Chapter 91
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Early in the morning, Ning Yue tidied himself up and went to the clan meeting hall.
Inside the hall, Ning Xuan and the other six youths who were going to participate in the Frozen Cave assessment sat respectfully on two sides.
Just as he entered the hall, Ning Yue's expression changed and he was somewhat shocked.
This was because he discovered that the seven youths in the hall had all advanced to the Houtian stage.
Ning Xuan's cultivation had even soared to the late Houtian stage!
Advancing from the early Houtian stage to the late Houtian stage in a month's time. Even in the capital, there were not many with this kind of talent.
Just as Ning Yue was slightly shocked, a middle-aged man walked in from the back door of the meeting hall.
"First Elder?" Seeing the middle-aged man, Ning Yue frowned and asked, "Where's my father?"
"Ning Yue, your father is busy. I will lead the team for the Frozen Cave assessment."
Waving his hand, Ning Tang said, "There's no time to lose, let's hurry to the Mysterious Sky City Plaza."
Although he was somewhat puzzled, Ning Yue did not ask any questions. Instead, he followed Ning Tang and the rest and hurried towards the Mysterious Sky City Plaza.
"Lin Zhen, the Ning family has taken up eight spots for the Frozen Cave assessment. If we do this, will there be any slip-ups?" In the Mysterious Sky City Plaza, Wang Qinian slightly frowned and asked.
"That's right, Lin Zhen, the Ning family has taken up eight spots. If we insist on saying that they only have one spot, the consequences will be unthinkable if the people from Danwu College find out." Beside him, Zhao Lie was also somewhat worried.
"Hmph! I see that the longer you live, the more you regress. The stronger you are, the more cowardly you become! "
With a cold snort, Lin Zhen said, "After a period of development, the strength of our three families has already skyrocketed to a frightening level. Furthermore, the two of you have successfully reached the peak of the late Xiantian stage! You are only one step away from the perfect Xiantian stage, what is there to worry about?
"Besides, as long as the three of us insist that the Ning family only has one candidate, I believe that the people from Danwu College won't say anything."
"But …" Wang Qinian and Zhao Lie were still a little worried.
They used the remaining five hundred thousand high-grade Origin Crystals to buy magic treasures and medicinal pills. Among them, they bought dozens of Soul Condensing Pills, ranging from low-grade to supreme-grade.
With the help of the Essence Condensing Pill, their cultivation had smoothly advanced to the late stage of the Xiantian Realm, even reaching the peak of the late stage of the Xiantian Realm!
Although his strength had been enhanced, Wang Qinian was still worried and asked, "Is there any news from Ninghai?"
At the mention of Ning Hai, Lin Zhen's face grew solemn as well. In a low voice, he said, "According to accurate information, Ning Hai entered the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts a week ago, and there has been no news of him since."
"Don't worry. A Rank Six Four-eyed Golden Crystal Beast is not easy to deal with. Ninghai will not be able to return this time!"
"That being said, we still have to be on guard." Wang Qinian said, "We can first launch a probing attack on the Ning family and see their attitude."
"Alright, let's focus on the Icy Cave test now." Nodding, Lin Zhen said.
After two weeks of development, Lin Zhen's ambition was no longer limited to dominating Tianxuan City. He wanted to expand outwards.
In the Da Xia Kingdom, if a family wanted to expand outwards, it was destined to be difficult without a backer.
Therefore, Lin Zhen and the others wanted to take a risk and snatch the Icy Cave test spot that originally belonged to the Ning family!
As long as someone from the family successfully entered Danwu College, they could expand outwards without restraint and snatch resources.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Wang, I hope that you will take care of us for the Icy Cave test." At the side of the plaza, Lin Xiao from the Lin family cupped his fists and said.
"Brother Lin has a heavenly talent. After entering Danwu College, the two of us will have to look up to Brother Lin." Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao did not dare to be negligent and quickly said.
Lin Xiao, a newly promoted genius warrior of the Lin family.
In the past, he had always been suppressed by Lin Feng's halo. In addition, he was unable to obtain any resources, so he did not attract the attention of the Lin family's upper echelons.
After Lin Feng died in battle, Lin Xiao suddenly rose. In a short two weeks, his cultivation advanced from the peak of Body Tempering Stage to the advanced stage of the Houtian Realm!
This level of talent was not inferior to the previous Lin Feng!
"Hehe, well said."
The corner of Lin Xiao's mouth curled up as he said: "We are all warriors of Tianxuan City. We should help each other."
Xiu!
At this moment, Ning Tang led the younger generation of the Ning family to the Tianxuan Plaza.
Upon seeing Ning Tang appear, Lin Zhen, Wang Qinian and the rest exchanged glances. Soon after, they rose from the ground and landed beside Ning Tang.
"Ning Tang, where is Ning Hai?" Lin Zhen asked first.
"Patriarch has something to do. This time, I will lead the team." Ning Tang said indifferently: "The Icy Cave test doesn't seem to have a rule that the Patriarch must lead the team, right?"
"Hehe, of course there is no rule."
With a slight smile, Lin Zhen's gaze slowly swept across the people behind Ning Tang.
Suddenly, Lin Zhen's expression changed because he saw a familiar figure, Ning Yue!
"Ning Yue, why are you here!" Staring at Ning Yue, Lin Zhen's face was filled with disbelief.
The Assassin Pavilion had dispatched a team of bronze plate assassins, eight Xiantian Full Circle, and a True Martial Realm warrior. How could they not be able to kill Ning Yue?
"Hmm?" Hearing Lin Zhen's words, Ning Yue raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "The Tianxuan Plaza is not your Lin family's territory. Whether I come or not, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."
"Good, very good!"
Clenching his fists, Lin Zhen said coldly: "I hope you can still be so calm later!"
If it was in the past, Lin Zhen would have directly attacked Ning Yue and suppressed him.
After learning about Ning Yue's powerful performance in Elixir Dragon Valley, he did not dare to act rashly, even though he had advanced to Xiantian Full Circle!
"Cough, cough!" Seeing Lin Zhen's angry look, Ning Yue's eyes darted around and he coughed twice. Soul Power surged on his face, causing his face to look a little pale.
Swoosh!
Seeing Ning Yue's appearance, Lin Zhen's face lit up.
Immediately, he shot a look at Wang Qinian and Zhao Lie.
Wang Qinian and the others understood and immediately moved to block Ning Tang's path.
"What are you trying to do!"
The sudden change caused Ning Tang to be a little puzzled. Immediately after, his expression changed drastically and he bellowed: "Lin Zhen, if you dare to hurt a single hair on Ning Yue, the family head will not let you off!"
"Hahaha, Ning Tang, don't be so anxious. I just want to have a spar with Ning Yue." Laughing loudly, Lin Zhen's body surged with Yuan Qi and gathered on his fist.
He threw a punch, bringing with it a violent gust of Primordial Qi. His body charged straight at Ning Yue!
The reason why Lin Zhen dared to attack Ning Yue was because he judged that Ning Yue was already seriously injured and his current strength was definitely not at its peak.
Now that Ning Hai was not in Tianxuan City, this was a good opportunity to kill Ning Yue.
Even if he could not kill Ning Yue, he would cripple his cultivation!
Therefore, Lin Zhen used almost all his strength in this punch and did not hold back at all.
Sha sha!
Chapter 92
"What! Lin Zhen has attacked Ning Yue! "
"Why is Lin Zhen so powerful?"
"His cultivation base has probably reached the peak of the late Xiantian stage?"
Woah!
Lin Zhen's sudden attack caused a huge uproar in the Mysterious Tianxuan Square, causing many cultivators to break out into heated discussions.
This time, their focus was no longer on whether Ning Yue could block Lin Zhen's powerful attack, but how did Lin Zhen become so powerful!
One must know that Lin Zhen's cultivation base was only at the mid Xiantian stage a month ago. Now, the strength he displayed was infinitely close to the full Xiantian stage.
"Netherworld Samsara Palm! Gu Ming! "
In the face of Lin Zhen's powerful punch, Ning Yue's expression was calm, without the slightest hint of nervousness.
He waved his palm in the air and pushed it out.
Soon after, a palm containing boundless Yuan Energy flew out. It made a turn in the air and met Lin Zhen's fist head-on.
"Ning Yue, I really admire you for being able to remain calm at a time like this." The corners of Lin Zhen's lips curled up as his fist rapidly flew out and collided with the illusory palm.
Crack!
However, just as his fist collided with Ning Yue's palm, Lin Zhen's expression changed. This was because he could sense a trace of trembling that originated from the depths of his soul from the palm.
"Deceiving!" With a low roar, Lin Zhen's body sped up once again. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Ning Yue. His fist carried a violent gust of wind as it fiercely smashed towards the latter's head.
"Netherworld Samsara Palm, Serene Fiend!"
The corners of Ning Yue's lips curled up as his grade four Soul Force surged. Another palm was thrown out, this one aimed at Lin Zhen from an extremely tricky angle.
