Qiao Jierui wanted to kill Ning Cheng, but Ning Cheng's killing intent towards Qiao Jierui also grew thicker and thicker. Just when he was anxious to find Yan Ji, Qiao Jierui dared to stop him.
Ning Cheng once again brought out his long spear, and it still fell into the dusk. Qiao Jierui breathed a sigh of relief, even with a hint of sarcasm. The same spirit technique didn't work on him the first time, yet he still wanted to use it a second time. Sure enough, he only had a few moves left.
Qiao Jierui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and raised his hand to summon a black mist shadow. The Five-coloured Myriad Connecting Banner turned into five different colours, and as the five colours rapidly expanded, the five-coloured space condensed once again. But this time, the five-coloured space didn't bind Ning Cheng. Instead, it only separated the space for the two to fight. It looked as if it wanted to prevent Ning Cheng from escaping.
The black mist Qiao Jierui shot out suddenly split apart within the five-coloured space. One split into two, two split into four, four split into eight …. As if it had a tangible form, it formed one black dot after another in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the black spots formed from the black mist growing more and more, completely surrounding him from all directions, Ning Cheng could not help but feel a sense of crisis.
These black dots seemed to have a life of their own, making buzzing sounds as they rushed towards Ning Cheng. As they flew through the air, sizzling sounds of corrosion could be heard.
At this time, Ning Cheng not only felt a sense of crisis, but even his scalp felt numb. There were so many black dots, like an endless swarm of bugs, that ignored his domain and rushed over. Once he was completely wrapped up, wouldn't even his bones be corroded?
Ning Cheng was just about to bring out the Time Wheel when he felt a strong fighting intent coming from the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King.
Ning Cheng's heart moved, and he immediately brought out the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King.
The moment Ning Cheng brought out the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King, it immediately began to spread crazily. Contrary to the black mist, the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King's rattan branches began to grow from its main vine. Countless branches sprouted out from the main vine, and then more branches sprouted out from the branches. In the blink of an eye, they covered the surrounding space.
The endless black dots formed from the black mist, like moths flying into a flame, were sucked away by the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King's rattan branches. Some of the bigger black spots seemed to have gained spiritual wisdom and wanted to avoid the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King's vines as much as possible. However, at this time, the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King's branches forcibly rushed up and swept away the black dots.
Ning Cheng breathed in a sigh of relief. He felt sure that Qiao Jierui cultivated a devil technique. Looking at the situation, Qiao Jierui's bad luck for this Devil Technique to bump into the recently advanced Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King.
While Qiao Jierui was still in shock, Ning Cheng's Sunset's Twilight finally arrived. Time came to a standstill once more, and the surroundings froze once more.
Qiao Jierui roared. But before he could break free from Sunset's Twilight, he saw a distant ancient road at the end of the sunset. With just one step, he stood on the ancient path.
The ancient path was long and distant. Strong winds swept up the yellow sand, obscuring the ancient path so that one could only vaguely see the blurry shadow in front.
In the gaps between the yellow sands, he saw the scene of him breaking up with his lover before he started cultivating. On the other side of the yellow sand, his lover looked at him with red eyes. Don't leave.
A kind of sadness filled his body and mind, and a kind of nostalgia made it difficult for him to choose. At this moment, his world was filled with sadness. At this moment, his heart turned grey. Was it to depend on each other, or to separate?
The ancient path in front of him, the west wind, the wild sand, the thin horse in front of him, his lover, the village …
The thin horse beside him neighed, telling him that it was time to leave. It told him that he should pursue a bigger world. It told him that this was just a stop in his life. It told him that he should strengthen his Dao Heart.
The yellow sand rolled up again, seemingly sweeping away the blurry figure of his lover in the distance. He even wanted to chase after her, but his Dao Heart was as hard as iron. Therefore, he turned around resolutely.
An icy chill suddenly pulsated from the deepest part of his heart. This icy chill instantly filled his body and mind, and everything in front of him disappeared without a trace.
He felt an aura of death coming from the depths of his soul. Qiao Jierui's body turned cold, and he didn't even think about it. He crazily burned his lifespan and twisted his body.
Almost at the same time that Qiao Jierui sobered up and burned his lifespan to twist his body, Ning Cheng's long spear slammed into Qiao Jierui's left chest.
"Poof!" A mist of blood filled the sky, and Ning Cheng saw Qiao Jierui turn into a black light and disappear without a trace.
Ning Cheng fell down on the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King and spat out a mouthful of blood. Qiao Jierui was too powerful. Not only was he strong, but his Dao Heart was also firm. Ning Cheng's Sunset's Twilight combined with the None-to-depend-on Spirit Technique couldn't kill this person. All he did was leave an arm behind.
Facing such a powerful opponent like Qiao Jierui, Ning Cheng had to cast several spirit techniques at the same time. Fortunately, Qiao Jierui escaped immediately after suffering severe injuries. If he hadn't escaped, Ning Cheng would have suffered severe injuries today.
Swallowing a few medicinal pills, Ning Cheng took in a deep breath. He knew that the stronger the opponent, the more energy he would consume to cast spirit techniques. Especially the None-to-depend-on Spirit Technique, the stronger the opponent's Dao Heart, the more energy it would take to cast it.
If it were an ordinary late-stage Eternal cultivator, Ning Cheng could have killed the other party with both Sunset's Twilight and None-to-depend-on Spirit Techniques without suffering any backlash.
