After Sikong Kai had removed his clothes, his hand was already reaching for the lapel of the purple-skirted woman, and just at that moment, a faint light suddenly shot out from the lapel of the purple-skirted woman. The light was fast, and with such close proximity, it shot into his heart before he had even snapped out of his desire.
As soon as the faint light entered his chest, Sikong Kai’s true essence immediately stagnated. He immediately knew that someone had backstabbed him and his first reaction was to wrap himself around what had shot into his heart. Despite his haste, he was a little flustered, but not nervous.
As a Xuan Liquid cultivator, as soon as the light shot into his chest, he knew that it was merely a needle-shaped magic weapon. It was too much to underestimate him to try to a*sa*sinate him with a needle-shaped magic weapon. As long as he was given two breaths of time, he would be able to force out this needle-shaped magic weapon.
Ning Cheng had already driven the Seven Obsidian Ice Needles to make his move, so would he be able to give Sikong Kai another two breaths of time? Even if it was half a breath of time, he would not give it. Almost at the same time as the Seven Obsidian Ice Needles succeeded in their sneak attack, a golden axe mane swept towards Sikong Kai at the same time.
The second style of the Angry Axe, the Whirlwind.
This was Ning Cheng’s fastest and most powerful axe intent killing move.
Ning Cheng knew the point of a sneak attack, it had to be a killing blow, once he stalled with his opponent, it was not a sneak attack, it was a proper killing blow. Once the fight was over, Ning Cheng thought that he was not yet a match for a Xuan Liquid cultivator.
The powerful golden axe killing vortex had taken shape within a breath, and in less than the second breath, it had already blasted at Sikong Kai’s dantian.
What a powerful and furious axe killing intent, Sikong Kai felt the strong and extreme axe killing intent and became a little alarmed in his heart. He sensed that this sneak attack was not as simple as he had imagined.
He no longer cared about the Seven Obsidian Ice Needles that were already close to his dantian, and casually offered up a black soul-destroying sword.
“Boom ……” An explosive blast rang out inside the stone room, completely destroying the door. This stone room was constructed of some unknown material and surprisingly did not collapse.
Instead, the underside of the stone chamber was smashed open, revealing a dark hole. A rotten smell came from inside the hole, and Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu didn’t even need their divine sense to observe it, they knew that it was full of corpses down there.
The golden vortex of killing intent that Ning Cheng had inspired was surprisingly blocked by Sikong Kai in his haste, leaving only a few bloodstains in front of Sikong Kai’s dantian.
Meng Jingxiu, who was watching from the side, had a sinking feeling in her heart, she knew that this axe was probably Ning Cheng’s most powerful move, and that such a move had failed to traumatize Sikong Kai, so that meant that they were in grave danger today.
Understanding the situation, Meng Jingxiu was about to go forward to help when she saw Sikong Kai throwing a punch at Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was burning his essence blood, and Meng Jingxiu could see it right away. The after-effects of burning essence blood were great, and Meng Jingxiu knew that Ning Cheng had no way out now.
“Boom ……” Sikong Kai’s fist blasted right into Ning Cheng’s chest, and while Ning Cheng flew backwards, an explosion suddenly sounded from Sikong Kai’s front chest as well.
Meng Jingxiu quickly rushed out and held Ning Cheng in her arms, and she was shocked to find that half of Sikong Kai’s stomach had disappeared. All of his internal organs had been blown up in a horrible mess.
A burst of weakness came from him, Sikong Kai was in a state of anger, he did not expect his opponent to be so decisive and explode himself the ice needle magic weapon that had already invaded his body.
Sikong Kai, who was originally going to take advantage of the situation to kill Ning Cheng, found that he could not raise his true essence at all, plus he saw the appearance of Meng Jingxiu, he was even more devoid of battle intent and turned around to flee.
Instead, the drained Ning Cheng once again spurted out a mouthful of essence blood and sacrificed the giant axe in his hand.
Another golden axe slashed through, this time it did not bring up any killing momentum, it just turned into a thin line of axe shadow and slashed down diagonally from Sikong Kai’s shoulder.
“Poof ……” Sikong Kai was directly split open by this axe for a small part of his body. Even so, the other half of Sikong Kai’s body could still move, and in an instant had disappeared from the doorway of the stone room where the fight was taking place.
Without hesitation, Ning Cheng threw out several more formation flags, and the trapping formation he had set up at the entrance of the tomb suddenly opened. Just a few breaths later, a miserable scream came from the entrance of the tomb.
It took only a dozen breaths for this sneak attack to take place, but it was swift and quick in the middle. By the time Meng Jingxiu was ready to help, the fight was already over. The scream that came from outside was clearly heard by Meng Jingxiu, and it was Sikong Kai’s.
Meng Jingxiu knew that Ning Cheng had set up a trapping and killing formation outside, she did not know that this trapping and killing formation was for Ning Cheng’s preparation for his escape, and now that she saw Ning Cheng’s trapping and killing formation destroy the fleeing Sikong Kai, she admired Ning Cheng’s foresight even more in her heart.
Ning Cheng was weak and blood was frothing from the corners of his mouth, he knew very well that he had to leave this place as soon as possible.
