Life Soul, Fifth Rank; Parasitic Vine Armor; Old Liu Makes His Move! (8K)
From March 28th to April 5th, Zhao Xing fought nine battles.
The match with the most participants involved was a six-person attack.
From the fifth day of the fourth lunar month to the fifteenth day, six battles took place in ten days.
The largest number of participants was twelve people attacking each other.
April 15th to May 1st.
Zhao Xing only participated in three battles.
The most intense battle was fought among thirty Sixth Rank!
But for the next two weeks, no further battles took place.
Because their reputation has already been established!
Even disregarding his relationship with Liu Tianning, Zhao Xing's own strength is still enough to make people wary!
Why throw the fight away when you can't win? The rest of the exploration team aren't that stupid.
Thirty Sixth Rank soldiers in five squads couldn't do anything to Zhao Xing, and he even killed more than half of them. How could they possibly win?
Therefore, from May 1st to May 16th, Zhao Xing spent half a month in peace.
He also focused on catching the magical fish in the sea.
"Based on my past life experience, if Fate Soul wants to break through to the Fifth Grade, it needs to consume at least 1,500 Yin Yang Fish."
"I've already eaten 1,043 of them," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"If my Fate Soul breaks through to the Fifth Grade, my various spells will be able to advance further."
"These days, I've caught more than just Yin Yang Fish."
"We ate quite a lot of other fish as well."
"Of the five elements, fire, water, and metal have already been gathered, leaving only Wood Luck and earth elements."
"However, it doesn't matter if the Wood Luck and Earth elements don't gather in the Eternal Night Sea."
"If one can break through to the Fifth Grade the Fate Soul, then the only benefit of the Eternal Night Sea will be the Dragon Whale. Everything else will be dispensable."
Zhao Xing made a few calculations with his fingers, and then his Ten Thousand Laws Clone sailed a flying boat to send the excess spirit fish to Night Fortress.
He and Xia Jing are now acting separately, mainly because his hatred level is too high. If they stay together, it will be inconvenient and affect Xia Jing and Chen Shijie's collection of spiritual essence.
They're here to reap benefits, not to fight.
Decentralized operations are more efficient!
After all, with the presence of [Water Immortal] and [Fish Devouring Grass], their efficiency is much faster than that of ordinary teams.
Night Fortress, the Ten Thousand Laws Tower Ship.
Zhao Xing piloted a flying boat and began unloading the fish.
"Swish swish swish swish~~"
Several figures suddenly appeared on the Tower Ship.
Besides Ji Ziyun and Murong Xue, there are nine others.
They were all members of the "Liu Tianning Exploration Group," and were basically people who joined with the approval of Liu Tianning or Zhao Xing.
"Senior Brother, so many again this time?" Ji Ziyun's eyes sparkled. It was simply because there were so many fish reflecting light.
"Okay." Zhao Xing nodded. "You can choose whatever you want to eat."
"Thank you for feeding me, Senior Brother ~" Ji Ziyun walked over to the fish pond with a smile, reached out and picked out a batch of fish from the categorized fish pond.
"Thank you, Lord Zhao." Murong Xue had become increasingly reserved, but since she was second in line to choose the fish, no one dared to object.
After Murong Xue and Ji Ziyun made their choices.
Then three acquaintances came over.
Han Bing, Feng Qi, Cai Jin.
"Brother Zhao, thank you." Feng Qi and Cai Jin cupped their hands in thanks.
"It was all arranged by your teacher," Zhao Xing joked. "I was just a porter."
As for why Han Bing also came here, it's mainly because Han Bing has also had her own opportunities in the past few days.
Once, Zhao Xing and Han Bing encountered a mysterious "Myriad Forms Underground Palace" in the treasure land of Earthly Advantage Institute, the "Seventy-Two Earth Palaces".
Zhao Xing comprehended the dual-method [Divine Swift Guard] from this Myriad Forms Underground Palace.
Han Bing, on the other hand, comprehended the [Extreme Cold Earth Palace].
The master of the Myriad Forms Underground Palace was Marquis Martial Marquis, whose real name was Gong Tiansi.
When Han Bing was rewarded for his service during the truce, his Official Rank also rose to the Lower Sub-Sixth Rank.
After his Grotto-Heaven was upgraded, he was stuck in Yang City and couldn't leave, so he went to study the Seventy-Two Earth Palaces, where he was noticed by Marquis Martial Marquis.
