Chapter 591: One Against Seven (7)
“My goodness, she actually came with such an intention, to push all those little monsters off their pedestals and then claim them for herself!
Those are all descendants of immortals with nine-tenths bloodline purity! Each one is a future hegemon of a region in the Cultivation World, each has a chance to shatter space and ascend to immortality in broad daylight, each is someone we look up to. And she wants to fight them all, one against seven!
She has already defeated four little monsters, so fighting seven isn’t impossible. Besides, don’t forget, her main body hasn’t appeared yet, and her main body is definitely higher in cultivation than her clone.
If an eight-tenths genius defeats seven nine-tenths peerless geniuses, then the bloodline theory will no longer hold water in the Cultivation World, and the status of immortal descendants will plummet!
Yes, this might be the reason Ning Xianzi had to enter the arena. Today, for them, victory is the only option, no matter the method.
The surrounding cultivators all felt their hair stand on end. They never expected there to be such a crazy person in this world, and moreover, a woman.
The people from Hua Rong Sect were no exception. They never dreamed that Qi Huang had come with such an intention.
‘Disciple, didn’t you say you came to the Evergreen Convention to broaden your horizons?’
Shi Yuqi asked Cheng Hong Ling with some trepidation.
‘Yes, it’s to broaden horizons, but not our own horizons, but to give everyone present a broadening of their horizons.’
Qi Huang interjected.
‘Martial Uncle Yuan, forgive my limited knowledge, but in the long history of the Cultivation World, has there ever been a little monster who required the top seven geniuses of the same generation combined to deal with?’
Shi Yuqi asked Yuan Protector with some fear.
‘No! Absolutely not! I can confirm that!’
Yuan Protector shook his head firmly.
‘My goodness, what kind of disciple did you take?’
Shi Yuqi looked at Qi Huang in the arena. As her master, her eyes showed a hint of awe. The look of smug satisfaction from before had long vanished.
‘Vice Alliance Leader, did you hear that? The new Saintess of Hua Rong Sect is not here with good intentions! If she succeeds, not only the Evergreen Convention, but even the foundation of our Immortal Alliance will be shaken.’
Elder Ma reminded him carefully.
‘Yes, the reason we cultivators have such high status is because of the cultivation talent brought by our bloodline, especially the immortal descendants. If she wins, the bloodline theory will definitely be questioned, and consequently, our status will be shaken.’
Another elder also showed panic. After all, those who could reach the Shentong Realm and above carried a trace of immortal bloodline to some extent.
‘Why the panic? Haven’t you even started fighting yet? Don’t cry after the results are out!’
Cao Hong reprimanded impatiently, scaring the elders into silence.
‘Where did this peerless monster come from! I have never heard of a freak in the past who needed all seven immortals descendants of the same generation combined to deal with!’
Cao Hong muttered to himself, his expression also turning grim.
‘Hmph, you do have a big mouth, but if this is all you’ve got, then it’s time to end this farce! There haven’t been freaks in the past that required seven immortal descendants combined to be taken down, and there won’t be today!’
Tang Long declared in a booming voice, but his spiritual sense didn’t stop, sending dense runes towards Ning Wuxia, intending to equip this last arriving teammate with a Stone Armor.
‘I don’t need it!’
Ning Wuxia politely refused, gently swatting away the runes with her jade hand.
‘You should be proud to be able to make the seven of us join forces against you!’
Yang Jin’er’s body erupted with wood true qi, turning a dark green and exuding a strange aura. Compared to her previous mischievous appearance, she was like a different person.
‘Junior Sister Jiang, don’t worry, even if you lose today, you will still be the tenth greatest little monster in the Cultivation World. At least, I acknowledge that.’
Ning Wuxia’s voice also came from the armor.
‘Did you ask us?’
Hua Yu asked with a knitted brow.
‘Fairy Ning, I appreciate your good intentions, but unfortunately, I have always disliked being ranked alongside others. I only like to be supreme alone. So, I reiterate, after today, there will only be one little monster in the Cultivation World, and that is me, the new Saintess of Hua Rong Sect.’
Qi Huang’s eyes curved into two gentle crescent moons, but her tone was as aggressive as a sharp blade.
‘Since that’s the case, then I will offend you.’
Ning Wuxia chose courtesy before force. She didn’t want to waste any more words. She murmured, ‘Although the five elements are in conflict, water is always the origin of all things, and the source of all things. It can nourish everything, and naturally, it can also destroy everything.’
