Chapter 560
Welcoming from All Sides
As he made his move, the surrounding void was scorched by the flames and became distorted.
As he flew forward, ripples spread through the air wherever he passed.
His imposing presence was so fierce that the color of the world around him changed.
Xiao Lingtian watched Ning Qi fly over and dared not be careless.
"Mysterious Heaven Armor".
He quickly summoned his protective armor and placed it firmly in front of him.
After the armor appeared, a series of buzzing sounds emanated from all around.
There were also mysterious inscriptions swirling around, spreading outwards.
"The armor is decent, but useless."
Ning Qi shook his head and stretched his hands forward again with force.
The flames on his hands began to change color.
It turned from crimson to black, and finally to a void of white.
"This is……"
"Chaotic Flames?"
Xiao Lingtian, being well-informed, naturally recognized the origin of his raging flames.
I never imagined that I would be fighting against someone who possesses such ancient flames.
This is a raging fire that can burn a person's soul to ashes, leaving no chance for reincarnation.
"Good eye, then prepare to die."
Ning Qi's eyes sharpened, then he opened his palms.
The chaotic flames suddenly erupted, transforming into countless fire dragons that devoured Xiao Lingtian.
The fire dragon bared its fangs and claws, shattering the void beneath its claws and revealing the surging gales within.
The fierce wind was so intense that it sent chills down one's spine.
"Wait a minute."
Seeing that things were going badly, Xiao Lingtian quickly said, "You're cheating."
"Cheating? What else do you want to say?"
Do you want me to fight you bare-handed?
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi immediately showed a disdainful expression.
"You're using the most precious treasures of the immortal race; I'm no match for you!"
Xiao Lingtian gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "This is not fair."
"Oh? You mean there should be fairness even in killing?"
Is this the custom in your lower realm?
Ning Qi smiled upon hearing his words.
His face was full of amusement.
Yes, that's right.
Xiao Lingtian said seriously.
"Okay, let's do it then."
Ning Qi grinned and then waved his hand.
Countless fire dragons soared into the sky and crashed into the heavens.
In just a moment, the dome above them was bombarded and roared.
Streaks of lightning flashed by, causing a chilling shockwave to erupt around them. In a short time, the weather here changed drastically, as if it were the end of the world.
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
These lightning bolts did not go to waste, striking down with their momentum.
All of them bombarded the enemies who were besieging Li Xiangrou and her group. More than a dozen half-step True Immortal experts were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
This immediately relieved Li Xiangrou and the others from their predicament. The strongest of the remaining assassins was only on par with Commander Li.
They pose no threat to them whatsoever.
"kill!"
"..."
Upon seeing this, Commander Li roared and charged out.
Li Xiangrou gave Ning Qi a deep look.
She knew Ning Qi was strong, but she never expected him to be this ridiculously strong.
She now has the ability to sense Ning Qi's strength.
"Boom!"
Finally, several muffled thunderclaps, each tens of feet thick, rolled in.
It struck Xue Jiancheng instantly.
"Oh no, we've been discovered."
Xue Jiancheng immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly retreated.
"Boom..."
However, these rumbling thunderbolts showed no intention of letting him go.
They pursued it relentlessly.
Finally, a muffled thunderbolt struck him directly.
Before he could go any further, he was bombarded and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
His whole body began to spasm uncontrollably, and in the blink of an eye, several more muffled claps of thunder rolled down.
"Damn, is this bastard that strong?"
Xue Jiancheng could only helplessly watch the lightning strike.
He finally lost consciousness and was directly killed.
However, before he died, he transmitted everything he had memorized through his jade pendant.
"Alright, now we can have a good fight."
Ning Qi concealed all his aura and looked coldly at Xiao Lingtian: "Old man, come on."
"Let's make this clear first, no magic weapons are allowed."
Xiao Lingtian swallowed hard and quickly said.
He had originally planned to take the opportunity to escape, but after seeing Ning Qi's methods, he abandoned his foolish idea.
Faced with Ning Qi, he had no ability to escape at all; he could only try to find an opportunity.
If they can severely injure Ning Qi, they will have a chance to escape.
"it is good!"
Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile, "Stop dawdling, come on."
"Go to hell!"
Xiao Lingtian roared, unleashing all his power, which transformed into a blazing beam of light as he attacked Ning Qi.
