Chapter 229 Frost Crystal, Kill Across Realms

‘This gray fog is indeed strange…’

Lu Zhanxing was very alert. “Once I am in it, I can’t sense the other party’s existence, but he can grasp all of my movements.” ‘But… can’t I just disperse it?’

Lu Zhanxing waved the ice crystal spear in his hand and astral qi shot out from his body.

The dense gray fog was instantly cut into pieces, forcing Xu Ning to reveal his true body. After being exposed, he could only hide in the gray fog again.

Occasionally, he would seize a few opportunities to attack Lu Zhanxing, but he was also prepared to prevent Xu Ning from successfully attacking him.

‘This Sect Master of the Jade Night Sect is not only strong, but also has rich combat experience…’

Xu Ning discovered that even though Lu Zhanxing was wrapped in the gray fog, it was still difficult for him to find a flaw.

‘However, although I can’t succeed for the time being, he can’t catch me either…’

Every time Lu Zhanxing dispersed the gray fog with his astral qi, Xu Ning would instantly disappear.

“This person is hiding in the gray fog and is very patient. He is obviously waiting for me to let down my guard and deliver a fatal blow at the critical moment.’

Lu Zhanxing also figured out Xu Ning’s thoughts.

Xu Ning felt that Lu Zhanxing was watertight. On the other side, Lu Zhanxing also felt that Xu Ning was not easy to deal with.

‘In this case, I have to use other methods…’ Lu Zhanxing thought.

“Ha!”

Lu Zhanxing suddenly jumped out of the gray

fog.

This time, Xu Ning did not immediately activate the gray fog. He could feel that Lu Zhanxing was about to show his cards.

Xu Ning was not afraid that Lu Zhanxing would escape. During the fight, Xu Ning had already noticed that Lu Zhanxing was very eager to obtain his Wind Smoke Gourd and the Cyan Wolf Knife. He obviously wanted to seize his treasures.

This kind of greedy and confident person would never give up this opportunity.

Lu Zhanxing flipped his hand and an irregular-shaped transparent ice crystal appeared in his hand.

The ice crystal emitted colorful light under the refraction of the sunlight.

‘Although it is a waste to consume this frost ice crystal, if I can obtain his secret treasure and special dao weapon, then this loss is nothing!’

Kacha!

Lu Zhanxing took the initiative to crush the frost ice crystal.

The shattered frost ice crystal instantly turned into a light blue qi current, which then attached to his ice crystal dao weapon. “Frost!”

Lu Zhanxing stepped on the ground and cracks started to spread on the ground. His entire body flew into the air.

In an instant, dozens of ice crystal spears condensed and floated in front of Lu Zhanxing.

“Fall!”

As soon as Lu Zhanxing finished speaking, dozens of ice crystal spears instantly pierced into the gray fog.

Two of the ice spears brushed past Xu Ning.

‘What a domineering aura!’

Xu Ning was shocked.

Astral qi flowed on the surface of the ice crystal spear, instantly shattering the gray fog.

Xu Ning couldn’t escape.

Just when Xu Ning was about to close the gray fog, he suddenly noticed that the speed at which the gray fog flowed was extremely slow. ‘These ice crystal spears have the power to freeze the gray fog!’ Not only the gray fog, but Xu Ning also noticed that his body had begun to freeze, and his body had also begun to stiffen.

“Die!”

Lu Zhanxing roared and jumped down with the ice spear in his hand, stabbing towards Xu Ning’s head.

Xu Ning immediately activated his dao realm power.

Because his previous attribute seeds were water and fire, Xu Ning’s dao realm body was also infused with water and fire.

Therefore, after activating the water and fire dao realm power, the frost in his body was first melted, then dispersed. Xu Ning’s body also recovered to its initial state.

Bang!

Lu Zhanxing’s spear came down, and Xu Ning dodged it. In his place, a deep pit with a radius of ten meters appeared on the ground.

“The gray fog you controlled has been frozen and is flowing slowly. It is no longer a threat to me!”

Although this attack did not succeed, Lu Zhanxing was not in a hurry.

“Without the support of the secret treasure, how can you be my opponent?”

Lu Zhanxing looked straight at Xu Ning. “If you hand over the secret treasure and the special dao weapon, I will spare your life. Moreover, your strength is not bad. You can join the Jade Night Sect, and I won’t pursue your actions today.”

Lu Zhanxing’s words were half true. He did admire Xu Ning’s strength. Lu Zhanxing could sense that Xu Ning’s bodily strength and dao realm power were extremely fierce. This showed that when he was in the true domain realm, he had condensed a lot of attribute seeds. If such a person was taken under his wing, it would be a huge help.

Of course, even if Xu Ning was taken in as a subordinate, Lu Zhanxing would definitely use methods to restrict his freedom.

“It’s useless to talk too much. When you decided to destroy the Yuelan Sect, the feud between the two of us could no longer be resolved!”

Although the gray fog was frozen and it was flowing slowly, Xu Ning still calmly responded without showing any signs of fear.

“You are from the Yuelan Sect?”

Lu Zhanxing’s eyes twitched. He had always thought that Gu Man and Teng Yunkong had found Xu Ning for help from State Wansheng.

Xu Ning smiled and did not respond.

