Grasping Evil - Chapter 261

Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Half Divine Star, the Might of Yin Rong!

Demon General Jing Yun might have easily defeated Lu Zhan but Ning Fan killed Jing Yun with ease!

Holding Jing Yun’s storage pouch in his hand, Ning Fan glanced within and noticed 30 tufts of Blue Flame Grass.

Nice. They finally landed into my hands! As such, I can start to assimilate the Demon Marshal’s blood and improve my demon power to ten thousand units and advance into the Divine Transformation Realm!

A deathly silence fell upon the entire Luo Yun Province so much that you can hear a pin drop.

Yao Yuan and the rest of the 40 Demon Soldiers who personally witnessed the incident where Ning Fan killed three Divine Transformation Realm experts on his own were already on their way back to Northern Desert City. In the province, the only person who had felt a small perceptible part of Ning Fan’s strength was Lu Tianming who was injured to the point where he was just like a dead dog.

But shortly after the moment when Jing Yun died, the whole crowd burst into cheers!

Lu Tianming who was setting up the betting pool was literally dumbstruck with astonishment under Ning Fan’s ferocious qi.

Previously, he was sure that Ning Fan would be able to defeat Jing Yun and even cut him down. But he had never thought that it would be an overwhelming victory for Ning Fan even though he faced Jing Yun who was quite a strong opponent…

“I am definitely blessed with great luck for being able to stay alive from that man’s hands that day…He even dares to kill one of the Pure Flame Tribe’s generals right in front of their Honorable Demon General, the Flame General, Lu Jiefen. He is just too savage…He does not seem to be afraid of turning all the members of the Pure Flame Tribe into his personal enemies. He does not even consider the consequences of killing a person. All he knows is that anyone who is his enemy must be killed!”

Lu Zhan whose right eye was blinded could feel his blood boiling.

All his grievances after being injured by Jing Yun completely disappeared at this very moment and turned into a feeling of awe and respect towards Ning Fan.

“This old man will be the first one to agree for this person to be the Eighth General of our Luo Yun Tribe! Good kill! Good kill! Moreover, before he killed Jing Yun, he deliberately poked his eyes to blindness. That action was a revenge for me! Hahaha! Lu Bei, this old man, Lu Zhan now truly owes you one!” Lu Zhan laughed loudly. The pain of his blinded eye seemed to be not that painful anymore.

Lu Wan’er covered her mouth with her tiny hands with surprise while the Wind Demoness and the Flower Demoness were stupefied. It was their first time witnessing Ning Fan’s terrific means after spending quite a while with him.

“Lu Bei…He is really powerful…”

The green-robed lady stroked her sideburns with the tips of her fingers. Her countenance was visibly moved for the first time.

“Lu Bei… This person is nearly unscathed after killing Jing Yun. With that power, I suppose there won’t be more than 20 people who can win against him in the Second World… If he attains the Divine Transformation Realm, perhaps he will be unrivalled among the demons other than the Honorable Demon Generals… But he is still not a true demon after all. He might be able to defeat Jing Yun, but not Jin Qun. Even if he can win, it would be a grueling battle between the two. As for Li Ban…Can he even win against Li Ban?”

Above the vast sky, Lu Jiefen’s tiger-like eyes flashed with anger. To him, Demon General Jing Yun was an outstanding person with strong techniques. However, an exceptional subordinate like him had been killed by Ning Fan just now. How could he be not enraged?

But Lu Daochen who was standing in front of him made his expression become gloomy. He could not possibly enter the fire platform to interfere in the battle in Lu Daochen’s presence.

“Hehe. Flame General, please calm your anger. After the generals have stepped into the fire platform, their life and death will be decided by the Heavens. Since those who perished cannot be revived, if you want to blame it on someone, blame it on your own subordinate who was not as good as his opponent…” Lu Daochen blocked Lu Jiefen’s path without letting him take a step forward.

“Hmmph! Life and death decided by the Heavens… Fine! When your Lu Bei dies later in the hands of the Demon Generals from the Upper World, you, Lu Daochen, shouldn’t think of saving him either!”

Lu Jiefen’s eyes gleamed with cold light. He might not be able to kill Ning Fan with his own hands, but there were still two generals who could avenge Jing Yun on the fire platform.

Blue Flame Grass had been obtained.

Ning Fan raised his whip and pointed at Li Ban with his finger. Wearing a contemptuous look, he asked, “Are you the next one?”

