Hearing this, Ye Yuanjuan’s face flushed.
It seemed Qin Ning had long since discovered something amiss.
It was just that her Spirit Sea Stage 4 cultivation meant she still couldn’t react as quickly as him.
Qin Ning looked ahead and slowly said, “Since you’ve arrived, then come out!”
“Not going home to sleep with your wife and children in the middle of the night, waiting in the cold wind like this, surely it’s not to admire the moon and stars, is it?”
A whooshing sound echoed as figures appeared on the street, surrounding the three of them.
“Ah…”
Seeing the blurry figures, Ling Xiaofei suddenly screamed.
“Don’t be afraid!”
Qin Ning reassured her, “They’re just a bunch of rats and dogs, you don’t need to worry!”
“Okay!”
Ling Xiaofei nodded, pressing close to Qin Ning.
“Haha, little brat, you’re about to die and you’re still so stubborn!”
A slightly hoarse voice slowly rang out.
Among the dozens of figures, the leader wore black armor and a cloth mask over his face, looking at Qin Ning and the others.
Ye Yuanjuan drew her sword and said coldly, “This is Beiming City. You dare to harm people in the dead of night, have you considered the consequences?”
“Miss Ye!”
The leader chuckled, “A beauty of such national renown as you, what are you doing with this brat? As long as Miss Ye leaves this place, I guarantee that nothing here will concern you!”
Hearing this, Ye Yuanjuan stepped forward, a hint of killing intent slowly gathering between her brows.
“Very well, if that’s what you wish, then I won’t mind trampling on a beautiful flower!”
“Ye Yuanjuan, watch over Xiaofei!”
Qin Ning spoke directly at this moment.
“It’s just a rabble, and it just so happens that I also want to see, who, which one of you wants to kill me!”
Qin Ning stepped forward.
Ye Yuanjuan wanted to join the fight, but seeing Qin Ning’s determined gaze, she retreated, standing in front of Ling Xiaofei.
Qin Ning clapped his hands, looked at the dozen or so figures, and said, “Tell me, are you people from Mingzhe or from the Xu family?”
“The dead don’t need to know such things!”
The leader snorted and said, “You stinking brat, prepare to die!”
As soon as his words fell, the leader directly launched an attack, his internal aura erupting. He was at Spirit Sea Stage 4.
At the same time, the two figures on either side also charged forward, their killing intent directed at Qin Ning.
These two had reached Spirit Sea Stage 3.
At this moment, the three figures charged straight at Qin Ning without any mercy, their swords and blades flashing with cold light.
“Who exactly doesn’t know how to live or die?”
Qin Ning sneered, took a step forward, and threw a punch.
Flying Dragon Long Fist!
A punch tore through the wind, condensing an invisible fist force.
The three figures were blocked before they could even get close to Qin Ning.
Seeing this, Qin Ning advanced again, reaching out with one hand to grab.
However, these three cooperated extremely sharply, retreating backward. In their first confrontation, neither side could gain the upper hand.
Seeing this, Qin Ning was also slightly surprised.
These three coordinated perfectly; otherwise, one of them would have died just now.
“It seems your origins are truly not simple!”
Qin Ning clapped his hands.
“This brat has reached Spirit Sea Stage 2!”
The leader snorted and said, “It seems this brat has advanced another stage!”
“Boss, just kill him, no matter how many stages he’s advanced, tonight is the night he disappears!”
“Right!”
The three figures charged forward again.
At this moment, Qin Ning sneered and also charged forward.
“Ah…”
But at this moment, a scream suddenly rang out.
Ling Xiaofei’s face was pale as she looked around.
“Qin Ning Gege, save us…”
Qin Ning turned his head and suddenly saw two formations slowly rising beside Ling Xiaofei and Ye Yuanyuan.
At this moment, two figures in white appeared on their left and right.
“Ye Yuanyuan has awakened the Imperial Body, a genius of the Ye family, a noble disciple of the Heavenly God Academy. It would truly be a pity to kill her!”
One of the figures in white said.
“However, anyone who stands in our way must be dealt with!”
The other figure also said with a faint smile.
“Spirit Array Master!”
Qin Ning’s expression was no longer calm at this moment.
The two overlapping formations were Level 1 Spirit Arrays.
A Level 1 Spirit Array, even the simplest one, could trap and kill martial artists from the first to third layers of the Spirit Sea Realm.
At this moment, Ye Yuanyuan’s Imperial Body activated. She held a long sword in her hand, and her sword techniques flew rapidly, defending within the array.
However, the two overlapping Spirit Arrays made it difficult even for a martial artist at the fourth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm like Ye Yuanyuan to resist!
“Level 1 Spirit Array, Decaying Spirit Array!”
“Level 1 Spirit Array, Hundred Kill Array!”
Qin Ning said indifferently.
“You have some knowledge!” one of the white-robed figures said with a faint smile. “The Decaying Spirit Array weakens the opponent, and then the Hundred Kill Array finishes them off. To deal with Ye Yuanyuan, we’ve put in quite a bit of effort!”
“You lot over there, hurry up and act.”
A white-robed figure looked to the opposite side, a smirk on his face.
“Understood!”
At this moment, three black-robed figures coordinated their attacks, slashing towards Qin Ning.
“Scram!”
Qin Ning snorted and struck forward with his hand again.
“Asura Flame Seal!”
A powerful roar echoed as a seal from his palm was directly unleashed.
*Pfft…*
Immediately, the seal caused the area in front to explode. The figure on the left who directly confronted the seal was hit by the explosion, and fresh blood splattered everywhere.
The remaining two figures were completely stunned.
“Liu Han, Zhan Hao, you two, quickly activate the formations and kill that little girl and Ye Yuanyuan!”
A black-robed figure shouted loudly.
He hadn’t expected Qin Ning to explode with such powerful force in an instant.
This was truly unbelievable.
At the second layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, how could his spiritual energy be so strong?
Moreover, the Flame Seal just now had erupted with terrifying power.
It could make a martial artist at the third layer of the Spirit Sea Realm unable to resist, ultimately exploding into pieces and dying!
“Understood!”
The two white-robed figures continuously unleashed spirit seals, striking towards the spirit arrays, intending to directly kill Ling Xiaofei and Ye Yuanyuan.
With a *pfft*, Ye Yuanyuan’s body almost fell. A wound appeared, creating a gap in her defense. Another *pfft* sounded, and a bloodstain suddenly appeared on Ling Xiaofei’s arm.
“Waa…”
In an instant, Ling Xiaofei burst into tears.
After all, Ling Xiaofei was just a seven or eight-year-old girl. How could she not panic when her life was being threatened?
“You are courting death!”
Qin Ning turned around and attacked.
“Stop him! Stop him at all costs, dead or alive!” the leading black-robed figure immediately said.
Many sounds of tearing wind continuously echoed.
One by one, they used their bodies to block Qin Ning.
They were no match for Qin Ning at all, but they dared not disobey their master’s orders!
Even if he could blast away several figures who rushed out to block him, Qin Ning’s footsteps were still halted.
Not long after, more bloodstains appeared on Ye Yuan's body.
A first-grade spirit formation was no joke.
A powerful first-grade spirit formation could even cause a ninth-level Spirit Sea Realm martial artist to die with regret if they were careless.
"Damn it!"
Qin Ning's face was extremely cold. At this moment, it was already too late to rush over.
"If you want to die, I will grant your wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ning lowered his body, his hands touching the ground, and suddenly, a loud bang echoed from the ground.
