Chapter 295: Deficiency In The Great Dao
Lu Ziyue had just emerged from seclusion when she saw Ning Qi appear before her, and she was instantly overjoyed.
” Ziyue, congratulations on your promotion to Great Power. I’m giving you this Dragon Scale Robe as a gift.”
Ning Qi flipped his right palm, and the four-colored Dragon Scale Robe appeared in his hand. He held it out to Lu Ziyue with one hand.
Lu Ziyue’s beautiful eyes first glanced at Ning Qi, her pretty face slightly flushed.
Seeing Ning Qi, as Sect Leader, holding the treasure robe and presenting it publicly, she had no choice but to accept it on the spot.
But just as she intended to take it, Ning Qi smiled.
He lightly raised his right hand, and the four-colored Dragon Scale Robe pieces separated, turning into beams of light that automatically draped over Lu Ziyue.
In an instant, a heroic and valiant female cultivator silhouette appeared in the sky.
In recent days, Ning Qi had made some minor modifications to the Dragon Scale Robe, allowing it to combine into multiple outer forms and freely switch between inner garment and outer armor.
Hidden inside without revealing, outside it became female cultivator light armor, majestic and awe-inspiring.
Whether inside or outside, it could ward off the cold and heat of the four seasons, and resist water, fire, wind, and thunder.
With Lu Ziyue’s cultivation just promoted to Great Power, this robe could defend against three attacks from an Integration Realm Giant at maximum, and it also possessed great power in offense, allowing four dragon possessions to unleash four Integration Realm attack powers.
Of course, these numbers were not absolute; they were limited by Lu Ziyue’s cultivation, so it could only achieve this much for now.
Lu Ziyue lowered her head to look, while her Primordial Spirit Power swept over her body, instantly understanding the preciousness of this Dragon Scale Robe.
“Sect Leader Senior Brother, this robe is too precious. Is it really okay to give it to Ziyue…”
Ning Qi said domineeringly: “The former Purple Sword True Person brought back a Sect Leader for the Boundless Sword Sect, and to this day, that Sect Leader hasn’t given her anything. What’s not okay about it?”
Hearing this, Lu Ziyue couldn’t help but chuckle, her smile like a blooming flower.
The surrounding onlookers didn’t dare have any objections. As Ning Qi said, if Lu Ziyue hadn’t brought him back back then, how could the Boundless Sword Sect have its current glory?
They might have even been wiped out by the Northern Profound Upper Sect.
But the congregation still envied immensely. Why hadn’t they been the ones to bring back the Sect Leader during their outing back then?
Afterward, Ning Qi and Lu Ziyue returned to the Sect Leader Hall.
Ning Qi brewed a cup of Enlightenment Tea for her, and Lu Ziyue gradually relaxed.
She knew deeply that her life was now inextricably linked with Ning Qi’s. Rather than being entangled, it was better to let nature take its course.
The two exchanged many cultivation insights and also discussed recent events.
Lu Ziyue listened while clenching her small fists tightly, her emotions fluctuating with Ning Qi’s narration.
Finally, Ning Qi said: “Ziyue, you’ve broken through two realms in a row and lack experience. From now on, come with us to battle.”
Lu Ziyue’s eyes sparkled as she smiled charmingly: “Alright, let this long-dormant Purple Sword True Person make her name resound across the North and South Regions again!”
…
Southern True Domain.
The Heavenly Star Upper Sect had been closely following the war between the Ox Demon Upper Sect and the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect recently.
Not long after the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect was destroyed, Sect Leader Xia Tianhe received the news.
At this moment, he had summoned all the Great Powers to gather in the grand hall.
Above the grand hall, it was deathly silent, where a pin drop could be heard.
Everyone looked toward Xia Tianhe, only to see the Sect Leader pacing back and forth at the main seat, seemingly extremely restless.
But the congregation did not speak, and Xia Tianhe did not make a sound either; they were waiting for the intelligence scouts outside to return.
It was unrealistic for all to return completely, but personnel stationed at some key locations had to come back to let everyone clearly understand the key points of the two sects’ battle.