The haughty expression on his face sparked off a new hatred within Li Ban while reminding the latter about the old grudges that had yet to be settled with Ning Fan, causing his heart to burn with wrath.

“Zhou Ming! I have no idea how you escaped death back in Great Jin but today, I will never let you go again. I will make sure you die right in front of me!”

He moved one step forward, but just as he was going to engage Ning Fan, Jin Qun stopped him.

“Let me deal with him!”

The golden-armored Demon General slowly entered the platform. His aura was becoming more and more concentrated.

From the way Ning Fan killed Jing Yun, Jin Qun realized that Ning Fan was indeed a powerful opponent. But he was still confident that he had the means to eliminate him.

“You can’t take on my spear!”

“Do you really think so…” Ning Fan sneered.

“You’re just courting death!”

Jin Qun’s eyes began to be filled with seriousness. Taking a large step forward, his body was gradually covered with golden fur, turning into a golden mastiff with sharp fangs.

He raised his hand into the air and rays of sunlight was absorbed into it, congealing into a dazzling golden spear. Slapping on the back of the spear, it turned into a flash of golden beam, propelling towards Ning Fan’s dantian.

“Demonic technique, Parting Sun Spear!”

The power of this golden spear formed from sunlight was comparable to that of the burning sun. Just now, it nearly killed Lu Qing.

This time, Jin Qun had even transformed into his demon manifestation to thrust the spear, intensifying the might of it and making it a few times stronger than the previous one.

Facing the incoming spear, Ning Fan’s gaze turned solemn for the first time. He summoned grey-colored flames on his palm and directly blocked against the tip of the spear.

Its temperature was as hot as the scorching sun. Within seconds, the skin on his palm was burnt.

Fortunately, it was just a wound on his physical body. With the help of his demon blood, it was recovered immediately.

He then used his palm to catch the spear following its momentum. With a speed akin to lightning, he held on to the tip of the spear and moved backwards for three steps to offset the force of propulsion.

His eyes began to appraise the spear.

The reason why it is so powerful is because it was conjured using the power of sunlight. Among the other demonic techniques of the same level, this technique is definitely peerless.

In order to break this technique, I must first extract the power of True Yang from within! [Lit: Yang = the sun]

“There’s a sun in the Northern Sea named Yin Rong and there’s thunder in the Northern Sea named Lei Tong…”

Recalling the mysterious incantations taught by Luo You in the past, Ning Fan recited it silently within his heart. Gradually, he felt that his palm which was encircled by grey flames was eroding the power of sunlight.

A great shock was felt in Jin Qun’s heart.

The temperature of the spear was extremely horrifying. Even Jin Qun knew that if he were the one who took the spear head-on with his own physical body, he would surely be burnt into ashes.

Ever since Jin Qun learned this demonic technique, he made huge contributions to his race by killing his enemies relying on that technique alone for countless times, though it would still be warded off by some experts. However, even ordinary experts who had achieved the Golden Body Refining Realm would not dare to directly confront the sunlight in their golden body form. They would at most use their demonic techniques to offset the power of Jin Qun’s spear.

Like Lu Qing, it was a vain attempt for him to directly take on the golden spear with his physical body which had attained the Jade Life Realm. As a result, one of his arms was burnt to nothingness.

But currently, Ning Fan had actually blocked this spear with just his palm!

What is that grey flame enveloping his palm? A demonic flame that is strong enough to withstand the scorching heat of sunlight… Could it be a Sixth Grade Spiritual Flame?!

Before he could figure it out, he saw Ning Fan grasping the golden spear and stopped its momentum after just retreating for three steps.

In his vision, Ning Fan seemed to have displayed some kind of secret art that was able to diminish the power of sunlight within the spear!

As the power of the spear was drawn away, half of an illusory star gradually congealed on his glabella.

Even though the star was yet to be in its complete form, it had already contained a remarkable ability called Yin Rong! (Lit: Eroding Yin)

The first star he congealed was an elemental star while the second star he congealed came with a unique ability.

After entering into the Secret Realm of the Broken World, Ning Fan had devoured innumerable demon blood. Under the nourishment of those demonic blood, his body refining realm had already achieved the borderline of advancing into the Second Level.

Shortly after the half of the second star was congealed, the barrier of his body refining realm broke through as well…

“Yin Rong… Using the thunder power of absolute yin to erode the sun… Although it has yet to completely congeal, the power of this eroding yin is exactly the natural restraint for all techniques that uses the power of the sun!”

