The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

"Brother Ning!"

Qin Xihai rushed over, poised to throw herself into his arms, but she stopped as she reached out her hand and a fiery blush covered her face.

"Ha ha, look at Xihai putting on such a girlish act. Even the 'Absolute Sea God Hunter' of the Six Gates can have such a demeanor," Leng Kuangtu changed his previously cold expression to a long laugh.

While he had appeared calm and composed before, he was actually very nervous inside. He and Ning Wuming, along with a group of people, were all genuine disciples of the Six Gates, having known each other since childhood, and their relationship was extremely deep.

When Qin Xihai heard the laughter, her face turned even redder. However, as someone accustomed to adversity, she quickly forced herself to stabilize the embarrassment in her heart and took out a jade token from her embrace, saying, "Brother Ning, this was entrusted to me by my adoptive father before he left. He said that after you come out of seclusion, I should give it to you."

"Left by Master Divine Captor?"

Ning Wuming took the jade token with both hands and infused True Qi into it.

The jade token lit up with a green light, and the voice of the Divine Captor emanated from it, "Wuming, if you can activate this jade token, it means you have successfully completed your seclusion. As an elder, I am very gratified by your achievement. I have already spoken with Pei Dongliu. Once you ascend to the Divinity Realm, you can hold this jade token and seek his advice on Martial Arts. Your Martial Arts are exceedingly perfect, absorbing the essence of various martial arts to form an impeccable approach. Pei Dongliu, who has thoroughly studied the extremities of combat, integrating various martial arts, is indeed suitable to instruct you."

When the message ended, the jade token lost its glow and reverted to its ordinary appearance.

"Wuming thanks Uncle Shi," Ning Wuming bowed in the direction of Ji Province.

After expressing his thanks, Ning Wuming stood up and asked Qin Xihai, "Xihai, how is Qing Yu doing in Northern Zhou?"

Qing Yu had started his seclusion even earlier than Ning Wuming last year. Although Ning Wuming found it hard to believe that he could ascend to God, exceptions always existed. Appropriately, Qing Yu had already created countless exceptions.

"A few days ago, 'Red Thunder' appeared in the sky over Divine Capital of Northern Zhou, drawing attention from across the world. According to reports from spies, the official explanation from Northern Zhou is that the Shamanism from the grassland intended to act against heaven and invade the Central Plains, which triggered a warning from the heavens. Director Zheng Qingyu resisted the Evil Techniques of Shamanism and is currently in critical condition, recovering from severe injuries."

Qin Xihai hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Ning, although I also think that Qing Yu, that demon master, couldn't possibly ascend to God, this could still be one of his tricks. Whether he has ascended or not, if you go to Northern Zhou for revenge now, it is more likely to be dangerous than fortunate.

Perhaps you should first approach Instructor Pei to seek advice on Martial Arts, and when the opportunity arises later, eliminate Qing Yu."

Leng Kuangtu also persuaded, "Northern Zhou is currently overrun by the Demon Path; it's truly not a benign place. I hope you will think it over."

"Don't worry," Ning Wuming laughed, "I am not one to act recklessly."

"Qing Yu is very cautious. When he was weak, he was merely a prodigy among the younger generation. Once the abnormal speed of his martial prowess began to show, he concealed himself, avoiding contact with the Six Gates as much as possible. Once he revealed his treacherous intentions, he completely disappeared. If not for this, Qi Feng would have eliminated this threat long ago."

Ning Wuming paused, then continued, "Although I have never met this demon master in person, I have studied him for a long time. Qing Yu never acts unless he is sure of the outcome, and he rarely risks his life recklessly. Whether or not he has ascended to God, he is definitely not as seriously injured as the reports suggest. The only way to kill him is with a swift and powerful attack. I will wait for that moment."

Hearing this, both Qin Xihai and Leng Kuangtu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Wuming was still the same Ning Wuming and had not lost his reason even after becoming a powerful figure in the Divinity Realm. On the contrary, the 'Divine Captor Wu Que', having compensated for the flaw of his eyes, seemed even more trustworthy than before.

"Bai Wuren, what are the current arrangements?" Ning Wuming asked.

Qin Xihai replied, "He has gone to Ji Province with my adoptive father to assist Luo Shenhou. With the Blood Demon Sect rampant in Ji Province, if he dies there, it would be his destiny."

For Bai Wuren, the Shadow King's spy installed within the Six Gates, the Six Gates had already harbored intentions to kill. Now, with a confrontation with the Shadow King imminent, it was time to take care of this spy first.

"Has it come to this..."

Upon hearing this, Ning Wuming guessed that the Six Gates were about to openly break with the Shadow King, and he felt somewhat relieved that he had exited his retreat in time. Had he been any later, it might have been too late.

"A storm is brewing, and we will have to work even harder. Today, I shall visit Instructor Pei and ask for his guidance. Xihai..."

Ning Wuming gently grasped Qin Xihai's somewhat calloused hands, "After stabilizing the chaos caused by the Shadow King and eliminating Qing Yu, I will give you a promise—a promise for a lifetime."

He Fengsa soared through the dark, lightless waterway.

The darkness did not hinder He Fengsa's vision; he could clearly see the debris in the waterway, and he could smell the heavy stench of corpses.

Initially, Hidden Dragon had unleashed its fury, strangling, smashing, and drowning nearly a hundred thousand soldiers, sweeping their corpses into the underground waterways.

This had caused the nearby underground rivers at Feiyun Pass to be filled with the remains of the grassland warriors, and this place was no exception.

He Fengsa supported his True Qi, dispelling the air of corpse stench around him, and flew forward once again.

According to the shamanic divinations of Shamanism, the core of Hidden Dragon was beneath Feiyun Pass. Although this core had been destroyed, He Fengsa still hoped to get a closer look at this superweapon that had devastated the grassland armies.

True Qi formed a Qi Shield around him, He Fengsa found his direction and charged straight forward. His power meant that, unlike the spies, he was not required to look for paths but could press through any obstacles directly to his target below Feiyun Pass.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

All encountered rock walls were forcibly collapsed by him as He Fengsa moved straight forward towards his destination.

"Boom—"

A rock wall was destroyed again, but not in front of him—above him.

Without a sound, only when the ambush struck did it trigger a faint Qi Mechanism.

A figure shining with golden light burst through the rock above and threw down a gigantic orb of ice.

Emperor Sky Wild Thunder.

The orb of ice exploded, sending countless shards of ice flying everywhere with intense force.

Caught off guard, He Fengsa was struck squarely by the Emperor Sky Wild Thunder and hurled back into the murky dark current.

"Thump—"

Another muffled sound, as a thick arm emerged from the turbid stream mixed with Corpse Water and collided with a descending Golden Palm, the wave of air from the impact instantly destroying more than twenty nearby rock walls and clearing the obstructions in several waterways.

"Dong—"

A bell-like sound reverberated, and the powerful backlash forced the grassland warrior in the turbid stream to the bottom of the dark current.
