Severing his tail to save himself!
Ning Tian's third Sovereign Spirit, the Nine-Tailed Phantom Fox of the Snow Fox Clan, had severed his own tail to resolve the crisis.
Qin Hao looked at the fox tail in his hand, and a warm feeling spread to his palm. Accompanied by the Imperial Light, it was crushed into powder. When he caught sight of Ning Tianxing's figure again, Ning Tianxing was already more than a hundred feet away from him.
Qin Hao used the Fleetfoot Stride, and his body suddenly disappeared from its original position. A terrifying roar came from the void. He seemed to have broken free from the restraints of space with one step. His aura closed in on Ning Tianxing crazily. Flames of the Great Path suddenly erupted and swept out, descending in front of Ning Tianxing.
Ning Tianxing's expression was extremely tense. He felt a great pressure coming at him. Suddenly, his body bloomed with dazzling Imperial Light, and the True Will of the Great Path flowed. He opened his arms, and a row of golden scissors spiraled out. They emitted sharp threads and blasted out. Boom!
Boom! Boom!
When the golden scissors blasted into the flames, there was a series of violent explosions. The power of rules collided fiercely, and the flames did not diminish. The golden radiance grew dimmer and dimmer. Soon, it melted into the flames, and the chaotic threads also completely disappeared.
Ning Tianxing roared. Majestic True Force of the Emperor's Path gathered between his palms. Dragon roars could be heard, and intense light exploded. Two golden Divine Dragons flew out. The Sovereign Spirit and the Divine Dragons merged, and the light of runes circled around the bodies of the Divine Dragons. They twisted together and rolled, and once again blasted into the flames. A roar that was loud enough to shatter eardrums shook the heavens. Terrifying Will of the Great Path swept out. With a loud boom, the two golden Divine Dragons were destroyed. The flames of the Great Path shattered, revealing Qin Hao's figure.
Qin Hao stepped forward, and a beam of Emperor's Will shot out from his clenched fist. He threw a heavy punch forward, and the space was devoured by a beam of black fire. With a bang, it landed heavily on Ning Tianxing's chest. Ning Tianxing's spiritual soul shook violently, and his chest felt like it was about to shatter. The terrifying force of the punch was about to penetrate his Emperor's body. For the first time in his life, he had a taste of terror.
Raging frost quickly covered the surface of his body and flowed towards Ning Tianxing's chest, preventing the injury of the Red Lotus Law from spreading. Borrowing the force of this punch, Ning Tianxing's body was sent flying again. He retreated again and again from Qin Hao, increasing the distance between them. After he stabilized himself, Ning Tianxing panted heavily, sweat dripping down his face. An indescribable burning force spread through his organs and engulfed his entire body. The frost on his body gradually melted. It was as if he was in a cauldron, refining his flesh and blood.
"In the sparring session of the Seven Peaks of the Divine Palace, on the field of Yun Yi Peak, didn't you want to fight me?
Are you satisfied today? "
Qin Hao asked coldly. At that time, he had suspected that the old Taoist Yun Yi was an evil spirit that wanted to devour the disciples of the Seven Peaks. Therefore, he had let Wuque, Zhou Wudao, and Lei Jiao destroy the array at the peak. He had split into two and disguised himself as Shou Wuque. His Dharma Form had temporarily replaced his original body.
That day, Ning Tianxing was very impressive.
At this moment, Ning Tianxing's palm was clutching his chest. His facial features were slightly contorted, revealing traces of pain. Indeed, the person he was fighting with now was not a doppelganger, but Qin Hao's original body. He had also experienced Qin Hao's strength for the first time. It was domineering and terrifying. He knew very well that this was only the tip of the iceberg of Dendi's strength. It was not his full strength.
But speaking of wishes, he did not want to clash with Qin Hao now. That was what he had thought in the past.
