As soon as Ning Fan heard that there were more than one hundred soul warriors in front of him and all of them were soul cultivators, he immediately stopped underestimating them.
In the cultivation world, cultivating one's primordial spirit was regarded as the orthodox way. Body refinement was considered as an unorthodox method while soul cultivation was completely different. The reason why the demon race was regarded as a different race was because they cultivated their soul. However, these people in front of him specialized in cultivating their medicine soul. In this aspect, they were even more different than the demon race.
However, he could not underestimate them just because of this, even if their cultivation bases were just at the level of Du Zhen and She Kong!
Ning Fan could sense the immense soul power contained within the bodies of these soul warriors. Almost every one of them had attained the Ninth Revolution Gold Core Realm medicine soul! Of course, it did not mean that all of them were Gold Core Realm Pill Refinement Masters.
Even though their medicine souls were strong, they were forcefully enhanced through special methods. Thus, they had a huge flaw. They could only be used in battles to display the soul skills of their battle souls. They could not be used to concoct pills or identify spiritual herbs.
"Hand over Chu Lie and Duo Lan! Otherwise, die! "
The hundreds of soul warriors shouted at the same time. All of a sudden, the soul power of heaven and earth surged. Their aura force did not move the wind or the clouds. It was not earth-shattering but it directly struck everyone's soul. Its power was comparable to the roar of an Immortal Venerable!
How could Duo Lan and the surviving cultivators withstand such an aura force? All of them coughed out blood under the pressure. The difference in their strength was just too huge! Ning Fan was the only one who remained calm. He did not care about the threats from the soul warriors. He raised his hand slightly and calmly suppressed the ancient aura force. Then, he said to the people behind him.
"All of you hide here. I will handle everything here alone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew a line on the ground. A golden line instantly appeared on the ground. That golden line was like a swimming snake. It moved along with Ning Fan's finger and circled around the area, forming a giant circle. All the surviving cultivators behind Ning Fan were trapped inside the circle. It might seem slow but in reality, it only took the blink of an eye. The golden circle had taken shape. All of a sudden, it caused the great momentum of heaven and earth to change. It resonated with the heavens and drew the earth as its momentum, turning it into an earth elemental defensive grand formation!
If one were to take a closer look, they would realize that the earth elemental grand formation was extremely similar to the formations in many ancient Sacred Domain cultivators' abodes. It was obvious that Ning Fan had imitated it after observing it for many times.
Under the control of the soul warriors, the Flame Souls of Broken Thoughts wanted to charge into the golden circle and capture Duo Lan. However, they were blocked by the vast power of the array. Even with the cultivation of the Flame Souls of Broken Thoughts, they could not step into the golden circle!
That greatly surprised Duo Lan. She did not expect that Ning Fan would risk a conflict with the Tri-Flame Guards to protect her.
"Oh? This person actually did not rely on any external objects to set up the formation. Instead, he pointed to the ground to form the formation. Furthermore, the formation that he set up is extremely powerful. From this, it seems that this person's comprehension towards the general trend has already reached a certain level. After all, in the entire Great Desolate Continent, not every single Immortal Sovereign from the ancient times is able to form a formation by pointing to the ground. "The white-haired robust man said solemnly.
Ning Fan's action of instructing Lu Li to form the formation had also caused a lot of exclamations on the ground. However, Ning Fan turned a blind eye to those exclamations. He only ordered everyone to keep a close watch on the formation and maintain its operation. After all, this formation was not specially set up by Ning Fan. Instead, it was set up casually by Ning Fan. First of all, it lacked the support of the Dao Crystals. Now, it needed the magic power of the group of cultivators to sustain it. Besides, although the process of setting up the formation seemed heaven-defying, there were actually a lot of flaws. The difficulty of setting up the formation was also extremely high and the power of the formation would be greatly reduced. If it wasn't for the fact that Ning Fan had grasped the secret of the word 'Force', he would certainly not be able to do it with his current cultivation base. If he wasn't pressed for time, he wouldn't have used such an unconventional method.
When those soul warriors saw that Ning Fan not only refused to hand her over but also set up a grand formation to protect Duo Lan, each of their faces turned gloomy and their killing intent surged.
