Ning Fan held Emperor Xia's Sword in his hand. After giving the order, he slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, there was actually an extremely thin golden line swimming in each of his eyes!
If it was magnified countless times, one would be able to see clearly that the two golden lines swimming in Ning Fan's eyes were actually two extremely tiny golden swords!
It was the remnants of the sword will left behind by the previous owner of Emperor Xia's sword!
It was Ning Fan's first time holding the sword, but he was still unable to feel the sword intent.
However, when he held the sword for the second time, Ning Fan had already gradually achieved the state where his body and sword became one and caused the remaining sword intent in the sword to go on a rampage.
There was only a small amount of this sword intent but the sword might it contained seemed to be much stronger than the Immortal Trapping Sword Intent that Ning Fan had comprehended!
At the moment he merged with the sword intent, his Sea of Consciousness actually felt like it was on the verge of collapsing. It was being corroded by traces of golden sword intent!
One should know that Ning Fan's Sea of Consciousness was the Sword Consciousness. It was formed through the Immortal Execution Order. Moreover, it had devoured the broken Immortal Slaughtering Sword and contained the Immortal Trapping Sword Intent. Moreover, it was reinforced by Teng Xianrou's Sword Consciousness.
His sword will vaguely contained the power of three of the Four Heaven Suppressing Swords, but before the sword will of Emperor Xia's Sword, his sword will, sword will, and sword will were not worth mentioning at all. It was difficult to resist the erosion of the golden sword will!
"What kind of sword intent did the previous owner of this sword cultivate? How could the sword power be so domineering? It's much stronger than the sword power of the four Heaven-suppressing Swords, such as Celestial Slaying, Celestial Slaying, Celestial Trapping, and Celestial Ending!"
"This sword intent is very strong. It also gives me a very familiar feeling … So that's how it is. When I first saw this sword, the reason why I felt a sense of familiarity was because I felt a sense of familiarity with this sword intent … The feeling this sword intent gives me is very similar to the Sword Qi of the scabbard I got from the Godly Void Pavilion's auction, but it's somewhat different …"
The sword sheath that Ning Fan mentioned was something he obtained from the Godly Void Pavilion's auction in the past. It contained a trace of the Sword Ancestor's sword qi.
Relying on this eternal sword qi, Ning Fans insignificant Harmonious Spirit cultivation was able to block Moksha Emperor's attack.
The feeling that the sword intent of Emperor Xia's Sword gave him was very similar to the sword intent of the Sword Ancestor. However, if one were to carefully analyze the two sword intents, the difference between them would be like the difference between heaven and earth. They were not exactly the same and their power could not be compared …
The sword will of Emperor Xia's Sword seemed to have been created by imitating the sword will of the Sword Ancestor …
"The previous master of Emperor Xia's Sword attempted to comprehend and imitate the Sword Will of the Sword Ancestor? The Sword Ancestor's sword intent is countless times more powerful than the four Heaven-suppressing Swords … "
Ning Fan put away all the distracting thoughts in his mind and immersed all of his attention into Emperor Xia's sword, gradually calming the violent sword intent within it.
He stepped on the sky and slowly advanced, approaching the Ancestral Bamboo Tree Demon step by step!
At this moment, Teng Xianrou and the five heavenly tribulation puppets had received Ning Fan's order. They were doing their best to fight the Tree Devil, creating an opportunity for Ning Fan to kill it.
The Tree Demon was a Life Puppet. His true will was unwilling to obey Wan Changkong, unwilling to destroy Bamboo Hall, unwilling to unseal Nie Li.
However, he was born and had no choice! His mission was to protect the Bamboo Hall, but since ten thousand years ago, he had killed many cultivators of the Bamboo Hall because of his' madness' … Every time he killed someone, his heart would be filled with grief!
This time, he had to obey Wan Changkong's order to destroy the Bamboo Palace that he had been guarding for a long time. He wasn't willing!
