He wanted to think over this matter in a more thorough manner. Xu Rushan might be humble when he was begging him, but he could not imagine what would happen if he failed to fulfill his promise. He was afraid that Xu Rushan might go mad and vent out his anger on him.
200 Fake Wild Beasts... Even though it is reduced to only 10 of them, it’s still not a trivial task.
Although those Fake Wild Beasts were not exactly comparable to genuine ones were not difficult to kill if Ning Fan approaches them one by one, but who knows whether the beasts moved alone or stayed in groups...
Perhaps he might find beasts which were left out by their groups, but there was still a possibility that he would have to face groups of beasts if he really wants to kill 200 of them. Just by thinking of the scene where he had to fight against a group of beasts with each of them having power comparable to a Divine Transformation Realm expert was enough to make his scalp go numb.
It would be much easier if I can bring in Stone Warrior and the female corpse... Unfortunately, no Divine Transformation Realm experts are allowed to enter... It seems I can only rely on myself.
So, should I promise him or reject it?
If I reject his offer, I am going to miss the opportunity to obtain more than 200 drops of the Profound Liquid of Mother Earth.
200 drops of that liquid is equivalent to 2000 units of magic power. If I complete this task, I would have finished one fifth of the journey in attaining Divine Transformation Realm.
As for the favor that Xu Rushan’s owe him... Truth to be told, Ning Fan did not really feel anything precious about having an Early Divine Transformation expert owe him a favor.
While Ning Fan was deep in contemplation, the female corpse was quietly holding the corner of his sleeve. But Xu Rushan was extremely nervous.
It would be a dream come true if I can enter the Secret Realm. Killing the Fake Wild Beasts is a piece of cake. Unfortunately, Divine Transformation Realm experts like me are forbidden to enter...
It was so rare to have a "monster" like Ning Fan that had heaven-defying combat power in the Endless Sea after thousands of years. Other than him, Xu Rushan had no confidence in anyone else...
Xu Rushan was one of the top thirteen Divine Transformation Realm experts in the External Endless Sea. However, Venerated Giant could eradicate an outstanding being like him by just moving a single finger.
"Junior needs to understand the habits, power and techniques of the Fake Wild Beasts. Only then could I assure you whether I have the capability of killing 200 Fake Wild Beasts. But before that, I intend to read Senior Xu’s jade slip. Of course, after I have read it, I can’t guarantee that I will promise to help you. Therefore, it’s Senior Xu’s decision whether to let me see the jade slip."
Xu Rushan’s face abnormally twitched.
This Zhou Ming is truly not simple.
However, if he placed himself in Ning Fan’s shoes, he would be even more cautious and contemplative than the latter.
"Take it. Remember, never leak any of the content within the jade slip. Otherwise, this old man will hunt you down to the most remote corners of the globe, even if you are already a Divine Transformation Realm expert."
"Don’t worry Senior. My mouth is very reliable...Hmm... The spirit sense within is tremendous..."
When Ning Fan pressed the jade slip against his forehead, his eyes turned clear.
The moment he spread his spirit sense to study the jade slip, a vigorous spirit sense with unparalleled power gushed towards him.
There was a domineering black Divine Intent within this spirit sense. It was ferocious and strong. When it appeared, Ning Fan’s Nascent Soul almost shattered. He felt that his spirit became weak as if his heart was suppressed by Mount Tai.
He retreated a few steps and the blood and qi on his chest were in chaos. However, not even retreating could relieve him from the effects of the vigorous Divine Intent. Without hesitation, the Divine Intent of Rain flashed in his eyes. In just a blink of an eye, the black snow stopped and light rain fell from the sky within a vicinity of a thousand li*. Ning Fan regained his balance.
The Divine Intent of Rain?
Xu Rushan narrowed his eyes.
At the eighth step, Ning Fan used the Divine Intent of Rain to ward off the domineering Divine Intent within the spirit sense.
Xu Rushan could not imagine that Ning Fan who had yet to attain Divine Transformation Realm had congealed his own Divine Intent.
Besides, he only retreated for eight steps when he faced the mighty Divine Intent of Venerated Giant. During the first time Xu Rushan touched the jade slip, he was frightened by the fierce Divine Intent of Venerated Giant and retreated seven steps. That time, he had actually applied his spirit sense to defend himself before touching the jade slip.
This person really is unfathomable... If he spread his spirit sense before he touched the jade slip, I suppose he would not have to retreat for more than three steps.
In the past, Xu Rushan would have wanted to dissect Ning Fan and find out the secrets of the latter’s power.
Currently, however, he earnestly hoped that it was better the stronger Ning Fan was. If the latter was strong, the task would most likely be completed without fail.
He stood aside silently while waiting for Ning Fan to read the jade slip.
As for Ning Fan, he knitted his brows as his mind got into the jade slip.
The expert who imprinted the jade slip was the person with the domineering Divine Intent. He was Giant Qing, the Venerated Giant of the Giant Devil Sect.
The first sentence Ning Fan heard from the jade slip was a harsh remark.
"Little Shan, this old man gives you only half a year! Within this period, if you are unable to gather 200 Demon Pills to save my daughter, Little Xueyan, I will personally crush your head to pieces!"
Feng Xueyan. She was the daughter of Venerated Giant. She had an acute disease and Demon Pills were urgently needed to save her life.
Before her condition worsened this time, she would need at least 200 of those pills.
Venerated Giant had given an order to Xu Rushan. If Xu Rushan failed to execute the order, he would have to prepare to be decapitated...
