"Utterly foolish! Do you really think a broken sword can harm me?" The spirit of Ancestor Xuanyuan reappeared, laughing mockingly.
He has cultivated his spiritual power for many years; how could a mere youth compare to his strength?
Ordinary spirit swords couldn't harm him at all, let alone this was just a broken iron sword.
I'm afraid that if this sword were to strike, the first one to be scared to death would be that brat Xuanyuan Cheng!
He deliberately leaned forward, bringing the sword tip closer to his heart, and mocked, "Girl, you're welcome to try! Let's see if this sword strikes and it's Xuanyuan Cheng or this old man who dies?"
He thought Tianning wouldn't dare, which would further break down Xuanyuan Cheng's psychological defenses.
However, Tian Ning smiled and said, "Okay."
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
Without hesitation, the seemingly rusty iron sword pierced through his skin without warning, and in an instant, Ancestor Xuanyuan felt an extremely terrifying power! It was as if an evil spirit had been struck by heavenly lightning, and even the soul deep within its soul let out a sharp wail!
He's going to die! He really is going to die!
If it had pierced any deeper, this broken sword, which he had never given a second thought to, would have reduced him to ashes!
Tianning: "May you rest in peace."
Ancestor Xuanyuan: "!!!"
The older someone is, the more afraid they are of dying.
In short—they value their lives.
At this moment, the Xuanyuan Ancestor was already in a state of confusion. He did not expect Tian Ning to be so ruthless and decisive, stabbing without any hesitation!
Although he was reluctant to part with this body, he wasn't foolish enough to die together with those two boys.
Seeing that Tian Ning was about to kill him, Ancestor Xuanyuan immediately chickened out!
Even if he was unwilling, he couldn't possibly gamble with his own life.
He hurriedly left his body and returned to his own body first. Immediately afterwards, the emaciated old man spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ancestor!"
Surprised that his ancestor had failed to possess the body, the Xuanyuan family head was also filled with lingering fear. Fortunately, he had managed to protect his ancestor's body no matter what, otherwise, with only the people he had with him, they might have really perished here today!
However, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he realized that his ancestor's cultivation had actually dropped to the Void Refinement stage.
The Xuanyuan family head exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be? The consequences of a failed possession are so great!"
He was unaware of this, but the Ancestor Xuanyuan knew perfectly well that, in addition to the backlash caused by the failed possession, there was also the good deed done by the ordinary iron sword in Tianning's hand!
What kind of sword was that? How could it have caused him such immense damage!
The Xuanyuan family head was struck dumb. With his ancestor's cultivation level so low, how could he still punish those traitorous clansmen?
"Hmph!" Seeing his panic, Ancestor Xuanyuan said coldly, "Floating Life City was built by my own hands! Now that they've entered Floating Life City, do you really think I have no way to take their lives?"
Upon hearing this, the Xuanyuan family head was overjoyed: "Ancestor, you must teach them a lesson!"
On the other side, Tian Ning hurriedly fed Xuan Yuan Cheng a life-saving medicine after the Xuan Yuan Ancestor's soul left his body.
She made the right bet; that old man was terrified of death and wouldn't dare risk his life.
Although Jianjian couldn't kill Xuanyuan Hengzhi's soul directly, it could inflict immense pain on those who had committed evil deeds, to the point that it was worse than death.
Only one soul has left; there is still another soul within Xuanyuan Cheng's body, and no one knows what the outcome will be.
The healing pill worked very well; the wound healed quickly, and Xuan Yuancheng was no longer in mortal danger.
But when Tianning opened her eyes again and met those bright eyes, she knew he was gone.
"Xiao Cheng..."
Xuan Yuanqing rushed over from not far away and saw that the ancestor had regained consciousness! Did that mean that Xiao Cheng also...?
“Xuanyuan Qing, don’t come any closer,” Tian Ning said bluntly, “He is not Xuanyuan Cheng.”
The young man's brow twitched slightly, a distinct smile playing on his lips. His gaze lingered on her for a long time, as if he were basking in the gentle moonlight, his eyes sparkling: "I know you can recognize me, Tianning."
Tianning: "..."
That scrunched-up look in his eyes is kind of disgusting.
Compared to the spirited young man he once was, the smile on his face now carries a hint of wickedness.
Xuan Yuanqing was stunned: "You killed Xiao Cheng..."
Tianqi chuckled softly, "This is what he owes me."
"He's just a coward who runs away, unwilling to face the cruel reality, but I won't."
"Since he's afraid and doesn't want to face it, then let him go. I'm doing this to help him."
That's just sophistry!
Just as Xuan Yuanqing was about to make a move in a fit of rage, a dark red transparent barrier suddenly appeared in the sky above Fusheng City, enveloping the entire city.
"What is that?" a trusted aide asked.
"It's a security formation that our ancestor specially set up to protect the people of Floating Life City," a member of the Xuanyuan clan said. "Outsiders can't get in, and we can't get out either..."
No one knows why the Ancestor Xuanyuan activated the formation at this time.
Everyone was puzzled, but Tianqi's expression changed.
"Tianning! I'll take you away from here!"
The unease and worry on Tianqi's face seemed genuine; his brows were furrowed, and he anxiously tried to pull Tianning away.
Tianning dodged his touch and asked, "What did Xuanyuan Hengzhi do?"
"That's not a safety formation to protect Floating Life City at all; it's a backup plan he left for himself! If an accident happens, as long as the formation is activated, all living things in Floating Life City will become his sacrifices, greatly increasing his cultivation!"
Tianqi said, "Don't worry, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. That old beast has left himself more than one way out."
"I know where he painstakingly set up the teleportation array; it should be enough for the two of them to escape!"
If it were someone else, they might have agreed.
"No need," Tianning refused. "You take Xuanyuan Qing with you."
Tian Ning turned around, but heard Tian Qi's urgent voice beside her: "Tian Ning!"
For a moment, her body stiffened, as if something invisible was trying to forcefully control her...
Yan Xiu!
This is the second Yan Xiu that Tianning has encountered besides Ye Yiyi. No wonder the Xuanyuan family head suddenly made an incomprehensible move back then; so that's how it is.
They took away his hands and feet, but they never imagined that his most terrifying weapon was his mouth!
Tianqi said, "Tianning, come here! Come with me, I'll take you away from here!"
He was always confident in his abilities, and even the head of the Xuanyuan family had fallen into his hands. But this time, he did not get what he wanted.
The person being held broke free of his restraints. Tianning did not turn back, and his words had no effect!
"How could this be..."
