Chapter 36: Rules: Only Rely on Oneself (2/2)

As long as the opponent was alone, it was manageable.

“Xuan’er, stand with that sister!”

Ning Wuxie turned his head to remind Xuan’er, activating the Unbounded Sun Technique, and stars lit up his body like constellations.

Xuan’er looked at him with concern, worried that being nearby would drag down her brother, and hurriedly ran away.

“Brother Ren, be cautious! Don’t lose your focus!”

Li Luobing saw Jiang Ren about to lose control and quickly reminded him.

Jiang Ren had just activated his flying sword when he paused at the words, his eyes regaining some clarity.

The flying sword returned to him, and he held it with one hand, no longer using qi to control the sword for long-range attacks.

He remembered that Ning Wuxie had techniques that could cause the flying sword to lose its accuracy.

This time, he absolutely would not be fooled again!

Yes, as long as he remained steady and focused, he could still defeat Ning Wuxie!

After all, he was one realm higher than him! How could he possibly lose?

He began to dance the sword, his body bent down like a fierce tiger, the long sword held beside his face, ready to strike.

“Do you think I can only use flying swords? Let’s see what other tricks you have!”

His body suddenly lunged forward like a blue lightning bolt, arriving in front of Ning Wuxie in an instant, while his long sword feigned a thrust toward Ning Wuxie’s chest!

This move was incredibly fast, almost too quick for anyone to react.

But Ning Wuxie was not completely unprepared.

Stars flickered on his arms, with vast and ancient Star Power, while two stars condensed in his palm, preparing to meet the thrusting long sword.

The long sword drove straight in, but its speed gradually slowed, finally stopping just an inch from Ning Wuxie’s chest!

“Brother!” Xuan’er shouted, her expression anxious and fearful.

Fortunately, Dantai Ying stopped her; otherwise, she would have rushed forward.

“Is this all you can do? Playing with stars?” Jiang Ren sneered cruelly.

He could sense that Ning Wuxie was barely able to block his attack.

His dantian’s spiritual power surged, ready to inject True Qi into the long sword and continue the thrust!

Just then, the storage ring on Ning Wuxie’s right hand flashed with light.

At the same time, the Heavenly True Essence in his dantian, which had been slowly and quietly rotating, was no longer suppressed and suddenly surged!

The flying sword gifted to him by Elder Xuanji let out a sharp cry, spinning out from the storage ring, and in mid-air, the sword tip turned, aiming for Jiang Ren’s back as it stabbed down!

Simultaneously, the Star Power in his hands generated a silent explosion, a tremendous force that surpassed the Spirit Condensing Realm surged forth, forcefully pushing Jiang Ren away!

“Brother Ren, be careful!” Li Luobing exclaimed from behind.

In an instant, the situation reversed; Jiang Ren, who had originally held the upper hand, was struck back by the sudden outburst of spiritual power, losing his balance and falling backward.

Ning Wuxie’s flying sword rushed toward him from behind. He intended to charge forward, completely unaware that he could be attacked from behind!

With one attack coming from the front and another from the back, a deadlock was formed in an instant!

Jiang Ren was also stunned, wondering why this guy could always unleash such immense power suddenly.

Previously, on the arena, his full-force strike with the origin sword had been unexpectedly countered by Ning Wuxie’s sudden surge of several grades of spiritual power.

Now, Ning Wuxie’s displayed strength was even more terrifying and profound than before, while he himself was not as strong as before, having lost a True Essence!

Moreover, when did he become a sword cultivator?!

In an instant, the situation left no room for further thought. He opened his mouth to spit out the origin sword, hoping to block the deadly attack coming from behind.

When—

Ning Wuxie’s thrusting flying sword was soft, as if no spiritual power had been injected. It was blocked by the origin sword and immediately flew sideways.

Jiang Ren felt a chill in his heart.

He had fallen into a trap!

But it was already too late. In front of him, Ning Wuxie clenched his right fist, constellations appearing on his right arm, and dazzling light spilled between his fingers.

This unadorned punch, wrapped in the power of the vast starry sky, came crashing toward his face!