Not long after, Xia Tianhe’s nephew Xia Xing returned.
Another Elder Zhu followed closely behind.
As people Xia Tianhe extremely trusted in the sect, they were naturally entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
Previously, they had discussed whether to support the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect.
Xia Xing, as the seed Ning Qi had planted in the Heavenly Star Upper Sect, would certainly not disrupt Realm Lord Ning Qi’s plan, so he advised Xia Tianhe to sit on the sidelines.
Elder Zhu, on the other hand, had advised the Sect Leader to intervene.
Xia Tianhe immediately said: “Xia Xing, Elder Zhu, please elaborate again on the battle situation between the Ox Demon Upper Sect and the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect.”
Xia Xing and Elder Zhu exchanged a glance, and Xia Xing spoke first:
“Reporting to Sect Leader, near the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect, I personally witnessed the Five Elements Sword Venerable of the Boundless Sword Sect break open the Sect Protecting Grand Formation that had been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years with one sword. It was truly terrifying.”
“Five Elements Sword Venerable? One sword?”
All the Great Powers exclaimed in shock.
The title Five Elements Sword Venerable was something the sects of the Northern Xuan Region had proactively used for Ning Qi back then, but it hadn’t yet spread in the Southern True Domain.
Even though many had heard of it, they didn’t acknowledge it.
But now, Xia Xing said Ning Qi broke the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect’s Sect Protecting Grand Formation with one sword. Though the congregation hadn’t seen that scene personally, they gained a rough understanding of the Five Elements Sword Venerable’s strength.
Even the Integration Realm Old Ancestor quietly monitoring the messages in the Sect Leader Hall was shocked inwardly.
The Heavenly Star Upper Sect also had three Integration Realm Old Ancestors, but many years ago they had promoted Xia Tianhe to Sect Leader, trusted his abilities, and had long ceased concerning themselves with worldly affairs.
If not for Xia Tianhe awakening them this time, they wouldn’t have known such a major event had occurred outside.
Heavenly Star Upper Sect, Feathered Ascension Upper Sect, Ox Demon Upper Sect—the three top-tier Upper Sects with inheritances of hundreds of thousands of years—had always maintained peace, checking each other. Who would have thought the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect would now be destroyed by the Ox Demon Upper Sect.
Among them was even the shadow of a sect from the Northern Xuan Region.
And now, that Five Elements Sword Venerable who appeared out of nowhere made even them take notice.
Xia Xing didn’t continue. With the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect’s grand formation broken, the later outcome was self-evident.
Because the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect no longer had any Integration Realm Old Ancestors at that point.
The congregation thus shifted their gazes to Elder Zhu.
How the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect’s Integration Realm Old Ancestor was destroyed was the true key.
Elder Zhu saw everyone looking over, but his expression was deathly pale, extremely unsightly.
He said: “Reporting to Sect Leader, I used the star-gazing technique to observe that battle from afar.”
“The Feathered Ascension Upper Sect not only invited four Venerables from the Qingxuan Immortal Sect in the neighboring Fuyao Region, but also had an Integration Great Demon planted in the Ox Demon Upper Sect, so the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect side had a total of seven Integration Realm Old Ancestors battling four from the Ox Demon and Boundless Sword Sects.”
Many present finally understood the specifics of this battle. They never expected the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect to assemble such a powerful force, but…
Someone immediately asked: “Seven Integrations against four Integrations, how did they lose?”
Elder Zhu continued: “They first used that Great Demon planted in the Ox Demon Upper Sect to sneak attack Niu Ding Tian, rendering him unable to fight, so accurately speaking, it was seven Integrations against three.”
Everyone was shocked, waiting for him to continue.
“Among the three, Hu Xiao Tian hardly made a move, Jian Jingjue only slashed one sword to destroy a spell from the Qingxuan Immortal Sect, but the one who truly turned the tide was that Ning… Five Elements Sword Venerable!”
