With Ning Fan's eyesight, he could see that the jade box that contained the All-Heaven Relic was imprinted with a faint demonic mark. The teams of demons that were chasing after Hou Lian mostly relied on this mark.
The so-called Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng would most likely follow the mark. After capturing Zi, he would bring Hou Lian back to his sect and help him become the sect master. Then, he would use his name to plunder the sects of Wei Country within a hundred thousand li radius. This was Ning Fan's plan.
The act of plundering would definitely offend the forces of Wei Country. It couldn't be better to use Hou Lian and his sect as a scapegoat.
The ship flew slowly. Ning Fan would use his teleportation ability to catch up to the ship and go to Great Jin together.
He landed on a grassy plain. This place was located at the west of Wei Country. It was called Hexi Plain.
He didn't erase the mark on the jade box. Instead, he waited for Zi Feng to fall into his trap! Therefore, this Hexi Plain became the battlefield for the battle.
Hou Lian who was at the side was shivering after being imprinted with the Mental Seal.
He wasn't a fool. Ning Fan held the jade box and waited casually. Who else could he be waiting for other than the so-called Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng?
"It's over … this Zhou Ming is going to fight with Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng. It's a battle between Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and I'm dragged into it. I hope I won't be affected by it."
He sighed inwardly. He was extremely afraid of Ning Fan. His fear was even greater than that of Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng whom he had never met before.
Taking advantage of this demon riot, a low-grade cultivation country like Wei Country had not only Nascent Soul Realm old demons, but also Rain Palace Nascent Soul Realm old monsters.
Hou Lian was fortunate enough to witness a battle between an expert of Rain Palace and a Nascent Soul Realm old demon. However, even at the critical moment of the battle, the two of them didn't display a terrifying magical ability like the Black Current Spirit Fission Technique.
Perhaps, Ning Fan was stronger than the purple-haired female demon …
But why did he provoke this malefic star and get imprinted with the Mental Seal?
"Ai, this is an unlucky year. I've boarded a pirate ship and bumped into a malefic star …" Hou Lian cursed inwardly, but he didn't dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.
While he was cursing in his heart, Ning Fan was closing his eyes and waiting, allowing his qi to merge with the wasteland.
One of the rewards of cultivating yao arts was the feeling of being one with the world.
He did not underestimate Zi Feng in the slightest. She was an early stage Nascent Soul female demon. Perhaps she was a bit stronger than the flower girl, or perhaps she was a bit weaker. However, she definitely had blood-colored runes on her body and had a life-saving technique — a Deification strike.
However, Ning Fan still had the confidence to win because Zi Feng was a female demon! He wasn't afraid of women …
The time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed.
A wild demonic wind swept over from the horizon, causing the cultivators of the Wei Country near the Hexi Plains to scatter in all directions.
Hundreds of Harmonious Spirit demonic beasts immediately flew out from the gust of demonic wind. There were also demonic soldiers that used secret techniques that were half human and half demonic. There were also Gold Core ferocious beasts and demonic devils.
The scattered demons began to hunt down the scattered cultivators. A few cultivators died immediately. Within the demonic wind, a ray of purple light flickered and went straight towards Ning Fan.
The purple light was accompanied by a fragrant wind and overwhelming anger. Within the purple light, there was a female demon with a slim figure and long purple hair. Her eyes fell on Ning Fan and she was slightly surprised. Based on the mark that was planted in the body of the demon guards, she knew that two batches of demon guards had been killed. How could the one who held the jade box be a Harmonious Spirit junior …
"Harmonious Spirit … Could it be that the one who killed my vanguard demon guards is just a Harmonious Spirit junior?"
She had an excellent figure and her breasts were half exposed, giving her endless charm. However, her appearance was just like the flower girl. She had all kinds of scars and it was too horrible to look at. The female demon's nose twitched. She smelled the blood qi of the demon race on Ning Fan's body. Her heart shuddered. Only now did she believe that Ning Fan was the one who killed her demon guards.
