Ning Cheng gave a smile, “Since I dared to go after it, then I certainly have some measure of confidence regarding it. Though I have to point it out, that Pure Yang Fire Ginseng is really not a fake, it’s just that it doesn’t possess spiritual wisdom. The reason why that Fire Ginseng is able to run away is that that Fire Ginseng has a Talisman attached to it. Using such a Talisman to show off in front of a Talisman Grand Master like me, this kid is simply courting death. Besides, this asshole wanted to set me up back then because of which I already don’t feel happy about it. If I don’t kill him, then it would only be me being unfair towards him.”
“You are a Talisman Grandmaster?” Liang Kexin even forgot about the matter of chasing the Pure Yang Fire Ginseng as she doubtfully looked at Ning Cheng and asked.
“We can talk about this later, hold on tight, I’m about to speed up.” Just as Ning Cheng finished, he immediately increased the speed of the airship sharply, allowing the shadow of that Pure Yang Fire Ginseng to once again appear in the range of the two people’s spiritual consciousness.
Almost after an hour later, the Fire Ginseng escaped into a large swath of a remote mountain range, before it vanished completely.
“It’s time to start.” Ning Cheng made a gesture to Liang Kexin, before they dropped down from the airship type magical weapon.
“Although I did plan it all out, and knew that it would lead you to me, but in the end you still actually dared to come here.” An indifferent yet cold voice sounded up, which was then followed by a male cultivator appearing in front of Ning Cheng and Liang Kexin, it was none other than the intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator that had addressed everyone on top of the Mirage Gazing Conglomerate’s ship.
As the intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator finished speaking, he waved his hand causing a red shadow to silently appear on his hand before it disappeared. This red shadow was none other than the Pure Yang Fire Ginseng that Ning Cheng and Liang Kexin were just chasing.
Liang Kexin had already gather enough true essence in her hands, causing a small ordinary and mediocre looking lantern to appear on top of the palm of her hand.
“Yi, Heaven’s Mandate Neon Cloud Lantern? I really did not guess wrong, your origins really are not simple.” The intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator on seeing the lantern in the hands of Liang Kexin could not help but cry out in surprise.
Liang Kexin frowned, and suddenly spoke to Ning Cheng, “Big Brother Ning, it seems that this time it was me who ended up implicating you, this person seems to have come here in order to track me, and ended up also finding you.”
Ning Cheng already knew that this was not an accident, as he nodded and spoke, “I had already guessed it, let’s begin…..”
Ning Cheng did not waste any more time with words, as he immediately brought out his True Cosmic Devil Axe, while simultaneously stimulated it to bring out countless vortexes formed from the axe shadows, these vortexes were brimming with a deep and thick Angry Axe Killing Intent, which almost in an instant surrounded the intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator.
“Devil Cultivator?” Seeing Ning Cheng start, Liang Kexin and that middle aged Soul Essence Cultivator immediately perceived it. However, Liang Kexin did not care about it, as the Heaven’s Mandate Neon Cloud Lantern in her hands transformed into countless multi-coloured glowing lights that immediately swept out.
“You really are not like the other Profound Congealing Cultivators, but using this kind of tricks, in front of me, is simply not enough to even look at……” This middle aged Soul Essence Cultivator simply gave a sneer, while at the same time brought out a claw shadow that had an evil look with dark green in color.
The claw shadow that was brought out was just a palm sized shadow, but just when this claw shadow was about to collide with Ning Cheng’s vortex filled with his Axe Intent, it transformed into innumerable claw shadows with wry faces.
“These are Explosive Flame Ghost Claws, Ning Cheng you better be careful……”
Liang Kexin’s voice had just fell, when the countless Explosive Flame Ghost Claw’s wry faces exploded loudly, those innumerable wry faces carried such a dense amount of Yin Qi that it could simply terrify a person to death, as they devoured Ning Cheng’s Angry Axe Killing Shadows without leaving even the slightest of traces. Even the endless glowing lights from Liang Kexin were also being wiped out by the explosion produced by the claw shadows.
Liang Kexin was directly thrown hundreds of meters away, as she spewed out a long trail of blood from her mouth.
Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness and true essence was far stronger than Liang Kexin’s was, as even after his Axe Shadows were devoured, he only took a few steps back because of the explosions, before he stabilized himself. Once again wielding the True Cosmic Devil Axe, he simultaneously waved his hand, causing a ten feet tall Rank 6 puppet to appear and frantically charge against that intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator. Although that intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator’s Explosive Flame Ghost Claws landed on the puppet, it only managed to blast open a small hole on the body of the puppet, but was unable to stop the momentum of the puppet.
“So you originally wanted to rely on your strong spiritual consciousness and also a Soul Essence Puppet…..” The intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator simply gave a sneer, as the imposing manner emanating from his body suddenly skyrocketed.
Liang Kexin was shocked to find that Ning Cheng actually also possessed a Rank 6 puppet, her thoughts were immediately interrupted as a sound transmission from Ning Cheng immediately reached her, “Junior Apprentice Sister Liang, Take out your most formidable move and tie down this intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator for a short duration…..”
