Chapter 360 (1/2)
The Venerated Eighth of the Internal Endless Sea (Part Two)
“What an incredibly strong sword finger! If it’s just the first stage of the technique, I can still resist it without suffering any injuries. But after he unleashed the second stage which produced a million sword qi, it will be extremely difficult for me to endure it!”
Dong Xu’s eyes widened with great surprise.
Since Ning Fan’s return to the External Endless Sea, he could see that Ning Fan’s power had tremendously improved within these twenty years.
However, Dong Xu had never thought that the current Ning Fan would be so strong that he was able to hurt a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert with one finger!
What particularly shocked Dong Xu was the twenty-five Divine Transformation Realm spiritual puppets that Ning Fan possessed.
He was the one who provided seventeen of the puppets, but the remaining eight were not from him.
Without a doubt, the other eight spiritual puppets were originally owned by Ning Fan. The strongest spiritual puppets among them had even attained the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm. Even Dong Xu would not dare to underestimate it!
“It’s merely twenty years, but this man has become so strong! If the Alliance of Ming Assassins had not provoked him, he would not have revealed his true strength and no one would know that he is already strong enough to be on par with the Venerated Seven of the Internal Endless Sea!”
“After this battle, he would definitely be recognized as the Venerated Eighth of the Internal Endless Sea!”
Dong Xu was overwhelmed with amazement while the others had even turned pale with fright.
After witnessing this technique, Zuo Tong felt chills running down his spine, making him even feel hesitant to offend Ning Fan in the future.
A feeling of frustration rose within Yun Niansu’s heart. This was the second time he felt that he was not able to compare with Ning Fan.
The first time he had that feeling was when he was overwhelmed by the level of Ning Fan’s state of mind.
The second time was when he was mentally overpowered by the mightiness of Ning Fan’s sword finger.
Yun Niansu sighed with emotion. If it weren't for the fact that he was still a Low Grade Fifth Revolution Pill Master, he might no longer have any confidence to hold his head up in front of Ning Fan.
However, Yun Niansu had no idea that even his pill refinement techniques were inferior to Ning Fan’s.
Dong Xuanzi’s immortal veins were completely broken and his cultivation base was nearly destroyed by Ning Fan with a single finger.
Falling heavily to the ground, Dong Xuanzi endlessly coughed out blood. He was already in a state of utter stupefaction.
It was just too powerful! The power of the technique Ning Fan used literally blocked the combined attacks of a million cultivators of the alliance, the Eastern Profound Sword Formation and Dong Xuanzi!
All the cultivators of the alliance who contributed their power suffered a great backlash after having their sword qi broken.
Four thousand and seven hundred sword hills on the Ying State Immortal Island began to tremble violently.
Ning Fan descended on the island, his sharp piercing gaze sweeping across the surroundings coldly like a sharp sword. The souls and guts of several low grade cultivators were directly broken by his terrifying gaze causing them to die on the spot!
After taking a good look at his surroundings, Ning Fan spread his sword sense. It was as if a droplet of thick black ink had dripped on the Ying State Immortal Island, transforming into thousands of ink-black swords!
As Ning Fan activated his sword consciousness, every black sword emitted a shrill and dispersed to all directions like black lightning bolts, sweeping across the area!
“I’m now here in front of you all. Whoever wants to assassinate me, draw your swords, step forward and fight me!”
*Rip*
Just as his voice fell, his black sword sense spread everywhere. The cultivators of the alliance who had been drawn into the sword sense cried out in pain and were shredded into pieces right afterwards!
After making a single sweep on the area, ten thousand cultivators perished!
When he made ten sweeps across the area with his sword sense, one hundred thousand cultivators bit the dust!
After making one hundred sweeps, only a few thousand cultivators survived the sword sense by luck.
These cultivators were either Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, Late Gold Core Realm or Peak Gold Core Realm cultivators who had secret techniques to protect themselves. They only managed to stay alive after giving their all in surviving.
However, even though they survived, most of them were severely wounded. Moreover, they became even more fearful of Ning Fan after witnessing his method of killing large groups of their comrades!
“S-Sword sense! Devil Lord Zhou Ming is actually proficient in the Art of Sword Sense!”
“The Art of Sword Sense is great at causing damage to a large area. If the one million cultivators were in a firm formation, they might not need to be afraid of the sword sense. But this Devil Lord Zhou Ming shattered the one million rays of sword light and threw all the cultivators into confusion… Once the defending formation was broken, regardless of how many low-level cultivators there are, they are nothing but victims of his sword sense!”
The faces of the surviving cultivators were all distorted in fright.
Several breaths ago, the cultivators on Ying State Immortal Island were still as many as clouds.
Just a few breaths later, nearly a million cultivators were all slaughtered by Ning Fan alone!
*Boom*
Ning Fan made a step forward and the massive force of his footstep caused a violent tremor on the island.
The baleful qi all over his body was terrifyingly strong. With just his baleful qi alone, he was able to derange the minds of the Divine Transformation Realm experts.
His eyes were frigid cold with endless sword qi revolving around him.
Seeing Ning Fan’s vigorous baleful qi and brutality in slaughtering a million cultivators, Purple Gu, Luo Sen, Xie Gu and the other Divine Transformation Realm experts were rooted to the ground like stone carvings.
“Fellow Daoist Dong Xuan, hurry up and deactivate the sword formation at once! We must escape from the island!”
Afraid, all of them were afraid and wanted to escape!
However, their words made Dong Xuanzi sigh in despair and spit out blood again.
“There is no way… There is no way to lift the formation! Once the Eastern Profound Sword Formation is activated, it will take at least seven days to deactivate it unless I force it to close using a secret technique. It’s not easy to condense swords into a formation and it’s even more difficult to scatter the swords and escape! If I deactivate the formation forcefully, we’ll definitely suffer a backlash from the sword formation. Everyone within the formation will receive heavy damage from the sword formation indiscriminately!”
“My immortal veins were all broken by Zhou Ming. I am unable to use the slightest bit of magic power at this moment… Therefore, there is no way I can perform the secret technique to deactivate the formation!”
“The only choice we have now is to fight Zhou Ming to death. Within seven days, all of us will have no chance of escaping from Ying State Immortal Island!”
What?!
All the cultivators had the urge to curse in frustration.
Why are there so many restrictions in deactivating the Eastern Profound Sword Formation?!
Doesn’t it mean that not only did the Eastern Profound Sword Formation not prevent Ning Fan from intruding the island or kill him, it didn’t even help the situation at all but helping him commit a slaughter instead by trapping everyone on the island!
“Dong Xuan! Since you knew that you can’t deactivate it, why did you activate the formation in the first place?! You are now trapping all of us here and leaving us at Zhou Ming’s mercy! What is your true motive?!”
“Nonsense! How would I know that Zhou Ming could enter the formation without breaking it?! Besides, how would I even know that my immortal veins would be broken, rendering me unable to perform the secret technique to lift the formation?! How would I know we will be trapped on this island?! Instead of questioning me, why not question yourself, Luo Sen?! What is your motive for leading Zhou Ming here? Are you going to get all of us killed?!”
What Dong Xuanzi said was beyond dispute. All the experts began to argue among their ranks. None of them had expected that Ning Fan would be able enter the formation with ease using his Wind Mist Finger leaving all the Divine Transformation Realm experts nowhere to hide or escape!
