Yu Ningsheng

"Hmph! Nothing more than this."

One of the burly Black Armor Warriors charged towards Ning Xiaochuan again, raising his saber with both hands. Three feet of black Profound Qi surged from the saber. Bang, the Saber Qi pushed Ning Xiaochuan back, even sending the Battle Blade in Ning Xiaochuan's hand flying out.

The Black Armor Warrior, holding his saber, sprinted over, intending to completely eliminate Ning Xiaochuan.

Just then, Ning Xiaochuan slammed a palm onto the ground, flipped up, and simultaneously threw two punches, striking the Black Armor Warrior's chest.

"Whoosh—"

The Demon Sword flickered, causing the Blood flow rate in Ning Xiaochuan's body to double, frantically absorbing the Blood from the Profound Qi Seventh Level Black Armor Warrior's body into his own.

The Blood Qi of that Profound Qi Seventh Level Black Armor Warrior was too powerful. Ning Xiaochuan's body felt like it was about to explode, and Blood Pearls were rolling down from the Pores of his skin.

"So uncomfortable!"

"This Black Armor Warrior's Blood Qi is too much stronger than mine. My body can't withstand this much Blood Qi at all, my Blood Vessels are about to burst."

Once the Demon Sword started absorbing Blood, even Ning Xiaochuan couldn't stop it.

Finally, just as Ning Xiaochuan felt his skin was about to crack, the Black Armor Warrior was sucked into a Dried Corpse and fell to the ground.

Gradually, all the Blood was absorbed by the Demon Sword into its Sword Body. Ning Xiaochuan finally let out a sigh of relief. He had almost been burst open just now. It seemed the Demon Sword's speed of absorbing Blood Qi also had a limit. If the Blood Qi was too vast, it simply wouldn't have Time to convert it.

If it had been a Profound Qi Eighth Level Martial Practitioner just now, Ning Xiaochuan's body would definitely have been burst open by now.

"My Cultivation... my Cultivation has reached the Profound Qi Seventh Level!" Ning Xiaochuan was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, a stream of Profound Qi flew out from his palm, cutting down a tree branch as thick as a Bowl Mouth ten meters away.

Condensing Qi into Gang, this was the mark of reaching the Profound Qi Seventh Level! Once this Realm was reached, it meant that Martial Dao Profound Qi had reached Minor Accomplishment and could kill people from a distance.

"He actually broke through to the Profound Qi Seventh Level!" The Black Armor Warrior stood with his saber held horizontally, starting to defend himself. Hei Si and Hei Er had both died too strangely, dying from a single punch to their Armor. This indicated that Ning Xiaochuan definitely possessed some hidden means that could kill people invisibly.

Ning Xiaochuan had broken through to the Profound Qi Seventh Level, his strength had greatly increased, and his eyesight, hearing, and the amount of Profound Qi had all significantly improved, even slightly stronger than ordinary Profound Qi Seventh Level Martial Practitioners. Therefore, he was not afraid of this Black Armor Warrior at all now.

Ning Xiaochuan gripped the Battle Blade in his hand again, his eyes becoming resolute.

Both of them charged forward simultaneously, moving extremely fast.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Ning Xiaochuan's attack speed was extremely fast. His body was wrapped in Crimson Profound Qi, and each strike was aimed at the Black Armor Warrior's Neck.

The Martial Dao Profound Qi within Ning Xiaochuan's body was extremely abundant. He unleashed fourteen consecutive strikes, each one like a wave of water, airtight, making it difficult for the Black Armor Warrior to parry.

"Puff!"

Finally, the Black Armor Warrior's Neck was severed by Ning Xiaochuan's saber, and his body fell heavily to the ground.

Ning Xiaochuan knelt on one knee, supporting himself with the broad-backed Battle Blade, panting heavily. Although he had killed the Black Armor Warrior, he had also suffered serious injuries, with a total of seven wounds, the largest of which had almost severed his left arm.

Ning Xiaochuan only rested for three breaths of Time before enduring the pain in his body and running back with his saber.

