Grasping Evil

Yue Country annexed eleven cultivation countries including Great Jin and was also officially promoted as a void-grade cultivation country, becoming the nineteenth void-grade cultivation country of the Rain World!

Seven Apricot City also quickly rose to fame within a single night and became one of the strongest forces of the Rain World!

On a desolate land of Yue Country, a large island suddenly fell down from the sky. There was only one sect consisting solely of female cultivators on the island. It was the Bi Yao Sect which joined Seven Apricot City.

From then on, many experts had appeared in Seven Apricot City. Each and every one of them were delicate and ravishing beauties.

Su Yan, Yue Lingkong, Ming Que, Xu Qiuling… The ladies that Ning Fan had brought back from the Endless Sea all stayed in Seven Apricot City.

The name of Yue Country's Seven Apricot City quickly gained fame across the world all of a sudden.

Not only does White-Robed Marquis rule the city but there are also several Void Refinement Realm female cultivators guarding it!

"Big Brother Fan! Where did you get so many ladies that are so strong and beautiful…? And there are so many of them… Not only are there legendary Divine Transformation Realm cultivators but also the Void Refinement Realm experts that only exist in myths…"

Zhi He was slightly jealous. Her insignificant cultivation base might be something else in Yue Country but it was simply nothing in front of truly powerful experts.

"Isn't it good to have many people? From today onward, I'll be the city lord of Seven Apricot City and you will be the vice city lord. All of them will be feudal ranking elders and inner elders of the city. With them around, the city will no longer encounter danger… This is our home and we must protect it carefully." Ning Fan patted Zhi He's tiny head and shook his head with a smile.

"Is it good to have many people?!" Zhi He pouted.

Well, no wife in the whole world would like to have their husband bringing a bunch of ladies back home, okay?!

However, when she thought about it from another perspective, she recalled that there was a young girl called Mu Xiaohuan among the ladies Ning Fan brought back.

She was quite unhappy at the start. However, when she saw Mu Xiaohuan, she began to feel joy from the bottom of her heart.

Mu Xiaohuan and Zhi He had similar temperaments. They were like soulmates. Ning Fan had actually found such a good friend for Zhi He which made her extremely happy.

Zhi He liked Mu Xiaohuan very much. It was the same as how she liked Si Wuxie in the past. She did not need a reason to have those kinds of feelings.

She treated Mu Xiaohuan, who was a little foodie, as her biological younger sister and both of them became inseparable.

"Since you've found a great younger sister for me, I'll spare you this one time. There will be no next time!"

Zhi He snorted gently. However, as soon as she turned around, she covered her mouth and smiled secretly. She was not really angry.

"Silly girl, hurry up and sleep…" Ning Fan smiled apologetically and lulled Zhi He to sleep. After that, he walked out and went to the courtyard and stood below the snowy night sky that had a bright moon and a few stars.

He had returned with a powerful cultivation base. He had helped in Yue Country's promotion and developed Seven Apricot City.

However, everything he had done was still not enough.

"It's still not enough. The current strength of Seven Apricot City is still not good enough… Seven Apricot City must have a Void Fragmentation Realm guardian!"

"The little sable of the Demon Sinister Forest, Princess Mei… If I can get her out, I will obtain the first Void Fragmentation Realm guardian of Seven Apricot City. And if I can bring Treant Min Luo out of the Dark Sparrow's Grave, Seven Apricot City will have a second Void Fragmentation Realm guardian…"

"In that case, I'll need to visit the Demon Sinister Forest and the Dark Sparrow's Grave to see if I can bring out the two Void Fragmentation Realm experts there. If I succeed, they will not only help me protect Seven Apricot City but also become powerful helpers for my showdown with Moksha Sovereign!"

"Moreover, the Demon Sinister Forest still has one of Weiliang's three souls, Ning Honghong… Bone Sovereign!"

Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He did not forget the Void Fragmentation Realm white bone sovereign being.

Treant Min Luo was the king of the Dark Sparrow's Grave. Thus, he should not face any danger there.

