29: Senior sister, save me!
After one strike, Wang Ning didn't feel the satisfaction of getting revenge, but a look of joy appeared on his face, and he quickly climbed to the top using the trees on the cliff.
Seizing this opportunity, Wang Ning looked down and saw that the area below was suddenly engulfed in flames, with rolling heat waves assailing him, and countless plants spontaneously combusting.
When the flames slightly dissipated, the dead body of the Xuanling Python and the disheveled figures of Wang Da and Li San were revealed.
Wang Ning was startled and dared not stay long. First a Sword Talisman, then a sea of fire—it was hard to imagine what other trump cards Wang Da might have.
Although he desperately wanted to avenge himself, it was clear that a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years.
However, Wang Ning had barely run two steps when Zhao Er caught up to him.
Subsequently, Wang Da and Li San, controlling their Magical Artifacts, also chased after him.
They were extremely disheveled at this point, their entire bodies charred, and a faint scent of cooked meat could even be detected.
Clearly, the Xuanling Python's desperate counterattack had caused them significant damage.
"Kid, hand over what you got from the lake, and perhaps I can spare your life," Zhao Er grinned, revealing his yellowish teeth.
It was hard to imagine what kind of treasure could revive a dying person and allow someone to greatly increase their strength in just one day.
Thinking of this, Zhao Er licked his lips, his face filled with greed.
Wang Ning clenched his fist, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, the killing intent in Wang Ning's heart reached its peak.
This was not only because of Zhao Er and the others' relentless pursuit, but also because of the secret these three knew.
Even though Wang Ning was new to the world and didn't know much about the Immortal Cultivation World, he knew the terror of the good fortune pagoda's Legacy.
After all, just the first level's trial had greatly increased his strength, and the reward for clearing it was even more terrifying.
"The Great Luo Floating Pagoda Scripture": Boundless and immeasurable is called Great, encompassing all phenomena is called Luo. One who awakens supreme wisdom is called Floating Pagoda. Thus, one can be immune to all laws, indestructible through all calamities, transcend the Reincarnation of life and death, and achieve eternal freedom!
Regardless of whether it was true or not, just looking at the description made Wang Ning gasp at the time.
And this was only the reward for the first level; it was hard to imagine what else lay ahead.
Therefore, Wang Ning dared to assert that if the news spread, such a treasure would be enough to cause turmoil throughout the entire Immortal Cultivation World, and even trigger an unprecedented bloody storm.
And as the owner of the good fortune pagoda, he would probably be reduced to ashes as soon as the news spread.
Therefore, no matter what, he could not let them leave today.
Thinking this, Wang Ning abandoned the idea of escaping and decided to fight to the end.
Wang Ning's change was quickly noticed by Zhao Er.
How could he have imagined that the originally panicked Wang Ning would dare to resist, even showing killing intent?
This undoubtedly enraged him, and he immediately cast a spell to attack Wang Ning.
Facing the incoming water pillar, Wang Ning's heart, at this moment, was calm to the extreme, and the world seemed to quiet down.
At this moment, Wang Ning's world only contained the figures of Wang Da and the others, and the incoming attack.
This was a skill Wang Ning had comprehended after countless life-and-death battles; he didn't know what it was.
He only knew that whenever he entered this state, his reaction speed and strength would be greatly enhanced.
He called it "Domain!"
A Domain unique to him!
"Boom!"
Wang Ning cleverly dodged the water pillar in a way no one expected, then appeared in front of Zhao Er and smashed his fist fiercely into that disgusting face.
Wang Ning had wanted to hit that ugly face for a long time!
Zhao Er's face was filled with shock and disbelief; Wang Ning's counterattack was completely unexpected.
Wang Da and Li San were equally surprised.
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Er was sent flying, Wang Da and Li San also attacked consecutively.
For a time, Saber Qi and Sword Qi crisscrossed, and flames and shattered rocks flew everywhere.
Wang Da's real name was Zhang Yan, possessing three Spiritual Roots of metal, water, and fire, primarily cultivating the fire Spiritual Root, and his Blazing Flame Mad Saber technique was exceptionally refined.
As for Zhao Er and Li San, they were similar; the only difference was that Zhao Er primarily cultivated the water Spiritual Root, while Li San was a Sword Cultivator, primarily cultivating the metal Spiritual Root.
The reason for this was that when operating in the Jianghu and engaging in banditry, they naturally needed nicknames.
And by naming themselves Wang Da, Zhao Er, and Li San, they intended to leverage the prestige of the Wang, Zhao, and Li families.
While Wang Da, Li San, and Wang Ning were locked in battle, Zhao Er slowly stood up from the smoke.
Clearly, Wang Ning's punch might have been fatal to an ordinary person, but Zhao Er had years of experience in the Jianghu and was very resourceful.
