The Rule Road was about to open and all the cultivators who came to participate in the Rule Road were coming for the first time. No one spoke at this time and there was silence before the lapis lazuli ground.
After another half day, a vague layer of ripples suddenly appeared in the middle of the lapis ground. This layer of ripples was originally faint, but as time passed, the layer became clearer and clearer, forming a square entrance of ripples. Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept in from the outside of the ripples, but was blocked by the ripples, completely unaware of what was inside.
“The entrance to the Rule Road has been revealed, all of you enter the Rule Road.” As an old man standing in front of the ripples spoke, the thousand participants of the Rule Road quickly rushed into the middle of the rippled square entrance.
Ning Cheng felt several divine senses land on him, he was in no hurry and instead followed behind Yan Ji’s small group into the Rule Road.
Ning Cheng thought that the Rule Road was similar to the Secret Realm, it was also just a separate small world. When he saw that the place under his feet was really a path full of grass, he thought to himself that it was really a path.
A complete dao of heaven and earth was felt by the crowd, and most of them shouted out in surprise. Some felt this complete rule of cultivation and felt their comprehension progressing invisibly, and even sat down immediately to begin rounding out their spells and techniques.
Ning Cheng also felt something different, it seemed that in this, he had a somewhat deeper understanding of cultivation techniques and a more thorough understanding of spells and axe intent. But he did not have the same surprise as the others, he felt that this kind of thoroughness and profundity could be achieved even outside if he could quietly comprehend it through the Xuanhuang Origin.
Yan Ji and the others were also full of joy and accelerated their speed forward.
Ning Cheng followed at the end of the small group, his divine sense spreading out. His divine sense was not affected in any way here, at the beginning. His divine sense could still only see a grassy path that was only ten or so metres wide. As his divine sense stretched out, he found that the path was like an endlessly spreading fan, getting wider and wider the further he went, and in the end. His divine sense was completely like mud into the sea. It disappeared without a trace. He could not see what the edge of the rule path was, nor could he see where the direction of this rule path was.
Rather, it was the few traces of divine sense that had locked onto him. Noticed by Ning Cheng, they were Que Penghai and that Hang Jiaojiao from Red Sky Academy, and another one was surprisingly the XuanDan Eighth Level Cultivator who had provoked the purple-skirted woman and Yan Ji. However, that XuanDan eighth level cultivator saw that Ning Cheng had been following behind Yan Ji’s group and did not continue to lock onto Ning Cheng. Instead, he changed direction and led his small group swiftly away.
After a slight discussion between Yan Ji and the XuanDan third layer named Yu Ang, they chose a direction and quickly left as well.
It was only at this time that Ning Cheng realised that no matter which direction he chose, in the end, the front was wide and endless. It was definitely not the grassy path that he had seen at the beginning, which was only about ten metres wide. This was really a strange place.
The nine of them walked swiftly, and after just a pillar of incense, Ning Cheng knew that the divine sense locked onto him had disappeared without a trace.
Yan Ji’s speed had also slowed down, and Ning Cheng understood that this should be the time for him to say goodbye. If he continued to follow this small group. Then it would be annoying. By slowing down his speed, Yan Ji was giving him the opportunity to say goodbye.
Just as Ning Cheng wanted to say goodbye, a burst of owls rang out, followed by countless dense wolf heads appearing in front of everyone’s eyes.
“It’s the Silver Stripe Wolf Demon pack, everyone form a circular formation back to back to block these wolf demons from outside. Don’t ever try to sacrifice flying magic treasures to escape, the Silver Stripe Wolf Demons can glide through the air and will fall into their mouths before the flying magic treasures can be activated.” Desire Ang was the first to understand and immediately shouted out.
Almost at the same time as Desire Ang called out, all of them had already sacrificed their magic treasures. Ning Cheng took out a flying sword after thinking about it, it was impossible for him to take out his Taixu True Devil Axe, while the spear he had just purchased, Broken Xuan, had not been refined by now. In addition, he also had an extremely powerful halberd, but the halberd Ning Cheng intended to give to Meng Jingxiu, and also had not refined it. At this time, he had no other treasures other than taking out his flying sword.
When Yan Ji saw that Ning Cheng had only sacrificed a flying sword, he frowned for a moment and whispered to Ning Cheng, “You lean on my side.”
Ning Cheng took a look at the wolf demons that came over, they were dense and each of them carried beautiful and incomparable silver ring patterns. Moreover, most of these wolf demons were above level three, and there were dozens of level four wolf demons. Even though there were no level five wolf demons, Ning Cheng’s side only had nine people, so it seemed a little difficult to break out from the mouths of these wolf demons.
However, Ning Cheng was not worried, he had the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings, against these wolf demons that could only glide through the air, the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings were really the best option. If it was him alone, he would have already moved his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings to leave.
At this moment, his cultivation level was the lowest here, and Yan Ji had asked him to come closer so that he could take care of him. Ning Cheng had just gotten close to Yan Ji when these wolf demons pounced on him.
Yan Ji’s magic treasure was a green-coloured meteor damask, which was driven by the meteor damask and inspired countless starbursts, which could kill the enemy or form a circle of defensive shields.
Ning Cheng quickly saw that something was wrong, Yan Ji’s meteor damask could be said to be very easy to deal with a third level wolf demon, an ordinary third level silver stripe wolf demon would be directly pierced with a blood hole as long as it was swept by the meteor damask’s star aura. Some of the late fourth level Silverstripe Wolf Demons had thick skin and flesh, so if they were swept by these asteroids, they would only drop some hairs, and the more serious ones would only splash some blood marks, and would not be able to inflict fatal damage at all.
