve succeeded! But without a Bloodline that surpasses the Nine Nether Divine Body, you are not even qualified to see my true body!"
Ning Xuan smiled faintly. "Strength is not determined by a drop of blood, a piece of bone, or even a heart. You used your Bloodline Power, so what? Were you not still pierced through the heart by my sword?"
Ning Yang’s Dao Body fell silent. Only then did he remember: Ning Xuan had not used his own Bloodline Power at all.
But then, Ning Yang’s Dao Body laughed. "It seems my true body was right to choose the path of self-slaying. By shedding the divine and becoming mortal, I will grow even stronger."
"This time, you have taught me something new. I look forward to meeting you at the peak of the Human Realm soon."
With those words, Ning Yang’s Dao Body slapped his own crown. He died with a smile on his face.
Not far away, the spectating Martial Artists wore complex expressions. Then, in the eyes of some, a glint of greed appeared.
