Chapter 315.3 (1/2)

Purple Robe Straw Man

Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with seriousness. Outwardly, Zi Chuan might seem to have detonated himself and died in order to insert his blood and qi into the sword. However, to him, it seemed to have a hidden plan behind his action.

What Zi Chuan had planned was that once the sword was parried by Ning Fan, the blood and qi on it would then disperse, allowing Ning Fan to completely subdue this sword qi.

He does not seem to be truly sacrificing his life to display this final attack. Instead, it looks more like he is giving this sword qi to me as a present…

“I might have witnessed Zi Chuan’s death with my own eyes. However, judging from the words he uttered before his death and the way he presented the sword qi to me, perhaps this man hasn’t died yet. I’m afraid he has used some kind of means which is beyond my knowledge and escaped… However, he has eliminated all of his hostility within this final attack. What’s left within it is just a reciprocal battle intent. This is a challenge! If he really isn’t dead, then it would be an invitation from him to a duel once I ascend to the Four Heavens!”

Ning Fan frowned. He did not like keeping the roots while weeding. Currently, however, he was not able to do anything else other than parrying the incoming Mid Void Refinement Realm sword qi first.

“Inlaid Star Compass, appear!”

Placing his finger on his glabella, he produced a starlight compass. Within seconds, an abstruse diagram of a star formation spread out beneath his legs and thirty thousand star lamps emerged.

“Light up!”

All of his magic power was poured into the Inlaid Star Compass, kindling 5000 star lamps. That number of star lamps was enough to withstand a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm attack. Despite that, it was not enough!

“Soul Extraction!”

Ning Fan’s five fingers clawed at the star sea, displaying the technique of Soul Extraction.

The group of demons who had known that he was a cultivator who comprehended that technique were not surprised by him.

However, Yuan Yao was not one of them. Hence, she felt shocked once again.

This Divine Transformation Realm cultivator whom she still slightly underestimated had actually mastered the technique of Soul Extraction.

There is barely anyone who could compare with him with his exceptional talent!

After displaying that technique, Ning Fan’s magic power increased to the Late Divine Transformation Realm, causing 9999 of star lamps to light up.

With his teeth gritted, he suddenly performed a hand seal, making ten thousand star lamps to light up. Now, the star formation of the Inlaid Star Compass was sufficient to fend off a true Early Void Refinement Realm expert’s attack.

“Not enough! It’s still not enough!”

“In order to block this Mid Void Refinement Realm sword light, I must light up all thirty thousand star lamps!”

“If I can’t light up all of them with my magic power, then I shall borrow the power from crushing treasures to light them up!”

During the bloodsheds and massacres of the Star Sea, Ning Fan had obtained quite a number of treasures. Each and every one of the demon treasures were taken out and crushed.

One thousand pieces. Ten thousand pieces. One hundred thousand pieces. One million pieces…

All kinds of treasures ranging from Dan Realm to the Spirit Realm appeared but none of them remained intact!

As each of the remaining star lamps ignited, the power of the star formation rose gradually.

After destroying one million demon treasures, all of the thirty thousand star lamps lit up!

Thirty thousand lamps shining with silvery flames turned into countless layers of silver light barriers.

When the Mid Void Refinement Realm sword qi struck the star barriers, each of them crumbled with ease, making the star formation shook unsteadily.

However, for every one layer that was broken, the power of the sword qi would diminish slightly. As for Ning Fan, he was already in a state where he nearly completely exhausted his magic power.

Looking at the sword qi which had lost ninety percent of its power, Ning Fan turned his five fingers into a claw and clutched the sword light.

“Now, disintegrate!”

The sword light then dispersed. Afterwards, it congealed into a piece of sword crystal!

At this moment, the star island was filled with dead silence. At this moment, each of the sea beasts revealed a look of utter disbelief.

“The star lord has parried the Mid Void Refinement Realm sword qi! What is that treasure? Its defensive power is absolutely heaven-defying!”

Only Yuan Yao let out a gentle sigh, feeling relieved inwardly after that nerve-wracking scene.

Not only did she feel fortunate that Ning Fan managed to parry the sword light but also relieved that Zi Chuan did not die during the battle.

“Zi Chuan is an outcast of ‘that race’… Lu Bei, no matter how many outstanding beings you have killed in the Star Palace, I will have ways to help you conceal it However, only Zi Chuan’s death can’t be covered up if he were to die just now. However, you don’t have to worry. Even if you really kill Zi Chuan, there is still my Lost World Palace…”
