Chapter 447 Zuo Xuan on the Stand
Three opponents.
The early stage of transformation, the middle stage of transformation, and the late stage of transformation.
When Chu Ning mentioned the initial stage of transformation, there was an uproar at the scene.
Even those who came from the upper realm had to admit that Chu Ning was invincible in the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
When Chu Ning was still in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he was able to suppress the early stage Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators in the upper realm. His battle with Qian Zhen completely established his invincible image as a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Now that Chu Ning has entered the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation, it goes without saying that no matter how confident the genius in the entire Northern Territory is, he would not dare to challenge Chu Ning in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation.
And when Chu Ning finally said that the third opponent might be in the late stage of Spirit Transformation, the uproar disappeared.
They understood what Chu Ning meant.
The so-called early stage of transformation is just a bonus, the highlight is in the middle and late stages of transformation.
Chu Ning is in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, which is one small realm away from the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Many Spirit Transformation masters present know how big the gap is between the middle stage and the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
An almost insurmountable gap.
"This is not fair to Senior Chu."
"Only Senior Chu dares to say such a thing as challenging a late-stage Spiritualization expert. If the other party still doesn't accept it, then I will go to war with them. As a member of the Dan Domain, I will not complain even if I lose my life for this."
The Dan Realm cultivators who were watching the scene all spoke up to express their opinions. In their opinion, this was clearly a plan proposed by Senior Chu at a cost to themselves for the sake of the overall situation. If these people did not even accept such conditions, then it would be too much.
"Chun Ning?"
Tang Ruowei appeared beside Chu Ning and looked at Chu Ning worriedly. Chu Ning held Tang Ruowei's hand and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Xie Jingxing, who was standing by, also wanted to speak up to dissuade him, but after hearing what Chu Ning said, he pursed his lips and said nothing more.
The old man from Danshan Sect narrowed his eyes slightly, while Wen Renjing, who was leaning on a cane, sighed softly. As for the Saint Master, his expression showed no emotion.
The Holy Lord of Jiuxiao Holy Land, the Holy Lord of Luofu Holy Land and Ning Wuji exchanged glances with each other, and it was obvious that they were also communicating with each other using their spiritual sense.
"Zuo Xuan, what do you think?"
Finally, the Holy Lord of Jiuxiao Holy Land looked at Zuo Xuan. Logically speaking, with their status, there was no need for them to consult Zuo Xuan, who was in the late stage of Spirit Transformation. The only one who could talk to them was the Grand Master of the Soul Realm.
The reason why he asked Zuo Xuan this time was just to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
After all, they already knew that Zuo Xuan wanted to kill Chu Ning and would definitely not let go of such an opportunity, and Zuo Xuan happened to be in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Replying to Saint Qin, this condition is acceptable."
Zuo Xuan agreed without even thinking.
The early and middle stages of the Spirit Transformation can be ignored. The most important thing is the final battle in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation.
No matter how many backup plans Danyu prepared for Chu Ning, they were useless in the face of the absolute gap in strength.
"In your opinion, which three should we choose to fight against Chu Ning?" The Holy Lord of Jiuxiao Holy Land asked with a smile.
"The early and middle stages of the Spirit Transformation will be decided by Senior Qin Shengzhu and others, and the final round will be left to us in the Soul Realm." Zuo Xuan replied with a smile.
"good!"
The Holy Lord of Jiuxiao Holy Land nodded and looked at the Holy Master: "Fellow Daoist Fan, let's do this."
The Saint Master just glanced at Chu Ning without asking any questions, then retracted his gaze and said, "Okay, life and death are all up to fate, and no one will be held accountable afterwards."
When the Saint Master said, "Life and death are all left to fate," many of the monks watching seemed to have grasped the key point.
"Wait, if the first battle is fought by an early stage of the Spiritualization, wouldn't that be courting death?"
"Yes, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. For a person in the early stage of the Spiritualization to face Senior Chu, isn't that like holding a lantern in a toilet?"
"What do you mean?"
"Looking for death."
…
Listening to the discussions, the expressions of the Holy Lord and others of Jiuxiao Holy Land were also stunned. This was indeed something they had overlooked.
If a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm were to fight against Chu Ning, his life would surely be in danger.
Even for the three families, it is not easy to train a Divine Transformation cultivator. It is impossible to use him as cannon fodder to die. Moreover, if they really do so, it will make their disciples feel disheartened.
For a sect, cohesion is very important.