"Child's play." With a cold snort, Lin Zhen casually threw out a punch to block You Sha's attack.
You Sha's palm was extremely fast, and his soul force fluctuations were not obvious, so it created a false impression for Lin Zhen.
The Nether Fiend did not have much power!
However, a split second later, Lin Zhen's expression changed drastically as he regretted his carelessness.
Because the punch that he casually threw out was like paper in front of You Sha, and it was quickly destroyed.
In the next moment, under his horrified gaze, You Sha slammed into his chest.
"Xiantian Yuan Qi Wave!" At this critical moment, Lin Zhen hurriedly stretched his hand into his robe and then suddenly threw it out. Suddenly, a wave of Yuan Qi light swept towards Ning Yue.
"Heaven Fiend Sword Wave!"
Facing the Innate Vital Energy Wave, Ning Yue's mind moved, and the Soul Breaking Sword appeared in his hand.
With a slash of his sword, a piercingly cold sword light appeared. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the Innate Qi Wave was ruthlessly dispersed!
"Puchi!"
Although the Innate Vital Energy Wave withstood Ning Yue's attack, Lin Zhen had already suffered from You Sha's attack. At this moment, his breathing was a little chaotic, and his soul had suffered serious injuries.
Compared to the Assassination Pavilion's Xiantian Full Circle martial artist, Lin Zhen's strength was much weaker.
Against a Xiantian Full Circle martial artist like Lin Zhen, Ning Yue did not need to use his full strength.
Swish!
Silence, silence!
The entire Tianxuan Square became incomparably silent, not a single sound could be heard.
No one expected that the situation would develop in such a dramatic way.
After a while, the silence was finally broken.
"What! Lin Zhen lost? "
"Is Ning Yue still human? He actually defeated Lin Zhen!"
"From the strength that Ning Yue displayed just now, his cultivation should have advanced to the Xiantian Stage!"
"He must have advanced to the Xiantian Stage. Otherwise, what's the difference between a Houtian Stage and a Xiantian Late Stage, or even a Xiantian Full Circle martial artist like Lin Zhen and a monster?"
Many martial artists were discussing loudly, and they did not bother to conceal it.
When it reached Lin Zhen's ears, he felt a pain in his chest. Once again, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face was a little pale.
This time, he had lost a lot of face. Originally, he wanted to kill Ning Yue, or at least cripple Ning Yue's cultivation. Now, forget about killing Ning Yue, he was almost killed by Ning Yue.
Lin Zhen could imagine that in the future, he would become the target of ridicule in Tianxuan City.
"Ning Yue! I will definitely kill you! "Clenching his fists, Lin Zhen's face was full of viciousness.
Swish! Swish!
Seeing that Lin Zhen was injured, Wang Qinian and Zhao Lie flashed and landed in front of Lin Zhen.
"Zhao Family Head, the Wang Family Head, could it be that you want to have a spar with me?" Raising his eyebrows, Ning Yue released the Yuan Qi from one of the cyclones, forming a small Yuan Qi light wave around him.
Swoosh!
Feeling the strong Yuan Qi wave around Ning Yue, Wang Qinian and Zhao Lie's faces turned extremely gloomy, and they could not help but take a few steps back.
"Could it be that he has advanced to the Xiantian Full Circle?" The same thought emerged in the minds of Wang Qinian and Zhao Lie at the same time. After all, the Yuan Qi intensity around Ning Yue was not inferior to theirs.
Both of them were at the peak of the Xiantian Late Stage. Did that mean that Ning Yue had advanced to the Xiantian Full Circle?
Thinking of this, Wang Qinian and Zhao Lie's faces turned even gloomier. At the same time, a sense of powerlessness engulfed their bodies.
"Ning Yue, I did not expect you to become so powerful!" With a gloomy face, Lin Zhen pushed Wang Qinian and Zhao Lie away and said in a low voice, "I admit that I have underestimated you. You are qualified to be my opponent."
Shrugging his shoulders, Ning Yue said faintly, "I'm sorry, but you are not qualified to be my opponent."
"Lad, if he is not qualified to be your opponent, do I?"
Just as Ning Yue finished his sentence, a slightly arrogant voice suddenly rang out in the Tianxuan Square.
Immediately, a figure flew in from the entrance of the Tianxuan Square and appeared in front of Ning Yue in an instant.
With a punch, a faint fluctuation of Yuan Energy appeared on it as it ruthlessly smashed towards Ning Yue's chest.
Faced with this sudden attack, Ning Yue's pupils shrank. The Yuan Energy within the two cyclones surged out and gathered on his fist.
In the next moment, a fist that also contained a powerful fluctuation of Yuan Energy abruptly shot out.
The powerful energy ripples even caused the surrounding air to be compressed and dispersed.
Bang!
Two powerful Yuan Energy ripples swept across the sky above the Tianxuan Square.
The practitioners in the Tianxuan Square all had their mouths agape as they looked at the two powerful Yuan Energy ripples in the sky. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out as the two fists collided violently.
Bang!
After the fists collided, a low muffled sound rang out as a brilliant light exploded.
Frightening Yuan Qi fluctuations swept out. Even the martial artists below were affected. Some of the martial artists who were closer were pushed back several feet before they could stabilize themselves.
Swish!
At this moment, Ning Yue's body was also pushed back, only coming to a stop when he reached the edge of the Tianxuan Square.
As for the other figure, he landed steadily on the high platform of the Tianxuan Square. He looked at Ning Yue with a slightly solemn expression.
Clearly, he was also shocked by Ning Yue's powerful punch.
"Lin Jingtian!"
Chapter 93
"Ning Yue, I wonder if I can be your opponent."
On the high platform, Lin Jingtian was expressionless as he said in a low voice, "You don't even know how to control your temper at such a young age. When you leave Tianxuan City in the future, you will definitely suffer."
"Fine, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Ning Hai."
Swoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jingtian stomped on the ground and dashed towards Ning Yue.
Through that move, Lin Jingtian could tell that Ning Yue's true strength was at the Innate Realm Full Completion. He could even go toe-to-toe with an Early Stage Real Martial Realm martial artist.
He was so powerful at such a young age. In a few years, there would be no place for the Lin Family in Tianxuan City.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of Ning Hai's absence to kill Ning Yue!
"Middle Stage Real Martial Realm..."
Looking at the approaching Lin Jingtian, Ning Yue's face darkened. He held the Soul Breaking Sword in front of him and injected the Yuan Qi from the Cyclone.
"Taishō Kenpo!" With a low roar, just as Ning Yue was about to display his Taishō Kenpo, his expression changed and he retreated.
Whoosh!
As Ning Yue retreated, a powerful fist appeared in front of Lin Jingtian. Lin Jingtian looked on in shock as his fist collided with Ning Yue's.
Bang!
After the blow, Lin Jingtian's body flew backwards and landed heavily on the ground.
Swoosh!
Standing up abruptly, Lin Jingtian looked at the figure on the high platform and shouted, "May I know who you are? Why did you attack me?"
On the high platform, a middle-aged man stood with a gloomy expression.
Hearing Lin Jingtian's words, the middle-aged man glared at him. Suddenly, a purplish-red ray of light appeared in his eyes and rushed towards Lin Jingtian.
"Soul Power!"
Looking at the purplish-red ray of light, Ning Yue was shocked.
Others might not know what the purplish-red ray of light was, but he knew that it was Soul Power!
Moreover, the strength of that Soul Power was at least at the fifth grade!
In other words, the middle-aged man on the high platform had an extremely strong Soul Power.
Puchi!
Just as Ning Yue was in shock, Lin Jingtian suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Danwu College's Examination Elder, Han Feng!"
After repelling Lin Jingtian, the middle-aged man on the high platform no longer looked at him. Instead, he slowly swept his gaze across the Tianxuan Square and said, "I will be in charge of the Ice Cave assessment in Tianxuan City this time."
Hua!
Han Feng's words caused Lin Jingtian's face to turn ashen.
Although he was furious, he didn't dare to show it. How could he offend an elder of Danwu College? Even if he had eight times the guts, he wouldn't dare.
"Everyone who is participating in the Icy Cave test, stand on the high platform," Han Feng said without looking at Lin Jingtian.
Hearing this, Ning Yue took a step forward and led the other seven young warriors of the Ning family onto the high platform.
On the other side, Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao also slowly walked onto the high platform.
Lin Xiao looked at Lin Zhen. After receiving a confirmation from Lin Zhen, his figure flashed and he jumped onto the high platform.
Seeing the eleven young warriors on the high platform, Han Feng frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, there should only be ten slots for the assessment in Tianxuan City, right? Why are there eleven warriors here? "
His eyes lit up, Lin Zhen hurriedly said, "Elder Han, there are indeed only ten slots for the assessment in Icy Cave. Among them, the Ning family performed well and obtained seven slots. The rest, the Lin family, Zhao family and the Wangs each obtained one."
