"Is that all you've got?"
However, just when everyone thought the grey-clothed old man was going to win, an indifferent and slightly disdainful voice resounded in the area.
Whoosh!
Everyone shifted their gaze in the direction where the voice came from.
Gasp!
What they saw caused the surrounding cultivators to suck in a breath of cold air.
The person who spoke was none other than Ning Yue who was fighting the grey-clothed old man earlier.
Ning Yue was currently hovering in the air with his arms crossed in front of his chest, looking indifferent.
On the other hand, the grey-clothed old man was lying on the ground like a dead dog. His aura was extremely weak.
Some of the sharp-eyed martial artists noticed that the grey-clothed old man's fists had already been smashed into a bloody pulp.
"This …"
Everyone's faces were filled with bitterness.
At this moment, even the stupidest person knew that the grey-clothed old man had been utterly defeated.
"This is infuriating! This is infuriating!"
The grey-clothed old man supported himself with his elbow and struggled to stand up. He yelled at Ning Yue, "You're finished. No one in this world can save you. Heavenly Fortune …"
"You talk too much!"
Before the old man could finish his sentence, Ning Yue had already chased after him and raised his right leg.
Ning Yue knew very well that the grey-clothed old man's cultivation base was at the peak of the Half-step Heaven Immortal Realm. If he used the Heavenly Fortune Stone, his strength would definitely improve significantly.
Although Ning Yue was not afraid of the grey-clothed old man who had improved his strength, it was always better to have less trouble.
Crack!
Ning Yue was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, his right leg landed on the grey-clothed old man's neck.
A crack was heard. The grey-clothed old man's eyes widened and his mouth was agape. His face was filled with disbelief.
The grey-clothed old man would never have thought that he would be defeated by a Perfected Human Immortal Realm martial artist. Not only that, he was utterly defeated.
Ding!
The Heavenly Fortune Stone in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Bang!
Following that, the grey-robed old man's eyes dimmed, and his aura rapidly fell to rock bottom.
"You want to leave?"
Although the old man's aura had fallen to rock bottom, Ning Yue knew very well that the old man's soul was still intact.
As long as the primordial spirit escaped, the grey-robed old man could possess another person to be reborn and cultivate again.
Ning Yue was very clear about the principle that weeds would grow again if the roots were not removed.
Therefore, he had been paying attention to the gray-robed elder's corpse. As soon as the cold light shot out from the gray-robed elder's body, he rushed out and drew the Red Demon Sword.
Although the Red Devil Sword had fallen into a deep slumber along with the Red Devil after devouring the tribulation clouds and tribulation fluid, Ning Yue knew that only it could trap the gray-robed old man's soul.
After all, the grey-robed old man was a peak half-step Heaven Immortal, and his Primordial Spirit was not too weak.
"You can't kill me. I'm a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Secrets Sect. Killing me is equivalent to offending the entire Heavenly Secrets Sect!"
Some people could explode with shocking combat power in the face of death.
However, most people would choose to kneel and beg for mercy in the face of death.
The grey-robed old man was obviously the latter.
He controlled his primordial spirit to appear, kneeling and begging Ning Yue for mercy.
"As long as you don't kill me, I can ask the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Secrets Sect to make an exception and promote you to a God's Son. You'll enjoy the best treatment in the Heavenly Secrets Sect.
"Moreover, I'll give you resources, a large amount of resources, so that you can advance to an Earth Immortal or even a Heaven Immortal in a short period of time."
Ning Yue looked at the grey-robed old man's primordial spirit without saying a word.
A while later.
After the grey-robed old man stopped begging, Ning Yue said calmly, "Your promise is very tempting."
Phew!
The grey-robed old man heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ning Yue's words. The worry in his heart was slightly alleviated.
As long as Ning Yue didn't kill him now, he would show Ning Yue what cruelty was once the blue-robed old man and black-robed old man from the Heavenly Secrets Sect recovered.
"Don't worry. I'll protect you when we get to the high-ranking members."
The grey-robed old man continued to brag when he saw that Ning Yue was tempted. He wanted to use sugar-coated bullets to destroy Ning Yue's psychological defenses.
However.
Who was Ning Yue?
Even if the grey-robed old man doubled his offer, he would not be tempted, let alone the fact that the grey-robed old man's offer was already tempting.
Ning Yue's standard was to believe what he heard, and to see was to believe.
Don't try to be modest with me. I won't fall for that.
The reason why Ning Yue wasn't in a hurry to kill the grey-robed old man's Yuan Spirit was because he was afraid that the two experts from the Heavenly Secrets Sect would use Zhao Rui to threaten him.
After all, his goal in coming here was to save Zhao Rui. If the two experts from the Heavenly Secrets Sect used Zhao Rui to threaten him, he would have to hold back.
This was the reason why he left the old man's Yuan Spirit behind.
"Ning Yue, should we …"
Human Devil came to Ning Yue's side and whispered.
Although the Human Demon didn't say the rest, Ning Yue knew what he was talking about.
The Human Demon was worried that leaving the old man's Yuan Spirit behind would cause unforeseen events.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Waving his hand at the Human Demon, Ning Yue whispered, "If the two powerhouses come out of the Heavenly Mystery Hall later, you'll be the first to enter the Heavenly Mystery Hall and find a way to break the array formation to save Zhao Rui."
"Understood."
The Human Demon opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he chose to shut it in the end.
Having been with Ning Yue for so long, the Human Demon understood Ning Yue's way of doing things very well.
He wouldn't fight a battle he wasn't confident in.
Since Ning Yue was so confident, it meant that Ning Yue had at least a ninety percent chance of winning.
Drip, drip, drip!
Time was ticking away.
Faced with the old man's incessant chatter, Ning Yue put away the Red Demon Sword and closed his eyes to rest.
"Why isn't he coming out yet?"
The old man was very anxious.
His physical body had already been destroyed. If he could not find another suitable body to possess in a short period of time, then with every passing minute, his primordial spirit would weaken a little bit.
Therefore, he kept urging the two powerhouses in the Secret Heaven Hall to settle Zhao Rui down as soon as possible and come out to kill Ning Yue.
"Rise!"
Inside the Heavenly Secrets Sect, the black-robed and blue-robed old man waved their hands and shot to their feet, growling, "Seal!"
As the black-clothed and blue-clothed old men spoke, several terrifying pillars of light rose from their surroundings, instantly enveloping Zhao Rui.
Originally, there was an array formation around Zhao Rui, and now, there were several terrifying light pillars. It could be said that Zhao Rui was now absolutely safe.
Even a peak half-step Heavenly Immortal wouldn't be able to take Zhao Rui away.
"Let's go. I'd like to see just how strong this Ning Yue is."
The black-robed old man stomped on the ground, ready to charge out.
"Wait!"
