Chapter 1246 So you're scared?
No wonder!
No wonder they can afford such a dazzling and brilliant flying artifact!
No wonder they could produce such a terrifying array of paintings at their feet!
painting……
He should have thought of it earlier.
What a coincidence!
This level of cultivation, and the painting... everything matches the rumors about Ning Ruan perfectly.
"Congratulations on guessing correctly, but there's no reward."
Ning Ruan wasn't surprised. If she still couldn't guess who she was at this point, then that would really be unacceptable!
But what if you guessed it?
Ning Ruan's figure did not pause at all. Amid Elder Chi Ye's roar of shock and anger, she had already approached a Flame Spider Clan cultivator who was fleeing to the side in a panic.
too fast.
The cultivator was so fast that he didn't even see how Ning Ruan got there. He only saw a blur before his eyes, and a green shadow rushed towards him with a fierce wind.
He didn't have time to make any defensive or counter-attack movements. He instinctively crossed his legs in front of his chest and frantically urged the spiritual power in his body that had been suppressed to the "ninth realm" in an attempt to condense a thin layer of flame armor on his body.
However, under Ning Ruan's extremely fierce punches, this hasty defense was as fragile as paper.
boom!
A dull, heart-stopping thud resounded—
Ning Ruan's fist had already slammed solidly into the opponent's flame armor.
click-
The armor shattered instantly.
There was even a clear and piercing sound of bones cracking.
Ningruan did not stop.
Another punch landed.
It was pressed hard against the other person's chest.
puff--
The cultivator's body seemed to be subjected to an unbearable force, and he suddenly arched backward.
A large section of the chest cavity visibly collapsed.
Blood, a mixture of visceral fragments and broken bone fragments, gushed from his mouth like a fountain.
His eyes bulged out, his face filled with pain and fear, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
Then it crashed into another companion who was trying to escape from behind, and the two rolled into a ball instantly, one dead and the other injured.
Ning Ruan shook her fist.
At this moment, she was very close to Chi Ye.
She stood alone opposite Ning Ruan.
As for the other Flame Spider Clan cultivators, they had already fled in all directions.
Even the cultivator who kept calling Chi Ye "Senior Sister" was no exception.
Elder Chi Ye took a deep breath:
"Ningruan, we can talk..."
The moment Chi Ye uttered the words "Let's talk," Ning Ruan had already thrown a punch.
"!!!"
Chi Ye's pupils contracted sharply, and several crimson spider legs behind her instantly crossed to protect her in front of her. At the same time, she spat out a shield formed of crimson flames from her mouth—even though she was suppressed to the ninth realm, her fighting instincts and experience were stronger than those of other cultivators.
however--
It was that familiar 'click' sound.
The fiery shield shattered instantly.
Ning Ruan's fist pierced through the flying sparks and slammed heavily into Chi Ye's parrying spider leg.
The immense force caused Chi Ye to grunt, his entire body sliding backward uncontrollably. Wherever he passed, the mysterious patterns of the ink painting array beneath his feet seemed to be plowed open, creating ripples.
"Talk?" Ning Ruan flicked her wrist, a smile playing on her lips. "When you were chasing me, you didn't think about talking, did you?"
Chi Ye steadied herself, a sharp pain and a feeling of bone cracking shooting through her spider legs. She suppressed the metallic taste in her throat and said urgently:
"That's because I didn't know you were Ning Ruan. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have attacked you!"
Unexpectedly, Ning Ruan agreed with this statement, saying, "You're not lying. I believe what you're saying is true."
A fleeting, almost imperceptible hint of joy flashed across Chi Ye's eyes.
The tension that had been building up to its limit seemed to ease slightly because of that word "believe".
However, her sense of relief had barely begun when Ning Ruan's voice came again:
“I believe that if you had known I was Ning Ruan earlier, you wouldn’t have acted like this now… so determined to kill me.”
"But that's not because you don't want to kill me, it's just because you know you can't kill Ning Ruan."
"If the person standing here today wasn't a human cultivator named 'Ning Ruan'..."
Ning Ruan tilted her head, paused slightly, and looked into the other person's face, which was now devoid of any joy.
She chuckled and said, "Then, you, and your people... will still take action."
"After all, to your Flame Spider Clan, an ordinary, lone alien cultivator of not-so-high status is no big deal. If you kill her or rob her on your territory, who will know? And who will stand up for her?"
"..."
Elder Chi Ye's face paled, and she opened her mouth to refute, but found Ning Ruan's clear eyes staring at her.
He was clearly just a cultivator at the ninth level of cultivation.
Yet it seemed as if he could see through all her thoughts.
"So..." Ning Ruan looked at the other person, who seemed to still want to argue, and said seriously:
"You want to 'talk' now, not because you've realized your mistakes, nor because your Flame Spider Clan has suddenly started talking about reason."
"Just because..."
"You've discovered that I have the ability to kill you, so you're afraid, and you don't want to die."
"It's normal not to want to die; nobody wants to die. But why did you have to run into me?"
"It's just that you're unlucky."
The moment the last "oh" fell, Ning Ruan's body suddenly swayed slightly.
There was even a tendency for it to fall off the flying sword.
"Ha ha ha ha--!!!"
Elder Chi Ye suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly.
The laughter was hoarse and grating, filled with a twisted, gleeful satisfaction as if a great vengeance had been achieved.
"Ning Ruan! You felt it, didn't you?! Did you feel a stinging pain in your soul, stagnation in your spiritual energy, and even difficulty controlling the flying sword beneath your feet?!"
She stared intently at Ning Ruan's slightly furrowed brows, as if she were trying to suppress her discomfort, her eyes flashing with malice.
"I know you're good at mental attacks, and your mental strength is very strong, but being devoured by Soul-Eating Worms must be quite unpleasant, right?"
"You think you've secured victory just because you've set up the formation?"
Elder Chi Ye revealed a morbid excitement on his face, "It's a good thing you didn't use the painting that killed Wang Xuan, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to deal with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, several lines of fire shot straight at Ning Ruan like venomous snakes.
The latter looked at her.
It was as if I were looking at a fool.
Ning Ruan clicked her tongue.
With a nimble leap, he weaved through the gaps between several lines of fire.
The speed at which the fire was fired was clearly very fast.
But he still couldn't match her faster movements.
Chi Ye was stunned, his expression one of utter astonishment. "No, how could you... You were clearly infected by the Soul-Eating Worm..."
"I don't care if you're a bug or not, just prepare to die!"
In that instant when the other party was distracted, Ning Ruan had already crossed the line of fire.
It was too late for Chi Ye to escape.
His escape techniques are completely useless here.
Without a doubt, it was once again due to the strange array of paintings beneath their feet.
This left him, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, in ruins, being hunted down by a Ninth Realm cultivator.