His eyes slowly looked down. On the vast battlefield, the battle was still very fierce and in full swing. However, Ning Wu's army still could not break into Feng City. Even though they had attacked several positions on the city wall, they did not have enough strength to suppress the enemy. Ning Tianxing knew that it would be extremely difficult to break into Feng City in this battle.
With the fall of Ning Zu, Ning Kong, Ning Lie, and many elders, the Demon Clan had also suffered heavy casualties. Ning Wu's army had lost the first line of battle to break into Feng City. If they continued to fight, not only would they not be able to break into Feng City, but the family might also be wiped out.
"Qin Hao, I can order Ning Wu to retreat and swear not to attack the Zheng Tribe. What I said before still stands. As long as you don't hinder me, I can share the four regions of the Divine Wilderness with you. Western Liang and Beijiang will belong to you, and we will each take half of the Southern Region. However, I have three conditions. If you agree to my conditions, I will immediately order the army to return to Ning Wu."
Ning Tianxing promised seriously.
"You want to negotiate with me?"
Qin Hao laughed. Did Ning Tianxing not understand the situation?
"If we continue to fight, it won't be good for you or me, or for the people on both sides. The Sunset Battle Immortal wants to get rid of you quickly. You have many enemies in the East Continent. Ning Wu will be your most powerful helper. This is something that the Zheng Tribe can't give you."
Ning Tianxing had a long-term vision. He would not throw himself into the war for the sake of a quick victory.
If they continued to fight like this, it would be a great loss to him, Qin Hao, and the Emperor experts and soldiers on both sides. It would only benefit the other overlords, not only the overlords of the Southern Region, but also the East Continent.
The Southern Region once had the Seven Heroes, which was comparable to the strength of the entire East Continent. That was why the great families and empires did not dare to invade.
As long as the Southern Region's strength was weakened, Ning Tianxing did not believe that the ambitious people of the East Continent would not be tempted. They would definitely come to plunder the resources of the Southern Region.
On the other hand, he and Qin Hao had a common enemy. If Ning Wu wanted to occupy the East Continent, he would have to fight with the War God Temple and the Daqin Empire. Wouldn't it be better for them to form an alliance?
Killing Zhan Wu would be beneficial to both him and Qin Hao. For this, he could ignore Ning Zu's death as long as Qin Hao agreed to his three conditions.
"You overestimate yourself."
Qin Hao said coldly. Ning Tianxing couldn't even get past him. How dare he dream of defeating the Sunset War God and monopolizing the Five Realms of the East Continent?
The power of the Five Realms was far beyond Crown Prince Ning Wu's imagination. Six hundred years ago, Qin Hao did not even have the idea of conquering the Five Realms. Even if the Five Realms Masters treated him as their leader, it was only a nominal respect. The Phoenix Flower Sect of the North Land, the Taoist Sect of the South Land, the Three Immortals of the East Sea, the War God Temple of the West Land, the Yuntian Palace of the Middle Land, and the Jueying Sword Palace. Any one of them could crush Ning Wu, not to mention the War God Temple and the Daqin Empire. At present, anyone from the War God Temple or Cen Gang could kill Ning Wu.
What right did Ning Tianxing have to say such bold words?
"Haha, I'm not overestimating myself. It's you who underestimate me. I know that you still have divine artifacts, but how do you know that I don't have any divine artifacts?"
Ning Tianxing sneered. His eyes flashed with a sharp luster, and his confident face exuded the aura of a monarch.
Divine artifacts were more powerful than Supreme Emperor weapons. Only the ancient gods were qualified to have them. They contained the power of the Way that was comparable to the Way of the Heavens. Now, there were no more Divine Level Masters in the Divine Wilderness. Only the descent of a god was enough to suppress the Four Realms.
Ning Tianxing claimed that he had a "divine artifact."
Qin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at Ning Tianxing's face, trying to find if he was lying. A divine artifact was not a joke. In today's world, there were only three that he knew of.
The Great Void Cauldron, the Maple Leaf God of Instrument, and the power of the Ten Seas inherited from Zhou Wudao's Emperor Spirit.
