Chapter 64: Meng Jingyang, We Want to Kill You

Ning Shengsheng couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Her brother’s hand strength was really great; no wonder he was so good at forging iron.

Ning Xuan carried her into the cabin. Yun Huaiyue slept soundly.

After dealing with her, Ning Xuan walked to the edge of the ship and rummaged through his storage bag to find four magical treasures.

They were four sets of Frost Scale Armor!

They were made from the scales of the Mystic Ice Fish from the extreme north and engraved with countless cooling formations. They were exquisitely made.

Ning Shengsheng put the armor on her body and shook her head regretfully, “Older Brother, it’s really a pity you became an emperor.”

“Tsk, Zhen thinks so too.”

Ning Xuan put on the Frost Scale Armor nimbly and told the other three how to activate the formation inside.

He patted Xue Chen’s shoulder.

“Hostage Prince Xue, you aren’t from Great Ning. You don’t need to risk your life. Why don’t you stay here and look after Miss Yun?”

That made sense.

“My brother is right,” Ning Shengsheng chimed in. “When we die, help collect our bodies, thanks~”

“…”

Xue Chen silently activated the Frost Scale Armor’s formation. “The Princess treats me like family. Great Ning is in trouble; how can this subject retreat?”

He said this expressionlessly, then looked sideways at Ning Xuan, his brows and eyes full of sincerity.

“Your Majesty, this subject is willing to die for the Princess!”

Ning Xuan hugged Xue Chen with teary eyes. “Adversity reveals true feelings. It seems your sincerity towards An’an is witnessed by heaven and earth. If we return alive this time, Zhen will never mock you again.”

“Older Brother, that’s enough.”

Ning Shengsheng held her forehead and sighed.

Meng Jingyang watched the show with a grin.

Interesting.

Too interesting!

Their acting skills were quite good. If one didn’t know better, they’d think Ning Xuan and Xue Chen were brothers.

“An’an is right.”

Meng Jingyang couldn’t stand it anymore. With a flying kick, he booted Ning Xuan down.

“Ah—”

“Meng—Jing—Yang—”

“Zhen! Will! Kill! You!”

After kicking Ning Xuan, Meng Jingyang narcissistically brushed his bangs aside and looked back dashingly. “Little An’an, come on~”

As soon as his voice fell.

He jumped down without looking back.

Too abstract, bro!

Ning Shengsheng covered her eyes. She followed Meng Jingyang with a standard dog-paddle posture.

Due to air resistance, her entry posture wasn’t as graceful as the dog paddle.

More like a bullfrog thrown into a hot pot.

Xue Chen paused slightly. He took out a Shadow Retaining Bead and recorded the scene of Ning Shengsheng jumping into the sea.

If she dared to be nice to others in the future.

He would project this Shadow Retaining Bead over the imperial city.

And play it on a loop.

“Xue Chen, come down quickly!”

Ning Shengsheng waved happily, unaware she had left behind blackmail material.

“Hahaha, so fun, it’s no different than swimming in seawater~”

The boiling magma automatically made way for the Frost Scale Armor.

She paddled her arms, trying out the backstroke. “Older Brother, you are the coolest weapon refiner in the cultivation world!”

“Of course.”

Ning Xuan crossed his arms to look cool. “If those other princes weren’t such bad people regarding their character, Zhen wouldn’t want to be emperor either.”

“Descendants of the Ning clan, not a single good one.”

Speaking of which, Meng Jingyang happened to swim past.

Ning Xuan’s eyes widened. “Cousin, you’ve been carefree for decades, why don’t you come back and be emperor?”

“Don’t!” Meng Jingyang almost knelt down to him. “You want to see Great Ning become scarier than the Demon Realm?”

Amidst the joking, Xue Chen jumped down.

The group dove into the depths of the magma sea together.

When Ning Shengsheng first jumped down, the body surface temperature was normal. As they went deeper…

The Frost Scale Armor gradually wasn’t enough.

“Where is the Fire Flood Dragon?” She activated other cooling arrays.

