Chapter 1732: Chapter 1589: Ning Man’er’s Killing Intent!
“Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo~~~~~~”
The Little Hiding Dragon was flapping its wings as it descended from the sky, landing on the edge of the city walls beside Ning Man’er and the Dark Emperor.
The Dark Emperor’s figure began to tilt, slowly leaning toward the shadow cast by the Little Hiding Dragon.
The shadow stretched and transformed, gradually merging the Dark Emperor’s body with the Little Hiding Dragon’s shadow.
After the convergence, the Little Hiding Dragon’s shadow seemed to come alive, unexpectedly stepping off the wall, transforming into a fully gray-black, semi-transparent Ghost Sting Dragon.
The ghostly blue Little Hiding Dragon stood to Ning Man’er’s right, while the Dragon formed by the Dark Emperor took position on her left. Both dragons radiated high-grade immortal-level auras, one wild and raging, the other cold and dark!
The existence of the Dark Emperor was peculiarly unique, making it somewhat forced to classify it purely as a dark creature. This was because the Dark Emperor also possessed certain ghostly attributes.
The Dark Emperor’s shadow manipulation required a powerful host, and it had remained dormant for a long while precisely because it lacked an appropriate host.
Directly manipulating Ning Tianyou’s Life Blood Beast would undoubtedly be noticed by Ning Tianyou.
Now, with the arrival of the Little Hiding Dragon possessing high-grade immortal-level strength,
The Dark Emperor, whose own tier was equally formidable, not only could transform into the Little Hiding Dragon but also replicate all of its abilities. This meant that Ning Man’er now had two high-grade immortal-level Little Hiding Dragons by her side!
The Dark Emperor itself wasn’t particularly inclined toward slaughter, but after transforming into the Little Hiding Dragon, it acquired equal combat power to the dragon. It was worth noting that the Little Hiding Dragon’s single Nether River Punishment could directly annihilate an enemy army of seven thousand. If both dragons unleashed the Nether River Punishment simultaneously, then how many from Ning’s Army would still survive?
Upon witnessing this scene, Ning Tianyou’s expression darkened significantly.
Victory over this city had been so close—along with the potential to plunder its resources completely—and returning to Wupan Continent with Ning Man’er, who bore the World Monarch Tree, would have fulfilled his objectives with the Wupan Royal Family.
Yet, unawares, his entire legion was reduced to fewer than 20,000 soldiers, having suffered devastatingly high losses.
With over half of the army gone, the blow was undoubtedly crippling. Furthermore, the legion commanders and generals trembled with fear, lacking the courage to continue fighting.
The Little Hiding Dragon alone had killed over 10,000 people since its appearance. And now, an equally powerful shadow dragon had materialized, employing even more horrifying and sinister methods of killing. Apart from Ning Tianyou and a handful of immortal-level powerhouses, everyone else was little more than cannon fodder in a duel involving two high-grade immortal-level creatures!
“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!”
The Dark Emperor Dragon opened its jaws and unleashed a thunderous dragon’s roar that echoed across the city, instantly enveloping the sky above the city in a layer of black substance!
Visibility plunged into darkness, as dragon chants and ghostly incantations fused. The Dark Emperor Dragon directly replicated the Little Hiding Dragon’s skills, opening a black and terrifying Gate of the Netherworld right in front of it!!!
The Gate of the Netherworld creaked open slowly, releasing black liquid that flowed out to form a pitch-black Nether River!
This Nether River did not merely flow along the ground but floated mid-air, suspended ominously above the heads of Ning’s Army.
Within the river, faces contorted with rage and hatred snarled and clawed, desperate to drag any source of life into its depth.
The Nether River’s ghosts numbered in the hundreds of thousands—tenfold the numbers of Ning’s Army. Each ghost was bone-chillingly frightful. As they extended their blood-drenched claws and released piercing shrieks, it sent shivers down spines!
“Tianyou, hurry and help us fend off this Nether River!” Ning Zhuang cried urgently to Ning Tianyou, seeing the river gradually descending.
Ning Tianyou’s eyes flared with anger, but he couldn’t simply ignore the encroaching Nether River. If allowed to flow through the army, it was likely to leave only 10,000 survivors.
Ning Tianyou mounted his Life Blood Beast and charged toward the Nether River.
The Life Blood Beast spewed a blood-red beam from its jaws, striking the Dark Emperor Dragon’s Nether River and severing it into two segments.
However, this did nothing to diminish the influence of the Nether River’s multitude of ghosts!
The river surged forth, immediately engulfing the entire army in its cold, pitch-black malicious waters.
The Nether River was a domain; once enveloped, one would remain within it unless the domain itself was destroyed. No matter where one attempted to flee, their bodies would persist in the river, where the myriad of ghosts, frenzied with hunger, would latch on, devouring and gnawing. Their assaults were not merely upon physical flesh but the soul itself!
As the Nether River descended, the harrowing cries of agony became unending. Under the relentless assault of high-grade immortal-level skills, the legion had no chance to struggle, their bodies dissolving rapidly into corpse fluid while their souls were feasted upon by the ravenous ghosts lurking within the river!
Ning Tianyou watched his army submerged by the Nether River, his face twitching uncontrollably.
