Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 50: One Man, One Sword, Assaulting the Fiery Sun Sect!
However, Ning Xuan was not afraid. His current cultivation was at the Fifth Layer Heavens of the Profound Realm. Most importantly, he had Si Lanyi by his side to replenish his Element Force, which meant he could go all out.
Of course, Tang Mo was not the target of his full power. Xiao Linquan, who watched them like a hungry tiger, was the strongest one here.
"That’s right, the Earth Realm! I admit your sword is fast, but in the face of absolute power, everything is futile!" Tang Mo nodded, his expression full of arrogance.
Despite his words, his eyes were incredibly clear. To be honest, if this Ning Xuan’s cultivation realm were any higher, I’d take a detour to avoid him. This opponent is terrifying. Underestimating him would mean my own demise! I, Tang Mo, will not make such a mistake.
"Is that so?"
Before his voice had even faded, Ning Xuan vanished.
BOOM!
Tang Mo raised his hand and pressed down on the empty air. Amid the explosive sound, an immense pressure descended as if a towering mountain were collapsing upon them. An Earth Realm Martial Artist could borrow the power of their surroundings for their own use!
Ning Xuan’s advance slowed, but he was still as fast as a thunderclap.
BANG!
The invisible mountain shattered, and Ning Xuan’s sword struck the spot where Tang Mo had just been standing.
Tang Mo had already vanished. The ground abruptly rose, forming an earthen wall that threatened to seal Ning Xuan inside.
With an expressionless face, Ning Xuan swiped with two fingers like a blade. The earthen wall was cleaved in two as a peerless wave of Sword Qi shot out horizontally, reaching Tang Mo in an instant.
With a furious roar, Tang Mo retreated several meters. A row of large trees was sliced clean in two by the sharp Sword Qi.
After steadying himself, Tang Mo swiped a hand across his neck. He looked down at his palm. It was covered in blood. If he had been a fraction of a second slower, he would have been decapitated!
"I still underestimated you!" Tang Mo’s pupils contracted, his expression growing extremely grave.
At the same time, a battle saber appeared in his hand.
"Now try one of my attacks!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
Before his voice faded, a peerless Sword Light tore through the void, slashing toward Ning Xuan.
That Martial Skill was from Su Yue Zhuai!
"Invincible Saber Intent!"
Xiao Linquan was stunned. He hadn’t seen Tang Mo fight in a long time and never expected him to have secretly comprehended the true meaning of the Way of the Saber.
However, something even more shocking occurred: before Tang Mo’s peerless strike could even connect with Ning Xuan, his head was already flying into the air. Xiao Linquan only caught a glimpse of a dazzling light; he didn’t even see how Ning Xuan had done it!
The top prodigy of the Fiery Sun Sect’s younger generation was eliminated just like that. The sight was absolutely stunning!
"Fire!" Shaken to his core, Xiao Linquan gave the order without hesitation.
WHIZ! WHIZ! WHIZ!
Arrow after arrow tore through the air, carrying an unstoppable, formidable power. They had all been prepared for Si Lanyi, and each one possessed the terrifying ability to instantly kill a Second Grade Dao Xuan Master. Now, they were being unleashed indiscriminately against both Ning Xuan and Si Lanyi!
"I’ll handle them," Si Lanyi’s cold voice rang out as Ning Xuan vanished.
His target was unmistakably Xiao Linquan!
Xiao Linquan roared in anger as an Element Force barrier materialized around him. Simultaneously, a colossal hand made of Element Force pressed down from the sky, its power far surpassing Tang Mo’s previous attack!
With a low cry, Ning Xuan activated his White Tiger divine vein.
Xiao Linquan’s vision blurred, and a sharp pain lanced through his throat. His eyes widened in shock.
Ning Xuan’s speed had somehow increased even more after he attacked. It completely overturned Xiao Linquan’s understanding of reality!
Even with a sword at the man’s throat, Ning Xuan didn’t feel it was enough. He swiped with his fingers.
The head flew high into the air!
Xiao Linquan, an elder of the Fiery Sun Sect, had been killed in an instant!
THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!
At the same moment, Si Lanyi had also succeeded. The distant archers were all killed by their own redirected arrows!
Ning Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and collapsed to the ground.
Just then, the space behind Ning Xuan seemed to twist, and a figure appeared.
"Watch out!" Si Lanyi’s expression changed drastically. She wanted to intervene, but it was too late.
