Grasping Evil Chapter 461 - Seizing the Flames

Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Seizing the Flames

At this moment, Ning Fan’s presence gave off the demeanor of a grand master that seemed to be innate to him.
It was like an uncut jade that had become more perfect after one hundred years of careful refining and polishing.
His eyes indifferently scanned past the jade platform. Great Elder Fu Bai immediately approached him to welcome his arrival, Yang Gu saluted him respectfully like how a disciple would to his master whereas Yun Niansu cupped his fists to greet him.
Amazement filled everyone’s eyes in the arena!
Other than Yang Gu who was a common disciple to Ning Fan, no one knew that he had Fifth Revolution pill refinement mastery.
However, even Yang Gu did not expect for Ning Fan’s pill refinement mastery to have reached such an incredible level where he could overwhelm countless Fourth Revolution Pill Masters with just his medicine soul!
At this moment, all of the cultivators of Cold Northern Country realized that Ning Fan not only had incredible strength but also extraordinary pill refinement techniques!
As for Chi Lao and the other four pill refinement masters of Scarlet Heaven Palace, each of their faces were so red it was as if they had been burnt by fire. They hurriedly got off the jade platform. None of them dared to offend Ning Fan in person at all.
Huang Tingzi was unable to conceal the astonishment in his eyes. He had heard that Yang Gu wanted to invite Ning Fan to join Pill Island and become a feudal ranking elder. However, he had rejected it.
In the past, Huang Tingzi did not believe Yang Gu’s words. He did not believe a devil lord like Ning Fan could practice his pill refinement mastery to the Fifth Revolution.
However, since he had seen it with his own eyes, how could he refuse to believe it anymore? Now, he not only believed that Ning Fan had Fifth Revolution pill refinement mastery but also the fact that he was better than him in terms of pill refinement!
Yi Yunzi’s eyes which were like wilted leaves lit up at this moment.
Ever since he had joined the Zhou Clan, he had always been calm and tranquil. Even if he faces pill refinement masters like Mo Xiu who was at the same level as him, his state of mind would never be disturbed.
At this moment, however, when he faced Ning Fan’s powerful medicine soul power, he felt a heavy pressure pressing against his entire body. This undoubtedly meant that his medicine soul was slightly weaker than Ning Fan’s.
“This young man isn’t a Sixth Revolution Pill Master but his medicine soul has probably reached the Peak Fifth Revolution! So that’s why the elders told me to be on friendly terms with him. I didn’t expect for his pill refinement mastery to actually be so strong!”
From looking shocked, Mo Xiu’s eyes gradually looked temperamental. He sat coldly on his seat.
“Zhou Ming, huh… Humph! He hid himself really well! His medicine soul is indeed not weak. It’s even slightly stronger than mine. However, pill refinement mastery doesn’t only depend on the power of one’s medicine soul!”
The unusual phenomenon in the sky slowly disappeared. Ning Fan walked towards the seats designated for female cultivators.
Yang Gu and Yun Niansu followed behind him.
“Greetings to Master! It has been a while since we last met. Master’s pill refinement mastery has improved again. It really impressed this disciple!” Yang Gu could not contain his excitement. Ning Fan just indifferently nodded his head as a reply.
“I’m Yun Niansu, a member of the Profound Heaven Palace. Greetings to Brother Zhou.” Yun Niansu cupped his fists and said.
“Profound Heaven Palace…”
Countless thoughts ran across Ning Fan’s mind. He then remembered that Yun Niansu had once invited him for a meeting on Pill Island but he ignored his offer.
Today, their identities had changed. Ning Fan had become a revered elder of the Great Heaven Palace while Yun Niansu was the divine son of the Profound Heaven Palace. Their palaces were friendly with each other. Additionally, Yun Niansu boldly spoke up for Ning Fan and defended his honor just now. Hence, Ning Fan began to have a good impression of him.
He cupped his fists in return right away and had a brief conversation with them. The topic of their conversation was unquestionably related to the Profound Heaven Palace, Pill Ceremony and the matter of becoming a feudal ranking elder of Pill Island.