The grey flame on his palm vanished. What replaced it was traces of blood-red lightning bolt.

Within a few breaths, there was a tremendous change happening within his body. After breaking through the barrier of his body refining realm, his current body refining realm advanced into the Second Level of Jade Life Realm!

Besides, on his glabella, there was already one and a half star!

“Break!”

All of his fingers gripped tightly and the spear cracked and fell apart, turning into broken fragments that shined with bright golden light!

Among the broken fragments, Ning Fan took a step forward, flapping his wings and vanishing in a cloud of smoke. In a flash, he had already appeared in front of Jin Qun, throwing a punch at him.

There was nothing fancy about this punch. It was just a simple punch with blood-red lightning flashes. Even so, it was enough to cause Jin Qun’s face to be filled with dread.

“What is that lightning?! It seems to be meant for neutralizing any ability using sunlight! The strength of this punch…It can’t be wrong…It’s the strength of a cultivator with Second Level of Jade Life Body Refining Realm! This punch is equal to a single strike of a Mid Divine Transformation Realm expert!”

Jin Qun hurriedly moved all his fingers to perform hand seals. His body emanated a dazzling ray of golden light and transformed into a golden mastiff. With his mouth wide open, he pounced towards Ning Fan.

“Demonic technique, Wood Crushing Golden House!”

As he changed his hand seals, his golden mastiff head split into tens of such head with each and every one of them radiating bright golden light.

However, all the clones of the golden mastiff were conjured using the power of the sun. As long as they came into contact with the blood-red lightning, every one of them shrieked in pain and was strangely melted away, being absorbed by the blood-red lightning as its power.

Divine thunder of absolute Yin, eroding the power of the sun!

“It’s bad. I can’t evade it!”

That punch accurately landed on his chest. His golden armor broke apart; his ribs, fractured.

Moreover, the punch was just like a lightning strike, violently tearing apart his internal organs after landing on his body.

*Puke*

In the incident where the World Passage collapsed, he did not suffer a single injury at all. However, after receiving a single blow from Ning Fan, he actually coughed out blood!

Jin Qun was pushed backwards for a thousand zhang* after receiving Ning Fan’s punch. With much effort, he stabilized himself. His eyes were filled with bewilderment.

How could I, a dignified Demon General from the Upper World, be defeated by a mere insignificant demon from the mortal world?!

“Blood Ignition!”

He had just awakened a complete drop of the Golden Mastiff Bloodline. Now, however, in order to win against Ning Fan, he chose to incinerate it.

In the province, each of the demons gasped in surprise. They had never expected that Jin Qun, who was a member of the Golden Mastiff Race, would be cornered to a point of burning his own immemorial demon bloodline by Ning Fan in just a brief moment.

After igniting his demon bloodline, Jin Qun’s body seemed to have transformed into glaring sunlight. Moving a step forward, his entire body disappeared on his original spot, leaving only his golden afterimage.

The increase in speed he temporarily obtained from sacrificing his demon blood was definitely able to rival Ning Fan in his demon wings!

Just as Jin Qun vanished, Ning Fan raised his eyebrows and his lips curved into a mocking smile.

The purple star within his left eye gleamed, allowing him to see through Jin Qun’s attack at a glance. He moved backwards for nine steps, charging the grand force of heaven and earth on the tip of his feet from each of the steps. When the ninth step landed on the ground, he lifted his foot and stomped the fire platform, pulverizing it!

At the same moment, below Ning Fan’s foot, a golden mastiff’s head drilled out from the ground. He was trying to sneak attack Ning Fan from underground.

However, before he could successfully ambush Ning Fan, the strength of the nine steps which was sharpened into becoming the sword of heaven and earth and the physical strength of Second Level of Jade Life Realm were all delivered unto Jin Qun’s demon body.

The power of this stomp was filled with tremendous sword qi. Countless blood-red lightning flashed around his foot.

With the ground below his foot as the center, countless rifts were formed along the platform to the sky in all directions. Under that stomp, Jin Qun’s demon body was pulverized into blood mist. Even his demon soul was grievously injured under that attack!

The fire platform reformed!

He stepped on Jin Qun’s demon soul with his foot on top of the platform. His eyes stared down at the miniature demon soul, as if he was looking down at an inconsequential being.

