Ch 327: Old Man Liu

“Rumble…”

The steel arena shimmered with a cold light under the sunlight, like a silent steel behemoth, waiting for the earth-shattering battle that was about to erupt. The Great Xia Holy Emperor and the ant controlled by Su Ning, one glittering with golden light, the other containing mysterious and unpredictable power, were about to unfold a shocking one-on-one showdown here.

The Little People quietly watched this scene, anticipating the great battle between the Great Xia Holy Emperor and the ant controlled by Su Ning.

This was the ant controlled by Su Ning, after all.

Above the arena.

The Great Xia Holy Emperor was clad in golden dragon-patterned battle armor, each piece of armor seemingly forged through countless trials, exuding an indestructible aura. He wore a dazzling crown, its jewels shining brightly in the sunlight, like the brightest stars in the night sky. The Precious Sword in his hand had a slender blade, its entire body gleaming with a mysterious light, as if it could sever all evil in the world. The Holy Emperor stood at one end of the arena, his figure as upright as an ancient pine, his eyes firm and sharp, like an insurmountable mountain, exuding a powerful aura of a king.

At the other end of the arena, the ant lay quietly. Although its body was small, it exuded a strange aura. The ant’s shell was a deep black, as if dyed with ink, yet it faintly shimmered with a metallic luster under the sunlight. Its eyes flickered with red light, like two balls of burning flame, revealing coldness and determination. Under Su Ning’s control, this ant seemed to possess its own consciousness, filled with a desire for battle.

“Kill!” The Great Xia Holy Emperor Hou-ed.

The sound of the battle horn suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the arena. The Great Xia Holy Emperor launched the first attack. With a gentle wave of the Precious Sword in his hand, a dazzling ray of light shot towards the ant like lightning. Wherever the light passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound. The light was extremely fast, reaching the ant in an instant.

“Shua!”

However, the ant’s reaction was extremely agile. Under Su Ning’s control, it flashed to the side like a black lightning bolt, easily dodging the attack. The ant crawled quickly on the steel ground, its speed dazzling. Its six legs were like precise machines, each movement accurate and powerful, making a crisp sound on the steel ground.

Seeing that the first strike had missed, the Great Xia Holy Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly. He waved the Precious Sword again, this time the light on the sword was even more dazzling, as hot as the Taiyang. The light transformed into a huge Sword Qi, sweeping towards the ant. Wherever the Sword Qi went, the steel ground was cut with a deep mark, as if it had been cut by a huge blade.

The ant sensed the danger and immediately stopped. Under Su Ning’s control, the ant’s body began to change. Its body rapidly expanded, becoming like a Ferocious Beasts, actually growing a little bit. The ant’s shell also became harder, as if it were made of steel. The red light in its eyes became even more dazzling, like two raging fires.

The Sword Qi slammed into the ant’s body, making a loud noise.

“Bang!”

Sparks flew everywhere, and the ground of the steel arena trembled slightly. However, the ant stood there unscathed, without a scratch.

“Immortal Elder is still amazing.”

“To actually be able to transform the Chaos Demon Ant with just Willpower, the ant’s combat strength is now… not to be underestimated.”

“As expected of Immortal Elder.”

The Little People exclaimed.

Su Ning was too extraordinary.

“Boom…”

Su Ning controlled the ant, smashing a pincer towards the Great Xia Holy Emperor.

“Clang…”

The Great Xia Holy Emperor raised his fist to block.

A huge reaction force came from his fist, actually overturning the Great Xia Holy Emperor’s body.

“Shu!”

When the Great Xia Holy Emperor stabilized his body again, he realized… his hand was injured, with dense cracks, dripping drops of golden blood.

It looked extremely dangerous.

“Shua…”

The Great Xia Holy Emperor’s heart stirred, and the wound on his body recovered.

He charged towards Su Ning once again.

The Great Xia Holy Emperor frowned slightly, realizing that this ant was much stronger than he had imagined. But he did not retreat in the slightest, but instead stimulated his fighting spirit even more. He gripped the Precious Sword tightly, and the aura on his body continued to rise.

“Man and Sword as One!”

The Great Xia Holy Emperor threw out the Great Sword, merging with his own body.

In this instant, his physical body climbed several levels again.

With the combat power stacked, the Great Xia Holy Emperor’s lethality greatly increased.

“Kill.”

Under Su Ning’s control, the ant was not to be outdone. It quickly charged towards the Great Xia Holy Emperor, its speed as fast as lightning. The ant’s huge pincers waved, bringing up gusts of wind. The pincers flashed with a sharp light, as if they could easily cut through steel.

“Clang.”

The Great Xia Holy Emperor met it with a punch, actually blocking the ant’s pincers.