The Demon Sinister Sparrow, on the other hand, had Bone Sovereign. Hence, it was unknown if the little sable, Ning Honghong and Mu Xiaoliang were still safe and sound.

Well, since Ning Fan had already found Mu Weiliang's corpse, her remnant soul residing in the Demon Sinister Forest naturally had to tolerate having her name changed to Mu Xiaoliang.

"There is Su Yan and Yue Lingkong to handle the matter regarding the integration of the eleven countries into Yue Country. I don't have to worry with them around. When the sun rises tomorrow, I'll return to the Sinister Sparrow Sect and head over to the Demon Sinister Forest." Ning Fan told Luo You within his mind.

"Don't worry. With my help, you don't have to bother about a mere Bone Sovereign at all!" Luo You chuckled. Then, she abruptly asked.

"Oh yes, what exactly was Yun Youmu's purpose in giving you these items?"

"I don't know." Ning Fan frowned as he took out the storage pouch which Yun Youmu gave to him.

Inside, there were only two old jade slips that had turned slightly yellowish due to age and nothing else. Each of them contained the incomplete version of a magic technique.

"Death Technique – Immemorial Fishing Line Technique!"

"Life Technique – Fishing Net of Creation!"

"When the Life and Death Techniques are used at the same time, one could cultivate a trace of Life and Death Qi…"

Ning Fan kept the jade slips and stood under the snowy sky. The shadows of his fingers were moving up and down.

While changing his hand seals, he would sometimes extract pitch-black fishing lines and sometimes white lines which would form into a large net…

The plum trees around him would lose their life force from time to time and blossom with winter plums again. The scenery was rather odd.

As the two techniques were used alternately, traces of Life and Death Qi were condensing inside Ning Fan's dantian.

The formation of the Life and Death Qi was extremely slow. However, as the two types of qi began to form, Ning Fan felt that the quality of his body had slightly improved.

It was surreal and he felt a little less violent.

If he continues to cultivate the Life and Death Techniques, he would probably turn into a sage exuding the air of an immortal in the end.

"Life and Death Qi, huh…" Ning Fan was deep in thought.

"*Chuckle* I didn't expect that Yun Youmu would give you this kind of secret technique. They actually allowed you to cultivate the Life and Death Qi. These two types of qi are excellent items. With your innate potential, if you cultivate the techniques diligently for one hundred thousand years, you will be able to gain enough Life and Death Qi and have at least thirty percent chance of becoming an immortal! The magic techniques Yun Youmu gave to you are really good…" Luo You said with a chuckle.

"One hundred thousand years of grueling cultivation just to increase the chances of becoming an immortal by thirty percent… I don't have one hundred thousand years just to cultivate these two techniques." Ning Fan shook his head with a smile. He completely had no idea why Yun Youmu would give him these two magic techniques.

Helping him become an immortal? It seemed unlikely…

Could there be a secret plot behind it? Probably…

Or is it possible that Yun Youmu was just too bored so that's why he gave Ning Fan something just to tease him?

Letting Ning Fan see the hope of becoming an immortal and then telling him that he would actually need to spend one hundred thousand years of effort in order to gain thirty percent chance of becoming an immortal?

But was Yun Youmu that bored?

After standing there for an entire night, Ning Fan still could not figure out Yun Youmu's intention.

When the sun rose, he informed Zhi He and the other women about where he was headed. Then, he made a step and left Seven Apricot City. When he descended upon the Sinister Sparrow Sect, he walked toward the Demon Sinister Forest all alone.

The formation lights outside the Demon Sinister Forest posed no resistance to him. With his body covered with golden purple mist, he directly ignored the formation lights and entered the spooky forest.

The scenery of the forest was still the same as before but Ning Fan was no longer the same person back then.

He still remembered the old saying: the more mysterious a mountain is, the greater the secrets hidden in it.

Starting from the First Region, he travelled all the way into the depths of the forest. Meanwhile, past memories kept appearing in his mind.

When he first entered the Sinister Sparrow Forest, he was just a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator.

When he entered the forest again today, his cultivation base was far stronger.

