Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 94: Invincible Rhetoric, One Sword Instant Kill!

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Invincible Rhetoric, One Sword Instant Kill!

The head closed its eyes and played dead.

This is so damn embarrassing! To think that a dignified King Realm expert like me was actually one-shot by some young punk! Which asshole is feeding me Element Qi?! Can’t you just act human and let me die in peace?!

"I’ll do it!"

Yuan Qingshan’s eyes flickered as he took charge of the head. Grabbing it by the hair, he sent a slap across its face.

SLAP!

The head spun wildly, its hair instantly twisting into a tight braid.

"Looks like he’s really a goner. Should we crack open his skull?" Yuan Qingshan suggested once the head stopped spinning.

"Cough... What happened to me?" The head opened its eyes, looking completely bewildered.

He truly wanted to die, but he had a revelation: this bastard Yuan Qingshan wouldn’t let him rest in peace even after death.

"What exactly happened? Could it be that Ning Xuan has a terrifying Protector with him?" Yuan Qingshan asked with concern.

"Yes, yes, yes! That person was unbelievably terrifying. I only managed one glance before my head was lopped off by a single sword strike!" the head quickly caught on, agreeing emphatically.

"You’re a King Realm expert, yet you were killed instantly. The attacker must be at the Peak of the King Realm at the very least!" Yuan Qingshan said, his face a mask of shock.

"I think she’s even stronger than that! She must have been holding back. Otherwise, she could have killed me with a single glare!"

Since he was already bluffing, he might as well go all out. That way, he might at least die with a good reputation!

Hearing this, the other King Realm experts all gasped. This was simply too terrifying!

"Do you remember what she looked like?"

"Let me think... How could I have forgotten? Her face was a blur; I only remember she was a woman!"

"To be able to erase even your memory of her... her strength must be approaching the Dao!"

The group was horrified, their expressions turning extremely grave.

"Young Mistress, your decision this time was simply brilliant!"

"Thank you for saving my life! From now on, in the Pride Hunting Ground, I will follow your lead without question!"

"Me too!"

"And me!"

The King Realm experts all pledged their allegiance one after another.

"Mm. Old Cheng, you may go in peace. When we return to the Sect, I will report this to the Sect Master and ensure you receive a grand burial," Yuan Yurong said to the head.

The head immediately understood. The mouthful of vital qi and blood he was holding in his throat suddenly collapsed, spraying across the ground.

He departed with great peace.

"Young Mistress, he went to find Zhan Wudi. Should we lend him a hand?" someone asked, their attitude toward Ning Xuan a complete one-eighty from before.

Yuan Yurong shook her head. "We were incredibly fortunate to have escaped with our lives. Rushing in now would be the inferior choice."

Yuan Qingshan nodded. "Alright, then let’s continue searching for the Heavenly Grade Element Veins."

Yuan Yurong opened her mouth to speak but ultimately just nodded.

She had a feeling there were no Heavenly Grade Element Veins left here. Furthermore, the degradation of the veins might have something to do with Ning Xuan! It was only now that she realized how unnervingly calm Ning Xuan had been when he learned that the veins had been degraded. Even if his Mental State was far beyond that of an ordinary person, these were Heavenly Grade Element Veins! I will never make an enemy of him in the future!

Yuan Yurong made a decision in her heart that would affect the rest of her life.

「In the Pride Hunting Ground」

Ning Xuan suddenly felt a pang of loss, as if he had misplaced something valuable.

Don’t tell me someone killed Zhan Wudi! That simply won’t do!

Ning Xuan’s speed suddenly surged.

I have to find him, quickly!

He immediately located an Element Beast and requested its help. In a short while, he knew exactly where Zhan Wudi was.

「In a fractured canyon within the Pride Hunting Ground」

Zhan Wudi was in a standoff with Si Lanyi and Zhongli Ruoruo.

