96: Bixiao

"Who summons me?!"

The giant projection opened its mouth, its voice like thunder, arcs of electricity flickering around its body, and its golden eyes capable of shattering a Cultivator's Divine Soul!

Daoist Lingbao and Daoist Baihe bowed.

"Junior Daoist Lingbao of the Yingtong Merchant Guild greets Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu!"

"Junior Daoist Baihe of Yaoguang Immortal Palace greets Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu!"

Even a projection deserved a bow.

This was the most basic respect from the weak to the strong!

Li Tingyue and the Ancestor of the Li Family looked worriedly at the figure in the green robe.

Shen Jinhuan's hand, holding Jiang Ning's, was sweaty.

Jiang Ning smiled and squeezed the little girl's palm, looking up at the "divine statue" in the sky!

The "Juniors" from the Three Great Factions rushing towards them watched the "projection" from afar, deeply shaken by the power it contained.

The Cultivators of the Cang Ling Domain trembled, not daring to even look up.

Pei Xiao snorted, "He doesn't know his place. Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu's projection has arrived, and Jiang Ning, who has only been the top Cultivator in the Cang Ling Domain for a little over a month, is about to fall."

Xie Yuheng sighed, "What a pity. I originally thought I could win him over to the Yingtong Merchant Guild to be an Elder."

Su Rao frowned, "I didn't expect it would be Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu, who specializes in slaughter, to arrive."

The journey to the Cang Ling Domain was truly about to end.

Once it reached the Nascent Soul level, it was no longer something they could participate in.

At the center of the battlefield.

Zhao Ting knelt on one knee.

"Commander Zhao Ting of the Xuan Hu Battalion greets the Marshal!"

He pointed at Jiang Ning, "This person is the one holding the dao leaf. He is arrogant and untamed, unwilling to trade, and even seriously injured me. I request the Marshal to act!"

The Nascent Soul projection immediately locked onto Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning entrusted Shen Jinhuan to Li Tingyue's care.

He took a step forward.

And cupped his hands.

"Jiang Ning of the Cang Ling Domain requests a battle with Marshal Baihu!"

The other party did not respond.

Only that thunderous spear, raised by a giant arm, shot directly towards Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning chuckled.

He took a direct step forward.

Everything around him paused! Including that incredibly powerful thunderous spear!

"Senior, do not underestimate me."

As his words fell.

A Nascent Soul Dharma Idol appeared directly behind Jiang Ning.

That Dharma Idol was as warm as jade, its body's Spiritual Qi restrained, yet it still made people breathless.

Since the matter of the dao leaf was already like this.

Jiang Ning directly took out Dan Shuzi's fifth-grade high-rank Pill Furnace, the jade void cauldron!

The jade void cauldron, made of what looked like azure jade, continuously grew larger, finally hovering in the air, "supported" by Jiang Ning's Nascent Soul Dharma Idol, and slowly rotating.

"Go!"

The jade void cauldron grew larger again, and a Spiritual Fire rose within it, intending to directly refine this projection!

Zhao Ting was greatly alarmed.

"He has already stepped into Nascent Soul!"

No wonder!

No wonder he couldn't even last a single move against Jiang Ning!

He had been disheartened by being instantly killed by someone who was also at Golden Core Perfection, but thinking about it, how could there be such a huge chasm between Golden Core Perfection and Golden Core Perfection!

Jiang Ning had already shown mercy!

If Jiang Ning had wanted to kill him, he wouldn't even have had the chance to summon the projection!

Daoist Lingbao and Daoist Baihe exchanged glances, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they hadn't offended Jiang Ning too much just now.

Bringing a Nascent Soul expert to the Sect, even for a dao leaf, would not be enough to atone for the mistake!

"Nascent Soul..."

The Ancestor of the Li Family murmured, looking at the giant Nascent Soul Dharma Idol, and then at the green-robed figure standing before the Nascent Soul Dharma Idol, a look of yearning on his face!

Li Tingyue frowned, asking the unsurprised Shen Jinhuan.

"Huanhuan, when did your Revered Master form her Nascent Soul?"

"A month ago."

"A month ago!"

Li Tingyue was greatly shocked.

What had Jiang Ning been hiding for all this time?!

He couldn't understand!

Not far away, Pei Xiao stared blankly at the giant Dharma Idol.

Xie Yuheng and Su Rao looked up.

"A Nascent... Nascent Soul of the Cang Ling Domain."

In the air.

Two Nascent Soul Dharma Idols confronted each other!