In the past, he stopped at the Third Region of the forest. Today, he could even explore the Seventh Region!

Be it the Vein Opening Realm or Harmonious Spirit Realm ghosts, all of them were shivering in fear upon sensing the ferocious qi that Ning Fan emanated from afar.

Ning Fan directly skipped past the first two regions and arrived at the Third Region without encountering any resistance.

Just as he was about to spread out his spirit sense to check whether Mu Xiaoliang and Ning Honghong were still in the Red Division of the Third Region,sounds of battle and footsteps could be heard from a distance. In the next second, the land began to tremble violently.

A white skeleton giant was currently sneering. He trampled upon mountains and trees while pursuing several tens of Gold Core Realm ghosts.

"How dare a division consisting of lowly Gold Core Realm ghosts follow Princess Mei to rebel against me? You all are really courting death! Today, I've come to kill you. Let's see who else can save you!" The white skeleton giant was Bone Sovereign's clone. His current clone possessed a cultivation base at the Peak Gold Core Realm.

"H-Help!"

The group of Gold Core Realm ghosts were screaming for help while running away for their lives.

Each time the white skeleton giant raised his palm, he would smash a Gold Core Realm ghost to death. After letting out a cacophony of laughter, he grabbed multiple ghosts and shoved them down his throat.

The giant was laughing evilly while the ghosts fled desperately. All of a sudden, a young man in white robes appeared in front of them.

The giant was stunned. He did not clearly see how that young man appeared. Besides, he felt that the young man looked extremely familiar. However, he could not recall who he was.

When the ghosts saw the young man's appearance and sensed his outstanding aura force, they behaved like desperate patients turning to any doctor they could find and immediately shouted, "Good friend, please quickly save us! We are the ghost cultivators of the Red Division. We are now being hunted by the Bone Sovereign's clone!"

"Red Division… Isn't that the division of Ning Honghong and Mu Xiaoliang…?" Ning Fan pondered for a while and took a step forward. He stood in front of the white skeleton giant, shielding the ghosts behind him.

"Bone Sovereign, it has been a while. So you aren't dead yet." Ning Fan uttered indifferently.

"It's you!" The smile on the white skeleton giant's face vanished and he burst with fury afterward.

The white skeleton giant had remembered him! The young man in white robes before his eyes was his nemesis. In the past, he had destroyed his clone that he had summoned using his true soul. He was the culprit who caused his cultivation to regress!

In that year, he took over Wang Yao's identity and sneaked out of the Demon Sinister Forest…

In that year, Ning Fan killed Wang Yao, inflicting serious damage to Bone Sovereign's true body!

"Ning Fan! You killed my true soul clone in the past, making my cultivation base regress. I have yet to regain the cultivation I lost even until now. I must kill you today to vent out my anger!"

Seething with anger, the white skeleton giant raised one of his fists and swung it toward Ning Fan.

The force of his punch was close to that of a common Nascent Soul Realm strike. The land within the one thousand li* (500m per li) shook violently.

Ning Fan also threw a punch at the giant. He did not use all of his strength like how the giant did. It was just a casual attack.

Even so, the forest within the area of several ten thousand li* (500m per li) was flattened as soon as he threw that punch. Countless mountains and rivers were destroyed. The entire Third Region was affected by an even more intense tremor!

The white skeleton giant stared at Ning Fan's terrifying punch in disbelief. He was shocked and bewildered. Upon impact, he was literally smashed to ashes!

Even until death, Bone Sovereign's clone still could not understand why the Harmonious Spirit Realm young man he met forty years ago would gain such frightening power today!

"I'm no longer a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator like that time. You also can no longer try to hunt me down with just your clone." Ning Fan withdrew his hand and calmly stood. His eyes remained cold and indifferent.

All the ghosts of the Red Division behind him were petrified!

Since when did such a powerful expert appear in the Third Region? He could flatten the mountains and rivers within several ten thousand li* (500m per li) and kill Bone Sovereign's Gold Core Realm clone with just a single punch!

Could the white-robed young man before them actually be a Nascent Soul Realm ghost king?