Among these topics, what Ning Fan was most concerned about was regarding the matter of becoming a feudal ranking elder of Pill Island.
Once he successfully obtains that status, he could then use the Soul Washing Pond in Pill Island to improve his medicine soul again and make preparations for attaining the Sixth Revolution pill refinement realm.
When they talked about that matter, Yang Gu’s expression looked rather awkward. He was constantly blaming himself. He had promised his master, Ning Fan, that he would help make it happen but he has yet to succeed. He really was too embarrassed to look Ning Fan in the eye.
Ning Fan found out that the reason why the members of Pill Island refused to make him a feudal ranking elder was because they did not understand his pill refinement techniques.
After knowing the reason, he was no longer worried about that matter. Today, he would display all of his pill refinement techniques in front of the great elder of Pill Island. If they still refuse to make Ning Fan their feudal ranking elder, they are really blind.
Everyone on the guest seats fell into silence for a while. All of their eyes were on the jade platform.
After the sudden appearance of a shocking Fifth Revolution Pill Master like Ning Fan just now, even when there were Fourth Revolution Pill Masters who came to take their tests, it failed to cause a sensation among the spectators.
Ning Fan was barely interested in those Third Revolution and Fourth Revolution Pill Masters. He did not see the young lord of the Ghost Eye Clan among the crowd. After being threatened by the Pill Sovereign, he was probably extremely scared that he did not even dare to participate in the Pill Ceremony and went back to his clan right away.
One day later, the first round of tests was over. The second round would be held three days later.
Ning Fan and his women returned to their guest house and he briefly told them about his journey in the past month.
All of them then went to rest but Ning Fan opened the door and went out. He stood under the windy and snowy night sky. He remained silent all throughout as if he had become one with the wind and snow.
The Pill Sovereign’s teachings, Old Devil’s concerns and the peaceful and violent memories mixed with the dark sky.
Sixth Revolution pill refinement mastery. Void Refinement Realm cultivation base. Golden Body Refinement Realm. Everything was already so close to his grasp.
He gained a lot but he lost too much in exchange. Living under a false name, continuing on his path in loneliness, meeting his enemies on a narrow path, drawing his sword and confronting them…
“I am a cultivator…”
As soon as Ning Fan said that, he left a jade slip in his room to inform his women where he was headed to.
As he spun, he entered the Yuan Yao World and then the Profound Yin World.
Mu Weiliang was deeply asleep inside the green coffin while Luo You was sleeping soundly in the thatched cottage.
Inwardly, Ning Fan felt relieved. He then repeatedly condensed his medicine soul into a palm in the Profound Yin World, practicing the Heavenly Dipper Imprint that the Pill Sovereign had taught him.
It was a type of Battle Soul Technique that used one’s medicine soul to fight. It was a suitable technique for pill refinement masters to protect themselves when they are refining pills. Of course, there were also ancient pill masters who directly practice Battle Soul Techniques to kill others.
Ning Fan was not interested in cultivating too many Battle Soul Techniques. He just needed one technique to protect himself and that would be enough.
The Heavenly Dipper Imprint was divided into thirty-six styles. When Ning Fan conjured a palm imprint using his Peak Fifth Revolution medicine soul, the destructive power of a single layer would be comparable to that of a Peak Divine Transformation Realm strike.
The result of three days of bitter cultivation in the Profound Yin World was equivalent to three hundred days of cultivation in the outside world.
In three days, Ning Fan successfully cultivated the second style and the third style of the Heavenly Dipper Imprint. After learning these two styles, Ning Fan could deliver three layers of Heavenly Dipper Imprints using his medicine soul and it would be equivalent to a Void Glimpse Stage attack.
Three days later, Ning Fan left the Profound Yin World. When he arrived at the jade platform in the province, his women had already been waiting there for quite some time.
After the first round of eliminations, 5000 pill refinement masters were reduced to 1500.
In the second round, a lot of Third Revolution Pill Masters would be eliminated. If there are outstanding Third Revolution Pill Masters, they would be recruited by some forces as feudal ranking elders. That’s why many Third Revolution Pill Masters would still give their best effort even though they knew they could not pass through this round.
