Chapter 924: There Exists Such Shameless People (Part 2)

But at this moment, Chu Ning did not intend to do so.

After all, it wasn’t a life-and-death battle; just displaying a part of the Forbidden God Technique’s power was enough.

Thus, as the talisman attack came, the Fire Spirit Sword in Chu Ning’s hand was once again launched, attacking Jiang Cheng.

Seeing Chu Ning’s actions, Jiang Cheng’s gaze flickered slightly, and he waved his pen-like Magical Treasure, continuously sending out several Spells to meet the attack.

“After being hit by the talisman attack, the Divine Sense is damaged. There’s no way Chu Ning can control that Flying Sword.”

Jiang Cheng believed this exchange would decide the victory.

But the next moment, Jiang Cheng was utterly astonished.

The several talismans did indeed hit Chu Ning, but Chu Ning showed no reaction at all.

The speed of the Fire Spirit Sword wasn’t affected in the slightest, continuing to slash down at him!

“The talisman attack on the Divine Sense failed?”

At this moment, Jiang Cheng’s face finally showed an expression of shock.

Watching the crimson Flying Sword pass through his Spell attacks, it reached right before him in a blink.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng didn’t have time to think about the reason.

He could only grit his teeth and wave the pen-like Magical Treasure to meet the attack.

What happened next made Jiang Cheng feel a piercing pain.

With the collision of the two Magical Treasures, the Spirit Charm on his Lifebound Magical Treasure was almost entirely gone.

Though it wasn’t to the extent of being unusable, restoring its power would take at least several years of nurturing cultivation.

But that wasn’t the end.

Chu Ning’s Flying Sword, originally blocked, suddenly released a massive Flame Spirit Bird, lunging directly at Jiang Cheng.

The two were too close, and by the time Jiang Cheng sensed it, it was too late to dodge.

“Damn, I forgot he still had this move.”

Jiang Cheng thought to himself that this was not good.

However, his reaction was indeed swift as Magical Power surged around him, instantly forming a layer of shockingly powerful white Defense Shield outside his body.

The Water Attribute of the Defense Shield should theoretically have great effectiveness against Fire Attribute Techniques.

But Jiang Cheng was once again surprised as the shield had almost no power to resist.

As soon as the Fiery Sun Spirit Bird touched it, the shield broke apart!

It didn’t even last a breath.

The next moment, a scorchingly hot surge was rushing at him, as if it would burn him completely to ashes!

Jiang Cheng’s expression changed drastically.

Then, he took a deep breath.

Yet the Spiritual Bird paused in mid-air, not attacking him directly.

How could Jiang Cheng not realize that Chu Ning had held back at the last moment, and he spoke with a complex expression:

“Fellow Daoist Chu, your Divine Techniques are powerful. I admit defeat!”

Chu Ning, standing in place, heard these words, smiled slightly, and casually pinched a gesture.

The Fiery Sun Spirit Bird quickly dissolved and gathered into a thumb-sized flame, falling onto the Fire Spirit Sword.

During this attack, Chu Ning had only slightly used a trace of Earth Vein Essence Fire, instantly elevating its power by a level.

Jiang Cheng’s Defense Technique directly lost effectiveness.

Following that, Chu Ning gestured, and the Fire Spirit Sword flew back into his hand and then disappeared instantly.

His calm and leisurely demeanor caused all present to turn their heads in astonishment.

“This Chu Ning possesses such Divine Techniques; even though he just entered the Golden Core late stage, he compelled Jiang Cheng of the Golden Core late stage peak to surrender!”

“The talisman Jiang Cheng used earlier seemed to be some kind of Spiritual Sense Secret Technique, entirely ineffective against him. Indeed, Chu Ning’s Divine Techniques are truly unexpected.”

“The title of the Cloud Peak Alliance’s number one Golden Core Cultivator has to change hands starting today!”

The numerous Cultivators discussed animatedly, and even on the observation platform of the Daluo Sect, Du Xianming’s expression became serious.

“Daoping’s loss is not unjust; who would have thought Jiuhua Sect would have such a formidable Golden Core Cultivator after Yu Changge.”

Ao Xuan’s expression was somewhat dazed.

Chu Ning’s strength in the Daluo Sect meant that apart from the two Nascent Soul Cultivators, no one could pose a threat to him.

His previously imagined revenge was naturally hopeless.

Outside the field, people chattered; inside, Jiang Cheng’s face was also complex at this moment.

He had held the title of the Cloud Peak Alliance’s number one Golden Core Cultivator for over a century.

Even with a strong mind and cultivation, he could not entirely disregard such an illustrious title.

