048 Snatching Birds and Running Away

"I'm going to kill you!"

Amidst the billowing dust, the slender Liu Jingyou helped the corpse of the black-feathered eagle to its feet.

A fierce killing intent was about to burst forth from his dark eyes.

Ning Kui sneered. A ranged archer had fallen into his melee range. What was there to be arrogant about?

He rushed towards Liu Jingyou, erecting ice walls behind him to keep Song Ehu out.

In terms of absolute strength, he was already inferior to Song Ehu, and with an archer who could hit the bullseye every time harassing him, how could he possibly fight?

He wanted to kill Liu Jingyou first.

When Liu Jingyou saw Ning Kui heading straight for him, he instinctively tried to back away.

Only when his body leaned back and his feet remained motionless did he realize with horror that his legs had been frozen to the ground by the ice.

"Senior brother, save me!"

Liu Jingyou cried out in panic. He was not good at close combat, and with his feet frozen, he couldn't even use his light footwork to dodge.

"boom!"

"boom!"

His response was the sound of ice walls exploding one after another, and Song Ehu's furious roar: "Damn it, how come there are so many walls!"

"Stop struggling, just die!"

Ning Kui leaped high into the air, and his Dragon Scale Halberd slashed fiercely down at Liu Jingyou's head.

"when!"

Blood gushed out, flesh rolled back, and the Dragon Scale Halberd was embedded in Liu Jingyou's golden skull, only about half an inch deep.

This pretty boy is even tougher than Chang Wei, the bandit leader!

Blood slid down Liu Jingyou's forehead, and his expression of despair turned into ecstatic joy.

"Haha, you can't kill me! You're only at the Flesh Refining Realm, and your strength is still just brute force, not yet transformed into罡劲 (罡劲 is a type of internal energy)!"

You can't break through my golden bone defense!"

Liu Jingyou calmed down from the panic of close combat, drew her arrow and shot it at Ning Kui.

The barrage of arrows forced Ning Kui to retreat continuously, gradually increasing the distance between them.

Song Ehu finally broke through the last ice wall, even managing to cut a slit in his tiger-headed broadsword.

He walked over to Liu Jingyou, who had struggled out of the ice, and spat, saying, "Junior brother, it seems we'll have to seriously join forces."

This kid's cultivation level isn't high, but his methods are quite varied.

"Same as always, you take the lead, I'll provide support."

Liu Jingyou touched the large gash on his scalp and glared venomously at Ning Kui: "But this kid is a bit strange. My Demon Eyes can't see his weaknesses."

It was as if his appearance was flawless.

I really don't know how he cultivated to the Skin Refining Realm.

They were merely disciples of the Yuan family's guest elders and were unaware of the special realm of "Qi and Blood Condensing Immortal Robes." They assumed that Ning Kui's Skin Refining Realm had reached the Great Perfection realm, a level attainable only by young masters from aristocratic families.

Otherwise, they should have paid more attention to Ning Kui.

"This is a real headache. Refining Bone Realm is tough enough as it is, and now two Golden Bone Realm cultivators have suddenly appeared..."

Ning Kui covered his forehead and sighed repeatedly: "We still have to separate them and defeat them one by one."

No, killing that archer will suffice; his clumsy swordsmanship left me with no way to defend myself.

As he pondered, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the other side of the Xuanbing Domain.

There was also a black eagle with its claws frozen, flapping its wings, trying to return to the sky.

"Fire Tiger!!!"

From afar, Song Ehu raised his broadsword high, his boiling blood and qi clinging to the blade like blazing flames, burning fiercely.

Liu Jingyou drew the bowstring taut, quietly waiting for Ning Kui to reveal a weakness.

"Heh, so they're going to launch a long-range attack..."

He raised one hand high, and an ice ball that kept getting bigger and bigger kept freezing.

To Song Ehu and Liu Jingyou's astonishment, Ning Kui threw an ice ball the size of a house at them.

A huge shadow loomed over, and an intense sense of oppression washed over us.