"If you don't hand him over, then I'll kill you as well! Soul Art, Movement Like Seal! "
Hundreds of Battle Soul Masters cast their techniques at the same time. Instantly, a shackling soul power was sealed on Ning Fan's body.
Ning Fan's expression changed slightly. He felt as if his feet were filled with lead as he was sealed by everyone's soul power. He could not even move an inch! This was also because his cultivation was limited, which was why he couldn't move. However, according to his estimations, even if his cultivation was still there, with his strength that was comparable to the Immortal Exalts, his speed would still be greatly affected by this powerful soul power.
"Soul Art, Sealed Thoughts!"
The spirit sense of Ning Fan's Rain Technique, which had always been successful, was actually sealed, making it hard for him to spread it out of his Sea of Consciousness!
"Soul Art, Extinguish Fire!"
The Twelve Darkness Devil Flame in his body actually showed signs of extinguishing!
"Soul Art, Extreme Darkness!"
The scenery in front of him became darker and darker. Gradually, he lost his sight!
Everything happened in an instant. As the hundreds of Battle Soul Masters cast their techniques at the same time, Ning Fan's body was inflicted with nearly a hundred negative effects!
Before he could even exchange blows with these Battle Soul Masters, he had already lost his ability to move. His spirit sense and the circulation of his magic power were unprecedentedly stagnant. His resistance to the five elements was greatly weakened. Every few breaths, he would be attacked by an illusion technique …
It was definitely Ning Fan's first time experiencing such a strange battle ever since he started cultivating the Dao. As soon as they exchanged blows, he was completely suppressed and had no way to fight back!
Moreover, there were hundreds of soul skills of the Battle Soul Masters that carried great destructive power blasting towards Ning Fan!
Ning Fan could not see the enemies in all directions. His vision had already been sealed and he could not hear any sound. However, the constant chills that came from his back reminded him that after the enemies inflicted the negative effects on him, they started to attack him. If he stood still and did not move, he would only become a target and be killed by this group of enemies who did not have a strong cultivation base but had extremely strong soul power!
Ning Fan secretly activated the God Exterminating Shield in his body and turned the golden light around his body to the maximum. Even though he could not move, under the protection of the golden light, he was like a big tree in the wind. Even though he did not move, he was not harmed at all.
"What kind of golden light is this? Such a defense. Is it possible for a restricted Immortal Venerable to display?!" The white-haired muscular man who was underground frowned.
The soul skills of the Battle Soul Masters were at least as powerful as the Thought Breaking Strike. Under the joint attack of a hundred of them, even Immortal Venerables in the ancient times would not dare to take it head-on. However, Ning Fan remained invincible with just the golden light around his body despite being inflicted with various negative effects. This caused the group of Battle Soul Masters to be astonished!
Ning Fan also realized that after activating the golden light, not only did he defend himself from the attacks of the enemies, but the negative effects that were inflicted on him also lost their effects bit by bit!
His line of sight gradually returned! His divine consciousness gradually returned to normal! His footsteps no longer felt heavy! All the reduced attributes were restored!
So that was how it was!
Ning Fan had found a way to defend against the Soul Fusion Technique.
The prerequisite for the Soul Fusion Technique to harm others was that one had to attach their own Soul Power to the other person. If the other person's Soul Power was strong enough, it would be enough to directly erase some of the harmful effects on the body. If the other party had a special defensive method, it would be enough to isolate the negative soul power on their body.
Ning Fan's medicine soul was not strong enough. Fortunately, he had the God Exterminating Shield which was a Heaven Opening Divine Tool. It was not difficult for him to defend against the Soul Fusion Technique of a group of Thought Fragmentation Realm experts. However, this meant that he had to constantly activate his Golden Light Protection when facing these Battle Soul Masters. He couldn't afford to be careless for even a moment.
Duo Lan and the others were protected by the grand formation that he had set up. As long as they worked hard to maintain the formation, their lives would not be in danger for the time being. As for the other cultivators who were in trouble on the grassland, Ning Fan was too lazy to save them. After activating the protective golden light around his body, he directly rushed towards the one hundred or so soul warriors. Since he had suffered some minor losses just now, he naturally wanted to get back at them!
There was a reason why these Battle Soul Masters were in formation and did not dare to split up! With Ning Fan's intelligence, he could easily see through the crux of the matter.
