The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Feng Qingyang sneered.

"Back when I was a gangster, you didn't even know where you were."

If Yang Lianting truly understood him, he would know that he was a reckless and unruly man back then, and he wouldn't have said such a laughable thing.

Seeing that Feng Qingyang was willing to die with Yang Lianting to stop him here, Dongfang Bubai's face darkened.

If he were to make a move now, Feng Qingyang would surely die. However, if Feng Qingyang were to unleash the Dugu Nine Swords at incredible speed before his death, killing Yang Lianting and taking him with him, he might not be able to make it in time.

If Dongfang Bubai didn't care about Yang Lianting's life or death, then naturally he would have nothing to fear.

But that's exactly what he cares about.

"Do you think stopping me will work? Jiang Ning and I will fight sooner or later, and he's already here."

Dongfang Bubai said with a gloomy expression.

According to the information Tong Baixiong provided last time, Jiang Ning should now be leading the righteous path to attack Blackwood Cliff.

"Then let's wait until he arrives."

Feng Qingyang said calmly.

Dongfang Bubai remained silent.

Feng Qingyang also stopped speaking, suppressing his internal injuries while remaining vigilant against Dongfang Bubai's possible attack.

Dongfang Bubai is too fast. If he relaxes his mind even slightly, Dongfang Bubai will find an opportunity.

A moment of silence fell over the room.

Yang Lianting lay on the ground, speechless.

Just when the three people in the room thought the stalemate would continue, footsteps suddenly came from the tunnel.

The three of them immediately looked towards the tunnel, wondering who would be here now.

Before long, a figure appeared in front of the three.

Upon seeing this person, the three people reacted differently.

Yang Lianting looked horrified.

At this moment, Feng Qingyang finally showed a hint of relaxation.

In contrast, Dongfang Bubai showed a completely different expression, instead revealing a look of joy.

"You finally came."

Jiang Ning's gaze swept over the three people in the room. His gaze did not linger on Yang Lianting, but finally landed on Feng Qingyang.

This was the first time he had ever met Feng Qingyang.

"Grand Uncle."

Jiang Ning spoke.

He overheard Feng Qingyang and Dongfang Bubai's conversation while he was in the tunnel.

This was the second time Feng Qingyang had seen Jiang Ning, but the previous time was at Jiang Ning's succession ceremony as sect leader, which he was too far away from. Now, however, he was able to see him up close.

Upon seeing such an outstanding junior, Feng Qingyang's expression softened, and he nodded with a smile, his posture visibly relaxing.

Jiang Ning spoke again.

"Thank you, Grand Uncle."

He had been wondering why Dongfang Bubai hadn't appeared, but it turned out that Feng Qingyang was risking his life to buy them time and hold Dongfang Bubai back.

If Feng Qingyang hadn't stopped Dongfang Bubai here, the righteous side would probably have suffered even greater casualties under Dongfang Bubai's leadership.

Whether it's Jiang Ning or other righteous people, they should indeed thank Feng Qingyang.

"no need to thank me."

Feng Qingyang shook his head.

“If you weren’t so capable, I wouldn’t be here to restrain him.”

"Now that you're here, I'll leave this place to you."

After saying that, Feng Qingyang drew his sword and headed out of the tunnel.

Now the battle is in Jiang Ning's hands. If he stays here, he will only leave Jiang Ning with an opening.

Yang Lianting didn't waste any words, and now he could finally get up.

Yang Lianting did not follow Feng Qingyang out of the tunnel, fearing that he would be caught by Feng Qingyang again, and hurriedly ran into the house.

He was truly terrified of Feng Qingyang.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of being captured and used to threaten Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai remained silent after Jiang Ning arrived, but waited until Feng Qingyang left before looking at Jiang Ning and smiling.

"You arrived even faster than I expected."

Jiang Ning smiled too.

"Today, the winner and loser have been determined."

Dongfang Bubai, his fighting spirit high, continued.

"It's also a matter of life and death."

Chapter 789: Jiang Ning VS Dongfang Bubai

There's not much to say.

One side is the leader of the righteous path, and the other is the leader of the demonic sect. The two sides are inherently irreconcilable, and today's battle will not only determine who is superior but also decide their life or death.

If Jiang Ning wins, the righteous path will completely wipe out the demonic sect; if Dongfang Bubai wins, he will lead the demonic sect to wipe out the righteous path.

Whether the righteous will decline and the demons will rise, or the righteous will prevail and the demons will fall, depends on the outcome of today's battle.

Dongfang Bubai flicked his sleeve and gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand.

Jiang Ning slowly drew his sword from its hilt.

Zheng~

The long sword is unsheathed.

Dongfang Bubai looked at the Zhenwu Sword in Jiang Ning's hand with admiration in his eyes.