That look of contempt on Ning Fan’s face scarred Jin Qun’s pride, infuriating the latter. However, he could not even move a single muscle as he was being pinned down like a dead dog under Ning Fan’s foot in his demon soul form.

Jin Qun was enraged, completely enraged!

“Lu Bei! Lu Bei! If you dare to hurt me, one day when you ascend to the Immortal Demon World, the seniors of my race will kill you for sure to avenge me! I am a Demon General from the Upper World! If you dare to kill me, just wait for you and nine generations of your family to be massacred and annihilated! Now, I am giving you a chance. Let me go, kowtow to me ten thousand times and surrender in this battle! Then I will have mercy on you and spare your life!”

Jin Qun was extremely conceited!

It was because he was confident that Ning Fan was not bold enough to kill him! Besides, he was different from Jing Yun. Jing Yun was a Demon General from the Pure Flame Tribe. His supporter was just the Pure Flame Tribe. There would be no big deal in killing him. However, Jin Qun was backed by the entire Golden Mastiff Race!

Killing one mastiff would be equivalent to offending ten thousand mastiffs! Therefore, he was sure that Ning Fan would be afraid in taking his life!

Hearing Jin Qun’s wild and arrogant tone, the killing intent within Ning Fan’s eyes became more intense. But he did not immediately crush Jin Qun to death. On the contrary, he lifted his head and laughed at the sky while fearlessly staring at Lu Jiefen.

Then he shifted his gaze towards the entire province below him and spoke with a thunderous voice.

“This demon, Jin Qun, might be a demon from the Immortal World. He might be a member of the Golden Mastiff Race. But he has brought troubles to our Luo Yun Tribe, harmed Lu Qing and even threatened all of us… Shouldn’t a criminal like him deserve some punishment?!”

That question swept across the province like a typhoon.

Shouldn’t Jin Qun deserve some punishment?!

Before Ning Fan voiced out that question, no one dared to hurt the generals from the Immortal Demon World even if they ceremoniously humiliated the Honorable Demon General in the province.

However, after Ning Fan blocked the golden spear with his palm, crushed the golden light with his punch and stepped on Jin Qun with his foot, his commendable power and valor had ignited the righteousness within every last one of the demons of the Luo Yun Tribe. His influence enabled the mortal demons who had grown used to resigning themselves to adversity and behave in a lowly demeanor to finally vent out all the discontentment within their hearts!

So what if they are Demon Generals from the Immortal World…

Why are they more superior than us?!

“Based on the teachings of the Demon Ancestor, the men of the demon race shall not fear the heavens nor the earth…So why do we even have to fear the Demon Generals from the Upper World?!”

“Demon General Bei, please execute this evil demon to establish he might of our Luo Yun Tribe and take revenge for me!” Lu Qing who had lost one of his arms shouted with great passion.

While pressing his wounds with the other hand, his eyes glared angrily at Jin Qun, feeling extremely pleased with what he was seeing.

After his words, a chant echoed throughout the entire province like a tidal wave.

“Kill!”

“Kill!!”

“Kill!!!”

A satisfying smile appeared on Lu Daochen’s face.

“This Lu Bei is rather prudent… Knowing that killing the Demon Generals from the Immortal World is a heavy crime, he is still afraid that I might set him up even though the life and death contracts had been signed. Therefore, he ignited the anger within the demons of the Luo Yun Tribe, binding all of them with him by filling them with a common hatred… Since Jing Yun had blinded Lu Zhan’s eye, he avenged him by poking both of Jing Yun’s eyes to blindness. On the other hand, Jin Qun cut off Lu Qing’s arm, he crushed his demonic body… Destroying Jin Qun’s demonic body is equivalent to establishing a blood feud with him. Therefore, Lu Bei will of course finish Jin Qun off, so that he doesn’t leave trouble for himself in the future. But before he kills Jin Qun, he deliberately prompted Lu Qing to speak and planting the seed of hatred within the Luo Yun demons… This person also intends to share the crime of killing Jin Qun with the entire Luo Yun Tribe… He really is a crafty and cautious person…”

The chant became louder and faster, reverberating through the whole province.

At this moment, Ning Fan lowered his gaze and coldly stared at Jin Qun.

From Ning Fan’s gaze, Jin Qun who was originally proud and conceited felt death was slowly approaching him.

