Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 109 Facing Xue Xian, the River God Escapes

Yang Ning had long known that the sinister young man did not have a Purple Heart Stone.

But he never expected that he didn't even have any silver taels, instead his storage bag was filled with various weapons.

Not only were there knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, but there were also many strange weapons that Yang Ning didn't recognize.

In total, there were more than three thousand pieces!

And most of them were Peerless Grade Mortal Weapons. If they were ordinary, they must have been designed to be very beautiful.

"Is he a fanatic of cold weapons?" Yang Ning confirmed that he wasn't after flipping through all these weapons one by one.

Because he found a Spirit Weapon!

It was a three-legged giant tripod with two ears. The diameter of the tripod mouth was only 20 centimeters wide, but it was 1.6 meters tall.

It was more like a cannon barrel than a tripod!

And its usage was also very simple. Throw cold weapons into it, then give commands to the tripod, and it would project the cold weapons out.

The lighter the weight, the faster the projection speed. For example, a javelin reached a projection speed of three times the speed of sound.

But when it was replaced with a large and heavy wolf-toothed club, it was only 140m/s.

This tripod could not only be used outside, but also inside the storage bag. By controlling the weapons and putting them into the tripod from the storage bag, one could easily launch a high-speed weapon with just a lift of the hand.

As long as the thinking speed was fast enough, these three thousand weapons could be shot out in just a minute!

Even Yang Ning couldn't react to such attack speed and density. Moreover, the projected weapons were all Peerless Grade Mortal Weapons, exceptionally sharp. Even if he activated the "Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body" technique, he could withstand at most one or two hundred, but it would be impossible to withstand one or two thousand!

"These disciples of the First Heaven Sect each have their own unique skills! Could it be that other disciples also have Spirit Weapons?" After carefully testing the function of this tripod, Yang Ning broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he took the initiative, otherwise he would be the one dead!

But when this tripod fell into Yang Ning's hands, it greatly enhanced his strength.

Because this tripod was also made of metal, Yang Ning could wind coils around it and turn it into the muzzle of a coil gun.

Combined with the tripod's inherent projection power, he could launch electromagnetic cannons in large quantities with minimal power consumption.

And these three thousand Peerless Grade Law Weapons were ready-made ammunition!

However, some of the Law Weapons had strange shapes, so they might not travel in a straight line after being launched, and they would need to be recast.

Since there were several dragons engraved on this tripod, it was more like a cannon in application. Therefore, Yang Ning named it the Dragon Sovereign Cannon, or simply Dragon Sovereign.

He cleaned up all traces of the battle, blew the air to disperse the strange smell produced by the burning of the Moon Gold Wheel, and then stood on the training ground, leisurely practicing his punches.

Before he even finished practicing his Tai Chi, another person appeared on the wall.

"Hey, you there!" The person who came was dressed in blue and looked mature, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

His eyes were bright, his Adam's apple prominent, and his voice particularly loud. He had the aura of a security guard.

In his hand, he held something resembling a trumpet. Yang Ning recognized it at a glance - it was also a Spirit Weapon, but he didn't know its purpose.

"First Heaven Sect's Daoist has a Spirit Weapon? No, it must be because Xue Xian's identity is too important. Those without a Spirit Weapon are not worthy of protecting her!" Yang Ning pondered in his heart and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Have you seen someone who looks like this?" The soldier's face changed, turning into the sinister young man from before, and then back again. "He said he wanted to greet the new neighbor, but he hasn't come back after so long!"

"I haven't seen him!" Yang Ning shook his head. "Did he go to the wrong place?"

"In such a small place, how could he go to the wrong place?" The big brother scratched his head. "It's really strange!"

"Well, try looking somewhere else!" Yang Ning smiled.

"Alright, by the way, little brother, what's your name?" The big brother asked. "We're neighbors now, let's be friends!"

"Mysterious Heaven Sect!" Yang Ning smiled. "And you, big brother?"

"Mysterious Heaven Sect, that's a pretty domineering name!" The big brother raised his thumb. "I'm Yang Shu, my name is a bit ordinary. By the way, do you know what this is?"

He raised the trumpet in his hand.

Yang Ning shook his head.

"This is a Spirit Weapon called the Wind Caller!"

Indeed, it was a trumpet!

Yang Ning blinked. "So, big brother, what's the use of this Spirit Weapon?"

"It can enhance the power of wind-based spells. Do you want to see it in action?" Yang Shu asked.

