- Chapter 72 (1/2)
Break the Swords, Sea of Fire!
After swallowing the Jade Royal Dan, Ning Fan’s body was able to block the attack of the sword Qi!
He opened his mouth and the Starlight Sword Shadow flew out and slashed randomly, slashing away the sword Qi. The pieces of the Execution Immortal sword Qi were swallowed into his belly.
As the sword Qi entered his abdomen, he could feel an acute pain all over his body, but strangely, when the acute pain was superimposed with the pain of broken bones caused by the Jade Royal Dan, he couldn’t feel a single thing.
What he was feeling was numbness.
He unexpectedly discovered a strange phenomenon, pain could be counteracted by the same degree of pain, but at this moment, he wasn’t in the mood to ponder about the reason behind this phenomenon. As such, the correct method to relieve the pain when taking the Jade Royal Dan was with another pain.
There was no pain from the Jade Royal Dan, no life-threatening pain from the sword Qi, but he could feel every sword Qi in his abdomen and his eyes turned cold.
Given his current realm, he was disappointed by the fact that he couldn’t devour the slightest bit of the Immortal Execution sword Qi.
However, there was a trace of spiritual force within these sword Qi, and this spiritual force was greater than the Sense Beads!
While he was breaking through into the late Gold Core spirit sense realm, he was interrupted by the attack of the sword shadows which ended the entire process in failure. The remaining one hundred Sense Beads might not be enough for him to break through it.
But then again, if he devoured the spiritual force of these sword Qi, he was certain that he would be able break through into the late Gold Core spirit sense realm again!
He could currently feel that the grand formation was being besieged by the Green Clan experts. Once the grand formation was destroyed, he would die for sure and the two girls wouldn’t be able to escape.
Looking up, beyond the formation light, at Qing Hengxing who was laughing wildly, his cold eyes sparkled and he shouted at the two girls.
“Half an hour more! Just help me hold them.”
The Immortal Execution sword Qi couldn’t be devoured, but its spiritual force could. He forcefully separated the spiritual force from the sword Qi and threw it into his sea of consciousness, integrating with his spirit sense.
A transformation slowly occurred in his sea of consciousness. The force in his spirit sense was also gradually increasing. Again, it rushed to the barrier of late the Gold Core spirit sense realm!
…
Outside the formation light, the attack of the Green Clan experts intensified. The second elder, Qing Hengxing gave up using his physique as the weapon. He waved his palm and took out a tiny-hill-like magical treasure encircled by black Qi.
It was a High Rank Magical Treasure – the Extreme Spiritual Mountain! Every attack it launches contains thousands of kilograms, not even a peak Gold Core expert could withstand such damage.
“Extreme Spiritual Mountain, destroy it for me!”
Qing Hengxing smiled coldly. With a blow of his Gold Core Qi, the small hill suddenly turned into a 3000 meter mountain and smashed down on the formation light.
Each smash created deep cracks on the formation light, which consumed thousands of immortal jades.
He licked his tongue. In his estimate, this formation would lose its defensive strength in less than half an incense stick of time.
“Third Brother, once this formation is broken, you immediately go below and bring those spiritual herbs back. Tell Great Elder that I will stay here to have an enjoyable time with those two chicks.”
He stared at Mu Weiliang and Ning Honghong with lustful eyes, as if the two of them had already become an item in his bag of holding.
“If you can get rid of your lust, your mental state will improve tremendously. Perhaps you will be able to break through into the Nascent Soul realm after that.”
A trace of disdain was hidden very deeply in the Third Elder, Qing Wuwei’s eyes, while casting a spell that produce countless of gloomy fire balls and threw them on the grand formation.
It seemed like it was only a matter of time before they broke through the grand formation.
In the formation light, Mu Weiliang had lost her calmness whereas Ning Honghong were gritting her teeth, while they were busy replenishing the immortal jades into the empty formation eyes.
Ning Fan gave the two of them 400,000 immortal jades. Within this short period of time, about forty or fifty thousand had been expended.
