Duo Lan … Daughter of an Immortal Emperor … Guardian of the Sacred Mountain … Tri-Flame Guards …
Ning Fan's eyes flickered. From the moment the lady asked for help to hiding behind him, she only said two sentences. However, these sentences contained a lot of information.
She knew that he was an external cultivator of the Ta Mu Sect. The force behind her was the guardian of the Sacred Mountain. She seemed to have the background of an Immortal Emperor …
As for the black-armored guards, they were the Tri-Flame Guards. This term was very unfamiliar to Ning Fan. It was his first time hearing about it after entering the Great Humble Tribe. However, it was not his first time meeting the Tri-Flame Guards. He had met them a few times before and he could vaguely tell that they were very hostile towards the so-called guardian of the Sacred Mountain … If there were no accidents, the relationship between the Tri-Flame Guards and the guardian of the Sacred Mountain was very likely to be hostile!
According to Ning Fan's original intention, he did not want to offend either party since he had just entered the Great Humble Tribe and was not clear about the situation of the Sacred Mountain and the Tri-Flame Guards. Even if the red-haired lady wanted to drag him into the muddy water, it would depend on whether he was willing to do it or not!
Seeing the few Tri-Flame Guards coming at him from all directions, Ning Fan took a few steps back to avoid their attacks while explaining calmly.
"I'm an external cultivator of the Ta Mu Sect. I'm not the guardian of the Sacred Mountain. I don't know these two people and I have no intention to interfere in your dispute."
As he moved backwards, he naturally left Duo Lan who was seeking protection behind. He did not intend to save her at all.
As soon as Duo Lan saw that Ning Fan actually abandoned her and was unwilling to help her, she was both shocked and annoyed. If they were in the Sacred Mountain, there were almost no men who would reject her request with her beauty. However, the man in front of her was so cold and indifferent. He actually ignored her beauty!
What a man who doesn't know how to be kind to women!
At this moment, her magic power was almost depleted. Even if she were to face Du Zhen's joint attack, she would still be in great danger. She gritted her teeth and no longer cared that her warm face was stuck to the cold buttocks. She followed closely behind Ning Fan and retreated together with him. Wherever Ning Fan went, she would hide there as she was afraid that she would be besieged by the black armored guards again.
This man is an immortal revered throughout the ages! Even if his cultivation base was sealed by Shengxing, there was no need for him to be so afraid of a few Du Zhen and She Kong. Saving a beauty should be as easy as flipping his palm to him. However, he was not willing to help her. It was either he was not capable enough or he was extremely cowardly! Of course, it was also possible that this person was extremely cautious and was unwilling to interfere in the conflict between the Sacred Mountain and the three flames. But didn't this person know that as an external cultivator, if he wanted to establish a foothold in Da Bei, he had to make a choice between the two? It was impossible to remain neutral!
With that in mind, Duo Lan hid behind Ning Fans back and intentionally misled the guards' judgment.
"Junior Apprentice-Brother, are you still blaming Senior Apprentice-Sister? Why aren't you willing to admit your identity as the gravekeeper? Or could it be that Junior Martial Brother is extremely afraid of the Tri-Flame Guards and only wants to escape alone, unwilling to save Senior Martial Sister? "
He had actually made up his mind to drag Ning Fan into this mess! Hmph, if you want to play it safe, you have to see if I, Doran, will agree!
The black armored guards sneered and ignored Ning Fans explanation. They continued to attack Ning Fans with murderous intents and magical treasures.
Ning Fan glared at Duo Lan fiercely and explained to the black-armored guards again. "I am indeed not the tomb guardian of the Holy Mountain. If you don't believe me, you can check the Punishment Ring in my body! Don't kill the wrong person! "
Only one or two of the black-armored guards slowed down their attacks, as if they really wanted to check the authenticity of the Punishment Ring. But more of the black-armored guards' attacks became fiercer. Some of them even sneered.
"Hmph, he is just an external cultivator. It doesn't matter if I kill the wrong person! It is no different from killing cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs! There is no need to check your Punishment Ring! "
"This person might not have nothing to do with the tomb guardian of the Holy Mountain. It is not enough to make a clean break with just a few words!"
