Overdraw the future and become a peerless martial god

Chapter 51 Blood Pill

Ten thousand feet high in the sky, golden lines flickered in Chu Ning's pupils. The gale, slicing through his face like a knife, transformed into a gentle current three feet away. This was the change brought on by paying back the price of the "Sky-Splitting Shadow Art."

He could clearly feel the air whistling in his ears and felt an unprecedented freedom and joy.

Chu Ning raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes: "This is the feeling of flying..." As he whispered, it seemed that even the air was filled with fresh strength and vitality, as if every inch of air was paving the way for him.

Suddenly, a sharp scream broke the silence.

"Cry——"

The little snow fox suddenly leaped from his shoulder, its body as fast as lightning, rushing forward. It howled to the sky, as if it wanted to challenge the power of the entire world.

Chu Ning smiled faintly, a flicker of joy in his heart, and his speed increased by another thirty percent. His body moved forward at a speed as fast as a meteor, tearing the air around him with a startling roar. The thick cumulonimbus clouds and lightning seemed unable to stop his pace, leaving them behind almost instantly.

"Boom!"

A violent roar of thunder resounded through the sky, and he fiercely tore the thunderclouds apart. Lightning and frost intertwined into a violent gust of wind. As he burst from the thunderclouds, the birds he passed by, unable to break free, were transformed into blood mist in the gust of wind, their feathers turning into icy flames that danced in the air.

On the ground in the distance, the warriors watching this scene were extremely shocked. They saw a purple-gold meteor streaking across the sky, instantly piercing the boundaries of the air with an overwhelming force. Even the steel knives in their hands exploded into pieces under the impact in the air.

"Exhilarating!" Chu Ning roared, his voice resonating across the boundless sky. Ten days ago, he was still struggling to break through the bottleneck of the Tenth Rank. Now, he could easily look down on those Eighth Rank warriors, feeling an indescribable sense of joy and power.

He lowered his head and looked at his palms. The power at his fingertips surged like waves, as if the whole world was in his hands.

"What would Old Li think if he saw me now?" Chu Ning's eyes flashed with confidence, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, "Will the owner... be scared and afraid to speak?"

He was filled with pride, but soon, the little snow fox's excited cry caught his attention again. Its blue eyes flashed with excitement as it looked at Chu Ning, as if sharing this surging pleasure with him.

Chu Ning smiled gently and reached out to rub its little head: "Little Snow Fox, it seems that you are also enjoying the feeling of flying."

Although he felt exhilarated at the moment, he knew clearly that in thirty days and nights he would have to endure the Primordial Chaos. He needed to improve his strength to survive. He couldn't use divine orders to advance his strength before then. His only option was to win the Qingyun Tournament and obtain the "Nine Heavens Thunder Point" to master the complete Thunder Technique.

This might improve his chances of winning, but he had to rescue his sister first. Thinking of this, Chu Ning's speed increased again. His body seemed to merge with the wind, swiftly moving through the air, his figure almost disappearing in the flashes of lightning.

At this speed, a journey that would have taken several days would only take a few hours to reach Qingyang County.

Beneath the sky, wind and clouds surged, and lightning flashed.

Chu Ning's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Sister, wait for me to come back."

……

On the outskirts of Qingyang County, dark clouds hung low and the wind blew away the dead branches.

Chu Ning hovered in the clouds, looking down at the wilderness below with a grim gaze.

In the dense forest, more than ten black-clothed warriors were closing in and surrounding a man in brocade robes.

The man's clothes were disheveled, his temples were stained with blood, his breathing was disordered but his steps were nimble. He moved swiftly in the woods, and the dagger in his hand flew. Every move he made was extremely precise. He either used the force to leap over, or blocked and counterattacked with the blade. Even though he was outnumbered ten people, he managed to hold back the offensive of these killers.

Chu Ning looked closely and saw that the man in brocade robe was actually the fur merchant from Qingyang County - Shen Yan!
Shen Yan, the usually smooth-talking and calculating businessman, unexpectedly possessed such skills. Although he had not yet reached the rank, he was already an extremely rare master among ordinary warriors.

Chu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The Wang family's money bag is being hunted down by its own people?"

A strange pattern appeared in his golden pupils, penetrating the layers of shadows in the forest, and he could clearly see the red jade box held tightly in Shen Yan's hand.

