DRAGON EMPEROR
CHAPTER 57 Against Ning Feng
“Mu Lan, I heard you were the one who recommended Lu Ming to the Mystical Sword Sect. Looks like your outlook ahead is not good. Lu Ming might have some potential, but he would die prematurely due to his arrogance,” Ning Kong sneered.
Mu Lan pursed her lips and said coldly, “It is your son who will die early.”
“Hmph, really? I hope you can still say the same later.” Ning Kong waved his hand desperately and sat down.
Holy hooch!
Ning Feng jumped down from the observation stage, his figure as fast as a swallow.
In a few steps, she had covered a distance of at least 50 meters, appearing on the Vermillion Bird Stage in a short period of time.
“A very good technique! The years that Ning Feng spent practicing martial arts were truly unheard of. He had reached the Fifth Stage with this Inferior Yellow Level technique – Three Swallow Bird Dips.”
“It's only natural that Ning Feng reached such a level because his father guided him at every step over the years, but Lu Ming was just a newly registered apprentice. At the very least, her martial arts techniques were definitely no match for Ning Feng.”
"You're right!"
The apprentices discussed in earnest.
“Lu Ming is here!” one of the apprentices shouted.
From the mountain path, Lu Ming walked out with Pang Shi and Hua Chi by his side.
“I never thought Lu Ming would still dare to appear!”
“Hmph, he's here to die. I don't think he'll even survive the ten attacks from Senior Brother Ning.”
“Ten blows? I think even three strokes is already a miracle.”
The apprentices sitting beside Ning Kong sneered as the crowd naturally made way for Lu Ming's entourage.
Lu Ming then walked calmly to the Vermillion Bird Stage until he stood face to face with Ning Feng.
“Haha, Lu Ming, you are actually here. I thought you would hide in your dorm like a cowardly cat!” Ning Feng sneered.
“Do you think you are that strong, Ning Feng?” Lu Ming smiled indifferently.
“You will know it soon. It's a fight to the death at the Vermillion Bird Stage, Lu Ming. Hehe, it's too late for you to regret now.” Ning Feng grinned.
“Stop that shit and move on. I just hope you don't disappoint me,” said Lu Ming.
“Haha, disappointed you?” Ning Feng laughed out loud as if he had just heard a very funny joke.
She had been registered as an apprentice of the Vermillion Bird Hall for five years now. Although his talent was not very outstanding, he was not a weak person.
Now, a month-old novice told him directly so as not to disappoint.
What a joke, a joke really.
Just then, Ning Feng's face darkened as he said, “Since you can't wait to die, I'll grant your death wish. Today, I am the one who will trample your confidence and destroy your dignity.”
He chuckled humorlessly as he moved swiftly, banging his palm towards Lu Ming.
Black light enveloped his palm as Ning Feng's Essential Qi exploded, splitting the air with a shrill voice.
It was a Black Lava Palm martial technique, Inferior Yellow Level.
"That's all? Was it meant to destroy me?” Lu Ming waved a punch with a faint smile on his face.
Fire Dragon Fist!
Boiling hot gas filled the air as Lu Ming's fist floated, and a faint dragon cry slowly caught up with him.
His punch was extremely powerful and his strength could not be stopped as it collided with Ning Feng's palm.
Bam!
Loud explosions rang out as Lu Ming's fists and Ning Feng's palms clashed against each other. A gust of hot air shot out, spreading everywhere.
Both Lu Ming and Ning Feng parted ways once they collided. One figure staggered backwards with three consecutive blows.
It was Ning Feng.
Everyone is surprised. Was Ning Feng defeated with just one move? How come?
From the aura Ning Feng gave off, it was clear that he had the cultivation of a top Sixth Grade Realm Master.
It was unbelievable for the best Sixth Grade Master to be defeated by Lu Ming with just one punch! How could Lu Ming be so powerful?
Ning Feng was stunned. He had not expected Lu Ming to be truly this powerful.
