"Zhou Xiaoming, let go of me. Let go … En …"
Being hugged tightly by Ning Fan in front of so many people, Bei Xiaoman's face was filled with embarrassment and anger even though they had intimate contact before.
However, the more she struggled, the tighter Ning Fan hugged her, as if he was purposely bullying her.
Then, he stealthily moved his finger and caressed a sensitive spot on Bei Xiaoman's waist. Bei Xiaoman's body went numb and she let out a soft moan. Then, she felt so ashamed that she wanted to die.
Fortunately, the cultivators at the scene only thought that Bei Xiaoman was moaning because she was hurt. They did not know that her sensitive areas had been touched. Otherwise, Bei Xiaoman would go crazy on the spot.
"You, shameless!" Bei Xiaoman had a grudge but she could not say it out loud. She did not dare to say that she was touched by Ning Fan in front of so many people.
Yes, he was the most shameless person in the world.
I hate him, I hate him the most!
But why was she so happy when he came to save her?
Bei Xiaoman's mind was in a mess. Then, she remembered how powerful Ximen Ye was and her face turned pale.
"Zhou, Zhou Xiaoming, hurry up and leave … He's very powerful …"
"I know."
Ning Fan gently let go of Bei Xiaoman and shielded her behind him. Then, he wiped away the bloodstain on her lips with the tip of his finger, causing her face to turn red with embarrassment.
Before he made his move, Ning Fan had already sensed that Ximen Ye was extraordinary.
This Ximen Ye was just a clone of his but it possessed the strength of a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert.
Even if the true body of this person is not at the Peak Void Refinement Realm, it should at least be at the Void Fragmentation Realm!
If Ximen Ye is just an ordinary Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert, Ning Fan was confident that he could put up a fight against him. However, Ximen Ye possessed Void Fragmentation Realm combat awareness. His true combat power was probably at the Void Refinement Realm.
Saving Bei Xiaoman would only bring him trouble. However, before he could clearly weigh the pros and cons, his body had already involuntarily flashed out. When Bei Xiaoman was in danger, he stood in front of her.
Perhaps it was for Yuan Yao's sake.
Perhaps, this was his responsibility as the Tower Master of the Lost World Tower.
Perhaps it was a joking mistress relationship with Bei Xiaoman.
Perhaps, it was because he did not want anyone other than himself to bully Bei Xiaoman.
"As long as I'm here, you won't be able to take her away." Ning Fan's tone was flat, but his aura was not any weaker than Ximen Ye's.
He would not be frightened by Ximen Ye. Even if the true body of Ximen Ye came, he would still have the same attitude.
He had offended many Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters!
"You?" Ximen Ye acted as if he had heard something hilarious. He gave the three Peak Divine Transformation Realm experts beside him a meaningful glance. Then, he closed his eyes lazily, waiting for Ning Fan's blood to splash three feet high.
Immediately, the three Peak Divine Transformation Realm experts understood what Ning Fan meant. Each of them let out a cold smirk and turned into three wisps of smoke to attack Ning Fan.
"Despicable!" Seeing Ning Fan being attacked by three Peak Divine Transformation Realm experts, Bei Xiaoman's expression immediately changed.
The members of the Ximen Clan were quite proficient in joint attacks. The combined strength of the three Peak Divine Transformation Realm experts was almost comparable to that of ordinary Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts.
Moreover, the three of them were cultivators from the Upper World. Their techniques were much stronger than Revered Yan from the Lower World. Thus, Bei Xiaoman was naturally worried that Ning Fan would be at a disadvantage.
Ximen Ye slightly closed his eyes, clearly thinking that victory was already in his grasp.
From his point of view, if they were only dealing with a Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivator, even if that Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivator's combat power was comparable to a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator, he would certainly not be able to withstand the ruthless attacks of his three servants.
"Scram!"
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He took a step forward and a wave of majestic sword qi spread out, engulfing the main hall.
Before the three Peak Divine Transformation Realm experts could get close to Ning Fan, they were forced out of their bodies by the powerful force of the sword. Immediately, their chests felt as if they had suffered a heavy blow. All of them were sent flying backwards while coughing out blood. Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Immortal Trapping Sword Intent. Moreover, it's even a Grand Accomplishment sword intent!"
The three of them had killed countless Divine Transformation Realm experts by joining hands. However, they could not even get close to Ning Fan's body. Just by saying 'scram' and taking a single step like a sword, the three of them were sent flying backwards while coughing out blood.
Even Ximen Ye's expression turned slightly grim. He immediately realized that Ning Fan was not a Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivator like the information he received. Instead, he was a genuine Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.
