The Fu Li Eye had extraordinary insight. Even without Bei Xiaoman's reminder, Ning Fan had already seen through the mysteries of Revered Being Yan's flying sword.
That fiery red flying sword was a peak Transcendent Level Spirit Treasure. It had two Divine Abilities: Instant Movement and Beheading Shadow.
This Reverend Yan was not a sword cultivator, but a fire cultivator. The flying sword he wielded was only used for sneak attacks.
The fiery red sword light flashed a few times and approached the shadow that Ning Fan left on the ground.
Once Ning Fan's shadow is injured, he would be able to kill Ning Fan's true body as well. One had to admit that the Shadow Slaying Divine Ability was similar to the Nascent Soul Snatching Technique.
Bei Xiaoman was really a little nervous. Two blood-red stars slowly emerged on her glabella. She raised her small hand and her fingertips were surrounded by blood-red light. She was ready to lend Ning Fan a hand at any time.
However, before Bei Xiaoman could make a move, the fiery-red flying sword trembled as if it was struck by a starlight.
That starlight was the Separation Slayer Flying Sword that Ning Fans flicked out with his finger. After Ning Fan comprehended the sword intent, the power of the flying sword was incomparable to the fiery-red flying sword.
Bang!
A cracking sound rang out as the fiery red flying sword was shattered by the Starlight Sword Shadow.
A ray of starlight circled around his body. Ning Fan's black eyes were as deep as the bottom of a lake as he indifferently glanced at Revered Yan.
"That's not how you control a flying sword … Quick!"
Ning Fan changed his hand seal. All of a sudden, the starlight sword shadows that were hovering around him were divided into ten and then a hundred. In an instant, there were already ten thousand sword shadows that pierced through the sky towards Revered Being Yan.
Ning Fan rarely used his flying sword technique to kill people. However, it did not mean that he was not proficient in it.
In particular, he had comprehended the Trapping Celestial Sword Essence with the help of a broken sword, which allowed him to unleash the full power of the flying sword.
"What a domineering sword intent!"
Even the two Void Refinement Realm experts of the Rain Palace who were in hiding could not help but sigh in admiration.
Ning Fan's sword intent contained the arrogance and overbearingness of Immortal Luan Jue. It was the sword of an overlord. Just by looking at it from afar, it made the two Void Refinement Realm experts feel suffocated.
The two of them could not help but guess what Ning Fan was thinking.
Zhou Ming of the Endless Sea has a Void Refinement Realm expert protecting him. Could it be that he is really a member of the Zhou Clan of the internal sea?
However, the Rain Palace had always kept a close eye on the Zhou Clan of the internal sea. There was certainly no such person in the Zhou Clan who was known as Ning Fan!
"What exactly is this young man's background …?" The two Void Refinement Realm experts began to guess Ning Fan's identity.
The domineering aura of Ning Fan's sword intent swept across the long street. The onlookers retreated once again, distancing themselves from the battlefield between Ning Fan and Yan Fan.
Facing the ten thousand sword shadows, even Reverend Yan felt his scalp go numb.
His strength was strong enough to incinerate ordinary Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivators to death. He had also seen many sword cultivators who had their heads cut off by flying swords.
Among all the Divine Transformation Realm sword cultivators that Revered Flame had seen, Ning Fan's flying sword technique could definitely be ranked within the top three. Besides, Revered Yan also knew that the flying sword technique was not Ning Fan's forte at all.
"This old one seems to have underestimated this person …"
Revered Yan knitted his brows for the first time. Now, he regarded Ning Fan as an equal opponent. He patted his storage pouch and took out a handful of red sand. He sprinkled it into the sky and the sand sparkled with blood-red starlight.
The red sand covered the sky, and with a sweep of the dust, countless sword shadows collapsed one after another.
As for the Separation Slayer, it was suppressed by the red sand. The body of the sword trembled violently, but it did not break.
"Immemorial Divine Weapon huh …"
Revered Yan's frown deepened. Initially, he was prepared to use this red sand to crush Ning Fan's flying sword to avenge himself. However, it turned out that it was just a wishful thinking.
In the first round of confrontation, Ning Fan was unscathed while Revered Yan had one of his flying swords broken. Revered Yan, on the other hand, was at a disadvantage.
