This was Ning Cheng’s Angry Axe’s Third Form, the [Axe Line]
Ning Cheng’s original plan was to kill that Elder Brother Rong and the other Profound Core 5th Level cultivator first with Axe Line. But after he stimulated his True Devil Axe, a kind of frenzied bloodthirsty aura started to seep into and fill up his consciousness. At this moment he only wanted to completely massacre the people surrounding him, without leaving even a single person alive.
“His Devilish Nature is too great for him to handle. Since he brought out his magical weapon, we have to kill him.” A Profound Core 5th Level cultivator called out a sentence, while he simultaneously brought out a drum shaped magical weapon in his hand.
In almost an instant, countless lights from 20 magical weapons filled with True Essence surged towards Ning Cheng. But at the moment Ning Cheng’s True Cosmic Devil Axe had not gone completely out of control, moreover Ning Cheng also did not completely lose control of himself or his rationality. The endless and seemingly inexhaustible True Essence in his Core Lake flowed out without reserve, as he stirred up his True Devil Axe. Chopping out with a single [Axe Line] formed from killing intent, giving rise to another whirlpool of Axe Lines.
This whirlpool formed from innumerable tiny Axe Lines induced from the Axe Line formed from the killing intent using the True Devil Axe, immediately clashed with the lights from the 20 magical weapon and exploded with such an intensity that it completely ruptured through the True Essence contained within them.
All the magical weapons continuously flew away one after the other because of the explosion, as blood unceasingly poured out scattering in the air. Once this scattered blood was sensed by the True Cosmic Devil Axe, it immediately became even more crazy. Ning Cheng also completely lost his cool. As his True Essence crazily surged out without his control, pouring unceasingly into his True Cosmic Devil Axe, as he continuously shot out all three forms of his Angry Axe.
“Boom Boom Boom Boom……”
Explosions of surging True Essences could be heard everywhere in the place as Ning Cheng’s True Cosmic Devil Axe’s Axe Light formed from his Killing Intent making it seem to have transformed into genuine mass slaughtering moves, as cultivators constantly were being cut down by these killing lines. This field of battle, in just a short moment turned into a scene that could only be described as a picture from hell.
However, in this place there really were many Profound Core Cultivators, as such although Ning Cheng was fierce, he was just a single person, moreover he only had the cultivation of a ‘mere’ Profound Congealing 4th Level.
Even though his mouth was stained with blood, Ning Cheng’s face was utterly savage to the extreme, even when there was a sword that had directly penetrated through Ning Cheng’s chest. But then at this moment there was surge of pain in his head, and his body suddenly burst out in cold sweat. He had almost turned into a Devil. This True Cosmic Devil Axe was indeed strange, but his cultivation was still too low to be able to completely control it. But even though he was only at Profound Congealing 4th Level, he was still able to display the crazy power of the True Cosmic Devil Axe.
But what he had experienced had also immensely scared him, if not for the Mysterious Yellow Origin, then perhaps he might have even ended up dead. Ning Cheng immediately became furious in his heart, his True Cosmic Devil Axe wanted to again crazily sweep him up. But at this time, his mind was much clearer, at least he was not giving off the kind of crazy slaughtering aura from a moment ago
Sending out numerous golden Axe Line whirlpools, he immediately blocked the numerous attacks from the magical weapon one after another. But the biggest whirlpool formed from the Axe Line, which was actually being controlled by Ning Cheng, bombed towards that Elder Brother Rong. Since he cannot indiscriminately beat them in one go, then he had to take the option of defeating them one by one.
Just a moment ago he had almost descended to become a Devil, although he managed to kill several Profound Core Cultivators, but if he continued on like this then he would have soon ended up dead.
Clearly feeling that the whirlpool formed by the Axe Line was becoming even more powerful as it sucked in the surrounding killing intent and was directly heading towards himself, that Elder Brother Rong was immediately startled in his heart. He quickly realized that Ning Cheng wanted to kill them one by one, quickly calling out loudly, “All the people guarding the doors immediately come together, this person can’t hold out much longer……”
Hearing the loud cry of that Elder Brother Rong, all the cultivators guarding the blue stone doors immediately rushed out to encircle them completely, even many of the Profound Congealing Cultivators also rushed up.
All the people immediately brought out their magical weapons as the attacked Ning Cheng.
“Boom……” Just at the same time, he used his True Cosmic Devil Axe to bring out his [Tornado] as it exploded on top of Elder Brother Rong’s
Scorpion King Shears
, the Scorpion King Shears was immediately sent flying by the exceedingly powerful Axe Intent sent out from the True Devil Axe, but the killing force behind it once again gathered together into a single point without even a single moment’s delay as it rumbled towards Elder Brother Rong’s chest.
“Peng……” That Elder Brother Rong immediately exploded in a haze of blood and gore, as he was directly killed off by Ning Cheng’s [Tornado] that had condensed to a point.
