- Chapter 58 (1/2)
A Hill of Bones with No Names
The white-boned devil ahead was a mere peak harmonious Spirit but there was some kind of hidden Qi inside of it. Its Qi covered thousands of meters wide, causing some fluctuations and cracks in the void. Furthermore, some kind of devil Qi was found within the perimeter of the blood-red mist in the forest.
It stirred up more of Ning Fan’s fear and discomfort while he was sizing up the devil despite the murderous intent of an immortal emperor.
Void Fragmentation realm!
These three words suddenly appeared in his head, making his turn face ugly. He was wondering why he met a Void Fragmentation ghost in the Second Region.
This ghost had a very high level of Qi and magical power which he couldn’t detect despite him being a peak Harmonious Spirit expert. It was true that the cultivation of the ghosts in the Nine Yin Land was restricted by the formation. So, it was impossible for them to go into the lower regions. This devil must be from the higher regions. It might have used some sort of special ability or seal or incarnation or any other means to break into the lower regions.
After pondering all of these, Ning Fan changed his fearful expression. He no longer feel frightened despite looking slightly alarmed.
As long as it wasn’t the real body of the devil, he might be able to eliminate him.
Ning Fan’s eyes became unnaturally composed as if he had recovered from his shock. When the white-boned devil noticed the unusual changes in Ning Fan’sexpression, its eyes turned cold.
This brat feared me just now because he realized that I’m a Void Fragmentation expert, but he suddenly changed when he knew that this wasn’t my true form. He has an extraordinary perception despite his low cultivation. Or he has concealed his strength. He cannot be underestimated…
The both of them put up a strong facade when they realized that the other wasn’t an easy enemy. In the next moment, they casted their strongest skills at the same time.
The devil yelled, “Dance of Bracken Sprouts!”
“Fire Transformation Sword Strike!”
Ning Fan shook his Cauldron Ring to keep the two girls within it while stepping into his icy rainbow and went airborne while his other hand carried the unconscious sable and slashed at the devil. However, his sword strike couldn’t cut through its armour. The recoiling force shook his sword so much his hand felt numb.
The next second, he saw the devil violently made a heavy stomp on the ground, shaking the entire land. The next thing that happened was that thousands of bones, that were as sharp as a spear, pierced out of the ground and shot up above as if it was going to also pierce through the sky.
Every bone was sharp enough to pierce through an Early-intermediate ranked armour. Ning Fan could already feel the coldness from it. He quickly activated his invisibility hair band and disappeared.
The countless bones were shooting in every direction as its target suddenly disappeared.
Ning Fan had evaded the attack but tens of innocent Harmonious Spirit ghosts couldn’t escape their fate and died in the area.
“Invisibility Equipment, humph! An insignificant trick!”
*Howl*
The devil showed a disdainful look and let out a strange howl. The sound wave wasn’t just intangible waves. It rippled everything it touched. Ning Fan’s face changed instantly when his figure turned visible because of the sound waves.
Although this devil had suppressed his cultivation to the peak of Harmonious Spirit realm, its abilities and magical arts were still matchless. Even if Ning Fan was in the late Harmonious Spirit realm right now, he merely had a few tricks which wouldn’t be enough to defend against his opponent.
When the devil saw Ning Fan’s ordinary skills, its fear for him reduced. His huge palm waved, slapping Ning Fan to the ground.
“Leave the ‘Netherworld Sable’ here and I will let you go!”
The devil said with a smile. He sounded exceedingly arrogant. He was already a monarch of the ghosts across the Demon Sinister Forest, so who could rival his strength?
As a matter of fact, Ning Fan didn’t wish to provoke such an incredible devil during his hunt. He would’ve let the ‘Netherworld Sable’ off his grip if the devil didn’t hurt Bing Ling, but the fact remained that the devil had injured Bing Ling with his finger strike.
Ning Fan didn’t have a favourable impression of Bing Ling, but she was hurt because of guarding his safety. If it wasn’t for her, he would be the one who was injured now.
His eyes turned cold. He waved his palm and took out a new scabbard that carried Xiao Dugu’s second sword intent.
This sword intent was only comprehensible to Gold Core experts. So, it wasn’t a problem to him anymore as his spirit sense had already reached Gold Core realm, and his silver bone physique was strong enough to handle the sword intent.
Ning Fan wanted to release the sword intent and turn it into a Gold Core sword intent to break the defense of the devil. This devil was without a doubt a ghost and a ghost only possessed an intangible body but this monarch ghost had reached a level where his body was protected by an external armour – white bones.
As long as the white bones were destroyed, Ning Fan’s Separation Slayer, which had the ability to incinerate souls, could finish the Harmonious Spirit soul of this devil with ease.
