“I really hate it when people purposely sow dissension. No one else has spoken but yet you’re chit-chatting over here. Clearly, you don’t have any good intentions and mean me ill so naturally, I cannot let you get away. You have a minute to say your last words.”


  Although Blood Demon was now terrified, Ding Ning had no intention of letting him off. The clear whip mark on Luoxue’s face was as if the whip had landed on his heart. His whole body trembled with the pain.

  He was full of anger with nowhere to vent it. Since this Blood Demon was sowing dissension, he must not be a good person. He might as well sharp his knife on him.

  Although he didn’t know why there were suddenly so many people here, since these people did not help Luoxue when she was being bullied, they all deserved to die, in his opinion. He was not worried about accidentally killing good people.

  “What an arrogant boy! You take yourself too seriously. Tell me, did you take the treasure?”


  Ice Demon could not wait around anymore. Although Ding Ning’s skills were strange and he was afraid, he knew he had to save Blood Demon’s life. Otherwise, where was the dignity of the Demonic Teachings Sect?

  Besides, no matter how powerful Ding Ning was, all the people present were here for the treasure. With the slightest provocation, these people would certainly attack him as a group. He could simply take advantage of the situation. At worst, he could run if he couldn’t beat him.

  “Who do you think you are to talk to my master like that? So reckless. Don’t think you can be arrogant just because you have the treasure. All these people here, can you kill all of them?”


  Seeing Ice Demon speak up for his master, Yun Yi became excited again. He was terrified in his heart. He had slapped Luoxue earlier.

  This guy even slapped the young lady of the Feng family without a word. If he knew that he had slapped Luoxue, he would not let him off. He had to cooperate with Ice Demon and trigger everyone’s animosity.

  “Ack!”


  A hurried and short-lived scream started and stopped abruptly. Ding Ning’s figure slowly appeared beside Yun Yi. Yun Yi’s mouth was wide open and his grieved eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and fear. With a crack, his head fell against his shoulder. Ding Ning had snapped his neck.

  “You dare to slap my sister; death is too good for you.”


  An icy light flashed through Ding Ning’s eyes. As if he had done a trivial thing, he lightly dusted off his hands.

  Luoxue had forgotten to tell him but that did not mean the Air Force Wings would not tell him. During this time, the Air Force Wings had already detailedly related the entire incident to him through their spiritual connection.

  This made it impossible to suppress the angry fire in Ding Ning’s heart. He did not dare to think about what would have happened to Luoxue if he had come out a little later and the three loyal Air Force Wings had died.

  However, he greatly admired Zhuo Yifan and Ning Ye’s behavior. Despite not being friends or family, the extent to which they protected Luoxue was already very good. This made him glance unconsciously toward Zhuo Yifan and gave him a grateful look.

  But when he looked toward Ning Ye, the guy ducked his head and did not give him the opportunity to meet his eyes. This gave him pause and a strange thought grew in his heart. This kid didn’t have thoughts of picking up Luoxue, right?

  If Ning Ye knew of Ding Ning’s thoughts at this moment, he would certainly grit his teeth and chase after him.

  Ning Ye, Ning Ye, one character each from Ding Ning and Ye Duxing’s name. Ye Duxing (Night Lone Ranger) had only come out of boredom to see what was happening. One way or another, he had randomly chosen this alias.

  If she knew that Luoxue was Ding Ning’s sister, she would not allow Feng Ni’er to bully her even if it meant exposing her identity.

  “You, you killed Yun Yi? Go die!”


  Blood demon’s eyes were bloodshot. He had only taken in Yun Yi this one disciple his entire life and had poured almost all of his heart and soul into him.

  He had not expected for him to be killed just like that by Ding Ning, how could he remain calm? Blood rushed to his head and he let out a roar as he charged at Ding Ning with bloodshot eyes.

  “Those who insult will be insulted, and those who kill will be killed. What? You and your disciple can kill the Seven Demons of Cangnan but I can’t kill your disciple?”


