Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 90 Sword Beam Pierces the Sky, Vast as Entering the Clouds!
"With it, I should be able to instantly kill an expert who has just entered the King Realm with one sword strike! However, merging it with the Kunpeng Technique consumes a great deal of Element Force. At my current stage, I can only use it once!"
Ning Xuan assessed his capabilities and came to this conclusion. Of course, that doesn’t count going all out! If I truly put my life on the line, I could use it at least three times. Then again, with such a heaven-defying Body Technique Skill at my disposal, I could just run away if I couldn’t win. Only an idiot would stay and fight to the death!
With light steps, Ning Xuan continued forward. The Pride Hunting Ground no longer held much appeal for him. He wanted to find Yuan Yurong and Zhan Wudi quickly!
"What’s going on? Who’s looking for death?!"
Zhan Wudi’s aura was immense. He was resting his head on an Element Beast’s belly, leisurely savoring fine wine. Large patches of scales had fallen from the Element Beast, and it was missing one of its hard horns. As it breathed, Element Qi coiled around its body. It was unmistakably a King Level Element Beast!
Zhan Wudi was also covered in blood, but the vessel in his hand was a perfect match for the beast’s missing horn!
「Within an elemental vein in the Pride Hunting Ground.」
Yuan Yurong suddenly clutched her chest.
A lecherous glint flashed in Wang Yu’s eyes before he quickly comforted her, "Senior Sister, it’s just a Seventh Grade elemental vein. We can just find another one!"
Yuan Yurong took a deep breath and spat out a cold remark, "You ignorant frog in a well! This isn’t a Seventh Grade elemental vein. This was originally a Heavenly Grade elemental vein! Its energy simply dissipated not long ago, causing its grade to drop!"
Elemental veins are divided into twelve grades. Above the Ninth Grade are the Heavenly, Divine, and Holy Grades! Even Eighth and Ninth Grade veins are incredibly rare. Currently, each of the three major powers possesses only a single Ninth Grade elemental vein! If she could bring a Heavenly Grade elemental vein back to the sect, she would absolutely become the future Sect Master of Su Yue Zhuai! This was despite her not even being a Saintess yet!
At this thought, Yuan Yurong’s heart ached again. If only I had found this place sooner! How wonderful would that have been!
"A Heavenly... a Heavenly Grade elemental vein!" Wang Yu stuttered.
If they could truly possess a Heavenly Grade elemental vein, Su Yue Zhuai would undoubtedly become the true ruler of this continent! Not even the Martial God Temple and its Emperor Realm expert could stop them! A single Heavenly Grade elemental vein could forge countless supreme Martial Arts experts! Two fists are no match for four hands!
"But Senior Sister, wasn’t it said that the energy of a Heavenly Grade elemental vein doesn’t just disappear? It’s incredibly difficult to refine unless a peerless expert above the Emperor Realm takes action!" Wang Yu suddenly realized.
Yuan Yurong was also taken aback, but then she checked again to confirm.
「A moment later.」
"That’s right, this was originally a Heavenly Grade elemental vein!" Yuan Yurong declared with absolute certainty.
"Damn, could there be a Divine Beast nearby?!" Wang Yu instantly grew alert, looking around warily, and Yuan Yurong became vigilant as well.
The same thing was happening with Zhan Wudi. Just moments ago, his subordinates had reported finding a suspected Heavenly Grade elemental vein. After Zhan Wudi arrived and confirmed it multiple times, he immediately grew tense. If there really was a Divine Beast in here, they were completely screwed.
Among the disciples of the three major powers, Si Lanyi and Zhongli Ruoruo were the most relaxed. The two were sightseeing like tourists, completely lacking the tension of being in the Pride Hunting Ground. Of course, this was also related to their strength. It wasn’t that no one attacked them, but the seemingly defenseless pair were terrifyingly powerful. Si Lanyi, in particular, seemed to be constantly surrounded by a water-curtain barrier, detecting enemies long before they got close. Afterward, they would be swallowed by Wang Yang.