Elder Zhu’s mind kept recalling the scene he had personally witnessed before. He had been dumbfounded then, unable to recover for a long time.
So, even though he had been extremely disdainful of Ning Qi and the Boundless Sword Sect before, he could no longer maintain that mindset now, and he addressed Ning Qi as the Five Elements Sword Venerable in his words.
“The Five Elements Sword Venerable only attacked a few times and slaughtered all seven. His strength is probably just a hair’s breadth from the Dao Integration Realm.”
Each person present was shocked as if a great bell had rung inside their body, the echo spreading outward, their entire body trembling.
They could hardly believe that facing seven Integration Realm experts, it was the least likely Ning Qi who single-handedly turned the tide and annihilated them all.
Many felt a chill of fear at this moment. Fortunately, the Heavenly Star Upper Sect hadn’t intervened in the two sects’ battle back then.
Otherwise, even if their Integration Realm Old Ancestors joined in, they seemed no match for that Five Elements Sword Venerable.
Xia Xing’s eyes flickered as he inwardly fumed. Such important information had actually been scouted by Elder Zhu, exposing part of the Realm Lord’s strength?
When he had gone out earlier to investigate the two sects’ news, it would have been better if he and Elder Zhu had switched positions.
That way, he could have covered up many things for the Realm Lord. Now it was troublesome, depending on how the Heavenly Star Upper Sect responded.
After Elder Zhu finished speaking everything and saw the congregation’s shock, he felt helpless too.
Though it seemed like boosting others’ morale while dampening his own, for such a major event, he couldn’t just disparage the opponent before mentioning it.
If it affected the Sect Leader’s future decisions, then the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect’s fate would be their Heavenly Star Upper Sect’s future.
He slightly bowed and said: “Sect Leader, what should we do now?”
This question pulled everyone back from their daze.
The congregation looked at each other, all with furrowed brows and bitter faces. Now they found it hard to make a choice.
No matter what they did, the Heavenly Star Upper Sect faced enormous danger.
Xia Tianhe pondered for a moment, secretly telepathically communicating with the three Integration Realm Old Ancestors in the sect, finally gritting his teeth and making a decision.
Now that the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect was destroyed, their Heavenly Star Upper Sect would certainly be unable to resist sooner or later, so it was better to drag the Qingxuan Immortal Sect down before the danger arrived.
The Qingxuan Immortal Sect had lost four Venerables; they couldn’t pretend nothing happened.
As Sect Leader, Xia Tianhe could discern what the Qingxuan Immortal Sect was thinking now.
That Si Kong Qing must believe the people he sent out were targeted and assassinated by other sects in the Fuyao Region!
In his cognition, no one in the Southern True Domain could threaten the people he dispatched.
Seizing this wonderful misunderstanding, Xia Tianhe decided to personally dispel it, making the Qingxuan Immortal Sect understand that their people died at the hands of Five Elements Sword Venerable Ning Qi!
Thus, Xia Tianhe quickly arranged everything. He personally set off for the Qingxuan Immortal Sect and ordered the Heavenly Star Upper Sect to activate the Sect Protecting Grand Formation and seal the sect gates.
After he left, his nephew Xia Xing immediately sent a message to Ning Qi.
Last time, Ning Qi had contacted many who reincarnated into the Mountain Sea Realm and selected one from each sect to establish contact with.
He instructed them to report any major intelligence to him immediately.
So, Xia Xing, even as a newly promoted Great Power in the Heavenly Star Upper Sect and nephew of Sect Leader Xia Tianhe, didn’t hesitate at all and directly sent the information about Xia Tianhe heading to the Qingxuan Immortal Sect to the Realm Lord.
After all, for people from the True Martial Realm who reincarnated here, it was like a dream.
Even if they died here, their Main Body in the True Martial Realm would be fine.
To prevent the Mountain Sea Realm from devouring the True Martial Realm, even if it meant betraying the Heavenly Star Upper Sect, Xia Xing would have no hesitation.
However, for now, this was all he could do; the rest could only be left to the Realm Lord.
