The two old men, Fang Sheng and Fang Si, stood on the ocean of void respectively. Their auras were like divine beings.
King Jin was barely breathing. He raised his head to look at the two old men. His face was filled with excitement as if he had just survived a disaster. "Palace masters, please save me! I'm still of great use to the Sixth Prince. You can't just leave me in the lurch! "
"Shut up!"
Deputy Palace Master Fang Si snorted coldly. His magic power, as dark as ink, pressed down on King Jin and interweaved into numerous black fishing lines, piercing into King Jin's limbs and bones, leaving numerous tiny bloody holes on his body.
The black fishing lines had some kind of ability. They extracted traces of strange black qi from King Jin's body and actually suppressed his critical injuries.
The palace master Fang Sheng, on the other hand, was expressionless. He reached out his hand and clawed at King Jin from afar. Traces of white magic power immediately interweaved into a mysterious and huge fishing net.
Fang Sheng shook the fishing net and spread it in King Jin's direction. Then, he pulled King Jin away from his original spot from ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away.
When he looked again, King Jin had already appeared in the huge net out of nowhere. He was pulled to Fang Sheng's side and casually tossed to the few clusters of immortal clouds behind him along with the net.
"Marquis White Robe! Since you want to take King Jin's life, fight with us first! "
The two of them stared at Ning Fan coldly. The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. Fang Si's fishing line was very strange. He could not see through its specific ability.
Fang Sheng's attack was extremely fast. The fishing net was also very strange. If it wasn't for Ning Fan's incredible eyesight, he would not have been able to see how Fang Sheng controlled the fishing net to take King Jin away.
In just a short while, Ning Fan was convinced that the palace master and vice palace master of the Serene Heaven Palace were not easy to deal with. They were extremely strong opponents.
At the same time, Ning Fan was a little suspicious about their intentions … They didn't seem to come to save King Jin. Instead, they seemed to have other intentions.
On the surface, they seemed to want to protect King Jin and fight against Ning Fan. However, their words and actions were somewhat contradictory.
They had obviously saved King Jin but they just casually left him aside … It didn't make sense!
If what the two of them said was true, that King Jin was of great use to the Sixth Prince and was so important that he had to be saved, their first task after rescuing King Jin should be to bring him away from here. Their top priority was to protect King Jin's life instead of staying here and entangling with Ning Fan endlessly, putting King Jin in danger.
What did he mean by 'if you want to take King Jin's life, you must fight with us first'?
Their words seemed to be hinting to Ning Fan that if he defeats the two of them, he would be able to kill King Jin at will … If he wants to kill King Jin, he would have to fight both of them!
It seemed like the two of them wanted to use King Jin as bait to lure Ning Fan into a battle with them …
"Is the reason why these two people showed up because they came for me?" Ning Fan's eyes narrowed as he vaguely had a guess.
He did not immediately fight with the two. Instead, he took a few steps back and looked on coldly.
"Since this person is of great use to the Sixth Prince, I will give him face and not kill him. You guys can take him away." Ning Fan intentionally pointed at King Jin and said.
"Err …"
Fang Sheng and Fang Si were stunned. Obviously, they did not expect that Ning Fan would actually give up on killing King Jin. This was completely different from the information they received about Ning Fan's character.
Logically speaking, after being threatened by the two of them several times, Ning Fan should have fought them without caring about anything. Why did he choose to give up?
If Ning Fan doesn't fight them, wouldn't their plan fail to be completed?
Just like what Ning Fan had guessed, the reason why the two of them showed up at this place was not to save King Jin. Instead, it was because they were ordered by the Sixth Prince, Yun Youmu, to find something to test Ning Fan …
Indeed, the reason why the Serene Heaven Palace supported Jin and nurtured King Jin was because King Jin was of some use to the Sixth Prince.
However, that was just a minor use that was dispensable. It was definitely not as important as this time to test Ning Fan!
The Sixth Prince ordered Fang Sheng and Fang Si to fight Ning Fan and to test him during the battle. For the sake of this plan, it did not matter even if they had to abandon King Jin.
