Chapter 1144 - 501: All’s Fair in War, Deception Welcomed (Part 2)

The attacks from both sides collided once again.

This time, from the point where their weapons clashed, a beam of light burst forth, radiating in all directions.

This beam, like the cross-section of a mirror, spread out from here to all sides.

It extended for thousands of feet.

All the meteors and the black waters of the Sea of Realms that it touched.

Were completely split in two, without any resistance.

After this strike, both of them retreated once more.

This time, Ning Qi not only felt pain in his hands.

He felt like even his chest was shattered.

"Pfft!"

Unable to hold on any longer, he spit out several mouthfuls of blood.

Dao Bujin, from a distance, looked at Ning Qi in surprise.

Even after taking his full-force strike, he was still alive.

Although he also considered the support from the array, it was still somewhat incredible.

After all, this was a confrontation between a True Immortal and a Heavenly Immortal.

"Kid, you are indeed strong, but if this is all you can do."

"Today’s ambush will become a joke!"

"I will still tear you to pieces to avenge my subordinates!"

"At the same time, I will refine your Divine Soul and take it back for revival!"

Dao Bujin, holding a spear in his hand, looked at Ning Qi like a war god: "If you obediently surrender, I can give you an intact corpse."

"If you stubbornly persist, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

By this point, Dao Bujin no longer underestimated Ning Qi.

Instead, he gave him the respect he deserved.

First, he withstood two attacks from a True Immortal while holding his own against a Heavenly Immortal.

That was already very strong. If Ning Qi were a master with Heavenly Immortal strength.

Then Dao Bujin believed he would definitely not be his match.

"Oh? You’re so confident that you can kill me?"

Ning Qi looked at Dao Bujin, exuding overwhelming fighting spirit: "Then, try and see if you can do it!"

He was undaunted, directly channeling Infinite Evil Qi.

Continuously infusing it into the Chaos Sword.

"Infinite Evil Qi!"

Dao Bujin squinted, looking at the Chaos Sword in Ning Qi’s hand, already corroded by Infinite Evil Qi.

Emitting a sizzling sound.

"You’ve got a keen eye."

Ning Qi smiled, then flicked his wrist.

The Infinite Evil Qi began spreading from his arm across his body.

What surprised Dao Bujin was that as Ning Qi came into contact with the Infinite Evil Qi, there was no trace of anomaly.

His skin didn’t change, his body didn’t change.

Still, a whole living person stood in front of him.

Dao Bujin, being a Heavenly Immortal.

Had witnessed all kinds of situations, especially those eroded by Infinite Evil Qi.

Almost turning into demons, their eyes turning red, their size at least doubling.

Muscles would split, some even revealing the muscle tissue beneath.

More terrifyingly, they would be shrouded in Evil Qi, effectively no longer human.

Yet Ning Qi, after being corroded, not only didn’t exhibit these changes, but his strength and power increased.

He, you could say, had completely fused with Infinite Evil Qi.

Dao Bujin could naturally see the clue.

"You... actually fused with Infinite Evil Qi!"

He stared with wide eyes, intensely watching Ning Qi.

"You could say that."

Ning Qi chuckled proudly, looking at Dao Bujin before him: "Now, let’s try again!"

"Let me see the gap between us!"

"Even so, you’re still not my match!"

"The gap is obvious!"

Dao Bujin smirked, this time no longer underestimating Ning Qi.

He, with the strength of a True Immortal, had gone back and forth using various means with Ning Qi twice, already proving his capabilities.

In the phase of True Immortal, he could be considered an invincible existence.

Whether in strength or courage, he was a rare genius.

"If you don’t try, how will you know how big the gap is!"

Ning Qi waved the Chaos Sword in his hand: "Let me see your strength!"

"Then let’s begin!"

Dao Bujin laughed loudly, gripping his spear tightly in his hand.

Then seizing the opportunity, charged toward Ning Qi again.

However, this time, he used his Dharma Aspect.

Behind him, a phantom identical to him appeared.

This phantom continually added to his strength, causing it to surge.

In this way, at this moment, Dao Bujin almost broke free from Ning Qi’s array constraints.

Ning Qi felt Dao Bujin’s immense strength and especially understood the difference with a Heavenly Immortal when he saw the Dharma Aspect phantom behind him.

"Whoosh!"

Hence, he considered Li Donglin from afar.

Moving upon his thoughts.

Li Donglin sprang into action as well.

Attacking from behind Dao Bujin, suddenly striking.

Dao Bujin also detected the commotion behind him and wasn’t surprised that Li Donglin would make a move on him: "Scram."

In his view, Li Donglin was nothing but impatient, seeking revenge for the brethren.

After a curse, he continued confronting Ning Qi.

"Whoosh!"

However, unexpectedly, Li Donglin didn’t hold back.

He still approached them closely.

"Scram!"

Dao Bujin was thoroughly infuriated, cursing.

"Go to hell!"

Unexpectedly, Li Donglin indeed attacked him.

This subordinate, who used to obey him unconditionally, actually betrayed him.

"You! You’ve been corroded!"

By this time, Dao Bujin realized something.

This person was indeed corrupted.

"Too late!"

Ning Qi sneered: "Kill him!"

"Kill!"

Li Donglin roared again, standing within arm’s reach of Dao Bujin.

"Hmph, such despicable tricks are useless against me!"

Dao Bujin snorted, making a sudden move.

The spear pierced towards Li Donglin.

"Pfft!"

As expected, Li Donglin was directly skewered like a candied hawthorn.

But he showed no intention of stopping, and with a wave of his hands towards Dao Bujin.

Two materialized ribbons shot toward Dao Bujin savagely.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Dao Bujin quickly dodged.

He clearly realized these were Infinite Evil Qi.

However, it was already too late.

"Pfft!"

He dodged one blast of Infinite Evil Qi, but the other was unavoidable.

Infinite Evil Qi ripped open on his chest.

Rapidly corroding his body, enveloping him entirely in clumps of dark, murky Infinite Evil Qi.

"Ah!"

This kind of Infinite Evil Qi couldn’t be dispersed by strength alone.

He needed to go to the Immortal Selection Pavilion, to the cleansing Holy Altar, to be purified.

For now, Dao Bujin, being corroded, suffered immensely.

Everything happened too suddenly. He never anticipated Li Donglin could be tainted by Infinite Evil Qi.

And further, to come against him, was all due to Ning Qi.

This was undoubtedly Ning Qi’s doing.

Now regretting was pointless, Dao Bujin’s entire skin began to ulcerate.

Even he felt the agony, desperately circulating his Cultivation Technique, trying to disperse it, but to no avail.

These Infinite Evil Qi had embedded, not easily driven away.

"So, you’ve lost!"

Ning Qi also stopped running for his life, instead turning back, wearing a smug look, observing Dao Bujin in front of him.

"You! Despicable!"

Dao Bujin’s eyes were crimson, coldly staring at Ning Qi.

At this moment, he wished he could tear Ning Qi limb from limb.

Using such deceitful tactics on others.

"All’s fair in war, as long as I win and save my life, it’s enough!"

"Losing is losing, why blame others for being ruthless?"

Ning Qi chuckled, looking at Dao Bujin in front of him: "Be more cautious in the future, don’t be so negligent again."

"However, you won’t have a future. I’ll refine you just like him, make you my puppet!"

"Palace Master!"

"Don’t harm our Palace Master!"

"..."

Just then, those recently sent away by Dao Bujin were drawn back by the commotion here.

Two flying boats, one leading and one following, were speeding over to rescue Dao Bujin.

"Leave!"

However, Dao Bujin ordered them to leave.
