  Once they were able to evade this Axe Trace, then Ning Cheng would only be able to stimulate what little was left of his True Essence through his axe. With his power completely exhausted, for him to be at the mercy of others to slaughter was something inevitable.

  Long story short. In just a twinkling of an eye, the nine Profound Core Cultivators retreated back at the same time. But even so Ning Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. He was already long since experienced with Killing Arrays, how could he not understand their tactics?

  If these nine people did not draw back, and all of them decided to face his [Angry Axe, the 1st Trace], then with his present condition, he could at most massacre only three of them, as for the other people, at most he would only be able to give them serious injuries, but even then it would be very difficult.

  Fortunately, these nine people retreated to the same spot at the same time. Because his opponent did not know that he was in possession of a Broken Core Pearl, as it was his trump card in situations like these.

  When these nine people retreated back to the same place, Ning Cheng threw out the Broken Core Pearl that he had already prepared. While he simultaneously activated his Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings.

  “Not good……” A Late Stage Profound Core Cultivator immediately felt the tyrannous aura of the Broken Core Pearl, and just called out two words before he hastily rushed forward to escape.

  But the already gathered Killing Force behind his 1st Trace, immediately cut him down like tofu, as his body split apart at his waist.

  “Boom Boom Boom……” wild explosions rang out, moreover judging from the wild and violent fluctuations, Ning Cheng could see that this was even more terrifying than all the scenes of his fights between him and the several Profound Core Cultivators, moreover it even several times much more powerful.

  Because of the constant explosions, shattered rocks and soil rose up in the air turning into fine dust, before shrouding the entire area in a sea of dusty fog. After a few breaths, the explosions subsided. As the dust and fog dispersed, a Profound Core 7th Level Cultivator stood up shaking, as he held a grey shield in his hands.

  Although the shield was a bit damaged, but it was actually not very big. It was clear that just now he had hidden himself behind this shield to escape with his life.

  He sluggishly looked all around him as he spoke in a murmur, “The only one remaining is me……”

  “You made a mistake, you cannot be the only one left……” Ning Cheng’s weak but calm voice slowly spread out, while at the same time an ugly looking axe entered his vision. In just a single moment, his huge head rolled off to one side.

  Ning Cheng swallowed several pills. Looking around, this place originally had more than a hundred people a few moments ago, but in just a few moments, the only one remaining was him alone. The Broken Core Pearl was simply too frightening, moreover its power was equivalent to an all-out strike from an Early Stage Soul Essence Cultivator, it obviously showed how powerful a Soul Essence Cultivator was.

  Ning Cheng looked at a female cultivator lying down on the ground at a distance. Looking at her, he felt a deep sadness well up in his heart. Even if being a Devil Cultivator was something terrible, he had still tried to help this person. But in actuality, other that this female cultivator that he rescued, there was not even a single person who came forward or even stood up to give him a hand.

  Unexpectedly, it was in these kinds of situations, that the fickleness of human friendships was exposed.

  Ning Cheng walked unsteadily to the front of this female cultivator, as he got down on one knee and gently helped the female cultivator up. He could feel that her injuries were extremely serious.

  But when Ning Cheng finally helped up this female cultivator, his heart immediately sank. This female cultivator’s Dantian and internal organs were completely destroyed, even her meridians were all torn up, it was clear that her life was soon going to come to an end.

  Ning Cheng hurriedly took out a healing pill and put it in this female cultivator’s mouth. But even so, he knew that even he, with his so called top tier medicines that he possessed, would not be able to save this female cultivator.

  But because of Ning Cheng’s pill, this female cultivator finally managed to open her eyes, and the first thing that she saw was Ning Cheng covered entirely in blood. The corners of her mouth twitched a few times, as blood poured out from it.

  “Thank you….” This female cultivator finally spoke out two characters with extreme difficulty.

  Ning Cheng knew that what she had said was what she had meant. He knew that this female cultivator had said ‘Thank you’ for not letting her continued to get humiliated in front of all those people.

