Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 371: This Ning Xuan’s strength isn’t all that great!

In the arena, Ning Xuan sighed with frustration.

This only made the man who had attacked him smile even more broadly. However, the power of his technique hadn't diminished in the slightest; in fact, it was still increasing. Taking his opponent lightly was out of the question. After all, a cautionary tale was standing right before them.

BOOM!

Under the terrifying might, Ning Xuan was forced into a seated meditative posture. Without a second thought, he formed a hand seal, seemingly preparing to counter with a technique of his own.

In response, the attacker sneered. Under my profound Element Force, even those with a Cultivation Realm several levels higher have struggled in vain. This young fellow is simply delusional!

However, the smile on his face froze a moment later. He had somehow lost his lock on Ning Xuan, even though the boy was clearly right in front of him! Realizing something was wrong, the man let out a low shout and thrust out his palm, its force suddenly accelerating.

A bizarre scene unfolded. His palm struck down, solidly connecting with Ning Xuan. The impact was so great that the entire Devil's Island trembled. Yet, Ning Xuan remained seated in the same spot, completely unharmed.

"Old Yun, what happened?!" someone immediately asked, seeing the attacker staring at his own palm in disbelief.

"What's going on? Why did my attack fail? What did you do?" Old Yun stared at Ning Xuan, his face a mask of shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

Ning Xuan looked up at him with a puzzled expression and replied, "What are you talking about? Didn't you hold back because you couldn't bear to kill me?"

"You—"

Old Yun flew into a rage. But before he could finish, he saw Ning Xuan wink and immediately understood.

"Ahaha, I didn't expect you to be so perceptive! Moting Du, this youngster is quite talented. I had a moment of weakness and couldn't bring myself to deliver the killing blow. My apologies. I will go reflect on my actions in seclusion."

No sooner had his voice faded than he had disappeared. The others present weren't fools. If he didn't leave now and was exposed in front of everyone, it would be a great embarrassment. He had a reputation to maintain.

As for challenging Ning Xuan again? Fight my ass! I'm clearly no match for him! Since his opponent had given me a way out, refusing to take it would be asking for humiliation. Worse, I was afraid he might just slap me to death!

Moting Du's expression was grim. The strength of Ning Xuan's technique had far exceeded his expectations. The crucial part was that even now, he only had a vague understanding of what had happened. It seemed Ning Xuan had merged with the very earth itself. Old Yun's palm had landed, but its power had been completely swallowed by the force of the earth.

In terms of sheer profundity, what could possibly compare to the power of the boundless earth itself! This fellow's techniques are truly unexpected! For a moment, Moting Du felt a great appreciation for such talent. If I could win him over, I would even be willing to…

"If I'm not mistaken, you just borrowed the power of the earth! I, Huangfu Song, may be untalented, but I would also like to lend my strength."

A man stepped forward and stomped his foot. The ground began to shake violently and burst apart. An invisible force, like hundreds of plows tilling the land simultaneously, sent the earth churning in every direction.

RUMBLE…

Amidst the roaring, it was as if giant serpents were surging toward Ning Xuan from all sides. Under this man's technique, the solidity of the earth became as fragile as clay chickens and pottery dogs. The power of this attacker, Huangfu Song, was far greater than that of the previous one.

Ning Xuan's eyes lit up. "It seems the Demon Path does have its experts," he murmured, standing his ground.

Just as the countless attacks were about to engulf him, Ning Xuan fiercely stomped his foot.

The next moment…

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The sound of explosions filled the air. Outside the immediate area, the crowd of Demon Path masters instinctively covered their faces with their sleeves. Just then, they heard Huangfu Song's cry of astonishment.

"How can this be?!"

They stared intently, their blood running cold. For some unknown reason, Huangfu Song and Ning Xuan had switched places.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

All of the powerful attacks Huangfu Song had unleashed now landed squarely on himself. His body trembled violently before he collapsed limply to the ground.

Everyone was stunned. What in the hell just happened?!

"Moting Du, our great elder has been killed by him! You must seek justice for us!" someone from the Huangfu family cried out amidst sobs.

Ning Xuan raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and Huangfu Song's body flew through the air.

The next moment, a joyful voice exclaimed, "Great Elder, you're alive?!"

Huangfu Song's irritated voice followed. "What, were you all hoping I was dead?!" He sounded perfectly vigorous.

Instantly, many eyes turned back to Ning Xuan, and their minds began to churn. This guy's techniques looked intimidating, but their actual power didn't seem all that impressive.

Immediately, someone prepared to step forward, but Moting Du's voice transmission echoed in his mind. "Kid, do you have a death wish?!"

The man was unconvinced. "Moting Du, Ning Xuan's strength isn't that great! I can beat him."

"Beat him? Don't make me laugh! Who do you think you are? If you actually focused on your training instead of slacking off, you wouldn't be so blind! Can't you see that Ning Xuan's control over power has reached the point of perfection?"

Moting Du was furious. The only reason Huangfu Song wasn't seriously injured was because Ning Xuan showed mercy. He had used Huangfu Song's own technique against him but controlled it so perfectly that it only caused superficial wounds. This required not only the ultimate control over power but also a level of strength that far surpassed Huangfu Song's.

Damn it, what kind of monster is this guy! His Cultivation is clearly only at the Third Layer Heavens of the Venerable Realm, yet even a Fifth Layer Heavens expert like Huangfu Song is like a child before him! And on top of it all, he's supposedly restricted by the Saint-Sealing Curtain!

Moting Du was utterly shaken. At the same time, the decision forming in his mind grew even more resolute. However, now was not the time.

"Taishu Ming, you go!" Moting Du spoke indifferently, once again deploying his forces.

At this, many looked at him in confusion, believing it to be an unnecessary move. After all, Taishu Ming was an old-generation powerhouse from the Taishu family. Was it really necessary to send him against someone who couldn't even seriously injure Huangfu Song?

Taishu Ming, however, wore a solemn expression as he stepped forward. While others couldn't see the anomaly, he knew how dangerous the situation was. This Ning Xuan's strength doesn't match his Realm at all! If it weren't for the restriction of the Saint-Sealing Curtain, few people here would be his match!

Approaching Ning Xuan, the white-haired Taishu Ming appeared remarkably humble. "My name is Taishu Ming. I specialize in fist techniques. I ask for your guidance, Sir."

At the same time, he pushed the Element Force within his body to its absolute peak. Facing Ning Xuan, he dared not be the least bit careless.

Ning Xuan, however, still wore the same nonchalant expression as before. With a harmless smile on his face, he said, "Go ahead, Elder."

Without any hesitation, Taishu Ming struck.

BOOM!

His fist flew, and thunder roared. The very void seemed to crack under the force of his punch. It was like a raging tsunami bursting forth, its might shaking heaven and earth. This punch was indomitable and supremely domineering.

Ning Xuan's eyes brightened. He had no intention of dodging. Instead, he threw a punch of his own.

It was the long-unused Tyrant Annihilation Fist.

Not far away, a Demon Path expert laughed.
