Chapter 637: Beat the Dog When It’s Down
The last seventy breaths.
Chu Ning had a strange smile on his face, and he used the Time-Depleting Art to accelerate time with him and Duanmu Zheng as the area.
He had used this magical power before when facing Zuo Xuan, turning back time by ten breaths, but the price he paid was 1,300 years of life.
The cost of speeding up time is twice as much as that of going backwards.
And this time he is facing a powerful Dongxu master. The stronger the opponent is, the higher the cost of life that needs to be burned.
Within a distance of a hundred feet, time began to accelerate again, and even Duanmu Zheng was standing still while Chu Ning's time was accelerating.
It’s not that Duanmu Zheng didn’t react, but because at this moment, time stopped in the area of 100 meters in radius centered on Chu Ning.
The acceleration of time at this moment is a bit like taking place in another parallel space, and it will only affect reality when the acceleration ends.
Otherwise, if time failed to stop at the moment of acceleration, Duanmu Zheng would naturally be able to discover the clues. With his realm as a powerful Dongxu master, he could leave this area in an instant.
One year, two years...
Chu Ning's life was passing away quickly. If time accelerated for a moment, a hundred years of life would burn out.
Ten breaths, a thousand years of life.
Twenty breaths, two thousand three hundred years of life.
Fifty breaths, six thousand years of life.
Seventy breaths, eleven thousand years of life.
The longer the acceleration time is, the more life you will have to pay later, and it is not a fixed value.
All the people watching the battle could only see that the space of Danshan Sect was distorted. Even the mirror could no longer display the scene inside Danshan Sect.
They can only feel the time passing by breath by breath.
Boom! Just as the distorted space of the Danshan Mountains became clear, everyone was suddenly shocked to find that the originally high-ranking outer realm cave master now had an extremely ugly expression.
"Chun Ning, I will grind you into ashes!"
Duanmu Zheng's angry roar resounded through the sky, but just as his voice fell, pillars of light appeared in many places in the northern border and came towards Danshan Sect. In an instant, they gathered into a curtain of light above Danshan Sect.
The light curtain flickered, and the moment Duanmu Zheng saw the light curtain above his head, he didn't even care about Chu Ning, and took a step forward and went into the void.
Unfortunately, the light curtain blocked his way, and at the same time, the aura around Duanmu Zheng began to drop madly.
A quarter of an hour later, the Forbidden Void Formation began to take effect.
"Fellow Daoists, please help me!"
Feeling the decline of his own strength, Duanmu Zheng felt panic spreading in his heart for the first time.
Normally, even if he descended to the Return to Void Realm, he would still be invincible in the Northern Territory, but he was a little scared by Chu Ning's beating.
The most important thing is that this guy is too weird.
When I was in the Void Realm, this guy was able to stop me for so long. If I were to descend to the Return to Void Realm...
He didn't dare to take the risk, and at this moment he could only ask for help from the other four Dongxu masters in the outer realm.
If these four people help him, he will still have a chance to leave the North.
Unfortunately, in the face of his cry for help, the four powerful Dongxu masters from the outer realm remained indifferent.
The five people came from five different regions. They had the same stance on how to deal with the North, but this stance only applied to how to deal with the North. They were also suspicious of each other internally.
Faced with Duanmu Zheng's request for help, the four of them remained indifferent.
The loss of Duanmu Zheng does not affect their crushing of the Northern Territory. On the contrary, it allows them to obtain more resources from the Northern Territory. After all, there is one less sect with a Dongxu master in charge to divide the resources.
The powerful Dongxu masters from the outer realm tacitly did not take any action. After asking for help, Duanmu Zheng immediately figured out the trick and knew that it was impossible to expect those four guys to help him.
His eyes immediately turned to Chu Ning.
At this moment, Chu Ning's face was pale, his hair was once again white, and there were visible old age spots on his face. He looked like a dying monk with one foot buried in the earth.
