Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 126: The Three Heroes of the Martial Hall, All Bloodied Upon Meeting Ning Xuan!
"Who would have thought the inheritance would actually be in this Broken Sword! To be able to elude my Divine Sense... impressive indeed."
The first to react was Jun Ting. As he paced outward, he addressed Ning Xuan, "She is the Nine Orifices Stone Spirit, isn’t she? Hand the Stone Sword over to me, and I can guarantee her safety!"
Yun Wangshu, who was closer, reacted just as quickly. She swiftly put the Stone Sword into her Storage Ring and stood protectively beside the child.
Ning Xuan’s gaze fell on the child, whose face was now even paler. He glanced gratefully at Yun Wangshu before turning back to face Jun Ting. The child had once again used her Primordial Source, but only to stabilize the sword spirit’s Divine Soul. Apart from a pang of heartache, Ning Xuan was filled with frustration at his own weakness.
My power is still too weak! His desire for strength intensified.
The child’s telepathic message reached him, "Junior Brother, that older sister didn’t want any of this. She gave the real treasure to me. We can go now."
Ning Xuan wasn’t surprised. That makes more sense. But he knew leaving wouldn’t be so easy.
The people from Su Yue Zhuai and the Martial God Temple were all watching covetously. He quickly calculated their odds. Yun Wangshu’s four companions can handle four opponents. As Yi Yi’s senior martial sister, she can probably hold off two more. Wu Pianpian is extremely strong; the remaining two elders can be left to her. Having tallied it all up, Ning Xuan smiled. If we really want to leave, it doesn’t seem that difficult after all.
"Give it to you? Who the hell do you think you are? Are you worthy?" Ning Xuan sneered at Jun Ting, dropping all pretense.
ROAR!
Before Jun Ting could react, the white tiger erupted in fury, opening its bloody maw to swallow Ning Xuan whole.
BOOM!
A white blur shot out from behind, sending the white tiger flying. It was Xiao Bai!
"Looks like we have a sick cat here," Ning Xuan teased.
Jun Ting’s eyes flashed as he locked onto Xiao Bai. There’s something strange about that little creature!
The white tiger roared in a frenzy, a massive phantom emerging from its body as it swiped a colossal paw at Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai weaved and dodged, its afterimages flickering across the rocky walls. Boulders flew and dust filled the air as the massive cavern shook violently.
BOOM!
The four elders from the Martial God Temple and Su Yue Zhuai suddenly attacked in unison, all of them targeting Yun Wangshu. She retreated explosively, moving out of the cavern. The four elders with her moved to intercept, and a ferocious battle erupted.
On the Su Yue Zhuai side, two elders tried to get past Wu Pianpian.
VWOOM!
The staff in her hand suddenly grew longer and thicker, transforming into a massive spear that blocked their path.
"I’ve been waiting all day for this! Finally, a proper fight!"
BANG!
The two men slammed their palms against the spear. Under the colossal impact, all three of them blasted through the rock wall and appeared outside.
Meanwhile, Yun Wangshu engaged two powerful experts from Su Yue Zhuai. Her hands danced, summoning shifting winds and clouds, and she didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage in the slightest.
"Ning Xuan, come and fight!" Zhan Wushuang bellowed and threw a punch at Ning Xuan.
Jun Ting circled around, heading toward the child.
The two remaining youths from the Martial God Temple exited the cavern and watched coldly from the sidelines. Jun Ting is from the Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace, arrogant and overbearing. He’s the perfect person to act as the vanguard and test the waters!
Soon, however, the two were disappointed. Jun Ting didn’t approach the child. Instead, he stood still at a distance, seemingly lost in thought.
After Xing Baishou and Jing Tianchou whispered to each other, the former approached Jun Ting and taunted him, "What’s the matter? Does even Lord Jun not dare to act rashly?"
Others might fear Jun Ting, but we don’t. Our Senior Brother Ning Yang not only went to the Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace, but he may have even reached the Heavens Beyond. Jun Ting wouldn’t dare act so presumptuously in front of us!
