Ning Fan’s words were extremely arrogant. He held the intent to kill the three of them and seize their positions!
However, with the notorious reputation he had earned, the people were not disgusted at his ego. Instead, people believed that he was capable of doing so!
Originally, everyone thought that it was the end of the show as they no longer could witness the scene where Yu Long would avenge his grandson.
Out of their expectations, Zhou Ming was going to put on a good show by fighting the three tower masters…
He, Ning Fan, wanted to battle against the three tower masters from the northern, eastern and western towers respectively.
Opposing the forces of the Lost World Palace seemed to be an action of recklessness. But there were some vague speculations within his mind.
Bei He and I came into conflict. Since Bei He does not know that I am a Fifth Revolution pill master, it’s normal that he would speak insolently to me. The thing is, the Spirit Severing Realm guardian of the main tower, Lu Qing, does not appear to be trying to reconcile our conflict.
Lu Qing should know that I possess Fifth Revolution pill refining skill…
Ning Fan triggered quite a stir in Xuan Wu City.
But even after he claimed to seize the position of Bei He, Lu Qing still did not emerge.
It must be implying something.
Lu Qing implicitly allows my action!
Moreover, Ning Fan could imagine that Bei Xiaoman must be hiding somewhere in the dark to enjoy how he would kill the three of them.
A hypothesis formed in his mind… The so-called three tower masters were actually on bad terms with the Lost World Palace.
Lu Qing should be someone from the Four Heavens as he sided with Bei Xiaoman.
Dong Qing, Xi Bai and Bei He should be pill masters from the External Endless Sea or Internal Endless Sea. They might also be the spies from the Rain Palace or some other forces. Maybe they hold grudges against Lu Qing too. Anyhow, they must not be friendly with Lu Qing and it is why he does not come out and put a stop to this. Lu Qing intends to finish them off through my hands. Otherwise, he would have been standing between us with a smile on his face, making peace for both sides.
After weighing and considering the reasons of Lu Qing’s absence, Ning Fan became more determined in his actions.
If he goes to the Pleasure Devil Immortal Island and joined the auction of Peak Nascent Soul Realm human cauldrons, there will be many Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts. Most of them would not even look Luofei or Xiang Liao in the eye. If Ning Fan needed to intimidate people like them, he had to establish his might by fighting the three tower masters.
His arrogant words shocked the three tower masters. However, they were shocked because they had the chance to obtain his Earth Vein Demonic Flames which they all coveted from the beginning.
Hehe. It’s really unexpected. We can’t get our hands on the Green Phoenix Flame but we can obtain the Black Devil Flame and White Bone Flame… We just have to eliminate you and those two flames will belong to us. They will suffice in completing our mission assigned by Revered Flame!
Revered Flame?!
Ning Fan’s eyes narrowed. As expected, his guess was correct.
Revered Flame from the Rain Palace was rumored to be a Mid Spirit Severing Realm expert with Fifth Revolution pill refining technique! He seemed to possess a secret cultivation method involving flames. By devouring spiritual flames, he could raise his cultivation realm and strengthen his Path of Pills at the same time. Furthermore, he was also a pill master who held a titular position in the Lost World Palace!
Bei He and the other two were the people sent by the Rain Palace! Their intentions were probably to steal the Green Phoenix Flame from Bei Xiaoman.
It also made Ning Fan straighten out his mind about why the Green Phoenix Flame was not kept by Lu Qing or the other three towers, but by Bei Xiaoman.
It’s because Lu Qing’s status is not powerful enough to protect the Green Phoenix Flame. Putting the flame by Bei Xiaoman’s side would keep the spies from Rain Palace away as no one, including the Revered Elders from the Rain Palace, would dare to steal it from her!
As such, killing the three of them really was tacitly allowed by the Lost World Palace.
His mind was full of thoughts. If he could kill the three of them, he would then possess the ability to impress Lu Qing. At that time, it would not be difficult for him to request for the Green Phoenix Flame after he becomes one of the Feudal Ranking Elder of the Lost World Palace!
As for the issue of offending Revered Flame of the Rain Palace, Ning Fan did not consider it at all.
Apparently, I’m going to have a life and death fight with the three tower masters… Weiliang, wait here. Remember, don’t simply eat people. I’ll be back in a short while.
Light… Be…care…ful…
Ning Fan rubbed her cheeks and stroke her hair in order to console her. When he turned facing the three experts, the gentleness on his face vanished. His eyes turned cold like those of a merciless killer and glared directly at the three of them.
It’s not convenient to start a fight within this city. It’s not something wonderful to hurt the innocent. If the three tower masters want to kill me, let’s go to the outer sea!
Ning Fan vanished in a grey light and teleported away. His speed amazed quite a number of Nascent Soul Realm old monsters. Even the three experts were slightly surprised.
