Chapter 439: King Lan Ling

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: King Lan Ling

Yue Lingkong's hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. She had eyes that were bright like the moon. She wielded traces of silk-like moonlight rays with her bare hands and parried all the attacks of her four enemies.

Standing under the faint moonlight, Yue Lingkong was like a celestial concubine who was aloof from the entire world. Her actions were full of elegance but each move she made was domineering and overpowering.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

The Void Glimpse Stage expert of the Mist Horn Clan was called Gui Jiao. He was a muscular man with a single horn on his head. He wore a set of black armor. The strength of his physical body was already not far away from the Golden Body Realm. That single horn he had was especially strong. It was as thick as a rhino's horn. A single charge could flatten mountains and fill the sea. Its destructive power was even greater than a Low Grade Mortal Void magic treasure!

However, after being attacked by the silk-like moon rays that Yue Lingkong wielded casually, the devil horn which Gui Jiao had always been proud of was literally cut off by the moon rays!

Gui Jiao let out a terrifying roar of rage. However, it could not do any harm to Yue Lingkong.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

The Void Glimpse Stage expert of the Ghost Eye Clan was called Wang Liang. He had a vertical ghost eye between his glabella. Other than that, there were strange and eerie eyes growing on some parts of his body like his arms, neck and abdomen.

There were more than fifty ghost eyes on his body in total. It was the innate secret technique of the Ghost Eye Clan - One Thousand Devil Eyes. In the Ghost Eye Clan, other than the supreme elder of the clan, no one could cultivate to the level of having one thousand eyes.

Each time Wang Liang acted, the fifty plus ghost eyes on his body would shoot out black flames. When several waves of black flames combine into one, even experts who were on the same level as him would find it difficult to handle.

Facing the ghost eye black flames that Wang Liang summoned, Yue Lingkong merely swept the surroundings with her moon rays, extinguishing each and every one of them. Then, she pointed her finger at the air gently and one million rays of moonlight flew towards Wang Liang all of a sudden, blinding all of his ghost eyes. After receiving this attack, it would be extremely difficult for him to heal his eyes!

Wang Laing roared in agony. His eyes were filled with absolute fear.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

The Illusory Void Stage cultivator of the Lan Ling Sect was called Luo Song. He was just a step away from attaining the Void Refinement Realm. His strength was much weaker than Yue Lingkong's. However, depending on the nine-section bamboo whip in his hands, he managed to parry Yue Lingkong's attacks time after time.

That nine-section bamboo whip was just an imitation of the original magic treasure. However, it was already so powerful. If it was the original magic treasure, its destructive power would certainly be much greater.

Even though Luo Song managed to block Yue Lingkong's attacks, every time his bamboo whip collided with Yue Lingkong's moon rays, he would suffer excruciating pain on his chest due to the force of the impact of their magic treasures. It would make his qi and blood flow chaotically, worsening his injuries.

After they exchanged blows for another few rounds, Yue Lingkong raised her wrist and moonlight fell upon Luo Song like a mountain or an ocean. The nine-section bamboo whip could no longer withstand the force and it suddenly broke into nine different parts.

Seeing his bamboo whip break and the incoming moonlight which was as heavy as a mountain above his head, Luo Song's expression looked so scared that he nearly died because of his fear. He took out a silver-colored talisman and placed it on his chest. Then, he turned into a ray of silver light and ran away hurriedly. His speed was comparable to a Void Glimpse Stage expert.

He might be fast, but the falling moonlight was even faster. When the moonlight caught up with him, traces of moon blades cut through his body. He let out a miserable cry as one of his arms was completely severed from his body. Blood drained from his face, making his face as pale as joss paper. Chills ran down from his gut to his spine. Yue Lingkong's strength really struck complete terror in him!

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Lu Jiefen was struck by layers upon layers of moon rays. Facing these attacks, he had a wrong impression. Even though Yue Lingkong was attacking four individuals simultaneously, most of her attacks were focused on him!

"Detestable! I'm sure I have concealed the enmity I harbored against Zhou Ming and Yue Lingkong very deeply. It certainly wasn't exposed. Why would I be heavily targeted by Yue Lingkong's attacks?! This b*tch has actually broken through to the Void Refinement Realm. Moreover, she is still at the level where she is nearly unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts. Even if I attain the true Void Refinement Realm, I might not necessarily be her match! Detestable! It's truly detestable! Why would Zhou Ming always interfere and ruin my plans each time I schemed for something big?! I am not satisfied!"

The old eyes of Lu Jiefen turned grim. From his storage pouch, he took out his supreme magic treasures one after another.

His Yin Yang Purple Flame Mirror was the magic treasure he originally favored the most. However, during his encounter with the Realm Beast in the Star Palace, it was destroyed and there was nothing he could do about it!

His fiery dagger-axe was also an excellent magic treasure. Unfortunately, Ning Fan had destroyed it with a single finger!

His Purple Flame Golden Dart was also another excellent concealed magic treasure that he had spent a great deal of effort to build and refine. Even a true Void Refinement Realm expert would be injured after being punctured by this golden dart. However, this magic treasure was crushed by Yue Lingkong with a trace of her moon ray!