  A strange smile pulled up a corner of Ding Ning’s mouth as he said lightly.

  From Blood Demon’s initial attempt at dissension to Ice Demon and Yun Yi’s words that explicitly and implicitly implied that he had obtained the treasure, he, who now understood all that had happened, had been calculating how best to create chaos in this situation.

  He knew what the treasure meant to these warriors. No matter how much his cultivation had improved and no matter how confident he was, he did not dare to say he could fight everyone present.

  Thus, he had to stir up the dilemmas between these people and divide them. The Seven Demons of Cangnan had died to Blood Demon’s disciple. Demon of Fire was desperate for revenge but did not dare to take action because he feared Ice Demon’s cultivation.

  So he drew away Ice Demon’s attention so that Demon of Fire could deal with Blood Demon. Thus, Ding Ning purposely made clear that the Seven Demons of Cangnan had died to Blood Demon and his disciple’s hands. He dodged Blood Demon’s attack and took the initiative to turn and charge toward Ice Demon.

  After Demon of Fire had examined his disciples’ bodies, he already knew that they had died to Blood Demon’s hands. He was just afraid of Ice Demon and did not dare to take action lightly.

  But at this moment, Ding Ning was dealing with Ice Demon so how could Demon of Fire continue to wait? With a shout, he said, “Blood demon, bring your life to me.”


  “How dare you!”


  Ice Demon watched as Ding Ning flamed Demon of Fire’s hatred of Blood Demon. In a rage, he met Ding Ning’s charge and struck out with a palm. A bone-chilling coldness covered the surrounding ten-meter radius with a layer of frost.

  However, Ding Ning was someone who had conquered the underworld fire and broken through the ice. The icy chill that made everyone else pale and hide had no effect on him at all.

  He sank Qi into his Dantian and curved his legs slightly. Without even using his True Qi, he wanted to test the pure strength of his body. In a loud voice, he said, “Good one!”


  With a boom, the air surged terrifyingly.

  Ice Demon was sent flying outward with this punch fueled by nothing but Ding Ning’s bodily strength. After he landed, he stumbled back a number of steps. His blood surged and, with a sudden sweetness in his throat, a mouthful of blood that could no longer be suppressed came spraying out.

  There was a dead silence. No one had expected that Ice Demon would not even be able to endure one punch from Ding Ning before spitting blood. Abruptly, they glanced at the god-like Ding Ning and secretly wondered when did such a young and powerful warrior appear in the ancient martial world?

  Having just woken up, Feng Ni’er saw this scene and a trace of fear flashed through her eyes. She no longer dared to be arrogant.

  After all, this was the secular world not somewhere where she could do as she wished. However, she had already made up her mind. When she returned to the ancient martial world, she would immediately send out assassins to kill Ding Ning.

  How old was he? Just over twenty years old, but yet he was able to defeat Ice Demon with one punch. Once such an enemy grew up, they would definitely become her nightmare, particularly given his hatred of the Feng family. She must nip the threat in the bud.

  Long Xiaotian’s gaze burned and a powerful desire to fight rose in his heart. He wished he could have a lively battle with Ding Ning. His cultivation had reached the apex of the Earth Martial Arts Realm but he was still unable to break through into the Sky Martial Arts Realm.

  The Imperial Fist was particular about using battle to nurture battle. One could only have the opportunity to make a breakthrough in a life and death battle.

  But because of his identity and status, he could not find an evenly matched opponent. There was no pressure when fighting those weaker than him. But those who were more powerful took into consideration his status and held back their attacks and so he could not feel the pressure of a life and death battle. This has caused him to stall at the apex of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, unable to make a breakthrough.

  In the ancient martial world, the only person so far to break into the Sky Martial Arts Realm before 30 was Ye Duxing. How could he, who was seemingly carefree but actually proud, accept it? He was Long Xiaotian, known as the best in the ancient martial world among the younger generation.

