Chapter 232

"Tell me, do I count as a successor-level Wu Xiu?" Li Youyi asked suddenly.

Jiang Ning had previously witnessed the confrontation between Li Youyi and Ku Di and Dao Di in the dark, and was naturally happy that he could achieve today's achievements: "I suppose so! But Ku Di is only the eighth in the First Grade of the Southern Territory. You still have a gap with her, and you are several levels behind Ge Xiantong."

Li Youyi said: "Li Jiu Fu had an arm broken by the Luan and Lin twins, and did not flee Qiuzhou City because of this."

"Cang Li had his head almost smashed by the Luan and Lin twins, and was not scared, still daring to fight again."

"Lu Cang sheng and the Dragon Palace, knowing the strength of the Leixiao Sect and the Dragon Gate, are far inferior to the imperial court and the Far West Ash Territory, yet they still dare to participate in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. Honestly, although standing from my own position, I curse them as the two worms of the Eastern Territory, but there is indeed a spirit of not admitting defeat and daring to face challenges in them."

In Jiang Ning's mind, her thoughts drifted to the Five Seas Realm of the Burial Immortal Town, the confrontation with the Fire Crow Cavalry on the Sui River, and... that night at the Bingzu Marsh.

Perhaps she could value him so much because he always had a fighting spirit that could turn everything impossible into possible.

Jiang Ning still kept a cold face, controlling her expression: "You have your reasons, and I have mine. You can't convince me, and I can't convince you. The way women and men think might be different to begin with."

"Then let's fight. I will beat you into serious injury, beat you back to the combat power of seven days ago, or even the combat power of the year before. By then, you should know that you must leave Qiuzhou City!"

Li Youyi knew very well that Jiang Ning's reason was "Li Youyi has absolutely no possibility of surviving in Ge Xiantong's hands."

Peach and Plum Mountain, on the Triple Heaven.

The Hidden Lord and Zuoqiu Ling stood side by side, looking toward the East City, their eyes very solemn.

"The Second Palace Master's method must be to recruit first, and if recruitment fails, eliminate immediately. Recruitment has already used Jiang Ning, who should be the one to kill?" Zuoqiu Ling already had the answer in his heart.

The Hidden Lord said: "I only hope the imperial court underestimates the enemy."

"I am more worried that Li Youyi won't even pass Jiang Ning's hurdle. We have all been young, which teenager can pass the beauty hurdle? Just like Yao Qingxuan back then, as long as she mentioned it to me, I would definitely have brought her to the Zuoqiu family, and no old guy would have been able to stop me." Zuoqiu Ling felt heartbroken every time he recalled that year.

"Still thinking about the past?"

The Hidden Lord glared at him, and said again: "You'd better worry more about the situation tonight!"

By the river.

Li Youyi suddenly distanced himself from Jiang Ning, drew the Yellow Dragon Sword, cold light shooting everywhere, and laughed loudly: "Imperial court? The imperial court is already setting sun, the building is about to collapse, crumbling outside and rotten inside. I advise your Jiang family to choose a wise master as soon as possible, or rise up, otherwise you will not escape the fate of family destruction."

Li Youyi was worried that Jiang Ning would show mercy next, and be seen through by the Second Palace Master. Therefore, his words were very mean and vicious, wanting to truly provoke her.

"Clang!"

Jiang Ning summoned the Jingyu Sword, the magic Qi in her body bloomed like a cloud, covering the buildings on both sides of the street, and said coldly: "Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Daring to curse the imperial court, curse the Jiang family, too ignorant of good and evil."

All parties were alarmed.

"Seems like the talk collapsed!"

Many eyes looked over.

Whether Jiang Ning killed Li Youyi, who rose like a comet, or Li Youyi escaped from Jiang Ning's hands, it was a major event.

"It's not a curse, but a fact. How many of the twenty-eight Lingxiao prefectures are still controlled by the imperial court? The muddy world torrent, rolling forward, you can't stop it."

Li Youyi retreated to the bridge, in the night wind, raising his hands and shouting high-spiritedly: "The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand. The year is Jiazi, the world is auspicious."

Jiang Ning was really a bit angered by him, daring to shout anything, this was forcing her to take a ruthless hand.

As a person of the imperial court, how could she listen to such rebellious slogans?

