Chapter 370: Chapter 370 He Is the King of Flas
The Fu Li Eyes gave him extraordinarily keen vision. Thus, Ning Fan had quickly seen through the profoundness of Revered Fla’s flying sword without needing Bei Xiaoman’s warning.
That fiery-red flying sword was a Peak Divine Transformation Realm Spiritual Treasure. It was augnted with two great divine abilities: teleportation and shadow cutting.
Revered Fla was not a sword cultivator, but a fire cultivator instead. The flying sword he had was just for the sole purpose of performing sneak attacks.
After flickering several tis, it was now a few inches away from Ning Fan’s shadow on the ground.
Once it cuts through Ning Fan’s shadow, his true body would also be cut. In a way, Shadow Cut was nearly the sa as the ability of killing one’s nascent soul by striking their treasures.
Bei Xiaoman was really nervous. The two blood-red stars between her glabella slowly erged. She raised her delicate hand and a trace of blood red light revolved around her finger. She was ready to help Ning Fan at any ti.
However, before Bei Xiaoman could even act, that fiery-red flying sword suddenly stopped and trembled, as if it was being blocked by sothing. Taking a closer look, one would be able to see that it was being struck by a ray of starlight.
That ray of starlight was the Separation Slayer Sword which Ning Fan summoned with a snap of his finger. After Ning Fan comprehended his sword intent, the might of his sword was definitely beyond compare.
*Clang*
The sound of breaking tal was heard. The fiery-red flying sword was actually crushed by the sword shadow glowing in starlight after a single collision.
Afterwards, that ray of starlight returned to Ning Fan and hovered around his body. His eyes were vivid black as he indifferently glanced at Revered Fla.
"That’s not the correct way to wield a flying sword... Appear!"
As soon as Ning Fan perford a series of hand seals, the sword shadow that was emanating starlight around his body instantly split into ten thousand sword shadows. They whistled across the sky and rained down on Revered Fla.
Ning Fan rarely killed his enemies using techniques involving flying swords. However, it did not an that he was not proficient in them.
Especially after he comprehended the Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent with the help of a broken piece of the sword, he was able to display the power of the flying sword to its full potential.
"What a domineering sword intent!"
Even the two hidden Void Refinent Realm experts of the Rain Palace could not help but secretly praise him.
Ning Fan’s sword intent emanated the haughtiness and dominance of entrapping an immortal being. It was the sword intent of an overlord. Both the Void Refinent Realm experts felt it difficult to breathe by just watching the battle from a distance.
The two of them could not help but begin to guess Ning Fan’s background.
Zhou Ming, a powerful expert from the Endless Sea who has a Void Refinent Realm expert as a guardian... Could it be that he’s a mber of the Zhou Family of the Internal Endless Sea?
However, in regards to the information about the Zhou Family of the Internal Endless Sea, the Rain Palace has always been keeping a close grasp of it. There was absolutely no such genius like Ning Fan!
"What’s the origin of this young man...?" The two Void Refinent Realm experts began to speculate Ning Fan’s identity once more.
The domineering force from Ning Fan’s sword intent swept across the streets. All the cultivators spectating the battle drew back again to distance themselves from the battlefield.
Even Revered Fla felt a tingling sensation on his scalp when faced with ten thousand sword shadows.
He was an expert strong enough to burn an ordinary Half-Step Void Refinent Realm expert to death. He had also seen countless sword cultivators who could behead soone with flying swords.
Among the Divine Transformation Realm sword cultivators that he had t before, Ning Fan’s flying sword techniques would definitely rank in the top three. Furthermore, Revered Fla also knew that flying sword techniques were not Ning Fan’s forte at all.
"I seem to have underestimated this man..."
For the first ti, Revered Fla frowned and regarded Ning Fan as a worthy opponent. He patted his storage pouch and produced a handful of red sand. He then sprinkled it into the sky. The sand glittered in blood red as it drifted in the sky.