"Peak Divine Transformation Realm? A Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivator whose bone age is less than five hundred years? His aptitude is indeed extraordinary. However, you have to understand that in this world, you can't reach the peak just by relying on your aptitude. In my eyes, you're just an ant! "
When one's cultivation base reaches a certain level, aptitude would no longer be the most important.
Without a strong background and the support of countless cultivation resources, breaking through to the Void Fragmentation Realm, Life Immortal Realm and True Immortal Realm would be completely unrealistic.
In Ximen Ye's eyes, Ning Fan was just a junior with average aptitude.
After all, Ximen Ye's true body had already attained the Void Fragmentation Realm. In the Four Heavens, he was one of the few geniuses of this generation.
As for Ning Fan, he was just at the Peak Divine Transformation Realm. It was still unknown whether he could attain the Void Refinement Realm or the Void Fragmentation Realm. Aptitude did not mean everything!
"You, kill him."
Ximen Ye signaled to an elderly man in silver robes beside him. That elderly man immediately understood what he meant and took a step forward. Surprisingly, his cultivation base was also at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm.
The silver-robed elderly man's body was surrounded by traces of lightning which made sizzling sounds.
At the moment when his aura force was released, all the cultivators of the Ximen Clan except for Ximen Ye kept a distance from him. Their faces were filled with fear.
"Is it Elder Lei who is going to make a move this time? Elder Lei's lightning technique is rarely matched by anyone at the same level as him. Especially this lightning which is a Sixth Grade Void Lightning. Its power is extraordinary … "
"I heard that the Endless Sea of the lower world has some bullsh * t called the Seven Venerated Beings of the Internal Endless Sea. If these seven venerated beings are placed in front of Elder Lei, they are nothing!"
A series of whispers fell into the silver-robed elderly man's ears. However, it did not affect his mind at all. It showed that he was a cultivator with a strong heart.
Elder Lei's gaze swept across Bei Xiaoman. When he saw the latter's slightly pale face, he felt a little guilty.
He had received many favors from the four young mistresses of the Lost World Palace. If he were to kill Ning Fan today, Bei Xiaoman would certainly be sad.
He sighed inwardly. However, he could not help himself. Now that he was a member of the Ximen Clan, he had to be loyal to them.
He looked at Ning Fan with a hint of mercy in his eyes. Then, he said coldly.
"Zhou Ming, if you surrender now, I will let your soul enter Samsara for the sake of the Fourth Mistress!"
"No need. You are not my match."
"Humph! Shameless boasting! "
Elder Lei's eyes turned cold. He was an expert who had half a step into the Void Refinement Realm. Why would he be afraid of a Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivator?
He was already showing mercy by letting Ning Fan's soul enter Samsara. Since Ning Fan did not know what was good for him, there was no need for him to show any mercy.
He took a step forward and silver lightning surrounded his body. He drew a semicircle in the air with both of his hands. At the next moment, the lightning turned into an Eight Trigrams Palm Imprint and struck at Ning Fan.
"Eight Directional Lightning!"
The Eight Trigrams Palm Imprint immediately turned into eight lightning snakes that were as thick as the mouth of a bowl and attacked Ning Fan with sizzling sounds.
This palm attack was not a large-scale attack. Instead, it condensed the palm force to its limit. Each of the lightning snakes could easily kill a Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.
"This lightning is not bad. I want it!"
Ning Fan suddenly touched his glabella and drew out the Spirit Breaking Whip which was a Peak Spiritual Treasure. He then lashed eight times at the eight lightning snakes.
Although his opponent's lightning was a Sixth Grade Void Lightning, Ning Fan's lightning was the lightning of the heavenly tribulation.
The eight whip shadows and eight blood lightning dragons clashed with the silver lightning. Immediately, electric sparks shot out in all directions.
Shi Bing and Lu Qing immediately activated the southern tower's defense to prevent the battle from affecting the outside world.
Once the electric sparks spread, perhaps the area within ten thousand li * (500m per li) of the Black Tortoise City would be razed to the ground.
* Rumble *
When the two lightning snakes came into contact with each other, Elder Lei's expression changed drastically. His Sixth Grade silver lightning actually showed signs of fear. It did not dare to resist the blood lightning at all.
After the eight lashes, the lightning snakes suddenly shattered and all the electric sparks were devoured by the blood lightning.
In front of everyone's eyes, the Spirit Breaking Whip devoured all of Elder Lei's spirit lightning and advanced to a Half-Step Void Treasure!