In early April, they found a spot for Han Bing. He didn't join the group, but instead used connections to get him into Liu Tianning's group to get some benefits.
"I have some good news," Han Bing whispered as she selected the spirit fish. "Wang the Engineer went to Scarlet Lake as a mid-level explorer and reportedly had a very good haul. He has now been noticed by a large group and promoted to Senior Explorer."
"Oh?" Zhao Xing said, "That's right, just as he said, craftsmen can find work anywhere."
In fact, if Zhao Xing could form his own team, he would definitely name Han Bing Wang Ji, but Liu Tianning drew a line for him. In exchange for a spot, they would both have to be senior Martial Marquis or kings.
So far, Zhao Xing has only used eight slots, leaving six unused, and he is still picking and choosing.
"Thanks." After making her selection, Han Bing went to her room.
"Brother, thanks to you." A round-faced young man cupped his hands in greeting. His name was Liu Cheng'an, the youngest son of Xin King Liu Yong.
"Your Heir Apparent, there's no need for Guest Qi."
"Thank you, Zhao Shennong." Another middle-aged woman dressed in a seven-colored robe approached and bowed. "Giving a man a fish is a kindness as great as giving him a second life."
"Madam Ya, you flatter me." Zhao Xing looked at the noblewoman. "It is my honor to be able to help Madam Ya."
Madam Ya came from the Weaving Girl Noble Family, and she was originally married quite well.
However, her husband had just died, and she became a widow.
She had no sons and could not inherit the Nobility Title, so she had to guard the vast family fortune herself.
Zhao Xing was dividing the fish below, while Princess Youruo was on the high platform, holding a pot of wine and watching with a bored expression.
"Liu Lang, your disciple is truly considerate."
"I've been slacking off for so many days, and I haven't bothered you even once."
"Yes, he is indeed quite good." Liu Tianning smiled slightly when Zhao Xing was mentioned.
Judging from Zhao Xing's record alone, it is clear that Zhao Xing has made rapid progress in recent days!
In particular, the Straw Man Art figures has increased from eighteen to thirty-six!
"He gained valuable experience, didn't tarnish your reputation, and managed to handle relationships with all parties effectively."
"You're much less of a worry than you were when you were younger."
"Back then, it made Luo Hou so anxious he was jumping up and down."
Princess Youruo covered her mouth and laughed.
"Why bring up old stories?"
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it." Princess Youruo placed one hand on Liu Tianning's chest and brought the delicate jade teapot spout to Liu Tianning lips. "Let's drink."
"I won't drink it."
"Drink it, drink it~"
"..."
Liu Tianning could only take a symbolic sip.
A slight smile appeared on You Ruo's lips.
"That Zhao Xing is a real headache." On the Dragon-Scale Warship, Xing Ming, clad in black and gold armor and a long sword at his waist, reviewed the intelligence report. "He keeps loitering on the edge of our designated area!"
"In just over a month, more than fifty members have died at his hands."
Xing Ming was also very troubled.
He was wary of Liu Tianning's actions and kept his alliance members in check, avoiding provoking Zhao Xing.
However, there were always people who provoked Zhao Xing.
As a result, more and more people died.
Instead, it cemented Zhao Xing's reputation as an invincible Sixth Rank official.
"The men below wouldn't listen, and there was nothing we could do." A burly, square-faced man standing nearby, carrying a massive purple axe, said, "They've quieted down a bit now, knowing he's not someone to mess with."
"Keep a close eye on the Fifth Grade- rank members of the group," Xing Ming said. "No one is allowed to provoke Zhao Xing. Anyone found doing so will be immediately expelled!"
"Since we've angered Liu Tianning, we're done for. We can cancel our trip to Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven now."
"Understood." The burly man with the giant axe nodded. "I believe no one would be foolish."
"Young Master, we've harvested another 50,000 catties of spirit fish today," the strategist reported to Pei Yuanchang on the ship. "We also have 401 Yin -Yin Yang Fish."
"Very well, very well." Pei Yuanchang chuckled. "Quickly deliver it to Liu Tianning's Ten Thousand Laws Tower Ship as agreed."
"Yes."
Pei Yuanchang looked at the list of winners and was very happy.
Since he got on Liu Tianning's good side, his output has increased dramatically!
