011 Forbidden Ruins
The face was rapidly enlarging.
Ning Kui was so frightened by this scene that his heart stopped beating.
Instinctively, he raised his dragon-scale halberd and stabbed it at that disgusting face: "Get the hell out of here!!"
The water swirling around the Dragon Scale Halberd quickly coalesced into the shape of a roaring dragon, angrily lowering its head and raising its horns, before crashing fiercely towards the young mistress of the Zhu family!
The first move of "The Halberd that Subdues Dragons in the Wrathful Sea": Dragon Horn Slam!
The scene of flesh and blood exploding into dust did not occur.
The young mistress of the Zhu family had a huge, black mouth that seemed capable of splitting open infinitely, reaching a terrifying level that sent shivers down one's spine.
She actually swallowed the entire dragon head-shaped water ball, which was the size of a wheel!
Then, after a few swallows, he swallowed it directly into his stomach, and the black aura around his body subtly intensified by three points!
Holy crap!!!
Ning Kui's face turned ashen. If it were him, with his hundred-odd pounds of flesh, he would have finished in just two or three bites!
The most crucial question is, how can he possibly fight this? His prized water control ability is essentially like feeding the young mistress of the Zhu family a nutrient solution?
Just as the other party was about to grab Ning Kui's face and start kissing him, Li Qijue finally made his move at the crucial moment.
His powerful and domineering aura erupted, and his speed was extremely fast. Just a second ago he was more than ten feet away, and the next moment his whip kick had already struck the ugly face of the young mistress of the Zhu family.
So elegant, so incredibly elegant, Li Qijue barely even moved his upper body.
The starving ghost's face collapsed rapidly, becoming a concave crescent shape, with broken bones, teeth, and filthy blood splattering everywhere.
Her entire body flew backwards and "crashed" into the attic, smashing furniture all over the floor before disappearing into the darkness.
The flies that had covered the entire attic buzzed and scattered in a massive, overwhelming mass, resembling a large, moving dark cloud.
Ning Kui stared at the scene in shock. "Wait, was my knocking too loud this morning?"
Moreover, he clearly saw that when Li Qijue's leg struck the starving ghost's face, that wretch bit him!
How come nothing's wrong?
"This wretched creature's cultivation is only around the Foundation Establishment Realm, which is equivalent to the Flesh Refining Realm of my human race. It's not much stronger than Zhao Hu."
The realm division of evil spirits is similar to that of humans, with the Transcendental Stage also divided into four realms.
These are respectively the "Qi Absorption Realm," where one begins to learn how to absorb and exhale spiritual energy.
The "Construction of the Way" is the state of understanding the principles and laws.
The "Core Formation Realm" is a process of purifying one's own bloodline.
And the "Origin Tracing Realm," where the physical body defies its innate nature and gives birth to a trace of the true spirit of an ancient ancestor.
Li Qijue spoke calmly, gracefully retracting his long leg that had been dangling in mid-air.
"The Zhu family is one of the most powerful families in Yugu County. They have a deep foundation. A mere starving ghost at the Foundation Establishment stage is not worth mentioning."
You need to be careful now.
He narrowed his sharp, phoenix-shaped eyes, reached for the sword at his waist, and drew it. The intricately patterned blade gleamed coldly: "Once the main course is served, I may not have time for you."
"Go ahead and tackle your tough challenges; I'll take care of the young mistress of the Zhu family."
Ning Kui reached for the leather pouch at his waist; it was time to feed the fish.
The air grew increasingly stifling, dark clouds gradually gathered, and all birds and insects fell silent.
The lame old servant, standing quietly outside the Broken Rain Pavilion, looked up and sighed, his single remaining eye gazing at the iron-gray sky, revealing a trace of resentment.
"Sir, the other side is unwilling to accept your good intentions. You should stop while you're ahead. This rebel army in Bird Town is really here to wipe us out."
Since they are determined to die, what harm is there in adding two more wronged souls to the road to the underworld?
The lame old servant muttered viciously as he took off his shirt, revealing a hideous demon tattoo with fangs pointing skyward on his chest.
This is the source of the Zhu family's confidence in becoming one of the dominant powers in Yugu County.
This was also one of Li's goals in abandoning his journey to Yugu County.
They worship the most powerful demon beast of Fangya Mountain, the king of the mountains who has stepped into the "Elephant Realm"!
After completing the cultivation of the Transcendental Stage, whether human or evil spirit, they will enter two extraordinary realms—the "Elephant Earth Realm" and the "Dharma Heaven Realm".
Every "Elephant Earth Realm" expert is a powerful being who can follow the laws of nature and gradually integrate the natural environment with fragments of the Great Dao they have comprehended.
They will use this fusion to unleash their own unique battle domain, called: Forbidden Ruins.
Forbidden Land, Ruins of the Great Road.
My Way is eternal.
As the "invocation of the gods" was released, purplish-black veins quickly appeared on the cloudy white surface of the lame old man's eyes.
When the blood vessels swell to their maximum, the entire eyeball explodes into a bloody pulp with a "pop".
But his expression was devout, as if he felt no pain at all.
Black blood gushed down his cheeks like a spring, quickly covering and soaking the tattoo on his chest.
He curled up, prostrated himself on the ground, and slammed his forehead against the earth: "I respectfully beseech the Great Pig God to descend!!!"