Jun Ting glanced at Jing Tianchou, his killing intent undisguised. "I know what you’re thinking. Remember, you are not Ning Yang! Scram!"
With his sharp rebuke, Jing Tianchou grunted and took a step back. He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing and retreated.
After returning, Jing Tianchou sent a telepathic message to Xing Baishou. "Jun Ting’s power is terrifying; we’re no match for him. If Wushuang is defeated, we’ll let Jun Ting deal with Ning Xuan!"
"Senior Brother Ning Yang had a lot of foresight. It’s a pity we didn’t fully listen to him back then," Xing Baishou transmitted back, his tone full of regret. "Ning Yang once told us there was always someone stronger and a heaven beyond the heavens, advising us to be meticulous with our cultivation and to focus more on practical combat. We listened, for the most part, but as our power grew, so did our complacency. Otherwise, we could have been even stronger!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
PFFT!
While the two were lost in regret, the fight between Ning Xuan and Zhan Wushuang had been decided. Ning Xuan landed a punch, and Zhan Wushuang was sent flying backward, spitting blood.
"Damn it!"
Their expressions changed instantly as they moved to save him. But it was too late.
Ning Xuan shadowed him instantly and threw another punch. Zhan Wushuang’s body exploded in the void!
"You’ve arrived just in time!" Ning Xuan turned to face the two men, who had rushed out only to skid to a halt. His battle intent was overwhelming.
The faces of the two men turned pale with shock. Damn it! Our plan was to let Jun Ting make a move so we could reap the rewards! Who knew this bastard was so fierce!
"Uh..." Jing Tianchou had just started to speak.
"What? Scared already, and we haven’t even started?" a mocking voice came from the side. It was Jun Ting, arms crossed as he made glib remarks. Others thought him arrogant and brainless, but he knew that anyone who believed that was the truly brainless one.
"We are from the Martial God Temple! We were personally trained by the Human Emperor! Ning Xuan, don’t you dare be so arrogant!" Xing Baishou took a deep breath and announced loudly.
They had to act now. The situation was turning against them. That Yun Wangshu and the woman in red are terrifyingly powerful, each holding their own against two opponents! In particular, Yun Wangshu’s Dao Xuan Technique is superior; both of her opponents are already injured! If Yun Wangshu kills them, our side will suffer a devastating blow.
"Jun Ting, your people are losing! If you keep standing there making idle remarks, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Jing Tianchou chimed in. Although he wished he could kill Jun Ting himself, he understood what was at stake. If Jun Ting didn’t act soon, their advantage would be completely lost!
"Just worry about yourselves," Jun Ting said with a dismissive glance, remaining calm.
"Attack!" Xing Baishou bellowed, lunging forward with a powerful punch. He had a weapon but chose not to use it. After witnessing Ning Xuan’s swordsmanship, he knew to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
Jing Tianchou reacted just as quickly, striking out with his palm. Ning Xuan’s strength is too formidable for either of us to face alone; our only chance is a combined attack!
"Bring it on!" Ning Xuan was ecstatic. The thought of evading their attack never even crossed his mind as he struck out with both hands.
BANG! BANG!
With a deafening crash, Ning Xuan was sent flying. Overjoyed, the two men pressed their advantage, attacking again. Another head-on collision. Ning Xuan was sent flying once more. The last traces of fear in their hearts vanished, and their attacks grew even more ferocious.
Watching from the sidelines, Jun Ting’s expression turned solemn. That guy is doing this on purpose! He wants them to push their power to its absolute peak! Realizing Ning Xuan’s intentions, he felt a flicker of wariness toward him.
RUMBLE—
A thunderous roar emanated from within Ning Xuan’s body, and his entire aura changed drastically.
Jing and Xing were both startled. They roared in unison as their Element Force surged forth like a torrential river.
HUMMM!
Ning Xuan neither dodged nor retreated. His fist shot out like a dragon.
BANG! BANG!
The instant their attacks collided, the right arms of both Jing and Xing exploded into a mist of blood