A Harmonious Spirit cultivator could actually kill a Gold Core demon guard. Interesting … but that's all there was to it. What's a Harmonious Spirit cultivator compared to a Nascent Soul cultivator?!
She stood in mid-air with a sneer on her ugly face.
"Human junior, were you the one who killed my demon guards?"
"What do you think?" Ning Fan said indifferently.
"Humph! It seems like it's you! Then, you can die now! Demonic art, Nine Layers Purple! "
This woman didn't seem to have the intention to talk nonsense with Ning Fan. She formed a hand seal. Immediately, a fragrant wind with purple poisonous mist rolled up on the West River Plain. There were a total of nine of them. As soon as the poisonous mist spread, it immediately turned into nine thousand zhang tall purple tornadoes, violently rolling towards them from the west. Wherever the tornadoes passed, the verdant grass within ten li of West River Plain began to wither. A moment later, they turned into ashes and scattered.
The female's hand seal was elegant, skillful and fast. Compared to this, the speed of Ning Fan's finger seals that he had been cultivating for four months was insignificant.
"This is the expert of the demon race …" Ning Fan's eyes darkened. The more he understood demonic arts, the more he could see that the demonic art displayed by this woman was extraordinary.
Using her thoughts to form the wind, using the wind to dye it purple, using the purple to form the fragrance, using the fragrance to turn into mist, using the mist to form a dragon tornado …
The nine purple tornadoes carried traces of wind poison. If a Harmonious Spirit cultivator accidentally entered it, he would instantly turn into pus and blood. Even a Gold Core old monster wouldn't be able to protect himself if he accidentally entered the wind, let alone a mere grass.
Under this wind, Hou Lian's body trembled in fear. He clearly remembered how many Gold Core and Harmonious Spirit experts of Wei were poisoned by the purple wind of the purple-haired demoness and turned into pus and blood.
Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng, this was how the name 'Zhifeng' came about.
Unless one's cultivation had reached the late Gold Core realm, no one would be able to completely resist this poison … This demonic art was indeed extraordinary.
However, it was merely extraordinary!
"Sword sense, extinguish!"
Ning Fan said coldly. His eyes were filled with sword qi. At this moment, his mind and the earth had fused together. Even his sword sense carried a trace of boundless charm. It gave the demoness an illusion that she wasn't facing Ning Fan, but the entire spirit vein of the West River Plain.
Ask the boundless earth, who will rise and fall!
The black sword sense spread across the sky. A sword sense that was as strong as the purple wind swept across!
Under this sword sense, the land of a thousand li was shrouded by the black sword qi.
The groups of demonic beasts and demon soldiers that the purple-haired demoness brought screamed incessantly under the sword sense. Their bodies were crushed into a bloody pulp.
As for the purple tornadoes that came from all directions, they were destroyed by the black sword qi that went into the eye of the tornadoes.
Only a few intermediate Gold Core demonic beasts and demon soldiers were able to survive in the midst of wailing. However, they were heavily injured.
One move of the Nine Purple Destruction Technique killed hundreds of demonic beasts. Even though the purple-haired demoness was experienced and knowledgeable, she couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
"Sword sense! I didn't expect you to have such an item that can restrain demonic arts! "
The purple-haired demoness was shocked that Ning Fan, a Harmonious Spirit cultivator, could break her magical art with his sword sense. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak a word.
The power of this sword sense wasn't enough to hurt her, but it was enough for her to pay attention to it.
This kid can't be underestimated. He's just a Harmonious Spirit cultivator who could grasp the sword sense. He can't be a nobody.
However, she was determined to get the All-Heaven Relic, so she wouldn't be scared off by the sword sense. The first round ended in a draw. To her, it was a humiliation. A Nascent Soul cultivator and a Harmonious Spirit cultivator had a draw! Ridiculous!
"You will die in the next strike!"
Her killing intent was aroused, but her voice was unusually pleasant to the ears. It didn't match her ugly appearance at all. Moreover, there was a trace of demonic power in her voice. It had the power of seduction, but it didn't work on Ning Fan.
