Inside the mountain

  The fishs body was covered in blood, and he was tied to an iron pillar. Since the first day he arrived at this hell-like place, he had already lost hope. At this moment, he was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, still provoking: "Is that all youve got? Come on, be more ruthless, my dear son, didnt you drink milk when you were a kid?"

  Suddenly——

  "Your Jin Ning will also come to accompany you soon! Haha... " The laughter came in.

  "Ji Ning!" The big-bearded monks body shook, and he immediately let out a loud, hoarse shout: "Young Master Ji Ning, hurry up and escape! There are cultivators here refining an evil treasure!"

  Next to the lazy fish, there was a small braid of Ji Yuwen who had already hung her head weakly, but she also raised her head with a sudden jolt and murmured: "Ji Ning? Ji Ning?"

  "Ji Ning! Run away quickly! Hurry up!" Ji Wuyu also shouted mournfully and with all her might.

  He had also wanted his fathers line to take over the position of Master, but since he lost, he was also convinced. Ji Ning is the next master of the Western Ji Manor! He also saw Ji Nings talent, and the Western Ji Manor will definitely become stronger because of Ji Ning. He has been abolished and caught here, he doesnt want the most promising genius of the Ji family, the next master of the Western Ji Manor to die here, this is a shame for the Ji family!

  "Quickly escape!" Ji Wuyue yelled.

  "Prince Ji Ning, hurry up!" Ji Shan also shouted in a hoarse voice.

  They were caught here and often saw fierce ghosts appearing in the ground, and the discussions of those six beautifully dressed men and women on the side also made them understand... What a magical cave!

  ……

  Dark fog surrounds, and from afar comes an urgent roar.

  "Prince Ji Ning, hurry and escape! There are cultivators here refining an evil treasure!"

  "Prince Ji Ning, hurry up."

  "Run."

  Although the voice was hoarse from being tormented, it was still recognizable due to its familiarity.

  "Refining an evil treasure?" Ji Ning suppressed his anger and stared at the black-robed man.

  The man in black robes sneered and said, "The genius of the Ji family, the great Young Master Ji Ning... Dont be impatient, dont get angry, they will all die, and you too, will die." He just wanted Ji Ning to become enraged and attack impulsively. When a person is extremely angry, he loses his calmness, and without calmness, this battle would naturally be easier for him to grasp.

  After fleeing for many years, the man in black also understood that he must not underestimate any opponent. Even if the young master Ji Ning in front of him was just a teenager.

  "Get out of here!" Ji Ning seemed like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, with an unstoppable momentum that charged straight at him.

  "Hmph, so impulsive, and yet a genius? After all, too young." The black-robed man thought to himself, his hands each holding a black long spear, approaching Ji Ning like a ghost. The two spears in his hands were also thrust towards Ji Ning, and when the two approached each other for an instant——

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  Two black arrows suddenly shot out a row of black nails, covering Ji Ning. Because the distance was too close and the black nails were too sudden, even if Ji Nings swordsmanship was fierce, it was difficult to block them all. Fortunately, the protective water fire lotus flower surrounding Ji Nings body withstood the black nails, causing them to barely penetrate one layer before falling down. When the black nails fell to the ground, the earth instantly made a hissing sound.

  "They are all poisonous." Ji Nings Northern Frost Sword stabbed angrily at the black-robed man.

  The black-robed mans figure was like a ghost, his two black needles barely holding on, and from time to time he would release one or more black nails.

  "What a formidable Jin Ning." The black-robed man secretly exclaimed, "His defensive lotus flower is too powerful, its actually affecting my movement skills. Fortunately, this robe of mine is a treasure armor transformed from a magical artifact, otherwise, just the defensive lotus flower alone would have torn my clothes to shreds."

  "Pffft!"

  A sword light pierced through the black-robed mans arm in an instant, and he immediately retreated with a single step. His face gradually turned ferocious: "Your protective lotus flower is indeed mysterious, my Black Blood Nail cant break it. It seems I still need to use force to break your technique." The two black needles on his hand disappeared into thin air, and a six-sided black staff appeared in his hand. At the same time, flames began to surround the black-robed mans body, and a powerful aura began to spread out.

  "Stick?" Ji Ning was secretly shocked.

  Earlier, when they first clashed, he discovered that the black-robed mans skills with the Black Thorn were actually quite weak, and it was only the ruthless method of using the Black Blood Nail that was somewhat sinister. Now that his opponent was using a long staff, Ji Ning understood... this was the opponents true specialty.

  "Staff, a long and heavy weapon." Ji Ning thought to himself, "Most divine spirit cultivators who practice body refinement techniques like using heavy treasure weapons to break through with brute force."