He wanted to die in the hands of Teng Xianrou and the other Void Fragmentation Realm experts. However, they did not have the strength to kill him …
His Ancestral Bamboo Body was just a shell. His tree spirit was his true body. However, Teng Xianrou and the others could not even break his shell, let alone harm the tree spirit in the bamboo …
He repelled the attacks of Teng Xianrou and the others again and again.
When he was almost in despair, Ning Fan took out Emperor Xia's sword!
The Tree Devil glanced at Ning Fan from the corner of his eyes. At this moment, Ning Fan gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
If one were to look carefully, they would realize that the feeling of danger did not come from Ning Fan himself. Instead, it came from the thin golden sword in his hand!
"If this sword gets close to my tree spirit, it can kill me with a single slash!"
"Kill me!"
"Kill Wan Changkong!"
"Save the Bamboo Hall!"
The Tree Devil's heart was filled with pleading. However, the gigantic Ancestral Bamboo Body stepped on the golden ground and rushed towards Ning Fan with immense killing intent.
"Void Technique, Void Embrace!"
A massive black hole suddenly appeared on the Tree Devil's gigantic bamboo body.
A boundless suction force was generated from the black hole. It sucked in Ning Fan's direction forcefully, sucking the entire sky where Ning Fan was standing into the tree!
This technique was an extremely powerful natal ability of the Ancestral Bamboo. The heart of the bamboo was hollow and it was cultivated into an absolute space for killing.
In the past, when the Ancestral Bamboo was guarding the Bamboo Hall, he would often use this technique to devour his enemies and refine them into the space inside his body.
However, this technique could only be used to kill low-grade cultivators. If a Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator is devoured into the space inside his body, his opponent might break through the space inside his body and attack the vital parts of the Ancestral Bamboo's body, killing him.
The reason why the Ancestral Bamboo used this technique to attack Ning Fan was not because he wanted to kill him. Instead, he wanted to lure Ning Fan into his body to give him a chance to attack the tree spirit in his body!
Since he could not disobey Wan Changkong's order, he had no choice but to attack Ning Fan.
He did not want to harm the Bamboo Hall. That was why he was willing to lure Ning Fan into his body and give him a chance to kill him.
After Ning Fan was devoured by the Ancestral Bamboo, he appeared in the space inside his body. His eyes were filled with thoughts.
Originally, he had a way to block this technique and not be devoured by the Ancestral Bamboo.
However, Ning Fan saw through the Ancestral Bamboo's true intention. He saw through the Ancestral Bamboo's desire for death. He realized that the Ancestral Bamboo actually wanted to lure him into his body and give him a chance to kill the tree spirit …
"Kill me! Kill me! Kill me!!! "
"If you kill me, I will let you devour me and help your Rain Intent rise to the First Grade!"
"If you kill me, I will let you devour me and help your physique improve greatly!"
Ning Fan stood in the space inside the bamboo. He seemed to be able to hear the Ancestral Bamboo's pleading.
This space seemed to contain a divine ability that could gradually melt the physical body and dissipate the primordial spirit of the cultivators who are devoured by it!
Inside this space, there were more than one hundred ferocious bamboo beasts. Each of them had a Void Glimpse Stage cultivation base!
In front of all the ferocious bamboo beasts stood a green-haired old man. He was the Ancestral Bamboo's tree spirit who had a Third Heavenly Layer Void Fragmentation Realm cultivation base!
"Kill!"
The green-haired old man stood with his hands clasped behind his back and gave a cold command.
At the next moment, all of the bamboo beasts turned into rays of light and charged at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan held Emperor Xia's Sword in his hand. His eyes were as calm as autumn water.
He could only use this sword once before his magic power would be depleted.
It would be difficult for him to kill the three tree spirits with just the power of a single sword strike!
However, now that the tree spirit had cooperated with him and was begging for death, his chances of success were extremely high.
"Since you want to die, I will grant you a grand burial!"
