Chapter 628 - 617: Nie Feng vs. Profound Nether Two Elders

Ding Ling glanced at the task progress.

The progress of Task 1 was impressive.

The progress of Task 2 remained at 0%.

The progress of Task 3 was slowly rising.

If nothing unexpected happens, as his feat of defeating Emperor Shitian spreads far and wide, the progress of Task 3 might surge dramatically with it.

Previously, the progress of Task 3 hardly moved.

Despite defeating Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and others, in the eyes of the world, including the players, the world’s number one was undoubtedly Emperor Shitian, Xiaao Sanxiaao and the like, rather than him, Ding Ling.

And Emperor Shitian’s retreat.

Would bring his popularity to a new peak.

Making people in the world start believing that he was the genuine world’s number one.

Of course.

The progress of Task 2 is at 0.

This also confirmed to Ding Ling one thing, that Emperor Shitian is not the world’s number one here.

"Then who is? Xiaao Sanxiaao? Or someone else?"

Ding Ling pondered thoughtfully.

Now, although he could defeat Emperor Shitian, he couldn’t kill him because his combat power couldn’t last long.

The maximum duration was about one hour.

Beyond one hour, his True Qi would be exhausted, and he might end up being meat on the Emperor Shitian’s chopping block.

This is not what Ding Ling hoped to see.

"So strengthening oneself is the premise."

Ding Ling gazed at the direction Emperor Shitian had fled, thinking:

"Now that Emperor Shitian has been defeated by me, his Primordial Spirit is damaged. He should not have the guts to challenge me again."

As long as Emperor Shitian doesn’t show up.

And Xiaao Sanxiaao remains unseen.

This world will allow him, Ding Ling, to roam freely.

"It seems the plan to unify the Martial Arts world must be advanced."

Ding Ling sighed.

’The Venerable Lord intends to unify the Martial Arts?’

Nie Feng turned his eyes.

"Exactly."

Ding Ling said:

"You’ve also seen the might of Emperor Shitian. He has many experts in his Celestial Sect and Phoenix Island. We must gather the two major forces of the world, Unrivaled City and World Association, before he consolidates the Celestial Sect’s strength. Once we’ve drawn these two major forces together, Jiuzhou will almost be in our grasp. With enough resources by then, you and I will advance rapidly in skill. When we confront Celestial Sect again, it will be much easier."

"I follow the Venerable Lord’s lead."

Nie Feng said solemnly.

Ding Ling said nothing.

In addition to needing Great Medicine for unifying the Martial Arts, he needs a large amount of Secret Manuals.

And these require someone to help collect them.

Collecting them alone is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and not pleasing.

After all, in this world, there are many people who don’t fear death, some would rather bury Secret Manuals in the ground than hand them over.

Others need to come up with ways to help.

This world doesn’t lack smart people, these people will naturally formulate strategies based on human and geographical conditions to obtain these Secret Manuals.

Ding Ling felt this deeply in previous worlds, and this time he will naturally do the same.

Whoosh whoosh!

Ding Ling and Nie Feng’s speed was quick.

Apart from stopping twice halfway.

The rest of the time was spent traveling.

On this day.

The two arrived at a Bamboo Forest Residence outside Unrivaled City.

This was Mingyue’s residence.

Nie Feng, touched by the sight, showed a face full of bleakness.

He was about to turn and leave when suddenly there was a loud explosion.

The entire Bamboo Forest Residence was blown apart.

Accompanied by a series of angry swearing, a group of over ten people emerged from one side of the Bamboo Forest Residence.

"You, you actually destroyed this?!"

Nie Feng roared in anger.

"So what?"

These dozen individuals varied in appearance.

One had a face as pale as snow, a slim build, with his right arm fitted with an iron hook, a middle-aged man full of Evil Qi, and cold:

Another had narrow eyes, a malevolent face, and laughed eerily;

One laughed heartily, like a smiling Buddha, was full of kindness in appearance while hiding a knife in his smile;

There was one with a Yin-Soft appearance, ambiguous gender;

There was a half-human half-ghost figure, with hair covering his face, emitting an air of gloom, the whole person seemed shrouded in dark;

...

More than ten people.

Each had different looks.

But an ordinary person could see that they were not to be trifled with.

At this moment, the one who spoke was an old man with white hair and a sinister face, laughing and shouting:

"This is the territory of our Heroes Gathering. We’ll do whatever we want. You, an outsider, meddling?"

"This is clearly Unrivaled City!"

Nie Feng retorted:

’Since when did it become Heroes Gathering’s territory? And what is Heroes Gathering anyway?’

"You’ve just underestimated us."

The old white-haired man laughed:

"Our Heroes Gathering is formed by heroes from different worlds. Now standing in front of you is Lul Zhangke from the shattered void!"

"Lul Zhangke? Shattered void?!"

Nie Feng’s pupils constricted, instinctively glancing at Ding Ling beside him.

Ding Ling looked expressionlessly at this group.

Lul Zhangke?

He remembered.

Isn’t this one of the Profound Nether Two Elders in "Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber"?

This person was extremely lascivious, sinisterly vicious and treacherous.

Claiming to be a hero?

And saying he came from the shattered void?

Isn’t this just boasting?

He’s at most an Ascender!

"Senior brother, why waste words with him."

The man beside Lul Zhangke, with hair hanging over his shoulders, plain-looking with a short beard, upon hearing Lul Zhangke’s words, impatience led him to suddenly attack Nie Feng:

"This person suddenly appeared here with clear intent, and is extremely furious about us destroying this Bamboo Forest Residence. He must know its former owner. It’s possible he has secrets related to City-Overturning Love on him, capture him! Don’t let him escape."

Bang!

The man’s palm technique was insidious and fierce, once he struck, a terrible cold intent came crashing towards Nie Feng!

Clearly aiming to severely injure Nie Feng.

Nie Feng grew increasingly furious.

Suddenly activated Wind God Leg.

With a move ’Wind-Resistant Grass’, his body like a floating plant, legs like lightning, with a loud crash, he collided heavily with the man’s palm, the man was instantly kicked several meters away.

The man looked confused and shouted:

"The target is difficult. All together!"

Lul Zhangke immediately joined forces with the man to attack Nie Feng.

Both had excellent skills, and seemed to have practiced Breathing Technique, with tenfold amplification, they fought Nie Feng evenly, with no apparent outcome for a while.

Ding Ling watched and raised an eyebrow, thinking: "The transformations of this world are getting bigger and bigger. The world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber must have also changed significantly. These Profound Nether Two Elders seem to have received extraordinary fortune. Their skills far exceed my previous stereotypical cognition of them. Clearly, the world is changing.

The strength of these native individuals is rapidly transforming as well.

Some are becoming stronger and stronger. Others may fade into the long river of history during battles."

Ding Ling noticed the skills of Profound Nether Two Elders had reached the level of Innate Peak Great Perfection.

With tenfold amplification.

Moreover, they could engage in magical battles with Grandmasters.

Clearly, the opportunities Profound Nether Two Elders had in the past were profound.
