Chapter 496 - : The Sect Master of the Pill Sect (1/2)

The cultivation level of the white tiger was without a doubt higher than Ning Fan’s.

If he fought Ning Fan directly, he might not necessarily lose the fight. Unfortunately, he was born to be faint-hearted. When he identified the formidable origin of Ning Fan’s Blood Dragon Demon Sword, it was completely stricken with fear. The only thought in his mind was to flee regardless of everything.

Just as he was running away, he heard a whistling noise which cut through the air tailing him behind. When he turned around to look, what he saw nearly scared him to death. The sword light was flying at him with an extremely violent momentum. It could even split the blood sea into halves. A sword light that could sever the sea was certainly something that could not be disregarded!

While he was running, he was frantically spreading his blood umbrella. It gave off several faint red halos which looked rather similar to those which the jade ornament released.

By looking closely at the umbrella, it actually had some strange circles on its surface, just like those on the jade ornament.

“This blood umbrella is also carved with the ‘spirit rings’, making it an excellent magic treasure…”

The ancient demon muttered inwardly. At the next moment, the blood sea behind him roiled violently. Sea waves rose into the sky, forming layers of blood-red walls that tried to block the incoming sword light.

Each of the walls which the blood ocean created was abnormally sturdy. They might not break even if they receive Void Glimpse Stage attacks.

However, that blood dragon demon sword seemed like a natural restraint to the blood ocean. The sword light it delivered pierced through all the walls effortlessly and nearly caught up with the ancient demon.

Suddenly, a higher-pitched whistling sound cut through the air. The sword light sped up and landed directly on the white tiger’s back.

At this moment, light green halos came out from the white tiger’s sleeves which formed a protective layer for him.

When he took the slash of the sword light, he groaned quietly and fell into the blood sea like a kite with a broken string.

A few moments later, the white tiger looked re-energized and dashed out from the blood ocean in a ray of travelling light. He glared at Ning Fan in anger. Even though his qi was in disorder, he did not seem to suffer severe injuries.

“That was a close one! I thought I was going to die under the immortal blood dragon demon sword… Luckily, I have the jade ornament to keep me safe. My master’s treasure sure is powerful. Brat, you really pissed me out! I am not running anymore. I am going to fight you with all my might!”

The Blood Dragon Demon Sword was just comparable to a Low Grade Mortal Void Treasure because only its first seal was lifted. In terms of its current destructive power, it was not strong enough to kill a Void Pierce Stage ancient demon in a single strike.

Moreover, just as the sword light was about to hit the white tiger just now, the Spirit Bone Jade Ornament which he kept under his sleeve suddenly released faint green halos as if it was protecting its master. Those halos had neutralized a great portion of the sword light’s power. That’s why he wasn’t grievously injured even though he was struck by the sword light.

The white tiger man was truly shocked by the Blood Dragon Demon Sword. It couldn’t be helped because the bones of the immortal blood dragon were too impressive. And he was quite knowledgeable to recognize the origin of the blood sword.

However, when he realized that he was still alive after receiving the sword slash Ning Fan delivered using the blood sword, he immediately understood that the power of the latter’s blood sword was not fully unlocked.

Thinking that he still had the Spirit Bone Jade Ornament which could provide him protection, his courage and confidence returned to him. The fear he had of Ning Fan diminished a lot and he now looked like he wanted to go all-out against him.

Ning Fan’s brows were slightly knitted together as he adjusted his grip on the sword.

After having a few confrontations against the white tiger, he already noticed that this ancient demon might have a strong cultivation level, he lacked courage and had weak temperament. Moreover, he also lacked the combat experience. That’s why his combat power was not strong.

However, the magic treasures he possessed certainly could not be disregarded. If it wasn’t for the Spirit Bone Jade Ornament which was automatically activated to protect its master and save his life, Ning Fan definitely was very confident that he would have been severely injured after receiving that attack.

“I’ll fight you to the death!”

As the white tiger was taunting, he took out his third magic treasure. It was a small golden metal hand warmer but its grade was quite extraordinary. That gold metal also seemed to be some kind of precious immortal mineral which even Ning Fan could not identify its type.

The hand warmer contained many dark charcoal. Just as the little golden stove came into contact with wind, the charcoal instantly burnt in golden flames.

The white tiger stole three magic treasures from his master in the past. Other than the jade ornament and the blood umbrella, it was this golden hand warmer.

