Chapter 167 The Helpful City Lord
As soon as he stepped into this area, Ning Jiasheng felt a chill, as if he was in ice water in the dead of winter, and his whole body was cold.
This kind of coldness is not just a physical feeling, but a chill that comes from the depths of the soul, which is creepy.
The spiritual power in the body seemed to be frozen, and there was a sense of sluggishness when it circulated.
And the miasma and demonic energy rushed towards her as if boiling.
However, because she became immune to all poisons after eating the Water Spirit Lotus, and her defense was improved due to her cultivation, the miasma did not cause any substantial harm to her.
It just made her body feel damp and unbearable, and her breath was filled with the stench of decay.
Ning Jiasheng kept his eyes and ears open, and mobilized his spiritual power to rush towards Qing Li.
However, after running for only a dozen miles, Ning Jiasheng felt the man-eating pressure coming from the sky.
The pressure appeared extremely suddenly, as if it was born from the void. In just a moment, it was already behind her.
Ning Jiasheng felt the hairs on her back stand on end, and at the same time, a deep feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged in her heart, telling her that giving up resistance was her only option.
"Hmph! Dreaming!"
She sneered and performed an extremely complicated movement at low altitude. First, her five fingers formed claws to break through the invisible restraints in an instant, then she grasped the long sword that appeared out of thin air, turned around and swung the sword with great force, then instantly changed her moves to dodge, almost flashing to the other side close to the ground, and only then did she narrowly avoid the black flame.
"boom!"
At first, a huge deep pit was blown out where she was.
Ning Jiasheng took a deep breath and calmly looked up at the sky, where two black flames were still burning.
There seemed to be something wriggling in the flames. Ning Jiasheng could feel the powerful evil of that thing. She held the sword tightly in her hand, waiting for the black flames to attack again.
Finally, the black flames moved again, this time two flames attacked together, and Ning Jiasheng also rushed forward with his sword.
This time, Ning Jiasheng did not dodge again, she chose to face it head-on.
The sword in his hand turned into several cold lights and slashed towards the two black flames.
The sword collided with the black flames, making a loud noise. Ning Jiasheng felt a huge force coming towards him, and at the same time something was transmitted along the sword to his hand.
Ning Jiasheng was shocked and immediately used his spiritual power in his right hand to force the thing out, but in an instant it uncontrollably changed back to its original form.
The long sword in the air paused, and two black flames instantly penetrated the sword and came close. In desperation, Ning Jiasheng suddenly jumped up, and a circle of orange-red flames emanated from his body, and he directly used spiritual power to fight back.
Although there was fire on the opposite side, it exuded a gloomy and eerie aura. Ning Jiasheng was surrounded by the flames transformed from his own spiritual power, but he was still affected by the opposite side and did not feel any warmth, only a bone-chilling cold.
The power of the black flame was too overbearing. After a while, Ning Jiasheng began to feel exhausted, and all kinds of strange noises gradually sounded in his mind.
Ning Jiasheng shook his head, and the voice became more wanton.
At the same time, strong winds were howling all around, the sky was getting darker, and many ghost shadows appeared in front of Ning Jiasheng's eyes, as if he was in a cold and gloomy hell.
Ning Jiasheng gritted his teeth and increased his strength to resist, while silently chanting a mantra to keep calm.
Lingru watched the two fierce battles in the water mirror for a while, and suddenly she pointed her finger to enlarge Ning Jiasheng's water mirror, and summoned a small complex six-star totem in the void, and tapped it a few times quickly.
A subordinate watching nearby said, "I remember seeing her in the Demon Realm a few days ago when she was still in the middle stage of the Core Formation stage. Could it be that she was hiding her level of cultivation back then?"
Ling Ru shook her head and said with a smile, "No, she has made another breakthrough, so this city lord has to increase her strength again."
Several exclamations of praise echoed around, with some demons marveling, "We were already astonished the other day when the City Lord revealed her identity. Seeing her again this time has finally made me realize just how truly gifted she is."
Another demon race enthusiastically continued, "She truly deserves to be the Sword Immortal's last disciple. If she had been born early enough, when they head south, the Sect Leader and the Lord of Shuoyue City would probably have been unable to resist exchanging a few moves with her."
Hearing this, someone else joked, "With her master here, it doesn't matter if she's missing. The leader is eagerly waiting to fight with the Immortal Azure Lotus."
The surrounding demons laughed when they heard this, knowing that the leader could hear any movement anywhere in the Demon Realm. After a few jokes, they turned their attention back to Ning Jiasheng.
"I remember she's only twenty years old this year, and she's advanced so quickly just through normal cultivation. So, after she comes out of the Cangwu Secret Realm and stays there for a while, I'll put her on the altar. She'll be able to ascend to at least two major realms."
At this point, the demon's tone unconsciously became excited: "By then, the God will be able to come out of seclusion, and the world will belong to us demons."
Ling Ru had been listening to them with great interest, and finally spoke up: "The God has his own plans regarding her. We just have to follow his orders."
The demon calmed down a bit, lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes! I overstepped my bounds."
Ling Ru knocked on the door, then turned to look at the two Shui Jings and ordered, "It's rare to see her run out on her own. Let's play with her for a while and then let her go. These two are almost done, go help them."
The outermost demon nodded, saluted, and flew out.
Ling Ru looked at the three people in the formation who were almost exhausted and smiled to herself, "Since it is said that the two sects are of the same blood, as fellow disciples, we should treat each other with sincerity. This city lord is here to lend a hand. You are welcome."
