"Ning Chuan?!"
At the sight of the black-clad youth hurtling toward her, Shen Qianxun trembled, surprise and joy flooding her face as her eyes reddened.
Li Zhenfei and the others, however, stared at Ning Chuan in utter horror and disbelief.
How was this possible?
Two Dao Foundation Realm experts and more than a dozen Spirit Sea Realm warriors had laid an ambush to kill Ning Chuan once and for all. How could he have made it here alive?
What on earth had happened?
But Li Zhenfei had no time to think. Wreathed in the force of wind and thunder, the Purple Thunder Spear pierced the air with a series of explosive cracks and was already upon him.
"Break!"
The explosive strength made Li Zhenfei's scalp prickle. With a furious roar, he poured all his spiritual energy into the Clouds Sky Sword and brought it crashing down toward the Purple Thunder Spear.
Clang!
The Clouds Sky Sword collided with the Purple Thunder Spear. Metal rang against metal, sending sparks flying.
A terrifying recoil struck Li Zhenfei, making his arm shake violently. The Clouds Sky Sword nearly flew from his grasp, and he was hurled backward!
Boom!
Ning Chuan charged in, his gaze icy. Wind and thunder intertwined in his palm as his Great Wind Thunder Palm erupted like a storm of exploding lightning, smashing into two Spirit Sea Realm warriors with the crushing force of deadwood snapping and rotten timber crumbling!
The two warriors' organs were instantly shattered. Their bodies flew dozens of yards, crashing into several other Spirit Sea Realm warriors and severely injuring them!
Using the Wandering Dragon Movement Technique, Ning Chuan slipped through the crowd like a phantom, swift as lightning. He caught the Purple Thunder Spear in his hand again and strode up to Shen Qianxun!
"Qian Xun, sorry I'm late!"
Ning Chuan spoke gently.
"Ning Chuan, what are you doing here? I heard the Li Family sent two Dao Foundation Realm experts after you. Are you hurt?"
Shen Qianxun asked with deep concern.
"I'm fine. I've killed them all! Don't worry. No one will hurt you. Today, every last one of them will die!"
Ning Chuan gave her a faint smile.
A slight smile lingered on his lips, but his voice held an icy killing intent.
"You? Aren't you afraid the wind will twist your tongue for boasting so wildly? Ning Chuan, since you're so eager to throw your life away, I'll grant your wish!"
Li Zhenfei laughed in fury, though a trace of wariness remained in his eyes.
Could the experts from the City Lord's Manor and the Treasure Pavilion really have intervened?
Chen Lin had already sent experts to stop them. They shouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly!
"You've already lost to me! I intended to let you live a few more days, but since you're so determined to court death, this place will become your Li Family's grave today!"
Ning Chuan's gaze was utterly cold. He pointed the Purple Thunder Spear at Li Zhenfei, its radiance razor-sharp, and locked onto him with icy killing intent.
Boom!
Ning Chuan stamped down hard and charged at Li Zhenfei, the Purple Thunder Spear in his hand piercing through the void!
"Ning Chuan, be careful!"
Shen Qianxun called out anxiously.
She had thought Ning Chuan had brought reinforcements from the City Lord's Manor and the Treasure Pavilion, but now it appeared he had come alone.
Ning Chuan's combat prowess was extraordinary, but how could he deal with so many people?
Not to mention the three Dao Foundation Realm warriors watching from the side like tigers eyeing their prey!
"Kill Ning Chuan!"
The surrounding Spirit Sea Realm warriors charged at Ning Chuan together without the slightest hesitation or fear of death, their eyes cold and their killing intent surging.
Thwack!
The Purple Thunder Spear shot out like lightning, instantly piercing a Spirit Sea Realm warrior's throat. Without losing momentum, it skewered another Spirit Sea Realm warrior behind him.
Ferocious strength erupted through Ning Chuan's arm. He swung the two men up and unleashed Sweep Across a Thousand Armies, smashing more than a dozen surrounding warriors away, blood spraying from their mouths!
Ning Chuan unleashed his full combat power. His strength of four hundred thousand jin blasted through everything. Even Spirit Sea Realm warriors could not withstand a single blow from him.
In the blink of an eye, Ning Chuan slaughtered all the dozen or so Spirit Sea Realm warriors blocking his path and charged straight up to Li Zhenfei.
Seeing Ning Chuan slaughter Spirit Sea Realm warriors like dogs, Li Zhenfei was both shocked and furious, his eyes filled with disbelief. Only a few short days had passed. How could Ning Chuan's strength have soared so much again?
"Kill!"
He roared, unleashing the Wind Tiger Sword Art as spiritual energy surged out. With his descending sword, a phantom black tiger appeared, like a tiger king emerging from the mountains and roaring proudly through the forest. It lunged at Ning Chuan.
"Ninefold Thunder Spear!"
Ning Chuan's gaze sharpened. He suddenly soared into the air, thrusting the Purple Thunder Spear down like a bolt of lightning falling from the highest heavens, accompanied by a rapid series of explosive cracks.
Boom!
The Purple Thunder Spear collided with the black tiger. Its keen radiance pierced through everything, descending like a raging torrent of lightning to tear the tiger apart before crashing into Li Zhenfei's Clouds Sky Sword with unstoppable force.
Clang!
Violent power erupted. The Clouds Sky Sword hummed and shook, Sword Qi spilling in every direction. Li Zhenfei staggered backward as though struck by lightning and spat out a mouthful of blood!
"Save the Eldest Young Master!"
"Attack together! Kill Ning Chuan!"
The Li Family's elders and guards roared in fury. Seeing Li Zhenfei in danger, they threw themselves forward without fear of death!