What Fang Sheng and Fang Si did not know was that Ning Fan had already suspected them of having ulterior motives.
Seeing that Ning Fan had given up on killing King Jin, the two of them no longer had any reason to fight him. Fang Si let out a cold humph and took a step forward, blocking Ning Fan's path of retreat. His aura force turned into a gigantic black mountain, pressing down on Ning Fan's head.
"Marquis White Robe, why are you in such a hurry to leave? This old man is the Vice Palace Master of the Serene Heaven Palace, Fang Si. I've long heard of your remarkable abilities, Marquis White Robe. Today, I've specially come to ask for your guidance. Fellow Daoist, by fleeing without a fight, are you afraid of this old man?"
Fang Si had clearly saved King Jin but he insisted on fighting Ning Fan. As expected, he had ulterior motives!
Ning Fan's eyes narrowed. The reason why he pretended to say that he would let King Jin go was just to test the motives of the two palace lords.
At this moment, he was completely sure that Fang Sheng and Fang Si had made an appearance here because they were plotting against him!
Saving King Jin was just an excuse!
Since Fang Si wanted to fight, Ning Fan would not hesitate to do so. He wanted to see what exactly Fang Si was planning!
"Since you want to fight, then make your move!"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with cold light. His aura force soared to the sky like an ancient sword hanging in the heavens, shattering Fang Si's black mountain into countless pieces!
Fang Si was indeed very strong. However, to the current Ning Fan, he might not necessarily be invincible.
Fang Si's eyes widened slightly. He did not expect that his aura force would be easily broken by Ning Fan.
His initial underestimation towards Ning Fan was completely dispelled. He also realized that Ning Fan was a strong opponent. Thus, he no longer held back. He soared into the sky and took out a treasure.
"Tai Yi Five Elements Scrolls!"
Fang Si did not hold back. As soon as he attacked, he took out five ancient scrolls. They were the magic treasures of an ancient cultivator that he had found in a secret place.
Each of the five scrolls had different drawings that represented the five elements.
The five scrolls unfurled in the wind. A vast power of the five elements burst out from the scrolls, turning into five extreme mountains of five colors. The colors were gold, green, blue, red and yellow respectively. All of them pressed down on Ning Fan's head.
Each of the extreme mountains was ten thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall. Their magic power was vast enough to suppress a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator.
When the five mountains combined into one, they could even suppress an ordinary Void Pierce Stage cultivator!
All of the cultivators in Lin Shui City were shocked by Fang Si's terrifying magic treasures.
If the five extreme mountains fall, the entire area within one hundred thousand li * (500m per li) of Lin Shui City would be razed to the ground. Not even a single blade of grass would be left!
Zhi He, Lan Mei and Bai Lu were also sitting on the seats of Yue Country. Each of them was looking at Ning Fan with worry in their eyes.
Ning Fan looked at the cultivators around him and sighed softly.
There were many cultivators here who were his old acquaintances. Besides, there were also the women he loved. No matter what, it was impossible for him to avoid Fang Si's attack. The only thing he could do was to fight against him. He must not let the five extreme mountains fall and hurt those beautiful women!
"Yellow Dragon Seven Tokens!"
Ning Fan flew into the sky. All of a sudden, he took out seven layers of the Yellow Dragon Token and summoned seven layers of yellow skies. Using his great magic power, he lifted the seven layers of yellow skies and rose against the sky, colliding with the five extreme mountains!
The five extreme mountains crumbled one after another. Five layers of the seven layers of yellow skies were also destroyed. The impact of the collision was earth-shattering. The city walls of Lin Shui City were destroyed one after another. Even the mountain ranges of Song Country had collapsed due to the collision.
Even though the Yellow Dragon Seven Tokens managed to block the five extreme mountains, Ning Fan did not feel relaxed at all. All of a sudden, his eyes flashed with surprise.
