Grasping Evil

“Body refining techniques sure are powerful…if my escaping light was faster and my body refining technique was stronger, it wouldn’t be hard for me to get rid of Bai Feiteng in one strike… This is how the ancient Fiendgods fought in battle!”

Fervent emotion flashed past Ning Fan’s eyes as there were numerous thousands-meters-size Fiendgods that could destroy the Immortal Cave Star with just a single punch in Ancient Chaos’ memory!

He retracted his magical body and gently let out a mouthful of breath. Then, he put away the huge sword and spat out the starlight Separation Flying Sword.

He stared at Revered Bai indifferently. It drew fear out of Revered Bai’s grim face and caused him to move half a step backwards.

That was fright. The previous collisions between their swords, physical power and magical strength terrified Bai Feiteng!

He made a chant in his heart to brush off the fear and recover his cold and proud expression.

I still have the Myriad Soul Streamer and Purple Loathe Ice Frost. Besides, I have already used the Breaking Illusion Bead. He won’t be able to get near me with that concealing technique anymore. As such, I WONT LOSE!

Pride and self-confidence once again surfaced on Revered Bai’s face. Although it wasn’t as strong and firm as before, it had won Ning Fan’s respect for the first time.

Regardless of what cultivation this man had, he was an old expert who had lived hundreds of years; his mental state was extremely calm. If there was one thing that made Ning Fan inferior to Bai Feiteng, it would be Ning Fan’s mental state. Because Ning Fan had yet to eliminate his own Heart’s Devil and form the Gold Core, his mental state would never be as firm as Revered Bai.

However, while in battle, one shouldn’t focus on weakness but strength! One would only need to use his strongest skill to determine the result. As for those foolish mortals, even though they learned everything about Poetry, Documents, Rites and Changes, they weren’t proficient in any of those studies, which one would doubt if any of those knowledge could be put to use.

Ning Fan removed all the worries about incompetence, and indistinctly, this enhanced his mental state once more.

I’d be regarded as strong if I can defeat my enemy! Even if my mental state , cultivation law and experience isn’t as great and powerful as his!

Ning Fan’s expression changed dramatically. Those Harmonious Spirit cultivators might not know that Ning Fan’s mental state had already improved, but for the Gold Core experts, each and every one of them knew that this was the sign of a mental state breakthrough.

This kid must have monstrous talent to be able to achieve a breakthrough in battle!

Except for Bai Feiteng whose eyelids twitched, seeming as if he had returned to his usual temperament, couldn’t accept the fact that Ning Fan alone was receiving all the praises.

Just a deliberate attempt to mystify all the people! This time, this old man will never give you the chance to use your body refining technique. This old man will let you know the scariness of my Myriad Soul Streamer!

His face darkened. He patted his storage pouch and took out a blood-red soul streamer. It glittered with brilliance and its rolling Evil Qi rushed forward. Within it was the sound of the gloomy cries of ghosts and this made people wonder how many lives Revered White had killed and what was the total number of souls in the soul streamer.

As the soul streamer was summoned out, astonishment glinted in the old experts’ eyes. They couldn’t believe that Revered White used his most powerful magical treasure, the Myriad Soul Streamer, on the second round of battle! How could a Harmonious Spirit junior force him to such an extent?!

A moment later, after a slight hesitation, Bai Feiteng immediately took out a black heavy armour and draped it over his shoulder.

“This is… the Profound Heavy Amor, a Peak Gold Rank Spirit Equipment! It can block the full-fledged attack of an intermediate Gold Core expert.”

Those old experts, one after another, narrowed their eyes into a slit, especially the old enemy of Revered Bai – Elder Song Feng.

“Old man Bai, I didn’t expect you to have such spirit equipments. If you had these items back in our battle, I would have been defeated by you. Truly, you are a person who keeps your own counsel…”

Bai Feiteng’s heart settled down after summoning the Myriad Soul Streamer and Profound Heavy Armour. It was insulting enough for him to use these two trump cards, if he still couldn’t defeat Ning Fan after this, he should just get a beancurd and knocked his head to death!

He stared sneeringly at Ning Fan, however, he couldn’t detect any sign of fear in Ning Fan’s eyes.

Ning Fang glanced at the two magical treasures of Revered Bai disdainfully.

Myriad Soul Streamer… it was created out of tens of thousands of souls and blood. Once it is casted out, even a late Gold Core cultivator would find it hard to deal with it… however, it isn’t difficult for me to break it! That Profound Heavy Armour is just like a turtle shell. Although there’s only a minor difference between his Peak Gold Rank Spirit Equipment and the Profound Jade, unfortunately, it would be just a piece of cake to break it as well!

No boiling combat intent or nervousness could be found in Ning Fan’s eyes, except composure. Wang Yao was able to send a sense of danger and crisis down Ning Fan’s spine, but apparently, Revered Bai was still far from creating such an impact.

“With your current state, you can still go if you choose to give up now…”

Ning Fan’s tone was flat, but this undoubtedly made Revered Bai the laughing stock of others.

“My current state? I have already summoned my trump cards. You must be joking! You are nothing without your body refining technique!”

Bai Feiteng swung the soul streamer. Innumerable wailing ghosts with empty eye sockets and bloody teeth drifted towards Ning Fan like a bank of dark cloud.

The strength of each of these souls was only at the Seventh Level Vein Opening. To Harmonious Spirit and Gold Core experts, killing these ghosts would be a piece of cake, however, the distinguishing feature of this streamer was that the ghosts inside was limitless and inexhaustible!