Thick fangs pierced his cheeks, pointing angrily to the sky, while fresh and powerful muscles burst through his skin and grew explosively.
Its gray, tough skin and mane resembled pieces of armor covered in iron spikes, covering its entire body.
In just a short breath, the shriveled old man swelled into a giant wild boar taller than the courtyard wall.
The pure and evil demonic energy poured out unrestrainedly, demonstrating its supreme power.
Ning Kui felt an unprecedented chill penetrate his spine from the soles of his feet and rush straight to his head.
What the hell?
This invincible aura is just like that of a god.
And he himself, was he to be an enemy of God?! Even if God was incomplete!
He couldn't help but glance at Li Qijue beside him. What grudge did this guy's forces have against the local forces in Yugu County? The Zhu family came out with a big attack right away!
Fortunately, although Li Qijue's expression was solemn, he did not show any signs of panic, indicating that he still had some confidence.
Moreover, they are currently in the Zhu family compound, surrounded by the most prime parts of the West Market, which can be considered the Zhu family's base.
As long as they can escape the courtyard, the Zhu family can't just let their own enshrined monster kill an official of the imperial court in full view of everyone, can they?
Just as my heart was beginning to relax a little, the landscape surrounding the Broken Rain Pavilion suddenly shifted dramatically.
When Ning Kui could see everything clearly again, a curse stuck in his throat.
"I***!!!"
All around, there were no pavilions, towers, gardens, or waterside terraces!
All that remains are ancient trees that reach straight to the sky and poisonous, miasma-filled jungles strewn with swampy rocks!
He couldn't help but look at Li Qijue in shock. What level of combat was this? Should he not be here at all?
Li Qijue's face twitched: "I only wanted to broaden your horizons and help you grow up quickly, but I never expected the Zhu family to overturn the table."
Damn it, isn't the Zhu family afraid...?
When he was in Yujing City, his power struggles were subtle, restrained, and probing, yet he remained as immovable as a mountain and his aggression was as fierce as fire.
Unlike Yugu County, where people flip tables at the slightest disagreement; it's true that troublemakers come from remote and impoverished areas!
"Ning Kui, we are currently in the forbidden zone of this pig demon. As long as we can interrupt its spellcasting and cause the forbidden zone to collapse temporarily, we can return to the Zhu family."
"When the time comes, don't worry about me, just run straight to the downtown area."
Li Qijue stared intently at the pig demon that had begun to dig and charge forward, and finally instructed, "In the Demon Forbidden Ruins, demons will integrate the fragments of the Dao they have comprehended into their own small world, and their combat power will be greatly enhanced."
Stay away, and when the opportunity arises, run! You might only get one chance!
Before the hurried words had even finished, the pig demon launched a charge with a loud howl.
Its body is as huge as a small mountain, with its fangs pointing forward. No matter what giant trees or stubborn rocks are in front of it, they will all be smashed to pieces with a single charge!
The complex mountainous terrain is like flat ground to it, but it becomes an obstacle that prevents its prey from escaping.
This is its way.
Once the charge begins, the speed will increase rapidly, and nothing can stop it or hinder it.
It will get faster and stronger until it hits the enemy and smashes it to pieces!
A resolute glint flashed in Li Qijue's eyes as he tossed a gold foil talisman with the character "Jue" written on it from his Seven Star Bag.
The talisman flew headlong towards the pig demon, and at the same time, Li Qijue also rushed towards the pig demon without hesitation.
The shorter the distance the pig demon charges, the lower the damage; the more it tries to escape, the faster it dies.
The moment he braced his arms against the boar demon's tusks, the immense impact turned his face deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He absolutely cannot withstand a second attack.
A gold foil talisman descended from the sky and affixed to the pig demon's forehead, unleashing a powerful sealing aura that caused the pig demon's spiritual energy to fluctuate violently.
"roar!!!"
The pig demon roared angrily, its foul-smelling, sticky mouth splattering everywhere.
Ning Kui gripped the Dragon Scale Halberd tightly. For the first time in his life, he felt what true powerlessness meant. He couldn't even bring himself to step forward and punch the other party.
He would be torn to pieces by the airflow surging forward from the pig demon.
But, to make him do nothing but kneel down and accept his death?
He can't do it!
Just as the veins on his arm bulged, preparing to risk his life to give the god in front of him a small bump on the head.
As the power of the talisman erupted, the pig demon's painful howls grew more and more urgent.
The surrounding environment fluctuated violently, and a spatial rift, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, briefly appeared.
Outside, it connects to the Broken Rain Pavilion.
"Now! Run!!!"
Li Qijue, his arms trembling, braced himself against the pig demon, and roared angrily without turning his head, "Leave me alone! You'll only be a burden if you stay!"
Outside, dark clouds loomed and rumbled thunder.
Ning Kui, who was already standing in the courtyard of the Broken Rain Pavilion, couldn't help but turn around: "Huh???"
He didn't hear what Li Qijue said.
After all, he's not stupid; he's not capable enough, yet he insists on trying.
The most foolish thing to do is to let the opportunity slip away when Li Qijue has risked his life to fight for it.
Inside the Broken Rain Pavilion, the young mistress of the Zhu family, whose face was half-shattered, crawled out of the shadows, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Ning Kui turned to look at her and whispered, "You're not dead yet, young mistress of the Zhu family."
Perfect timing, I'm really angry right now!
