Upon hearing the remark of Suqiu, not only did Purple Yin Old Devil’s countenance turn gloomy, but also the sect master of Heavenly Dao Sect, Tian Yizi, whose face had become stern.
Because even in the mid-ranked Cultivation Country like Wu Country, he had heard a lot about the ‘Great Void Double Zi’ of Great Void Sect.
They were Zhong Xuanzi and Bei Hongzi. If these two really were going to bring an army and meddle in today’s matter, even if they could take down Ning City, they would suffer a major loss.
Tian Yizi hesitated in his heart. Apart from the trace of fellowship between him and Purple Yin that made him agree to Purple Yin to seize Ning City, there was also a second reason – Purple Yin Old Devil also promised to give him one Nascent Formation Pill. It didn’t matter if he were to annihilate a mere Ning City for this pill, but if he had to face the number one righteous sect of Yue Country – the Great Void Sect – for one Nascent Formation Pill, then it wouldn’t be worth the loss.
Although it wasn’t easy to acquire a Nascent Formation Pill in Wu Country, there were still other ways to get it…
Tian Yizi’s eyes sparkled. Suddenly, the blood-red compass on his waist shook violently.
This was the Suspending Corpse Compass. It was a magical treasure used to search for Refined Corpses, however if it encountered a high grade Refined Corpse, it would shake slightly.
Today, when he was so close to Ning City, this compass trembled intensely all of a sudden. Did that mean that there was a high grade corpse in Ning City?!
The Suspending Corpse Compass could also determine the level of the corpse before its death. The highest level the compass could determine was a peak Nascent Soul corpse…but this time, the needle on top of the compass was rotating intensely. That was to say that there was a corpse beyond the level of Nascent Soul realm in Ning City…
“The corpse of a Spirit Severing cultivator?!”
In an instant, Tian Yizi’s eyes revealed ruthlessness. If he offended Great Void Sect only for the sake of one Nascent Formation Pill, it wouldn’t be worth it at all! But if it was for the sake of a Spirit Severing corpse…no matter what happened today, he would break into Ning City and search for that corpse!
Tian Yizi contemplated. Given his physique, if he could obtain the corpse of a Spirit Severing cultivator, there would be a chance for him to break through to Spirit Severing realm in this life! And once he had broken through that realm, he would be able to conquer the entire Wu Country!
Being driven by the desire of profit, he was no longer afraid of the so-called Great Void Sect whereas Purple Yin Old Devil was still hesitating and thinking about how he should deal with Great Void Sect. Suddenly, Tian Yizi leaped out of the ship with the huge coffin behind his back and rushed towards Suqiu Xianzi with a sneering smile.
He patted the storage pouch and produced a black-gold brick.
“Hehe, this is a matter between our sects and Ning City. You’d better not interfere in this, Suqiu Xianzi. Or else, we won’t be lenient to you!”
Tian Yizi held back his strength by only exerting ninety percent of his magical force on this brick. He only wanted to deter Great Void Sect and didn’t intend to take Suqiu’s life. If Suqiu was heavily injured, perhaps that would make Great Void Sect give up on helping Ning City due to fear. But if Suqiu was killed…Great Void Sect would lose one Old Ancestor and would certainly be infuriated. Then, this major sect would surely declare a life-or-death battle on them!
When the brick was launched out, Purple Yin Old Devil raised an eyebrow and felt slightly surprised that the outsider, Tian Yizi, would make a move even before he did.
As for Suqiu, she frowned when she saw this. Both of them were ancestor level figures, but Suqiu’s magical force was much weaker than Tian Yizi. This black-gold brick was a peak high-grade magical treasure that was only a step away from supreme grade, and had incredible power. But since Suqiu Xianzi had decided to help Ning City, she naturally wouldn’t be frightened by such magical treasure.
In her point of view, even if she couldn’t fight Tian Yizi, it wouldn’t be easy for Tian Yizi to defeat her. She only needed to hold on until her two senior brothers came. With three of them joining forces, there was nothing to fear about one mere Tian Yizi!