Now, he took out several magic treasures like his Azure Copper Hammer, Black Iron Cauldron, a multi-colored flying sword which was also a Spiritual Grade treasure.

Each of these magic treasures was precious and rare. Among them, there were many magic treasures which were also useful even to Void Refinement Realm old monsters.

However, these magic treasures could not stop any of Yue Lingkong's attacks at all. In the face of Yue Lingkong's domineering moon rays, each of them was broken with a single strike and were turned into fragments.

Each time he lost one of his magic treasures, Lu Jiefen would feel extremely pained. Those were supreme treasures that he obtained using his blood, sweat and tears!

He stared at Yue Lingkong and his eyes shone with hatred. If he could survive today, he would certainly keep this hatred in mind and make an extra effort to strengthen himself. When he breaks through to the next cultivation realm, he would get his revenge in the future and he would definitely put Yue Lingkong in despair!

His enmity did not get past Ning Fan's eyes.

From Lu Jiefen's eyes, Ning Fan found out about his enmity against Yue Er. Hence, it was impossible for him to let Lu Jiefen go again in order to prevent a disaster in the future.

Today, he certainly would not give Lu Jiefen a chance to flee again!

Xuan Yi, the great elder of the Six-Winged Clan, was watching the fight on the side. Just as he was about to die, Ning Fan saved him. Looking at Ning Fan's figure, his eyes were filled with gratitude.

If it wasn't for Ning Fan who appeared at the right time, Xuan Yi would certainly be dead and the Six-Winged Clan would be annihilated!

Xuan Yi never expected for Ning Fan to actually be so strong.

He crushed a Half-Step Void Grade treasure with just a single finger. He possessed three Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets. He even had a woman who was peerless among Void Glimpse Stage experts and is even willing to risk her life just for him.

With regards to Yue Lingkong's strength, Xuan Yi was greatly astonished. Now, he felt extremely fortunate for his action of befriending Ning Fan in the past. He felt fortunate that he had made a wise choice.

Ning Fan and the female corpse stood side by side, getting ready to assist Yue Lingkong whenever she needed it. They did not have the intention to save the other members of the Six-Winged Clan.

There was a primordial spirit of a woman standing on Ning Fan's shoulder. Her qi was weak and feeble. When Xuan Yi took a closer look, he realized that that woman was none other than Fen Chi.

"Fen Chi! This woman has a unique identity. Why would she be together with Venerated Ming?"

"Judging from her injuries, they were caused by the magic techniques of the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan. That is to say that she was injured by our enemies but has been saved by Venerated Ming?"

"I don't know if Venerated Ming just acted out of kindness or consciously did it after knowing her unique identity..."

"Based on Venerated Ming's actions, even though he is willing to save me, he isn't going to save the other members of the Six-Winged Clan. Well, it's the correct thing to do. This person's personality is cold and merciless. He won't act without rewards. The reason why he saved me is just to keep me alive to help him activate the Revival Platform. As for whether the Six-Winged Clan survives or perishes and how many members of the clan will lose their lives, he naturally won't care. Evidently, the other members of the clan still need me to save them."

Since Xuan Yi can become the great elder of the clan, his intelligence was, of course, not weak. Countless thoughts ran across his mind. After a while, he had already figured out a lot of things.

Staring at the countless dead bodies of the members of his Six-Winged Clan, Xuan Yi heaved a sigh. Ning Fan might have helped him resist the four strong experts, but the low-level cultivators of the Six-Winged Clan were still far weaker than the troops of the four great forces.

If no one intervenes in their fight, all of the low-level cultivators of the Six-Winged Clan would probably be slaughtered completely in another two hours.

Since Ning Fan did not plan to save them, Xuan Yi could only do it himself.

Xuan Yi was not going to blame Ning Fan for being cold-blooded. After all, Ning Fan was not someone who was related to the Six-Winged Clan. Why did he need to kill for the Six-Winged Clan?

Ning Fan was already merciful enough for being willing to rescue Xuan Yi. Xuan Yi naturally would not request anything else.

"Ignite my devil blood! Today, even if I become severely injured and my cultivation realm will fall from the Void Refinement Realm, I have to prevent the Six-Winged Clan from being eradicated!"

The six wings on Xuan Yi's back began to burn with black ferocious flames at the same time.

He had ignited his blood veins and cultivation base. He forcefully suppressed his injuries and turned into a ray of devil light, dashing into different parts of the battlefield. Using lightning and thunder techniques, he killed countless cultivators from the opposing side.

Among those cultivators he killed, there were Nascent Soul Realm and Divine Transformation Realm old monsters. However, in the eyes of Xuan Yi who was at the Void Refinement Realm, these old monsters were nothing but ants. How could they withstand a single strike from him.

Moreover, he had ignited his devil blood now. He was already in a state of desperation. Aside from experts who were at the same level as him, who else could stop him?!

All of their enemies were slaughtered by Xuan Yi on the battlefield. It was a bloody battle!

Be it the Six-Winged Clan or the four great forces, Ning Fan was not concerned about their life and death at all.