Black fishing lines that were as dense as raindrops shot out from each of the five broken extreme mountains. They easily pierced through the remaining two layers of yellow skies!
Under the attack of the black fishing lines, the Yellow Dragon Seven Tokens suddenly turned into dust as if they were decaying!
"What kind of ability does this black fishing line actually have? It's so strange that it can corrode magic treasures!" Ning Fan did not mind losing the Yellow Dragon Seven Tokens. After all, he had as many magic treasures as he wanted.
However, Fang Si's black fishing line ability really made Ning Fan feel a little fearful.
Even though Ning Fan's physical body was strong, his physical body would probably rot if he was hit by the black fishing line.
Even a Two-Star Divine Weapon might not be able to withstand the corrosive power of the fishing line.
The surprise in Ning Fan's eyes did not escape Fang Si's observation.
"Humph! The famous Marquis White Robe is just so-so! "Even though Fang Si spoke ruthlessly, his heart was filled with disappointment.
"This young man doesn't seem to recognize my fishing line ability. That surprised expression of his doesn't seem fake … Could it be that it's just a coincidence that he knows the Mutual Death Technique of the Shedding Orchid Sect? Could it be that this young man hasn't obtained the inheritance of the Shedding Orchid Sect and doesn't know the whereabouts of the 'Immemorial Fisherman's Mino'? "
Fang Si shook his head slightly. No matter what, he still needed to test him again.
He pointed at the Taiyi Five Elemental Scrolls again and activated the second transformation of this treasure.
This Taiyi Five Elemental Scrolls was a magic treasure of an ancient cultivator. Because it was severely damaged, its destructive power was only equivalent to a High Grade Mortal Void Magic Treasure. However, its ability was definitely not to be underestimated.
The transformation of this treasure was divided into three stages. They were the five mountains, five seas and five dragons.
Previously, when Fang Si used this treasure to unleash the attack of the five extreme mountains, it was the attack of the five mountains.
What he was going to display now was the attack of the five seas.
"Ji!"
As Fang Si pointed with his finger, the five scrolls each released the power of the five elements, turning into a five-colored sea. The waves swept across the sky and drowned Ning Fan in an instant.
Ning Fan stood in the middle of the waves, enduring the five types of attacks from the five-colored waves.
The coldness of water, the scorching heat of fire, the devouring power of wood, the crushing power of earth, the slashing power of metal …
In just an instant, Ning Fan's body was already covered with many wounds. Blood kept flowing out.
Without hesitation, Ning Fan summoned his Primordial Lightning Armor and used the Black Star Technique to heal his wounds. Finally, he managed to withstand the attack of the five-colored waves.
He stepped on the waves, ignoring the attacks of the waves. His essence qi flowed through his arms. It was as if he had the power to overturn mountains and overturn seas. Then, he used both of his hands to tear the waves apart!
"Hmm? His Primordial Lightning Armor isn't weak at all. It actually withstood the second attack of the Taiyi Five Elemental Scrolls? But so what? With the power of his current lightning armor, it won't be able to withstand the decaying power of the Immemorial Fishing Lines. Even though what I have learned is just the incomplete technique of the Immemorial Fishing Lines, even an Absolute Void Stage cultivator might not be able to withstand it! "
Fang Si's magic power flowed out rapidly. He suddenly performed a hand seal and countless black fishing lines emerged from the scattered five-colored waves, piercing towards Ning Fan.
Without hesitation, Ning Fan summoned his Eight Black Burning Wings. While retreating rapidly, he took out a few Mortal Void magic treasures and threw them at the fishing lines, using them to wear down the power of the fishing lines.
As soon as the few Mortal Void magic treasures came into contact with the fishing lines, they were all pierced and turned into rotten pieces.
Even though Ning Fan had retreated extremely quickly, his Primordial Lightning Armor was still damaged by the black fishing lines.
Once again, Ning Fan had a clear understanding of the destructive power of the black fishing lines.
