Chapter 346 If You Don’t Show Off, You’ll Die

Doujian Peak.

It's overcrowded.

After such a period of preparation, nearly a thousand Nascent Soul cultivators arrived at Wuliang Mountain and appeared on the Doujian Peak.

Except for a few who were in seclusion and did not show up, all the strong men on the Yuanlong list came.

Chu Ning flew his sword and landed under the sword fighting stage.

The circular sword-fighting arena is hundreds of feet wide and has many runes engraved around it. These runes can block the energy on the arena from being released and also make it convenient for others to watch the fight.

"He is Chu Ning?"

"He is quite handsome, but a little too arrogant."

"The Yuanlong Ranking is full of rabble, how dare you say that."

With the appearance of Chu Ning, many cultivators at the scene began to discuss, and most of them looked at Chu Ning with unfriendly eyes.

Except for the disciples from Wuliang Sword Mountain, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators who came here were from the Demon-Slaying Realm, with only a few coming from other outside realms.

These people originally supported Jiang Zuo, and coupled with some of Chu Ning's arrogant remarks that had been circulating in the past few days, Chu Ning's popularity among the public had dropped to the lowest point.

Chu Ning glanced at the entire audience and stood quietly where he was.

At this time, even Zhao Qin had distanced himself from him.

I'm afraid I've become a public enemy now.

I have paid too much to earn spirit crystals.

Opposite Chu Ning, Jiang Zuo stood there, and on the other side were nine people, seven men and two women, the other nine of the top ten on the Yuanlong list.

Swoosh! A middle-aged man landed on the sword fighting stage.

The middle-aged man's divine aura spread, and the scene instantly became quiet. He was an elder of Wuliangjian Mountain.

"This time, Chu Ning, a disciple of Danshan Sect, wants to challenge Jiang Zuo, a disciple of our sect. However, according to the rules of the Yuanlong Ranking, if you want to challenge the first place, you must first become the second place."

The middle-aged man didn't hesitate, looking at Chu Ning, and asked simply and rudely: "Chu Ning, if you accept, go on stage now to challenge the tenth place on the Yuanlong Ranking."

Chu Ning smiled slightly, showing his attitude.

The middle-aged man turned his gaze towards the seven men and two women, and his eyes fell on one of the women: "You can choose to fight, or you can choose to give up."

Giving up means giving the tenth place to Chu Ning.

Those who can enter the top ten of the Yuanlong list are all talented cultivators. They are all proud and arrogant. How could they admit defeat without fighting?

"Accept the challenge." The woman responded without hesitation.

“Both sides took to the stage.”

The middle-aged man was not surprised. After Chu Ning and the woman walked onto the sword fighting stage, their figures disappeared on the spot.

There are no rules, no limits.

What counts as a win is determined by both parties themselves.

"You make the first move."

Chu Ning put his hands behind his back and looked at the woman in front of him.

When Miao Bing heard Chu Ning's words and saw Chu Ning's expression, there was a hint of shame and anger in her eyes.

Before meeting Chu Ning, she always felt that the rumors she heard were a bit unrealistic. How could there be such an arrogant person?

But now she believed it. Just based on Chu Ning's attitude, he could really say those words.

"Okay, in that case..."

Feeling that she was underestimated, Miao Bing decided not to hold back anymore and began to make seals with her hands. However, before she could finish her words, her expression changed instantly and she tried to move away.

Unfortunately it's too late.

Bang! Miao Bing only felt a pain on the top of his head. Before he fainted, he looked at Chu Ning with anger in his eyes.

This person told me to take action, but ended up launching a sneak attack.

Miao Bing fainted, and there was an uproar at the scene.

mean!

Shameless! This guy has no shame at all.

The monks who were watching in the crowd couldn't help but curse.

Zhao Qin, who was in the crowd, also had his mouth twitching. Although Chu Ning was his good friend, he also had to say that this guy was not a human being.

On a hilltop in Wuliangjian Mountain, Xie Jingxing, Helian Weizong and three other men were sitting at a stone table sipping tea.

Xie Jingxing's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and then returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you, Sect Master. Is this what your master taught you?"

Helian Weizong naturally would not miss this opportunity to mock Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing put down his teacup and said calmly: "Our sect emphasizes teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Chu Ning came from the lower realm. Since he embarked on the road of cultivation, he has experienced many intrigues and deceptions. It is understandable that he did this."

Xie Jingxing could only make up for it in this way. He felt helpless towards Chu Ning. He could have won fairly, but he chose to do this.

"I thought your sect taught all its disciples this way."

Helian Weizong did not hold on to it. Chu Ning's behavior could be ridiculed, but it could not be condemned because Chu Ning did not violate any rules.

It can only be said that Miao Bing overestimated Chu Ning's character.

