From the strike that Ning Fan possessed in his Stele of Sun and Moon, King Dong Long felt a sense of certain death!
"This young man has a Void Fragmentation Realm attack with him. It is certainly unwise to make him my enemy!"
"Despite having such a strong trump card, he only decided to chase me away but did not try to face me directly. I can assume that displaying that Void Fragmentation Realm attack will take a great toll on him... Perhaps he just has a single attack and he does not want to waste it on me..."
"No matter what, this man has such a frightening trump card with him. I must never offend him just because of Ying Long..."
"I heard that someone had seen that this young man also possesses a strange golden bell that can nullify void power. It’s because of that bell that I decided to descend to this floor... I really want to obtain that bell but if I push that young man into displaying that Void Fragmentation Realm attack because of that bell, the losses I will suffer would outweigh my gains..."
"Fine. It’s better for me not to mess with him!"
Countless thoughts ran across King Dong Long’s mind. In the end, he clenched his teeth with a complicated expression and left after grudgingly cupping his fists at Ning Fan.
He really did not dare to fight Ning Fan!
That scene had startled countless experts.
King Dong Long arrived with a vigorous aura force. However, after being humiliated by Ning Fan who had killed his subordinate right before his eyes, he decided to reluctantly leave. Why did that happen?
Of course, none of them noticed that Ning Fan had secretly released a trace of the aura force of his Stele of Sun and Moon and scared King Dong Long away.
Looking at King Dong Long’s figure that was getting smaller in the distance, the eyes of the golden-armored giant flashed with a hint of cold light and shook his head at the next moment.
If he had really used the stored attack in his Stele of Sun and Moon, he had the confidence to put King Dong Long down. However, there was still a probability that his effort might be for nothing.
He had spent a great deal of effort to fully replenish the soul of the Stele of Sun and Moon. If this Void Fragmentation Realm attack was used on King Dong Long without being able to kill him, it would be too wasteful.
Since he did not have 100% assurance of killing King Dong Long, he just scared him away without really confronting him. If he faces him, he has to really finish him off with a single blow. Otherwise, he would only be bringing a great enemy to himself.
Ning Fan had already reached his limits this time by killing all the way to the twenty-fourth floor. If he wishes to go to the higher floors, he would face Void Pierce Stage or even Absolute Void Stage enemies. Ning Fan was aware that even if he goes into the demonized state, he would definitely be unable to resist those old monsters.
After devouring King Ying Long’s flesh and primordial spirit and storing his primordial lightning, Ning Fan picked up a piece of dark golden bamboo leaf. His eyes were filled with thoughts.
He had already gathered 24 dark golden bamboo leaves in total. They were more than enough to accomplish the mission Hong Yi had given to him.
"It’s time to leave. The treatment of Yue’er injuries can’t be delayed anymore... Besides, there’s still Little You’er who also needs to be treated..."
After dismissing his demonized state, he suddenly felt that his body was deprived of strength. Immediately, he took a few pills to recover his strength and magic power.
With the protection of the lightning armor which was at the third level of the golden grade, he did not suffer any injuries. However, the consumption of his strength and magic power was rather heavy. Demonizing his primordial spirit was too burdensome on his body.
He still needed to devour at least ninety thousand traces of primordial lightning for his lightning armor to break through to the fourth level of the golden grade. He did not have time to continue climbing to higher floors to kill and gather more primordial lightning. The only option he had right now was to temporarily give up on improving his lightning armor.
Ning Fan’s cold eyes scanned across the surroundings, giving a warning to the experts who were secretly watching this battle. Then, he walked towards Lei Shiyi and the others.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Zhou. You have successfully killed Ying Long with your own hands. Fellow Daoist’s name has probably shocked everyone on the one hundred floors of this lightning power after gaining victory in today’s battle."
"Indeed. Unexpectedly, not only could Fellow Daoist kill Ying Long, you also managed to scare off King Dong Long. Evidently, Fellow Daoist still has an extremely powerful trump card..."
The atmosphere was filled with commotion. The words he heard were either a compliment, a probing question or words with a hidden meaning.
The only similarity was that the eyes of all the experts who looked at him were filled with respect and admiration, including Mo Lei and Tai Yue.
Only Lei Shiyi still maintained a despicable expression. He rubbed his hands and gave Ning Fan a wretched smile.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, are you leaving now?"
"Yes."
"Er... As the saying goes, great wits have short memories. Fellow Daoist, think carefully. Is there something you should do before leaving but you have yet to do it...?" Lei Shiyi blinked, like he was trying to remind Ning Fan that he had promised to give him all of the lightning jades.
"As far as I know, I haven’t forgotten anything."
Ning Fan deliberately gave him a blank expression. As soon as he spoke these words, Lei Shiyi was dazed as if he had just swallowed a bunch of flies.
It’s over... It’s really over... Could it be that this Zhou Ming has completely forgotten his promise?
While he was scratching his head, trying to think of how to euphemistically remind Ning Fan about the lightning jades, the latter had already handed over a pouch full of lightning jades to him and walked away with a smile.
"Don’t worry. I don’t have the habit of breaking promises."
Ning Fan walked towards Mo Lei and Tai Yue and cupped his fists towards them.
"Thank you for your help today. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will surely repay this favor."
"Hehe... We didn’t help much actually. It’s Fellow Daoist who had the strong capabilities to successfully eliminate Ying Long..." Tai Yue and Mo Lei made bitter smiles. They did not have a trace of arrogance natural to lightning lords. Other than helping Ning Fan capture two Void Inquiry Stage experts, they did not seem to have done anything else.
"I still have some urgent matters to handle. Thus, I have to leave now. If we are destined to meet in the future, our paths shall cross again! Farewell!"
Ning Fan’s eyes swept across the experts around him and slightly cupped his fists. Then, he summoned the Heaven Deceiving Cloak and disappeared without leaving a trace.
As for the unusual smell of the Fire Scale Ash, Ning Fan had already eliminated it with his golden purple mist. He just did not want to erase it before this. After all, what can’t be erased under the power of Samsara?
"He has left. He doesn’t have the intention to dominate the twenty-four floors at all. Apparently, he is indeed a living person as expected. Did he come to the Black Lightning Tower just to train himself, just like Lightning Emperor Bu Zhou?" Mo Lei let out a faint sigh.
"He will probably return. When that time comes, he will probably be even stronger than before. During that time, I will be more than willing to have a fight with him again. However, I’m afraid that I will no longer be his opponent anymore." Tai Yue’s eyes shone with battle intent. He was looking forward to Ning Fan’s arrival in the future.
After receiving the pouch, Lei Shiyi did not check how many lightning jades there were inside the pouch. Instead, he just stared at the direction where Ning Fan had left. All of a sudden, his expression turned serious. Using telepathy, he said.
"The mountains are high and the rivers are long. See you again in the future!"
Under the concealment of the Heaven Deceiving Cloak, Ning Fan avoided many troubles and went past every floor swiftly.
Without any battles, it was naturally quick for him to leave this place. In just a single day, he had already gone out of the lightning tower.
The trip to the lightning tower was just like a dream. By chance, he obtained the Immortal Emperor’s Finger Bone, eliminated the hidden danger of the devil marks and even improved his lightning armor. Even though his cultivation base did not improve, his combat power had increased by a great deal.
However, after examining himself internally, his expression became a little dejected seeing the inerasable black devil qi on his primordial spirit.
