Chapter 140: He Zhenyu's Big Move

  PS: Second update is here, please subscribe for support.

  When Ningyuan surprisingly decided to accept the challenge, many people in the audience let out a low cry of surprise. Some were gloating, while others couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking that Ningyuan was too young for this kind of rivalry, which could end up being very embarrassing.

  If Ningyuan didn't fight back, at most he would be looked down upon, but it wouldn't be too embarrassing. After all, he was still young and not one of those old veterans. But if he were to be defeated, then it wouldn't just be himself losing face, the entire Jiuxianmen would also lose face.

  Li Yan hastily pulled Ning Yuan and said in a low voice, "Young Master, you must be cautious. If you refuse, others won't have anything to say. This He Zhenyu is not just one generation older than you, you don't need to care about him."

  "Don't worry, Second Brother. I have a plan." Ning Yuan smiled at Li Yan and walked towards the martial arts arena outside the pavilion.

  "Nephew!" He Zhenyu snorted inwardly and also walked out, but Ning Yuan actually called him nephew. Although according to the generation, he was indeed a grandson of Ning Yuan's generation, but being called nephew by a younger kid in front of so many people still made him very unhappy.

  "Let you gloat for now, but soon you'll be the one crying." He Zhenyu was full of confidence as he arrived at the martial arts arena and stood opposite Ning Yuan. With a respectful bow, he said: "Please, senior, teach me."

  Ning Yuan was also dressed in Tang attire today, with an elegant demeanor. He casually made a starting move on the field and said calmly, "Young Master He, feel free to use your skills, I won't hurt you."

  "It won't hurt me." He Zhenyu sneered in his heart: "You also need to have that skill." Of course, there was a big gap between him and Ning Yuan's identities, so this kind of talk could only be muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare say it out loud.

  He Zhenyu, although disdainful in his heart, would not underestimate him. He had already exchanged blows with Ningyuan once and knew that Ningyuan's kung fu had reached the level of hidden strength. This time, he naturally wouldn't fall into the gutter again, so he flicked open the feather fan in his hand with a "pop".

  "Sorry, senior."

  He Zhenyu opened his fan and shouted at Ning Yuan, making a false move with one hand. The fan in his hand was just a fan against Ning Yuan.

  At this moment, a gust of dark wind suddenly rose in the field, and the dark wind howled as if it were substantial.

  "What a great artifact!" Seeing He Zhenyu's powerful strike, many people couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Just looking at the power of this one blow, it was already close to spiritual manifestation. He Zhenyu was only at the inner refinement boundary of his spiritual realm, yet he could unleash an attack with such power - the fan in his hand was undoubtedly a top-notch artifact.

  Many people were already worried about Ningyuan. Seeing the power of He Zhenyu's fan, they looked at Ningyuan again, some praying for him, others waiting to see Ningyuan make a fool of himself. If this senior fellow of the Mystic Sect couldn't even block one move from He Zhenyu, then he would truly lose face and bring shame to his family.

  "Hmmph!"

  When He Zhenyu made his move, Ning Yuan let out a soft, cold hum, and his spiritual sense burst forth. With one hand, he drew an empty slash in the air, pulling and drawing at the same time, as a gust of dark wind also rose to meet him.

  "Conceal your spiritual awareness!"

  Feeling Ningyuan's spiritual fluctuations, several people suddenly stood up. With a look of horror on their faces, Liyan's mouth was wide open, and he found it hard to believe.

  How is this possible?

  At this time, many people had the same idea in their minds. Ning Yuan was only twenty years old, and at the age of twenty, he had already entered the realm of spiritual introspection. This...this could no longer be described as a shocking talent. This was an absolute prodigy.

  He Zhenyu also felt Ningyuan's spiritual fluctuation, his face turned very ugly. Although he had already guessed that Ningyuan might be in the realm of spiritual introversion, when Ningyuan actually burst out with the power of spiritual introversion, it still made him very uncomfortable. In this battle, no matter what the outcome was, Ningyuan had already surpassed him in terms of natural talent.

  The only ones who were relatively calm were He Zhengxun, Yao Xinyan and Fang Donglai. They knew some of Ningyuan's secrets, especially Fang Donglai, who had killed a Shape Law Division master with Ningyuan before.

  "Dad, do you think Ningyuan will win?" Ke Zhennan asked softly as he watched the two people fighting in the arena.

  "It's hard to say, but Ning Yuan is still young after all. Even if he has entered the spiritual retreat, it shouldn't have been for a long time. He Yu dare to challenge Senior Ning, so he must have been in the spiritual retreat for a very long time." Ke Mu Hua said softly.

  Although Ningyuan has already shown the realm of spiritual introversion, there are not many people who appreciate Ningyuan. After all, Ningyuan is too young, and it's highly likely that his spiritual introversion was only recently broken through at the age of twenty.

  Moreover, He Zhenyu was holding a magic weapon, while Ning Yuan had nothing in his hands at this time. Although the Jiuxuanmen was not without good magic weapons, whether they could exert their power depended on the time of tempering. Even if Ning Yuan had one, the degree of matching with the magic weapon should not be high.

  Everyone in the pavilion was focused, and Ningyuan and He Zhenyu had exchanged five or six moves in the blink of an eye. He Zhenyu held a feather fan, his attacks sharp and fierce, while Ningyuan fought bare-handed, barely holding on with his footwork.

  "Hiss, I didn't expect Ning's kung fu to have reached the level of internal energy cultivation. He is indeed a natural-born genius." After watching two moves, the people present once again saw through it. The reason why Ning Yuan could still barely hold on was not only because his secret method was to concentrate his spiritual consciousness internally, but also because his martial skills had reached the level of internal energy.

