Ning stood there atop the surface of the water, staring at his surroundings.
It was quiet, except for the ripples on the surface of the lake caused by the wind.
"This Diremonster Serpentwing is far more careful and cautious than I expected. Not only is he constantly underwater, but he doesn't even dare to attack me when I, his greatest enemy, appear.”Ning frowned.
Luring Serpentwing out was extremely difficult!
Otherwise, the Five Prefectures of the Ji clan wouldn't have been so helpless against Serpentwing. The news of Ning breaking through to the Xiantian level was still a secret, and very few people knew about it. Serpentwing naturally didn't know about it. In Serpentwing's eyes, Ning was most likely still an eleven-year-old youth with extremely powerful movement techniques; he wasn't a threat at all. Even so, Serpentwing was still able to hold back from attacking.
"Hmm?" Ning frowned slightly.
A few heads could be vaguely seen on the surface of the lake in the distance.
"It's a little demon." The greatbow which he had acquired from Zhan appeared out of nowhere in Ning's hands. Four arrows appeared in his hands as well, and he quickly drew the bow and shot.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
The four arrows pierced through the air instantly, scaring those aquatic warriors so much that they wanted to dive down and dodge. But how fast were Ning's arrows? Immediately, screams and howls rang out. A large fish tail even slapped the surface of the water, leaving only a pool of blood. Then, the lesser demons all dove deep into the water.
"Diremonster Serpentwing." "I didn't expect that you, a mighty Diremonster, would be forced to the point where you would only dare to send a few lesser demons out. I truly despise you!"”
"Ji Ning."
A low voice suddenly came from the bottom of the water.
Ning instantly felt delighted. Serpentwing had finally spoken.
"Don't play such despicable tricks. Do you think I don't know that your father and the others are hiding in the vicinity?”A low voice came from the bottom of the water." You're just a Postnatal kid. Why would you come here to die?”
"Hahaha, the day after tomorrow?" Ning laughed loudly, and a layer of hazy light instantly appeared around his body. He then pointed at the surface of the water, causing a sword-light to shoot out from his fingertip and burrow into the depths of the water.”
Bang!
The sword ray drilled into the deep water, causing a huge commotion.
"Huala ~~" A black figure peeked out from several miles away. His eyes were filled with shock."Innate? You're already at the Xiantian Realm?"
"Do you dare to fight?" Ning barked,"If you're worried that there might be an ambush, you can choose any location on the surface of the lake or on any island within the hundred kilometers of Serpentwing Lake! Do you dare to fight me?"
Serpentwing stared at the distant youth on the surface of the water, hesitating.
Even if Yichuan and the others were to set up an ambush, how many places could they set up an ambush?
"You humans are incomparably treacherous. You are a mere youth, yet you have already become a Xiantian lifeform. How can the Ji clan send you to your death? There must be a scheme that I don't know about." The Diremonster Serpentwing instantly sank into the depths of the water. At the same time, he let out a furious roar." If you have the guts to come to the bottom of the water, I'll definitely have a great battle with you. Above the water? I definitely won't fall for it!"
"You're as timid as a mouse!”
Whoosh!
Ning was so angry that he turned and left. He quickly arrived at the island in the middle of Serpentwing Lake, then leapt onto it.
"You're so timid." Ning didn't know what to do. He wasn't so arrogant as to go underwater and fight a peak Xiantian Diremonster.
……
Underwater.
"Great King, Great King, that human youth is on the island.”Several lesser demons came to report.
"He went to the island?" The black-robed man sat down and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Father, Silverlight and the others are on the island.”Suddenly, a snake demon shouted anxiously.
"Silver light?"
The black-robed man was shocked.
He remembered now. Ever since the negotiations between Poisondove Ridge and the Five Prefectures of the Ji clan had ended, he had been carefully staying underwater, not even daring to go to his lair on the island! However, his group of children and some other small demons were not so cautious. They would often go to that island. After all, that island was the real nest in the past.
"How many? How many of my children are on the island?”The black-robed man shouted angrily.
"There should only be Silverglow, but there are hundreds of other lesser demons.”the snake demon reported.
" What?" The black-robed man's expression changed drastically." Send the little demons to inform Silver Glow to come back quickly."”
"Yes."
……
Ning was a human, after all; standing on the surface of the water required him to constantly maintain his mind as one with the world. Thus, Ning directly went to this island to rest for a while.
"This island used to be Serpentwing's lair.”Ning swept the area with his gaze."For more than a thousand years, this was the territory of the demons. Since he couldn't get Serpentwing to come out, he had to take a good look at this island first!”
