Chapter 209 Let me tell you a story
The aura of the Martial Saint Zhan Tian was much stronger than before. It was not revealed intentionally, but Ning Qi sensed it.
There was a faint golden light flowing in his eyes. The Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint in front of him was like a domineering and unparalleled giant sword, full of oppressive aura. The Purple Moon Martial Saint could not be compared with him at all.
"Even if it's not the realm of supernatural powers, it's probably not far away." Ning Qi was secretly alert.
It is still unclear whether Zhan Tian Wu Sheng is an enemy or a friend.
The old man looked over with his hollow eyes and said calmly:
"My dear Tian Jian, it is not a good habit to spy on others in front of them."
No one knew when, but Martial Saint Zhan Tian had walked up to Zhenwu Mountain. The hearts of the disciples were beating inexplicably. Luo Wentian and others came upon hearing the news, their pupils shrank sharply. A person's name is like a tree's shadow, and the name of Martial Saint Zhan Tian is known to everyone in the world. It is rumored that he is the one who brings order among the Martial Saints.
"The mountain has a sacred atmosphere and great blessings. It's a good place." He continued, lamenting the extraordinary nature of Zhenwu Mountain.
Ning Qi bowed slightly:
"Senior Zhan Tian, please forgive me."
It was indeed not a good idea to use the Golden Eye to spy on others directly. He didn't know the other party's intention before, so he used it instinctively and wanted to be more confident. Now he vaguely realized that Martial Saint Zhan Tian had no ill intentions, so he didn't mind saying some polite words.
The other party's words clearly showed that he knew Ning Qi was not an ancient saint.
"I had a fleeting glimpse of you many years ago. At that time, most of my consciousness was asleep, and I didn't know that you were so talented. It's a pity." He talked about the past.
Everyone in the Zhenwu Sect breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two of them talking calmly.
They have already guessed why Martial Saint Zhan Tian came, and the deaths of Martial Saint Chi Yang and Martial Saint Zi Yue need an explanation.
Ning Qi smiled and said:
"In the past, I was also blind to the truth and thought you were just an ordinary storyteller. I was too persistent in searching for the secret of the Martial Saint, but you enlightened me. The legend of the Martial Saint who cut through the sky has inspired me for a long time."
Zhan Tian Wu Sheng also smiled and nodded, which was rare.
"Later, when I saw my little friend again in the Black Sand Sea, I realized that my little friend had unprecedented talent. It's a pity that if only he had been born a thousand years earlier, or even a hundred years earlier." Everyone could hear his regret.
Ning Qi asked:
"Why?"
Zhan Tian Wu Sheng did not answer but asked:
"You killed the Martial Saint Red Sun and the Martial Saint Purple Moon, right?"
The smile on his face gradually faded, and his empty pupils made people feel a little creepy.
"Yes." Ning Qi said calmly.
He didn't say why. The reason was no longer important. What was important was that he did kill two Martial Saints, which violated the other party's taboo.
"You know I don't advocate life-and-death battles between martial saints."
There was an inexplicable aura gathering around the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint. Everyone was on edge. Even the slightest aftershock of his aura made their souls tremble. The old man in front of them was a little scary, but Ning Qi remained calm:
"They deserved their death."
The Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint shouted:
"What a worthy death! If that's the case, if I'm stronger than you, you'll also have a worthy death!"
Luo Wentian and others were indignant.
It was obvious that the Martial Saint Red Sun and the Martial Saint Purple Moon had come to kill them and steal their treasures. The Martial Saint Zhan Tian in front of them was a little unreasonable, but they did not dare to interrupt. A strong man of the level of the Martial Saint Zhan Tian needed to be respected.
Ning Qi's Taoist robe slowly rolled up:
"Senior, you can try."
His eyes were calm.
He could sense that although Martial Saint Zhan Tian seemed angry, he was not really that angry. Taoist Bai Shan once said that the deaths of Martial Saint Chi Yang and Martial Saint were in vain, and Martial Saint Zhan Tian could not do anything else, but the prerequisite was that Ning Qi showed his due value. He said that as long as Martial Saint Zhan Tian was not blind and could distinguish the important from the unimportant.
Ning Qi had a desire to fight.
He set foot on the level of Martial Saint and deduced the Five Elements Divine Sword Qi. The previous battle was not satisfying at all.
"Very good." Zhan Tian Wu Sheng regained his composure.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the aura around him was becoming more and more terrifying.
Spiritual power gathered together, and no one knew when the ten thousand feet high Zhenwu Mountain had been covered with dark clouds. The celestial phenomena moved in an instant, and it was much more terrifying than the realm of heaven and man. The strong sense of oppression made Dao Mo and others protect the Zhenwu disciples and retreat far away.
This kind of battle is not something they can interfere with.
then.
Zhan Tianwu took action.
