Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 86: To Ascend the Destiny List, Peerless Geniuses Hunt Ning Xuan!
The two immediately concealed themselves. Soon after, they saw Ning Xuan appear, a smile on his face and a spring in his step.
"That damn cur must have found a treasure!" Qi Lin muttered jealously.
Lu Ming’s killing intent was glacial. "Kill him!"
I might not be able to defeat that beast, but there’s no way I can’t handle a mere Ning Xuan!
Qi Lin nodded. Since the Everlasting Spring Technique was so powerful even in the hands of a beast, Lu Ming’s increase in strength had to be even greater than he imagined. This was a sure thing! He grew excited.
"Attack!"
At Lu Ming’s command, the two struck simultaneously. True to their status as elites on the Pride List, their pincer attack was perfectly coordinated.
BOOM!
A loud explosion tore through the air. Moving like thunder and lightning, they instantly appeared before Ning Xuan.
Qi Lin, true to the ’forest’ in his name, was swift as the wind and imposing as the woods! His attacks were both fast and fierce. Known for his leg techniques, he instantly unleashed a flurry of eighteen kicks! Each kick was accompanied by a crack of thunder. With all eighteen kicks launched at once, the air roared like a sea of lightning!
On the other side, Lu Ming’s assault seemed deceptively gentle. Yet, as he made his move, everything around him shattered into dust! He was like a powerful undertow beneath a calm sea, a silent force that dwarfed the roar of thunder!
Ning Xuan had no time to draw his sword. However, his punch came out like a dragon!
BOOM!
As Ning Xuan’s fist flew forward, the very air twisted and burst apart!
BANG!
His fist collided with Qi Lin’s leg. A mist of blood exploded into the air!
With a horrific scream, Qi Lin was blasted away like a cannonball, landing more than a hundred feet away. He had been perfectly fine when he attacked, but now, only the upper half of his body remained.
Lu Ming’s fate was no better. When Ning Xuan’s fist met his palm, the entire side of his body exploded!
The recent disturbance of the world’s Element Qi in the valley had attracted many Martial Artists. At this moment, hidden in the shadows, they were all completely stunned.
The elites on the previous Pride List had truly fought their way out of the Pride Hunting Ground. Three years had passed, and their strength had only grown. And yet, they couldn’t even withstand a single punch from Ning Xuan!
"Fuck! His swordsmanship is already unreal, but his physical strength is this terrifying too?"
"Goddammit! Is he even going to let anyone else live?!"
"This can’t be! Dong Cang absolutely cannot allow someone this incredible to exist!"
"He must die!"
In an instant, most of the onlookers who had rushed over reached a consensus. A few were still hesitating, but a piece of news made them finalize their decision.
"Ning... Ning Xuan killed Princess Mingzhu!"
"What did you say?!"
"It’s true! He even chopped off her head and kicked it around like a ball!"
"The nerve of that Ning Xuan! What is he trying to do, rebel?!"
"This man is a traitor of the highest order! We can’t let him live!"
"Today, we join forces to hunt a prodigy!"
In a flash, the surrounding area was saturated with killing intent.
Ning Xuan saw the shadowy figures all around him and became excited.
"Kill!"
With a low roar, Ning Xuan charged.
Those outside who had planned to besiege him were dumbfounded. He’s all alone, yet he dares to take the offensive. Is this motherfucker insane?
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Sword light flashed, and one head after another flew into the air.
Some took advantage of the chaos to get close to Ning Xuan.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Ning Xuan punched out, and one person after another exploded into a mist of blood! At close range, his fists were even more brutal than his sword.
"Hahaha, exhilarating!"
Cultivating in the valley had allowed him to advance by two layers. Now at the Eleventh Layer Heavens of the Earth Realm, Ning Xuan was like a peerless war god when he punched, utterly domineering and unrivaled! When he drew his sword, he was the most breathtaking Sword God in the world, simply invincible!
Before long, the ground had become a river of blood.
Someone screamed and chose to flee. With the first person running, the rest immediately broke. Like birds startled by the twang of a bow, they scattered in all directions.
Ning Xuan was just getting into the swing of his slaughter and had no intention of letting them escape. With a long cry, he fixed his gaze on one direction and gave chase. In an instant, that area was purged. Moving like a bolt of lightning, Ning Xuan immediately switched his heading.
In the distance, atop several mountain peaks, figures with dazzling eyes watched over the valley. They too had been drawn by the disturbance in the Element Qi, but since the fluctuations had suddenly vanished and they were too far away, they had climbed higher for a better view. As a result, they witnessed an unbelievable scene.
"What’s going on? Is that one person hunting down a whole group?"
"Such speed! Such a swift sword! Could that be Ning Xuan?!"
"Ning Xuan! I never imagined his fists were as terrifying as his swordplay!"
These individuals stared at the valley, their expressions varied. Some had flickering eyes, no doubt scheming something wicked. There were also powerful experts from the Pride List, their fighting spirit brimming and their auras as vast as the ocean.
Atop one mountain peak, a young man’s lips curled into a smirk. "We were the prey before. This time, let’s enjoy the thrill of hunting a prodigy! Gentlemen, who among you is willing to join me in hunting Ning Xuan?"
"Count me in!"
"How could I miss out on something this fun?"
"I’m in."
"He has finally become worthy of our attention."
A total of five people, including the youth, stated their agreement. Even after witnessing Ning Xuan’s power, they still chose to act, for they were the top five from the previous Pride List. The unprecedented reason they had banded together this time was their desire to charge onto the Destiny List.
Ordinarily, they would never have entertained such a thought. But if even a nameless nobody like Wu Pianpian could make it onto the Destiny List, why couldn’t they? With the top five from the Pride List joining forces, they had absolute strength and confidence.
Ning Xuan would be their first stepping-stone to ascend the Destiny List.
"Let’s go!"
At the lead youth’s command, the five of them leaped down from the mountain peak.
Unaware that he was being targeted, Ning Xuan collected all the Storage Rings after reaping a wave of heads. He couldn’t help but feel disappointed after sorting through them. The resources he obtained weren’t even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. The higher one’s Cultivation Realm, the more energy was required to advance a single layer.
"Element Crystals are starting to be insufficient for my needs. I have to find a higher-grade Element Vein. Or perhaps... I should go check out the Storage Rings of the Su Yue Zhuai and Martial God Temple disciples," Ning Xuan muttered to himself, stroking his chin.
「In the Pride Hunting Ground.」
Zhan Wudi, having just killed an Element Beast with a single punch, suddenly sneezed.
Yuan Yurong, who was being doted on by Wang Yu to her heart’s content, suddenly grew inexplicably irritable.
Even Cao Bin and Zhang Yun from the Dao Xuan Institute felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
「By a cold pond.」
Si Lanyi and Zhongli Ruoruo were leisurely soaking their feet. Two pairs of jade-white feet dangled in the water. It was a pity the spot was too secluded for anyone to witness them.
"Are you sure it’s this way?"
"Yes, this direction! Hurry up, or we’ll miss the show!"
"Are you certain the five top elites have teamed up to hunt Ning Xuan?"
"Absolutely!"
A pair of figures flew past high above them, quickly vanishing from sight.
Zhongli Ruoruo, an expression of pure bliss on her face, opened her eyes and glanced at Si Lanyi. "Little Junior Sister, your little lover is in trouble."
Si Lanyi appeared completely indifferent. "It doesn’t matter. Once he’s dead, I’ll just find another."
Zhongli Ruoruo was speechless.
Ning Xuan was also speechless.