Just as Lin Zhen opened his mouth, Ning Yue's face darkened. He didn't expect Lin Zhen to be so insidious.
Lying through his teeth.
However, Ning Yue didn't point it out, nor did he refute it.
"I don't care how the slots were allocated. All I know is that only ten people are allowed to enter the Icy Cave at a time."
Waving his hand, Han Feng said, "The extra warrior, I'm giving you a chance now. Go down by yourself."
"If you don't go down, I will challenge the authority of Danwu College!"
On the high platform, Lin Xiao was a little nervous. Even his palms were sweating.
Challenging the authority of Danwu College was a crime he couldn't afford.
Slightly turning his body, Lin Xiao looked at Lin Zhen.
Although he wanted to admit it, as a warrior of the Lin family, he didn't dare to leave the high platform before getting an affirmative answer from Lin Zhen.
Gritting his teeth, Lin Zhen turned his head away and didn't look at Lin Xiao.
In Lin Zhen's opinion, this might be the best chance to take down Ning Yue. If he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't get another one.
At that time, he, the Zhao family, and the Wangs would insist that the Ning family only had seven slots. Even if Han Feng got angry, he would vent his anger on the Ning family.
"No one is admitting it. Good, very good. Very good." After a while, seeing that no one had left the high platform, Han Feng smiled and said, "Since you guys aren't willing to admit it, there's no need for the Icy Cave test this time. I hereby announce that no one has passed the Icy Cave test in Tianxuan City."
Swoosh!
Han Feng's words were completely out of Lin Zhen's expectation. His mouth opened slightly, and he was speechless.
But soon, a smile appeared on his face.
This ending might be the best for him. Because in this case, Ning Yue wouldn't be able to enter Danwu College!
As long as Ning Yue didn't enter Danwu College, he would have many opportunities to kill Ning Yue!
"Elder Han."
Lin Zhen was satisfied with this ending, but Ning Yue wasn't. He took a step forward, pointed at Lin Xiao, and said, "He's the extra Martial Artist."
Han Feng was about to leave, but seeing Ning Yue's action, he stopped. "You said he's the extra Martial Artist. What evidence do you have?"
"Elder Han, I don't have any evidence." Shaking his head, Ning Yue said.
"Hehe, without evidence, how can I believe what you say?" Han Feng smiled and looked at Ning Yue with interest.
Actually, Han Feng had arrived at Tianxuan Square a long time ago. He had seen the battle between Ning Yue and Lin Zhen, as well as how he resisted Lin Jingtian's attack.
Based on his Spiritual Perception, which was unique to a Fifth Tier Alchemist, he could tell that Ning Yue's Spiritual Strength was not weak.
Moreover, Ning Yue gave him a vague feeling, making him unable to see through him.
"Elder Han, Lin Xiao is from the Lin Family. Even if I show them any evidence, they will refute it." Glancing at Lin Zhen, Ning Yue said.
"Elder Han, you can't listen to Ning Yue's lies!"
Lin Zhen was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he hurriedly said, "The Ning Family is not satisfied with obtaining seven spots for the Frozen Cave's assessment. They actually wanted to snatch our Lin Family's assessment spot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have attacked them."
Next to him, Zhao Lie and Wang Qinian also added, "Elder Han, Lin Zhen's words are all true. We can testify."
After a short pause, Han Feng said, "There's no need to explain so much. Since your two families have different opinions, I will give you a fair chance."
"Each family will send out a young Martial Artist to participate in the Martial Battle and Alchemy Battle. The family that loses will automatically withdraw from the Frozen Cave's assessment."
Swoosh!
Han Feng's words made Lin Zhen's heart sink. His face was like a pig's liver, extremely ugly!
Chapter 94
"Elder Han, we, the Ning family, have no objections."
Taking a step forward, Ning Yue said, "As for the younger generation warriors sent by the Ning family, I will take their place."
"Elder, Elder Han, we, the Lin family … choose to withdraw," Lin Zhen said bitterly, his face pale.
Originally, he thought that Han Feng would believe him if the three families agreed. Who would have thought that Han Feng would propose such a method?
Ning Yue was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but his talent in alchemy was also one of the best in Tianxuan City. None of the younger generation warriors in Tianxuan City could surpass him in these two aspects.
"Hmph! How dare you! "
Han Feng snorted and scolded, "The Danwu College's assessment is sacred. Whoever dares to obstruct us is challenging the authority of Danwu College!"
Thump!
Trembling, Lin Zhen knelt on the ground and said in horror, "Elder Han, the Ning family has eight spots for the assessment, the Zhao family and the Wangs have one each. As for the Lin family, there were originally a few …"
Waving his hand, Han Feng interrupted Lin Zhen and said, "I don't want to know anything else. Since you broke the rules, you should be aware of it and cancel the Lin family's assessment for the next three years."
Hearing this, Lin Zhen was dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground.
This time, he had really outsmarted himself. He went for wool and came home shorn. It was as if he had eaten sh * t.
"The Icy Cave is in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Follow me to the Icy Cave." Jumping off the high platform, Han Feng walked out of the Tianxuan Square.
"Brother Shuang, this Ning Yue is so strong!"
At the edge of the Tianxuan Square, a few young warriors gathered together. One of them, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, said, "Lin Zhen has the cultivation of the Innate Complete Realm, but Ning Yue could actually defeat him."
Cao Shuang said, "Defeating Lin Zhen is nothing. He's just a warrior who has just reached the consummate Xiantian realm."
"The key is that old man. If I am not mistaken, he is in the middle stage of the True Martial Realm. It is not easy for Ning Yue to block one move from him."
"With my current strength, under the premise that I don't use my trump card, it will be difficult for me to block a move from a martial artist in the middle stage of the True Martial Realm."
"Brother Shuang, do you mean to say that Ning Yue is stronger than you?" The twenty-four or twenty-five year old martial artist had a look of disbelief on his face as he asked in surprise.
"Do you have a pig brain?"
A martial artist at the side said, "Once Brother Shuang uses his trump card, even ten Ning Yue's wouldn't be his match!"
"Let's go, let's make a trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range as well." Waving her hand, Cao Shuang started walking toward the exit of the Mysterious Sky Plaza.
"I didn't expect Ning Yue to be so strong. No wonder the Patriarch told me not to worry when he left." Looking at Ning Yue's departing figure, Ning Tang took a deep breath and quickly left the Mysterious Sky Plaza.
Now that Ning Hai was not in Mysterious Sky City, he had to deal with all the matters of the Ning family, big or small.
In addition, the Patriarch was a little injured. Before Ning Hai returned, he had to stabilize the Ning family and ensure that this ship did not sink!
"Ning Yue!" Lin Zhen clenched his fists, his face full of malice, and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Lie, Wang Qinian, go back and prepare. It's time to let the Ning family know the strength of our three families."
"Lin Zhen, isn't this a little too rushed?" Slightly frowning, Zhao Lie had a worried look on his face.
After all, if Ning Yue were to participate in the Icy Cave assessment, and if he passed and gained Han Feng's appreciation, it would mean that the Ning family had gained the support of Danwu College.
Making a move against the Ning family at this juncture was no different from pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth.
"No, once Ning Yue passes the Icy Cave assessment, he will immediately follow Han Feng to another assessment location. He will not return to Mysterious Sky City."
With an evil smile, Lin Zhen said ruthlessly, "We have to seize this opportunity. While Ning Hai is not back and Ning Yue is participating in the assessment, we have to give the Ning family a heavy blow!"
"Alright, we'll listen to you." Since they were already in the same boat as Lin Zhen, Wang Qinian and Zhao Lie had no choice but to agree with Lin Zhen's decision.
After all, the Lin family still had Lin Jingtian, who was in the middle stage of the Martial Realm.
…
After Han Feng brought Ning Yue and the others out of Mysterious Sky City, they stopped.
"Whoosh!"
Han Feng made a gesture towards the sky, and immediately, a cry came from the sky.
A huge black-feathered eagle descended from the sky, its wings spread open. It was at least a dozen meters long, and it was extremely shocking.
"The Black Eagle is a late-stage third rank demonic beast, and its battle strength is comparable to a Xiantian Great Perfection martial artist. It was actually subdued by Elder Han!" Zhao Xuan said while trembling.
Wang Tao also said while trembling, "It is said that the Black Eagle has an extremely bad temper and likes to eat human flesh."
Hearing their words, the young martial artists of the Ning family took a step back and leaned behind Ning Yue.
On the other hand, Ning Yue was very calm. Although the Black Eagle was a late-stage third rank demonic beast, he was not afraid.
At this moment, Han Feng said, "Everyone, get on the back of the Black Eagle. We're going to the Icy Cave now."
Ning Yue was calm. With a leap, he was the first to jump on the back of the Black Eagle.
"Screech!"
Feeling a martial artist stepping on its back, the Black Eagle let out a long screech towards the sky. Its entire body emitted an aura, wanting to shake off Ning Yue.
Seeing the situation, Han Feng did not stop it. Instead, he wanted to see how Ning Yue would deal with the current situation.