Unless his cultivation base breaks through to the Absolute Void Stage, it will be very difficult for him to withstand the attack of these fishing lines head-on …
"As expected, he doesn't recognize the Immemorial Fishing Lines Technique … Fine. I'll use the third attack to test him one last time."
Fang Si activated the Taiyi Five Elemental Scrolls for the last time. The power of the five elements on the five scrolls turned into five gigantic dragons that soared in the sky!
Flame Dragon, Ice Dragon, Earth Dragon, Wood Dragon and Lightning Dragon!
Each of the gigantic dragons was six thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) long. Each of them had the strength of an unrivalled Void Inquiry Stage expert!
Even a Void Pierce Stage expert would find it hard to withstand the joint attack of the five dragons!
More importantly, Fang Si would also sneak attack Ning Fan with the terrifying black fishing lines during his attacks.
From Fang Si's point of view, Ning Fan would definitely not be able to withstand this attack!
Fang Si did not have the intention to kill Ning Fan. After all, Ning Fan was useful to the Rain Sovereign. Without the Rain Sovereign's order, no one would dare to touch him.
This attack would at most injure Ning Fan a little. Fang Si's initial purpose was just to test Ning Fan. He did not harbor any hostility towards him.
"There's no need to watch anymore. This young man is definitely not a match for me. After this round of attacks ends, let's bring King Jin back to the Serene Heaven Palace and report to the Sixth Prince."
Fang Si transmitted his voice to Fang Sheng with a confident tone of victory.
As he pointed his finger, the five gigantic dragons let out deafening dragon roars and spat out five-colored dragon light. As soon as the five-colored dragon light is unleashed, Ning Fan would at least be severely injured!
Ning Fan did not dodge or evade. Facing the five gigantic dragons, he just closed his eyes and thought quickly.
It was not difficult to break the joint attack of the five dragons. It was as easy as breaking the five mountains and five seas.
The difficult part was how to deal with the black fishing line that was hidden within the five dragons' attack.
"That black fishing line looks a little familiar to me. It's just like the white Dao Line that I saw when I sent Ning Gu to his reincarnation … That white line is the Dao Line of Life while this black line is similar to the Dao Line of Life. However, its power is the opposite. Could it be … the Dao Line of Death?!"
"No. It's not the real Dao Line of Death. Even though the black fishing line that Fang Si used looks similar to the Dao Line of Death, it doesn't look like it. There is no Dao Power in his fishing line. It's just a deliberate imitation … I can't be wrong. This black fishing line must be an imitation of the Dao Line of Death! "
"In that case, the white fishing net that Fang Sheng used just now should be a divine ability that imitates the Dao Line of Life … Little You Er said that the Dao Line of Life and Death is a divine ability that only Life Immortal Realm experts can master. Since these two people can imitate the divine ability of Life Immortal Realm experts, it's no wonder that the black fishing line is so difficult to deal with …"
Ning Fan opened his eyes and raised his palm. He looked at the traces of white Dao Line on his palm and fell into deep thought.
"Fang Si can only imitate the Dao Line of Death. I, on the other hand, can see the Dao Line of Life. By using life to subdue death, perhaps I can break the divine ability of that black fishing line …"
Ning Fan stared at the five enormous dragons that were whistling in the sky. All of a sudden, he activated his Fu Li Demon Blood and performed a hand seal to perform a technique.
Five gigantic black tombstones appeared in the sky one after another. Each of the tombstones was surrounded by the shadows of black dragons.
Five Burial Dragon Technique!
The five-colored enormous dragons that Fang Si summoned belonged to the five elements. However, the Five Burial Dragon Technique specialized in breaking the five elements!
When the five dragons die, the black dragons live. When the five elements die, the five graves live!
Ning Fan changed his hand seal and the five tombstones suddenly smashed towards the five enormous dragons, causing them to spurt out blood and fall from the sky!
What was even more frightening was that the five tombstones suddenly produced the sealing power of the black dragons, sealing all the power of the five elements that the five enormous dragons possessed into the tombstones.
