Chapter 602: This is mine |
"Prepare to die."
Wang Mang attacked at that moment.
A phantom of a ferocious beast appeared behind him simultaneously.
"Master, be careful!"
Pill Spirit quickly warned.
"Ting, mere parlor tricks."
Ning Qi snorted coldly, then concentrated all his power.
He then shot forward toward Wang Mang ahead.
In his hand, he already held his Chaos Sword.
Any void touched by the Chaos Sword was directly sliced open, leaving a sword scar.
The Fierce Wind originally surging within it was directly suppressed by this Evil Energy and Demonic Power, completely unable to erupt from the sword scar.
"Clang!"
The next moment, Ning Qi's Chaos Sword met Wang Meng's Bronze Hammers.
Their auras devoured each other. Ning Qi's Chaos Sword began cutting downward inch by inch.
Wang Meng's proud Bronze Hammers showed signs of being suppressed.
"Master, his Bronze Hammers aren't that great either."
Pill Spirit complained from within his dantian.
"It's not that his Bronze Hammers are weak, it's that he is weak."
Ning Qi shook his head and continued, "If it were me, I could definitely unleash much greater power from these hammers."
"Lei Shan, you... you can actually manipulate Evil Energy?"
Their conversation caused Wang Meng in the distance to widen his eyes in disbelief.
He never expected Ning Qi's attack could utilize Evil Energy.
"Hmph, is that difficult?"
Hearing his words, Ning Qi looked at Wang Meng before him as if he were a fool. "Prepare to die."
"Hmph, so what if you can manipulate Evil Energy? You're still no match for me."
Wang Meng gritted his teeth and activated even more refined Immortal Power.
He then began channeling it into his Bronze Hammers.
"Crackle, crackle."
Instantly, surges of lightning power began to flow on his Bronze Hammers.
Under the agitation of the lightning power, the area within several dozen zhang around him crackled with snapping lightning energy.
This entire space was enveloped under the power of lightning.
Streaks of flashing lightning power roared like ferocious beasts.
In just a moment, this place had become a prison of lightning.
"Ting, I was right. His Bronze Hammers are definitely not simple!"
A flash of greed appeared in Ning Qi's eyes as he looked at the hammers.
"Master, this Lightning Prison is too powerful! We're probably no match!"
Looking at the Lightning Prison before them, Pill Spirit couldn't help but show worry.
"It is powerful. But he cannot unleash its true potential."
"So, it's still useless. He doesn't understand how to use these hammers properly."
"A supreme treasure in his hands is still trash."
Ning Qi didn't care at all, his eyes fixed on Wang Meng before him. "These Bronze Hammers are mine now."
"Die!"
Wang Meng had finished gathering power by then and launched a new round of attacks.
After his roar, he swung his Bronze Hammers and charged toward Ning Qi.
"God-Slaying Arrow."
Ning Qi roared, taking out his divine bow.
He then nocked an arrow, aimed at Wang Meng before him, and after gathering power, released the shot.
"Whoosh!"
After this arrow shot out, there wasn't much commotion.
It was just like any ordinary arrow.
It tore through the void, heading straight for Wang Meng.
"Hmph, what kind of trash weapon is that, daring to act recklessly before me!"
Wang Meng didn't take his attack seriously at all.
With another cold snort, he ignored the attack and continued his assault forward.
"Clang!"
"Whoosh!"
But the shocking scene happened instantly.
The hammer attack he was so proud of, enhanced by the Lightning Prison's boost, was so powerful it made even his own heart palpitate.
Yet, Ning Qi's arrow could suppress his Lightning Prison without any disturbance.
It had already pierced through a section of his Lightning Prison and was shooting toward him.
"This is..."
Wang Meng stared wide-eyed at the arrow before him.
He never expected his proud attack would be inferior to a single arrow.
"Crackle!"
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, Ning Qi's arrow shot over.
"Clang!"
In desperation, Wang Meng could only raise his arm, using his Bronze Hammers to block Ning Qi's attack.
Under his block, Ning Qi's arrow directly struck his Bronze Hammers.
A deafening sound erupted.
The sound reverberated throughout the void.
Everyone nearby was shaken and forced to retreat repeatedly.
Some with weaker strength directly turned into blood mist.
Others had their very Souls destroyed.
