This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 534 Heavenly Tribulation Questions the Heart
The light of the setting sun dyed the two figures on the rooftop red.

Along the way, many enemies thought that Li Fei was "seeking death", but in the end they were the ones who died.

Today is different.

A top-level warrior, the contemporary swordsman, said to Li Fei out of kindness:

You will die.

This heavy weight cannot be ignored.

Li Fei looked at the other person, his eyes like a sword, as if he wanted to penetrate the cloak and look at the swordsman:

"Li Ming also said something similar to me at the top of Tiansha Mountain before. Does Ning Jianxian know how I responded?"

Ning Qingman smiled.

She was already lying in ambush nearby, so she naturally heard what Li Fei said.

"I have fought more powerful warriors than you, why are you pretending in front of me?"

Li Fei knew that Ning Qingman let him leave out of kindness, so he brought up this matter not to provoke her, but to tell her -

I am not the kind of person who would be scared away by hearing the name of a top powerhouse.

"If I hadn't taken action that day, you wouldn't have been able to change anything."

Ning Qingman said softly.

Li Fei dared to confront Li Ming head-on, which showed that he was very courageous and his strength should not be underestimated.

But if Ning Qingman hadn't swung out that stunning sword at the critical moment, Li Fei wouldn't have been able to stop Li Ming from "swallowing" Ying Jie.

If Li Ming wanted to take revenge afterwards, he could only escape by relying on his magical power of [Wu Jut].

Ning Qingman commented that he had a chance to enter the 'top 30 in the world', but there was still an insurmountable gap between him and the top powerhouses!
"Ning Jianxian should at least tell me the specific situation. I will make the decision whether to leave or stay."

Li Fei said seriously.

Ning Qingman looked at the young man in front of him. He was indeed different from the young men he had met while doing justice over the years.

Not a fledgling that needed to take shelter under her wings.

"it is good."

Ning Qingman decided to tell Li Fei the truth:
"The people we saw in the cell just now are suffering from soul separation syndrome. I have seen this symptom in a village in a southern province more than 20 years ago. It was also there that I had a fight with the Styx Patriarch, one of the three evil demons."

Ancestor Ming He!

Hearing this name, Li Fei understood who Ning Qingman was referring to when she said 'more than one top powerhouse'.

"There are hundreds of thousands of wronged souls in the other party's life-saving magic weapon, the Pluto Palace. After these wronged souls are temporarily deposited in the bodies of ordinary people for a period of time, some people with weak constitutions and insufficient energy and spirit may suffer from soul separation syndrome."

Ning Qingman continued.

Li Fei: "What is the purpose of the other party doing this?"

“I later consulted Sister Wen about this matter. The Minghe Patriarch sacrificed the blood of the people of the city to achieve enlightenment. To use Ying Jie’s summary, he took the path of proving the truth with momentum.

He relied on the flesh and blood, souls, destinies and cause and effect of hundreds of thousands of people to prove his truth against all odds.

But doing so would be against the harmony of heaven. If he stayed in a certain place for too long, or released the ghosts in the Pluto Palace for a long time, it would cause the Great Dao to backfire, which is - Heavenly Tribulation!"

"Heavenly Tribulation? Is there really such a thing?"

Li Fei expressed doubts about this.

If the Dao of Heaven and Earth really had some kind of will that punished evil and promoted good, then when Qingxu sacrificed the blood of hundreds of thousands of people to quickly complete the formation, why didn't a heavenly calamity fall down and kill the other party?
Ning Qingman: "Have you read the textbooks sent from the Western Continent?"

"Ok?"

"The physics mentioned electricity, saying that electric current is made up of positive and negative electrons, which attract each other and annihilate each other when they meet."

“Well, I understand a little bit about this.”

"It's easy to understand if you understand. You can regard luck, fate, cause and effect as a kind of electric current, which is also divided into positive and negative electrons."

"This"

"Back then, the Styx Patriarch sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people in a city with blood, and used their luck, destiny, and cause and effect to achieve enlightenment. At the same time, he also accumulated a large amount of negative electrons. Because those hundreds of thousands of ghosts have always existed in his life magic weapon, this large amount of negative electrons has also been with him."

"."

"When the Styx Patriarch stays in a certain place long enough, or when he releases hundreds of thousands of ghosts long enough, the large amount of negative electrons he carries will attract a large amount of positive electrons between heaven and earth. These positive electrons are the so-called heavenly tribulation. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Fei was silent.

He never thought that as a time traveler, one day someone would interpret metaphysics for him in such a 'scientific' way?

But don’t say it, really don’t say it.

After listening to Ning Qingman’s interpretation, Li Fei felt as if everything had suddenly become clear!

"I heard that the current Buddha of Pudu Temple once vowed to kill the Styx Patriarch. In addition to spreading Buddhist teachings, is it also because it would be very beneficial for the Buddha to destroy the large number of negative electrons on the Styx Patriarch? For example, he could harvest a lot of positrons?"