"When autumn comes to the ninth of September, after my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will be killed. The sky-high fragrance array penetrates the Lingxiao, the whole city is covered in golden armor." Li Youyi shouted again.

"You are looking for death!"

Jiang Ning could not bear it anymore, worried that this rebel would shout more rebellious words.

A sword of cold light broke the night sky!

She was like a flying immortal, instantly crossing a distance of more than ten zhang, arriving at the bridgehead.

"Wow!"

The magic Qi escaping from her body automatically condensed into sharp white feathers in mid-air. The white feathers, together with the sword light, attacked Li Youyi.

Li Youyi knew her cultivation was high and she was constantly improving, so he didn't dare to clash head-on with her, jumped off the bridgehead, and fell toward the water surface.

Touching the water like a dragonfly, stepping on blue smoke, he fled along the river toward the South City.

As long as he fled back to the South City, with the strength of the Nine Li tribe and the Zuoqiu family, neither Jiang Ning nor Ge Xiantong would be able to do anything to him.

Relying on the Clear Void Cicada-Chasing Step, in terms of speed, Li Youyi was a step faster than Ku Di.

But...

Only rushing out more than ten zhang.

Li Youyi was shocked to find that magic Qi white feathers were floating in front of him.

Only when he truly became Jiang Ning's enemy did he know how terrifying these white feathers were. Ubiquitous, and sharp as flying knives, constantly impacting his protective magic Qi.

What was even more terrifying was that white light wings five zhang long grew on Jiang Ning's back, shining on the nine heavens, holy and flawless, instantly chasing to his front.

"Want to flee back to the South City? Dream on!"

She hung on the river surface several zhang above the ground in front of Li Youyi, her momentum climbing to the peak state, and swung her sword.

A brilliant sword Qi tens of meters long, like a solidified ripple, completely covered Li Youyi's line of sight.

Nowhere to avoid.

Li Youyi stepped on the river surface, his combat art intent presented behind him, as if standing on the surging sea, raising his sword and slashing down directly.

"Taiyi Opens the Sea!"

"Boom!"

One horizontal and one vertical, two sword lights clashed together.

Jiang Ning's sword Qi was too thick, as if boundless.

Li Youyi could not completely slash it open, was hit by the remaining force of the sword Qi, fortunately he had long urged the three-layer protective magic artifact battle suit on his body, his body flew backward, his chest feeling as if it had been slashed horizontally by a wooden stick.

In the Burial Immortal Town, Jiang Ning already possessed the combat power to chase and kill the Dragon Court.

After constantly expanding the ancestral fields, her cultivation had been improving for months.

With her current strength, it was not an easy task for ordinary successors to escape from her hands.

"It seems she really wants to beat me into serious injury and personally expel me from the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. That's right, if I can't even pass her hurdle, how can I pass Ge Xiantong's hurdle? She is weighing me!"

Cannot fight her in an open area.

Li Youyi left the river channel, shuttled through the forest, then drilled into small alleys and dark culverts, thereby weakening the speed advantage brought by Jiang Ning's light wings.

"Swish!"

Jiang Ning retracted her wings and landed on the ground, falling into the dense forest of buildings, disappearing from Li Youyi's line of sight.

Li Youyi felt very bad, hurriedly released his mental power to perceive, exerted his hearing and smell to the extreme, looked up at the inner city wall in front, and continued to go south.

Suddenly, a warning sign arose.

Hundreds and thousands of sword Qi, like a tide, surged out from the darkness.

Jiang Ning didn't know what sword move she was using, as if she could block a thousand troops and horses alone, the magic Qi in her body didn't know how many times thicker than Li Youyi's.

"Bang bang!"

Li Youyi stepped on the footwork and swung his sword repeatedly, defending airtightly, propping up a sword net in front of him, shattering all the sword Qi that approached.

In front of his eyes, human shadows flashed like illusions.

Dozens of sword shadows appeared at the same time, crisscrossing, everywhere.

Li Youyi responded to all changes with the unchanged, observed calmly, and locked onto her most real sword.

This sword took his wrist directly, wanting to cut his hand tendons, making him unable to recover his combat power within a few days.

Li Youyi's left hand formed a palm, striking out a golden divine seal condensed from palm force, wanting to avoid Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning did not retreat, her momentum did not decrease, and her left hand also struck out a palm seal.

"Bang!"

The palm seals clashed, magic Qi surging and overflowing.

