  Ning Cheng understood this Xun Shun’s idea, after Xun Shun saw that he could not take the force of his Axe Fist, he immediately retreated, while simultaneously Ning Cheng also sent out a kick towards him.

  This foot solidly connected with his chest, but Xun Shun used the backlash from this kick to once again retreat.

  Looking at this, it would seem that Xun Shun was kicked by Ning Cheng with his foot, but the fact was Xun Shu was actually not injured at all, as he just utilized that opportunity to retreat. Before he had wanted to teach Ning Cheng a lesson, but instead he was taught a lesson by Ning Cheng, and was even kicked away by him.

  After losing such a huge amount of face, Xun Shun’s face immediately turned red, and even held a bit of fear towards Ning Cheng, although he and Ning Cheng had barely exchanged a few moves, but just from that exchange he knew that Ning Cheng was definitely not an ordinary Qi Gathering Cultivator.

  “Swish” a red Flying Sword appeared in the hands of Xun Shun, as the Killing Intent emanating from his body suddenly surged, it seemed that he really wanted to go against Ning Cheng once more.

  This was something that Jue Jiao could not tolerate and finally said, “If you two guests want to fight, then please leave the auction immediately, you can go outside and fight. This is the auction house of the Yi Shui Courtyard, if everyone was like you two, then my Yi Shui Courtyard would not exist today as it is.”

  These words spoken by her were both a persuasion and a threat, but the complexion of Xun Shun immediately turned green, finally looking at Ning Cheng he coldly snorted and said, “Good, good, let me see today how would you be able to leave Xi Jia City.”

  Ning Cheng just patted down his slightly wrinkled clothes and replied in an indifferent voice, “That should be my, your father’s, sentence, you fart of a person.”

  He and Xun Shu had barely exchanged 2 moves, so he knew that although he looked powerful, but his cultivation level was not even up to par to that of Xiong Qi Hua.

  Ning Cheng also was able to guess that Xun Shun had someone behind him, and he believed that because of this person, he would definitely not be able to do anything to Xun Shun inside the city regarding this matter, but once he came outside the Xi Jia City then he knew that Xun Shun would definitely will try to stop him. As long as he was able to lure Xun Shun out of the Xi Jia City, he would definitely be able to kill Xun Shu, and moreover be able to walk away. Even if this incident came to light later, he would have already left the Xi Jia City.

  Seeing Ning Cheng teach such a lesson to that arrogant black clothed man called Xun Shun, there was nobody in the room who dared to continue increase the price.

  Ning Cheng finally was able to use the 4,000 Spirit Stones to buy Lian’e back.

  Tai Shu Shi even forgot that Lian’e had already come over, and was still excited and said, “Big brother, you really have such a good skill, well done.”

  “Stone….” only when Lian’e called out in a trembling voice, did Tai Shu Shi woke up, he immediately stood up, and grabbed Lian’e’s hands and said, “Lian’e, you can stop worrying, I had already promised you that I would definitely come here to save you.”

  Lian’e had stayed for many years in this place called Yi Shui Courtyard, so she was able to easily understand the expressions on Tai Shu Shi’s face, moreover she also came to know from the words of Tai Shu Shi on how to address Ning Cheng, she immediately bowed to Ning Cheng and said, “Thank you Big Brother to help Stone to save this Lian’e.”

  Ta Shu Shi’s mood was extremely relaxed and immediately said, “Let’s go, it time for us to go out.”

  At this point Jue Jiao once again cried out sweetly from the stage, “Congratulations to Lian’e to be returned to her beloved person, it is the happiest thing for my Yi Shui Courtyard. The next one to come out, is actually the youngest girl from the Yi Shui Courtyard to be put on auction, she is just 18 years of age and is called Liu Han Yu. To get a better understanding of Han Yu, although she is extremely tender and pleasant looking, and even has a three-line Spiritual Root, but the main attracting point is that she even has a primary Spiritual Root.”

  “If not for the continued patronage of our guests here at my Yi Shui Courtyard’s unveiling, we really would not have brought out such an excellent looking girl called Han Yu. The starting price for Han Yu is 2,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones….”

