The battlefield fell into absolute silence. Countless people looked up at the sky. Above the vault of heaven, the golden dragons of the Will of the Great Path dissipated. Great Ancestor Ning's body fell straight down and then shattered into billions of light bubbles. There was no longer any trace of Great Ancestor Ning's aura between heaven and earth.
Great Ancestor Ning was dead!
This scene impacted the visual nerves of countless people, causing their hearts to tremble violently.
Ning Tianxing's guqin music came to an abrupt end. He looked there in shock until he saw Great Ancestor Ning's body collapse and his aura completely dissipate. Only then did he accept reality.
At this moment, his heart was twitching fiercely, and the flickering light in his eyes was trembling. How could he bear this? Great Ancestor Ning was killed by Shou Wuque with a single sword strike.
Ning Tianxing knew that this battle would be very difficult. From the moment Qin Hao appeared, he understood that if he wanted to break into Feng City in front of Dendi, he would have to pay an immeasurable price. In fact, he was also prepared for the fall of Great Ancestor Ning and Great Ancestor Fox.
But he never thought that Great Ancestor Ning would die at the hands of Shou Wuque. Even if he died, he should have died at the hands of Qin Hao. This was more realistic.
But the reality was so cruel. Great Ancestor Ning was indeed killed by Shou Wuque. He became the first peak battle force of the family to die in battle. Moreover, he was the strongest battle force on the surface.
Great Ancestor Ning had fallen in less than a quarter of an hour. How sad!
Ning Tianxing felt even worse. He found that the sword light that pierced through Great Ancestor Ning's chest suddenly turned around and flew back toward Shou Wuque, once again disappearing into his broken body. Shou Wuque's falling body suddenly stabilized in mid-air, wrapped in a layer of sacred halo, and rejuvenated.
At this time, everyone vaguely felt that a vast power of the Way seemed to descend from the vault of heaven, enveloping Shou Wuque. Imperceptibly, the power of the Way of the Heavens instilled into his body. His radiant vitality became more and more obvious. His chest rose and fell slightly, and gradually his face became ruddy. In a trance, everyone seemed to be able to hear his weak breathing.
Great Ancestor Ning was dead, but Shou Wuque was not. His broken body looked extremely weak, as if he had fallen into a terminal illness. However, the will of the Emperor that emanated from his body gradually grew stronger, giving off an unattainable sense of grandeur.
Was this a transformation of Realm?
"Great Ancestor Zheng, quick, save him.
"Qin Hao's eyes were filled with strong excitement. His flawless Sovereign Spirit expanded, and he could clearly feel that Wuque's Sword Spirit had indeed undergone a transformation. The result was naturally a sublimation of the Emperor's Way. Wuque's Sword Realm was widened, and he opened a higher window from the True Self. The subtle wounds on his body were gradually healing. It was clear that the power of the Way of the Heavens was nourishing his body, making his body indestructible. This was a sign of a breakthrough.
Qin Hao did not expect that Wuque would succeed. This less than one percent chance of a breakthrough was firmly grasped in the hands of Wuque.
Buzz!
On the city wall of Feng City, a roar broke out. Great Ancestor Zheng flew toward Shou Wuque, ready to bring him back to the city. Shou Wuque was alive and had escaped death. However, he had now entered a state of integration with the Way of the Heavens and had almost completely lost his combat effectiveness. Any soldier of Great Ancestor Ning could kill him.
"Leave him here."
Ning Tianxing roared with infinite anger. He pulled the strings with his fingers and pulled the string two feet out. Then, he released his fingers and a sharp melody was shot out, whistling in the direction of Shou Wuque. It turned into a dazzling and sharp spear midway, wanting to kill him on the spot.
Shou Wuque had killed Great Ancestor Ning Wu. How could Ning Tianxing let him leave alive?
There was no need for Crown Prince Ning Wu to give the order. At this time, the Ning Clan's Emperor Dao experts and Great Monsters of the Demon Clan all moved out, madly pouncing on Shou Wuque with the intention of tearing him into pieces.