Ten thousand ants could bite an elephant to death and ten thousand ghosts could devour an immortal Buddha completely! If Ning Fan couldn’t break the master soul, he would fall into a dangerous situation.

The master soul had the ability to control all the other souls. Any soul streamer that had a master soul was considered an excellent grade soul streamer. Lu Ziqiao’s Soul Tempering Streamer had numerous souls but because it lacked the mighty master soul, the power of his steamer was not  on par with Bai Feiteng’s.

As long as the master soul remained, the number of souls would never decrease. This was what made the soul streamer hard to deal with. The unceasing production of souls was enough to drain a person’s energy to nothing.

Furthermore, the moment those thousands of souls charged out, it would be hard to find the master soul within a short period of time, as it could also possibly be hiding in the streamer.

Each and every old expert felt a tingling sensation running through their scalp as they watched and heard the wailing ghosts. Soul Tempering cultivators were the hardest to deal with while Corpse Seizing cultivators were the most difficult to kill. The longer the Soul Tempering cultivator entangled its opponent in battle, the more powerful the Soul Tempering cultivator would become. The number of souls could grow to a hundred thousand, a million, ten million or even one billion!

The more souls there were, the greater the variation and power, but its number would be too much in the end.

“There’s nothing more to watch about this kid…” Elder Song Feng closed his eyes and knitted his brows. He had once suffered a great loss under Revered Bai’s soul streamer. So naturally, he wouldn’t expect Ning Fan to have a better outcome.

“He’s worthy of being called Revered Bai. With this soul streamer, no intermediate Gold Core expert would be a match for him!” The deacon disciple, Lu Ziqiao, revealed a face of excitement. Despite his superciliousness, he had great admiration for Revered Bai.

But immediately, agonizing wails of ghosts were heard, prompting Elder Song Feng to open his eyes and stare at the battlefield unblinkingly!

He saw that Ning Fan had discerned the master soul without attempting to dodge the souls.

With just a flick of his finger, the Separation Slayer turned into boundless starlight and shot ahead. One by one, the ghosts began to burn.

In an instant, half of the thousands of souls were incinerated. Ordinary souls were ignorant about the flames except for the red-clothed child among them, it revealed an astonished eyes and headed back to the Myriad Soul Streamer.

This child was the master soul as it was the only one that had intelligence!

“Extinguish!”

Ning Fan was quick to respond. He flicked his finger and the flying sword jabbed itself into the child’s body, causing the master soul to disintegrate.

Along with the fall of the master soul, a miserable cry was heard from Revered Bai’s Myriad Soul Streamer. Countless fractures appeared in the streamer. Every soul exploded and turned into soul energy and returned to the soul streamer.

Similarly, the Myriad Soul Streamer was damaged greatly!

“No, no! This old man’s Myriad Soul Streamer! Ning Fan, you have gone too far! The Fall of Ice Sun!”

Bai Feiteng kept his Myriad Soul Streamer furiously; purple light glowed intensely in his eyes!

Both of his hands performed incantation gestures. High above in the sky, the cold Qi churned and converged and formed into a 300 meter sun!

The sun was completely composed of cold Qi, the purple colored cold Qi.

“The Fall of Ice Sun – a core intermediate grade magical technique. Isn’t this the special technique of Yang Qing Old Monster? Rumor has it that Yang Qing was killed a hundred years ago and the existence of this technique had remained a mystery. Unexpectedly, the one who killed the old monster was Revered Bai!”

“This purple Qi is… a fourth grade cold Qi! The Purple Loathe Ice Frost!”

For the first time, a feeling of oppression was stirred inside Ning Fan, even though it was just a small trace.

His eyes turned grim, knowing that to break this ice sun, he would have to use the Black Demon Flame.

“It won’t be hard to break this ice sun using the second revolution Dragon Vortex Fire…”

Ning Fan’s eyes twitched. Just as he was about to cast the spell, he heard a surprised voice coming from the Yin Yang Locket inside his dantian. It was the voice of the mysterious girl who was supposed to be in deep slumber.

“This is… the Purple Loathe Ice Frost! Ning Fan, seize it as it has a great use to this sister!”

“Seize it? I may have a high chance of breaking it, but seizing it… you think I’m a Nascent Soul cultivator? How could I possibly seize it away from Bai Feiteng?” Ning Fan smiled bitterly in his heart.

“I beg you… this item is extremely important to sister…” The mysterious girl, despite being a figure of veneration, pleaded to Ning Fan for the first time.

“Uh… fine. I will do you this favour, but how can I seize it…?” Ning Fan’s heart softened. This girl had already saved him several times in times of crisis. How could he refuse her request? If the mysterious girl really had no way of seizing it herself, she could only rely on Ning Fan to do so. It didn’t matter even if this would expose his trump card. Once he used his trump card, it would only be a piece of cake to seize the ice frost!

“There’s no need to be this troublesome… sister has a way. Suck away the ice frost and break the magical spell. All you have to do is to race into the ice sun.”

Racing into the ice sun!

Ning Fan’s eyelids twitched. This was a core intermediate grade magical technique and was casted using the fourth grade cold Qi, which was fairly similar to the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi.

Should he trust this girl and risk his life…?

“I beg you…”

“Only once!”

Ning Fan’s eyes turned resolute. If something went wrong the moment he entered the ice sun, he would have to cast the Sense Defence Art.

Although he would be badly injured, he wouldn’t die… Despite that, he would trust this girl this time and return her a favour!