“Ka Ka Ka Ka……” it was followed by innumerable ‘Ka Ka’ sounds as myriads of explosions sounded out, as dozens of magical weapons exploded to dust by the dense and countless Axe Lines from the whirlpools brought out by Ning Cheng, while simultaneously the whirlpools formed by the [Axe Line] also collapsed. Ning Cheng was also sent flying out tumbling because of the tremendous force from the explosions, only stopping as his back smashed into a giant rock nearby. However, he once again managed to bring out another whirlpool formed from the [Axe Line] from his True Cosmic Devil Axe, which allowed him to preserve his small life.
“You have to hurry up and help him aaah, why is he the only one fighting….” That girl Sha Sha had already changed into the clothes given to her, at this moment she had completely forgotten that just a few moments ago she was going to be humiliated by Lu Ming in front of everyone. Tears welled up in her eyes as she cried out to the people observing for help.
These cultivators were originally still frightened and were feeling immense fear as they saw Ning Cheng fight these many Profound Core Cultivators in such a bloody scene, now that they were reminded by Sha Sha, they immediately awakened. Seeing that there was nobody standing guard at the entrance to the valley, almost all the people rushed towards the mouth of the valley, but none of them rushed towards Ning Cheng to help him.

Cheng Yixiao also seemed to have awoken from the shock that Ning Cheng was a Devil Cultivator. With Sha Sha shouting out in a heart wrenching voice, it made him realize that all of what was happening in front of him was in fact real and not a hallucination. Looking at these cultivators struggling and fighting over to get into the Second Segment of the Law’s Way, it immediately made Cheng Yixiao frown. It was not that he did not understand the viewpoint of these people, that Cheng Xiaoning obviously was not going to hold on for much longer, once those people finally ended up killing Cheng Xiaoning, then for them to want to pass through this place would simply end up being a dream.
Cheng Yixiao did not follow behind the people as they rushed towards the entrance to the valley. Even though his injuries had not recovered, he must give a hand to help out Ning Cheng.
Once Nalan Ruxue saw the actions of Cheng Yixiao, she immediately knew what Cheng Yixiao wanted to do. She gave out a sad sigh as she sent a sound transmission to h
im, “Senior Apprentice Brother Cheng, that person is a Devil Cultivator, regardless of the time frame in which we meet him, he would try to kill you too. If you interfere here and help in the matter regarding a Devil Cultivator, once this news spreads outside, then our Wu Nian Academy’s reputation would also be completely ruined and corrupted to the extreme. You also know that our Academy Head is incapable of leaving his location. Moreover, you also know about the matters that transpired a few hundreds of years ago, whether that matter be re-enacted once again or not, who can dare to affirm it.”
Hearing Nalan Ruxue’s words, Cheng Yixiao’s footsteps also halted, before he finally subconsciously stopped himself from moving forward. It didn’t matter if he was going to help or not, even if in the end he was killed by these cultivators, it did not matter much to him. However, if he really helped in the matters relating to a Devil Cultivator, and once the news of this matter spread out, then the Wu Nian Academy’s image would be thoroughly tarnished without any hope of recovery. Only if he completely killed off all the people here, without even leaving a single one alive, only then could he prevent this matter from leaking out, otherwise this matter would definitely spread out like wildfire.
Several hundred years ago, in the Le Continent, there was an Academy that dominated over the current three greatest Academies, it was the Kun Yun Academy. But because that Academy’s genius disciple, Jing Haoyao protected a female Devil Cultivator, who had chased down and killed several of her fellow women of her own Academy like a crazed devil. The result of this incident led to the Kun Yun Academy to be besieged by dozens of large Academies, and using it as excuse, completely eradicated it. Moreover, of all those besieging the Academy, their Wu Nian Academy was the one that had arranged the entire line up.
The Wu Nian Academy was one of the current three largest Academies on the Le Continent, once news got out that he had helped the Devil Cultivator. Some of the people with ulterior motives would then even go to the extent to exaggerating the rumour that he had helped the Devil Cultivator kill off the rest of the cultivators. In such a situation, even if he had 10,000 mouths, he would not be able to clear all the misunderstandings that would arise. It was especially true because of his special identity.
Cheng Yixiao looked at the disciples from his own Academy who were running away in a hurry, and gave out a painful sigh, he could not blame these people for running away. Since he was able to think of this, then the others would obviously also be able to think of this.
The few Profound Congealing Cultivators from the Wu Nian Academy in his team were aware of Cheng Yixiao’s personality, they all knew that he hated the wicked as if they were his own personal enemies and would always come forward to defend against any and all injustices in a just and righteous manner. Seeing Cheng Yixiao hesitating at present as to come to a decision on whether to act or not, the few of them immediately came forward and tightly grabbed onto Cheng Yixiao, they could not dare to even let Cheng Yixiao take a single step forward. They even forcibly pulled him along with them as they crashed through the now completely open the blue stone doors and quickly vanished from the scene without even a single trace.
“Elder Sister Lingwei, I do not feel good in my heart……” After Zhangsun Yan came out and had already travelled quite a distance, she suddenly could not remain silent in keeping her feelings suppressed in her heart, and finally spoke up.
Jia Lingwei also gave out a slow grieving sigh as she spoke, “I know that Yan Yan, but even if we wanted to help him, we would not be able to. On the contrary, we would only be dragging him down. We are not the only two people who are unhappy about it, there are still a few other people who are also unhappy, but we simply have no choice but to walk away from there.”