However, even a Nascent Soul Realm ghost king did not seem to possess such incredible power… What exactly was Ning Fan's cultivation base?!

"I'm looking for Ning Honghong and Mu Weiliang… Are they still in the Red Division?" Ning Fan asked with a firm and assertive tone.

The group of ghost cultivators were afraid of Ning Fan's might. Thus, they immediately told him everything they knew without reservation.

After hearing their answer, Ning Fan's expression gradually became grim.

"Honghong has vanished?! Why would she disappear all of a sudden…? Did her disappearance have anything to do with Hong Yi…?"

"Princess Mei has brought Mu Xiaoliang to the Sixth Region. She is currently in Yellow Spring Demon City… I wonder if she is safe and sound…"

Ning Fan muttered to himself. His eyes flickered with a hint of worry. Then, he asked about the situation in the Sixth Region.

"From what we heard, Bone Sovereign had dispatched an army of white bones to besiege the Yellow Spring City where Princess Mei was residing… Three months ago, Princess Mei fought Bone Sovereign and she suffered serious injuries from that battle. She has yet to recover even now. It's unknown whether she is dead or alive… After losing Princess Mei's protection, Yellow Spring City is in a precarious state and it could fall anytime…" A Gold Core Realm ghost answered.

"Princess Mei was hurt? Then, did anything happen to Mu Xiaoliang?!"

Ning Fan's eyes flashed with seriousness. Without any hesitation, he took out the ancient golden sword from his pouch and stepped on it.

He tossed countless immortal jade to fill up the indentations in the sword and activated the speed of the ancient sword to its maximum limit. Afterward, he drove the sword and dashed straight to the Sixth Region!

Princess Mei had suffered serious injuries and Yellow Spring City was under siege. Naturally, Mu Xiaoliang was in danger…

She was one of Weiliang's three souls. Thus, Ning Fan could not allow her to be in any harm no matter what!

Ning Fan stood at the tip of the pure golden sword light. With frightening baleful qi, he dashed straight into the Fourth Region at a speed equivalent to the Void Fragmentation Realm.

All of a sudden, all the Nascent Soul Realm ghost kings in the Fourth Region shivered in terror. All of them felt an overwhelming baleful qi from Ning Fan's body. None of them dared to stop Ning Fan's sword light!

"Who is this man?! His body actually carries such a terrifying baleful qi! Even Bone Sovereign might not necessarily have baleful qi this scary!"

"Oh my god! He actually went into the Fifth Region. Isn't he afraid of death?! That is the region where the Divine Transformation Realm ghosts reside!!"

"According to the information I obtained, every single one of the Divine Transformation Realm ghosts in the Fifth Region has become Bone Sovereign's subordinates. They will attack every person who enters the region. I'm afraid this man is going to die by going into that region so recklessly…"

Just as Ning Fan's sword light broke into the Fifth Region's border, thousands of Divine Transformation Realm ghosts soared into the sky, roaring. With their killing intents targeted on Ning Fan, each of them delivered a magic attack toward him.

"Under Bone Sovereign's order, everyone who trespasses the Fifth Region shall die!"

"Bone Sovereign's order, huh…?"

Ning Fan paused. He kept the golden yellow sword light and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, both his eyes flashed with pure golden sword sense.

When he commanded his Sea of Consciousness, a massive wave of sword sense swept across the area of two hundred thousand li* (500m per li), crushing the attacks of the Divine Transformation Realm ghosts!

All the Divine Transformation Realm ghosts got enveloped by the sword sense. The sword sense not only contained the Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent but also a trace of the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent!

Since Ning Fan fully unleashed the power of his sword sense, it would be difficult even for a Mid Divine Transformation Realm cultivator to escape death!

Each of the Divine Transformation Realm ghosts wailed miserably. All of them were shredded to pieces by the sword sense. The vicinity within two hundred thousand li* (500m per li) was immediately turned into rivers of blood!

Those Divine Transformation Realm ghosts who survived the sword sense were in chaos. They fled in all directions as fast as possible. All of them were scared of Ning Fan deep in their hearts. None of them dared to fight him at all!