* Chi * * Chi * * Chi *
Ning Fan took a step forward and disappeared without a trace. At the next moment, he appeared at the center of the bamboo beasts that filled the sky. His eyes were gradually occupied by the sword intent of Emperor Xia's Sword, turning into a pure golden color!
His movements were extremely fast and his attacks were as fast as lightning. He only used Emperor Xia's Sword to kill his enemies without activating any sword light. Every time he swung his sword, a Void Glimpse Stage bamboo beast would definitely die!
In just seven breaths' time, Ning Fan had already killed all the Void Glimpse Stage bamboo beasts. He stepped on his Void Sea of Qi and stood in front of the green-haired old man from afar!
The green-haired old man's eyes were cold and bloodthirsty. Deep in his heart, he desired death.
His body was like a ghost. As soon as he took a step forward, he immediately vanished. Ning Fan's back immediately had goosebumps. He felt a great sense of danger.
Ning Fan knew that the green-haired old man was going to attack him from behind. His speed was terrifyingly fast.
Even though he was only at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm, his speed was even faster than some cultivators at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!
"Die!"
Before Ning Fan could dodge the attack, the green-haired old man had already appeared behind him and pointed a finger at him!
As soon as he pointed his finger, twelve golden bamboo swords immediately pierced through Ning Fan's back, penetrating through his body!
* Bang *
After being penetrated by the twelve bamboo swords, Ning Fan's physical body quickly disintegrated, turning into black shadows that dissipated.
When his body condensed again, his black robes were filled with bloodstains and blood was seeping out from the corner of his mouth.
He tried to avoid the attack of the green-haired old man by using the disintegration of his incarnation. Unfortunately, even if his incarnation turned into nothingness, it could not completely negate all the damage. In the end, he was still injured!
"As a Third Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm, this tree spirit is indeed very strong! Even if I activate the Void Ignition Technique to the fifth flap of the butterfly flame, I still can't hurt him! If this person didn't willingly lead me into his body, it would be very difficult for me to get close to him, let alone kill him … "
"I'm not a match for this person. Under normal circumstances, unless I attain the Void Fragmentation Realm, I have no chance of winning against him!"
"However, now that I'm holding Emperor Xia's sword, I have a feeling in my heart … There is nothing in this world that I can't cut! There is no enemy in this world that I can't eliminate! "
"All the gods and devils in the heavens are just ants. If I break my sword, there will be no martial arts in this world …"
Ning Fan's mind vaguely recalled the scene where the female Sword Ancestor killed all the gods and devils.
He no longer resisted the erosion of the golden sword intent and allowed it to invade his Sea of Consciousness.
Inside his sword consciousness, a layer of golden color began to appear. That golden color was all of the sword intent in Emperor Xia's sword.
This sword intent was too overbearing. As soon as it invaded Ning Fan's Sea of Consciousness, it immediately devoured all of the Immortal Trapping Sword Intent that he cultivated and used it to strengthen the golden sword intent!
One loss, one gain.
The entire ocean that had lost the Immortal Trapping Sword Intent obtained a spring of Emperor Xia's sword intent.
The quantity of the sword intent had decreased but its destructive power had greatly increased!
"Kill!"
A ray of green light flashed. The green-haired old man once again approached Ning Fan's back like a ghost and pointed at him.
Twelve bamboo sword lights slashed at Ning Fan's back. However, at this moment, Ning Fan neither dodged nor defended himself.
Without turning his head, he shouted coldly, "Get lost!"
As soon as he uttered that word, a trace of Emperor Xia's sword intent automatically protected his body. None of the twelve sword lights could reach Ning Fan. When they were three inches away from Ning Fan's back, all of them broke into two and were destroyed!
The sword broke only because of fear!
The sword broke only because of fear!
This Emperor Xia's sword intent was created by the Rogue Immortal sword cultivator who used to own this sword. It imitated the sword intent of the Sword Ancestor.
Even though this sword intent was far inferior to the Sword Ancestor's sword intent, it contained a trace of the Sword Ancestor's might!
