Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 110: Junior Brother Commits Murder, So Cool!
「The Capital, Royal Palace.」
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing the words of the three honored retainers, the King of Dong Cang shot to his feet. Although his long tenure in a high position had tempered his Mental State until it was as solid as a rock, the news they brought back was simply too shocking.
"Your Majesty, that Ning Xuan genuinely gave them a detailed analysis of how to increase their strength!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. What he said left the three of us utterly astonished!"
"That’s right! And at the end, he even shouted at them, telling them to remember to come kill him after they got stronger!"
The three men spoke over one another, their expressions still dazed as they recalled the scene. Even having witnessed it with their own eyes, they still found it incredible.
Those people were there to kill him! Anyone else would have wished for their enemies to be weak. Who complains that their own would-be assassins are too feeble?
And if that wasn’t enough, he actually told them how to get stronger.
Is he out of his mind?!
"What a character, that Ning Xuan! This King has truly underestimated you!"
The King of Dong Cang, however, recovered quickly, his face filled with admiration. This was the magnanimity of an invincible spirit, the embodiment of "if not me, then who?" And the boy was only eighteen years old!
After this moment of admiration, the King of Dong Cang asked the three, "Did the three of you also have some gains?"
The three honored retainers looked at one another before finally nodding in shame.
"Good! Then the pursuit of Ning Xuan is on hold for now. You are to go and cultivate. Make your move only after you have increased your strength! That’s right, you may utilize any and all resources within the Secret Vault!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The three thanked him in unison and withdrew.
Perhaps my choice was truly wrong... Ning Xuan, oh, Ning Xuan, why didn’t you appear sooner?
A long time later, a sigh echoed from the palace.
***
ACHOO!
Outside the Capital, in the great mountains, Ning Xuan suddenly sneezed.
Was that Yi Yi? Right, why haven’t they arrived yet?
Ning Xuan murmured to himself as he gazed toward the foot of the mountain. However, he didn’t see Si Lanyi and Zhongli Ruoruo. Instead, he saw a vast and mighty expanse of sword light!
"Ah, Junior Brother, look! There are people on the swords!" Wawa cried out, having also noticed. She pointed with a look of novelty and excitement.
Ning Xuan remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on the approaching sword light. A golden glint flickered in the depths of his eyes as he simultaneously activated the Qilin and Bai Ze Divine Veins.
The Sword Control Technique, allowing one to soar through the skies... I’ve longed to master it for two whole lifetimes! It was a pity I had never encountered it before and had no idea how it was done. This is a rare opportunity.
By the time dozens of Sword Cultivators landed before them, Ning Xuan withdrew his gaze, completely satisfied.
So the Sword Control Technique is this simple! Now I can ride the wind on a sword too!
Having grasped its secrets, Ning Xuan was ecstatic and eager to try it out for himself. It was clear, however, that these Sword Cultivators weren’t going to give him the chance.
"We found the body of Young Master Wu Ming at the foot of the mountain," one of them said, stepping forward. He lacked an overbearing aura, but his entire being radiated an unparalleled sharpness. He was like an unsheathed sword, ready to cleave heaven and earth at any moment. "Do you two know who is responsible?"
"Are you from that great swordsmithing family?" Ning Xuan’s excitement had yet to fade.
At his words, the man’s eyes narrowed. It was as if a sharp sword had lashed out, slicing off several strands of Ning Xuan’s hair. "You saw the killer?!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The excitement in Ning Xuan’s eyes grew even more intense. He pointed at himself. "The killer. Ning Xuan."
"You’re Ning Xuan?!"
All eyes, which had initially been on Wawa, now shifted to Ning Xuan. Although these Sword Cultivators had remained secluded on Cloud Floating Mountain, it didn’t mean they were ill-informed. They were especially well-versed when it comes to matters of the Sword Dao.
"I’ve heard you once shattered the Emperor’s Sword Domain with your Sword Qi. Let me see just how capable you really are!"
