He didn’t expect that Wang Wenzong would choose to retreat at the critical mont, without even really engaging in a single move.
Such mockery made the anger in his heart blaze fiercely.
But at the sa ti, deep down, he felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
With Wang Wenzong retreating, how could anyone present still oppose Ji Mingzhou?
Moreover, he understood that Wang Wenzong’s retreat was not intentional mockery, but because that simple clash made Wang Wenzong perceive certain threats.
A threat that made him retreat!
From this point, he also understood that Ji Mingzhou’s strength might be even greater than widely rumored.
Though not first-grade, in such an environnt, it might not be substantially different from first-grade.
"Zhuge Qingsong!" Ji Mingzhou no longer looked at Shen Wenyan, but fixed his gaze on Zhuge Qingsong: "Do you really want to be the sinner of the entire Zhuge family? Whether the entire Zhuge family lives or dies now depends on your decision! As for those seeds you exiled, after today, I will order their eradication!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qingsong’s face turned ashen, his teeth clenched tight, and his fingers gripped firmly.
He had not a single doubt about the truth in Ji Mingzhou’s words.
Because this person is the Sect Leader of the Cross Immortal Gate, the Alliance Hierarch of the Yingtian Alliance, and the figure who forced the Nine River Dragon, Wang Wenzong, to retreat with a single move.
It was then.
Jiang Ning sighed silently in his heart.
Originally, he thought that with Wang Wenzong’s prowess, there would be no need for him to act today.
But now he understood that it ultimately was up to him to break this deadlock.
Then, he took a step forward.
Sha sha—
His foot pressed on the snowy ground, crushing the snowflakes. The sound, though faint, suddenly drew Ji Mingzhou’s gaze.
Ji Mingzhou’s eyes then focused on him.
"Marquis Jiang, do you intend to make a move?" he said calmly.
"As the Zeshan State Patrol Envoy, I’m here to quell the chaos!" Jiang Ning said coolly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell into silence.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the straight, yet slightly thin figure, their expressions complex.
There was astonishnt, confusion, disdain...
At this mont, a light cough broke the silence.
Ji Mingzhou looked at Jiang Ning, his eyes shifting slightly.
"Dongling Marquis, your courage is admirable. Worthy of a Martial Champion, you exhibit a grandeur capable of swallowing rivers and mountains. But in your current state, how could you contend with ?"
It was then.
Li Sixiang suddenly stepped forward.
"Alliance Hierarch, the new talent is not worth your personal action."
Hearing this, Ji Mingzhou glanced at Jiang Ning, then at Li Sixiang.
He then nodded slightly.
"Very well!"
Receiving Ji Mingzhou’s nod, Li Sixiang said no more.
He moved suddenly.
Hong—
The wind and snow exploded.
Suddenly, the surroundings fell into darkness, as if heaven and earth returned to chaos.
He extended a single palm, and in his palm, it seed as though Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire were reenacting.
In an instant.
Jiang Ning felt as if the world around him was sealed.
Facing Li Sixiang’s strike, he had no escape, nowhere to hide.
Then.
He stood his ground, extended a single palm, choosing to et Li Sixiang directly.
Faced with this scene, Li Sixiang’s eyes narrowed slightly.
His expression showed no retreat or fear; instead, he surged with more montum, and his speed suddenly increased.
In his eyes, if Jiang Ning did not retreat, he had no reason to retreat either.
Rumble!!
A thunderous explosion erupted.
An invisible shockwave spread out.
The shockwave expanded in a circle, turning the snow into powder as it passed.
Yet at this mont, Jiang Ning remained unmoved, while Li Sixiang was blasted away as if struck hard.
His pupils protruded, as though shattering like ice crystals.
Seeing this, Ji Mingzhou’s expression changed, stepping out abruptly.
His figure flashed to appear behind the airborne Li Sixiang.
He then supported him with his right hand, his face changing once more.
He retreated several feet backward to mitigate the impact.
At this mont, he could already feel that both the sinews and bones within Li Sixiang were fractured, without a trace of integrity.
Simultaneously, two extre forces battled fiercely within Li Sixiang.
"Sect Leader, save ..." Li Sixiang mustered his strength to speak.
As he spoke, blood gushed from his mouth.