Even though these people had strong soul power, they were just a group of Du Zhen and She Kong She at the end of the day. Theoretically, each of them could display a powerful soul skill that was comparable to the Thought Fragmentation Strike. Their offensive power was impeccable and they were strong enough to deter Immortal Venerables from the ancient times. However, their defensive power was not high and their speed was not fast either. If they are alone, it would be extremely difficult for them to protect themselves. That was why they gathered in a group! If their enemies get close to them, they would also be in danger. Any random She Kong She technique would be enough to take away one of their lives. That was why these people would keep a distance from each other and cautiously avoid getting close to their enemies!
At this moment, when they saw Ning Fan rushing towards them from the front, all the Battle Soul Masters were shocked. Each of them used their soul skills to block him. However, how could they stop Ning Fan who was protected by the golden light?!
Ning Fan's ancient devil physical body was already extremely strong in the first place. Now that he had the protection of the golden light, he did not even bother to dodge the incoming divine abilities. Instead, he directly rushed towards them in a barbaric manner. He used his strength to break through the divine abilities that were flying towards him and broke through the formation of the Battle Soul Masters with ease. With a wave of his devil palm, a Battle Soul Master was directly slapped to death. With a point of his devil finger, another Battle Soul Master was killed. Then, he controlled the ocean of thirty million swords and the flying swords rained down like a pear blossom rainstorm, causing another large number of Battle Soul Masters to die.
Killing these Battle Soul Masters was as easy as killing Junior Du Zhen!
In just less than ten breaths of time, more than forty Battle Soul Masters had already died in Ning Fan's hands. The remaining Battle Soul Masters were horrified. They quickly retreated and kept shouting strange words that Ning Fan could not understand. As a result, the Fire Souls that were besieging the formation immediately gave up the idea of attacking the formation. Instead, they surrounded Ning Fan to kill him.
Why would Ning Fan be afraid of these Flame Souls of Broken Thoughts? When the thirty million flying swords swept across the area, many Early and Mid Stage Thought Fragmentation Realm Fire Souls lost their lives. Even those Half-Step Eternal Ancient Realm Fire Souls had to retreat slightly instinctively when they saw the scariness of the ocean of thirty million swords. They did not dare to rush into it head-on. Once they are caught in it, even if they did not die, they would at least suffer some injuries!
In terms of defense, Ning Fan's magic power was abundant. He was almost innately invincible. He even managed to block the Immortal King Realm fire bird that day. Why would he be afraid of these Battle Soul Masters and Fire Souls who were comparable to the Flame Souls of Broken Thoughts?
In terms of offense, Ning Fan's thirty million flying swords were almost an invincible method to these Flame Souls. Even if it is used in a battle between Immortal Venerables, it was enough to make many Immortal Venerables tremble in fear.
The white-haired muscular man who was underground could no longer sit still. It was fine if it was just the Fire Souls but these Battle Soul Masters were the elites among his subordinates. Judging from the current situation, as time goes by, most of them would be wiped out by Ning Fan. This was something he could not tolerate.
"I initially thought that this operation would be a surefire success. I didn't expect this person to be a hindrance. One Hundred Li Li Stone Dragon, devour this person!" The white-haired muscular man said viciously.
* Moo *
What responded to the white-haired muscular man was an ancient beast's roar which sounded like both an ox and an elephant.
Then, a massive creature rose continuously from the ground. A moment ago, it was still in the Absolute Darkness underground. In the next moment, it rushed to the surface of the ground and a massive head suddenly emerged from the ground!
It was a head as large as a small city. It looked very similar to a pangolin. However, it was different from an ordinary pangolin. Its scales were greenish-grey in color and there was a pair of strange sharp horns on its head. There was a huge nose ring on its nose and its eyes could not be opened. It seemed to be a degeneration caused by living underground for a long time.
"Not good! It's a Hundred Li Li Stone Dragon! "
Many cultivators who were lucky enough to survive exclaimed. However, before their exclamations could spread, they felt the sky turning dark and the earth turning dark. It turned out that even the ground had been devoured by the gigantic creature.
With just a single bite, the gigantic creature had devoured the grassland within a radius of several tens of li * (3.33m per zhang), leaving a deep pit that was tens of thousands of zhang * (3.33m per zhang) wide and tens of li * (3.33m per zhang) wide. Then, it timidly drilled back into the ground!