…
Ning Qi received the message from Xia Xing and pondered for a moment, but felt no major fluctuations.
Now his Realm Lord Main Body was invincible in the Dao Integration Realm. Si Kong Qing was merely Early Dao Integration; he feared him not at all.
The only thing Ning Qi needed to do was let Xia Tianhe go to the Qingxuan Immortal Sect to invite out Si Kong Qing, drawing him away from the Qingxuan Immortal Sect’s territory to seek trouble with them.
Ning Qi would transform again into Sword-Cutting True Person and slay that Si Kong Qing, eliminating the hidden threat.
After all, didn’t the Qingxuan Immortal Sect also have a “xuan” character like the Northern Profound Upper Sect?
…
Fuyao Region.
Qingxuan Immortal Sect.
As an Immortal Sect promoted just twenty years ago, it was filled with vibrant energy.
In these twenty years, many prodigies had joined, and the Qingxuan Immortal Sect’s strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, all thanks to Old Ancestor Si Kong Qing’s breakthrough.
The only regret for Si Kong Qing was that though the Fuyao Region was vast, most of it had long been occupied by another Immortal Sect.
He was merely Early Dao Integration; how could he dare contend with them?
So, when the neighboring Southern True Domain’s Feathered Ascension Upper Sect came calling, Si Kong Qing’s eyes lit up.
The Fuyao Region offered no opportunity for him to expand, so why not expand into the neighboring Southern True Domain and Northern Xuan Region?
Others in those minor domains might look down on them, but he saw value in them.
Thus, Si Kong Qing immediately dispatched half of his Integration Realm subordinates to clear obstacles for the Qingxuan Immortal Sect’s expansion.
However, with the news that all four had perished simultaneously…
Si Kong Qing’s face turned extremely ugly. This must be other sects targeting the Qingxuan Immortal Sect.
Otherwise, why had all the people he just sent out been wiped out, and all at the same time?
For days, Si Kong Qing was restless.
In this Fuyao Region, aside from that one, who else dared target him?
But if it was truly targeting him, wouldn’t he be done for?
Until word came from the sect entrance that another sect from the Southern True Domain had arrived, and Si Kong Qing went out to meet them.
Seeing Si Kong Qing, Xia Tianhe didn’t even dare breathe heavily.
There were no Dao Integration Realm in the Southern True Domain. Facing the Dao Integration Realm’s Si Kong Qing for the first time, he immediately felt suppressed by his aura.
“Speak, why have you come here?” Si Kong Qing’s words descended as if from the Nine Heavens.
Xia Tianhe then carefully recounted how Ning Qi had slain the seven Integration Realm experts.
After hearing it, Si Kong Qing frowned slightly and asked: “Are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?”
Xia Tianhe repeatedly said he dared not!
“Hiss, your North and South Regions actually have such a prodigy?”
Xia Tianhe smiled bitterly: “Senior Si Kong, before this, I didn’t dare believe Ning Qi was so terrifying either. He has cultivated less than a hundred years and is already an Integration Realm Giant. In the past, this was something unimaginable.”
Si Kong Qing’s brows furrowed deeper. “He doesn’t have some mysterious powerhouse behind him, does he?”
Xia Tianhe was stunned, then understood.
Si Kong Qing must think Ning Qi’s prodigiosity was excessive. For them, a hundred years might be a blink of an eye, yet Ning Qi had become an Integration Giant. No matter how one thought about it, it seemed impossible.
Xia Tianhe said: “To my knowledge, there is no powerhouse behind Ning Qi. From a young age, he was called an Immortal Seed by the Boundless Sword Sect’s Great Powers. As an Immortal Seed, he naturally has the aptitude to ascend to immortality, so he could advance so quickly.”
Hearing this, Si Kong Qing finally dispelled his doubts.
He then used his unique secret technique to test the truth of Xia Tianhe’s words, finally concluding that everything Xia Tianhe said was completely true.
Now Si Kong Qing could no longer remain calm.
The worries of the past days instantly dissipated. It turned out no one was targeting their Qingxuan Immortal Sect; he had been scaring himself.
