Chapter 633: Nuwa Takes Action

Imperial Palace.

Longji Gongzhu found Yin Qi and said urgently, "Yin Lang, do you want me to intervene?"

She was also a Golden Immortal, so even from a million miles away, she could see the battlefield and discover that Yin Qi was completely on the losing end; watching him made her heart ache, and she wished she could run over immediately to help her lover.

Yin Qi shook his head and comforted her, "Do not worry, I am doing this on purpose. Do not forget, I still have the Human Emperor Armor and the Immortal Court, both of which I have not brought out yet, not to mention the Sun-Shooting Arrow, the Treasure-Dropping Gold Coin, and the Universe Bow."

Only then did Longji Gongzhu come to her senses, realizing that her concern had clouded her judgment.

………

High above Qingyang City, at a height of over a hundred thousand miles, Yin Qi and Jin Ning were still locked in a fierce battle; he was being beaten with no room to fight back, able only to retreat, dodge, and defend, yet he remained weak without falling.

Jin Ning unleashed all sorts of methods, even her Destiny Divine Ability, the Phoenix Divine Fire.

This divine fire burned everything it touched, its power even exceeding the Southern Brightness Separation Fire and approaching the Sun True Fire, but Yin Qi happened to be wielding the Water Law, which firmly protected him and left the Phoenix Divine Fire with no way to break through.

Jin Ning was furious, feeling as if she were facing a turtle shell with no way to bite into it.

Yin Qi said loudly, "Fairy, although this Daoist is no match for you, I am afraid it will not be so easy for you to take me down. Since that is the case, why don't we both cease fighting and sit down to have a good talk? As for the outcome of the war, let us leave that to the armies below."

"Hmph, you thieving Daoist, stop your flowery words."

"I must admit, you have surprised me, but next, let's see what you use to block this."

Jin Ning snorted coldly; she stopped and retreated, putting away her golden divine sword.

Subsequently, a long whip with a rustic color appeared in her hand, roughly three meters long, radiating a rich aura of merit.

This is the Creation Whip!

The Creation Whip, legend has it, was refined from the vine of an Innate Gourd; it is a treasure of merit and has a natural restraining effect on the Human Race.

This Creation Whip was already extraordinary in power, and it was even more formidable when used against the Human Race.

Looking at the Creation Whip, Yin Qi's expression changed instantly.

He actually felt his Primordial Spirit being severely suppressed, his immortal power flowing sluggishly, and deep within his heart, a sense of awe inexplicably emerged.

"The Creation Whip!"

Yin Qi thought of it instantly, his voice turning somewhat cold.

He had not expected that Nuwa would actually hand this Human Race treasure to Jin Ning; she was clearly determined to ruin the Yin Shang.

Seeing Yin Qi's ugly expression, Jin Ning could not help but feel delighted, and she said proudly, "That's right, you actually recognize this treasure of merit. Hmph, the Creation Whip specifically restrains you humans; I want to see how you will resist now."

As she spoke, she flicked the long whip in her hand.

The Creation Whip extended without limit, like an evil dragon emerging from its cave, whipping toward Yin Qi.

Yin Qi no longer held back; the Universe Bow and the Heaven-Shaking Arrow appeared in his hands, and he quickly drew the bow and shot; instantly, the Heaven-Shaking Arrow transformed into a brilliant golden light and shot toward the long whip.

Boom!

The Heaven-Shaking Arrow struck the head of the Creation Whip, and the surrounding space exploded instantly, like a supernova detonating.

Jin Ning let out a muffled groan, and the Creation Whip instantly shrank and retracted.

Yin Qi did not stop, and the remaining two Heaven-Shaking Arrows were quickly shot in succession.

But this time, the target was Jin Ning.

The Universe Bow and Heaven-Shaking Arrow are Extreme Post-Heaven Spirit Treasures that once shot and killed the Great Witch Chiyou; their power is extraordinary and far from what the Creation Whip can compare to.

Although the Creation Whip is a treasure of merit and specifically restrains the Human Race, it is not essentially a killing spirit treasure.

Just because it does not incur Karma when killing does not mean its power is strong.

"What, the Universe Bow and Heaven-Shaking Arrow!"

Jin Ning's expression changed abruptly.