The large group of pill masters who were gathered there was then escorted to a snow valley outside the province by the Eight Devil Divisions of the Giant Devil Clan in order to participate in the second test.
The spiritual qi of the snow valley was extremely dense. Besides that, a grand formation which gathers spiritual qi has been set up in the area. The speed of melting spiritual herbs and refining pills in the valley was a few times faster than in the outside world.
Within the vicinity of one hundred thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang), one thousand five hundred mini jade platforms were built. The participants would melt spiritual herbs and refine pills on the jade platforms respectively assigned to them.
Ning Fan stood at his jade platform quietly. There was a table made out of jade in front of him. Two tufts of one thousand years old spiritual herbs had been placed on that table. They were called Purple Jade Banyan.
When he glanced at the surroundings of the snow valley, he was mildly surprised.
Yi Yunzi, Huang Tingzi and Mo Xiu had all joined the second test. With their identities, they should have skipped this round directly.
After noticing Ning Fan glancing at them, Yi Yunzi and Huang Tingzi made a friendly smile.
Only the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace, Mo Xiu, looked at Ning Fan with piercing eyes. With a cold smirk, he said.
“Revered Ming’s pill refinement mastery is extraordinary. Today, I deliberately came to learn from you.”
“I see…” Ning Fan nodded. So the reason these three individuals suddenly decided to join the second round was all because of him. Were they trying to find out who was better?
As a pill refinement master, it was unavoidable to have an exchange of techniques and advice with other pill masters. If they held kind intentions, Ning Fan would, of course, be more than willing to join them. However, if someone harbors a malicious intention…
Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with a hint of cold light. If Mo Xiu dares to cause him trouble, he would not mind giving him a lesson!
Countless tall platforms which were suspended in midair were built in the surroundings of the snow valley. The spectators could look at the progress of all participants from above.
Countless cultivators were having animated discussions among themselves. The most popular topics today were all actually related to Ning Fan.
He had a medicine soul that could startle everyone in the arena. Moreover, he was the Pill Sovereign half disciple. Everyone was guessing on what kind of results would Ning Fan obtain in the second round.
Great Elder Fu Bai made a dry cough and the entire arena turned silent.
“The second round will examine all the Fellow Daoist here in terms of your speed in melting spiritual herbs and your ability to refine spiritual medicine. Beside every one of you, there are two tufts of one thousand years old Purple Jade Banyan. You are only required to successfully melt and refine one of them. After that, you can register your result. If you fail once, you will still have another chance on the second tuft. If you fail to melt or refine both tufts of spiritual herbs, your result will naturally be recorded as ‘Failed’.”
“Apart from that, we’ve set a time limit for you to melt the spiritual herbs and another limit on the number of attempts in refining the medicine. If you take more than four hours to completely melt the spiritual herbs or refine the medicine less than 10 times, you will be disqualified!”
“The test begins!”
As soon as Elder Fu Bai’s voice fell, countless pill masters took out their pill cauldrons and summoned fire with their magic power. All of them began to melt the one thousand years old Purple Jade Banyan.
To Third Revolution Pill Masters, completely melting a Purple Jade Banyan within four hours and then refining the medicinal liquid 10 times was an extremely difficult mission to accomplish.
Moreover, it also wasn’t a simple task to Fourth Revolution Pill Masters.
To Fifth Revolution Pill Masters, however, it was as easy as raising their hands to melt the Purple Jade Banyan within the allotted time. What they needed to do was to give their best effort in refining the medicinal liquid as many times as possible.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
Other than Ning Fan, Yi Yunzi, Huang Tingzi and Mo Xiu who were the pill refinement grandmasters there, there were 17 Fifth Revolution Pill Masters in total who condensed their cauldrons using the power of their intent realm and summoned massive pill cauldrons.
They then sent columns of bright and dazzling flames into their respective pill cauldrons. The might of the varying flames soared into the sky.
All of a sudden, countless cries of surprise resounded from the audience seats that were suspended in the air.