"Humph!" With a cold snort, Ning Yue gathered his Soul Power on his palm and slapped it out, hitting the Black Eagle's wing.
"Screech!"
Just as his palm hit the Black Eagle's wing, the Black Eagle let out two soft screeches and became obedient.
"Soul Power!" Seeing Ning Yue's actions, Han Feng's brows twitched, and a hint of shock appeared on his face.
With his keen senses, he was naturally able to capture some clues.
Just now, there was actually a wisp of Soul Power that entered the Black Eagle's wing through Ning Yue's palm, causing the Black Eagle to become docile and obedient.
"Wow, Big Brother Ning Yue is really amazing. Even the Black Eagle was subdued by him."
"Of course, Big Brother Ning Yue is the best."
"Let's go up too."
Ning Xuan and the rest looked at Ning Yue with faces full of admiration. Then, with a leap, they jumped onto the Black Eagle's back.
"Let's go!" Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao clenched their teeth and jumped up.
Swoosh!
However, before Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao could stabilize themselves on the Black Eagle's back, the Black Eagle suddenly flapped its wings and flung them down, causing them to fall flat on their faces.
"You!" After climbing up from the ground, Zhao Xuan pointed at Ning Yue and said, "Why did you instigate the Black Eagle to attack us!"
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Ning Yue's face turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "If you dare to frame me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Alright, stop arguing." With a flash, Han Feng grabbed Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao and placed them on the Black Eagle's back. Then, he said, "Sit tight, the Black Eagle's speed is very fast. We will arrive at the Ice Cave in about two hours."
"Hua!"
In the next instant, the Black Eagle soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was far away, flying towards the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
The Black Eagle's speed was extremely fast. In a mere ten minutes, it had already entered the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Roar! Roar! Roar … Roar! Roar!
However, just at this moment, an earth-shattering roar sounded.
"Screech!"
Chapter 95
"Fire Cloud Leopard!"
Han Feng's expression changed as he stroked the black eagle with his right hand to calm it down.
"Wait here and don't go anywhere!"
Han Feng let out a low cry. Immediately, he leaped down from the back of the black eagle and charged into the distance.
"It's a Fire Cloud Leopard." Ning Yue's eyes narrowed as his expression turned solemn.
The Fire Cloud Leopard was a fourth-rank demonic beast and its strength was comparable to an early-stage True Martial Realm martial artist.
Originally, with Han Feng's strength, he could even contend with a late-stage fourth-rank demonic beast.
But this time, it wasn't just one Fire Cloud Leopard, but a pack.
There were more than ten of them!
Boom!
At this moment, Han Feng and the Fire Cloud Leopard were already exchanging blows. The powerful Yuan Qi caused the surrounding trees to snap in half.
Roar!
A Fire Cloud Leopard roared into the sky and suddenly sped up, using its sharp claws to claw at Han Feng's chest.
The claws of the Fire Cloud Leopard were as sharp as iron hooks.
Their claws could easily pierce through a low-grade mystic class artifact!
"Bastard!" Han Feng's eyes turned cold as he punched out to meet the Fire Cloud Leopard's claws.
The powerful energy in Han Feng's fist caused the Fire Cloud Leopard to panic.
Seeing the panic in the Fire Cloud Leopard's eyes, Han Feng sped up and dodged its sharp claws, then fiercely smashed toward its head.
Bang!
Han Feng's fist landed squarely on the Fire Cloud Leopard's head.
The huge impact pushed the Fire Cloud Leopard back several feet.
"It's indeed a Fire Cloud Leopard. To be able to withstand 50% of my strength and not die!" Han Feng retreated slightly in shock.
He had used 50% of his strength in that punch and it had landed on the weakest part of the Fire Cloud Leopard's head, but it still did not die.
The Fire Cloud Leopard's defense was shocking!
"The Fire Cloud Leopard is a fourth-rank demonic beast. It shouldn't appear here."
Han Feng frowned and mumbled, "Could it be that there's something wrong with the forbidden area of the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"
Although there were many demonic beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, in all these years, there had never been any news of a rank four demonic beast appearing.
Of course, the riot eighteen years ago did not count.
Han Feng knew very well that it wasn't that the Magical Beast Mountain Range didn't have any Rank 4 Demonic Beasts. It was because all the Demonic Beasts above Rank 4 were in the forbidden grounds and wouldn't easily leave.
Encountering a group of Fire Cloud Leopards here meant that there was a problem with the forbidden grounds.
"Roar!"
The remaining dozen or so Fire Cloud Leopards let out a loud roar toward the sky when they saw their companion defeated. They charged toward Han Feng in an orderly manner.
"Humph! Since you've left the forbidden area, don't blame me! " With a cold snort, Han Feng unleashed his powerful aura and threw out several punches at the Fire Cloud Leopard.
Han Feng was in the late stage of the True Martial Realm, and his strength was extremely powerful. The reason why he was unable to kill the Fire Cloud Leopard in one strike was because he had not used his full strength. He had only used fifty percent of his strength.
Now that he had used his full strength, the weather suddenly changed and the sky changed color.
"So this is the strength of the late stage of the True Martial Realm …" From afar, Ning Yue's eyes narrowed as he felt the majestic Yuan Qi fluctuation around Han Feng. He was shocked.
With his current overall strength, he could easily defeat a Xiantian Full Cycle martial artist.
He could contend with a True Martial Realm martial artist, and if he caught them off guard, he could even kill them.
As for a True Martial Realm martial artist, even if he only used fifty percent of his strength, he could still kill him effortlessly!
"Roar!"
At the same time, the dozen or so Fire Cloud Leopards felt the powerful energy contained in the punches and let out a loud roar to dispel the fear in their hearts.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, in the face of absolute strength, no matter how many roars they made, it was useless.
A series of crisp sounds could be heard as the dozen or so Fire Cloud Leopards were blown back like sieves.
"Looks like the Icy Cave assessment this time is a little unusual." After repelling the dozen or so Fire Cloud Leopards, Han Feng stood on the spot with a worried expression.
The Icy Cave was located at the periphery of the Magic Beast Mountain Range and was very close to it.
In the previous Icy Cave assessments, there had never been any problems, but this time, a Fourth Rank demonic beast had appeared. From this, it could be seen that the Icy Cave assessment this time was unusual.
At this moment, Han Feng even wanted to bring Ning Yue and the rest back to Tianxuan City and give up on the Icy Cave assessment this time.
However, when he thought of the other elders of Danwu College who would also bring the assessment participants to the Icy Cave, his worry was slightly alleviated.
The Icy Cave was an assessment location set up by Danwu College in Tianxuan City. It did not mean that only people from Tianxuan City were allowed to participate in the assessment, but with Tianxuan City as the center, martial artists from the surrounding dozens of cities would come.
Han Feng was the person in charge of the Icy Cave assessment this time, and his cultivation was in the late stage of the True Martial Realm.
The other people in charge of the Icy Cave assessment in dozens of cities were in the middle stage of the Xiantian Stage to the Xiantian Full Cycle.
"Forget it, let's continue forward." With a grave expression, Han Feng turned his head around, intending to return to the back of the Black Eagle.
However, just as he turned his head around, his expression changed drastically. Both his legs kicked the ground, and his body darted out in an instant.
This was because a Fire Cloud Leopard had unknowingly appeared in front of the Black Eagle and was now confronting it!
One had to know that there were ten Icy Cave assessment participants on the back of the Black Eagle. If anything went wrong, even if he was the person in charge of the Icy Cave assessment, he would not be able to bear the responsibility!
Facing the powerful Fire Cloud Leopard, the pressure that came from the depths of the soul caused the Black Eagle to tremble with fear. If not for Ning Yue's constant reassurance, it would have definitely turned around and fled.
"Swoosh!"
Finally, the Fire Cloud Leopard no longer confronted the Black Eagle. Instead, it leaped and suddenly rushed out.
"Damn it!"
Ning Yue cursed under his breath, and the Soul Severing Sword appeared in his hand.
"Taishō Kenpo!" As the sword stabbed out, there was a slight tremor in the void and a buzzing sound could be heard.
In the next moment, a sword wave that contained powerful energy blasted towards the Fire Cloud Leopard at an extremely shocking speed.
"Roar!"
With an angry roar, the Fire Cloud Leopard spat out a mouthful of red flames to meet the sword radiance.
"Chi chi!"
The flames and the sword radiance collided, and a sizzling sound could be heard.
Immediately after, Ning Yue suddenly rushed out from the back of the Black Eagle and waved the Soul Severing Sword repeatedly. In an instant, several sword radiances slashed out and formed a sword radiance array in front of him.
"Go!"
With a point of his finger, several sword radiances swept out and surrounded the Fire Cloud Leopard from all directions.
Seeing the sword radiances that Ning Yue slashed out, Han Feng's speeding body slowed down slightly.
This was because he could feel a very powerful wave of Primordial Qi from the sword radiances.
