- Chapter 118 2 (1/2)
This is…my Dao! (2)
“You wanted to lure me into the ninth level and sneak-attacked me with your roots. How shameless… In that case, I don’t need your Ming Luo Fruit anymore, it’s done… For the sake of Bright Sparrow, I won’t kill your clone, but if you continue to block my way, I have a way to kill your clone and cause your true body to suffer a heavy injury!”
Ning Fan’s eyes turned cold. He kept the Pill Cauldron and extinguished the earth fire. If it wasn’t because this place was under the old man’s control, with countless Spirit Severing demonic beasts watching him, he would never be so courteous to this old man and would’ve killed this clone by now.
“Humph! Wanting to leave?! It’s true that this old man can’t do anything to you, but all the demons on this level listens to my command. Perhaps, this old man may not be able to kill you, but if I won’t let you leave, do you think you can leave?!”
The old man’s eyes were cold. His spirit sense permeated the surroundings, seemingly passing some kind of orders. Immediately, each of the Spirit Severing demonic beasts revealed a ferocious look, stepping towards Ning Fan’s direction. This was a threat! And this threat was obviously harder to deal with than the old man’s clone!
Under this stalemate situation, the little girl stamped her foot urgently. For some reason, she didn’t want to see the Cookie Brother whom she had just met having a fight with Grandpa.
“Enough! Grandpa, if you harm Cookie Brother, I-I won’t take the ‘Pill’ anymore!”
A trace of black light flickered intensely in her eyes. Agony was emerging on her face. Then, a pair of black wings sprouted out from her spine and clothes!
There was pain, heart-wrenching pain. At the moment when the girl sprouted out wings, she passed out with a painful wail.
The abrupt change in the girl left the old man dumbstruck.
“Not good. She has exerted the demonic force. The symptoms of the Void Poison is beginning to manifest. She has to be fed with medicine now!”
Void Poison was an extremely fierce poison during ancient times, originating from the immemorial Dark Sparrow’s black feather tail wing. It was a lethal poison that had combined with Dark Sparrow’s spatial force. The Void Poison of a full-grown Dark Sparrow could easily poison a true Immortal to death.
Long ago, the old man has discovered the Void Poison in Bright Sparrow’s body. He had done everything he could to suppress the poison, but the fierceness of the poison was far more powerful than he had expected. He was unable to clear it off her body even with his Void Fragmentation cultivation base!
The old man had used various kinds of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to create some sort of medicinal liquid to bring the Void Poison under control. As long as Bright Sparrow didn’t exert her demonic force, the poison would be under control. Only by taking these pills every once in a while could the poison be suppressed.
Due to his lack of knowledge in alchemy, the medicine he made couldn’t cure the poison inside of her, and gradually, the poison seemed to have created its own immunity against the medicine, making it harder to suppress. Once the poison broke out in her body, she might die…that was why the old man had the idea of capturing Ning Fan after learning that he had broken through to the Fifth Revolution Concoction Technique.
It was just that he hadn’t expected that Little Bright Sparrow would exert the forbidden demonic force just to protect Ning Fan, causing the Void Poison inside her body to manifest ahead of time!
The old man’s heart was burning with anxiety. At this moment, he had lost all interest in detaining Ning Fan… This time, he had no idea if Bright Sparrow could survive this outbreak.
His eyes were blazing with fury, as if he was going to eat Ning Fan alive!
“If Bright Sparrow dies, this old man will rush out of the Dark Sparrow’s Grave and shred you to a million pieces even if that means that I have to burn my own soul and fall into an irrecoverable state. You son of a b*tch! Get out! Get out of the Grave!”
The old man picked up the unconscious girl and prepared to fly back to the ninth level.
However, Ning Fan didn’t seem to be going anywhere. He knitted his eyebrows and called out to the old man. He had very little affection for this old man, but he couldn’t help but care for the little girl.
“Wait!”
“What do you still want?!” The old man turned his head angrily, but after seeing a trace of concern in Ning Fan’s eyes, his fury reduced slightly.
“She isn’t being poisoned by the Void Poison… If I’m not mistaken, the force she exerted earlier should belong to the Immemorial Dark Sparrow of Royal Clan – the Dark Demon Force. I don’t know what kind of medicine did you feed her, but I know that the most it can do is to suppress the effect of the poison. Suppressing it isn’t helping her, but harming her instead!” Ning Fan’s eyes were solemn.
“Dark Demon Force! Dark Sparrow of Royal Clan! Not possible! She’s just a tiny Pill Devil. I have seen her grew up with my own eyes!” The old man felt a tingle in his heart. As one of the demons here, there was no way that he wouldn’t know who the Immemorial Dark Sparrow was and the horror of the Dark Sparrow.
He had witnessed the formation of the Pill Devil and how it grew into a nice and obedient little girl. How could she be an Immemorial Dark Sparrow? How could she be a leading figure? This was nonsense!
But after listening to what Ning Fan said, the old man also felt that the mysterious force in the girl’s body was similar to the force of the legendary Dark Sparrow of Royal Clan – the Dark Demon Force.
The Immemorial Dark Sparrow or the Dark Sparrow of Royal Clan was the head of demon race and a rare existence. Only the Royal Dark Sparrow could produce Dark Demon Force. The other demons could easily be deterred by using this force alone.
When Bright Sparrow was born, she had an inexplicable restraint against demons. Perhaps, this was the thing that made him feel good about her. If this force was the Dark Demon Force, everything seemed to make sense now.
Struggle appeared in the old man’s eyes. After a moment of deep contemplation, he partially believed Ning Fan’s seemingly absurd inference.
