Looking at Qing Yao who appeared outside the insect array, the depths of the eyes of the Zhantai Guanjian were instantly filled with countless complicated feelings.

He knew that Qing Yao Yin had been living in this secret land for more than ten years, but this secret land located in the underground plain of the Sky Peak was extremely large, and even he didn't know where Qing Yao Yin lived, he hadn't seen Qing Yao Yin for more than ten years.

Cultivators have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, but more than ten years is a long time for practitioners.

Jing Liuli is different from the Zhantai Guan Sword, such a sword will come from her hand, and she has naturally seen this uncle who lives in seclusion in this secret land before this, but the love in her eyes at the moment is also equally complicated.

Because she knew very well that Qing Yao Yin would definitely not show up in this sword meeting.

When Qing Yao Yin appeared, she and many people on the cliff above the sword leaned out.

Most of the cultivators who came to watch the sword meeting, as well as some nobles in the court, the Minshan Sword Sect naturally let them see the whole process of this sword meeting, but seeing it may not mean seeing all the details clearly, so their location naturally cannot be compared with the Jingliuli and the Shentai Guanjian.

Looking down at the place where they were, whether it was Qing Yaoyin or Ding Ning, or the rest of the candidates, they were all as small as ants.

If it weren't for the fact that sometimes the remnant sword in Ding Ning's hand suddenly lit up because of the infusion of True Yuan, it would be difficult for these people above to even see his sword clearly, and the picture of the emperor insects constantly falling next to Ding Ning would be even more weird.

......

Ding Ning's sword had a sense of becoming more and more fluid in the eyes of Jingliuli and Tangtai Guanjian, but only Ding Ning himself knew that this process was just a deliberate disguise by him.

This kind of rushing and killing in the battle array, he has an experience that is unimaginable for cultivators like Jingliuli and Yutai Guan Sword, but no matter what kind of experience, this kind of rushing and killing without respite for a moment in the battle formation is extremely depleting for the body and spirit.

His breathing became more and more intense, and the heat between his chest and lungs seemed to be burning, and the air that poured into his chest cavity carried an extremely viscous smell of blood, making it even more difficult for people to breathe.

However, Ding Ning's face was still extremely calm, and he could be sure that the person who appeared was Qing Yaoyin... Even if Qing Yao Yin was just a bystander, he would definitely kill all the remaining imperial insects before his body was completely exhausted.

Therefore, his sword was still calm and perfect, harvesting the lives of the royal insects surging up around him at an extremely high rate.

Qing Yaoyin's face was completely covered by the tangled beard, and he couldn't see any expression, but every time Ding Ning's sword stabbed out, his gaze flickered violently.

In his eyes, the sword in Ding Ning's hand seemed to be completely separated from Ding Ning's body.

In his feelings, it seems that how difficult Ding Ning's breathing is and how tired Ding Ning's body is, have nothing to do with the sword in Ding Ning's hand.

His eyes became more and more puzzled, angry and confused.

The corpses of the royal worm are piling up more and more.

Even from such a distance, he could see that the stream in front of him had turned green and muddy.

Looking at the emperor insects in front of him that were becoming more and more sparse, he became more and more unbearable.

Just as it was echoing his unbearable, the remnant sword in Ding Ning's hand made a loud sound.

A royal insect swept down from the air did not settle down when it landed, and its body shook violently, so that Ding Ning's sword did not cut directly into the weak point of its jaw, but cut into the hard carapace.

However, with the help of this shock, the remnant sword in Ding Ning's hand instead separated several strands along the crack, and with the steady infusion of the true yuan, several strands of sword filament pierced into the body of this imperial insect and the other two imperial insects in front of it.

The three-headed royal insects were hit hard but did not die, and they jumped out violently after eating pain, and in an instant, there was a bang, and several royal insects were knocked to the ground.

"Enough!"

Qing Yao finally couldn't bear it anymore and let out a loud shout.

However, the battle continues.

These imperial insects couldn't understand his words at all, and Ding Ning in the imperial insect array naturally couldn't stop and add many holes to his body.

The anger in Qing Yao's eyes seemed to burn.

He also realized his mistake and a bright red piccolo appeared in his hand.

With the injection of True Yuan between his fingers, many ripples appeared in the air around this bright red piccolo, which seemed to make no sound, but in the next moment, all the Emperor Worms and Xuanfrost Worms were suddenly frozen and frozen, and then their bodies trembled violently.

Then all the still alive royal worms began to retreat like a tide.

They were tall and tall, and their heads and backs were towering over the thorn bushes, but when they retreated at this moment, they were lying on the ground in fear, and they could not see a faint blue luster visible at all, only countless waves formed in the crimson thorn bushes, spreading out into the distance.

All the frost insects did not move.