"I do!" Yang Ning nodded eagerly.

"Then let me demonstrate!" Yang Shu raised the trumpet and aimed it at Yang Ning. "Hoo!"

Several wind blades burst out from the trumpet and appeared in front of Yang Ning in the blink of an eye!

The speed of the wind was incredibly fast, and it was invisible to the naked eye. Under normal circumstances, Yang Ning would never have been able to react in time.

Unfortunately, Yang Ning was also skilled in wind control, and he had been on guard. He leaped backward, avoiding the attack of the wind blades. Then he spread his hands and smiled, "This isn't the way to treat a friend!"

"You're not a friend!" Yang Shu coldly shouted, "Cultivators don't get lost for no reason. I just didn't expect that you would take him down so quickly. That so-called God of the Sky's Arrow is nothing but trash!"

So that young man had such a domineering nickname?

It must have been earned through the Dragon Sovereign Cannon.

Without waiting for Yang Ning to reply, Yang Shu raised the trumpet again.

He didn't ask why Yang Ning wanted to kill someone. This was a trial, and killing didn't require a reason.

He didn't seek revenge for the evil young man. Just knowing that his neighbor was such a dangerous person was enough for him to take action.

"Hu!"

Yang Ning took a few steps back and then took out the Dragon Vessel, aiming it at Yang Shu.

Yang Shu sneered, "This thing isn't meant to be used like that!"

The Dragon Vessel was clearly meant to be stored in a storage bag, but this guy actually had it out in the open.

It was obvious that he had just obtained it and didn't know how to use it yet.

The power of the Dragon Vessel was strong, but its shortcomings were also obvious: the weapons it shot out moved in a straight line, even if there was some curvature, it wasn't significant.

By carefully observing the direction of the barrel, one could easily dodge it.

So the Dragon Vessel had to be fired from the storage bag to avoid this drawback.

But he wouldn't mention this problem. He would wait for Yang Ning to realize that the weapon was useless after firing it, and then he would point it out.

Mockery in battle is often not just for the sake of mockery, but to strike at the enemy's morale and mindset.

But then Yang Ning placed his hand on the Dragon Vessel, and then electricity flowed.

"Hmm?" Yang Shu was stunned. Was this how the Dragon Vessel cannon worked?

"Buzz!" A bright silver Mortal Weapon spear shot out, instantly piercing through Yang Shu's throat, and the surging kinetic energy carried by the spear tore his neck apart.

The next second, the sky lit up with an orange-red light that stretched for dozens of kilometers. This was the radiance emitted from the friction between the spear and the air, producing high-temperature radiation.

The orange light flashed and disappeared, leaving behind only a cloud of condensed steam.

"How... how is this possible!" In Yang Shu's wide-open eyes, there was nothing but confusion.

He knew his teammate's weapon too well, and as a result, he was completely unprepared for the Dragon Vessel cannon that had unleashed several times its original power!

But this shot also exposed Yang Ning's position to him because the spear that was shot out was not a Spirit Weapon and couldn't be controlled after flying out.

And the light that stretched for dozens of miles could be seen by everyone in the city!

"What is that?" Xue Xian and Han Di were in the center of the venue at the Talent Competition, and they saw the orange light flashing in the sky.

"What powerful spell is that?" Han Di asked.

"It should be a spell, but definitely not one that can be used by someone in the Physical Body Realm. Its power is comparable to a Heaven Level Divine Ability. Are there Qi Refining cultivators in the city?" Xue Xian frowned and asked.

"How is that possible? According to the Taiyi Agreement, Qi Refining cultivators are not allowed to appear within the trial range, except for deities and civilians!" Han Di asked.

"Then how do you explain the light just now? It can't possibly be emitted by a cultivator in the Physical Body Realm!" Xue Xian furrowed her brows. "And the location where the orange light appeared..."

Why did it look so much like the Tianzi No. 10 Garden where they lived?

"Let's go back!" Xue Xian said coldly.

"Yes!"

Both people on Hu Xin Island saw it, as did the other Physical Body Realm cultivators living in the garden.

But unlike Xue Xian, who was so bold and had such a powerful attack, it was clear that this was not something an ordinary person could launch. Who would dare to watch the excitement?

Many people were already thinking of checking out of the inn. With such a powerful person coming to the inn, who knew what his intentions were? Would he kill someone?

The initiator of the attack, however, arrived at Garden No. 10 with a trumpet in hand.

Xue Xian brought a total of eight people into the trial, with four protecting themselves and four going out to collect Purple Heart Stones.