Ning Fan mercilessly took out the blood-red umbrella. Stepping on the golden yellow sword light, he captured each and every one of the ghosts who were running away into the blood umbrella.

After an incense stick of time, all the ghosts were either turned into shreds by the sword sense or pus and blood by the blood umbrella. The only thing that was left behind was their sense beads.

Divine Transformation Realm sense beads! Even for Ning Fan who was already at the Void Refinement Realm, these beads could still improve his spirit sense!

Ning Fan obtained 4120 Divine Transformation Realm sense beads in total. Every last one of the ghosts was now dead, making the Fifth Region as silent as a graveyard.

"Next, to the Sixth Region!"

Ning Fan stepped on the ancient golden sword and vanished in a flash.

…

Outside a demon city called Yellow Spring City in the Sixth Region, huge black masses could be seen. Innumerable ghost troops wearing bone armors heavily surrounded the city with each of them giving off immense killing qi.

The sky above the city was being protected by a High Grade Mortal Void formation. If it wasn't for this formation, Yellow Spring City would have fallen long ago.

Inside Yellow Spring City, more than half of Princess Mei's subordinates were either dead or injured. There were less than three thousand ghost cultivators who were at the Nascent Soul Realm and above. As for the Gold Core Realm ghost cultivators, there were only several ten thousand of them and most of them were suffering injuries.

The person who was guarding the city was a Void Glimpse Stage old man. His name was You Hai and he was a commander under Princess Mei.

Originally, there were two other Void Inquiry Stage old men guarding the city. However, they were now in a coma due to their severe injuries and they could no longer fight anymore.

"Mei Chen, obediently come out here and accept your death. Then, I'll consider leaving your corpse fully intact!"

Two Void Inquiry Stage ice giants led one million Gold Core Realm ghosts to spit provocations outside the formation.

There were still four Void Glimpse Stage white skeleton puppets in front of the two Void Inquiry Stage giants. Each of them had vigorous qi but their eyes were vacant. The four of them were constantly displaying their magic techniques to attack the formation.

Under the attacks of the four white skeleton puppets, Yellow Spring City was in great peril. The formation was already covered with countless cracks. It could break anytime…

"This is bad… We don't have a lot of immortal jade left inside the city. I'm afraid this formation can't hold much longer. Princess Mei has yet to stabilize her injuries to this day and her magic power is still unstable. There is no way she can fight our enemies in her current state. If the formation breaks, the city will certainly fall and Lady Mei Chen will also die in the hands of our enemies… Commander Mu, what should we do? Should we bring Princess Mei to kill our way out and abandon Yellow Spring City before it is broken…?"

A white-robed female ghost who was standing beside You Hai asked.

She had delicate eyes and a beautiful face. Even though her cultivation base was only at the Gold Core Realm, she was someone whom Princess Mei regarded highly. Princess Mei even treated her like her own sister. Even Commander You Hai did not dare to disrespect her.

"We can't… With Elder Sister Mei Chen's current condition, she can't afford to receive any disturbance. If we escape now, her injuries will certainly be aggravated. If we continue to defend Yellow Spring City, there might still be a chance for her to suppress her injuries and recover her magic power. Let's just hold the line for a while more. If we run out of immortal jade, we can use the one hundred thousand sense beads from the treasury to fill up the formation eyes of the grand formation. Even though those sense beads are things that Elder Sister Mei Chen and I gathered for 'him', he has yet to return after so many years. Perhaps he will not come back forever and he probably will not be able to use those beads anymore… Just use those sense beads to continue defending the city."

"*Sigh* That's the only choice we have."

Commander You Hai let out a sigh. He had personally witnessed how the one hundred thousand sense beads were obtained.

Each of the beads was at worst a Nascent Soul Realm sense bead. Moreover, there were even Divine Transformation Realm and Void Refinement Realm sense beads among them.