"Quickly kill this person and use his head as a reward!"
"Even if this person is not the tomb guardian, I am afraid that he is related to Duo Lan. We must not let him go!"
The arrogant attitude of the black-armored guards made Ning Fans expression turn cold. It seemed that no matter how he explained today's matter, he would still be involved in this mess!
It was all because of that woman called Duo Lan!
"I don't want to become enemies with all of you. Do you really have to do it?" Ning Fan's tone became cold.
* Boom! * Boom! * Boom! *
What answered him was the frenzied attack of the black-armored guards! These people had made up their minds. They would rather kill three thousand innocent people today than to let Ning Fan go unjustly!
As such, Ning Fan was too lazy to talk nonsense with these black-armored guards.
Even though he was worried about befriending the Great Humble Clan, it would be a different story if the black-armored guards kept forcing him. Even though he did not like to be used as a tool, he had no choice but to use it now that things had come to this!
Besides, this place was located in the Ominous Region which was extremely remote. As long as he killed all of them and cut off the karma, no one would know that he had killed the Tri-Flame Guards in the future. He might not necessarily become enemies with the Great Humble Clan.
When the black-armored guards saw that Ning Fan did not dare to fight back, they became even more arrogant. They wanted to attack again but all of a sudden, their expressions changed drastically!
Ning Fan's eyes glinted with cold light. He no longer retreated or dodged. No matter how the attacks landed on his body, they were instantly drowned in the blinding light.
"This person must be crazy. He actually dares to take our attacks head-on …"
One of the black-armored guards harrumphed disdainfully. However, at the next moment, his disdain turned into astonishment and then into fear.
A human figure slowly walked out from the blinding light. He completely ignored their attacks. None of the attacks could break the defense of his physical body. The strength of his physical body shocked the Du Zhen guards.
This was the strength of a Ninth Nirvana Heavenly Devil! Ordinary attacks from Du Zhen could not even break the defense of his physical body!
Ning Fan's figure flashed and appeared in front of a black-armored guard. Even though he did not move at his full speed, he was already like a ghost in the eyes of a mere Du Zhen guard. That black-armored guard did not even have the time to react and his chest was already hit by Ning Fan's fist!
Under the tremendous force, the black armor on his body crumbled almost instantly. This kind of crumbling was not an ordinary kind of crumbling. Instead, it was a kind of destruction on the level of law! Then, even his physical body exploded into a mist of blood in an instant. It was so shattered that it could not be any more shattered. Naturally, he died. Even his primordial spirit could not escape!
"What a terrifying physical body. A casual punch from this person is actually stronger than many Acquired Magic Treasures!"
The other Du Zhen guards were shocked. They immediately retreated. How could they not know that Ning Fan was a tough opponent that Du Zhen could not match? Unfortunately, it was a little too late for them to retreat now.
Ning Fan's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace. Almost at the same time, the few Du Zhen's black armored guards who were retreating hurriedly felt chills running down their spines. A black shadow flashed past their eyes but none of them could see the movements of the black shadow clearly. Before they could even react, they were already hit by waves of tremendous force. One after another, their bodies exploded and their blood splattered across the sky!
The shocking turn of events immediately attracted the attention of the other black-armored guards!
The expressions of the three Peak Shedding Void Realm old men darkened. As a matter of fact, the three of them had already noticed Ning Fan the moment he appeared. However, none of them paid any attention to him. None of them expected that this seemingly cowardly external cultivator would actually dare to attack the Tri-Flame Guards and kill them!
"How dare a mere external cultivator kill our Tri-Flame Guards? You must pay with your life! Thunder Soul Transformation Bow! "
One of the black-armored old men was so angry that he laughed. As soon as he gave the order, he led a dozen of his Tri-Flame Guards and rushed towards Ning Fan. When he got close to Ning Fan, he rubbed his hands together. Immediately, purple light gathered in his palms and turned into a small thunderbolt bow.
