231: Success but with a little surprise
"Madman!"
Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu hadn't expected that even now, Daoist Ember Dust would be willing to burn his life just to kill him!
This was also due to Marshal Xuan Hu's earlier words having an effect.
From the very beginning of listening, Daoist Ember Dust had been holding his breath.
Now, relying on that surge of Qi to charge over, even if he died, it would be enough.
Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu was 'struck' by him, sending him towards a spatial rift that had been torn open by the explosion of the Green Lotus!
The black spatial turbulence emitted chaotic and disordered power.
Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu pulled out a Spiritual Artifact from his ring and began to flee.
"Good opportunity!"
Jiang Ning, with his Dharma Idol, struck towards Marshal Xuan Hu!
Bang—
Marshal Xuan Hu's escape route was blocked.
"Still a bit short!"
Jiang Ning roared, throwing the jade void cauldron and Bixiao directly at Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu!
Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu took a step back.
Hiss... The intense pain immediately sobered him. He looked behind him; one of his legs had been knocked into the spatial turbulence by Jiang Ning and Daoist Ember Dust.
The violent turbulence directly severed and tore off one of his legs!
This power.
Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu instantly understood.
Jiang Ning didn't have the ability to kill him, so Jiang Ning wanted to use the spatial turbulence to kill him!
With his Nascent Soul Realm power and Physical Body strength, entering the spatial turbulence meant certain death!
But it was too late.
The spatial turbulence, like a vortex, entangled him and dragged him little by little into this 'quagmire'.
Flowing Water watched from the side.
The situation had taken a turn.
Even her usually cool demeanor was replaced by joy as she said, "It succeeded!"
Zhao Tinghuang's face also showed delight.
Currently, the Three Great Factions of the Xuanhuang Domain balanced each other, but the Tiance Military Prefecture subtly showed signs of becoming the strongest.
Not to mention Linghuang Pavilion wanting to play a more important role in the Xuanhuang Domain.
Simply put, if the Tiance Military Prefecture was allowed to develop, then after it unified the Xuanhuang Domain, the first to be targeted would be the Linghuang Pavilion, which had a great reputation but lacked strength!
Yinyue muttered to herself, not expecting that Jiang Ning, leading them, a few Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, had actually managed to defeat a veteran Nascent Soul Mid-stage Cultivator!
This was too incredible!
Daoist Ember Dust lay on the desert.
The self-destruction of his Nascent Soul Dharma Idol caused cracks to appear on his Nascent Soul, and also severely wounded him.
Now, he didn't even have the strength to escape.
But to see his enemy torn apart by space, his life was complete.
Jiang Ning nervously watched Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu, who was being 'devoured' by space little by little, not daring to be careless.
Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu's body moved further and further into the spatial turbulence, and the open spatial rift also grew smaller and smaller, gradually closing.
Until Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu was completely submerged in the spatial turbulence.
Jiang Ning smiled and said to Flowing Water, "Thank you all, I didn't expect this time..."
"Jiang Ning, get out of the way!"
Flowing Water suddenly roared.
Jiang Ning was startled.
Within the spatial turbulence, several Spiritual Qi strands, like ropes, appeared, directly binding Jiang Ning and dragging him towards the spatial turbulence!
Oh no... Flowing Water and the others mustered their last bit of strength and rushed over.
It was too late.
From the rift, Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu's voice, full of unwillingness and anger, came.
"Jiang Ning, even if I die, I'll drag you with me!"
He threw out all the Spiritual Qi and Laws within his Nascent Soul.
His Nascent Soul shattered.
Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu's consciousness dissipated.
He recalled what Dark Feather had told him in the house, that he would encounter a bloody disaster today.
That hateful Dark Feather, the only time he was right, and it had to be at this moment.
...The spatial rift closed.
Jiang Ning and Grand Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu disappeared between heaven and earth.
Flowing Water, who arrived first, thrust her sword... The space remained motionless.
Zhao Tinghuang frowned and said, "Let's go. People of this level have Soul Tablets in the Tiance Military Prefecture. Soon, the Grand Marshal will know that Marshal Xuan Hu is dead.
Once the Grand Marshal comes after us, then we truly won't be able to escape.
For Jiang Ning's matter, please accept my condolences..."
With that, Zhao Tinghuang took strides of a hundred meters, carrying Daoist Ember Dust from the ground, and departed.
Yinyue walked over and patted Flowing Water's shoulder, "Whatever it is, we can talk about it after we leave here. Jiang Ning being caught in the spatial turbulence is hard for anyone to bear."
After speaking, she also hurried away.
The future of the Snow Fox clan was in her hands; she couldn't harm the Snow Fox clan.
One or two breaths passed.
Here, only Flowing Water remained.
She stared blankly in the direction where Jiang Ning had disappeared.
It was hard to believe that Jiang Ning, whose name echoed throughout the Cang Ling Domain and who had astonished many Cultivators in the Xuanhuang Domain, had fallen just like that.
"Impossible."
Flowing Water bit her lip, "He has the Space Law protecting him; he won't die in the spatial turbulence!"
Even as she spoke to herself, Flowing Water couldn't be entirely certain.
She dared not believe it.
After all, he was only at the Nascent Soul Realm, not yet Soul Transformation. Even if Jiang Ning's control of Space Law was excellent, it was impossible for him to have a deeper understanding of the Law.
A few more breaths passed.
Yellow sand filled the air.
No one in the empty Gobi Desert knew that a tragic battle had once taken place here... Within the spatial turbulence.
A green dao leaf drifted with the spatial turbulence.
The dao leaf carried a portion of the Heavenly Dao's power and contained a Small World, allowing it to remain safe within this spatial turbulence.
Hiss... Inside the Small World.
Jiang Ning gasped.
Just now, when he used his Divine Sense to probe outside, his Divine Sense was immediately shredded by the spatial turbulence as soon as it passed out of the dao leaf.
He lay on the green lawn of the Small World, looking at its blue sky.
In that moment of crisis, he had thought of countless methods, and finally decided to hide within the dao leaf.
The dao leaf did not disappoint him.
He was still alive.
The pain and exhaustion throughout his body made Jiang Ning feel extremely sleepy, but he couldn't sleep.
Where would the dao leaf eventually go? How would he escape this spatial turbulence?
These were all questions.
Even more critically, how was he going to contact the little girl?
Jiang Ning patted his forehead.
"If Huanhuan thinks I've fallen, she'll probably cause a huge ruckus in the Xuanhuang Domain, won't she?"
"It wasn't easy to rein in the little girl's personality a bit; I can't let this one incident completely turn her dark, can I?"
Jiang Ning was full of worry.