In the moment of crisis, he quickly covered himself with a water screen, saving his life.
But even so, facing Wang Ning's terrifying strength, a punch powerful enough to blow up a Yao Beast, Zhao Er's face was disfigured.
At this moment, Zhao Er's already unattractive face was completely distorted. Feeling the stinging pain on his face, Zhao Er charged into the battlefield like a madman.
As Zhao Er joined the battle, Wang Ning's pressure doubled.
Especially after realizing Wang Ning's terrifying Physical Body, the three of them, Wang Da, continuously avoided contact with him, leaving him with a powerful Physical Body but unable to land a hit.
Clearly, they intended to wear him down and kill him this way.
Realizing the problem, Wang Ning began to concentrate his energy on one person, aiming for a breakthrough.
And the person Wang Ning targeted was not Zhao Er, but Wang Da.
Although his heart was filled with killing intent towards Zhao Er.
Compared to hatred, Wang Da was the sword hanging over his head.
Because both the Sword Talisman and the sea of fire made Wang Ning smell death.
The unknown was terrifying; Wang Ning would rather force out Wang Da's trump cards than be killed by a single blow at a critical moment.
After all, with the former, he would have more reaction time.
The gap in Realms was huge, especially since Wang Da and the other two cooperated extremely well. Thus, it wasn't long before Wang Ning was already covered in wounds.
Another powerful Saber Qi struck, and Wang Ning, panting, resisted, then was sent flying, breaking the trees along the way.
However, while Wang Ning's situation was dire, Wang Da and the other two were not faring well either.
After all, they had already expended a large amount of Spiritual Qi fighting the Xuanling Python earlier, especially Wang Da, who even lost an arm.
Subsequently, during their battle with Wang Ning, their Spiritual Qi had already been completely depleted, and if not for the Medicinal Pills sustaining them, they might have already collapsed from exhaustion.
Therefore, even though Wang Ning was sent flying at this moment, they couldn't even press their advantage and instead quickly swallowed another Spirit Medicine.
"Damn it, this kid is really difficult to deal with!"
Wang Da's face was grim, and looking at the thick smoke not far away, a plan formed in his mind.
After being sent flying, Wang Ning quickly adjusted his posture. Fearing a follow-up attack, he rushed out of the dense fog and continued to charge towards Wang Da.
In response, Wang Da feigned exhaustion, looking very panicked, only dodging when Wang Ning was right in front of him.
Seeing such a good opportunity, Wang Ning no longer hesitated and punched towards Wang Da's face.
But at this moment, Wang Da suddenly showed a strange expression, and his right hand, burning with raging flames, struck towards Wang Ning's abdomen.
Wang Ning, however, also smiled slightly, then his figure suddenly vanished, reappearing behind Wang Da, repeating his previous action.
"How is this possible?"
Wang Da was greatly alarmed, clearly not anticipating such a change.
In fact, this was Wang Ning cultivating the Phantom Step, which allowed him to burst forth with incredibly terrifying speed for a short period.
Coupled with his powerful Physical Body, when he used it, it was like teleportation.
And this was a trump card Wang Ning had intentionally held back.
He had always fought with his Physical Body, deliberately making Wang Da and the others overlook his cultivation.
Although his cultivation was not strong, only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, compared to his Physical Body, it posed no threat to them at all, but it was precisely because of this that they ignored it.
And Wang Da's act of luring the snake out of its hole allowed Wang Ning to successfully approach him.
When Wang Ning's powerful and heavy fist, wrapped in abundant Spiritual Qi and accompanied by a Fist Wind, struck towards Wang Da, a look of genuine terror appeared on Wang Da's face for the first time.
However, Wang Da's combat experience was indeed rich; although Wang Ning's speed was fast, he still narrowly dodged it.
Nevertheless, he was hit in the shoulder by Wang Ning, which, though not fatal, rendered him half-crippled and incapacitated for battle.
Next, Wang Da desperately tried to distance himself from Wang Ning, while Zhao Er and Li San continuously attacked Wang Ning, clearly trying to save Wang Da.
However, Wang Ning relentlessly pursued him.
"Crack!"
When a crisp sound rang out, Zhao Er and Li San stared blankly at Wang Da's shattered head.
As for Wang Ning, at this moment, he wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Because although he had killed Wang Da, the cost was that his internal organs were almost displaced, and he was utterly exhausted, with little combat ability left.
After all, this was not a Secret Realm; although the Yao Beasts in the Secret Realm were numerous, they lacked intelligence and would only charge blindly, without any other actions.
Zhao Er and Li San, having recovered, continued to attack Wang Ning, wanting to avenge their elder brother.
Just as Wang Ning was wondering whether to escape into the Floating Pagoda, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted,
"Senior Sister, save me!"