  Just as Jue Jiao finished speaking, the red curtain behind her once again rolled up, and revealed a woman with short hair. This woman was exactly as Jue Jiao said, tender and pleasant, even her eyes were very alluring, but her face was extremely calm.

  It really was Liu Han Yu, Ning Cheng darkly sighed in his heart, he did not know when Liu Han Yu had cut her hair, but her eyes showed that she had already resigned herself to die. However, it could also be seen that she also despised those persons who purchased women for their cultivation, once they were purchased by such people, even if they wanted to die they would have to ask for permission from their masters.

  “I bid 2,100 Spirit Stones.” Someone immediately bid.

  “I put up 2,200 Spirit Stones.”

  “2,300 Spirit Stones.”

  ……

  The price quickly rose to 2,500 Spirit Stones, when Xun Shun coldly glanced at Ning Cheng and suddenly said out loud, “3,000 Spirit Stones.”

  Just as Xun Shun said his price out loud, the surrounding people who wanted to bid immediately stopped themselves.

  “3,100 Spirit Stones.” Ning Cheng bid, immediately every person in the room held their breaths.

  This young man who was carrying a Spear on his back, it seems that he really was not afraid of Xun Shun, he not only not feared him, but was even set on going against him.

  Xun Shun’s face sank, as he suddenly stood up, “Boy, just who exactly are you, to even dare to go against this Xun Shun?”

  “Do I really have to fight against you? Idiot, just who do you think you are? To look down on everyone.” Ning Cheng casually said. He already knew that this Xun Shun would not let him off and would always get in his way, so he might as well thoroughly enrage this fellow.

  “Very good.” said Xun Shun after he heard Ning Cheng’s words, he then actually no longer continued to bid, and sat back down.

  The inside of the room was completely silent, many of the people were very clear, it was not that Xun Shun was afraid of Ning Cheng, but because he wanted Ning Cheng dead. He will not haggle with a dead man, even if a dead man obtained many things, he would not be able to carry them off.

  Xun Shun did not increase the price, plus even the other people did not come forward to snatch Liu Han Yu from Ning Cheng.

  It was then that Liu Han Yu understood that it was Ning Cheng who bought her, and walked towards him, at this moment she was using her hand to cover her mouth, she could not believe that she would be able to see this person again, moreover even use more than 3,000 Spirit Stones to buy her. At this moment, the dead feeling in her eyes completely disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a pleasant and overwhelming surprise.

  In other people’s eyes, it seemed that Ning Cheng certainly fancied her, and must have bought her to serve him. But for Liu Han Yu it was very clear, Ning Cheng definitely did not fancy her, but rather really only wanted to save her. Although she could not find the reason, as it was only a hunch of hers.

  “Elder Brother Ning, I, I never thought that you would come to save me.” When she was delivered to the side of Ning Chang and Tai Shu Shi, Liu Han Yu still could not believe that this was true.

  “It seems that our meeting was pre-destined.” Ning Cheng signalled that Liu Han Yu need not put this affair in her heart. Then he took out the Spirit Stones and finally walked towards the Yi Shui Courtyard’s auction stage.

  After Ning Cheng delivered the Spirit Stones, he immediately turned to the trio Tai Shu Shi, Lian’e and Liu Han Yu and said, “We are going.”

  Tai Shu Shi understood the meaning of Ning Cheng and immediately casted a meaningful glance at Lian’e. />
  Lian’e and Liu Han Yu had not been in this place for just a few days, so there was no need for any hints for them, they already understood the situation completely. Without saying a word, both of them followed Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi out of the room.

  Xun Shun looked at the four departing figures with a sneer on his face, and also stood up, taking the few women that he had bought, he also quickly followed them out.

  ……

  The four of them ran out of the Xi Jia City, at their top speed that they could muster. But since Liu Han Yu and Lian’e’s cultivation level was not as good as them, so they could not unleash their full speed.

  After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng stopped. He knew that if Xun Shun wanted to catch up to them, then he estimated that it would be somewhere around here. If it was only the two of them, then they could easily get way, but since Lian’e and Liu Han Yu were also with them, they would absolutely not be able to walk away from this place unscathed.