When all the emperor insects retreated, a terrifying sword intent had already reached above them.

It was like an invisible sword slamming down from above.

The ground shook violently, and there were countless subtle cracking sounds from their bodies, and clumps of broken flesh poured out of their mouths.

Except for the Xuanfrost Worm in Ding Ning's hand, all the remaining Xuanfrost Worms died.

On the cliff high up, many of the cultivators of the Sword Watching Society, who were as small as ants, couldn't help but take a step back.

Qing Yao Yin did not belong to the strong people who used swords in the Minshan Sword Sect, but even so, the power of this sword was rare in the world.

"Do you need to stop him?"

Looking at Qing Yaoyin's shot, Yutai Guanjian turned his head to look at Jing Liuli and asked solemnly.

Jing Liuli shook her head without any hesitation and said, "No need." ”

Ding Ning gasped violently and walked out of the pile of corpses of the emperor worm, splashing patches of sticky blue-yellow blood as his footsteps fell.

"How so?"

Looking at the figure of Ding Ning who stepped on the wall and walked out of the pile of corpses, Qing Yaoyin didn't introduce himself, but just shouted this sentence angrily, and before the voice fell, his figure had already appeared not far in front of Ding Ning.

Ding Ning didn't answer Qing Yaoyin's words for a while, but just gasped violently and waved his hands in salute.

"A cultivator of any rank under the Seven Realms, even if he is facing an army composed of the lowest level cultivators and sword masters, has a reason that he is no match for hundreds. This is recorded in many cultivation books, even if your master has not taught you, you will definitely see it in the cultivation classics, don't you even know this basic truth?" Qing Yao Yin looked at Ding Ning angrily, and said without stopping: "The number of these imperial insects of mine is several times hundreds, why didn't you run away from the beginning, but thought about fighting these imperial insects? Are you blind? Even if you are blind, you can easily sense the vitality of these imperial insects!"

Many people may not understand Qing Yaoyin's anger at this time.

In particular, a powerful legendary figure like Qing Yao Yin would naturally exude many terrifying auras from his body when he was angry, putting unimaginable pressure on ordinary cultivators.

However, Ding Ning just looked at him and replied calmly: "Although these insects are like an army, they are not an army after all. ”

"What does it mean to be like an army, but not an army after all. ”

Qing Yao groaned and said sharply, "Even if it is a tiger and a wolf ride, it is impossible for everyone to be a cultivator. ”

Ding Ning gasped for breath, shook his head, and said, "It has nothing to do with individual combat power, there is something called sacrifice in the army." ”

Qing Yao groaned slightly.

Ding Ning continued, "These insects seem to be from your hands, in all fairness, they are infinitely close to the armies of cavalry and cultivators in terms of combat methods, but after all, they will only attack by normal means, and will not take the initiative to sacrifice, but the army is different, in order to inflict fatal damage on a powerful cultivator, maybe the army will resolutely launch some kind of ordnance, regardless of the lives of the hundreds of soldiers surrounding that cultivator, and those soldiers who surround the cultivator will also make decisive sacrifices." ”

It is naturally impossible for Qing Yao to not understand these truths.

In addition to Ding Ning's example, he himself could even list the countless sacrifices he had made in order to besiege and kill cultivators.

He just didn't understand these truths in a momentary anger.

His anger faded a little.

Then he looked directly at Ding Ning and asked the most crucial question: "Even if you feel that these royal insects are different from the real army, you are confident that you can fight to kill all these imperial insects... But the point is, why did you make such a choice in the first place, why did you choose not to kill the Frost Worms and want to kill all these Emperor Worms?"

"Because it's a strange chain. ”

Ding Ning raised his head slightly, also looked directly into his eyes, and said slowly and clearly: "Before entering this sea of thorns, Geng Blade's predecessor explained to us that this is a competition that will seriously injure us and be extremely tired, and the strength of the Xuanjing Insect is not enough to pose a threat to many candidates, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hurt many candidates." ”

"The Frost Worm was originally the one that completed the mutation in front of us, so I'm sure that even if I take advantage of the Frost Worm's transformation to escape, or stay and kill all the Frost Worms, it will definitely inspire the next step. ”

"These frost worms may become food for these royal insects, and these imperial insects will change or become a link in the next evolutionary process, and in the end, what I have to face will definitely be enough to make me extremely tired, and even cause me to suffer severe injuries, and may even make me withdraw from this competition. ”

"So for me, if I want to prevent this from happening, I can only try to break one of the links, and only by completely breaking one of the links, so that a series of chains cannot be opened smoothly, can I complete this competition with the least cost. ”

In Ding Ning's slow and clear narration, Qing Yao Yin became more and more shocked and silent.

"You're doing the right thing. ”

After being silent for dozens of breaths, he took a deep breath and looked at Ding Ning and said.
