To Ning Fan, each technique that was used by Purple Yin was laughable. The red sand was scattered by Ning Fan’s palm with ease while the Gold Core Yin Pearl which power was comparable to that of a Supreme Grade Magical Treasure was engulfed by Ning Fan. His eyes turned cold and his hand grasp firmly!
The Gold Core was broken!
“Ah!”
Old monster Purple Yin shrieked as his Gold Core was crushed, causing his cultivation base to go down to late Gold Core realm. There were also signs indicating that his cultivation base would drop a realm lower.
He looked at Ning Fan with fear in his eyes. He had never expected that Ning Fan’s body would be so strong. It seemed to be much stronger than the Silver Bone Realm he had heard from the rumours.
Besides, why did the Consciousness Breaking Sand which specialized in crushing the cultivators’ sea of consciousness and was also known as a grain of gold have no effect on Ning Fan?
It was because of the fact that Purple Yin did not know that the Ning Fan standing in front of him at this moment, was White Ning, the white-clothed incarnation. How could it be crushed since the incarnation had no sea of consciousness? Even if Ning Fan’s sea of consciousness was here, with the strength of his sword consciousness, how could it be broken by the mere red sand.
As for the technique of fusing the Yin Pearl and the Gold Core, it was indeed mysterious as it was able to increase the strength of the Gold Core… However, Purple Yin had attended to trifles and neglected the essentials. The reason the ancestors of Extreme Yin Gate created such method to strengthen the Gold Core was actually not for the cultivators to use them as magical weapons, but to increase the Gold Core’s defense, preventing the other Gold Core experts from harming their Gold Cores during battles. Moreover, this method was for laying a strong foundation for the Gold Core experts during Nascent Formation. The stronger the Gold Core was, the better the chance of Nascent Formation!
This way of integration made Ning Fan’ eyes shine with interest. However, the way Purple Yin used the Gold Core as a magical weapon perhaps, was his biggest mistake in life.
The Gold Core shattered and Purple Yin spurted a mouthful of blood. He forcefully suppressed the drastic drop of his cultivation while retreating with all his might!
Run! I have to run! Definitely, I can’t catch Ning Fan today. In contrast, if I did not suppress the drop in my cultivation, it would fall to intermediate Gold Core realm or even lower!
Although Purple Yin wanted to escape, Ning Fan wouldn’t allow him to do so. Ning Fan transformed into an ice rainbow and flicked his sleeve, wielded a Peak Intermediate Grade whip, striking towards Purple Yin. A peak Intermediate Grade Magical Weapon should not be intimidating to Purple Yin, but all his focus had been put on stabilizing his cultivation base while driving the Immortal Cloud to escape as fast as he could. He had no idea that his actions would receive a sneak attack from Ning Fan. When Ning Fan whipped him, he lost control of his magical force and his cultivation base started to fall once more. Although he was not seriously injured, his breath was already in a state of a mess.
“Ning Fan! Don’t you go too far!” Purple Yin roared with rage.
“So what if I bully you?” His sight turned cold and landed a second whip on Purple Yin, literally pulling Purple Yin down from the Immortal Cloud.
The star between Ning Fan’s eyebrow appeared and he raised his palm, stepping onto the ice rainbow. He had prepared to strike a killing blow on Purple Yin. Falling from the sky, Purple Yin, whose magical force was in chaos, revealed fear and obscurity.
He had visited Ning City once in the past. During that visit, he had met the fake Black Devil and also Ning Fan. He did not pay close attention to Ning Fan who was just merely a Harmonious Spirit cultivator back then. He thought Ning Fan was not someone of importance.
In contrast, today, in Ning City , he had experienced Ning Fan’s complete power! He was unable to resist Ning Fan’s power. Even if he had been extremely careful, their battle would still be a deadlock. However, he was careless and his Gold Core was crushed. With his current state, there was no chance of him winning. He would lose or even worse, he would die.
“Ning Fan, you must not push me too far. If you do, I am going to self-destruct and we will both perish together. If you let me go, I am willing to share all of Extreme Yin Gate with you!”
The eyes of Purple Yin revealed insanity. His beautiful dream of ruling over Yue Country was broken to pieces. The current Purple Yin wanted nothing more than to protect his life.
All these moves happened as quick as lightning. The elders who originally followed Purple Yin’s footstep to bath Ning City with its own people’s blood were shocked by the instant defeat of Purple Yin. What was out of their expectation was that Purple Yin begged Ning Fan with a tone that was between threatening and begging.
Each of the elders were rooted to where they were as if their legs were fixed by nails. They stopped their movements in the air, fearing to attack Ning City.
On the other hand, all the cultivators who were observing the battle were dumbfounded after witnessing Ning Fan—who seemed to be very feeble—breaking the wind claw, crushing the Gold Core and defeating Purple Yin. Before these, none of them could think that Purple Yin, who was able to transcend numerous cultivators in Yue Country, would be driven desperate and helpless by a newly promoted Revered Ning of Sinister Sparrow Sect.
Perhaps after today, Ning Fan’ status would rise to ancestor level, or even higher!
Old Monster Purple Yin had tried begging for mercy and even threatened along the way. However, his actions only resulted in a hint of ridicule in Ning Fan’s eyes.
How could Ning Fan spare Purple Yin? As the saying goes, ‘To nurture a tiger invites calamity.’
Almost at the same moment, flames were appearing from the fire vein below Ning City. All the experts flew out one by one from the fire vein. Each of their breath was terrifying!
A loud and vicious voice rang in the sky. “Little friend, let me handle Purple Yin’s life!”
