Chapter 378.2 (2/2)
“Please, don’t die! You must not die!”
Bei Xiaoman could no longer hold back her tears. Ning Fan stepped up and fought for her but she did not even know whether he was alive or not right now.
Then, she finally realized that her heart could already not let go of him, not knowing when it had started...
In the heavenly dwelling space, Ning Fan was covered in his own blood from head to toe. His eyes were cold and brutal. Ximen Ye who was in front of him was no better. His fists and bones were crushed and his expression was filled with astonishment.
His current incarnation possessed the Peak Level of Jade Life Body Refining Realm while Ning Fan was just at the Third Level of Jade Life Body Refining Realm.
However, after exchanging hundreds of blows, although Ning Fan was bathed in blood, he did not seem to be a lot weaker than Ximen Ye.
As for the latter, he did not seem to have truly grasped victory over this fight as the bones of his fists were crushed by Ning Fan.
“You are strong. But your strength is only unrivalled among Divine Transformation Realm cultivators. I am an expert who has attained the Void Fragmentation Realm and I have seen far too many geniuses. To be honest with you, the strength of my current incarnation is a complete copy of my strength when I was at the Divine Transformation Realm. You aren’t my opponent!”
“Is that so? Then why are the bones of your fists broken?” Ning Fan wiped off the blood on the corners of his lips and his battle intent grew stronger.
It was his first time meeting such a strong opponent of the same generation as him. Moreover, this person was so strong that he felt instinctively nervous and his hands even trembled due to his intense emotion.
In the past, he had become a little proud of himself after defeating some geniuses.
However, people like Han Nietian and Ximen Ye who had broken through to the Void Fragmentation Realm were also those of the same generation as him!
“I will not lose!” Ning Fan said with determination.
“Humph! You will regret being shamelessly boastful. I am not going to show any more mercy when I display this move. Soul Extraction!”
Ximen Ye extended his fingers into the shape of a claw and sliced the soul of the vast land within the heavenly dwelling space.
Ning Fan’s lips formed into a cold smirk and did the same thing, snatching away the soul of the vast land before Ximen Ye could.
The land only had a single soul. After Ning Fan snatched its soul, Ximen Ye would have no other soul to extract.
“You also know the Soul Extraction Technique? Apart from that you are even more proficient in it than me? This is not possible!”
Ximen Ye’s countenance changed for the first time.
He only managed to comprehend the Soul Extraction Technique after he broke through to the Void Fragmentation Realm and he had yet to be proficient in using it. Originally, he planned on using that technique to boost his power to the Void Refinement Realm and finish off Ning Fan with a single move. However, he did not expect that Ning Fan would seize the soul of the land first.
When the soul entered Ning Fan’s body, his magic power skyrocketed. All of a sudden, his power rose to the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm. He was now on par with Ximen Ye.
As he moved his body, his bones gave off loud and violent popping noises. His eyes were sharp like lightning as he stared Ximen Ye straight in the eye. Then, he condensed two layers of palm imprint within the center of his palm and pushed it towards his opponent.
At the next moment, a rolling mass of black flames turned into a fiery palm that was two thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall which fell upon Ximen Ye from above.
“A Mortal Void Realm magical technique? But so what if he has this technique?! Great Void Palm!”
As Ximen Ye swung his palm, a void power which was black like the starless sky turned into a black palm imprint which was also two thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall and collided against the fiery palm.
*Bang*
Both of the fiery and black palm imprints dispersed. Waves of force swept across the battleground, nearly causing the heavenly dwelling space to crumble.
Ning Fan retreated for more than ten steps while Ximen Ye only moved backwards for nine steps continuously before the both of them regained their balance.
Ximen Ye was inwardly shocked.
My Great Void Palm which I displayed with all my strength was actually parried by him.
What made him even more incredulous was that nearly at the same moment Ning Fan regained his footing, he stretched out his purple Fu Li Wings and held a sword in each of his hands. One of them glowed in shining starlight while the other emanated the vigorous blood qi of a dragon.
He did not seem to have wavered from the destruction of his fiery palm. Instead, he held two sharp swords and charged at Ximen Ye fearlessly, as if death did not matter to him.
“I will not lose!”
This time, Ximen Ye really felt the auras within Ning Fan’s swords to the core.
His eyes widened with surprise.
This man is certainly the most powerful of all the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators I have ever met.
“But you are still a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator after all… Void Congealing Sword!”
When Ximen Ye casually swung one of his hands, the void power condensed a jet-black sword which was nearly as powerful as a Void Treasure!
He wielded his black sword and pointed it towards Ning Fan who was charging at him with two swords. As their sword light clashed, the heavenly dwelling space began to collapse.
After slashing and parrying for more than ten times, Ximen Ye helplessly realized that he could not even get the upper hand against Ning Fan.
Moreover, in regards to swordsmanship, Ning Fan was far more skillful than him.
“A mortal ant actually beat me in the Dao of Swords?!”
A strong sense of displeasure rose within Ximen Ye’s heart.
He held his sword with one of his hands and forcefully slammed the other on Ning Fan’s Separation Slayer Sword.
The impact pulverized the crook of Ning Fan’s thumb and blood gushed out in torrents. However, he did not flinch and his eyes remained aggressive as usual. He sliced Ximen Ye’s neck with all his might using the Blood Dragon Demon Sword, not concerned about his injuries at all.
Ximen Ye was slightly stunned. This kind of fight where one fought with their lives gave him a huge sense of dread.
He hurriedly moved backwards to dodge the slash but he still could not avoid being struck by Ning Fan’s sword on his neck. A bloody line which was half an inch long appeared on his neck.
At the moment the Blood Dragon Demon Sword cut through his skin, there was a tearing force from the sword which drained away much of Ximen Ye’s blood essence. Because of his carelessness, he suffered a loss greater than Ning Fan suffered.
“What kind of demon sword is this?!” Ximen Ye burst into anger. He could not allow himself being hurt by a mortal ant.
“I’ve won by half a move.” Ning Fan teased.
“Shut up!” Ximen Ye seemed to have lost his sanity.
The promise he made earlier had been cast aside.
The only thought he had right now was to kill Ning Fan!