For Chu Ning, the burning of ten thousand years of life would not kill him. After all, the immortality fruit gave him tens of thousands of years of life. However, burning more than ten thousand years of life in an instant also caused damage to his body. The immortality fruit would not make up for his life so quickly. It would take at least several years for it to come back.
Seeing Chu Ning's appearance, Duanmu Zheng snorted coldly. He knew very well in his heart that the reason Chu Ning became like this was the price he paid for forcefully using the power of the law of time.
What a fool! In Duanmu Zheng's opinion, Chu Ning is a fool.
Using this method of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred, even if the crisis in the North is resolved this time, it cannot solve the root cause, and he himself will become a useless person.
It's simply not worth it to fight for the North.
Among cultivators, who is not selfish while practicing all the way? It is impossible to cultivate to the realm of Dongxu without being selfish.
We must fight for resources and techniques...
Even within the same sect there is competition, not to mention such a large realm.
In Duanmu Zheng's opinion, apart from being loyal to their sect, cultivators should not be loyal to any region at all.
How many sects and schools have flourished and then perished? Looking back on the history of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years on a piece of land, it can be said that there has been an iteration of sects and schools.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Whoever is stronger will occupy more territory, and the North should just accept this.
With Chu Ning's talent, if he chooses to join a force in the outside world, he will definitely be trained as a genius, and stepping into Dongxu is just around the corner. His future can be said to be bright. There is no need for him to make an enemy of the entire outside world for the sake of the Northern Territory and do such a futile act.
“Chu Ning, I have to admit that you are crazy, but you think you can do anything to me by suppressing me in the Return to Void Realm. In the Return to Void Realm, I am also invincible.”
Duanmu Zheng looked at Chu Ning coldly. He was a powerful Void Realm cultivator. Even though his realm was suppressed to the Return to Void Realm, his methods were not comparable to those of ordinary Return to Void Realm cultivators.
There are only two Return to Void cultivators in the Northern Territory. Chu Ning is already disabled, and the remaining girl is no match for him.
The reason why he asked for help before was that he didn't want to put himself in danger. Now that he has no way out, his mentality is naturally different.
"That's not necessarily the case?"
The gray mist in Chu Ning's eyes became even darker. The power of Nirvana in his body had not been used up yet, and could still burst out again.
"Chu Ning, have a good rest. I will leave the rest to Master."
Just when Chu Ning was about to take action again, Qi Shiyun's voice came from a distance, and the next moment Qi Shiyun's figure appeared above the Danshan Mountains.
"Master."
Qi Shiyun glanced at Chu Ning with determination in her eyes. Chu Ning knew in his heart that his master had made a decision.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Master."
Chu Ning finally chose to believe in his master. Although he had the lifespan replenished by the longevity fruit, if he did not absorb it quickly, it would indeed leave scars on his body, causing him considerable trouble in his future efforts to reach the Void Realm.
"But Master, I have a suggestion..."
Qi Shiyun turned around and looked at Chu Ning, with confusion in her beautiful eyes.
"He is now in the Return to Void Realm. Although he is a Spiritualization cultivator and is no match for this old man, but too many ants can kill an elephant. With the help of our master, plus the guys like Jiang Zuo, we should be able to take him down."
Group fight!
This was the idea Chu Ning gave to his master.
There is no need to observe any etiquette when dealing with cultivators from the outer realms. Without their own master, no matter how many Jindan cultivators like Jiang Zuo and others there are, it will be useless, because the strong ones in the Return to Void Realm can come and go freely.
But if his master is also in the Return to Void Realm, and cooperates with people like Jiang Zuo, there should be no problem in dealing with this old thing.
Qi Shiyun was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled. She did not reject her disciple's suggestion. At the same time, Jiang Zuo and others also arrived above the Danshan Mountains and surrounded Duanmu Zheng in the middle.
There's no need to be polite with this old guy.
The old man, as a powerful Dongxu master, lowered himself to attack them shamelessly, so don't blame them for kicking the dog when it's down.