The demoness didn't notice that during the battle between the demonic art and the sword sense, the distance between Ning Fan and her had shortened to five hundred zhang.
Ning Fan didn't use his strongest technique right from the start. That might force the demoness to use her trump card.
Ning Fan wanted to break the demoness's vigilance while approaching her. He wanted to capture her with his Yin Plucking Finger!
The first round didn't end in a draw.
In the second round, the demoness decided not to hold back. She patted her storage pouch and took out a half supreme grade purple flying sword. It emitted waves of ancient qi. She blew a breath of Nascent Soul Qi and the flying sword immediately grew to one zhang long. The purple light shone brightly and the sword qi was overbearing. The tip of the sword pointed straight at Ning Fan like an unstoppable lightning strike! Moreover, the sword light was extremely strange. It was flickering like the instantaneous movement of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Every time the sword light flickered, it could move a hundred zhang away. In just a few flashes, the sword light had already arrived in front of Ning Fan!
This sword light was too fast! Even Ning Fan's expression changed slightly.
"Such a fast sword! This is the Spirit Augmentation Divine Art, Teleportation Divine Art! "
The flickering sword light was the Spirit Augmentation Divine Art.
The flying sword's teleportation was the hardest to block. It was easy to grab the flying sword with one's body and difficult to block with a flying sword.
There was a hint of pride in the demoness' eyes. Although this sword wasn't supreme grade, the grade of the Spirit Augmentation Divine Art was so high that even a supreme grade magical treasure might not be able to match it.
The only way to break this divine art was to reach the Nascent Soul realm and understand the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Only by breaking the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of the flying sword and stopping its teleportation would one be able to block this sword. A Gold Core cultivator couldn't understand the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. In order to block this sword, he could only use his defense to block it!
Ning Fan wasn't a true Nascent Soul realm so he couldn't control the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to stop the flying sword's teleportation.
However, he had a strong enough defensive technique to block this flying sword!
His body turned into a rainbow and flew back a thousand zhang. His eyes flashed with a trace of spirituality.
As his spirit sense moved, a black spirit sense turned into a ray of light and wrapped around Ning Fan. It was like a black egg or a giant cocoon, wrapping Ning Fan's body inside.
The fierce flying sword stabbed the black ray of light. It was just a spirit sense barrier, invisible and formless. However, it felt like it had hit an iron wall. It could only penetrate half an inch and couldn't break the black light.
The second art of Divine Art – Sense Defense Art! It was cast by an Early Nascent Soul Realm spirit sense. It was enough to withstand a full blow from an Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
The purple-haired demoness was slightly startled and puzzled.
Spirit sense barrier? Could it be that Ning Fan was casting a demonic art? But if it was a demonic art, why didn't he form a hand seal? No, that's not right! This technique was different from the demonic art of borrowing spirit power. It wasn't borrowing spirit power, but it was using spirit sense to defend!
This technique was definitely the first time the purple-haired demoness had seen such a technique in her life!
However, what happened next shocked her.
After Ning Fan blocked the flying sword, the lightning star on his glabella flashed. Lightning appeared on his right finger and he gently pointed at the flying sword. Immediately, the flying sword trembled as if it had received a heavy blow. The dignified Half-Step Supreme-Grade Magical Treasure was covered with cracks and its spirituality was greatly reduced. It no longer had the ability to kill the enemy with instantaneous movement!
The demoness couldn't imagine how strong Ning Fan's physical body was to be able to crack the half-step supreme grade magical treasure and destroy its spirituality without using any body refining technique!
At this moment, she realized that she had underestimated the insignificant 'Harmonious Spirit junior' in front of her.
She also realized that the distance between her and Ning Fan had shortened to two hundred zhang.
Thinking of Ning Fan's horrifying body refining technique, the demoness felt her scalp tingle. She immediately flashed and tried to distance herself from Ning Fan.
However, it was too late.
Ning Fan didn't use his full strength in the two attacks. It was to make the demoness careless so that he could get closer to her.