  The remaining three seeing that Ning Cheng had stopped running also stopped. Tai Shu Shi knew that Xun Shun was a cultivator of the True Condensation Realm, and asked in a somewhat worried manner, “Big brother, did that guy already caught up to us, what do we do?”

  Ning Cheng handed Tai Shu Shi a bag and said, “Stone, this bag contains the map that would lead you to the Hua Continent plus some Spirit Stones. You take Lian’e and Liu Han Yu and go ahead first, I will come follow later. If within three days, we do not meet, then we would definitely meet each other again in the Hua Continent.”

  When Tai Shu Shi heard the words of Ning Cheng, he immediately knew what Ning Cheng wanted to do, he wanted the three of them to first go ahead, and he would block Xun Shun alone, to let the three of them escape first.

  “How would that be good? If you are going to fight, then let us fight together, whatever may be the outcome, plus I am also at Qi Gathering 9th Level.” Tai Shu Shi refused without any hesitation.

  Ning Cheng showed a faint smile and said, “I have already killed cultivators of the True Condensation 5th Level, the true cultivation level of this Xun Shun is just a trivial True Condensation 2nd Level, it not that I do not have eyes. You staying here will only delay it a bit longer, you already know why I am doing this, it is to let you escape first, once you guys are able to escape I will follow you back with my fastest speed.”

  When Ning Cheng said that he had already killed a cultivator in the True Condensation 5th Level, it did not make Tai Shu Shi feel surprised. In this Ping and Yuan Continents, True Condensation Cultivators only cultivated incomplete Cultivation Methods and moreover they also did not pay any attention to cultivating one’s Spiritual Sense, since Ning Cheng cultivated a complete Cultivation Method, so it was quite possible for him to achieve this.

  “Hurry up, I am just a minor figure, you do not need to be worried about me.” Ning Cheng said as he patted Tai Shu Shi’s shoulders.

  Tai Shu Shi’s thoughts were very simple, seeing Ning Cheng so confident about himself, he also nodded towards Ning Cheng and handed him something and said, “Good, then we’ll go first.”

  Liu Han Yu walked towards Ning Cheng, and had not even begun to speak when she saw the sunlight like smile on Ning Cheng’s face and heard, “Congratulations to Liu Han Yu on leaving Yi Shui Courtyard, and thank you for giving me Spiritual Grass Tea, perhaps I may get another chance to drink such an exquisite tea once again.”

  Liu Han Yu answered, “I understand, take care of yourself.”

  With that, she gave a deep bow to Ning Cheng.

  She certainly understood, Ning Cheng had saved her truly because she had served him the Spiritual Grass Tea, not because he took a fancy towards her. But that Spiritual Grass Tea, really ended becoming the most precious thing for her. No one knew this, but that cup of Spiritual Grass Tea that she had given to Ning Cheng, was many more times valuable to her than anything else, perhaps even more than her own life. For her, the most precious thing was actually not the cup of that Spiritual Grass Tea but the memories that it had given her.

  After Tai Shu Shi and the others went away, Ning Cheng quickly arranged a Killing Array Formation of his own creation with his fastest speed.

  He had just finished arranging the formation, when “Shua” a blue coloured airship Type Artefact landed at a place not far from Ning Cheng, Xun Shun glanced in the direction that Tai Shu Shi and the others had already disappeared, as he calmly got down from that airship Artefact, it was obvious that he was not in a hurry and had full confidence in himself.

  There were also four women in the airship, these were the four women that Xun Shun had purchased previously from Yi Shui Courtyard.

  As Ning Cheng stared at Xun Shun who was descending from the blue airship, he let out a dark sigh thinking that this guy really was filthy rich, he even owned an airship type Flying Type Artefact.

  “Idiot, but it really is a good idea, for you to try to stop me for a moment, and let the other three go first, ha, ha, ha…….” Xun Shun looked at Ning Cheng and laughed, but his eyes did not even have a half a hint of a smile in them.

