Under Guo Haoge's frenzied attack, the five azure-lotus nails erupted with thousands of azure-coloured lights. These azure-coloured lights instantly fused together, forming a circle of azure-coloured ripples.
"Bang-Bang-Bang …." The azure-coloured ripples collided with Ning Cheng's domain, producing bursts of muffled bangs. Ning Cheng's domain suppressing Guo Haoge finally broke free. Even Ning Cheng's spear patterns tore apart under the waves of azure-coloured ripples.
When he felt the pressure on his body lighten, Guo Haoge breathed a sigh of relief. Without any hesitation, the azure-coloured ripples from the five azure-lotus nails split again, turning into five bursting azure-coloured killing intents. This time, the explosive power of the azure-coloured killing intents was too strong and directly broke through Ning Cheng's domain.
For Guo Haoge, even if he had to consume some of his lifespan, he wanted to take this opportunity to kill Ning Cheng.
This was his most powerful spirit technique, specifically for cultivators with stronger domains than him. This spirit technique was called the Azure-Lotus Dragging Nail.
Once he met an opponent with a stronger domain, his five azure-lotus nails could fuse into azure-coloured ripples, blocking the opponent's domain and allowing him to escape from danger. Once he escaped from the opponent's domain, the azure-coloured ripples would split again. After splitting, the azure-coloured ripples would ignore space and nail the opponent in the void in the shortest possible time.
His five azure-lotus nails already had the effect of binding the opponent. Coupled with his space-related spirit technique, the five azure-lotus nails instantly locked onto the opponent.
This spirit technique allowed him to kill several opponents stronger than him. The only drawback was that this spirit technique consumed too much celestial essence and spiritual consciousness. In addition to burning his essence blood, he also had to burn a part of his lifespan.
Even if he knew that Guo Haoge wasn't his opponent, Ning Cheng didn't underestimate Guo Haoge. When Guo Haoge's five azure-lotus nails broke through his domain's shackles and then struck back at him at the fastest speed, Ning Cheng became even more cautious. Sure enough, he had a few tricks up his sleeves.
The surrounding space paused for a moment, and then a vacuum zone appeared. This vacuum zone was completely under Guo Haoge's control.
Ning Cheng was also a person who had come into contact with the Laws of Space, so he was naturally not unfamiliar with this kind of spirit technique. Compared to Qiao Jierui's use of the Five-coloured Myriad Connecting Banner to control space, Guo Haoge's understanding of the Laws of Space was much better. Since Guo Haoge was able to display a Spirit Technique enhanced by the Laws of Space without using any spatial treasures, it meant that he had also come into contact with the Laws of Space.
If he hadn't touched the Laws of Space, Ning Cheng could have only used the time stagnation to escape from the opponent's control of space and then counterattack.
At this moment, Ning Cheng didn't even move. The middle-rank spirit artefact long spear drew a strange arc in the void, and the space under Guo Haoge's control started to tremble. It was as if someone had suddenly taken something away and disappeared without a trace. Without the cover of the Exclusive Space, the trajectory of the five Azure Lotus Nails clearly appeared in Ning Cheng's mind.
The long spear once again drew a few shadows, bringing along a series of spear patterns. The five Azure Lotus Nails and the Spear Pattern collided, producing a series of clanging sounds.
Guo Haoge's reaction was extremely fast. Since Ning Cheng had broken through his Azure Lotus Dragging Nails, he knew that he was definitely not Ning Cheng's opponent.
"Stop …." Guo Haoge's voice was completely torn apart by Ning Cheng's Spear Light, and not even a bit of it could be heard. Except for Ning Cheng, who heard Guo Haoge's reminder to stop, everyone else felt shocked by Ning Cheng's power.
Ning Cheng didn't even have any killing intent on his face. Instead, all of his killing intent was focused on the spirit artefact long spear that blocked the five Azure Lotus Nails. When he wanted to kill him, he had put in so much effort. But now that he saw that he didn't die, he wanted him to stop? Even if he wanted to dream, he had to dream about something realistic.
"Sunset's Twilight …." Ning Cheng took a step forward, and the long spear in his hand once again shot out. Guo Haoge was far stronger than ordinary Eternal cultivators. Ning Cheng knew that if he wanted to kill him in a short time, he would have to use a spirit technique. He didn't want Guo Haoge to say the word 'admit defeat'. Once Guo Haoge said that word, it would be against the rules if he killed Guo Haoge.
How could Guo Haoge not know that Ning Cheng wanted to kill him? He didn't think that Ning Cheng would have such courage to kill River Luo Sacred Sect's Sacred Son. He didn't have time to think about anything else and reached out to pat his glabella. A mere rogue cultivator, even if someone had a better understanding of the Laws of Space than him, couldn't kill him.
As the sun set in the west and dusk arrived, a beautiful scene suddenly appeared. Guo Haoge suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He felt that he had lost a lot of things since he started cultivating. But life was short, and dusk was just a blink of an eye.
Guo Haoge's palm was just a millimeter away from his glabella, but his palm suddenly stopped. He wanted this dusk to stop and not continue. He still had a lot of things to do.
Dusk had truly stopped, and time had truly stopped.
An ice-cold murderous intent pierced through Guo Haoge's palm and reached his glabella. Guo Haoge suddenly realised that this was a spirit technique. He had fallen into the opponent's concept-type spirit technique, which also fused with the Laws of Time.
