Jiang Ning snapped Ren Yingying's neck.

Chapter 737: Breaking Through the Realm

Jiang Ning killed Ren Yingying without hesitation.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

In her final moments before death, Ren Yingying felt no fear; she stared intently at Jiang Ning.

It's as if I want to remember Jiangning's appearance forever.

Jiang Ning casually threw Ren Yingying's body on the ground.

When Jiang Ning ruthlessly snapped Ren Yingying's neck, Ren Woxing's expression remained unchanged.

But when he saw Jiang Ning discard Ren Yingying as if she were trash, the look in his eyes changed.

If Ren Woxing truly felt no fatherly affection for Ren Yingying whatsoever?

That's not entirely true.

Ren Woxing knew that Ren Yingying had fallen into Jiang Ning's hands and had almost no hope of survival.

He understood that Jiang Ning was the type of person who wouldn't act until he saw a clear benefit; even if he released Liu Zhengfeng, Jiang Ning might not spare Ren Yingying's life.

Given this, Ren Woxing had no choice but to make a severance package.

But the unusual look in Ren Woxing's eyes flashed by in an instant. He looked at Jiang Ning and Qu Yang, a cold smile on his face.

"Alright, now you've run out of chips, but Liu Zhengfeng is still in my hands. What do you want to choose?"

Jiang Ning did not respond, but simply placed his hand on the hilt of the Zhenwu Sword.

"Uncle Liu."

Jiang Ning spoke up, saying to Liu Zhengfeng, "If I fail to rescue you today, I will definitely avenge you."

Ren Woxing's expression gradually faded as he saw Jiang Ning's hand gestures and heard his words.

He understood what Jiang Ning meant.

He did not compromise just because Ren Yingying was in Jiang Ning's hands. Would Jiang Ning just surrender because Liu Zhengfeng was in his hands?

Jiang Ning had already prepared himself for the possibility of failing to rescue Liu Zhengfeng before he arrived, so why did he still come?

Firstly, upon hearing that Liu Zhengfeng had been exposed and was in danger, he could not stand idly by.

Secondly, if he cannot rescue Liu Zhengfeng today, he will kill Ren Woxing and his daughter to avenge Liu Zhengfeng no matter what.

As for the concern that Liu Zhengfeng was in Ren Woxing's hands and thus surrendered without resistance?

Jiang Ning never considered that reality is not a TV drama, and he would never act out such a melodramatic plot.

If he were to surrender because of Liu Zhengfeng, then both he and Liu Zhengfeng would die here today.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengfeng showed no anger or sadness; instead, he smiled with relief.

"it is good."

"Avenge me!"

Liu Zhengfeng wasn't afraid of death; he was afraid of dragging Jiang Ning down with him. Now that he heard Jiang Ning say this, he finally felt relieved.

Qu Yang couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ning after hearing his words.

With such a temperament and such formidable strength, it's no wonder he became Ren Yingying's inescapable inner demon, causing them immense trouble.

Zheng!

Without any preamble, Jiang Ning instantly drew his True Martial Sword and charged towards the crowd.

Jiang Ning is now proving with his actions that he is not just talking.

Seeing Jiang Ning act without hesitation, Ren Woxing's face darkened, and he rushed forward the next second.

boom!

Jiang Ning unleashed a massive sword aura, forcing Ren Woxing to halt his advance and dodge it.

Jiang Ning glanced sideways at Ren Woxing, then ignored him and began to wreak havoc in the crowd, showing no intention of heading towards Liu Zhengfeng.

Given the current situation, if he were to show any intention to save Liu Zhengfeng, Liu Zhengfeng's danger would inevitably escalate rapidly. This is exactly what he has done to attract the attention of Ren Woxing and the other members of the Demonic Sect.

Someone will take this opportunity to save Liu Zhengfeng.

really.

After Jiangning took action.

At this moment, Qu Yang also made his move, quickly rushing towards Liu Zhengfeng's direction.

call out!call out!call out!

Qu Yang flicked his wrist, and several black needles shot out, causing several members of the Demonic Sect to fall to the ground.

Qu Yang quickly arrived at Liu Zhengfeng's side, used several more Black Blood Divine Needles to kill the others, and saved Liu Zhengfeng.

At this point, Ren Woxing already knew that it was impossible to use Liu Zhengfeng to restrain Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning was now wreaking havoc, so Liu Zhengfeng's side had far fewer people, which allowed Qu Yang to successfully rescue Liu Zhengfeng.

"Brother Liu!"

Qu Yang looked at Liu Zhengfeng, who was covered in wounds, and couldn't help but feel worried. He then took out some medicine from his pocket and fed it to Liu Zhengfeng.

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng looked at Qu Yang with complicated emotions, unsure of what to say.

Qu Yang made him this way, but now Qu Yang is willing to betray Ren Woxing to save him.

Liu Zhengfeng's feelings were very complicated at this moment.

Looking at Liu Zhengfeng's expression, Qu Yang said.

“Brother Liu, I, Qu Yang, have not told you a single lie. I did indeed follow Ren Yingying’s orders to deliberately befriend you, but I have never deceived you. I truly consider you my lifelong confidant.”

"What I told you, that I would leave the Sun Moon Sect after you retire from the martial world, was not an empty promise. I really thought about it. I originally planned to tell the Holy Maiden that I was leaving the sect after you retired from the martial world, and then the two of us would enjoy the mountains and rivers and no longer get involved in the troubles of the martial world."

"But I never expected that the Songshan Sect would sabotage things, causing the deaths of my sister-in-law, Jing'er, and Liu Yin. This was not my intention!"

