Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 643: Chapter 288: Two Patriarchs (Part 4)

This old ox seems simple and honest, but he actually understands people deeply.

His words explained why the Feather Transformation Upper Sect sent a giant from the Integration Realm to try and eliminate the Infinite Sword Sect, while he remained unmoved.

Thus, Ning Qi said:

"Brother Niu, you know I don’t fight unprepared battles. Since I’m ready to take action, there must be a strategy in place."

Ning Qi welcomed the demons into the grand hall.

Niu Dingtian said:

"But when the Infinite Sword Sect faced trouble and my Niu Mo Upper Sect didn’t arrive, I felt quite embarrassed."

Ning Qi waved his hand indifferently.

"Brother Niu, don’t say that. Last time when the Infinite Sword Sect faced danger from the Beixuan Upper Sect’s Integration Realm ancestor, I was only at the Void Path Realm. Brother Niu came personally, showing immense goodwill."

"Now I’ve luckily broken through to Integration Realm and feel somewhat confident about dealing with the Feather Transformation Upper Sect people, so I didn’t invite Brother Niu."

"Moreover, if I’m unable to resist, I will naturally send someone to ask Brother Niu to come and assist."

Upon hearing this, Niu Dingtian felt a bit relieved.

Indeed, he had been negligent but never expected Ning Qi to break through to Integration Realm so quickly. Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have secluded himself.

Niu Dingtian saw clearly; Ning Qi is certainly not someone to be underestimated. If he doesn’t assist him before he rises, he might only look up to him later.

Fortunately, Ning Qi didn’t mind.

Ning Qi naturally wouldn’t mind.

Originally, he sent the Sword Ancestor to Niu Mo Upper Sect for help just to deal with the elders within the Infinite Sword Sect who feared the Beixuan Upper Sect.

At that time, Ning Qi secretly left and transformed into Master Zhanxuan to obliterate Beixuan Upper Sect alone.

Back then, he wasn’t afraid of the Integration Realm, let alone now?

Nonetheless, the current friendship between the two sects is beneficial for both.

The rest within the Infinite Sword Sect weren’t aware of Ning Qi’s depth; having more allies also boosts confidence among the disciples.

So they don’t constantly worry about potential retaliation from the Feather Transformation Upper Sect.

Soon, Ning Qi finished hosting the demons.

Niu Dingtian looked at Ning Qi, hesitating to speak.

"Brother Niu, if you have something to say, feel free." Ning Qi said generously.

Niu Dingtian scratched his head, saying embarrassedly:

"Now that Brother Ning has entered Integration Realm, I’d like to spar with you to see how your Qiu Niu Divine Form is displayed under Integration Realm. I wonder if you, Brother..."

Ning Qi straightforwardly said, "Let’s duel then."

Hence, the two appeared again in the plaza amongst the central peaks.

The news of the duel between two Integration Realm practitioners spread throughout the Infinite Sword Sect, attracting many spectators.

Last time they fought, only a few people were present, but now, their sect leader senior brother is fighting against Niu Dingtian, who is at Unity Realm Perfection. How could they not attend?

Countless figures flew to the plaza and quietly took their seats.

Niu Dingtian and Ning Qi exchanged no extra words and simultaneously made their move.

Niu Dingtian, as before, shrank his size to match Ning Qi.

Both man and demon simultaneously displayed the Qiu Niu Divine Form, with their bodies automatically emitting rule-based divine shadows, forming the shape of Qiu Niu.

The two Qiu Niu shadows crossed the void simultaneously and collided with each other.

Moo!

The ox’s roar shook the heavens yet wasn’t piercing.

From it, the crowd discerned multiple musical scales, merging into a single sound, extremely mystical.

The legendary Qiu Niu indeed loved music, almost like the music god, with many earthly lutes bearing its carved form.

The two continually clashed in the void, and every collision included blows to the flesh, yet the resulting sound was pleasing to the ears, making everyone feel it contained something they didn’t understand.

It’s no wonder they didn’t understand.

Both man and demon practiced the Qiu Niu Divine Form, not only as a form of the divine beast but as music from the divine beast.

Every one of their blows wasn’t just a clash of flesh but a clash of rules, embedding sound waves into the attack to impact the opponent during the offensive.

Those who didn’t understand would inevitably be penetrated by the sound waves infused with rule-based divine power, causing unconscious disturbances in consciousness with emotions such as tension, impulsiveness, anger, fear... all imbued in the sound.

Their rule-based sound could also disperse the opponent’s internal rules, and the longer the fight goes on, the more disadvantageous it becomes.

Decades of seclusion, both had improved.

Niu Dingtian’s Qiu Niu didn’t seem foolish like last time but was more agile, as if he’d truly transformed himself into the divine beast Qiu Niu.

They had fought countless rounds, and finally, Niu Dingtian suddenly fell into the plaza and created a deep pit.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Niu Dingtian climbed out of the pit, gasping for air, looking at Ning Qi who hovered in the void with a relaxed demeanor.

This time, he used all his strength but still couldn’t defeat Ning Qi, instead falling from the void because of him.

Had he not perceived Ning Qi holding back, Niu Dingtian felt he might have lost within twenty rounds.

At this moment, his body was weak and powerless, even unable to gather his rules.

Of course, Niu Dingtian knew it was temporary since Ning Qi wasn’t ruthless.

Niu Dingtian gazed eagerly at Ning Qi’s displayed Qiu Niu Divine Form, his eyes wide like bronze bells.

Last time, Ning Qi used Void Path Realm cultivation to condense the Qiu Niu Divine Form in the void to fight him. This time, he truly used his physical body to display the Qiu Niu Divine Form.

Niu Dingtian quietly compared Ning Qi’s form, astonished to realize that even though he learned the Qiu Niu Divine Form from Ning Qi, Ning Qi’s display was still more perfected than his own.

Niu Dingtian felt an illusion, as if Ning Qi’s Qiu Niu had other forms and divine intents.

As if everyone was a monkey, some focused on doing monkey things, which was already difficult, but others used the monkey body to perform seventy-two transformations.

Niu Dingtian was precisely the former, while Ning Qi was the godly monkey who had learned the seventy-two transformations.

The spectators remained silent.

Everyone in the arena had understood the situation.

Unity Realm Perfection’s Niu Dingtian lost to their sect leader senior brother.

And judging by his appearance, he seemed to have lost with extreme satisfaction!
