Chapter 578: Instant Kill
Chapter 578: Instant Kill
As the Primordial Fire Lotus exploded, Chu Ning's body also appeared in the air.
He had been hiding in the teleportation array and had even cast a seal spell, making it impossible for Huang Kui to see or sense him.
After discovering Huang Kui and the others, Chu Ning wasted no time and took action without hesitation.
Aside from the fact that Fan Zeixian had been severely injured by him, the grudge between them had already been firmly established.
The fact that the Annihilation Hammer was in his possession also couldn't be revealed at this time.
Otherwise, he feared he might not be able to leave the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain.
Since he had already made his move outside the Nine Transformation Palace, he might as well finish the job.
First, he unleashed two Primordial Fire Lotuses, and in the next moment, Chu Ning flicked his fingers.
The Ziyang Spirit Flame locked onto Huang Kui and attacked.
At the same time, Chu Ning channeled his magical power into the Shadow Demon Spear with wild abandon.
Just as the Ziyang Spirit Flame reached Huang Kui, the Shadow Demon Spear, having absorbed eighty percent of Chu Ning's magical power, flashed and disappeared into the air.
Its target was the other Late-stage Essence Incarnation Cultivator from the Demon Vortex Sect.
Chu Ning was well aware that if he were to be caught in the crossfire of the three, his current strength would still be at a disadvantage.
The best approach was to ensure a one-hit kill, eliminating one of them first.
Among the three opponents, Huang Kui's strength was undoubtedly the strongest.
Lu Xuedao and the Late-stage Essence Incarnation Cultivator from the Demon Vortex Sect were likely of similar prowess.
However, Lu Xuedao, even with Fan Zeixian's assistance, had failed to gain the upper hand against Chu Ning.
At this moment, Lu Xuedao was likely on high alert.
Moreover, Chu Ning always felt that Fan Zeixian and Lu Xuedao's attitudes towards him were somewhat peculiar.
When they looked at him, they couldn't help but reveal a hint of apprehension.
Considering Lu Xuedao's vigilance, the Late-stage Essence Incarnation Cultivator from the Demon Vortex Sect became the ideal choice.
In fact, this Late-stage Essence Incarnation Elder from the Demon Vortex Sect never expected Chu Ning to target him first.
After withstanding the impact of the Primordial Fire Lotus alongside Huang Kui and Lu Xuedao, he saw the Ziyang Spirit Flame rushing towards Huang Kui.
The formidable power emanating from it startled the Late-stage Essence Incarnation Elder, even though it wasn't aimed directly at him.
He was still wondering if this flame would explode like the previous Primordial Fire Lotus and whether he should join Huang Kui in defending against the shockwave.
As for the long spear in Chu Ning's hand, this Elder thought it was meant for Lu Xuedao.
After all, from what he had seen earlier, Chu Ning seemed to have some entanglement with Lu Xuedao.
But at this very moment, the Shadow Demon Spear flashed and disappeared, suddenly appearing right in front of him.
Along with the spear, Chu Ning also appeared, holding the Annihilation Hammer.
This scene startled the Late-stage Essence Incarnation Elder from the Demon Vortex Sect, almost frightening him out of his wits.
His first reaction was to activate a black round shield in front of him.
Simultaneously, he teleported away to evade Chu Ning's Annihilation Hammer attack.
Indeed, he was incredibly swift, managing to create a distance of over ten zhang between himself and Chu Ning.
But just as his figure appeared, the Shadow Demon Spear, like a shadow, tore through the heavens and pursued him relentlessly, slamming into the round shield.
The Shadow Demon Spear's attack, which harnessed spatial power, locked onto its target, and even with teleportation, the Demon Vortex Sect Elder couldn't escape.
The Elder's attention had been entirely focused on the Annihilation Hammer in Chu Ning's hand, and when the Shadow Demon Spear truly struck, he realized the formidable power of this spear.
Even though the black round shield in his hand was a decent defensive treasure, it couldn't withstand the impact of the Shadow Demon Spear, which pierced right through it.
The demonic energy on the shield was also directly destroyed by the overwhelming power of the Shadow Demon Spear.
Immediately, the spear pierced into the body of the Demon Vortex Sect Elder, stabbing through his back.
Even though the pitch-black round shield had blocked some of the impact, the formidable destructive power of the Shadow Demon Spear still shocked the Demon Vortex Sect Elder.
Powerful demonic energy flooded into his body, and even though he cultivated demonic arts using this energy, he couldn't resist it.
As he felt his vitality rapidly fading, Chu Ning had already closed the distance.
The Demon Vortex Sect Elder couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"Grand Elder, save me!"
Huang Kui had just withstood the Primordial Fire Lotus when he was attacked by the Ziyang Spirit Flame.
He also thought this flame would explode like the Primordial Fire Lotus, so his first reaction was to defend.