"It's the Blood Cinnabar! This is Revered Yan's natal magic treasure. It's a handful of blood cinnabar refined from the Immemorial Star Iron. It specializes in breaking all kinds of magic treasures! "
"Immemorial Divine Weapon! The flying sword that Revered Ming is holding is also an Immemorial Divine Weapon! Rumor has it that not only can Immemorial Divine Weapons advance, but their bodies are also extremely hard and indestructible. If it's an ordinary flying sword, I'm afraid it would have been crushed by the Blood Cinnabar a long time ago … It's indeed a divine weapon! "
The surrounding cultivators discussed among themselves. When their words fell into Ning Fan's ears, his eyes turned serious.
"I see."
No wonder this red sand is so domineering and can actually crush the flying sword shadows. It turns out that it's Revered Yan's natal magic treasure.
If it's a magic treasure …
Ning Fan's body was already surrounded by the Separation Slayer Sword. Then, he pointed at his glabella and took out a blood-red lightning whip.
Looking at the red sand that filled the sky, Ning Fan did not say a word. He raised the lightning whip to the sky and whipped it one hundred times in one go.
Each of the whip shadows was like a blood-red lightning bolt. One hundred streaks of blood-red lightning struck the red sand with great force.
However, when Revered Yan saw this scene, it only turned into a cold sneer.
In his eyes, Ning Fan had already witnessed the power of the Blood Cinnabar. Yet, he still dared to use his magic treasure to attack him. Ning Fan was simply giving his magic treasure to him for him to crush.
"Break!"
Revered Yan raised his brows and changed his hand seals. The rolling red sand instantly drowned the one hundred streaks of blood-red lightning.
He could tell with just a glance that the blood lightning whip was just a spiritual treasure. There was no need to fear it at all.
The red sand swirled towards the lightning whip shadows. The streaks of blood-red lightning collapsed one after another. However, before Revered Yan could feel proud of himself, his expression suddenly changed.
When the one hundred streaks of whip shadows landed on the red sand, it was as if they were whipping the primordial spirit in Revered Yan's dantian.
After his primordial spirit was whipped a hundred times by Ning Fan, Revered Yan coughed out a mouthful of blood. He actually lost his balance and nearly fell from the sky. His injuries were definitely not light.
At the moment when Revered Yan was injured, Ning Fan flicked his sleeve and produced a gust of wind. The blood sand that filled the sky was swept away by him. He actually forcefully took away Revered Yan's natal magic treasure while he was distracted!
Normally, only a cultivator could use their natal magic treasure. Outsiders would not be able to use it as they wish.
However, Ning Fan was different.
After keeping the Blood Cinnabar into his sleeve, his fingertip was surrounded by a purplish-golden mist. Then, he wiped it across the blood sand.
Amidst a sizzling sound, the spirit sense imprint that Revered Yan planted in the blood sand was easily wiped away by Ning Fan.
* Puff *
Before Revered Yan could stabilize his body, the spirit sense imprint in his magic treasure was suddenly wiped away. He felt a sharp pain in his Sea of Consciousness. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and half-knelt in the sky. His face was filled with shock and anger.
"White Lightning Spirit Shattering Technique! There's no mistaking it. This isn't the ordinary lightning of the Zhou Clan! Who are you to Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou?! Why do you want to take away my natal magic treasure?! "
Revered Yan's heart was filled with hatred. The Endless Sea had already heard about Ning Fan's technique of killing a nascent soul by extracting treasures. After all, to the cultivators of the Endless Sea, it was not a rare technique to attack a nascent soul. Many of the lightning element cultivators in the Zhou Clan knew how to do it.
However, the lightning of the lightning cultivators of the Zhou Clan was not as domineering as Ning Fan. It was not an ordinary lightning at all. The destructive power of the blood lightning was like a heavenly tribulation, making it hard for people to defend against it.
In the history of the Zhou Clan of the internal sea, there was only one person who had ever mastered the blood lightning and that person was Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou!
There had long been rumors in the Endless Sea that Zhou Ming was a member of the Zhou Clan of the internal sea. However, after Zhou Qing, the chosen one of the Zhou Clan, clarified the rumors, it was confirmed to be a rumor.
Revered Yan was even more certain that there was no one named Ning Fan in the Zhou Clan of the internal sea.
However, Ning Fan actually used Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou's blood lightning technique. Could it be just a coincidence?
No. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?!
The two Void Refinement Realm experts of the Rain Palace who were in hiding had the same thought as Revered Yan.
They were already guessing Ning Fan's identity. After witnessing the blood lightning, they were even more certain that Ning Fan was a member of the Zhou Clan of the internal sea.
As for why Zhou Ming was not mentioned in the intelligence report of the Rain Palace … The two Void Refinement Realm experts pondered and guessed inwardly.