"The strength of the Primordial Qi contained in each sword radiance has probably reached the Xiantian Full Completion." With a sparkle in his eyes, Han Feng raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "No wonder Elder Guan asked me to lead the assessment in the Icy Cave of Tianxuan City. He said that there was a surprise."
Chapter 96
"Kill!"
As Ning Yue shouted, several sword rays slashed out, and the Fire Cloud Leopard was horrified as they slammed into its body.
Chi chi chi chi chi chi!
The sword projections were extremely fast and appeared in front of the Fire Cloud Leopard in the blink of an eye before slashing its body.
Roar!
The Fire Cloud Leopard let out an angry roar as it was struck by several sword rays. It stomped on the ground and roared as it charged at Ning Yue.
"Its defensive power is actually so shocking!"
Ning Yue already knew that the Fire Cloud Leopard's defense was strong, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful. Even his strongest move, the Taishō Kenpo, couldn't break through its defense.
With a cold look in his eyes, Ning Yue's Yuan Qi whirled crazily. His fourth grade soul force emerged and gathered on his fist.
However, just as he was about to unleash the Netherworld Samsara Palm, a thought passed through his mind, and he forcefully stopped.
Xiu!
The moment Ning Yue stopped, a shadow flashed past him and appeared beside the Fire Cloud Leopard in the blink of an eye. A fist was thrown out and landed right on the Fire Cloud Leopard's head.
Bang!
The enormous force caused the Fire Cloud Leopard to fly back several meters.
"Elder Han." Concealing his soul power, Ning Yue said calmly.
"Let's go and try to reach the Frost Cave as soon as possible."
After casually repelling the Fire Cloud Leopard, Han Feng did not ask any questions. Instead, he leaped onto the back of the Black Eagle.
Since Han Feng did not ask, Ning Yue could not be bothered to explain. His figure flashed, and he similarly leaped onto the black eagle.
Screech!
Letting out a long screech, the black hawk flapped its massive wings and flew deeper into the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.
"Brother Ning Yue, just how strong are you?" On the back of the black hawk, Ning Xin's large eyes blinked and she said in adoration: "If only I had half your powers."
Hearing this, the rest of the younger generation of the Ning family looked at Ning Yue.
Just now, Ning Yue's powerful attack had completely subdued them.
Originally, they had already regarded Ning Yue as their idol. After this battle, they worshipped Ning Yue even more.
At the side, Zhao Xuan and Wang Tao glared at Ning Yue viciously, their eyes filled with anger.
One month ago, if they wanted to kill Ning Yue, it would be as easy as blowing off dust. Now, Ning Yue had already grown to the extent that he was able to go against a martial artist at the consummate stage of the Xiantian Realm. If they wanted to kill Ning Yue again, it would be extremely difficult!
"At this time, I'm afraid the family has already made a move against the Ning family." Clenching his fists, Zhao Xuan's lips curled into an evil smile.
Although he was no match for Ning Yue, in terms of family power, the current Zhao Family was miles ahead of the Ning family.
"In the path of cultivation, one must take it one step at a time. Remember not to bite off more than you can chew."
Ning Yue said in a low voice: "As long as all of you work hard in your cultivation, I believe it will not be long before you surpass me."
"Mm." Pursing her lips, Ning Xin nodded and said: "I will work hard."
Screech!
At that moment, the black eagle cried out.
Ning Yue looked ahead and saw that about a thousand meters away, there were three huge black eagles circling in the air.
On the backs of the huge black eagles, there were also a group of martial artists.
"That is the team from Ming Wang City who are here to take part in the Frozen Cave's Trial." Han Feng said when he saw Ning Yue's puzzled expression.
"Ming Wang City?" Ning Yue raised an eyebrow.
Ming Wang City was a city to the east of Tian Xuan City and it was much bigger than Tian Xuan City.
"Let's speed up and catch up." Han Feng nodded and patted the black eagle. The black eagle flapped its wings and sped up.
Soon, Ning Yue and his team caught up with the team from Ming Wang City.
"Elder Han."
Seeing Han Feng, the three Danwu College Elders flew down from the back of the black eagle.
One of the Xiantian Full Realm Elders took a step forward and said respectfully: "I have something to report to you. Just now, we detected the aura of a Fourth Order Demonic Beast!"
"I already know about it." Waving his hand, Han Feng said softly: "On the way here, I met more than ten Fire Cloud Leopards."
"Fire Cloud Leopards!"
Hearing that, the Danwu College Elders' faces changed and they could not help but shiver.
They knew that the Fire Cloud Leopards were Fourth Order Demonic Beasts and were extremely powerful.
If they were to encounter a Fire Cloud Leopard, the consequences would be dire.
Afterall, the three Elders were only at the Xiantian Full Realm. If they were to encounter a Fire Cloud Leopard, they would definitely die!
"Which city is that team from? What is the identity of their leader? Why is Elder Shen so respectful towards him? "From afar, seeing Shen Fei being so respectful towards Han Feng, a Xiantian Mid Realm Elder asked with a frown.
"Young Master Liu, that team is from Tianxuan City."
On the back of the black eagle, a monkey-faced Martial Artist said: "As for their leader, his position in Danwu College might be higher than Elder Shen's."
"Tianxuan City is just a small place. In the previous Icy Cave assessments, they were almost completely wiped out." Liu Heng was confused and said: "It doesn't make sense for a city like this to have such a high position."
The monkey-faced Martial Artist said: "Young Master Liu, I don't know about that."
"Liu Heng, have you forgotten that in this Innate Realm Ranking, there is a martial artist from Tianxuan City who made it to the top one thousand?" On the back of another black eagle, a Xiantian Mid Realm Elder with delicate features and a folding fan in his hand said: "According to the Innate Realm Ranking, the martial artist who made it to the Innate Realm Ranking is called Ning Yue. His cultivation is one level lower than both of us."
"Hmph! Bai Pingzhi, don't tell me you want to challenge Ning Yue! "
Liu Heng snorted and said: "Don't forget, you are only ranked nine thousand five hundredth on the Innate Realm Ranking. There is a difference of eight thousand ranks between you and Ning Yue. I think Ning Yue can defeat you in one move."
"Hehe, Liu Heng, don't try to provoke me. You are only ranked nine thousand four hundredth on the Innate Realm Ranking." Bai Pingzhi said with a smile.
Liu Heng said: "The Innate Realm Ranking is not necessarily accurate. It only records the strongest fighting power that a Xiantian Warrior has displayed before. It is not the ultimate fighting power."
"Even so, Ning Yue is ranked one thousand on the Innate Realm Ranking. It means that he is quite strong."
Bai Pingzhi frowned and said: "I would like to challenge him when I have the chance."
"Ning Yue is just ahead. Do you want me to challenge him?" Liu Heng said.
Bai Pingzhi shook his head and said: "Let's wait for the Cold Ice Cave assessment. There will be plenty of chances to challenge him then. Now is not the time."
Bai Pingzhi was not stupid. If he were to challenge Ning Yue now, no matter the result, he would consume a lot of energy.
His and Liu Heng's abilities were almost the same. They both wanted to fight for the top ten in the Cold Ice Cave assessment. Whoever consumed too much energy now would be at a disadvantage later.
"Don't worry. I have defeated those Fire Cloud Leopards. They have basically lost their fighting power." In the distance, Han Feng thought for a while and said: "Let's not waste any more time. Let's depart now and reach the Cold Ice Cave as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, let's depart now!"
Chapter 97
The Icy Cave was located in the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. It was one of the examination locations for Danwu College.
Every few years, a large number of young martial artists would enter the Icy Cave to participate in the examination.
The martial artists who passed the Icy Cave examination would be brought to another place to participate in the next round of Danwu College's examination.
Sha sha!
In the dense forest, dozens of figures were moving quickly. Low sounds of something breaking through the air could be heard from the crowd.
These people were naturally the martial artists who were participating in the Icy Cave examination. However, their situation was obviously not optimistic.
"Damn it, these people are so daring. They actually dared to stop Danwu College's Icy Cave examination!"
A late stage Xiantian Danwu College elder's face was gloomy as he clenched his fists and said angrily.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. This place is very close to the Icy Cave. Rest for ten minutes, then hurry up and try to reach the Icy Cave before nightfall." A complete Xiantian martial artist frowned slightly. Soon after, his low voice was heard by the crowd of young martial artists.
Hearing this, the crowd of martial artists nodded their heads.
On the way, they were surrounded by mysterious experts. If not for the elder leading them risking his life to resist, they would have been killed long ago.
These young martial artists were mostly rookies who had not experienced a real battle. Even now, some martial artists still had some fear on their faces.
Although the academy elder had risked his life to resist, these people were extremely cunning. They had used a secret technique to kill many black eagles, causing them to have no choice but to travel on foot.
In the dense forest, under a towering tree, dozens of figures were taking a short break.
"Not good, everyone be on guard!"