What sword in this world dares to slash the Sword Ancestor?!
Perhaps a Void Fragmentation Realm sword cultivator who purely cultivated the sword could ignore this weak Sword Ancestor's might and injure Ning Fan with his sword.
However, the green-haired old man was not a pure sword cultivator. Sword techniques were not his forte. Don't even think about sneaking an attack on Ning Fan with this technique!
The green-haired old man's body flashed and he had already retreated ten thousand li * (500m per li) away.
Ning Fan turned around and looked at the green-haired old man from afar.
This green-haired old man willingly led him into his body and only used the abilities that he was not good at to fight him.
As for Ning Fan, he had the help of the five sword spirits to control the Emperor Xia's sword and even exchanged the Immortal Trapping Sword Intent for the Emperor Xia's sword intent.
If he still could not kill the tree spirit under such circumstances, he would certainly die in its hands. It was the will of Heaven!
"Kill!"
The green-haired old man took a step forward and his figure disappeared once again.
At the next moment, one hundred green-haired old men suddenly appeared in the vast sky around Ning Fan. It was actually him who split himself into one hundred!
All of the green-haired old men raised their hands at the same time and pointed at Ning Fan.
Countless sword lights from the bamboo swords slashed down but Ning Fan was not afraid at all.
The green-haired old man had purposely given in to Ning Fan. He only wanted to die so he purposely attacked Ning Fan with abilities that could not harm him!
Golden light flashed in Ning Fan's eyes. With just a glance, all the bamboo swords in the sky were destroyed!
At the same time, he raised his hand and held up the Emperor Xia's sword. He made a hand seal and the sword immediately split into one hundred golden sword lights, slashing at the green-haired old men!
In just an instant, the golden sword lights crossed an immeasurable distance and slashed at the bodies of the green-haired old men one after another.
Metal was the bane of wood. Moreover, this sword attack was the shadow clone of the Emperor Xia's sword. With just a single strike, the blood of the green-haired old men splattered across the vast sky. They were all killed by the sword shadows!
Ning Fan stood in the void. All of his magic power had been depleted.
Three zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away from him, the green light slowly condensed into the illusory figure of a green-haired old man. It was none other than the tree spirit who was on the verge of death.
"Kill … me …" The old man begged.
"As you wish!"
Ning Fan raised his hand and slashed the green-haired old man into two.
Dense baleful qi surrounded Ning Fan's body.
"Thank you …"
The green-haired old man's last words of gratitude slowly faded away. Eventually, it could no longer be heard.
In front of Ning Fan, a dark green fruit was slowly taking shape!
It was not a Dao Fruit but a fruit that was formed from the spiritual body of the tree spirit. As he was grateful to Ning Fan for sending him to his death, he turned the power of his spiritual body into a fruit before he died and gifted it to Ning Fan!
This fruit was extremely similar to the Tree God Fruit. However, the energy it contained was incomparable to the latter.
It was also not the Tree Ancestor Fruit … The energy contained in this fruit was equivalent to one thousand Tree Ancestor Fruits!
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with passion. If he devours this fruit, his Rain Intent Realm would break through to the next grade!
He flicked his sleeve and kept the fruit. Then, he raised his hand and slashed the void space, escaping from the body of the tree devil.
Looking at the gigantic body of the Ancestral Bamboo, his eyes were filled with passion again.
If he devours the entire Ancestral Bamboo, his Minor Five Elements Body would receive a great improvement!
"You … You actually killed a tree devil at the Third Destruction Realm all by yourself?!"
When Teng Xianrou saw Ning Fan break free, the withered Ancestral Bamboo and the fresh baleful qi on his body, she was incomparably shocked.
She had guessed that Ning Fan was extremely strong countless times but she had never thought that he had the strength to kill a tree devil at the Third Destruction Realm!
How could he be so strong?!
Could it be that his true cultivation base is not at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm but the Fourth or Fifth Heavenly Layer?
