Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 138: If you want to fight, that’s fine, but you’re not getting the person!

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: If you want to fight, that’s fine, but you’re not getting the person!

Ning Xuan’s body shuddered, and he nearly fell to his knees.

Behind him, Qian Wanyi and the others felt their hearts tremble, subconsciously bending over and reaching out. Their hearts sank even further.

That was the Qilin, an ancient mythical beast from legend, the master of all Element Beasts. And yet, this demon ape did not submit.

This time, they were utterly doomed.

Just at that moment, Ning Xuan’s wild laughter rang out.

The martial artists were stunned. The demon ape was, too.

"Interesting. I hope you can be even stronger!" Ning Xuan took a step forward, his gaze blazing as his aura surged.

What’s wrong with this human?! He’s in this state, and he’s still posturing? the demon ape wondered.

Immediately, it bared its teeth in a grin and swiped its massive hand toward the Qilin in the void.

BOOM!

Under the terrifying might, the Qilin phantom exploded into nothingness.

Ning Xuan staggered, his face turning several shades paler.

The demon ape pouted. That’s it? 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Behind him, the hearts of the martial artists trembled. Some even wore looks of disappointment. This guy’s all talk and no action! He was just bluffing!

Undeterred, Ning Xuan tilted his head back and poured a bottle of "candy" into his mouth. The demon ape didn’t take the opportunity to attack, merely observing him quietly.

"Still not enough," Ning Xuan muttered before consuming two more Jade Sea Cheng Lu Pills.

RUMBLE...

A great rumbling sound erupted from within his body. At the same time, the world’s Element Qi swarmed toward him. In the sky, Element Qi coiled into dragons, spiraling toward him. The countless vortices converged above Ning Xuan’s head, and a torrent of wild energy poured down.

Ning Xuan’s aura suddenly skyrocketed.

Eleventh Layer Heavens of the Human Realm!

"He actually broke through on the spot!" a powerful expert murmured from the rear.

"Such a powerful technique, but it’s still not enough!" someone else sighed. It was a last-ditch effort, but it was too late. His Human Realm cultivation was still too weak.

However, the demon ape’s heart skipped a beat. Just as it was about to make a move...

BOOM!

The Qilin materialized above, treading upon the heavens!

SMASH!

Many of the King Level Element Beasts that had risen when the first Qilin shattered were instantly crushed by the terrifying divine might, forced to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Even the demon ape could not withstand the sudden, immense surge of divine might and was forced abruptly to its knees. It raised its head, about to roar, but a golden light flashed from the Qilin in the sky.

SPURT!

The demon ape’s gaping maw spewed a mouthful of fresh blood. Fear filled its eyes, its previous arrogance gone. Its body began to tremble violently.

"What happened?"

"How did he do that?" someone whispered from behind.

The youth had only advanced by a single layer, so how had he become so powerful? This was beyond their comprehension.

Even Ning Xuan himself was somewhat surprised. He actually had many other choices; with twelve Divine Meridians, he could manifest many other ancient mythical beasts. But a moment ago, acting on a whim, he had activated his Bloodline Power, and as a result, the demon ape had cowered.

"You’re disappointing, you puny mutt," Ning Xuan said with a look of disappointment. The Qilin in the sky looked even more triumphant and domineering.

The demon ape bared its teeth, trying to get up.

Ning Xuan let out a cold snort.

SPURT!

The demon ape spat out another mouthful of blood. This time, its entire body was pressed to the ground, its belly heaving violently as it gasped for air.

"Big Bro, you’re amazing!" the chubby Qian Duoduo’s voice suddenly rang out from the rear.

"Amazing!"

"Amazing!"

The chorus of cheers grew louder and louder, shaking the very heavens. Aside from Sun Yuhu and Kong Fusheng, everyone was beaming with joy.

"Nephew, what should we do next?" Qian Wanyi stepped forward, quietly asking for Ning Xuan’s opinion.

The Qilin vanished from the sky. Ning Xuan looked at the demon ape. "Take your companions and leave."

The demon ape’s face was a mask of disbelief. Then, it sat up abruptly, staring at Ning Xuan with gritted teeth and a fierce gleam in its eyes.

The crowd, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt their hearts leap into their throats again. Those who knew how fearsome the demon ape was looked horrified. This creature was untamed and full of demonic savagery; letting it go like this meant it would attack immediately, not sometime in the future.

The boy is too arrogant!

But the boy they deemed arrogant remained silent, his expression calm. He showed no intention of using the Qilin Divine Meridian again, simply watching the demon ape across from him. Time seemed to stand still. No one dared to breathe. Under their collective gaze, the demon ape slowly rose to its feet. Almost everyone instinctively took a step back. Only Ning Xuan remained rooted to the spot, as calm as still water.

The next moment, the demon ape raised its hand.

Many tightened their grip on their weapons, their hearts nearly bursting from their chests. However, the demon ape didn’t attack. Instead, it pointed in a certain direction.

Everyone followed its gesture and saw the pale-faced Sun Yuhu. After a moment of shock, they understood the demon ape’s meaning and were instantly overjoyed. Hand over that guy, and the demon ape would retreat. This trade was too good to be true.

Just as someone was about to move, a voice rose from below.

"No!"

Without turning his head, Ning Xuan knew what it wanted and flatly refused.

The joyous smiles on people’s faces froze. They looked at Ning Xuan, their eyes full of resentment and pleading.

The demon ape was also taken aback. It had never imagined that such a simple request would be denied. After recovering its senses, it bared its teeth at Ning Xuan.

"If you want a fight, I’ll give you one! But if you want him, I refuse!" Ning Xuan responded forcefully, his face expressionless.

Another suffocating moment ensued. Though it hadn’t been long, to many it felt like an eternity.

Ultimately, the demon ape compromised. It led the Element Beasts away, retreating toward the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.

Behind them, many of the martial artists breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed where they stood. That was too damn scary!

"Incredible! Such magnanimity!" Beside Ning Xuan, Qian Wanyi was lavish with his praise and admiration.

Seeing Ning Xuan look over, Qian Wanyi’s expression suddenly turned serious. He cupped his fist and bowed deeply. "I am Qian Wanyi, the Lord of Qianling City," he said solemnly. "On behalf of all its residents, I thank you, Young Master, for your great kindness!"

"Uncle Qian, you’re too kind," Ning Xuan said, quickly helping him up. "This whole incident was my fault to begin with."

Qian Wanyi looked puzzled.

"I was the one who placed the Gu parasite on that demon ape. I’m willing to take full responsibility for this incident!"

Before Qian Wanyi could even speak, Sun Yuhu, who had just recovered his wits on the city wall, overheard and became ecstatic. "Old Kong, did you hear that? The bastard admitted it himself!"

Kong Fusheng’s lips twitched. Right now, all I want is to be invisible. Is this guy out of his mind?! Damn it all! What a moronic teammate!

Below, Qian Wanyi shook his head. "That’s wrong. The reason we have the Prevalent Mirror at the city gate is that the Element Beasts, led by that ape, had harbored ill intentions for a long time. Even without you, it would have launched a beast tide eventually!"

Many martial artists behind him subconsciously nodded. The flicker of dissatisfaction they had felt toward Ning Xuan instantly vanished.

With an order from Qian Wanyi, the tightly sealed city gates opened. Ning Xuan was welcomed inside like the moon surrounded by stars.

Just as they entered the gates, Qian Wanyi asked, "May I ask, Nephew, how you plan to deal with those two?"

The demon ape had demanded the man, but Ning Xuan refused. I can’t quite grasp what he’s planning.