Since that was the case, the deaths of his four subordinate Venerables could not go unavenged!
At the same time, Si Kong Qing believed Ning Qi must have secrets on him. Otherwise, no matter how prodigious his talent, his rise couldn’t have been this fast.
Thus, Si Kong Qing decided to head immediately to the Boundless Sword Sect and capture Ning Qi!
He glanced at Xia Tianhe and said: “You did well. After I take control of the entire Xuanzhen Domain in the future, I certainly won’t forget your benefits.”
Xia Tianhe felt his whole body relax and immediately cupped his hands: “Then thank you, Senior Si Kong.”
Si Kong Qing nodded. “You return first. You can’t keep up with my speed. I’ll go ahead.”
Before the words finished, his figure had completely vanished from the grand hall.
Xia Tianhe didn’t even know what method Si Kong Qing had used to leave; he could only sigh inwardly that Dao Integration Realm experts were terrifyingly powerful.
The so-called Dao Integration Realm was built on the foundations of Void Dao Realm and Integration Realm.
Void Dao Realm cultivators could use their Primordial Spirit to condense corresponding rules from the Spirit Realm, completely crushing those below Void Dao with rules.
Integration Realm went further, fusing rules into their own body and birthing various supernatural powers.
As for Dao Integration Realm, it was even more terrifying.
Dao Integration Realm cultivators merged their flesh and Primordial Spirit with heaven and earth, with the Spirit Realm. Their flesh and Primordial Spirit leaped again, transforming themselves into Rule Lives.
Thereafter, as long as the rules did not perish, they did not perish, with a lifespan of a million years—one epoch!
After reaching Dao Integration Realm, they were extremely hard to kill, so in the Mountain Sea Realm, Dao Integration Realm was the top-tier existence.
The rule Si Kong Qing mainly cultivated was the Wind Rule. He traveled on the wind, his figure nearly invisible, like a strange wind of the Fuyao Realm, instantly shuttling through the void.
Xia Tianhe was still in the Qingxuan Immortal Sect, but Si Kong Qing had already swept hundreds of miles beyond the sect.
Even though he had just broken through to Dao Integration Realm, the might of Dao Integration was initially shown. Cultivators of lower realms could never comprehend its mysteries.
They could be said to have completely shed the shackles of flesh and Primordial Spirit, as if becoming part of the Spirit Realm, able to easily mobilize the Spirit Realm’s rules for their own use.
For example, Void Dao Realm was forcibly borrowing rules from the Spirit Realm.
Integration Realm was forcibly stuffing the Spirit Realm’s rules into their own pocket.
But Dao Integration Realm was different. The Spirit Realm rules had become part of them, or rather, they had become part of the Spirit Realm, gaining usage rights over the rules they cultivated.
Since breaking through to Dao Integration Realm, Si Kong Qing had never made a move. This outing would be his first time showcasing Dao Integration might.
Dealing with an Integration Realm prodigy was naturally no difficulty.
Si Kong Qing had even already planned in his mind: he would subdue that prodigy named Ning Qi.
Losing four Venerables was no big deal; as long as he supplemented with the Ning Qi who killed them, the Qingxuan Immortal Sect wouldn’t suffer a loss.
Then he would carefully study Ning Qi’s physique, crack the reason for his extraordinarily fast cultivation, and Si Kong Qing felt he would surely gain many benefits.
With this mindset, Si Kong Qing accelerated again, covering a thousand miles in the blink of an eye.
The Qingxuan Immortal Sect behind him grew smaller and smaller until it vanished.
But what Si Kong Qing didn’t notice was that a thousand miles away, a figure was closely following him—it was Ning Qi, who had already arrived outside and was waiting.
The Qingxuan Immortal Sect naturally also had a True Martial Realm seed planted by Ning Qi.
When Xia Xing from the Heavenly Star Upper Sect informed Ning Qi that Xia Tianhe was heading to the Qingxuan Immortal Sect, Ning Qi had naturally set off upon receiving the message.