The small bow was not a physical object. Instead, it was formed by the power of his medicine soul. The medicine soul was the unique ability of a pill refinement master. If a pill refinement master was proficient in the Battle Soul Technique, he or she could merge the power of his medicine soul into his ability. This was what the cultivators of the Great Humble Clan were best at.
"Soul Fusion!"
The dozen of Du Zhen guards behind the black-armored old man roared at the same time. They released their medicine souls and merged them into the old man's body. All of a sudden, the black-armored old man's cultivation base rose rapidly. In just a short period of time, he had already reached the Early Thought Fragmentation Realm! The lightning on the small thunderbolt bow in his hand became even brighter!
"Fire from Lightning in the Sky … Lightning Sacrificial Arrow Fire!"
The black-armored old man drew his bow and shot it. Immediately, a scarlet flame wrapped around the bow and it turned into a fire arrow that shot towards Ning Fan.
The fire arrow was surrounded by lightning arcs. It carried the might of lightning and fire. It vaguely connected with the great momentum of heaven and earth, causing the temperature of heaven and earth to rise abruptly. Those Du Zhen guards could not withstand the might of the arrow. After they merged their souls, they immediately retreated in a hurry.
The black-armored old man looked at the arrow light in the sky confidently. This technique was his strongest trump card. It had once helped him severely injure an Early Thought Fragmentation Realm expert with his Peak Shedding Void Realm cultivation base!
Ning Fan's eyes also turned slightly serious. However, that was all. His opponent's Soul Fusion Secret Technique was very strange. It could actually increase one's cultivation base within a short period of time by stacking their medicine souls. It was quite mysterious. This arrow might really be able to injure an ordinary Early Thought Fragmentation Realm expert. However, it was far from enough to hurt him!
Facing the incoming arrow, Ning Fan directly waved his devil palm and grabbed the light of the lightning arrow. He was not afraid of the sharpness of the arrow at all.
"This young man is courting death!" The black-armored old man smiled disdainfully.
As if it was responding to the black-armored old man's words, the lightning fire in Ning Fan's palm suddenly trembled like a lightning snake. All of a sudden, it shot out countless lightning arcs and struck Ning Fan's body.
The power of the lightning arcs was quite impressive. However, with the strength of Ning Fan's physical body, he only felt a slight numbness when the lightning arcs hit him. It was not enough to break the defense of his physical body. This was the result of him not using the Tai Su Lightning Star. If he used it, he would not even feel a slight numbness!
Ning Fan's face showed no mercy. He exerted his palm force and shattered the lightning arrow in his palm. As the essence qi around his body circulated, the ancient devil might was released without any reservation. Towering devil qi pressed down like countless dark clouds. As the devil might continued to rise to its peak, Ning Fan let out a devil roar. This roar contained all the power of the Heavenly Devil Nine Nirvana!
* Roar *
The ancient devil roar was also a great offensive technique! There was only one roar. However, when it reverberated in heaven and earth, it turned into ten roars and then into a hundred roars. In an instant, there were tens of thousands of roars reverberating in the air, shaking the heavens!
It did not sound like a human's roar. Instead, it sounded like the roar of a wild beast or a landslide. It sounded like the blood of an ancient devil was flowing in reverse!
The black-armored old man felt an unparalleled devil sense blasting into his ears. As soon as he heard it, he felt as if he had suffered a heavy blow. He was sent flying backwards while coughing out blood. His ears were buzzing and his blood even showed signs of flowing in reverse. He could barely hold the lightning bow in his hand. His expression when he looked at Ning Fan was filled with astonishment for the first time.
The devil roar swept across the area like a drop of black ink falling on a piece of white paper in heaven and earth. It spread in all directions crazily. Behind the black-armored old man, a few of the Three Flame Guards whose cultivation base was only at the Du Zhen Realm had their Sea of Consciousness shattered by Ning Fan's roar. They screamed and died! The remaining Du Zhen also coughed out blood. Even though he did not die, his Sea of Consciousness was severely damaged. It was difficult for him to even maintain his flight!
In the distance, the man with the huge sword was being besieged by dozens of black-armored guards. The devil roar appeared without any warning. Before the two parties who were fighting each other could react, each of them coughed out blood due to the impact of the roar. It was simply an indiscriminate attack.