At first, we only caught a little over a thousand catties of fish every day, but now we catch fifty thousand catties of fish every day!
There are also magical entities like the Yin Yang Fish that can enhance one's Fate Soul.
"How is Marquis Yuan Rang?" Pei Yuanchang asked. "Is he safe and sound?"
"Young Master, the most recent message from Marquis Yuan Rang was sent half an hour ago. His exact location is in the northwest of the Dark Stone Coral Reef." The subordinate pointed to the nautical chart. "However, Marquis Yuan Rang is always unpredictable; he might have gone somewhere else by now."
Zhao Xing's strength has greatly increased, and his clones are now more mobile.
Strike and run, try to minimize the risk.
"Young Master, shall we send someone to Marquis Yuan Rang?"
"Don't take it upon yourself to act," Pei Yuanchang said. "Can't you see? This is a test given to him by Liu Tianning."
"How can outsiders interfere?"
"If it's really just about finding talented individuals for my disciples, Liu Tianning could take over the entire Icefire Island."
"But he didn't do that. That means he didn't want others to interfere in Zhao Xing's affairs."
"We just need to do our part in the cooperation and not act on our own initiative."
"Yes, I understand."
On the Black Dragon Tower Ship.
The nineteenth prince, Ji Ye, stared at the intelligence report with a livid expression, "That bastard Liu Tianning has gone too far!"
"He just lets his disciples run rampant on my turf?!"
"I've already written to him, asking him to warn his disciples not to come east of the coral reef, but he hasn't responded at all!"
Ji Ye was very angry; he believed he had given Liu Tianning enough face.
During this month or so, his men did encounter Zhao Xing quite a few times.
Each time, he simply sent people to drive Zhao Xing away.
The heaviest blow he ever dealt was to destroy three of Zhao Xing's straw figures.
However, Liu Tianning and his apprentice did not respond at all, completely ignoring him and going about their business.
When has the dignified Liang King ever suffered such humiliation?
"He doesn't respect me at all! Qin Chongwu, Huangfu Song!"
"Your subordinates are here." The two Fifth Grade below immediately stood up.
"If we encounter Zhao Xing again, immediately dispatch Fifth Grade to arrest him!" Ji Ye said. "Have Liu Tianning personally come to ransom him!"
"Yes."
Zhao Xing was completely unaware of Ji Ye's anger.
Because Liu Tianning had never mentioned this to him at all.
Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't have restrained himself.
You want to eat it, and I want to eat it too!
How much is the face of the Liang King worth?
"This is it."
Zhao Xing used his Heaven's Eye Art to scan the depths of the sea. "There are Yin Yang Fish here. If I eat another fifty, my Fate Soul will be able to break through."
Zhao Xing stopped the Blood Shadow Flying Boat and then scattered the seeds of the Fish Devouring Grass.
"Splash!"
The waves swallow the Fish Devouring Grass seeds, carrying their scent far and wide, Water Immortal bloom in the sea.
Before long, several small black and white fish cautiously peeked out from the coral reef.
"They're here," Zhao Xing said expectantly. "Come quickly, come quickly."
He wasn't in a hurry to act; he waited patiently.
Three-quarters of an hour later.
At this moment, nearly a hundred Yin Yang Fish had gathered below Zhao Xing!
"If we start now, catching fifty will be no problem at all!"
Zhao Xing didn't hesitate any longer and immediately took action.
"Ten Thousand Miles Ice Seal!"
A pale blue light emanated from my fingertips.
As the light penetrated the seabed, the seawater froze at an extremely rapid pace.
This is a high-level technique that Zhao Xing comprehended after a month of internal observation of the twenty-four Solar Terms Diagram, with a breakthrough during the Great Cold solar term.
The Eternal Night Sea is indeed a good place to understand the winter seasons.
Zhao Xing's Five Elements Heaven is exceptionally high in the Water and Ice elements, as evidenced by his Water Drop Art.
Currently, the [Icebound Myriad Miles] spell has reached High-Level Fourth-Turn stage.
"Freeze!"
The moment the pale blue light entered the sea, the freezing effect spread rapidly.
The Yin Yang Fish's senses were originally very sharp, but it was tempted by the Fish Devouring Grass and the Water Immortal, and its reaction was a beat slower.
The Ice-Sealing Art quickly froze most of them, with only a small number escaping.
"Rise!"