At this moment, defeated by Chu Ning, he naturally had to relinquish this title.

But Jiang Cheng lost without any complaint, because whether it was spells, magical treasures, or divine sense, he didn’t gain any advantage.

After a flash of melancholy in Jiang Cheng’s eyes, he quickly returned to normal and cupped his hands towards Chu Ning, saying:

“Fellow Daoist Chu, the younger generation surpasses the older one. Such divine techniques, I, Jiang, wholeheartedly accept!”

Chu Ning immediately cupped his hands lightly and said:

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, you flatter me.”

Chu Ning did not bother with many polite explanations, as he was not such a pretentious person.

Moreover, he only used a portion of his power and techniques this time, justifying Jiang Cheng’s words.

However, Chu Ning still had some admiration for Jiang Cheng.

Especially that final talisman secret technique, its attack was indeed not weak. If it were someone else, even a Golden Core Late Stage Peak Cultivator, might not be able to withstand it.

It just happened to meet Chu Ning.

Jiang Cheng cupped his hands and didn’t say anything more, and directly rose and flew off the high platform.

At this moment, Lu Yuezhang, a Middle Stage of Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Guiyuan Sect, flew onto the high platform.

After giving Chu Ning a meaningful look, he announced the result:

“The first place winner in this contest is Chu Ning of the Jiuhua Sect! Fellow Daoist Chu, according to the rules, you can bring a cultivator to enter the forbidden area to consume the Tree of Myriad Laws Spirit Fruit. However, this cultivator must be from our Cloud Peak Alliance, please remember this, Fellow Daoist Chu.”

Chu Ning directly responded, “The person I will bring is an elder of my sect.”

“That’s certainly permissible.” Lu Yuezhang nodded.

“All cultivators who have obtained a spot, gather again here tomorrow morning, and Nascent Soul Cultivators from the alliance will lead you to go there together.”

“Thank you, elder!” Chu Ning cupped his hands and agreed.

He was about to fly off the high platform, but at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

“Wait!”

Everyone turned towards the direction of the observation platform of the Daluo Sect, following the voice.

It was discovered that the speaker was Du Xianming of the Daluo Sect.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, I think the actions of Jiuhua Sect are inappropriate. Their so-called elder was just a cultivator temporarily added to the sect a year ago. Who knows the identity of these people, if they’re sent by other alliances, wouldn’t the Myriad Laws Fruit be taken advantage of by outsiders?”

Du Xianming said as he pointed towards Cen Zijin on the Jiuhua Sect’s viewing platform.

Then he continued: “Moreover, if this precedent is set, in the future each sect might temporarily recruit a powerful Golden Core Cultivator to participate in the magical combat. Then, this kind of heavenly materials and earthly treasures like the Myriad Laws Fruit Spirit Fruit would no longer be exclusive to our Cloud Peak Alliance.”

Upon hearing Du Xianming’s words, the cultivators in each observation platform around the arena began to discuss among themselves.

Although everyone knew the purpose behind Du Xianming’s words was mainly due to the conflict between the two sects, no one directly voiced support.

However, it was evident that among the many cultivators, there were quite a few who agreed with Du Xianming’s words.

On the high platform, Lu Yuezhang did not answer immediately, instead, he pondered for a moment, appearing to be considering Du Xianming’s words.

Seeing this, Du Xianming’s eyes flashed slightly.

Chu Ning won first place, but it was at the expense of the interests of the Guiyuan Sect. The Guiyuan Sect couldn’t possibly side with Chu Ning, right?

“Who would have thought there would be such shameless people in the Cloud Peak Alliance.”

At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded on the high platform.

The moment this voice was heard, there was an uproar at the scene.

Du Xianming’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam, and he soared into the air heading straight for the high platform.

On another observation platform, Tang Xuan moved immediately, also flying to the platform.

However, to the surprise of many, Tang Xuan did not land in front of Chu Ning but stood beside him.

It seemed that he was ready to act the moment Du Xianming made any move.

Yet, he allowed Chu Ning to face Du Xianming directly, with no intention of helping Chu Ning withstand the pressure.

Seeing this, Lu Yuezhang’s eyes flashed with curiosity.

He straightforwardly made no moves, just quietly watched the three.

He had the appearance that as long as the three didn’t engage in any extreme behavior, he wouldn’t intervene.

At this moment, Du Xianming’s aura was impressive, the pressure of a Nascent Soul Cultivator directly pressed towards Chu Ning.

The tone was extraordinarily cold.

“What did you say just now?”

Under Du Xianming’s impressive pressure, Chu Ning seemed unaware, calmly replied:

“I said, Daluo Sect is shameless!”