Now, even if Lu Qing appeared to stop them, the three tower masters would still use unscrupulous divisive tactics to seize the two types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames from Ning Fan!
This action might be illegal in any of the cultivation countries, but it wasn’t in the Endless Sea!
The three of them followed Ning Fan and left Peng Lai Immortal Island.
The sea breeze was gentle but the killing intent was surging.
Ning Fan floated in midair in the middle of the sea while the three experts spread out into a triangle-like formation. They were a thousand zhang away from each other, surrounding Ning Fan.
No one dared to enter the ten thousand zhang area around them although everyone hoped to witness who would be the winner of the battle!
Zhou Ming! I’m giving you one last chance. Hand over the Black Devil Flame and White Bone Flame willingly and I will not pursue anymore what you have said earlier!
No. Can’t you all get it? The Lost World Palace wants you three to be dead!
Of course we know about it! Do you think we are fools? Lu Qing wants to borrow your hand to eliminate us. But you alone are not enough! I guess Lu Qing is going to be disappointed!
Dong Qing’s eyes flashed with a cold light. As he slashed his claw-like hand at Ning Fan, a blazing-hot green flame covered the vast sky, forming the shape of a lotus!
Fourth Grade Spiritual Flame, Jade Lotus Flame!
Xi Bai narrowed his eyes and gave out a loud roar, expelling a breath of blue flame, stretching over the surface of the sea!
Fourth Grade Spiritual Flame, Sea Core Flame!
The three tower masters were all Fourth Revolution pill masters. The reason why they had such vigorous magic power was because they cultivated pill refining techniques from young. Until now, they had been cultivating for one thousand and six hundred years.
Besides, with an endless supply of spiritual herbs from the Rain Palace, they could refine pills every single day, polishing their pill refining skills. Due to the daily depletion of their magic power for pill refinement, their magic power grew stronger and denser than the other devil lords in the External Endless Sea.
However, the three of them shared a similar weakness – lacking combat experience. The only offensive method they excelled in was controlling flames.
From their point of view, Ning Fan might have Earth Vein Demonic Flames that could weaken their Fourth Grade Spiritual Flames. However, it would not be repeated again after they controlled the power of the flames, intensifying them with the help of their magic power.
The three of them could be considered outstanding among all Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts. To them, Ning Fan was just a brat who had no idea of impending danger coming for him after luring them to the outer sea.
It would be more reasonable if a formation was being set up on this place. However, Dong Qing and Xi Bai did not find any traces of a formation even if they had scorched the heaven and sea.
In other words, the young man before them was going to act recklessly by going head to head with the three of them alone.
He was just a Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who won against some weak Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts by luck. Did he really think he could fight against a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert who was about to break through the Spirit Severing Realm, let alone three of them!
Hmmph! Junior, this is my final advice. Tell me about your background. If you come from a force that is so powerful that I am dreadful of, then I might …
Bei He sneered but one of his hands secretly summoned a flame to sneak attack Ning Fan!
Before he finished speaking, Ning Fan laughed grimly for three times.
Shut up! Such insignificant skills…
He lifted his foot and stomped on the air below.
This moment, the area in a thousand li froze. The next second, the frozen heaven and earth cracked!
Ice Smash!
The power of his stomp revealed the brown flame that was secretly conjured up by Bei He, causing it to disperse!
Bei He’s face hardened. Inwardly, he was flabbergasted by Ning Fan’s keen senses and the latter’s terrifying strength of his foot.
To him, however, so what if Ning Fan discovered his trick!
Let’s attack together! Path of Flame, Scorpion Flame Devil Rain!
Lotus Move, The Art of Seven Fractions!
The Art of Four Layers of the Sea Core!
The three of them were skillful in fire attacks!
Three types of magical techniques at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm!
With their strong magic power, even a Spirit Severing Realm expert would find it difficult to take on their combined attack.
Above the boundless sky, a dark green sea of flame made of countless lotus shadows combined into a gigantic blazing lotus!
On the surface of the sea, a deep blue flame turned into four layers of waves that emanated heavy killing intent!
Between the sky and the sea, Bei He’s brown spiritual flame transformed into devil rain and bolted at Ning Fan. Each drop of the rain was capable of incinerating a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator!
Facing the incoming attacks, Ning Fan stood calmly with a smirk on his face.
As he walked into the sea of flames, the flames would move aside into his sides!
Chapter 213(2) The First Kill!
With just a look from his eyes, the flames which had weak spiritual intelligence moved aside in fear!
Flames…. They are nutritious items. I’ll absorb the entire sea of flames!
His eyes turned solemn. It was at this moment when the quiet Yin Yang Locket in his dantian emitted an immense power that could tear anything apart, like an invisible vortex!
Before the three different kinds of flames cast using magical techniques could scorch a single hair on Ning Fan’s body, they were sucked into his mouth by a strange force and eventually flowed into his abdomen. As the Yin Yang Locket was activated, the flames diminished at a rapid speed!
