Grasping Evil

"Hehe. General Bei has excellent skills. You already have a Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivation. I presume that I might not necessarily be able to win against you even if you don't borrow power from your spiritual puppets… However, I still recommend that we should join hands together for this mission. I wonder what do all of you think? Are there still any objections?"

Lu Jiefen's eyes flashed with a hint of dread which was so faint that it was barely perceptible. It was his first time feeling fear towards Ning Fan after he had revealed his true power.

Prior to this, he originally still had the intention to seek trouble with Ning Fan. Currently, however, Lu Jiefen no longer harbored the idea of antagonizing Ning Fan.

"This man has just broken through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm and he could already display the Wind Snow Finger which could grievously injure a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert. If he breaks through to the Late Stage or even the Peak Stage of Divine Transformation Realm, isn't he going to be invincible among the cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm! Moreover, with the two Half-Step Void Refinement Realm refined corpse and spiritual puppet, this man alone has the combat power equivalent to three Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts… He's someone not to be trifled with. Besides, after his trip in the Star Palace, he would certainly return to the Endless Sea and continue his identity as Zhou Ming… Unless I successfully attain the Void Refinement Realm, it's inappropriate for me to offend him again…"

Lu Jiefen's mind was flooded with thoughts. He was a person who prioritized material gains. In order to achieve his objective, he would never hesitate to adopt any means, regardless of whether it was fair or foul, just like how he turned his back on his old associates to try to seize the Dao Fruit of Blood Wolf. Now, after sensing that Dao Fruit has already been consumed by Ning Fan, he found that there was not any benefit in continuing to be hostile towards the latter. With no qualms, he immediately let go of his plans to continue opposing Ning Fan.

It was what he had learned from his experience in the Endless Sea throughout his journey of climbing up to the pinnacle of power.

There was not a permanent enemy. There were only long-lasting benefits.

Lu Jiefen had already shown the white flag towards Ning Fan. As for Qu Shun, however, his eyes remained abstruse and indiscernible. Neither joy nor anger could be seen from his eyes. With an indifferent tone, he said, "There are some old scores between me and General Bei. However, most of them are not worth mentioning. To gain the emperor's star and kill the Wolf King, this prince is willing to join forces with General Bei."

Prince Qu Shun had already regarded Ning Fan as his greatest rival. A rival is not an enemy. Instead, a rival is someone who must be surpassed.

"Lu Bei will be the strongest opponent that I'll ever meet before my ascension. There's no doubt about it! I might have been cultivating bitterly in the demon world for countless years, but he… It won't take long before his name will be spread across the Rain World!" Qu Shun muttered to himself with firm confidence.

Both Lu Jiefen and Qu Shun had the idea of cooperating with Ning Fan. As such, the members of the White Devil Sect did not feel good to oppose their ideas.

"Hmph! Before killing the Wolf King, I, Lin Su, am willing to 'temporarily' work together with General Bei!"

The word 'temporarily' was uttered cynically by him. Those with discerning eyes would know that once they successfully eliminate the Wolf King, there would certainly be a dispute between the White Devil Sect and Ning Fan.

"I wonder if General Bei agrees with the idea of joining hands with us?!" Lu Jiefen chuckled in a friendly manner.

"Do you think I have any reason to refuse? It's always better to have more people. However, after killing the Wolf King and obtaining the key, how should we distribute it? Moreover, during our mission, if there is someone who harbors private grudges against me and ambushes me, how should we deal with it?"

"Hehe. If the Wolf King dies, it would depend on our own capabilities to decide to whom the key would finally belong… General Bei, isn't this what you have in mind?" Lu Jiefen did not give him a straight answer. However, from the words he said, he had revealed the fact that their cooperation would only last until the Wolf King is killed. After that, it would have to depend on themselves to contend for the key of the Star Palace!

Lu Jiefen certainly had no idea that the key was already in Ning Fan's hands. At the next moment, his facial expression darkened and continued speaking, "As for General Bei's concern, to be honest, it is also what's bothering me. Before the Wolf King is killed, we are in an alliance. We should cast aside all the grudges and resentment that we have for each other. If anyone carries their personal grudges and initiates a personal fight during the mission, I will be the first one to kill him!"

