Chapter 4384
Ning Zhi watched in shock as the breaths flowed together towards the Dragon Slaying Sword, resembling a stream of water converging seamlessly!
His gaze was fixed on the sword, leaving him utterly stunned. His pupils dilated, and a sense of dread filled his heart!
It was important to note that just moments ago, while executing the Ten Thousand Swords Returning technique, Kai had demonstrated immense power, yet it was clear he hadn’t fully unleashed its potential!
In stark contrast, the Heaven Cutting Sword Mantle emanated a chilling aura of death that struck fear deep within Ning Zhi!
“Kai, just how many sword techniques from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect do you possess? Are you a direct disciple of that sect?”
“The finest techniques of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are unattainable for an outsider like you.”
“When did you manage to steal and master them?”
Ning Zhi, bewildered, shouted at Kai!
“If I told you that I learned these sword arts from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect just recently, would you believe me?”
Kai replied with a cold smirk!
Ning Zhi paused, realization dawning on him. “Wait, do you have the secret manuals of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect? You saved Zhu Qingxiu for the manuals, didn’t you?”
At that moment, Ning Zhi understood that Kai had indeed acquired the secret manuals from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!
He knew that if one possessed enough talent, simply skimming through the manuals with their divine sense would allow the sword techniques to materialize in their consciousness!
With sufficient talent, learning a few moves would be as easy as following the instructions of a cat and a tiger.
However, it seemed that Kai’s power was not yet at its peak!
Ning Zhi believed that if he obtained the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s manuals, he too would be able to instantly master the sword techniques contained within!
“Nonsense! I’m not as devious as you think; that secret manual was given to me directly by Zhu Qingxiu.”
“Just accept your fate; there’s no time for idle chatter…”
With that, Kai swung the Dragon Cutting Sword downward with decisive motion!
Seeing this, Ning Zhi didn’t hesitate for a moment. He immediately produced a furnace pot, which exploded in an instant, sending a torrent of flames shooting into the sky!
Kai’s heart sank at the sight of such a valuable furnace cauldron being destroyed by Ning Zhi; he had intended to seize it!
“Master, save me…”
Ning Zhi cried out amidst the chaos of the fiery explosion!
As his voice faded, a figure began to materialize from the swirling flames!
This figure was a blurred image of Master Shifu, with no discernible features to identify if it was male or female!
As soon as the figure appeared, an overwhelming pressure descended upon Kai!
A colossal palm swung toward him!
Kai’s brow furrowed in response, but he bravely struck out with his sword against the massive hand!
Boom!
As Kai’s sword collided with the palm, Ning Zhi felt a flicker of fear. Yet, Kai’s attack was effortlessly blocked!
A deafening crash echoed as the sword aura emitted by Kai shattered into fragments.
In that moment, Kai recognized the vast gap in power between himself and the looming figure!
Clearly, the opponent was just a projection, so their strength was not fully realized!
Nevertheless, it was obvious that Kai lacked the strength to even land a single blow!
Seeing this, Ning Zhi couldn’t contain his joy, and as he witnessed Kai’s defeated demeanor, he shouted, “Master, finish him off, now!”
Kai gripped the Dragon Cutting Sword tightly, retreating quickly with a pallid expression!
“Senior, I really need your assistance this time; otherwise, I’m done for…”
Kai had no choice but to call upon the Red Cloud Demon Monarch for help!
Without intervention, he would likely be crushed in an instant!
“Hahaha! You’ve finally come to that realization! Don’t worry; even though this old thing is merely a projection, I’ve dealt a heavy blow to his main body.”
The Red Cloud Demon Lord laughed heartily and instantly took control of Kai’s body!
“Master, don’t delay! Kill him!”
Ning Zhi continued to urge his master!
However, the voice of the shadow trembled, “Silence! That boy has an unexpectedly strong aura; we must flee!”
With a swift motion of its hand, the shadow enveloped Ning Zhi and swiftly vanished into the swirling flames!
“Damn it! How did he escape? The old man hasn’t even had a chance to move yet…”
The Red Cloud Demon Lord was in a frenzy, cursing in frustration!