He had actually arrived outside the Qingxuan Immortal Sect even earlier than Xia Tianhe.
Ning Qi personally saw Xia Tianhe enter the Qingxuan Immortal Sect. Later, the seed inside informed Ning Qi that Si Kong Qing had set off.
Ning Qi immediately perceived Si Kong Qing’s figure.
This old fellow’s speed was so fast that it startled Ning Qi somewhat.
Fortunately, Ning Qi directly linked with his Main Body, borrowing World Power, and in the blink of an eye chased after Si Kong Qing.
Without leaving the Qingxuan Immortal Sect’s sphere of influence, Ning Qi did not plan to act.
For a time, Si Kong Qing sped ahead, while Ning Qi quietly pursued from behind.
Finally, the two arrived at a very desolate area.
Ning Qi tore open the void and directly appeared outside the spot where Si Kong Qing would appear next.
Si Kong Qing saw a human figure suddenly appear ahead of him and was startled.
“What Fellow Daoist blocks my path?”
Si Kong Qing stopped in mid-air, frowning as he looked at the elder ahead.
The elder wore an ancient and simple Daoist robe, with white hair and beard, his face wrinkled like orange peel.
What surprised Si Kong Qing more was that he had reached the Spirit Realm’s highest Dao Integration Realm, yet he couldn’t discern the elder’s cultivation at all!
Si Kong Qing immediately assumed the elder was at least of the same tier as him, hence addressing him as Fellow Daoist.
Ning Qi stretched lazily, with a carefree demeanor. He took a gourd from his waist and gulped down several mouthfuls.
Exhaling a breath of wine, he then said to Si Kong Qing:
“Meeting by chance is fate. Why ask so many questions?”
Si Kong Qing searched his memories thoroughly but couldn’t find any old man matching the one before him.
He couldn’t help but say solemnly: “As long as Fellow Daoist doesn’t block my path, I naturally won’t ask more.”
As Si Kong Qing spoke, he took a step forward, only to find the elder blocking him again.
Seeing the elder follow like a shadow, perfectly matching his speed, Si Kong Qing was slightly moved while also showing some anger.
“What do you mean by this?”
Ning Qi tied the wine gourd back to his waist and said: “The Spirit Realm War is about to begin. This Daoist is traveling everywhere to prove the supreme Dao. Since I happened to encounter you, I can only use you as a stepping stone!”
With that, he drew a sword from his back. The sword light was clear and bright, with green qi swirling around it, as if endless wind pressure brewed upon it.
Then, Ning Qi struck with one sword. The sword in his hand was like a tomb of wind, endless winds of annihilation erupting from the sword, transforming into divine winds that surged toward Si Kong Qing.
Seeing the elder act, Si Kong Qing was first startled.
Because the elder was actually using the Wind Rule as well. Since achieving Dao Integration, he truly hadn’t encountered anyone daring to clash with him on the path of wind.
Combined with the elder’s words, Si Kong Qing immediately envisioned in his mind a strange person who roamed various domains solely for proving the Dao.
Thus, Si Kong Qing also struck with one palm.
In the void, heaven and earth changed color. A giant palm completely condensed from the Wind Rule emerged from the void, grasping toward the divine winds released by the elder.
Both originated from the same source, yet under their hands, they operated in different forms for attack.
Si Kong Qing’s giant palm was shrouded in misty green light, with a touch of chaos color, like a hand naturally born from the Spirit Realm, its power immeasurable.
Meanwhile, Ning Qi’s divine winds were equally extraordinary; each rotation seemed to tear the void.
Finally, the two collided. The giant palm met the divine winds, instantly erupting in boundless light.
With just one clash, Si Kong Qing was stunned.
He clearly felt the opponent’s comprehension of the Wind Rule surpassed his own. In Dao Integration Realm, this manifested as Ning Qi having greater and more usage rights over the Wind Rule than him.
Thus, his giant palm could only tear through one and a half divine winds, while the remaining divine winds completely surrounded his giant palm. The Wind Rule erupted, slicing the giant palm and merging it into the divine winds.
