Three Great Experts

Ning Xiaochuan chased after him, a murderous intent already brewing in his heart.

Although Ning Xiaochuan was a healer, he was absolutely merciless towards his enemies.

"Bang!"

Profound Qi condensed into a XuanQi, transforming into a semi-solid, semi-illusory sword. He struck out from a distance, hitting Xiao Li's back, sending him flying forward. He crashed into a large tree like a dog eating mud, his head covered in blood.

Xiao Li rolled on the ground, glancing back in terror at Ning Xiaochuan, who was chasing after him. He scrambled to his feet again and fled as quickly as possible.

Ning Xiaochuan continuously unleashed waves of Sword Qi XuanQi, blasting his back into a bloody mess, riddled with wounds, exposing the white bone beneath.

In the end, Xiao Li was too severely injured to continue. His vision blurred, and he collapsed to the ground, his face buried in the dirt.

He struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with fear as he stared at Ning Xiaochuan, who was approaching step by step, his heart filled with despair.

Ning Xiaochuan condensed a Profound Qi Sword in his hand and walked up to him step by step. "It's time to end this."

Ning Xiaochuan thrust his sword down!

"Whoosh!"

A finger-sword flew out from the dark forest, striking Ning Xiaochuan's Profound Qi Sword and deflecting it.

The Profound Qi Sword deviated slightly, missing the heart and piercing Xiao Li's back, piercing through his body.

"How dare you commit murder in the Imperial City! A capital offense!" A cold voice echoed from the dark forest, startling many birds into flight.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

In the darkness, three figures leaped swiftly across the treetops, each leap covering a distance of over ten zhang. Their speed was so fast that they seemed like three shadows.

These three individuals possessed extremely high cultivation levels. They could deflect Ning Xiaochuan's Profound Qi Sword with a finger-sword from several miles away. Such cultivation was simply astonishing.

Ning Xiaochuan only saw three black shadows flying like ghosts in the night sky, each leap covering a distance of over ten zhang. The whistling sound they created caused the blood in his body to churn, almost causing him to explode.

"Such powerful individuals!"

Knowing that experts were arriving, Ning Xiaochuan dared not linger and immediately fled.

After a moment, the three figures floated down from the treetops and landed on the ground.

Each of them carried a spear as thick as a bowl, three zhang and six chi long, five or six times longer than their bodies. Standing on the ground, they were taller than the tree trunks, like pillars engraved with profoundpatterns.

These were Dragon Elephant Halberd Spears, only equipped by the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial.

The Dragon Elephant Halberd Spear was a Third-Grade Profound Weapon, weighing three thousand eight hundred jin. Only the powerful Dragon Elephant Divine Martial could wield such a spear with ease.

When the spear was wielded, it could sweep across the army. One person's strength could defeat thousands of troops.

Their bodies were flowing with powerful Profound Qi fluctuations, their martial arts cultivation was unfathomable, a level that all martial arts cultivators looked up to.

Standing at the front was a stunning beauty with blue hair and blue eyes, with a cold and proud temperament, a slender figure, straight and slender legs, and long hair like a blue waterfall, giving people an indescribable sense of softness.

From her bright eyes, two three-chi-long Xuan glows shot out. She merely glanced at the lying Xiao Li and said, "A genius, possessing a 'Gluttonous Heart Palace', shaped like a beast. It's a pity that his lungs were pierced by a villain, and he suffered serious injuries."

Her pupils were blue, pure and clear, like jade.

"Gluttonous Heart Palace, this is considered a top-tier Heart Palace among the Variant Beast-Shape Heart Palaces, his future martial arts achievements are immeasurable. Captain, why not recruit him into the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion?" Zuo Jinfeng squatted down and helped Xiao Li up, his palms erupting with white Profound Qi, helping Xiao Li control the injuries in his body.

These three were the three great experts of the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion, Ji Hanxing, Zuo Jinfeng, and You Zui.

Ji Hanxing held the spear horizontally, her curvaceous body standing straight, her eyelashes long, her nose delicate and crystal clear, and coldly said: "Not everyone with high talent can enter the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion, but the 'Gluttonous Heart Palace' is indeed rare, with great potential. First, send him to the Vajra Martial Academy of the Heavenly Emperor Academy, hand him over to Dean Yan for training, and then see if he is qualified to enter the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion."