Zhao Xing reached out and summoned a large block of ice from the seabed, which landed on the flying boat.
Eighty-one articles!
"That's enough."
Zhao Xing quickly thawed, his cheeks sunken, and he gently sucked.
All eighty-one Yin Yang Fish were swallowed.
"Buzz~"
A feeling of dizziness came from my mind.
Zhao Xing shook his head.
I felt like I was seeing double, as if the sky was full of Yin Yang Fish.
" With my Fate Soul breaking through to the Fifth Grade, my yin energy is overwhelming my yang energy, and my physical body can hardly contain it anymore," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The Fate Soul resides in the womb, and the physical body is like a house.
The problem is that the houses are too small and the people living in them are too big.
It creates a sense of confinement.
With his Fate Soul reaching the Fifth Grade, Zhao Xing found himself somewhat out of control and felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Point!"
Zhao Xing pointed a finger, splitting off a large amount of Fate Soul power and injecting it into the twelve Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet.
As the light emanating from the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet grew brighter, Zhao Xing finally felt at ease.
"Too many Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet will increase the burden on the Fate Soul."
"However, if the Fate Soul is too strong, it can be mitigated by the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet."
Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
This is equivalent to adding three bedrooms and a living room to the original house, which is an expansion.
Of course, such a situation is unlikely to occur in normal cultivation of the True Self Straw Puppet.
There will only be a shortage of straw men, not a shortage of Fate Soul are not strong enough.
"My twelve straw dolls are an enhanced version. They are much stronger than the other twenty-four. I estimate that each one has the combat power of an early Sixth Rank."
With the enhancement of the Fate Soul, the control over the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet increases significantly, and the number and level of spells it can contain also increase.
These twelve Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet clones are now capable of casting high-level spells.
However, its power is reduced. For example, the High-Level Fourth-Turn [Icebound Myriad Miles] is only at the high-level First-Turn level when cast by the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet.
Furthermore, there is a limit to the number of spells it can accommodate; even with enhancements, only two high-level spells can exist at the same time.
The remaining twenty-four bodies can still only use mid-level spells, but they have a large number of spells. Zhao Xing can use the mid-level spells he knew before, Ten Thousand Laws Clone.
"Thanks to the fact that I consumed a lot of vital energy and spiritual essence before, my physical body is comparable to that of Sixth Rank martial artist. I have already reached the point where my bones are golden and my marrow is silver, and my blood and qi flow like a river."
Although his Golden Bone was only recently formed and couldn't compare to genius martial artists like Xia Jing and Long Xiao Greater Mastery of Gold Bone it, Zhao Xing's physical strength was still extremely high.
"Now I can be called ' Martial Shennong '. Even in hand-to-hand combat, I could probably take down several martial artists in the early to mid-stages of the Sixth Rank."
Zhao Xing sat cross-legged on the flying boat, cultivating and adapting to the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet clone and the new changes after his breakthrough.
Because his Fate Soul has broken through to the Fifth Grade, his Heaven's Eye Art and Sleep Bug Art have reached the high-level Nine Turns!
All the other high-level techniques, none of which were below the Fourth-Turn, had all reached the "minor success" stage.
As Fate Soul grows stronger, one's understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth deepens. Enlightenment is primarily achieved through the Fate Soul's comprehension. Unless one is a martial artist, the strength of one's physical body has little to do with enlightenment.
The paths of martial arts practitioners differ greatly, with some focusing on physical training and unlocking the body's potential.
Just as Zhao Xing was comprehending the Dao, two flying boats were flying towards him from twenty nautical miles away.
When they were only ten nautical miles apart, Qin Chongwu and Huangfu Song discovered the existence of the Blood Shadow Flying Boat.
"Is that Zhao Xing?" Qin Chongwu asked.
"It should be him," Huangfu Song said. "The iconic Blood Shadow Flying Boat, with a straw man standing next to it, it must be him."
"Brother Huangfu, your swordsmanship is superb, and you have also cultivated the Vajra Body. You are the only one capable of capturing Zhao Xing," Qin Chongwu said.
Huangfu Song's face turned green. "Brother Qin, this isn't about killing him. Brother Qin's Thunder Pure Origin Body is fast. Who else but you can do the young master's job?"
"..."
Qin Chongwu and Huangfu Song looked at each other, neither of them wanting to take on this task.