Among the five Black Armor Warriors, the largest one was not dead yet.

Although the masked woman's Cultivation was high, she might not be a match for that person. Ning Xiaochuan was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Since someone had stepped in to save him, he naturally wouldn't escape alone.

When Ning Xiaochuan returned to the main road, the battle had already ended. Many trees around had been cut down by Saber Qi and Sword Qi. The ground was covered with frost, and many broken trees were sealed by thick ice.

This was the power of Martial Dao Experts, which had surpassed the scope of ordinary Martial Dao Profound Qi. It could transform Profound Qi into frost, fire, thunder and lightning, which was called "Martial Dao Divine Power".

Only beings who had reached the Divine Body Realm could give birth to Divine Power within their bodies.

In the center of the main road, stood a huge ice sculpture. Hei Lin and the Iron Lion Mystic Beast beneath him were sealed inside the thick ice sculpture. Their bodies had long been frozen stiff, like exquisite works of art.

Ning Xiaochuan's palm gently tapped on the ice sculpture.

"Bang!"

The ice sculpture immediately shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of broken ice on the ground. Hei Lin and the Iron Lion Mystic Beast also shattered into pieces.

"So powerful!" Ning Xiaochuan exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"They are Death Warriors trained by the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, known as 'Dark Warriors'. Although they deliberately changed their armor to conceal their identities, they cannot change the Martial Dao Profound Qi they cultivate. In the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, there are no more than five people who can mobilize Dark Warriors."

The masked woman stood not far away, still wearing clean white clothes, standing tall and graceful, extremely beautiful. Her voice was quite ethereal and beautiful, and a thick white mist permeated around her body, making her appear somewhat ethereal and blurry, like a fairy in the clouds.

"Thank you, Miss Yu, for saving me. I am extremely grateful," Ning Xiaochuan said.

The masked woman's voice turned cold as she stared at Yu Yan and said, "You told him my identity?"

Yu Yan immediately knelt on the ground and said timidly, "Thank you, Miss, for saving Yu Yan for the third time. Yu Yan owes Miss a lifetime of gratitude that can never be repaid, but Yu Yan begs Miss to spare Young Master Ning. I guarantee that he will absolutely not reveal Miss's identity."

Ning Xiaochuan said, "Miss Yu's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. I naturally will not speak of this matter. On the contrary, I owe Miss Yu a huge favor."

The masked woman sighed faintly, no longer pursuing the matter, and said, "This time I didn't deliberately come to save you, I just happened to be passing by."

Ning Xiaochuan felt that the masked woman's Aura was somewhat insufficient, and the Profound Qi fluctuations around her body were somewhat chaotic. For a Martial Dao expert, this was impossible.

Ning Xiaochuan asked curiously, "Is Miss Yu injured?"

Yu Ningsheng didn't expect Ning Xiaochuan's perception ability to be so strong. This kid was simply an anomaly. In just a few days, he had broken through from the Profound Qi Fourth Level to the Profound Qi Seventh Level. This cultivation speed was something she had never heard of or seen before, it was simply monstrous! Yu Ningsheng was indeed injured in the battle with Hei Lin. She was struck by a piece of "Evil Dragon Scale" that Hei Lin had unleashed, which pierced her chest, leaving a three-inch long wound. The wound was poisonous, and even her Martial Dao Profound Qi could not stop the Blood from flowing.

She knew that Ning Xiaochuan cultivated the Blood Devouring Demon Art, and was likely a member of the Demonic Sect. Members of the Demonic Sect were unpredictable in their moods, so she naturally would not reveal that she was injured.

"I'm not injured, you don't need to meddle in my affairs." Yu Ningsheng planned to return to the city first and then find a way to heal her injuries.

But she still underestimated the toxicity of the Evil Dragon Scale. After only taking three steps, as the Blood circulated within her body, the poison immediately began to spread throughout her body, even threatening to invade her Martial Heart Palace.

She immediately stopped and dared not take another step.