Ning Cheng guessed that Yan Ji’s Star Mantle must still have more powerful ones, but the more powerful ones would consume more, even if Yan Ji desperately inspired more powerful Star Mantles, it would still not be able to kill a few rank four wolf demons. By the time her true essence dried up, the silver-striped wolf demons here would still be there.
Ning Cheng looked at the rest of them again, apart from Lust Ang who could bring up several wolf demon corpses with each attack, the rest of them were far inferior to Yan Ji.
With the speed at which these people killed the wolf demons, and the scenario where there were more and more wolf demons, there was definitely no way to avoid this calamity.
Yan Ji did not execute a killing move, and the Cyan Meteor Aya had already tended to retreat, Ning Cheng was already close to Yan Ji, and once Yan Ji retreated, her back was completely attached to Ning Cheng’s back.
A feeling of extreme softness came through, and in that instant Ning Cheng felt Yan Ji’s body stiffen a little, but it quickly returned to that softness. He knew that this was definitely due to Yan Ji’s immense embarrassment and the fact that she couldn’t hold on any longer, otherwise she couldn’t have backed up to the point where she was leaning against his body.
“Ah ……” A painful cry came from Ning Cheng, who saw Ji Tingting, who was only at the Xuan Liquid layer, being blasted in the chest by the Silver Tattooed Wolf Demon’s blade, bringing up a bloody gash.
If this continued, all nine people here would be finished off by these Silver Tattooed Wolf Demons. Ning Cheng no longer dared to hold back and his flying sword stabbed out, creating an icy cold sword aura out of thin air.
These ice-cold sword maces were as if they had eyes, instantly forming a huge ice-cold killing net. Under the ice net formed by such sword maces, the level three Silver Tattooed Wolf Demons slowed down between breaths, and very few of them even turned into ice and were then killed directly under the sword maces. Even the level four Silver Tattooed Wolf Demons became stagnant because of this endless net of arcane ice spears.
Ning Cheng was pleasantly surprised when he saw this, his true essence and divine sense had increased greatly, and he was able to use his flying sword to cast the Thirty Six Xuan Ice Spears with such great effect, which would have been impossible before. This showed that he was unable to use the Thirty-six Xuan Ice Spears as a killer technique before, not because the Thirty-six Xuan Ice Spears, a Xuan-grade spear technique, was no good, but because his strength was no good.
No wonder Xuan-grade spells were so bullish, as long as one had great strength, Xuan-grade spells were indeed much more powerful than ordinary spells.
Yan Ji was already incredibly powerful, how could she let go when faced with such an opportunity. The starbursts emitted from the Cyan Meteor Aya were no longer scattered over a wide area, but were instead concentrated, forming several starbursts. Without exception, these starbursts passed through the eyes of the rank four Silver Ripple Wolf Demons that were slightly stagnant, and in just a short time, a dozen Silver Ripple Wolf Demons that were affected by the Xuan Bing Sword Aura were killed by her.
Yan Ji was pleasantly surprised, she had never imagined that Ning Cheng’s flying sword spell would be so terrifyingly powerful, this Xuan Ice Sword Aura was not yet able to directly kill the rank four Silver Tattooed Wolf Demons, but with her help on the side, even if there were more of them, they would not be enough to worry about, as long as Ning Cheng could hold on.
Of course Ning Cheng could hold on, originally he was still struggling with how to kill the level four wolf demon, which he could only let linger for a moment. By the time he was about to kill the level four wolf demon, it had long since regained its ability to move. With his cultivation level, it was still impossible to kill a level four wolf demon on a large scale.
And at this time, Yan Ji made up for his shortcomings, and with Yan Ji helping out on the side, it was simply a natural match. His Thirty-Six Spears of Xuan Bing spell could make these Silver Streak Wolf Demons stagnate for a while, and with Yan Ji’s cultivation at the ninth level of Xuan Liquid, he could completely use this time of the Silver Streak Wolf Demons stagnating to kill them.
Yan Ji was so excited to kill that she did not notice that Ning Cheng had already stopped, she was now completely leaning on Ning Cheng’s body, constantly stirring up the starbursts.
The reason why Ning Cheng stopped was because these Silver Tattooed Wolf Demons had started to retreat. The Silver Tattooed Wolf Demons were extremely cunning demon beasts that appeared in packs and had a particularly strong sense of danger. The extensive decimation of the Silver Tattooed Wolf Demons on Ning Cheng’s side had already made the Wolf Demons understand that if they continued to stay behind, it would be certain death.
With a roar from the head wolf, numerous wolf demons left one after another.
“The Silver Tattooed Wolf Demons have retreated ……,” several people from the small group all shouted loudly in excitement.
Earlier when the Silver Stripe Wolf Demon was besieging this squad, almost all of them had focused all of their attention on the Wolf Demon and fought to kill it. Now once the wolf demon retreated, the pressure on the crowd was instantly reduced and they all slowed down.
Desire Ang was also overjoyed, he was sure that these wolf demons had retreated because of his large swathes of decimation, which made the silver-striped wolf demons afraid. He turned around and said with a slight sense of self-congratulation, “Senior sister Ji, although there are many of these Silver Tattooed Wolf Demons, as long as they are made to know that there is no point in besieging them, they will retreat of their own accord ……”
He paused before he finished his words, as he saw Yan Ji actually leaning close behind Ning Cheng.
