In her heart, she felt terribly insulted as she needed the aid from her demon guards when she was only fighting against a mere Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator. However, it was her own carelessness that caused her to be sealed in his lightning barrier. To break away from the barrier, she needed some time and she could not afford to be sneak-attacked by Ning Fan.
Hundreds of demons were killed by Ning Fan’s sword sense and only ten demons who were at Intermediate Gold Core Realm and above were still alive. These demons were filled with fear of Ning Fan. They did not dare to involve themselves in the battle as demon guards, but they could not just leave Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng alone.
After the female demon roared out orders, they had no choice but to gather their courage and rushed towards her to shield her so that they could slow Ning Fan down for a while.
It’s enough for her to have a moment to break free from the barrier. Then she wouldn’t need to involve the demon guards anymore in her fight against Ning Fan.
However, these demon guards thought too highly of themselves.
Facing these demons, Ning Fan’s eyes turned icy. He used another technique but it was different from spirit sense!
A cracking sound could be heard from Ning Fan’s body as he threw out a punch. It was a Nascent Soul Realm body refining technique, Crushing Ice.
The vicinity of thousands of zhang of heaven and earth became frozen after the punch was thrown out. Under the impact of the punch, the ice started to break and crumble.
Judging from the crisp sound of breaking, the bodies of the Gold Core Realm demons were obliterated like how the ice shattered. Each of them died with a single blow! No matter how strong the demons’ bodies were, none of them could withstand this blow.
Currently, Ning Fan was much more nearer to the sea of lightning. This time, he would not show mercy anymore!
He wanted to capture her!
As for the female demon, she couldn’t imagine that Ning Fan possessed such powerful strength that was able to wipe a group of demons.
I don’t understand why he didn’t use it during the first battle. If he used it, I would definitely avoid fighting against him and escaped!
Are the previous battles only distractions so that I am engrossed in battle until I become careless of what’s happening? Is it because he wants to capture me and that’s why he showed his weakness in the first place?
Her expression changed for the first time. The Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator before her was far more powerful than what she had expected.
Now, she no longer had any assurance to win over Ning Fan. Even if she sacrificed herself, there would only be thirty percent chance of success. In fact, she was already hurt after being sealed by the lightning barrier.
I was too careless! I had underestimated his strength! It’s difficult for me to get the All-Heaven Relic today, unless I use my trump card.
However, she wasn’t willing to use it as the technique could only be used once.
Deep down inside her heart, she knew that she could not wait any longer even though the seal of the lightning barrier was not lifted yet.
She was only left with two choices and it was either to use her trump card or retreat for the moment.
"Fine, I will retreat today temporarily. In the near future, I will be back to kill him and take back the All-Heaven Relic!"
After she resolved herself to escape, she took out a few ancient demon talismans and stuck them on her chest, ignoring the lightning barrier. The next moment, a strong demonic qi billowed around her. Then, she forcefully broke through the barrier of lightning and escaped.
Unfortunately, the talismans were destroyed one by one immediately when they were hit by the lightning. When she got out the barrier, she suffered a heavy injury.
That was the price she had to pay for resisting the lightning forcefully. Originally, lightning was the heavenly tribulation that none of the cultivators were able to withstand. When facing the lightning from heaven, humans and demons could only carefully avoid them. As for the rumour which claimed that immortals could withstand lightning with their own bodies, it was only a fool’s tale. As a matter of fact, there were only a small number of fiendgods who could really withstand lightning using their strong bodies.
The moment she got out, she teleported as fast as she could to escape.
Suddenly, a punch struck her from the direction that she was going to teleport to. The area of a thousand zhang in that direction froze and was crushed after just a single breath!
"Crush!"
After Ning Fan’s cold voice resounded, the clear sky seemed to shatter under the sheer strength of his punch. The female demon was spitting out blood while falling down to the ground.
An extremely cold power which was difficult to expel seeped into her body after she got hit by that punch.
"Is this a bewitching technique?! How did he plant this technique on me?!"
Her demonic power began to slow down and became inactive. Gradually, she lost her power to teleport and even the strength to fly.
She tried to force the power out of her body but her efforts were futile.
"This is Yin Plucking Finger. From today onwards, you are no longer one of the twelve concubines of the Demon General. Instead, you are now my cauldron!"
Ning Fan’s voice resonated behind her. It was then that she felt her back being touched for tens of times.
A large amount of power from the Yin Plucking Finger permeated into her back. She felt her body becoming more feeble and even her scarred visage turned red.
"What kind of bewitching technique is this? And how do you know that I am one of the concubines of the Demon General?!" The female demon gritted her teeth and said angrily. She knew that she was already in Ning Fan’s grasp as she wasn’t even able to activate the rune on her glabella, not to mention resisting his attack.
She began to blame herself for her carelessness. From the beginning, I shouldn’t have let him get too close to me. If I had used the Demon General’s stored attack, I wouldn’t end up like this.
Ning Fan did not relax even though he had already sealed her demonic power.
He still remembered his experience from the past. That time, he had sealed off the Flower Demon’s power but the rune was still able to activate itself and summon the demon general’s shadow.
This time, he would not allow any chance for the shadow to condense.
He touched his glabella and the shadow of the Separation Slayer Sword flew out. When the blood light rose from the female demon’s glabella, Ning Fan pierced it multiple times. His action caused the rune on her glabella to bleed. After that, a man’s groaning could be heard from it. However, before the sound was completely condensed, it dissipated.
The female demon had lost the final means she possessed to resist Ning Fan.
"You! How dare you hurt Lord Li Ban! You deserve death!" A killing intent was shimmering from within her eyes.
"If you yell at me again, you will regret your action. Starting from today onwards, you will be my second Nascent Soul Realm cauldron. The first cauldron is the Flower Demon. And you will be the Wind Demon."
"What? The Flower Demon? Did you..." The female demon was in great shock. She was curious whether the Flower Demon was the one that she knew.
Ning Fan did not answer her doubts. He activated his bewitching technique within her body and made her lose her consciousness. After that, he kept her in his Cauldron Ring.
He used three moves to catch another female demon. If it was a male demon, he would have no choice but to struggle in battle without any assurance of winning.
At the land of Hexi, Hou Lian’s whole body was trembling. He acted as if he was struck by lightning.
Each of the Gold Core Realm cultivators which used to be very terrifying to him died before Ning Fan easily.
Apart from that, the notorious Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng was caught in just three moves.