Other than that, could there be another divine artifact?
"I found the Burial God Relic by accident in a dangerous place. Do you want to see it?"
Ning Tianxing said in a lifeless voice.
Did he really think that he was relying on Ancestor Ning and Ancestor Fox to support him in this battle?
Was his ambition of conquering the Five Realms of the East Continent and defeating the Sunset War God just empty words?
In fact, he was qualified to do so.
Buzz!
A ray of emerald light fell into Qin Hao's hand. Dark red flames curled around it like a burning thorn. At the top was a three-inch blade that resembled the tip of a knife.
At this moment, Qin Hao was holding the divine artifact and was on guard. The Way power contained in the divine artifact was extremely terrifying. Since Ning Tianxing had said so, he naturally had to be fully prepared.
"Your sword is not bad."
Ning Tianxing's gaze fell on the Great Void Sword. He seriously sensed the aura that came from it. This was indeed a divine artifact. Although he had seen it before, he did not pay much attention to it. Even if he did, he could not tell that it was a divine artifact. Thinking back, it was a little funny.
Now, it was different. When he had a real divine artifact in his hand, he could communicate with the artifact spirit and make the Emperor's will resonate with the divine artifact. Naturally, he could identify other divine artifacts.
At this moment, Ning Tianxing's hand moved slowly and placed on a small sachet-like pouch at his waist.
Qin Hao took a few steps back. His monarch spirit resonated with the Great Void Cauldron, and the divine-tier Enduring Cycle of Reincarnation in his body was activated automatically. A layer of mysterious and holy halo covered his body. He stared at the small pouch on Ning Tianxing's waist, and a strong and dangerous aura was transmitted to him. He obviously did not think that this was a Sumeru Pouch that a low-level martial artist would wear.
It was a divine artifact.
"Let's broaden our horizons."
Ning Tianxing untied the pouch and put his five fingers into it. Then, he held something and waved his palm at Qin Hao's face.
Buzz!
A layer of dazzling light swept out, as if imprisoning the world. The clear sky instantly turned dark, but it was not completely dark. Beams of light crisscrossed, spreading out from the bottom of Qin Hao's feet, covering the boundless space.
Then, there was a heavy bang.
Like a mountain crashing to the ground, Qin Hao felt a terrible vibration under his feet. A beam of white light fell in front of him like a white boulder. It landed at the intersection of two rays of light.
"A chess piece."
Qin Hao said. The thing in front of him was a huge chess piece. The crisscrossing rays of light under his feet seemed to form a vast chessboard that sealed heaven and earth. At this moment, he was in the middle of the chessboard.
"That's right. A chess piece. Under the Divine Path, all things are chess pieces. The common people, the Emperor, the Sunset War God, Empress Ling Xuan, and even you and I are all just chess pieces. This game is the chess of heaven and earth."
Ning Tianxing spat out a long voice, as if it came from ancient times.
Qin Hao's gaze fell on Ning Tianxing and found that his temperament was gradually changing. He did not know what had affected him, but Ning Tianxing gave people the feeling that he was incomparably cold and indifferent. It was as if he had become a god that was not understood by the common people. But he, on the other hand, saw all things as chess pieces.
"What a terrible binding power of the Divine Path."
Qin Hao clenched the Great Void Sword in his hand. Perhaps it was affected by the chessboard of heaven and earth, but the Great Void Sword let out a restless vibration. The terrible power of the Inextinguishable Precepts broke free from the divine weapon and was not under Qin Hao's control. It spread out spontaneously and flowed toward the entire chessboard of heaven and earth.
"Now, you can choose. This is your last chance."
Ning Tianxing said indifferently. There was no desire, no greed, and no desire to win in his eyes. It was as if he had completely abandoned all emotions and desires and become a god without desires.
Under the Divine Path, all things were chess pieces. The whole world was his, and Ning Tianxing was the god of chess.
