Qing Lengshan and the other eight late Gold Core elders were all holding a green wooden plate. These plates were the key to control the grand formation. They immersed themselves into the grand formation via spirit sense. A very dangerous Qi along with a gruesome dragon’s roar rushed out of the grand formation. Then, a nine hundred-feet-large green skeletal dragons emerged!
All of the nine virtual dragons had a Gold Core realm Qi. The one controlled by Qing Lengshan exuded the Qi of a half-step Nascent Soul realm! They were formed by the force of the formation and spirit sense. It would be difficult to eliminate these dragon-like ‘things’.
The Nine Greens was a formation that consisted of eight Gold Core and one Nascent Soul. This was definitely regarded as Qing Lengshan’s pinnacle formation in his lifetime.
Now that the formation had been activated and the nine dragons had been summoned, Qing Lengshan’s expression turned into a cold smirk. “Zhou Ming, I will offer you a chance. If you cripple your cultivation base and hand over the devil spell that you used to kill hundreds of ghosts, I will show you mercy!”
Qing Lengshan not only wanted Ning Fan dead, he also wanted the spell that he used to kill those group of ghosts. The only thing that terrified him was the small sable, Mei Chen, in Ning Fan’s arms. That was, however just a feeling of fear. They outnumbered them and they had the nine-layered grand formation which was enough to gain their victory. So, what’s so scary about Mei Chen?!
But then, his threat were just deflected by Ning Fan’s sarcasm.
It was true that these late Gold Core ghosts would be highly regarded anywhere across Yue Country, but they were nothing in Ning Fan’s eyes. As for the nine-layered grand formation, although it looked mighty and imposing, it used spirit sense as the primary source of power. How could Ning Fan be afraid of it…?
He patted the small sable’s back. After knowing what Ning Fan wanted, she emitted the demonic Qi that rolled in the air like a gust of black wind. Under this demonic Qi, the cultivation base of Qing Lengshan and the late Gold Core experts began to fall crazily.
Except for Qing Lengshan who remained at the intermediate Gold Core realm due to his high cultivation base, the other elders’ cultivation base fell to the early Gold Core realm!
At this moment, Ning Fan gave out a yell. His spirit sense swept through them like swords. Cold sweats were trickling down their bodies.
“Break!”
After this word, the invisible sword sense thrust into their sea of consciousnessviolently. These nine Green Clan experts suffered different degrees of injury, but it wasn’t serious and none of them died.
Meanwhile, each of their green jade plate was crushed, and turned into a wisp of ghost Qi that smelled decayed.
“Oh? Not dead yet?”
Ning Fan was a little surprised. Besides Qing Lengshan, the other eight elders whose cultivation base had already dropped to early Gold Core realm should have died under his sword sense. Their survival was beyond his expectation.
His focus was fixed on the decayed smell and understood why they didn’t die under the slash of his sword sense.
“The Death Replacement Order!” His curiosity was aroused.
Including Qing Lengshan, none of them expected that Ning Fan would make such a quick strike. This single attack had broken all of the Death Replacement Order that they had prepared earlier.
The Death Replacement Order and the Immortal Execution Order were both obtained by the Great Elder by accident. The Immortal Execution Order was used to kill whereas the Death Replacement Order was used to protect one’s life. When one put a strand of spiritual force into the order, one would be able to withstand a single Nascent Soul realm attack.
Qing Lengshan still had two Immortal Execution Order. Initially, he had twelve Death Replacement Order, but nine of them had already been destroyed. Now there were only three left!
But he couldn’t care about that at the moment. There was only one thought that appeared in his mind – flee!
“Quickly enter the formation. We’ll use this formation to kill this kid!”
Hastily, the nine of them retreated into the misty air within the formation. Fear was still lingering on their faces.
Qing Lengshan looked down on Ning Fan before he attacked, but now, he was terrified.