Faced with Qu Yang's sincere words, Liu Zhengfeng remained silent.

"grandfather!"

Just then, Qu Feiyan ran over from a distance.

In fact, she had arrived long ago and witnessed Jiang Ning holding Ren Yingying hostage while Qu Yang was standing by. However, she did not step forward but cleverly hid herself and only ran out when the battle became chaotic.

Seeing Qu Yang sacrifice himself to save Liu Zhengfeng, and hearing Qu Yang's words, Qu Feiyan's expression was complicated, and she looked sad.

She had already guessed it.

She knew all along that Qu Yang would do this.

"Non-smoking?"

Qu Yang also saw his granddaughter. His gaze dimmed for a moment, but he immediately called out to Qu Feiyan.

"Go, let's go!"

"Don't worry about Grandpa."

"Get far away and never come back!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan looked deeply saddened, but she didn't stop and turned to flee.

Before fleeing, she glanced back at Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng, then gritted her teeth and left without looking back.

Qu Yang then turned to look at Liu Zhengfeng's shoulders and said.

"Brother Liu, please bear with it."

After saying that, Qu Yang quickly pulled out the two hooks that had pierced Liu Zhengfeng's collarbone.

Liu Zhengfeng's already healed wound started bleeding again.

"uh-huh."

Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, his brows furrowing.

Qu Yang then applied hemostatic medicine to Liu Zhengfeng's wound, and Liu Zhengfeng's condition finally stabilized.

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng also felt his internal energy begin to flow smoothly.

His collarbone was pierced, which was equivalent to locking the gates of his Ren and Du meridians, preventing his internal energy from circulating throughout his body's meridians. It was as if his energy had been crippled. Now that the hook that pierced his collarbone has been removed, his internal energy can circulate again.

"not good!"

Liu Zhengfeng, who had just recovered his internal energy, suddenly changed his expression. Before he could speak, he looked towards Jiang Ning.

At this moment, Jiang Ning was fighting Ren Woxing.

"Star Absorbing Technique!"

Ren Woxing shouted, and a powerful suction force was generated in his palm, grabbing towards Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning had already anticipated this and leaped away from the spot.

Yue Buqun had already told him that Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique was very strange; it could extract a person's internal energy from a distance without physical contact and also had a restraining effect.

Jiang Ning is currently surrounded, so he naturally won't risk being tied down.

Jiang Ning's lightness skill was extremely fast, allowing him to dodge Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique. However, several members of the Demonic Sect suffered the consequences, instantly being drained of their life force by Ren Woxing.

"Humph!"

Ren Woxing snorted coldly, showing no concern for the lives of his men, and continued to pursue Jiang Ning.

At this point in the battle, Jiang Ning was not injured, but he was in a fierce struggle.

He had exhausted too much of his internal energy in the last battle and had not fully recovered yet. Now he was surrounded again, and Ren Woxing was extremely strong. Even Yue Buqun did not gain the upper hand when fighting him.

Now that Ren Woxing has taken action and is fighting Jiang Ning, and they are surrounded by densely packed members of the Demonic Sect, Jiang Ning is in grave danger.

Ren Woxing is extremely strong. Even if Jiang Ning were at his peak, defeating or even killing him would not be easy. Moreover, he is currently surrounded, which makes the difficulty skyrocket.

But Jiang Ning didn't panic much at this moment.

Firstly, it's his personality; the more intense and fierce the battle, the less fear and panic he experiences.

The more desperate the situation, the stronger his fighting power becomes.

Secondly, Jiang Ning could sense that his cultivation level seemed to be loosening.

Ever since he perfected the fourth level of his Innate Skill, Jiang Ning had been stuck at that level, unable to break through. No matter how many times he tried, he couldn't overcome the bottleneck, as if he was trapped there.

But during the last great battle, he single-handedly stormed into the rear of the Demonic Sect and slaughtered everyone. Although he was in danger at that time, he felt that the bottleneck seemed to have loosened a little.

However, he still failed to make a breakthrough in the end.

Jiang Ning originally wanted to take advantage of these few days of cultivation to break through his bottleneck in one go, but Liu Zhengfeng's matter came so suddenly that he didn't have time to break through before he hurriedly came with Qu Yang to rescue Liu Zhengfeng.

But now, amidst the battle, he felt the thrill of breaking through to a higher realm.

Jiang Ning had a premonition that he would be able to break through the bottleneck and reach the fifth level of the Innate Skill in this battle.

But at that moment, the archers of the demonic sect in the distance were ready, drawing their bows and nocking arrows in this direction. The next second, countless arrows shot out, streaking across the air like silver streaks.

These are all poisoned arrows; if they stick to the skin, they will erode flesh and bone.

At this moment, several members of the demonic sect who were besieging him were accidentally injured, and their wounds rotted and exposed bone in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, several more arrows came flying through the air. Ren Woxing increased his attack and entangled Jiang Ning, preventing him from retreating for the time being.

Feeling the whooshing sound behind him, Jiang Ning frowned.

"careful!"

Without hesitation, Liu Zhengfeng rushed into the crowd and shielded Jiang Ning from the poisoned arrows.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Jiang Ning turned around abruptly, only to see Liu Zhengfeng, who had shielded him from several arrows, coughing up blood and on the verge of death.

Because he was wounded by a poisoned arrow, the blood flowing from Liu Zhengfeng's body was black.

However, Liu Zhengfeng was not afraid of death at this moment; he was happy that he had blocked the poisoned arrow for Jiang Ning.