"Heavenly Tribulation Blood Lightning! Among the seven realms of the cultivation realm, this lightning is almost the strongest! "
Elder Lei's expression turned grim. He finally realized that even though Ning Fan was only a Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivator, his techniques were definitely not weak. It would be very difficult for him to defeat Ning Fan!
When he turned around, he saw Ximen Ye looking at him with displeasure. All of a sudden, Elder Lei knew that something was wrong. If he could not kill Ning Fan, he would definitely be killed by Ximen Ye.
"Let's fight! Thunder Splitting Sword, appear! "
Elder Lei waved his sleeve and eight silver sword shadows appeared in front of him.
Each of the sword shadows was a Peak Spiritual Treasure. When the eight swords merged into one, its destructive power would not be any weaker than a Void Treasure!
"It's the Thunder Splitting Sword! This is the treasure that made Elder Lei famous. I wonder how many Divine Transformation Realm cultivators have died under this sword! "
"Humph! That Zhou Ming is dead for sure. Even though his blood whip is powerful and can restrain lightning, it is just a Half-Step Void Treasure after all. It can't withstand the destructive power of this Thunder Splitting Sword!"
Even though Elder Lei was slightly weaker than Ning Fan, all the cultivators of the Ximen Clan believed that Elder Lei had a higher chance of winning.
As Elder Lei changed his hand seal, the eight swords turned into rays of light and shot forward, emitting ear-piercing screeches. All of a sudden, they disappeared without a trace. In the next moment, each of them flashed and appeared five zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from Ning Fan. Sword qi shot out from the swords and eight streaks of sword lightning swept towards Ning Fan.
When the eight lightning swords merged into one, even a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert would die.
Seeing that the eight swords were coming at him, Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He took a step forward and the blood whip in his hand moved like a shadow. In an instant, he lashed out one hundred times consecutively.
The one hundred whips landed on the eight Thunder Splitting Swords. In just an instant, the eight swords broke into pieces from the middle as if they were struck by lightning.
As for the eight streaks of lightning swords, they were directly swept away by the Spirit Breaking Whip.
After his eight swords were broken, Elder Lei's eyes were filled with shock. He had never expected that the Spirit Breaking Whip was actually such a powerful magic treasure.
What was even more unexpected was that at the same time when the eight swords were broken, one hundred streaks of blood-red lightning suddenly rose from his dantian and heavily struck his primordial spirit.
* Puff *
Elder Lei's face turned pale. He was severely injured. He could feel that if it wasn't for Ning Fan showing mercy, his primordial spirit would have been destroyed and he would have died under the blood lightning!
"Retreat! Otherwise, I won't show mercy anymore! "
Ning Fan held the lightning whip in his hand. His eyes were like a devil and his black hair danced wildly in the wind.
If it wasn't for Elder Lei's kind words and willingness to let Ning Fan's soul enter Samsara, Ning Fan would definitely not spare his life.
If Elder Lei continues to be stubborn, Ning Fan will no longer show mercy … He will just kill him!
* Hiss *
A gust of cold qi swept across the cultivators of the Ximen Clan.
Elder Lei who possessed the Sixth Grade Spirit Lightning and the Thunder Splitting Swords was nearly killed by Ning Fan in just two moves.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that if it wasn't for Ning Fan showing mercy, Elder Lei would have already died!
This Zhou Ming is a ruthless person! Even though he is not as good as Ximen Ye, he can still be considered as a genius whose name can shake a region in the Northern Heaven.
Under Ning Fan's intense gaze, the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators of the Ximen Clan who were extremely arrogant just now avoided eye contact with him. None of them dared to look him in the eye.
"Ximen Ye, I've said it before. As long as I'm here, you won't be able to take her away!"
* Rumble *
Ximen Ye's face darkened. Ning Fan's words were no different from slapping his face.
He mercilessly sent out a palm strike. Elder Lei's severely injured physical body immediately turned into a mist of blood. Only his primordial spirit survived.
"Trash! After I kill this evil, I will come and kill you! "
Elder Lei's primordial spirit was filled with fear. However, he did not dare to resist and he could not.
Ximen Ye was too strong. Killing him was just a matter of seconds.
His gaze shifted to Ning Fan. He already understood that Ning Fan was indeed a formidable figure. At least, there was almost no one below the Void Refinement Realm who could defeat him.
However, that was only below the Void Refinement Realm.
Even though Ximen Ye's clone was also at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm, his true body was a true First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!
"Do you like Bei Xiaoman a lot?"
"…" Ning Fan did not answer.