The Yin Yang Locket never feared flames!
In the past when Ning Fan’s magic power was still weak, he could devour one of the Flame Dragons made of the Black Devil Flame with the help of the locket!
Currently, his magic power had achieved Mid Nascent Soul Realm. Every flame below the Sixth Grade was nothing before him!
It was also the reason why Ning Fan was not afraid of Revered Flame from the Rain Palace.
Revered Flame devours flames?
No matter how much flames he can conjure, they will only become nutrients for the Yang Power of my Yin Yang Locket!
Before it absorbed the flames, the locket had an appearance that of a blood-red jade. After the absorption, a strand of blood line was formed on the center of the locket, separating the locket into two parts. The left side was slightly faint in color while the right side was much deeper. It was as if it divided the two parts into Yin and Yang.
Within a few breaths, not a single trace of flames was left within a thousand li!
When the three experts saw Ning Fan who was unscathed after the disappearance of their spiritual flames, they sucked in cold breaths together!
What kind of technique was that?!
This man dares to devour all our flames?!
Not even Revered Flame could do what he just did! According to rumors, only the descendants of the Flame Vein who perfected the cultivation method of flames could devour flames like that!
Don’t tell me this man possesses the Immemorial Divine Vein of Flame!
If Ning Fan were to possess the rare Divine Vein they mentioned, none of them would want to further offend him. The Rain Sovereign once gave a decree not to hurt any cultivators with rare immortal veins. Instead they must offer them forgiveness and recruit them!
But they did not have the time to think about it because Ning Fan had already begun his counterattack!
The massive sea of flames that was absorbed into his Yin Yang Locket compressed into a fireball on his finger. He even imbued the Black Devil Flame and White Bone Flame into it before he unleashed it!
Dragon Flame Vortex, Ninth Revolution!
This life-threatening devil chant echoed coldly from Ning Fan’s lips!
This finger was the combination of an all-out attack of three Nascent Soul Realm experts and his own ultimate strike!
Nine folds of grey flame vortexes appeared in the vast sky!
Within a thousand zhang, the sky and the sea began to simmer!
As the nine vortexes whirled rapidly in midair, nine grey Flame Dragons emerged. Each of them was a thousand zhang long and emanated a terrifying aura that could even suppress experts at the Late Nascent Soul Realm!
Xi Bai and Bei He were tied down by one Flame Dragon each. As for the remaining seven Flame Dragons, they targeted the weakest expert – Dong Qing!
The ability of the Yin Yang Locket to devour flames could not be repeated in the same battle. As such, before they had the time to face Ning Fan again, he decided to use his lightning technique to eliminate one of them!
Dong Qing who had 6000 units of magic power was the easiest to kill! However, sneak attacking him would be too obvious at this point.
The next second, another idea formed in his mind. When the seven Flame Dragons charged towards the enemy, Ning Fan dematerialized!
It was the Falsifying Art!
An unpleasant feeling struck Bei He when he lost sight of Ning Fan. He could guess what Ning Fan was up to.
Dong Qing was ranked the third among the three. He was the weakest among them all. Ning Fan’s intention of delivering a killing blow to Dong Qing was completely clear for them all to see when he deliberately deployed seven Flame Dragons at the latter! He wanted to sneak attack Dong Qing!
This man sure is cunning! However, he is doomed to fail!
Bei He emitted a roar and spurted out a mouthful of Blood Essence. He performed the self-sacrifice technique to boost his overall power temporarily, allowing him to crush the Flame Dragon with a claw!
Bei He truly deserved to be a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert as he could instantaneously finish off this Flame Dragon which could kill Late Nascent Soul Realm experts in a flash!
Afterwards, he made a hurried blink to the side of Dong Qing and spoke solemnly,
Third Brother, don’t worry! I’ve come to help!
With Bei He’s help, the Flame Dragons would not inflict much damage on the two of them.
Xi Bai also knew Dong Qing was in a difficult position. He did the same like Bei He and dashed to his aid.
However, before he could move, a silhouette of a young man materialized behind him and landed numerous punches like rain drops on his back!
His High Supreme Grade armor broke apart after receiving tens of punches from Ning Fan. After that, every punch that landed on his body crushed the bones in his spine inch by inch, grievously injuring him!
Xi Bai did not have the chance to react at all. It was completely out of his expectations that Ning Fan would feint to the east but strike in the west!
His true intention was to kill me first!
What was truly beyond his expectation was the brute strength of Ning Fan’s punch.
It was the power of the Half-Step Jade Life Body Refining Realm! Each and every punch emitted the sound of mountains collapsing!
Puke
In just a blink of an eye, the western tower master was already in a critical state!