Wang Meng, protected by the Bronze Hammers, wasn't in too bad a shape.
But even so, he was still sent flying by Ning Qi's attack.
His whole body flew backward like a kite with its string cut.
The Bronze Hammers, under the immense impact, dragged Wang Meng as he flew back.
Wang Meng had long lost his earlier arrogance by then.
He never expected Ning Qi to be this strong.
After two exchanges, he hadn't gained any advantage and was instead sent flying.
This completely challenged his self-esteem.
"Whoosh!"
Ning Qi had no intention of letting him go. With a flash, he chased after him.
His movement was observed by Wang Meng.
"Hmph, don't even think about it."
He knew Ning Qi wanted to end the fight by taking advantage, but he wouldn't let him have his way.
After a shout, Wang Meng suddenly stopped.
Then he activated the Bronze Hammers.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, after the Bronze Hammers emitted a flash of lightning, he directly vanished on the spot.
"Huh? Can it teleport too?"
Ning Qi stopped, looking at the empty void before him with curiosity.
He never expected these hammers could teleport someone away.
"Wait, Master, maybe he turned invisible? I can't sense his presence at all."
Pill Spirit quickly corrected, his eyes vigilantly scanning the situation here.
"Hmm, that's possible too!"
Ning Qi nodded, not knowing what trick Wang Meng was playing.
But he remained alert, observing the surroundings carefully.
He wanted to find where Wang Meng was hiding.
However, after carefully observing for a while, Ning Qi found he couldn't locate Wang Meng at all.
It was as if he had vanished into thin air.
"Master, be careful. I feel Life Force Energy surging here."
"He must be nearby!"
Pill Spirit warned vigilantly.
"Ah, you can sense Life Force Energy."
Ning Qi suddenly understood and quickly said, "In that case, you try. Sense where this Life Force Energy is strongest."
"Okay!"
Pill Spirit agreed to his arrangement.
He then began to observe.
"Old thing, come out!"
Ning Qi directly started taunting. "Weren't you boasting about how strong you are? Why won't you come out after just two moves?"
"Surely you're not going to be a turtle hiding in its shell? Shame on you, someone who's been to the Immortal Realm."
After this series of taunts, he expected Wang Meng to come out.
But to his surprise, Wang Meng not only didn't come out, but his aura was getting farther away.
"Master, I sense where the old thing is. Keep insulting him."
"The more you insult him, the more intense the fluctuations of his Life Force Energy become!"
Pill Spirit began reminding Ning Qi.
"Good, then I'll continue."
After agreeing, Ning Qi raised his voice and continued taunting. "What, are you even afraid of a junior like me? Then just crawl back."
"Don't embarrass yourself here any longer."
"Whoosh!"
This time, the response was still the howling wind here.
"Master, I found him."
"To your right side, about fifty zhang away."
"That distance is shrinking! He seems to be preparing to ambush."
Pill Spirit said to Ning Qi at that moment.
"Good, then let him come. Report his movements to me constantly!"
Ning Qi agreed and reminded him.
"Okay!"
"Thirty zhang left."
Pill Spirit reminded again.
Ning Qi then urged, "Keep going."
"Twenty zhang."
"Ten zhang!"
"Five zhang!"
Pill Spirit began reporting continuously.
Clearly, Wang Meng was attacking with full force.
"He's coming!"
Finally, he exclaimed again, "Master, be careful!"
"Okay!"
After agreeing, Ning Qi activated his Chaos Sword.
He deliberately aimed it at an irrelevant direction.
After one breath, Ning Qi suddenly redirected the sword's glow, slashing toward the direction Wang Meng was charging from.
"Thud!"
This slash, though he didn't know what part it hit, Ning Qi was certain it struck Wang Meng.
"Ah!"
The next moment, Wang Mang screamed in pain and retreated explosively.
By then, he had also revealed his body.
After appearing, lightning power still flickered on his Bronze Hammers.
"I never expected these hammers could turn invisible!"
Looking at Wang Meng and his hammers before him, Ning Qi couldn't help but smile. "Still trying to ambush me."
"You go die now."
Wang Meng roared angrily and charged over defiantly.
Ning Qi's previous slash had hit his arm.
Thus, he hadn't instantly lost his fighting capability.
Bearing the injury, he charged toward Ning Qi.
"Master, be careful."
