Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 316 Betraying the Mentor and Ancestors, Yuan Yurong!

A blade of Sword Qi stretched over a hundred feet, tearing through the void and splitting the heavens. Yet, at the very end of this immense power, someone was casually using its tip to peel a fruit, completely calm and composed. The scene was absolutely stunning!

CRACK!

The crisp sound snapped the stupefied creatures back to their senses.

The bipeds looked at Ning Xuan munching on fruit, then at the red-faced old pig, and began to question their very existence as beasts. This is fucking insane!

"Aaaargh! Ning Xuan! I'm going to kill you!"

The old pig, who had never suffered such humiliation, now had only one thought in his mind: to tear Ning Xuan into a thousand pieces. This vile human is too damn hateful!

"Stop embarrassing your pig face! Can you even kill him?" Because of the shocking scene, Ren Jie had not only escaped the siege but had also turned the tables and killed the bipeds who attacked him. Feeling ever more impressed with his own shrewdness, he naturally took the opportunity to mock his foe.

BOOM!

The void trembled as if about to collapse. The unmatched Sword Qi was growing even thicker. The old pig could clearly sense the sword in his grasp striving. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The faint doubt I had is long gone, he thought. This sword has nothing to do with that despicable human! I just don't know why it can't seem to affect that guy.

Now, the sword was trying very hard. Since the sword was giving its all, the old pig naturally wouldn't hold back. He channeled his full power, using all his essence, energy, and spirit! The beast and the sword combined their might, unleashing a boundless power that the heavens and earth seemed unable to bear.

Finally, their efforts paid off.

The terrifying Sword Qi pressed down on the void, inching closer to the top of Ning Xuan's head! The old pig saw a glimmer of hope, but the toll on him was immense.

"Come on, you can do it!"

A voice of encouragement rang out. The old pig's spirits lifted.

Then, when he realized the one encouraging him was Ning Xuan himself…

BANG!

The unmatched Sword Qi shattered.

"Waaah..."

After a moment of shock, the old pig slumped onto his rear, threw the Cloud Floating Sword from his claws, and began to wail. This guy is a real piece of work! Such a bully! No, wait! I'm not a person! I'm a pig from the Tianyang Realm!

Having accepted his own identity, the old pig cried even more sorrowfully. To bully even a beast... this guy isn't just a piece of work, he's... he's...

Unable to find the words, the old pig caught sight of the other creatures' gazes and fell into despair. He actually picked up the Cloud Floating Sword and slit his own throat!

The bipeds were dumbfounded. He committed suicide?

Especially those who knew the old pig well were completely numb. When did he become so fragile? His hide was famously as thick as a city wall!

"Uh, what's wrong with him? I didn't even do anything. Why would he take it so hard?" Ning Xuan's voice rang out as he looked at the three women in bewilderment.

The corners of their mouths twitched, and they couldn't help but feel a flicker of sympathy for the old pig. That beast was truly pitiful!

"What are you doing?!" an angry shout erupted.

BOOM!

Ren Jie vanished and reappeared beside the old pig's corpse, sending a biped that had its eyes on the sword flying. Ren Jie glanced at the sword nearby, puzzled. I thought this sword belonged to Ning Xuan, but now it seems that's not the case?

Just as he was pondering, the blade, unstained by blood, suddenly let out a mournful cry.

Then…

WHOOSH!

It tore through the void and vanished from sight.

Snapping back to his senses, Ren Jie was overcome with regret. If I had offered that sword to the Young Master, my chances would have definitely improved!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. SMACK! He raised his hand and slapped himself across the face.

The bipeds that had been planning to attack him froze in their tracks. That place must be poisoned! Otherwise, why would the old pig commit suicide? Why would Ren Jie harm himself?! In fact, this entire area must be poisoned! That's it! There's no other explanation for what just happened!

The bipeds exchanged glances and then began to retreat. Before long, only Ning Xuan and his companions were left.

THUMP!

Ren Jie fell to his knees again.

"Young..." He had barely gotten the word out.

"Get lost!" Ning Xuan said indifferently.

"On it!" Before the words even faded, Ren Jie was gone.

Zhongli Ruoruo asked with some confusion, "Hey, Young Master. Why was he so obedient this time?"

Yuan Yurong immediately interjected, "Because he would have died if he didn't leave. Can't you see something so obvious?"

Zhongli Ruoruo was not one to be trifled with. She rolled her eyes at Yuan Yurong and retorted, "Of course I knew that! This is called romantic banter! Do you even understand what that is? Forget it, I'm not talking to you. A greenhorn like you, who doesn't even know what kissing feels like, wouldn't get it."

CRITICAL HIT! Yuan Yurong was left speechless.

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere," Ning Xuan said, pretending he hadn't heard as he stood up to leave.

The three women hurriedly followed. Zhongli Ruoruo quickened her pace and linked her arm through Ning Xuan's.

This time, Yuan Yurong didn't copy her. Instead, she fell behind and used her limited Element Force to send a telepathic message to Yuan Xueying, "Master, what does kissing feel like?"

"You brat, are you looking to die?! How would I know!" Yuan Xueying wished she could rip her disciple's mouth off.

Yuan Yurong continued to court death, feigning surprise. "You're so old, yet you don't even know what kissing feels like?"

"Yuan! Yu! Rong!" Yuan Xueying's delicate body tensed, her chest heaving as she nearly ground her silver teeth to dust.

Sensing that things were going south, Yuan Yurong quickly grabbed Yuan Xueying's arm and began to beg for mercy. "Master, don't be angry. I was wrong, okay?"

Yuan Xueying took a deep breath and warned, "You are forbidden from asking that question ever again, understand?!"

"Mhm. By the way, Master, do you know what romantic banter is?"

SMACK!

A crisp slap echoed as Yuan Xueying's furious roar shook the heavens and the earth. "Yuan Yurong, I'm going to kill you!"

Watching Yuan Yurong scamper off, Zhongli Ruoruo immediately started to complain, "Young Master, she's so shameless, putting her hand on… in front of you..."

Ning Xuan cut her off. "Do you know where I'm taking you?"

Zhongli Ruoruo shook her head.

"I learned from my chat with the old pig that all the Divine Crystals from Tuifan City are dumped in one place. It should be an ideal location for cultivation."

Zhongli Ruoruo's beautiful eyes lit up. Glancing at the master and disciple who had stopped ahead, she quickly declared, "Don't worry, Young Master. Even when I recover my strength, I won't bully them."

"What did you just say?" Unexpectedly, Yuan Xueying, who was up ahead, had overheard most of it and couldn't hold back any longer. "The Saintess of the Yin Yang Sect, how very impressive! I'd teach you a lesson if only my strength wasn't sealed!"

Unable to take her anger out on her own disciple, and with her temper still simmering, Yuan Xueying naturally turned Zhongli Ruoruo into her verbal punching bag.

"Young Master, could you please help her recover a bit faster? I'm curious to see how she plans to bully me," Zhongli Ruoruo said, not to Yuan Xueying, but to Ning Xuan.

"Um, Auntie Xueying, you..."

Yuan Xueying exploded at the name. "Aun... Auntie?! Back when you licked… my hand, you treated me like your... mmmph!"

Good heavens. In an outrageous act of insubordination, Yuan Yurong clapped a hand over her master's mouth. What a sinful disciple
