C20 The Sword Energy Swept up Two Green Snakes.

"Phew..."

A breeze swept by, allowing the newcomer to slip past the Irontalons' mountain gate undetected.

His presence was ghost-like, seamlessly blending into the shadows.

Unseen by the patrolling disciples, he moved with stealth.

With a swift gesture, he incapacitated a lone patroller:

"Where does your Eldest Senior Brother, Ye Ning, reside?"

The disciple tensed up at the question.

"I—I don't know!"

The intruder was after the Eldest Senior Brother, the beacon of hope for the Irontalons. He couldn't let any harm come to him!

The man in black's brow furrowed.

"Hmm? Not talking?"

He knew the disciple was withholding information, not genuinely ignorant.

"Seeking your own demise!"

His palm turned, conjuring a sinister black glow.

No mercy was to be expected from a Devil Dao disciple.

Just then, a voice cut through the air:

"Friend from the Nether Hall, if you've come for me, Ye Ning, why lurk in the shadows?"

Sword qi burst forth in an instant, a forty-meter expanse of pure energy.

The shadowy figure, caught off guard, hastily retreated, abandoning the patrolling disciple.

"Huff... Huff..."

Gasping for air, the disciple was soaked in sweat, narrowly escaping death.

Ye Ning regarded him with a smile, "Lee Yu, your courage is commendable."

Channeling his Qi, Ye Ning transferred a surge of strength into Lee Yu, who felt revitalized.

"Eldest Senior Brother!"

His relief was palpable, grateful for the timely rescue.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Ye Ning's reassurance was firm, though his expression grew serious.

"Good thing I reviewed the plot today; it nearly led to catastrophe."

The original story didn't dwell on this scene, but it was a crucial setup.

The intruder was none other than the Little Underworld King, a formidable youth from the Nether Hall, intent on challenging or even assassinating Ye Ning.

Ye Ning's ascension to the Golden Core Realm was the talk of the Cultivation World, drawing the attention of both the Swiftglades Sect and the Demonic Cult.

The Demonic Cult's disciples, known for their valor and ferocity, acted with reckless abandon.

Fortunately, Ye Ning's recollection of the plot had brought him here in time to stand guard.

Otherwise, Junior Brother Lee Yu might have been a casualty.

Though not well-acquainted, Ye Ning held a deep respect for life and was moved by the disciple's willingness to die rather than betray him.

Unsure of when the Little Underworld King would return, Ye Ning had decided to wait, and as fate would have it, his adversary arrived just as he recalled the plot.

Sometimes, timing is everything.

Now, Ye Ning stood tall, gazing down at the Little Underworld King from his vantage point.

The Little Underworld King, taken aback, exclaimed, "Ye Ning, you actually detected my presence?"

His stealthy approach had been noticed immediately upon arrival.

This was beyond belief.

He had acted on a whim, following a sudden inspiration.

So, it was impossible that someone had tipped him off.

There could only be one explanation: Ye Ning's spiritual awareness was extraordinarily strong.

Or perhaps his sensitivity was just that acute.

He must have sensed my arrival the moment I set foot here!

Ye Ning mused internally, "Could I possibly tell you that I'm aware of the plot, and you're as blind as a bat? What a coincidence to run into you today."

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze deep and detached.

"Sir, you must be the Little Ming King, whose name is quickly spreading throughout the Nether Hall?"

"I'm curious about the purpose of your visit."

The Little Underworld King chuckled and replied, "Hahaha, Ye Ning, oh Ye Ning, you've truly lived up to my expectations."

"I've come specifically to seek you out!"

"Let's battle and test the true weight of your Golden Core."

He burst into a boisterous laugh, exuding supreme confidence.

With his words still hanging in the air, he bellowed,

"Sword Qi ascends from the Netherworld, the Yellow Springs engulf life and death."

With this technique unleashed, darkness enveloped the sky, and a surge of Underworld Qi rolled in.

The formidable force plunged the Irontalons into an abyssal nightmare!

The Devil Dao's power was always so enigmatic and fearsome, capturing the soul.

And the Little Underworld King was no slouch in strength either!

Though not yet at the Golden Core Stage, he was at the peak of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier.

Audacious and brash, the Little Underworld King had come today to make his mark through Ye Ning!

To strike down a Golden Core cultivator while only at the Spiritual Pedestal Tier!

His target was none other than the renowned Eldest Senior Brother of the Irontalons, a rising star of the Righteous Dao.

Such a feat would instantly crown him as the preeminent figure among the Devil Dao's younger generation!

The disciples of the Irontalons, witnessing this, felt their courage falter as if their very lives were being swallowed by the encroaching aura.

But then, in that critical moment!

"Hmph, you dare flaunt such petty tricks?"

"Qing Xuan, sever life and death with a single slash!"

A burst of Green Lotus Sword Qi erupted!

And so, amidst the infernal depths, Green Lotuses bloomed everywhere.

The radiant sword qi, like a vast river, lay between hell and the mortal realm.

A single stroke of the sword obliterated all that the Little Underworld King had mustered.

Only four words could do justice to such a display:

Utterly devastating!

"Huh?!"

As the scene unfolded, the Little Underworld King was profoundly shaken.

"He's so powerful!"

He had known before arriving that the Eldest Senior Brother of the Irontalons was not to be underestimated.

But he had never anticipated such an overwhelming defeat.

"Retreat!"

"Nine Nether Void Shadow Escape Technique!"

The Little Underworld King's figure stuttered, transforming into a shadow, ready to flee.

This escape technique, a deeply esoteric art of the Netherworld Demon Sect, was bizarre in its execution.

It was said that one could escape with ease wherever shadows were cast.

Ye Ning narrowed his eyes, "Humph, trying to run?"

"Think you can strut and then just slip away from me, Ye Ning?"

Ye Ning's palm tensed, and the sword qi surged once more.

He roared, "Sword qi churns the torrents, sleeves transform into green serpents!"

In the blink of an eye, the entire entrance to the Irontalons was bathed in a sea of green.

From within the glow, two formidable serpents sprang forth.

Far from exuding any chill, they were regal and imperious!

At this moment, Ye Ning's intent to kill was genuine!