The coldness from his gaze would make one’s skin tighten up and shiver all over even though it was not cold…

The ferocity in his gaze would make one unable to breath, wheezing arduously for air…

This Lu Bei wants to kill me?! Why? How come?! Unless he is a fool, no one would dare to kill me, knowing perfectly well that I am a member of a True Spirit Race!

Fear began to creep into Jin Qun’s heart.

He was afraid now!

He felt like his background, his supporter and the qualifications that allowed him to act in a disdainful demeanor were all ridiculous jokes in front of Ning Fan.

He is a madman! A MADMAN!!

Doesn’t he think about the consequences of killing a person?!

“Lu…General Lu, let’s… talk properly…” Under the sound of the thunderous chant, Jin Qun’s demon soul trembled in fear.

“I have nothing to say anymore… Die!”

He lifted his foot and brutally stomped on Jin Qun, completely squashing his demon soul!

He then opened his mouth, swallowed the demon soul including the blood mist into his abdomen.

It’s such a pity that I didn’t search his soul first. Or else I will have known quite a lot of secrets about the Upper World.

However, in a situation like this, Ning Fan did not have the time to calm his heart down and slowly search one’s soul.

If he didn’t kill Jin Qun’s demon soul without any hesitation, the chances of killing him would slip away if Lu Jiefen decides to intervene and save him…

One of the Demon Generals form the Immortal Demon World had been defeated!

At the moment when he was finally killed, the demons in the province let out deafening cheers.

“General Bei is mighty!”

Actually, the demon race should never be restricted by the ranks in the first place.

A demon who did not have a fearless and indomitable spirit was never qualified to be a demon to begin with!

In the cheers of the crowd, Yao Fei’s face revealed more awe and admiration.

“Spirit King… If it wasn’t because His Majesty was being plotted against and suffered a severe injury until today, perhaps His Majesty might also be as awe-inspiring as him in the Immortal Demon World…His Majesty would never have allowed the True Spirit Races like the Dragon Race to behave like this…”

After obtaining Jin Qun’s storage pouch, Ning Fan scanned through it and found a volume of cultivation method among the numerous items within. It recorded a Mid- Grade Divine Transformation Realm demonic technique, Parting Sun Spear…

The spear of sunlight was not weak. For Ning Fan who had yet to learn any powerful demonic techniques, it was quite a good choice. After all, not every demon knew about the incantations of Yin Rong… (Lit: Eroding Yin)

Half of the second divine star on his glabella was congealed. The ability that contained within him was Yin Rong! (Lit: Eroding Yin)

Besides, within the battle, his body refining realm had broken through the bottleneck, advancing into the Second Level of Jade Life Realm!

Now, Ning Fan walked towards Li Ban step by step as a tremendous Baleful Qi seethed within him.

As for Li Ban, he unknowingly retreated half a step!

His mind was in a chaotic situation as if it was buffeted by a storm surge!

“He really is Zhou Ming… that Harmonious Spirit Realm ant that was unable to withstand a single blow?! Today, he has already gotten so terrifyingly strong!”

In the meantime, Li Ban did not notice that his palms were already dripping with cold sweat!

His pride might not allow him to fear an ant from the mortal world but his body was shuddering in fear uncontrollably!

I will lose… I will lose…

If I fight him on my own, I will never be his match. I will end up getting killed!

As such, don’t blame me for being mean!

“Demon partners, in formation!”

He slapped on his storage pouch with a malicious expression, traces of demon shadows emerged on the fire platform, surrounding Ning Fan in the center.

Hundreds of demons were all emanating Nascent Soul Realm qi!

However, each and every one of the demons had the bodies of beasts. They were not demon partners in human form like the Wind Demoness and Flower Demoness. Instead, they were his demon beast partners…

“This Li Ban has so many demon partners?!” Lu Daochen’s eyes shined with surprise. A Demon General from the Upper World would be considered an extraordinary being for having tens of demon partners.

Demons partners were actually the servants that were arranged for the generals by their race.

Having so many demon partners under his possession was enough to prove how important Li Ban was to his race in the Immortal Demon World…

Aside from that, Lu Daochen had also heard about the ten Demon Generals from the Upper World who arrived at the Second World. Among them, the general with the highest cultivation level was Wang Xiao, who had attained the Late Divine Transformation Realm.

On the other hand, among the ten of them, the one who was thought to be the most highly of by their own races was Li Ban!