"call!"
Ning Qi took a deep breath and then channeled all his strength into his fists.
Seeing him rushing towards them, they suddenly attacked forward.
Xiao Lingtian had already secretly taken a seal-like object into his hand.
Just as he was about to get close to Ning Qi, he suddenly reached out and slapped him away.
"Mysterious Heaven Seal".
He roared and the seal was already in hand.
As it made its move, it suddenly grew larger, condensing into a chilling mark in the void.
It crashed down on Ning Qi like a mountain.
At this moment, the imposing presence of these mountains was not limited to one location.
Marks appeared in every direction around Ning Qi.
He was like an ant trapped in a confined space.
"Haha, you're finished!"
Xiao Lingtian laughed wildly and grinned, saying, "Under the Xuan Tian Seal, even a Golden Immortal would perish."
"Ning Qi, watch out!"
Li Xiangrou, who was far away, also rushed over, ready to help.
"Go away!"
Upon seeing this, Xiao Lingtian roared and struck out with a palm.
"boom!"
Caught off guard, Li Xiangrou was struck and immediately plummeted downwards.
However, just as she was about to fall, she suddenly threw out a mysterious sword.
"call out!"
The Xuan Sword was unleashed, transforming into a sharp sword beam that pierced through the void.
"Unbelievable!"
Xiao Lingtian snorted coldly and with a wave of his hand, sent her Xuan sword flying.
"Let him go, and I'll go with you."
Upon seeing this, Li Xiangrou panicked and quickly said, "You just want me dead, right? I'll grant your wish, but you have to release Ning Qi!"
"So your name is Ning Qi."
"It seems Princess Xiangxiang has fallen in love; she's even willing to die for you."
Xiao Lingtian snorted coldly and then said, "If you die now, I can spare half his life."
"Do you think you can trap me like this?"
Ning Qi was now able to speak.
Having just been caught off guard by a sneak attack, even his consciousness and five senses were momentarily controlled.
He was completely unable to control himself, but it was only when Li Xiangrou made her move that he regained control of his body.
"Hmph, then come out and try!"
Xiao Lingtian said disdainfully, "I'd like to see how you escape."
"Li Xiangrou, stay away." Ning Qi ignored him and told Li Xiangrou to leave first.
“Ning Qi, you…”
Li Xiangrou wanted to say something, but seeing his determined eyes, she ultimately chose to believe Ning Qi.
After saying that, he suddenly sped away.
Ning Qi then turned his cold gaze back to Xiao Lingtian in front of him.
A cold glint flashed in those eyes.
"Come."
Ning Qi waved his hand and took out the God-Slaying Bow.
As the God-Slaying Bow appeared, the entire space was shaken and rippled.
Then he drew his bow and nocked an arrow—an illusory arrow.
It was invisible at first, but later it was filled with his chaotic flames.
Xiao Lingtian looked at Ning Qi without panicking, clearly having full confidence in his attack.
"go with!"
The next moment, Ning Qi went straight to defense.
"Buzz!"
"Shh!"
The arrow, filled with blazing flames, pierced through the void in front of it in an instant.
When they arrived at the Xuan Tian Seal, a scene that shocked Xiao Lingtian unfolded.
The arrow encountered no resistance whatsoever and pierced through his Xuan Tian Seal in an instant.
"Shh!"
When Xiao Lingtian sensed something was wrong and prepared to escape.
The arrow was already at his chest.
"not good."
He immediately retreated.
They wanted to avoid the arrow's attack.
"puff."
However, the arrow seemed to have eyes; no matter how he dodged, it was always aimed at his chest.
After dodging several times, he was successfully hit in the chest by an arrow.
It pierced straight through, leaving a fist-sized hole in his chest.
With the aid of the chaotic flames, the bloody hole began to spread outwards.
In the blink of an eye, it grew several times larger.
"How about that? Your soul can't leave your body anymore, can it?"
Ning Qi had already arrived in front of him, coldly looking at Xiao Lingtian.
"You...you cheated!"
Xiao Lingtian looked at Ning Qi, his eyes filled with despair.
He had indeed tried to leave his body, hoping that his soul would leave his body and give him a chance to survive.
Unfortunately, he tried countless times, but to no avail; it was as if he was trapped inside his body.
"Oh? Then how should I kill you so that it doesn't seem like I'm cheating?"