PFFT!
A head hit the dirt. It was the head of an old woman, rolling to a stop behind Ning Xuan.
The weapon that had slain her was none other than Tang Mo’s battle saber!
The Fourth Realm of the Way of the Sword, the Sword Heart: to have no sword in hand, yet all that the mind conceives becomes my sword!
When the old woman’s head stopped rolling, it stared up with wide, disbelieving eyes. She had never imagined, even in death, that she would be slain in such a manner!
Si Lanyi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately used a Dao Xuan Technique to restore Ning Xuan’s Element Force.
Meanwhile, the space not far away trembled, revealing the Wang Yang. Mo Li, who had been trying to flee unnoticed, was trapped within it.
BOOM!
A deep blue explosion erupted from within the Wang Yang. Mo Li had activated his Strange Fire! Caught off guard for a moment, Si Lanyi lost her grip on him, and he managed to break free.
"Don’t worry about me!" Ning Xuan’s voice rang out.
Without hesitation, Si Lanyi acted. The Wang Yang reappeared in the distance. She reached out a hand and pulled, yanking Mo Li from afar and bringing him captive right before her.
"Don’t kill me! It wasn’t my fault! It was all the Fiery Sun Sect’s idea, I was forced!" Having witnessed Ning Xuan’s and Si Lanyi’s terrifying methods, Mo Li completely broke down. The old woman’s death, in particular, had dealt him an indescribable shock.
Ning Xuan’s expression darkened.
"Wait!" Mo Li pleaded, panicking even more as he realized his mistake. "My brother cultivates at the Star Moon Pavilion. If I go to the Fiery Sun Sect, they won’t suspect a thing. I can help you eliminate the Fiery Sun Sect for good!"
Si Lanyi looked to Ning Xuan for his decision.
"Kill him," Ning Xuan said, his face an emotionless mask.
Mo Li’s words had already sealed his fate.
"Spare—"
Before he could finish the word, Si Lanyi struck him down.
Ning Xuan collected the three Storage Rings, which belonged to Mo Li, Tang Mo, and Xiao Linquan.
After erasing their spiritual imprints, he took a look inside. Each Storage Ring contained a considerable amount of Element Crystals, especially those belonging to Tang Mo and Xiao Linquan. Theirs each held over a million Element Crystals.
This gave Ning Xuan an idea.
"Lanyi, what do you say we pay a visit to the Fiery Sun Sect?"
Si Lanyi gave a small smile. "I’ll follow your lead."
"Then let’s go! Otherwise, dealing with their endless pursuit would be too much of a hassle!" Ning Xuan decided on the spot, without any hesitation.
"Little White, stop hiding and come out! You should know where the Fiery Sun Sect is. Lead the way!"
A barking Little White came dashing out.
「The main gate of the Fiery Sun Sect.」
"What are you do—"
PFFT!
The gate-keeping disciple didn’t even finish his sentence before his head was sent flying.
Having arrived at the Fiery Sun Sect, Ning Xuan disdained using any schemes or tricks. He decided to launch a direct, open assault and slaughter his way in!
In the beginning, many disciples were decapitated before they even caught a glimpse of Ning Xuan’s shadow. Si Lanyi was just as terrifying. She simply unleashed Shentu Yan’s Scorching Sun Storm.
One Fiery Sun Sect disciple after another was incinerated into ash.
The Fiery Sun Sect was a subordinate of the Star Moon Pavilion, which in turn was backed by Su Yue Zhuai, one of the three great preeminent sects. With such a powerful background, who would ever dare to act so brazenly against them?
Because of this, the Fiery Sun Sect had no warning formations whatsoever.
The pair carved a path of destruction straight through the sect. By the time the Fiery Sun Sect’s leadership was alerted, they were already deep within its territory!
In a wide, open plaza, Ning Xuan and Si Lanyi were completely surrounded. The crowd of sect members continued to grow, numbering at least five hundred by a conservative estimate. The periphery of the plaza was littered with headless corpses and small piles of mangled flesh. Blood pooled into rivers, flowing steadily down the grand stone steps.
"How dare you come to my Fiery Sun Sect and carry out a massacre!"
"A mere Profound Realm Martial Warrior and a Second Grade Dao Xuan Master dare to assault our sect? Do you think the Fiery Sun Sect has no one to stand against you?!"
From above the plaza, before the grand hall, a voice filled with murderous intent thundered, shaking the very heavens.