Shen Yan secretly refined blood pills for the Wang family and should have been protected by the Wang family. Why has he fallen to this point now?
What surprised Chu Ning even more was that when he robbed the Wang family escort team, Shen Yan could have chosen to betray him, but he didn't.

"kill him!"

A loud shout broke the silence.

A dozen warriors pressed forward, led by a middle-aged man in black. He held a narrow-bladed long sword, the tip of which gleamed coldly and exuded murderous intent.

Shen Yan was panting, with a hint of despair in his eyes.

After all, he was just a businessman. Even though he had good martial arts skills, he was exhausted under the siege of this group of desperate criminals.

The middle-aged man in black kicked Shen Yan, and his back hit the dead tree hard. The narrow-bladed long knife was already against his throat.

At the critical moment. Boom!
There was a thunderous explosion!
A purple-gold blade light descended from the sky, instantly shattering the long sword of the middle-aged man in black. The shock wave composed of ice crystals and lava raged in all directions, and more than ten killers screamed and flew backwards.

A figure stood on the thunder.

"Chu...Chun Ning?"

Shen Yan coughed up blood foam and looked at the white-haired young man who fell from the sky, his eyes full of shock.

On Chu Ning's shoulder, the little snow fox narrowed its scarlet pupils, and blood was dripping from its claws. It was the blood of the killer who rushed up first.

The other warriors' expressions changed drastically, and their hands holding the swords began to tremble slightly.

Chu Ning landed slowly, his golden eyes scanning everyone, his voice as cold as a knife: "Who gave you the courage to commit murder in broad daylight?"

The middle-aged man in black's heart was pounding wildly, and murderous intent was like ice water pouring down his head. He stared at Chu Ning intently, and suddenly gritted his teeth and roared: "Here comes a fearless person. Go! Kill him!"

Even though the Wang family's assassins were extremely frightened, they still suppressed their fear and charged forward with gritted teeth under the orders of their master.

"madness."

Chu Ning snorted coldly and disappeared in an instant.

boom!
The palm wind was wrapped with frost thunder, and the air instantly froze. The warrior's chest collapsed in an instant, and the sound of bones breaking was like firecrackers. The remaining body crashed into the ancient tree, and the blood mist, wood chips and ice crystals reflected a strange rainbow light in the sunlight.

Screams came and went.

Chu Ning's figure was like lightning, and wherever he passed, blood fell like snow in the wind.

In just a moment, more than ten warriors fell to the ground, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

The middle-aged man in black turned pale and ran away without hesitation.

"Want to run?"

The purple-gold blade light in Chu Ning's palm suddenly increased, and at that moment when it smashed the heart of the middle-aged man in black, a strand of white hair quietly fell on his shoulder.

puff!

The middle-aged man in black's heart exploded, his figure suddenly stopped, his eyes full of unwillingness, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

The little snow fox shrieked and leaped onto his wrist, its icy claws licking the skin burned by the blade. Chu Ning felt a chill surge through his meridians, easing the burning pain slightly, but suddenly he saw the newly frosted color of his temples reflected in the snow fox's pupils.

His pupils shrank slightly, and a storm surged in his heart.

"I see." He stroked the trembling back of the snow fox. "After using the Hunyuan Divine Order multiple times, the price of using the technique is actually lifespan."

At this time, a sudden change occurred!
The bodies of those dead soldiers mysteriously turned into blood and seeped into the ground, with black lotus patterns faintly emerging in the soil.

Chu Ning's heart sank.

The little snow fox suddenly pounced on the blood and swallowed one of the undissipated blood pills in one gulp. In an instant, its pupils turned red, and it let out a sharp roar, and its sharp claws tore at Chu Ning's throat!

"Awake!"

The lightning arc leaped from Chu Ning's fingertips and pierced the snow fox's eyebrows!

The ice-blue flame and the blood-red evil spirit clashed in the fox's pupils. After a long time, the little snow fox trembled all over and finally fell to the ground.

Shen Yan watched all this, standing there in shock.

He never thought that Chu Ning would be so powerful!

Chu Ning walked up to Shen Yan, his expression indifferent, and said slowly: "You owe me two lives."

"Now tell me, why did the Wang family want to kill you?"

Shen Yan's eyes flickered, as if he was hesitating. After a while, he took a deep breath and said in a low and trembling voice, "Because of the blood pill..."

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes.

"Blood Pill?"
