There were a total of six realm gates at the border of the Northern Forest Sea and the Eastern Forest Sea.
Outside the First Realm Gate, a pink sound transmitting sword light suddenly came to the side of a towering ancient tree.
With a flash of brilliance, the ancient tree turned into a Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator who had the appearance of a big-headed boy.
The big-headed boy was slightly surprised. He pointed at the flying sword and said to himself, "Teng Xianrou's voice transmission …"
After listening to the sound transmission, the big-headed boy sneered, "Teng Xianrou has taken advantage of him. That Lu Bei will definitely die after colliding with Teng Xianrou. There is no need to wait!"
Outside the Second Realm Gate, a treant covered in leaves also received a voice transmission flying sword.
"He fell into Teng Xian Rou's hands? Unfortunately, this great merit was picked up by Teng Xian Rou. "
At the fourth, fifth, and sixth realm gates, the six Origin Returning Great Void Realm cultivators all received the message flying swords.
They either had expressions of joy or regret. All of them turned into streaks of light and left the realm gate, not waiting any longer.
"There's no need to wait. Since Lu Bei has fallen into the hands of Palace Master Xian Rou, it's impossible for him to survive. He will definitely die in the Third Realm Gate. There's no need for us to wait in vain again … "
West Tree Sea, Vine King Hall!
A stern-looking middle-aged man clad in rattan armor sat on a throne with a pink voice transmission flying sword in his hand.
"Has that Lu Bei fallen into the hands of Xianrou …? Xianrou is the only female Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator under my command. Even though she is a woman, her abilities are not any weaker than a man's. Her sword techniques are especially powerful. She was bestowed the surname Teng by me …"
"With her around, Lu Bei will definitely die!"
...
The third realm gate, the realm gate of the Valley of Tang, on the realm path.
The corners of Ning Fan's mouth curled upwards and he stared at Teng Xianrou mockingly.
If the ones who ambushed him were other Void Fragmentation Realm experts or Void Pierce Stage experts at the Origin Returning Realm or Void Pierce Stage, Ning Fan would have a tough battle.
However, it just so happened that the person who came was a beautiful female sword cultivator, and she was purely here to die.
The mockery in Ning Fan's eyes was not concealed at all. When Teng Xianrou saw that expression, it immediately turned into a trace of anger.
What did she see?
She actually saw a trace of contempt in Ning Fan's eyes!
Ning Fan was just a Void Inquiry Stage junior. He actually looked down on her, a Void Fragmentation Realm sword cultivator. Wasn't he being too arrogant?!
That's right. If he wasn't an extremely arrogant person, how would he dare to kill the Vine Sovereign's disciple …?
However, when she thought about it, she thought to herself, Could Ning Fan be trying to provoke her on purpose?
Because he knew that he was no match for a Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator, he purposely infuriated her and tried to find a chance to escape while she was angry?
"Don't try to provoke me. That will only make your death worse!"
Teng Xianrou elegantly raised one of her hands and pointed her finger at Ning Fan. Her wood elemental demonic power spread out, turning into millions of green sword lights and slashed at Ning Fan.
This was just a casual attack from her, but it was enough to kill an ordinary Grand Virtual Realm expert.
She did not think that Ning Fan would be able to block her attack at all. Thus, she raised her neck proudly, waiting for Ning Fan to die under the million sword lights.
"Mo Mo."
Ning Fan looked at the sword light that was coming towards him. He did not try to dodge it. Instead, he just smiled and called out the name of a little girl.
Teng Xianrou was stunned. She did not know what kind of strange incantation Ning Fan was chanting.
In the next moment, an ancient sword will swept across the realm path, and the millions of sword lights that she had slashed out collapsed without warning!
Strong winds swept across the realm path, causing Ning Fan's black hair and white robes to flutter.
He still looked calm and composed, as if he had broken all of Teng Xianrou's sword lights without even making a move!
"Little Fanfan, don't be afraid. Second Sister will help you beat her up!" The arrogant voice of the second sword spirit came from the sword pouch. Of course, it was a telepathic message. Only Ning Fan could hear it.