Now, two of the four bodyguards have already been killed by Yang Ning, and one has followed Xue Xian to Hu Xin Island, leaving only one in the garden.

The sound of footsteps on the stone slabs was barely audible, but the voice in the room could still be heard: "So, did you find the person?"

Surprisingly, it was a female voice.

This was normal too. Xue Xian couldn't have all men around him.

"You should know whether or not we found the person, right?" Yang Ning smiled. "Weren't you just standing in the courtyard and saw the rainbow light just now?"

The formation of the Sheng Inn can shield the manifestation of spiritual energy, but it cannot shield the Cloud Mist Information Matrix because there is no shortage of water here.

Not only did Yang Ning know what the woman in the room had just done, but he also knew what she looked like, her figure, what clothes she was wearing, and what she did after entering the room.

While others were still practicing traditional cultivation, Yang Ning had already entered the information age.

"Who are you, and why are you attacking us!" The door of the room was finally opened, and a pitiful girl in a pink dress, without any makeup, with tears on her face, stepped out of the door.

She was genuinely scared, not pretending.

She had some strength, but nowhere near as powerful as the sinister young man and Yang Shu. How could she be a match for Yang Ning?

She could only think of using her own appearance to buy some time. The rainbow light just now was so obvious, Lord Xue Xian must have seen it!

As long as she could delay until they came back...

"I am from the Mysterious Heaven Sect!" Yang Ning said indifferently. "As for why I am attacking you, your question is quite silly. Do I need a reason to attack you?"

The girl shook her head in despair, as if, indeed, no reason was needed!

When they attacked others, they never needed a reason. It just so happened that this time, they became the ones being attacked.

"I don't have any Purple Heart Stones or Spirit Weapons on me!" The girl's voice became hoarse from fear. "I'm just a servant girl. Please let me go. I'll do anything as long as you let me go!"

As she spoke, her dress slipped off her shoulder, revealing her smooth, pink shoulder. The trembling caused by fear added a touch of charm.

"Sorry!" Yang Ning took out the Dragon Sovereign Cannon and aimed it at the girl.

The girl widened her eyes. "How dare you! Behind me is the First Heaven Sect! If you dare to kill me, my sect will find you no matter where you hide!"

"Boom!"

"Ali!" A scream came from behind Yang Ning. Xue Xian, who had just spoken gently and gracefully, now had a furious expression, clenching her fists and glaring at Yang Ning. "Who are you? How dare you?"

Yang Ning turned the cannon towards Xue Xian and said, "You have a total of 51 Purple Heart Stones on you. Subtracting the 9 that you brought with you, it means that you have killed a total of 42 people on this journey. If you dare to kill, why wouldn't I?"

With a mischievous smile on his face, Yang Ning shouted, "Now, rob them! Men stand on the left, women stand on the right, and those who are neither stand in the middle. Then hand over all the Purple Heart Stones and Spirit Weapons you have!"

Xue Xian looked at the Dragon Sovereign Cannon by Yang Ning's side, her face full of suspicion. She was very familiar with this Spirit Weapon. In order to join her team, the outer disciples had all displayed their Divine Abilities and wouldn't hide anything.

So she knew the power of this cannon.

But just now, she witnessed Yang Ning's shot at Ali.

That rainbow light was not fake, it was clearly the power of a Qi Refining cultivator using a Heaven Level Divine Ability!

So what exactly happened? Why did this Spirit Weapon become so powerful in someone else's hands?

Or is it that this person is not a Physical Body Realm cultivator at all, but a Qi Refining cultivator pretending to be one?

"How dare you violate the 'Taiyi Agreement'? You are going against the two most powerful sects today!" Xue Xian said sternly.

"The actions of those two sects against me are a matter for the future, but right now, you are being threatened by me!" Yang Ning patted the Italian cannon beside him. "Think carefully, is your life more important or the Purple Heart Stones?"

Xue Xian gritted her teeth fiercely and then turned her head to ask, "Can it be blocked?"

She brought Handi with her instead of someone else because Handi was the best at defense among the four bodyguards.

He had a Peerless Grade Spirit Weapon shield that was said to be impenetrable!

Of course, it was impenetrable at this stage.

"Yes!" Handi nodded heavily. If it was a Heaven Level Divine Ability used by a Qi Refining cultivator, he might still be afraid.

But if it was this cannon in front of him.

He had never lost in his private sparring sessions with the sinister young man!