Suddenly, the complete Xiantian elder stood up and released his aura. He shouted in a low voice, "There are ten martial artists to the east. The lowest cultivation is at the complete Xiantian realm and the highest is at the middle stage of the True Martial Realm! There are five martial artists to the west. The lowest cultivation is at the early stage of the True Martial Realm and the highest is at the middle stage of the True Martial Realm! "
Hiss!
Hearing this elder's words, the crowd of martial artists sucked in a breath of cold air. With such a lineup, if they were to attack them, they would be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They would not be able to fight back.
Not only the young martial artists participating in the assessment, but even the elders of Danwu College had grave expressions on their faces. Their hearts sank to the bottom.
They only had five elders, three of whom were at the peak stage of the Xiantian Realm, and two of whom were at the late stage of the Xiantian Realm.
Faced with the enemy's lineup, they would not be able to hold on for long before being defeated.
At that time, the fates of these young martial artists participating in the assessment would be dictated by others!
Creak!
In the next moment, the sound of twigs snapping suddenly rang out in the quiet jungle.
Whoosh!
This soft sound was like a thunderclap, causing the expressions of the originally nervous young cultivators to change greatly, and they hurriedly stood up.
At this time, a deep voice came from Feng Qiang's mouth, "Everyone, prepare for battle. Xiantian realm martial artists and above will take the front, and Houtian realm martial artists will stay behind. Everyone, form a semicircle."
Feng Qiang's face was extremely gloomy. He was the most powerful person among them, and his cultivation level was at the Connate Full Circle.
At this critical juncture, he had to stand at the forefront! He could not have the slightest bit of cowardice or cowardice!
As soon as Feng Qiang's voice fell, the fifty young martial artists moved quickly. In just a moment, they had formed a semicircle.
Feng Qiang and the other four elders guarded the gap in the semicircle. Their pitch-black eyes kept moving as they stared straight ahead.
At the end of their line of sight, several figures gradually appeared.
Sha sha!
Following the appearance of this group of people, in another direction, five figures appeared in Feng Qiang's line of sight in an instant.
"The peak of the Middle Stage of the True Martial Realm!" Feeling the powerful aura of the middle-aged man, Feng Qiang realized that he would not be able to survive today.
"Ha ha ha, it seems that Hall Leader was right. I can really meet so many newbies here, and there are even a few elders of Danwu College. It seems that this trip has not been in vain."
The middle-aged man laughed loudly. Suddenly, a towering aura rose, and a blood-red shadow shot out.
"Not good!"
Feeling the power of the blood-red shadow, Feng Qiang's expression changed. His hands formed a series of hand seals, and finally, he threw out a palm strike to meet the blood-red shadow head-on.
"Hmm? Not bad, to be able to block my attack with a cultivation of Xiantian Realm at 40% of my strength, you are indeed worthy of being an elder of Danwu College. "
After the attack, the middle-aged man seemed to be fine, but Feng Qiang was forced to take a few steps back before he could stabilize himself. With this attack, it was clear who had the upper hand.
"Fan Zhi, we discovered these people first. I think you are going a bit too far, right?" In the distance, a black-robed cultivator at the peak of Middle Stage of True Martial Realm said, "Do you want to declare war on us?"
"Ha ha, not to the extent of declaring war."
Fan Zhi smiled, but his expression immediately turned cold. He shouted in a low voice, "Old Xue, these martial artists are here to participate in the Cold Ice Cave's assessment."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly!" Old Xue frowned slightly and said coldly.
"There are fifty young martial artists here, we will each take half," Fan Zhi said, "As for the five elders of Danwu College, I will suffer a bit. Leave them to me."
"Hmph! You are really wishful thinking. "
Old Xue coldly snorted and said, "Although we don't belong to the same hall, we are all from the Corpse Sect. I can't let you suffer a loss."
"How about this, I have more people on my side. Leave the three Xiantian Realm martial artists to me and the two Late Stage Xiantian Realm martial artists to you."
"Old Xue, let's not fight. Let's attack together and kill them all." After thinking for a moment, Fan Zhi said, "I heard that there is a Late Stage True Martial Realm martial artist among the leading elders of Danwu College. If we are discovered by him, although you and I won't be afraid, it will still be troublesome."
"Good!"
Old Devil Xue's eyes narrowed as he rose from the ground. Vigorous Yuan Qi surged out of his body. The tyrannical aura caused the withered leaves in the surroundings to fly away. Such an aura was not far from the late stage of the True Martial Realm.
After he made his move, the nine Xiantian Realm martial artists behind him also stepped on the ground and pulled out their weapons. Their target was the young martial artists who had already been scattered.
"Let's finish this quickly!"
Seeing that Old Xue and his group had taken the initiative to attack, Fan Zhi waved his hand and flicked his finger. Suddenly, a blood-red cold light directly attacked Feng Qiang like a ghost.
"Tang Kun, I will stop them. You quickly retreat and immediately think of a way to contact Elder Han Feng! As long as we can find Elder Han Feng, we might have a chance of survival. " Seeing that Fan Zhi and his group had made their move, Feng Qiang's heart suddenly sank. He knew that today was a bad day.
Chapter 98
Screech! Screech!
In the forest, the crisp sound of eagle hooves could be heard. Shortly after, several huge black eagles flew across the sky, heading towards the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
There were more than ten of these black eagles, and on their backs were many young martial artists.
On the back of one of the black eagles, Ning Yue closed his eyes. The Spirit Transformation Art in his body was circulating slowly. Strands of Yuan Qi were guided by the Spirit Transformation Art and slowly entered his sea of consciousness.
As they got closer to the Icy Cave, Ning Yue could feel that the surrounding Yuan Qi was getting thicker and thicker. Naturally, he would not waste such a great opportunity to cultivate.
On the path of cultivation, one could not slack off. Dripping water could wear through a rock.
"The Yuan Qi in the whirlpools have reached the Xiantian Full Cycle. Unless there is a fortuitous encounter, it would be impossible to split the whirlpools again in a short period of time." Feeling the state of the four whirlpools, Ning Yue finally recovered from his cultivation and looked around.
At the beginning, Ning Yue and his group met the Icy Cave assessment team from Bright King City. After traveling for another ten minutes, they met the assessment teams from other cities.
After that, they would meet a new assessment team every few minutes.
The mounts of these assessment teams were all late Rank 3 demonic beasts, black eagles!
From this, it could be seen how powerful Danwu College was.
"Elder Han, how much longer do we need to reach the Frigid Cave?" Ning Yue leaned towards Han Feng and asked.
"Hehe, the black eagles are very fast. We can reach the Icy Cave in about ten minutes." With a smile, Han Feng said, "This time, do you plan to participate in the Icy Cave's warrior assessment or the alchemist assessment?"
"What's the difference?" Ning Yue frowned and asked doubtfully.
Ning Yue only knew that the Icy Cave assessment was divided into the warrior assessment and the alchemist assessment. However, he was not clear about the specific assessment method and process.
"Fine, I'll explain the assessment method to you."
After pondering for a while, Han Feng said, "The Icy Cave is just a general term. Actually, there are two caves in it. One is the Icy Cave and the other is the Icy Cave."
"The warrior test is conducted in the cold cave, and the alchemist test is conducted in the ice cave."
"There are many rooms in the Cold Cave. Participants of the Fighter Assessment, please enter your room. Then, we will release a Demonic Beast of the corresponding level according to your strength. As long as you can defeat the Demonic Beast, you will pass the Cold Ice Cave Assessment."
"It's that simple?" an early Xiantian martial artist on the black eagle beside him asked.
"Simple?" Han Feng looked at him and continued, "The level of the demon beasts we will release will be slightly higher than yours, ranging from one to three minor levels."
Hiss!
Han Feng's words caused the cultivators on the black eagles to suck in a breath of cold air.
A demonic beast that's one to three levels higher than me? Didn't that mean that his cultivation was at the early stage of the Xiantian realm, and it was highly possible for him to summon a third-order late-stage demonic beast?
A late-stage Tier 3 demonic beast's strength was incomparably powerful, and its combat strength was comparable to a consummate Xiantian martial artist.
From this, it could be seen that the Frost Cave test this time was extremely difficult.
"You don't have to worry too much."
Not wanting to shock everyone too much, Han Feng continued, "The strongest of the demonic beasts released this time is only at the early-stage third-order. In other words, as long as you have the strength to defeat an early-stage third-order demonic beast, you will pass the Cold Ice Cave assessment steadily."
"Phew!"
Hearing this, the surrounding people heaved a sigh of relief, secretly feeling relieved.
To be able to participate in the Cold Ice Cave assessment, they all had trump cards on them.
Furthermore, some of them had very strong trump cards. As long as they were used, they might even be able to kill a mid-stage third-order demonic beast.
Of course, these people were the minority. Most of them had a grave expression, secretly calculating their chances of passing the assessment.
"As for the Alchemist Assessment in the Cold Ice Cave, the rules are much simpler."
