“Run away ……” Ning Cheng only had time to call out to Yang Hong Hou before he frantically gathered all of his true essence to cleave out his golden giant axe. The first time he did so, he was able to get out of the way.
The other party only sacrificed a sword shadow from a distance, if it was a real substantial sword mane, Ning Cheng would not even resist, he was sure he could not block it. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a person with a divine sense sacrifice a sword shadow, Ning Cheng feels that he should be able to block it with his full strength.
As long as Yang Hong Hou could understand him in time and quickly activate his battleship, he still had a ray of hope of escaping. Ning Cheng had even made a plan that once Yang Hong Hou could not activate his warship in time, or if this axe of his did not manage to block this sword shadow of his opponent, he would jump into the Yixing Sea and then find a way to enter the Xuanhuang Pearl to escape.
At this time, Ning Cheng even regretted the Blood Transporting Talisman, he did not know how many times he had cursed it in his heart, but there was no way that even if he cursed it more times, the Blood Transporting Talisman could not be changed back again.
Yang Hong Hou was more experienced in battle than Ning Cheng, and once he saw this situation, he knew that he could not help in any way, and the only thing he could do was to control the warship and disappear far away. Therefore, there was no need for Ning Cheng to prompt him, Yang Hong Hou had already rushed into the control room of the warship again and quickly activated the warship.
“Boom ……”
The sword shadow that fell from afar and the golden axe mark that Ning Cheng’s golden giant axe rolled around blasted together, and the exploding true essence qi threw Yang Hong Hou’s warship straight out of the sky. The violent true essence fluctuations stirred up the seawater below in a whirlpool of several feet in circumference.
Some of the cultivators who were still struggling in the sea were directly swept away by this powerful whirlpool and disappeared.
Ning Cheng felt that a ten thousand catty iron hammer had blasted him in the chest, the terrifyingly powerful force was completely unbearable to him.
The next moment Ning Cheng was blown away like a cannonball. His hope of using the warship to escape had been dashed.
While still in the air Ning Cheng spurted out several mouthfuls of blood one after another. There was a burst of searing pain in his meridians. But as he was blasted away. Free from the range of the sword shadow’s aura, his tough and broad meridians were not shattered. However, Ning Cheng could not be happy in his heart, this was just a sword shadow that the other party had sent out at random from a distance, once the other party came face to face with him, how could he have any chance of survival?
The warship controlled by Yang Hong Hou was only blown away by the powerful true essence wave because Ning Cheng had blocked the full power of the sword shadow, but the warship and he himself did not suffer any injuries.
Yang Hong Hou quickly stabilised the warship again, and he surprisingly did not control the warship alone to escape. Instead, he controlled the warship and rushed towards Ning Cheng’s side, obviously wanting to take Ning Cheng away with him.
“Hehe, a mere Yuan Building cultivator can still block one of my divine sense sword shadows? Then try to receive another sword from me ……” As the voice fell, a tall, slender-eyed man appeared in the sky above this sea.
Ning Cheng’s heart sank, just now the other party had almost finished him off with just a sword shadow sent from afar, now this man had come close, how could he dodge it? Moreover, as soon as he took a look at this person, he knew that he had not guessed wrong, this was definitely a Yuan-Soul realm cultivator. And it was also a fellow of the late Yuan Soul realm.
“Haha, Valen. You’re a late Yuan Soul realm cultivator who went to bully a Yuan Building realm cultivator, do you still want to be shameless, I’ll continue to play with you ……” Another voice came, and following this voice came a blade mane that was like a pith.
“Kong Peng Peng, I’ll kill you today before I exterminate all these crickets to avenge Tu Yun ……” The tall man had to give up the idea of continuing to kill Ning Cheng in the face of this piquant blade light and turned around to battle with the incoming person.
Ning Cheng sighed with relief and landed on the warship that Yang Hong Hou had driven over and said to Yang Hong Hou, “Thank you, you could have actually left first just now.”
Yang Hong Hou immediately stood up and said, “Not to mention that my life was saved by Ensign Zhuo, even if I became the Ensign’s personal soldier, I could not escape first on my own.”
Ning Cheng nodded and did not say another word as he began to sit on the deck of the warship to heal his wounds. He had just advanced to the fourth level of Yuan Building, and had only killed an early Xuan Liquid. This complacency hadn’t even warmed up before he was almost killed by someone with a divine sense sword from a long distance away. This strength, it was always too low.
Luckily, Ning Cheng was not seriously injured this time, and that Yuan Soul cultivator was also too far away because that one sword shadow was basically blocked by Ning Cheng’s golden axe scar.
Half a column of incense later, Ning Cheng stood up. It was only at this moment that he was shocked to discover that the battle between these two Yuan Soul Realm cultivators was completely beyond the reach of ordinary people to interfere with. Within a radius of more than a hundred feet where the two were fighting, all of them were surging with raging true essence.
There had long since been no more cultivators or warships within this hundred feet radius, and it was not known whether they had withdrawn in time, or whether they had been blown away by the battle between these two.
The sea within the range of their battle became a tumbling and roaring swirl of waves, and even the nearest spectators had withdrawn thousands of metres away.
Only then did Ning Cheng realise that it was no wonder the highest cultivation level of the cultivators fighting here before was only at the Xuan Liquid realm, daring to say that whenever there were senior cultivators fighting, this battlefield was to be given over to senior cultivators.
The two cultivators were obviously both at the late Yuan Soul stage, the tall, slender-eyed man who had made a move against Ning Cheng had a long sword as his magic treasure, while his opponent was a short man who was not very tall, and the magic treasure this man used was an incomparably wide sword weapon.
The two men’s looks and their magic treasures were completely out of place, but the two men were powerful but could be seen through the gruelling battle.