Bei He and Dong Qing were both shocked and enraged at the same time. It was already too late for them to save Xi Bai!
Before this, they heard that Zhou Ming was only a cultivator with First Level of the Silver Bone Body Refining Realm. However, their information turned out to be untrue.
His body refining realm is just a hair’s breadth away from the Jade Life Realm! Among the experts below Spirit Severing Realm, he could be considered unrivalled with the body refining realm he possesses!
How…How is this possible?!
Xi Bai strenuously fished out a magical treasure which was shaped like a small tower and threw it at Ning Fan to cause a distraction that will aid his escape.
The small dark tower was a Peak Supreme Grade magical treasure. Its presence displayed a terrifying pressure on Ning Fan.
When it flew in midair, it immediately grew into a thousand zhang tall tower, emitting a deafening whoosh when falling down directly at Ning Fan.
Furthermore, it was augmented with the ‘Dispel’ ability! No techniques would be able to stop it from falling! He could either counter its movement using another magical treasure just as strong as it was or block it with his body.
From the perspective of Xi Bai, Ning Fan’s body refining realm could be considered heaven-defying with his current cultivation realm. However, even true Jade Life Realm expert could not directly block a Peak Supreme Grade magical treasure with his physical body.
But what he expected to happen was bound to be only wishful thinking on his part!
A blinding silver light flashed across their eyes. When they opened their eyes, Ning Fan was already a hundred zhang tall giant. The giant threw a punch on the enormous tower and brought it to a halt with his sheer physical force!
After his fist met the falling tower, his body retreated back a single step but he regained his stability in the next instance. The tower, however, was sent flying in the opposite direction with a few cracks on its body!
No way! Even Jade Life Body Refining Realm experts would not be able to directly take on a Peak Supreme Grade magical treasure like that!
Indeed, a Jade Life Body Refining Realm expert could not do that. But Ning Fan had endured ninety-nine inscriptions of the Stone Warrior Devil Mark and acquired the Profound Earth Devil Mark that fortify his defenses multiple times. In terms of offense, Ning Fan might not be able to compare with a genuine Jade Life Body Refining Realm expert. In terms of defense, however, only those of the Second Level of Jade Life Body Refining Realm could rival him!
The giant’s eyes turned clear and indifferent. He pointed his finger at Xi Bai and radiated a silver light. The next moment, circles of light rippled from his finger and travelled towards Xi Bai. As the light circle surrounded him and shook, countless intangible threads bound his limbs, sealing his movements.
This Body Sealing Technique was able to seal a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert for a single breath!
Cold sweat covered his entire body. This single breath of time was the key to his life and death!
Without hesitation, he spurted out a few mouthfuls of Blood Essence, struggling to free himself from the technique. However, before he managed to succeed, the giant had already caught up with him. He stretched out his gigantic palm and held him tightly in his fist. What happened next made the three of them completely horrified!
The giant opened his massive mouth and chewed the western tower master into pieces! He had eaten Xi Bai alive! Not even the latter’s Nascent Soul could escape!
After warding off the attack of the Flame Dragons, Bei He and Dong Qing were deathly pale.
This man…This man is a mad man!
Only demon cultivators would eat cultivators alive. If a human cultivator did that, the spiritual power of the deceased cultivator would make the cultivator’s immortal veins burst!
But what made them horrified the most was that Xi Bai who ranked the second among the three of them was defeated in just a flash!
Despite the tricks that Ning Fan displayed earlier, Bei He clearly knew that he too might not be able to receive those attacks without suffering severe injuries!
So this is… the true power of Zhou Ming?! Impossible! How could Xiang Liao survive when not even my second brother could?! Wait. I remember now! After the battle in the Pill Cauldron Gate, I have heard nothing about him anymore, not even the news of him seizing a new corpse… Xiang Liao did not manage to flee. Instead, he was caught by Zhou Ming after the battle and killed! That must be it!
Luofei, Xiang Liao and Xi Bai…
Zhou Ming had already killed three experts at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm!
This man’s power really is unusual! Which cultivator under the Spirit Severing Realm can be his opponent? Detestable! Let’s flee!
Dong Qing clenched his teeth in dissatisfaction.
Flee!
Without further contemplation, Bei He answered!
As they intended to blink, the giant pointed his finger at them, sealing their movements.
Want to leave? It’s too late!
Even Bei He now shivered in fear under Ning Fan’s devil might. He roared loudly at Ning Fan,
Zhou Ming! You’ve broken the World Law by killing Xi Bai. You’ve offended the Rain Palace. Don’t tell me you won’t stop?!
There’s no World Law in the Endless Sea!
Fine! Fine! Zhou Ming, don’t be too arrogant! I don’t plan to use this item because it will take a toll on me… But since you are unbelievably thickheaded, I will kill you no matter what the cost! ‘Profound Heaven Soul Slashing Sword’, appear!
