Seizing the Sword with a Broken Body!

Chapter 175(1)– Seizing the Sword with a Broken Body!

A thunderous voice dispersed the echoes. The battle between Ning Fan and Yun Kuang was unavoidable!

Immemorial Divine Vein, Vein of Lightning… The Lightning Star of Fiendgod[1]!

In the past, Song Yi misinterpreted Ning Fan’s identity because of this star. Today, there were around seven Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from Rain Palace who made the same mistake as Song Yi.

The other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were slightly astonished when they recognized that Ning Fan possessed Immemorial Divine Veins. However, those who bore the same thoughts as Song Yi weren’t just surprised but they were also dumbstruck!

Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou!

It was rare but not unusual to have Immemorial Divine Veins or Immemorial Devil Veins in the eight hundred cultivation countries of Rain World. In Rain World, a cultivator’s potential is judged by the attribute of their Immortal Veins. Only Heavenly Spirit or Dual Spirit[2] cultivators were considered genius. As for those who possess Immemorial Divine or Devil Veins, they have even higher potential than those Heavenly Spirit or Dual Spirit cultivators.

Rain Palace itself had the inheritance of Divine Veins of Rain… However, the number of cultivators who could activate the Divine Veins within them were only around ten people, ranging from Vein Opening Realm to Void Fragmentation Realm. Yun Kuang, Song Yi and even Revered Snow were those who experience failure in activating their own Divine Veins.

Furthermore, the only cultivator who possessed the Divine Vein of Lightning in the entire history of Rain World for the past one hundred thousand years was Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou. Coincidentally, the surname of Ning Fan’s pseudonym was Zhou…

(The significance of his name is shown in the following illustration.

Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou & Zhou Ming)

Could it be that this Zhou Ming is the descendant of Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou?

Some of the cultivators gasped in astonishment and even Revered Snow looked stunned when they thought of that possibility.

It would be quite troublesome if the descendant of Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou truly existed.

Revered Snow took a few glances on Ning Fan again and was certain that Ning Fan was the disciple of the Old Devil. He concluded that Ning Fan should have no relation with Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou. Besides, although Ning Fan condensed the Lightning Star, the power of lightning in his body was very weak. He could only borrow the power of the Lightning Star to perform the lightning strike ability. There was still a huge difference between him and the true master of the Divine Veins of Lightning.

Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou was said to be able to transform into lightning and thunder using the Divine Veins’ power while he was still at Nascent Soul Realm. The cultivators of the same realm didn’t have magic techniques or magical treasures that could inflict damage on his real body. Even Early Spirit Severing Realm had no way to confront him. Only cultivators who had far higher cultivation realm than him, owned magical treasures that restrained the power of lightning or fiendgods who had Immemorial Divine Weapons would be able to hurt him.

“Turning one’s body into lightning and thunder making thousands of enemies fail to strike him down”, “Divine Thunder that struck down devils and overpowered three emperors”. Those were the secret news that spread across the high-ranked officers of Rain Palace.

After ensuring that Ning Fan didn’t have the genuine Veins of Lightning, Revered Snow let out a sigh of relief. He sat up straight on the seat made of clouds. With a single touch on the Cloud Palace, it quivered heavily and dissipated into floating clouds. But the mists condensed again in a flash, transforming into a fighting ring that stretched for a thousand zhang.

Ning Fan and Yun Kuang stood at the middle of the ring. A higher platform appeared outside the fighting ring. It was where Revered Snow and the other cultivators watched the fight.

“A single move to decide the winner. The title of Seventh Commander will belong to the one who triumphs in this fight. No matter who wins or loses, they shouldn’t hold any grudges!”

The moment Revered Snow spoke the last word, Yun Kuang wielded his sword without any hesitation!

He was confident that he wouldn’t lose the fight with just one move.

Deep inside him, he was slightly afraid of Ning Fan’s Lightning Star and Divine Veins. However, he hadn’t heard of Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou before. Besides, he didn’t have the right to know about that classified information with his current identity. Therefore, he wasn’t truly terrified of Ning Fan. Even if he knew about it, perhaps he wouldn’t be frightened by the name of the emperor with his arrogant attitude.

With a flick of his finger, a dark sword came flying out from his sleeve and disappeared into thin air. It didn’t disappear due to the sword teleporting, it actually vanished!

“Zhou Ming! Since you don’t know what’s good for you, then you only have yourself to blame! The name of this sword is ‘Shadow Carrier’. It’s more than enough to cut you down!”

The next moment after the sword vanished, innumerable dark leaves suddenly surrounded Ning Fan.

All the leaves then burst into dark mists, covering the entire fighting ring. The fighting ring became pitch-black as if it was midnight. The darkness could not only block the sight of the opponent, but also block the opponent’s spirit sense.

The sword had the ability of ‘Block Vision’ through the process of Spirit Augmentation. A single black fallen leaf could hide the view of Mount Tai. Thousands of those leaves could entirely block one’s sight. Once this ability is used on others, they wouldn’t be able to anticipate when they would be attacked. Moreover, it was difficult to identify the directions where the attacks come from in this darkness.

When the darkness enveloped Ning Fan, extreme vigilance aroused within his heart. Suddenly, the hidden sword which blend in the darkness shot towards his back!

He couldn’t see clearly, but he was able to hear the sound of the sword. It was the sound of the sword’s pulse!

There was no escaping from a Supreme Grade sword that was used to cast a Nascent Soul Realm sword technique!

If it wasn’t for his sword sense, it would definitely be impossible for him to detect the hidden sword’s aura.

Ordinary Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could only identify the position of the sword after they have been stabbed by it. In other words, the only way for them to withstand the attack is to firstreceive an attack by the sword.

Yun Kuang didn’t think Ning Fan would be able to spot the sword’s shadow.

So what if you have the Lightning Star and Divine Veins?

Ning Fan’s spirit sense was just at Early Nascent Soul Realm. The moment he successfully spots the sword’s shadow, he would already be wounded. Furthermore, the true power of the technique wasn’t just limited to concealing the sword to attack in darkness…

A grim smile appeared on Yun Kuang’s face. But something happened next which froze his smile!

Countless strands of dark sword sense emerged within the dark mists in the fighting ring. Then, the dark mists were immediately cut into pieces.

The figure of Yun Kuang and Ning Fan reappeared on the ring with the dark sword held between the tips of Ning Fan’s silver fingers. It couldn’t break free from him!

The Silver Bone Realm! He successfully sensed the direction of the sword attack using his sword sense and captured it with his Silver Bone Realm Body Refining Technique!

Ning Fan shot Yun Kuang an sarcastic look and let out a cold smile.
