Chapter 489 - Red-Haired Human Cauldron (2/2)
Moreover, due to the severe injuries that the two elderly experts were suffering, it would only be a matter of time for that red-haired lady to hunt them down without any accident. It was definitely impossible for the two experts to defeat her.
Ning Fan’s expression changed and ordered to turn the bow of the silver boat around. He did not have the intention to interfere in their battle.
The two green-robed experts fighting against the red-haired lady in midair earlier but they were not her opponent. In fact, they almost died in her hands. Thus, they could only break the hollow space and fled with their lives. However, they suddenly noticed Ning Fan and the others were at the scene.
As soon as they saw Ning Fan and Su Yan who were two Void Inquiry Stage experts on the silver boat, they looked like they had just seen a life-saving straw. Obviously, they were trying to seek for their help.
Even though they did not know who Ning Fan was, they recognized Su Yan, a Void Refinement Realm expert of Rain World. They knew how powerful she was.
Now, the two of them only had a single thought in their minds – to avoid the red-haired lady’s attacks at all costs. Thus, they boarded the silver boat and begged for Su Yan’s help while panting for breath.
“You are Fairy Su of the Mist Horn Clan, aren’t you? We, the ‘Two Elders of Ling Nan’, are currently in trouble. It’s a coincidence to meet Fairy Su here. Fairy Su and this fellow Daoist over here, please lend us a hand. We will very grateful for you if you are willing us to save us from the danger!”
The two elders had no idea about Ning Fan’s strength. However, they were aware that if Su Yan could help them, it would not be a problem for them to deal with that red-haired lady.
“The Two Elders of Ling Nan?” Su Yan was slightly stunned, as if she had heard of the name of these two individuals. However, judging from her expression, she didn’t seem to be very familiar with them.
Ning Fan frowned. After the two elderly experts boarded the silver boat, the red-haired lady who was closely chasing after them had also targeted her killing intent on the boat and begun delivering attacks towards the boat with no reserve. Her attacks forced the silver boat to stop its flight.
“Anyone who tries to protect the two of them shall die!” The red-haired lady shouted, unleashing an intense killing intent.
Evidently, the red-haired lady had already viewed Ning Fan and the others as the accomplices of the two elders of Ling Nan and she decided to wipe them out entirely.
The red-haired lady held a massive blood-red sickle that had the shape of a crescent moon. Each time she wielded her sickle, the blood-red attack she sent out to the silver boat carried the destructive power that was on par with that of an unrivalled Void Inquiry Stage expert’s attack. It was strong enough to grievously injure ordinary Void Glimpse Stage cultivators.
Su Yan took a lotus step forward and raised one of his hands, waving a purple copper dragon horn. The horn produced purplish red rays which destroyed the attacks from the red-haired lady. The situation looked like both Su Yan and the red-haired lady had same level of combat power.
Although Ning Fan did not intend to save the two elderly experts, the red-haired lady’s actions made his eyes turn cold.
Moments earlier, he was still worrying that he did not have any suitable human cauldron to capture. Since this red-haired lady attacked him and his group without distinguishing between right and wrong, he would not mind keeping her as his first Void Refinement Realm human cauldron!
“Yan Er, come back. Let me deal with her.”
“Why did you call me Yan Er…” Su Yan’s cheeks turned slightly red. Her apricot eyes flickered. However, she secretly concealed the redness on her face and returned to the boat obediently.
As for Ning Fan, he leapt forward soared into the sky above the silver boat and dashed towards the attacks from the red-haired lady.
This scene had gone beyond the two elderly experts’ expectations.
The two of them were the rogue cultivators of Rain World. Throughout the years, they had been travelling around, seeking and exploring the historical remnants of ancient cultivators in order to find opportunities.
They rarely paid attention to the news and rumors circulating in the world. Therefore, they were unaware of Ning Fan’s name which rose to fame among the Void Refinement Realm experts in Rain World.
Even though they could sense that Ning Fan had a Void Inquiry Stage qi, they could also tell he had just attained that cultivation level not long ago and his foundation was somewhat shallow. Thus, they did not expect Ning Fan to be very powerful, much less fight against the red-haired lady head-on.
From their perspective, the only person who could resist the red-haired lady at the scene was only Su Yan, the clan leader of the Mist Horn Clan. Of course, since they kept themselves away from the latest news, they still had no idea about the incident that had happened to the Mist Horn Clan.
They heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Su Yan had an equal strength compared to the red-haired lady. They were prepared to help Su Yan to fight the red-haired lady alongside with her.
However, they did not expect that Ning Fan would call Su Yan back at this moment and face the red-haired lady on his own. From the two elderly experts’ view, Ning Fan’s action was undoubtedly extremely foolish.
“This fellow Daoist, the red-haired lady is very strong and she is almost at the unrivalled level of the Void Inquiry Stage. She’s not someone whom you can fight…”
Before they could finish speaking, they were suddenly startled with their mouth agape.
They saw Ning Fan handle the red-haired lady’s sickle attacks more easily than Su Yan.
By just raising his palm, he could crush the blood moon slash from the lady using his physical strength.
By just hurling his fists, he could deliver an attack carrying the unrivalled power among Void Inquiry Stage and keep the lady on tenterhooks.
Based on the strength which Ning Fan displayed, he clearly was not any weaker than Su Yan and certainly was an unrivalled being among Void Inquiry Stage experts!
The two elderly experts no longer dared to underestimated Ning Fan to the slightest. Both of them realized that they had been belittled his strength too much.
However, there was something they found it a little hard to understand. If Ning Fan had such great power, he should have already become a famous individual in Rain World. No matter how uninterested they were in the matters of Rain World, they more or less should have heard of his name. But why did Ning Fan look so unfamiliar to them?
“How dare you stop me from killing people? Have you grown tired of living?!” The red-haired lady flew into a rage. She realized that her attacks actually did not have any effect on Ning Fan while the latter was suppressing her instead.
Under her brimming wrath, layers of blood-red baleful qi suddenly rose around her body.
The baleful qi seeped into her red hair. Then, her elegant and soft long hair seemed like it had come to life. Countless strands of her hair turned into blood-red snakes. Each of them opened their bloody mouths wide and blasted out blood-red flames at Ning Fan.