Her ability specialized in breaking people's sword lights. Her opponent was just a First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm sword cultivator. There was no need for her to be afraid of him at all!
"How is this possible?!"
Teng Xianrou was completely stunned. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
If Ning Fan had used some kind of ability to break her sword technique, she would have accepted it. After all, it was just a sword light that she casually threw out. If Ning Fan uses all of his means, it would not be surprising for him to be able to block it.
However, Teng Xianrou believed her own eyes. She did not see wrongly. Ning Fan did not move from the beginning to the end. He just used his sword will to break her sword light!
Strange. This is really strange … A Void Inquiry Stage junior was able to break her sword light just by chanting a strange incantation without even moving his body.
Wait. A strange incantation?!
Teng Xianrou's beautiful eyes turned solemn. She seemed to have recalled something.
She was a rogue cultivator. Her innate talent in the Dao of Sword was astonishing. She had killed countless people in her life. With the sword in her hand, she gained the recognition of the Vine Sovereign and was appointed as the palace lord of the Purple Vine Palace.
She read a lot of books. She would read all the ancient books that were related to sword techniques.
She would even read the strange stories that mortals used to entertain themselves. As long as it was related to sword techniques, she would also read it.
Those strange stories were just idle books among idle books, and had nothing to do with cultivation.
However, Teng Xianrou firmly believed that any ordinary and simple things contained the most mysterious sword principles. Comprehending by analogy would instead help to improve one's Dao of Sword.
She had once flipped through a strange book written by a mortal. It mentioned a mysterious swordsmanship called the 'Sword of Speech'!
The so-called Sword of Speech was an immortal technique of an immortal that was conceived by a mortal scholar.
Immortals would use their words as swords and their words would be like swords that could slay all living beings!
Teng Xianrou originally did not believe that there was such a sword technique called Sword of Speech in this world. Now that she saw Ning Fan chanting a strange incantation and suddenly emitting a terrifying sword intent, she immediately had a guess.
"Humph! Junior! What you are using is the Sword of Speech Technique, isn't it? "
She thought that she had seen through Ning Fan's divine ability. However, she did not expect that her words would make Ning Fan dumbfounded.
"Sword of Speech … What is that?"
"Humph! You don't have to pretend anymore. I have already seen through all of your divine abilities. It's just a mere Sword of Speech. It's not worth mentioning at all. You use words as a sword. Let's see whether your Sword of Speech is faster or my Purple Vine Sword is faster!"
* Chi *
Teng Xianrou patted her sword pouch and a purple wooden sword that was made from purple vines appeared in her hand.
Wooden swords were not as sharp as metal swords. However, they were better than metal swords in other areas such as divine abilities and sword intent.
What Yun Tianjue was good at was a sharp sword technique that could destroy ten thousand enemies with a single sword.
As for Teng Xianrou, what she was good at was a sword technique that could transform all living things.
"Purple Vine Sword Formation, Divine Snake!"
Teng Xianrou performed a hand seal with her left hand and held the sword with her right hand. She pointed the tip of the sword at Ning Fan and her sword intent spread out like clouds.
All of a sudden, the passage of the world trembled violently and a gigantic purple sword diagram appeared.
Countless purple vines suddenly grew out of the passage beneath Ning Fan's feet. The vines coiled like snakes and the vines were as sharp as swords!
Countless purple vines intertwined with each other, forming a cage of purple vines that was several hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) around Ning Fan.
Those purple vines were unusually sharp. They were formed from the purest sword qi. Even a Great Void Stage cultivator would be injured upon coming into contact with them! A moment of carelessness could even cause one to directly die in the sword formation!
In the cage of purple vines, countless purple vines suddenly transformed into purple sword snakes!
In this narrow space where it was difficult to even turn one's body, Ning Fan had no way to dodge the attacks from the countless sword snakes.
Of course, he did not plan to dodge them either.
"Hua Hua."
He calmly called out the name of the fourth sword spirit. Inside the sword pouch, Hua Hua who was dressed in red robes immediately released her unique sword intent.
