Chapter 0996: The Arrogant Dao Sculpting Cultivator
Ning Chengâs spiritual consciousness immediately swept over, found a weak shielding restriction blocking its path, and tore through it without hesitation. This was the Burial Shadow Blue Sands, not someoneâs private property. Therefore, Ning Cheng wasnât even half a point embarrassed while breaking the restriction.
Breaking open the restriction, Ning Cheng saw more than a dozen cultivators in the distance, with cultivations ranging from Dao Sculpting to Dao Transformation.
Ning Cheng quickly located Liu Fanglin but found an ice spike nailed into her chest. It forced her to lay paralysed on the ground with a harrowing expression on her face.
Ning Chengâs spiritual consciousness then focussed on the ice spike and immediately understood why Liu Fanglin had such a bitter expression. If he recalled correctly, the spike was also known as the Spirit Soul Ice Spike. This ice spike was the manifestation of a spirit technique of the same name and affected oneâs spirit soul; it produced a soul tearing pain in the victim once struck. Anyone hit with the Spirit Soul Ice Spike wouldnât be able to bear that kind of soul-tearing pain unless one specialises in soul defence.
Not far from Liu Fanglin, the Battle Dragon Cauldron lay suspended over Hou Fuâs head. However, his demeanour looked sluggish, almost to the point of collapse. One glance was enough to see that he also suffered some severe injuries.
Ning Cheng also noticed another familiar person, the Dao Transformation Holy Emperor, who escaped from his Seven Bridges.
As for the dozen or so people in the distance, they surrounded a forbidden restriction. However, as the restriction wasnât broken, Ning Chengâs spiritual consciousness landed on the forbidden restriction and saw what lay behind it, a Loyal Heart Spirit Zoysia Tree. But more importantly, this tree had around 50-60 Loyal Heart Zoysias growing on it.
The Loyal Heart Spirit Zoysia Tree wasnât only an extremely rare Dao Transformation Dao Fruit Tree; its fruit was also equally precious as it didnât need to be refined into a pill for consumption. In fact, the dao fruit had a much stronger healing effect than any healing-type Dao Transformation Dao Pill and can be easily consumed by Dao Transformation Holy Emperor or below without any side effects.
Ning Cheng also noticed a dragon-eye sized pill in the treeâs centre. This pill wasnât artificially refined but rather a naturally formed pill. It even exuded a natural alchemic dao charm, which could help improve an alchemistâs alchemic dao on consumption.
When Ning Cheng saw this dao fruit tree, his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Cloud flashed. In an instant, he appeared right outside the restriction, which he then immediately broke with a flick of his wrist.
The group was still discussing the division of the dao fruits when they saw Ning Cheng tearing open the restriction. Noticing that Ning Cheng was only a Dao Sculpting Holy Emperor, they immediately became angry.
A mere Dao Sculpting Holy Emperor had dared to rip apart their restrictions; it was simply looking for death.
When the Dao Transformation Holy Emperor, who escaped from Ning Chengâs Seven Bridges, saw Ning Cheng coming over, his face changed slightly. However, he lowered his head and subconsciously took two steps back.
Noticing Ning Cheng come over, the severely injured Liu Fanglin and Hou Fuâs faces immediately showed joy.
But despite Ning Chengâs low cultivation level and tearing apart the Dao Transformation expertsâ restriction, none stood up to speak despite feeling angry.
Among the people here, everyone here was a sly old fox. Even if the sky collapsed, it was the tallest man who had to take the brunt. Since someone had arranged the restriction here, it was only natural that this person would come out to stop him. If these fellows could get an extra dao fruit, they would have already pillaged the site long ago. But since they couldnât get any advantage against that person, they also didnât want to stick their heads in for no reason.
âThis dao friend sure is arrogant to directly rip apart the restriction arranged by this emperor. Could it be that youâre relying on your powerful cultivation?â A Dao Transformation Holy Emperor finally stepped forward and stood in front of Ning Cheng while speaking coldly.
He didnât make any immediate moves against Ning Cheng. Anyone who dared to enter the Burial Shadow Blue Sands would have at least a few tricks up their sleeves. Although Ning Chengâs cultivation wasnât up to the mark to threaten them, Ning Cheng might have had a strong background. Maybe he came from one of the major sects or behemoth clans.