Lu Jiefen's words were obviously talking to the members of the White Devil Sect.

Upon hearing his words, Lin Su's eyes narrowed with gloominess and snorted coldly. As for the two elderly men behind him immediately took a step forward and said with dissatisfaction, "Don't worry! We have a good sense of propriety! Lu Bei has his concerns, both of us also have ours. Killing the Wolf King is an important matter. We hope that someone should not be hiding their true power under their sleeves. If anyone has spiritual puppets or refined corpses, they should take it out as soon as we fight!"

The two elderly men were still brooding over how they were ambushed by Ning Fan's black dragon and puppet.

"Hehe. Then it's really my fault for that incident earlier. I also didn't expect that two Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts would actually disregard their self-respect and intervene in the single-move competition between me and Lin Su just now… This topic ends here. I am not going to conceal anything else under my sleeve!"

Ning Fan's facial expression remained unchanged. With a slap on his storage pouch, he took out nine Divine Transformation Realm spiritual puppets excluding Stone Warrior without having any reservations.

He was not afraid that Qu Shun would see through the backgrounds of this group of spiritual puppets. Perhaps at the moment when the black puppet had come into action, Qu Shun had already noticed some inklings and he just did not reveal it. After all, so what if he had killed the experts from the Puppet Spirit Race? The ten Divine Transformation Realm experts who descended to the mortal world from the Upper World all died in Ning Fan's hands. Since it already could not be concealed, what's the point of concealing it anymore?

However, as soon as the spiritual puppets were shown, the two elderly men's faces were filled with a ghastly expression as if they had just swallowed a bunch of flies.

Even the Honorable Demon Generals including Lu Jiefen could not help but feel astonished.

Each of the nine spiritual puppets were all at the Divine Transformation Realm cultivation level without exception. Moreover, the one with the weakest cultivation level among the group was at the Mid Divine Transformation Realm! It was a being which was comparable to an Honorable Demon General!

"This Lu Bei actually has so many Divine Transformation Realm spiritual puppets!"

Among the helpers whom Lu Jiefen had invited, Prince Qu Shun's group had seven Divine Transformation Realm experts, while the White Devil Sect had nine experts at that cultivation level inclusive of Lin Su and the two elderly men, hundreds of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. In total, there were 18 Divine Transformation Realm experts!

As for Lu Jiefen's clone who held the title of Honorable Demon General, he had carefully kept it away, worrying that it would receive some injuries and thus disrupting his great plan of breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm.

On Ning Fan's side, the eight Honorable Demon Generals were just regarded as eight Divine Transformation Realm experts. As for Ning Fan alone, he had brought along five Divine Transformation Realm women, one black dragon and one black puppet. Currently, he has taken out another nine Divine Transformation Realm spiritual puppets!

As such, Ning Fan's group consisted of 26 Divine Transformation Realm beings!

"This young man has been keeping his trump cards so deeply concealed…" Lu Daochen let out a sigh of relief and smiled. To him, the current Ning Fan was no longer the reckless little Nascent Soul Realm kid who intruded on the Northern Desert City.

Now, he alone was able to lead a battle formation consisting of 26 Divine Transformation Realm experts!

One has to know that in the Luo Yun Tribe, there were just eight Divine Transformation Realm experts!

One has to know that in the External Endless Sea, there were only thirteen Divine Transformation Realm experts in all of the ten sects and three islands!

Lin Su's eyes were filled with envy.

In order to seize the emperor's star in the mortal world, he could only bring out 8 Divine Transformation Realm experts from the White Devil Sect after using his connections.

However, with just a wave of his hand, Ning Fan could call upon so many helpers… It actually caused Lin Su's pride to suffer a great blow!

Facing Ning Fan's mightiness, Wu Yan and Yue Lingkong had already grown numbed about it. Xi Ran and Yuan Yao, however, were different.

Xi Ran's eyes grew brighter and clearer as if there were tiny stars twinkling within them. She loved it the most seeing Ning Fan in the limelight.

Yuan Yao pondered for a while. At first glance, she noticed that the cultivation level of this group of spiritual puppets had traces of being upgraded before.