But when the Ziyang Spirit Flame touched his defensive shield, it ignited.
In the blink of an eye, it had turned into raging flames, completely enveloping him.
Huang Kui's body instantly erupted with grayish-white demonic energy.
Although these demonic energies appeared, they quickly dissipated under the assault of the Ziyang Spirit Flame.
But at the same time, the Ziyang Spirit Flame was rapidly dissipating.
The Grand Elder of the Demon Vortex Sect, with his formidable demonic cultivation, managed to withstand the assault of the Ziyang Spirit Flame.
Just then, he heard the shocked exclamation of his fellow sect elders.
He immediately scanned the area with his divine sense and was startled by what he sensed.
"Save him!"
Huang Kui shouted towards Lu Xuedao, and at the same time, a surge of grayish-white aura erupted from his body.
All the grayish-white aura transformed into a ferocious beast, rushing towards the Ziyang Spirit Flame on the outskirts.
At the same time, a bone staff appeared in his hand.
Streams of demonic energy attacked from the staff.
Under such an aggressive assault, the Ziyang Spirit Flame was finally completely dispersed by Huang Kui.
At the same time, on the other side, Lu Xuedao had Fan Zeixian's Primordial Spirit Wood, which housed his Yuan Ying, strapped to his back.
He then soared into the air, holding a golden longsword, and slashed towards Chu Ning.
However, Lu Xuedao didn't hold much hope for the effectiveness of his strike.
When he had previously teamed up with Fan Zeixian, he had tested it; Chu Ning possessed a defensive magical treasure with exceptional resilience.
His own innate magical treasure couldn't breach the opponent's defense.
Indeed, at this moment, Chu Ning didn't cease his attack on the Demon Vortex Sect elder due to Lu Xuedao's incoming golden longsword.
The Mystic Turtle Shield had already formed an outer layer, like a sturdy battle armor, completely withstanding Lu Xuedao's assault.
The Annihilation Hammer in his hand was already swinging, smashing towards the head of the Demon Vortex Sect elder!
"Stop!"
Huang Kui, who had just escaped from the Ziyang Spirit Flame, witnessed this scene and let out a stern shout.
Simultaneously, he waved his bone staff, unleashing a grayish-white aura several zhang in size, swirling towards Chu Ning.
The entire sky seemed to turn grayish-white in that instant.
Upon seeing this, Lu Xuedao's eyes lit up, and he immediately manipulated his golden longsword to continuously launch attacks.
He aimed to wear down the defense of Chu Ning's magical treasure first, allowing Huang Kui's strike to be more effective.
Even facing the powerful assaults of two Late-stage Essence Incarnation Cultivators, Chu Ning showed no signs of letting up.
"Boom!"
As the Annihilation Hammer struck down,
The head of the Demon Vortex Sect elder, a Late-stage Essence Incarnation Cultivator, spun several times on his neck.
Then, it fell directly from his neck onto the ground.
Faintly, one could see a Primordial Spirit attempting to escape.
But from behind, a transparent glow swept over, and wherever it passed, the Primordial Spirit instantly turned into nothingness!
Unlike Fan Zeixian, who had been severely injured by the Shadow Demon Spear but managed to preserve a strand of his Primordial Spirit, this Demon Vortex Sect elder was not so fortunate.
He was killed in one strike by Chu Ning, aided by his two treasures.
Upon witnessing this, Huang Kui's eyes widened in fury.
"You shall die!"
As he roared in anger, the grayish-white aura accelerated towards Chu Ning.
This grayish-white aura was incredibly formidable, filled with abundant magical power and astonishing demonic energy.
The powerful demonic energy even caused the surrounding spiritual energy to fluctuate abnormally.
Lu Xuedao, seeing Huang Kui's furious strike, quickly dodged to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
But before leaving, he pinched a spell with his hand and threw the golden longsword again.
The golden longsword emitted a clear ringing sound, also rushing towards Chu Ning.
Evidently, he was thinking that with his and Huang Kui's combined efforts, they could break through Chu Ning's defense and even severely injure him.
What delighted both Huang Kui and Lu Xuedao even more was that at this moment, Chu Ning seemed to have no time to escape after killing the Demon Vortex Sect elder.
He couldn't even summon his magical treasure, only using some secret technique to counter their attacks.
"Even if this person's secret technique is powerful, facing such magical treasure attacks, he won't be able to withstand much.
With our combined efforts, we can definitely break through his defense.
We might even be able to kill him in one go.
This way, even if the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle appears, under the restrictions of the Nine Transformation Spirit Mountain, our combined strength is more than enough."
With this thought, Huang Kui, holding the bone staff, accelerated forward.
At the same time, Lu Xuedao, who had been flying backward, now flew forward again.
He continuously formed hand seals, and two golden rays condensed between his palms.
He prepared to launch another powerful attack once Chu Ning's defense was breached.