Be it Ning Fan, the group of battle soul cultivators, the countless fire souls, or even the cultivators who were hiding in the formation like Duo Lan, all of them were devoured!
Even the thirty million flying swords that filled the sky and the Four Emperors Arhat Pine at the center of the sea of swords were completely devoured!
Ning Fan's expression was a little shocked.
It was not that he did not sense the gigantic creature rising from the ground. However, before he could react, he was already swallowed into the creature's stomach. He had to admit that the speed at which the creature moved from the ground to the surface was unimaginably fast. It was completely incongruous with its gigantic body size. Therefore, Ning Fan did not have the time to defend against it!
"It's over. We're dead for sure! The body of a hundred li * (3.33m per li) stone dragon is extremely tough. Even an Immortal King would find it hard to break out of its stomach and escape after being swallowed. They can only be trapped inside until they die! "
"Only those with the status of devil son or above can possess a hundred li * (3.33m per li) stone dragon of the Stone Flame Lineage. There must be a devil son of the Stone Flame Lineage hidden inside this stone dragon's stomach!"
"This stone dragon came for Holy Maiden Chu Lie. Now that it has succeeded, it must be returning to the Stone Flame Lineage! With the speed of this stone dragon, it will certainly return to the Stone Flame Lineage in less than three days. Are we going to be captured and brought back to the Stone Flame Lineage?! "
"If it's just capturing it alive, it might not necessarily be a bad thing. At least, we still have the possibility of defecting to the Stone Flame Lineage and keeping our lives. I'm just afraid that the devil son will look down on us and directly kill us on our way back …"
Some of the cultivators of the Southern Border saw that the situation was hopeless and they even had the thought of defecting to the Stone Flame Lineage!
Three Flame Guards were not allowed to enter and leave the Ominous Domain freely. It was a rule set by the Saint before his death. However, there were two types of Three Flame Guards that could enter and leave the Ominous Domain freely! The first type was the minority of cultivators who had passed the [Flame Ancestor's Trial] and had the possibility to enter and leave the Ominous Domain freely. The other type was not the bloodline of the Three Flame Guards but the cultivators of the Great Bei Grassland. However, they had betrayed the Great Bei Grassland and joined the Tri-Flames. These people were naturally not restricted by the rules of the Ominous Domain and could enter and leave the Ominous Domain freely.
There was no lack of conflicts and killings between the Three Flame Guards and the Great Bei Grassland. Cultivators of the Great Bei Grassland would often be captured alive by the Three Flame Lineage. Among those who were captured alive, some of the more talented cultivators would be recruited by the Three Flame Lineage. As long as they betrayed the Three Flame Lineage, they would be able to keep their lives.
However, one needed to be qualified to betray the Three Flame Lineage. At least among the cultivators here, there were only a few who had the qualifications to be recruited by the Three Flame Lineage.
"I can't believe that I would be captured by the Stone Flame for the second time in my life!" Xianyu Chun closed his eyes unwillingly. He would rather die than betray the Tri-Flames because there was a blood feud between him and the Tri-Flames. His mother had died in the hands of the Tri-Flames!
"I can't escape anymore!" Duo Lan's face turned pale. She knew that if the other party came for that secret, she would still be killed even if she confesses everything. After all, this matter was of great importance. The fewer people who know about it, the better.
"Where did those Fire Soul Realm and Battle Soul Realm cultivators go? The Four Emperors Arhat Pines are also gone …" Ning Fan did not care about the various expressions of the crowd. Instead, he frowned and observed his surroundings.
They were inside the stomach of the one hundred li * (500m per li) stone dragon. With its gigantic body, its interior was naturally extremely spacious.
Ning Fan and the others were swallowed together with the Battle Soul Realm cultivators. However, other than them, no one else could see where the Battle Soul Realm cultivators were. It seemed like there was a difference in how the one hundred li * (500m per li) stone dragon swallowed people. Perhaps when it swallowed those people, it directly teleported them to another place.
This also explained why the Four Emperors Arhat Pines had disappeared!
Perhaps his thirty million flying swords and the Four Emperors Arhat Pines had been forcefully taken away by someone the moment they were swallowed into the stomach of the stone dragon.