After saying this, Ning Wuxia’s jade hands flipped rapidly in front of her, forming intricate hand seals. At the same time, the water true qi in her body began to surge out, forming a rapidly spinning vortex between her hands.
Qi Huang felt a strange force pulling her towards Ning Wuxia. As it wasn’t too strong, she managed to stop her body, but strangely, a piercing pain spread all over her body, as if needles were pricking every inch of her flesh and blood.
Qi Huang looked down in surprise and saw that the skin on her hands began to crack, forming cracks as fine as threads. Blood essence, mixed with true qi, was being pulled out by a strange force, flying towards Ning Wuxia like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea. Her already pitiful cultivation began to rapidly decline.
‘What secret technique is this?’
Qi Huang was shocked and wanted to resist, but because of the excruciating pain, she couldn’t use her spiritual sense at all.
‘Look quickly, that’s Ning Wuxia’s ultimate skill, ‘Water Separation Art’! She actually used it without reservation as soon as she arrived!’
‘Nonsense, the Saintess of Hua Rong Sect has already defeated four little monsters, how dare she hold back?’
‘Now it seems that the Saintess of Hua Rong Sect has been hit. The situation is not good!’
‘That’s right, this Water Separation Art mainly focuses on sudden attacks. Once hit, the opponent’s true qi and whole body blood essence will be stripped away. That kind of heart-piercing pain makes it impossible to concentrate and use spiritual sense, so they can only endure the pain and fight with their physical bodies.’
‘You’re talking about that man with extreme endurance. This clone of Jiang Ling is just a delicate little girl. It’s a wonder if she can bear it.’
The surrounding cultivators all showed a look of compassion on their faces.
‘It’s a pity, although I am indeed delicate, I am not psychologically an 18-year-old girl!’
Qi Huang gritted her teeth and retorted, desperately trying to concentrate her spiritual sense.
‘This is bad. This Water Separation Art is the Ning family’s ancestral secret technique. Only descendants with extremely high talent and very strong immortal bloodline can learn it. Its main purpose is to strip away all vitality. Anything containing water will be sucked dry into a mummy. How could I forget to remind the Saintess?’
Yuan Protector suddenly slapped his thigh.
‘Then how can this Water Separation Art be resisted?’
Cheng Hong Ling quickly asked. She was already restless from the pain just through telepathic communication, let alone Qi Huang who was the one experiencing it.
‘She is in excruciating pain right now and definitely cannot use her spiritual sense. She can only rely on her cultivation to stop Ning Wuxia from performing the Water Separation Art!’
Yuan Protector offered advice.
Cheng Hong Ling’s expression changed dramatically. She knew herclone’s situation very well. Her real cultivation was only at the Juling Realm. How could she possibly defeat Ning Wuxia, who was at the mid-stage Shentong Realm? And she herself wasn’t much better. Although her cultivation at the sixth level of Huashen Realm was indeed higher than most cultivators, it was still far from those six little monsters…
‘It has to be Senior Sister Ning. Your Water Separation Art is indeed profound. She fell into the trap without realizing it.’
Hua Yu flattered her.
Ning Wuxia’s expression was not good. Although she attacked openly, for someone who didn’t understand the Water Separation Art, it was equivalent to a sneak attack.
‘Now her spiritual sense is definitely unusable. We won’t be restricted in speed, so whatever trump cards you have, use them.’
Tang Long stretched his limbs and said.
‘Are there any other methods?’
Cheng Hong Ling on the side continued to ask.
‘No.’
Yuan Protector shook his head helplessly, his face full of regret, and muttered, ‘It is my failure to fulfill my responsibility. I have failed you!’
‘Disciple, if it’s really impossible, just recall her. Your clone’s performance is already good enough.’
Shi Yuqi suggested from the side.
Cheng Hong Ling didn’t speak. She knew her clone’s temperament and that she wouldn’t give up so easily, otherwise, the transaction with Hua Rong Sect would have much less certainty.
‘Wait, this Water Separation Art strips blood essence and focuses on extinguishing vitality, while the Shui Linglong I cultivated can nourish all things. Theoretically, isn’t it the perfect counter?’
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Cheng Hong Ling. Then, she telepathically transmitted to Qi Huang: ‘Quickly circulate the Shui Linglong cultivation method and try it.’