Li Youyi retreated more than ten zhang away, plowing a long gully under his feet. The left arm that clashed with the palm force felt painful and numb.

The right hand holding the sword, although preserved, was still cut with a bloodstain that broke the skin.

Before he could circulate his Qi to heal his numb left arm.

Jiang Ning slashed over with all her might again.

Li Youyi met the attack fiercely.

The two swords collided with a bang, Li Youyi retreated constantly, forced by her to hit the inner city wall heavily.

Jiang Ning's magic Qi transmitted: "Know the gap now?"

"In terms of speed alone, I don't think Ge Xiantong is necessarily as good as you. So you can catch up with me every time, which doesn't explain anything." Li Youyi said.

"Then come again."

Jiang Ning quickly dragged the battle sword in her hand, the two swords rubbed, the sound was harsh, sparks flew. Then, she raised her sword and slashed at his waist and abdomen.

Li Youyi had long cultivated the Ruyi Qiankun Sword to a very high level, the sword moves changed, following his heart and will, blocking her sword, his body retreating to the top of the city wall like a swimming dragon.

Jiang Ning followed like a shadow, the Jingyu Sword seemed to be stuck on the Yellow Dragon Sword, chased to the city wall, stabbed at his neck, and transmitted magic Qi: "I haven't used the Dragon Awakening Technique yet!"

"Be careful!" Li Youyi reminded.

Jiang Ning's expression changed slightly, magic Qi surged from her body like an explosion, shaking away the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors that came to sneak attack.

Li Youyi took the opportunity to retreat rapidly and distance himself from her.

In the short confrontation just now, he was already internally injured, wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth: "What a powerful Feather Fairy, worthy of being the high disciple of the Second Palace Master. But this injury is nothing!"

Even if Jiang Ning knew that Li Youyi might already possess successor-level combat power, she was still amazed that he could block so many of her swords. On him, she saw a masculine temperament that many of those castrated officials of the imperial court did not possess.

Li Youyi's left arm swung like a whip, and after the magic Qi circulated in the gold veins, the pain and numbness disappeared instantly.

Fast recovery speed was another advantage that made him dare to fight opponents stronger than himself.

Seeing Jiang Ning's slender figure become blurred and unrecognizable, Li Youyi had a headache.

She was too fast!

All the magic Qi in his body surged toward the soles of his feet, Li Youyi stepped, his figure ejected, appearing ten zhang high. In this process from bottom to top, a dragon shadow flashed away under his feet.

The second step stepped into the air, his body rose again, and he went south.

Third step, fourth step...

Yellow Dragon Ascends to Heaven, ten zhang per step, extremely fast.

This kind of movement art was too miraculous, unheard of and unseen by the Wu Xiu in the city. Before long, Li Youyi appeared under the low dark clouds as if ascending to heaven, with the posture of crossing the city directly from a position hundreds of meters above the ground and returning to the South City.

Unfortunately, the one he encountered was Jiang Ning who could fly.

After a brief surprise, Jiang Ning spread her wings and flew up, chasing him, and a magnificent and mysterious building complex combat art intent appeared behind her.

Just the attack erupted from her combat art intent made Li Youyi's magic Qi chaotic, unable to unleash the Yellow Dragon Ascends to Heaven, and fell toward the ground.

"The magic Qi of the Fourth Sea is indeed problematic, very unstable."

Li Youyi released magic Qi clouds from his feet, unloading the downward momentum.

"Boom!"

Falling heavily to the ground, the street was dented, cracking a large area.

Before he could get up.

Jiang Ning had already arrived above, the two chasing and retreating, countless sword shadows, exchanging several moves.

"Swish! Swish..."

The seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors arrived, like seven flying knives, surrounding Jiang Ning.

Their body length was already very close to seven inches, only the last transformation away. The combat power of each was chasing the mortal Wu Xiu who had just entered the Seventh Sea.

The seven joined forces, and the combat power was absolutely not to be underestimated.

They didn't want to attack Jiang Ning originally, but Li Youyi told them that only by staying could they get enough dragon bones and dragon seeds. These two foods were enough to make their physical bodies stronger, and they could quickly transform into commander-level exotic insects.

Li Youyi and the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors joined forces, eight forces collided with Jiang Ning's combat art intent, and the street exploded, broken stones flying all over the sky.