  "Take it." The man in black robes transformed into a dark shadow, his long staff raised high, and in an instant the staff grew larger and heavier, weighing tens of thousands of catties, directly smashing down on Ji Nings head!

  Ji Nings hand moved north, and his sword swept horizontally.

  Clang!

  A loud crash, Ji Ning himself flew backward and fell to the ground, creating a deep ditch. His palms were cracked open, and blood stained the hilt of his sword.

  "What a huge amount of energy, far surpassing mine. Although Im only at the fourth level of the Nine Heavens Diagram, I can already rival ordinary divine demons in the post-heavenly stage of body refinement. This black-robed mans energy is even greater than mine, likely a divine demon with a fully cultivated pre-heavenly body." Ji Ning realized he had finally met a true opponent.

  To kill a divine demons congenital body is much more difficult.

  "Ill see how many sticks you can take." The black-robed mans eyes gleamed with a faint green light as he charged forward, his aura like a dragon. As he approached Ji Ning, his long stick shot out in a swift and fierce strike - a direct thrust to the vitals!

  "Stick to strength! Sword to cleverness!" Ji Ning let out a low shout, and suddenly a pair of cyan wings appeared behind him. These wings seemed to be forged from steel, and were the flying-type treasures that Ji Ning had discovered among the several thousand magical artifacts he had obtained in the Water Palace.

  "Fēng Yǐng Bù" is just the foundation of the "Fēng Yì Tóu Fǎ" divine technique, and with wings, its even more formidable, like adding wings to a tiger.

  Wow!

  Ji Nings twin wings vibrated, and in an instant, he seemed like a giant Peng bird, swift and unpredictable to the extreme. He was like a gust of wind blowing past, constantly changing direction. The Northern Ming Twin Swords in his hands repeatedly called out to that black-robed man.

  "Ah ah ah!" The black-robed man was completely frenzied, and Zhen Yuan also drove the talismans on his staff, causing the gravity talismans power to continuously increase. One staff seemed like a small mountain, fortunately he was a high-ranking master with a divine demon body that was innately perfect, otherwise he wouldnt have been able to wield such heavy artillery.

  "The stick is heavy, whats the use of hitting it if you cant hit a person? Go to death!" Ji Ning also seemed to have entered a state of madness. The intangible pressure brought by the existence of the Zi Fu Xiu Shi, and those Ji clan members who were imprisoned and tortured, made Ji Nings heart feel as if it was being burned.

  "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

  Ji Ning relied on the magic treasure, Feather Wings, to move as fast as a ghost, even faster than the black-robed mans movement technique. The North Ming Sword, which had undergone blood refinement, was even more razor-sharp, and the swordsmanship that contained the True Intent of the Dao was even more victorious over the black-robed man in terms of realm.

  "Plop!" A big hole was stabbed in his abdomen, but it quickly shrank and then he was fine again.

  "Whoa!" A large gash was slashed across his back.

  "Hmph." A scar was carved on his face.

  "Ah ah ah!!!” The black-robed man was completely furious, his body was almost indestructible and his staff technique was in perfect harmony with heaven and earth, making it easy to crush ordinary cultivators who had achieved the First Heaven Round Completion. He didnt expect to run into a tough opponent this time. Although the other party was somewhat weaker in terms of strength, they were also a master of the Divine Demon Cultivation Body, and their swordsmanship was clearly superior!

  Boom!

  Ji Ning was swept away by the long stick, and after being smashed, he retreated. Although his hands were often shaken to the point of cracking open, they healed instantly. After all, Ji Nings swordsmanship was more profound and powerful. Ji Ning only suffered a slight disadvantage, while his opponent was truly dancing on the edge of death. As long as Ji Ning pierced his skull with his sword, he would be dead for sure.

  "Hmph!" With dual swords in use, unpredictable and ghostly, dancing on the line of death, there will always be a moment when the horse loses its footing.

  Pfft!

  The black-robed mans abdomen was instantly swept by a sword light, and a huge wound appeared. He fell to the ground, his body split into two pieces.

  "Awesome, awesome." The man in black robe gritted his teeth, "But still, go die."

  Wow.

  Just as Ji Nings dual swords were about to strike the black-robed man, one of the mans hands suddenly produced a bottle. With a sudden movement, he slammed it onto the ground, and the bottle shattered on the rocky surface, instantly releasing a dense white mist that spread out in all directions. Ji Ning saw that things were taking a turn for the worse and hastily retreated backwards, but the faint scent had already entered his nostrils. Although he had long since held his breath, the aura still managed to invade his body.

  "Turn into a puddle of water!" The black-robed man gritted his teeth, staring at Ji Ning as the two severed halves of his body rapidly drew closer together and began to automatically sew themselves back up.