Song Ehu quickly slashed his fiery tiger sword towards the sky. The huge fiery tiger roared and crashed into the ice ball, shattering it into pieces, which then evaporated into water vapor under the high temperature.

"Damn it, I've fallen for that kid's trick again!"

Song Ehu saw Ning Kui's figure disappear into the mist, and he was torn between chasing him and not chasing him!

"Senior brother, hurry and chase after them! I'll be careful!"

Liu Jingyou quickly said that if the two of them were to bind themselves in this enclosed space, it would be ridiculous if Ning Kui were to run away brazenly.

As Song Ehu charged into the mist with his sword, Liu Jingyou aimed her bow and arrow at the direction of the Black Feathered Eagle from her memory.

An arrow was shot!

"Once you kill the Black Feathered Eagle, you will have no chance of escaping my arrows!"

He would rather walk back to Yugu County himself than give Ning Kui the opportunity to escape.

The arrow was shot out, and the hum of the bowstring echoed through the mist.

Liu Jingyou hurriedly changed positions, but after taking only two steps, two golden balls streaked past her previous location at high speed.

"Ha, how naive! How could I be so careless?"

Liu Jingyou nocked the arrow again, quickly calculating the direction and speed of the golden ball's flight in his mind, and determined Ning Kui's approximate location.

"Wait! The Golden Ball?"

A sudden inspiration struck Liu Jingyou.

Unlike the "Death Arrow" practiced by the guest retainers, the superior cultivation technique "Flying Star Technique" practiced by the Yuan family has the function of automatically tracking enemies.

That golden ball? Is it the young master's magical artifact?

No, the Flying Star Technique is a secret of the Yuan family. That kid couldn't possibly know it, could he?

In a flash, Liu Jingyou thought of many things.

The next second, a tremendous impact came from the back of his head.

Ning Kui naturally didn't know the "Flying Star Technique," but what he did know was the advanced divine power of the "Flying Star Technique"!

"puff!"

Liu Jingyou spat out a mouthful of blood. The golden ball was a magical artifact; it looked small, but it actually weighed over a thousand pounds!

The impact of throwing it with the force of tens of thousands of kilograms is terrifying.

Liu Jingyou staggered forward, his head a bloody mess, his skull shattered.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered in the end.

He almost fainted just now.

However, the second golden ball quickly broke through the fog and slammed into the back of his head.

The golden sphere is covered with blood-red patterns, which are the result of Ning Kui pouring all his power into it after unleashing his [Gluttony] supernatural power.

Is he mocking him for not yet having developed his full strength?

Lao Tzu has a magical artifact in hand; as long as there is a large enough quantity, it can be activated!

Buddhist implements are not picky eaters!

A look of astonishment and deep confusion flashed in Liu Jingyou's eyes.

He didn't understand how Ning Kui knew the "Flying Star Technique".

Fortunately, he no longer needs to think about it. Life is tiring; he should rest in peace.

"boom!!!"

A massive explosion shot into the sky, and the powerful shockwave dispersed all the dense fog within the Xuanbing Domain.

Song Ehu raised his sword to block, but was still forced back by the shockwave.

When the storm subsided, he saw the scene before him and couldn't help but turn his eyes red.

Even the burly man with a fierce face cried out.

"Junior brother!!!"

All that could be seen was that Liu Jingyou's entire body of flesh and blood had been evaporated, leaving only a golden skeleton kneeling on the ground, still standing firm.

Song Ehu's killing intent surged uncontrollably. It was true that he and Liu Jingyou had always been rivals, but they were also fellow disciples who had grown up together since childhood.

He can frame Liu Jingyou, but not others!

Song Ehu, carrying the tiger-headed saber, showed signs of improvement in his fully-developed "Tiger Demon Saber" technique!

However, when he turned around, he only saw Ning Kui riding a black-feathered eagle soaring into the sky.

On the bird's back, Ning Kui gave him a thumbs-up, then flipped it down.

Ha, you brute.
