He Was a Descendant of the Immortal Clan?

"That depends on her."

Ning Qi sighed and looked ahead.

After so many ambushes, their forces are now reduced to less than two squads, totaling no more than twenty people.

However, their carriages and horses were not damaged much.

After the line spread out, it was about 100 meters apart.

This also shows how many troops they had back then.

This time they traveled along a wide official road, surrounded by grasslands. After walking for a while, they would pass some hills and groves of trees.

Overall, it looks much safer than yesterday.

Several men also served as scouts; some found high ground to look out into the distance, while others rode off on horseback.

To scout ahead for the team.

They continued on steadily, and soon covered a distance of a hundred miles.

This time we arrived at a vast expanse of open fields, where as far as the eye could see, there were grasses as tall as a person.

As the breeze blows, it's like a green ocean, with waves surging towards the horizon.

"Once you leave this plain, you'll reach the last city on the way to the imperial capital."

Commander Li looked ahead and said to Ning Qi, "We've arrived at this city. Two more days' journey and we'll reach the imperial city."

"So, our trip is about to end."

Hearing this, Ning Qi couldn't help but laugh and say, "This wasteland is indeed quite nice; it's perfect for hiding people."

"Yes."

Commander Li nodded, his expression grave. "Everyone, be alert and careful."

"Yes!"

"..."

The guards responded quickly.

They continued onward, and the official road grew wider and wider.

Clearly, this arrangement was specifically made to prevent sneak attacks.

They scattered some stuff along both sides of the road to prevent weeds from growing rampant.

Within a radius of several dozen meters on both sides of the road, not a single blade of grass grows.

This made their group safer, but after traveling a certain distance, the group gradually slowed down.

Further on, the official road was almost completely submerged.

"Call!"

At this moment, a wind began to blow, making the grassland ripple even faster.

Some human-like figures sped away.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Two men beside Commander Li fired two arrows.

"Puff!"

"..."

It struck directly at the drifting figure in the distance.

The two then attacked simultaneously, leaping away.

In the blink of an eye, he returned carrying the corpses of two Spirit Beast.

"Sir, you are not human."

"Those ahead are also some Spirit Beast."

The two men simultaneously reported what they had just discovered.

"Okay, let's go, let's continue."

Commander Li nodded, then ordered them to continue advancing.

The team then set off again, heading towards the front.

"I always feel unsafe ahead."

Looking at the road ahead, Li Xiangrou analyzed with Ning Qi, "My elder sister won't let this go so easily, especially since we killed several of her experts."

"Knowing her as I do, she'll definitely be retaliating fiercely these next few days."

"Then let her give it a try."

Ning Qi said dismissively, "I'd like to see what kind of experts she can send."

"Ning Qi, you need to be careful."

"The experts who come after us will definitely not be simple."

Li Xiangrou looked worried and reminded Ning Qi.

"Good."

Ning Qi did not refute, but instead agreed.

Their gaze returned to what lay ahead.

Under his gaze, he was startled to see chilling fluctuations of energy emanating from the horizon.

This fluctuation caused him to unleash a terrifying aura with just a glance.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing Ning Qi's change, Li Xiangrou quickly asked, "Did you discover something?"

"Yes, someone's here."

Ning Qi nodded, then glanced at Li Xiangrou: "You protect your people, I'll go and meet them."

"Them? There's more than one person who came?"

"I'll go with you!"

Upon Li Xiangrou was about to set off with Ning Qi to deal with these people.

"No need, it's pointless for you to go. They're all very strong."

Ning Qi shook his head, then glanced around. "Remind Commander Li to stop and prepare for battle; we're already surrounded!"

"Good!"

Li Xiangrou agreed, then waved towards the distance. "Commander Li!"

"Exist!"

Soon, Commander Li arrived on horseback.

"Defense! People are coming!"

Li Xiangrou voice.

"Hmm? Someone's here?"

Commander Li was unaware of anything yet.

"That's right, they're here!"

Ning Qi nodded, then added, "Be careful."

"Good!"

Commander Li agreed, then rode off, secretly giving orders to his men to be on guard.

At his prompting, everyone stopped.

He revealed a look of serious readiness.

Each of them wore a solemn expression; they knew very well that this time it would be another fierce battle.