His open mouth showed no teeth remaining.
In the next mont.
Ji Mingzhou imdiately infused his True Yuan into Li Sixiang’s body, aiming to quell the clash of alien energies within him.
However, as his power entered, it seed to beco the trigger for the explosive outburst of the two alien energies.
In just a fleeting mont.
Li Sixiang’s body erupted like thunder striking fire.
Boom——
A thunderous sound exploded, and Li Sixiang’s entire form imdiately turned into a mist of blood, scattering across the sky.
"Still now, there are those who dare to underestimate !" Jiang Ning said blandly.
At this mont, Ji Mingzhou stared at the warmth in his hand, lost in thought.
He realized Li Sixiang might not be Jiang Ning’s match.
But he never imagined that before him, Li Sixiang would die by his own hand.
Ti seed to freeze at this instant.
The entire scene fell into dead silence.
Then, anger rose in Ji Mingzhou’s eyes, transforming into a blazing fire.
He suddenly looked at Jiang Ning, his tone icy and filled with killing intent.
"Originally, I only wanted to act against Zhuge Manor. But... you deserve to die!!"
With his voice falling.
The raging wind and snow beca even more violent.
The fierce wind swept up the snowstorm, as if the heavens themselves were angry.
Everyone instinctively squinted their eyes.
The piercing cold wind slashed across their faces, cut across their pupils.
Facing this scene.
Jiang Ning’s thoughts slightly swayed.
"Perfect ti to test the effect of Heart Tribulation Fire, using the Forbidden Technique for a desperate fight should suffice," the thought flashed by.
In his heart, there was no more hesitation.
Then, his mind touched his chest where the void was, the leaping flas.
Boom——
In an instant, he saw endless blood-red flas erupt from his heart.
In just a mont, it spread throughout his whole body, reaching every piece of flesh, every pore.
Inside his body, everywhere was filled with endless blood-red flas.
Where it reached, what it felt, was all like this.
Now, these flas filled his limbs and bones, organs.
Filled every corner, spread in every drop of blood, every strand of hair.
His entire body was ignited, releasing an unbelievable power.
Feeling the power’s strength, his lips couldn’t help but curl slightly.
This mysterious sensation, he hasn’t experienced in a long ti.
He sensed that, at this mont, no other state could compare.
His current state was unparalleled.
In just a mont, his entire body was surrounded by blood-red flas, even in his hanging strands of hair, flas were leaping.
His pupils at this mont transford into two fiery balls, blazing flas.
In his eye sockets, it seed flas were spurting out.
His entire body was ignited.
An imnsely strong aura burst out from his body.
That was an invisible oppression from the powerful.
The originally violent wind and snow turned gentle as it approached at this mont.
He knew, this strength ca from the Heart Tribulation Fire, from the combustion of his life.
This was a Forbidden Technique, costing life as the price.
Though he could still afford it, he didn’t want to waste ti here.
Because with each breath ti passed, it was burning his life.
At this mont.
Seeing Jiang Ning enveloped by red flas, Ji Mingzhou’s pupils shook.
"Forbidden Technique!!"
He spewed two words from his mouth.
The fury that rose in his heart at this mont was suppressed by a fearful emotion.
"He’s desperate now!!" Jing Wuming saw this scene, silently muttering to himself.
In his eyes at this mont, a trace of hesitation flashed.
Advance ans teaming up with Ji Mingzhou against Jiang Ning, thus fully repaying a debt he owed Ji Mingzhou.
Retreat ans montarily leaving this place of right and wrong, handing the place over to Jiang Ning and Ji Mingzhou, still owing Ji Mingzhou a favor.
While he was vacillating.
Ji Mingzhou moved.
In an instant, he vanished from everyone’s sight, disappearing amidst the snowstorm’s embrace.
When he reappeared.
He was already a yard away from Jiang Ning, his finger extended in the direction of Jiang Ning, replicating the move he used against Wang Wenzong earlier.
At this mont, his finger was like an ice sculpture, the wind and snow swirling around.
Everyone’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to his finger.
In front of his finger, Jiang Ning was bathed in crimson flas.
His hair leapt, the red flas also danced.
"Perfect timing!" Jiang Ning’s voice resonated.
Then, he boldly punched!
