Chapter 392.3 (1/2)

The Blood from a Maiden

After everything Ning Fan went through, he had already gathered a total of 107 bottles of dragon blood. Including the three bottles which Elder Chu gave to him during their first meeting, he possessed 110 bottles in total. If he brews all of it into blood wine, it would be equivalent to five hundred and fifty thousand units of magic power!

Ten years! Ning Fan only needed to wait ten years for the blood wine to be done. When that time comes, it would definitely be not difficult for him to break through to the Void Refinement Realm!

He kept the bottles of dragon blood properly and spread his spirit sense to study his surroundings. Countless pairs of eyes of beasts were spying on him in the dark from every direction. Besides, there were even several Void Refinement Realm beasts among them. However, none of them dared to provoke Ning Fan.

To be more specific, they were not afraid of Ning Fan but the Blood Dragon Demon Sword instead.

The dragon might of the immortal blood dragon residing in the demon sword was so strong that none of the blood beasts was bold enough to resist.

Ning Fan’s face was filled with a little surprise. However, his lips curved into a self-mocking smile in the next second.

Evidently, not a single blood beast will dare to attack me no matter where I go in this Blood Dragon Pool as long as I hold on to this sword.

If I have known about this and showed this demon sword from the very beginning, I suppose a difficult battle could have been avoided.

He gently raised the tip of his sword and uttered with a cold expression.

“Get lost!”

He infused a hint of dragon might from the blood dragon sword into his words. As soon as that formidable aura spread, the blood beasts hiding in the dark immediately shivered in fear and instinctively ran for their lives.

So it’s so easy to drive those blood beasts away…

As such, Ning Fan was not in a hurry to return to the first layer. With this blood sword, it was not dangerous at all for him to stay in the second layer.

He randomly chose one of the mountaintops and opened up a cave as a temporary dwelling place. He then ordered his three spiritual puppets to stand guard in the cave with the blood sword. In addition to that, he also set up multiple formations inside. Only then did he shake his Cauldron Ring and brought Yu Chong’er out.

She was still unconscious. Moreover, her cheeks were red and she was even crying in her dreams due to the effect of Ning Fan’s Yin Plucking Finger.

Ning Fan dispersed the power of the Yin Plucking Finger within her body. When the remaining power of his finger dispersed, she finally woke up and let out a squeal of surprise.

“Am I dead…?! Is this place the underworld…?”

She looked around the unfamiliar cave anxiously. Her senses were still a little muddled.

“No. You aren’t dead.”

Ning Fan sounded a little weak and frail. He sat on the ground with his back leaning against the stone wall. He felt extremely exhausted.

It was the first time in his life where he fought and killed until he completely used up his magic power. When he finally got to relax, only then did he notice that his entire body was full of scars and injuries. Even though the pain was unbearable, he just knitted his brows together.

He did not care about the pain.

“Did you save me? W-Why are you hurt so badly?!”

Yu Chong’er rubbed her eyes. Slowly, her mind became clearer and her senses sharper.

When she saw Ning Fan covered with blood from head to toe, her heart was suddenly filled with worry. A thought which she should have found extremely weird naturally surfaced within her mind.

How… How could he…

I despised him, underestimated him and even mocked him in the past. But he still risked his life to save me…

“I-I’ll help you stop the bleeding.”

“No need!”

Before Ning Fan could speak, Yu Chong’er grabbed his arm. Because of that slight movement, countless injuries on Ning Fan’s body ruptured.

When she realized that she had made a mistake again, she could not help but blame herself. Immense guilt weighed her shoulders down. Ning Fan had saved her life but she only caused his injuries to worsen, making them bleed even more severely.

“I have some pills with me. Here. Quickly consume them…”

“I can’t consume pills at the moment. My immortal veins have already been strained to their limits by overconsuming pills. Just stay here and keep me safe. I will sleep for a while. The bleeding will stop on its own.”

Ning Fan did not explain to her the profound healing effect of the Black Star Technique. With this technique, it was only a matter of time before his injuries were completely healed, provided that Yu Chong’er do not cause him any more troubles.

Exhaustion took over his mind and body. Ning Fan fell asleep in his current position.