When the sky was covered by the red sand, countless sword shadows that entered the hazy area crumbled and disintegrated.
The true body of the Separation Slayer Sword began to tremble violently after it was affected by the red sand. However, it managed to stay in one piece without breaking.
"An Immorial Divine Weapon...?"
Revered Fla knitted his brows even tighter. He originally planned to break Ning Fan’s flying sword with that handful of red sand as revenge for his broken sword, but it ended up fruitless.
After their first clash, Ning Fan was unscathed but Revered Fla’s flying sword was broken. Thus, Revered Fla was at a disadvantage.
"It’s the Bloor Star Sand! It’s Revered Fla’s natal magical treasure. The blood sand was refined using the Immorial Star Iron and specializes in destroying all kinds of magical treasures!"
"An Immorial Divine Weapon! The flying sword being held by Venerated Ming is also an Immorial Divine Weapon! According to hearsay, not only can an Immorial Divine Weapon level-up, but it’s also firm and indestructible. If Venerated Ming’s flying sword is just an ordinary sword, it might have been destroyed by this Blood Star Sand... It’s indeed a divine weapon!"
The clamors of comnts of the cultivators echoed into Ning Fan’s ears and his expression turned serious after hearing them.
"I see."
So that’s why this red sand is so powerful that it can break the sword shadows of my flying sword. So this is Revered Fla’s natal magical treasure.
If it’s a magical treasure...
The shadow of the Separation Slayer Sword was already back to Ning Fan and revolved around him, but he pressed his finger against his glabella again and produced a blood-red whip with lightning rays flashing around it.
Looking at the red sand which filled the vast sky, Ning Fan violently lashed the area with his blood-red whip. In one go, he made one hundred lashes.
Each shadow of the whiplash was like a blood-red thunderbolt. When one hundred blood-red thunderbolts struck the red sand, it was quite an impressive sight.
But Revered Fla just made a cold sneer when he saw that.
In his eyes, he thought that Ning Fan was simply sending more magical treasures for him to crush as he still dared to wield a magical treasure after witnessing the strength of the Blood Star Sand.
"Crush!"
Revered Fla raised his brows and changed his hand seal. The one hundred blood-red thunderbolts were suddenly subrged into the billow of red sand.
At first glance, he recognized that the blood-red lightning whip was just a spiritual treasure which was not worth worrying about.
As the bloody sand engulfed the thunderbolts of the whip, each of the thunderbolts collapsed one after another. However, before Revered Fla could feel pleased with himself, his expression changed.
When the one hundred whiplashes struck the bloody sand, they seed to have lashed right at Revered Fla’s primordial spirit.
After having his primordial spirit whipped a hundred tis by Ning Fan, he abruptly spat out blood and lost his balance, making him nearly fall down from the sky... The damage he suffered was definitely severe.
At the mont Revered Fla was injured, Ning Fan flicked his sleeve and conjured a gust of wind which carried the bloody sand all over the sky to him. He took advantage of the opportunity when Revered Fla was distracted and forcibly seized the latter’s natal magical treasure!
Generally, a cultivator’s natal magical treasure could only be used by the owner himself and others would never be able to wield it at will.
But Ning Fan was different.
After gathering the Blood Star Sand in his hand, Ning Fan mustered a golden purple mist which rose on the tip of his finger and directed it at the bloody sand.
A hissing noise was heard. Without much difficulty, the spirit sense mark which was planted by Revered Fla onto the bloody sand was erased by Ning Fan.
*Puke*
Before Revered Fla could stabilize himself, a sharp pain assailed his Sea of Consciousness as the spirit sense mark on his magical treasure was suddenly erased. He fell to his knees in the middle of the sky and vomited fresh blood. His expression was a mixture of fear and fury.
"’White Lightning Spirit Crushing Technique’! It can’t be wrong! It’s not an ordinary thunderbolt of the Zhou Family! Who are you to Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou?! Why did you seize my natal magical treasure?!"