He threw the cane in his hand lightly, and the situation changed in an instant. The cane expanded infinitely and turned into a giant pillar that reached the sky. Taoist Longshan's pupils shrank sharply. He had seen this move of the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint on the Zhenxuan Mountain. At that time, it directly suppressed the three top warriors of the Barbarian King and made them unable to raise their heads.
And now.
This giant pillar is much more powerful than before.
The void was trembling and crumbling, unable to bear such a terrifying sense of oppression. Pieces of "space debris" were falling off. The scene was somewhat horrifying. The Zhenwu disciples all stared with their eyes wide open, and the Blade Demon's dark pupils were the widest. He muttered to himself:
"That is..."
The words haven't finished yet.
Then a long, clear chant was heard, and a snow-white light burst out from the giant pillar. An overbearing edge tore through the sky and manifested in the world.
"What a terrifying sword!" The Sword Demon was completely shocked, and there was an incomparable fanaticism in his eyes.
He called himself the Sword Demon, and was the best swordsman in the world before the ancient sage was resurrected. But now, he felt a little insignificant, and the terrifying sword intent made him tremble a little.
That's right.
This is not a giant pillar or a walking stick, it is clearly a knife, a knife with a sheath!
now.
As the giant sword was slowly pulled out, its true appearance was revealed.
This is how much Martial Saint Zhan Tian values Ning Qi.
Ning Qi's breathing quickened slightly, and there was a realization in his eyes:
"So... this is what Slash the Sky means?"
He had always wondered why the title of the Martial Saint Zhantian was Zhantian. Now he finally had the answer. It was no exaggeration to call such peerless sword intent Zhantian.
As the true appearance of the giant sword was revealed, the aura of the Martial Saint Zhan Tian became even more domineering.
He pointed.
The giant knife chopped down with a loud bang, and the space was cut in an instant like brittle paper. A terrifying crack extended out across the sky, as if it was going to cut the sky in half. The scene was extremely horrifying, and it even felt like Zhenwu Mountain was about to be cut in half by a single knife.
Ning Qi exhaled lightly, there was no panic in his eyes, only fighting spirit.
The four organs in his body linked together in an instant, and surging spiritual power burst out, causing the Martial Saint Zhan Tian to look at him sideways.
But what shocked Martial Saint Zhan Tian even more was the sword intent that was also rising into the sky. He saw many paths in it, and even vaguely saw the shadow of his own Zhan Tian sword intent, which made him feel a little unbelievable.
This was naturally what Ning Qi had just realized after observing, but the power of the Heaven-Slaying Sword was profound and unfathomable after all, and Ning Qi still needed to spend a little time to absorb its essence.
Now is not the time to think about these things.
Facing this heaven-slashing sword, he also needs to give it his all.
"Jiamu divine sword energy!"
A thought came to my mind.
The liver in the body suddenly burst into brilliant light.
Ning Qi held the Zhenwu Sword in his hand and swung it lightly. The rich wood energy merged with the sword intent and sword energy. The next moment, a green sword energy with unparalleled sharpness and the meaning of endless life turned into a blue dragon and flew away.
Tear!
The void was torn apart like cloth.
Although the sword energy is several feet long, it is extremely small compared to the giant sword, but its power is no less.
Under the tense gaze of the crowd, the giant knife and sword energy collided with a loud bang.
There was no earth-shattering noise as imagined. Instead, the two were strangely "stuck" together and became still. However, only the three Martial Saints, Sword Demon and the others, could see it clearly. At the point where they met, spiritual power was constantly disintegrating and shattering. The sword energy was endless, constantly eroding the power of the giant sword.
Ning Qi's choice was very particular.
The five elements of divine sword energy each have their own emphasis. Facing this domineering heaven-slashing sword, a head-on confrontation is not a good option. The Jiamu divine sword energy is undoubtedly the best solution.
Faint ripples spread out in all directions and then disappeared.
Both of them were very restrained, otherwise the aftermath alone would have been enough to shatter Zhenwu Mountain. At this level, burning mountains and boiling seas would be a very easy thing. The destructive power of a Martial Saint is extremely terrifying.
But right now.
The sword energy and the giant sword are obviously equally matched.
The Martial Saint Zhan Tian had a calm expression, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
He stared at Ning Qi with empty eyes, and finally sighed:
"The young are to be feared."
With a wave of his hand, the huge sword returned to its sheath and then fell into his hand, turning into an ordinary walking stick.
The sea was calm and the clouds had dispersed.
It was as if everything before was an illusion.
Ning Qi just said calmly:
“Thank you.”
He knows.
The opponent did not use his full strength. He just made a move to test his limit, and the result is as we can see now. Of course, Ning Qi did not use his full strength either. It was not a life-and-death battle, so there was no need to go all out.
Everyone held their breath, feeling immense pride in their hearts.
Who is that person on the other side?
Kill the Martial Saint!
An almighty power that is powerful enough to make all the ancient saints in the world bow their heads in submission.