However, they couldn't pretend they hadn't seen it, since there were other people on the airship. If they didn't do what Ji Ye had asked them to do, it would be even more troublesome.
After exchanging glances for a moment, Qin Chongwu said, "Brother Huangfu, there's no need for us to keep arguing. We're both serving the young master, so we can't escape it either. Let's do it together."
"Alright." Huangfu Song nodded. "Just by capturing him, Liu Tianning might not do anything to us."
"There's no time to lose, act swiftly."
Huangfu Song and Qin Chongwu quickly approached each other.
They deliberately concealed their presence and quickly and silently flew to within three thousand meters of Zhao Xing.
"Um?!"
Zhao Xing's Fate Soul suddenly issued a warning and looked up at the sky.
Using the Heaven's Eye Art, two blurry afterimages were seen; that was the effect of the Invisibility Robe.
Through the Invisibility robe, Zhao Xing sensed the incomparably pure primordial energy.
It is obvious that they are two Fifth Grade.
"Two Fifth Grade, targeting me?"
Zhao Xing immediately fled.
"We've been spotted? Don't run!"
Qin Chongwen and Huangfu Song immediately sped up.
If these two Fifth Grade can't even capture Zhao Xing, that would be too embarrassing.
Meanwhile, the clone on the Ten Thousand Laws Tower Ship immediately reported to Liu Tianning, "Teacher, two Rank Fifth Grade are chasing after this disciple!"
"Whoosh~"
Liu Tianning vanished from the Ten Thousand Laws Tower Ship in an instant.
The next moment, he appeared a kilometer away.
Golden Light flashed, and vines Entanglement Liu Tianning's body, as if a 'vine armor' had appeared!
If Zhao Xing could see this, he would be incredibly surprised.
Because the vine armor on Old Liu's body was actually an extremely rare Seventh Order ' Parasitic Seeds ' plant life form—'Floating Vine '.
Floating Roaming Heavens, reaching tens of thousands of meters in an instant!
It describes how the host uses its own body as a seed to nurture Duckweed, which can transform into companion vines that greatly increase the host's flight speed!
If it comes at the cost of consuming the life force of the Duckweed, this speed can be even faster!
"Someone's going to be in trouble." Princess Youruo held the jade pot, watching Liu Tianning's departing figure. "The Ten Thousand Laws Tower Ship is already so close to Icefire Island, and there are still people who don't believe he'll make a move?"
Princess Youruo took a large gulp, her eyes glazed. "When will he also burn his [Duckweed] life force for me...?"
"Point!"
While Zhao Xing was navigating the flying boat to escape, he also sent twenty-four clones flying off from the flying boat.
They were trying to confuse their pursuers.
He could try to fight one Fifth Grade, but two Fifth Grade, with two warships behind them and dozens of Sixth Rank Perfection cultivators inside... If they formed a battle formation, stopping would be tantamount to giving up his life!
At this point, don't pin your hopes on Liu Tianning's reputation; running away is the best option!
"Kid, your Straw Man Art isn't quite up to par yet!" Qin Chongwu sneered, completely ignoring Zhao Xing's clone.
"You think you're the only one with the means to detect this?"
"Come back with us obediently. We're not here to kill you," Huangfu Song said. "If you try to escape again, we'll have to make our move!"
They didn't make a move, but Zhao Xing did.
If these two martial artists get close, how will I survive?
"The Soaring Serpent Transformation!"
"Cloud Devour Domain!"
"Sleepy Bug!"
Zhao Xing had his clone control the flying boat while he immediately cast a spell.
The Soaring Serpent Transformation struck Huangfu Song, its light flashing only twice.
Scales appeared on Huangfu Song and chest.
But it subsided immediately.
With the Cloud Devour Domain deployed, the two's speed only decreased slightly, but it still exceeded the speed of the flying boat.
The burst speed of Fifth Grade exceeds the speed of a flying boat just starting out.
The two Sleepy Bug were the most effective!
They burrowed into the Fate Soul of Qin Chongwu and Huangfu Song.
In an instant, a strong sense of sleepiness washed over them, and the two felt as if they hadn't slept for years.
The speed of the Thunder Pure Origin Body decreased sharply.
Qin Chongwu shook his head:
"This kid's got some skills! If this keeps up, he'll get away."
"We can't delay any longer, let the flying boat release the Battle Vajra!"