"Humph! I won't bully you. As long as you can defeat me by half a move, Bei Xiaoman will be yours! "
* Chi *
Ximen Ye drew a line in the void with his palm. Immediately, the air in front of him was split into two halves by the force of his palm, revealing a newly opened heavenly dwelling space.
"Opening the heavenly dwelling with a palm!"
Ning Fan's heart shuddered. Only Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters could achieve such a technique. With Ning Fan's eyesight, even though the heavenly dwelling space that Ximen Ye casually opened was only ten thousand li * (500m per li) wide, it was enough to show that this person's techniques were extraordinary.
Moreover, it seemed that this Ximen Ye was extremely conceited. He disdained to defeat Ning Fan in the Black Tortoise City. After all, fighting in the Black Tortoise City might affect other cultivators and distract Ning Fan.
Ximen Ye wanted to openly trample Ning Fan under his feet!
"Enter this heavenly dwelling and fight with me. If you can defeat me by half a move, Bei Xiaoman will be yours! If you lose, you will die! "
Ximen Ye did not say a word and stepped into the heavenly dwelling.
As for Ning Fan, after pondering for a while, he reckoned that it would be easy for him to destroy a mere heavenly dwelling space with his Wind Mist Finger. If there are any changes, he could escape at any time.
Moreover, this space had just been opened. It was impossible for there to be any formation or ambush.
"Xiaoman, I'm not a commodity."
Ning Fan turned his head to look at Bei Xiaoman and gave her a faint smile. Then, he turned around and stepped into the heavenly dwelling space.
* Plop *
Another small pebble fell into the lake of her heart. His words had made Bei Xiaoman's heart tremble.
Not a commodity … He said that I'm not a commodity …
Be it my mother or my elder sister, both of them treated my engagement as a bargaining chip to befriend the Ximen Clan and treated me like a commodity. However, he said that I'm not a commodity.
Bei Xiaoman had always felt that Ning Fan was very hateful. Extremely hateful.
Every time she saw Ning Fan smile at her, she would feel inexplicably angry.
However, this time, she felt that his smile was especially beautiful. It was so beautiful that it made her heart ache.
He clearly knows how strong Ximen Ye is but he still wants to fight him.
Doesn't he love to bully me the most? Why is he willing to stand up for me?
"Don't go …"
Bei Xiaoman suddenly felt scared. She knew how strong Ximen Ye was. She tried to persuade him to stay but Ning Fan had already entered the heavenly dwelling space.
She wanted to enter the heavenly dwelling space but it was opened by Ximen Ye's palm imprint. Unless one was a Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator, who else could enter it easily …
* Boom *
Without giving Bei Xiaoman too much time to think, just as Ning Fan and Ximen Ye entered the heavenly dwelling space, an earth-shattering fluctuation spread out from the heavenly dwelling space … Both of them used their full strength as soon as they fought!
The fluctuation from their battle almost shattered the heavenly dwelling space!
* Chi *
A stream of blood flowed out from the crack in the void, splashing onto Bei Xiaoman's face.
Bei Xiaoman gently touched the blood. How could she not recognize that aura?
It's Ning Fan's blood …
What happened inside? What exactly happened?
Why did Ning Fan's blood splatter across the void as soon as he attacked?!
"Be alright! Be alright! "
Bei Xiaoman could no longer hold back her tears. Ning Fan was fighting for her but she did not even know whether he was dead or alive at this moment.
She finally realized that she could no longer let go of him in her heart …
…
In the heavenly dwelling space, Ning Fan's entire body was bathed in blood. His eyes were filled with coldness. In front of him, Ximen Ye's fist bones were also shattered. He was inwardly shocked.
His separated soul was at the Peak Jade Life Body Refinement Realm while Ning Fan was only at the Third Level of the Jade Life Body Refinement Realm.
However, after hundreds of punches, Ning Fan did not seem to be in a disadvantageous position even though he was bathed in blood.
As for Ximen Ye, he did not have a complete victory. His fist bones were shattered by Ning Fan.
"You are very strong. However, your strength is only within the Divine Transformation Realm. I have already reached the Void Fragmentation Realm and I have seen too many geniuses. I'm not afraid to tell you that the strength of this separated soul is almost the same as my strength when I was at the Divine Transformation Realm. You are no match for me! "
"Is that so? Then why are your fist bones shattered?" Ning Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His battle intent became even stronger.
It was his first time meeting a genius of the same generation as him. Moreover, that person was so strong that he instinctively trembled with nervousness and excitement.