She couldn't escape from a distance of two hundred zhang!
In an instant, Ning Fan's eyes flashed with killing intent. The Thunder Star on his glabella flashed and lightning danced in the clear sky!
Imperial Lightning Star!
As he pointed his finger, the lightning in the sky seemed to be attracted and turned into layers of lightning sea, engulfing the demoness.
The timing of this lightning attack was too vicious. It was beyond the demoness' expectation. What shocked her was that a mere Harmonious Spirit cultivator could actually control the heavenly lightning! Streaks of lightning formed a prison, blocking the demoness' escape route. Then, lightning shot out from all directions, locking her in place so that she couldn't teleport.
Taking advantage of the time when the demoness was trapped, Ning Fan's body shone with black light. He actually used teleportation!
With one teleportation, he was already very close to the demoness across the sea of lightning.
At such a close distance, the demoness suddenly felt an irresistible aura from Ning Fan.
What kind of aura was that? It made her feel powerless to break free. The only thing she could do was to sink into oblivion!
She couldn't escape from the lightning for a moment.
An unknown danger was hiding in Ning Fan's body and was approaching her step by step!
Should I use the rune on my glabella to use the Demon General's attack?
The demoness hesitated, but she was afraid that she had underestimated Ning Fan's strength and wasted this precious chance to save her life. Perhaps, that sense of danger was just an illusion. No matter how heaven defying a mere Harmonious Spirit cultivator was, how could he give her an irresistible feeling? He wasn't a Spirit Severing cultivator after all.
The demoness formed a seal with her ten fingers and cast a demonic technique to weaken the lightning blockade. At the same time, her face turned angry and she shouted.
"You demon guards, how long are you going to watch the battle! Quickly stop this person for me! "
The demoness felt sullen when she thought that she needed the help of mere demon guards to deal with a Harmonious Spirit cultivator. However, it was her fault for being careless and allowing the opponent to summon the lightning blockade. It would take some time to break the lightning blockade. During this time, Ning Fan must not use teleportation to launch a sneak attack.
Hundreds of demons were killed by Ning Fan's sword sense. Only a dozen mid and late Gold Core demons were left. These demons were extremely afraid of Ning Fan. They didn't dare to get involved in the battle, but they also didn't dare to leave without permission.
However, since they were ordered by the demoness, they could only bite the bullet and turn into a ray of light to block the demoness' path to delay Ning Fan for a moment.
A moment was enough. Once the demoness broke free from the lightning, she would naturally block Ning Fan and the other demons wouldn't need to intervene.
However, these demons thought too highly of him.
Facing the group of demons, Ning Fan's eyes suddenly shrouded with a layer of coldness. It was different from sword sense!
The bones in his body made a cracking sound. His punch was actually a Nascent Realm Body Refining Technique, Ice Shattering!
The punch broke the ice! Thousands of zhang of heaven and earth seemed to be frozen. However, under the force of the punch, the ice crumbled and disintegrated.
Along with the crisp cracking sound, the mid and late Gold Core demons were like ice cubes. Their bodies were so fragile that they couldn't even withstand a gust of wind. One after another, they were crushed into pieces of ice shards and died! No matter how strong a demon's body was, they couldn't resist the punch at all.
Now that they were close to the sea of lightning, Ning Fan no longer held back!
He wanted to catch the demoness!
The demoness would never have thought that Ning Fan had a strong body that could kill a group of demons with a single punch. Since he had such a body, why didn't he use it in the first encounter? If he did, she would definitely be defeated and could only escape!
Could it be that he purposely showed weakness in order to make me careless and capture me alive?!
Her pretty face changed color for the first time. The strength of Ning Fan in front of her was far beyond her expectation!
She didn't have the confidence to win. No, even if she risked her life, she only had a 30% chance of winning. Under the lightning, she was slightly injured.
Careless! She had underestimated Ning Fan's strength! It seemed like it would be difficult to snatch the relic today unless she used her trump card. However, she could only use that trump card once. She wasn't willing to use it.
