Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 688 Sword Pointing at the Sword King

"Huh? Are you sure you can do it?"

Ji Wanru listened to his analysis.

He always maintained an air of complete confidence.

They were immediately moved.

If he's truly confident, it can save everyone a lot of time.

Young Master Ding is not the kind of person who makes empty promises; if he says it's possible, then it must be possible.

"Yes, it concerns my own life!"

Why would I joke with you?

Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile, "Just have your men follow me!"

"Alright, our lives are now in your hands!"

Ji Wanru was relieved after hearing his assurance.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Alright, you should find a place to rest for a while too!"

"We'll set off in one hour!"

Ning Qi smiled and then prepared to find a comfortable place for himself.

"You lot, in half an hour, replace the guards!"

"The rest of you, get some rest!"

"We'll set off in an hour."

After listening to Ning Qi's words, Ji Wanru began to make arrangements with her people.

"Yes!"

"..."

Everyone readily complied with her instructions.

They all wore solemn expressions.

Ning Qi didn't waste any more words with them, but instead found a huge rock.

Go straight up and sit cross-legged.

"Master, are you going to refine this sword energy?"

The spirit medicine, located in his dantian, couldn't help but ask curiously when it saw him like this.

"Yes, I want to see if I can refine both of these sword energies."

"What different feelings will it evoke!"

Ning Qi agreed and then said, "You protect me while I give it a try!"

"Okay, Master, don't worry!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling immediately activated all the life force within her body.

Then, it transformed into countless threads and surged towards Ning Qi's entire body.

In the blink of an eye, it protected all his limbs and meridians.

"call!"

Ning Qi sensed that the medicinal spirit had already taken action.

So, he first took a deep breath.

Then, he began to activate the red sword energy within his dantian.

"call!"

Under his stimulation, the sword energy within his body began to surge.

These sword energies transformed into countless sword beams, which began to impact Ning Qi's dantian.

It was as if they were trying to completely destroy his dantian (lower abdomen).

Ning Qi could tolerate it at first, but later...

He was also extremely restless.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was tense from the muscles.

Even the bones developed gaps.

"Shh!"

The next moment, beams of light suddenly surged from his bones.

These things, after they appeared, were all summoned by this red sword energy.

In an instant, it merged directly with the red sword light.

"Buzz!"

This made the sword energy even more powerful.

Some of the sword energy within Ning Qi's body has even become materialized.

If it weren't for the life force of the medicinal spirit within Ning Qi's body...

His body had already been destroyed long ago.

"Master, are you alright?"

The spirit of medicine also sensed the danger.

I couldn't help but ask first.

"It's alright, you can continue!"

Ning Qi shook his head and then continued refining.

At first, he suffered greatly.

However, I gradually got used to this feeling.

In the end, this threat became ineffective against him.

"Condense!"

At this crucial moment, Ning Qi roared.

"Shh!"

The next moment, the sword energy within his body began to merge.

From countless threads, it gradually surged into his dantian.

At first, some sword energy resisted and attacked his dantian.

It was as if they were trying to destroy his dantian (energy center).

Fortunately, the medicinal spirit helped to prevent Ning Qi's dantian from being damaged.

"Hmph, still not convinced?"

Ning Qi snorted coldly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

After saying that, he no longer held back.

With just a wave of his hand, he summoned a beam of condensed light.

This condensed light exudes an aura of destruction.

"Since you're not satisfied, then let's make you disappear forever!"

After Ning Qi activated the condensed light, it began to shoot into the sword energy within his body.

"call!"

However, just as he was about to be hit.

The sword energy finally settled down.

In the blink of an eye, they became incredibly well-behaved.

If it weren't for the signs of damage still lingering in his body.

No one knows what Ning Qi just went through to completely subdue those two sword energies.

"call!"

Ning Qi snapped out of his daze and took a deep breath.

"How much time has passed?"

After he came to his senses, he asked Yao Ling.