He held the golden stove up in the air and it grew upon meeting the wind, reaching a height of ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang). It then plummeted towards Ning Fan’s head, as if it wanted to engulf him and burn him alive with the flames.

That golden flames did not belong to any kind of flames. It was just the flames given off by the charcoal. Even so, it was much stronger than many Sixth Grade spiritual flames.

There were circular marks on the surface of this golden hand warmer. They seemed to have the effect in increasing the power of the flames.

When the white tiger incited the flames using the golden hand warmer, their destructive power increased greatly. Now, even a Void Pierce Stage old monster would have to lose a layer of their skin if they are burnt by the flames.

“My ‘Golden Stove’, burn him to death!” The faint-hearted white tiger put up a fierce bearing and roared. The golden flames immediately turned into multiple light golden halos and rushed towards Ning Fan.

Although the golden stove was unique and its golden flames were powerful, Ning Fan was not afraid.

His Stele of Sun and Moon restrained every flames beneath the heavens. All he needed to do was use his fire plucking technique and he could then get rid of the flames from the golden stove.

However, the only thing that concerned him was that be it the jade ornament, the blood umbrella or the golden stove that the ancient demon was currently using, all of them could give out strange halos. It was Ning Fan’s first time encountering such uncommon attacks.

“Fire Plucking Technique!”

Despite the countless thoughts that were running in his mind, his actions still remained quick. He pointed a finger at the sky and displayed his fire plucking technique with all his strength.

Black flames emerged at the tip of his finger and transformed into a large vortex of flames in an instant. That fire vortex eliminated all the golden fire halos that were pouring down on him.

Afterwards, Ning Fan flapped his eight wings and dashed upwards into the sky, approaching the gigantic golden stove that was falling down towards him. He raised one of his palms and slammed it on that massive stove.

*Bang*

The momentum of that falling ten thousand zhang* tall golden stove was indescribably huge. Even so, Ning Fan stopped it from falling down any further with just a single palm.

He then placed his finger on his glabella and drew out his White Lightning Whip which he had not used for a long time. Each lash he made would summon a blood-red lightning that struck the golden stove.

Even though the current White Lightning Whip would be able to harm one’s primordial spirit without even striking their treasures, if there is a magic treasure being the medium, the destructive power of the whip would certainly be greater.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Every time Ning Fan hit the golden stove with the whip, a blood lightning would strike the white tiger’s dantian. It was none other than the ability of harming one’s primordial spirit by striking their magic treasures.

His technique had filled the white tiger who had just regained his confidence with shock again. Because he, who was a person with a faint heart by nature, once again recognized the origin of this ability.

“Hurting one’s primordial spirit by striking their treasures!? I’ve heard of this technique before. According to my master’s jade slip, it’s a technique of an immortal emperor who controlled lightning in the past. This technique allows the user to injure their enemies’ primordial spirit using the power of lightning. Even though there are many people who cultivate this technique, it’s rare to find someone who manages to attain the blood lightning. Even my master isn’t able to attain the blood lightning… But you… You managed to achieve it!? This is terrifying. This is way too terrifying!”

One strike. Ten strikes. A hundred strikes…

In a matter of seconds, Ning Fan lashed the golden stove for one hundred times consecutively, summoning countless rays of heavenly lightning.

After the series of attacks, the white tiger was already in a grievous state. He hurriedly used a secret technique to protect his dantian and only then could he withstand the blood lightning attacks summoned by that White Lightning Whip.

Then, Ning Fan took advantage of that opportunity to activate his Wind Mist Finger and used it on the golden stove, erasing all traces of spirit sense controlling the magic treasure.

The white tiger wailed in agony, feeling a sharp pain in his Sea of Consciousness. He had lost the control over his golden stove.

As Ning Fan waved his hand, the golden stove immediately shrunk and became a small hand warmer again. He then kept it into his sleeve.

That treasure no longer belonged to the white tiger. Instead, it was Ning Fan’s from now onwards!

When Ning Fan touched the circles on the surface of the golden stove, a strange feeling rose within him and his Fu Li Demon Bloodlines trembled!

These circular marks are certainly not simple!

“How dare you seize my magic treasure?! I’m going to kill you! This time, I am really going to go all-out!” The white tiger gnashed his teeth in anger.

“…”

Ning Fan did not care about the white tiger’s threatening remarks. He now had found out the truth about that ancient demon.
