Chapter 222 1 (1/2)
Xu Rushan!
The black cloud dispersed and an elderly man in black robes appeared.
This person had silver white hair with a body that was thin and bony. Despite that, his body emanated a heavy aura. It was not fierce. Instead, it was as thick and heavy as a mountain. It made Ning Fan feel that he could break the heavens and pulverize the earth with just his finger or fist.
The old pair of eyes on his wrinkled face were sharp like those of an eagle.
On the center of his forehead, there was an illusory half-formed black star, glittering faintly.
When he stood in the sky, anyone would feel that he was like nature itself.
A trace of Primordial Magnetic Force disrupted the magnetic force of the mineral veins at the bottom of the ocean. It even pierced through Ning Fan’s Sea of Consciousness, inflicting a mild pain on his spirit sense.
Early Spirit Severing Realm… Xu Rushan!
Ning Fan’s face turned somber. The expert before him gave him an extremely strong sense of pressure, making him feel that the person in front of him was not a person but an enormous mountain.
He knew the power that inflicted pain to his spirit sense was the Primordial Magnetic Force.
It’s really extraordinary.
The half black star in the center of his forehead resembled an Immemorial Devil Star.
Even though he did not possess Immemorial Devil or Divine Veins, he still managed to congeal half of an Immemorial Devil Star. He might just have half of the star, but it was enough to prove that he was an expert with great talent.
Ning Fan pondered about the intention of his sudden appearance without any fear.
To him, Xu Rushan was much more powerful than the rest of the cultivators he met in the External Endless Sea. He alone could have wiped out all the Nascent Soul Realm experts in the External Endless Sea. In terms of the aura he emanated, it was much stronger than the spiritual puppet, Stone Warrior.
Of course, Stone Warrior’s combat power should be comparable to him as aura was just an external factor. In fact, his combat power might even be slightly weaker than the female corpse. Even if Ning Fan faces him alone, he had 30% assurance of finishing him off with his Yuan Yao Jade. However, there was a higher chance that he would die in his hands as well… A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator battling against a Spirit Severing Realm expert… If he could not win, then he would definitely be dead. There was a 30% chance of winning, but 70% chance of dying as well.
From Late Nascent Soul Realm onwards, there would be an immeasurably vast difference between each of the small cultivation realms.
As for Xu Rushan, he was an expert who had a higher cultivation level than Ning Fan by a large and small cultivation realm.
(Late Nascent Soul Realm [Ning Fan’s current cultivation realm],
Peak Nascent Soul Realm [a small cultivation realm gap from Ning Fan’s],
Early Spirit Severing Realm [a large cultivation realm gap from Nascent Soul Realm])
This person’s attitude is rather weird…
He wants to ask for my help and promised to give me 50 drops of Profound Liquid of Mother Earth as a reward for helping him…
500 units of magic power. If Ning Fan acquires this much magic power, he would even try to break through the bottleneck of the Peak Nascent Soul Realm and become a true expert of that realm.
This person is a respectable Spirit Severing Realm expert. The only possible reason that made him request for my help is either he knows that I am a Fifth Revolution Pill Master or something regarding the Secret Realm of the Broken World.
Other than those reasons, there was nothing worth it for a Spirit Severing Realm expert like him to specifically seek for Ning Fan’s help. As for the Secret Realm of the Broken World, any expert at the Spirit Severing Realm would be forbidden to enter. Since Ning Fan was the strongest cultivator below the Spirit Severing Realm, he would be the most reliable person to seek help from.
But this Xu Rushan had been hiding in this place for quite some time. Maybe he was already here when he knew that Su Yao and the group of female cultivators faced danger. After all, he also belonged to one of the top ten sects of the External Endless Sea. He would not want the sect master of Bi Yao Sect to be humiliated in his territory.
However, Ning Fan’s emergence made him give up on his thoughts of saving them.
He did not act immediately and helped Ning Fan eliminate his enemies because of two reasons.
Firstly, he wanted to observe Ning Fan’s power to see whether this cultivator was qualified to rope in.
Secondly, he wanted to borrow Ning Fan’s hands to kill the black monks and make the latter the great enemy of the Black Buddha Sect.
After searching Milian’s memories, Ning Fan found out that one of the Spirit Severing Realm old monsters from the Black Buddha Sect would be present at the Pleasure Devil Sea… His presence was due to the auction of a Spirit Severing Realm human cauldron.
It was a secret that only a few top-ranking officers and elders of the Black Buddha Sect would know. Besides, before Ning Fan came, he did not even have a single clue about the auction of a Spirit Severing Realm that was going to be held soon. The important point was that the Spirit Severing Realm of the Black Buddha Sect who would arrive a few days later should have already known that the experts from his sect had been killed. In other words, he was going to find trouble with Ning Fan when he arrives.
Xu Rushan is probably planning on using the Black Buddha Sect to threaten me…
The so-called request he has is actually just a combination of threat with inducement…
“Oh? I wonder what request Senior Xu has for me. Junior is all ears to listen.” Ning Fan smiled and cupped his fist towards Xu Rushan while maintaining his calm.
Xu Rushan did not change his expression but secretly, he sucked in a cold breath.
Despite my Spirit Severing Realm aura and the intimidating pressure of the Primordial Magnetic Force, he could still maintain his composure.
In actual reality, experts at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm would find it impossible to stay calm and tranquil even when they are a thousand zhang* away from Xu Rushan.
