- Chapter 159 2 (2/2)

A large amount of power from the Yin Plucking Finger permeated into her back. She felt her body becoming more feeble and even her scarred visage turned red.

“What kind of bewitching technique is this? And how do you know that I am one of the concubines of the Demon General?!” The female demon gritted her teeth and said angrily. She knew that she was already in Ning Fan’s grasp as she wasn’t even able to activate the rune on her glabella, not to mention resisting his attack.

She began to blame herself for her carelessness. From the beginning, I shouldn’t have let him get too close to me. If I had used the Demon General’s stored attack, I wouldn’t end up like this.

Ning Fan did not relax even though he had already sealed her demonic power.

He still remembered his experience from the past. That time, he had sealed off the Flower Demon’s power but the rune was still able to activate itself and summon the demon general’s shadow.

This time, he would not allow any chance for the shadow to condense.

He touched his glabella and the shadow of the Separation Slayer Sword flew out. When the blood light rose from the female demon’s glabella, Ning Fan pierced it multiple times. His action caused the rune on her glabella to bleed. After that, a man’s groaning could be heard from it. However, before the sound was completely condensed, it dissipated.

The female demon had lost the final means she possessed to resist Ning Fan.

“You! How dare you hurt Lord Li Ban! You deserve death!” A killing intent was shimmering from within her eyes.

“If you yell at me again, you will regret your action. Starting from today onwards, you will be my second Nascent Soul Realm cauldron. The first cauldron is the Flower Demon. And you will be the Wind Demon.”

“What? The Flower Demon? Did you…” The female demon was in great shock. She was curious whether the Flower Demon was the one that she knew.

Ning Fan did not answer her doubts. He activated his bewitching technique within her body and made her lose her consciousness. After that, he kept her in his Cauldron Ring.

He used three moves to catch another female demon. If it was a male demon, he would have no choice but to struggle in battle without any assurance of winning.

At the land of Hexi, Hou Lian’s whole body was trembling. He acted as if he was struck by lightning.

Each of the Gold Core Realm cultivators which used to be very terrifying to him died before Ning Fan easily.

Apart from that, the notorious Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng was caught in just three moves.

Horrifying! This devilish Zhou Ming is too scary. Has he displayed his true strength?! Even a Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator might not be able to capture an Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator alive but he had really done it.

The more Hou Lian thought of Ning Fan, the more fear he had of him. In his mind, he regarded Ning Fan to be on par with Late Nascent Soul Realm and above cultivators.

Currently, he truly dared not to offend Ning Fan anymore.

“This Zhou Ming is surely an evil person.” That was the conclusion Hou Lian had of Ning Fan.

Now, I own a second Nascent Soul Realm cauldron. However, it was still because of luck that I was able to subdue her. Aside from that, not all Nascent Soul Realm experts are female. If I was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, it will be a one-sided fight against this female demon.

“My strength is still inadequate. I need to achieve Core Formation as soon as possible!”

Ning Fan kept all the storage pouches on the ground and turned his gaze to his back, looking at the sky. He sensed that there were a few powerful auras heading towards him. Maybe they saw the trace of the battle just now. Judging from their auras, there were four human experts. They were most probably the members from Rain Palace who were sent to assist Wei Country.

If they discovered me, there should be more troubles. It’s better to avoid meeting them face to face.

“Lead the way. We’re heading to your sect…”

Without giving Hou Lian any opportunity to ask, Ning Fan grabbed him like catching a small chick and teleported. Their shadows vanished from the land of Hexi in just a split second.

His objective of capturing Zhifeng was accomplished. Next, he was going to rob the sects in Wei Country and he would then leave this place.

The second Nascent Soul Realm cauldron and the second Nascent Soul Realm stored attack were now in his hands!

The trip in Wei Country was indeed worthwhile.

…

After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, four Nascent Soul Realm experts landed on the land of Hexi. Upon seeing the drastic changes to the landscape around them, none of their expressions could remained tranquil.

“There’s no mistaking it. It’s a showdown of magical techniques between Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.” An old man who looked like a Confucian scholar said with a serious tone.

“Yes, it appears that the battle ended just moments ago. Judging from the remaining auras, it was apparently a battle between a human and a demon. After comparing the strength of both auras, the human expert seemed to have won the battle.” A middle-aged man dressed in a Taoist kasaya said that.

“A human? It seems strange, isn’t it? Only four of us were sent by Rain Palace to assist Wei Country. Could there be someone other than us?” A beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties said with a strange tone.

“Brother Yun Lie, what do you think?” The woman looked at the tall man who wore a sackcloth. His appearance was the complete opposite of handsomeness. However, the woman spoke to him in a really respectful manner.

“I haven’t got any thoughts yet…” The ugly tall man replied impatiently.

He was not really concerned about the battle that just happened there. For him, the showdown of techniques between Early Nascent Soul cultivators was only child’s play.

Although the scene looked spectacular, the two cultivators did not really have a life and death battle. How could a battle end without casting their ultimate techniques?

He had his usual ways of perceiving things no matter what others said. The other three cultivators understood his attitude well enough. Therefore, none of them dared to feel any dissatisfaction towards him.

The old scholar, the middle-aged Taoist and the beautiful woman were Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. However, the ugly tall man was a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator! So no matter how arrogant, how impolite or how ugly he could be, none of them would dare to offend him.

“Let’s go. We’ll pursue other demons and devils. Since our friend who had just helped us to eliminate demons was unwilling to show himself, we do not need to pay attention on him anymore as he might not want to let others discover his identity.” When the old scholar spoke, the others nodded their heads in agreement. Only the ugly man did not take notice of his words. After the others had left, he studied the traces and marks left over. He felt puzzled and weirded out by them.

The aura of the Nascent Soul Realm human cultivator is very familiar. Yes, it should belong to someone I know. But where exactly did I see him before?

He would surely not know that the cultivator that won over the female demon was the teenage boy he met when he was passing by the Sinister Sparrow Sect in Yue Country while carrying out his duty.

That’s why confusion could be seen on his cold and indifferent expression.

I feel so frustrated about it. It’s really familiar and yet I can’t recall the owner of the aura.

“Who is he, really? Old Monster Qin, Fellow Daoist Ma… No, it’s wrong. Who exactly is he? I am certain that I have met him before!”

Unfortunately, he did not relate the young boy with the identity of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.

Not long after, his shadow vanished in a flicker of teleportation.
