Chapter 126： Only one leaves alive

Chapter 126 Only one left alive

Even though he had just come down from the big cave, Chu Ning still cautiously let the puppet bird go to the cave to check it out first.

I was sure that the cave was the same as when I left before, and there were not many abnormalities.

Chuning then slowly walked out of the big cave.

Then, Chu Ning released Ling Xiaobai from the spirit beast bag.

When he went outside, he still counted on the other party to lead the way.

Ling Xiaobai had just released it. He turned his little head sideways and made no sound, but immediately sent a message to Chu Ning:

“Hey, there are other monks here.”

Chuning was startled when he heard this, and then his face became serious.

He undoubtedly still believed in Ling Xiaobai’s keen sense of smell.

At first, Ling Xiaobai was able to find the Diling Spring water along the road with the little aura left on Old Man Sun.

After Chu Ning used the transfiguration spell to change his appearance, Ling Xiaobai was able to recognize him immediately.

Chu Ning suspected that the other party relied on his sensitive sense of smell to sense the breath.

At this time, Ling Xiaobai actually said that someone had been here, so there was nothing wrong with that.

The consciousness was instantly released, and Chu Ning defended vigilantly while exploring carefully.

However, under Chu Ning's inspection, there was no one in the cave.

Chun Ning walked carefully towards the entrance of the cave, then extended his consciousness to explore outside the entrance of the cave.

"Um?"

Just when Chu Ning's consciousness detected that the outside of the cave was about to reach the limit of fifty feet, a figure appeared within the scope of his consciousness.

“Refining Qi to perfection?”

Feeling the aura on the other party's body, Chu Ning's face changed slightly.

This is the first time he has entered the spiritual realm and encountered a being who has perfected Qi refining.

This undoubtedly made him feel a little strange. He had seen three or four people in the sect's dojo before who had reached the perfection level of Qi Refining.

Those people all looked like they had just entered the realm of Qi Refining Consummation.

But it’s not this face.

Moreover, the aura on this person's body is obviously not one that has just entered the perfection state of Qi training.

Chu Ning was slightly relieved at this time. If his guess was not wrong, this person should have been in the spiritual realm before.

That should at least be basically certain that this is not a member of the Yin Demon Sect.

As long as he is a member of the Qingxi Sect, it is better to say it.

After thinking about it, Chu Ning directly drove the puppet bird to fly out, and then pretended to fly around casually.

Then it stopped not far from the head of the handsome young man.

Chun Ning didn’t want to go out and cause any misunderstandings, so he might as well let the other party show up.

The handsome young man also immediately discovered the existence of the puppet bird, his face changed slightly, and then he returned to normal and walked out from behind the boulder.

“Are you a junior fellow apprentice in the sect?”

The handsome young man had a gentle smile on his face and asked loudly toward the cave.

Chun Ning's figure also walked out slowly at this moment. After seeing the handsome young man, he gave a slight bow.

“I’ve met senior brother.”

The handsome young man saw a strange color in Chu Ning's eyes when he saw Chu Ning's cultivation at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

“Are you the new junior brother? What’s your name?”

Hearing the words of this handsome young man, Chu Ning confirmed his previous judgment, nodded and said:

“Li Qun from the Foreign Affairs Hall, I met my senior brother.”

“Li Qun of Foreign Affairs Hall.” The handsome young man muttered, looking directly at Chu Ning.

“Did you pick the twin flame-wood fruits in this cave?”

After hearing this, Chu Ning understood the other party's intention and pondered for a moment, but did not answer immediately.

Of course he wanted to deny it, but he couldn't seem to find a good excuse.

If the other party wants it, Chu Ning still has to figure out how much to give.

As for the Fire Spirit Crystal, it is naturally impossible to give it.

“At the seventh level of Qi refining, I can kill the red fire two-headed scorpion, which is pretty good.”

The handsome young man had a smile on his face, but the next moment, he suddenly raised his hand, and a pillar of fire flew towards Chu Ning.

Soon, his voice also sounded.

“But you can go die!”

When Chu Ning saw this, he had been on guard for a long time and immediately activated several defensive talismans.

“呲呲!”

After a few sounds, the defensive shields in front of Chu Ning suddenly burst apart.

Although Chu Ning had just activated the primary high-grade defense talisman, his face became serious at this moment.