"This guy, luckily I promised to give him 30%."

Yun Anlan, who was watching the battle in the sky, was full of relief at this moment. She now really believed that Chu Ning would deliberately admit defeat for the sake of the spirit crystal.

If he could carry out such a shameless sneak attack in front of so many people, it would not be surprising if he wanted to lose on purpose.

On the sword fighting stage, Chu Ning paid no attention to the anger of the monks below, and didn't even glance at them.

Fight, as long as you win.

The middle-aged man who was the referee appeared on the stage again. With a wave of his right hand, Miao Bing was sent off the stage. Then he looked at Chu Ning with a complicated expression and asked, "Do you want to rest?"

"No need, continue the challenge."

Chu Ning's tone was very proud. The middle-aged man turned his gaze to the remaining eight people: "According to the rules, the ninth place on the Yuanlong Ranking..."

"senior!"

Chu Ning interrupted the middle-aged man and said, "Don't come one by one. Let all nine of them come."

Hiss! The monks at the scene were in an uproar because of Chu Ning's words.

One against nine.

This Chu Ning is extremely arrogant.

Even Jiang Zuo wouldn't dare to say that he could defeat nine at once.

Jiang Zuo's pupils shrank after hearing Chu Ning's words. If it were him alone, he really had no confidence that he could defeat the other nine people together.

"Chu Ning, you are too arrogant. If you want us to join forces, you have to get past me first."

Below, Gan Yunzheng, who was ranked ninth on the Yuanlong List, appeared directly on the sword fighting stage.

If the nine of them really joined forces to deal with Chu Ning, then no matter whether Chu Ning won or lost, the nine of them would have already lost first.

"Forget it. Since you don't want to, just come one by one. It will just take up some time at most."

Chu Ning had a look of regret on his face, but the monks at the scene all realized that Chu Ning had said that on purpose.

"Chu Ning said such big words because he knew that others would not join forces to deal with him. I was really fooled by him."

"This guy...will die if he doesn't pretend."

"The number one force king in the Nascent Soul Realm must be Chu Ning."

Zhao Qin in the crowd, however, had shining eyes. He learned something. It turns out that this is how you can play.

This is much more impressive than what he said at the beginning: "If I am not defeated in three moves, I will commit suicide here." No wonder Chu Ning always said that he did not master the essence of pretending to be cool. Now it seems that he is still a little short of it.

"You make the first move."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, the monks watching below rolled their eyes. Still coming?

Gan Yunzheng also sneered. With the previous experience of Miao Bing, he naturally would not be fooled again. He simply slapped the storage bag with his right hand, and a magic staff appeared in his hand.

On the top of the staff, there was a blue bead emitting cold air. As Gan Yunzheng waved his right hand, the blue bead flashed, and a blue ice flower appeared, spinning rapidly towards Chu Ning.

As the ice flowers approached, Chu Ning clearly felt the temperature drop around him. Although the chill emitted by the ice flowers was still ten feet away, it made his blood feel solidified.

Chu Ning did not retreat but advanced, taking a step forward. The Qingshan Armor appeared on his body, and the coldness dissipated instantly. At the same time, Binghua also arrived in front of him.

Explode! Gan Yunzheng shouted softly, and the ice flowers suddenly cracked and turned into six ice blades, slashing towards Chu Ning head-on.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Chu Ning stood still, allowing the ice blade to strike him.

Six ice blades slashed at Chu Ning, leaving only a few marks on the Qingshan Armor.

This scene stunned the monks present.

Especially the other people on the Yuanlong list, they know each other very well. If they were to face Gan Yunzheng, they would definitely not be able to dissolve the ice blade so easily.

The coldness and spiritual energy contained in this ice blade are difficult to defend against.

“Too weak.”

Chu Ning looked at Gan Yunzheng and uttered three words softly. Gan Yunzheng's face darkened and he waved the staff in his hand again. This time, four ice flowers appeared, bursting out with a coldness that was even more shocking than before.

Four ice flowers exploded in front of Chu Ning, cold air rushed towards the surroundings madly, and twenty-four ice blades whistled and slashed towards Chu Ning.

Wherever the ice blade passed, even the space seemed to be cut through, leaving cracks, but the next moment it was immediately frozen by the cold air, and white frost threads appeared on the entire sword-fighting arena.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. Before Nian Tangshan broke through to 30,000 feet, it would be a bit troublesome for him to crack Gan Yunzheng's magic.

But Nian Tangshan broke through to 30,000 feet and evolved the power of the mountain. Although the stripes on his Qingshan Armor did not increase, its defensive power was enhanced several times.

What's more, the height of Nian Tangshan is not just 30,000 feet, but 55,000 feet.