It was an extremely terrifying matter! What's terrifying was not about the upgrades of the spiritual puppets. Instead, the scary part was how many Divine Transformation Realm experts were killed in order to accumulate enough souls to feed this group of spiritual puppets!

"A Divine Transformation Realm expert is also considered an outstanding being in any country or stars in the Four Heavens. However, in Lu Bei's hands, hundreds of Divine Transformation Realm experts' lives are just food to feed his spiritual puppets? Besides, the black crescent mark on the left part of these puppets' faces gave me a blood-curdling sensation. What exactly are those? Is it the method Lu Bei uses to manipulate these spiritual puppets? He is indeed a little monster. Unfortunately, he was born in the mortal world…"

On Qu Shun's side, the seven Divine Transformation Realm followers' eyes widened with shock. They were frightened by the mighty aura being emanated by the group of spiritual puppets. As for Prince Qu Shun, his eyes remained calm as if he was thinking deeply about something.

"In the past, when I saw the black puppet, I already felt that it was familiar. Now, after seeing these nine spiritual puppets… It can't be wrong. They are the puppets from the Puppet Spirit Race. Apparently, the last two demon generals of the Puppet Spirit Race which fortunately survived on the Cloud Platform also died in Ning Fan's hands… However, I heard that the spiritual puppets of that race are refined with a unique method. Only the members of that race would be able to manipulate the puppets. This Lu Bei's means are really too heaven-defying. It might not be shocking for him to kill the members of that race but he also subdued their puppets. After all, not everyone has the method of keeping the puppets of that race for their own use…"

Ning Fan's gaze swept across the surroundings. At first, the single move he displayed nearly scared Lin Su to death. Now, he summoned a group of spiritual puppets which amazed everyone there.

After displaying my strength twice, I suppose there won't be anyone ignorant enough to look for troubles with me before killing Tan Lang.

Another reason why he would take out his spiritual puppets without any reservation was because he needed to slaughter all the packs of wolves and intrude the snowy valley to assassinate Tan Lang who was slumber in the demon egg.

The faster it finishes, the better!

Ning Fan hid his ten fingers under his sleeves and secretly performed hand seals to predict the future.

His art of divination was inherited from Ancient Chaos' memories and it was not an excellent one.

However, the more he performed the divination, the stronger he felt that a sense of danger was approaching.

I'm afraid this sense of danger is due to that Realm Beast… We must not waste any more time…

Once everyone had come to a consensus in cooperating with each other, all of them no longer lingered around that place and directly set out to the snowy valley.

Lu Jiefen took out his Purple Yang Mirror and used the flames produced by the mirror to support Qu Shun, Lin Su and others while rushing to their destination.

As for Ning Fan, he sent everyone in his group onto the golden flame chariot with a flick of his sleeve. Then, they turned into a golden fiery ray of light and dashed forward, creating a rift amidst the snowy air.

A purple ray and a golden ray of light shot out from the complicated valley, passing through the heavy snowstorm and traversing tens of thousands of star hills.

At the end of a few hilltops, a narrow road which led to a mountain valley loomed within their field of vision.

That mountain valley only had a remote and narrow path. It was thickly covered by snow and it was heavily guarded by packs of wolves.

When they arrived at the place, the coldness of the atmosphere had frozen a few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the White Devil Sect to death. Upon being exposed to the extreme weather of the area, the weaklings of the group sighed remorsefully while travelling in trepidation.

However, the eyes of the strong experts like Ning Fan were filled with solemnity and ardor.

As long as they could kill their way into the snowy valley and wipe out the wolf packs, they could then take advantage of the opportunity to finish off the slumbering Wolf King. After that, they could cancel the seal at the end of the valley and enter the central domain of the Heaven Hall!

At the moment when two beams which were respectively purple and golden entered the valley, one million wolf demons within that area looked up and their eyes flashed with surprise.

Within them, seventeen Late Divine Transformation Realm star wolves and eight blood wolves used the same intonation to speak exactly the same words at the same time!

"So many Divine Transformation Realm beings actually intend to enter the valley to kill my slumbering demon body! How dare they be so bold?!"

All the wolf demons at the scene were Tan Lang's clones.

The seventeen star wolves and the eight blood wolves were also parts of Tan Lang's soul.