  “In this Xi Jia City, if I, Xun Shun, want to kill somebody, then there has never been an exception….” while speaking, a red glow appeared in his hands as he gripped the red handle of a Flying Sword that he had previously took out in the Yi Shui Courtyard to try and kill him.

  Ning Cheng just gently shook his body, and the broken Spear fell into his hands. He did not wait for Xun Shun to finish his speech, and said to the four women who were still on the airship, “You all have the chance right now, once me and this guy start fighting, I’m sure this guy would not have the time to look for you. If you do not want to become a useless cultivation furnace, then walk your own path.”

  When Xun Shun heard this, he was immediately stunned, he did not think that Ning Cheng would not only try to stall him for a moment to let Liu Han Yu and Lian’e escape, but would also dare to encourage the women he had just bought to try and escape.

  He looked back at the four women as if he was really interested to see what they would do, and suddenly turned towards Ning Cheng and roared with laughter, “This father who even let that Tai Shu Shi escape is certain that he would be able to capture him, so why would I even be afraid of you people escaping from my airship? You can first think of how do you want to die, because after this you won’t get another chance to pick how you want to die……”

  Just as Xun Shun finished speaking, he immediately brought up the red Flying Sword in his hands, pointing it towards Ning Cheng, at this point he finally revealed his true cultivation level of True Condensation 2nd Level.

  Ning Cheng knew that this Xun Shun cannot be compared to the ordinary True Condensation 2nd Level cultivators, it was because that he could sense that this guy also cultivated a nearly complete Cultivation Method, and seeing the way he was controlling the Flying Swords, he knew that his Spiritual Sense was also not weak. Otherwise he would not be able to control the airship Artefact and pursue him till this point, moreover he was confident that he would be able to catch Tai Shu Shi and that others.

  Ning Cheng just flicked his hands, and the Spear that was wrapped in the blue cloth was immediately revealed, it was clear that the Artefact in his hands was a broken Spear. But once the Spear was grasped by his hands, it at once brought out a majestic Spear Light.

  In the midst of the Spear Light and the red Sword Light that had not yet clashed together, Ning Cheng once again said, “You all can only live if you properly take this opportunity, now that I have given you the opportunity to you all to live again, if you not take this chance, then you fully deserve what happens to you all in your future life.”

  After listening to the words of Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng and Xun Shun saw it themselves, the four women in the airship who were
hesitating till now no longer hesitated, they immediately jumped out from the airship, and did not even have enough time to even give out a thanks, when they scattered in all directions, and disappeared from their view in just a short while.

  When Xun Shun saw that Ning Cheng really was successful in encouraging the women to escape, he immediately became angry to the point of almost vomiting blood. He was actually not worried that these women would be able to escape from him, but was angry because they were persuaded by a cultivator of the Qi Gathering 9th Level to escape, these idiots actually believed that he would be able to take care of Xun Shun by himself. Since they were bought by Xun Shun, how could they even think of walking away?

  As his anger surged, the murderous intent in the red Flying Sword immediately became even more sharp as it moved towards Ning Cheng. He wanted to first kill Ning Cheng, and then catch those bitches one by one and let them know what happens to the people who betray Xun Shun.

  Xun Shun quickly snapped back to reality as he found that his red Sword Light unexpectedly did not break Ning Cheng’s Spear Light, but rather was stopped short in front of Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng had brought out a total of 12 Spear Lights, when these Spear Lights were brought out, they were arranged neatly in front of him from west to east. However, these 12 Spear Lights quickly formed an ice line, which was invisible to the naked eye, once these icy lines connected with each other they immediately formed a Spear Formation. Finally, when all the 12 Spear Lights were linked together, it turned into an extremely cold Ice Spear Net.

  “Ka Ka Ka Ka ……” After a dense snapping sound that was resounding throughout the area, the red Sword Light curtain was completely obliterated and could not be seen, only the handle of the Flying Sword was exposed under the ice sheet of the Ice Spear Net, but as for the Ice Spear Net, it was still holding strong. If one had to say why was the sword handle still sticking out, it was because the chill in the centre of the Spear Net was a bit stronger than the other outer areas, and as such could not continue to form the Ice Spear Net outside its range.