Although he didn't know how the power of this Spirit Weapon had increased so much, as long as it was still a Spirit Weapon, it would definitely not break his shield!

"It seems that you are going to resist to the end!" Yang Ning saw Handi take out a shield that could block both of them and shook his head regretfully.

"You better think it through!" Seeing Yang Ning's attacking movement, Xue Xian said coldly, "I am Xue Xian from the First Heaven Sect, born with the Snow Main Body. If you retreat now, I can let bygones be bygones. But if you shoot, the situation will be irreparable!"

It seemed that she didn't trust Handi's shield very much either.

"The sect you belong to, your master, senior brothers, and junior brothers!"

"Your family!"

"The country you belong to!"

"They will all be destroyed because of your impulsive actions!"

Seeing Yang Ning start to frown and contemplate, Xue Xian thought she had convinced him and quickly struck while the iron was hot. "I promise you, after today, we will pretend that nothing happened, and the First Heaven Sect will absolutely not seek revenge against you!"

Of course, it was just empty talk. The malice in her heart couldn't help but leak out.

It was obvious that in an emotionally charged state, even a Ninth Layer cultivator would find it difficult to control their own spirit.

"As long as I leave, they will immediately summon powerful experts from the sect to kill me?" Yang Ning asked.

"How is that possible?" Xue Xian immediately widened her eyes. "Can he read minds?"

"I can't read minds!" Yang Ning continued shaking his head.

Xue Xian's heart trembled. What's going on? How does he know everything?

"Huh?" Xue Xian suddenly felt a slight tremor in her storage bag.

The Abundant Pearl!

It was a token from the Abundant River God, given to her by a high-ranking figure in the sect.

It was through this pearl that she contacted the Abundant River God, allowing her to mind her own business and eliminate all the talented individuals in the city who possessed the Purple Heart Stone during the Talent Conference at night.

And now, the pearl was vibrating, which meant that the Abundant River God's attention had turned back!

This was abnormal. According to reason, the Abundant River God should have turned his attention back tomorrow.

"That's right, because those two rainbow lights were too conspicuous. How could the local boss not notice?"

Now that his attention has turned back, he will definitely intervene when he sees that she is in danger!

After all, her status was equivalent to the future Saintess of the First Heaven Sect. If such a prominent figure were to die in the Abundant River God's territory...

It wouldn't be a question of whether or not there was an Abundant River God, but rather a question of whether or not there was an Abundant River and an Abundant City!

What fair trials, what no interference, only Physical Body Realm cultivators participating.

What the gods of the Ten Thousand Temples would not participate in.

You don't really believe it, do you?

Xue Xian's mouth curled up, and when she looked at Yang Ning's eyes, it was as if she was looking at a dead person!

"Aren't you arrogant?" Xue Xian instantly changed her tone and her eyes became brighter. She tilted her head and instantly became cocky. "Come and kill me, do you dare to make a move?"

She had already felt a clear aura enveloping her.

This was the divine power of the Abundant River God!

"What do I have to fear!" Seeing Xue Xian's cocky appearance, Yang Ning immediately became furious. "Others may fear you, but I don't! I'm not afraid to tell you, the killer is from the Myriad Saints Alliance, the Mysterious Heaven Sect!"

Xue Xian's face froze. Myriad Saints Alliance?

The next moment, a surging electric light exploded behind the two of them, accompanied by a bright rainbow light. Han Di's body was instantly severed!

This is the necessity of a tank. A shield can only defend one side and cannot defend against attacks from behind!

"Fengyu River God, you deserve to die!" Xue Xian immediately stopped in her tracks. With the power of the Fengyu River God, she could have protected both of them, but she clearly sensed that the power of the Fengyu River God had withdrawn from Handi!

The Fengyu River God himself was also in a difficult position. He couldn't afford to provoke the First Heaven Sect, let alone the Myriad Saints Alliance.

"Don't involve me in your fight, big shots!"

Protecting the two of them would offend the Myriad Saints Alliance, but not protecting them would offend the First Heaven Sect.

He could only retract a portion of his Spirit Partitioning power. Although Handi was also a genius of the First Heaven Sect, he didn't have anyone backing him up, so if he died, he died.

As long as Xue Xian didn't die, he could still obtain forgiveness from the First Heaven Sect by offering some resources.

"Hmph, I thought you had some confidence, turns out you're just calling for help!" Yang Ning sneered, "But when it comes to backing, who is inferior to whom?"

