- Chapter 58 (2/2)

He crushed the scabbard with one hand and a sword intent which smelt like a nauseating stench of blood spilled out from Ning Fan’s body.

Dugu’s first sword intent was Fire Transformation Sword Strike. The profound concept about this was the conversion of the sword intent to fire soul.

The concept for Dugu's second sword intent was to treat the sword as a tool of killing. The swordsman who understood this must be equipped with the heart of stone, otherwise, he would receive a tremendous backlash from the murderous intent. Next, sufficient murderous intent must be accumulated through continuous killing. Lastly, the swordsman had to train very hard in order to master this skill.

As for the two elements, heart of stone and murderous intent, Ning Fan already had them. The only thing that he was lacking now was training. However, he was able to converge the sword intent into a single spot and launch an attack to break the devil’s Harmonious Spirit armour.

The white-boned devil, who was standing opposite of him, twitched its eyes in surprise the moment he saw Ning Fan crush the scabbard.

“The secret sword technique of the sword ancestor! Who are you?”

He was a Void Fragmentation expert and a monarch of ghost but was frightened by the Gold Core sword intent as it suddenly recalled a very dreadful memory from before.

It reminded him of an imposing girl holding a long sword that slaughtered innumerable devils during the ancient times.

‘If I could destroy that sword, I would become invincible!’

Seconds later, his fear switched to hate and anger. Since this young man knew the secret sword technique, he had to be a descendant of that imposing girl. Besides, the reason that he died and was kept as a ghost in Nine Yin Land was because of that girl.

“I will kill her descendant. Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The devil’s gaze turned greenish blood-red. His murderous intent against Ning Fan soared wildly.

Ning Fan on the other hand had turned a blind eye to what was happening to the devil. His left hand was still carrying the unconscious small sable while his right hand was holding Starlight Sword Shadow. He shut his eyes and immersed his mind into the blood-red sword intent.

Who was the sword ancestor? Was the sword ancestor the ancestor of that girl? Ning Fan didn’t have a single clue about it.

Now, he only saw white bones in the blood-red sword intent. In the bloody mist, he was holding a sword, standing opposite of him was a girl who continued to slash the devils ruthlessly with her sword. Her face was blurry.

In Ning Fan’s eyes, these images turned into a sentence of a short poem.

A hill of white bones that didn’t have names, the bones of princes and princesses that didn’t have skin… They were women with rich dresses and men that cultivated the evil dao. One strike could blight thousands of bones.

Ning Fan opened his eyes and immediately stepped onto the icy light. He pointed forward with his sword, shooting out the sword intent that was illuminated with starlight towards the 30-meter-large devil.

“The second sword intent… A Mountain of White Bones!”

At this very moment, the devil felt a sense of extreme danger and threat which made it frenzied to the point that it had forgotten its main intention of coming here – capturing the sable.

It casted its magical power and converged it on one of its finger, and pressed it towards Ning Fan.

The finger strike was sufficient to crush an early Gold Core expert to death, let alone Ning Fan.

The tip of Separation Slayer turned into a blood-red light along with Ning Fan’s murderous intent. It was a simple and plain blood-red light but it carried a fearful sword intent that stabbed violently at the devil’s fingertip.

The instant their attacks collided, a strong force channelled itself through Separation Slayer towards Ning Fan’s chest, breaking a few of his ribs, and causing him to spurt out blood. He swallowed the fresh blood instantly and exerted more force in the handle of Separation Slayer, piercing into the devil’s finger.

When the blood-red light touched its finger, a large hole was seen from it. This scene was totally out of its expectation, as if its thoughts were washed by a pail of cold water.

The attack that was capable of crushing the bones of an early Gold Core expert was destroyed. Ning Fan looked like a person who didn’t fear death and a fearlessly frenzied dog which could scare anyone.

The next thing that happened also shocked the devil. A scorching temperature was channelled from the opening of its finger across its bones. It continued to move until it reached the soul under its bones and ignited, forming a shapeless flame, burning the soul inside.

This was the very first time that the devil displayed a shocked expression, it was clearly in disbeleif. A resounding wail soared to the sky. It was a distressed signal that alerted all ghosts in the Second Region.

In the meantime, in the Seventh Region, a 3000-meter-tall white-boned devil could feel that his avatar was killed, igniting his fury.

“My avatar is killed! Which ghost has such an audacity to kill my avatar! Find out who it is and rip the killer to pieces! Also, do not let that old female devil escape from Demon Sinister Forest! I want all ghosts of the forest to lock the exit of the seven regions! Kill any intruder on sight!”

The white-boned devil had been the monarch of the seven regions for countless of years. This was the first time that he felt truly angry!