If the situation continued at this rate, they were afraid that the formation wouldn’t hold for half an hour.
“Sister Weiliang, continue to replenish the formation eyes. I will use my spirit sense to maximize the defensive strength of this grand formation.”
Ning Honghong said and immediately sat down cross-legged, using her spirit sense to control the grand formation. Mu Weiliang was surprised by Ning Honghong’s courage. She gritted her teeth but didn’t stop Ning Honghong.
The Formation used the strength of mountains and rivers to form a defensive barrier. If a cultivator used his or her spirit sense to manipulate the formation, all the strength from the mountains and rivers could be maximally used.
However, this was an extremely risky act, because once the grand formation was destroyed and if the manipulator couldn’t withdraw her spirit sense from the grand formation in time, she would suffer serious damage.
It’s just that Ning Honghong didn’t have time to consider about all these risks. She only hoped that she could make another half an hour time for Ning Fan.
“Perhaps he will be able to break the siege attack of these Green Clan experts after half an hour…” Ning Honghong tried to comfort herself, but she wouldn’t believe that Ning Fan would have ways to counterattack these Green Clan experts.
Her face turned pale the moment her spirit sense entered the formation light. Controlling a Nascent realm grand formation using the spirit sense of an intermediate Gold Core spirit sense was very difficult for her.
Gradually, her mind integrated with the terrain below the bamboo forest and constantly manipulated the force in the terrain to enhance the defensive strength of the formation light.
Outside the formation light, the Green Clan experts could feel the distinct increase of its defensive strength. As for Qing Hengxing, he frowned when he noticed that his Extreme Spiritual Mountain could no longer create traces of cracks on the formation light.
“Someone is using spirit sense to manipulate the formation? Humph! Is that someone the little b*tch? That’s annoying!”
Qing Hengxing’s eyes fell upon the girl in red clothes who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His eyes turned cold as he flicked his right hand to summon the Extreme Spiritual Mountain back to his storage pouch and took out a purple-black tattered talisman.
Faint flashes sparkled from the talisman which made it look extra-ordinary. When the experts’ eyes fell upon the talisman, their expressions changed drastically.
“It’s the Heavenly Ghost Talisman! It contains the power of a single strike from a Nascent Soul expert!”
Everyone’s eyes looked over at Qing Hengxing with fear and dread. They couldn’t imagine that he would be willing to use such a precious talisman just to break the grand formation!
It showed how much the Green Clan adore Qing Hengxing. After a laugh, his finger twisted the talisman and instilled a vast amount of magical power into it. A purple light glowed from the Heavenly Ghost Talisman and faint cries of ghosts were heard.
He gestured to cast a spell. Then, a black fire appeared on the talisman. Smoke and ashes billowed to the sky above. With the cremation of the talisman, it slowly turned into a three hundred meter large purple skeleton. Gusts of sinister wind blew the air. The giant skeleton then bit on formation light and tore it forcefully. A thirty meters wide hole was ripped open from the formation light.
At the same time, the wail of a girl was heard from inside of the formation. Ning Honghong could feel the tearing pain as the formation light was torn open.
Her delicate and red lips had become pale, but she ignored the injuries in her sea of consciousness and rotated the force of the terrain to repair the formation light.
But then again, her spirit sense would be seriously injured even if the formation light was mended.
After seeing the state of the female ghost in red, he was slightly astonished, because she was able to endure the sharp pain when her spirit sense was torn along with the formation light. One should know that, that kind of pain was unbearable even to men. This girl must be a heroine in her past life.
Nonetheless, when he imagined a proud, conceited woman pressing against his body, his excitement was turned on even more. He bore his white fangs and gave a cold smile while constantly casting spells to goad the Heavenly Ghost Talisman to attack the formation light.
“I would like to see how long can this b*tch last! Rip it!”
He was wildly controlling the Heavenly Ghost skeleton. The giant skeleton was ripping off the formation light with every bite. In fact, the giant skeleton wasn’t ripping off the formation light but the spirit sense of Ning Honghong.