Ning Kong, Ning Lie, the Fox Clan's Emperors, and an eighth-tier Dao Affirmation Giant Ice Armored Bear stepped out with its mountain-like body. Its huge paws swept out heavily, causing ice and snow to wreak havoc. The space was compressed and distorted, breaking into countless cracks.
Qin Hao pinched his sword fingers and raised one finger to the sky. Astral winds rolled around him and wisps of Sword Qi flashed out, shuttling through the space, heading straight for Ning Tianxing's melody and destroying the spear.
"Scram!"
Yunzong Muyun roared at the many Emperor Dao experts who were surrounding him. He had long abandoned Emperor Ning Wu Ming and was prepared to save his nephew. At this moment, he was also the closest person to Chief Wuque. The Gentleman Sword in his hand danced, and sword lights crisscrossed, blasting towards the Giant Ice Armored Bear's palm that was sweeping towards him. The sword qi sank into the thick ice and snow, and the sharp light cut the Giant Ice Armored Bear into dozens of pieces along with its palm. Huge chunks of flesh fell to the ground, and the scene was extremely bloody.
Ning Kong took the opportunity to stab Shou Wuque with his spear. Even though he was far away, a beam of spear light shot out from the tip of his spear, turning into thousands of golden threads that swooped up like golden snakes.
"He's not allowed to die."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the sky. Then, a figure stood in Ning Kong's path. Lin Feng stared at him with dead eyes. Even though the thousands of golden threads in the spear light entered his body and melted into his flesh, he didn't cry out in pain. Then, he pointed at Ning Kong. In the sky, a terrifying storm was born. Terrifying Sword Qi swept out, swallowing the shocked Ning Kong. Then, after a tragic cry, the storm and Sword Qi disappeared. Ning Kong's shadow was nowhere to be seen.
Pfft.
Another stream of blood flowed onto Ning Lie's body. Zheng Zu's halberd and palm blade cut into the center of Ning Lie's chest. A bloody hand emerged from Ning Lie's back. As the light of rules surged, Ning Lie's flesh was cut into two halves and sent flying.
"Ning Kong, Ning Lie!"
Ning Tianxing shouted loudly. The blood vessels in his eyes congealed. Seeing Ning Kong and Ning Lie die in battle, a pain that he hadn't experienced for a long time swept through his body. Suddenly, he felt as if he had lost something.
Sword light flashed, and blood rained down. "Pfft, pfft, pfft." The sword killed a group of demons and a Human Emperor. In front of Makumonji, no one could hurt his nephew. Whether it was the three-tailed demon fox or the birds of the Peng Clan, even the thousand-year ice armor of the Ice-armored Bear, they couldn't withstand the Righteous Sword in his hand. Makumonji, who had always been good-tempered, became extremely crazy. Today, he was in a killing frenzy. He was surrounded by many Beast Emperors alone, but no one could take half a step closer to him.
Ning Tianxing looked at all of this. Ning Zu's death seemed to be the spark that ignited the defeat of Ning Wu's army. The family's masters kept dying. Ning Kong and Ning Lie, who had accompanied him since he was young, died. Many elders also died. In order to keep Shou Wuque, the three clans of the Demon Forest Clan paid a huge price. However, no one succeeded until he saw Shou Wuque being brought into Feng City by Lin Feng.
"Why? Why do you have to be my enemy?"
Ning Tianxing roared at Qin Hao in front of him. In the next second, his palms flew, as if there were countless hands sweeping the Guqin Spirit. The frenzied shadows were dazzling, and the rhythm rang out chaotically. A demonic power covered the battlefield, and the sky became gloomy. Demonic bodies holding huge scythes were born in the rhythm. Demonic shadows kept appearing, as if an army was flying on the battlefield.
"This is … the Demonic Chaos Melody."
Qin Hao's expression changed.