“Sure!” After perceiving the familiar and vibrant breath, Ning Fan’s eyes became relaxed, keeping his wind of palm then flashing away. It did not matter to Ning Fan who killed Purple Yin as long as Purple Yin died. Plus, allowing that man to kill Purple Yin was one of Ning Fan’s promise, wasn’t it?
The group of experts who appeared suddenly had two men in charge. They were, inevitably, Gui Qiaozi and Ancestor Jing Zhuo. The one who shouted just now was, undoubtedly, Jing Zhuo! Once they appeared, Gui Qiaozi immediately led a group of Gold Core experts to surround the elders of Extreme Yin Gate. On the other side, Ancestor Jing Zhuo’s eyes were filled with killing intent. The regret of his entire life transformed into a palm of lightning, carrying a tyrannical qi which was comparable to a Nascent Soul expert’s palm attack. Then, he landed it on Purple Yin’s back. At that instant, thunder clapped and it went through Purple Yin’s heart.
Thunder Palm! This particular palm contained Jing Zhuo’s killing intent which had been with him for a couple hundreds of years.
“Purple Yin, the chance that I have today to kill you had been long awaited by me…. Too long! You, die!”
The strike of the lightning palm crushed Old Monster Purple Yin’s body. A trace of his spirit was struggling within the lightning but Jing Zhuo did not have the intention of letting the soul enter Samsara.
Purple Yin’s spirit discovered Jing Zhuo’s cultivation base with disbelief. He couldn’t see through it! If he was not seriously injured by Ning Fan, he perhaps would not die after being struck by Jing Zhuo’s palm. But even so, he was mostly not a match for Jing Zhuo.
“You broke through…” Purple Yin asked with doubts. However, there was not enough time for him to complete his question. When the lightning light intensified, his soul was destroyed!
A pitiful yell resounded in the sky!
This yell was like a pot of cold water, splashing onto the heart of all the cultivators who were watching the battle. They glanced at Ning Fan, then at Jing Zhuo. They were all afraid of the both of them.
The brutality of Ancestor Jing Zhuo was still not over.
The other elders of Extreme Yin Gate were besieged by the experts of Sinister Sparrow Sect and Fire Cloud Sect
Revered Black Yan Bai, former Revered White Bai Feiteng, Fire Cloud Sect’s Bu Kuangfen… Each of these famous Gold Core old monsters was enough to take away a few Harmonious Spirit experts’ lives every time they used their magical weapon. After a few breaths, the Harmonious Spirit experts of Extreme Yin Gate were almost annihilated.
After killing Purple Yin, the hatred in Jing Zhuo’s eyes did not recede. With a flash of light, he caught up with the other Gold Core experts. With his own strength, he stopped 8 Gold Core experts of Extreme Yin Gate from escaping. He waved his palm and summoned a fiery red short dagger. Under his Nascent Soul’s magical power, the dagger transformed into countless fiery light, encircling them within.
Other than the five experts including old monster Ji Mo who paid a huge price by using their life-saving means managed to escape the fiery light with serious injury, the remaining three Gold Core experts were burned to ashes in a blink.
Everyone who paid close attention to this battle trembled in fear. Those who were below Gold Core realm could not withstand Jing Zhuo’s qi while those who were above Gold Core realm looked appalled. They could feel the qi of a Nascent Soul from Jing Zhuo!
The feeling of astonishment crept up to their faces. After they exchanged glances with each other, they let out breaths of relief!
They were astonished about the sudden appearance of Sinister Sparrow Sect and Fire Cloud Sect which was too unexpected!
They were surprised to see both righteous and evil sects helping Ning City at the same time!
What surprised all of them the most was that Old Ancestor Jing Zhuo seemed to have successfully become a Nascent Soul cultivator!
“Jing Zhuo had actually…completed his Nascent Soul Formation! Nascent Soul, Nascent Soul…”
Five hundred li away, Bei Hongzi who was on his journey back was stunned too. He just stood there in disbelief.
There was no mistake. Jing Zhuo easily killed three Gold Core experts and seriously injured the other five experts. Other than Jing Zhuo breaking through to Nascent Soul realm, there was no other explanation!
Finally, a Nascent Soul realm cultivator was born in Yue country!
Would Fire Cloud Sect rule over Yue country? Would the sect replace Great Void Sect in becoming the number one sect of the righteous path?
Bei Hongzi was utterly confused, and he ridiculed himself. If Great Void Sect’s master, Zhong Xuanzi, knew about this, he would surely not feel good about it.
Also, things that could surprise him even more happened!
He originally thought that witnessing Ning Fan defeating Old Monster Purple Yin in just a few moves was already amazing enough.
Then, he thought, knowing Jing Zhuo who had broken through Nascent Soul realm was also shocking enough.
However, these events could never be compared to the upcoming event.
After the majestic Jing Zhuo killed Purple Yin and the three Gold Core experts from Extreme Yin Gate, he did not continue hunting down the others. In contrast, he trod on the sky, approaching Ning Fan. When he was at a distance of nine meters from Ning Fan, he did the unexpected. He knelt down to Ning Fan.
“There are no words to express my appreciation for your help! From now on, my life will depend on your will. Those cultivators who came to offend Ning City today are my arch enemies as well. Whether they are righteous or evil, all of them must die!”
An imposing Nascent Soul cultivator, who was going to dominate Yue country, actually knelt down before Ning Fan?!
Revered Ning of Sinister Sparrow who defeated Purple Yin with his palm made Jing Zhuo, a Nascent Soul cultivator, kneel down. Could this person really be a mere youth who hadn’t reached his 20s?!