If they were alone, he would have killed Ning Cheng immediately. That way, no one would know about it. But with so many people here, it wouldnât be possible unless he could silence them all.
Ning Cheng only glanced at this Dao Transformation Holy Emperor and found that he was only an early-stage Dao Transformation cultivator, much weaker than the mid-stage Dao Transformation cultivator he had killed earlier.
âMaybe Iâm arrogant and rely on my powerful cultivation, or maybe not. But since my friends have been injured, I need to ask a few questions about it.â Ning Cheng finished speaking and pointed at the Dao Transformation Holy Emperor, who had escaped from his Seven Bridges. âYou, tell me who injured my friends?â
Ning Cheng didnât necessarily want to take revenge for Liu Fanglin and Hou Fu. He was a latecomer to this place, but since he wanted a share of these dao fruits, he naturally had to find an excuse first.
The surrounding dozen or so holy emperors stood there in stunned silence. Apart from the severely injured Liu Fanglin and Hou Fu, there were six Dao Transformation Holy Emperors and five Dao Raising Holy Emperors. This was not counting the four Dao Sculpting Holy Emperors, the same level as Ning Cheng.
Just who was this fellow? To dare point to a Dao Transformation Holy Emperor and say, âYou, tell me who injured my friends?â
How arrogant did one have to be to dare say such a thing?
Even the Dao Transformation Holy Emperor, who said Ning Cheng was arrogant with his words, didnât speak for a while. He wanted to see how the Dao Transformation Holy Emperor, singled out by Ning Cheng, would handle this matter. If this Dao Transformation Holy Emperor could directly kill Ning Cheng, that would be the best.
The Dao Transformation Holy Emperor, as pointed out by Ning Cheng, felt truly afraid of Ning Cheng. But as a Dao Transformation expert, he naturally couldnât show too much weakness in front of everyone. Therefore, when Ning Cheng pointed at him, he could only give a cold snort and said, âHow would this emperor know? That has never been this emperorâs doing.â
Everyone looked at this Dao Transformation Holy Emperor in total confusion. Donât look at how he said those words; everyone could sense a particular caution in the manâs tone. Therefore, the crowd no longer treated Ning Cheng as a mere Dao Sculpting Holy Emperor. This Dao Transformation Holy Emperor would have directly killed Ning Cheng. He definitely wouldnât say that âit had nothing to do with this emperorâ if Ning Cheng was merely an ordinary Dao Sculpting Holy Emperor.
Ning Cheng secretly sighed. He naturally had no inclination to ask who hurt Liu Fanglin and Hou Fu. If he genuinely wanted to inquire into this matter, he would have instead directly asked Liu Fanglin and Hou Fu.
He just wanted to find an excuse to finish this Dao Transformation Holy Emperor. Although his First Bridge of the Seven Bridges Spirit Technique had finally taken form, his cultivation, unfortunately, wasnât enough to sustain it. He had no choice but to let this Dao Transformation Holy Emperor escape back then. After all, he didnât want to overexpose the Severn Bridge, which meant he should silence all potential leaks.
This Dao Transformation Holy Emperor seemed to have understood what Ning Cheng thought and took the initiative to answer Ning Chengâs questions. That way, Ning Cheng couldnât find an excuse to deal with him, at least not for a while.
Ning Cheng didnât continue to look for excuses. After all, Liu Fanglin and Hou Fu knew about the Seven Bridges. These two were, at best, casual acquaintances to him and wouldnât necessarily keep his secrets. But more importantly, even if he wanted to keep the Seven Bridges secret, he couldnât convince himself to kill Liu Fanglin and Hou Fu.
If it got exposed, then it got exposed. As a Dao Sculpting Holy Emperor, how could he be afraid of exposing his spirit technique?
Ning Cheng decided to turn around. But when he was about to reach Liu Fanglin to remove the ice spike, a chilly voice emerged behind him.
âThose two were injured by this emperor. What are you going to do about it?â
âWhat canât I do.......â Ning Cheng finished speaking and took out a pill.
âTake the pill and help me kill this guy.â Ning Chengâs pill was for Hou Fu. With the help of his dao pill, Hou Fu would recover much faster.