"And Fengyu River God, are you sure you want to stop me?"

The Fengyu River God remained silent for a long time before transmitting his voice from afar, "Xue Xian must not die."

"You say she won't die, so she won't die. Who do you think you are?" Yang Ning asked sternly, "And I haven't even mentioned the fact that you helped Xue Xian take shortcuts. I will report it to the sect, and then the people from the Extreme Eternal Sect will come and reason with you!"

A cultivator at the Physical Body Realm pointed at the deity's nose and cursed, but the Fengyu River God didn't dare to retort.

After all, everyone in the world knew that people from the Myriad Saints Alliance were rough, wild, and impolite.

Moreover, this time they were in the right.

He could only say, "I am willing to offer a piece of Divine Crystal, please spare me, Mysterious Heaven Sect!"

"Divine Crystal, what is that? I've never heard of it!" Yang Ning said impatiently.

The Fengyu River God explained helplessly, "The Divine Crystal is a crystal formed by my pure divine power. It contains pure spiritual energy of the Middle Grade and can be absorbed without refining. If you cultivate a water-based Divine Ability, it can greatly save you time. If you don't need it, you can also sell it to others!"

"Oh, one piece is not enough, make it ten!"

The Fengyu River God was immediately infuriated, "The Divine Crystal is not easy to form. It takes me a hundred years to condense one!"

"Then I will report it to the sect and let the people from the Extreme Eternal Sect reason with you?"

The Fengyu River God helplessly said, "Two pieces!"

"Nine pieces!"

"Three pieces!"

After negotiations, Yang Ning obtained five pieces of Divine Crystal.

However, he still had to wait for someone to deliver them. He hadn't received them yet.

"Now can you let Xue Xian go?" the Fengyu River God asked.

"Why should I let her go?" Yang Ning asked.

"You have accepted the Divine Crystal!" the Fengyu River God said.

"That's because you helped Xue Xian take shortcuts. You should receive punishment for that!" Yang Ning said, "Xue Xian's matter is a separate price!"

The Fengyu River God thought for a moment and realized that it seemed to make sense.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Purple Heart Stone, all of them!" Yang Ning said.

"Impossible!" Xue Xian shouted angrily.

It was related to the Supreme Dao Technique. How could it be given away so easily?

"Then you can die!" Yang Ning said.

"Fengyu River God, kill him!" Xue Xian screamed.

At this point, she had completely lost her initial calm and indifferent demeanor.

"Xue Xian, I can't lay a hand on him!" the Fengyu River God said.

"I don't care, you must kill him for me!" Xue Xian said sternly, "I am the Snow Jade Glass Body, the natural Snow Master. If you don't obey my command today, aren't you afraid that when I advance to the Spirit Law Realm in the future, I will come back for revenge?"

The Fengyu River God was a little annoyed. Why do I have such good eyesight? Why did I have to see those two beams of light?

And you are the future Saintess of the First Heaven Sect. Can't you be reasonable?

Moreover, you are the natural Snow Master, but this person from the Mysterious Heaven Sect can unleash such a powerful attack with just the Physical Body Realm. Maybe he is also a specially cultivated talent of the Myriad Saints Alliance, and his status in the Myriad Saints Alliance may not be lower than yours.

I'm afraid of you in the future, but aren't you afraid of him in the future?

"Quick, hurry up, don't force me to scold you!" Xue Xian continued to scream.

The Fengyu River God realized that this person from the Mysterious Heaven Sect was much cuter than the Snow Maiden.

Why did I accept the gift from the First Heaven Sect? If I hadn't accepted the gift, I wouldn't have needed to take shortcuts, wouldn't have needed to know Xue Xian, and wouldn't have needed to get involved in this troublesome matter.

After much thought, the Fengyu River God suddenly screamed, "Who is it!"

Then there was a violent shaking, and Yang Ning looked up to see that the statue of the Fengyu River God standing in the center of the city had exploded!

"So powerful, who are you!" the Fengyu River God exclaimed in shock and anger, and the wide river next to him also roared in response.

"Is there an enemy coming?" Yang Ning looked confused.

I've scanned with the Cloud Mist Information Matrix, and I've scanned with my spiritual manifestation. Why can't I see anything at all?

Or is the person who came extremely powerful and can launch attacks from a place he can't see?

Looking at Xue Xian on the opposite side, she also looked confused, not knowing what had happened!

"Wuwah!" The Fengyu River God screamed in agony, "Not a match, I have to retreat for now, goodbye!"