The two battled with the Wind Rule, but the situation displayed was extremely poor.
It was as if a BUG had suddenly appeared in the Spirit Realm: clearly from one source, yet clashing together, making the entire void somewhat chaotic.
Seeing the divine winds continue to assault, Si Kong Qing swiftly dodged.
At the same time, unwilling, he struck again, shouting:
“Wind God Thirty Hands!”
In an instant, Si Kong Qing’s palms struck repeatedly like a tidal wave. From the void flew thirty different wind handprints, like the most origin secret techniques of the Spirit Realm, suppressing toward the divine winds.
Immediately, the divine winds released by Ning Qi were shattered and dispersed, space calming.
Meanwhile, Si Kong Qing’s Wind God Thirty Hands continued suppressing toward Ning Qi.
Ning Qi gripped the sword with both hands and coldly snorted.
“Sword Cuts Wind Capital!”
This was merely a name he casually made up; its essence was actually using Sword Ancestor’s One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws, one sword ruling all Daos.
But to conceal it, Ning Qi changed the name.
With sword and wind Daos, he instantly formed an illusory giant figure before him.
Over a hundred zhang tall, its hands also gripped a dozens-of-zhang-long giant sword, slashing toward Si Kong Qing’s Wind God Thirty Hands.
The two instantly collided, but to Si Kong Qing’s shock and anger, his ultimate technique was cleaved in two by one sword, dissipating with the sword wind.
The sword did not stop, continuing to slash toward him.
Si Kong Qing immediately retreated in flight.
But what he didn’t expect was that Ning Qi’s attack also possessed wind’s divine speed and could shuttle through the void. He found he couldn’t even escape.
The giant sword swept across the sky, striking Si Kong Qing’s body.
Si Kong Qing’s flesh instantly transformed into Wind Rule, attempting to virtualize the attack.
However, the giant sword also surged with endless Wind Rule, slaying him.
In that instant, Si Kong Qing felt a sense of death crisis.
The giant sword was retracted by the hundred-zhang illusory image Ning Qi released.
Strands of Wind Rule Fragments reconverged into Si Kong Qing’s figure. His face was pale, staring at Ning Qi with trembling pupils.
If not for him having become a Rule Life from that strike earlier, Ning Qi would have killed him!
Seeing this, Ning Qi’s eyes also gleamed sharply.
Dao Integration Realm was indeed hard to kill!
But not unkillable. A few more times, completely annihilating his will, and he would be dead.
Thus, Ning Qi launched another attack.
Giant swords swept across the sky one after another, slaying Si Kong Qing several times.
Each time, Si Kong Qing could reconverge his flesh, but each time, his body grew dimmer, almost transparent.
Si Kong Qing reconverged his figure again, crying out in alarm:
“If Fellow Daoist is proving the Dao, we’ve sparred so long, you’ve gained something too. Why exterminate utterly?”
Ning Qi said nothing, merely continuing to swing the giant sword.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the Wind Rule in space tightened.
Both Ning Qi and Si Kong Qing felt the Wind Rule they controlled stagnate.
Both were greatly startled.
Si Kong Qing seemed to think of something and said: “The Mountain Sea Realm Will has intervened. Does Fellow Daoist still wish to act?”
“Spirit Realm Will?”
Ning Qi frowned slightly. He had only one thought in his mind.
As expected, the Great Dao cultivated by Spirit Realm Cultivators was flawed; the Spirit Realm Will could actually intervene!
With the Spirit Realm War imminent, the Mountain Sea Realm Will certainly wouldn’t allow Dao Integration Realm Old Ancestors to slaughter each other, so it intervened in the Wind Rule they controlled.
Ning Qi could only stop. Forcibly killing Si Kong Qing might attract more attention, potentially exposing his Main Body existence, which would be troublesome.
“Scram! Don’t let me see you again!”
Si Kong Qing’s face flushed green and red, not daring to say anything, ultimately flying back to his sect unwillingly.
How was his luck so bad? He encountered a madman who would do anything to prove the Dao right upon going out!