Just as Ning Cheng finished his words, he used the True Cosmic Devil Axe in his hands to once again stimulate innumerable amounts of Angry Axe Vortexes, but these Axe Shadow Vortexes at this moment were also mixed with Axe Traces with crisscrossing paths.
“Piddling tricks of insects……” Although Ning Cheng was able to explode out with extremely formidable killing intent in the form of Axe Traces, but to the eyes of this intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator, it merely amounted to a few superficial things.
Liang Kexin on seeing Ning Cheng’s crazy actions, also finally understood that Ning Cheng must have a killing move, success or failure would be determined in this one fell swoop. Otherwise, she could only escape from this place. The Heaven’s Mandate Neon Cloud Lantern also charged up. Surrounded by a dense cluster of innumerable flashing lights; it was giving off a type of deep yet obscure destiny call in general, as it rushed out towards the Soul Essence Cultivator.
The Soul Essence Cultivator was already tied down by the Rank 6 puppet, and as long as he was given a few more breaths of time, he would have been able to break apart this Rank 6 puppet, but because of Ning Cheng’s Angry Axe Killing Intent, he had no choice to divert a part of his attention in order to deal with it. Although these Angry Axe Killing Intent Vortexes were not something of a threat to him, but they were simply very annoying. But at the same time, Liang Kexin broke out with the complete power of her Heaven’s Mandate Neon Cloud Lantern, combined with the powerful destiny call from the Heaven’s Mandate Neon Cloud Lantern; it caused the Soul Essence Cultivator to momentarily go absentminded.
During this moment of his absentmindedness, a huge black net immediately covered him.
Covered with this huge net, this Soul Essence Cultivator felt as if his own soul was locked in place.
“You want to use a few magical weapon to trap me, let me show you how I break them all apart…” The Soul Essence Cultivator gave an angry shout, the Explosive Flame Ghost Claws once again exploded out with innumerable wry faced claw shadows, under the influence of this crazily spreading claw shadows, Ning Cheng’s Angry Axe Killing Lights also completely disappeared. However, those sinister looking dark green claw shadows unexpectedly were not able to tear through the huge net; rather they turned sluggish before final
ly stopping in place.
It was also at this moment that those innumerable lights from Liang Kexin dimmed down, as she was once again sent flying out, this time she spouted out several mouthfuls of blood, and although it was only for a moment that she was able to assist, it caused her to be seriously injured. Fortunately, her innumerable lights were able to block the explosions from those wry faced claw shadows from the Explosive Flame Ghost Claw, if not for that then it was highly likely that she would have died, she was certain that she would not be able to block the third volley if this chance failed.
“I’m no good….”
Liang Kexin miserably spoke out a few words before she heard Ning Cheng’s loud shout, “Die for me……”

A berserk to the extreme aura, in just the twinkling of an eye, spread out that seemed capable of encompassing the heaven and the earth in its entirety. Even Liang Kexin, who was thrown back several hundreds of meters, could also feel that destructive aura and was visibly trembling in fear; it was only at this moment that she understood as to what had happened, Ning Cheng had blown up his Soul Essence Puppet.
The value of a Rank 6 Soul Essence Puppet, a puppet that was equivalent to a Soul Essence Cultivator in strength, was simply beyond precious, and yet Ning Cheng had decisively caused it to explode, wasn’t this a testament to his hand being too big!
[TL Note – ‘Hand being too big’ here is a reference to an extremely wealthy and generous person.]
“This is really not good; the other party even blew up their Soul Essence Puppet.” This intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator, for the first time, understood a sliver of Ning Cheng’s thoughts, causing him to go into a sudden shock.
A Profound Congealing Cultivator to be able to control a Soul Essence Puppet was already an extremely great achievement, but the other party was even able to forcibly blow up the Soul Essence Puppet, just how powerful was this person’s spiritual consciousness?
But no matter what, this intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator did not dare to face the explosion from the Soul Essence Puppet directly, he was well aware that the amount of explosive power that was generated from this kind of explosion, even if he did not die he was at least lose a few layers of his skin.
An armour immediately appeared, attached to the body of this intermediate Soul Essence Cultivator, causing him to be simultaneously be surrounded by spacial surges, in an attempt to separate and isolate himself from the explosive range at this moment.
But at this time, the giant black net immediately started descending on top of his head. This was Ning Cheng’s Underworld Lock Soul Net, which he had obtained from Gui Yuhai, a best quality spiritual artefact. For Ning Cheng to dare to come here and even engage in a fight with this intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator, besides having a Soul Essence Puppet, he was also counting on his Underworld Lock Soul Net to help him tie down the opposite party for a few moments, as long as he was able to tie him down for a few moments, it would be more than enough for him.
At least until now, the calculations that he made have not been proven wrong. That Soul Essence Cultivator was simply too anxious to escape from the range of the explosion, causing him to neglect the Underworld Lock Soul Net.