“Clang…”

Another strike.

The Great Xia Holy Emperor blocked it with his other fist as well.

The two fists attacked, actually faintly suppressing the ant.

“Puff…”

Su Ning controlled the ant’s large head to bite towards the Great Xia Holy Emperor.

Seeing this, the Great Xia Holy Emperor immediately dodged to the side. The ant’s big mouth slammed heavily on the steel ground, leaving a white mark. Some of the ant’s pincers shattered, and the fragments flew everywhere, shooting in all directions like bullets. The Great Xia Holy Emperor took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, drawing out the Plastic Precious Sword and engaging in a fierce close-quarters battle with the ant.

The sound of the sword and pincers colliding continued to ring out, and sparks bloomed like fireworks. Each collision contained tremendous power, causing the entire arena to shake. The Great Xia Holy Emperor’s Swordsmanship was exquisite, each sword strike carrying powerful force and precise angles. He sometimes stabbed at the ant’s eyes, sometimes slashed at the ant’s legs, trying to find the ant’s weaknesses.

“The Great Xia Holy Emperor… is so powerful.”

“He can actually suppress the ant controlled by Immortal Elder.”

“As expected of the Great Xia Holy Emperor.”

“Immortal Elder is at a great disadvantage, because the ant’s body Intensity seems to be insufficient to support his battle, otherwise it would be impossible to be suppressed.”

Under Su Ning’s control, the ant also displayed amazing combat skills. Its pincers waved flexibly, constantly resisting the Great Xia Holy Emperor’s attacks. Its body moved quickly, dodging the Great Xia Holy Emperor’s sword moves. The ant also launched counterattacks from time to time, using its body to ram into the Great Xia Holy Emperor, trying to knock him down.

The battle entered a feverish stage. The Great Xia Holy Emperor and the ant unfolded a thrilling chase on the steel arena. Their figures moved as fast as lightning, making it difficult to see clearly. White marks were left on the steel ground, which were the imprints of their battle.

The Great Xia Holy Emperor suddenly leaped high, and the Precious Sword in his hand drew a beautiful arc in the air. The aura on his body reached its peak, as if a god of war had descended into the world. He slashed down at the ant with a fierce sword strike, this sword containing all of his power.

The ant felt this powerful force, and it also stopped. Under Su Ning’s control, the ant’s body changed again. A layer of mysterious light appeared on its shell, like an indestructible shield.

The Precious Sword slashed heavily on the ant’s body, making a deafening roar. Sparks fell like a rainstorm.

“Hou.”

However, the ant was still not defeated. It let out an angry cry silently and charged towards the Great Xia Holy Emperor.

The Great Xia Holy Emperor was knocked back a few steps by the ant’s impact. He steadied his figure, his eyes revealing a firm determination. He knew that this battle must end as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and Su Ning might find an Opportunity to defeat him.

“Immortal Elder, please accept this move.”

He raised the Precious Sword again, chanting words in his mouth. The light on the Precious Sword began to become even more dazzling, as if the entire World was shrouded in this light. The Great Xia Holy Emperor poured all of his power into the Precious Sword, preparing to launch the final strike.

“heart and soul as one, Man and Sword as One!”

“Release!”

The ant also felt this powerful force, and it stopped. Under Su Ning’s control, the ant’s body began to tremble. It knew that this strike would be the key to determining victory or defeat.

The Great Xia Holy Emperor swung the Precious Sword violently, and a huge Sword Qi shot towards the ant. This Sword Qi contained all of the Great Xia Holy Emperor’s power, and its speed was so fast that it was unimaginable. Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the air was burned, leaving a long tail of flame.

“Bang…”

Su Ning controlled the ant’s big pincers to smash over.

“Break…”

The pincers were actually shattered by the Great Xia Holy Emperor’s strongest state.

Su Ning wanted to avoid its sharp edge.

He controlled the ant and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

The ant’s current physical body was no longer able to fight the Great Xia Holy Emperor. The difference was too great, and the ant couldn’t block it at all.

“Boom!”

The Sword Qi hit its body hard. The ant let out a shrill cry, its body was blasted away by the Sword Qi, and it fell heavily on the steel ground.

The steel arena fell into silence. The audience all widened their eyes, unable to believe the scene before them. The Great Xia Holy Emperor slowly walked towards the ant. He looked at the ant lying on the ground, feeling joy in his heart. He had finally won this battle, and no matter what the cost, he was very happy in his heart.

He turned to face the audience, raised the Precious Sword, and said loudly:

“Immortal Elder, I’ve won.”

“Not bad, not bad, you’ve improved quickly.” Su Ning nodded with a smile. He was also very happy that the Little People had made progress. He had raised them with great effort, afraid of them freezing when it was cold, afraid of them getting hot when it was hot, and afraid of them dying when they were sick… He had taken great care of them.

