Situ’s eyes became bright, but he did not give an opinion on Ning Fan’s words.

“Unfortunately…”

Ning Fan intentionally only spoke halfway before he suddenly withdrew his words and then turned around towards the Situ mansion’s exit.

Yuchi scratched his head. He was unable to understand Ning Fan’s actions nor why he suddenly left. However, Situ’s expression was moved and asked:

“Wait Young Lord, you didn’t finish. Unfortunately what?”

Situ had followed the old monster for forty years. These forty years, his sword dao increased as swiftly as the wind, from Early-stage Harmonious Spirit all the way to Intermediate-stage Harmonious Spirit. However, he could not reach the Late stage no matter what; it was as if there was a strange blockade.

He set up the sword graves here for enlightenment, but he always felt that this place was lacking a certain something. Unfortunately, he could never come up with that something. Ning Fan’s words missed an intent, but they were said as if he knew what was missing.

However, Ning Fan only spoke the first half and then directly left as if he was giving Situ a choice. If he surrendered to Ning Fan and admitted his status as the young lord, Ning Fan would tell him the method to break through to the Late stage. But if he didn’t, then Ning Fan would leave and he would lose the chance!

Situ was unlike Yuchi. He was not stupid and had great vision. His requirement for the young lord of Seven Apricot City was not cultivation and power, but intelligence and scheming.

Ning Fan’s unfinished phrase and sudden turn showed his intelligence. He didn’t resemble an ignorant young cultivator in anyway. This satisfied Situ’s demand towards Ning Fan, and he also became curious about what kind of experience would make a sixteen years old have such astute shrewdness and scheming skills.

Truly an interesting Young Lord! He was worth following!

Understanding this, Situ no longer questioned it and opened his mouth to call for Ning Fan.

His call for Ning Fan to stop was, in reality, a sign of submission towards Ning Fan. Ning Fan smiled and turned around; he was very satisfied with Situ’s action.

Only the honest Yuchi touched his head, not knowing the hidden intentions between Ning Fan and Situ.

“Could Young Lord clear up this subordinate’s doubts?” Seeing Ning Fan coming back, Situ looked at him and clasped his fists respectfully, and he also referred to himself as a subordinate. This was clearly a sign of his submissiveness towards Ning Fan.

Seeing that he successfully convinced Situ, Ning Fan did not overtly take advantage of the situation. He also did not explain the ineptness of the graves, but rather, he slowly raised his hand and revealed a black flame on his fingertip.

With his Immortal Emperor’s memories, even though his cultivation was not high, seeing the flaws in Situ’s cultivation was not a difficult matter.

Many things couldn’t be done with just words, and it was better for Situ to personally perceive the bottleneck of the Late Harmonious Spirit realm.

“Flame as a sword!”

Ning Fan suddenly shook his fingertip, and the black flame turned into a black sword and broke through the air, flying towards Situ!

Ning Fan had used the Black Flame with only his own power to immediately wound Yuchi. After obtaining the Black Fire Ring, the power of his flames increased by thirty percent. Then, Ning Fan was fortunate and obtained the Fire Transformation Sword technique, causing the black flame sword to become even more terrifying!

The power of an Early-stage Harmonious Spirit realm cultivator wouldn’t be able to see how Ning Fan unleashed this sword. Even an Intermediate Harmonious Spirit, like Situ, was barely able to see the faint shadow of the sword approaching the destination!

Strong! Very strong! If he didn’t block this sword, death was certain!

Situ pointed his big hands at the sword graves and clapped loudly. The swords in the graves powerfully shook and 105 flying swords suddenly flew out. Shadow after shadow of swords thrust out and fought against Ning Fan’s fire sword as one!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The powerful battle caused waves and the flying swords shattered one by one. This, in turn, jarred Situ and caused him to continuously retreat in startling fear.

In only a brief moment, his 105 flying swords were all shattered by this one sword! This fire sword’s power did not even diminish and continued to aim towards him as it rushed forward!

Unstoppable!

Death was certain!

Although Situ thought that he would die, Ning Fan simply waved his sleeve and dissipated the fire sword.

Ning Fan’s forehead was dripping with tiny sweatdrops. With his fifth level Vein Opening cultivation, using the fire sword was a bit too forced, but the power was good!

Situ’s cultivation approaching the Late-stage Harmonious Spirit realm couldn’t block this one sword. This technique was enough to be Ning Fan’s secret card!

“Phew! Such a powerful technique! I didn’t think the young lord had such an ace card! If he used this technique that day, how could I block it?” To the side, Yuchi was stunned at Ning Fan’s actions and he became even more respectful.

Situ looked at the broken swords with a complex expression while his respect for Ning Fan also rose.

“With just this sword technique, Young Master has the qualification to lead Seven Apricot City!”

With this one sword technique, Situ also faintly felt a critical point. If he could understand this, it would not be long before he could break through to the Late-stage Harmonious Spirit realm!

“Young Lord’s sword technique is godly, this subordinate is convinced!” This time, Situ was utterly convinced by Ning Fan with both his words and heart.
