38: Chapter 38 Last Words

Before the sword light had even dissipated, the deity transformation puppet and Wang Dehai turned into two streaks of light and charged straight at each other.

Wang Dehai knew very well that if he didn't deal with the Puppet in front of him, he wouldn't be able to get past it to deal with Ning Yuan.

So he immediately charged toward the Puppet, seeking to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

Seeing Wang Dehai and the deity transformation puppet engage in battle, Divine Sword and Sect Master Tie Xue no longer delayed and prepared to attack Ning Yuan.

But before the two of them could act, Mu Tiancheng took the initiative to strike first, with streaks of black sword light enveloping them.

Left with no choice, the two of them had to abandon their attack on Ning Yuan and instead used their moves to block the black sword light.

Divine Sword laughed heartily and said: "Hahaha! I didn't expect to be able to fight Senior Mu in my lifetime, it is truly this junior's honor!"

"Let me test the weight of the former number one person of qingzhou!"

After saying that, a strong Sword Intent erupted from Divine Sword's body as he held his Natal Sword and charged toward Mu Tiancheng.

Seeing this, Sect Master Tie Xue could only grit his teeth and follow, a Blood-Colored Long Spear appearing in his hand, which he swung to create spear shadows that attacked Mu Tiancheng.

Mu Tiancheng was completely fearless, frequently sending out black sword light, and for a moment, he actually suppressed the two of them.

However, the situation in the other battle was not so good; the deity transformation puppet was steadily retreating under Wang Dehai's attacks, completely outmatched.

Ning Yuan saw this and was anxious, but he had no way to help.

Fortunately, Mu Tiancheng also noticed this problem, so the battlefield of the three slowly moved toward Wang Dehai's side.

Divine Sword and Sect Master Tie Xue also saw through his intentions; the two of them spared no effort in their attacks, but with little effect.

Sect Master Tie Xue, caught between the two, was suffering immensely; he had only just achieved a Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, so how could he compare with the other two?

Consequently, he fought with extreme difficulty and was covered in wounds; if not for Divine Sword looking out for him, he would have been hacked to death long ago.

At this moment, Ning Yuan received a voice transmission from Mu Tiancheng: "Kid, I will block Wang Dehai. Find an opportunity to escape with Yaoer!"

Ning Yuan was startled; why would he say such a thing? He quickly replied via voice transmission: "Senior, you..."

"Don't speak, just listen to me!" Mu Tiancheng directly interrupted Ning Yuan and continued, "I might as well tell you, I'm currently just experiencing a final radiance! I won't live much longer! My strength won't last much longer either!"

Hearing this, Ning Yuan was stunned, and then huge waves surged in his heart; he simply couldn't believe what he had heard.

Mu Tiancheng was actually not long for this world?

How was this possible?

He possessed Void Refining cultivation; his lifespan might not be infinite, but he should have several thousand years left. How could he be about to die?

"If you hadn't pulled me back from my demonic state, I naturally wouldn't be in danger of dying! My cultivation could even have increased rapidly!"

"But now that I have recovered, after several thousand years of being under the Seal, my body has long been exhausted, so naturally, I won't last much longer!"

He hadn't expected that it would be because of him that Mu Tiancheng was not long for this world. If he had known this would be the result, then he... but if he didn't do that, Mu Qingyao would probably also... For a moment, Ning Yuan's mind was in a mess, feeling that whatever he did was wrong.

"Kid, there's no need for you to have any psychological burden! I feel this is the best result, otherwise I wouldn't know how to face myself, face Yaoer, or face... everyone."

"Now the only thing I'm worried about is Yaoer, so I'm entrusting her to your care. Can you do it?"

Ning Yuan didn't know how to answer; his heart was filled with mixed emotions and a sense of unease.

Seeing that Ning Yuan hadn't answered for a long time, Mu Tiancheng shouted sternly: "Kid, answer my question! Can you do it?"

"I can!" Ning Yuan snapped back to his senses at the stern shout and immediately spoke firmly.

