Chapter 294: Chapter 292 Nie Qinghe, Do You Realize Your Mistake?

Chapter 294 -292 Nie Qinghe, Do You Realize Your Mistake?

Dragon Martial Mountain, atop the back mountain, inside a small rundown hut.

A small bamboo-made table is packed with steaming delicious dishes, and a fire burns beside it. Nie Shentong, holding a wine gourd, feasts on meat and drinks joyfully.

It appears these juniors are considerate, sending food to him, the lonely old man, on this eve of the Lunar New Year.

“Hm?”

Midway through his drink, Nie Shentong suddenly frowns, his gaze shifting to the distance. The uninhibited sweep of the Baodan Realm Martial Artist’s Qi mechanism allows him to see a slightly slender figure in green clothes.

The boy really did come, and he didn’t conceal his presence. His Blood Qi is indeed much more vigorous than the last time they met.

“Thrilling!”

Nie Shentong bites off a hearty chunk of lamb leg, downs a gulp of wine, then places his meal aside and drifts out the door.

Having eaten his fill and now to engage in a hearty battle, what more could one ask for in life!

…

In the open space outside of Steles Forest, Ning Daoran stands amidst the wind and snow, his aura as steady as a pine in the storm, forcing Nie Shentong to take a second look in admiration.

“Fellow Daoist Jianjia, has your Divine Skill reached Great Success?” Nie Shentong reveals a mocking smile.

“I’ve made some gains.”

Ning Daoran lifts the Azure Dragon Spear from his Storage Bag, smiles, and says, “Is Fellow Daoist Nie ready? If so, let’s begin.”

“Just what I wanted!”

Nie Shentong shouts, and as his breath ebbs and flows, the Dragon Demon Realm rises behind him, his vibrant Blood Qi almost halting the nearby wind and snow, creating a Domain Field of its own.

Ning Daoran frowns; this old man’s Dragon Demon Heart Scripture is complete, indeed much more formidable than his own!

But he has no reason to be cowardly. Although it’s just a martial duel, with the Eternal Green Technique as his foundation and a Third-tier Magical Treasure heavy weapon in hand, he might not surely lose to Nie Shentong.

“Come!”

Ning Daoran shouts, and instantly, his Blood Qi boils, with fiery red realms ascending behind him, coalescing into a slowly rising head of the Dragon Demon Realm. Suddenly, the surrounding wind and snow retreat, and the Domain Field becomes fiery hot!

“You…”

Nie Shentong exclaims, “The Dragon Demon Heart Scripture? How did you obtain it?”

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to pry. Let’s talk after the fight!”

“Be it so!”

The next moment, the Azure Dragon Spear plummets from the sky, carrying with it a flash of Spear Radiance that strikes fiercely at Nie Shentong’s head, causing heaven and earth to change colors. Even with prior prohibitions set by Ning Daoran, disciples in Dragon Martial Mountain might still feel the tremors from beneath the ground.

Nie Shentong laughs heartily, taking up his fighting stance, and throws a punch towards the sky.

Instantaneously, Spear Radiance collides with Fist Mastery, and the clashing Martial Artist Gang Qi shatters unceasingly, as if tearing through the storm.

A heavy power transfers from the Azure Dragon Spear into Ning Daoran’s palm, the vibrating force at his hand making him acutely aware of the terrible power of a Late-stage Baodan Realm Martial Artist when clashing with mere physical strength.

Nie Shentong also takes two steps back, feeling a burning sensation on his fist.

“Again!”

This Martial Artist’s fighting spirit soars as he launches an offensive.

Ning Daoran wields the Azure Dragon Spear, weaving seamless Spear Radiance in the clearing, dissolving the other’s Fist Mastery and finding opportunities for swift counterattacks. The two trade blows in a balanced fight.

Branches shattered by Spear Radiance and Fist Mastery roll about, the nearby currents become increasingly chaotic, and Dragon Roar echoes, yielding no winner in a short period.