"Zhang Sanfeng's sword? It really is a fine sword."

Jiang Ning also looked at Dongfang Bubai's sword. Although he didn't know what kind of sword it was, it was no ordinary sword.

Neither of them made a move at that moment.

After a while.

boom!

With a flick of his sleeve, Dongfang Bubai sent several boulders flying towards Jiangning from a distance.

Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged. He simply raised his hand and spread his palms out, his true energy spreading from his palms and forming a water curtain in the blink of an eye.

The boulder crashed onto the water curtain, creating ripples that spread outwards, and the boulder was also shaken away.

At the same time, police sirens blared behind Jiang Ning.

A flash of sword light appeared, and in the blink of an eye, a sword tip was about to pierce Jiang Ning's nape.

Jiang Ning suddenly turned around, and his protective aura instantly activated.

when!

The sword tip was knocked back, and Dongfang Bubai's figure also retreated.

Dongfang Bubai was not surprised to see this. As he retreated, he had already grasped three embroidery needles in his left hand, infused them with true energy, and shot them out.

The embroidery needle, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, hurtled through the air at incredible speed and instantly pierced Jiang Ning's protective aura.

The embroidery needle pierced the qi like a muddy sea, but it was surprisingly advancing. However, the further it advanced, the slower it gradually became, and finally, it lost its strength and fell to the ground three-tenths of an inch in front of Jiang Ning.

"Such profound internal energy."

Dongfang Bubai's voice rang out from afar, tinged with admiration.

Jiang Ning's protective aura, which he had just unleashed, was over two feet long, almost three feet, which was truly astonishing.

Jiang Ning's expression remained calm, but his eyes were slightly narrowed.

Although the embroidery needle eventually fell in front of him, it nearly broke through his protective aura.

Indeed, only another innate master could break through the protective aura of an innate master.

"Good, you are indeed qualified to be my opponent."

Dongfang Bubai exclaimed in admiration.

He had thought that Jiang Ning, who had come so far ahead of time, was still inferior to him, but to his surprise, after only a few months, Jiang Ning was completely different from when he was at Mount Hua last year, and was already worth his full effort.

Jiang Ning was silent.

He didn't have the habit of speaking during battle.

Dongfang Bubai had no intention of listening to him. The moment he finished speaking, Dongfang Bubai's figure suddenly exploded, turning into nine scarlet afterimages.

After the earlier probing, Dongfang Bubai was clearly using his true abilities.

Jiang Ning glanced left and right, and without hesitation, he opened his mouth and let out a fierce roar. He immediately unleashed the Ghost Domain Yin Wind Roar, and its sound was as sharp as a knife. In an instant, the nine scarlet figures paused for a moment. Jiang Ning seized the opening and stabbed at one of the figures.

The tip of the Zhenwu Sword pierced into Dongfang Bubai's body, but no blood flowed out. Dongfang Bubai in front of Jiang Ning slowly dissipated.

hiss!

A piercing shriek came from behind, and Jiang Ning instinctively drew his sword to block it.

when!

The two swords clashed, producing a piercing shriek.

Dongfang Bubai drew his sword, and sparks immediately flew from the friction of the blade.

Jiang Ning then turned around and chased after him to engage in battle.

when!when!when!

In an instant, sword shadows appeared one after another, and in just a moment, the two had exchanged nearly a thousand blows.

call out!

Jiang Ning swept his sword horizontally, and a sword aura was unleashed. Dongfang Bubai did not move, but the sword aura passed through his body and exploded on the artificial mountain behind him. With a loud bang, the artificial mountain instantly exploded, and countless fragments of stone flew everywhere.

The figure where Dongfang Bubai had just stood had slowly dissipated, clearly just another afterimage.

"Great! That's satisfying!"

From another high place came the voice of Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai stood on the artificial hill, a hint of excitement on his face.

This is the final showdown he's been waiting for.

Suddenly, a blood-red mist dissipated from Dongfang Bubai's body, rising into the sky and condensing into a red lotus.

The thousand moves he had just exchanged were merely a warm-up; now, his blood and energy were fully mobilized, and his body had reached its peak.

On the other hand, Jiang Ning, who was far away, did not speak, but white mist rose around him and slowly drifted above him, forming a phantom image.

And this illusory figure was none other than Jiang Ning himself.

Jiang Ning didn't speak, but his obsidian-like eyes were incredibly piercing.

At this moment, Jiang Ning also felt his body boiling; this was a peak state.

He has never had such an evenly matched battle since his debut. In the past, even in life-or-death situations, he was always surrounded and killed. No one has ever been able to fight him to this extent.

Jiang Ning is also looking forward to this epic showdown.

After warming up, both sides are about to engage in a fierce battle.