  “I am sorry, in the end I could not help you out, rather it was you who had helped me out. If not for you who helped me in blocking that black light, I would not have been able to kill those beastly bastards. Moreover, there is also no means with me to help you out……” Ning Cheng spoke out in an ashamed manner. He deeply felt that he had really not helped this female cultivator at all, rather it was this female cultivator who had helped him out by saving his puny life.

  This female cultivator slightly shook her head and spoke in an extremely laborious voice, “I am called Zhuang Xiangsha, and am a person from the Zhuang Clan of the Le Continent……. If…. if you are able to get out of this place in the future, I want to ask you to bring me back to the Zhuang Clan in the Le Continent to Zhuang Wenhan……”

  “You can rest assured; this is something that I will definitely help you with.” Ning Cheng spoke in affirmation, deeply imprinting the vow in his heart.

  Hearing Ning Cheng’s affirmative answer, the corners of Zhuang Xiangsha revealed a warm and comforting smile, as she spoke again, “You are a Devil Cultivator, do not stick out your head……”

  Ning Cheng nodded his head vigorously, he knew what Zhuang Xiangsha meant, once the others thought that he was a Devil Cultivator, then he no longer could say anything. Once he got out from this place, he would become an existence that everyone would hunt to kill. Zhuang Xiangsha wanted him to change his appearance, even if he delivered Zhuang Xiangsha to the Zhuang Clan, he would have to do it in disguise.

  “Tell Tai Qi, that I was unworthy of him……” Zhuang Xiangsha could not finish those words, before she became incapable to press on. It was at this point that Xiangsha finally perished.

  Ning Cheng sighed, he intended to help Zhuang Xiangsha by crafting a magical artefact grade coffin. But now that Zhuang Xiangsha finally closed her eyes, the words she spoke a moment ago had now ended up becoming her dying will.

  Releasing Grey Toottoot from the Spirit Beast Bag, he spoke, “Hurry up and collect all the Storage Bags and Rings, I have other things to take care off.”

  Grey Toottoot on hearing that it had to collect the Storage Bags and Rings, did not need Ning Cheng to remind it for the second time, as it swiftly rushed out.

  After Ning Cheng swallowed several pills, he immediately began crafting a simple coffin with some of the materials that he already had. In addition to it, he also carved out a Preserving Array Formation on the coffin, and then finally laid down Zhuang Xiangsha’s body gently into it, before storing the coffin into his ring.

  By this point of time, Grey Toottoot had already collected a pile of Storage Rings and Storage Bags and came over. Ning Cheng received the Storage Rings, and also collected all the scattered magical weapons all around him. Then he went forward and pulled out his Profound Break Spear. This spear had turned one of the eight Blue Stone Doors at the mouth of the valley into dust.

  “Let’s go.” Picking up Grey Toottoot, Ning Cheng brought out his Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings, and quickly disappeared throu
gh the entrance of the valley.

  His injuries were quite heavy, as such he needed to find a place to recuperate. As for the cut apart corpses left behind by him, Ning Cheng did not have any intention to bury them.

  It was only until a day later that some people finally arrived here, but after those cultivators saw torn up corpses lying everywhere on the ground, they immediately panicked and increased their speed to the maximum as they quickly sped past through the valley entrance.

  ……

  In the temporary Immortal Cave that he had dug up, Ning Cheng really felt thankful towards Kong Pengpeng. Without Kong Pengpeng’s Broken Core Pearl, it would be absolutely impossible for him to leave that place with such ease. If not for that then even if he wanted escape from there, with the way those Profound Core Cultivators were blocking his path, even if he was able to kill a few of them, he would have eventually ended up dead.

  Moreover, he finally understood the purpose of Elder Sister Shu for insisting on him changing his appearance. At this time Ning Cheng was made deeply aware of it. At least at present, no one here knew that he was actually Ning Cheng. If they were to consider him to be a Devil Cultivator, then once they managed to get out, it would truly be very disadvantageous for him.