The sword intent that was filled with vicissitudes spread out. The countless sword snakes immediately trembled and collapsed!
The purple vines cage immediately withered. A moment later, it turned into ashes and dissipated.
As for the gigantic sword diagram beneath Ning Fan's feet, it shattered into countless fragments of the formation diagram under Hua Hua's sword intent …
"How is this possible?!"
Teng Xianrou's face was filled with astonishment. If her first attack was just a casual attack from Ning Fan and it was broken by his sword of words, she could still accept it.
However, during her second attack, even though she did not use her strongest trump card, she was definitely serious about it!
The advantage of this Purple Vines Sword Formation lay in the fact that it was extremely fast to form. Under unexpected circumstances, it could even kill a Great Void Stage cultivator in an instant!
Even a First Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator would inevitably suffer severe injuries if he is careless and gets trapped in the formation.
This Purple Vines Sword Formation had also been broken by a few Void Fragmentation Realm experts before. However, all of them had to leave the range of the sword diagram before the formation was formed.
No one was as relaxed as Ning Fan. He stood leisurely in the sword formation and used the most direct and forceful method to directly break the entire Purple Vines Sword Diagram!
What a powerful sword of words!
At this moment, Teng Xianrou paid unprecedented attention to Ning Fan. She almost regarded him as the strongest sword cultivator she has ever met in her life.
"Even though this young man is just a Void Inquiry Stage expert, his attainments in the sword of words have already reached perfection … I can only kill him by using my trump card!"
"Fortunately, I met this young man and I can see through his sword of words technique. Perhaps I still have a chance of winning. If it's someone else who doesn't know his sword of words technique, they would probably die without a burial place in just a single exchange …"
"Humph. This Lu Bei is really unlucky to have met me! Only I, a sword cultivator, have the chance to break his sword of words! "
The more Teng Xianrou thought about it, the worse her situation became. If Ning Fan could hear her inner thoughts, he would certainly not know whether to laugh or cry.
He did not use any ability at all nor did he use his sword of words technique.
He was just ordering the five swords to attack Teng Xianrou. That was all.
He just wanted Teng Xianrou to keep attacking until her demon power is almost depleted. Then, he would rush forward and use his bewitching technique to eliminate her.
The five sword spirits were bullying Teng Xianrou's identity as a sword cultivator while Ning Fan was bullying Teng Xianrou's identity as a woman.
If they fight face to face, Ning Fan was definitely not a match for a Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator. He could only rely on Luo You's strength to fight Teng Xianrou. However, he would certainly be severely injured after the battle. That was not worth it.
Obviously, it would be safer to borrow the strength of the five sword spirits.
"Lu Bei, I have to admit that you are very strong. There aren't many sword cultivators in the Tree World but you are a rare sword cultivator genius. You can even use the sword of words technique."
"To be honest, I actually feel a little reluctant to kill you. However, you have angered the Vine Sovereign. If I don't kill you, she will kill me … If you die, you don't have to hate me. If you want to hate someone, you should hate the Vine Sovereign!"
"This ancient sword is the strongest flying sword that the Vine Sovereign has given me. It was accidentally lost in the Tree World by a rogue immortal sword cultivator who was roaming the nine worlds hundreds of thousands of years ago. This sword is called 'Emperor Xia's Sword'. It is a Mid Grade Immortal Void Realm flying sword! Normally, only a Third Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator can use a flying sword of this level. Only a Third Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator can withstand a strike from this sword! Even if a cultivator at the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm is hit by this sword, he will either die or be severely injured! "
Teng Xianrou kept the Wisteria Sword and patted her sword pouch, taking out a thin golden sword in her hand.
The appearance of this flying sword was obviously different from ordinary flying swords. The blade of the sword was very narrow and the body of the sword was engraved with the mark of a dragon, giving off the majesty of a sovereign being.
Obviously, the rogue immortal who used this sword in the past must be a sovereign being.
Teng Xianrou looked at Ning Fan with a complicated expression. Then, she gritted her teeth and performed a hand seal with her fingers.
