Chapter 1313

After all, high-brow songs find few singers; having stood at the peak for too long, Ning Daoqi yearned immensely to ascend into a higher realm. Regrettably, after Xiang Yutian, there was no longer any master in this world who could make his eyes light up.

As for Fu Cailin and Bi Xuan, in terms of strength, they were on par with him and could not push him any further.

As for the others, the Evil King Shi Zhixuan and the Heavenly Blade Song Que were all among the world's foremost masters, but in Ning Daoqi's view, they were nothing more than that. In terms of strength, these people were at most on par with him.

Consequently, he pinned his hopes on the Four Great Strange Books.

Unfortunately, the Cihang Sword Manual was not suited for him.

Never did he expect that, after much wandering, he would actually encounter a supreme master today.

Yet in Ning Daoqi's expectations, this duel should have been a back-and-forth, evenly matched affair, after which Beimingzi's moves would complete his own insights into the Dao, enabling him to break through into a more profound realm.

Instead of the current situation, where he found himself unable to even make a move against the opponent's techniques.

Although the opponent said this was the supreme art of his Daoist Heaven Sect, this did not mean he was completely without the ability to cope.

The more unwilling Ning Daoqi felt, the more agitated his emotions became, and it was after he became agitated that, in Beimingzi's view, Ning Daoqi had basically already lost.

This was only because Ning Daoqi's Scattered Hands Eight Pounces secretly followed the principles of Laozi and Zhuangzi, changing from non-action to action; from action returning to non-action; and further, existence returning to non-existence, with non-action containing action. Though it changed in a thousand ways, it could not escape the essence of the Daoist 'purity, stillness, and void.' At this moment, in order to break Beimingzi's Harmony with Light and Dust, the offensive he launched, while as swift as lightning and with energy covering the sky and earth, weaving an invisible yet tangible wall of air above the Luo River, did not conform to the essence of purity, stillness, and void.

If it were an ordinary opponent, Ning Daoqi's sudden assault would indeed have caught them off guard.

After all, the strength of the three Grandmasters was there.

Regrettably, his opponent was Beimingzi.

Beimingzi was a master at the Heaven-Man level; placed in this world, he was an existence capable of shattering the void.

After executing Harmony with Light and Dust, Beimingzi's body first turned from solid to void, and at this moment, it turned from void back to solid.

This allowed Ning Daoqi to see an opportunity.

His offensive immediately became even more ferocious.

Unfortunately, as the numerous air walls shrouded toward Beimingzi, Beimingzi merely struck out with one palm.

"Break!"

Under that one palm, the numerous air walls Ning Daoqi had condensed suddenly shattered. At the same time, the subsequent changes of his Scattered Hands Eight Pounces were also broken one after another. The palm force of Beimingzi's strike landed on Ning Daoqi's body, and a mouthful of scarlet blood was spat out from his mouth.

After he regained his senses, he found himself lying once again on the bank of the Luo River.

Only this time, he would never have the chance to stand up again, because Ning Daoqi felt an unprecedented, excruciating pain. All the meridians within his body were completely shattered. Although he might still have a chance to live like an ordinary person after repairing the many injuries, the cultivation base he had painstakingly cultivated for many years had completely vanished.