Perhaps this Zhou Ming was an important figure in the Zhou Clan. He was so important that they had to erase his existence to prevent the Rain Palace from finding out about it.
The two Void Refinement Realm experts increasingly felt that their guess was correct.
Moreover, it made more sense that Ning Fan had a Void Refinement Realm expert protecting him.
In their opinion, the hidden Void Refinement Realm expert must be a Void Refinement Realm elder of the Zhou Clan. However, they did not know which one it was.
"Humph! The Zhou Clan has an agreement with our Rain Palace. Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts are not allowed to leave the internal sea without permission. How dare they violate the agreement?! It seems like we have to report this matter to the Divine Sovereign! "
After a round of random guesses, the two of them actually went further and further away from the truth.
"We must find out which elder of the Zhou Clan is protecting this Zhou Ming!"
Ning Fan naturally did not know about the intention of hiding the Void Refinement Realm expert. It was just a matter of seconds for him to ambush Revered Yan with the Spirit Shattering Whip.
Seeing that Revered Yan was injured, Ning Fan seized the opportunity to snatch the Blood Cinnabar by force. Without giving Revered Yan any chance to catch his breath, he stretched out his Fu Li Demon Wings and flapped them forcefully. With a flash of purple light, his figure disappeared.
"What a fast speed … Not good! Yun Yan, be careful behind you! "
At this moment, the expressions of the two Void Refinement Realm experts changed greatly. They no longer concealed themselves and appeared in the sky, shouting at Revered Yan.
Fast! It's too fast!
Ning Fan's speed was not much different from a Void Refinement Realm expert when he used his Fu Li Wings. His speed of ninety thousand li * (500m per li) was not something that Revered Yan could react to at all. Only the two Void Refinement Realm experts could sense the direction where Ning Fan was going.
A chill suddenly came from his back. After hearing the two Void Refinement Realm experts' cries, how could Revered Yan still remain calm? He immediately turned around and scanned the area behind him with his spirit sense. It was like a spark in the sky. All of a sudden, the vast sky within ten thousand li * (500m per li) was engulfed by a sea of flames!
In the sea of flames, a white-robed figure just appeared. Before he could launch a sneak attack from Revered Yan's back, he was already engulfed by the sea of flames.
Fire sense! Spirit sense of flames!
Ning Fan had cultivated his Sea of Consciousness into the shape of a sword and condensed his sword sense. As for Revered Yan, he had cultivated his Sea of Consciousness into the shape of a fire and condensed his fire sense.
With the strength of his Half-Step Void Refinement Realm spirit sense, even an ordinary Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert would be severely injured when he uses his sword sense technique.
Even though he, Revered Yan, was arrogant, his strength was also astonishing. At the very least, he was a few times stronger than a Void Insight Realm expert who had yet to reach the Void Refinement Realm!
However, Revered Yan had to forcefully activate his fire sense again before he could suppress his injuries. Thus, he could not help but cough out a mouthful of blood again. However, he was certain that Ning Fan would definitely be severely injured by his fire sense.
"'Burning Heaven Fire Sense'! This is the technique that Revered Yan is famous for. He had once used this technique to burn a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert to death! "
"According to rumors, Revered Ming had also cultivated his sword sense by chance. However, his sword sense doesn't seem to be as domineering as Revered Yan's fire sense. You should know that once Revered Yan's fire sense is released, all beings below the Early Divine Transformation Realm within fifty thousand li * (500m per li) will be instantly killed and burned into ashes!"
Bei Xiaoman's face revealed a hint of worry. She was not even afraid of Yi Qing but she was afraid of Revered Yan. What she feared the most was this fire sense technique.
In terms of large-scale killing techniques, Revered Yan could even be ranked first among all the Divine Transformation Realm experts in the Rain World!
"No! I haven't taken revenge on him yet. He can't die just like this! I can't! "
Bei Xiaoman's mind was filled with anxiety. She wanted to soar into the sky.
She obviously hated Ning Fan so much but when she saw Ning Fan being engulfed by the fire sense, she became extremely anxious.
She did not like this feeling of fear and trepidation. She disliked it very much.
She must pull Ning Fan out of the sea of flames!
* Rumble *
Before Bei Xiaoman could rush into the sea of flames, she forcefully halted her footsteps at the next moment. Her eyes widened in surprise.
The sea of flames which was powerful enough to instantly kill an Early Divine Transformation Realm expert was forcefully split apart by an unknown force at the next moment.
Ning Fan, who was dressed in white robes and had a pair of bewitching purple wings, calmly passed through the sea of flames. The raging flames seemed to be afraid of him as they kept avoiding him, let alone burning him.
