- Chapter 48 (2/2)
The incident of capturing Bing Ling and Yue Ling had only lasted for an exceptionally quick moment. The rest of them, who had poor foundation of magical power and ordinary psychology, weren’t able to react to it.
They were all frightened to death after seeing their leaders falling into Ning Fan’s hands. How could they possibly think about capturing him now? They quickly summoned immortal clouds to run for their lives.
Unfortunately, being Harmonious Spirit cultivators, they certainly could not outrun Ning Fan who travelled using the Icy Rainbow.
A smirk came from his mouth. He wouldn’t let these female devils return to their sect to report the incident to the old devil.
Icy lights flashed as he chased each female who had the skin as fair as moonlight. Each of them was paralyzed by his Yin Plucking Finger before they were kept into the Ring Cauldron.
Ning Fan only travelled a few miles from the original place to capture all fifteen of them.
Afterwards, he returned to the previous battlefield and kept the two magical weapons - the hairpin and flying blade. He smiled coldly while looking at the Cauldron Ring on his left wrist.
The seventeen females that tried to capture him just now were not capable enough to accomplish the task. Take the two Gold Core females for example, they were nothing compared to Yu Chi even if they had given all out.
In the cultivation of True Dao, magical power and cultivation grade weren’t everything. There were many cases where lower grade experts could defeat higher grade experts or seemingly weaker experts defeating powerful experts. The women that ambushed him were cauldrons nurtured in a favorableenvironment. Perhaps Old Devil Purple Yin had underestimated Ning Fan. However, the fact still remained that these seventeen cauldrons were certainly enough capture even a peak Harmonious Spirit warrior.
Besides, an ordinary peak-Harmonious Spirit warrior would continue moving forward into the ambush instead of stopping midway. He would then be attacked from the front and back like a sandwich. Given a situation like this, it was very unlikely that even a very experienced Gold Core old devil could escape.
It seemed that Purple Yin did not expect that Ning Fan possessed such heaven defying skills and spells. He also wouldn’t have known that Ning Fan’s ability wasn’t equivalent to an intermediate-Harmonious Spirit expert. If he knew Ning Fan was Black Devil Ning and was the one who killed a Harmonious Spirit old man and punched a Gold Core expert to death, he wouldn’t make such careless plot of sending his own concubines to capture him.
It was a pity that the result was destined to disappoint him. He had been deceived by Ning Fan. This was a right thing to do in Evil Dao.
“There is no point to engage in battle with them. These cauldrons are too weak.” Ning Fan’s cold smile turned emotionless and then sighed.
This was the reason he didn’t allow Zhihe to go to Sinister Sparrow Sect. Although Zhihe was already at the eighth level of Vein Opening, she had a naïve mind. Even if the assailant was a level one Vein Opening cultivator, he could paralyze her with any Yin related spell.
He didn’t want Zhihe to meet this kind of fate. And, he didn’t hope to see her stained with blood after murdering people for the rest of her life. It didn’t matter even if she hadn’t killed before.
“My killings alone is sufficient. Hump! Purple Yin Kidd of Extreme Yin Gate, I will remember this score. By the way, thank you for you great gift of seventeen cauldrons.”
This desolate mountainous terrain wasn’t a suitable place for plucking*. All the seventeen of them had been paralyzed by his Yin Plucking Finger and were thrown into the red-fogged in the spatial zone inside his Ring Cauldron. Thus, he didn’t have to rush to begin the process of plucking them. He could do that after he reached Sinister Sparrow Sect.
Ning Fan made his calculations and found that the ambush was still there ten miles away. He used his Spirit Sense to try to locate and find out how many of them were there but he didn’t try to go too near to the ambush. He could sense that there was an pre-prepared large formation just a few miles away. And, there were approximately a hundred powerful Qi hidden somewhere in that area.