When Hou Fu heard Ning Chengâs words, he didnât even think about it and swallowed the pill directly. He believed that Ning Cheng wouldnât harm him. If Ning Cheng truly wanted to kill him, he could have done so on the Seven Bridges instead of waiting for this moment.
That Dao Transformation Holy Emperor sneered. Even if Hou Fu took a top-tier healing pill, it would take him a few days to recover.
He didnât even wait for Ning Cheng to speak and rushed forwards while taking out a massive pair of shears. Killing intent erupted from it and swept towards Ning Cheng. It even ignored the space between them and reached Ning Cheng in the blink of an eye.
The surrounding holy emperors quickly put up defensive restrictions and layers around them to protect themselves against that majestic killing intent.
Ning Chengâs hand opened, and a spear materialised, but he didnât use the Seven Bridges Spirit Technique this time. Although he had a few ways to finish off this early-stage Dao Transformation Holy Emperor, it would cost too much. Once he used any of them, he would immediately fall into a dangerous predicament.
Compared to the Dao Transformation Holy Emperor, he still had some distance. Whether it was the Seven Bridges or the 5-Coloured Star Splitting Arrow, they were powerful ace cards with significant losses.
Thatâs why Ning Cheng needed Hou Fuâs help.
A Dao Transformation Dao Pill? The moment the pill entered his mouth, Hou Fu almost let out a shocked voice. He was also an alchemist, so he naturally knew of such medicines. Yet, Ning Cheng actually took out and gave him such a precious healing-type Dao Transformation Dao Pill. Just what was Ning Chengâs background? This healing-type dao pill even contained a strange law aura, which healed Hou Fuâs injuries in almost an instant.
At this moment, Ning Chengâs long spear shot out spear patterns after spear patterns, which directly wrapped around the large shearsâ surging killing intent and the Dao Transformation Holy Emperor. However, Ning Chengâs spear patterns gradually weakened. At the same time, the killing intent from the shearâs kept growing more substantial and more majestic.
Everyone could see that Ning Cheng was at an absolute disadvantage. Once the majestic killing intent from the shears completely extinguished Ning Chengâs spear patterns, Ning Cheng would have no choice but wait for death. Moreover, everyone here knew that Wei Jingbing had more methods than those shears.
The shears were just a test, despite the majestic power behind them. If this arrogant Dao Sculpting Holy Emperor couldnât even block it, he definitely wouldnât be able to contend against Wei Jingbingâs full strength strike.
Some of the holy emperors felt a bit speechless. They initially thought that this Dao Sculpting Holy Emperor was a hidden expert or came from a strong background, mainly because of how he acted. But the reality was far from what they had imagined. Indeed, Ning Chengâs ability to block a strike from a Dao Transformation Holy Emperor might be impressive. Still, it only put him above ordinary Dao Sculpting Holy Emperors. It wasnât enough for him to act so arrogantly in this place.
Only that Dao Transformation Holy Emperor who escaped from Ning Chengâs Seven Bridges Spirit Technique sneered in his heart. He didnât want to be trapped in Ning Chengâs Seven Bridges again. After all, Ning Cheng hadnât even used a part of his strength, let alone go all out. Therefore, he decided to flee this place if Ning Cheng used the Seven Bridges again.
âNo wonder you dare to come here and be arrogant. Youâre indeed stronger than other Dao Sculpting cultivators. But if thatâs all, let me help you enter reincarnation.......â The Dao Transformation Holy Emperor gained a âgoodâ understanding of Ning Chengâs strength from that clash. He also âunderstoodâ that Ning Cheng couldnât win against him.
His shearsâ momentum suddenly surged without reservation, and its majestic aura quickly suppressed Ning Chengâs spear patterns. A massive ice spike suddenly appeared amid the surging momentum; he wanted to use the same means to deal with Ning Cheng that he used in dealing with Liu Fanglin. That is, nailing Ning Cheng with the ice spike.
But at that moment, Hou Fuâs Battle Dragon Cauldron suddenly came crashing down. No matter how strong Wei Jingbing was, he couldnât dare ignore an attack from another Dao Transformation Holy Emperor and focus on killing Ning Cheng.
Even though he wasnât the one who injured Hou Fu, he had seen how Hou Fu ended up with the injuries with his own eyes. Therefore, when Hou Fu suddenly attacked him, he couldnât help but feel shocked at how fast Hou Fuâs wounds had healed.
