The fifteenth match had begun and the monks in the square were still talking about the fourteenth match, and Yatian was the focus of attention.
Ning Cheng swept a glance at Yatian, no wonder this fellow was not afraid of Ji Pingzhong’s threat, his strength was definitely not inferior to Ji Pingzhong. Even without using his divine sense to observe Yatien’s detailed combat situation, Ning Cheng could guess that Yatien had not used his full strength to defeat Night Lopping. In other words, this fellow had hidden his strength.
The fifteenth match quickly passed and Ning Cheng’s qualification token lit up again. Ning Cheng did not hesitate and directly leapt onto the dueling platform.
Both Ning Cheng and JI He were both nameless people whom not many people knew. If JI He had not been trapped by the Tai Su Secret Realm for 60,000 years, even fewer people would have known him.
No one bothered to talk about Ning Cheng after he came on stage, but it was Cen Caixuan who looked at Ning Cheng with some disbelief. As JI He’s fiancée, although she did not care much about JI He, she knew how many points JI He had. If we were talking about alchemy, JI He could still be a bit competent. In a place like the Tai Su Grand Competition, where strength was being competed, JI He would simply be a joke up there.
The green-skirted woman standing next to Ceng Caixuan also exclaimed in amazement, “Caixuan, this guy actually didn’t sell his qualification token and really came to the Great Tai Su Competition, is he crazy?”
Ceng Caixuan did not answer the words of the green-skirted woman beside her, she also thought that JI He was crazy. Anyone who could participate in such a grand competition could kill him, JI He, in seconds. Previously, she ≈also thought that the reason why JI He was displaying a bunch of divine spirit herbs and taking a spot in the grand competition was because he wanted to sell them. Or rather, JI He was helping the Xuan Yue Divine Sect in exchange for the spot.
And now, it seemed that was not the case at all. JI He had gone up to the tournament stage. It was obvious that he wanted to participate in the bout himself.
Ning Cheng had just stood on the dueling tournament stage. A man with some black spots on his face flew and landed in front of Ning Cheng.
As soon as this man came up. Ning Cheng could tell that this fellow was of Eternal Perfection cultivation. The black spots on his face carried a hint of a bizarre aura, which could be seen to be caused by cultivating a technique.
Seeing Ning Cheng offer up a medium grade divine weapon lance, the man’s gaze swept over Ning Cheng’s lance and said in an indifferent tone, “Admit defeat voluntarily and I won’t hurt you. Otherwise, if I move my hand, I am afraid that it will be too late for you to admit defeat.”
As he spoke. His aura then surged up wildly, directly suppressing Ning Cheng’s domain.
Ning Cheng allowed his opponent’s domain to gain the upper hand and did not drum up his domain to counterattack. With his strength, if he wanted to drum up his domain to counterattack, this black-faced male cultivator’s domain would simply not be able to deal a blow.
“Less nagging.” Ning Cheng didn’t say anything, and the lance in his hand blasted out in a moderate manner. The lance merely brought up a few gun patterns, without any divine power additions, and even the spatial laws Ning Cheng did not use. He understood very well what he had come here for, not to tell others how strong he was. Rather, he wanted to go to the Extra-terrestrial Divine Spring. As long as he could go to the Extra-terrestrial Divine Spring, it did not matter even if he ranked tenth.
“You seek death ……,” the black-spotted-faced man shouted angrily. His domain had completely suppressed Ning Cheng’s domain, and in this situation, not only did Ning Cheng not admit defeat, but he also dared to sacrifice his spear and take the initiative to strike, if he wasn’t looking for death, what was it?
With a wave of his hand, a black cloud suddenly appeared in between him and Ning Cheng. A putrid smell quickly spread out, and only then did Ning Cheng see clearly that it was not a black cloud, but a piece of shrouded corpse cloth.
To be honest, this was the first time Ning had seen someone using a shrouded corpse cloth as a magic treasure. This piece of shrouded corpse cloth of the black-spotted-faced man was obviously different from the ordinary, emitting a disgusting and putrid smell that almost made Ning Cheng vomit. Not only that, but invisible dao rhythms seeped out of the shroud cloth one after another. These dao rhymes instantly fused into the black-spotted-faced man’s domain, and the domain that was already suppressing Ning Cheng was even stronger, so perhaps in a few more breaths of time, Ning Cheng’s domain would shatter.
Ning Cheng frowned a little, he knew he had to hold on to his opponent for a little longer, it was just that this black-spotted-faced man’s shroud was just too disgusting.
After the black-spotted-faced man had sacrificed the Shrouded Corpse Cloth, his domain was even more powerful when he fused the Shrouded Corpse Cloth’s Dao rhythm aura to suppress it. Ning Cheng naturally would not let his opponent crush him, and his domain was equally powerful. Even if the black-faced man’s domain was even stronger, Ning Cheng’s domain could still vaguely block it.
As soon as the black-faced man fused the Dao rhythm of the Shroud into his domain, dozens of skeletal palms rushed out from the Shroud, completely blocking the space around Ning Cheng. No matter which side Ning Cheng fled to, he could not escape the shadow of these skeletal palms.
His thoughts were good, but unfortunately, his thoughts were pinned on the domain completely suppressing Ning Cheng’s domain. It was only when the skeleton hand shadows in his Shroud clawed out that he suddenly realised that Ning Cheng’s domain had somehow been enhanced, and even if his Shroud and domain fused again, he was unable to break through by half.
“Clack clack clack ……” A crunching sound of grinding teeth came from Ning Cheng’s lance as the lance patterns suddenly became more and more, and apart from a portion of it being blocked by the Shrouded Corpse Cloth, the rest of the patterns all blasted into the palm shadows of these skeletal palms. These skeletal palm imprints shattered completely like popcorn.