“Senior sister Jingxiu, pick up Sikong Kai’s storage ring, let’s hurry, there is an opened stone bead by the grave ……”
Hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Meng Jingxiu was then suddenly startled, she immediately went over and took down Sikong Kai’s storage ring, and carried the unconscious purple-skirted woman on her back, then picked up Ning Cheng and quickly rushed out of this stone room, quickly burrowing out of the tomb.
Ning Cheng was too badly injured and was also unconscious. If he hadn’t sneaked in front of him and had the inner armour given to him by the old crone, Sikong Kai’s punch would have killed him.
……
After leaving the tomb, Meng Jingxiu did not dare to look back at all, and only knew to run wildly all the way.
The night pa*sed quickly, and when the sky began to dawn, Meng Jingxiu found herself actually out of this mountain range, and she accelerated her speed even more in her elation.
After an hour had pa*sed, the sky was completely bright and Meng Jingxiu saw her first village, and she quickly arrived outside it. When she saw the condition of the village clearly, she felt a pang of numbness in her head.
The village was dead and silent, even more miserable than the tomb.
With just a casual sweep of Meng Jingxiu’s divine sense, she could see the state of wreckage inside the village. The scattered corpses made Meng Jingxiu’s heart shudder with fear. She did not dare to stay for a moment, and even more so, she did not dare to enter the village, bypa*sing it and speeding up once again.
When Ning Cheng woke up, Meng Jingxiu was still running. However, at this time, her face was flushed, she was panting, and her sweat was even seeping through Ning Cheng’s body. Not only that, but her footsteps were even a little weak.
Ning Cheng immediately knew that this was caused by Meng Jingxiu’s excessive consumption of true essence, “Senior sister Jingxiu ……”
“Senior Brother Xiao Cheng, you’re awake?” Meng Jingxiu said in surprise, while stopping.
“Hmm, should be fine after just resting for a while, how long have I been unconscious?” Ning Cheng knew what had happened to him, his meridians had been reshaped and nourished by the Xuanhuang Origin, although that punch was powerful, as long as he woke up, he could slowly recover, it was just a matter of how long it took.
“It’s been seven or eight hours, I’m afraid that woman will come after me, so I’ve been running.” Meng Jingxiu finished and looked back at the purple-skirted woman on her back, “She doesn’t seem to have woken up yet, I don’t know if she’s been moved by some means.”
“It should be fine, you should stop running now, let’s find a place to stay, then I’m going to start healing my injuries.” Ning Cheng knew that if he did not recover from his injuries, with a speed like Meng Jingxiu’s, even if he ran for a few more days and nights, he would not be able to escape a Xuan Liquid cultivator’s pursuit.
Only when his injuries disappeared would there be more to do. It was a pity that his Seven Obsidian Ice Needle had exploded on itself, so he would have one less weapon to defend himself with in the future.
Another hour later, Meng Jingxiu brought Ning Cheng and the purple-skirted woman to a small town and settled down at an inn.
The purple-skirted woman was in a coma and Ning Cheng had not yet recovered from his injuries, so Meng Jingxiu asked for a large room and the three of them stayed together. There were two small rooms inside the big room, so she and the purple-skirted woman had one room to take care of her, while Ning Cheng asked for a separate room.
Ning Cheng could only simply set up a shielding formation because he had not yet recovered from his serious injuries, and then began to heal.
After a day had pa*sed, Ning Cheng’s injuries had stabilised. He had been injured too badly, and without advanced healing pills, he could only recover slowly.
Ning Cheng did not ask Meng Jingxiu to leave right away, but continued to stay inside the inn. He had to sort out all the things he had obtained, most notably the two rings he had obtained in the Angry Axe Valley and the mirror.
These three items, Ning Cheng had wanted to take them out and observe them for a long time, but he just never had the time to spare. Now that he was free, the first thing he did was to take out the ring where his Yuan Shen was hidden. Compared to the mirror, Ning Cheng was more interested in knowing what was inside this ring.
Ning Cheng knew very well that a ring could hold a Yuan Shen, this ring was definitely not simple. Ordinary storage bags and rings had no way of holding a Yuan Shen.
Probably because that Yuan Shen often had to go in and out of the ring, the ring’s ban was not very complicated, and in just an hour, Ning Cheng had already broken the ring’s ban.
When Ning Cheng saw the contents of the ring, he froze in his tracks. He did not know if the ring was rich, or barren.
There were only three things inside the ring, the first was a dan furnace, the second was still a dan furnace. The third item was a pile of top quality spirit stones, and Ning Cheng roughly estimated that the pile of top quality spirit stones was at least millions.
Other than that, there were no spirit herbs, pills, jade slips or magic treasures.
Ning Cheng frowned for a moment, he was sure that there was something else in that wooden hut, maybe it was a magic treasure hidden by that Yuan Shen, but unfortunately he surprisingly did not have the time to check it out. As such a powerful expert, it was impossible for him to not have any magic treasures. Now that his ring did not find them, nor did he find something necessary for a cultivator, it meant that the Yuan Shen that he had exterminated had another ring.
Leaving this ring untouched for the time being, Ning Cheng took out another ring. This ring, he guessed, should belong to that Cold Xiang.
Ning Cheng had a very good feeling about this Cold Christina whom he had never met before. If it wasn’t for Cold Xiang’s cave, he wouldn’t have progressed so fast.
