Chapter 926 It seems like I'm going to die right from the start.
Tavern?
What tavern's food can defy the laws of nature?
Everyone inside and outside the Dust-Hidden Gourd was completely bewildered by Xu Ning's words. Only Tianli himself frowned slightly, seemingly understanding Xu Ning's meaning.
Xu Ning rode the wind upwards, flying to a position almost level with the heavens, and brought the Dust Concealment Gourd to his mouth, swallowing another large gulp.
"Come on, we both know that we don't have much time left!"
Tianli seemed to agree with this statement, and without further ado, he raised his greatsword and swung it down from nearly a hundred meters away.
This strike was simple and unadorned, without any elemental enhancements.
But as soon as the greatsword was raised, alarm bells rang in Xu Ning's mind, and he could even feel the hairs on his entire body standing on end in an instant.
That's a natural reaction that only occurs when life is in extreme danger of annihilation.
Meanwhile, Tianli, who was a hundred meters away, appeared just a step away from Xu Ning the instant he sensed the danger, and his greatsword was already on Xu Ning's shoulder.
He had once again invoked the power of "space," causing that distant attack to suddenly strike him.
If Xu Ning hadn't reacted in time, the greatsword would have slashed into his left shoulder and out his right hip, cleaving him in two diagonally.
Xu Ning, however, was caught off guard!
Just now, in the sea of flowers in the control room, Xu Ning had already used the tide of pure water to receive the fiery attack from Tianli that crossed space.
He then realized that when Heaven combines the power of His authority with His fighting techniques, it will surely be terrifying.
So when Tianli swung his greatsword, Xu Ning realized that this sword was very likely to cross space and strike him unexpectedly, just like before. Without thinking, he flicked the gourd he was holding in his left palm and smashed it towards the spot where the sword might appear.
At the same time, his body was also swinging rapidly to the right, preparing for a counterattack while dodging.
This flick and flash is the essence of Drunken Fist.
But in reality, there was no chance left for him.
Almost the instant the gourd slipped from his hand, Xu Ning felt the red rope, which had been taut due to the gourd's movement, begin to loosen.
The dust-concealing gourd, which had been launched with great force, was falling back into his palm in a strange trajectory.
Even my body, which was swinging rapidly to the right, was involuntarily returning to its original position.
This posture is as if one is deliberately using their shoulder to meet the sword blade that Heaven is about to strike.
"This is... the power of time. It is turning back time so that I will run into the sword and die!"
Xu Ning felt that even his own thinking became extremely sluggish during the time rewind, making him completely unable to make any possible response.
"Oh no, it looks like we're going to die right here!"
It goes without saying that Tianli's seemingly simple sword strike, besides possessing the "authority of space" that transcends space and the "authority of time" that reverses time, must also have the "authority of death" attached to its blade.
Of the four powers, three were used in the very first move of the formal battle. If the power of the "Power of Life" were not unsuitable for this strike, Heavenly Principle would have used all its power at once, aiming for a single, decisive blow to kill.
You deserve to die!
Just at this critical moment, the furious voice of the man in green suddenly came from inside the gourd hidden in the dust.
Immediately, a golden thread emerged from between Xu Ning's fingers and the Dust Concealment Gourd, rising abruptly like a serpent to block the sword's edge.
Although this golden thread was extremely thin and drifted aimlessly in the wind like a spider's silk, it was actually intercepted by the powerful and heavy slash.
Moreover, it seems that this is not all. As the golden thread passed by, it also seemed to sever the control over space and time around Xu Ning. A strong wind rose around Xu Ning, and he quickly created distance between himself and others.
As Xu Ning retreated, the wisp of golden thread rapidly melted away in front of him, spreading across the entire space like shattered gold.
"What time is it? And you still have the leisure to fool around! Tianli (the Heavenly Justice) used all its strength to beat you, you coward, and you still dare to hide? Let me tell you, this piece of junk takes away half my life after I use it once, don't expect me to save you a second time..."
The woman in green launched into a hysterical tirade, while Xu Ning, with a bitter smile on his face, didn't dare to respond.
Although he knew he had never let his guard down against Tianli, he was indeed not fully prepared just now, and the fact that he survived Tianli's sword strike was mostly due to luck.
"I dare not be so arrogant, otherwise I will really die without a burial place."
Xu Ning silently reminded himself, took a deep breath, and immediately, golden lines began to grow wildly on his body.
Tianli's figure flickered again, but this time he did not appear directly in front of Xu Ning. Instead, he appeared in front of the bits of gold that were melting away.
"This power... you got it from the tavern? What did you bet with that person that made him willing to give you something like this?"