  At twenty years old, his spiritual energy was introverted, and with the dark and powerful martial arts cultivation, he was truly an extraordinary being. The two combined, and at this time, fighting against He Zhenyu, Ning Yuan didn't seem too disheveled.

  Li Yan let out a slightly relieved sigh, it seemed that Ning Yuan was at least able to hold his own against He Zhenyu, even if he wasn't quite his match.

  While others were wildly guessing, He Zhengxun and Yao Xinyan were sipping tea, watching the scene with ease, occasionally whispering to each other. Seeing Ning Yuan only showing a calm and introspective state, He Zhengxun couldn't help but smile at Yao Xinyan: "Little brother is indeed in high spirits, actually having the mind to tease He Zhenyu."

  "Heh heh, He Zhenyu is now full of confidence and his attacks are becoming even more fierce. Little Shidi looks like he's in a tight spot, just wait till he starts crying later." Yao Xinyan nodded her head and chuckled softly.

  Yao Xinyan and He Zhengxun were talking, Ning Yuan and He Zhenyu had already exchanged three moves again. The scene was now filled with a gloomy atmosphere, and Ning Yuan was completely suppressed by He Zhenyu.

  Liu Dong watched the two fighting, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and he felt a thrill in his heart. Today, he finally witnessed what a secret technique was, and it was indeed formidable.

  Gu Fenglin, standing behind He Zhengxun, also furrowed his brow, as if in thought, intently watching Ning Yuan and He Zhenyu's magic duel, but his eyes had already become somewhat dull, as if he had gained some insight.

  It has to be said that the fight between Ningyuan and He Zhenyu was indeed very exciting. At this time, Ningyuan revealed a realm of spiritual introspection, relying on his dark energy skills to cope, while He Zhenyu held a magical instrument, attacking fiercely, and the two were barely evenly matched.

  After ten moves, Ningyuan began to falter. As a fellow spiritual cultivator, the difference between bare-handed and wielding a magical artifact was enormous. Fortunately, Ningyuan's true realm was that of Spiritual Transformation, which allowed him to withstand the exhaustion.

  He Zhenyu saw that Ningyuan was already showing signs of defeat, and with a change in the seal in his hand, an even more powerful attack shot towards Ningyuan.

  This move seemed to be unbearable for Ning Yuan, but his body quickly retreated backwards, and he reached into his bosom with one hand, and in it appeared a delicate Blood Qilin.

  After taking out the Blood Qilin, Ning Yuan's spiritual consciousness pulled it, and a red light flew out from above the Blood Qilin, violently colliding with He Zhenyu's attack.

  An invisible collision, silent and soundless, yet He Zhenyu involuntarily took two steps back, his face pale with shock.

  The crowd watching also stared blankly, looking at Ning Yuan, and Li Yan laughed loudly: "Haha, good, little brother finally brought out his magic weapon."

  Ning Yuan took out his magic tool, and the situation was immediately reversed. Many people were somewhat unaccustomed to this, and just looking at this point, it can be seen that Ning Yuan is absolutely not a newcomer to the spiritual realm. With this move, He Zhenyu's advantage was gone.

  At the moment, both of them are gathering their spiritual consciousness, and they have all taken out their personal magical tools. Ning Yuan also cultivates dark energy martial arts at the same time, and on the surface, he seems to be even stronger than He Zhenyu.

  "Brother Ning is indeed worthy of being the master of the Jiuxuan Gate, his skills are truly extraordinary." Someone immediately changed their tone and whispered in praise, flattering Ning Yuan.

  He Zhenyu's face turned iron-green, cautiously looking at Ning Yuan, earlier in a tight strike, he knew that wanting to win over Ning Yuan was absolutely not that easy.

  Ning Yuan had just made a narrow escape, but was not injured in the slightest. At this moment, he took out his magic tool and appeared to be as calm as a breeze on a cloudy day, as if he had deliberately let He Zhenyu win earlier, with an air of a senior expert.

  "What's wrong, nephew? Do you want to continue?" Seeing He Zhenyu's unpleasant expression, Ning Yuan didn't continue to take action, but instead looked at He Zhenyu and asked with a faint smile.

  "Please enlighten me, senior." He Zhenyu's deep voice boomed, his feather fan waving rapidly in different directions at the same time, while the other hand shot out several crystal stones that burst instantly in mid-air.

  As the crystal stones burst, the entire martial arts arena's aura was stirred up. He Zhenyu's momentum suddenly soared, while Ning Yuan stood in the center like a fishing boat drifting in the vast ocean.

  "This place is really going to cost a lot of blood." Seeing this scene, He Zhengxun sneered and said: "Five Liang crystals, setting up a large Yin evil array, you really plan to capture my younger brother."

  Others couldn't help but take a cold breath, He Zhenyu had indeed spent a lot of money, each of these five Liang crystals was extremely valuable, the total value of the five Liang crystals was absolutely over 50 million, at this moment He Zhenyu didn't look like he was seeking advice, it seemed like he wanted to use his wealth to crush Ning Yuan.

  Everyone present knew that Di Zong was wealthy and generous, but they didn't expect him to be so extravagant that he would make such a big fuss over a simple comparison.

  At the same time, many people also judged that Tiandu was indeed going to take action against Jiuxuanmen. This time He Zhenyu's request for advice may have been just a probe, otherwise why would he be so extravagant.

  Of course, He Zhenyu used the Rhombus Crystal Formation, but no one could say anything about it. This formation was originally a means of the Mystic Door and also a manifestation of one's own strength. If He Zhenyu could use the Rhombus Crystal Formation, then Ning Yuan naturally could too, provided that Ning Yuan had rhombus crystals as well.