He expelled a great amount of his demon soul's power from his body and condensed the star power to create these numbers of wolves to guard the snowy valley.

As for his true demon body, it was slumbering within the demon egg without any consciousness somewhere in the valley, attempting to break free from its star spirit body!

"Whoever dares to disturb me during my sleep shall be killed!"

The sound of a roar was amplified by the roar of a million wolves. The wolf demons which were as concentrated as an ant colony immediately parted into two groups. One of them charged towards Lu Jiefen's group while the other stormed towards Ning Fan's!

When wolf demons let out roars simultaneously, their killing intent was earth-shattering and their roars rumbled like thunder. Some of the star hills within the vicinity of one hundred thousand li* (500m per li) experienced avalanches as the earth quaked violently!

It was the combination of killing intent from one million wolf demons! The more the number of people, the greater the aura; and of course the more vigorous the killing intent!

The experts from the White Devil Sect including Lin Su were stupefied by the scene before them.

They were the proud sons of heaven from the Upper World. In their usual cultivation, they had never stained their hands with blood, let alone witness a massive battle involving millions!

This was a battle with the demon race. It was not a place where the members of the human race should come.

To them, a scene like this would only be possible during a world war which would happen once in a thousand years. However, one thousand years ago, they had never taken part in the world war at all!

The members of the White Devil Sect were caught off guard by that sudden attack and some of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were immediately killed under the jaws of the tremendous packs of wolves. Lu Jiefen and Qu Shun were cultivators who were trained and tempered through bloodsheds. They had grown accustomed to large-scale battles like this. Even so, when facing such a huge number of enemies, they also found it hard to cope with the situation.

8 star wolves, 2 blood wolves at the peak stage of the Divine Transformation Realm and one blood wolf at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm led a pack consisting nearly five hundred thousand wolves to surround Lu Jiefen's group like a tidal wave. In a single moment, they had actually gained the upper hand in battle!

As for Ning Fan's side, there were nine star wolves and five blood wolves leading five hundred thousand wolf demons attacking his group.

Countless screams and cries of agony could be heard from the battle formation of the White Devil Sect. Wu Yan could not help but feel a little worried.

"Lu Bei, there are so many wolf demons. You must be careful…"

"Don't worry!" Ning Fan replied to her with only two words!

This bloody battle against one million wolf demons in the snowy valley would probably become the most painful and the most unforgettable memory for the outstanding beings of the White Devil Sect in their entire lifetimes.

To Ning Fan, however, he had seen such a bloody scene far too many times…

The Demon Sinister Forest was the sea of blood which he painted using the lives of innumerable ghosts and spirits.

The Star Palace was the graveyard where he piled up many corpses of sea beasts!

Now, these five hundred thousand wolf demons would not be able to suppress Ning Fan at all!

In just his trip in the Star Sea alone, his hands had already taken millions upon millions of lives of sea beasts!

"Die!"

As soon as Ning Fan shouted that single word with his mouth, a dark sword sense swept across the surroundings, instantly eliminating five thousand wolf demons which had besieged the golden flame chariot!

Every time the dark color spread, there would be countless wolf demons dying with their bodies exploding into pieces.

At the moment when Ning Fan had activated his killing intent, a blood-red Baleful Qi began to disperse in the sky within ten thousand li* (500m per li), dying it crimson red as if doomsday had arrived.

That was the Baleful Qi which he acquired through millions upon millions of corpses!

Just as this Baleful Qi spread, not a single wolf below the Divine Transformation Realm among the five hundred thousand wolf demons dared to look Ning Fan in the eye. Each of them was trembling uncontrollably and instinctively fell down from the sky, lying flat on the snowy ground. Their minds were in a state of chaos!

It was the collision of killing intents! Surprisingly, the party who lost was the packs of wolves!

The killing intent which was combined from five hundred thousand demon wolves was actually overwhelmed by Ning Fan's alone!

"Five hundred thousand wolf demons? It's not enough! Trying to compete killing intent with me without five hundred thousand Gold Core Realm beings? It's courting death!"

The crowd tactic performed by the five hundred thousand beings below the Gold Core Realm had no effect on Ning Fan at all!

