Ning Luo Takes Action!

The moment he said this, everyone turned their eyes toward Ning Luo.

"Little brother, can you refine Qingfeng Powder?" a villager asked.

Ning Luo smiled faintly. "If I couldn't even make Qingfeng Powder, how could I call myself an Alchemist?"

The moment the words "Alchemist" were spoken, everyone stared at Ning Luo in utter astonishment.

Qingshan Town was only a small town. It had never produced an Alchemist.

Now, an Alchemist had come to Qingshan Town—and one only fourteen or fifteen years old at that. How could they not be shocked? Ning Luo continued, "Don't worry, everyone. If you need Qingfeng Powder, I can refine it and give it to you directly. There'll be enough for everyone!"

At that moment, the entire crowd erupted, cheering wildly.

They had finally grasped a lifeline. How could they not be happy? But just then—

Xiao Yi Xian's voice suddenly rang out. "Ning Luo, be careful!"

At that instant, a powerful aura enveloped Ning Luo, and the pressure of an Eight-Star Dou Practitioner burst forth.

How could Ning Luo not know that doing this would drive Mr. Yao into a corner? Yet he had done it anyway.

If he wanted to save Xiao Yi Xian and all the residents of Qingshan Town, the best way was to kill Mr. Yao. Otherwise, this enormous leech would one day drain the entire town dry.

What he intended was to cut the weeds and pull out the roots!

Mr. Yao was an Eight-Star Dou Practitioner, but Ning Luo was not afraid in the slightest.

In his previous life, he had read the original novel. After Xiao Yan devoured the Green Lotus Core Flame, he had dared to fight Yun Shan with a Buddha's Rage Fire Lotus. Ning Luo's Fire Control Art was no weaker than Xiao Yan's Flame Mantra—could he not even overcome an opponent two or three levels above him?

At once, Mr. Yao's overwhelming pressure bore down on Ning Luo.

Mr. Yao's face darkened as a surge of gray Dou Qi erupted from him. With a long sword in hand, he slashed down at Ning Luo.

A streak of gray Dou Qi struck the ground.

Boom! A massive crack split open across the ground and surged toward Ning Luo.

"Fuck."

Ning Luo cursed as Proximity to Horizon activated. He stepped into the air and soared upward, evading the attack.

Mr. Yao truly deserved to be called an Eight-Star Dou Practitioner. His strength was indeed formidable, though it still fell somewhat short of Ning Luo's expectations.

He could still handle an attack of this level! Ning Luo formed a sword seal with his fingers as he hovered in the air and calmly uttered, "Crimson Flame Splendor!"

A massive sword art descended from the sky, rushing toward Mr. Yao.

The powerful sword art carried extremely violent destructive force. Seeing it descend, Mr. Yao was greatly alarmed. He could not believe that such a powerful sword art had been unleashed by a child of merely fourteen or fifteen.

He did not dare take it head-on and could only dodge repeatedly. "What powerful Dou Qi. It seems you must possess an excellent cultivation art!" A sinister smile appeared on Mr. Yao's face.

"Since you've ruined my plans, I might as well kill you and seize your cultivation art. By the time the Misty Cloud Sect arrives, I'll already be long gone. Heh heh."

His expression turned exceptionally sinister. He had not dared touch Ning Luo before because he feared the Misty Cloud Sect.

But Ning Luo had driven him into a dead end. With no way left to retreat, he could only risk everything. If he killed Ning Luo, seized his cultivation art, and fled elsewhere, there might still be a sliver of hope.

Thus, he had already made up his mind to kill Ning Luo! "Heh heh, brat, die!"

"High Yellow Rank Dou Skill—Sword Wind Art!"

At once, the long sword in his hand swept through the air, releasing a streak of sword Qi.

Powerful force filled heaven and earth as wave after wave of energy surged forth. A pale, chilling sword Qi split through the air and slashed toward Ning Luo.

"Oh, you want to compete with me in swordsmanship?" Ning Luo smiled. He immediately used his fingers as a sword and released a streak of green sword Qi.

Low Profound Rank Dou Skill, Azure Wood Sword Art!

The two surges of Dou Qi collided, and powerful sword Qi erupted across the field.

Boom! A violent explosion rang out, filling the area with dust and smoke.

A powerful gale swept outward.

The villagers standing at the front were directly knocked over by the gale and sent tumbling to the ground. "What powerful sword Qi!" everyone exclaimed.

Xiao Yi Xian stood to one side, clutching her sleeve tightly as she watched the center of the field in worry.

She did not know when it had begun, but Ning Luo had come to control her emotions, and her gaze could no longer leave him. This boy, about the same age as her, had always helped and saved her whenever she faced difficulties.

She did not want anything to happen to him!

The smoke and dust gradually dispersed.

The figures of the two men slowly emerged.

Mr. Yao had been forced back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Yet Ning Luo still stood where he was, dressed in spotless white, not a speck of dust on him! H-how was this possible?

"So strong!" The townspeople stared at Ning Luo in utter shock, unable to believe it.

This young man had actually managed to shake even Mr. Yao, an Eight-Star Dou Practitioner!

"How is that possible?"

"Mr. Yao actually lost?" The guards were stunned. They all knew that Mr. Yao was an Eight-Star Dou Practitioner, while Ning Luo was only a young man. Yet he had been able to confront Mr. Yao head-on?

Mr. Yao was equally astonished. How could this brat be so powerful? Once again, he became certain that Ning Luo was extraordinary.

But the more extraordinary Ning Luo was, the better his cultivation arts and Dou Skills had to be.

If he cultivated those arts and skills himself, he would surely become even stronger! He had no way out now. He could only kill Ning Luo! "Brat, you forced my hand!"

As he spoke, Mr. Yao rose to his feet and formed a sword seal with his hand. A powerful aura erupted from him.

"High Yellow Rank Dou Skill—Hurricane Sword Pressure!"