Ning Cheng's spear directly destroyed his trump card. Guo Haoge, who was on the verge of death, suddenly went crazy. His imposing aura soared, and Sunset's Twilight disappeared in an instant.
"Poof ….." The long spear slammed into Guo Haoge's glabella. Even if Guo Haoge's imposing aura soared, it was too late.
As soon as the long spear pierced through, Guo Haoge's aura disappeared without a trace. No matter how powerful the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children were, once they died, they would all turn into corpses.
Ning Cheng raised his hand and swept away Guo Haoge's things before breathing out a sigh of relief. Guo Haoge was much stronger than ordinary Eternal cultivators. Moreover, when he used Sunset's Twilight, he fused his concept-type spirit technique with the Laws of Time. This allowed Guo Haoge to remain stagnant for a longer time. But even so, Guo Haoge quickly woke up.
Life and death were decided in a split second. Even if Guo Haoge woke up in time, he was still too slow. That split second was more than enough to kill him several times over.
Ji He killed Guo Haoge? What kind of rhythm was this? Why did Ji He show strength far stronger than what he showed on the Grand Essence Grand Tournament Stage?
Several cultivators who hadn't started yet stared at Ning Cheng in shock. Ning Cheng not only killed Guo Haoge, but also killed him quickly and easily. Guo Haoge didn't even get to use his trump card before dying. How many of the cultivators who came here were muddle-headed? Immediately, everyone realised that Ning Cheng had concealed his strength.
Ji Pingzhong felt a chill down his spine. He knew Guo Haoge's strength better than anyone else. Although Guo Haoge ranked fifth, he wasn't too far behind him. The strength of the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children was divided into three tiers. The top three were one tier, which meant that these three people were far stronger than the others.
The fourth to seventh tiers were one tier, while the seventh to twelfth tiers were another. In fact, the gap between the other two tiers wasn't that big. Only the top three were a tier higher.
Ji He, whom he initially regarded as a dead man, had killed Guo Haoge. Guo Haoge, as one of the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children and River Luo Sacred Sect's Sacred Son, naturally had his own life-saving means. But when Ji He killed Guo Haoge, Guo Haoge didn't even have to use any life-saving means.
Ji He definitely wasn't Ji He's opponent. Ji Pingzhong immediately sobered up and calmed down.
Yin Ying's attention was initially focused on the fight between Lu Yixian and Aiden. Aiden, in particular, gave her an elusive feeling. But after Ning Cheng killed Guo Haoge in a short time, Yin Ying's gaze immediately fell on Ning Cheng. She suddenly felt that it wasn't just Aiden who was elusive. This Ning felt just as strange as she did.
Yan Xishuang and Mu Shuifeng were still fighting. Ning Cheng could see that Yan Xishuang had the upper hand, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he looked at Ji Pingzhong.
When Ji Pingzhong saw Ning Cheng's gaze sweep over, he felt a chill in his heart. However, he didn't dare to speak.
Ning Cheng walked up to Ji Pingzhong and spoke without any hurry, "Which stone door are you going to choose?"
Ji Pingzhong secretly clenched his fists and resisted the urge to attack. Then, he walked to the tenth stone door and spoke, "I choose this stone door."
Compared to spirit essence transformation, staying alive was naturally more important. What's more, even if he entered the tenth stone door, he wouldn't necessarily not be able to transform spirit essence. He was still young and didn't want to lose his life in this place. The Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children weren't too old. Once you exceeded a certain age, no matter how strong you were, you wouldn't have the qualifications to be selected as one of the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children.
Ji Pingzhong chose the tenth stone door mainly because he didn't want to participate in the competition for the stone door. Generally, cultivators who chose the tenth stone door weren't allowed to be challenged, because there was no reason for them to challenge. Of course, if the background of the two challengers was too different, the other party might just challenge and kill you.
Ning Cheng didn't know about this rule. He just smiled and walked towards the tenth stone door. He looked up at the groove on the stone door and said, "I also choose this stone door. Let's do it."
Blue veins bulged on Ji Pingzhong's forehead. He chose the tenth stone door, which was tantamount to admitting defeat. Yet, Ning Cheng still chased after him. This meant that he wanted to kill him.
No one spoke up for Ji Pingzhong at this time. Everyone could already see Ning Cheng's strength. In this place, there was no such thing as background. Even if one wanted to talk about a background, they would have to wait until they got out of this place. Ning Cheng now made it clear that he wanted to kill Ji Pingzhong. So who would want to stand up?
"What the hell do you want?" Ji Pingzhong resisted the humiliation in his heart. He was ranked fourth among the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children. No matter where he went, he would always be the object of respect. But at this time, a rogue cultivator had forced him to such a point.
If word got out that he, one of the Grand Essence's 12 Sacred Children, was forced into a fight by a rogue cultivator, not to mention him, even his sect wouldn't have any face left.
Although Ji Pingzhong felt angry, he remained calm in his heart. He could lose face, but he couldn't lose his life. He felt sure that as long as he fought with Ning Cheng, there was a 90% chance that he would follow in Guo Haoge's footsteps. He couldn't afford to gamble. He would kill this rogue cultivator in front of him, but not now. Instead, he would wait until he completed the spirit essence transformation.