  Although he was severely wounded once again, but Ning Cheng was actually not depressed about it, at least this time he had raked in a considerable harvest. He had nearly 30 Storage Rings from the Profound Core Cultivators, as well as many dozens of Storage Rings and Storage Bags from the Profound Congealing Cultivators. Surely with the things inside he would be able to cultivate for some time.

  However, Ning Cheng did not proceed to examine the things that he obtained, he had to hurry up and heal all his injuries first. The type of killing form of the Angry Axe stimulated by the True Cosmic Devil Axe was truly astonishing. However, the backlash was also very strong. If he did not have the Mysterious Yellow Origin, Ning Cheng would never dare to continue using it. The bloodthirsty Devilish Nature of the True Cosmic Devil Axe was just too heavy. If it was used by an ordinary person, then it would steadily and quickly corrode them from the inside out, turning them completely into a Devil.

  A Devil Cultivator really had a very bad reputation, and it was not without a reason.

  Ning Cheng was very confident on his Mysterious Yellow Origin, he believed that his Mysterious Yellow Origin could completely suppress the True Cosmic Devil Axe’s Devilish Nature, and even completely refine the Devilish Nature and merge it into the Axe Type Killing Intent.

  Elder Sister Shu had said that this True Cosmic Devil Metal was not only a Devil Metal, but at the same time it was also comprised of True Cosmic Metal as one of its fundamental components. The True Cosmic Metal was a true noble metal. Refining it into a magical weapon would also bring out such a majestical strength.

  At this time although Ning Cheng had severe injuries, he had at least not damaged his foundation. As such under the influence of his pills, he was making a speedy recovery. In only a half a month’s time, Ning Cheng could actually feel that his injuries had healed up by 70-80 percent.

  At this time Ning Cheng finally was able to calm down and started to reorganise the spoils that he obtained. Out of the almost 100 Storage Rings that his obtained, he had made the harvest of about 5-6 million High Grade Spirit Stones. Although the Spiritual Grasses were only few, but there were plenty of Artefact Crafting Materials. Moreover, Ning Cheng also discovered that the majority of the Spirit Stones were in the rings from the Profound Core Cultivators, as for the things inside the rings of the Profound Congealing Cultivators, they were just a few.

  Ning Cheng guessed that those cultivators who were blocking the way should have entered the middle regions of the Law’s Way a long time ago, and had ended up using up their Spirit Stones. As for the Spirit Stones in the Storage Rings, they definitely were wrest away from the cultivators who had just entered the Law’s Way. Since those cultivators had just come in, then it was certain that they would not bring too many spiritual grasses with them.

  Still it was alright, since he had helped everyone by completely exterminating this band of rogues, so him keeping these Spirit Stones was in a way perfectly justified.

  After completing the reorganisation of the Spirit Stones and all the other materials, Ning Cheng then proceeded on to re-craft a jade coffin in order to repay the help Zhuang Xiangsha had provided. Previously when he had crafted the coffin, he had only used ordinary wood and had done so hastily under the condition of him being severely wounded. Not only the Array Formation that he placed on it was crude, but even the shape of the coffin was very crude and simple. Zhuang Xiangsha was the only person who had remained behind to help him, and had helped him out against that black light from that person, even if it only gave him a moment, but Ning Cheng felt that he at least had to craft a good jade coffin for her.

  If Zhuang Xiangsha was not a victim, then she would have also very likely to have walked away with the other cultivators, but Ning Cheng did not care about it.

  Such was the nature of humans.

  He also had frequently seen a few such news before, when one saw something bad happening that was not related to them, many of the people would simply choose to stand by and watch as onlookers, there would even be a few who would actively try to avoid such things once they saw such a scene.

  But nevertheless there would always be a few people with heroic spirit. They would always stand up to try and stop such misdeeds. These people were the ones that made people feel that there was still some warmth in this world and that morality and justice was still alive.

