All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 234 A Junior Friend Realm Expert

"Ning Daoqi!?"

Zhu Yuyan's expression changed slightly upon seeing the newcomer.

There are very few people in this world who can remain calm and collected while facing Song Que and Wang Gan in battle. Clearly, the wandering immortal, the Taoist grandmaster Ning Daoqi, is one of them.

"Empress Yin, we meet again."

Ning Daoqi was quite familiar with Zhu Yuyan.

After all, Zhu Yuyan and Ning Daoqi were of the same generation, and Lu Miaozi was Ning Daoqi's good friend. Back then, Ning Daoqi chased after Zhu Yuyan three times, but Zhu Yuyan escaped each time thanks to her profound Heavenly Demon Skill and her confidence to "perish together with the enemy".

Of course, this is also partly due to Ning Daoqi's lack of strong killing intent as a Taoist master.

"With the Holy Emperor before me today, are you here to hunt me down again, Elder Ning?"

Zhu Yuyan sneered, looking at Ning Daoqi with unfriendly eyes.
Ning Daoqi sighed.

"Time flies like an arrow; let bygones be bygones."

"To witness the earth-shattering battle between Brother Song and Young Friend Wang, this old Daoist has no regrets in this life..."

The commotion surrounding the Evil Emperor's Relic naturally did not escape his notice, and he was also curious and wanted to meet this renowned Holy Emperor.

Ning Daoqi

Wang Gan squinted his eyes.

Ning Daoqi's arrival was not unexpected, but the fact that Ning Daoqi's Heavenly Sensing Realm had managed to deceive him and allow him to quietly observe the battle from the sidelines showed that none of the three Grandmasters of the Great Tang World should be underestimated.

"I've heard that as a grandmaster of Taoism, you've always been on very good terms with Cihang Jingzhai."

"So you were entrusted by the Buddhist sect to come specifically to deal with me?"

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
In the original novel, this Taoist grandmaster appears to be neutral, but because he read the Cihang Sword Manual and owed a favor to Cihang Jingzhai, he had no choice but to take action against Song Que.

However, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it established a deep connection with Taoism, even listing Laozi (Li Er) as its ancestor, which shows the gains and losses involved.

Buddhism, on the other hand, had a much more turbulent history, experiencing the most severe anti-Buddhist movement in history during the Tang Dynasty. In some ways, Ning Daoqi and Taoism were the biggest winners behind the scenes.

"To be honest, young friend..."

"The Buddhist sect has indeed entrusted me with the management of the He Shi Bi jade in order to select the ruler of the world."

Ning Daoqi spoke calmly,
"But I, the old Taoist, refused."

Wang Gan looked at Ning Daoqi with a leisurely air.
Ning Daoqi sighed softly.
"Originally, the old Taoist had some ability to read faces and divination. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the Ziwei star moved and Mars hung high in the sky. I had met the second son of the Li family in my early years. He was undoubtedly a dragon and phoenix with a face as bright as the sun and the moon, a born emperor."

"Although the old Taoist enjoys a carefree life, he also cares about the world and is indeed preparing to push things forward for the sake of all living beings."

"I might have to work hard and get involved in this world for it."

"Until...you, young friend Wang, appeared."

Ning Daoqi abruptly changed the subject, a strange glint in his eyes, and looked at Wang Gan.
"On that day, a demonic star blotted out the sky, the celestial phenomena were in chaos, the Purple Star disappeared, and Mars moved strangely."

"What happened after that, I truly don't understand... and I never want to get involved in things I don't understand." Wang Gan laughed heartily.
"Since you can read faces, then take a look and see what I think of my face?"

Ning Daoqi examined it carefully.
"Your face is truly the most unusual I have ever seen in my life."

"It was clearly a violent death, yet he was granted the immortal life of cultivation; it's truly bizarre."

Wang Gan clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking that Ning Daoqi was indeed quite capable, as he could see through this.