The five tombstones continued to smash down and countless black shadows of the tombstones landed on the Taiyi Five Elemental Scrolls.
The five scrolls that were floating in the sky were all shattered by the tombstones. All of them were destroyed!
"My Taiyi Five Elemental Scrolls!" Fang Si's face was filled with astonishment. He did not expect Ning Fan to be able to destroy his supreme treasure.
Before the first round of astonishment could fade away, the second round of astonishment struck him even more violently!
As the five dragons were sealed, the countless black fishing lines that Fang Si had hidden in the five dragons broke out from the tombstones and pierced towards Ning Fan with unstoppable force like raindrops.
This time, Ning Fan no longer dodged the attack of the black fishing lines. He raised his palm and imitated Fang Si's black fishing lines. He drew out countless white fishing lines and scattered them in the sky, colliding with the black fishing lines.
* Zi Zi Zi *
There was no earth-shattering sound. There was only a strange sizzling sound.
The fishing lines of two different colors strangely canceled each other out!
Fang Si's black fishing line technique was broken in a direct confrontation!
"How is this possible?!"
Fang Si stared at the scene in front of him in disbelief!
He was very sure that the white fishing lines that Ning Fan drew out had absolutely nothing to do with the Immemorial Fisherman's Mino Painting. It was just a magic technique that Ning Fan learned on the spot!
What he could not believe was that the white fishing lines that Ning Fan drew out contained an extremely terrifying existence of Dao Power. He had absolutely no idea what the white fishing lines were condensed from!
With Fang Si's current cultivation base, how could he possibly know that the white fishing lines that Ning Fan drew out were the Dao Line of Life?!
Just as Fang Si was lost in thought, Ning Fan flapped his Eight Black Burning Wings and attacked him forcefully!
Ning Fan channeled all of his magic power and essence qi into his palm and sent out one hundred and eight layers of palm imprints towards Fang Si.
Ning Fan was becoming more and more skillful in displaying the Execution Devil Palm. With his current cultivation base, he actually gave Fang Si a feeling that he could not withstand it!
"Not good! It's not easy to withstand this palm attack! "
Fang Si stared at the gigantic palm imprint of the Execution Devil Palm and his eyes widened in astonishment.
His strongest ability was undoubtedly the Immemorial Fishing Line Technique. However, it was canceled out by Ning Fan's Dao Line of Life. It was impossible for him to reform the fishing lines within a short period of time.
As for his strongest magic treasure, the Taiyi Five Elemental Scrolls, it was destroyed by Ning Fan's Five Graves Dragon Burial Technique …
With Fang Si's other magical treasures and divine abilities, none of them were strong enough to resist the Execution Demon Palm!
In a panic, Fang Si summoned a small green shield and placed it in front of him. He then immediately turned into a ray of light and retreated in an attempt to dodge the demonic palm.
The small green shield was a Mid Grade Mortal Void defensive magic treasure. However, it was turned into ashes by the Execution Devil Palm in just an instant!
Fang Si's escape light was not fast enough, but the speed of the palm print was even faster!
At this moment, Fang Si no longer had the calmness he had when he was controlling the fishing line. All he wanted to do was to dodge the demonic palm attack, but no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to do so.
"Ah!"
A blood-curdling scream rang out in the sky. Fang Si's eyes were filled with shock as he vomited blood and fell from the sky!
He, the dignified vice palace lord of the Serene Heaven Palace and a dignified Void Pierce Stage cultivator, had actually lost to Ning Fan!
Looking at Fang Si who was falling from the sky like a kite with a broken string, Ning Fan did not chase after him. Instead, he immediately consumed a pill to recover his magic power and coldly stared at a certain direction in the sky.
"You've been waiting for a long time. Are you still not going to show yourself?"
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Suddenly, a series of applause rang out in the empty sky.
A young man wearing black embroidered robes suddenly appeared.
This young man's long hair was tied to one side. There was a deep scar on his face that was so deep that his bones could be seen. Both of his eyes were squinted all the time, carrying an unfathomable smile.