The black-gold brick radiated thousands of rays of black light. It then turned into a 300 meter small mountain that let out rumbling sound and fell from above Suqiu.
Immediately, after the mountain peak radiated out a layer of earth light, the summit that was formed by the magical treasure was enlarged by thirty percent!
“This is Earth Spirit Divine Ability!” Purple Yin Old Devil’s eyes were slightly filled with dread. The Earth Spirit Divine Ability was a special ability in the Spirit Augmentation Divine Ability. It could be used to improve the power of earth attribute magical treasures. The degree of improvement would be base on the Spirit Iron of the Spirit Augmentation Divine Ability.
This black-gold brick was originally not far away from supreme grade. After attaching the Earth Spirit Divine Ability to it, its power was increased by another 30%. He was afraid that it was even on par with an ordinary supreme grade magical treasure now.
Upon seeing such majestic power, the elders and disciples of Extreme Yin Gate revealed fearful expression. As for those disciples of Heavenly Dao Sect which was less than half of the total, their face was expressionless and their Qi became strange.
The mere magical force that was emitted by the mountain peak hit Suqiu’s chest, forcing her to step backwards. Her blood and Qi churned chaotically inside her. Secretly, she was shocked by the power of the magical treasure. This helped her gain a better understanding of Tian Yizi’s strength, however. She certainly wasn’t a match for Tian Yizi! Nevertheless, she might still be able to stall for time…
Suqiu patted her storage pouch, and took out a piece of golden Immortal Talisman and tossed it high up. She made an incantation gesture and the golden talisman instantly turned into a gold light. It split into innumerable golden strands, spreading across all directions, intertwining with the mountain peak. Then, Suqiu revealed her fragrant shoulders. A pair of purple butterfly wings sprouted out of it.
Her hand waved and a crystal bracelet appeared in her palm. With the blow of wind, it turned into a large crystal ring. This ring was Suqiu Xianzi’s Natal Magical Weapon. It was a high-grade-high-level magical treasure named Water-like Ring!
The purple wings fluttered, but there was a strange spiritual Qi that curled around her and she disappeared without a trace in a flash. In an instant, she travelled across thousands of meters and appeared 300 meters behind Tian Yizi, and cast out the Water-like Ring!
The ability to travel thousands of meters within a short amount of time, clearly, could only be mastered by a Nascent Soul expert…It was the Instant Movement!
From withstanding the black-gold mountain peak to sprouting out a pair of wings, and to instantly appearing behind Tian Yizi to launch an attack, all of these happened within seconds. These fast adaptive moves were enough to tell that although Suqiu Xianzi was a female, she was worthy of being the Old Ancestor of Great Void Sect. Her means were astonishing!
Tian Yizi was secretly surprised, knowing that he had underestimated Suqiu and that it wouldn’t be easy to deter this woman.
But facing the attack of the Water-like Ring from behind, he showed no sign of fear, but only a light, cold sneer.
“Profound Jade Instant Movement Spirit Equipment. A high-grade-high-level magical treasure… You are considered not bad as a woman, but since you don’t want the path to life, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
When the Water-like Ring hit the center of his back, the lid of the black-jade coffin shook. A slit was torn open on its surface. A rotten and stinking arm that flashed unusual blood light stuck out of the opening and clawed at the Water-like Ring.
The formidable high-grade-high-level magical treasure was easily caught by the hand and crushed violently into fragments of crystal!
The magical treasure was destroyed. Suqiu who was 300 meters away immediately felt the backlash and spurted out a mouthful of blood, staining her luo shan*.
Her gaze showed disbelief. Her high-grade-high-level magical treasure had just been crushed. What actually was hidden inside that black-jade coffin?!
Tian Yizi spun, his vertical eye shone a desolate blood-light as it stared at Suqiu. Immediately, Suqiu felt a sense of danger in her heart. Her shoulders became shaky. Her butterfly wings fluttered, bringing her thousands of meters away from the scene.