He withdrew his Spirit Sense and knitted his eyebrows. The number of people who was waiting for him in the ambush was overwhelming. Adding the fact that there is a formation, he wouldn’t take such a risk that might cost him his life.
He knew his own limits. The reason that he could get rid of the seventeen female cultivators was due to the power of Yin Plucking Finger. He was cultivating ‘Yin Yang Transformation.’ Thus, he would always gain the upper hand when confronting a female opponent. He didn’t fear any ladies. Once he breakthroughs to the Void Fragmentation, all the female experts of the Nine Immortal Worlds would need to run as long as they saw him.
Majority of the people in the ambush were male experts. There were also quite a few Gold Core old monsters. The chance of winning was very slim. He probably could face only one Gold Core expert in such circumstances. Furthermore, the ambusher had made necessary preparations to capture him.
“Evasive shift.”
Ning Fan’s face was emotionless. He used the Three Veins Immortal Clouds instead of the icy rainbow art to travel using another route to slip past them undetected.
This incident had taught him a lesson. Despite the rapid speed of the ice rainbow art, it was too noticeable as it shone brilliantly. It wasn’t appropriate if he wanted to stay unnoticeable or performing a stealth attack. If he was to use the immortal cloud to travel, he wouldn’t be tracked by anyone.
After tonight’s matter, Extreme Yin Gate and Purple Yin Kidd had been added to Ning Fan’s ‘must-kill list.’
One should reciprocate how one was treated by another. He was determined to exterminate Extreme Yin Gate once his cultivation grade had reached a powerful extent.
He wouldn’t lose to an old devil like Purple Yin in playing dirty. Currently, he had a hundred thousand immortal jades in his storage pouch. He just needed to set up a grand formation around Extreme Yin Gate’s headquarters. After that, they would meet the same fate as Heaven Separation Sect.
…
Ten miles away in a valley, about a hundred experts of Extreme Yin Gate was hiding themselves. There were seventy level ten Vein Opening experts, twenty Harmonious Spirit experts and five Gold Core experts. The leader was an intermediate Gold Core old monster named Ji Mo.
“Strange. Why hasn’t Ning Fan appeared? Those two women, Bing Ling and Yue Ling, why haven’t they appeared either? Could it be that there are some changes in his trail? Not possible. According to the information, that Ning Fan doesn’t havesharp eyesight or senses. He can only determine the value of magical treasure. He is merely an intermediate Harmonious Spirit warrior, he can’t escape from two Gold Core experts. However, I somehow feel a sense of worry.”
Ji Mo and the other experts had waited in the valley for a night. The night passed but Ning Fan was nowhere to be seen. Apparently, something had changed. He immediately used his Messenger Jade Talisman to communicate with Bing Ling and Yue Ling. But no matter how he tried, he couldn’t contact them.
All of a sudden, his expression changed. He knew that those two women must have fallen into their target’s trap instead.
“Humph! It is truly a mistake to send those two for this task. I have no idea what kind of trouble they have gotten themselves into that not even the Messenger Jade Talisman was able contact them. Forget it, the sky is turning bright. I think the little brat Ning Fan has already gone pretty far away and is about to reach Sinister Sparrow Sect. There is no way we can capture him now. Some of you go and search for the whereabouts of those women. Those two are Gold Core cauldrons after all. The old devil has spent inestimable fortune and time on them. He will be extremely angry if he loses the two of them and certainly won’t forgive me.”
Old monster Ji Mo’s face darkened. The instructed his underlings then begin his search for the two of them. The thought of those two Gold Core females being captured by Ning Fan had never crossed his mind. It was absurd to think that all seventeen of them would be captured by a mere intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert.
Pitifully, old monster Ji Mo couldn’t find the two women at the end of the day. He could now imagine how angry and pained Old Devil Purple Yin would be after knowing that he had lost seventeen virgin concubines.
More importantly, Extreme Yin Gate had offended a hundred-percent unoffendable man!
Ning Fan was a person that would never forget his vengeance!
