"Whats going on, my Ji Clans Western Manor should have troops stationed at Winged Snake Lake, and there are several Innate Spirits there. Could it be that this Great Demon Winged Snake has escaped from Winged Snake Lake?"

  Wan Yu shook his head: "If it were just escaping from the Winged Snake Lake, that would still be a small matter! Alas, it was also our Ji Shi West Mansion that helped this great demon Winged Snake. Our Ji Shi West Mansion had several pre-heavenly born spirits stationed there who were seeking opportunities to kill the great demon Winged Snake. The great demon Winged Snake was in danger every day and had even fought several major battles! But under this pressure...this Winged Snake actually reached Pre-Heavenly Perfection!"

  "What? Innate perfection!" Ji Ning was greatly shocked. (This chapter is uploaded by a friend.)

  Congenitally perfect great demon, thats a huge threat. Like Dongshan Zes congenitally perfect old demon, there is only one, Snow Wasp Old Demon!

  "I, Ji Shi Xi Fu Pai, had several innate spiritual beings stationed there, but they could only barely defend themselves with the help of magical artifacts. They watched helplessly as the great demon Winged Snake escaped!" said Wan Biao with a sigh. "As soon as we received the news, Master immediately went to pursue and kill it!"

  "Fathers pursuit of murder?" Ji Ning nodded.

  Wan Biao nodded: "The big demon winged snake can fly into the sky and dive into the water, its speed is much faster than before. Once it hides in the deep water, even a Zifu master would find it hard to kill it. Master understands this point, so he sent me to inform you of this matter, telling you to be careful and cautious, after all, you killed its child back then."

  "I understand." Ji Ning Zheng nodded heavily, "It seems I also have to leave this Ironstone Tribe. Winged Snake, humph, didnt expect it to live so long and still break through!"

  "This old demon who has cultivated for thousands of years, with such deep accumulation, its not surprising that he broke through." Wan Yu said immediately, "Thats all there is to it, my task is also complete."

  "Brother Wan, previously when we were outside, the people we killed were from the nearby Hei Shan tribe. Go help me thoroughly defeat the Hei Shan tribe!"

  "This little thing is left to me." Wan Biao nodded.

  ……

  On that day, Ji Ning took Akiha and Muto with him and left the Ironstone Tribe. Where they went to...Ji Ning didnt tell anyone, only this way could make it harder for the Winged Snake Great Demon to find him.

  *******

  The disaster of the winged snake lasted for more than a month, and then everything subsided.

  When the great demon Winged Snake broke through to the Pre-Heavenly Round Full level, it rushed out of the Winged Snake Lake and began to wildly vent its anger, wreaking havoc on the surrounding tribes and devouring many humans, causing people in tribe after tribe to be terrified. It was also searching for Ji Ning everywhere. However, the news of Ji Nings adventure outside was a secret, known only to a very few people, and since Ji Ning was extremely cautious, the Winged Snake naturally couldnt find him!

  Half a month later, the Great Winged Snake encountered Ji Yichuan again. The Winged Snake, relying on its greatly increased strength and confidence, engaged in another battle. Unexpectedly, it was severely injured once more. However, it can now fly much faster than before, making it impossible for Ji Yichuan to catch up. This battle also made the Winged Snake unwilling to fight Ji Yichuan again, fleeing far away whenever it sees him.

  Another month later, Duque Ridge appeared!

  Jis Five Mansions and Duque Ridge negotiated, the matter ultimately ended with Great Demon Winged Snake Forbidden to Set Foot in Winged Snake Lake for a Hundred Years!

  ……

  Time flies, and suddenly its summer.

  Inside Dongshan Daze

  A patch of water grass hid two figures, one was a man with braided hair that was half red and half white, emitting an evil aura, the other was a tall and sturdy man wearing black clothes.

  "Is the information youve gathered correct?" the evil-looking man asked in a low voice. "Weve been waiting here for three days now."