But before he had even fought Ning Fan, he called out hundreds of Nascent Soul Realm demon partners. It was an act of showing his weakness while at the same time, reflecting how crooked he was…

“This demon’s identity is rather unique… I wonder if Lu Bei is daring enough to kill him like Jin Qun… If he doesn’t possess that courage, I’m afraid he won’t be qualified enough to stand on the Star of the Celestial Emperor, let alone save Demon Marshal Lu…”

Outside the Encompassing Heaven Hall, the Wind Demoness and the Flower Demoness appeared to be feeling pained and bitter.

Demon General Li Ban is still as cold as usual. Summoning hundreds of Nascent Soul Realm demon partners and letting them all die without feeling any heartache…

Perhaps this person has completely forgotten that he once had two demon partners who were formed from a camellia flower and a hyacinth…

Our new master is different… Although he has more than a thousand Gold Core Realm and Harmonious Spirit Realm human cauldrons in his Cauldron Ring, he has never once thought of sacrificing them…

If we weren’t abducted by him, perhaps we would have already become Li Ban’s sacrificial tools and died in a battlefield somewhere…

“Master, don’t lose …”

The two demoness closed their eyes and prayed, hoping that Ning Fan would be able to achieve victory in this battle and kill Li Ban.

They knew Li Ban’s personality very well. He would seek revenge even for the smallest grievances. If he wasn’t killed, he might bring Ning Fan endless troubles in the future…

On the fire platform, Ning Fan disregarded the hundreds of Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts.

He walked through the group of demon beasts like walking through a field without any impediment. Every demon beast which sprang on him were all effortlessly eliminated with just a single palm of his hand.

One step, two steps, three steps…

Four steps, five steps, six steps…

Seven steps, eight steps, nine steps!

Nine Step, Sky Treader. The grand force of heaven and earth which was amassed throughout the nine steps transformed into a sword!

At the same time, a circle which emanated the force of the sword seemed to emerge around Ning Fan’s body.

Gradually, the circle spread to all directions. The demon beasts that were caught inside the circle were all shredded into blood mist and died instantly.

Among the Four Swords of Nascent Soul1, the strongest technique was the Heart Drawing Sword.

Nine Steps: Sky Treader was considered as the weakest technique among the four but this was the only technique that was invented by Ning Fan himself!

After a number of times in displaying this technique, he became more and more proficient in it.

Besides, when this technique was used and the grand force of heaven and earth formed into a circle, there was a profound but abstruse sword intent rising within Ning Fan’s heart. However, he could not tell what it was.

In this short period of time, he was unable to comprehend it.

But once he comprehends it and attains the Divine Transformation Realm, he would then be regarded as a Divine Transformation Realm sword cultivator who has comprehended the true sword intent.

The Heavenly Dao was a circle…

In fact, the force of the sword which had formed a circle faintly contained the Great Dao within it.

“Exterminate!”

Ning Fan’s eyes turned cold. The circle suddenly enlarged, encompassing the vicinity of a thousand li*!

The hundreds of demon beasts were paralyzed like statues. The next moment, every last one of them were cut into pieces and died.

A tremendous gust of Violent Qi rose high into the air!

“Li Ban, do you still have any other techniques to display? If not, you won’t have the chance to use them anymore…”

“Zhou Ming! Don’t be cocky! They were just mere Nascent Soul Realm demon partners. There is no big deal in killing them! As a matter of fact, it’s my intention to let you kill them… With all the blood as offering, only then would I be able to summon the Wild Beasts!”

Li Ban slapped the demon collecting bag on his waist. Two traces of extremely ferocious qi of Wild Beasts gradually concentrated amidst the blood mist.

The first one was the demon soul of a blood dragon while the second one was the demon soul of a black dragon!

Both of them were Wild Beasts!

The two demon souls were crazily devouring the blood mist to congeal their demon bodies.

A short while later, both of them managed to condense a half-illusory dragon body and dragon shadow.

The blood dragon disdainfully shot a cold glance at Ning Fan.

As for the black dragon, it greedily looked at Li Ban while smiling ingratiatingly.

“Hehe. Big Brother Li Ban. This little brother is Black Tooth. It’s nice seeing you… Tell me, who do you want me to kill? I will surely not disappoint you! But, hehe, when we go back to the Immortal Demon World, could Big Brother help me say some good words about me in front of the Dragon Marshal? When will this little brother’s term of imprisonment end and be released to return to the Dragon Race…”

“Kill this man and I will put in a good word for you!”