Hatred overwheld Revered Fla. There were already rumors in the Endless Sea about Ning Fan’s technique that killed one’s nascent soul by striking their treasures. However, at the end of the day, a technique like that was not foreign to the cultivators of the Endless Sea as many cultivators of the Zhou Family who practiced lightning elents were able to perform it.
What’s beyond Revered Fla’s imagination was that none of the cultivators of the Zhou Family had thunderbolts as domineering as Ning Fan’s. It was absolutely not an ordinary thunderbolt. The power of the blood-red thunderbolt was like that of the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation which was difficult to resist.
In the history of the Zhou Family of the Internal Endless Sea, there was only one person who wielded blood-red thunderbolts and that person was Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou!
In the Endless Sea, there had been rumors claiming that Zhou Ming was a mber of the Zhou Family. But this matter was confird to be a false rumor after the Zhou Family’s genius, Zhou Qing, had clarified.
Therefore, Revered Fla was even more convinced that there was absolutely no such person like Ning Fan in the Zhou Family of the Internal Endless Sea.
But Ning Fan could actually perform the techniques of blood-red thunderbolts which once belonged to the Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou.
Is it just a coincidence? No! How could there be such a coincidence in this world!
The two hidden Void Refinent Realm experts of the Rain Palace had almost the sa thought as Revered Fla.
Originally, they were speculating at Ning Fan’s identity. After witnessing the blood-red thunderbolts, they were more convinced of Ning Fan being a mber of the Zhou Family.
As for why there is no one like Zhou Ming in the information provided by the Rain Palace...
The two Void Refinent Realm experts thought about it carefully and made so secret guesses.
Perhaps this Zhou Ming is very important to the Zhou Family, so important that his existence has to be covered up and concealed from the Rain Palace’s knowledge.
The more the two Void Refinent Realm experts thought, the more they felt that their guess was correct.
In that way, it was explainable as to why Ning Fan would have a Void Refinent Realm expert protecting him.
From their point of view, that hidden Void Refinent Realm expert must also be a Void Refinent Realm elder of the Zhou Family. It’s just that they had no idea which elder it was.
"Hmph! The Zhou Family has an agreent with our Rain Palace that Half-Step Void Refinent Realm experts and above must never leave the Internal Endless Sea without authorization. How dare they violate the agreent?! It seems that it’s necessary for us to report this matter to the Divine Sovereign!"
After making so wild guesses, the two experts deviated even more from the truth.
"We must find out which elder of the Zhou Family is protecting this Zhou Ming!"
Ning Fan certainly had no idea what the hidden Void Refinent Realm experts were thinking. Sneak attacking Revered Fla with the Spirit Fragntation Whip happened in just a matter of seconds.
Seeing Revered Fla was injured, Ning Fan took advantage of the situation and seized the Blood Star Sand by force without even giving Revered Fla a chance to breathe. His Fu Li Wings stretched out and he vigorously beat his wings once. In a flash of purple light, Ning Fan’s figure was nowhere to be found.
"His speed is incredibly fast... It’s bad! Yun Yan, look out to your back!"
At this mont, the expressions of the two hidden Void Refinent Realm experts changed drastically and they no longer concealed their presence. They appeared in midair and shouted at Revered Fla to warn the latter.
Fast! It’s too fast!
When travelling with his Fu Li Wings, Ning Fan’s speed was almost on par with the speed of a Void Refinent Realm expert. Revered Fla was unable to respond to his impressive speed which allowed him to travel for ninety thousand li* (500m per li) in an instant. Only the two Void Refinent Realm experts could detect the direction where Ning Fan was heading to.