Even the red-haired lady named Duo Lan could not escape from the attack of the devil roar. Her body which was already extremely weak in the first place was actually severely injured by the roar!
The devil roar continued to sweep across the area, setting off countless sound waves and colliding with the restriction that sealed heaven and earth. That was a restriction that not even a Peak Shedding Void Cultivator could break. However, it directly crumbled under Ning Fan's roar!
The seal of this place was lifted!
"An ancient devil! It's actually a Ninth Nirvana Heavenly Devil! "
The black-armored old man who was holding the lightning bow was filled with astonishment. This is the roar of an ancient devil. There's no mistaking it! Only the ancient devil clan would have such a domineering and ferocious devil roar!
If Ning Fan was just an ancient devil, it would not be enough to scare him. The key was that Ning Fan's ancient devil cultivation base had at least reached the Ninth Nirvana Heavenly Devil Realm! A Ninth Nirvana Heavenly Devil was no longer someone who could be defeated by an ordinary Early Thought Fragmentation Realm cultivator! The elderly man with the lightning bow was not really at the Early Thought Fragmentation Realm. He had just used the Soul Fusion Secret Technique to temporarily raise his cultivation base to this level. Moreover, the increase in his cultivation base only lasted for a moment. At this moment, his cultivation base had already fallen back to the Peak Shedding Void Cultivator and he even felt a little weak. It was the side effect of the Soul Fusion Secret Technique!
They, the Three Flame Guards, had only sent out a total of three Peak Shedding Void Cultivators. Even if they joined forces, they still might not be a match for this Ninth Nirvana Heavenly Devil!
However, even if they could not defeat him, they still had to face him head-on! Killing the tomb guardian of the Holy Mountain was their mission. If they fail, they would also die!
"Kill!"
The three black-armored old men who were at the Peak Shedding Void Cultivator gave the same order at almost the same time. Each of the fearless black armored guards ignited their primordial spirits, wanting to fight Ning Fan to the death.
All of them went to besiege Ning Fan! This was a chance for the two tomb guardians of the Holy Mountain!
At this moment, there were only a few Du Zhen Black Armored Guards who were fighting against the man with the huge sword. The man with the huge sword had a cultivation base at the Peak Shedding Void Cultivator after all. Even though he had been besieged for many days and his body was weak, he still managed to break through the blockade of a few Du Zhen Black Armored Guards with great effort. Then, he rode on a ray of light and ran away.
Duo Lan who was hiding not far behind Ning Fan also took the opportunity to run away.
Especially Duo Lan. After hearing Ning Fan's indiscriminate devil roar, she had a clearer understanding of Ning Fan's coldness and ruthlessness. If her cultivation base was slightly weaker, she would probably have been killed by the devil roar just now just like those unlucky Tri-Flame Guards! From this point, she could tell that Ning Fan did not plan to save them at all. He was even more indifferent towards her pleas for help just now. Otherwise, he could have used other abilities to hurt his enemies instead of using this devil roar which could not differentiate between friend and foe!
No. It was not that he could not differentiate between friend and foe. It was because Ning Fan had regarded all the cultivators in this place as his enemies! The Tri-Flame Guards wanted to kill him. Therefore, they were his enemies. Duo Lan had plotted against him and forcefully dragged him into the muddy water. Therefore, she was also regarded as his enemy!
Duo Lan suddenly understood this point!
Ridiculous. This is just too ridiculous! With her beauty, identity and status, not only did she not receive any help from a mere external cultivator, she even became his enemy!
"This person was plotted against by me first. That's why he views me as his enemy! Now that he has already killed the Tri-Flame Guards, it's not certain that he won't make a move against us tomb guardians … "Thinking of this, Duo Lan did not dare to stay any longer in this place. She hurriedly ran away together with the man with the huge sword.
"41 Tri-Flame Guards. 2 tomb guardians of the sacred mountain …"
Seeing that Duo Lan and the man with the huge sword had escaped, Ning Fan's eyes slightly narrowed. However, he decided to ignore them for the time being. Facing the ferocious attacks of the black armored guards, Ning Fan remained expressionless. He lifted one of his feet and took a step in the sky. His entire body turned into a ray of golden light and disappeared from his original spot. In an instant, he appeared near the black armored guards one after another.