“Look! That is the Low Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Master, Daoist Wu Chen. The intent realm he is using to transform his cauldron is none other than the Divine Intent of Wood which is an Eighth Grade Divine Intent!”
“*Clicks tongue* Look! Isn’t that the protector of the Bright Feather Country?! He is a Mid Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Master. Look at the flame he’s using to concoct pills. It’s actually a combination of 9 types of Fourth Grade Spiritual Flames. Its destructive power is nearly on par with an Earth Vein Demonic Flame!”
“What?! That pill master who’s also a devil cultivator actually condensed his pill cauldron using an Eighth Grade Devil Intent!”
“It’s an Earth Vein Demonic Flame! Look! Isn’t that person using the White Bone Flame which ranks 11th among the twelve Earth Vein Demonic Flames? Aiya. It isn’t true. It seems to be just a lesser flame of the White Bone Flame… However, even though it’s a lesser flame, it’s still extremely difficult to obtain.”
Exclamations constantly filled the snow valley. Even Ning Fan’s brows began to slightly knit together.
The Pill Ceremony was truly an unprecedentedly grand occasion. It had gathered so many Fifth Revolution Pill Masters. Using Eighth Grade intent realms to form pill cauldrons was just a norm here. Even the lesser flame of the Earth Vein Demonic Flames was not rare in this place.
Now, only Ning Fan and the other three pill refinement grandmasters had yet to form their pill cauldrons using their intent realm.
Huang Tingzi made a gentle smile and then clawed at the air with five of his fingers. Boiling hot Divine Intent of Fire turned into a gigantic fire cauldron.
The Divine Intent of Fire was initially an Eighth Grade Divine Intent. However, after Huang Tingzi had gone through a lot of bitter cultivation, it advanced into the Seventh Grade.
As soon as his Seventh Grade Divine Intent appeared, it immediately stirred up a commotion among countless cultivators. As Huang Tingzi continued to summon flames with his magic power, he nodded with a smile.
“As the saying goes, ‘Throw away a brick to get a gem’. This old man has already taken the lead. My fellow Daoists, when are you going to summon your ‘gems’?”
“Hehe. It’s time for me to show my incompetence.” Yi Yunzi’s eyes which looked as dead as wilted leaves suddenly lit up with a flash of brightness.
He clawed at the air with his large hands. Pieces of broken branches and wilted leaves which was the power of his intent realm gradually formed into a huge dark yellow cauldron.
This large cauldron was also condensed using a Seventh Grade Divine Intent.
When this cauldron appeared, countless cultivators were filled with enthusiasm. They also gasped with astonishment. To them, being able to witness two types of Seventh Grade Divine Intent was really exciting.
Ning Fan nodded. Both Huang Tingzi and Yi Yunzi’s respective divine intents were not weak. The quality of the pill cauldrons they condensed was not a feat ordinary Fifth Revolution Pill Masters could accomplish.
Mo Xiu snorted. Disdainfully, he said.
“Those are just Seventh Grade Divine Intent. There is nothing worth being proud about them. Cauldron, condense!”
Mo Xiu clawed with his huge hands. An intent realm power that was a few times stronger than Huang Tingzi and Yi Yunzi’s condensed into a massive golden cauldron.
Just as this cauldron appeared, the expressions of innumerable cultivators changed greatly. Even Huang Tingzi and Yi Yunzi were also stunned by what they saw.
“A Sixth Grade Divine Intent! Mo Xiu, your intent realm has actually broken through to the Sixth Grade!”
“Not just this, even my flame is not something both of your flames can compare! Flame, appear!”
Mo Xiu swung one of his hands and three traces of vigorous flames shot out from the tip of his finger. Three of them combined into a raging pure golden flame and went into his cauldron.
The eyes of countless cultivators mindlessly stared at Mo Xiu’s pill cauldron. All of them were filed with disbelief.
If they did not see wrongly, the flame that Mo Xiu was using was actually a combination of three different types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames!
The destructive power of that combination was comparable to a common Sixth Grade Mortal Void Flame!
