Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 109: When Your Strength Increases, Remember to Come and Kill Me!
BANG!
A colossal force blasted through the void, sending the King Realm expert flying. His offensive techniques crumbled to dust. As he scrambled to stabilize himself, his mind reeled with questions, for he had gotten a clear look at the perpetrator. It was the dog!
Who am I?! Where am I?! Why did this happen?!
Three questions surfaced in his mind almost simultaneously. Then—
WOOF!
A torrent of purple-black light erupted from Xiao Bai. The dog’s form swelled in size as it lunged, sinking its teeth into the man’s neck.
SPURT!
Blood vessels burst. More than half his neck was gone.
"Vile beast!" Enraged, the Martial Artist blasted Xiao Bai away with a single strike.
Xiao Bai shot off like a white speck, disappearing over the horizon.
The man clutched his neck, sitting up and frantically trying to stop the bleeding. His hands began to tremble, and his eyes widened in panic and terror before the light faded from them completely.
THUD!
Facing the direction where the girl stood, his head hit the ground, and he never made a sound again.
Xiao Bai had devoured both Nine Nether Divine Blood and Netherworld Demon Blood. Afterward, its body had been tended to by both Ning Xuan and the girl. Unleashing its fury, its strength was such that an average Human Realm expert was no match for it. As for a King Realm expert, this one had simply been stunned by the unexpected ramming attack. Otherwise, he would not have met such a pathetic end. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
But the others did not know this. Seeing a King Realm expert bitten to death by a dog left them all deeply unsettled. Recalling the dog’s ferocity and the girl’s casual words, their gazes toward her changed completely.
If even her dog is this terrifying, how strong must she be?! We can’t provoke this girl. We have to take on Ning Xuan instead!
Just as the thought arose, they saw a figure appear not far in front of the girl. It was Ning Xuan.
At the same time, an object fell from the sky with a BANG, landing near Ning Xuan and carving out a massive crater. Everyone looked intently. It was the dog.
"A-woo..." Xiao Bai looked up at the girl ingratiatingly.
A curtain of water materialized in the void, enveloping Xiao Bai. Soon, its fur turned snow-white again, and its injuries began to heal rapidly.
"Dao Xuan Technique!" a powerhouse whispered, his gaze on the girl growing even more fervent. He knew this was an effect of the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart.
Immediately, he looked at the girl and asked, "Miss, you won’t be helping him in our duel, will you?"
"Why would I help? It’s not like you’re very strong," the girl’s response was a heart-piercing blow.
The surrounding King Realm experts who had revealed themselves felt as if an arrow had pierced their chests. Ning Xuan’s mouth twitched slightly. He had devoured the energy of an entire Eighth Grade Element Vein, yet he had only managed to ascend to the Third Layer Heavens of the Human Realm.
This level of advancement is already heaven-defying, but compared to my Senior Sister, it’s just plain embarrassing!
"I need Element Crystals," Ning Xuan announced. "The more, the better."
Although his Storage Ring still contained a generous gift of ten billion Element Crystals from the King of Dong Cang Country, that was reserved for emergencies. Ning Xuan’s gaze swept over the Storage Rings on the hands of the experts. The expressions on several of their faces turned unsightly. They had already heard that this scoundrel’s favorite pastime was swiping people’s Storage Rings. Now, he had set his sights on theirs. This was utter contempt!
"Ning Xuan, I’ll fight y—"
A King Realm Martial Artist stepped forward, but before he could finish his sentence, a bloody hole appeared in his brow. Ning Xuan had tested his Sword Pill for the first time, and the effect was impressive.
At the Third Layer Heavens of the Human Realm, I can sustain two more sword strikes! And if the other King Realm experts are just like him, I might even manage a third!
Feeling the Element Force coursing through him, Ning Xuan’s fighting spirit soared. He came to this conclusion because he realized that all the King Realm Martial Artists he had encountered so far focused on form over substance.
The form is their Realm, but the substance is their true strength!
They blindly pursued higher Realms, so their actual combat strength could not match their cultivation level. Of course, even so, his opponents were still two full major Realms above him. A single misstep could still spell disaster. Ning Xuan would not allow that to happen.
After looting the Storage Ring, he scanned the crowd and declared coolly, "Next."
His arrogance was on full display.
"I’ll—"
This man had learned his lesson. He attacked the very instant he spoke.
BOOM!
A towering mountain materialized and fell from the sky, its Majestic Pressure and speed both utterly astonishing. Any other Human Realm Warrior would have been instantly immobilized and crushed into paste, unable to even resist. Amidst the deafening roar, the earth shook violently. A huge crater appeared before everyone. The attacker breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, Ning Xuan’s voice sounded right beside him. "You’re a bit slow."
This time, the man tried to escape at full speed, his Element Force surging. But it was useless. Threads of Sword Qi easily pierced the Element Force barrier he had constructed.
One slash to the throat, and another King Realm expert had fallen.
The faces of all the onlookers changed. It was terrifying enough that Ning Xuan had killed two King Realm experts, but what was truly horrifying was that he still seemed to have strength to spare.
That’s just insane! He’s only in the Human Realm, a full two major Realms below them. How can he be so heaven-defying?!
For a moment, no one dared to make a move. Ning Xuan saw this and could not help but feel a little disappointed.
So many people came, and all for nothing. What a waste!
After waiting in vain for an opponent, Ning Xuan had to ask, "Is anyone else going to make a move?"
Whenever he looked at someone, that person would involuntarily take a step back, completely unwilling to face his might alone. They considered joining forces, but next to Ning Xuan stood an even more terrifying girl, watching them like a tiger stalking its prey.
Ning Xuan felt quite helpless. "How do you all cultivate? You’re already at the King Realm, so why is your strength still so weak? You need to..."
Unable to hold back any longer, Ning Xuan began to lecture them on the importance of true strength. To make it more intuitive, he even used himself as an example. The group of King Realm experts listened, each feeling as if they had been suddenly enlightened.
"Young Master Ning, we understand the principles, but improving one’s true strength isn’t that easy. Do you have any good advice?" a King Realm expert asked humbly, voicing the question on everyone’s mind.
"That’s a good question. First, you need to analyze your own situation..." Ning Xuan shared his experience without reservation. The gathered King Realm Martial Artists nodded repeatedly.
About half an hour later, Ning Xuan scanned the crowd. "Any other questions?"
"None!"
"Thank you, Young Master Ning, for your guidance!"
"My apologies for the disturbance, Young Master Ning. I’ll return to my cultivation at once! With the method you’ve taught us, my strength is sure to rise to the next level!" One King Realm expert gave a deep bow and then ran off, eager to begin.
The others also took their leave one after another.
"Everyone, once you’ve improved your strength, remember to come back and try to kill me! I’ll be waiting!" Ning Xuan shouted after them.
Several of them stumbled, nearly falling flat on their faces. If Ning Xuan hadn’t shouted that, they would have completely forgotten why they had come in the first place.
Watching their retreating figures, Ning Xuan clapped his hands, a satisfied look on his face.
I may not have gotten their Storage Rings, but fighting stronger opponents to fuel my own growth is an even greater benefit!
Nearby, hidden from view, three other King Realm experts were roused from their stupor as if waking from a dream. They immediately signaled their troops and withdrew quietly.
