- Chapter 69 2 (2/2)

One of the intermediate Gold Core expert’s facial expression turned cold as he saw Ning Fan.

There was a total of seven of them trying to rob the vault during the time of chaos. After adding Ning Fan to the total, there would be eight. Adding one more person into the group would reduce a portion of the rewards. That explained the reluctance of this intermediate Gold Core expert.

“Zhou Ming, you are nothing but an early Gold Core expert. Plus, you have low combat strength. But still you insist on robbing the vault? Go and die!”

The intermediate Gold Core expert’s eyes turned cold. He waved and summoned a ghost’s magical treasure – a ball. It flew to Ning Fan’s head and was going to eliminate Ning Fan with lightning so that competition would be reduced.

However, the attack of an intermediate Gold Core expert was a joke to Ning Fan. The Starlight Sword Shadow flew out of his mouth and pulverized the Intermediate Rank Magical Treasure that had the shape of a ball with one strike!

The ghost’s magical treasure was crafted by Sense Beads. The body of the magical treasure was formed by the energy of spirit sense. As for Ning Fan’s Separation Slayer, it had the ability to burn spirits. So, how could Ning Fan be afraid of ghost’s magical treasure?

The light of the sword didn’t diminish. It pierced through the intermediate Gold Core ghost cultivator, incinerating him to dust.

Every ghost which were present at the moment, including Chu Chen and Qu Han shivered with fright.

What magical treasure was that?! It was like the natural predator of ghosts. Could it be the Void Rank Divine Power of Spirit Augmentation – Soul Burning Divine Power?

They began to realise that it wasn’t a ghost’s magical treasure but the magical treasure of a human!

“You are a human. You are the human who killed the incarnation of Bone Emperor. I understand now. No wonder the Bone Emperor would come to the Green Clan all of a sudden!”

Qu Han was slightly astonished. She never imagined that the Zhou Ming whom she had underestimated was the one who threw the Demon Sinister Forest into chaos.

What amazed her even more was thatafter Ning Fan waved his palm to keep the intermediate Gold Core Sense Bead, Ning Fan slashed at the almost-Nascent grand formation with his Separation Slayer. The Soul Burning Divine Power of the sword burnt a man-sized opening on the formation.

Without saying a word, he turned into an icy rainbow and penetrated the opening, but the opening was closing up very quickly.

No one would have anticipated that Ning Fan could slash open the almost-Nascent realm grand formation, which had opened a path for them into the vault.

Except one person, an old man who had never underestimated Ning Fan from the start. He was Chu Chen!

The moment Ning Fan slashed open the formation, he rushed through the opening.

When the opening closed up, Qu Han and the other experts were left outside the grand formation. They could only watch Ning Fan and Chu Chen go into the vault and rob everything from outside!

“Dammit! They have managed to get into it first! We have to quickly break open the formation. We can’t allow them to reap all the benefits in the vault!”

After deducing that the dead expert that was killed by Ning Fan, there were only five of them now, including Qu Han began attacking the formation. Their speed of breaking the formation wasn’t as fast as before.

At this moment, Ning Fan and Chu Chen rushed into the first level of the vault and began collecting the century-old herbs.

“Brat! You are pretty good for being able to slash open the almost-Nascent realm grand formation. No wonder you were able to eliminate the incarnation of Bone Devil! I’m impressed! I am the great elder of Purple Clan, Chu Chen, do you want to collaborate with me to divide these herbs?”

“Collaborate? Senior, you have already revealed your identity and cultivation grade. How can I refuse the collaboration? I didn’t know that senior is the great elder of the Purple Clan, forgive me for my disrespect.”

Despite their conversation, their hands were moving continuously. In a few seconds, hundreds of wooden cabinets had been broken and all of the herbs had been kept into their storage pouches.

As if they already had the implicit consonance, they ignored those herbs that were scattered on the floor and rushed to the second floor.

Separating the benefits equally was better than competing for it. It would have wasted time and in the end, they would face the outcome which the snipe and the clam would face and the fisherman* (a third party) would reap all the benefits in the end.

This was mainly because Ning Fan didn’t have the certainty to kill Chu Chen and Chu Chen wasn’t confident enough to kill Ning Fan.

Chu Chen was amazed when he saw Ning Fan’s current cultivation realm which was merely a late Harmonious Spirit expert.

“A late Harmonious Spirit expert is able to kill the incarnation of Bone Emperor? He also has the guts to enter the Third Region? Not only does this brat have a strong reserve of amazing power, he is exceedingly audacious…I’m afraid an extraordinary man has been born to the Rain Immortal World.”

Note:

*The story between the snipe, the clam and the fisherman – When the snipe saw the clam on the beach, it swooped downwards to eat the clam. The clam also saw the snipe coming, so its mouth remain closed until the snipe landed on the beach. Then, it opened its mouth again, revealing its flesh to trick the snipe to eat its flesh. The moment the snipe put its beak into it, the clam closed its mouth, trapping the snipe’s beak. The clam was stubborn and refused to let the snipe go. Suddenly, a fisherman came and saw two of the animals. He captured them easily and effortlessly. He was the happiest party as he reaped all the benefits.