“Impossible! How can you possess three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames!” Both Huang Tingzi and Yi Yunzi found it hard to believe. Yun Niansu who was far away frowned sternly and shouted with rage.
“Aren’t these the three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames the Rain Sovereign has temporarily stored in the Scarlet Heaven Palace?! The Rain Sovereign has said that these flames had just been temporarily stored in the Scarlet Heaven Palace. They will be given to Zhou Ming in the future. How dare you devour these flames without permission?! How dare you?!”
“Yun Niansu! Mind your words! Even though you are one of the divine sons of this generation, you are just a revered elder at the end of the day while I am a palace lord of one of the Nine Palaces! Our status is different. You don’t deserve to question me!”
Mo Xiu laughed coldly. He was the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace and he was the one responsible for looking after the three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames. He had gained Yun Jinghong’s approval in making use of them at will before these flames were passed on to Ning Fan.
After all, no one knew how many more years it would take for him to head to the Middle State and accomplish the Rain Sovereign’s mission.
And so, what’s the problem with Mo Xiu using these demonic flames first?!
With a Sixth Grade intent realm and three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames, the attention Mo Xiu received at this very moment overwhelmed all pill masters including Huang Tingzi and Yi Yunzi.
He then stared coldly at Ning Fan. Neither happiness nor anger could be heard from his voice.
“The path of pill refinement not only requires a strong medicine soul but also a pill cauldron of extraordinary quality and flames that are compatible with your level. Zhou Ming. According to some rumors, you killed Revered Flame with a mysterious black flame, didn’t you? You are a revered elder of the Great Heaven Palace and you represent it and are responsible for upholding its reputation. I am the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace and I naturally represent the glory of my palace. Why don’t you hurry up and summon your pill cauldron and flame to compete with me on behalf of your Great Heaven Palace?”
“On behalf of my Great Heaven Palace, huh…?”
Ning Fan’s eyes turned grim. He knew that the reason why Mo Xiu kept targeting him was because of his identity as a revered elder of the Great Heaven Palace.
Yun Jinghong and Yun Tianjue were like fire and water. Both of them do not get along with each other. Therefore, the Scarlet Heaven Palace and the Great Heaven Palace that they respectively led were also the same.
Without a doubt, the reason for Mo Xiu being so aggressive against Ning Fan was to tarnish the reputation of the Great Heaven Palace by suppressing him.
The members of the so-called righteous Dao are always immersed in conflicts, fights and even schemes against each other. They were not that straightforward like the cultivators of the devil path, especially in how they resolve their grudges.
Ning Fan glanced at Mo Xiu’s pill cauldron. He recognized the three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames.
There was the Burning Spirit Flame which ranked 10th out of all the Earth Vein Demonic Flames. It had the mysterious divine ability of producing flames by burning spirits.
There was the Hundred Grass Flame which ranked 6th. It was one of the most suitable flames for refining pills.
Lastly, there was the Golden Scale Flame which ranked second. It was a flame that could be used for offense or defense. In crucial times, this flame could be turned into a golden scale fire armor which had a strong defense to protect one’s body.
These three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames should have originally belonged to him!
“Are the members of the Great Heaven Palace so cowardly? Are you afraid of competing with my pill cauldron and flames?” Mo Xiu said with contempt.
*Bang*
Ning Fan was too lazy to argue with Mo Xiu. He clawed with his five fingers. Moments later, all the white snow within the vicinity of one hundred thousand li*(500m per li) turned black.
As Ning Fan beckoned at the black snowflakes, they instantly formed into a gigantic black octagon-shaped cauldron with three legs and six angles.
That pill cauldron was not perfect but it contained memories Ning Fan could never forget in his entire life.
As soon as his cauldron appeared, the pill cauldrons of all Fifth Revolution Pill Masters showed signs of collapsing!
Particularly Mo Xiu’s whom Ning Fan had especially taken care of, his large pure golden cauldron was literally turned into countless fragments by the might of Ning Fan’s cauldron!
There was a domineering intent in the black pill cauldron Ning Fan summoned.
My pill cauldron is the sovereign and the tens of thousands of cauldrons will be my underlings!