What he uttered was extremely wild and arrogant. But that was the truth!

With just a single shout, he scared off the rest of the packs, leaving only eight star wolves at the late stage of Divine Transformation Realm, three blood wolves at the Peak Divine Transformation Realm and 2 blood wolves at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm!

The two Half-Step Void Refinement Realm blood wolves would of course be assigned to the black puppet and the black dragon to handle.

As for the three Peak Divine Transformation Realm blood wolves, Ning Fan planned to take them all himself.

The remaining eight star wolves would be ganged up by Yue Lingkong and the rest of his group!

The snow shrouded the sky. Standing amidst the sky, Ning Fan held the Blood Dragon Demon Sword and emanated a bloody Baleful Qi just like a devil god!

The three blood wolves encircled him. After they recognized Ning Fan's appearance, the three of them revealed a ferocious look.

"It's you! You are that little brat which cut down one of my incarnations!"

"Very well. By luck, you managed to kill one of my separated souls on that day. Today, you still want to intrude into the snowy valley and eliminate my slumbering demon body, don't you!"

"Little brat, name yourself. I would never kill a nameless warrior!"

The three blood wolves had locked in their killing intents on Ning Fan and let out a series of bellows of anger with pairs of bloodshot eyes. Those pairs of eyes only appear when one meets their personal enemies!

Ning Fan did not even look at the three wolves. His eyes had also become blood-red. All his killing qi was fused into the blood sword, trying to gain complete control over it!

In the past when he forcibly tore off the first seal on the sword, it upgraded the sword and became a Half-Step Void Treasure. The reason why it could not break through to the level of a Void Treasure was because Ning Fan's killing qi was not enough to suppress the blood intent of the sword.

Today, however, Ning Fan was already different from before. Facing the sword, he coldly spoke, "If you still don't yield to me, then you will be broken into pieces today!"

His hands were stained with the fresh blood of countless enemies. He wanted to completely suppress this blood sword which was forged using the demon skeleton of a blood dragon!

*Roar*

The blood sword let out a dissatisfied roar. It was a treasured sword which was made using the bones of the Immortal Blood Dragon. How could it yield to just an ant of the mortal world?

However, Ning Fan's killing intent was just too overwhelming! His Baleful Qi was just too vigorous!

The blood dragon within the sword had no other options but to yield to him!

If it doesn't, Ning Fan could insert his Baleful Qi which was strong enough to cause the blood dragon's Dao to crack and break the sword!

The roar the sword emitted gradually subsided. What replaced that was an enormous aura which soared high up into the sky from it!

At this moment, the blood sword became sparkling-red as if it was a coated glaze and its body was engraved with strange blood-red runes. Without a doubt, it had already turned into a Void Treasure!

"A Mortal Void Treasure!"

The three blood wolves' faces were filled with greed.

They were the clones created from Tan Lang's soul. Therefore, each of them had also inherited the greedy nature which originally belonged to Tan Lang.

Void Treasure. It was a precious treasure which was also sought after by Void Refinement Realm experts. As for this blood sword, it still had the second and third seals which had yet to be unsealed. It was not an ordinary Void Treasure. Instead, it was an excellent item which Tan Lang coveted greatly!

"I must... get this sword!" The three blood wolves sneered evilly and vanished into three rays of blood-red light, rushing towards Ning Fan.

"Well then, exchange it with your lives!"

Ning Fan clawed at the earth with one of his hands. Then, the soul of the great earth within one hundred thousand li* (500 m per li) was drawn into his palm. After absorbing it all, his aura rose drastically, rising straight to the peak of the Late Divine Transformation Realm!

When he pressed his finger against his glabella, the Separation Slayer Sword appeared. Holding the Separation Slayer Sword in his left hand while holding the Blood Sword in his right, he wielded them furiously but gracefully as if he was doing a dual-sword dance. His sword qi soared into the air as threads of swords began to revolve around his body.

It was unrestrained like the random clouds in the sky and its speed was fast like tempestuous rain. All the sword threads did not seem to be cutting hollow space but the chests of his enemies instead.

"Heart Drawing Sword!"

It has been a long time since the last time he used this technique. However, based on the power of these two swords in his hands today and his comprehension of the Dao of Sword, the might of this technique had become incredibly terrifying!