The bigger the sect, the more it cares about these things. If a disciple loses a sense of belonging to the sect, once he has cultivated to a certain level and is fully grown, he will probably abandon the sect and leave.
There are many excuses to travel around and look for opportunities, but there is nothing you can do if you never come back.
So, this was a trap that Chu Ning had dug for them.
The three Holy Lords of Jiuxiao Holy Land looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. It was obvious that they would not send this cultivator in the early stage of Jindan.
Finally, the three of them looked at Zuo Xuan.
Zuo Xuan was stared at by three people and cursed in his heart, "You three families don't want to go out, so you want me to arrange someone in the Soul Realm to die. How is that possible?"
"Three seniors, I suggest that we let Chu Ning win in the first match, so that people won't say that we won unfairly."
As soon as Zuo Xuan said this, the three Holy Lords of Jiuxiao Holy Land accepted it with pleasure. This first battle had no meaning at all. Instead of sending people to die, it would be better to reduce the number of people directly. This way, people who were not in the know would think that the three of them were more magnanimous.
Hush! The monks who were watching the scene booed when they heard Zuo Xuan’s words. They knew that a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm could not be a match for Senior Chu, but they did not dare to send someone to die. Instead, they flattered themselves and called it a good name for fear that people would say that they won unfairly.
If you are really afraid of being criticized, why not cancel the last battle between Senior Chu and the late-stage Jinhua cultivator and have a fair duel between the middle-stage Jinhua cultivators?
The monks watching at the scene did not realize that their awe in the face of these powerful gods and even the powerful cave masters had decreased a lot.
This is related to the strength of Danyu, and also to the gap between the pattern shown by these big figures such as the Holy Lord of Jiuxiao Holy Land and what they imagined.
In the eyes of these cultivators, the powerful masters of the Spirit Transformation and Cave Void stages are high above them and are the big shots whom they could not meet in the past.
The less they have contact with them, the more they imagine these big shots to be very great. However, what they saw and heard today shattered these great images in their minds. They found that these big shots were just like them, full of calculations.
"Why deceive yourself?"
Chu Ning shook his head slightly and said, "Since we have agreed on three games, then it must be three games, not one less."
He would propose such a fight, that was waiting here.
If you want to kill me, just send me a cannon fodder to kill first.
How can you all have all the good things?
"Since we have already made an agreement, then we must follow the agreement, otherwise all agreements will be cancelled!"
The Saint Master spoke slowly, and the three Saint Lords of Jiuxiao Holy Land turned their gazes to Zuo Xuan again. Zuo Xuan's mouth twitched. It seemed that these three old guys still wanted him to send someone from his Soul Realm to be cannon fodder.
But he was just a soul envoy, not the grand hall master. In the past, he could command some godsend monks to do things, but how could they listen to him when they were asked to die?
Zuo Xuan didn't expect that Chu Ning had set a trap for them here. You have to know that the conditions were proposed by Chu Ning, and they agreed to them. If they go back on their word at this time, the situation will be reversed. The old guys from Danyu will definitely use this as an excuse to protect Chu Ning to the death, and the three old guys from Jiuxiao Holy Land will not fight to the death with Danyu.
What a cunning guy.
Zuo Xuan cursed Chu Ning in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged as he looked at Qu Xiangming and others.
Most of Qu Xiangming and the others chose to avoid Zuo Xuan's gaze. Qu Xiangming coughed lightly and said, "Our realms do not meet the requirements."
The first battle required an early stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, but they were all in the middle and late stages of the Spirit Transformation.
"Lord Zuo Shengshi, let me do it."
A figure walked out from the void.
"Lin Tan, be careful."
Zuo Xuan saw the person coming, nodded, and then gave a warning.
Lin Tan is from his Soul Realm and is his loyal subordinate. He has handled many shady things for him in the Soul Realm.
If there was no other way, he would not agree to let Lin Tan fight Chu Ning, because Lin Tan is definitely not Chu Ning's opponent.
But there is no other choice at the moment. If you miss this opportunity, given how much importance Danyu attaches to Chu Ning, it will not be so easy to kill Chu Ning and collect his soul in the future.
"Don't worry, Envoy Zuo, I know what's going on."
Lin Tan nodded. He knew very well that Chu Ning's strength was definitely above his. He would stand up and fight Chu Ning, not to defeat Chu Ning, but just to fill the gap in this battle.
After the battle starts, just admit defeat after taking one or two moves from Chu Ning.