Although there are experts like Li Xiangrou, no one can say for sure who will survive on the Battlefield.

"Ning Qi, you need to be careful."

Seeing that Ning Qi was about to leave, Li Xiangrou reminded him, "I'll deal with the people here, then I'll come help you!"

"Good!"

This time, Ning Qi did not refuse, but readily agreed.

After he agreed, he suddenly stood up.

Then, it transformed into a streak of light and sped off ahead.

"Master, the opponent is very strong, much stronger than those from yesterday!"

Medicine Spirit climbed onto his shoulder and watched intently as he observed the movements ahead.

He could also sense that there were experts ahead, and his eyes were filled with a solemn expression.

"Hmph, I'll see just how formidable they are!"

Ning Qi merely snorted coldly, then continued to accelerate, covering a distance of over a thousand feet in the blink of an eye.

"Whoosh!"

Before he could stop, a cold glint shot towards him.

"Call!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and directly took out his Immortal-Slaying Sword.

With a simple, forward swipe, he easily deflected the attack.

His eyes stared coldly ahead, a solemn expression on his face.

"Come out."

After looking for a moment, he spoke towards the front.

"You must be the one who killed several of my disciples."

Soon a person flew in from a distance.

He was tall and strong, dressed in a blue robe, and holding a long sword.

The entire sword was enveloped in streaks of blue light, sending chills down one's spine.

"You mean that good-for-nothing who wanted to kill Princess Xiangxiang yesterday?"

Ning Qi thought for a moment, then said disdainfully, "If that's the case, then I really did kill them. There was also some good-for-nothing named Zhao Tianling."

"Oh, then that's correct."

Xiao Lingtian agreed, a cold smile appearing on his face, "Then prepare to die today. I will tear you to pieces to avenge my disciple."

"Okay, then you give it a try."

Ning Qi nodded, then waved to him. "Let me see how strong you are."

"Then prepare to die."

Xiao Lingtian snorted coldly, then drew his sword and charged forward.

A startled figure whistled past him.

With a chilling aura, it slashed down towards Ning Qi.

This sword sliced open a rift in the sky and earth behind him.

This is the devastating blow dealt by a master of Heavenly Immortal- level strength.

"Master, she's a Heavenly Immortal!"

Medicine Spirit also sensed Xiao Lingtian's strength.

"They really have some skill; otherwise, how could they have subdued four experts with the strength of True Immortal?"

Ning Qi nodded, and then in a flash, he suddenly activated the Immortal-Demon Power within his body.

This was the first time he had used the Immortal-Demon Power after his breakthrough in strength.

After the Immortal-Demon Power was activated, a gray light suddenly burst forth from his entire body.

This is the chilling light of a fusion of Immortal Power and Demonic Qi.

"Devil Race!"

Upon seeing Ning Qi's Immortal-Demon Power, Xiao Lingtian's eyes widened. "He's actually a member of the Devil Race race."

"Hmph, Devil Race? That's nothing but your obsession."

"I am a true descendant of the immortal Immortal Race."

Ning Qi snorted coldly and immediately activated his Bloodline Power.

"Call!"

At this moment, Ning Qi's entire body erupted with dazzling golden light.

The surging golden light made his entire body feel as if it were cast in gold, making him afraid to look directly at it.

"Is this... an immortal?"

In the distance, Li Xiangrou murmured.

"No wonder he's so powerful, he's actually an immortal."

"Yes, we actually followed immortals all the way!"

"..."

Many of the guards echoed this sentiment.

"Whoosh!"

"Call out!"

"..."

At that moment, arrows began to rain down on the group.

"Defense! Enemy attack!"

Commander Li immediately gave the order.

They no longer cared about Ning Qi behind them.

At this moment, Ning Qi was enveloped in golden light, radiating an aura of pressure that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Call."

Just as Xiao Lingtian's attack was about to strike, it was suddenly blocked by his Immortal-Slaying Sword.

With just a light sword strike, he neutralized his attack.

"Whoosh!"

Xiao Lingtian composed himself and unleashed another sword strike.

This sword strike caused the surrounding green grass to swirl and stir.

A Sword Qi tornado was formed, and his Sword Qi also swirled the leaves of the green grass, turning them into streaks of green Sword-Ray.

These thousands of Sword-Ray transformed into a dragon, surging towards Ning Qi.