Ning Tianxing knew how to play the Yaoguang Peak's lost technique. The Demonic Chaos Melody was one of the supreme Emperor Techniques of the Divine Palace. It was also the most lethal demonic melody in the hands of the Yaoguang Deity.
Ning Tianxing learned the Demonic Chaos Melody from Old Daoist Yun Yi. Where did he learn the Demonic Chaos Melody?
Soon, Qin Hao had an answer in his heart. "Changhe Lo."
His eyes darkened as he spoke.
The Yaoguang Deity had a limited number of personal disciples. Lan Qingwu was dead, and Qingzhi Han was not good at the Way of Sound. She spent most of her time with Yaoguang to practice the Art of Meditation. So, the only people left were Mo Xian, Su Jin, and Changhe Lo.
Mo Xian and Su Jin could not have secretly taught the Demonic Chaos Melody to Ning Tianxing. There was only one person who could have done it, and that was Changhe Lo.
Perhaps, before the seven Peak Venerables opened the illusory matrix of the Divine Palace, Changhe Lo had already contacted Ning Tianxing and secretly taught him the Demonic Chaos Melody. It turned out that during the trial, Changhe Lo set up the killing matrix in the Crimson Dragon Realm. Ning Tianxing was also one of the members.
Unfortunately, because the teleportation distance was too far, Ning Tianxing could not meet up with Changhe Lo. Therefore, the killing matrix was missing an important part.
How terrifying.
Qin Hao's palms were sweating. If Ning Tianxing had been there at that time, Changhe Lo might have succeeded. But who would have thought that they had been secretly colluding for a long time?
Qin Hao smiled slowly. If that was the case, he had all the more reason to kill Ning Tianxing.
Boom!
A layer of Flames of the Way swept out and covered the boundless space. Sword Qi danced in the blood-red flames, letting out terrifying sword cries.
If it had been in the past, he might have been afraid of the Demonic Chaos Melody. But now, there was a gap between him and Ning Tianxing in the Imperial Realm. He did not even need to use the Mute Spell to stabilize his spiritual soul to break the Demonic Chaos Melody.
With a shift of Qin Hao's will, the Flames of the Way shot up into the sky. The frightening rules turned into a barrier that blocked off the demons that filled the sky, causing them to collapse and dissolve into the Red Lotus Flames of the Way. Qin Hao waved his hand, and countless Sword Qi was born from the flames, turning into flaming swords that shot towards Ning Tianxing. At that moment, Ning Tianxing's playing became more and more frenzied. The Heavenly Demon Song turned into the rhythm of the Great Path around him, as if there was a whirlwind circling around him. His technique seemed to have softened Qin Kuang's ultimate technique from the Southern Region, causing the power of the Heavenly Demon Song to increase. Streaks of flaming swords kept shattering before him, destroyed by the rhythm.
Qin Hao stepped forward, and lines appeared in his eyes. His gaze seemed to be able to see through the void. The Will of the Emperor released the rules of meteorites. The flames in the void burned even more fiercely, and the Sword Qi flew out even stronger, like meteorites bombarding forward.
There was a bang.
Finally, a ball of dazzling sparks exploded in front of Ning Tianxing. The Guqin Spirit under Crown Prince Ning Wu's hand was broken. His face flushed red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The Demonic Chaos Melody that lingered in the void stopped. The Demonic Chaos Melody was destroyed, and Ning Tianxing also retreated quickly.
"Can you retreat?"
Qin Hao used the Fleetfoot Step, ignoring the distance between him and Ning Tianxing in one step. He reached out his hand to grab him, and the Emperor's Light filled his palm. It was the Bone Shattering Hand of the Returning Dragon.
Ning Tianxing felt as if there was an extremely powerful suction force in front of him, and his body was pulled forward uncontrollably. It seemed that he was about to be captured by Qin Hao. This force was difficult to resist, and his heart trembled wildly. A sharp fox's howl sounded, and a white light flashed in front of Qin Hao. In the next second, Ning Tianxing's shadow disappeared, and a fox's tail appeared in his hand.