The lightning had yet to be completely destroyed, but the demoness knew that she couldn't wait any longer.
She had to choose between using her trump card or temporarily retreat!
"Forget it. I'll retreat today. I'll kill this person and snatch the relic in the future!"
The demoness's eyes turned ruthless. She gritted her teeth and patted her storage pouch to take out a few ancient demon talismans and patted them on her chest. Immediately, demonic qi surged and she forcefully broke through the lightning.
Unfortunately, even with the talismans on her body, the talismans immediately turned into ashes and dissipated under the lightning. When the demoness managed to break through the lightning, she had already suffered some injuries from the lightning.
This was the price of forcefully resisting the lightning with her body. Lightning was the Heavenly Tribulation. How could a cultivator withstand it? No matter if it was a human or a demon, they could only be careful when facing the Heavenly Tribulation. As for the legends of immortals in the mortal world, most of them were just nonsense. Only a small number of fiendgods could withstand the lightning with their bodies.
As soon as she got out of the lightning, she immediately teleported away.
But behind her, Ning Fan flashed with a black light and teleported away.
His Ice Shattering Fist hit the spot where the demoness was teleporting. The thousand zhang tall ice was shattered in a single breath!
"Break!"
Ning Fan's cold voice was heard. Under the power of his fist, the clear sky was shattered. The demoness vomited blood and fell to the ground.
There seemed to be an extremely cold force in the fist. Once it entered the demoness' body, it would be hard to erase it.
"This is … this is the Bewitching Technique?! How did he plant this technique?! "
The demoness's demonic force began to slow down. It was not enough for her to teleport away. It was even difficult for her to fly. She could only grit her teeth and fall from the sky.
Forcefully using her demonic force to expel the cold force was actually futile!
"This is the Yin Plucking Finger. From today onwards, you are no longer one of the twelve demon companions, but my cauldron!"
Ning Fan's cold voice resounded behind her. He continuously poked the demoness' back for tens of times.
Layers of Yin Plucking Finger force entered her back, causing her body to become softer and softer. Her ugly face began to flush.
"What kind of Bewitching Technique is this … and how did you know that I am the demon companion of the Demon General?!" The demoness gritted her teeth and said angrily. She knew that she had fallen into Ning Fan's hands today. She couldn't even activate the rune on her glabella, let alone resist.
She was careless … she shouldn't have let Ning Fan get close to her again and again. It would have been better if she had directly used the Demon General's attack …
Ning Fan didn't relax even after completely sealing the demoness's demonic force.
He remembered that the Camellia Demoness could still summon the Demon General's shadow from the rune on her own when her demonic force was sealed.
This time, he wasn't going to give the shadow a chance to condense.
He poked the glabella with his finger. The shadow of Separation Slayer flew out. The moment the blood light rose from the demoness's glabella, the tip of the sword immediately pierced the rune on her forehead. Suddenly, a man's groan was heard from the rune. But before the sound could condense, it dissipated. This meant that the demoness had completely lost her ability to resist.
"You, you dare to hurt Lord Li Ban! You, you deserve to die! "Murderous intent flashed in the demoness's eyes.
"If you yell at me again, you will regret it. From today onwards, you will be my second Nascent Soul cauldron … the first one was the Camellia Demon … and you, are Feng Xinzi … "
"What? Camellia Demon? Could it be … "The purple-haired demoness was secretly shocked. Could it be that the Camellia Demon that Ning Fan mentioned was the person that she knew?
However, Ning Fan didn't answer the question of the purple-haired demoness. He used his Bewitching Art to knock the demoness out and kept her in his Cauldron Ring.
Three moves to capture the demoness … If it was a man, he would have to fight bitterly and he wouldn't have the confidence to win. Unfortunately, since it was a demoness, there was nothing to worry about.
On Hexi Plain, Hou Lian's heart was like a sudden clap of thunder, his body trembling.
Each and every Gold Core demonic demon with terrifying cultivation base died just like that.