This attack enveloped the entire world.

Ning Qi looked up and saw the surging dragon, which, in conjunction with the Sword-Ray, was attacking him.

"Master, be careful."

Seeing this, Medicine Spirit quickly reminded him.

Don't worry, he can't hurt me.

Ning Qi sneered, then waved his hand and took out the Bronze Mirror: "Here you go!"

He roared, and the Bronze Mirror suddenly enlarged under his control.

"Call!"

He then activated the Bronze Mirror.

The Bronze Mirror, which had been perfectly still, suddenly erupted with a tearing force.

This unleashed power devoured the surging dragon before it.

One, two, and countless green dragons were all swallowed up by the Bronze Mirror.

Even the Sword Qi above had most of its essence absorbed.

The brilliant light that could have torn the heavens and earth gradually lost its power.

Xiao Lingtian looked at Ning Qi's Bronze Mirror with a solemn expression.

As expected of the Immortal Race, even the weapons they casually pick up have this effect.

His full-force attack was nothing but a decoration in front of him.

It has absolutely no effect.

Some distance away from him and Ning Qi, there was another person watching everything in astonishment.

I never imagined that Ning Qi would be an immortal.

Moreover, his weapons are also very powerful.

Even experts with the strength of Heavenly Immortal couldn't harm him, so he must also possess the strength of Heavenly Immortal.

With his Law Treasure protecting him, and given that I only possess the strength of a half-step Heavenly Immortal, I am no match for him at all.

It seems that this time, Your Highness has met your match.

Xue Jiancheng looked at everything before him with a solemn expression.

However, we can't leave empty-handed; we still need to find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack later.

If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement.

Xue Jiancheng quickly came to his senses, his eyes fixed on the two people in front of him.

"Kid, don't think you can win by using these underhanded tricks!"

"Before me, you are nothing but a corpse."

Xiao Lingtian stared coldly at Ning Qi, gritting his teeth as he said, "If you have the guts, then fight me directly."

"Oh? You think I'm only able to withstand your attack because of this?"

Ning Qi smiled, then his expression turned serious. "Then, I'll make you admit defeat wholeheartedly!"

"Bring it on!"

Xiao Lingtian roared and charged forward again, sword in hand.

This time, he transformed into a streak of light, carrying a fierce aura, and arrived in front of Ning Qi in the blink of an eye.

He must be killed without giving him any chance to prepare.

"Snort!"

Ning Qi simply snorted coldly, and then unleashed all the strength in his body.

In an instant, he blocked his Immortal-Slaying Sword in front of him.

"When!"

A sword rang out, and a Light Wave of Sword Qi erupted from between the two of them.

After it was released, it transformed into a cross-section of a mirror, instantly splitting the heavens and earth in two.

A ravine several tens of feet deep had appeared directly on the ground beneath their feet.

The force of the attack shook the ground violently, startling the birds and beasts on the grassland into flight.

Some unlucky ones were directly pierced and exploded on the spot by the shockwave of the Sword Qi.

Wisps of blood mist then spread out.

"Call!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and launched another counterattack.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword forced Xiao Lingtian to retreat repeatedly.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

He unleashed several sword strikes in succession, forcing Xiao Lingtian to retreat further and further.

They were completely defenseless.

"Hmph, using such a magical sword to fight me? That's all you've got!"

Xiao Lingtian snorted coldly, revealing a disdainful expression.

"Old man, are you saying you'll only be Qi Ingestion if I fight you hand-to-hand?"

Ning Qi looked at Xiao Lingtian with a cold smile, then directly put away his Immortal-Slaying Sword.

"Fine! I'll show you that without the Immortal Sword and the Law Treasure of your Immortal Race, you're nothing but a joke!"

Seeing Ning Qi put away his Immortal-Slaying Sword, Xiao Lingtian swung his sword again and slashed at Ning Qi.

He told Ning Qi not to use weapons, but he attacked with a cold blade himself.

However, Ning Qi didn't care. After opening his arms, two balls of flame burst forth.

He used the Red Fire Immortal Art.

As the immortal technique was activated, his entire body was instantly enveloped in Blazing Flame.

It formed a terrifying crimson flame.

Seeing Xiao Lingtian attack, Ning Qi suddenly made his move, transforming into a Blazing Flame and rushing towards him.