"Oh no! Junior Sister, I remember Master told us to look for something before we set off, right? I was daydreaming at the time and didn’t pay attention." Zhongli Ruoruo giggled. "I know you’re the best at listening to Master. Do you remember what we’re supposed to be looking for?"
Si Lanyi nodded. "I do. Master said there might be a Heavenly Grade elemental vein in this land. She also said the Martial God Temple and Su Yue Zhuai would definitely send more people to search for it, and she urged us to be mindful as well."
Zhongli Ruoruo’s eyes widened. "A Heavenly Grade elemental vein? Junior Sister, why didn’t you remind me sooner! Come on, let’s go find it right now!"
Si Lanyi glanced at her without a word. She wasn’t sure if Zhongli Ruoruo was faking it, but it didn’t seem like it now. This puzzled her slightly. She trusted Ning Xuan.
I’m getting carried away. Whether she has a hidden agenda or not has little to do with this matter.
Si Lanyi suddenly came to a realization but remained perfectly calm. "Why bother searching? If it were that easy to find, don’t you think someone would have found it by now?"
"Can’t argue with that!" Zhongli Ruoruo nodded, then went back to frolicking without a care in the world. Si Lanyi could tell that she was genuinely enjoying herself.
Suddenly, Si Lanyi smiled mischievously. "I suspect you’re doing this on purpose! Do you think I’m too idle? In that case, I..."
「Meanwhile, somewhere in the Pride Hunting Ground.」
Ning Xuan suddenly sneezed. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Is Yi Yi that bored already? She actually has time to think about me. Ning Xuan murmured narcissistically to himself.
Soon, he also felt a sense of emptiness. "Didn’t they say the Pride Hunting Ground is filled with danger at every turn? Where is it?" Ning Xuan looked up at the sky, highly dissatisfied.
The heavens were speechless. Dammit! Never mind the other Martial Artists in this place. Just the Element Beasts alone would have formed a terrifying horde capable of tearing even a peak King Realm expert to shreds! But you, you infuriating bastard, you just made them all submit! And the Hunters! There were experts from the top families of The Capital among them, yet not a single one could withstand a single sword strike from you! Then there were the King’s Palace’s Divine Martial Guards, the Shadow Guards, the prodigies from the Pride Rankings, powerful Dao Xuan Masters, top assassins... and you killed every last one of them! And another thing! You even struck down those two beautiful girls without hesitation! Dammit! You’re a real piece of work!
RUMBLE—
Above the sky, dark clouds suddenly gathered.
"Oh-ho? Got angry just because I said one thing about you? Damned Sky, taste my sword!" As Ning Xuan spoke, he actually unleashed a sword strike toward the heavens!
A peerless Sword Beam shot skyward, piercing straight into the vast clouds!
PFFT!
The dark clouds instantly dissipated.
The heavens were speechless once more, despairing. Fine, you win! I’m scared of you, you damn bastard! Isn’t that enough?!
Ning Xuan looked up, puzzled. "Why is the weather as fickle as a young lady’s mood? Changing on a whim."
The heavens fumed in silence. Damn it! I can’t let this bastard stay idle. I have to find something to keep him busy!
「Soon.」
Ning Xuan heard excited voices nearby.
"Did you hear? Fairy Yurong of Su Yue Zhuai discovered a Heavenly Grade elemental vein! Almost everyone is heading over there! Above Ninth Grade, elemental veins are a once-in-a-millennium sight! And there’s actually a Heavenly Grade one here! Let’s go! Even if we only manage to pick up some scraps from the side, the benefits will be immense!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Xuan’s eyes lit up. An elemental vein that can boost my strength is exactly what I need right now! I can’t miss this opportunity!
Without hesitation, Ning Xuan followed the crowd.
「Half an hour later.」
Ning Xuan emerged from the shadows.
Ahead lay a long, narrow canyon. The valley floor and the surrounding ridges were teeming with people.
The moment he appeared, they all noticed him and turned to look his way