Xue Chen: “In the deepest part, need to dive another hundred zhang.”

The four of them swam towards the deepest part.

Occasionally dodging magma bubbles that popped up.

The bubbles didn’t cause damage but would slow down their progress.

They swam for a long time.

Ning Shengsheng looked down and checked; there were five arrays left unopened.

The heat wave invaded the armor.

Sweat beaded on her forehead. She gritted her teeth and endured the high-temperature roasting.

She would only activate new arrays when she couldn’t hold on anymore.

Otherwise, when fighting the Fire Flood Dragon, if the Frost Scale Armor lost its effect, they would all be done for.

The others thought the same.

Continuing deeper for nearly another hundred zhang.

The magma churned even more violently.

Meng Jingyang changed his usual sloppy demeanor and said seriously: “See the magma waves sweeping over?”

“If I’m not wrong, that’s caused by the Fire Flood Dragon’s tail swinging. We are not far from the Fire Flood Dragon.”

Ning Shengsheng was dazed for a moment. Such huge waves; one could imagine how massive the Fire Flood Dragon’s body was.

“Little An’an, Ah Xuan and I will entangle it. You two grab the opportunity to take the Fire Essence.”

“Okay!”

After Meng Jingyang finished speaking, a white-gold folding fan appeared in his hand.

That was his intrinsic weapon.

The fan opened, unleashing several waves of spiritual power.

The surging magma retreated completely.

Meng Jingyang led the way, with Ning Xuan following closely behind.

Ning Shengsheng and Xue Chen looked at each other.

According to the plan, she and Xue Chen only had one minute to take the Earth Core Fire Essence.

The Fire Flood Dragon was inherently powerful.

In the depths of the magma sea, it could utilize its full advantage.

Trying to kill it was harder than ascending to heaven.

They could only use their wits.

Meng Jingyang used attacks to attract the Fire Flood Dragon’s attention, and Ning Xuan used formations to stall the Fire Flood Dragon.

The moment the God-Binding Array was formed.

That would be when she and Xue Chen took the Fire Essence.

A roar came from the distance. The Fire Flood Dragon swam angrily towards Meng Jingyang, revealing the fangs in its mouth.

She sweated for him.

Ning Xuan moved nimbly through the deep sea, setting up the array eye around the Earth Core Fire Essence.

Fortunately.

Everything went very smoothly.

Ning Xuan raised his hand: “Ready!”

Meng Jingyang nodded, circulated his spiritual power, and rushed rapidly towards the center of the array. The Fire Flood Dragon roared and chased after him.

Unexpectedly!

Just as it was about to enter the array, the Fire Flood Dragon actually stopped.

Its vertical pupils stayed on the array eye for two seconds. Two streams of fire sprayed from its nose as it looked at Meng Jingyang with disdain.

Crap, it didn’t take the bait!

The Fire Flood Dragon narrowed its eyes and looked at the weakest one, Ning Shengsheng.

Tail swung.

It attacked Ning Shengsheng!

Meng Jingyang and Ning Xuan shouted in unison: “Not good.”

Both held their intrinsic weapons and rushed to save her.

There was only one chance to take the Earth Core Fire Essence.

Ning Shengsheng gritted her teeth and rushed towards the direction of the Earth Core Fire Essence without looking back.

The Fire Essence was in the center of the array.

As long as she went to get it, the Fire Flood Dragon would definitely follow. Then Ning Xuan’s God-Binding Array would activate.

Even if it only trapped it for half a minute.

If she moved a bit faster, maybe she could come back.

Ning Shengsheng didn’t dare look back. Behind her, the Fire Flood Dragon roared madly, and the sprayed flames brushed past her body.

Meng Jingyang and Ning Xuan tried to stall it.

It was getting closer and closer.

She could even feel the stinging pain of being burned by high temperatures on the back of her neck.

Ning Shengsheng activated all the arrays in one breath, her expression stubborn, her eyes only on the Earth Core Fire Essence not far away.

This was the life-saving thing for tens of thousands of people in Great Ning!

Must succeed.

And can only succeed!
