Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 146: A man of few words, the entire army is annihilated!
Ning Xuan’s gaze swept toward Wu Mian.
Wu Mian immediately collapsed.
THUMP!
He dropped cleanly to his knees, crying his eyes out. "Boo hoo hoo... I’m truly innocent! I just came here for some fun. Sir, please have mercy and spare me."
I didn’t want to do this. By kneeling, I’ve thrown away all the Wu Family’s dignity! But if I don’t kneel, I’m afraid I’ll be killed. I can already see it clearly: this prick has absolutely no concept of noble clans or families. My own life is all that matters!
Sun Yulong was also panicking. I wanted to kneel and beg for mercy, too, but I know it would be useless. Everyone knows why I brought so many people here. The situation has already escalated to life and death. No matter how much I beg, there’s no turning back. That being the case, my only sliver of hope is to drag the Kong Family and the Wu Family into this mess with me.
"Wu Mian, the fact that he dared to kill your family’s Dao Xuan Master proves he’s prepared for retaliation. Begging for mercy now is useless and will only disgrace your family. If we work together, we still have a chance! Pull yourself together and believe in yourself! You’re one of the top three Dao Xuan Masters of your generation in the family!"
As he spoke, Sun Yulong yanked Wu Mian to his feet. The strength of a Dao Xuan Master was no match for a Martial Artist!
I’m so furious I could kill Sun Yulong.
Instead of attacking, Ning Xuan asked Wu Mian, "What was that you were saying about a Ten Clans Competition?"
The Ten Clans Competition... sounds interesting.
"The Ten Clans Competition is a grand event held by Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace once every three years," Wu Mian hurriedly explained. "Prodigies under twenty-five from the ten great clans compete for the top ten spots. The winners get to enter the Heavenly Palace, ascend the Heavenly Ladder, and travel to the Heavens Beyond!"
"Ten great clans and only ten spots... The winners must be incredibly strong!" Ning Xuan’s entire being lit up with excitement.
Wu Mian nodded, his eyes shining with reverence. "Incredibly strong!"
"You, step forward," Ning Xuan said, pointing at Sun Yulong.
Sun Yulong flinched and took a step back.
"You don’t have to suppress your Cultivation. If you can take one punch from me, I’ll spare your life."
Sun Yulong’s eyes lit up. "You really mean that?!"
That guy is strong, but so am I. Worst case, even if I can’t win, I’ll just end up injured like Kong Xia. This is a good deal!
Ning Xuan nodded.
Sun Yulong took a deep breath and immediately activated the True Blood in his elixir field. An Innate Body possessed a wisp of Innate Qi, which could unleash unexpected power when fused with True Blood. During the last Ten Clans Competition, someone with an Innate Body used this very combination to turn the tables on a Divine Demon Physique and forcibly snatch away one of the spots!
Wu Mian was standing very close to Sun Yulong, so he knew exactly what Sun Yulong was planning the moment he began activating his power. I opened my mouth, intending to warn Ning Xuan, but then thought better of it and held my tongue. If Sun Yulong’s attack is strong enough, I can even help him capture that prick. That way, I can preserve the Wu Family’s dignity. If Sun Yulong loses, it’s no loss to me, either. After all, every debt has its debtor. That prick has already killed two of my men, and I’ve humbled myself so thoroughly; surely, my own life will be spared. Wu Mian was quite pleased with his little scheme.
Element Force surged through Sun Yulong’s body. He furiously gathered the fused Innate Qi and True Blood from his elixir field, concentrating it all in his right arm. With a roar, Sun Yulong took the initiative and struck first!
Ning Xuan didn’t dodge or evade. His right arm coiled like a dragon’s body as a violent power erupted from it. "Stacking Fist! Force of Thirty-Six!"
BOOM!
The two fists collided fiercely. A blast ripped through the air, and the surrounding void twisted and tore like paper, shredded beyond any hope of repair.
Ning Xuan retreated three steps. Sun Yulong stumbled back five steps before forcing himself to a stop.
Wu Mian jumped to his feet in delight, about to make his move.
SPURT!
Sun Yulong coughed up a wild spray of blood and dropped to his knees. His right arm was still attached, but it was trembling uncontrollably. As he lowered his head, blood streamed from all seven of his orifices like rain.
Wu Mian quickly reached out to check his pulse, and his expression changed dramatically. Sun Yulong’s Physical Body is indeed intact, but his internal organs and meridians have been completely pulverized by the violent force! His body is nothing but an empty shell! Not even a Divine King could save him now!
One punch! An Innate Body at the Fourth Layer Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, pushed to its absolute limit, was still no match for a single punch from his opponent! That prick is ridiculously powerful!
Ning Xuan turned to Wu Mian. "Are you familiar with his level of strength?"
Wu Mian nodded.
Ning Xuan immediately asked, "How does he compare to the people who participate in the Ten Clans Competition?"
Wu Mian looked up, his face a mask of disbelief. Could it be? The only reason he fought Sun Yulong was to find this out?
"My big brother is asking you a question!" Sun Zhu’s voice cut in. Having developed some immunity to Ning Xuan’s overwhelming power, he managed to recover his composure much faster this time.
Wu Mian’s heart trembled. Not daring to be the slightest bit negligent, he hurriedly spoke the truth. "The prodigies in the Ten Clans Competition have Cultivation at the Ninth Layer Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, at the very least! What’s more, every single one of them can fight above their rank. Their power is terrifying. Sun Yulong is simply not in the same league."
"This is getting interesting," Ning Xuan said, his excitement growing. "I’ve decided. I’m going to participate in the Ten Clans Competition!"
There’s still a month to go. I have time!
Wu Mian immediately piped up, "The Wu Family can give you a spot!"
Ning Xuan shook his head.
"But the Ten Clans Competition has qualifiers," Wu Mian continued. "If you go without having earned a spot, all Ten Clans will join forces to attack you. This year’s qualifiers are already over."
Kong Sifang hurriedly interjected, cupping his fists. "Young Master, what he says is true. The Kong Family is willing to offer you a spot, and we will pour all of our resources into supporting you!"
Wu Mian grew frantic. "The Wu Family can do the same!"
Kong Sifang immediately exposed his rival. "Young Master, don’t believe him! The Wu Family is a Dao Xuan lineage. Dao Xuan Masters are a massive drain on resources, not to mention the Wu Family already has another super-genius to support! Our Kong Family is different. We just make up the numbers every time, anyway."
Wu Mian was furious. "You old coot, you—"
CRACK!
Ning Xuan suddenly struck, his hand clamping around Wu Mian’s throat and crushing it. Wu Mian’s eyes bulged in disbelief. He never imagined Ning Xuan would attack him so suddenly.
"You’re too noisy."
With those quiet words, Ning Xuan released his grip. Wu Mian slumped to the ground, dead.
Kong Sifang slapped a hand over his own mouth, his eyes wide with terror. This young man is a man of few words and ruthless actions. He’d kill without a second thought. Terrifying!
BANG! BANG!
The sudden sounds of impact erupted from behind him. Kong Sifang whipped his head around just in time to see Kong Xia and another person collapse. A dark figure was already upon him. Just as he moved to retaliate, a blade pierced his elixir field! The figure yanked the blade back, tearing Kong Sifang’s body in two.
The killer immediately dropped to his knees before Ning Xuan. "Young Master, I am willing to serve you faithfully!"
As the man’s forehead came down to kowtow, it met Ning Xuan’s foot. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
BANG!
His head shot away like a watermelon, bursting into a spray of red fireworks in mid-air.
"What I hate most are backstabbers."