Although this person was smiling, he gave Ning Fan a cold feeling that came from the depths of his bones.
This person is very dangerous!
"Heh. Marquis White Robe has great skills. You are obviously just at the Void Glimpse Stage but you managed to defeat Fang Si who is at the Void Pierce Stage by relying on your ancient devil abilities. It really surprised me …" The young man with a scar was still smiling.
"Be careful! This person is a cultivator at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. Moreover, his body contains both Life and Death Qi. It is clearly a sign that he has comprehended the Dao Line of Life and Death … This person cannot be underestimated! "Luo You reminded Ning Fan in the Profound Yin World.
Ning Fan, of course, knew that the young man with a scar was not to be underestimated. After all, he could feel an extremely strong sense of danger from this person.
Since this person would appear in this place, Ning Fan had already vaguely guessed his identity.
"Scarlet Heaven Palace Lord Ning Fan greets the 'Poison Cloud Prince'!"
The Poison Cloud Prince's name was Yun Youmu. He was ranked sixth among the seven princes. He was the prince who was in charge of the Serene Heaven Palace.
Ning Fan's mind raced as he secretly pondered about the purpose of Yun Youmu's visit.
From Fang Si's various actions, Ning Fan could guess that Fang Si was under Yun Youmu's order to test him.
Ning Fan had no idea what exactly they were testing him for. However, seeing that Yun Youmu did not seem to be hostile towards him, Ning Fan guessed that they probably did not get what they wanted from him.
Just as Ning Fan was pondering, Yun Youmu suddenly opened his eyes. His dark green pupils flashed with a cold light like that of a poisonous snake. He took out an ancient painting and spread it in front of Ning Fan.
"Have you seen this before?!" His tone did not allow anyone to lie!
Ning Fan did not expect that Yun Youmu would behave in such a strange manner. However, his expression did not change at all. Instead, he indifferently glanced at the painting.
Without a doubt, it was a painting that had just been created not long ago. The ink had yet to dry.
In the painting, there was a fisherman wearing a black straw raincoat. He was holding a black fishing rod and fishing line. Beside him was a white fishing net. He was sitting in the middle of a boat and fishing alone in the cold river …
"I've never seen it before." There was no need for Ning Fan to lie. His expression naturally did not show any signs of falsehood.
"Is that so? It turns out to be a misunderstanding. I apologize for my rudeness." Yun Youmu narrowed his eyes again and revealed a harmless smile.
All of a sudden, he drew a dark green sword from his waist and slashed at Fang Si and King Jin with lightning speed.
The sword that he slashed at King Jin directly turned him into a pile of meat paste. Even his primordial spirit died before it could escape.
As for the sword that he slashed at Fang Si, it chopped off his left arm.
"Sixth Prince, what do you mean by this?" Ning Fan asked expressionlessly.
"Marquis White Robe is the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace while Fang Si is just the vice palace lord of the Serene Heaven Palace. Today, Fang Si attacked Marquis White Robe and it can be considered as an offense against his superior. Therefore, I decided to punish him a little as a form of compensation to Marquis White Robe. I hope that Marquis White Robe won't hold a grudge against me just because of Fang Si's small mistake … "Yun Youmu seemed to always be smiling with his eyes squinted.
"Of course, I can also give you other forms of compensation. As long as Marquis White Robe requests it and I can do it, I will never refuse!" Ning Fan remained silent.
He stared at Yun Youmu as if he wanted to see through his true intentions.
This person's actions were completely random. No one could figure out what he was thinking.
Just as Ning Fan was pondering about Yun Youmu's intentions, Luo You who was in the Profound Yin World fell into deep shock after seeing the painting.
"The Immemorial Fisherman's Mino Painting! There's no mistaking it. The painting that Yun Youmu is holding is an imitation of the Immemorial Fisherman's Mino Painting! The Immemorial Fisherman's Mino Painting … It's one of the four ancient paintings that are rumored to contain the 'Dao Path of Life and Death'! "