The one hundred li * (500m per li) stone dragon had a great restraining effect on spirit sense. In its stomach, Ning Fan actually could not spread out his spirit sense freely. Once he does so, his spirit sense would spontaneously combust without any fire and be burnt to ashes. In that case, Ning Fan could no longer search the world inside the stone dragon's stomach wantonly.
All of a sudden, the sound of footsteps resounded from afar.
Gradually, a group of people walked out from the darkness. The leader of the group was a white-haired muscular man. His aura force was rather strong. His cultivation base had just reached the Eternal Ancient Immortal Realm. It seemed like he had just broken through to the Eternal Ancient Immortal Venerate Realm not long ago.
Behind the white-haired muscular man were more than sixty Battle Soul Realm cultivators. They were the survivors of Ning Fan's massacre. Each of them was staring at Ning Fan with eyes filled with hatred and fear.
Further behind them were more than one hundred and thirty Thought Fragmented Fire Souls. Originally, there were 175 of them. Those that were not here were all killed by Ning Fan and turned into points for the combat test. These fire souls did not have high intelligence. However, when they looked at Ning Fan, their eyes were filled with instinctive fear.
Ning Fan's gaze swept past the white-haired muscular man. When his gaze fell on the item in his hand, his eyes immediately turned grim.
His Four Emperors Arhat Pine was currently being played with in the white-haired muscular man's hand without any damage. It seemed like it had been forcefully taken away by him!
"So it's him! The seventh devil son of the stone flame, Meng Zhen! "As soon as the white-haired muscular man appeared, many cultivators of the Southern Border recognized him. Their faces were filled with despair.
He was the devil son of the stone flame who had the cultivation base of an Immortal Venerate! With such a strong enemy surrounding them, they really did not have any hope of surviving while they were still trapped inside the stone dragon's stomach.
Many of the cultivators of the Southern Border revealed expressions of fighting to the death. However, there were also some who had other thoughts.
Nan Zhilong of the Wind Summoning Tribe gritted his teeth and suddenly walked out from behind Ning Fan. He knelt in front of the white-haired muscular man. There were no less than fifty people who behaved like him. Among them were the White Ghost Mage of the White Ghost Tribe and the Black Mountain Mage of the Black Mountain Tribe … Many old monsters who had suppressed the Tower Wood Tribe before were actually among them!
Well, it wasn't surprising. Those who always thought of stepping on others to rise to power were naturally not kind people. If such people were faced with death, it was reasonable for them to turn traitor.
"Oh, it's Lord Meng Zhen. It's because our skills are inferior that we have fallen into Lord Meng Zhen's hands. I beg Lord Meng Zhen to let us go and allow us to join the Stone Flame Clan and work for them! "
Ning Fan knitted his brows. He had always disliked those who begged for mercy on their knees.
The white-haired muscular man who was called Meng Zhen burst into laughter. After laughing, he suddenly struck with lightning speed. In the next moment, the physical bodies of the fifty plus people including Nan Zhilong exploded. All of them died tragically.
"Why don't you measure your own strength first before joining the stone flame?!" Meng Zhen's eyes glanced at the corpses on the ground and said disdainfully.
Among the cultivators of the Southern Border, some of them were aghast. Some of them grieved for the death of their own kind while some of them were secretly delighted. Those who were delighted obviously could not bear to see Nan Zhilong and the others joining the enemy.
Meng Zhen's eyes swept across Ning Fan and the others. His eyes only stopped on Xianyu Chun, Nethersea Venerable Duo Lan and Xianyu Chun. Finally, his eyes fell on Ning Fan. He smiled coldly and waved the Four Emperors Arhat Pine in his hand.
"It's a good magic treasure. Unfortunately, the cultivation base of the person using it has been sealed. Otherwise, even if I brought a hundred li * (500m per li) stone dragon with me, I wouldn't be able to take this treasure away so easily …"
His eyes carried 30% fear but 70% arrogance that came from his bones. Arrogance was because he was the dignified Devil Son of the Stone Flame Clan while the other party was just an external cultivator. On the other hand, fear was because of the strange golden light that protected his body.
In the river where Meng Zhen grew up, there were not many people who could make him feel fear!