"It's bad!"

The expressions of these three blood wolves changed and their shadows which were charging at Ning Fan were forcibly stopped. At the same time, the three of them vomited blood and their hearts were crushed.

The Nascent Soul Realm sword technique might be unable to kill the three wolves, but it was enough to make them suffer serious injuries!

Without giving them any time to think, Ning Fan wielded the Separation Slayer Sword in his left hand. With its incredible sharpness, it smoothly chopped off the head of one of the bloody wolves.

The might of the blood sword in his right hand spread throughout the air. As soon as he wielded it, a sea of blood appeared. The demon bodies of the remaining two blood wolves then burst to bits, leaving their panic-stricken demon souls.

In the blink of an eye, all three of their demon bodies were destroyed by Ning Fan and were only left with their demon souls!

That scene had deeply astonished Lin Su and the others who were still being attacked by the packs of wolves. Even Lu Jie Fen also heaved a deep breath, feeling impressed by Ning Fan's capabilities.

If he were in Ning Fan's shoes, he would not be able to achieve victory against three Peak Divine Transformation Realm blood wolves in such a short amount of time even though he could surely beat them!

The three souls of the blood wolves were greatly frightened and they wanted to flee away at once. However, Ning Fan simply wielded the Separation Slayer Sword in his left hand again, transforming it into a sword shadow of starlight, and commanded it to chase after them.

At the same time, he pointed one of his fingers out on his right hand, displaying the Heaven Sealing Technique. The souls of the three wolves trembled all of a sudden and were literally immobilized in midair!

"Oh no! We can't run away! Ahhh!"

The three of them let out yelps of pain at the same time as their souls were minced to pieces by the Separation Slayer Sword!

Their shredded souls were then effortlessly kept by Ning Fan into his sleeve for the black puppet to feed on later.

His eyes were then locked on to the two Half-Step Void Refinement Realm blood wolves again.

Those two wolves were now kept occupied by the black puppet and the refined dragon corpse. None of them had the time to pay attention to what was happening around them at all.

When they sensed Ning Fan's gaze locking onto them, both their facial expressions changed. With great surprise, they found out that the three blood wolves already died at Ning Fan's hands after just a dozen breaths.

"H-how… dare you kill the blood wolves which were created from parts of my soul! Once I awaken from my slumber, I will surely annihilate you and your entire family!"

"Unfortunately, you won't ever have the chance!"

Ning Fan kept both the Separation Slayer Sword and the Blood Sword and trudged towards the two wolves step-by-step.

His steps might seem slow and steady but every step he took could almost traverse several thousands of li* (500m per li). When he made the first step, he appeared in white robes just like the clouds floating in the sky. As for the following step he made, he turned into a dark shadow that was black like ink. His forms were eerily switching between black and white and eventually, he completely transformed into a shadow of darkness in the end.

"Incarnation!"

Both the blood wolves had never expected that Ning Fan would be able to summon an incarnation. While facing Ning Fan who was approaching them one step at a time, they felt rather helpless as they could not spare a hand to defend themselves against him. All of a sudden, they let out a howl respectively. Instantly, the five hundred thousand demon wolves who still could not stop trembling in fear behaved as if their minds were being controlled. Each and every one of them were no longer afraid of Ning Fan and charged towards him like a tidal wave.

*Howl*

In an instant, the pack of wolves which would make one's heart palpitate with fright ran over Ning Fan's black shadow, smashing it to pieces.

However, at the moment when his black shadow broke apart, it immediately dispersed in all directions. Then, the scene was filled with a series of heartrending screams. One hundred thousand demon wolves were ripped to shreds, killing every last one of them!

A single dispersal and fusion of his dark shadow eliminated one hundred thousand demon wolves!

When his black shadow went through five dispersals and fusions, all five hundred thousand demon wolves had been turned into remains with their blood flooding the area like a sea of blood, turning the valley of snow into a ghastly and gloomy ruins.

He's strong, too strong!

After transforming into the black shadow, Ning Fan's aura was already at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm!

"What kind of incarnation technique was that?! Now, it's bad! Having this man here, my slumbering demon body would be in grave danger!"

