Chapter 965 - 324: Ambush
Rushing water~~
On a certain ordinary path across the Chaotic Star Sea.
A robust man in gray attire, with a common appearance, slowly emerged from the void.
"It’s around here."
Ning Shiyi murmured softly.
He floated in the void, a powerful perception spreading out, enveloping all directions.
His hands quickly formed seals, and a faint milky white energy flowed from within him, covering the entire void.
This is a unique bloodline power of the Ning Family.
As the milky white energy spread out, in Ning Shiyi’s eyes, special trajectories began to appear throughout the void.
"On the island!"
"This guy has an astonishing mastery in space manipulation, can’t let him escape."
Ning Shiyi thought to himself.
His right hand lightly tapped the storage pouch, and a gray umbrella appeared in his hand.
The umbrella looked quite ordinary, but it exuded a mysterious aura.
This was the Gray Wood Sky-fixing Umbrella, a powerful magical treasure granted by Ning Wenyuan, possessing strong abilities to interfere with space.
Used specifically to deal with cultivators adept in space rules.
Ning Shiyi’s thoughts moved, energy flowed through his arm into the Gray Wood Sky-fixing Umbrella, from which strands of chaotic gray mist emanated.
His right hand lightly tossed it.
The Gray Wood Sky-fixing Umbrella drifted above Ning Shiyi’s head, its surface lightly rotating, scattering strands of gray mist.
Moments later, the Sky-fixing Umbrella vanished into the void, seemingly never existing.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"This magical treasure looks good, should be worth a lot of Spirit Stones."
Lin Zheyu stood on a large tree on the island, perceiving the presence of Ning Shiyi in the void, and commented with interest.
In his sea of consciousness, the golden Celestial Eye opened, looking at the Gray Wood Sky-fixing Umbrella hidden in the void.
Strands of chaotic gray mist possessed a mysterious power capable of interfering with space rules, disrupting the void around Ning Shiyi.
This patch of void, centering on Ning Shiyi, continued extending and expanding outward, gradually encompassing the entire island below.
However, Lin Zheyu remained unmoved.
He stayed here, refusing to leave, aiming to set a trap to lure out these malicious figures hidden in the dark.
"Such powerful Qi Blood energy."
"There is a powerful strength within, the aura resembles Ning Jia’an, probably a martial artist of the Ning Family bloodline."
"Ning Jia’an holds considerable status in the Ning Family, to even command a strong Shackled Realm expert."
Lin Zheyu marveled.
In his perception, the middle-aged man in the void possessed Shackled Realm strength.
The golden Celestial Eye observed the rusted five shackles within the man, deeply embedded into his flesh.
Only one of these five shackles was fully solidified.
The rest had not even formed outlines, existing in a mysterious, special state.
But Lin Zheyu had the golden Celestial Eye, allowing him to see the yet-to-solidify, illusory Heavenly Dao shackles within Ning Shiyi.
"Five shackles remain, just a martial artist who broke two shackles."
"Although possessing unique bloodline power, the strength should be around the peak of Early Stage of Golden Elixir."
"This guy really holds grudges, sending a two-shackle-breaking expert."
"If he’s slain here, even the Ning Family would feel the pain."
Lin Zheyu’s lips slightly curved up, revealing a cold smile.
As far as he knew.
The Ning Family was merely a Divinity Transformation Clan, with one powerhouse built from the entire clan’s resources.
In such clans, every Shackled Realm expert is critically important, a formidable combat force.
If they were to perish here, even Ning Wenyuan would struggle to explain.
"Here he comes!"
Lin Zheyu’s heart moved slightly.
The Martial Arts Divine Pattern related to the Heavenly Deceit Skill on his body had already fully activated, flowing with golden luminescence.
The Qi Blood energy within him surged rapidly.
His right hand tightly gripped the hilt, brewing mighty momentum within, tiny void rifts randomly appeared around the blade’s edge, only to extinguish again.
Zing~~~
Ning Shiyi moved slightly, a milky white energy surrounded him, his aura swiftly diminished, as if merging into the void, disappearing.
Seeing this, Lin Zheyu on the island couldn’t help but exclaim lightly.
"So this is the power of the Ning Family’s bloodline?"
"Contains spatial power, merging into the void and obscuring aura?"
Lin Zheyu’s eyes flashed with brilliance, a delighted smile spread across his face.
This was another formidable way to conceal presence.
Though deeply versed in space rules, owing to limited mastery time, Lin Zheyu hadn’t developed many techniques yet.
Currently, his best applications were integrating into the Seven Extremes Blade’s attack method and merging with the Shrinking Earth Skill’s lightweight technique.
"Interesting..."
"This technique can be integrated not only into the Heavenly Deceit Skill but also into the Shrinking Earth Skill!"
In Lin Zheyu’s mind, sparks of inspiration surged like a fountain.
The golden Celestial Eye in the sea of consciousness focused intently on Ning Shiyi’s rapidly moving figure, seeking more profound insights from him.
Ning Shiyi moved swiftly.
He followed the traces left in the void, pursuing all the way to the island.
The distance between the two of them became closer and closer.
Lin Zheyu gently tightened his grip on the long blade, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
It’s a pity this guy is an enemy.