Her face gradually turned pale. Obviously, using the flying sword that was at a higher cultivation level than her had drained a lot of her demon power. Gradually, she began to feel weak.
In order to activate this sword, she had nearly used up ninety percent of her demon power!
As soon as this flying sword appears, even a cultivator at the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm would be in mortal danger!
"Lu Bei, don't be my enemy in your next life! Quick! "
As Teng Xianrou pointed her finger, the Emperor Xia's Sword turned into an incomparable golden sword light and shot towards Ning Fan.
The sword light of the flying sword was too fast. It was even faster than the speed of a Second Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator!
If Ning Fan relied on his own techniques, he would not be able to escape from it at all!
He took a deep look at Teng Xianrou. This lady was definitely an expert sword cultivator. Even in the Tree World where sword cultivators were rare, she could still cultivate to such a level.
If this lady was in the Sword World, she might have already become the Sword Sovereign of a generation.
Unfortunately, this talented sword cultivator had unfortunately bumped into Ning Fan.
Was it her misfortune or her fortune …?
"Tongtong."
As soon as Ning Fan muttered the name of the fifth sword spirit, the little stutterer Tongtong immediately released her sword intent which was filled with vicissitudes of life.
Under this sword intent, the golden flying sword which was initially unstoppable immediately trembled violently and fell from the sky!
Unfortunately, Tongtong did not manage to shatter this flying sword. It was probably because the grade of this flying sword was too high.
However, Tongtong's sword intent specialized in restraining flying swords. Even though she did not destroy the flying sword directly, she sealed it, preventing it from moving at all.
"H-How is this possible?!"
Teng Xianrou revealed a terrified expression for the first time.
She could not imagine that Emperor Xia's sword which could even injure a cultivator at the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm was actually blocked by Ning Fan's Sword Word Technique!
What a terrifying Sword Word Technique. It could even block Emperor Xia's sword. Doesn't this mean that Ning Fan could fight against a cultivator at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm with just his Sword Word Technique?!
"This young man is certainly not a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator. He must be an old monster at the Second Heavenly Layer or even the Third Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm who is hiding his cultivation base on purpose! Yes, that must be the case. If he isn't an old monster at the Second or Third Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm, who would dare to offend the Vine Sovereign?! "
"I'm not a match for him! This is bad. I must escape! "
Teng Xianrou gritted her teeth and wanted to escape. However, she realized that the realm gate which she came from had already been closed. She could not return to the Northern Tree Sea.
Her only way to escape was to pass through the realm gate and enter the Eastern Tree Sea.
However, the way to the Eastern Tree Sea was blocked by Ning Fan. If she wants to escape, she would still need to fight him!
Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly saw Ning Fan summoning a cloak and vanishing on the spot.
Teng Xianrou knew that Ning Fan must have concealed himself with the help of a spiritual equipment. However, this spiritual equipment was a Profound Divinity spiritual equipment. Even with her spirit sense, it would be difficult for her to detect Ning Fan's traces in a short period of time. She had no idea where he was hiding at all.
She forced herself to calm down. She did not even dare to pick up Emperor Xia's sword. All of a sudden, her body exploded into seventeen rays of sword light and flew towards the teleportation formation of the Eastern Tree Sea at the same time.
This technique was called 'Seventeen Broken Swords'. In essence, it was a type of incarnation technique.
When her broken body turned into seventeen rays of sword light, Teng Xianrou would not be harmed even if all the other sword lights were destroyed.
She split into seventeen rays of sword light to escape. As long as one of them was not destroyed, Teng Xianrou would not be harmed even if all the other sword lights were destroyed.
"Mo Mo, it's still you."
Ning Fan ordered the second sword spirit to attack again.
Mo Mo was extremely happy. It was already her second time attacking. It could be considered as her second contribution.
Jingjing and Shui Shui did not attack at all. After all, Teng Xianrou did not use her sword force and sword intent. She could not break them even if she wanted to.
Mo Mo proudly spread out her sword intent, covering the entire world passage.