However, the following scene left both Huang Kui and Lu Xuedao stunned, their eyes wide open.
As Chu Ning casually waved his hand, a black rift suddenly appeared not far in front of him.
Whether it was the astonishing demonic energy attacking from Huang Kui or Lu Xuedao's golden longsword,
After touching the black crack, they were directly swallowed up.
Then, after the black crack flashed and disappeared, the grayish-white malevolent aura and the golden longsword vanished without a trace.
It was at this moment that Chu Ning used the secret technique, Void Crack!
"Space Crack!!"
"Space Crack!!"
Huang Kui and Lu Xuedao both exclaimed in shock almost simultaneously.
Their figures also involuntarily paused.
Both of them looked at Chu Ning with a mixture of surprise and suspicion, especially Lu Xuedao, whose life-bound magical treasure had been swallowed by the spatial crack.
His expression grew even more somber.
Chu Ning, however, did not immediately launch another attack.
He waved his hand, retracting the Shadow Demon Spear.
Holding the Shadow Demon Spear in one hand and the Annihilation Hammer in the other, he stared at the two, Huang Kui and Lu Xuedao, who were looking at him with uncertainty.
Lu Xuedao's expression changed several times before he looked at Chu Ning and said, emphasizing each word:
"You are not Chu Ning; you are that Cangxuan Sacred Turtle!"
Hearing Lu Xuedao's words, Chu Ning was slightly taken aback.
Why was he suddenly associated with the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle?
Huang Kui, upon hearing this, showed a look of realization.
At the same time, from the Purple Infant Divine Wood on Lu Xuedao's back, Fan Zeixian's exclamation could be heard.
"Indeed, you are not Chu Ning; you are that spirit turtle.
Otherwise, how could a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator have such cultivation?
Not only can you withstand the pressure of these Primordial Energy Restrictions, but you can also break through various Primordial Energy Restrictions and even unleash such a shocking attack."
Huang Kui's eyes also flickered with caution as he looked at Chu Ning.
"Indeed, he can even tear through space; he must be a Demigod Realm cultivator!!"
As he spoke, Huang Kui felt somewhat more at ease.
Chu Ning's previously displayed abilities were too powerful. If he were accompanied by the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle, even Huang Kui would have no choice but to run.
But if Chu Ning was the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle, a Demigod Realm cultivator, he might have no hope of competing in the outside world.
However, within the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, there are restrictions that suppress the full power of a Demigod Realm cultivator.
This gave Huang Kui a bit more confidence.
People are always more wary of the unknown.
If it came to a direct confrontation with a Demigod Realm cultivator, Huang Kui would have his own plans.
Chu Ning listened to the three of them, each speaking about the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle, and inwardly found it amusing.
At this moment, his mind raced, and he guessed the general situation.
It seemed that Fan Zeixian had seen the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle act on his behalf in the Northern Chill region before.
Combined with the various abilities he had displayed in the Nine Transformations Spirit Mountain, they mistakenly believed that he was possessed by the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle.
Chu Ning, however, had no interest in explaining. He looked at Huang Kui and Lu Xuedao and said calmly:
"Whether I am the Cangxuan Sacred Turtle or not, you will know once you try."
As he spoke, a figure the size of an infant suddenly flew out from Chu Ning's body.
It was Chu Ning's Primordial Spirit.
Outside the Primordial Spirit's body was the Mystic Turtle Shield, and in his hands were the Five Elements Spirit Sword, the Yellow Wind Banner, and other life-bound magical treasures.
With a wave, several extremely powerful attacks were unleashed toward Lu Xuedao.
At the same time, Chu Ning's physical body, holding the Shadow Demon Spear and the Annihilation Hammer, moved swiftly and rushed toward Huang Kui.
Originally, Huang Kui and Lu Xuedao had communicated telepathically, agreeing to work together to avoid being picked off one by one by Chu Ning.
Seeing this, they were somewhat baffled.
"This person's Primordial Spirit is identical to his appearance; could he really just be an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Huang Kui had this thought, but he quickly dismissed it.
At that moment, the Shadow Demon Spear flashed in the air and was already hurtling toward him.
Having just witnessed an elder from his sect being attacked, Huang Kui dared not be careless.
In a flash, he tried to use the Teleportation Technique to escape.
But just then, he suddenly felt a fluctuation of spatial power.
Simultaneously, a black crack appeared to his side.
Startled, Huang Kui stopped his movement and raised his bone staff to meet the Shadow Demon Spear.
The Shadow Demon Spear was a formidable weapon, imbued with the true demon aura from a Foreign Devil.
Although the malevolent aura on the bone staff was also formidable, it could not withstand such demonic aura.
The grayish-white aura on the bone staff quickly dissipated upon impact.
Seizing this opportunity, Chu Ning used the Void Escape technique to flash in front of Huang Kui.
At the same time, the Annihilation Hammer struck down!
