Three Killed in Succession, Cultivation Breakthrough
The Star-Picking Finger was the first epic-level reward Chen Ning obtained.
Its power is evident.
However, due to limitations in his cultivation level, he was unable to unleash the final two moves.
Later, after his cultivation level improved, many opponents were no longer worth him using the Star-Picking Finger technique on.
Often, other methods can easily defeat the opponent.
Today, however, they face three Half-Step Martial Venerable.
Chen Ning was also burning with fighting spirit.
The gloomy old man was shocked to see that Chen Ning's power could even contend with two Half-Step Martial Venerable.
They dared not continue watching.
Instead, they launched the most insidious psychological attack.
They surged toward Chen Ning like lightning.
However, at this time...
Suddenly, a Jinglei sound resounded within the ancient hall.
"Four Fingers Sever the Star River!"
A deafening roar echoed through the ancient hall.
Four fingers, imbued with boundless power, surged across the sky.
A galaxy, formed by the convergence of countless stars, stretches across the void.
This moment.
The old man, shrouded in gloom, felt his liver and gallbladder rupture in an instant.
Infinitely close to death.
But he remained completely still.
The next moment, his body was split in two by the dazzling starlight cleaved by the four fingers.
He died on the spot.
"Scare!"
"What terrifying martial arts!"
Mo Lin was shocked to see this and frantically rushed away into the distance.
Lu Yuan merely agreed to let them share in the Saint's legacy, but that was contingent on them being alive to enjoy it...
Mo Lin felt that dragging it out any longer...
They are certain to die.
But to his horror, he discovered that a deadly aura had already locked onto him.
Endless starlight fell.
Mo Lin frantically activated his protective True Essence to resist, using all his life-saving techniques one after another, but still could not stop the starlight power that was about to sever everything.
"Aaaaaah!!"
Mo Lin was sliced in two by the starlight.
He was completely lifeless.
Both men were killed in battle.
Qin Ling knew that at this point, fleeing would also mean certain death.
It's better to fight to the death.
There is still a glimmer of hope.
It's a bit of a sad story.
He, a Half-Step Martial Venerable, was actually afraid of someone at the Earth Martial Ninth Level Realm.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
There wasn't even time for Lu Yuan to react.
They had already witnessed Chen Ning kill the Shadow Elder and Mo Lin, the sect leader of the Demon Snake Sect.
The Qin Ling itself is also in dire need of protection.
I was just about to fight to the death.
"Sect Leader Qin, I miscalculated. I didn't expect this young sect leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect to be so strong, causing the deaths of two brothers. Now, I, Lu, will personally send you on your way!"
Qin Ling's gaze also darkened, and he nodded.
Cries and screams rang out.
Several more faces appeared behind him.
Just how many innocent civilians did this guy kill?
Chen Ning's brow twitched violently, and his fifth finger snapped out.
Five fingers forming a palm.
A storm of Essence Power forms.
"Five Fingers Shatter the Firmament!"
The five fingers converged into a breathtaking pillar of starlight, as if to tear the heavens and earth apart.
Soaring through the clouds.
Qin Ling was facing such a terrifying attack.
Their faces immediately showed horror, and the faces that had just gathered Annihilation in an instant.
Including the entire Qin Ling.
It was also pierced by countless starlight.
This moment.
Lu Yuan, who was about to make a move, was also taken aback.
They hurriedly retreated.
Faced with such powerful martial arts.
He had no choice but to retreat.
Because he sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from that attack.
Even though he had already advanced to the Martial Venerable.
But if they are affected...
It would be difficult for them to escape.
Finally.
The power of the starlight gradually subsided.
But at this moment, all three Half-Step Martial Venerable had already perished in battle.
With the Earth Martial Ninth Level, he forcefully killed three Half-Step Martial Venerable.
This record.
It was absolutely dazzling.
But Chen Ning was also almost completely exhausted as a result.
Although he possessed Twin Qi Seas, using five moves in a row consumed an enormous amount of his vital energy.
"Sect Leader Chen, you are abnormally strong. If you were at your peak, even I, Lu, might not be able to stop you. But in your current state, you can only wait to die..."
Lu Yuan glanced at Li Changtian standing to the side.
At this moment, Sword Intent flowed around Li Changtian's body.
Even with his eyes tightly closed, his eyeballs kept moving.
It seems we've reached a critical moment.
Lu Yuan dared not delay any longer.
He thrust his sword forward.
He then decided to end Chen Ning's life.
However, at this critical moment...
The system notification sounded promptly.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the epic quest [Exploring the Sword Saint's Cave Abode]!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a basic reward; your cultivation has advanced to the Half-Step Martial Venerable."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the rare-level reward [Sword Heart Barrier]"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a rare reward [One Fragment of the Heaven-Slaying Sword]!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the epic reward [Heaven-Sealing Instruction]!"
I haven't even had time to check the triple rewards yet.
Chen Ning smiled and said, "Finally, the wait is over..."
Wow!
The Essence Power within his body increased rapidly.
Chen Ning's robes billowed, his body suddenly trembled, and his domineering True Essence Power burst forth, soaring straight into the sky.
His aura had also reached the level of Half-Step Martial Venerable.
"What?! He actually broke through?"
Lu Yuan's face was filled with shock.
To be able to break through at this point, what kind of freak is this?
But Lu Yuan had already rushed over and thrust his sword towards Chen Ning's chest.
At this moment, even if the opponent breaks through, there is absolutely no way to dodge this sword strike.
Lu Yuan's sword pierced through in an instant.
The simplest of sword strikes, yet it contains the power of death.
Lu Yuan comprehended the Death Sword Intent, and when using the same sword moves, his destructive power far exceeded that of sword cultivators of the same level.
But then...
In front of Chen Ning.
A golden barrier formed, and Lu Yuan's sword was directly shattered by the barrier.
Lu Yuan quickly regained his footing.
But I'm still shaken.
"What a tough nut to crack!" he muttered to himself.
Chen Ning smiled and said, "Taking advantage of someone's unpreparedness just now is nothing. Now, you and I can fight head-on."
At this moment, Chen Ning was facing a genuine One-Star Martial Venerable.
But they showed no fear.
Instead, he was filled with intense fighting spirit.
The barrier that just formed was his newly acquired rare-level reward, the Sword Heart Barrier.
A defensive technique powered by the Exquisite Sword Heart.
It can even block the sword of Martial Venerable.
Chen Ning's confidence soared at this moment.
"Since you are a swordsman, I will kill you with my sword as well."
Chen Ning laughed heartily as Moon-Slaying Sword in his hand.
Seeing this scene...
Lu Yuan, sitting opposite him, felt his heart skip a beat.
As a sword cultivator, he had naturally heard of the legend of the Moon-Slaying Sword.
Unexpectedly, this Divine Artifact was actually in the hands of the leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect.
"I never expected such an unexpected gain today; I am truly grateful!"
Lu Yuan sneered, then stepped into the void.
The Death Sword Intent surged forth.
"Sect Leader Chen, if you were Martial Venerable, with your Divine Artifact, the Moon-Slaying, I, Lu, would be no match for you and would only be able to run away in fear. But unfortunately... even if you break through, you are only Half-Step Martial Venerable. So... let me let you experience the difference between us!"