Back when the Yellow Emperor fought Chiyou, she had once been ordered by Nuwa to descend to the lower realm to assist the Yellow Emperor, so she naturally recognized the Universe Bow and Heaven-Shaking Arrow, and she also knew their power—they could even shoot and kill a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

In Yin Qi's hands, he might not be able to unleash their maximum power, but they could definitely threaten her.

If she were not careful, she might even meet her end.

"Hit!"

Jin Ning shouted delicately; she danced the Creation Whip frantically, and countless whip shadows formed a whip curtain in front of her, blooming with golden Immortal Light like a city wall.

Boom! Boom!

The two Heaven-Shaking Arrows struck the whip curtain one after another, shattering a large expanse of the void.

At the same time, the previous Heaven-Shaking Arrow returned to Yin Qi's hand, and Yin Qi shot it out again without hesitation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just like that, Yin Qi kept drawing his bow and shooting; the situation reversed, and Jin Ning kept retreating, her face flushed red, and cold sweat even appeared on her forehead—she was clearly on the verge of collapse.

"Break for me!"

Yin Qi shouted sharply, and the Immortal Court within his body operated frantically, injecting terrifying Spirit Qi into him.

Boom!

With this arrow, the whip curtain shattered with a roar, and the Creation Whip was knocked from her hand and flew away.

Ah!

Jin Ning exclaimed, a look of terror appearing in her eyes, because arrow after arrow, one Heaven-Shaking Arrow had already reached her, its speed reaching the extreme, like lightning, and it was too late to dodge.

Just at this moment, the Creation Whip that had flown from her hand suddenly surged with power; as if it had a life of its own, it instantly pierced through the void and coiled around the Heaven-Shaking Arrow that was shooting at Jin Ning.

Then, with a flick, the Heaven-Shaking Arrow was shot back at an even faster speed.

Yin Qi's expression changed abruptly, and he cursed inwardly.

This Nuwa is truly shameless, actually controlling the Creation Whip from afar, completely disregarding martial virtue.

The Heaven-Shaking Arrow was too fast.

Yin Qi could not dodge in time and could only try his best to control it, slowing the speed of the Heaven-Shaking Arrow, because Nuwa had not erased his control over the Heaven-Shaking Arrow.

In the end, Yin Qi was still struck.

He let out a muffled groan and flew backward for hundreds of miles, the Sun-Shooting Arrow embedded in his left shoulder, blood dripping profusely.

Fortunately, Nuwa had no intention of killing him; she only wanted to teach him a lesson.

Otherwise, how could he have survived?

Without hesitation, Yin Qi glanced at Jin Ning, then strode directly away and returned to the city wall.

Not until Yin Qi had left did Jin Ning come back to her senses.

Her expression was complex.

She had been frightened earlier, but upon careful reflection, there had been no killing intent on that Heaven-Shaking Arrow, which meant the other party had never intended to kill her; it was just that the Goddess had struck too fast, instantly inflicting heavy injuries on him.

Whoosh!

Jin Ning returned to the command vehicle, and Fengyun Zong hurriedly asked, "Holy Envoy, what is the outcome?"

He was currently only a Heavenly Immortal.

The aftermath of a battle at the Golden Immortal level was too terrifying, and the surrounding space had been completely disrupted, so he could not see the situation inside at all.

"I have the slight upper hand."

Jin Ning bit her lip secretly and said, "Today I have already heavily injured him, but I also lack the strength to fight further. Let us withdraw the troops for today; after resting for some days, I will challenge him again."

"Ah!"

Fengyun Zong was startled, his eyes widening.

This Holy Envoy was a Peak Golden Immortal, yet she only had the slight upper hand!

But fortunately, she had won in the end.

He hurriedly said, "Good, good, then we shall follow the Holy Envoy's words."

Fengyun Zong wished he could break through Qingyang City today, but he had to listen to Jin Ning's words, so he announced the withdrawal of troops.

Jin Ning chose to withdraw not because she was secretly going easy on him to repay Yin Qi, but because she had to; Yin Qi was only injured, and if he fought to the death, she would find it hard to gain any advantage unless the Goddess struck again.

This was the power of a Spirit Treasure.

A powerful Spirit Treasure could erase the gap in cultivation realms.

But the Goddess could not strike again, or else it would be a laughingstock to the people of the world if word got out.

Thus, she had no choice but to choose to withdraw and seek reinforcements from the Goddess.

To fight again another day.