As the pitched blade and sword auras rolled together, Ning Cheng’s divine sense could only see the powerful vortex of true essence explosions. It was completely impossible to see the positions and movements of the two men clearly.
After another half a column of incense, the tall man rushed out of the range of the blade and sword mangles in anger and stared coldly at Ning Cheng, “Kid, you killed Shen Tu Yun, sooner or later your head will be sent to the Yixing Sea.”
After saying that, he looked at the short statured man he was battling and grunted, “Empty Peng Peng, give you some more time to be complacent, after I advance to the God Shaping Realm, let’s see what you can do to me?”
After these words, his figure flashed a few times and disappeared in an instant.
“Defeated underling, you’re the only one who can advance to God Shaping, and your grandfather Air is staying put? Ugh.” The short male cultivator did not go after the other party, but instead landed at the front of Ning Cheng’s warship.
Yang Hong Hou moved even faster than Ning Cheng and hurriedly stepped forward and gave a military salute, saying. “Yang Hong Hou of the Yifei Battalion wishes to meet General Kong.”
Ning Cheng saw this. He also hurriedly followed Yang Hong Hou’s actions and said. “Yi Cheng Battalion Zhuo Yi meets General Kong.”
At the same time Ning Cheng had already looked clearly at the shoulder plate of the man in front of him, it was blue with six stars, and it said that the General-in-Chief, Air Peng Peng.
“You’re a two-star ensign? I was fighting that slender-eyed one earlier, but my divine sense saw you kill a Xuan Liquid cultivator. The warship beneath your feet was also snatched from that Xuan Liquid cultivator, right? With your skills, you are at least a three-star first lieutenant, how could you still be an ensign?” Empty Pengpeng stared at Ning Cheng and asked suspiciously.
A chill ran down Ning Cheng’s back, he could not have imagined that his actions of killing the enemy were all watched by someone, no wonder that person called Valen wanted to kill him as soon as he arrived. It turned out that people had come specifically for him. And yet, his divine sense was not half aware of it.
Ning Cheng quickly put these thoughts aside, his lack of awareness was not because his vigilance was low, but because he was facing such a large army of Yixing Sea cultivators that he simply could not take care of the rest. To put it bluntly, his cultivation level was still too low. This empty Pengpeng in front of him had obviously discovered that his identity did not match, and if he continued to lie, it would be a dead end once he was discovered.
He hastily cupped his fist and said, “I dare not conceal Senior Empty, my junior is following a merchant ship. Originally, I was going to join the army on Pu Buhai Island. I didn’t expect that the merchant ship was suddenly swept away by a big battle near this island, so junior had to come to this island. Because I did not have the status of a 郏洲修 soldier. I dared not participate in the battle, and later when Zhuo Yi died in battle, I borrowed Ensign Zhuo Yi’s uniform to wear, and that’s how I helped the Jiazhou Cultivator Army fight.”
Ning Cheng did not say this in the tone of voice of the cultivator army’s side, but as an ordinary cultivator. Otherwise, he would not have called himself a junior, and if this empty Peng Peng Zhen’s wanted to take him down, he would not be able to resist.
Empty Pengpeng didn’t know if he believed Ning Cheng’s words or not, he just nodded and said, “You are very good, you turned the tide of battle by yourself, and you crossed over to kill a Xuan Liquid cultivator with your axe intent, that golden axe shadow of yours should have been comprehended from the Angry Axe Valley, right?”
Ning Cheng hurriedly said, “Yes, my magic treasure happened to restrain that person’s Red Cloud Flag, and it was a fluke that I won. If my opponent hadn’t fled, I wouldn’t have been able to win.”
Listening to the tone of this Empty Pengpeng’s voice, he shouldn’t be able to do anything to him? He was also afraid that Empty Pengpeng would catch him, a Yuan Building cultivator, killing a Xuan Liquid cultivator and ask after him, so he hurriedly explained.
“So are you still going to join the Cultivator Army now?” Empty Pengpeng looked at Ning Cheng with admiration however, he had seen Ning Cheng’s performance clearly just now. Not knowing whether it was because he did not think about it or he thought that Ning Cheng’s axe intent was indeed capable of killing Xuan Liquid cultivators, he did not pursue Ning Cheng’s worry.
“I still want to join the Jia Continent Cultivator Army.” Ning Cheng said without hesitation, no matter what Empty Peng Peng thought, he would definitely not be wrong to join the Cultivator Army.
Empty Pengpeng nodded, “You joined the Cultivator Army also to cultivate? To get more cultivation resources?”
“I am a scattered cultivator, and without cultivation resources, progress is difficult. I only reached the Yuan Building Realm because I had some chance, and chance doesn’t come often after all. My spiritual root qualifications are not outstanding either, so if I want to advance to a higher level, the only way to do so is to join the Cultivator Army.” Ning Cheng replied honestly, knowing that he could not be truthful at this time. Moreover, this reason was a perfectly justifiable one.
Empty Pengpeng gave a hmph and said after a moment of contemplation, “The Yi Cheng Battalion has already been overwhelmed, so since you want to continue joining the Cultivator Army, how about joining my Yi Cheng Battalion? Do things under me, you’ll have fun.”
Ning Cheng hurriedly said in an impa*sioned voice, “I am willing to join the Yizheng Battalion and raise the prestige for the Yizheng Battalion.”
Empty Peng Peng was satisfied, he did not doubt Ning Cheng’s words, Ning Cheng’s previous performance had said it all, and then said, “If you join the Yizheng Battalion in your original capacity, you cannot be compiled or promoted as an officer at this time of emergency. You should still join my Yizheng Battalion as Zhuo Yi for the time being, and when the war is over, I will help you change back. Wait, let me see what title should be given to you to ……”