Just at this moment, Han Feng continued, "There are prescribed herbs. As long as you can use the herbs to refine a first-grade medicinal pill, you can pass the Cold Ice Cave assessment."
"That simple?" This time, the cultivators participating in the Alchemist Assessment revealed joyful expressions. To them, this rule was indeed very simple.
Most of the cultivators who were qualified to participate in the Alchemist Assessment had passed the Alchemist Association's first-grade alchemist assessment and had a one-star badge.
Refining a first-grade medicinal pill, to them, was a piece of cake.
"How could it be so simple? If that was really the case, there would be no need for Danwu College to set up the assessment venue in the Cold Ice Cave." Frowning, Ning Yue felt that something was amiss.
If the rules were really that simple, there would be no need for Danwu College to set up the assessment venue in the Cold Ice Cave in the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. After all, the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range were filled with dangers.
There must be a reason why Danwu College spent so much money and sent out so many late-stage third-order demonic beasts, the Black Eagles.
"Forget it, there will always be a way out." Since he could not understand, Ning Yue simply did not think about it. Instead, he closed his eyes and quietly waited for the arrival of the Cold Ice Cave.
Swoosh!
However, before Ning Yue could close his eyes, a startling pillar of light soared into the sky from the west, bringing with it gusts of Yuan Power gales.
"Not good! Someone from Danwu College is being attacked! "
Seeing the huge Yuan Qi pillar, Han Feng's face turned gloomy. He waved his sleeve and shouted, "Leave one Xiantian Complete Realm elder behind. The rest, follow me!"
Hearing this, the other Danwu College elders on the back of the Black Eagles also had ugly expressions. However, without any hesitation, they immediately jumped off the back of the Black Eagles and rushed toward the source of the pillar of light.
"Someone is being attacked? Who dares to attack the people from Danwu College? "
"Could it be a demonic beast?"
"I'm not sure. Judging from the pillar of light, the other party is likely to be a martial artist."
After Han Feng and the others rushed out, the examinees immediately burst into an uproar, discussing animatedly.
"Silence!"
The burly man at the Xiantian Complete Realm who was left behind exuded his aura and berated, "With Elder Han Feng taking action, I believe the rascal in the distance will be dealt with very quickly. All you need to do is to wait here obediently!"
Hearing the words of the Xiantian Complete Realm elder, the noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
Most of them were Houtian to Xiantian Realm martial artists. Under the pressure of the powerful aura of a Xiantian Complete Realm warrior, they were extremely respectful and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"I'm afraid the situation isn't optimistic." Ning Yue slightly released his Grade 4 soul force and his face was somewhat solemn.
With his keen soul force, although he could not determine the specific situation in the distance, the general situation was not far off.
In the distance, he could feel the aura of no less than five True Martial Realm martial artists. The rest were the auras of a dozen Xiantian Complete Realm martial artists.
If he was not wrong, some teams had been ambushed, and the people who ambushed them were very strong!
"Elder Han should be able to deal with them."
Shaking his head, Ning Yue wanted to withdraw his soul force because he did not feel the aura of a Late Martial Realm martial artist from afar. With Han Feng's Late Martial Realm cultivation, even if he encountered four or five Middle Martial Realm martial artists, he could still contend and even kill them.
Swoosh!
However, before Ning Yue could withdraw his soul force, his face changed dramatically.
This was because he sensed two martial artists rushing towards him at high speed.
Chapter 99
Xiu! Xiu!
However, just as Ning Yue was about to warn them, two sharp wind-breaking sounds suddenly rang out in the quiet forest.
Shua!
The two sharp wind-breaking sounds were like thunder under the scorching sun, causing the burly elder of Danwu College to change his expression and hurriedly stand up.
"Damn it! Everyone retreat! " A low voice came from the burly elder's mouth. He immediately jumped up and stood in front of the crowd.
"Jie jie, Elder Fang and Elder Xue's judgment was indeed correct." A gloomy voice came out before the person arrived.
"Hehe, looks like we got lucky this time," another voice said with a chuckle.
Soon, two figures landed on the ground.
Feeling the powerful aura from the two figures, the burly elder's face turned serious and he shouted in a deep voice, "Who are you!"
"Who are we?"
The corner of the peak Xiantian martial artist's mouth rose and he lightly said, "There's no harm in telling you. In any case, you are going to see the King of Hell. Listen carefully, we are from the Corpse Sect!"
Hua!
As the peak Xiantian martial artist's voice fell, the faces of the surrounding people instantly turned cold. Some people with low cultivation even trembled and could not stand steadily.
They had all heard about the terror of the Corpse Yin Sect. It was a very abnormal sect.
Being targeted by them, death was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that they would not kill you, but slowly torture you to death and even refine you into a corpse puppet!
The early stage True Martial Realm martial artist obviously did not want to waste time here. He waved his hand and lightly said, "Old Du, why are you talking nonsense with him? We should kill them as soon as possible and then go back to help Elder Fang and the others."
Hearing this, Old Du nodded and immediately rose from the ground. He turned into a phantom and instantly appeared in front of the burly elder.
Then, he raised his hand and mercilessly chopped at the burly elder's shoulder with a majestic Yuan Qi.
"Damn it!"
The burly elder cursed and quickly formed a seal with his hands. Before Old Du's fist could even reach him, he had already punched out.
Bang!
The two fists collided with each other. After a muffled sound, the tall and sturdy elder's toes touched the ground and he retreated a few steps before stabilizing his body.
"Tsk tsk, not bad. You aren't an embroidered pillow." With a sinister chuckle, the Third Poison Lord charged forward once more and clashed with the burly elder.
On the other side, due to the deterrence of a True Martial Realm early stage martial artist, even if the examinees had a trump card, they did not dare to use it.
Because their trump cards were useless in front of a True Martial Realm martial artist.
Ka ka!
Twisting his neck, the True Martial realm martial artist lightly said, "It's been a long time since I killed so many people. Just thinking about it makes me a little excited."
His gaze shifted and finally fell on Ning Xin. The True Martial Realm early stage martial artist laughed sinisterly and said: "Let's start with you."
As soon as the word 'Go' was uttered, the True Martial Realm early stage martial artist sprang into action. He spun around and appeared in front of Ning Xin, striking out with his palm, aiming for her neck.
Whoosh!
Ning Xin had not expected that a True Martial Realm early stage martial artist would be the first to attack her. Her jaw dropped and her face paled!
Bang!
However, just as the palm was about to land on Ning Xin's neck, a fist filled with raging True Qi suddenly swept out.
A low muffled sound rang out. The True Martial Realm early stage martial artist's face changed and his body flashed, retreating backwards.
"Kid, who are you?" After he stopped moving, Tie Kui's eyes emitted a bright light as he shouted in a low voice.
Tie Kui was a little shocked. Although he had only used 20% of his strength in that attack, but that 20% of his strength was enough to kill a Xiantian middle stage martial artist.
If he was not wrong, the martial artist in front of him was at most an early Xiantian stage martial artist.
To be able to block 20% of his strength with just an early Xiantian stage martial artist, he must not be a nobody.
"Xin Er, are you alright?" Ignoring Tie Kui's scolding, Ning Yue asked.
"Brother Ning Yue, I, I … I'm fine." Although she said so, the fear on her face betrayed her.
"What! You're Ning Yue! "
Suddenly, Tie Kui's eyes widened and his face showed a look of disbelief.
"Hahaha!" But soon, Tie Kui laughed wildly and said, "You can wear out iron shoes in fruitless searching, but you find what you're looking for without even looking for it. As long as I can capture you, the Hall Master of the Golden Corpse King will definitely reward me handsomely!"
"Hmph! You want to capture me? That depends on whether you have the strength to do so! "With a cold snort, Ning Yue clenched his fist and quickly formed a seal.
In the next moment, more than a dozen shadow palm prints were formed and suddenly rushed towards Tie Kui.
"Child's play."
The corner of his mouth curled up and Tie Kui punched out, bringing with it a violent gust of wind, directly towards Ning Yue's palm print.
"Who is Ning Yue? How dare he attack Tie Kui, he is a True Martial Realm martial artist. "
"Ning Yue? Why does this name sound so familiar … That's right, I've seen him on the Innate Realm Battle List, he is ranked one thousand! "
"One thousand? Not to mention one thousand, even if he is in the top eight hundred, he can't be a match for a True Martial Realm martial artist. "
Seeing Ning Yue take the initiative to attack, the surrounding people slightly opened their mouths, feeling somewhat incredulous.
The powerful aura that Tie Kui revealed just now made it difficult for them to breathe.
Now that Ning Yue actually took the initiative to attack, in their opinion, he was completely overestimating himself.
Hiss hiss!
Tie Kui's fierce attack directly tore apart more than a dozen shadow palm prints, appearing in front of Ning Yue in the blink of an eye.
"Gu Ming!"
At the critical moment, the Yuan Qi in Ning Yue's cyclone violently surged out and gathered on his fist, then suddenly pushed out, unable to avoid Tie Kui's fist.
