Slash!
"Ning Yue, don't push your luck!"
Saber Mountain Venerable's face turned ugly. "I've already given you a chance. Since you don't know how to cherish it, don't even think about getting this Soul Jade Pendant!"
"I'm pushing my luck?"
Ning Yue pointed at his nose and said exaggeratedly.
"I remember that He Shu said that as long as I refine the Recovery Elixir before him, he would stand on the spot and let me slash him regardless of my rank. Are you going to go back on your words?"
Swish!
Ning Yue's words made Saber Mountain Venerable clench his teeth in anger.
Although Ning Yue was only a Grade 3 Sovereign and He Shu was a pinnacle Grade 8 Sovereign, He Shu might not be able to block Ning Yue's full-powered attack.
He Fei was already heavily injured. If He Shu was killed by Ning Yue, it would be hard for him to explain himself even if he brought Dan Guzi back to the Alchemy Union.
"You're too much!"
He Shu's face was extremely dark. He unleashed his pinnacle Grade 8 aura and pressed down on Ning Yue.
He Shu wanted to let Ning Yue know that there was always someone better out there!
"Nonsense!"
Sensing He Shu's aura, Saber Mountain Venerable kicked He Shu's butt and reprimanded, "I told you to focus on learning alchemy, but you didn't listen. Now that you've failed, you should be punished!"
"Hmm?"
Ning Yue and the others were puzzled by Saber Mountain Venerable One's words.
It didn't make sense.
No matter how strong He Shu was, he couldn't block Ning Yue's attack.
Could it be that … He Shu had a powerful trump card?
"Ning Yue, I, He Shu, am a man of my words. I'll stand on the spot and let you slash at me!" He Shu took a step forward and closed his eyes. He stretched out his neck and said, "Use your flying sword to slash at my neck. Don't hold back, or I'll look down on you."
Pfft!
The Dark Emperor couldn't help but laugh when he saw He Shu's suicidal look.
The neck, head, and heart were the weakest parts of the human body.
If He Shu allowed Ning Yue to chop off his arm, it would definitely not be a fatal injury.
Now that He Shu had asked Ning Yue to chop off his neck, it was just like the saying, 'If you don't court death, you won't die'.
"Why should I let you see it?"
Shrugging, Ning Yue moved his feet and slowly walked toward the He Tree.
Ning Yue's speed was neither too fast nor too slow.
As he advanced, Ning Yue flicked his wrist, and the Red Demon Sword appeared in his hand.
Chi chi!
The pulsating vital energy on the Red Demon Sword emitted a sizzling sound as it came into contact with the air.
"If you want to chop, then chop. Stop dawdling."
Ning Yue's slow speed made He Shu a little impatient. "Don't ever, ever, ever hold back."
"I see."
After approaching He Shu, Ning Yue's mind stirred, and he finally discovered the source of the problem.
On He Shu's neck, there was a layer of faint white halo.
The halo was very weak, and if one did not look carefully, they would not notice it at all.
Others might not know what the white halo was, but Ning Yue knew it very well.
The Rebound Halo!
The white halo was called the Rebound Halo. As the name suggested, as long as the attack was below the level of a Ninth Grade Human Supreme, it would be reflected.
The greater the strength, the greater the rebound.
"What a wishful thinking. If I had used all my strength to chop off He Shu, I would definitely be the one at a disadvantage."
Frowning slightly, Ning Yue ignored He Shu's mockery and fell into deep thought.
The current situation was indeed a little difficult to advance or retreat.
In Ning Yue's mind, He Shu had to die today!
And with the Rebound Halo, He Shu was almost invincible.
Of course, there was still a possibility, and that was that Ning Yue's attack had reached the level of a Ninth Grade Human Supreme.
That was the only way for the reflective halo to be broken and He Shu to directly die.
"My current all-out attack is at most equivalent to a Peak Eighth Grade Human Supreme, and that's under the premise of using all my strength."
Ning Yue was very clear about his own strength.
If he used all his strength, he could only unleash an attack at the level of a Peak Eighth Grade Human Supreme.
This attack was obviously not enough. He had to think of another way!
"Ning Yue, I say you're dawdling. You're really dawdling. Are you going to cut it or not?"
Seeing Ning Yue's dazed expression, He Shu mocked again.
"Chop, why not?"
Suddenly, Ning Yue's mind shook, and he immediately thought of a countermeasure.
Since you reflected the attack to me, why don't I reflect the attack back?
After a second reflection, He Shu would die for sure!
Thinking of this, Ning Yue said, "He Shu, I'm a little worried now."
"Worried about what?" He Shu was puzzled.
"What if you retaliate when I attack you?" Ning Yue said solemnly.
"Hahaha!" He Shu raised his head and laughed, then coldly said, "My name, He Shu, is trustworthy. Why would I retaliate?"
"That's hard to say. I'm very suspicious of your character." When he spoke up to here, Ning Yue paused for a moment before he continued, "How about this? Take out a few hundred thousand Royal Grade Origin Crystals and put them aside. So long as you fight back, those Royal Grade Origin Crystals will belong to me."
"You, you, you!"
He Shu gritted his teeth in anger.
He Shu extended his right hand and pointed at Ning Yue. "I, He Shu, swear that if I retaliate, I will suffer the Five-Blow-Thunderbolt Tribulation!"
"Alright, I'll reluctantly believe you." Ning Yue shrugged.
"Cut the crap. I know you're stalling for time, but there's no point in doing so. At the end of the day, you still have to face He Shu."
Blade Mountain Venerable was also a little impatient. He also thought that Ning Yue was stalling for time.
If he was really capable, he would have made a move long ago. Why would he wait until now?
As for the fact that Ning Yue saw through the reflective halos, Blade Mountain Venerable did not even think about it.
From Saber Mountain Venerable's point of view, he was the only martial artist present who could spot the reflected light circles.
This included Spiritual Void, who was also a Middle Grade Nine Alchemist!
"Alright, but before I make a move, I have two requests." Ning Yue revealed a helpless expression and said, "Firstly, He Shu has to have his back facing me. No matter what happens, he can't turn around until I step back."
"Second, Blade Mountain Venerable, stay away from me. I'm more afraid of a Middle Grade Nine Sovereign."
"Third, Blade Mountain Venerable, you have to swear on the Heavenly Law that once I kill He Shu, you mustn't send anyone to cause trouble for me."
"Fourth, Blade Mountain Venerable, you …"
"Stop, stop!" Blade Mountain Venerable's face darkened when he heard Ning Yue's request. He said in a deep voice, "You talk too much. Didn't you say you only have two requests? Why are you talking about the fourth one? "
"Is it the fourth one? I'm really sorry, but I'm quite forgetful. "
Ning Yue spread his palms to express his innocence.
"Dan Guzi, why would Ning Yue say such useless things?"
Blade Mountain Venerable knew that Ning Yue's requests were meaningless.
Even if Blade Mountain Venerable agreed to Ning Yue on the surface, he would definitely not fulfill his promise behind his back.
Blade Mountain Venerable knew Middle Grade Nine Sovereigns very well.
