Chapter 155 Liquidation of Cause and Effect
Ningzhi hadn't been focusing on cultivation lately, so she only vaguely sensed that she was being affected by karma, but not as clearly as Gu Yuchuan. However, upon meeting, the influence of fate made them realize that they were now destined to determine a winner and loser, and even face life and death.
"Ningzhi, last time in the secret realm, I let you escape with your life. This time, I won't let you escape again."
Gu Yuchuan's voice carried a hint of murderous intent, and Ningzhi's expression gradually turned cold.
"If I remember correctly, the one who fled in panic last time was you, the snake demon, not me. You are really bold, daring to come to the heartland of my human race all by yourself. It seems you are prepared to die."
After he finished speaking, a precious pearl appeared in his hand. It looked like a high-grade spiritual artifact. Well, Ningzhi already had a top-grade magic artifact when she was in the Qi Refining stage, so it was expected that she would have a high-grade spiritual artifact now.
The pearl appeared to be blue-green and contained boundless power, which put some pressure on Gu Yuchuan.
Gu Yuchuan made the first move. This was the heartland of the human race, and he knew he had to act quickly. If the battle dragged on and the human cultivators sensed it, he would be in danger.
He gripped his spear tightly and unleashed a thrusting attack. His speed was incredible; his feet barely touched the ground as he moved, and in an instant, his figure flashed and shifted, becoming nothing more than afterimages to the naked eye.
Ningzhi gently touched the pearl in front of her, and two hurricanes flew out, blocking her way. The spear struck the hurricanes, and the intense shockwave made her hair fall loose. With her hair down, Ningzhi lost some of her elegance, but gained a more mad beauty.
A pair of Emei daggers appeared in her hand. She was not a pure magic cultivator; her physical cultivation was also quite good. The two engaged in close combat. Both of them followed a light and agile approach, and their speed and frequency of attacks were very high. In the blink of an eye, they had already exchanged over a hundred blows.
Now, Ningzhi felt pain in her tiger's mouth. She could sense that the snake demon's cultivation was much higher than hers. But why was this? She was exceptionally talented and had the resources of the royal palace, which was why she became a cultivator at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, and even at the Earthly Fiend Foundation Establishment stage. How could a wild mountain demon also be at the Earthly Fiend Foundation Establishment stage and have such a much higher cultivation?
She took two steps back, clasped her hands together, and the precious pearl in front of her shone brightly. Instantly, a tornado over a hundred meters tall appeared before them. This tornado had a great attraction, sucking in countless plants and dust.
Gu Yuchuan gripped the ground tightly, remaining motionless: "Ningzhi, is this all you've got? Compared to when you were practicing Qi cultivation, it doesn't offer any significant advantage. You might as well not resist and just die by my hand."
He even had time to mock others, which made Ningzhi's mood even worse. She had been in a bad mood lately, and now she was being mocked. She shouted loudly, and the tornado began to move slowly.
Gu Yuchuan wasn't stupid; he naturally knew he couldn't be caught in a tornado, as it looked extremely powerful. He immediately got up to take cover, but Ningzhi still had a backup plan.
A bell appeared in her hand. The bell had no other offensive function; it simply immobilized Gu Yuchuan, preventing him from escaping for a short time and forcing him to withstand the tornado.
He had no other choice but to activate the Golden Light Mantra to defend himself as much as possible; he still had confidence in the Golden Light Mantra.
He was completely disoriented by the tornado. Although it didn't cause him any real harm, it was very uncomfortable for him. He was dizzy and lightheaded, and even his grip on the spear was weak.
However, Ningzhi was certainly not satisfied with this result. This was already her most powerful attack, intended to kill her opponent in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, she only achieved such a small victory, which was obviously very disadvantageous to her.
However, admitting defeat was not in Ningzhi's nature. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she raised her Emei dagger and charged forward. This time, her technique was even more ruthless, and every strike was aimed at Gu Yuchuan's chest, hoping to kill him in one blow.
Although Gu Yuchuan was a little dizzy and lightheaded, he was still able to fight. However, his movements were indeed a bit slow, and he was being suppressed. This made him feel a little ashamed. He was supposed to be a genius who could fight beyond his level, but now it was so difficult to fight a cultivator with a lower cultivation level than himself. How could this be possible?
He bit his tongue, forcing out a drop of his own blood. Instantly, the intense pain brought him back to his senses. He gripped the spear even tighter, his eyes turning cold. He raised the spear, and instantly, a dragon's roar resounded. This was his battle technique, Flood Dragon Break.
With a clang, he thrust his spear out. Although it was blocked by the Emei daggers, he changed his move, gripping the spear tightly with both hands and starting to spin it like a giant windmill. The rotation brought tremendous power, and each spin was difficult for Ningzhi to withstand. After spinning it ten times, he also felt that he could not bear it. With each spin, his magic power and physical body were pushed to the limit.
Blood was already trickling from Ningzhi's lips; her injuries were severe. She was unwilling to accept this fate. She had run away from the wedding to survive, to find a way out, so how could she die here? However, she also knew clearly that her magical power was dwindling, and with her injuries, her chances of survival were extremely slim.
"Snake demon, I may not be able to defeat you, but even though my family has fallen on hard times, killing you is still a piece of cake. I'll be waiting for you on the road to the underworld!"
After saying that, Ningzhi actually self-destructed. She had her own pride, and since death was inevitable, she was unwilling to be humiliated, so she chose to end her own life.
However, Gu Yuchuan used his spear to shoot her in the chest, dantian, and heart. Who knows if she was faking death? After absorbing her essence, he immediately started to run away. This time, he definitely couldn't take the flying boat back. Otherwise, if he was stopped on the flying boat, he would have nowhere to run and would only face death.
While concealing his whereabouts, he hurried on his way. Meanwhile, the Prince's Mansion also learned that Ningzhi was now dead, and immediately began a search. The officials of Huaiyang City also began to help them. After all, she was the daughter of the Prince's family, a real county princess who had been officially granted a title. Her death here was obviously a big deal. If the Imperial Clan Court blamed them, their situation would be very difficult.
However, by this time, Gu Yuchuan had already run quite far.
