nInstead of clashing with the man's spirit artifact, Ning had instead decided to teleport to behind the only remaining person of the group and used the One True Spear strike to his head, blowing his whole head apart.

n

"No!,

" the man with the sword screamed. By now the remaining beasts were either freed or dead. So, the only fighter remaining on the battlefield was the man.

nNing swung his spear, throwing away any blood that was on it.

n

"Now it's just you and me. Can you save yourself?

" Ning asked.

n

"I will f**king kill you, you bastard,

" the man said and charged at Ning with his sword. Ning himself started to spin his spear around and used the Revolving Spear art.

nHe also used the Hypnotizing dance but as expected it had no effect on the man.

nThe sword and the spear clashed, and clear as day it was the sword's victory. But Ning didn't let that stop him. Once the spear was hit, he used the new momentum of the spear to revolve it around more, gaining more power in the process.

nOnce again, he brought the spear back to the man and clashed with the sword once again. The sword won, but not as clearly as last time. Ning once again moved the spear and brought it back towards the man.

nThe man tried to hit it away with his sword once more, but when the spear and sword clashed, he realized that they were both equally powerful.

nThey got scared. 'The spear is getting stronger, how?' he thought.

nBy this point, Ning had moved his spear back and was bringing it back around to hit him once more. Instead of clashing once more, however, the man jumped backward in fear and got away from the spear.

nBut that didn't let him escape from the attack. Ning used the Twin Step movement technique to burst out in speed and followed the man, swinging his spear in the process.

nThe man dodged and few times, but it was getting harder and harder to dodge. So, reluctantly, he clashed with the spear once more.

nBANG

nA massive sound came from the clash as both Ning and the man were thrown backward. The man more so than Ning.

nNing finally breathed in and started huffing once more. During the entire time, as the power in the spear got stronger, he was stifling his breath so as to not make any mistakes.

n'Sh*t, the power is all gone,' he thought. He then turned to look at the man and saw something surprising.

nThe man too got up from the ground. His ears were still ringing from the loud sound just now and got apprehensive just in case Ning decided to attack right now.

nHe put forth his sword with both hands, but… the sword was bent from the middle at a 45-degree angle.

n

"WHAT?

" the man screamed in surprise. He couldn't believe that his prized possession, the spirit artifact he worked so hard for so many years to get, was actually destroyed by the kid's spear.

nHe could no longer get angry now. All he had in his heart was fear and despair. The kid clearly didn't have a very high cultivation base, yet his fighting prowess was that of a monster.

nInstead of fighting any longer, the man turned around and ran away. Using his full cultivation and the fastest movement speed he knew, he ran away from the fight.

nNing looked at the man and sighed. Then, he disappeared.

nA few dozen meters in front of the man, Ning appeared once more and readied his spear. The One True Spear strike.

nThe man tried to stop abruptly, but it was too late. In a single stab, Ning let out the full power of both of his cultivation bases at once and hit the man's chest.

nMIST

nThat was what the man's chest had turned into. The power was so strong that it obliterated everything in 10 centimeters around the place where Ning had struck the man and created a gaping hole in it.

n

"But… I—,

" the man fell to the ground, dead.

nNing took a deep breath. He could think about the many things men would usually say after a massacre like that but now was not the time. There was more of this to be done.

nHowever, when he looked towards the direction where Yacius and the other man had run away, he sighed. They were nowhere to be found.

n'I guess this is it,' Ning thought.

"Come out,

" he said and let Night free. Night could've probably helped a lot, but he didn't want to let him get hurt in his stead.

nSeeing that there was no more fight to be done, Night got lazy and went back to sleeping on Ning's shoulders. Ning simply chuckled and walked back towards the place he had been in the first place.

nThere it was, still breathing heavily, the Great Shelled Silver Beetle. Although it was a beetle, it was beyond the size of a normal human. And this beetle looked to be an adult from the looks of it.

n'System, what does this beetle-like to eat?' he asked.

n

n'Alright, make around 10 kilograms of it. At the same time, make a similar amount of snakeskin as well,' Ning said.

n

nNing no longer cared about how much it cost. 'Sure,' he said.

nA lot of sunflower seeds and snakeskins appeared in front of Ning. Night suddenly woke up when he smelled the snakeskin, and the beetle stopped breathing heavily for a second when it saw the many sunflower seeds on the ground.

nIt turned around and walked up near Ning and started eating the food.

nWhile it was doing that, Ning went and did his own thing as well. He was a little too low on Qi right now, so he needed other ways to tame a beast.

n'System, give me a strong beast taming skill,' Ning said.

n