He injected the power of the dao realm into the Cyan Wolf Blade.

Auoo!

With a heart-trembling howl, the apparition of the cyan wolf head floated out of the cyan wolf knife and connected to Xu Ning’s body.

When he was in the true domain realm, this cyan wolf apparition would consume Xu Ning’s blood qi, causing Xu Ning to suffer a huge backlash.

But after advancing to the dao realm, Xu Ning’s body had transformed, so this consumption could now be completely controlled. “I didn’t expect that there would be someone like you hidden in the sects of the seventeen states!”

Lu Zhanxing’s words were full of praise, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Lu Zhanxing had clearly realized that Luan Shijian, who had been sent to the Yuelan Sect to carry out the annihilation mission, would never return again. “Although I don’t know why you are still in the seventeen states of the Abyss North after advancing to the dao realm, but if nothing goes wrong, you will never have the opportunity to go to State Wansheng again!”

Lu Zhanxing thought that Xu Ning had been in the dao realm for a long time.

“Because today is the day you will die!”

Lu Zhanxing rushed towards Xu Ning.

Xu Ning did not retreat. With the help of the cyan wolf apparition, he faced Lu Zhanxing head-on.

Bang! Bang! Bang! As the two fought, waves of qi burst out, breaking trees and stones in a radius of hundreds of meters.

Although Lu Zhanxing had astral qi attached to the surface of the ice crystal spear, Xu Ning could still hold on with the support of the cyan wolf apparition. However, after a while, it was getting a little difficult.

‘I have to obtain this dao weapon!’

The more they fought, the more Lu Zhanxing noticed the extraordinariness of Xu Ning’s dao weapon.

The greed in his heart made Lu Zhanxing explode with greater strength.

For a moment, Xu Ning was at a disadvantage. “Can’t take it anymore? Even if you beg for mercy now, it’s too late!” Lu Zhanxing became more and more arrogant.

Whoosh!

Another spear came.

Seeing this, Xu Ning’s pupils shrank. “It’s time!”

The moment Xu Ning resisted with his knife, another gray fog enveloped the two.

“What?!”

Lu Zhanxing was shocked. “How can you still activate this gray fog?”

‘No, it’s not reactivated. The gray fog from before is still frozen. It’s impossible to break out of the frozen state in such a short time. This gray fog that just appeared is another type of fog.’

Obviously, this was Xu Ning’s last resort.

Lu Zhanxing was suddenly amazed by Xu Ning’s forbearance. Even when facing a higher-level opponent, he could still retain his trump cards until the critical moment.

“I underestimated you!”

After realizing this, Lu Zhanxing praised loudly, “But what can you do?”

Just when Lu Zhanxing was about to take out another frost ice crystal, he suddenly felt the dao realm power in his body begin to lose control. Inside his body, he felt stinging pain from his muscles and bones, and his internal organs were tearing apart. ‘What’s happening?’ This time, Lu Zhanxing panicked.

This sudden change caught him off guard.

‘How did this happen?’

Lu Zhanxing suddenly realized. ‘It’s… it’s the poisonous fog! This gray fog is poisonous!’

Only then did Lu Zhanxing realize that Xu Ning had more than one trump card.

He first deliberately showed that he was forced into a desperate situation, then threw out all his trump cards, catching him off guard and making him unable to resist.

“It’s time to end this!”

Xu Ning suddenly appeared in front of Lu Zhanxing.

“Stop!”

Lu Zhanxing quickly shouted, “I am the Sect Master of the Jade Night Sect, Lu Zhanxing. If you spare my life, I can give you all the resources of my sect!”

“I can also get everything you have after I kill

you!”

Xu Ning no longer held back his strength. The cyan wolf behind him almost materialized.

Roar!

in

The cyan wolf behind Xu Ning roared as he slashed down with his knife. Pfft!

V

Lu Zhanxing’s head instantly rolled down.

Xu Ning’s dao realm power and the tyrannical aura of the Cyan Wolf Blade destroyed Lu Zhanxing’s vitality.

“It’s over…”

With his six attribute seeds, the secret treasure Wind Smoke Gourd, and the special dao weapon Cyan Wolf Blade, Xu Ning could kill enemies above his realm.

In the dao realm, there was a huge difference between realms. It was extremely difficult to kill enemies above one’s realm.

It was rare for Xu Ning to do this.

Especially since Lu Zhanxing was a strong warrior in the astral qi realm. Moreover, he had used a special item, making it more difficult to defeat him.

“Hu…”

The moment he killed Lu Zhanxing, Xu Ning put away the cyan wolf apparition and his face turned extremely pale.

Although he had killed Lu Zhanxing, he had consumed a lot of energy.

In an environment with thin spiritual energy, Xu Ning felt that his recovery speed was extremely slow, just like an ordinary person breathing in the highlands after running for a while.

Xu Ning quickly took out a handful of recovery pills and stuffed them into his mouth. He sat down cross-legged and began to rest. Soon, the discomfort he felt slowly disappeared.

Although he still hadn’t recovered to 20% of his strength, he could now move flexibly.

Afterwards, Xu Ning took out the Wind Smoke Gourd and put away the gray fog. After Lu Zhanxing was killed, the dozens of ice crystal spears had shattered and the gray fog’s frozen state had also been lifted.