“What level is this intent realm?! What level is that pill cauldron?!” Mo Xiu gnashed his teeth in surprise.
He had never seen a pill refinement master who could crush other’s pill cauldrons using just the might of the cauldron they condensed from the power of their intent realm.
The audience fell into dead silence. All of them were dumbfounded by this terrific scene.
Ning Fan no longer had the intention to conceal his intent realm and his flame.
His strength and identity were enough to let him live with his head up high in the Rain World and no longer needed to lower his head and kneel before anyone!
“Flame, appear!”
With a flick of his finger, nine black fire dragons flew out from the tip of his finger!
It was the form of the Black Devil Flames which was an extremely impressive disguise.
This disguise was also a secret technique the Pill Sovereign had taught to Ning Fan.
Even though the form of his flame was nine black fire dragons, the destructive power of his flame was directly on par with a Mid Level Seventh Grade Immortal Void Flame!
“Impossible! The might of this flame is fake! You are just a revered elder. No matter how important the Rain Sovereign and the Pill Sovereign regards you, there is no way you could possess a Mid Level Seventh Grade Flame!”
“This can’t be true. You can’t fool me! This is just a mass of Black Devil Flame which ranks seventh among the Earth Vein Demonic Flames. It’s nothing more than a simple Black Devil Flame!”
“This is all fake. Just watch me devour your flame!”
Mo Xiu’s eyes flashed with golden light. When he made a hand seal, the three Earth Vein Demonic Flames from the fragments of his broken pill cauldron merged into a single raging pure golden fire.
The fire changed into the form of a carp with golden scales. Then, it changed again and turned into a pure golden dragon. Its mouth exhaled golden flames. It turned towards Ning Fan’s black flame with its mouth open, trying to engulf it!
Countless cultivators could no longer sit still. They did not expect that such an incident where one would seize the other’s flame would happen in the Pill Ceremony.
Just as everyone thought that Mo Xiu’s golden flame would devour Ning Fan’s black flame for sure, something unbelievable happened.
The might of the combination of three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames was comparable to that of a Sixth Revolution Golden Fire Dragon. However, when it got closer to the nine black dragons, it shivered all of a sudden and began to look afraid.
The nine dragons let out roars which sounded devilish and menacing. One of the black dragons effortlessly swung its dragon claw which immediately ripped apart the fire body of the golden dragon.
“Devour!”
Ning Fan took advantage of the right moment. The nine black dragons suddenly released a golden purple mist that literally erased the mark of ownership on the golden flame. Then, they opened their mouths and absorbed it all.
In an instant, the golden dragon was completely devoured by the black dragons. Then, Ning Fan opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the black dragons into his abdomen. His eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Great. Now, he had obtained the three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames that should have belonged to him in the first place!
*Puke*
Mo Xiu puked blood and retreated several steps consecutively. He could not believe what had just happened. Ning Fan actually erased his mark of ownership on the three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames during their battle and forcibly seized them!
Especially Ning Fan’s black dragon fire, it gave him a huge sensation of shock.
He could not understand what exact level that black flame was. It was so terrifying!
If Ning Fan possesses Peak Void Refinement Realm strength and fully activates the might of this flame, he could probably put up a fight against a First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm old monster!
“How dare you seize my flames?!” Mo Xiu roared in anger. If it wasn’t because of Ning Fan’s unique identity, he would definitely have dashed towards him and fought with him.
“I’m just letting you have a taste of your own medicine. Since you were even bold enough to try to devour my flame, I seized yours. What’s wrong about it?! Besides, these three types of earth flames are something the Rain Sovereign promised me. You are just responsible for taking care of them. What’s wrong if I take them back?!”
“Even so, the might of your black flame is comparable to a Mid Level Seventh Grade Immortal Void Flame. You don’t deserve to have this kind of flame. It should be offered to the Rain Sovereign and let him use it however he wants!” Mo Xiu said with a grim voice.
“This black flame is a gift that my master kindly bestowed upon me. The Rain Sovereign will never seize my flame!”