At the same moment, the seventeen sword lights that Teng Xian Rou had transformed into shattered at the same time, turning back into the pink-clothed woman. She fell heavily on the world passage with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. Her injuries were not light.
"Not good!"
She had just fallen to the ground, so her demonic energy was in a mess and she couldn't circulate it at all.
At this time, Ning Fans invisibility suddenly appeared beside her. His left hand was using the Yin Plucking Finger while his right hand was using the Yin Imprisoning Rope. They struck her body at the same time.
In an instant, Teng Xian Rou's delicate body went limp, and she lost all of her beast power!
"This is … Charm Spell?!"
Teng Xianrou's face turned pale with fright. She did not expect that Ning Fan was not only proficient in the Sword Speech Technique but also the Bewitching Technique!
Wait, charm!
If Ning Fan is proficient in bewitching techniques, doesn't it mean that he is also proficient in the Plucking Technique?!
Doesn't this mean that after I capture her, she will become a Void Fragmentation Realm human cauldron full of primordial yin?!
"Lu Bei, I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands. Your Sword of Speech Art is divine. I've lost! Give me a quick death, kill me! "
"If I kill you, wouldn't I be wasting a human cauldron for nothing?"
Ning Fan's expression was indifferent. He continuously pointed his Yin Plucking Finger. With his current cultivation base, even a Void Fragmentation Realm female cultivator would not be able to withstand his Yin Plucking Finger.
Teng Xian Rou's vision turned blurry.
She was tricked by the five sword spirits …
"This lady is quite interesting …"
Ning Fan could not help but laugh. He did not expect to capture Teng Xian Rou so easily.
The five sword spirits could only blame themselves for being the nemesis of sword cultivators.
After setting up layers of restrictive spells on Teng Xian Rou's body, Ning Fan locked her up in the Cauldron World's Penance Palace.
The Penance Palace had been modified. The female cultivators who were locked up in the palace would fall into a coma for a long time.
With the level of the small chiliocosm in the Cauldron World, even a Void Fragmentation Realm female cultivator would end up in a coma after being locked up in the Penance Palace.
Since he had captured this lady, he would either keep her as a helper or pluck her completely. Either way, she would be useful to him.
After dealing with the lady, Ning Fan waved his hand and summoned Emperor Xia's Sword which had fallen to the ground into his hand. He caressed the dragon-shaped engravings on the body of the sword and a strange feeling rose in his heart …
He kept having the feeling that this Emperor Xia's Sword gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
However, he had no idea why it felt so familiar.
"It's a little strange. However, I have to say that this is a good sword … It can even severely injure a Second Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator. Unfortunately … I am far from being able to activate this sword …" Ning Fan sighed.
"Little Fanfan, if you don't want this flying sword, just give it to us. We don't have any flying swords that can accommodate the body of a sword spirit!" Jingjing suggested.
"Little Fanfan, I have already helped you twice. Why don't you give me some rewards?!" Mo Mo said coyly.
"Little Fanfan, I want this sword. I want it. I want it!" Shui Shui was acting cute.
"Little Fanfan, I will help you to comprehend the sword techniques in this sword. How about that?!" Hua Hua tried to make a profit.
"Want … Want … Want …" Tong Tong stuttered. She decided to only say the most crucial word.
"Oh? You guys want this Emperor Xia's Sword? "
Ning Fan's eyes suddenly moved. This sword was useless to him anyway. Let's just let the five sword spirits play with it.
If they can really create something useful, it would be worth looking forward to.
With a flash of travelling light, Ning Fan went straight to the other end of the passage.
Unbeknownst to him, the moment he captured Teng Xianrou, the Vine Sovereign could no longer use the vine seed to sense her whereabouts!
"Teng Xianrou has been captured. She has been captured by Lu Bei!"
The Vine Sovereign was enraged. Besides feeling furious, she also found it unbelievable.
She could not imagine how a mere Void Inquiry Stage junior could capture Teng Xianrou who was at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!
She suddenly felt that she had somewhat underestimated Ning Fan in the past.
"Tell Wan Changkong to come and see me!" The Vine Sovereign's eyes flashed with killing intent.