  The man in black nodded: "Recently, there is a young man who often comes to fight with the Empty Green Snake King. Every ten days or half a month, they will have a battle, and the battles are generally around this area. Dont worry, master, when the time comes, that Empty Green Snake Demon will definitely come up from the water bottom, and once it enters the array, it cant escape!"

  "Hmm." The evil man said in a low voice, "Ive been preparing for this day for too long, and Ive paid a huge price to get this yin-yang dual-energy array. This time, I must capture the Qing Snake alive and make it my spirit beast!"

  "That green snake has entered the formation; whether it lives or dies is entirely up to its masters will." The man in black said.

  "Hahaha..." The evil man chuckled softly, "By the way, that young man often clashed with the Empty Sky Snake King. Do you know who that young man is?"

  "Ive never seen him." The man in black shook his head, "I know all the talented young men of the Tie Mu family, but I dont know this young man... The swordsmanship hes using seems to be the Ji familys Di Shui Jing."

  "Jis family?" The evil mans eyes flashed with malice, "At such a young age, you can already fight against the Empty Sky Snake King. In the future, you will probably become another Ji Yichuan... Since thats the case, I, Tie Mu Zhan, will help the Ji family by sending their genius to the Yellow Springs Road."

  Time flies.

  Half a day has passed again, and now its sunset. At this moment, there is a figure of a beast-skin youth walking on the water from afar.

  "Master, someones here!" The man in black shouted repeatedly.

  Tie Mu Zhans eyes narrowed as he gazed out at the sight before him. Seeing Ji Ning tread on the waters surface as if it were flat land, his pupils constricted: "Unity of Heaven and Man!"

  "This kid is going to be a killer!" Tiemu Zhans heart rose with an overwhelming desire to kill, and at such a young age, he had already reached the realm of unity between heaven and man. This terrifying youngster, once grown up... would be even more formidable than Dripping Water Sword Ji Yichuan, and might even become the strongest existence in the Ji Clans Five Mansions!

  "Brother Tie!" Temujin ordered, "Later you go deal with that young man. Even if you cant kill him, keep a close eye on him. As soon as I subdue the Empty Azure Snake King, Ill come over immediately."

  "Yes." The man in black replied respectfully.

  Tiemu Zhan stared fixedly at the distance.

  A young man has reached the unity of heaven and man... This kind of freak talent is far beyond what Tie Mu Zhan can match. Fortunately, Tie Mu Zhan has cultivated for a hundred years, relying on his age advantage to kill this little brat is still easy.

  ……

  Tiemu Zhan was hiding in the reeds and had also set up a stealth formation around them, so their breath and voices couldnt get out. Their breath couldnt get out... naturally, it was impossible to sense anything, and Ji Ning similarly couldnt sense their existence.

  "Little snake, come out." Ji Ning stood on the waters surface, shouting, "Still not coming out?"

  The sound rolled directly into the water.

  A moment.

  Boom!

  A giant blue snake burst out of the water, shrinking to over ten meters in length. Its head rose high, gazing at Ji Ning from afar and letting out a disdainful hiss. In fact, Kong Qing Snake King had gained some insight during his repeated battles with Ji Ning, feeling that he was about to enter the realm of "Unity of Heaven and Man". Although its combat strength was astonishingly reliable due to its innate talent, it was inferior to Ji Nings in terms of realm.

  This kind of chess encounter is a life-and-death struggle with no room for error, and its the fastest way to improve!

  "When I also attain unity with heaven and man, you will be dead for sure." Qing Snake King thought to himself.

  "Haha, come on, little snake." Ji Nings two hands suddenly produced two swords.

  Wow!

  The green snake king was like a flash of green lightning, pouncing on him in an instant, while Ji Ning also rushed up fiercely to meet him.

  ……

  "In the distance, Tie Mus gaze was even more astonishing: The swordsmanship of Heaven and Man as One! And its a double-handed sword, used to perfection! It doesnt seem like hes a pre-heavenly born spirit, yet he can actually engage in a fierce battle with the divine beast of a pre-heavenly born spirit... Such talent is truly terrifying! Must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

  "Why dont you go in yet."