As his voice fell, a sword light flared and the void fractured!
Of course, I don’t believe the rumors. People love to exaggerate, and rumors get distorted as they spread. A trivial matter can become a monumental affair after passing through countless mouths. Shattering a Sword Domain with Sword Qi? Especially one created by the Emperor? Impossible!
PFFT!
The man who had just drawn his sword didn’t even see Ning Xuan make a move before a Sword Pill pierced the center of his brow.
The other Sword Cultivators were all stunned! Although the man who had attacked wasn’t the strongest among them in terms of Cultivation, his Sword Dao Realm had reached the Third Realm, the Sword Self Realm.
To be killed instantly by a single strike?! Could the rumors actually be true?!
The thought had barely formed before they dismissed it. Impossible! Our companion must have underestimated him!
"Let me have a go..."
Another man stepped forward, but before he could finish his sentence, his brow was pierced through.
This time, the remaining Sword Cultivators’ eyes narrowed sharply, their hands all clamping down on the hilts of their swords.
That bastard’s sword is too fast!
No one dared to be careless. They all stared intently at Ning Xuan while spreading out in a fan formation, moving to encircle him.
One Sword Cultivator, having a soft spot for beautiful women, gave Wawa a warning. "Miss, if you please, step aside!"
In our eyes, Ning Xuan is the most dangerous person here. As for Wawa, she looks frail and is no cause for concern.
"Alright!"
Wawa was very obedient, retreating from the battlefield while holding Xiao Bai. Her beautiful eyes shone with excitement.
She loved watching her Junior Brother kill people! He looked so cool doing it! These people were all just dishes on her Junior Brother’s plate!
Wawa stared at the Sword Cultivators, her stunning face wreathed in smiles. Many of them misinterpreted her expression, their spirits stirring as their auras grew a few degrees stronger. One, even more eager to show off, took the initiative to strike first.
SWISH!
A sword light flashed, and several heads flew into the air in an elliptical arc. The headless bodies lurched forward, spewing blood several yards high like blooming fireworks.
"Hee hee, good job! Go, Junior Brother, go!" Wawa was overjoyed and began to clap her hands.
THUD!
Xiao Bai, who had been watching the show from her arms, was caught off guard and tumbled onto its back! It immediately covered its face with its front paws. Peeking through the gaps between its claws and seeing that no one was paying attention, Xiao Bai scrambled to its feet and joined Wawa in clapping.
Back on the battlefield, the remaining Sword Cultivators went numb upon hearing Wawa’s voice.
Ning Xuan’s gaze glinted, and his sword light flashed again and again. Several more people were slain by him.
Now, the remaining Sword Cultivators knew Ning Xuan was not someone to be trifled with.
SWOOSH!
Suddenly, a streak of sword light shot across the sky like lightning. It was too fast. By the time Ning Xuan noticed it, it was already right in front of him.
A Flying Sword!
He dodged to the side, his body vanishing from its original spot as he killed another person. But a terrifying killing intent abruptly struck him from behind. The Flying Sword was following him like a shadow! Ning Xuan’s body flickered repeatedly, but he still couldn’t evade it.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
To make matters worse, three more Flying Swords tore through the air toward him.
Ning Xuan let out a low shout, and his sword light cascaded out like a vast ocean! Two of the Sword Cultivators using Sword Control were unable to dodge in time and were beheaded.
CLANG! CLANG!
The two Flying Swords that had been pursuing him immediately clattered to the ground. The remaining two figures retreated explosively.
Ning Xuan’s Sword Dao is terrifying! Our only chance of victory is to create distance!
As for the other Sword Cultivators, they no longer rushed to join the fight. Instead, they began to close in on Wawa.
This girl calls Ning Xuan ’Junior Brother,’ so she must have a cultivation base too! Attacking her won’t be considered bullying! If our two strongest fail, we can use this girl to force Ning Xuan’s hand!
