Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 160: Best Support, Dominant Martial Profound Technique!

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Best Support, Dominant Martial Profound Technique!

"Attack!" one of the men roared as a massive Element Beast shadow burst from his body.

The remaining Martial Artists all moved at once!

All of them targeted Yun Wangshu!

Dao Xuan Masters can’t fight up close! If we can just capture her, Ning Xuan will have no choice but to surrender!

Yun Wangshu was incredibly fast. The moment they moved, she had already retreated, putting distance between herself and Ning Xuan. The Majestic Pressure of a King Realm Martial Artist was terrifying. If Ning Xuan were caught in its sweep, he wouldn’t be able to leverage his advantages. Yun Wangshu would not allow that to happen.

Seeing them all chase after Yun Wangshu, Ning Xuan finally snapped back to his senses and shouted, "Hey! What about me?"

He immediately gave chase.

Kong Wei, who had lost an arm, and the middle-aged man beside him breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, the hair on their bodies stood on end. They didn’t even have time to react.

SWISH!

A flash of sword light shot past, and both men were decapitated.

My Eldest Brother warned me that no one can know I’m a Sword Cultivator! If I kill everyone who sees me use my sword, then no one will ever know, right? As for that town earlier, there were very few witnesses. I’ll make a trip back later and use my Divine Vein Power. They’ll wake up from a nap and forget everything.

And now...

Ning Xuan’s eyes flashed, and the Tianli Sword streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning.

ZING!

Hundreds of yards away, a King Realm expert attempting a sneak attack on Yun Wangshu was suddenly decapitated!

"Are there any competent fighters left? Send a few my way," Ning Xuan taunted, striding across the ground with boundless pride.

Even from such a distance, the young man could still brandish his sword with such deadly effect. The remaining King Realm experts no longer dared to ignore him, but none dared to confront him, either. The methods of Sword Cultivators were bizarre and terrifying; they had no wish to die without knowing why.

Immediately, they all used their strongest techniques, determined to capture the woman. As a result, their attention was divided as they tried to guard against Ning Xuan. Taking advantage of the opening, Yun Wangshu instantly slew two of them.

The great procession that had stormed out of the inn was now reduced to a mere six people.

"Sis, you don’t have to stay so far away. With just this handful of small fry left, I could kill them with my eyes closed," Ning Xuan called out to Yun Wangshu, who was still keeping her distance.

"Alright!" Yun Wangshu called back, and she actually came to a stop.

The six men were not pleased; they were horrified. If Ning Xuan had said such a thing at the beginning, they would have scoffed. But now, not a single one of them doubted his words. All six became frantic, their mental states beginning to crack.

HUMMM!

Suddenly, the Tianli Sword rang out. The nearest Martial Artist raised his guard to the absolute limit.

However...

PFFT!

A Water Sword materialized and pierced his throat from behind. Ning Xuan’s hands were clasped in a Seal Formation. He was using a Martial Xuan Technique! The attack was impossible to defend against.

Although his opponents’ Cultivation Realms were far higher, Ning Xuan’s endless arsenal of techniques drove them to despair.

"Fall!"

Elated by his instant kill of a King Realm expert on his first attempt using a Martial Xuan Technique, Ning Xuan unleashed his ultimate move. As he pressed down with his hands in their Seal Formation, swords formed from water rained down from the heavens.

"Nice move! I’ll lend you a hand, little brother!"

Yun Wangshu’s beautiful eyes lit up as she rapidly formed seals with her slender hands.

RUMBLE—

The sky was instantly blotted out by dark clouds, as if a god had been enraged. A terrifying aura descended, and the swords of water falling from the sky swelled to a massive size. This wasn’t the power of Ning Xuan’s Martial Xuan Technique alone, but the result of Yun Wangshu’s supportive skill.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

The few remaining King Realm Martial Artists tried to dodge, but their speed was drastically reduced under the oppressive aura. Just as they were about to break free, the swords fell from the sky. In an instant, they were perforated, riddled with holes like a hornet’s nest. Each one died a gruesome death.