  For Zhuang Xiangsha to remain back, not only it was because he had saved her, but it was because she had wanted to help her benefactor from the bottom of her heart. Towards a person that was full of gratitude, Ning Cheng always respected them very much.

  ……

  After entering the Law’s Way’s Second Segment, all the cultivators finally understood how difficult it was in here. In this segment of the Law’s Way, there were monstrous beasts everywhere. Similarly, because the laws of the Heaven and Earth were more complete in this segment of the Law’s Ways, as a result the monstrous beasts in here were extremely powerful.

  Even for an Early Stage Profound Congealing 4th Level Cultivator, they may not necessarily be able to beat a Class 4 Intermediate Stage monstrous beast. Even if it was a Class 4 Early Stage monstrous beast, they may not be able to beat it. Moreover, this was only for monstrous beasts roaming on the ground, if they met even a single flight type monstrous beast, even if it was a Class 3 Late Stage monstrous beast, an Early Stage Profound Congealing Cultivator would not be able to even put a scratch on it.

  Besides these monstrous beasts, this segment of the Law’s Ways had all kinds of marshes, bogs and death traps, there were even a few regions containing spatial tears. Once one fell into it, they would directly turn to dust.

  If it was only these, then by being careful and cautious along the way, they would be able to pass through here, albeit it would take a little more time than usual. But the most important thing here was that the distribution of Spiritual Qi here was extremely uneven.

  Majority of the regions in here had extremely scarce Spiritual Qi, so much that it could even be said that those regions did not even contain any Spiritual QI. As for the regions with rich Spiritual Qi, they were all completely occupied by various monstrous beasts, or were dispersed in different extremely dangerous positions. If one did not have Spirit Stones, then wanting to cultivate in this kind of place, it would be extremely difficult.

  “No wonder those people wanted to block that place and loot the people, it should be because they had run out of Spirit Stones for their cultivation practice. Moreover, they also do not dare to enter the territories of the monstrous beasts here, as such they could only hide at the entrance to the valley and intercept the cultivators trying to enter this place.” After Zhangsun Yan experienced a few dangers, she suddenly spoke out.

  But not a single pers
on replied to her words, as everyone present there had already understood this truth. Moreover, looking at this place, no one knew how much bigger would the third segment of this path be when compared to the first segment and this place here. Perhaps numerous years later, they would also have to retreat from this place, block the entrance to this place to intercept and extort resources from the newly arrived batch of cultivators, all in order to seek out more Spirit Stones to improve their cultivation.

  “Junior Apprentice Sister Yan Ji has also arrived.” Cheng Yixiao spoke suddenly.

  A few moments later, 6-7 people rapidly arrived from a distant place, after having noticed Cheng Yixiao and his team, they immediately stopped, every person on the respective teams knew each other as such there was no need for greetings and introductions.

  “Greetings to Senior Apprentice Brother Cheng.” Yan Ji and the others nonetheless gave a polite greeting to Cheng Yixiao, as among them Cheng Yixiao’s cultivation was the highest. Moreover, his status among them was also the highest.

  Yan Ji and Nalan Ruxue had some differences between them, as such although she had taken the initiative to greet them politely, Nalan Ruxue simply did not even return a single sound. Conversely, she was much more warmed towards Jia Lingwei.

  “This is the Second Segment of the Law’s Way, although the probability of us falling here is high but at least it is not like before, which is why we must not casually intrude into the territory of an advanced levelled monstrous beast. We are simply not powerful enough.” Since the people in front of him had greeted them politely, Cheng Yixiao also replied to them in a calm and dignified manner.

  If Yan Ji and the others had entered the Second Segment of the Law’s Way at an earlier time, then they might have understood Cheng Yixiao’s words, but she then she actually inquired about a completely different issue, “Senior Apprentice Brother Cheng, when we entered the Second Segment of the Law’s Way, we saw over a hundred corpses at the entrance of the valley. Moreover, the scene we saw was that of a complete mess and utter confusion, Senior Apprentice Brother Cheng, you seem to have come in before us, do you have any idea how it came to be?”