Li Fei suddenly asked.

Ning Qingman looked at Li Fei with approval. She didn't expect that this Marquis Jing'an not only accepted new theories very quickly, but also was able to draw inferences from them.

"I think it should be like this. Buddhist martial arts and practice always have some unique features in this regard."

Ning Qingman said, "Let's get back to the topic of soul separation syndrome."

"it is good."

“In order to solve this hidden danger, the old man of the Styx made an attempt to temporarily place the ghosts in the Pluto Palace in ordinary people for a period of time, and then use some means to transfer the contaminated karma, that is, those negative electrons, to these people, in an attempt to conceal the truth and let others bear the heavenly tribulation for him.

The time I encountered it was probably not the first time that the Styx Patriarch tried it, but I think his method must have failed. "

Li Fei nodded.

If it were really feasible, the old man of the Styx would have been causing trouble and harming people everywhere over the years.

And the imperial court will certainly take action.

"Now that the other party has achieved new results, they want to try again in Tancheng?"

Li Fei asked.

Ning Qingman: "No, the other party is coming for me. This is a carefully designed trap."

Li Fei: "What do you mean?"

Ning Qingman: "Under the heavenly calamity, ordinary people who are possessed by ghosts and infected by karma will be implicated and die suddenly. The other party used such means against Tancheng to force me to rescue people."

Li Fei frowned: "If we want to save people, how do we save them?"

"Take the calamity head on."

Ning Qingman spoke lightly and in a calm tone.

"."

Li Fei did not ask why the other party had to take such a big risk for a group of unrelated people.

The girl who knows the Ning family's swordsmanship may be part of the answer.

Ning Qingman looked at Li Fei: "Do you know why I let you go now? If we were only facing Li Ming and the Styx Patriarch, and Li Ming's fighting power had not recovered, you could indeed help a little, and we would indeed have a chance to win.

But while I was actively bearing the heavenly tribulation, I also had to deal with the attacks of two top-level warriors. Even for me, this round was a close call!"

"Where is Pavilion Master Wen? Won't she help? Doesn't she want Li Ming to die?"

Li Fei asked.

Ning Qingman shook her head: "Sister Wen's cultivation requires less karma. She took action at Tiansha Mountain and severed the karma between herself and Li Ming. The reason she helped me figure out Li Ming's whereabouts was to sever the karma between us.

No matter who dies between me and Li Ming, it has nothing to do with her. So she will not participate in this round. "

"."

Li Fei sensed a sense of loneliness and solitude from her tone.

This situation was indeed different from what he had imagined.

Ning Qingman smiled and said, "You may think I'm stupid in your heart. I knew it was a trap but I still stepped into it. But everyone will do a few stupid things in their life." She turned and looked at the sunset in the distance, which was gradually getting dim, with her hands behind her back:

"Go quickly. With your status, as long as you don't actively get involved, they won't attack you."

"."

"By the way, since I taught you swordsmanship during this period, please take the little girl named Nie Susu with you. She is not tainted by karma and fate. If I die today, I hope that Marquis Jing'an can keep her safe for the rest of her life."

".good."

After a while, there was only one person left on the rooftop.

Ning Qingman was not surprised when she sensed Li Fei had left. She went to the edge of the rooftop and sat down with her legs hanging outside.

She took off her cloak, supported her hands on both sides, and looked up into the distance.

When she was little, her favorite thing to do was to sit on the roof of her house, like she was doing now, and watch the sunset with her legs swinging.

Looking at the setting sun in the distance, Ning Qingman recalled many things from the past.

She has been extremely talented since childhood and her family has high hopes for her.

At the age of 32, she broke through and became a martial arts master.

Such a speed can be considered as a peerless genius even in this era when geniuses are emerging in large numbers!
But a martial arts master who has just achieved a breakthrough is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the general trend.

When Ning Qingman was 33 years old, the Ning family was destroyed.

The main reason for the Ning family's downfall was that they participated in party struggles and were killed by their opponents.

Another part of the reason is that Li Ming used the [Demon Fetus Soul Seed] to secretly control a part of the Ning family, profiting from it and creating chaos.

That’s why Li Ming also knew the Ning family’s swordsmanship and was able to teach it to Nie Susu.

All those who killed the Ning family were killed by the new emperor after he ascended the throne.

The only enemy of the Ning family is Li Ming.

But Li Ming broke through and became a Martial Saint in the second year after the fall of the Ning family.

Although the new emperor appreciated Ning Qingman, he would not waste national strength to kill a top-level warrior just for the sake of the destroyed Ning family.

So you can only rely on yourself for revenge.

After Ning Qingman learned the truth, his cultivation began to improve by leaps and bounds!
At the age of forty, she became a grandmaster.

