Above the East Sea of the Diyun Continent, the sky is a deep blue, reflecting the beauty of the sea, creating a peaceful and tranquil scene. However, if you look closely, you will find that an area in the sky is unusually dark, as if shrouded by a mysterious force.
From time to time, some noises that were out of tune with the surrounding environment could be heard from this black cloud. They were the clanging of weapons and the wailing of human pain.
Time passed by minute by minute, and suddenly a figure jumped out of the dark sky. His clothes were stained black and red with blood, and he held a black and red long sword in his hand. The sword was flashing with cold light, revealing endless murderous intent.
At the same time, a group of pursuers followed closely behind him. These pursuers were dressed in purple and gold armor, wearing flower crowns on their heads, and were as aggressive as the heavenly soldiers and generals in myths and legends. As they chased him closely, they shouted loudly:
"As long as we kill him, there will be no obstacle to our goal of taking the land!"
Before he finished speaking, one of the pursuers brandished a halberd in his hand and rushed towards the target like a gust of wind. The halberd drew a sharp arc in the air, piercing the target's body with the force of thunder.
However, just when the halberd was about to pierce the target's body, something unexpected happened - the target's figure disappeared without a trace in an instant like a phantom!
The pursuer's face was filled with shock, and just as he turned around, a long sword slashed towards his throat.
"Puff" a stream of golden blood spurted out along the neck. The pursuer covered his neck with horror, but the blood gushed out from between his fingers like a fountain.
No matter how hard he tried to stop the bleeding, it was already too late. His body gradually lost strength and he finally fell straight into the raging sea, splashing water everywhere.
The man floating in the air looked at the scene indifferently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"One thousand and eight!" he murmured softly, as if counting his trophies.
Then, he turned his head sharply, staring at the other pursuers with a sharp gaze. In his hand, he held a long sword that shone with cold light, and pointed the blade directly at the other party, emitting a chilling murderous intent.
"Tell Emperor Tianzhong that if he wants to invade the earth, he must get past me, Xiao Ning, first!"
"I will kill as many as you come!"
"Until I kill you all, until you are convinced!"
Facing Xiao Ning's voice that sounded like a demon from hell, the pursuers were obviously completely frightened. Their bodies began to tremble involuntarily, and the weapons in their hands began to shake slightly.
At this moment, a man who looked like a soldier commander spoke up boldly:
"Sir, you have killed so many people in our imperial army. The emperor will never let you go! However, as long as you are willing to get out of the way, we will naturally plead with the emperor for you. With your powerful cultivation, it is a pity to be confined to this world. Join us and go to the upper world together. There is everything you want! Sir..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ning suddenly interrupted him rudely and shouted in a high-pitched voice:
"If your goal is to make me surrender, then I advise you to save your energy! Unless Emperor Tianzhong immediately cancels the attack on our territory, there is only one choice - to step over my dead body!"
"Is Emperor Tianzhong a coward? I have killed so many of his soldiers, but he still dares not show up! What's the point of calling him the man closest to God? It's a huge joke!"
Xiao Ning's words were full of contempt and ridicule for Emperor Tianzhong, making the soldiers present flushed with anger! However, despite the rage in their hearts, no one dared to act rashly, because they all remembered clearly that the soldier whose neck was cut by Xiao Ning just now was a lesson for them.
The officer's face turned purple with anger. His lips trembled slightly. After a long while, he finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:
"Okay! Since you are so ungrateful and only want to fight to the death, there is no need for me to waste my time talking to you! Emperor Tianzhong will be here soon, and then you can just wait to be completely destroyed by him! You are a guy who doesn't know your own limitations, and you are destined to be forgotten in the long river of history!"
Before he finished speaking, the officer turned around quickly, without looking back, and led his soldiers to rush towards the black cloud like a gust of wind.
Xiao Ning looked at the enemy going away, a barely perceptible trace of fatigue flashed across his eyes. He retracted his sword, then took out a few pills from his storage ring and swallowed them in one gulp.
The effect of the pill was immediate, and soon, a faint red glow appeared on his face. At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded.
"Master! Your secondary body has been killed. I can already feel the dissipation of your divine consciousness."
"It seems that Sister Rouxue still refuses to release Sister Xuanya, and the plan has failed!"
Xiao Ning muttered to himself, and the light in his eyes dimmed a lot. At first, Xiao Ning had hoped that Yourong Rouxue would release Yourong Xuanya because he was beaten beyond recognition. He didn't expect that she was so cruel that she even killed his second body. For a moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.
"It looks like I have to fight her!"
"Master... your body is already overloaded. You can't go on like this, or your memory will start to blur until you become an emotionless killing machine."
The system's advice obviously did not meet Xiao Ning's approval, and he chuckled.