Amidst the crowd, Pang Shi cheered enthusiastically, “Wow, good! Greetings Senior Brother Lu Ming!”
On the observation stage, Mu Lan's eyes shone. A smile appeared on his face as he turned to Ning Kong and said, “It looks like Lu Ming is better.”
“Hmph, it's too early to say it!” Ming Kong sneered.
Clangs!
Sword unsheathed.
“Devil Wind Sword Technique – Falling Clouds in the Wind!”
At the same time, Ning Feng released his strength and Sword Qi exploded. He swung his sword and charged at Lu Ming with all his might, intent on killing.
Lu Ming grinned coldly and unsheathed his own sword. His sword Qi was beaming like a shooting star, splitting the air with an ear-piercing whistle.
This was not the Onyx Sword Sect, but the Sky Star Sword, his father's relic sword. The Onyx Sword Sect was only a Superior First Level spiritual weapon and not strong enough to duel with Ning Feng.
On the other hand, the sword that Lu Ming's father left behind was a Superior Second Level spiritual weapon. It was enough to show his strength at full strength.
Clangs!
The two swords collided with roaring clangs. Both Lu Ming and Ning Feng shuddered. They keep fighting.
Clangs! Clangs!...
As the swords collided, Sword Qi spewed out everywhere. The two fighting figures were visually immersed by the continuous radiance of sword light.
“Strong, very strong! Lu Ming could actually duel with Ning Feng.”
“Even with the Demonic Wind Sword Technique, Ning Feng's Yellow Level Superior Fifth Stage sword technique, Lu Ming seemed to have fighting strength equivalent to his sword techniques! It's unbelievable."
“Duel is worth watching.”
Senior apprentices could barely remain calm as they watched what was happening on stage.
“Devil Wind Sword Technique – World Execution Through Wind!”
“Devil Wind Sword Technique-Destroy Mad Storm!”
.......
Ning Feng fought constantly with the powerful movements of the Demonic Wind Sword Technique.
In an instant, 50 moves occurred between the two.
Clangs!
Lu Ming and Ning Feng suddenly parted ways after a loud sound.
“I admit that you have pretty good skills to be able to duel with me like this, Lu Ming. But today, you will die. Now, let me show you what I am capable of.”
The explosion!
There was suddenly an explosion coming from within Ning Feng, and his aura increased at an alarming speed as a mountain-like aura erupted from him.
“Nevent Class Master's Hall! Ning Feng is a Seven.” Grade Teacher
“Lu Ming is done. The Seventh Grade Master Realm was incomparable to a Sixth Grade Master. Lu Ming would be dead now that Ning Feng had managed to break through.”
“Really squandered a super genius.”
“So what if he's a genius? There are many geniuses under the sun, and only God knows how many geniuses die each year. Geniuses who do not live long are meaningless.”
As soon as Ning Feng showed the cultivation of the Seventh Grade Realm Master, almost everyone thought Lu Ming was done.
On the spectacle stage, Mu Lan, Feng Wu, and the others looked shocked and worried.
"Ha ha!" Ning Kong laughed out loud and said, “You didn't expect it, did you, Mu Lan?! This time, Lu Ming MUST die!”
There was a glint in Mu Lan's eyes, but she did not respond. Deep down, he was not sure either.
Could Lu Ming withstand Ning Feng's blow?
“I will show you my full strength now, Lu Ming! The only price you have to pay to witness this is death!” Ning Feng boasted proudly as a blood red light lit up on it.
Blast of blood meridians!
He had a Fourth Level blood meridian, so he experienced a 40% increase in strength after the explosion of his blood meridians.
“Devil Wind Sword Technique – Falling Clouds in the Wind!”
Ning Feng's sword slashed towards Lu Ming accompanied by a strong wind that turned into a beam of sword light. Although the movements were the same, it was much stronger when compared to the previous movements.
“It's more like that!”
On the Vermillion Bird Stage, Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and stomped on the stage violently. His body shot out like lightning.
At the same time, his aura drastically increased as he shot.
