Chapter 352 (1/2)

Washing Gusu with Blood

Xu Qiuling wore a black dress and appeared irresistibly charming. Despite knowing the incoming lightning tribulations from above her head, she appeared to be unconcerned.

She had never been a timid woman.

Shadows of floating flowers lingered around her, as if every inch of her magic power had turned into pitch-black petals.

When she made a gentle step forward that looked like she was stepping on a lotus leaf, innumerable rare plants within the deep sea rapidly withered and all their essence seeped into her body.

At this moment, her Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm aura was closely similar to that of a real Divine Transformation Realm expert!

“This is… the ‘Black Flower Empress’ physique!”

Ning Fan was inwardly astonished and his face slightly changed. He had never thought that Xu Qiuling would have such an excellent innate talent.

The Black Flower Empress’ physique was the bane of nearly all kinds of demons and magical techniques related to plants. Moreover, it even possesses a secret power which allows her to borrow power by absorbing the essence of plants around her for her own use, making them wilt in the process.

According to rumors, the Black Flower Empress physique would only be bestowed upon cultivators who fulfilled certain conditions.

Firstly, that cultivator must be a woman and she must also possess a physique with Yin attribute.

Secondly, this female cultivator must be a plant once in her previous lives and had attained the status of being the emperor or empress among plants.

Previously, because of the inadequacy of the gold element in her life force, her true physique had not been revealed.

Today, however, after her lacking element was replenished, her physique became complete. She took a step, emanating a majestic aura that could make all flowers yield to her, just like an empress among flowers!

“Lightning tribulations, break!”

Xu Qiuling’s eyes turned grim. As she waved her hand, the entire area became filled with falling black flowers.

A black garland slowly formed around her bare hand, glowing with a gleam of terrifying black light.

When she threw the garland into the sky, it became like a crescent blade of light, cutting everything in its path. All the silver lightning rays above her were cut into half by the garland and the Lightning Tribulation was destroyed!

It can even cut off lightning rays! The attack speed of this garland is so fast!

Ning Fan inwardly reckoned that not many cultivators below the Divine Transformation Realm would be able to withstand the attack that Xu Qiuling had just shown.

This woman had seen through the matter of life and death and she was not afraid of misery and hardship. The mentality she had was rare among the women whom Ning Fan had met. If she did not have a problem with her life force, she would have been even more outstanding than the so-called Seven Sons of the External Endless Sea!

“I did it…” Xu Qiuling’s smile was as beautiful as an orchid but her face was slightly pale. It seemed like temporarily boosting her power by absorbing the essence of hundreds of flowers was rather burdensome on her body.

Besides, as her gold qi was just fully replenished, her body was certainly worn out. Suddenly, she carelessly slipped on the ground and was about to fall down. Ning Fan immediately dashed towards her in a flash of light and held her delicate wrists. His eyes were filled with surprise.

“Your physique is so outstanding. If you can find a fiendgod cultivation method related to immortal flowers, your cultivation base will advance at a tremendous pace… On the basis of the potential of our physiques, I’m not a match for you.”

Black Flower Empress was a special type of physique, just like the Bewitching Physique that Zhihe had. At the moment they were born, they had an advantage that others could not compare.

Ning Fan did not have any physique. The only thing that made him luckier than other geniuses was the profoundness of his Yin Yang Transformation.

Of course, if Ning Fan had been born with any kind of unique physiques like the Yin Yang Body, his potential would definitely be much higher.

Xu Qiuling only smiled faintly at Ning Fan after hearing his praise and replied with a firm tone.

“Big Brother, you must be joking. Even though you don’t have any physique, no one can replace you in my heart!”

“Now, even though your injuries are healed, you still need to rest. Let’s return to the Pleasure Devil Island for now to recuperate…”

“No, I don’t want… Can we rest in Gusu? The Pleasure Devil Island is like a cage and I don’t like it.” Xu Qiuling pleaded.

“Silly girl, if I’m with you, which part beneath the heavens is not like Gusu?” Ning Fan stroked her cheek as he spoke. His words had brightened up her eyes.

“Big Brother, you’re right. I’ve been too obsessive. If Big Brother herds horses in the countryside, I would then shepherd goats and weave clothes for you. If you serve as an officer at the imperial court, I would then stand by your side and support you. If you hold a sword and go on a battlefield, I will follow you with wine in my hand and always drink with you to divert you from boredom. If you become a butterfly and fly against the sky, I would then give up my petals for you to help you soar to greater heights… As long as we go through the ups and downs in life together, wherever we are is the same as Gusu City…”

Xu Qiuling’s words were genuine and sincere. They made Ning Fan feel touched.

He had been going through hardships throughout his life. When he was young, he was bullied. Until that day in the All Pleasure Sect, he had no choice but to defy and fight back.

He had abandoned his mortality, chose the path of the devil and travelled through seas of blood. Even if he had countless beauties, his shadow was always lonely.

This loneliness was his perseverance and stubbornness to face all obstacles by himself. Now, however, Xu Qiuling was willing to stand with him and share his burden.

Ning Fan’s notoriety was widely spread around the world. However, the more notorious he becomes, the more people become afraid of him and despise him.

His cultivation method was mean and shameless but Xu Qiuling tolerated it regardless.

As long as we go through the ups and downs in life together, wherever we are is just the same as Gusu City…

“Thank you!”

Ning Fan felt warmth in his heart. He was more convinced that it was right to choose the path of cultivation.

If he had not stepped into the world of cultivation and had died willingly as a mortal, he would never have met so many beauties and female companions in his life.

“We will return to the Pleasure Devil Island first. There are some affairs I have to deal with after that… I need to see some people and beat some forces. Then, I will enter the Internal Endless Sea…”

“If Big Brother is going to enter the Internal Endless Sea and head to the Giant Devil Sect, I will also go together with you… It has been a long time since the last time I met Sister Xueyan. I miss her so badly…”

Ning Fan pondered.

The ‘Sister Xueyan’ that Qiuling is referring to is probably the little princess of the Giant Devil Sect, Feng Xueyan.

When he was about to continue asking her about the background of the Giant Devil Sect, the sound of something as heavy as an island crumbling was suddenly heard from above the sea!

*Boom*

This noise was soul-stirring and it was definitely not the sound from a volcanic eruption or an earthquake!

This was the sound of a powerful cultivator attacking Gusu island!