It was not easy to defeat the ant, so how could he not be happy?

Su Ning had a feeling of relief, like an old father who had finally raised his child.

The Great Xia Holy Emperor felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

He even felt that it seemed inappropriate: “This… Immortal Elder, I’m sorry… I got carried away just now and offended you, damaging your prestige.”

He was afraid that winning against Su Ning would make Su Ning unhappy and lose face, but Su Ning was not so petty, and would even be happy for their progress.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m also happy to see you improve so much.” Su Ning waved his hand, saying indifferently.

The Great Xia Holy Emperor actually defeated the ant.

This was the ant personally controlled by Su Ning.

The Great Xia Holy Emperor was excited in his heart.

The Little People were also very excited.

The Ascendants had finally become stronger.

After Ascensions for so long, they had finally… defeated the Chaos Demon Ant.

It was not easy.

Su Ning could feel that the Great Xia Holy Emperor still had some strength left.

“You’ve improved a lot.” Su Ning nodded.

“If there are no accidents, your combat power should be able to reach the combat power of a grasshopper or something.” Su Ning said.

In just over half a year, he had reached the combat power of a grasshopper. If he continued to Cultivation at this rate, it was not impossible to reach the combat power of a large animal in ten or eight years.

As expected of a Cultivator, this talent was Heaven Defying.

Of course, the Great Xia Holy Emperor had only defeated ordinary ants outside the Vegetable Garden. Even if they mutated, they were just ordinary physical bodies. If the opponent was an ant in the Vegetable Garden… controlled by Su Ning, even if the Great Xia Emperor could win, it would not be easy.

After all… the ants in the Vegetable Garden had also absorbed Spiritual Energy, and their physical fitness was constantly changing Spiritual Objects.

The Little People were getting stronger, and the ants in the Vegetable Garden were also getting stronger.

In any case, the Little People’s Cultivation had made remarkable progress.

From being completely defeated by ants in the past to being able to defeat ants now, this was a huge success.

…

The competition continued.

After the Great Xia Emperor, Li Qingxuan, Kunlun Fairy and others also took action.

They had all improved very quickly.

“This Kunlun Fairy… seems…” Su Ning took a deep look at Kunlun Fairy.

She… was different.

“She is hiding her strength… She has already been far ahead since she triggered Law, Heaven, and Earth unintentionally last time.” Su Ning said.

However, Kunlun Fairy did not intend to expose her strength, and Su Ning did not expose her either.

“After Enlightenment, she seems to be able to leap into a Dragon!”

“This Cultivation path is really full of variables.” Su Ning couldn’t help but sigh.

…

This Martial Arts Tournament ended quite successfully.

Su Ning roughly understood the Little People’s combat power.

It had already surpassed the ant.

They had become more powerful Creatures.

Watching them come over little by little, the Little People had not had it easy.

…

“Su Ning, someone is looking for you outside.” Jiang Xiaotao came to report.

Before Jiang Xiaotao reported, Su Ning had already sensed someone coming to visit.

Three black sedans drove from the newly built… asphalt road that was seven or eight meters wide, towards the Vegetable Garden.

These three cars were not luxury brands.

They were Red Flag Cars.

What was different was that these three cars were heavier than ordinary vehicles.

The glass was also very thick.

They were Bulletproof and bombproof.

It was obvious at a glance that they were special and specially supplied.

The asphalt road was built not long ago, at the request of Su Ning while playing Fight the Landlord with the Old Man on South Island.

Those Old Man obviously took it to heart.

Construction began soon after.

Originally, the construction team wanted to build a wide road of more than ten meters, but considering that this would be too high-profile and might disturb Su Ning, they narrowed the road a little.

Several people in black Zhongshan suits got out of the three black Red Flag Cars.

The one in the lead was amiable.

“Old Liu, why are we here?”

“Aren’t we going to find the best Doctor in the World for That Person?”

Some people were puzzled.

Old Liu was stern and imposing: “After following me for so long, don’t you know what you should ask and what you shouldn’t ask?”

“It seems that your Grassroots Level work experience is still not enough.”

Hearing this, the talkative Young People were frightened.

“Old Liu, I was wrong, I won’t be talkative.” The Young People immediately apologized.

“After you go back, go to the Grassroots Level to train for a few years before talking.” Old Liu said.

The Young People’s faces turned pale.

Old Liu’s words could be said to have cut off their brilliant future.

Being demoted from the power center to work at the Grassroots Level, how could they still have a future?

And this result was only because of a few words.

The people around them also immediately realized… this trip was not simple.

They dared not speak again, for fear of saying something Taboo.