Unless Chu Ning could kill him instantly and leave him unable to utter the word "surrender".
But Lin Tan was also confident in himself. He had secretly killed many people for Zuo Shengshi, and he was best at hiding and escaping. Chu Ning would definitely not deny him the opportunity to say the word "surrender".
As long as he admits defeat, he will have made a contribution, and the Left Saint Envoy will definitely give him a generous reward.
You know, he has been stuck in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation for many years, and now will be a great opportunity for him to break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation.
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Tan. Although the other party was a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the aura on his body was not strong. He was not even as strong as Lu Sizhong who had just entered the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm not long ago.
But this person is so confident that he is definitely not in the initial stage of transformation. Therefore, he is good at concealing his breath and figure and is proficient in the art of assassination. He plans to admit defeat when the battle comes.
“People die for money, birds die for food!”
Chu Ning spoke softly, looking at Lin Tan meaningfully.
Listening to Chu Ning's words and seeing the look in Chu Ning's eyes, Lin Tan felt as if Chu Ning had seen through his thoughts. At that moment, he had an urge to break his promise, but reason quickly made him suppress this urge.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This is his only chance to break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he will not give up no matter what.
What's more, he had specially studied Chu Ning's previous combat experiences and knew that Chu Ning's greatest reliance was his flying sword and his magical power to summon mountains, but these two things were exactly what he could avoid with his escape technique.
"There is no point in talking too much, the truth will be revealed with your actions."
Lin Tan had a proud look on his face. This was his strategy, to show his disdain for Chu Ning and make Chu Ning angry and embarrassed. This way, Chu Ning would definitely want to humiliate him severely and would not kill him directly. It would be easier for him to "admit defeat" then.
"To irritate me, brother, is like stealing chickens from the henhouse."
Chu Ning sighed in his heart. As the ancestor of King Gou, he saw through Lin Tan's thoughts at a glance.
It’s hard to persuade a damn ghost with kind words.
Since this person came from the Soul Realm and was Zuo Xuan's subordinate, he had no psychological burden in killing him.
Chu Ning took a few steps and came to the gate of Danshan Sect. Lin Tan was stunned when he saw Chu Ning's actions: "Are we going to fight here?"
Normally speaking, the fight between two Jindan cultivators should not take place at a sect's mountain gate. Even if the Danshan Sect has a protective formation to guard it, the aftermath of the fight between the two will inevitably destroy the buildings and mountains outside the mountain gate.
"Killing you is as easy as pie. There's no need to go to the sky."
Chu Ning's calm words made Lin Tan's pupils shrink. Even though he was ready to "give up", he was still stimulated by Chu Ning's words at this moment.
As a cultivator who has reached the Divine Transformation stage, I have never been looked down upon like this before.
"Okay, I want to see how you kill me!"
Whoosh! Lin Tan took the lead.
His body turned into a beam of black light and shot towards Chu Ning. Strangely, it did not cause any energy fluctuations.
Seeing Lin Tan's actions, Zuo Xuan smiled. Lin Tan was using some kind of escape magic unique to the Soul Realm. He had given this magic to seven people, but only Lin Tan had mastered it.
The soul is divided and escapes.
After using this magical power, what you see is not the real entity, but an evolved clone.
However, the strength of the clone is exactly the same as that of the original body, and the original body can choose to escape far away or hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to strike. Relying on the magical power of soul-splitting escape, Lin Tan assassinated many cultivators of the same level.
At the moment Lin Tan took action, Chu Ning's figure narrowed slightly, and the sword intent dragon blasted out directly.
Bang! Lin Tan's entire figure was directly blasted apart by the sword dragon, turning into a wisp of black smoke. The black smoke filled the air, and Chu Ning frowned. The next moment, Lin Tan's figure rushed out from his left, and a black chain went straight to his chest like a poisonous snake.
The chain pierced into Chu Ning's chest! Lin Tan's face was filled with surprise. He didn't expect Chu Ning to be hit. Doesn't this mean that he will have a chance to defeat Chu Ning?
In an instant, a risky idea flashed through Lin Tan's mind, but the next moment he decided to admit defeat and quit while he was ahead.
No matter what, his goal has been achieved. If he injures Chu Ning and makes him admit defeat, Zuo Shengshi will be more satisfied. If he really kills Chu Ning, he is afraid that the powerful Dongxu masters in Danyu will not do anything to him on the spot, but they will probably retaliate against him afterwards.