Breaking the moves of one’s own disciple is hard indeed!

“Fellow Daoist Jianjia.”

Nie Shentong continues his fierce attack while sending a message, “If I guess correctly, the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture you’re using was taken from a disciple of my Dragon Martial Mountain’s Inner Sect, no? A few months ago, an Inner Sect disciple perished within the mountains. Could it have been your doing?”

“Don’t sling mud without cause, Fellow Daoist.”

Ning Daoran responds, “If I truly wished to kill your Dragon Martial Mountain disciples, I would’ve owned up to it if I did.”

“That makes sense.”

Nie Shentong laughs, “But the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture you’re using is incomplete; you only have the first half and lack the latter mental method. Therefore, the Dragon Demon True Power you exhibit is far from its peak. And if nothing else, you’ve only cultivated the scripture to the Seventh Layer, have you not?”

“That’s correct. So what?”

“So nothing.”

Nie Shentong says, “Using a Seventh Layer incomplete Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, you’ll find it exceedingly difficult to defeat me. Your advantage lies in youth and sustained vitality, with a strong foundation of the Golden Core Stage. Moreover, the heavy weapon in your hand is at least of a Third-tier Magical Treasure. You hold the upper hand in weapons and foundation.

However, you have bitten off more than you can chew; with merely these advantages, it is improbable that you’ll beat me. I may be aged and my Blood Qi weakened, but suppressing you with martial skill is no big issue.”

What he says is the truth, a half Dragon Demon Heart Scripture is incomparable to the full, greatly affecting combat effectiveness.

“Fellow Daoist, your words cut to the heart of the matter, each as valuable as gold.”

Ning Daoran channels the Silver Dragon Spear Technique, transitioning smoothly between offense and defense with an ethereal movement technique, and while communicating, he laughs, “That’s precisely why I seek the complete Dragon Demon Heart Scripture. Fellow Daoist might as well be generous and make a copy of the mental method. It could form a good karma between us. If you end up defeated by me and have the scripture forcibly taken, the outcome would indeed be ungracious.”

“Hahaha~~~”

Nie Shentong laughs raucously, “Fellow Daoist’s wishful thinking rings so loud, how could I fall for it? If you want the complete Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, defeat me first!”

The old fellow is truly stubborn!

But indeed Nie Shentong is strong; had he been younger, his fighting prowess would likely surpass Long Zhuojun’s. Most late-stage Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t necessarily be his match, and even the Soul-Devouring Demon, at Nie Shentong’s peak, would probably suffer a loss.

Thus, the great battle continued for nearly half an hour.

After three hundred rounds of fierce fighting, Nie Shentong switched his breathing and unleashed the full power of the Eighth Layer of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture. Ning Daoran finally could not defend himself and was struck in the chest by Nie Shentong’s fist in a moment of astonishment!

“Peng!”

A strand of bright python scale brilliance emerged, which turned out to be the Magic Treasure Level inner armor, Python Scale Armor!

“Hmm?”

Nie Shentong slightly shivered, his full-powered punch felt as if it had hit an iron wall, not moving the armor one bit!

That Treasure armor was mostly a Third-tier one, a true treasure!

With his fighting spirit too fervent, Nie Shentong failed to hold back his momentum, his figure swiftly passing through the whistling wind, landing another heavy punch aimed at Ning Daoran’s head!

In a Martial Artist showdown, it’s often a fight to the death. Once bloodlust takes over, it’s hard to stop the punches and kicks!

However, at the moment Nie Shentong’s fist was still more than a foot away from Ning Daoran, a section of tender golden Flying Sword suddenly appeared in the air, humming loudly, and pointed straight at the opponent’s forehead.

“Swish!”

Nie Shentong instantly retracted his hands and feet.

Ning Daoran couldn’t help but sneer, though he was at a disadvantage in the exchange of punches and kicks, in a Fight Technique battle… killing him, Nie Shentong, was indeed not too difficult. After all, after fighting for so long, although he was slightly weary, it was just physical tiredness. His Mana was still completely full. To take out a Magical Treasure and kill Nie Shentong would be a piece of cake.