If a human consumes those sense beads, their spirit sense would probably be enhanced to an extremely terrifying level…

In the past forty plus years, Mei Chen brought Mu Xiaoliang to kill countless ghosts and searched all the first six regions of the Demon Sinister Forest in order to gather one hundred thousand sense beads.

Today, however, they probably would have to use them in order to defend the city. Mei Chen and Mu Xiaoliang's efforts for the past forty years would probably be wasted…

"Pass down my command. Quickly take out the one hundred thousand sense beads from the treasury to fill up the formation eyes. Do it without any mistakes! Wait a minute. What's that?!"

Just when Commander You Hai had given his order, his expression suddenly changed.

A young man in white robes had suddenly appeared outside Yellow Spring Demon City. He stood above an ancient golden sword that was radiating a brilliant golden light. He stood outside the formation arrogantly, disregarding the might of the one million ghost troops surrounding the city.

Even though the young man was outside the formation, Commander You Hai could still sense an overpowering devil might from him. His eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Who is that man?! Could he be the reinforcement that Bone Sovereign sent after us?! If it really is the case, my Yellow Spring Demon City is doomed today!"

While standing on the ancient sword, Ning Fan's ears were filled with the roars from the massive army of ghost soldiers. However, his heart quieted down after seeing that Mu Xiaoliang remained safe.

"It seems like Little Black isn't around. Has she not recovered from her injuries yet? Your complexion doesn't look good. You haven't rested well lately, have you? Do you need my help to get rid of these ghost soldiers?"

With his back against Mu Xiaoliang, Ning Fan asked with a concerned tone.

The 'Little Black' he mentioned naturally referred to the Yellow Spring Sable – Princess Mei. Ning Fan was the only person beneath the heavens who was audacious enough to call her Little Black.

His voice sounded so calm and gentle, as if eliminating one million troops was just something he could do by just flicking his finger.

Mu Xiaoliang's face turned red. She was still as shy as before. Just from looking at Ning Fan's back, she felt her heart about to leap out of her throat, her cheeks also became boiling hot and even had difficulty in breathing.

He's back. He has actually returned…

Mu Xiaoliang had lots of things to tell him but she did not know where she should begin. All of a sudden, her eyes welled up with tears.

"Are you going to ignore me? Fine. Let me deal with those ghost creatures first and talk with you after that. What's your name?" Ning Fan gently turned his head around and looked at Commander You Hai.

"I'm You Hai, a subordinate under Princess Mei. And you are…?" Commander You Hai noticed the close relationship between Ning Fan and Mu Xiaoliang and guessed that he must be an ally. This made him sigh deeply with relief.

"There is no need to use the sense beads to fill up the formation eyes of the formation. Sense beads are excellent items. Don't waste them… Take these immortal jade with you."

Ning Fan casually tossed a pouch filled with immortal jade at You Hai.

When You Hai inspected the pouch with his spirit sense, his expression turned pale. There were actually several billions of immortal jade inside!

"May I ask who you are exactly?! Why do you want to help our Yellow Spring Demon City?!" You Hai asked with gratitude.

*Chi*

Only a pure golden sword light replied to You Hai's question. That sword light dashed directly at the one million devil soldiers outside the city!

Looking at the white-robed young man who appeared out of nowhere and gave You Hai a pouch of immortal jade, the two ice giants were greatly enraged.

"Who are you?! How dare you make us your enemy by helping Yellow Spring Demon City? Aren't you afraid of Lord Bone Sovereign's punishment?!"

*Chi*

The whistling sound of a sword cutting through air was the only reply to the two giants!

Standing at the tip of the sword, Ning Fan held a ball of black flames in his hand. He abruptly cast the fire ball into the sky.

In an instant, the black flames turned into several hundreds of massive fire vortexes with a gigantic black fire dragon flying out from each of the vortexes!

It was the Dragon Flame Vortex Technique that was recorded in the Black Devil Secret Art. It was a technique that Ning Fan had always used when he was still at the Harmonious Spirit Realm.

When he used the technique with his current cultivation base, even a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator would find it difficult to withstand the power of the flames!

Several hundred huge black fire dragons descended from the sky, charging at the army of troops!