Ning Xiaochuan saw some clues, walked up to her, and saw that her chest was stained with Blood, and dark red poisonous liquid was flowing from the wound. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her fair forehead, and her body went limp, about to fall to the ground.

Ning Xiaochuan quickly stepped forward and held her, skillfully unbuttoning the clothes on her chest. Beneath the clothes, a moon-white close-fitting undergarment was revealed, embroidered with an Azure orchid.

After a moment of hesitation, Ning Xiaochuan still tore open this layer of close-fitting undergarment, revealing a shocking wound.

"You... what are you doing?" Yu Ningsheng quickly gathered her Martial Dao Profound Qi, but as soon as the Profound Qi circulated in her Blood Vessels, she spat out a mouthful of Blood.

The Evil Dragon Scale poison had already invaded her Blood Vessels. Circulating Profound Qi would only accelerate the flow of the poisonous liquid towards her heart.

Ning Xiaochuan used to be a top doctor in cardiovascular and internal medicine. Many times when he encountered female patients, he would unbutton their clothes before performing surgery.

This was a very normal thing! It could be said that Ning Xiaochuan had seen the upper bodies, and even private parts, of many women. In his opinion, there was no evil thought in this at all. The person lying on the ground was merely an injured person.

Ning Xiaochuan wrapped his fingers in Martial Dao Profound Qi, and his index and middle fingers gently pressed on her wound. From the wound, a small section of a black iron-sheet-like foreign object was revealed.

"Uh!"

Yu Ningsheng was both shy and angry, a blush appearing on her cheeks beneath her veil! But when her eyes met Ning Xiaochuan's, she found his eyes to be very clear and serious, without a hint of evil intent.

That look...

She had never seen it before! A man seeing a woman's body yet remaining so calm, could it be that she was so unattractive and unappealing in his eyes?

Was her body not beautiful enough?

Yu Ningsheng believed her beauty, if not unparalleled in the world, was at least enough to topple kingdoms. Countless young talents would spend a fortune just to see her once, but the look in this young man's eyes made her doubt if she was truly that beautiful. This was an incredibly intimate scene, so much so that even Yu Yan, standing in the distance, was stunned. "Young... Master... Ning, actually tore open Miss's clothes..."

If the geniuses in the Imperial City saw this scene, they would surely tear Ning Xiaochuan into a thousand pieces.

Ning Xiaochuan used his Profound Qi to remove the black, iron-sheet-like foreign object from the wound, then carefully closed Yu Ningsheng's clothes.

He no longer looked at Yu Ningsheng, instead examining the black "iron sheet" in his hand.

This "iron sheet" resembled the scale of some creature, carrying a strong Cold Qi. A drop of poisonous liquid dripped from the "iron sheet," immediately corroding the ground with a "hissing" sound.

"This should be an Evil Dragon Scale," Ning Xiaochuan's expression deepened significantly.

"What is an Evil Dragon Scale?" Yu Yan was helping Yu Ningsheng bandage her wound.

Ning Xiaochuan said, "I saw records about Evil Dragons in the classics within the Marquis's Mansion. Legend has it that sixty years ago, the previous Sword Pavilion Marquis led twelve top experts from the Marquis's Mansion to jointly slay an Evil Dragon. They brought the Evil Dragon's corpse back to the Marquis's Mansion, making it a treasure of the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion."

"However, during the dragon-slaying battle, the previous Sword Pavilion Marquis was also burned on half his body by the poisonous fire spat out by the Evil Dragon. After returning to the Marquis's Mansion, he used various methods but couldn't remove the Evil Dragon Poison from his body, and ultimately only lived for ten more years before dying."

"An Evil Dragon Scale is a weapon refined from an Evil Dragon's scale, carrying strong toxicity. Although not as potent as the Evil Dragon's poisonous fire, it's not something ordinary Martial Practitioners can withstand."

Yu Yan and Yu Ningsheng's expressions changed drastically. The previous Sword Pavilion Marquis was a figure who shook the Heavens, an absolute Martial Venerable. Even a Martial Venerable couldn't withstand the Evil Dragon's toxicity?