The two immediately accelerated the two airships behind them, bringing them level with Zhao Xing's Blood Shadow Flying Boat.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Fifteen high-level Mechanical Puppet instantly transformed into streaks of light and leaped onto the Blood Shadow Flying Boat's barrier.
"Bang!" "Bang bang bang!"
One after another, the Battle Vajra began to smash the Blood Shadow Barrier.
"Heavenly Fire!"
Flames erupted on the Blood Shadow Barrier.
Zhao Xing tried to multitask, suddenly lowering the Blood Shadow Flying Boat, but still couldn't shake off these high-level puppets.
Zhao Xing remained calm in the face of danger. Before the enemy's flying boat could release its shuttle chain, he immediately steered the flying boat into the sea.
Once in the sea, one can still use a stealth technique to escape.
Fifth Grade martial artist won't progress so quickly in the sea.
As long as he can reach the seabed, he can escape using his escape technique, and even Fifth Grade can only watch helplessly.
"Decisive enough!" Qin Chongwen's eyelids twitched. "No wonder Liu Tianning took a liking to him."
"You've got quite the temper! Get up!"
Huangfu Song swiftly flew to the foot of the Blood Shadow Flying Boat. His body swelled up, growing larger to a height of five meters.
A golden halo surrounded him, making him appear like a golden giant.
"Drink up!" Huangfu Song stepped on the sea surface and actually pushed Zhao Xing's flying boat back.
"Bang!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Eight chains immediately hooked onto the Blood Shadow Flying Boat and pulled it upwards.
Zhao Xing was about to abandon ship and flee.
The Mist-Hiding Art is already prepared.
However, at that moment, both Huangfu Song and Qin Chongwen looked towards the horizon.
A streak of rainbow light flashed and expanded rapidly.
In a short while, they were already within a kilometer's radius.
"Oh no, it's Liu Tianning!" Qin Chongwen's scalp tingled.
"He really came!" Huangfu Song was startled and quickly said, "Inspector Liu, this is all a misunderstanding..."
"A misunderstanding?" Zhao Xing cursed, "A misunderstanding for eight generations of your ancestors! Teacher, they're trying to kill me!"
"No, we didn't mean to kill you..." Huangfu Song tried to explain.
But they discovered that Liu Tianning was starting to create clones in the air, as if copying and pasting.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with Liu Tianning!
They had three boats, two fifth-rank soldiers, fifty Sixth Rank, and thirty Battle Vajra, and they were all surrounded by Liu Tianning alone!
Huangfu Song: "..."
Qin Chongwen: "..."
The two of them felt a chill run down their spines as they watched this scene.
They had only heard of Liu Tianning's legends, but had never actually seen him in action.
Seeing it now, it's absolutely terrifying.
All three thousand Liu Tianning auras were at the peak of the Fifth Grade!
How do we fight this?
Liu Tianning looked at the two of them calmly. "As soon as I arrived, I saw the Blood Shadow Flying Boat crashing down in flames. Eight ship locks pierced through my disciple's Blood Shadow Flying Boat, and fifteen Battle Vajra comparable to Fifth Grade warriors jumped onto his ship..."
"Tell me... this is a misunderstanding?"
Huangfu Song and Qin Chongwu were completely unable to explain it.
It's impossible to explain!
Who would believe that they just wanted to capture Zhao Xing?
Besides, arresting them won't work!
"Whoosh~"
Liu Tianning's figure flickered, instantly passing through the barrier. In just one second, the Floating Vine Armor extended its tentacles, carrying Zhao Xing back to the sky.
"Step aside."
"Yes." Zhao Xing quickly retreated behind Liu Tianning.
"Lord Liu, we were only ordered to capture him and take him back. We had no intention of harming him," Huangfu Song said anxiously.
"No need for further words," Liu Tianning said coldly. "I previously warned the seven exploration teams that Fifth Grade officials were forbidden from attacking my disciple. Even if you only capture him, you have already broken my rules!"
Zhao Xing watched quietly from behind. This was Liu Tianning's consistent style; before killing someone, she would tell them why she was going to kill them.
"Willow..."
Before Huangfu Song could say anything more, Qin Chongwu had already begun to flee for his life.
He immediately ordered all the Battle Vajra on the airship to charge in one direction.
He himself followed behind the Battle Vajra.
