Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 355: Senior, your speed and reaction time are too fast!

"You two, the old lion is cunning and has schemed against all of us! Please, take charge and stop Ning Xuan!" Glancing at the old leopard who was steadily losing ground, the remaining venerable immediately sought help from the two disciples of the Great Saints. He was certain the old leopard's death was inevitable! And once the old leopard died, he would be next! The Cultivation Technique he practiced had surely already been revealed to Ning Xuan by the old lion. To be honest, he really had no chance of winning. Even though Ning Xuan has only just entered the Venerable Realm, the old lion is extremely powerful and must have long since told Ning Xuan how to deal with him!

Unexpectedly, rather than getting their support, he was chewed out.

"You are a venerable who has been immersed in the Venerable Realm for over a thousand years! And now you don't even have the courage to face a young man from the Human Race in battle? Your presence here is a disgrace!"

"Hah, you worthless cur! You actually have the gall to ask for help?! Do you even realize where we are?!"

Both disciples of the Great Saints sneered, wishing they could slap him to death. The venerable's eyes narrowed. He was about to speak but forced himself to hold back, because Ning Xuan had already locked onto him!

Taking a deep breath, he faced Ning Xuan squarely, his eyes devoid of sadness or joy. They were right to criticize me. I am a being who has cultivated in the Venerable Realm for over a thousand years. It doesn't matter if this boy's status as a venerable was achieved through shortcuts; even against a true venerable who has cultivated step-by-step, I should have the power to crush him!

"No need to draw lots, come on! I'll show you what a real venerable is!" he roared, pointing at Ning Xuan and beckoning with his finger.

At that instant, a ferocious aura burst forth from him, like an ancient beast awakening! Gang Wind swirled around him, its wail like the shriek of ghosts and the howl of wolves. From within his body, the roar of thunder boomed!

The two disciples of the Great Saints couldn't help but nod in approval. Unyielding pride, an aura that pierces the heavens! This is what a venerable should be!

Just as the two disciples were anticipating a spectacular showdown...

PFFT!

The head of the venerable who had just charged forward was already flying through the air!

"You don't fight fair—"

Before he could finish his sentence, both his head and body were torn to shreds by the terrifying Gang Wind.

The disciples of the Great Saint stared in astonishment as the Energy Sword vanished from Ning Xuan's hand.

"All this energy was painstakingly gathered; can't let it go to waste," Ning Xuan said with a shy smile.

The corners of both disciples' mouths twitched. Painstakingly gathered so it can't go to waste? What a load of crap! That's not just killing him, it's crushing his spirit! Thank goodness this is the Chaos Boundary Sea. The guy was shredded by the Gang Wind in an instant. Otherwise, if he had heard that, he truly would have died with a grievance!

Meanwhile, the old lion was equally astonished. He hadn't expected Ning Xuan to act this way either. This fellow isn't some rigid fool. I need to be careful not to capsize in a calm gutter!

As he came back to his senses, the old lion grew secretly vigilant. He was also secretly relieved that he had made arrangements in advance. If Ning Xuan had heard about his Cultivation Technique from other creatures, then…

No! The old lion suddenly remembered that the Cultivation Technique he practiced was closely connected to the Dharma he had just taught Ning Xuan. He felt the urge to slap himself but quickly calmed down. I myself meditated on that Dharma for an age, yet only grasped the barest surface. Even the most monstrous genius couldn't possibly have made such astounding gains in so short a time!

Assured of this, he spoke to Ning Xuan. "It's been a very long time since I've seen a Human Race prodigy as talented as you! When you've rested and recovered, I'll test your skills."

As the old lion spoke, Ning Xuan, who had unsealed his Six Senses, shook his head and smiled. "No need. My confidence is soaring right now, and my momentum is at its peak. I'd like to act now."

The old lion's face darkened. "Are you sure?!"

This fellow is out of my control. And for some reason, the look in his eyes is even making my heart palpitate. Seeing Ning Xuan nod, the old lion took a deep breath, not daring to be the least bit careless. Better safe than sorry!

"Come, let me see how much strength you, a newly ascended venerable, truly possess." The old lion stood still as a mountain, his blazing gaze locked on Ning Xuan.

The next moment, his heart seized, and his figure vanished from the spot.

Still, he was a step too slow.

PFFT!

The old lion, having already sidestepped several meters, clutched the wound on his left arm, his expression terrifyingly grim. He was utterly horrified. This guy's speed is insane! And his strikes are incredibly vicious! If I had been any slower just now, it wouldn't have been my left arm that was injured; my heart would have been pierced through! Damn it! Isn't he just a newly ascended venerable? How can he have such speed and battle power?!

The old lion regretted it. We've all been tricked by this seemingly harmless little brat!

What was most infuriating was that the little brat was frowning, saying with a look of feigned exasperation, "Senior, your speed and reflexes are incredible! I had to use my full strength just to leave a scratch!"

The old lion almost spat blood in anger. Damn it! If you don't know how to talk, then shut your mouth! I'm at the Ninth Layer Heavens of the Venerable Realm, for crying out loud! You just entered this realm! You injure me in a single strike and you're still not satisfied? Complaining that my reflexes and speed are too fast? Fast my ass!

"Senior… be careful!"

The old lion suddenly heard Ning Xuan's voice again. The moment he looked up, he lost sight of Ning Xuan's figure. A furious roar shook the wilderness as a terrifying kingly aura surged to the sky from his body, threatening to suppress the Eight Desolates and Six Directions. Ning Xuan's previous strike had proven his prowess, so the old lion dared not be careless.

However...

PFFT!

A stream of Sword Qi tore through the barrier he had erected and pierced his body. The old lion reacted in an instant, chopping down with his palm to shatter Ning Xuan's Energy Sword while simultaneously clamping his hands over the entry and exit wounds. If he hadn't, the terrifying, omnipresent Gang Wind would have torn him to pieces in an instant!

"How… How is this possible?!" the old lion looked at Ning Xuan, his face a mask of horror and his eyes filled with disbelief.

Ning Xuan's sword had struck the absolute weakest point in his defenses! It was his only vulnerable spot! Let alone someone who had just entered the Venerable Realm, even an opponent of the same realm absolutely could not have detected such a tiny weakness in such a short amount of time!

Subconsciously, he glanced toward the two Great Saint disciples. They were the only two who could possibly have known my weakness! But both of them were also staring in shock, which immediately ruled them out as suspects in the old lion's mind.

"Did you comprehend that Dharma?!" The old lion's gaze returned to Ning Xuan, his mind trembling with utter shock. If that were the case, wouldn't that be far too terrifying!

"Comprehend the Dharma? But Senior, you just told me everything you've comprehended via a mental message. I thought you were tricking me, but I didn't expect that it really was your weak spot. My apologies, I shouldn't have doubted you," Ning Xuan said with feigned astonishment, scratching his head with an apologetic expression as he finished. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"When the hell did I tell you—" the old lion began to say, shaking with rage.

Before he could finish, Ning Xuan cut him off, "But you did. You said…" He then proceeded to detail everything the old lion had told him earlier about the other venerables. The old lion tried several times to interrupt but failed.

His lungs nearly exploded with rage. I was trying to refute his claim about my weak spot! He's doing this on purpose! This little brat is absolutely doing this on purpose!