Crack!
In the next moment, feeling the powerful force coming from the fist, Ning Yue gritted his teeth, bent his legs, and his body explosively retreated.
"Hehe, Ning Yue, don't make any more futile resistance. Although you are very strong, in front of me, you can't make any waves." After the attack, Tie Kui did not continue to attack, but said with a faint smile.
"Hiss!"
Standing on the spot, Ning Yue's eyes were filled with coldness, and his fists were clenched so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard.
Through the exchange just now, Ning Yue had already determined that Tie Kui's strength was far above his!
Even if he used all his trump cards, he might not be able to defeat Tie Kui!
Most importantly, Ning Yue did not want to expose his trump cards here.
"Tie Kui, it won't be that easy to catch me." His eyes turned, and the Yuan Qi in Ning Yue's body slowly flowed to his ankles. Then, he suddenly stomped on the ground, and with a burst of debris, he ran wildly toward the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
"Trying to escape?"
Ning Yue's actions were already within Tie Kui's expectations. He tidied up his clothes unhurriedly and said to Du Laosan, "I'll leave this to you. I'll go after Ning Yue."
Then, Tie Kui's aura suddenly erupted, and a towering aura rose, causing the surrounding warriors to retreat several steps.
Chapter 100
"Old fart, your speed is quite fast!"
In the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, two figures, one in front and one behind, were running at high speed.
Among them, the one in front was about twenty years old. It was Ning Yue.
Among them, the one in front was about twenty years old. It was Ning Yue.
At this moment, Ning Yue had a dignified expression. He looked back at Tie Kui, who was constantly approaching him. The Essence under his feet burned, and his speed once again soared.
"F * ck, Ning Yue, you're really pissing me off!"
Behind Ning Yue, Tie Kui could not help but curse. His complexion was ashen.
Originally, he thought he could easily catch up with Ning Yue. Who would have thought that the faster he was, the faster Ning Yue would be. As a result, after an hour, he still could not catch up with Ning Yue.
Ning Yue was like a man who did not know fatigue. The Essence in his body was abundant. Although it was constantly burning, his speed still did not slow down.
"You better pray that I don't catch up with you. Otherwise, I'll tear you apart!" Cursing, Tie Kui's Essence in his sea of consciousness surged, and he instantly accelerated.
"I can't go on like this."
Ning Yue knew that although the Essence in his body was abundant, Tie Kui, who was behind him, was an early stage True Martial Realm martial artist. The Essence in his body was not any less than his.
If this continued, he would be caught by Tie Kui sooner or later.
With a cold expression, Ning Yue held the Soul Breaking Sword in his hand and turned around to slash!
"Heaven Fiend Sword Wave!
Along with the sound of his voice, a shocking sword aura shot out, slashing towards Tie Kui.
Swish!
Tie Kui didn't expect Ning Yue would turn around and launch an attack on him. For a moment, he was somewhat panicked. However, he was, after all, an early stage True Martial Realm martial artist. His reaction speed was extremely fast. Before the Sword Aura could reach his body, his body slightly moved to the side, and just barely dodged Ning Yue's swift and fierce sword.
Xiu!
Since his attack did not succeed, Ning Yue did not continue fighting. Instead, he burned the Essence under his feet and ran again.
"Damn it!"
Cursing inwardly, Tie Kui touched the ground with the tip of his foot, and instantly swept out.
Originally, when he saw Ning Yue's attack, he had already stopped in his tracks and planned to face Ning Yue head-on.
He did not expect Ning Yue to be so cunning. He did not linger after the first strike and ran away again.
In this way, the distance between him and Ning Yue increased.
"Don't ever let me catch up to you!" Tie Kui clenched his fists tightly, his expression extremely gloomy. He wished he could skin Ning Yue alive.
The more he chased, the angrier he became. Tie Kui's lungs were about to explode.
Every time he was about to catch up with Ning Yue, Ning Yue would turn around and slash his sword. Although it was not very powerful, it more or less slowed him down.
At this rate, who knew when he would be able to catch up to Ning Yue.
"No, I have to speed up!" In the next moment, Tie Kui's eyes focused, and in the next moment, all the Primordial Qi in his sea of consciousness swept out and gathered under his feet. His speed instantly increased to the limit.
Buzz, buzz!
Feeling the sound of the wind behind him, Ning Yue's expression instantly became gloomy because he knew that Tie Kui was going all out.
Since he could not outrun Tie Kui in terms of speed, Ning Yue simply stopped.
He injected all the Primordial Qi in the cyclone into the Severing Soul Sword, and then he slashed out with the sword, bringing with it a sharp wind, attacking Tie Kui's cheek.
"Taishō Kenpo!"
At this moment, Ning Yue displayed the third form of the Supreme Nine Purities Sword Technique, Taishō Kenpo!
As soon as Taishō Kenpo appeared, the surrounding air seemed to be compressed and spread out.
The Primordial Qi in the space became somewhat chaotic, and it left the area as if it was escaping.
"Blood-colored Corpse Shadow!"
Feeling such a sharp Sword Qi, Tie Kui's pupils shrank. He did not dare to be negligent, and with a flick of his wrist, a huge Blood-colored Corpse Shadow appeared behind him.
"Go!" As he shouted, the Blood-colored Corpse Shadow instantly appeared in front of him and collided with Taishō Kenpo.
Chi, chi!
In the next moment, Taishō Kenpo suddenly slashed on Tie Kui's Blood-colored Corpse Shadow, and there was a burst of chi, chi, chi, chi.
Immediately after, the sword wave seemed to be corroded, and it disappeared in a moment.
Buzz, buzz!
After Taishō Kenpo disappeared, Tie Kui's Blood-colored Corpse Shadow did not stop. Instead, it increased its speed and rushed toward Ning Yue's body.
"Tie Kui's Blood-colored Corpse Shadow is extremely powerful, and it is many times stronger than the Barbarian Corpse King's." Taking a deep breath, Ning Yue tapped his feet on the ground, and his body quickly swept out.
At the same time, he formed a seal with his wrist, and his Soul Power gushed out and attached to his palm.
"Netherworld Samsara Palm, Netherworld Fiend!"
A slightly hoarse voice came out of Ning Yue's mouth. Then, an almost tangible palm print rushed out in the blink of an eye, and from an extremely tricky angle, it wanted to avoid the Blood-colored Corpse Shadow and attack Tie Kui.
"Hmph!"
However, Tie Kui was obviously prepared. He waved his sleeve, and suddenly, the Blood-colored Corpse Shadow turned its head, and fiercely collided with Ning Yue's palm.
"As expected, you fell for it. Get in!"
At the moment when the palm print and the Blood-colored Corpse Shadow collided, Ning Yue's eyes brightened, and then he controlled his Soul Power to quietly enter the Blood-colored Corpse Shadow from the palm print.
"Hehe, Ning Yue, surrender."
Seeing that Ning Yue's palm print was shattered in an instant, the corner of Tie Kui's mouth rose, and he said with a smile, "Now, I will let you have a taste of the Blood-colored Corpse Shadow."
"Tie Kui, it seems like it's too early for you to be happy. Soul Strangulation!"
When Ning Yue's cold voice fell, he suddenly pointed his finger, and with a loud shout, the tip of his finger glowed with a red light, and an extremely huge Soul Power light wave burst out.
The speed of the Soul Power light wave was somewhat terrifying. Everywhere it passed, the space constantly trembled, and cracking sounds were incessant, which was extremely ear-piercing.
Such a terrifying attack caused Tie Kui, who was at the peak of the Initial Stage of Real Martial Realm, to have a drastic change of expression, because he could feel that the strength of this Soul Power had reached the fourth grade!
Swoosh!
In mid-air, Tie Kui's eyes suddenly became cold. He slightly raised his palm, and a violent Yuan Qi wrapped around his palm.
In the blink of an eye, a trident appeared in his palm, and the black trident suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.
Trident, a mid-grade Earth-rank magic weapon!
"Trident Cold Light!"
As the shout fell, three light pillars, each several feet thick, shot out from the trident.
The huge light pillars, as if falling from the Ninth Heaven, flashed and disappeared. The fierce impact almost caused Ning Yue's pupils to shrink, and he could not help but take a few steps back.
Boom!
In the next moment, the three huge light pillars collided with Ning Yue's Soul Power light wave, and brought about an ear-piercing roar, which directly cut through the sky.
Soon after, a powerful shock wave spread out in all directions. The force of the shock wave seemed to want to split the space in half!
Under such a strong pressure, Ning Yue's face became extremely gloomy, and the huge force coming from his legs made him have the urge to kneel down!
"Plunder!" Enduring the huge force from his legs, Ning Yue shouted in a low voice.
"Not good!"
As soon as Ning Yue shouted, Tie Kui's pupils shrank, and his face became extremely ugly, ten thousand times uglier than a pig's liver!
Because he realized that a wisp of Ning Yue's Soul Power had unknowingly entered his bloody corpse shadow.