Yun Wangshu stood frozen to the spot, dazed.

"Sis, what’s wrong?" Ning Xuan, who had been in high spirits, asked with concern.

Regaining her senses, Yun Wangshu said nothing but planted an excited kiss on his cheek. "Do you realize what just happened?" she exclaimed. "That was my Primordial Dao Xuan Technique! I had to abandon it before because it was too impractical, so I had to cultivate others instead!"

After a moment of surprise, Ning Xuan gently took Yun Wangshu’s hand and said softly, "Sis, you’ve suffered."

A Dao Xuan Master’s Primordial Dao Xuan Technique was their innate talent, and cultivating it was far more efficient than any other. Yun Wangshu had abandoned her innate talent, yet still cultivated other Dao Xuan Techniques to the point where she could battle several King Realm Martial Artists on her own. The hardships she must have endured, hidden behind those simple words, were undoubtedly unimaginable.

The excited look on Yun Wangshu’s face vanished. She suddenly threw her arms around Ning Xuan, and tears streamed down her face.

Ning Xuan stood perfectly still, acting as a proper pillar of support.

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Xuan keenly sensed the soft body in his arms stiffen for a moment before relaxing again. Only his extraordinary perception allowed him to notice the subtle change. She was shy, and for the moment, Ning Xuan couldn’t think of a good way to ease the awkwardness. Instead, he became increasingly aware of her fragrance and her graceful, supple figure.

Suddenly, Ning Xuan’s head began to throb.

Damn it, even Liu Xiaohui wouldn’t be able to resist this battle robe!

The delicate body in his arms stiffened again.

"Sis, quick, look! There’s a big gray airplane in the sky!"

Yun Wangshu took the opportunity to break free. "Where? I’ll shoot it down for you!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already shot into the air. A moment later, a Flying Boat zipped over Ning Xuan’s head, and Yun Wangshu’s voice drifted down from above. "I’m leaving! Find your own way back!"

"Wait, Sis! I..."

Ning Xuan took two steps to follow but then gave up.

After looting their Storage Rings, Ning Xuan saw that no one was around and used the Southern Bright Departing Fire to destroy the corpses, leaving no trace. He then returned to the small town to tie up loose ends before setting out once more.

Traveling by Sword Control was out of the question now. Luckily, those "kind" people had left behind several Element Beasts in town. Ning Xuan chose the most majestic-looking one and headed in the direction of Bi Luo Palace.

Atop the Element Beast’s back, Ning Xuan sat as immovable as a mountain with his eyes closed. Wherever he passed, the Element Qi in the air formed a raging dragon that trailed behind him. He was using the journey to cultivate. Although he had just slain several King Realm experts, he had done so using his sword Cultivation and had relied on the Tianli Sword.

That is, after all, an external tool. Ultimately, true strength has to come from within.

Moreover, Ning Xuan had made a decision. While I’m here, I will avoid using my sword arts and the Tianli Sword as much as possible! This isn’t out of fear of being ganged up on, but because I don’t want to become dependent on them.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Ning Xuan was like a moving thunderclap, and the Element Beast beneath him moved faster and faster. Although Ning Xuan was absorbing most of the Element Qi, he was primarily consuming Heavenly Crystals to fuel his cultivation. A portion of the ambient worldly Element Qi was therefore absorbed by the Element Beast. Benefiting from this, it naturally put in more effort.

Because he was in the wilderness, Ning Xuan’s cultivation proceeded undisturbed. His Cultivation Realm advanced at a remarkable pace.

Third Layer Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, Fourth Layer Heavens of the Heavenly Realm!

Just as his cultivation broke through to the Fifth Layer Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, the Element Beast he was riding shot across a main road.

"Hmm?" one observer muttered. "A lone rider... and he’s cultivating like that! Interesting!"

Another person’s eyes widened. "That seems to be Ning Xuan?!"

"Ning Xuan?" someone else repeated, then their brow furrowed. "Why does he have our family’s Soul Guide on him?!"