But Qiao Jierui wasn't an ordinary cultivator. But Ning Cheng also knew that if Qiao Jierui hadn't reached Dao Confirming Realm, this would be the closest Qiao Jierui would ever get to him. Once he advanced to the Eternal Realm, Qiao Jierui wouldn't stand a chance in front of him.
… …
Qiao Jierui didn't know that Ning Cheng had also exhausted himself. In fact, even if he knew, he wouldn't dare to stay and kill Ning Cheng. At this moment, he regretted stopping Ning Cheng.
He didn't expect Ning Cheng's progress to be so terrifying. In just a few years, Ning Cheng had already reached this level. No wonder Chuan Xinlou didn't fight against Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng's cultivation wasn't any weaker than Chuan Xinlou's before he reached Dao Confirming Realm. But at this moment, even Qiao Jierui knew that his vision was far inferior to Chuan Xinlou's.
If it weren't for his firm Dao Heart, which allowed him to resolutely turn around in the face of the spirit technique's confusion, this universe would have long since ceased to exist.
… …
Ning Cheng wasn't in the mood to chase after Qiao Jierui. But before he could bring out the Starry Sky Wheel again, a burst of thunder resounded over the starry sky.
Ning Cheng had already faced tribulation several times, so he naturally knew what was going on. Thunder tribulation had arrived.
Thunder tribulation? Ning Cheng frowned as he looked at the distant starry sky. He really couldn't understand why he would face a thunder tribulation at this time. Hadn't he advanced to the Eternal Realm yet? Moreover, he felt that he was still a small step away from the Eternal Realm, not to mention facing a thunder tribulation.
Ning Cheng wasn't afraid of facing a tribulation. What he feared was a waste of time.
The Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King sent out a thought, asking Ning Cheng to step aside a little. Only then did Ning Cheng realise that the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King was about to face its tribulation.
Although Ning Cheng was anxious to go back, he could only wait for the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King to face its tribulation.
Nine lightning arcs descended, and the scattered vines of the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King instantly gathered together, turning into nine thick vine branches that collided with the nine descending lightning arcs.
Bursts of pungent burnt smell spread out, and Ning Cheng understood that the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King's vine branches had been burnt by the lightning arcs.
Knowing that the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King suffered a loss, Ning Cheng didn't plan to take action. For any living creature, surmounting a tribulation was a manifestation of strength improvement. If he forcibly took action, it might affect the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King.
The Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King didn't disappoint Ning Cheng. Even if its vine branches were burnt, it quickly stretched out its vine branches again and again, clashing with the lightning tribulation arcs.
The Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King and Ning Cheng had a spiritual connection. Therefore, Ning Cheng could feel the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King's injuries. At the same time, he also felt the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King's aura growing stronger.
As the lightning tribulation arcs descended one after another, even Ning Cheng couldn't help but admire the tenacity of the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King. These lightning tribulation arcs were not worth mentioning at all to him, but for the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King, each lightning arc carried fatal damage.
"Boom-Boom-Boom …." After the last few lightning tribulation arcs descended, a Starry Sky Spiritual Qi Cloud descended from the starry sky. The Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King's vine branches stretched out crazily and easily swept away the Starry Sky Spiritual Qi Cloud.
Another hour passed, and the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King's aura grew even stronger. A clear voice then appeared in Ning Cheng's consciousness, "Master, I succeeded in surmounting the tribulation. I can now completely separate from the True Spirit World. I just need to transform into a Teng Rune. "
Master? Ning Cheng froze for a moment, but soon understood what was going on. The Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King had learned this technique from that stupid bull.
"You can transform into a Teng Rune. You wasted a few hours in surmounting the tribulation. You have to hurry back." Ning Cheng nodded.
Ning Cheng's voice had just fallen when the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King's vine branches covering the starry sky disappeared in an instant. A moment later, a black light fell on Ning Cheng's wrist. Ning Cheng looked at his wrist, and saw that there was a faint black mark on it.
"What was that black mist from Qiao Jierui?" After Ning Cheng brought out the Starry Sky Wheel, he couldn't help but ask the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King.
The Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King's voice came over, "Replying to master, it's a kind of Underworld Devil Corpse Mist Insect. Once trapped by the Underworld Devil Corpse Mist Insect, one would end up getting eaten by this insect. Even one's essence spirit would disappear. But since he met me, he can only consider himself unlucky. I'm not afraid of things from the Netherworld. For me, it's a great supplement. "
Ning Cheng's heart moved. If the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King didn't fear things from the Netherworld, wouldn't it mean that he would have an assistant when he went to the Ancient Shadow Temple?
Ning Cheng didn't ask the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King about it. He decided to wait until he went to the Ancient Shadow Temple. He hadn't even reached the Eternal Realm yet, so it was still too early to talk about the Ancient Shadow Temple.
"Master, you must be careful of those Underworld Devil Corpse Mist Insects. Once those Underworld Devil Corpse Mist Insects advance, I wouldn't be able to eat those mist insects if I hadn't advanced." The Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King reminded Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng nodded and asked, "If I hadn't bought that Wood Origin Crystal before, you wouldn't have advanced so quickly, would you? Could you kill those Underworld Devil Corpse Mist Insects before you advanced? "
The Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King spoke up with some shame, "Master, I couldn't eat those Underworld Devil Corpse Mist Insects before I advanced."
Ning Cheng secretly felt that it was a close call. If he hadn't bought a Wood Origin Crystal by chance, which allowed the Underworld Crow Ghost Rattan King to successfully advance. Today's battle with Qiao Jierui would have ended with Ning Cheng escaping instead of Qiao Jierui. As for the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow, it was his trump card. He wouldn't take it out unless it was a last resort.