Facing the whistling ice blade, Chu Ning simply ignored it. The mountain power in his body circulated and fell on his right hand. His entire right hand radiated astonishing energy.

Pah! Chu Ning slapped Gan Yunzheng through the air.

A giant hand evolved, and to outsiders, it seemed like a giant hand evolved from spiritual power.

Wherever the giant hand passed, several ice blades shattered instantly.

When Gan Yunzheng saw this scene, his pupils shrank rapidly and he took out a pair of black scissors from his storage bag again.

"go!"

Gan Yunzheng formed a seal with one hand, and a pair of scissors flew out. His body suddenly grew in the air and he cut towards the giant hand.

The blades of the scissors flashed with cold light, but at the moment of collision with the giant hand, the giant hand flicked its fingers and directly launched the scissors out, and they stopped only when they hit the spiritual barrier of the sword fighting arena, and finally fell to the ground dully.

At the same time, the giant hand came to Gan Yunzheng, grasped it tightly, and covered Gan Yunzheng.

After three breaths, the giant hand disappeared, and Gan Yun fell on the sword fighting stage.

Below, there was complete silence.

The other seven people on the Yuanlong Ranking had solemn expressions.

This Chu Ning is too strong.

Only Jiang Zuo's expression did not change.

"I've already told you guys to go together. Life is really lonely like snow."

Chu Ning put his hands behind his back and scanned the entire audience.

This time, no one contradicted him.

Because of the strength shown by Chu Ning, he conquered them.

"No need to continue the challenge, you are qualified to fight me."

Jiang Zuo looked at Chu Ning with sharp eyes, with fighting spirit in his eyes. There was no point in letting Chu Ning continue fighting with the remaining seven people.

Hiss! As soon as Jiang Zuo said this, there was an uproar at the scene.

This is equivalent to Jiang Zuo acknowledging that Chu Ning has the strength to rank second on the Yuanlong List.

The onlookers looked at the remaining seven people on the Yuanlong Ranking, especially the second one, Le Qingliang.

At this moment, Le Qingliang had a gloomy face. Jiang Zuo's words undoubtedly meant that he felt he was no match for Chu Ning, but he couldn't refute it because he couldn't defeat Gan Yunzheng so easily.

"Brother Jiang is right."

After a few breaths, Le Qingliang finally admitted it.

The monks at the scene instantly shifted their gaze away from Le Qingliang and moved their eyes to Jiang Zuo and Chu Ning.

I originally thought that the battle between Chu Ning and Jiang Zuo might take many days, because Chu Ning would have to go through several fierce battles first, but I didn't expect the most exciting scene to appear so soon.

One is a genius who has long occupied the first place on the Yuanlong List and is rumored to be able to retreat calmly even when facing a powerful God Transformation Master.

One is an alchemist who suddenly made it to the Yuanlong list as a dark horse and displayed terrifying strength.

Alchemist? Many monks suddenly looked strange.

An alchemist actually ranked second on the Yuanlong list. If this had not actually happened before their eyes, if someone had said this before, they would have scolded him to death.

Unnamed mountain.

Xie Jingxing picked up the teacup and said slowly, "Master Helian, if Chu Ning wins by chance, I hope Master Helian will not get angry."

"Master Xie is so confident in Chu Ning before the battle even begins?"

Helian Weizong looked at Xie Jingxing coldly. Chu Ning's strength was indeed good, but he was still no match for Jiang Zuo.

"If Sect Master Helian thinks your sect's Jiang Zuo will win, then you and I might as well make a bet."

Xie Jingxing finally revealed his true purpose.

"What is Xie Zongzhu betting on?"

"If Chu Ning wins, let Chu Ning go into the sword pool."

After Xie Jingxing said this, Helian Weizong became even colder. He finally understood that Xie Jingxing's original goal was the sword pool.

He deliberately invited the leaders of the other three sects to watch the battle so as not to give himself the opportunity to refuse.

"What can Sect Master Xie come up with?"

"Wuji Wuxu Pill."

Helian Weizong's pupils shrank, and the other three men also looked at Xie Jingxing with some surprise.

Wuji Wuxu Pill, this is a big deal from Xie Jingxing.

"Okay, I accept this bet, and the three Taoist friends will just be witnesses."

Xie Jingxing smiled slightly. He was not surprised by Helian Weizong's reaction. It was true that the Sword Pond was the treasure of Wuliang Sword Mountain, but some talented disciples of Wuliang Sword Mountain were qualified to enter the Sword Pond. Although a spot in the Sword Pond was precious, it was only for Nascent Soul and ordinary God Transformation cultivators.

It’s just that Wuliang Jianshan insisted that no outsiders have ever entered.

In comparison, the Wuji Wuxu Pill is an elixir that is close to the eighth grade.