It formed a sharp blade, attempting to break through Liu Tianning's blockade.
"Sizzle~"
The Thunder Pure Origin Body flashed, and Qin Chongwu had already made his move!
Then.
Qin Chongwu then died.
He saw Liu Tianning in front of him pointing, and a gray crack spread out like a cloud path.
The thirty Battle Vajra instantly disintegrated into a pile of scattered materials.
The gray cracks, undiminished in their force, instantly engulfed Qin Chongwu.
His body also split open in an instant.
"What a powerful Transformation of Seasons Art!" Zhao Xing raised an eyebrow.
The Transformation of Seasons Art that Old Liu used far exceeded the level of his Soaring Serpent Transformation.
When Huangfu Song saw this scene, he was terrified.
Qin Chongwu couldn't even withstand a single round. And he was at the late stage of the Pure Yuan realm!
"Inspector Liu, Lord Liu!" Huangfu Song had absolutely no courage to fight. "Please spare my life!"
Liu Tianning remained unmoved and continued to cast spells.
He is a man of the rules, but if someone breaks the rules, there is absolutely no possibility of leniency!
This was true then, it is true now, and it will remain true in the future!
"Vajra Transformation!"
Huangfu Song tried to buy time. He knew that Ji Ye was on his way. If he could hold out for a while, he might have a chance to live!
But he really overestimated himself.
After Liu Tianning made his move, his Vajra Body was immediately shattered.
First, it recovers to normal, then it gradually disintegrates.
Before he died, Huangfu Song saw the shadow of a Black Dragon Warship, but unfortunately, he did not survive until then.
"Liu Tianning!!!"
Ji Ye arrived at full speed in his warship.
But all he saw was Huangfu Song's disintegration and death.
"The rest of you can leave now." Liu Tianning waved his hand, and the two flying boats, along with the dozens of Sixth Rank on board, were all thrown a thousand meters away.
He kills, but he doesn't kill indiscriminately.
Even if Sixth Rank attacked his disciple, it did not break his rules.
"Liu Tianning!" Ji Ye roared angrily, "You've gone too far! What have I ever done to offend you! How dare you resort to such a deadly act!"
Ji Ye was trembling with rage. Two of his most capable subordinates had been reduced to ashes.
He had only arrested his student to teach him a lesson, yet the student dared to kill one of Ji Ye's men.
"Let's go." Liu Tianning didn't even glance at Ji Ye before leaving with Zhao Xing.
He once said the rule, he wouldn't repeat it a second time.
Liu Tianning hates idiots and people who can't remember what they're told; they're idiots.
Naturally, I'm too lazy to say more.
"You, you! Good, good, good! Liu Tianning, you're so impressive!"
Ji Ye clenched and unclenched his fist repeatedly.
In the end, he didn't dare to give the order to take action, even though he was Fifth Grade master, and even though there were hundreds of Fifth Grade warriors on his warship, along with the Mechanical Puppet, he could only watch helplessly as Liu Tianning left.
On May 17th, Liu Tianning personally went to the outer perimeter of Icefire Island and beheaded Qin Chongwu, Huangfu Song, and thirty high-level puppets.
Prince Ji Ye of Liang King, in a fit of impotence and rage, could only watch helplessly as the other left.
The news spread instantly throughout the seven exploration teams and even the entire Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven.
Liu Tianning's move after decades has once again shocked the world.
Especially those from the Seventy-Two Dao Academies, those who had lived longer and held higher positions, all recalled the past when they were dominated by Liu Tianning.
"After beating the young one, the old one comes. This Ji Ye has really lost his mind, actually attacking Liu Wanfa's disciple."
"Liu Tianning isn't old at all; he's only 127 years old."
"They really don't take Liu Tianning's words seriously. He doesn't compete for the essence of the Eternal Night Sea, only sending his disciples to train. And yet, someone still dares to mess with him? Aren't they courting death?"
"Who knows what Ji Ye is thinking?"
"Hahahaha, good, good. Thirteenth Brother, why don't you dare to make a move against Liu Tianning? Hahahaha." Ji Dan laughed loudly on the Tower Ship. He almost jumped up with joy after receiving the news.
Unfortunately, his good brother Ji Ye still held back.
"Young Master, we need to reassess Zhao Xing's importance to Liu Tianning," Liang Ruohai said. "Young Master must put in more effort to cultivate a relationship with this man."