  Of course, although Ye Duxing had broken through ahead of him, he was still the best of the ancient martial arts. After all, Ye Duxing was a spiritual master and not an Ancient Warrior. So if he could break into the Sky Martial Arts Realm soon, the title of the best martial artist was still his. However, in his opinion, this “best” albeit came with a lot of fluff.

  He had always had a high opinion of himself. Losing to Ye Duxing already made him very uncomfortable and now there was Ding Ning, this strange person. Younger than him but it seemed that he had already broken through to the Sky Martial Arts Realm. How could he not be anxious?

  Actually, strictly speaking, Ding Ning had only just reached the first stage of the Earth Martial Arts Realm but because his cultivation series was different from everyone else’s and in addition he had gone through the inhuman experience of being refined as a weapon, this made his battle power unparalleled.

  Among all these people, the one who was most shocked was Ye Duxing. She had once thought that if Ding Ning could reach the Sky Martial Arts Realm within three years, she would give him a chance to pursue her.

  But this had only been a few days and Ding Ning could make Ice Demon, who was at the apex of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, spit blood with just one punch. Judging by his superior battle strength in his earlier killings, his cultivation was at least at the initial stages of the Earth Martial Arts Realm.

  This stunned Ye Duxing. This guy’s improvement was so fast, and he wouldn’t need three years to break into the Sky Martial Arts Realm. When the time came, should she give him a chance to pursue her?

  Ye Duxing muttered to herself uncertainly. Although she had not made up her mind, a strange sense of pride rose in her heart. After all, this was her only man.

  Even though this man was far from reaching her standards, a woman would always have special feelings toward her first man and Ye Duxing was no exception.

  However, once she remembered that this guy had hit Feng Ni’er, she felt her head hurt and was deeply worried for him. The ancestor of the Feng family was not a reasonable person. If not for him spoiling her in all things, Feng Ni’er would not have become so arrogant and overbearing.

  The sect she was in could protect Ding Ning and could deter the old Feng ancestor from seeking revenge but the problem was that she didn’t even dare to tell her master and the seniors in her sect that she had already lost Yuanyin, much less ask them to protect Ding Ning.

  She knew the personalities of her master and seniors better than anyone, who looked down heavily on people of the secular world. If she dared to tell the truth, the Feng family wouldn’t even need to do anything, for her master and seniors would be the first to destroy Ding Ning.

  Unless…… Ding Ning demonstrated a level of strength that her master and seniors needed to enthusiastically attract. Otherwise, they would not accept Ding Ning, a martial artist of the secular world.

  But right now, although his strength was already stunning, it was still very far from the level it would need to be for her master and seniors to take him seriously. This troubled her greatly. Matters seemed to have entered an endless cycle and could not be resolved.

  “What a powerful treasure! he, at the initial stage of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, was able to injure me.”


  Ice Demon covered his chest and his expression flickered uncertainly. When he spoke, his face was full of anger.

  “So it was the effect of the treasure, no wonder that kid could beat Ice Demon.”


  “No wonder, look at how young he is, how could he so powerful? It was the effect of the treasure.”


  “I said there couldn’t be that many geniuses in this world, Even Long Xiaotian, this genius, has not broken into the Sky Martial Arts Realm yet. How could this no-name pawn of the secular world be more talented than him?”


  “Yeah, so it was the treasure that’s powerful. That explains everything.”


  “I wonder what kind of treasure it is for it to be so powerful that one can fight outside one’s realm.”


  “Doesn’t this mean that whoever gets the treasure can fight beyond their realm? I’m at the apex of the Xuan Martial Arts Realm. If I can get the treasure, doesn’t that mean I can have the battle power of a warrior in the mid-stage of the Earth Martial Arts Realm?”
……

  Sudden understanding dawned on everyone as they heard Ice Demon’s words and even their breathing came quicker. The gazes turned toward Ding Ning flashed with greed.