"And you're also prone to having many romantic entanglements and indulging in excessive sexual activity."

Ning Daoqi also analyzed it carefully.

"Young friend, you must take care of your health."

Wang Gan's expression immediately changed, and his face turned ugly.
"Playing tricks! Talking nonsense!"

"How dare you address me as 'young friend'? You're already courting death!"

The next second, Wang Gan's hair and beard bristled, and his figure soared into the sky like a roc taking flight. Then, he unleashed a world-shaking punch at Ning Daoqi from mid-air.
Its momentum was like a divine dragon soaring through the clouds; even before its power arrived, its awe-inspiring divine might had already shaken one's heart.

Wang Gan's expression was ferocious, and his attack was a ferocious strike that even Song Que had never experienced before!
Powerful! Dominant! Absolutely amazing!
"I'll fucking crush all demons and monsters!"

This punch was a pure interweaving of qi and force, and the surging qi swept across several miles, enough to shatter everything in sight!
A thunderous roar erupted, shaking Ning Daoqi so much that his mind almost jumped out of his body!
Ning Daoqi's expression changed drastically. How could he have known that Wang Gan could change his attitude faster than the weather?

And the first move he made was a full-power version that even Song Que had never experienced?!
At the critical moment of life and death, Ning Daoqi's true energy surged wildly, and his face suddenly showed the innocent expression of a child playing with birds. His hands also made the gesture of birds chasing and playing, swooping down and pecking at insects.

His energy also changed suddenly, and he became ethereal and transparent. His tall body seemed to become illusory, but the bird he made with his hands became real.

Two little birds, one in front of the other, chased and flew together. One became two, two became three, like hundreds of birds emerging from the forest at the same time, swarming towards the opposite side, trying to weaken the violent force in front of them inch by inch!
Eight-fold freehand strike! Using feints to counter real attacks!
This is Ning Daoqi's ultimate skill, comparable to Song Que's Nine Questions of the Heavenly Blade. It is about being carefree and inactive, roaming the world, achieving both non-action and action, and understanding all things!
This strike, in terms of killing power, is second only to Song Que's final strike of the Heavenly Blade, and in terms of the profoundness of its realm, it surpasses it!

boom!
Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the countless birds that Ning Dao had conjured were crushed and blasted apart by this earth-shattering blow, turning into a sky full of energy!
The force of this punch continued unabated, surging powerfully towards Ning Daoqi!
The void exploded repeatedly, and the violent energy slammed directly into Ning Daoqi, causing his true energy to surge wildly and him to vomit half a liter of blood!

Ning Daoqi flew several feet, his true energy transforming into two yin-yang fish, head to tail, chasing each other. He constantly mobilized and dissipated his energy, barely managing to stop his flight.

Despite being severely injured by Wang Gan's all-out attack, Ning Daoqi remained clear-headed and wide-eyed, demonstrating the extraordinary vitality of a Grandmaster!
"you"

Ning Daoqi pointed at Wang Gan, his finger trembling, a sense of grievance welling up inside him.
He just spoke a few truths?! And he's going to get beaten up?!

Wang Gan snorted coldly.
"How does my face look now?"

Ning Daoqi swallowed a mouthful of blood, took a deep breath, and spoke with a hint of bitterness in his voice.
"The Holy Emperor... The Holy Emperor is naturally of divine appearance, possessing the countenance of a dragon and phoenix, the reincarnation of Ziwei..."

"What the old Taoist priest said before was indeed nonsense..."

It seems that Ning Daoqi is a sensible person. Just now, Wang Gan was still a fellow Daoist in the Lesser Friend Realm, but after one punch, his seniority was immediately promoted to Saint Emperor.

Wang Gan's expression changed.
"Wrong again!"

"How could you mortals possibly judge my appearance?!"

"You should say that at first glance, it's like the sun shining brightly in the sky, so dazzling that you can't look directly at it!"
