Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1348 - 603: I’m Laying My Cards on the Table_2

Ning Qi changed his mind.

If he could establish relations with the immortal race, perhaps it would be beneficial for him when he goes to the Immortal Realm in the future.

That’s why he intentionally attracted her here, intending to let her go and leave her a favor.

However, he never expected that even after revealing his intentions, Gu Yueying remained relentless.

"Master, no need to waste words with her; we don’t need to build any relationship!"

The Medicine Spirit was also furious, reminding him from within his Dantian.

"Rest assured, since she persists in her stubbornness, I have no intention of wasting words with her anymore."

After Ning Qi agreed, he suddenly focused his gaze on Gu Yueying.

At this moment, she had unleashed all her aura.

Especially the bloodline of the immortal race, causing golden beams to erupt within a radius of several dozen feet.

Illuminating the dark void crevices.

"Prepare to die!"

Gu Yueying sneered softly as she leaped toward Ning Qi.

Her hands held a flowing ribbon.

Wherever the ribbon passed, the surrounding void backlashes were severed.

Inside were also surging blazing lights, clearly not ordinary.

"Master, that’s an immortal artifact."

The Medicine Spirit swiftly noticed the problem and urgently reminded, "Take it, we can use it!"

"Alright, then I’ll take it!"

Ning Qi agreed and instantly took action.

This time, he activated his Immortal Demon Power.

Suddenly, his strength surged beyond the Celestial Immortal Fifth Grade.

Under the dual augmentation, his power continued to climb.

In the blink of an eye, it shot up to Celestial Immortal Ninth Grade strength.

But this wasn’t the end; it seemed on the verge of breaking through Celestial Immortal Ninth Grade.

"Whoosh!"

However, at this moment, Ning Qi suddenly halted.

He had no intention of revealing his true strength but controlled his power at the Ninth Grade.

Around him was the aura of black demonic qi intertwined with golden immortal qi.

This made the aura appear grayish.

Amidst the gray, a hint of gold was flowing.

At this moment, Gu Yueying also charged forward.

She noticed Ning Qi’s transformation but didn’t care.

"Fooling around!"

Gu Yueying mocked, and the ribbon in her hands swept toward Ning Qi.

"Whoosh!"

"Rip."

Suddenly, ribbons surrounded him, as if trapped in an array.

Ning Qi looked at everything before him, furrowing his brows.

Then he brought out his Chaos Sword, slashing at the nearest ribbon.

"Clang!"

"Swish!"

But it didn’t fall as he imagined.

Instead, the ribbon shrank slightly under his sword.

Swiftly evading his attack.

"It has an artifact spirit!"

The Medicine Spirit was quick to realize the issue.

If controlled by a person, evasion wouldn’t be possible.

The only possibility was that it possessed an artifact spirit.

"Indeed, it even has an artifact spirit!"

Ning Qi became intrigued.

A ribbon, as a weapon, was already rare.

Coupled with an artifact spirit inside, it was a rare treasure.

So this ribbon would return to its rightful owner today.

"Master, if we get this, it adds to our strength!"

The Medicine Spirit cheered inside Ning Qi’s Dantian.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll go all out."

"Although it has an artifact spirit and endurance, I possess the Chaos Flame that can burn all!"

While speaking, Ning Qi raised his hand.

From his Dantian, he activated his Chaos Flame.

A grayish flame appeared in his palm and Ning Qi directly scattered it toward Gu Yueying’s ribbon.

"Sizzle."

As the ribbon was engulfed by the Chaos Flame, it made screeching sounds of scorching.

The ribbon, previously agile, lost its spirit at that moment.

Encased by the Chaos Flame, it couldn’t escape its embrace.

"Go!"

Gu Yueying wasn’t going to give up.

She unleashed a surge of force.

Her Celestial Immortal Fifth Grade power erupted, shattering Ning Qi’s Chaos Flame.

In an instant, his Chaos Flame was shaken off the ribbon.

"Oh, impressive, you managed to shake off my Chaos Flame."

Ning Qi admired her actions.

"Hmph, you think this Chaos Flame is strong."

"In my eyes, it’s just fire!"

Gu Yueying scoffed, but her arrogance faded.

She could sense Ning Qi’s strength far exceeded hers.

She couldn’t understand how Ning Qi managed it.

To unleash a Celestial Immortal Ninth Grade aura in such a short time...

"Really? Then surrender quietly!"

Hearing her, Ning Qi suddenly moved.

Charging directly at Gu Yueying.

This time, he didn’t use weapons but aimed for a physical confrontation to subdue her.

To make her realize the gap in strength.

"Never!"

Gu Yueying instantly discerned Ning Qi’s plan.

She activated her armor.

With the armor, her surroundings erupted with blazing light.

It circled around her twice, then the blazing light formed a shape.

It transformed into a fire phoenix, loudly chirping.

Upon appearance, its feathers ignited.

Quickly becoming a barrier of wings, securely protecting Gu Yueying within.

Ning Qi watched curiously.

"Master, this woman’s skills surely are numerous!"

"Our attack might not break her defense."

The Medicine Spirit immediately noticed the issue.

Its eyes were filled with seriousness.

Clearly, it never expected Gu Yueying to have such a move.

"Hmph, then use the Godslaying Bow!"

Ning Qi sneered, drawing the Godslaying Bow.

Bent the bow and nocked an arrow, all in one go.

From the bowstring, an arrow formed.

"Whoosh!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath, infusing his bloodline power into the arrow.

Upon release, the arrow shot out.

Instantly, it pierced the void.

Carrying Gang Feng, it aimed fiercely at Gu Yueying.

"Sizzle."

Upon contact with her defense screen, it released scorching sounds.

Her defense began to crack, revealing a visible gap.

It seemed Ning Qi would soon break her defense.

"Swish."

The next moment, the arrow pierced through her defense’s final barrier.

Heading directly toward Gu Yueying’s brow.

"Master, she’ll be killed."

The Medicine Spirit urgently warned.

It hadn’t expected Ning Qi to go for the kill, but given the situation, it couldn’t think of much else.

Thus, it hurriedly reminded Ning Qi.

"Whew."

But before Ning Qi could say anything.

An unexpected situation occurred with Gu Yueying.

Ripples spread around her, transforming her into a droplet of water.

As the arrow pierced her, Gu Yueying, turned into a droplet, was shattered.

Upon checking again, there was no trace of her where she had been.

"Illusion!"

Concentrating, Ning Qi realized.

It turned out, Gu Yueying had already escaped far away.

From the moment she noticed Ning Qi’s bow and arrow weren’t ordinary, she intended to flee.

"Where is she?"

The Medicine Spirit began searching within Ning Qi’s Dantian.