In the past, he became a little arrogant just because he defeated some geniuses.
Han Nietian and Ximen Ye … They were all existences who had broken through to the Void Fragmentation Realm among their peers!
"I won't lose!" Ning Fan said resolutely.
"Humph! What a shameless boast. I won't show any mercy to you this time. Soul Extraction! "
Ximen Ye clawed at the earth soul of the heavenly dwelling with his five fingers.
However, Ning Fan's lips curved into a cold smirk. He also clawed at the earth soul before Ximen Ye did.
There was only one earth soul. After Ning Fan extracted it, Ximen Ye had no other soul to extract.
"You also know the Soul Extraction Technique and you are even more skilled than me. This is impossible!"
Ximen Ye's expression changed for the first time.
This Soul Extraction Technique was only comprehended after Ximen Ye broke through to the Void Fragmentation Realm. Thus, he was not very proficient in it. Originally, he wanted to extract the soul until his magic power reached the Void Refinement Realm and kill Ning Fan with a single move. However, he did not expect that Ning Fan would take away his earth soul instead.
After extracting the soul into his body, Ning Fan's magic power skyrocketed. All of a sudden, his cultivation base rose to the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm, which was not any weaker than Ximen Ye.
His bones let out a crisp sound that sounded like a sonic boom. Ning Fan's eyes were like lightning as he stared at Ximen Ye coldly. Two layers of palm imprints condensed in the center of his palms and he threw a palm strike.
At the next moment, rolling black flames turned into a two thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) large flaming palm, pressing towards Ximen Ye from the sky.
"Mortal Void Realm magic technique? But so what?! Great Void Palm! "
Ximen Ye threw out a palm imprint. The void power that was as dark as the night turned into a two thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) large black palm imprint and collided with the flaming palm.
* Boom *
The flaming palm was shattered and so was the Void Palm. Waves of energy swept across the place, almost causing the space of the heavenly dwelling to collapse.
Ning Fan took ten steps back while Ximen Ye took nine steps back. Only then did they manage to stabilize their bodies.
Ximen Ye was inwardly surprised. The Great Void Palm that he used all of his strength was actually blocked by Ning Fan.
What was even more unbelievable was that Ning Fan flapped his Fu Li purple wings the moment he stabilized his body. He held his sword with both of his hands. One of his hands was filled with starlight like water while the other was filled with blood qi like a dragon.
He was not shaken by the destruction of the flaming palm at all. Holding the sharp swords with both of his hands, he attacked Ximen Ye without any fear of death.
"I will not lose!"
This time, Ximen Ye could truly feel the aura force from Ning Fan's sword.
Then, his expression changed. This Ning Fan was definitely the most ferocious Divine Transformation Realm cultivator he had ever met.
"However, you are just a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator after all … Condense a sword from the void!"
Ximen Ye waved his hand and the power of the void condensed into a pitch-black sword. Its power was comparable to a Void Treasure!
He pointed his sword at Ning Fan's two swords. When the swords clashed with each other, the space of the heavenly dwelling began to collapse.
After the swords clashed for more than ten times, Ximen Ye impatiently realized that he could not gain any advantage over Ning Fan at all.
Moreover, in terms of the exquisiteness of sword techniques, he was far inferior to Ning Fan.
"I can't believe that I lost to an ant from the lower world in terms of the Dao of Sword!"
A strong sense of displeasure surged in Ximen Ye's heart.
He held his sword with one hand and the other fiercely slapped the body of Ning Fan's Separation Slayer.
The force of the slap shattered the webbing between Ning Fan's thumb and forefinger. Blood gushed out like a fountain. However, his eyes did not change his charging stance. He slashed the Blood Dragon Demon Sword towards Ximen Ye's neck, not caring about the injury he suffered.
Ximen Ye was secretly shocked. This kind of fighting method that risked one's life to take another's life made him extremely fearful.
He hurriedly retreated but his neck was still slashed by the Blood Dragon Demon Sword, leaving behind a half-inch long bloody mark.
Moreover, when the Blood Dragon Demon Sword slashed his skin, there seemed to be a tearing force coming from the blood sword, sucking away a lot of Ximen Ye's blood essence. Due to his carelessness, he suffered a greater loss than Ning Fan.
"What kind of demon sword is this?!" Ximen Ye was enraged. He would not allow himself to be injured by an ant.
"Half a move. I have won." Ning Fan mocked.
"Shut up!" Ximen Ye's eyes were filled with madness.
The agreement of half a move was thrown to the back of his mind.
At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind and that was to … kill Ning Fan!