All of a sudden, the hairs on Revered Fla’s back stood up and he felt imnse chills running down his spine. When he heard the two Void Refinent Realm experts who were shouting warnings at him, he lost his composure and hurriedly turned around, unleashing the power of his spirit sense to its maximum. Then, a spark of fire glittered in midair and erupted into a column of flas in a single mont, burning the sky within a vicinity of ten thousand li* (500m per li)!
In the sea of flas, a figure in white robes appeared. However, before he could perform a stealth attack on Revered Fla, he was already engulfed by the flas.
It’s fire sense! The spirit sense made up of flas!
Ning Fan had refined his Sea of Consciousness into the shape of a sword and condensed sword sense. This Revered Fla, however, had managed to turn his Sea of Consciousness into flas and condensed fire sense.
When he performs the Art of Sword Sense with his Half-Step Void Refinent Realm spirit sense, it could even inflict severe damage on ordinary Half-Step Void Refinent Realm experts.
Although Revered Fla was extrely arrogant, his strength and power were amazingly strong as well. Compared to Dong Xu who had yet to attain the Void Refinent Realm, he was at least several tis stronger!
After using his fire sense, he spat out blood once more as it was rather taxing for him to do so without suppressing his injuries. Even so, he was certain that Ning Fan must have been seriously injured by his fire sense.
"’Burning Sky Fire Sense’! This is the technique that made Revered Fla famous. He had once used this technique to literally burn a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm expert to death!"
"I heard rumors saying that Venerated Ming also has a unique type of spirit sense which he comprehended by chance. It’s said to be sword sense. However, I’m afraid that Venerated Ming’s sword sense isn’t as powerful as Revered Fla’s fire sense. One should know that once Revered Fla’s fire sense is unleashed, everything and everyone below the Early Divine Transformation Realm within the vicinity of fifty thousand li* (500m per li) would be instantly killed and burnt to ashes!"
Bei Xiaoman’s eyes flashed with a hint of worry. She was not even afraid of the Daoist child, Yi Qing, but she was fearful of Revered Fla. What she feared the most was his Art of Fire Sense that he had used just now.
In regards to the thods that kill and inflict damage on a large scale, Revered Fla could be ranked first among all Divine Transformation Realm experts in the Rain World!
"No! I haven’t settled my old scores with him. He can’t just die like this! No way!"
Anxiety took control of Bei Xiaoman. She took a step forward and was about to fly into the sky.
She clearly hated Ning Fan to the marrow of her bones, but when she saw Ning Fan being engulfed by the column of flas, she just could not stop feeling anxious and worried.
She did not like the anxious and tense feeling that she was experiencing. She disliked it a lot.
She had the urge to pull Ning Fan out of the sea of flas!
*Boom*
Before Bei Xiaoman could rush into the sea of flas, she froze at the sa spot and her eyes widened with shock.
She saw the sea of flas that was powerful enough to instantly kill an Early Divine Transformation Realm expert being parted by a mysterious force.
Ning Fan, who wore a set of white robes and had a set of demonic purple wings on his back, calmly walked across the flas. The raging fire eerily parted for him, as if it was afraid of him, not to ntion burn him.
"How is this possible?!"
Revered Fla could not believe his eyes. Ning Fan ca out unscathed from his fire sense which he unleashed using all of his strength. The destructive power of that attack which could put a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm expert in a grievous state did not even leave a scratch on Ning Fan!
The current Ning Fan who was standing amidst the flas crept Revered Fla out. The one hundred types of Fourth Grade spiritual flas and the three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flas in his dantian were flickering violently, as if they were afraid.
Overwhelming!
The current Ning Fan was like the king of flas who was impervious to any kinds of flas!
"’Fire Plucking Technique’!"
Ning Fan stretched his five fingers into the shape of a claw. Then, a small vortex with the pattern of the Yin Yang Fish ford under his palm.
As soon as the vortex appeared, a bizarre and terrifying suction force rose and absorbed every last bit of flas which occupied the vicinity of ten thousand li* (500m per li).