  "Hurry up." Tiemu Zhans eyes were anxious.

  His formation was set up in advance, although the formation itself had a large range, but Ji Ning and Kong Qing were still some distance away from the main formation at this moment.

  Fast.

  Tiemus heart was burning with anxiety, but he could only endure and wait. Because he knew that once he showed his face... the green snake king would be so frightened that it would immediately dive into the water, at which point he would have no way to deal with it.

  All that can be seen is the fierce battle still raging in the distance.

  Sometimes Ji Ning was sent flying, sometimes wounds appeared on the body of Qing Xuan, the two were fighting with waves crashing, Ji Ning also kept treading on the water surface to display his footwork, one moment rushing forward, one moment flashing back, it seemed that he was just a little bit away from entering the Grand Array, but he just couldnt enter... Its really frustrating.

  "Bang."

  A single exchange of blows.

  "In!" Tiemus eyes were red, at this moment, Jining and Kongqingshe Wang could only be considered to have barely entered the big array, just on the edge. But Tiemu didnt dare wait any longer, perhaps after a while, Jining and Kongqingshe Wang would leave the range of the big array again.

  "Rise!"

  Timurs face was ferocious.

  "Huh?" Ki Ning, who was at the edge of the array, suddenly felt a tremor in his soul. That was because Ki Nings soul was strong enough to sense the enormous crisis looming ahead. An intangible fear instantly spread across his mind, and he even had a feeling that if he didnt act, he would really die!

  "Retreat!" Ji Nings speed soared to its peak as he retreated backwards. This one retreat also happened to bring him just out of the edge of the grand formation.

  ……

  As soon as Ji Ning stepped out of the grand arrays boundary, he saw a vast expanse of water before him suddenly turn into a chaotic mess. He only saw massive white and black air currents, like countless swimming dragons enveloping the sky and earth. The grandeur of the arrays power made Ji Nings heart tremble.

  This is a late-stage strong practitioner of the Innate Spirit Realm who relies on the terrifying power of a large array set up in advance to burst out instantly.

  "Qing She Wang is trapped in the Big Array!" Ji Nings heart tightened, having clashed with his opponent many times before, and now seeing him fall into the Big Array, Ji Ning couldnt help but feel worried for his opponent.

  "Roar!!"

  A dark shape was a human figure that suddenly flew in, and at high altitude it turned into a black beast over ten feet long. The mane on its neck was like a giant fan rising to the sky, and a pair of emerald green eyes were even more ferocious, rushing straight at Ji Ning.

  "Xiong beast?" Ji Ning immediately understood who had set up the big array, "Only Xiong beast among the pre-heavenly born spirits can be considered a spiritual beast, and thats only Tie Mus Tie Mu Zhan! An old guy from the late stage of the pre-heavenly born spirits!"

  "Hurry up and go!"

  Ji Ning was well aware of the gap between them, Tie Mus reputation preceded him as a sinister figure, relying on his treasured artifact, even the Empty Sky Snake King wasnt a match for him!

  "Whoosh!"

  Suddenly a black light suddenly shot towards Ji Ning.

  Ji Nings sword blocked the sound wave, and that black light flew back to the body of the Heaven-defying Great Demon. The demon roared: "Little Ji Ning, today is your day of death!"

  "Ah!"

  A sharp, ear-piercing cry of pain came from the massive array that covered the sky and earth. Ji Nings heart also trembled with fear as he knew it was the mournful cry of Kong Qing Snake King. In all the time they had been entangled in battle, Kong Qing Snake King had never let out such a sorrowful sound, clearly indicating that it was now truly at its wits end.

  "Little Green Snake, I hope you survive this calamity." Ji Ning could only silently wish her well, not daring to hesitate, while fending off the Heavenly Hounds pursuit and swiftly fleeing across the waves.