“Haha…”

Nie Shentong revealed an awkward expression.

“Hmph!”

Ning Daoran smiled faintly, “Today I admit defeat, but it’s okay, I will come again, and next time I will be stronger. Please, Fellow Taoist Nie, wait in anticipation.”

“This old man will be waiting for you!”

Nie Shentong stood in the snow with his hands behind his back, presenting the demeanor of a higher senior.

When Ning Daoran turned to leave.

Nie Shentong returned to the mountain summit cabin, shut the door, and then clenched his fists lightly. After more than three hundred rounds of hard fighting, his Blood Qi was greatly depleted; continuing the battle would have significantly reduced his combat power.

Fortunately, that Independent Practitioner Jianjia’s Dragon Demon Heart Scripture was only half-complete. If it were the complete version, it’s questionable whether he, at the Seventh Layer, would have been at a disadvantage against the opponent’s Eighth Layer.

“Wait a second…”

Nie Shentong suddenly had a cold look in his eyes, “How could he have cultivated the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture to the Seventh Layer within a year? Could it be… that this person had already been cultivating the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture?”

“It must be so, otherwise it’s impossible…”

His gaze became more resolute.

“Uncle Master.”

Soon after, a familiar voice came from outside.

Nie Qinghe, the current Sect Leader of Dragon Martial Mountain, stood outside in the snow, holding wine and roast chicken, laughing, “Today is the Little New Year, I’ve come to have a couple of drinks with Uncle Master.”

“Come in.”

Nie Shentong continued to drink, downing one cup after another, but as he looked at the humble attitude of the Sect Leader in front of him, he grew more and more dissatisfied and couldn’t help but ask, “Qing He, to what layer have you cultivated your Dragon Demon Heart Scripture?”

“The Sixth Layer.”

Nie Qinghe was surprised, “Didn’t Uncle Master already know this? Why ask something you already know? The Dragon Demon Heart Scripture is so difficult to cultivate. I’ve only recently reached the Sixth Layer less than two years ago. As for the Seventh Layer, it would take at least a decade.”

For a moment, Nie Shentong found him even more irksome.

“Qing He!”

He slammed his cup heavily onto the table, “Do you realize your mistake? Kneel down!”

“Plop…”

The Sect Leader of Dragon Martial Mountain knelt down bewildered.

…

Late Night.

Ji City, a small courtyard.

Ning Daoran crossed his legs and watched the snow outside the window, pondering over matters.

“Old Lu, just sitting around like this makes us feel idle. Should we start some business venture to make some money?”

“Ao ao??”

Big Stupid Deer’s eyes widened, thinking that starting a business and making money were great ideas!

Ning Daoran frowned slightly, “Ji City leans on Dragon Martial Mountain, with a strong martial arts culture. There are at least hundreds of dojos in the city, and the number of Martial Artists is immense, but there are not many Pill Masters. Many pharmacies seem to have more demand than supply. How about this: we rent a shop to open a pharmacy. I’ll get the Paperfolk to make Elixir Pills. We’ll produce First-tier and Second-rank Elixir Pills like the Blood Strengthening Pill, Blood Melting Pill, and Red Blood Pill, which are in high demand. We can work on a small margin but high volume, and earn a hefty sum, how does that sound?”

Big Stupid Deer immediately stood up, bellowing in agreement that Big Brother indeed had a good business mind.

“Then it’s settled!”

Ning Daoran patted the deer’s head, “You’ll be the Shopkeeper of the pharmacy!”

He looked over to Chi Susu who was bustling about, “Susu, you’ll work as an assistant in the pharmacy, helping to sell the medicines. When business picks up, I’ll give you a commission. Also, once the pharmacy is up and running, we’ll move in there.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Chi Susu naturally had no objections, delighted by the prospect of earning money alongside her young master.