Since things couldn't be changed, there was no use thinking too much; the most important thing now was the predicament before them.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Ning Yuan's answer, Mu Tiancheng laughed loudly: "Good kid, I'll leave Yaoer to you from now on! Also, tell her one more thing: I'm sorry to her, and I'm sorry to everyone!"

"I'll give you one more piece of advice: be careful of the Heart Demon; the Heart Demon is not that simple!"

"Go quickly! There is a Secret Teleportation Array within the Qingyun Sect; Yaoer knows where it is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivation in Mu Tiancheng's body surged again, faintly touching the threshold of Void Refining.

This caused Divine Sword and Sect Master Tie Xue to be greatly alarmed; they hadn't expected Mu Tiancheng to still have strength in reserve, and for a time, the two found it hard to withstand him.

Since Mu Tiancheng's mind was made up, Ning Yuan couldn't say much more and had to respect his choice.

Immediately, he had the deity transformation puppet take a move from Wang Dehai head-on, and the Puppet flew backward with the momentum, distancing itself from Wang Dehai.

Mu Tiancheng took this opportunity to block Wang Dehai, giving him no chance to pursue.

At this time, Wang Dehai and the other two also sensed something was wrong, but they hadn't figured out what was happening yet.

Wang Dehai, who had been keeping an eye on Ning Yuan, noticed that Ning Yuan's figure was quickly moving away and immediately realized what was going on.

So he wanted to let Ning Yuan take the opportunity to leave; what a calculating move.

The other two also noticed Ning Yuan was escaping, but they were entangled by Mu Tiancheng and couldn't break free for the time being.

At that moment, a flash of inspiration hit Sect Master Tie Xue, and thinking of something, he shouted loudly:

"Everyone listen up! Whoever captures Ning Yuan will be rewarded with ten million Spirit Stones and can choose any Fourth-Grade Magic Treasure or Cultivation Technique!"

Seeing this, Divine Sword also shouted, not wanting to be outdone: "My Divine Sword Sect offers the same! Whoever can capture Ning Yuan can choose Spirit Stones, Magic Treasures, or Cultivation Techniques at will!"

These two voices echoed throughout the Qingyun Mountain Range, making everyone boil with excitement.

Many people had gathered here in the Qingyun Mountain Range; although they didn't know what had happened in the Legacy Land, they could still feel the fluctuations of Soul Transformation level combat.

Otherwise, they would have rushed in long ago; they wouldn't have waited until now.

The moment they heard the bounty, no one could sit still, and they all rushed into the Qingyun Sect.

Perhaps fearing that the crowd didn't know what Ning Yuan looked like, Sect Master Tie Xue even created an image of Ning Yuan and hung it high in the sky, for fear that they wouldn't recognize him and let him escape.

Thus, before Ning Yuan had run very far, he was surrounded by the crowd, who were watching him like tigers.

This made Ning Yuan shout abuse: "Damn Old Thing, it serves you right that your son died at my hands!"

He hadn't expected that Old Thing, Sect Master Tie Xue, would use such a tactic just to catch him.

The crowd surrounding Ning Yuan began to shout.

"Ning Yuan, you can't run! Surrender peacefully!"

"Exactly! I'm waiting to claim the reward!"

"Lest we have to act! It wouldn't be good if you ended up missing limbs!"

"..."

Looking at the crowd surrounding him, Ning Yuan became ruthless; since you're looking for death, I'll fulfill your wish.

He turned his head toward Nangong Xi and asked with a smile: "Do you regret coming along now?"

Nangong Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him; what time was it, and he still had the nerve to ask that? He really had some nerve.

"I regretted it long ago! But it's too late to regret now!"

"Since it's too late, then kill, kill until no one dares block the path!"

Bang!

After saying that, Ning Yuan was the first to charge out, directly striking with an Extreme Yang Great Hand Seal, burning several Cultivators in front of him to ashes.

Seeing this, Nangong Xi no longer hesitated and followed Ning Yuan's steps, striking out continuously.

The many Cultivators naturally wouldn't wait for death and began to counterattack; for a time, all kinds of attacks enveloped the two of them.

Boom boom boom!

But very few could hit Ning Yuan; he used Heaven Treading Steps to dodge them all, instead charging into the crowd and slaughtering in all directions.