He thought that Ning Cheng would definitely be crushed and killed by his skeleton palm and then turned into a wisp of grievance soul on his shroud. Unexpectedly, his skeleton claw shadow shattered in the end, and his opponent did not suffer at all.
Ning Cheng wanted to use his domain to suppress his opponent at this moment and then finish off the black-spotted face in front of him with a sunset twilight. However, he finally held back, and after his lance shattered these skeleton claw shadows, his entire body seemed to suffer a great repercussion and was sent flying backwards by the recoil.
He was a casual cultivator, and even if he wanted to kill this black-spotted face, he couldn’t do it so simply and easily. Otherwise, I was afraid that he would be investigated repeatedly before he even went to the Extra-terrestrial Divine Spring.
Seeing Ning Cheng recoil and fly backwards out, the black-spotted face sighed slightly in relief. Just now, Ning Cheng’s domain was enhanced and then the gun pattern erupted, so he thought that this should be Ning Cheng burning his essence blood and then exercising a destructive means. After thinking of this, this black-spotted face did not even continue to hesitate, and directly rolled up his shroud and pounced over. It was too unpleasant for him not to kill Ning Cheng.
The cold, corpse-smelling aura was mixed with endless black skeletons rushing towards Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng sighed in his heart, he was really unlucky to have met such a disgusting cultivator. If he hadn’t been on the tournament stage when the First Bridge of Naija came out, this black-spotted face could have jumped off his Bridge of Naija and made some contribution to it.
At this moment, Ning Cheng could only fight and put up two defensive shields once again, and strangled with this black-spotted face.
An incense stick later, this black-spotted face felt that something was wrong. The opponent was always unharmed, despite being in a terrible state and seemingly falling away at any moment.
Was his opponent faking? Intentionally trying to fight him like this? The more Black-spotted Face thought about it, the more he thought it was true. Black-spotted Face, who had originally wanted to sacrifice his divine ability, began to drum a little in his heart. After a moment’s deliberation, he decided to give up sacrificing his divine ability and admit defeat immediately.
It should be about time, Ning Cheng had just thought of this when he sensed Black Spotted Face’s desire to retreat. At this point in time, how could he let Black Spotted Face walk away unharmed? A few more shields were sacrificed, and his shields completely blocked Black Spotted Face off.
A powerful spatial binding sensation came through, and Black Spotted Face’s heart sank as he was certain that Ning Cheng had faked it before. This kind of powerful spatial binding was definitely not something that an ordinary Eternal Cultivator could display.
He opened his mouth to admit defeat, but at this point in time, would Ning Cheng let his opponent speak? At the same time as the spatial binding bound the black spotted face, the lance’s lance pattern completely sunk into the black spotted face’s skull.
“Pffffffff ……” The lance pattern rolled up a splash of blood, and the Black Spotted Face’s entire Yuan Shen was strangled into nothingness by Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, collected his things and slowly walked down the Dou Shuai stage. Ning Cheng did not take the black-spotted face cultivator’s things, for one, he did not see these things, and secondly, he did not know who was behind the black-spotted face cultivator.
He did not want to be found excuses by some people for accepting these things.
Neither Ning Cheng nor the black-spotted-faced cultivator was a famous master, and the fact that the two had fought until now and one had fallen did not cause much surprise. The many cultivators that were talking about it were still the match between Diatian and Night Lopping.
“Caixuan, JI He actually won, this ……” said the green-skirted woman who had been following Ning Cheng’s bout from afar, once again in amazement.
Ceng Caixuan also looked at Ning Cheng in some disbelief, after the fight with the black-spotted-faced cultivator, Ning Cheng looked very messy. Not only was his hair dishevelled, even his clothes had many more torn areas, and his breath was also a little unstable.
No matter how Ning Cheng was, it was a fact that Ning Cheng had won against the black-spotted-faced cultivator.
“He seems to have changed a lot.” Only after a long time did Cen Caixuan then replied. Whether it was Ning Cheng mocking Guo Haoge outside the Tai Su Secret Realm or Ning Cheng participating in the Tai Su Grand Tournament, he was completely different from the previous JI He.
The green-skirted woman beside Cen Caixuan sighed and said, ”He should have gotten some chance in the secret realm, but unfortunately he still doesn’t know how to be flexible at all. The one he killed just now was a core disciple of the Immortal Corpse Sect, and now that he has killed him, it would be strange if the Immortal Corpse Sect would let him go.”
The green-skirted woman’s words dispelled the doubts that had just risen in Cen Caixuan’s mind.
……
Ning Cheng naturally did not know that the person he had killed was from the Immortal Corpse Sect, even if the Immortal Corpse Sect was more powerful and wanted his life, he would still kill it without hesitation. At this moment, he was standing in a corner, watching the other cultivators fight, and then waiting for his next fight.
Most of the bouts were fast, and apart from a very few cultivators who took a little longer to fight, the first fifty bouts were over very quickly.
Guo Haoge and Ji Pingzhong had also competed on stage and were far stronger than cultivators of the same rank. However, in Ning Cheng’s opinion, that was just about it, Ning Cheng was sure that neither of these two Jiahe was a match for Yatian.
Among the cultivators that Ning Cheng remembered, apart from his acquaintance Yan Xishuang, there was also Yatian. Also remembered by Ning Cheng were Lu Yixian and Yin Jie, of the Twelve Sons of Tai Su.
Lu Yixian was in the late Eternal stage and ranked first among the Twelve Sons of Tai Su, while Yin Jun was ranked third among the Twelve Sons of Tai Su. Lu Yixian’s opponent would not be much weaker than the black-spotted face he had killed, in Ning Cheng’s opinion. And Lu Yixian had killed his opponent in almost seconds, and Ning Cheng had not even seen his magic treasure.