Thousands upon thousands of ghost soldiers were literally burned to ashes. The two ice giants were filled with terror while looking at the frightening black flames.

"This man is hard to deal with! Where are the white skeleton puppets? Kill him!"

Four white skeleton puppets flew toward Ning Fan with a cold expression.

"Four Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets, huh? They would be excellent bodyguards for Zhi He… Life Imprisonment Finger!"

When Ning Fan pointed his finger at them, a black crescent moon mark emerged on the left part of the four white skeleton puppets' faces.

As Ning Fan made a casual flick of his sleeve, he activated his memory intent power and erased all the spiritual intelligence of the puppets, turning the four of them into white skeleton toys. Then, he kept them in his pouch.

In an instant, the members of Yellow Spring Demon City were completely startled!

Ning Fan really was too powerful. He subdued the four Void Glimpse Stage puppets by simply lifting his hand. It was too impressive because those were puppets at the Void Glimpse Stage!

A few hundred black dragons flew across the land. Countless ghost soldiers were being killed one after another. The two ice giants were so shocked that blood drained from their faces.

"Who exactly are you?! Do you truly want to make Lord Bone Sovereign your enemy?!"

"So what if I make him my enemy?!"

Ning Fan transformed into a ray of golden light at the tip of the sword and rushed toward the two ice giants.

He raised his fists and threw them directly at the two. His essence qi spread to every direction!

The air around them shattered like broken glass. The two ice giants could not withstand the force of Ning Fan's punch at all. Upon impact, both of them were literally smashed into fragments of ice and instantly perished!

It was an instant kill!

Commander You Hai's jaw dropped in amazement.

The two ice giants were at the Void Inquiry Stage. They were Gui Bing and Shuang Sha, two ferocious subordinates under Bone Sovereign. The two of them had defeated the two Void Inquiry Stage experts of Yellow Spring Demon City. However, Ning Fan actually killed them so easily!?

Then, Ning Fan kept his ancient sword and held the blood umbrella and walked among the remaining troops. Every time he opened the umbrella, countless ghost soldiers would be pulled inside the umbrella and turned into pus and blood.

They tried to resist. They tried to flee. They tried to beg… However, every ghost soldier all suffered the same fate in the end – death.

After an incense stick of time, Ning Fan stepped upon one million corpses and kept the sense beads all over the ground. Then, he gradually walked toward Yellow Spring Demon City.

If one is asked to describe the battle with two words, it would be a total 'wipe out'! No one could stop Ning Fan at all!

The formation of Yellow Spring Demon City slowly dissipated. They no longer needed to defend the city using the formation because the battle was already over!

"Who is this man exactly? He actually eliminated Bone Sovereign's one million ghost soldiers all on his own!"

"Commander Mu, you know him, don't you? Who is he?!"

The eyes of the ghost cultivators of the city were fixed on Mu Xiaoliang, hoping for an answer.

"He is a stinky man!" All of a sudden, a beautiful mature woman appeared beside Mu Xialiang and helped her answer. The woman's complexion was pale.

She was the one and only Princess Mei who had yet to recover from her severe injuries. Her eyes flashed with astonishment.

It had only been forty years and the Harmonious Spirit Realm young man she encountered in the past had already attained such a high cultivation realm.

"My Little Black is really disobedient. Why did you go running around when your injuries aren't fully healed…? Do you need to be punished in order to learn to behave yourself?" Ning Fan got to the city wall in a ray of light and teased Princess Mei.

"Who is your Little Black?!" Princess Mei wished that she could strangle Ning Fan to death at this very moment. Unfortunately, her limbs were deprived of energy. All she could do was stare at Ning Fan with resentment.

"You still remember coming back!! If you were even a second too late, you would be helping me pick up my corpse!!"

Her tone sounded like she was really aggrieved…

Ning Fan looked at Princess Mei with a playful expression.

Could it be that she missed him a lot?

When he inspected her with his spirit sense, his face became stern as he discovered the severity of her injuries.

"Why would you have such grievous injuries?!"