"Eh! Captain, come and take a look!" Zuo Jinfeng's voice carried a hint of horror.

The three great experts of the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion focused their gazes on Xiao Li's arm. That arm was severely withered, all the blood had been lost, completely losing its activity, like the arm of a dried corpse.

"Blood Devouring Demon Art! It was done by someone from the Demonic Sect. People from the Demonic Sect have come to the Imperial City again."

The expressions of the three great experts of the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion changed slightly.

Ji Hanxing frowned slightly, gently swiping her slender left middle finger, a bloodstain appeared on her jade fingertip, and a drop of blood dripped from her fingertip, emitting a fragrant scent, falling on Xiao Li's dry and withered arm.

"Hua—"

A drop of her blood erupted with dazzling blood light, like a blood-red divine lamp, containing a strong life vitality, blooming into a blood-colored divine flower in the air.

The blood-colored divine flower landed on Xiao Li's withered arm, causing the atrophied muscles to rapidly recover, flesh to grow back, and skin to become youthful again.

A drop of blood transformed into a divine flower.

It completely restored the blood essence that Xiao Li had lost, revitalized his arm, and made it even stronger! Zuo Jinfeng and You Zui exchanged glances, thinking that their captain was indeed their captain, his cultivation was unbelievably powerful. A single drop of blood could regenerate life force in someone who had been drained by the Blood Devouring Demon Art, something they could never achieve.

The wound on Ji Hanxing's finger healed automatically, leaving not even a scar, as smooth and jade-like as before.

Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of the footprints on the ground, and a three-foot-long cold light burst from her pupils once more. "Identical footprints, and the aura is exactly the same."

The footprints on the ground reminded her of the footprints of the mysterious person who had rescued Minister Tian in Nanyue Mountain.

Ji Hanxing immediately gave an order, saying, "Zuo Jinfeng, you take this young man to the Heavenly Emperor Academy; You Zui, you go and report to the Marquis that Minister Tian may have been rescued by someone from the Demonic Sect."

Zuo Jinfeng and You Zui left swiftly.

Ji Hanxing followed the footprints on the ground to pursue the person who had rescued Minister Tian, but when she reached the riverbank, the footprints disappeared.

Clearly, that person had jumped into the river to conceal their aura.

"You think I can't track you just because you jumped into the river? You'll have to come ashore eventually." Ji Hanxing stared at the turbulent riverbank, her skin like ice jade, her long hair dancing in the wind, and her eyes spitting out spiritual light.

She held the Dragon Elephant Halberd Spear in her hand, white Profound Qi clouds surged from beneath her feet, and her body rose up, landing steadily on the surface of the river.

Like a stunningly beautiful woman standing on a mirror, her body did not sink, as she patrolled the banks of the river. The moment someone climbed ashore, they would be immediately discovered by her.

After swimming in the water for three hours, Ning Xiaochuan finally came ashore at a secluded section of the river. Looking at the ray of sunlight rising from the distant water surface, he felt much more relaxed.

This place was already dozens of miles away from where he had jumped into the river. Even if someone wanted to track him, it wouldn't be possible to find him in a short time.

Fortunately, I escaped quickly. Those three must be top experts. If they knew I had cultivated a demonic art, they would definitely eliminate me to uphold justice.

Although Ning Xiaochuan had not cultivated a demonic art, he had a Demon Sword in his body that could absorb people's blood, which was no different from a demonic art.

He could only hope that Xiao Li was already dead, otherwise, with his vengeful personality, it would be an endless source of trouble.

Although these past two days had been filled with near-death experiences, his cultivation had made significant progress. The only regret was probably his cart of money.

That was more than six million small coins, hundreds of Profound Medicines, and a Blood Toad Wood branch, worth well over ten million. He wondered which bastard had gotten it all? Two days had already passed, and Ning Xiaochuan no longer hoped to recover the money and Blood Toad Wood. He could only admit his bad luck, having encountered a madman.

Ning Xiaochuan believed that he had not offended anyone. Even if he had offended someone, it would have been Silver Pool Madam. What business was it of Xiao Li's? Ning Xiaochuan sighed and started walking back.

Although he had been careful enough, he still underestimated the power of the three experts from the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion. Before long, Ji Hanxing flew down to the spot where he had climbed ashore and followed the footprints he had left behind, pursuing him.
