251: Only one sword

“What the Dao Son said, Fairy Wind Caiwei will always remember and will definitely keep it with her at all times.”

Fairy Wind Caiwei immediately nodded solemnly, her gaze entirely fixed on the jade pendant. It was unclear if she had heard what Wu Ning said earlier.

Wu Ning didn't pay too much attention. Fairy Wind Caiwei's fate was stable, and her Immortal Luck was prosperous. She was by no means someone who would die young. Even if he hadn't helped her this time, her life wouldn't have been in danger. No matter what dangers she encountered, she would ultimately overcome them safely.

“Dao Son…”

Seeing Wu Ning prepare to leave, Fairy Wind Caiwei quickly called out.

“Hmm?” Wu Ning turned his head, giving her a questioning look.

Fairy Wind Caiwei's beautiful eyes watched him. She lightly pursed her lips. At this moment, it seemed as if she had a thousand words in her heart, but in the end, she merely smiled charmingly, and all the words in her heart transformed into a single phrase:

“Farewell!”

Wu Ning smiled upon hearing this, and nodded gently at her:

“Farewell!”

Then, his figure flickered and instantly vanished into the distance.

Watching the direction he left, Fairy Wind Caiwei gazed for a long time, and a hint of bitterness couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

Fairy Wind Caiwei, oh Fairy Wind Caiwei, in the end, you still backed down…

…

After leaving the Misty Immortal Abode, Wu Ning did not rush back to the Wu Clan.

Instead, he looked towards the edge of the Misty Immortal Domain, in the direction leading to the Wu Ji Immortal Domain. A black-clothed man with a sword on his back sat quietly in the starry sky, seemingly waiting for something.

Whoosh!

Wu Ning took a step, directly crossing half an Immortal Domain, and arrived in this starry sky.

As if sensing someone's arrival, the black-clothed man suddenly opened his eyes, and two sharp rays of light shot out from them.

The next moment, after seeing who the newcomer was, his eyes suddenly constricted, but then immediately returned to calm, becoming indifferent once more.

“Are you waiting for me?”

Wu Ning asked indifferently, with one hand behind his back.

The black-clothed man stood up straight, looking at Wu Ning calmly, his eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation, “I am Zhou Chen of the Great Zhou Immortal Clan. May I ask Your Excellency, was my Great Zhou Immortal Clan indeed destroyed by Your Excellency?”

He was the strongest Peak Immortal Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Clan in Sword Inquiry Ancient City, a peerless Sword Dao Prodigy whose cultivation had just broken through to the Immortal Emperor peak and was already capable of rivaling a Perfection Immortal Emperor.

He had another identity: he was a Disciple of a Sword Lord Old Ancestor from the Boundless Sword Sea.

And now, several million years had passed since his Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor peak, and his cultivation had already advanced further. He was now a Perfection Immortal Emperor.

Of course, Wu Ning wasn't too interested in his specific identity. After hearing his words, he nodded very frankly, “The Great Zhou Immortal Clan… yes, I destroyed them. If you want to avenge them, then make your move.”

“Also, that guy in the dark, stop hiding. Both of you come at me together.”

“What?”

Zhou Chen was shocked. Was there someone else in the dark? He hadn't noticed anything at all?

Buzz—!

The Heaven-Severing Divine Sword on his back trembled, instantly flying into his hand.

At the same time, he released his Divine Thought, sweeping it across the surroundings. Even the Void Realm was swept through, but after a thorough investigation, he found nothing.

“…”

A few breaths later, the starry sky remained silent, and no third person appeared.

“Hmph!”

“Do I have to invite you out?”

Following a cold snort from Wu Ning, a certain part of the starry sky immediately shattered like a mirror, revealing the figure of a gaunt old man.

Zhou Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. What a profound spatial concealment technique; he hadn't discovered any clues.

However, in comparison, Wu Ning, who had easily discovered this person, was even more unfathomable…

“Brat, how did you discover this old man?!”

The gaunt old man asked with a solemn expression.

Wu Ning naturally had no interest in enlightening him. Instead of answering, he asked, “Old geezer, why have you come?”

“Hehehe…”

The gaunt old man let out a sinister laugh, his eyes bloodthirsty, “Arrogant brat, listen well! This old man is the Soul Devouring Immortal Emperor of the Nine Li Divine Dynasty, ordered to come and take your dog life!”

“So, it's someone from the Nine Li Divine Dynasty.”

Wu Ning nodded slightly, then suddenly struck out, slapping the old man's withered face. The terrifying force directly sent his head flying.

It instantly separated from his Physical Body.

There was still a trace of confusion in the old man's eyes; he seemed not to have reacted yet, wondering how his perfectly fine head had suddenly flown off.

“Soul Devouring Immortal Emperor… Is he very powerful?”

Wu Ning sneered, instantly appearing before the old man's head. Under his horrified gaze, he stomped down fiercely, directly crushing it into a bloody mist.

“Ah—!”

The old man's Divine Soul was annihilated, and his scream abruptly ceased.

Wu Ning then waved his hand, shattering his Physical Body and extracting his Immortal Emperor Source Dao Fruit.

In his Origin World, Wu Ning discovered a Supreme Divine Decree, which he assumed was a trump card prepared for him by the person behind him.

Unfortunately, he died too suddenly, with no chance to use it.

Having done all this, Wu Ning turned to look at Zhou Chen, and said calmly, “Now, it's your turn.”

Witnessing an Immortal Emperor expert being instantly killed, without any power to resist throughout the entire process, Zhou Chen's expression became extremely solemn.

Although he had heard that the opponent was terrifying, he hadn't expected him to be terrifying to this extent.

That was a Peak Immortal Emperor! Although his strength was far inferior to his own, among the Immortal Emperors he knew, no one could instantly kill him as easily as Wu Ning!

Was this truly the power belonging to an Immortal Emperor?

A crazy thought suddenly popped into his mind for some reason…

Zhou Chen shook his head, casting aside all his thoughts.

He was a Sword Cultivator, destined to advance without hesitation, even unto death without regret!

What if the enemy was even stronger?

He had only one sword!

Sharp light burst forth from Zhou Chen's eyes, and his expression quickly returned to calm.

“Zhou Chen of the Great Zhou Immortal Clan, no regrets even in death!”

Hum hum—!

The Heaven-Severing Divine Sword sensed his resolve and immediately trembled violently, erupting with an incomparably brilliant sword light.

“Slash!!”

Zhou Chen held the Divine Sword, and Immortal power continuously poured into the Divine Sword. He fiercely slashed out a sword towards Wu Ning.

This sword strike fused his spirit and intent, fusing all his essence, Qi, and spirit. It was absolutely the Peak sword strike of his life.

Chii!

An incomparably brilliant sword light, hundreds of millions of feet long, slashed out, crushing the starry sky like withered branches, collapsing space-time, and forcing Dao principles to retreat.

It seemed to want to cleave the entire Immortal Domain apart, carrying an unparalleled and terrifying might, directly slashing towards Wu Ning.

At this instant, heaven and earth lost their color, silent and still, with only this incomparably brilliant sword remaining.

However, facing this terrifying, world-ending sword, Wu Ning merely looked at it with a single glance.

The next instant, the entire heaven and earth instantly solidified, space-time was frozen, and everything came to a complete halt, including that brilliant sword light.

It was as if a pause button had been pressed; everything, except for Wu Ning, remained motionless.