“That vertical eye of Tian Yizi…what kind of power was that…? If I was a step slower, I would surely be dead…”
Suqiu’s heart palpitated, feeling somewhat afraid of Tian Yizi. Although Tian Yizi only had the cultivation base of a half-step Nascent Soul realm, his methods was too unfathomable. She was afraid that he could even fight an early Nascent Soul Old Monster…
Not just Suqiu, but also Purple Yin Old Devil narrowed his eyes in fright.
“There’s something wrong with this Tian Yizi…ten years ago, he was never as good…whatever, this man isn’t my enemy today. In any case, the top priority is to take down Ning City! The longer we delay, the higher the probability that the two old man of Great Void Sect will come. At that time, it will be…”
Thoughts raced in Purple Yin Old Devil’s mind. All of a sudden, his expression darkened and he lifted his head.
As for Tian Yizi, his intent to kill faded when he saw Suqiu fleeing and sneered at her from afar. Then out of nowhere, two rays of light flew towards them.
“These two old geezers have come at last…but, it doesn’t seem like they have come here to hinder us…” Tian Yizi smiled coldly. By using some kind of technique, his vertical eye flashed and the golden strand that bound the black-gold mountain peak instantly dissolve to nothingness. With another wave of spell, the small mountain turned into a black-gold brick and returned to his hand.
Scenes of earth-shaking combat techniques stirred the Three Black Demon Armies.
Although fear was stirred inside of them, there was even more excitement. That year under the lead of the old devil, they had faced countless battles like this!
But Nangong’s order was to be just on alert and stay put.
“Four armies of Ning City, listen up! Do not attack until you see reinforcements!” In the city-protection formation light, Nangong’s eyes were stern as he commanded.
Doubts were seen in each of the guard’s eyes. They knew that there was a great war, but didn’t know that the enemy would be this powerful. Now that they were told that there were reinforcements, the only ally they could think of besides the Seven Apricot Four Families was Sinister Sparrow Sect. Could it be that the Sinister Sparrow Sect would come to their aid?
But, if this Suqiue Xianzi is in danger…should I save her or not…
Nangong hesitated in his heart. Looking at how the Old Ancestor of Great Void Sect defended Ning City by confronting the two great devil sects, he wouldn’t believe it if someone said that she had nothing to do with Ning Fan.
From this point of view, there was no choice but to save her…
…
After fluttering her wings twice, she gasped. Her face turned pale. A trace of blood trickled down the corner of her lips.
The Instant Movement was merely the divine ability attached to the Profound Jade Spirit Equipment. Its power was far from being the same as the power of Instant Movement of a true Nascent Soul expert, plus the consumption of magical energy for such a spell was astonishing.
She had used the Instant Movement twice. One was when she launched the Water-like Ring to attack. The second was when she fled away from the stare of the vertical eye of Tian Yizi. More than half of her magical strength had already been expended. Tian Yizi, on the other hand, still seemed as composed as before. The difference between the two was just too great!
“I’m afraid that I won’t be able to save Ning City with me alone…Senior Brothers should be here by now…”
While Suqiu was in a state of discomposure, she suddenly sensed something and then revealed a smile of relief.
The two Qi that emerged in the sky above Ning City weren’t weaker than Suqiu!
“Senior Brothers, quickly join forces with me to control this devil!” Suqiu regained her composure. With the presence of her two senior brothers, Tian Yizi might be defeated!
But these two old men who had just hurried here spoke something that would give Suqiu a slap on her face.
“Fellow friend of Wu Country, this was the idea of my Junior Sister alone. It has nothing to do with the Great Void Sect. She has been reckless. I hope that fellow friend can be magnanimous enough to forgive her!”
Zhong Xuanzi and Bei Hongzi’s eyes were filled with dread as they looked deeply at Tian Yizi.
The third vertical eye, black-jade coffin and the arm the crushed the magical treasure…all of these made Zhong Xuanzi fear someone for the first time in his life.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this Tian Yizi most likely was…
“Junior Sister! Come along with me and return to the sect fast!” Zhong Xuanzi rebuked. Great Void Sect could never get entangled in today’s matter!