This person's attack power is very strong.

Chun Ning actually knew very well that this person just made a casual test attack, but even so, the feeling given to Chu Ning was far beyond the ordinary ninth level of Qi Refining.

This is no longer just something that can be achieved in the ordinary realm of Qi Refining and Perfection.

“Is this person about to build a foundation?”

With these thoughts flashing through my mind, I saw that this handsome young man did not attack immediately, but looked at me with a sneer on his face.

Chuning asked in a deep voice:

“Senior brother, what does this mean? Why don’t you attack indiscriminately?”

The handsome young man chuckled lightly when he heard Chu Ning's words.

“As a dying person, it’s okay to tell you so that you can understand.”

"You have just entered the spiritual realm, and you probably haven't reached the place where the formation is set up yet. Naturally, you don't know that if you happen to get the spiritual charm when you are driving the formation, you can cleanse your marrow, replace your bones, and improve your talents, right?"

“Of course, only a few people can have such luck. Most of the disciples will only be hit and explode to death when the aura of the spiritual species breaks out.

And I, Shang Rui, am one of those very lucky people. "

The handsome young man who calls himself Shang Rui has a proud smile on his face at the moment.

“The spiritual roots of wood, fire, and earth enter the inner gate, and are arranged to enter the spiritual realm when the energy refining is completed.

When I was driving the formation, I was so lucky to receive a trace of aura from the spiritual seed.

After I refined this aura, in less than a month, I was only one step away from building the foundation. "

“According to the regulations of the sect, once you obtain the aura of the spiritual seed, you can no longer stay in the spiritual realm, because this will affect the sect’s ability to obtain the spiritual seed.”

Shang Rui's eyes became fiery at this moment, looking directly at the cave behind Chu Ning, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

“However, I just happened to learn from other junior disciples that there are actually flame-wood twin fruits here.

If I can use this fruit to help me, I won’t even need to take the foundation-building pill, I can directly build the foundation successfully, and my future achievements will be no worse than those of those with spiritual roots!

In order to get these spiritual fruits, I waited until you entered and the direction compass became useful again before I found this place, but I didn’t expect that you would get there first. "

Chun Ning looked at Shang Rui, whose expression was constantly changing, and continued to say in a deep voice:

“Senior Brother, since you just want the Flame Wood Twin Fruit, just ask me for it, why bother to kill again.”

"Ah!"

Shang Rui laughed, shook his head and said:

“You don’t understand the importance of this spiritual seed to the sect. It is a treasure of heaven and earth that can help the Golden Core monks enter the Nascent Soul stage.

In front of this treasure, my foundation building is just an insignificant thing.

If the sect master knows that I have gained the spiritual energy and am still staying in this spiritual realm, and if something happens to happen in the middle of the journey, then I..."

“So you want to kill people and silence them?” Chu Ning’s heart sank.

Shang Rui nodded slowly, his smile no longer the same as before, and his eyes looking at Chu Ning became cold and stern.

“The junior brother who provided me with the information, I really tried my best to get rid of him without being discovered by others.

Do you think I would let you leave alive? "

Hearing Shang Rui's words, Chu Ning sighed slightly.

“So only one of the two of us can make it out alive, so we have no choice, right?”

As soon as Shang Rui heard this, a smile appeared on his face again, but this smile was full of sarcasm.

“As a monk at the seventh level of Qi refining, don’t you find it ridiculous to say this?”

"I don't think so!" Chu Ning said, raising his hand casually, and there was already a long knife in his hand.

At the same time, the long knife struck down, and a green light shot towards Shang Rui.

“Cangmu Sword Technique?”

Shang Rui chuckled lightly, raised his hand casually, and actually issued the same sword technique.

Two sword techniques collided in the air. Even though Chu Ning used a magic weapon to perform the technique, the green light dissipated directly with Shang Rui's casual blow.

“Ordinary spell attacks are completely ineffective against the opponent.”

Chun Ning sighed secretly, feeling for the first time the power of the Qi Refining Perfection approaching the Foundation Establishment Monk.

He still has some mid-level mid-level talismans on him, but he doesn't want to waste them too much at this time.

After all, the opponent may also have other means. Rather than spending so much money, it is better to fight quickly.