"Ladies, you hail from the Dao Xuan Institute, and I from the Martial God Temple. My combat ability is unrivaled, and your Dao Xuan Technique is peerless. Why don’t we cooperate?"

Si Lanyi glanced at the Martial Artist beside him but remained silent.

Zhongli Ruoruo, however, just smiled. "If her fiancé heard you say that, he’d definitely beat you to death."

"Fiancé? You mean Ning Xuan? My apologies, I was waiting for him myself. Unfortunately for him, his time has run out." Seeing that Si Lanyi was still unperturbed, Zhan Wudi laid his cards on the table. "I just received news that he was ambushed by Yuan Yurong from Su Yue Zhuai. That woman may not be very powerful, but she is utterly ruthless! Most importantly, she brought at least five King Realm experts with her!"

Zhan Wudi expected Si Lanyi’s expression to crumble, but he was disappointed. She reacted as if she hadn’t heard a word.

"You don’t seriously think he could survive an encounter with King Realm Martial Artists, do you?!"

Just then, a smile blossomed on Si Lanyi’s face.

Sensing something was wrong, Zhan Wudi whipped his head around to see Ning Xuan strolling toward them nonchalantly.

"How can you possibly be alive?!" After rubbing his eyes to confirm he wasn’t seeing things, Zhan Wudi was utterly shocked.

"Good, good. You’re still alive too!" Ning Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhan Wudi felt a deep sense of unease. The way Ning Xuan looked at him was too strange, as if he were sizing up a sumptuous feast!

"Did you find a Heavenly Grade Element Vein too? Did its energy also drain away? Oh, right, you haven’t found the reason yet, have you?"

Just as Zhan Wudi was about to erupt in anger, Ning Xuan’s words made him forcefully suppress it.

"Su Yue Zhuai found the reason?!" Zhan Wudi pressed anxiously, his expression tense. He knew very well what a Heavenly Grade Element Vein represented.

Ning Xuan shook his head. "They didn’t find it either."

"You’re messing with me!" Zhan Wudi exploded with anger.

"With a Mental State like yours, you dare call yourself unbeatable? Forget it, you’re no match for me. Let your men handle this," Ning Xuan said, his face a mask of disappointment.

"Very well! Let’s see what gives you the right to be so arrogant! Come, I, Zhan Wudi, challenge you to a deathmatch! No one is to interfere!"

Ning Xuan shook his head.

Zhan Wudi scoffed, "What, scared already? Weren’t you acting tough just a moment ago?!"

"If I win, can you give me the Storage Ring on your hand?" Ning Xuan asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Wudi!" one of the Martial Artists called out, trying to warn him.

Zhan Wudi shot him a nasty glare. "What? Uncle Wu, do you think I’ll lose?!"

"That’s not it. But the Storage Ring on your hand..."

"I know!" Zhan Wudi cut him off forcefully. He then turned back to Ning Xuan and readily agreed. "Fine! But I have a condition as well!"

"Speak."

"If I win, she’s mine!" Zhan Wudi pointed a finger at Si Lanyi.

Before Ning Xuan could even react, Si Lanyi readily agreed.

Zhan Wudi beamed. "Ning Xuan, oh Ning Xuan, it seems your fiancée can’t wait to leave you."

Ning Xuan looked at him as if he were a complete fool. "Has it occurred to you that she might think you’re already a dead man?"

"Enough talk. Let’s settle this for real! I hope you don’t disappoint me!"

Ning Xuan stared at him and asked, "Are you ready?"

Zhan Wudi had just nodded when—

PFFT!

A blade pierced his throat.

The entire clearing fell silent.

Zhan Wudi, born in the Main Hall of the Martial God Temple, was a genuine Direct Disciple. Even within the Martial God Temple, he not only held considerable prestige among the younger generation but was also highly regarded by their elders. Otherwise, this mission would never have fallen to him.

What was even more commendable was that he had recently subdued a King Level Element Beast.

Yet now, he had been instantly killed by Ning Xuan with a single sword strike.