In Meng Zhen's understanding, Ning Fan was an Immortal Venerable whose cultivation base had been sealed. Due to the rules of the world, Ning Fan would never take the initiative to destroy the ring. However, if he were to push this person too far, it would be hard to say what he would do.
If it was an ordinary Immortal Venerable, Meng Zhen would definitely not be afraid. If he dares to resist, he would just kill him. However, Ning Fan's golden light really made him unable to remain calm. Even with the restriction of his cultivation base, this person could still face hundreds of battle soul masters and hundreds of Flame Souls of Broken Thoughts unscathed. If this person destroys the ring and recovers to his peak state, perhaps even the hundred li * (500m per li) stone dragon would not be able to suppress him!
According to the mission, he must search Chu Lie Duo Lan's memories and find that secret. After that, he would kill Duo Lan to silence him. However, it was obvious that Ning Fan wanted to protect Chu Lie Duo Lan. If that was the case, things would become difficult. In order to complete the mission, he must first find a way to take down Ning Fan …
"Do you want to live or die?!" Meng Zhen chanted an incantation in his heart. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he asked.
Naturally, there was only Ning Fan who could make him, an Immortal Venerable, address him respectfully!
"So what if I want to die? So what if I want to live?!" Ning Fan asked with an expressionless face, but in his heart, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise and glanced at the soil beneath his feet.
"If you want to live, then hand over Chu Lie Duolan and obediently submit to the three flames. Become my Stone Flame's slave. After I place a restriction on you, I can open the mouth of the stone dragon and let you live. I can even return this flying sword pine to you! If you want to die, hehe, this Meng can fulfill your wish right now! Even if you have that strange golden light protecting you, I'm quite confident in being able to kill you. Do you believe me or not?! "Meng Zhen was extremely conceited. He paused for a moment before he continued.
"Perhaps you think you can destroy the Xing Ring and escape with your original cultivation. But you must know that if you really destroy the Xing Ring, even if you have a one in ten thousand chance of escaping from me, you won't be able to escape the pursuit of the Great Humble Celestial Emperor. Those old things won't ask you why you destroyed the Punishment Ring, and they won't show any respect or understanding to an external cultivator like you. They will only chase you endlessly for this matter. With your strength, how can you survive the pursuit of the Immortal Emperors? "
"Besides, I'm not afraid to tell you that you don't even have a one in ten thousand chance of escaping! Do you know that I've refined this one hundred li * li * stone dragon's stomach with countless precious treasures? It can even trap an Immortal King! Do you know where this one hundred li * li * stone dragon is heading right now? It's not going to return to the stone flame directly. Instead, it's going to the Seal of Two Realms first to return the Broken Thought Fire Soul that I borrowed. Tell me, isn't the Seal of Two Realms scary? If you go there, no matter how strong you are, it'll be as easy as flipping my palm to kill you. As long as the stone dragon spits you into the Seal of Two Realms, you might be able to survive! "
Meng Zhen smiled coldly. He wanted to see the fear in Ning Fan's eyes. Unfortunately, Ning Fan's expression was calm. It was because he did not know anything about the so-called Seal of Two Realms. Naturally, he was not afraid.
On the other hand, the expressions of the cultivators of the Southern Border changed drastically after hearing about the Seal of Two Realms.
"It seems like you don't know what the Seal of Two Realms is. Fine. I don't mind explaining it to you …"
Meng Zhen wanted to say something but he suddenly noticed the mocking smile on Ning Fan's lips. His expression immediately turned gloomy. "I didn't expect you to actually find out! You've made me waste my effort! "
"Aren't you going to continue introducing the Seal of Two Realms?"
Ning Fan looked at Meng Zhen mockingly. Suddenly, his primordial spirit drilled out from the ground. At the same time, it brought along eighteen skeletal puppets that were burning with flames. All of them had been killed by Ning Fan's primordial spirit!
There were nine big ones and nine small ones. The big one was an adult female skeleton while the small ones were the skeletons of young boys and girls!
"The Mother-Child Puppet of One Heart!" A few cultivators of the Southern Border recognized the origin of the puppets. They exclaimed in surprise and looked at Meng Zhen with lingering fear. The Mother-Child Puppet of One Heart was an extremely sinister thing. If one was really sneak-attacked by it, even an immortal revered throughout the ages would lose a layer of skin!