And now.
But he is only on par with Ning Qi.
The eyes of each Zhenwu disciple were shining. If they were not concerned about the face of Zhantian Wusheng, everyone would have started cheering. Even so, many people were already showing their joy.
Zhan Tian Wu Sheng didn't care about these. He just looked at Ning Qi and said:
"You killed the Red Sun Martial Saint and the Purple Moon Martial Saint, so you have to take over their responsibilities."
The words were calm, as if stating a fact.
Ning Qi raised his eyebrows:
"Tell me about the Covenant of Saints."
Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint nodded and said:
"You are qualified to know."
The rest of the people could not hear the following few words. From their perspective, Ning Qi and Martial Saint Zhan Tian just stared at each other for a moment, and then the two disappeared.
The three sword demons looked at each other and knew where the two had gone.
Seeking Taoism in the courtyard.
Ning Qi and Zhan Tian Wu Sheng sat opposite each other. Yuan Tiansheng respectfully brewed the enlightenment tea and then left.
Zhan Tian Wu Sheng praised:
"What a wonderful temple for seeking the truth, what a wonderful spirit monkey, and what a wonderful enlightenment tree!"
Ning Qi just extended his hand to invite:
"Please taste it."
This is a treasure that comes from the transformation of the Wudao tea tree, and it has miraculous effects.
Zhan Tian Wu Sheng took a sip, his body stiffened, as if he was savoring the taste, and only put down the teacup after dozens of breaths.
“It’s really good tea.”
Ning Qi's mouth curled up slightly. He heard the envy in Zhan Tian Wu Sheng's words. Such a treasure would be of some help even to Ning Qi, not to mention to others. Zhan Tian Wu Sheng was powerful, but his comprehension would never surpass Ning Qi, or even be comparable to him.
"You're too kind." Ning Qi said modestly, and then said nothing else. He just sipped his tea quietly, waiting for Zhan Tian Wu Sheng to speak.
He wanted to know what the so-called responsibilities of succeeding Martial Saint Red Sun and Martial Saint Purple Moon were.
Zhan Tian Wu Sheng was also quietly sipping tea, his empty eyes showing a somewhat desolate meaning.
A moment later.
A slightly heavy voice sounded:
"Let me tell you a story."
Ning Qi said seriously:
"I'd like to hear more about it."
"A long time ago, there was a magical world where martial arts flourished and all kinds of life flourished. At that time, even a Martial Saint was not considered a master. From time to time, there would be legends of stronger people breaking through the realm and ascending to heaven. The world was thriving. There were even extremely powerful people who believed that this world would soon be promoted to a level that would be able to accommodate someone stronger than a Martial Saint."
"One after another, martial arts masters come forward, and world civilization becomes more and more brilliant."
"But one day, everything changed. An invisible poison descended upon the world and merged with the foundation of martial arts civilization - spiritual energy. In an instant, countless warriors died of old age, and spiritual beasts wailed as they died. People called it the life poison, and this calamity was also called the calamity of the life poison."
"But there are many talented people among the living beings. After brainstorming for a few years, they finally came up with a way to weaken it."
"The life poison seems to be no longer so terrible. Although the martial arts civilization has declined a lot, there is still hope for its glory again."
"But gradually, people discovered that the existence of the life poison greatly damaged the upper limit of warriors. The martial arts civilization gradually declined. Later, fewer and fewer martial saints were born."
Ning Qi held his breath slightly.
He already knew the so-called story of the Martial Saint Zhan Tian. This was the ancient glorious time of this world, and now there is not even a fragmentary record of it.
Speaking of this.
It is obvious to see that the emotions of Martial Saint Zhan Tian fluctuate significantly.
His voice was heavy and contained anger and murderous intent.
"That's fine. As time goes by, new martial artists who have merged with the life poison are born one after another. The real disaster has just begun. The invaders are coming!"
"They are the ones who released the life-threatening poison!"
"That day, powerful and hopeless people emerged outside the world. I'm afraid any one of them could wipe out everyone. The feeling of oppression across the barrier of the world was suffocating."
“It was then that everyone knew that the newly promoted Martial Saint was the world’s signpost. When enough people have refined their spiritual energy and life poison into their bodies, the signpost will become exceptionally clear, and it will be able to guide them to connect to the world.”
"Fortunately, due to the suppression of the world, those desperate strong men could not come. The strongest man that this world can accommodate is the Martial Saint. But even so, they also sent Martial Saint strong men to come one by one."
"That day, blood flowed like a river, all living things were slaughtered, and there was endless wailing."
"One after another, the powerful men of this world fought back, and there were many with extraordinary talents among them, but it was useless."
"The gap is too huge. The number of invaders is ten or even a hundred times that of the strong people in this world."
Unconsciously.
Ning Qi's breathing had already stopped, and his pupils were filled with a solemn look.
A martial saint who is a hundred times more powerful than the current one?
Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.
