This was completely unexpected. Si Lanyi and Zhongli Ruoruo hadn’t anticipated it, and neither had the several King Realm powerhouses from the Martial God Temple!
By the ti they regained their senses, Ning Xuan had already snatched the Storage Ring from Zhan Wudi’s hand.
Across from them, Zhan Wudi clutched his throat, his eyes wide as copper bells and filled with indignation and despair. Even now, he couldn’t understand why he had been so thoroughly defeated.
"Ning Xuan, drop the Storage Ring!"
The Martial God Temple’s experts locked onto Ning Xuan, no longer caring about Zhan Wudi’s life or death, ready to retrieve the Storage Ring at any mont.
"I won it fair and square!" Ning Xuan feigned surprise. "What, can’t the Martial God Temple afford to lose a single Storage Ring?"
"Quite the contrary," one of the experts said, attempting to both threaten and entice him. "That Storage Ring is too embarrassing for our Martial God Temple. If you take it and later claim it ca from us, we couldn’t bear the disgrace! Give it back, and you can choose whatever you want. The reputation of the Martial God Temple is our utmost concern, and we will use any ans necessary to protect it!"
As if he hadn’t understood a word, Ning Xuan responded earnestly, "I’m the most kind-hearted person there is. I’ve never taken advantage of anyone."
The corners of the King Realm experts’ mouths twitched.
Kind, my ass! You’re the most shaless one here! Your goal was clear from the very beginning; you were after the Storage Ring all along!
"Young Master Ning," one of them forced out, "what would it take for you to part with your prize?"
"You know I love this Storage Ring, yet you’re asking to part with it? Are you even human?" Ning Xuan countered.
Before they could erupt in anger, he added, "Oh, right. You ntioned the Martial God Temple cares most about its reputation. Surely you wouldn’t stoop to blatantly stealing from just because you’re stronger, would you?"
The King Realm experts nearly coughed up blood.
This kid is inhuman! He was digging a pit for us to jump into this whole ti!
"Young Master Ning jests," an expert said, changing the subject. "Though we are enemies, how could we be so despicable? By the way, before we ca, the Human Emperor asked us to inquire why you slaughtered the innocent mbers of your own Ning Family. As leaders of the continent, it’s not too much to ask for us to seek justice for those who died so wrongfully, is it?"
Their killing intent surged, and the Majestic Pressure of the King Realm Martial Artists was fully unleashed.
Ning Xuan nodded. "Not too much at all. In fact, you’re right. So, I’ve decided..."
WHOOSH!
He vanished. In the next instant, a bloody hole appeared in the forehead of one of the King Realm Martial Artists.
A King Realm expert, killed in a single sword strike!
The mont Ning Xuan attacked, Si Lanyi had grabbed Zhongli Ruoruo and started running for their lives. But they were a step too late.
"Where do you think you’re going!"
A terrifying Majestic Pressure swept over the land, immobilizing both Si Lanyi and Zhongli Ruoruo.
WHOOSH!
The King Realm Martial Artist blocking their path was also killed in a single sword strike.
"Run!" Ning Xuan’s deep voice bood, his gaze as sharp as lightning as he stared down the four remaining King Realm experts.
Without hesitation, Si Lanyi pushed her speed to its limit. She might be a Martial Dual Cultivator and a one-in-a-million Primordial Dao Xuan Master, but she was facing King Realm experts! Gritting her teeth, she said nothing, unleashing her Dao Xuan Technique to its fullest to send Zhongli Ruoruo flying far away. Then, she spun around resolutely, enveloped Ning Xuan, and frantically channeled her Primordial Dao Xuan Technique.
"She’s a Primordial Dao Xuan Master!"
As Si Lanyi pushed her technique to the extre, the remaining four King Realm experts instantly realized what she was. Their killing intent soared.
"Don’t move!" Ning Xuan’s cold voice rang out. "Whoever moves, dies!"
He had been so focused on helping the two won escape that he had completely forgotten Si Lanyi’s capabilities. But even with her return, their situation was grim. Her power as a Primordial Dao Xuan Master was formidable, but it couldn’t make up for the massive energy he had just expended. If they showed the slightest weakness now, neither of them would survive.
Previously, Ning Xuan’s threats would have ant nothing to a King Realm expert. But things were different now. He had struck twice, instantly killing two of their own. His strength was terrifying. Even with four of them left, they dared not act rashly.
However, the abilities of a King Realm Martial Artist were far beyond those of ordinary cultivators. In an instant, they noticed sothing was wrong. Ning Xuan had expended a trendous amount of energy! He could strike one more ti, at most, before he was completely spent.
The four experts quickly communicated via voice transmission and ca to an agreent.
RUMBLE—
The void trembled violently as the four of them joined forces, an unprecedented act! For four King Realm experts to team up against a single Earth Realm Martial Artist—if word of this got out, it would shake the world!
SPURT! SPURT! SPURT!
Three sounds rang out almost simultaneously. The first was Ning Xuan annihilating another King Realm Martial Artist. The next two were the sounds of people spitting blood.
Ning Xuan and Si Lanyi both coughed up blood at the sa ti. Though he was on the verge of collapse, Ning Xuan’s body remained ramrod straight. Blood stread from Si Lanyi’s seven orifices, but she ignored her own condition, attempting to use her Dao Xuan Technique to restore Ning Xuan’s Elent Force. It was futile. Her injuries were even more severe than his, preventing her from fully casting her technique.
The three remaining King Realm experts no longer rushed to attack. Their two opponents were at the end of their rope; a coback was impossible.
"An Earth Realm Martial Artist instantly killing three of our King Realm comrades... Ning Xuan, your abilities far exceed our imagination!" one of them sneered. "What a pity. A prodigy who can’t grow to maturity is destined to be quickly forgotten. The Pride Hunting Ground will be your burial ground!"
Ning Xuan coughed up more blood. "Cough... cough... Let her go. She has nothing to do with this."
"A fully-developed Primordial Dao Xuan Master is even more terrifying than you. Do you think we’re that foolish?"
"I have sothing you can’t refuse!" Ning Xuan said, trying to bargain.
"Let’s hear it," one replied coldly. They weren’t afraid of him stalling for ti. They worked together to construct a Domain, sealing Ning Xuan and Si Lanyi inside. Any move they made would be instantly detected.
"The degradation of the Heavenly Grade Divine Vein... I caused it." Ning Xuan didn’t hide the truth.
The three were about to scoff, but the mory of him instantly killing their comrades of the sa realm stopped their laughter cold.
"Prove it." As one of them spoke, he moved to lift the seal.
"No need. Your Domain can’t hold ."
As Ning Xuan spoke, he activated his Gluttonous Divine Vein and the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture in unison. To the experts’ shock, their Domain was truly ineffective against him! At the sa ti, the energy from the nearby Divine Vein began to rapidly converge on Ning Xuan.
"Enough!"
Their faces changed drastically as they imdiately interrupted him.
This kid has given us too many surprises... no, shocks! If we let him continue, who knows what will happen!
One of the King Realm experts glanced at Si Lanyi and sneered. "Won really are nothing but trouble! But this ti, we have you to thank." He then turned his cold gaze back to Ning Xuan. "The more heaven-defying you are, the more certain it is that we cannot let either of you leave here alive! Today, you both die!"
"I know you can get away! They can’t stop you!" Si Lanyi suddenly shouted. "Go, now! Don’t worry about , they wouldn’t dare touch !"
After a mont of shock, the faces of the three experts paled. One of them instantly vanished, chasing in the direction Zhongli Ruoruo had fled.