“Very well. This person huh? A mere Nascent Soul Realm small demon like him is just this little brother’s dish that goes with wine!”

The black dragon flashed and soared into the sky, looking down on Ning Fan.

Its presence gave out the prestige of a Mid Divine Transformation Realm Wild Beast!

This was a True Wild Beast. Moreover, it possessed the immemorial demon bloodline of the Dragon Race!

Lu Daochen’s eyes widened with great surprise.

Li Ban’s identity is truly not simple at all!

He was even given two sinful dragon souls for self-protection!

His backer in the Dragon Race is a little too powerful…

Thoughtlessly, his eyes flashed with a hint of worry.

Lu Daochen had never thought that Li Ban would come from such a powerful background. Having two Wild Beasts as his fighter with one of them even being at the Mid Divine Transformation Realm!

In that case, he is definitely not Li Ban’s match… If he fights, he will probably end up…dead!

This man is my last hope in fulfilling the last wish of Demon Marshal Lu…He can’t…I can’t let him die!

“Lu Bei! This old man admits defeat for this battle. You quickly leave the fire platform!”

Lu Daochen’s words surprised Ning Fan. From the beginning up until now, he was not able to see through Lu Daochen’s intention. Now, however…

Lu Daochen is trying to protect me?

This time, it was Lu Daochen’s turn to save his man.

But how could Lu Jiefen possibly allow Lu Daochen to do what he wished?

“Hehe. The life and death of the contenders on the fire platform is determined by the Heavens. Lu Daochen, don’t tell me you want to destroy the fairness of this battle…”

“Fairness?! How is it fair when there are three of them versus one of my general?!”

“Who says that one can’t obtain help by summoning the beasts on the fire platform?”

Lu Jiefen gave him a vicious smile. He eagerly looked forward to see Ning Fan being torn to pieces by Li Ban and his two dragons.

Lu Wan’er was panicking. From her perspective, no matter how strong Ning Fan might be, he would never be a match for three Divine Transformation Realm experts at once. Moreover, there was a Mid Divine Transformation Realm Wild Beast among them!

“Elder Sister Yao Fei. Currently, it’s only you who can save Lu Bei. As long as you save him, I am willing to… I am willing to join the Spirit King Palace and become your slave or maidservant…”

The green-dressed lady was at a loss and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Joining the Spirit King Palace and become a slave or maidservant…

Sister Wan’er is indeed an honest but silly girl… How many people had tried but none of them were able to join the Spirit King Palace… However, since she was a good person, if she really joins the Spirit King Palace, it would be Yao Fei taking advantage of her…

But her decision of giving up her everything for Ning Fan made Yao Fei be carried away…

“Is he really worth you sacrificing so much for him? With your appearance, if you are chosen by the Spirit King, you will be kept inside the palace wall and become an imperial concubine. After that, you will never share a relationship with Lu Bei anymore… Won’t you regret your decision?”

“What? I need to be an imperial concubine?” Lu Wan’er bit her lips. Of course, she was unaware that her Elder Sister Yao Fei was just joking with her.

“If it can save his life…then…then…I won’t regret it…”

*Sigh* Silly girl. In this Land of Slumber, I don’t have a single relative nor kin… Only you are what I consider as my blood sister… How could I possibly watch the person you love die just like that…even though he is…a person from a different race…”

The lady in the green dress let out a sigh and began to step forward to Ning Fan’s aid.

But as she just moved half a step, she paused, with her eyes full of astonishment.

On the fire platform, Ning Fan stared at the black dragon, the blood dragon and Li Ban who was grinning hideously. His expression was full of contempt.

“Interesting. I really have no idea that we can request for help in a battle like this… By the way, Li Ban, it’s not only you who have Divine Transformation Realm helpers!”

With a shake of his Cauldron Ring and his Yuan Yao Jade, the female corpse and Stone Warrior appeared on the fire platform! The two of them emanated a heart-shaking Divine Transformation Realm qi.

Among them, Stone Warrior was a puppet who had an aura that was not any weaker than Li Ban’s!

Under Ning Fan’s inducement, the female corpse who was a corpse devil unleashed her Mid Divine Transformation Realm aura!

In just a short moment, Li Ban’s smirk hardened. His countenance changed drastically.

“A Mid Divine Transformation Realm refined corpse and an Early Divine Transformation Realm spiritual puppet?! Impossible! How could you, a mere ant from the mortal world have them?!”

Now, the situation was completely reversed!