And the infamous Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng was captured just like that.
Terrifying! This devil named 'Zhou Ming' was too terrifying … What was the actual strength of this Zhou Ming?! Even a Mid Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to capture an Early Nascent Soul cultivator alive …
The more Hou Lian thought about it, the more he compared Ning Fan to a Late Nascent Soul cultivator or even a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator.
He was getting more and more afraid of Ning Fan and dared not to offend him …
"This Zhou Ming is a star of calamity … definitely a star of calamity …" This was Hou Lian's final conclusion.
The second Nascent Soul cauldron … but this was still his victory through trickery. True Nascent Soul experts wouldn't all be women … If he had a Nascent Soul cultivation base, he would definitely be able to crush this woman …
"My strength is still not enough … I need to form my core as soon as possible!"
Ning Fan collected all the storage pouches on the ground and turned his head to look at the horizon, as if he had sensed something. There were a few tyrannical Qi flying towards them. Perhaps they had sensed the unusual phenomenon of the battle here … The four human experts should be the reinforcements of Wei Country from the Rain Palace.
It would be troublesome if they were discovered … It was better not to meet them.
"Show me the way to your sect …"
Without giving Hou Lian a chance to ask, Ning Fan grabbed Hou Lian like a little chick and teleported, disappearing from Hexi Plain.
Zi Feng had been captured successfully. Next, he would plunder Wei Country before leaving …
The second Nascent Soul cauldron and the second Spirit Severing talisman were in his hands!
This trip to Wei Country was not in vain!
...
After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, four Nascent Soul experts with different appearances landed on Hexi Plain. Their eyes were filled with shock when they saw the drastic change.
"It's a battle between Nascent Soul experts. It can't be wrong …" An old man who looked like a scholar said with a solemn expression.
"En. It seems like it has just happened. Judging from the lingering Qi, it should be a battle between a human and a demon. Judging from the strength of the Qi, it should be a human expert who won," said a middle-aged man in Daoist robe.
"Human? That's strange … apart from us, the four divine messengers of the Rain Palace, is there anyone else who came to assist Wei Country?" A beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties said with a strange expression.
"Big Brother Yun Lie, what do you think?" The beautiful woman looked at an ugly burly man who was dressed in hemp clothes and spoke with extreme respect.
"I don't have any opinion …" The burly man's ugly face showed some impatience.
He didn't seem to care about the battle here at all. It was just a battle between Early Nascent Soul experts. It was just child's play.
Although the scene seemed huge, in fact, the two of them didn't have a life and death battle … Would it end just like that?
The other three people seemed to understand the ugly man's personality very well, but they didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
The old scholar, the middle-aged Daoist and the beautiful woman were all Early Nascent Soul experts, but the ugly man was … a Peak Nascent Soul expert! Therefore, no matter how arrogant the ugly man was, how rude his words were, or how ugly his appearance was, the three of them didn't dare to provoke him.
"Let's go and pursue the other demons and devils … Since there are friends who are slaying demons and aren't willing to show themselves, it's most likely that they don't want others to know their identities. We don't need to find out anymore." As soon as the old scholar said that, the others nodded in agreement. Only the ugly man didn't seem to care. However, when the others left, he took a few deep glances at the remnant of this place. There was a trace of puzzlement and strangeness in his eyes.
The Qi of a human Nascent Soul expert was somewhat familiar … En, it was a very familiar aura. Where had he seen it before?
The ugly man would never have thought that the person who won the battle with the female demon was a childish youth he met when he passed by Sinister Sparrow Sect in Yue Country during his mission.
Therefore, his indifferent face revealed a conflicted expression.
It was a familiar feeling, but he couldn't recall it. It was too unbearable.
"Who is it? Old Monster Qin, Old Daoist Ma, or … No, it's all wrong … Who is it? I'm sure I've seen him before! "
Unfortunately, the ugly man didn't associate the identity of a Nascent Soul expert with that youth at all.
With a flash of a rainbow, he vanished without a trace.