When Ning Fan finally said those words, it immediately eliminated the malicious thoughts and schemes of countless cultivators who were eyeing his black flame.
The ‘master’ he mentioned referred to the Old Devil but everyone thought that he was referring to the Pill Sovereign.
Who would dare to snatch the flame the Pill Sovereign gave to his disciple?! Whoever does it will be making an enemy out of the Pill Sovereign!
In the entire Rain World, no one would be willing to provoke the Pill Sovereign for a single flame!
“Mo Xiu, I showed you respect as I treated you as the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace. I put up with you time after time. But if you dare to provoke me again, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent. The current Mo Xiu suffered a heavy backlash after Ning Fan seized his flames. If Ning Fan turns into his devil form, he would have forty percent confidence in killing him.
He had become a very useful person to the Rain Palace. Even if he really kills Mo Xiu, no one would hold him accountable. At most, they would punish him or take revenge on him after they are finished using him.
Mo Xiu’s eyes flashed with surprise. He held his chest and slowly moved backwards.
He actually noticed killing intent in Ning Fan’s eyes!
Mo Xiu was aware of the Yellow Dragon Seven Tokens that Ning Fan possessed. The destructive power of the seven tokens was nearly on par with a Void Pierce Stage attack.
If Mo Xiu was in his best condition, he would not be afraid of Ning Fan. Now, however, he had just suffered a serious backlash and his qi and blood had been jammed up. If Ning Fan delivers that attack, the probability of him suffering severe injuries would be very high.
What should I do now? Should I give up on this test and leave right now to avoid confrontation with this young man? He has a powerful magic treasure in his hands. If I fight desperately, I will surely suffer a huge loss!
While Mo Xiu was hesitating, countless faint purple orchid flowers suddenly fell from the vast sky.
Amidst the shower of orchid flowers, a mysterious and evil young king appeared out of nowhere. He stood in midair. His glabella also had a touch of cinnabar. He had an expression that was cold and arrogant.
“Mo Xiu, don’t be anxious. You can continue the second round with peace of mind. I will be right here guarding you!”
Just as the voice fell, the owner of that voice looked down at Ning Fan ferociously, as if he was warning him.
“Yun Jinghong and I have a friendly relationship. With me here, you won’t be able to touch his people!”
“King Lan Ling!”
Ning Fan looked at the arrogant young man in midair. His expression became stern.
With that man around, he had no confidence in killing Mo Xiu at all.
Besides, when King Lan Ling showed himself, Mo Xiu immediately consumed some pills to suppress his internal injuries. His qi became normal again very quickly.
Ning Fan had lost the perfect opportunity to get rid of Mo Xiu.
“How unfortunate…”
Ning Fan randomly grabbed a Purple Jade Banyan and threw it into his pill cauldron.
It was really unfortunate that he could not eliminate Mo Xiu in one go this time.
However, he had a feeling that Mo Xiu would still come after him. After all, he was not a palace lord who could swallow insult and humiliation.
To Mo Xiu, having his Earth Vein Demonic Flames seized in the eyes of the public was definitely shameful.
On the other hand, Ning Fan also sensed that the eight traces of obscure spirit senses that were hiding in the dark became nervous when King Lan Ling appeared.
“Is there going to be a scene where dogs fight against each other again…?” Ning Fan had a hunch that there would probably be a good show later.
…
In Ju Mo’s Broken World, the Eight Ancestors who had been observing the progress of the Pill Ceremony from the beginning until now made a solemn expression during King Lan Ling’s arrival.
“King Lan Ling… I’m afraid the reason why this man came to our Giant Devil Clan is for the devil statue slate…”
“The devil slate of the Six-Winged Clan has already fallen into his hands. He isn’t anxious to seize the devil slates of the Mist Horn Clan and the Ghost Eye Clan but he came to our clan instead. Obviously, he has something in mind.”
“Humph! If he comes with his true self, I will be afraid of him. However, it’s just his second primordial spirit that has come this time. If he dares to sneak into Ju Mo’s Broken World with a sinister plot, I will make sure he won’t be able to return!”