No one knew that the so-called all-out strike of Revered Fla had beco nourishnt for the Stele of Sun and Moon in Ning Fan’s Profound Yin World which replenished the soul of the stele!
Dead silence fell upon the group of onlookers. Each and every one of them was astonished by the sight before their eyes.
The two Void Refinent Realm experts were also stunned. They absolutely could not believe what they had seen. To them, it was just unimaginable, too unimaginable!
They inwardly admitted that it was not difficult to ward off Revered Fla’s fire sense with their Void Refinent Realm cultivation base.
But what they could do at most was neutralize it!
The divine ability that Ning Fan used did not just neutralize the fire sense, but it seed like his ability existed specially to restrain flas!
No. Restraining was not the right word to describe how it devoured the flas... To be more precise, it was like... plucking it!
Yes, it’s plucking! It was like how a cultivator plucked his human cauldron, greedily sapping everything out of her while she could not resist at all!
In an instant, innurable thoughts filled the two experts’ minds. However, they seed to have recalled sothing and revealed a delighted look.
"Could it be that this Zhou Ming has a way to restrain flas?!"
"If that is the case, I’m afraid that only this man in the entire Rain World would be able to acquire ’that thing’!"
The two experts locked eyes with each other. Both of them were able to read each other’s thoughts.
That thing they were talking about was located in an abyss filled with a sea of flas. Even Void Fragntation Realm experts were unable to go in there and take it out.
Therefore, in order to acquire that thing, the Rain Palace purposely cultivated a practitioner of flas and provided him excellent treatnts for his cultivation. They searched for Earth Vein Demonic Flas for him to devour, assigned Void Refinent Realm experts to protect him and even condoned him and his disciples in breaking the laws and behaving arrogantly.
However, even if they planned to rely on Revered Fla to acquire that thing, they needed to nurture him up to at least the Void Fragntation Realm... But still, all of this was filled with too much uncertainty. Who could be sure that Revered Fla would successfully attain the Void Fragntation Realm after thousands of years?
"If this Zhou Ming is willing to help the Rain Palace, why should we need Yun Yan?!"
"We can’t let Yun Yan continue the fight with this Zhou Ming anymore. Once Yun Yan completely offends him, it will beco even more difficult for us to rope him in to work for the Rain Palace."
The two experts stepped out and tried to stop the fight between Revered Fla and Ning Fan.
No one knew that these two Void Refinent Realm experts actually harbored the thought of befriending Ning Fan.
Ning Fan slowly kept the vortex beneath his palm and licked his lips like he had had a delicious al. The fire sense which contained such a pure power of flas had filled up at least 10% of the soul of the Stele of Sun and Moon.
He did not plan to continue fighting and take Revered Fla’s life. After striking the latter’s primordial spirit, seizing his natal magical treasure and devouring his fire sense, Ning Fan had already severely wounded Revered Fla.
With Ning Fan’s personality, he would never let his enemies live. However, it would be unwise to kill Revered Fla in front of the eyes of thousands of cultivators and offend the Rain Palace.
Even if he really wants to kill him, it would be better to do it sowhere more private...
"Hand over the three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flas." Ning Fan’s cold voice sounded like there was no room for rejection.
"Impossible! Don’t you ever think about it! Haha! You can never take my place, never!"
Revered Fla seed to have gone insane. There was never a ti where he harbored such a strong intent to kill Ning Fan before.
In the past, he only wanted to kill him for his flas. Now, however, he just wanted to kill Ning Fan to impede a future disaster!
Ning Fan threatened his position in the Rain Palace! It was because Ning Fan was the king of flas who did not fear any types of flas.
If he is alive, the Rain Palace will no longer need
and I will lose all the supplies and privileges given by the Rain Palace!
"Art of Void Fla, Samadhi Fire Palm!"
Revered Fla’s eyes were bloodshot. There was only one thought in his mind: he must kill Ning Fan before the two Void Refinent Realm experts befriend him!