No one had expected things to develop to this point.

An Immortal Cave of Dan Shuzi had actually attracted a Nascent Soul-level battle!

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu naturally wouldn't let the jade void cauldron refine him.

A disdainful "hmph" sound came from the air.

The black-armored Marshal's Dharma Idol opened its right hand, and upon it, a bronze tiger tally slowly appeared!

"Kill!"

The next second.

Clouds were filled with "Heavenly Soldiers and Generals," who leaped, some on horseback, some wielding sabers, some holding spears, charging towards Jiang Ning!

The entire sea of clouds was dyed red, like a sea of blood!

Beneath the black-armored Marshal's Dharma Idol were mountains of corpses and seas of blood! It was a battlefield!

The clash of weapons and the neighing of horses suddenly erupted!

Jiang Ning's Divine Soul was shaken for a moment!

The mounted "vanguard" holding the "Tiger-Patterned Banner" was the first to crash into the jade void cauldron!

The incredibly strong banner-bearer forcefully knocked the jade void cauldron back several hundred meters!

The "soldiers" who followed closely behind directly attacked Jiang Ning's Nascent Soul Dharma Idol.

Jiang Ning was not flustered in the slightest.

If the jade void cauldron couldn't take in the Nascent Soul projection, could it not take in these soldiers?

The lid of the Pill Furnace opened.

The jade void cauldron expanded again, covering the incoming army.

Flames rose!

Flames burned across the battlefield!

But the soldiers summoned by the tiger tally seemed endless.

One batch was burned, and another appeared.

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Not bad."

Having just entered Nascent Soul, he always wanted to see what level his strength was among Nascent Souls.

Now it seemed that this Nascent Soul Dharma Idol projection was only at the initial Nascent Soul level, but compared to him, it was still far inferior.

After all, there was a great difference in methods between a true body and a projection.

"Let's end this."

Jiang Ning's Divine Sense probed from the dao leaf.

"What is that?!"

In the distance, Su Rao watched the towering mountains that suddenly appeared in the sky, her pupils widening!

Those mountains directly enveloped this area in a shadow!

Even the dark clouds were obscured.

The black-armored Marshal's projection looked up, grasping a long spear out of thin air, and thrust it directly upwards!

Xie Yuheng didn't speak.

He had never seen these methods before.

"This time, it was truly worth coming!"

In the Xuanhuang Domain, it was rare to see Nascent Soul Cultivators fighting.

Only immense fear arose in Pei Xiao's heart, what should he do? He had offended a Nascent Soul Cultivator?!

Not entirely, that Nascent Soul Cultivator couldn't possibly remember an ant like him.

"This... This is the Bixiao Sect!"

Li Tingyue's eyes widened.

His terrified cry made him shout it out unconsciously.

The Ancestor of the Li Family's face was grim, and he didn't speak about Li Tingyue's unsightly behavior.

Refining a Sect.

But then, something even more terrifying appeared.

As the Bixiao Sect pressed down, countless withered bones fell from within the Bixiao Sect, clashing with those Spiritual Qi "soldiers."

The Bixiao Sect was still falling!

Boom!

Marshal Marshal Xuan Hu's Nascent Soul projection, having no other choice, could only raise both arms and use both hands to support the heavy Bixiao Sect!

Jiang Ning smiled.

"The Second Peak is... the Law Enforcement Peak!"

Golden light flashed!

It swept across the battlefield like a laser!

Like a divine punishment descended by a god! Amidst the surging divine light, no "soldier" could escape unscathed!

And it wasn't just that!

The Second Peak rose high, the mountain peak shook, and the golden light directly enveloped the black-armored Marshal's projection!

The black-armored Marshal's projection's energy was continuously weakened!

Those golden lights transformed into chains, firmly imprisoning the black-armored Marshal's projection!

"The Third Peak is... the Artifact Refining Peak!"

Another mountain peak flew up.

Countless Spiritual Artifacts were condensed, they did not directly attack, but continuously condensed and re-condensed!

A guillotine appeared!

Jiang Ning reached out and drew an execution order from the Sect Leader Peak, on which the character " 斬" (behead), circled in cinnabar, was particularly glaring.

And the black-armored Marshal's projection, struggling within the golden chains, was brought to the guillotine's mouth.

The execution order fell, transforming into specks of starlight, merging into the guillotine's blade.

Boom—

The sharp guillotine fell.

The dark clouds scattered.

Sunlight shone on everyone, feeling exceptionally warm.