“This kid is too heaven defying! If there is no Death Replacement Order, I would’ve been seriously injured and the eight of you would’ve surely died!”
Qing Lengshan was not the only one appalled, the rest of the elders who were currently staring at Ning Fan through the foggy air were also in fear. As for Qu Han, although she had already met Ning Fan twice before this, she was totally still shocked. The shock she experienced was greater than any of the elders. Her eyes were filed with complicated emotions.
When she first met Ning Fan, he told her that he was merely a Second Revolution Dan Master, even if she had some doubts about that, she still chose to ignore it because she didn’t put Ning Fan in her eyes.
The second time she met him, he was trying to rob the vault during the time of chaos, she saw how Ning Fan slashed open the defensive barrier of the grand formation and robbed all the herbs and items in the vault. At that time, she began to fear Ning Fan, realising that he had hidden a lot of things from her, but she still didn’t think that Ning Fan’s true strength could surpass hers.
However, this time, only a few days after the chaotic incident, Ning Fan gave her a dreadful feeling as if she had met her natural enemy.
Qu Han’s face turned pale. If it wasn’t for the Death Replacement Order, she would have already died. She wasn’t sure if she could live through Ning Fan’s next attack without the Death Replacement Order.
‘What should I do now…?’
‘Never leave the grand formation. We must hide inside of it. This kid’s magical art won’t be able to penetrate the formation. We will utilize the force of the grand formation to eliminate this person!’
The exact same thought emerged in their heads. They flicked the wooden plate in their hands to manipulate the formation force and the green dragon.
If they could reverse the time, they would not wish to offend Ning Fan again, but regrets would not change the fact that Ning Fan was going to kill them. The only way to change it was to struggle through the hardship.
The nine dragons sent gusts of wind, rain, lightning and fire just to attack a single person – Ning Fan.
“As long as I don’t get out of the grand formation, he can’t do anything to me… After all, this is a grand formation combined with eight Gold Core realm grand formations and one Nascent realm grand formation. It’s the greatest formation that I have ever used.”
Qing Lengshan’s eyes were filled with conceit. This grand formation alone was overpowering. He started to feel safe when he looked at the Nine Greens, but this sense of safety was seized away by Ning Fan the next moment.
A silver ray of light rushed through the heavy mist, just like how lightning penetrated through the dark clouds.
“Destroy!”
Ning Fan yelled coldly. He moved his palm. A silvery shiny Starlight Sword Shadow illuminated with a cold light, thrust past the misty air and went straight to the trunk of the nine dragons.
The nine skeletal dragons were formed by the force of the formation and spirit sense. They were illusory and non-existent. So, they couldn’t be harmed by sword Qi, even with the White Bone Mountain sword Qi.
“Gold Core ream sword Qi. You have really amazed me, but you certainly cannot hurt my formation dragons.”
Qing Lengshan grinned ferociously, but in the next moment, he was completely petrified.
After the flash of the sword light, the spiritual energy of the nine dragons started to burn. All nine of them let out miserable roars and began to dissipate!
“How is that possible?! What kind of divine power is that? How could it slash my virtual skeletal dragons?” Qing Lengshan’s palm was wet and cold, shivering from the spine.
The untouchable dragons were pulverised by Ning Fan with ease. To Qing Lengshan, this was more shocking than Ning Fan’s ability to instantly kill early Gold Core experts.
“Could it be that this kid’s sword is equipped with the Soul Burning ability? If this kid really has this ‘Void’ realm ability, I’m afraid that my grand formation won’t hold out for long!”
He panicked. The Nine Greens grand formation was purely built by the force of spirit sense, which was very vulnerable towards Soul Burning ability.
Not good. He lifted his head and saw a line of blood-red light sparkled from Ning Fan’s Separation Slayer. The void below his feet was filled with White Bone Qi that sent chills down their spines.
A blood-like sword Qi that looked like a blood-red light let out a wail like the cry of a ghost while tearing down the formation light of the Nine Greens.