"Master, only half an hour has passed."

"You still have half an hour before you set off!"

After hearing his question, Yao Ling slowly and deliberately replied.

"That's good!"

Ning Qi nodded, then asked, "Nothing happened here just now, right?"

"Master, there's nothing wrong, everything is normal."

"Now, we just need to wait for the right time to set off!"

Yao Ling shook her head and said seriously, "This time, we will be in increasing danger."

"I saw on the map that besides the red sword spirit, there seems to be an even stronger one."

"I don't know how long our strength can hold out."

"If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have found anything."

"We might as well not have come."

He expressed his feelings to Ning Qi.

Clearly, they regretted coming here.

"Don't be discouraged. Now that we're here, let's just go with the flow!"

"Heaven will not let us down!"

Ning Qi didn't care and said with a smile, "Just you wait, I feel this time..."

"This Sword King is mine!"

"Yes! But we still need to be careful."

"If all these people come, we can join in the attack!"

After agreeing, Yao Ling seriously analyzed, "If we go down too early and act rashly..."

"On the contrary, it will benefit those who come later."

"good."

Ning Qi simply gave a curt reply and then stood up.

He just refined this sword energy, and in fact, he sealed this place with an array.

Therefore, people around him can see him, but they don't know what he's doing there.

Even Ji Wanru, who was far away, only knew that Ning Qi was recuperating.

They had no idea what he had just done.

"Master, it's almost time."

"We're about to set off."

As the two chatted, they didn't realize it was time to set off.

"Ok!"

Ning Qi nodded, and then went directly to the group.

By this time, they had even called back the guards at the cave entrance.

Each of them wore a serious expression.

Clearly, they were also uneasy about continuing.

After all, many of the people they knew had already died.

The further down they go, the safer it becomes.

"Young Master Ding, shall we set off?"

Ji Wanru also walked over, her eyes filled with a solemn expression.

"Okay, let's go."

"Let's follow the route we just decided on!"

"Compared to the surrounding area, it should be safe!"

Ning Qi glanced at her, then said in a deep voice, "We're setting off soon, everyone must stay alert." "Yes!"

"..."

After he spoke, everyone agreed.

Everyone followed his lead.

"set off!"

Ning Qi raised his arm and waved it.

He then led the team to begin their journey.

After leaving this place, they entered another passageway.

This passageway is much more spacious than the previous one.

As everyone walked through this area, they dared not be careless and remained vigilant for any possible situation.

"There are inscriptions on this stone wall too!"

Ji Wanru followed for a while, then pointed at the stone wall and spoke to Ning Qi.

"good."

Ning Qi nodded and then said, "However, this should have nothing to do with us."

"We can just keep going!"

"it is good!"

Ji Wanru nodded, though she was still somewhat uneasy.

However, they still followed Ning Qi and continued walking forward.

The others followed suit.

They carefully made their way through the passageway.

Soon they arrived at a corner of a passageway.

"Can you smell it? There's a bloody smell!"

Ning Qi suddenly stopped and turned around to ask.

"The smell of blood?"

"I can't smell it."

"I smell a faint scent of blood!"

"..."

After listening to his words, the group of people each expressed their own opinions.

Some people said they smelled it, while others said they didn't smell it at all.

"How strange!"

"I can't smell it at all."

After listening to everyone's words, Ji Wanru turned her gaze to Ning Qi: "Is there any danger ahead?"

"I don't know, but I can smell blood!"

"You can wait here for a while, I'll go check on the situation!"

Ning Qi shook his head, then gave instructions to the others.

"You two, go with Young Master Ding!"

Ji Wanru was still worried and made arrangements for the two people.

"Yes!"

"..."

The two men immediately obeyed and followed.

"No need, too many people will only cause problems!"

Ning Qi shook his head and refused outright, saying, "I'm used to being alone!"

"Alright then, be careful!"

"Contact us immediately if anything happens!"