Being targeted by several powerful Dongxu masters, it is not necessarily safe even if you stay in the Soul Realm.
Seeing Lin Tan retreating rapidly after a successful attack, Chu Ning sighed in his heart, this guy is really steady, but the last thing he should have done was to attack him.
Before taking action, he had already scanned Lin Tan with the Dongming Treasure Mirror and knew clearly what Lin Tan was good at. He deliberately allowed himself to be injured by Lin Tan just to lure the other party closer.
Unfortunately, Lin Tan chose to retreat at this time.
Boom! A mountain suddenly fell on top of Lin Tan's head.
“Chu…”
Lin Tan felt the mountain above his head and knew that Chu Ning was probably planning to kill him. However, his goal had been achieved and he could now admit defeat.
However, just as Lin Tan opened his mouth, Chu Ning's figure turned into an aurora. Lin Ye's pupils shrank, and only the aurora remained in his eyes.
Hiss! A burst of shock erupted at the scene.
All the monks watching were shocked to see that at the moment when Lin Tan stepped back and was about to speak, Chu Ning's figure moved. They only saw a ray of light, which instantly passed through Lin Tan's body, and the next moment they saw Lin Tan's entire body suddenly explode.
Dead and gone!
A powerful god-transforming expert was gone in just an instant.
Although everyone knew that Lin Tan had no chance of winning against Chu Ning, they never expected that he would be defeated so quickly and even lose his life.
Zuo Xuan's face was extremely gloomy. The speed that Chu Ning had just displayed was unmatched by many people in the early and middle stages of the Spirit Transformation, let alone those in the early and middle stages of the Spirit Transformation.
"I'm afraid this boy's body movement ability is extraordinary."
The Holy Lord of Jiuxiao Holy Land was also communicating with the Holy Lord of Luofu and Ning Wuji via telepathic communication.
"This boy's escape technique is probably a secondary magical power that evolved from some great way."
"It seems that this boy has great luck. He can access the great opportunity at the Spiritual Transformation stage."
Ning Wuji snorted coldly, "This boy has the luck of the Central Region, so it is normal for him to have this opportunity, but if we let him live this time, I am afraid there will be endless troubles."
"Don't worry, Emperor Ning. It's too early to tell whether Chu Ning can survive."
The Holy Lord of Jiuxiao Holy Land replied meaningfully. Ning Wuji raised his eyebrow and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but in the end he didn't ask anything.
He knew Qin Canghai. Since Qin Canghai dared to say this, he must have a backup plan.
"I've said before, life and death are up to fate, the Soul Realm won't ask me to pay for my life, right?"
Chu Ning returned to his original position and looked at Zuo Xuan. Zuo Xuan's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He stared at Chu Ning and said, "Don't be complacent too soon. There are still two games to go."
"Who's coming for the second stage of the Spiritualization Stage?"
Chu Ning did not comment. The next moment, he glanced at Qu Xiangming and others. The expressions of these middle-stage Jindan strongmen who were swept by Chu Ning's gaze became extremely unnatural.
After seeing Chu Ning's speed and the rumored hundreds of thousands of flying swords, they no longer had much confidence in facing Chu Ning.
Zuo Xuan was only luring them with benefits, but it was not worth risking their lives for it.
These powerful mid-stage Spirit Transformation masters who came to seek justice seemed not to have noticed Chu Ning's eyes and all chose to remain silent. Zuo Xuan looked at the Holy Lord of Jiuxiao Holy Land, only to find that these three also looked calm and had no intention of speaking.
"These three old guys only think about the benefits and don't want to contribute at all."
Zuo Xuan cursed in his heart. He realized that he was the only one who was put up in the trap. Qin Canghai, Ning Wuji and the other two also knew this, so they chose to remain silent because they were sure that he would not give up.
"Who's coming for the second game?"
Chu Ning looked around the room and asked, "Why, everyone wants to seek justice from me, everyone wants to uphold justice, but now everyone is silent?"
At this moment, Chu Ning changed from his original humbleness and became extremely arrogant.
Humility is towards one’s own people.
Arrogance is directed at the enemy.
Now that the enemy has come to your door, there is no need to be polite.
PS: My daughter has been coughing for several days. She took medicine for a week, but she didn’t feel better. Today I took her to the hospital for an X-ray and it turned out she had pneumonia again. The vaccine was in vain. She had to be hospitalized. I rushed back to write in the evening. Here’s a two-in-one chapter for you today!