Most of the people were still confused. They had no idea when Ning Fan's primordial spirit left his body and drilled into the ground. They also did not understand the hidden meaning in the conversation between Meng Zhen and Ning Fan. They also did not know why there were eighteen skeletal puppets underground.
Meng Zhen, however, did not intend to talk nonsense with Ning Fan anymore! He was not a person who liked to talk nonsense. The reason why he chatted with Ning Fan just now was to stall for time and divert Ning Fan's attention. Then, he would seize the opportunity to order the Mother-Child Puppet to sneak under Ning Fan and launch a sneak attack. This place was located inside the belly of the stone dragon. Outsiders could not spread out their spirit sense. This gave Meng Zhen a chance to launch a sneak attack.
Ning Fan's protective golden light was too strong. It made Meng Zhen fearful and decided to use some unorthodox methods.
Unexpectedly, Ning Fan had seen through everything. His plan failed and he even lost the eighteen puppets in vain!
"Humph! Since my plan failed, I will take your life with my own hands! "
Meng Zhen did not plan to let Ning Fan live from the beginning. Now that his plan was exposed, his killing intent was immediately triggered. He kept the Four Emperors Arhat Pine in his hand and dashed towards Ning Fan in a flash.
The group of soul warriors behind him cast their techniques at the same time, giving the white-haired brawny man a buff.
Meng Zhen was a body cultivator. Under the support of the many soul warriors, his strength increased by thirty percent. Ning Fan did not dare to be careless in front of this person. He pointed at Lu Chengzhen again to protect Duo Lan and the others. After that, he activated his protective golden light and rushed towards Meng Zhen.
The two of them directly collided with each other using pure physical strength!
Ning Fan was directly sent flying backwards. In terms of physical strength, there was a huge gap between him and the white-haired brawny man. Fortunately, he had the God Exterminating Shield to protect him. Thus, he was not injured. However, the ten zhang * (3.33m per zhang) golden light was dented by the white-haired brawny man!
Ning Fan's expression became even more solemn.
Meng Zhen's eyes became even more gloomy. One should know that not many of those senior First Tribulation Immortal Venerables could withstand his attack head-on. However, it was not enough to completely break Ning Fan's ten zhang * (3.33m per zhang) golden light. From the looks of it, the scariness of the golden light's defense was far beyond his expectation!
"Your thirty million flying swords are already in my hands. So what if you have a heaven-defying defense?! Nine Breaths of Qi Submission Technique, One Breath of Fire Submission Technique! "
Meng Zhen muttered incantations. All of a sudden, he flipped his hand and took out a fiery red crystal core. He rubbed his palm and it turned into powder. Then, he scattered it into the sky and it turned into a boundless sea of fire.
That crystal core looked exactly the same as the fire crystal Ning Fan obtained from killing the fire soul. The only difference was the fire power it contained.
Meng Zhen suddenly inhaled at the sea of fire. Instantly, he absorbed nearly one-third of the sea of fire. Then, he inhaled another third of the sea of fire. After that, he seemed to have reached his limit and could no longer absorb any more, causing the sea of fire to disperse.
Meng Zhen's physical body expanded by a size each time he absorbed the flames. His body became thicker and filled with explosive power.
Meng Zhen dashed out and clashed with Ning Fan again. Ning Fan could clearly feel that after Meng Zhen used the nine breaths of Qi Submission Technique, the strength of his physical body had greatly increased. He could already break through the golden light that was nearly one zhang * (3.33m per zhang)!
"Unfortunately, my comprehension is limited. I can only achieve two breaths of Qi Submission Technique. If I can achieve more than six breaths, I think it would be enough to break through this young man's golden light …"
After exchanging hundreds of blows with Ning Fan, Meng Zhen still could not do anything to him. His eyes became even more gloomy. He flipped his hand and took out the other two fire crystals. He then rubbed them into powder to use his ability.
Meng Zhen did not seem to make any changes to his hand seals. Suddenly, flames burst out from his hand. Then, a one meter long flaming blade appeared in the flames. There were dark golden runes flowing on the blade.
The flaming blade was an item of the Buddha Sect. However, the blade that Meng Zhen summoned did not have any Buddha nature at all. Instead, it gave people a feeling that it was filled with monstrous devil qi!