Ji Wanru couldn't refuse Ning Qi, so she finally had to agree.

However, as he was leaving, he didn't forget to offer a final reminder.

"Don't worry! I'll be fine!"

Ning Qi smiled and gave her a confident look.

Then, he continued forward to investigate the situation on his own.

He walked forward for a while and eventually came to a relatively open area.

Here, he saw some corpses lying on the ground.

The stench comes from the blood flowing from the corpse's body.

"strangeness!"

"Is this... someone from the demon race?"

The spirit medicine, inside Ning Qi's dantian, curiously observed the situation ahead.

That's when I couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm, I don't know, but Ji Wanru should know!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi shook his head and then said, "Let's go back and call her over to see how things are going!"

"it is good!"

Yao Ling agreed and said nothing more.

Ning Qi turned around and headed back in the direction where Ji Wanru and the others were.

After a short while, he finally returned to their side.

"Young Master Ding, how is the situation?"

"Did you find anything?"

"..."

Several guards rushed over before Ji Wanru could ask any questions.

Their faces were all solemn.

"A considerable number of corpses were found."

"However, I'm not sure what race they are."

"Let's go and see who this person is."

Ning Qi shook his head and began to speak eloquently.

"Okay, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wanru immediately became interested.

So the person who had called her followed and hurried forward.

Knowing that Ning Qi said there was no danger was like putting their minds at ease.

They continued on their way, and after a short while, they returned to the place where Ning Qi had just been.

Everyone then noticed the body on the ground.

"It's definitely a demon!"

After observing for a moment, Ji Wanru said with great certainty.

"you sure?"

Ning Qi refocused his attention and asked seriously.

"I'm sure!"

Ji Wanru nodded and said again, "The bloodline power of the demon race and the physical characteristics match."

"Then what do we do? Should we collect their bodies?"

"Yes, if we bring them back, we can even ask the demon race for a reward!"

"..."

The guards began to discuss the matter amongst themselves.

Their faces were filled with rapture.

If I can seize this opportunity to receive a reward, then this trip will have been worthwhile.

"Don't rush!"

Ning Qi waved his hand, then turned his attention to a corpse.

"what happened?"

Upon seeing this, Ji Wanru couldn't help but show a look of curiosity.

After following them over, he asked the question.

"Let me see how these corpses were killed."

Ning Qi pointed to a corpse and said in a deep voice, "This person doesn't look very old."

"I never imagined he would perish here."

"Yes, it's such a pity."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wanru also sighed and said, "However, since someone has been killed here..."

"Does that mean... there's a sword spirit here?"

"Yeah, is it even stronger now, and we can't see it anymore?"

"That's troublesome. Everyone be on high alert!"

"..."

After she finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but worry.

They quickly analyzed the situation one by one.

"Don't worry, you won't be unable to see!"

Ning Qi shook his head and continued, "Moreover, the sword spirits here should have all been killed by them."

"But how can you prove that they killed the sword spirits here?"

"If we encounter the road, then we'll be in trouble."

"Yes, we absolutely cannot be careless!"

"..."

After Ning Qi said that, everyone here chimed in with their own comments.

Fearing that if they hesitated even a moment, Ning Qi might make some foolish decision.

"Keep going, there won't be any problems here!"

Ning Qi was speechless at these people.

This is truly a case of "once bitten, twice shy."

If they encounter any problems here, their first thought is to leave.

I simply don't have the courage to continue.

"Yes, stop talking nonsense and follow us!"

Ji Wanru nodded and continued forward: "Young Master Ding won't go astray, since everyone trusts him."

"Then let's go with him!"

"it is good!"

"Let's give it our all!"

"Let's go."

"..."

After her words, everyone was encouraged again.

He then set off together.

They left quickly, showing no interest whatsoever in the demon corpses.

After all, if their own people don't care, why should they bother dealing with these corpses? (End of Chapter)