At the age of fifty-six, she reached the peak of the Li Dao realm and was ready to break through.

It was on the day of the breakthrough that she realized that Li Ming had been secretly observing her.

Li Ming has been waiting for Ning Qingman to break through so that he can complete his own path.

However, at the most critical moment, Wen Xuexian of Hongchen Pavilion rescued Ning Qingman, which prevented Li Ming from achieving his goal. It also allowed Ning Qingman to successfully break through and become the youngest Martial Saint in history!
After becoming a Martial Saint, Ning Qingman began to hunt down Li Ming.

The feud between the two has continued for decades until today.

There must be an end at last.

As the last rays of sunset disappeared into the horizon, dusk surged in from afar like a tide.

Ning Qingman sat on the rooftop, facing the entire world alone, and was gradually swallowed up by the dusk.

"Li Fei took that Nie Susu out of the city."

In the dark room, the voice of the Styx Patriarch sounded in Li Ming's ears:

“Ning Qingman stayed and did not leave, but it is possible that she stayed here on purpose to wait for me to trigger the heavenly tribulation, and then take advantage of the opportunity to attack.”

"Ah."

Li Ming sneered, "Even without those plans, I am 30% sure that she will stay to save people. With those plans, I am at least 70% sure! Now that she let Li Fei take Nie Susu away and stayed behind, it means that she has decided to withstand the heavenly tribulation!"

The most brilliant part of this game is not using the Styx Patriarch to trigger a natural disaster.

But it’s about asking your conscience!
Li Ming wanted Ning Qingman to face one thing directly——

When the Ning family was destroyed, you were powerless and could not change anything.

Now that you have reached the top and become a sword master, is it true that you still cannot change anything?

The demise of the Ning family has always been the deepest scar and knot in Ning Qingman's heart.

Li Ming used Nie Susu to make the other party face this knot again.

For this reason, he asked the old man of the Styx to possess the ghost of everyone in the city, except Nie Susu.

So if Ning Qingman wanted, she could escape with just Nie Susu.

But doing so would be equivalent to letting Ning Qingman personally take Nie Susu to experience the same fate as she did back then!

If Ning Qingman really did this, she would not be able to become a sword immortal and would not be able to practice that kind of swordsmanship.

This is Li Ming’s confidence.

Sometimes the person who knows you best is your enemy.

"I hope you're right."

The ancestor of the Styx left a final sentence.

In a dark room somewhere underground, a white-haired old man wearing a white robe, who looked like an immortal, was sitting cross-legged.

In front of him, there was a small, exquisite-looking palace floating.

The palace emitted a dim light, which made the white-haired old man's face flicker.

This old man who looks like an immortal is the Styx Patriarch, one of the three evil demons. He is also the one who has killed the most people and committed the most sins among the three evil demons!

"Ning Qingman"

The ancestor of the Styx used secret techniques and the help of the possessed ghost to secretly observe the sword fairy.

Li Ming had secretly contacted him more than ten years ago, wanting to join forces with him to deal with Ning Qingman.

But for the old man of the Styx, the risks of this matter outweigh the benefits.

Anyway, the person Ning Qingman vowed to kill was not him, so he was not in a hurry at all.

It was not until Li Ming found Nie Susu and discovered that Ning Qingman had once given her instructions that he decided to set up this questioning game that the Styx Patriarch finally became interested.

In today's situation, if Li Ming miscalculated, the worst that could happen to the old man of the Styx would be that he would have to bear the calamity. Anyway, he only released tens of thousands of ghosts, and the power of the calamity he brought about was not the greatest.

Afterwards, we can sacrifice tens of thousands of people in Tancheng to recover some of the losses.

And if Ning Qingman really takes the initiative to withstand the heavenly tribulation as Li Ming expected, then the ancestor of the Styx will make a lot of money.

Not only can he eliminate part of his own karma and destiny at no cost, but he also has the opportunity to join forces with Li Ming to kill Ning Qingman.

The flesh, blood, and soul of a sword immortal are of great tonic to the ancestor of the Styx!
In the dark room, the old man of the Styx clasped his hands together and no longer used secret techniques to cover up the cause and effect fate that had been contaminated by the people of Tancheng.

Between heaven and earth, invisible energy began to gather towards Tancheng.

More than an hour later.

Boom——

Above Tancheng, angry thunder tore through the sky!

Black clouds began to gather, covering the entire city.

Dark clouds are coming over the city.

A terrifying, suffocating feeling of impending disaster descended upon tens of thousands of people in Tancheng!

On the street, many people suddenly screamed loudly.

Some people fell to the ground foaming at the mouth, some ran around, screaming, smashing things around them, and some held their heads with their hands, shaking all over.
What a chaos!
On the rooftop of the Inspection Office building.

A man in blue stood up and looked up at the sky calmly.

The disaster is coming!