Pill Spirit quickly warned. "Be wary of him self-destructing."
"Hmph, someone like him probably wouldn't do that easily."
"Let me force him a bit!"
Ning Qi snorted coldly and said with a smile.
Then, he darted forward.
Activating the Chaos Sword, Demonic Power instantly began surging.
In just a moment, he unleashed a sword energy phantom several dozen zhang long.
Then he directly shot it toward Wang Meng.
"Thud!"
Wang Meng originally tried to block with his Bronze Hammers, but to his surprise, Ning Qi's attack wasn't just a simple strike—it could also affect his Soul.
In an instant, Wang Meng was sent flying backward.
And his Bronze Hammers finally flew out of his grasp.
Ning Qi looked at this pair of Bronze Hammers, then unceremoniously waved his hand.
He directly collected the hammers.
"No!"
Wang Meng panicked, charging over recklessly. "Those are mine!"
"That was before. Now they're mine."
Ning Qi spread his hands and continued, "And you, you're about to die."
"Don't even think about it!"
Wang Meng's eyes turned blood-red, then he erupted with overwhelming fury.
He charged directly toward Ning Qi.
"Seeking death!"
Ning Qi merely snorted coldly and brought the Chaos Sword slashing down.
"Thud!"
Before Wang Meng could even activate his armor, Ning Qi sliced him in two with one sword stroke.
Ning Qi simply waved his hand, directly collecting his corpse along with the storage bag.
"We won."
Pill Spirit began cheering from within his Dantian.
Ning Qi shifted his attention forward.
By then, both sides had reached a fever pitch.
Ning Qi swept past the people here, charging toward Zhao Shilin and the others.
When he arrived, he saw they were already locked in battle too.
Zhao Shilin was engaged in a fierce fight with a young girl.
This girl wore plain clothes, giving off a holy and pure feeling.
Her three thousand strands of black hair flowed with the wind, making one sense her powerful aura.
Her brows and eyes were like a painting. From this distance, she looked like a fairy who had emerged from the Immortal Realm.
"Shi Xiaokun, what's going on? Why aren't you attacking?"
Ning Qi shifted his gaze to Shi Xiaokun not far away.
"Master, she is a Divine Clan member of our Immortal Race."
"Her bloodline is stronger than mine and Di Xi's."
Shi Xiaokun sighed and continued, "This is bloodline suppression. I cannot attack her."
"Oh? More noble than you and Di Xi."
"No wonder she's revered as a Sacred Maiden."
Hearing his words, Ning Qi shifted his attention forward.
Zhao Shilin and Gu Yueying were fighting evenly at the moment, but it was clear Zhao Shilin was no match for her.
She seemed to be toying with him instead.
"Thud!"
At that moment, Gu Yueying seemed to grow tired of playing.
She directly sent Zhao Shilin flying with one palm strike.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Gu Yueying from afar.
"What, with just this little skill, you still want to deal with me?"
Gu Yueying looked at Zhao Shilin before her and mocked, "Go back and train for a few more years."
"Then, do you think I'm qualified?"
Ning Qi smiled and arrived near the two of them.
His eyes appraised Gu Yueying.
"Hmph, you think killing that brute Wang Meng makes you impressive?"
Who knew Gu Yueying didn't take him seriously at all.
"Commander Lei, be careful. This woman has hidden depths."
Zhao Shilin covered his chest and reminded in a low voice.
"Hmm, go help the others. I'll deal with her."
Ning Qi nodded, then shifted his attention back to Gu Yueying. "Tsk tsk, no wonder you're so arrogant. So you're a Divine Clan member of the Immortal Race."
By now, there was no one else here. He brazenly exposed her identity.
"You! How do you know?"
Gu Yueying showed a hint of surprise.
She never expected her identity could be seen through.
"You're nothing special either. Is seeing through your identity difficult?"
Ning Qi spread his hands, showing a smug expression. "Tonight, you are the meal on our plate. You can't escape."
"Oh? You think seeing through my identity makes you impressive?"
Gu Yueying looked at Ning Qi with disgust. "You Demonic Race people are like trash in my eyes."
"You're not even qualified to fight me."
"Don't be too arrogant. Don't think being from the Divine Clan means you can look down on everyone."
Ning Qi looked at her with a scornful expression.
From beginning to end, he hadn't taken her seriously.