Although Zhangsun Yan could not connect to the words spoken by Jai Lingwei, she still was able to understand the underlying meaning of her Elder Sister Lingwei’s words. Even if they wanted to stay there, they would be unable to help them. Once the others escaped from there, and only they stayed back, then word would definitely spread out that they were there to help the Devil Cultivator. Moreover, not only the two of them would be implicated in this mess, but it would even implicate the Academies behind them. It was a responsibility that they could not afford to accept, even if they wanted to.
As Sha Sha saw the scene of people escaping away instead of helping even after she called out for help in a heart wrenching manner, she turned somewhat sluggish, before she suddenly came to a realisation. At the beginning when she was being humiliated by that person, didn’t a single person from among them stepped up to help her out? Not to mention that the entrance of the valley was now wide open. As such all the people can also leave from this place.
“I’m going to kill you, you beastly bastards……” After Sha Sha sobered up, she immediately rushed forward as she brought out her long sword. But at the time she was rushing out, she saw a black light shooting towards Ning Cheng who was seemingly unaware of it, she did not even give any consideration to the power behind that black light as she immediately rushed towards it in order to block it.
“Peng……” With her cultivation at only Profound Congealing 4th Level, even if it was only a single beam of black light, she could not block it. This single beam of black light immediately exploded onto the pit of her stomach, immediately sending her flying away from the battlefield.
Although this was merely a small momentary respite, but it allowed Ning Cheng to gather up his sluggish spirit, but even so there wasn’t much time to check up on Sha Sha. Using the True Cosmic Devil Axe, he immediately brought out an almost inexhaustible quantity of twisting and distorting Axe Lines. These still distorting and twisting Axe Lines, one after another, quickly surrounded them with whirlpools formed out of killing intent.
Raging and extremely wild killing intent poured out, forming wave after wave of Killing Force, directly covering the entire area all around them.
“Boom Boom Boom Boom……”
The True Essence and the Killing Intent manifested with the help of the magical weapons immediately collided together, the True Essence that seemed to cover the entire sky was once again rent apart with explosion after explosion. Some of the poorer Profound Core Cultivators were directly killed off as the whirlpools condensed from the Axe Lines exploded on them. As for the Profound Congealing Cultivators, there was not even a single one left alive, each and every one was directly turned into a bloody mist by the distorting and twisting Axe Lines just as it touched them, right in front of everyone’s eyes.
Stimulating the True Essence in his Core Lake to attack continuously one after another, Ning Cheng finally felt a bout of weakness wash over him. After this wave of continuously being on the offensive, his waist was penetrated by two blade lengths, and a steady stream of blood was pouring out from the wounds.
In this place, adding up all the Profound Core Cultivators along with the Profound Congealing Cultivators, there were originally about a hundred people in total. But because of Ning Cheng’s violent and extremely wild attacks, he had directly dropped this number down to a single digit of 9 people.
But all these 9 people were Profound Core Cultivators, moreover not one of them was an Early Stage Profound Core Cultivator.
“He is at the brink of death; we have to kill this monster together….” A Profound Core Cultivator spoke up, while simultaneously making his move.
The rest of the people were also having similar thoughts, and were all rushing towards Ning Cheng, it was obvious that they were all viewing Ning Cheng as an already spent force.
Although Ning Cheng’s injuries were serious, however his mind was even more clear. He did not draw back, instead he actually went forward. He once again brought up the True Cosmic Devil Axe. But this time he used it differently from before, he used the True Cosmic Devil Axe to swipe its ‘blade edge’ sideways in an outwards swinging motion, bringing out a single Axe Trace.
Although it was a single Axe Trace, but it felt that it was more than capable to c
ut through anything that blocked its path, for it was the first form of Angry Axe, [The 1st Trace].
This Axe Trace brought along a strong gale as the Angry Axe Killing Intent condensed into a single extremely thin line, while at the same time the killing intent was completely locked down within it, as it cut through the air with just a slight ‘hum’ sound. The completely wild and berserk Killing Intent from before was now completely condensed into an extremely thin Axe Line, without even showing a hint of diffusing or even the tendency to spread out, this kind of thing was something that he had never ever done before or even thought of.
Even so, those 9 Profound Core Cultivators besieging Ning Cheng, being in the late stages, immediately realized that the power contained in this Axe Line vastly surpassed anything they had ever imagined, moreover the killing intent contained in it was extremely horrifyingly thick. They were sure that even if they went all out to defend against this, they would be fatally injured. But there seemed to be a flaw with this Axe Trace, that was that it did not lock onto the opponent.
“He is finally exhausted; this is his last shot. If we are able to survive this Axe Trace, then we can slaughter him however we like……”
Even without the words from that Profound Core Cultivator, the rest of them realized what was going on. Ning Cheng had used up all of his strength, although this Axe Trace was extremely horrifying, and did not even seem to have even a single trace of killing intent leaking out from it, but because it was unable to lock onto them, as such they would definitely be able to escape past it.