"How is this possible?!"
Revered Yan could not believe it. The fire sense that he unleashed with all his might could even severely injure a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert. However, it could not hurt Ning Fan at all!
At this moment, Ning Fan who was standing in the sea of flames actually gave Revered Yan a feeling of fear and trepidation. The one hundred types of Fourth Grade Spiritual Flames and the three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames in his dantian were trembling in fear.
It was irresistible!
At this moment, Ning Fan was like the emperor of fire. No fire could hurt him!
"Fire Plucking Technique!"
Ning Fan clenched his five fingers and a tiny vortex of Yin Yang Fishes was formed below his palm.
As soon as the vortex appeared, a strange and terrifying suction force spread out. The sea of flames which was ten thousand li * (500m per li) was sucked into the tiny vortex and disappeared without a trace.
No one knew that the so-called all-out attack of Revered Yan had become the nourishment for the Stele of Sun and Moon. It was going to be used to replenish the stele's soul!
The surrounding cultivators were completely silent. The scene was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. They were completely shocked by what they had just witnessed.
The two Void Refinement Realm experts were also stunned. They could not believe what they had just seen. It was unimaginable. It was too unimaginable!
The two of them knew that it was not difficult for them to crush Revered Yan's fire sense with their Void Refinement Realm cultivation base.
However, it was just crushing!
The ability that Ning Fan displayed was not as simple as crushing. It was as if it was a natural restraint!
No. Restraint was not enough to describe the feeling of being devoured … To be more precise, that feeling was like … plucking!
Yes, plucking! It was like a cultivator plucking a human cauldron. He greedily took everything from the human cauldron but the human cauldron could not resist him!
All of a sudden, the two of them thought quickly. Then, they seemed to have thought of something and their faces lit up with joy.
"Could it be that this Zhou Ming has a way to restrain the flames?!"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid he's the only one in the entire Rain World who can obtain 'that item'!"
The two of them exchanged glances and saw through each other's thoughts.
That item was located somewhere in the Abyssal Flame Sea. Even a Void Fragmentation Realm expert could not enter that place without permission and retrieve it.
In order to retrieve that item, the Rain Palace had deliberately nurtured Revered Yan and provided him with all kinds of preferential treatment for his cultivation. They allowed him to devour the Earth Vein Demonic Flame and protected him with the protection of a Void Refinement Realm expert. They allowed him and his disciples to break the law arrogantly.
However, even if they want to rely on Revered Yan to retrieve that item, they would at least need to nurture him to the Void Fragmentation Realm … Everything was too uncertain. Who could be sure if Revered Yan could attain the Void Fragmentation Realm after tens of thousands of years?
"If this Zhou Ming is willing to help the Rain Palace, we don't need Yun Yan's help anymore!"
"We can't let Yun Yan continue to fight against this Zhou Ming. Once Yun Yan offends Zhou Ming completely, it will be difficult for us to recruit him to work for the Rain Palace."
The two of them took a step forward, preparing to stop the battle between Revered Yan and Ning Fan.
No one knew that the two Void Refinement Realm experts actually had the thought of befriending Ning Fan.
Ning Fan slowly withdrew the vortex on his palm and licked his lips as if it was tasty. Such pure fire sense power had filled the Stele of Sun and Moon with at least one percent of its soul power.
He did not continue to kill Revered Yan. By extracting his primordial spirit, touching his magic treasures and devouring his fire sense, Ning Fan had already severely injured him.
With Ning Fan's personality, he was naturally unwilling to make enemies. However, it was also unwise to kill Revered Yan in front of tens of thousands of people and offend the Rain Palace.
Even if he really wants to kill Revered Yan, it would be better to launch a sneak attack behind everyone's back …
"Hand over the three types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames." Ning Fan's cold voice left no room for refusal.
"Impossible! Don't even think about it! Haha! You can't take away my position. You can't! "
Revered Yan seemed to have gone mad. He had never felt such strong killing intent towards Ning Fan before.
In the past, he only wanted to kill Ning Fan and seize his flames. Now, however, he wanted to kill Ning Fan and eliminate all future troubles!
Ning Fan had threatened his position! It was because Ning Fan was the emperor of fire and he was not afraid of fire. If he is still alive, the Rain Palace would no longer need him and he would lose the full support of the Rain Palace!
"Void Fire Technique, Samadhi Fire Palm!"
Revered Yan's eyes were already bloodshot. He must kill Ning Fan before the two Void Refinement Realm experts befriended Ning Fan!