The Life Blood Beast had already tried its best to bombard the river, but the force of the Nether River inherently belonged to the Ghost Race. Ghost attributes were notoriously difficult to defend against or counteract effectively, and the Life Blood Beast’s energy failed inexorably to quell the river. Though slight ripples were stirred, it could not halt the mass melting or the ghostly soul-devouring within the Nether River.
“ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!”
As Ning Tianyou navigated the Nether River, another dragon’s roar rang out!
This dragon’s cry caused the faces of every soldier within the river to turn pale, for they saw another Netherworld Gate emerging beneath the previous one!
The gate slowly creaked open, releasing ghostly blue Nether River water that surged forth madly!!
The ghosts within the ghostly blue river matched the savageness of those in the black Nether River, snarling and clawing. Dragon-faced fiends and hordes of malicious spirits stormed forth. The ghostly blue Nether River hung beneath the black Nether River, the two rivers blending their forces, encapsulating Ning’s Army entirely!!
Hundreds of thousands of ghosts cried and wailed, their ghastly visages exposed to the legion’s eyes, shattering their defense in minutes with sheer terror!!
Nether River Punishment!!!
Both rivers pulsed with an intense and consuming vengeance. Ning Man’er stood at their convergence, her gaze calm and resolute as she watched the enemy army entirely submerged, struggling as though drowning within the rivers. Regardless of their suffering, regardless of the cruelty witnessed, her eyes remained devoid of pity!
These people deserved death—death beneath contempt!!
They destroyed the Silent Forest and dared to wish destruction upon Wanxiang City too.
Wanxiang City was now her only refuge. She would never allow tragedy to repeat, nor anyone to harm even a single soul within its walls.
Incantations thundered from Ning Man’er’s lips, fueled with rage. Two green halos spread out, landing upon both the Little Hiding Dragon and the Dark Emperor Dragon.
The Little Hiding Dragon’s form gradually expanded within the glow of this peculiar aura.
In contrast, the Dark Emperor Dragon’s appearance didn’t enlarge, but its darkness deepened, and its malevolent aura intensified.
The Nether Punishment they emitted became fiercer under Ning Man’er’s wrathful enchantments!!
The black Nether River and the ghostly blue Nether River consumed nearly the entirety of the legion, even trapping Ning Tianyou within their domain.
Countless vengeful spirits surged from the rivers, attacking not only Ning’s soldiers but even targeting the soul pets of the immortal-level powerhouses!
Ning Tianyou became utterly irate. His Life Blood Beast swung its claws in furious arcs, eviscerating tens of thousands of ghostly spirits around him.
But before long, the great spectral host reformed, shrieking ghastly cries as they swarmed around Ning Tianyou.
Ning Tianyou glared venomously at Ning Man’er, infuriated by the hidden power she possessed, represented by the Dark Emperor at her side!
He had been too careless. From the moment Ning Man’er willingly delivered herself, he should have suspected the abnormal aura emanating from her.
“Dark Emperor, kill him!” Ning Man’er pointed directly at Ning Tianyou with an outstretched hand!
Ning Man’er had grown up in the Silent Forest, and with its destruction, Ning Tianyou was technically her only family.
She had cherished this sole familial bond, enduring all grievances silently while with the Wupan Royal Family.
But she had never imagined a day like this would come—the closest kin she had would morph into her most loathed enemy. He had treated her as a pawn and led ruthless invaders into the Silent Forest, slaughtering mercilessly and even killing the World Monarch Tree…
For so long, the truth had been unbearable to process, her thoughts consumed by sorrowful imagery.
But this didn’t mean she forgot Wanxiang City’s current dire plight.
The Silent Forest no longer existed—Wanxiang City was her true home now. No one cherished the city and its inhabitants more than her.
Even if Ning Tianyou wasn’t the mastermind behind the Silent Forest’s annihilation, the moment he marched an army into Wanxiang City, he ceased to be anything but her enemy!
“Kill me?? I’ve never been willing to hurt you!” Ning Tianyou laughed darkly in lieu of anger.
The Dark Emperor Dragon, having expelled its final wave of ghostly spirits, suddenly fixed its gaze upon Chu Mu.
Chu Mu could feel a certain force from the Dark Emperor entwining him. Hesitating momentarily, ultimately, he didn’t interfere with Ning Man’er’s resolution to kill.
Dark energy from the emperor wrapped around Chu Mu, and the dragon’s form began transforming…
From its shadowy dragon state, it slowly morphed into a humanoid figure.
This figure bore an indistinctively wicked face, its body encircled by blazing demon flame, which danced violently.
Iridescent eyes bordered by intense shadow on one side and gray on the other were unmistakably the marks of Chu Mu’s Demon transformation!!
This time, the Dark Emperor was transforming into Chu Mu himself, signifying it would wield Chu Mu’s strength against Ning Tianyou!!
With Chu Mu’s energy fully replenished, his combat ability far surpassed that of the Little Hiding Dragon. If the Dark Emperor could replicate Chu Mu’s strength entirely, Ning Tianyou wouldn’t stand a chance against the demonic guise of the Dark Emperor!!
By instructing the Dark Emperor to assume the Demon form of Chu Mu, Ning Man’er’s unwavering resolve to execute Ning Tianyou was abundantly clear!!