This blade was not a magic treasure. Instead, it was the manifestation of a divine ability. Extremely pure Dao of Fire coiled around it. Without seeing how the white-haired muscular man made his move, the flaming blade suddenly disappeared as if it was just controlled by his spirit sense. Its speed was so fast that it could not be seen at all. Then, a strong penetrating force came from Ning Fan's left shoulder. The flaming blade had already reached his left shoulder but it was blocked by the golden light that was protecting him.
Even though he managed to block the flaming blade, Ning Fan's golden light was still pierced through two zhang * (3.33m per zhang). It was so sharp!
"How can this person's defense be so strong?!" Meng Zhen's confidence was greatly damaged.
The flaming blade was his trump card. After using this technique, his already pale skin became even paler. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of his energy. This technique was the eleventh technique of the Twelve Stones of Flame Ancestor Fire Technique. With his cultivation base that had yet to stabilize, he could not use it too many times. Using it once was already his limit. In the past, when he used it, even a First Tribulation Immortal Venerable would be severely injured. However, he could not even break Ning Fan's golden light!
This was Ning Fan who had his cultivation base restricted. If he was at his peak, he would not be able to fight back at all in front of Ning Fan!
After hundreds of rounds of fighting, the more techniques Ning Fan used, the more frustrated Meng Zhen was. The Seventh Devil Son's arrogance was getting more and more damaged. He could not help but admit that Ning Fan's tortoise shell was too hard. His magic power was also endless. In this way, it was not possible for him to exhaust his magic power. On the contrary, Meng Zhen's magic power was greatly depleted. If the battle continues, he would probably suffer a great loss due to the depletion of his magic power …
"Are you determined to protect Chu Lie and Duolan and become enemies with me, Shi Yan?!" Meng Zhen said in a gloomy tone.
Ning Fan did not bother to respond to Meng Zhen at all. This made Meng Zhen ask for a snub and he no longer talked to Ning Fan.
All of a sudden, the ground inside the stone dragon's abdomen shook violently. It was as if the stone dragon that was moving rapidly had hit something and came to a sudden halt.
Meng Zhen suddenly sneered when he sensed the tremor. After exchanging another blow with Ning Fan, he suddenly disappeared in front of Ning Fan and the others along with the group of soul warriors and the Flame Soul of Broken Thought.
They had actually left the stone dragon's body and arrived at the outside world!
"The Seal of Two Realms has arrived. I can't break your golden light but I don't believe that the Saint power of the Seal of Two Realms can't kill you!"
Meng Zhen brought a group of his subordinates and appeared in the dark underground world.
There was actually a large area of soilless space underground. Even the gigantic stone dragon that was a hundred li * (3.33m per li) could move freely in this soilless space.
On the ground not far away from them, there was an abyss that was burning with flames. The abyss was bottomless and no one knew where it led to. Besides, there was a powerful force that could stop anyone from probing the vicinity of the abyss and kill anyone who enters it!
"Oh? Devil Son Meng Zhen has returned? I wonder if he can capture that Chu Lie Duolan? "
Four rays of dark green flames suddenly shot out from the abyss and landed outside the abyss. They turned into four people. There was an elderly man and a burly man. However, all of them were illusions and not real bodies.
Even though they did not descend with their real bodies, one could still tell from their qi that their true bodies were at least at the Immortal Emperor Realm!
They were actually the illusions of four Immortal Emperors who were guarding this place! Besides, judging from their appearance and qi, the true bodies of these four people clearly belonged to the Fire Spirit Clan. They were the experts of the Fire Spirit Clan!
"Fortunately, I didn't fail you. However, I haven't gotten the chance to pry out the secret that Chu Lie Duolan told me. Now, there's still a problem inside this hundred li * (3.33m per li) stone dragon that's preventing me from completing my task …" Speaking of Ning Fan, Meng Zhen also felt a headache.
"Problem? Little Friend Meng, you should know that we, the Fire Spirit Clan, can't cross the Seal of Two Realms and descend to the outside world without the summoning of the Fire Talisman. Even if you bring this problem here, don't expect us to help you kill the intruders! "As soon as they heard that Meng Zhen had not completed his task, the four illusions of the Immortal Emperors were instantly displeased. (To be continued.)