The two Half-Step Void Refinement Realm blood wolves were in great shock. One of them immediately abandoned the other and fled in the direction of the snow valley.

The blood wolf which was left behind had to face the black dragon and the black puppet all on its own. After just a brief moment, it had already received some severe injuries. Looking at Ning Fan who was coming closer to it, it's expression had already revealed its will to die.

"Using the body of this blood wolf, even if I have to risk losing its life, I won't let you all hurt my real demon body! Blood Ignition!"

The blood wolf had gone into a frenzied mode and ignited its own demon blood!

In this world, the scene where a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert would be forced to ignite their demon blood was just too rare!

"Oh no! That blood wolf which has escaped must be going to awaken his sleeping demon body at all costs! The Wolf King has given up on continuing his slumber. He must have felt threatened by Lu Bei and therefore, he wants to wake himself up by force to protect himself and kill his enemies!"

As soon as Yue Lingkong noticed the blood wolf which soared into the sky and fled, she said all that with an anxious tone.

One of the wolves was running away whereas the other was fighting desperately.

Yue Lingkong, as well as all the other experts present knew from the bottom of their hearts how scary a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm being who had ignited their own blood was.

A Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert who wants to go all-out and put their life on the line to struggle might even be able to parry the attacks from three to four experts at a single time.

If the blood wolf ran away and successfully awakens his sleeping main demon body, who else could kill the conscious Wolf King whose cultivation level was at the Void Refinement Realm?!

"We must not let the Wolf King awaken! Or else the only choice we have is to let go of the emperor's star and leave the Star Palace at once!" Qu Shun was afraid too. Every cultivator who was at the battlefield was tied down by the packs of wolves. The only person who could move freely and pursue the blood wolf was Ning Fan!

"Lu Bei! Do it now! Not a single one of us will be able to get the emperor's star if we let that blood wolf run away!"

Lu Jie Fen yelled in distress.

Even though he did not believe Ning Fan would have the capability to kill a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm being, he thought it would be enough to save the situation as long as Ning Fan could pin down the blood wolf!

"Lu Bei! ACT NOW!"

"General Bei! We must not allow that sinful wolf to escape!"

"General Bei!"

Each of the shouts and calls that filled the air were asking Ning Fan to act.

Everyone had placed their hopes on Ning Fan.

However, Ning Fan's heart was not touched at all by their calls for action. His eyes revealed a hint of coldness. That coldness was a natural feeling that surged from the bottom of his bones after transforming into an incarnation.

"You all are noisy! It's just a blood wolf. Do you think it can run away from me? Black Tempest Rupture Art!"

The black shadow made a step forward and dispersed into a black cloud.

At the next moment, traces of black shadows emerged in front of the escaping blood wolf without showing any signs. All of a sudden, it was hauled into the darkness by the black shadows.

If the blood wolf was determined to fight Ning Fan, his technique might not necessarily be effective at its first attempt.

However, since the blood wolf had placed all its focus in escaping, it was caught off guard and was then struck by the Black Tempest Rupture Art. How would it be possible for it to survive!

"Ahh! M-My demon body…"

That blood wolf howled in pain and its face was filled with reluctance as it died within the black shadows.

The black shadows condensed again and Ning Fan reappeared in black robes, blocking the entrance to the valley of snow. With a pair of cold eyes, he glared at the wolves as if he alone was able to hold out against thousands of them.

In his gory hand, he held a feeble demon soul of the blood wolf which had already passed out.

Instantly, that scene seemed to have stirred a hurricane within the hearts of all the experts around.

"What… was that magical technique?"

Killing a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm being with just a single move!

Even though it was a sneak-attack, Lu Jie Fen and the other Half-Step Void Refinement experts reckoned that they would probably have to suffer serious injuries and wondered if they could withstand the technique if Ning Fan were to attack them head-on with it!

What a terrifying magical technique!

He has just attained the Mid Divine Transformation Realm, b-but… he is already capable of killing a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert!

"So this is… Lu Bei?" Lin Su's heart suddenly jolted.

How could Lin Su fight against a person like him?

If Lin Su were to know Ning Fan has such power, he would never have started a feud with Ning Fan!