Most of the black armored guards who were at the True Enlightenment Realm could not even withstand a single punch or kick from him. In just ten breaths of time, there were only three Peak Shedding Void Realm black armored old men left.
Another twenty breaths of time passed. Even the three black armored old men had died in Ning Fan's hands.
Killing these black armored guards did not give Ning Fan a sense of accomplishment. However, what surprised him was that these Tri-Flame Guards were extremely unyielding. Even when the last one of them died in battle and they were suppressed by his ancient devil might, they did not have the slightest intention of retreating or begging for mercy until the last one of them died in battle … "
Ning Fan would not hesitate to praise those cultivators who dared to fight to the death even if they were his enemies. Unfortunately, enemies were still enemies. In the path of life and death, he naturally would not show any mercy to them. After searching through the memories of the three black armored old men, Ning Fan finally had a deeper understanding of the matters of the Great Humble Tribe.
It turned out that the entire Great Humble Tribe was divided into three parts!
The cultivators of the major tribes of the Great Humble Tribe were the descendants of the herb slaves of the Herb Gatherer Saint.
The tomb guardians of the sacred mountain were the descendants of the Herb Gatherer Saint, Good Corpse.
The Tri-Flame Guards were the descendants of the Herb Gatherer Saint, Evil Corpse.
In terms of status, all the cultivators of the Great Humble Tribe were just slaves while the tomb guardians and the Tri-Flame Guards were the true masters of the entire inner area of the Holy Region!
"In the past, I only thought that the purpose of befriending the Great Humble Tribe was to befriend those tribes. Now, it seems like I'm wrong … The real decision-makers of the Great Humble Tribe are not the leaders of those tribes or the five emperors of the Middle Province. Instead, they are the two great forces of the Tri-Flame Guards! The Holy Mountain is the sacred land of the Great Humble Prairie. It was formed by the will of the Saint after his death. The Tri-Flame Guards are the collective name of the three tenth grade fierce domains in the Great Humble Tribe. There are only three tenth grade fierce domains in the Great Humble Tribe and all of them are the territories of the Tri-Flame Guards … "
"The Tri-Flame Guards and the Holy Mountain have been enemies since ancient times! If an outsider wants to enter the Great Humble Tribe, he or she must choose one of the two sides to join. This is the rule of the Great Humble Tribe. Otherwise, both sides will become enemies … "
"Most of the tribes in the entire Great Humble Tribe are affiliated to the Holy Mountain. The Ta Mu Tribe that I belong to is also affiliated to the Holy Mountain. Therefore, my action of joining the Ta Mu Tribe is equivalent to choosing the camp of the Holy Mountain. This is something that cannot be changed after I joined the Ta Mu Tribe … It's not difficult to cover up the fact that I killed the Tri-Flame Guards. After all, the lives of the Tri-Flame Guards are even more worthless than grass in the Tri-Flame Guards. Their numbers are even greater. Therefore, very few people would care about their deaths. Besides, the activity range of the Tri-Flame Guards is limited to the fierce domain. They never go out. Thus, it's not a big deal to offend the Tri-Flame Guards. On the other hand, there are not many cultivators in the Holy Mountain. The death of any one of them will cause countless experts of the Holy Mountain to investigate this matter … "
Ning Fan's mind raced.
His original intention was to kill Duo Lan and the man with the huge sword at the same time. However, it seemed like such an action was a little inappropriate now. It could easily lead to more unforeseen events.
After all, when an ordinary mausoleum guardian dies, there would be a lot of people who would investigate it, let alone that woman called Duo Lan … In the memory of the Tri-Flame Guards, Duo Lan's position in the Holy Mountain was rather special …
"It's ominous to kill these two people. However, I can't let them go so easily either. No matter what, they have to pay a price for plotting against me."