Chun Ning put away her long sword, and there was already a dark shield in her hand.

Thunder Step!

At the same time, Chu Ning's figure flashed and ran directly towards Shang Rui.

Shang Rui was a little surprised at this moment, but he seemed to have guessed something.

The figure flashed, and Shang Rui avoided it. At the same time, a layer of flame shield appeared on the surface of his body.

At the same time, with a raised hand, fireballs filled the sky and rushed towards Chu Ning.

“呲呲!”

However, these fireballs were directly blocked just a foot away from Chu Ning's body.

Chun Ning was already activating the defensive talisman.

At the same time, Chu Ning's speed did not slow down and he rushed directly to Shang Rui.   Blazing Bracelet! Tiangang Fist!

Shang Rui seemed a little surprised that Chu Ning came so quickly.

However, when he saw Chu Ning's right fist attacking.

There was no trace of panic on his face, but instead the look of sarcasm became stronger.

The next moment, Chu Ning's flaming right fist hit the fiery red mana shield.

However, what surprised him slightly was that the flame attack from his blazing bracelet did not bring any attack effect to Shang Rui's mana shield.

On the contrary, after the blazing flames came into contact with the fiery red shield, they were directly absorbed.

“Playing with fire in front of me?”

At the same time, Shang Rui's playful voice sounded.

"boom!"

Chu Ning didn't care. The second half of Tiangang Fist's attack still hit the red defensive shield.

Suddenly, the red defensive shield trembled, as if it might break at any time.

This time, Shang Rui was a little surprised.

“Physical training?”

Shang Rui seemed to have guessed something at this moment. A flame condensed in his right hand, which was directly pressing down on Chu Ning who was right in front of him.

But at this moment, Chu Ning was advancing instead of retreating, and his dark shield directly blocked the flames.

His right hand struck out like lightning again, but this time, there was no blazing bracelet.

“Chi!” “Chi!”

Successive bursts of flames sounded.

There was the sound of Shang Rui's flame shield breaking, and the sound of his flames hitting the dark shield.

At the same time, Chu Ning's body rushed forward.

The dark shield held in his left hand was directly accompanied by the inertia of the forward thrust, and hit Shang Rui's body hard.

This collision caused Shang Rui to fly backwards.

At the same time, after losing the resistance of the defensive shield, the huge impact brought by the shield also made Shang Rui feel a sharp pain in his body.

“Damn it!”

Shang Rui, who had stabilized his body, could only feel the surge of energy, blood and mana in his body. He was actually injured by this collision.

This undoubtedly made Shang Rui's face change drastically, as he originally thought he could handle Chu Ning easily and kept his calm attitude all the time.

"go to hell!"

Shang Rui looked at Chu Ning, who was rushing towards him again. He was so angry that he seemed to have completely lost his patience.

With a flick of his hand, there was a spear in his hand.

The next moment, the spear flashed with fire, and a strong fire spiritual power filled the surrounding area.

“It’s your honor to die under this top-notch magical weapon, the Fire Phoenix Feather Spear!”

With the sound, Shang Rui struck hard at Chu Ning.

Suddenly a sheet of flames shot towards Chu Ning.

“Top magical weapon?”

Feeling the power of the spear's attack, Chu Ning's heart trembled.

Without any hesitation, he immediately activated an intermediate-level defense talisman.

Shang Rui was no longer careless at this time. While waving the flames, he was already running towards him with a gun.

That speed was no less than Chu Ning's Thunder Step, and there were faint signs of breaking through the limitations of the spiritual realm and flying up.

However, from the looks of it, it was more like the Fire Phoenix Feather Spear brought him here.

The Fire Phoenix Feather Spear faintly made a phoenix cry.

As the people were running, Shang Rui also saw the flames he had cast before hitting Chu Ning's protective shield.

And the protective shield only made a slight ripple, but was not damaged at all.

“Intermediate mid-level defense talisman?”

Shang Duan was surprised that Chu Ning had so many methods, and flashed a sneer. The spear was mixed with flames and hit the white shield hard.

Suddenly, this mid-level defensive talisman broke open with one blow.

“Is this the power of a top-level magic weapon?”

Chun Ning couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this scene.

This mid-level defensive talisman, which can defend against spell attacks by foundation-building monks, was actually unable to withstand this shot.