The moment that Underworld Lock Soul Net descended, this Soul Essence Cultivator immediately felt his heart turn cold, he had actually forgotten about the Underworld Lock Soul Net suspended above his head. If not for the moment when that female cultivator’s Heaven’s Mandate Neon Cloud Lantern’s scintillating lights attacked him, then even if the opposite party’s criss-crossing axe intent vortex were twice as powerful, he would absolutely never would have made such a low level error.
“Bang……” An extremely frightening blast that was akin to a clap of thunder erupted, causing everything to be reduced to dust which rose up high into the sky like a mushroom cloud, accompanied with innumerable grits and soil particles as they also were ground into nihility.
Liang Kexin was only barely able to once again bring out the scintillating lights from her Heaven’s Mandate Neon Cloud Lantern. Although she was able to use it to block a part of the explosion, but even with that, she was once again thrown back flying because of the residual power of that explosion.
In the face of this kind of terrifying might, even if it were she, she would not be much different from a duckweed facing a storm.
Ning Cheng had combusted his true essence and spiritual consciousness to barely able to cause the Rank 6 Soul Essence Puppet to detonate, while in the next moment stimulated his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Cloud to rush out and also simultaneously bringing out his Profound Break Spear. He had seen that this intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator had not yet been killed by the terrifying explosion, showing that Soul Essence Cultivators really were quite a headache to deal with.
Fortunately, at this moment he was quite seriously injured, plus was also trapped inside the Underworld Lock Soul Net, even if was able to escape from inside, it would still take him at least a few breaths of time.
“Little animal, see how I catch you and turn each of your bones to dust one by one……” After the explosion, the intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator finally became thoroughly angry for the first time as he started to curse aloud. At this moment his face did not even resemble that of a human’s, his face was scorched to the extreme, covered in red and black with the whites of his skull showing, one could simply not even make out his original appearance from the way he was looking now.
“Hum…..”
But at this moment, the heavens and earth were instantly swept over by a colourless but extremely berserk killing intent; the aura spreading out was so frightening that it seemed as if it could tear apart the special barriers of this world as if they were tissues. Although it seemed to be coming from the distant horizon, but in the next moment it had appeared in front of his own eyes.
A chill that seemed to emanate from the depths of hell immediately spread out from the innermost recesses of his heart and mind, this intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator at this moment had completely forgotten about even trying to break free from the clutches of the Underworld Lock Soul Net. He even felt an explosion of intense utter despair inside him that was powerful enough to annihilate an entire planet to nothingness, for such a thought to rise in his heart at this moment was absolutely not something that even someone like him could resist.
This was a slaughtering aura that completely filled up the entire heaven and earth, causing one to not be able to even twitch, let alone move. No, that’s not right; it was something that was brought out by just a shadow of a single spear. The other party had completely suppressed him with the help of this one spear shadow.
If it was under normal circumstances, then that intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator could still be able to barely deal with the suppression that he was feeling from the innermost depths of his heart, using some extreme measures but it was a pity that even though he wanted to react to it, he was still trapped under the Underworld Lock Soul Net. By the moment, he came to realize this, that black spear shadow had already covered the distance between them and had already arrived in front of his glabella.
[TL Note – Glabella is the region between the eyebrows, just above the bridge of the nose.]
“Such a terrifying Spear Intent.” The intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator could only mutter those words to himself, this kind of spear intent was something that he had never even heard of before let alone see it, moreover this spear intent has not even reached the major completion stage, yet this spear intent was still this well illuminated as it approached. It was powerful to such an extent that it could even affect his mind.
“Poof…..” Together with a spray o
f a blood, Ning Cheng’s Profound Break Spear had completely pierced through the glabella of this intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator. Not waiting for his Soul Essence to escape, Ning Cheng immediately used his spiritual consciousness to entwine around it.
“Aah.” A shrill screaming sound immediately emerged, before it turned completely quiet all around.
In that instant, the surrounding space seemed to have turned grey in color, it was as if the surrounding region was completely devoid of even half a shred of vitality. It was as if all the life was wiped out of existence by this one spear from Ning Cheng. But soon, the surroundings once again were restored to the original appearance; the heavens and earth at this moment were still the heavens and earth from before.
Ning Cheng staggered a bit, causing the spear in his hands to shake a bit. “Pata” a sound emerged, as the intermediate stage Soul Essence Cultivator’s corpse shot down like a piece of garbage in general that was thrown to the ground. He could see that a crack had appeared on his Profound Break Spear, showing that although he did have a powerful skill, but he lacked the support of a powerful spear.
The spear in Ning Cheng’s hands shook a few times as he gasped for breath, before he quickly put away his Underworld Lock Soul Net, while at the same time also put away the magical weapon of the Soul Essence Cultivator along with his ring, then casted a ball of fire turning the corpse into dust floating in the air and only after completing those action did he look back at Liang Kexin and spoke up, “Junior Apprentice Sister Liang, are you alright?”
Liang Kexin was standing there with an open mouth and a glassy look in her eyes as she stared at Ning Cheng, that terrifying skill from just a moment ago had almost made her lose her mind, she never would have thought that someone could display such a terrifying spear skill if she had not seen it with her own eyes. Moreover, the one who used such a spear skill was just a Profound Congealing Cultivator.