Ning Fan released his devil flames and destroyed the corpses of the Tri-Flame Guards. Then, he used a technique to disrupt the karma of the killings in this place. Only then did he go after Duo Lan and the man with the devil flames. Even though the Tri-Flame Guards rarely investigate the deaths of their members, he still decided to be more careful …
…
The man with the huge sword whose name was Pi Xiong was currently fleeing desperately with the saintess Duo Lan.
"Junior Sister, is it really necessary for us to flee in such a hurry? Even though that external cultivator with the surname Ning is strong, he is still restricted by the Damage Ring after all. He might not be able to kill all the Tri-Flame Guards in a short period of time. He might also not dare to continue chasing after us after killing all of them. Since he came out from the space of the mine, he must have found some Six-Star Nirvana Origin Stones. After all, we are the mausoleum guardians of the Holy Mountain. If we force him to give it to us, I don't think he will dare to refuse. Even the reward for the mission can be omitted! Of course, that is unless he wants to offend the cultivators of the Holy Mountain … "Pi Xiong said with a hint of disdain. He did not think that an external cultivator would have the guts to provoke the Holy Mountain. He was determined to get the Six-Star Nirvana Origin Stones.
"Senior Brother, you're wrong! This external cultivator with the surname Ning isn't weak. On the contrary, he is extremely unyielding. In the beginning, the reason why he showed weakness to the Tri-Flame Guards was probably because he wanted to enter Da Bei with an ulterior motive. Because of that, he was very cautious and did not want to offend any forces of Da Bei. Later on, when he realized that his explanation did not make sense, he immediately attacked the Tri-Flame Guards without any hesitation! Since he is so decisive in killing, why would he care about the name of the Holy Mountain?! If such a person decides to attack us, he will definitely not leave any of the Tri-Flame Guards alive! This kind of person is the most ruthless and the most cautious. In order to conceal this matter completely, he might even kill all of us to keep our mouths shut! Now, I just want to escape from his evil clutches but you're still thinking about his Six-Star Nirvana Origin Stones! You're really … "Duo Lan laughed out of anger.
This Senior Brother of mine is too shallow. If it wasn't for his cultivation aptitude, he definitely wouldn't be qualified to become a mausoleum guardian of the Holy Mountain.
Why is he still thinking about that Six-Star Nirvana Origin Stone at such a time?! Does he not want his life anymore?!
"… This external cultivator with the surname Ning's cultivation base is limited. However, he is still an Immortal Venerable in the ancient times. It definitely won't take him too long to kill a few Du Zhen Shekongs! We don't have much time left! We must leave this place as soon as possible to be safe! If he catches up to us, it will be too late for regrets! "Duo Lan continued.
At this moment, her heart was filled with regret.
If she had known that Ning Fan was a strong-willed person, even if she wanted to ask him for help, she would not use such a scheming method and directly drag him to the opposite side of the Tri-Flame Guards … Such a petty scheme must have angered this external cultivator. Forget it. Anyway, I can use his strength to escape from this place. It's better for me to leave this place as soon as possible!
"Don't blame Senior Brother for talking too much. Junior Sister, you always like to make a big fuss over nothing. No matter how daring that external cultivator with the surname Ning is, he won't dare to attack us. Speaking of which, this external cultivator with the surname Ning is indeed hateful. You have already lowered your voice and begged him for help. Not only did he not save you, but he also let out a devil roar and attacked us indiscriminately, causing our injuries to worsen! Humph! If it wasn't for the closed tomb period, I, Pi Xiong, could easily summon a large group of cultivators from the Holy Mountain to teach this person a lesson with my status! "Pi Xiong snorted coldly.
Just as his voice fell, a thunderous sound suddenly resounded in front of them. A ray of golden light streaked across the sky. Within the golden light, a person slowly walked out and blocked the path of Pi Xiong and Duo Lan.
"Not good!"
Duo Lan's beautiful face turned pale.
The person who caught up to them was none other than Ning Fan who was emitting baleful qi and had a ruthless expression on his face!
"Do you want to teach me a lesson? I'll give you a chance. You can teach me a lesson right now! Make your move! "
A monstrous ancient devil aura turned into a monstrous devil cloud and pressed down on Pi Xiong, causing him to spurt out blood. His arrogant eyes were filled with fear …