Hunted in his heart, Chu Ning did not hesitate in his actions. The surge of mana was directly injected into the earth spirit bracelet on his left hand.

In an instant, an earthy yellow mana shield appeared outside his body.

Shang Rui's spear, which he originally thought could pass through his body, hit the yellow magic shield, but was blocked.

"How can it be?"

Shang Rui looked at this scene with a look of astonishment on his face.

Although this blow was blocked by an intermediate-level defensive talisman, it was definitely not something that an ordinary defensive magic weapon could block.

“Hmph!” With a slight hum, Shang Rui poured all his mana into the spear.

Chuning's endless methods made him subconsciously feel a sense of fear.

He no longer cares about the opponent's defense. As long as his attacks continue, it will be a matter of time before he is defeated.

But at the same time, Shang Rui suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and a creepy feeling surged up for no reason.

This feeling often appeared when he faced great danger before.

Shang Rui looked at Chu Ning subconsciously, and then he saw a black knife in Chu Ning's hand.

"This is…"

Before Shang Rui could see clearly, he discovered that the black knife turned into a black light and shot towards him.

In an instant, a powerful force came over.

"not good!"

Shang Rui's expression suddenly changed, and his spear danced rapidly, forming a wall of fire in front of him.

At the same time, mana surged in the body, and the whole body was enveloped in flames.

It was the protective spell that had just blocked Chu Ning's Blazing Bracelet and Tiangang Fist.

Shang Rui's reaction speed is indeed not slow, and the speed of this jet-black knife is not fast either. In a short time, he was able to set up two layers of defense.

However, all these defenses did not seem to hinder the black light.

The black light penetrated the two layers of fire curtains, and then, in Shang Rui's horrified eyes, it passed directly through his neck.

The next moment, all the flames on the sect's genius disappeared, and he fell to the ground with eyes wide open and a look of disbelief on his face.

at the same time.

“Bang!”

The spear, no longer wrapped in flames, fell to the ground.

“So strong!”

Chuning looked at Shang Rui, who was obviously dead, and then at the black knife stuck on the ground behind him, his eyes flashing.

The defense that I just couldn't break through with the Blazing Flame Bracelet and the Tiangang Fist turned out to have no defense ability in front of this black knife.

No, even the fire curtain of this spear must be added.

Although this gun looks more like an offensive weapon, since Shang Rui uses it in this way, it must be that this fire screen also has a certain degree of defense.

But with such a two-layer defense, the black knife broke through it with no effort at all.

“Tsk, the magic weapon is incomplete.”

Chun Ning walked to the black knife and picked it up.

The jet-black knife that had just taken away half of his mana lost its aura again.

Chun Ning had a little bit of mana in his hand, but it was impossible to inject it unless something unexpected happened.

Putting it back into the storage bag, Chu Ning also let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s a pity that the use of this incomplete magic weapon is limited, and it consumes too much mana. Otherwise, I don’t have to worry at all when facing opponents below the foundation building stage.

Perhaps monks in the foundation building stage may not be able to completely resist this incomplete magic weapon. "

With this thought in mind, Chu Ning chuckled and shook his head.

"It's already very good. If it weren't for this thing, it would have taken a lot of effort to kill Shang Rui.

The few intermediate-level talismans in my pocket will be consumed at a cost. "

Thinking like this, Chu Ning turned his head and looked at Shang Rui's body, his expression becoming more solemn.

He really did not expect that a disciple with outstanding talents and dual spiritual roots would be so difficult to deal with after reaching the state of perfect Qi refining.

However, what Shang Rui said to him just now gave Chu Ning a lot of news.

For example, the opponent said that he had obtained the aura of the spiritual seed and was able to rapidly increase his strength in a short period of time.

And that spiritual seed is actually effective from the Golden Elixir stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

After obtaining the aura of the spiritual seed, you must immediately leave the spiritual realm.

This time, Chu Ning's thinking was completely opened up.

He was still worried before, after Zongli arranged for him and others to enter the spiritual realm, under what circumstances would he and others be able to leave.

At this time, Chu Ning knew at least one of the methods, which was to obtain the aura of the spiritual seeds inside.

While these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chu Ning did not stop.

His hand directly picked up the top-notch magic weapon next to Shang Rui's body.