Ning slowly walked forward.
Every step he took seemed to be like the wind, floating as fast as smoke. He walked around the mud beach of this island. This island had a radius of nearly ten miles, which was not small. There were also some small mountains and rivers on the island.
"Roar!" A distant, millstone-sized, crimson crab was waving its pincers around as it stared at Ning.
"Water race little demon." Ning kicked a rock, sending it flying with a whoosh. With a clang, it struck the Crab Demon's body, causing it to tumble a few times before coming to a halt. Only after Ning had walked quite a distance away did the Crab Demon flip over again, then quickly charge back into the nearby lake.
After all, this was Serpentwing's old nest. Even though Serpentwing wasn't here, there were still quite a few lesser aquatic creatures living on this island. Upon seeing Ning, some of the water-type monsters even wanted to attack him. The weaker monsters were taught a lesson by Ning, but he wouldn't show any mercy to the peak Houtian monsters.
"Hmm?" Ning suddenly saw a massive silver serpent emerge from a distant cavern. Next to the silver serpent were several other aquatic monsters that were several meters tall.
These little demons were all quite big.
Most likely, they were all peak Houtian.
"Sou!" Ning took a single step forward, instantly moving forward.
"Hurry up and leave."
"Let's go."
"That human youth is a Xiantian lifeform.”These peak Houtian lesser demons roared at each other, but none of them attacked Ning. Instead, they scattered in all directions and charged towards the distant lake.
As for Ning, he produced his greatbow and four arrows, then drew the bow and shot.
After shooting four arrows, another four arrows were shot!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Arrows shot out…
In an instant, the biggest ten or so peak Houtian water-kind spirit creatures were killed. On the contrary, some weaker ones managed to escape into the water.
"Ji Ning, you killed another of my sons. I will definitely kill you! I will definitely kill you!”A furious roar came from the depths of the distant lake, causing Ning, who was standing at the entrance of the cave and preparing to enter, to feel quite stunned.
"Kill another one? How many children does this old monster have?"
Ning swept his gaze around him, puzzled. Among the peak Houtian aquatic monsters he had killed with his bow, there were three snake-type monsters. Which one of them was its child? What Ning didn't know was that Serpentwing had originally had a total of ninety-two children. However, as they grew up, they were eaten by other monsters and killed by humans. In the end, only sixteen remained alive.
Ning killed two more.
However, Serpentwing's favorite was still the Scarlet Serpent, which had the blood of a Fiendgod.
"Old monster Serpentwing, all you know how to do is shout. Are there any more of your children in this nest? I'll go in and kill them.”Ning called out, then entered the nest.
……
This lair was where Serpentwing had lived for over a thousand years. It was deep and winding.
Ning held his Darknorth swords in his hands as he advanced.
In the nest, he would often encounter many aquatic beasts. Some of them were ferocious, some were strange, and the moment they saw the human youth, they all wanted to eat him as if they had seen delicious food. Some of the weaker lesser demons were simply sent flying by Ning, and he didn't even bother to care if they were knocked unconscious or killed.
However, Ning was still able to eliminate some peak Houtian aquatic monsters.
"This nest is really deep and unpredictable.”Ning continued to advance deeper and deeper into the cave. Suddenly, within the dark cave, an enormous, blurry beast figure suddenly appeared. It was the vague image of a grizzly's head. This enormous grizzly's head opened its mouth wide and charged towards Ning.
Ning's face changed dramatically.
At the same time, he realized that he could not move at all. He could not advance or retreat.
"This, this…ruins!" This word instantly appeared in Ning's mind.
From the Fiendgod Era to the present, countless powerful existences had appeared in this boundless land. There were countless Immortal estate ruins, Godfiend ruins, and so on. After all, humans were spread all over this land, and there were often people who accidentally entered ancient Godfiend ruins. Some of them could obtain some benefits and rise up.
However, most of them died in Immortal estate ruins and Fiendgod ruins. The books which Ning had read had recorded quite a few famous ancient ruins which had devoured countless lives.
"I actually encountered a ruin. I must come out alive, I must!”Ning's heart was filled with an incomparable desire. He knew that as a Xiantian expert, he wouldn't be able to fight back at all against the ruins left behind by ancient powers and Fiendgods. He could only submit and then think of a way to escape.
The enormous illusory bear head directly swallowed Ning whole.
The shadow dissipated.
Ning vanished as well.
The passageway to Serpentwing's lair was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.