Ning Qi smiled and looked at Xiao Lingtian in front of him: "You said you'd fight bare-handed, so what kind of Xuan Tian Seal did you use to do that?"
"You're using a celestial treasure, while I'm just using an ordinary magic weapon. That's not fair."
Xiao Lingtian coughed up blood repeatedly, gritting his teeth as he said, "You have no sense of morality."
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to waste my time with you, go to hell."
Ning Qi snorted coldly, then summoned the Immortal-Slaying Sword and decapitated him with a single strike.
Then he carried his head down.
They quickly returned to Commander Li's side.
By this time, all the enemies here had been killed.
Only a few people were captured by them.
"Young Master Ning, are you alright?"
Commander Li saw him return and went up to ask.
"fine."
Ning Qi shook his head, then threw the head on the ground and said to the group of people, "Take this head back and tell your princess that we should line the streets to welcome her when we return, otherwise I will turn the imperial city into ruins."
"Did you hear me!"
Seeing that the men remained silent, Commander Li stepped forward and reprimanded them.
"Yes!"
"..."
They quickly agreed, each of them looking panicked.
I never imagined that even with a celestial master in charge, we could be beaten so badly that we couldn't even put up a fight.
Therefore, Princess Xiangxiang's people must have unfathomable strength.
"roll!"
Commander Li coldly looked at the crowd: "If I didn't need you to deliver the message, I would have ground you to dust."
"Yes Yes……"
"We're leaving now."
The group nodded quickly, picked up Xiao Lingtian's head, and fled the scene.
After everyone left, Li Xiangrou came over.
"Ning Qi, thank you."
She thanked Ning Qi.
"I've already said, there's no need to be so polite."
Ning Qi shook his head, then looked at the road ahead: "Alright, we can set off now."
"Presumably they won't bother us on our journey anymore."
“Young Master Ning, this Xiao Lingtian is one of the top three experts in our Yue Kingdom.”
"Since you've already killed him, the remaining two won't make a move either."
"Moreover, one of these two people is His Majesty's man, so he would never lay a hand on you."
"The reason why the eldest princess was so presumptuous in the past was because she had Xiao Lingtian backing her up."
"Now that he's been killed, our path will be clear from now on!"
Commander Li added, "Unexpectedly, the eldest princess actually sent Xiao Lingtian. Now she'll have to consider her future."
"Well, in that case, let's go."
"Having arrived in the capital, everything went smoothly, so I must take my leave now!"
Ning Qi nodded, and then got into the carriage.
"set off!"
Seeing this, Commander Li waved his hand, signaling everyone to continue on their way.
Li Xiangrou also boarded the carriage, and the procession continued its journey.
Continue walking along this official road.
When they reached the outskirts of the city, they could see from afar that there were some people standing and watching.
"The middle-aged man leading the group is the one who's holding Wang Mang back."
Commander Li recognized the middle-aged man at a glance.
He looked very imposing, giving off an aura of authority without being angry. He was surrounded by some civil officials and some guards.
When they saw Ning Qi and his convoy, they all became serious.
Some people seemed a little nervous.
"They must have just returned. We told them about our situation when we passed by here!"
"Otherwise, these people probably wouldn't have come out to greet us like this."
Ning Qi glanced ahead and said disdainfully, "These people are not worth using."
"I understand. These are all my eldest sister's people. I will eliminate them all when I get back!"
Li Xiangrou had already made up her mind, and after listening to Ning Qi's words, she spoke directly.
"If you're going to do something, do it decisively and ruthlessly, leaving no room for future trouble!"
Ning Qi nodded in agreement, supporting her idea.
Only in this way can I ensure that I can rest easy.
"Welcome, Your Highness!"
"..."
It was at this moment that they unknowingly arrived in front of this group of people.
Wang Mang led the way and bowed respectfully.
The others also knelt down, their faces showing respect.
"Get up, everyone."
Commander Li stepped forward and looked at the crowd indifferently.
At his word, none of these people dared to get up.
"Alright, don't be so polite, move aside."
At this moment, Li Xiangrou spoke up.
His eyes also held a cold expression.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"..."
Only after she gave the order did the people get up and make way.
"Your Highness, you have come from afar. Please come and have a seat at my residence."
Wang Mang then respectfully extended the invitation. (End of Chapter)