Even though the Six-Winged Clan which was currently facing the danger of annihilation looked pitiful, it actually did not invoke any sympathy in him at all.

If Ning Fan had been weak, he would have been hunted down by the Six-Winged Clan in the past after he incurred their hatred.

The reason why the Six-Winged Clan established a friendly relationship with Ning Fan and did not dare to seek revenge was because they were afraid of Ning Fan's strength. Who could be certain that the Six-Winged Clan would not think like Lu Jiefen and bite the hands that fed them when they become stronger in the future.

In this world, a man's heart was the most unpredictable thing. Hence, Ning Fan was pleased to witness the annihilation of the Six-Winged Clan. In that way, he could have one less hidden threat to worry about. All he needed to do was to keep Xuan Yi alive in order to help him activate the Revival Platform.

"V-Venerated Ming, please. I beg you. Please save the members of my clan..." Fen Chi sat on Ning Fan's shoulder with her heart riddled with anxiety. Finally, she could not help it and asked for Ning Fan's help.

"What benefit will I get?" Ning Fan uttered coldly.

"Benefit? If Venerated Ming acts and saves my clan when we are in danger, you will be able to obtain the favor of our Six-Winged Clan!"

"Is that so? But I don't think saving the Six-Winged Clan can make them have a good impression on me. If a great disaster was not happening to your clan today, I'm afraid there would be many members of the clan trying to cause some trouble to me when I pay a visit to your clan today. Miss Fen Chi, isn't that right?"

"This..." Fen Chi was at a loss for words. Ning Fan's guess was correct.

The Revival Platform was a treasure of the Six-Winged Clan that could not be passed to others. It had a shocking divine effect in healing wounds but it had never been used to help any outsiders.

Even though Xuan Yi had promised to lend Ning Fan the use of the Revival Platform, there were many objections within the clan.

They could not change the command of the great elder. Thus, they plotted in secret. They planned on teaching Ning Fan a lesson when he pays a visit to the Six-Winged Clan.

Unexpectedly, the devil statue slate appeared at a moment like this and it brought a disaster to the Six-Winged Clan.

Because of that disaster, the Six-Winged Clan was already about to be annihilated. How would they still have the mood to plot against Ning Fan.

The Six-Winged Clan was like a wolf, a wolf that would eat its owner. Unless Ning Fan was a fool, he would never save such a wolf.

"Light...Someone...is...coming..." The female corpse suddenly raised her hand and pointed her little finger in a direction where no one was coming. Her expression was majestic and cold.

Ning Fan was filled with curiosity. With the strength of his spirit sense and his Fu Li Eye, he could not see anyone coming. The female corpse, however, managed to notice someone.

As her Sea of Consciousness recovered slowly, she became more and more stronger than before.

Ning Fan did not doubt the female corpse's words. It was not only because he completely believed in her, but also because he gradually sensed a massive aura force approaching from the sea currents in the distance.

A Void Inquiry Realm old monster! Aside from that, this person can be considered to be unrivalled among those at the same level as him!

"Yue Er, come back!"

Just as Yue Lingkong was about to kill Lu Jiefen, Ning Fan suddenly spoke and called her back forcibly to stay by his side.

"Little Cucumber, why did you ask me to come back? I was about to finish off Lu Jiefen to help you vent out your anger!" Yue Lingkong sounded rather discontented but she did not disobey Ning Fan's words and returned obediently.

"Someone is coming..." Ning Fan explained and his expression turned solemn.

At the next moment, a rush of vigorous aura force that could make the air heavy and stiff came from afar. That person was treading on the sea waves, heading towards their location.

There was an arrogant and indifferent man. He wore robes with beautiful embroidery and also wore a crown. He looked like a young emperor.

His arrival made Luo Song, the expert from the Lan Ling Sect, loosen the muscles of his brows. It was as if the latter had known that this person was going to come.

To Gui Jiao and Wang Liang, however, the two of them were stunned upon noticing his arrival.

His arrival also made Lu Jiefen's expression greatly change. His entire face looked like he had miscalculated.

"It is unexpected that this person was also trying to get the devil statue slate! Detestable! I knew it! The reason why the Lan Ling Sect joined this mission is not because they were bribed by the Ghost Eye Clan at all! With this person here, my chance of obtaining the devil statue slate is extremely slim! Humph! However, with him here, no matter how many Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets Zhou Ming has and no matter how strong Yue Lingkong is, their struggle would all be futile!"

"In the Rain World, who below the Void Fragmentation Realm could resist this man?!"

Lu Jiefen felt like he had lost something significant but gained another thing at the same time. However, he behaved like how the other three experts did. All of them stopped fighting and waited for that person's arrival.

All the fights that were going on in the Six-Winged Clan were literally stopped because of the man's arrival. The experts of the four great forces retreated to the side.

*Chi*

Just like a flash of mist, that man who was several hundred thousand li* (500m per li) away just a moment ago traveled across a large distance with a single step. Then, he appeared right above the wasteland of the Six-Winged Clan.

This strange and evil man was dressed like a young emperor. There was a touch of cinnabar between his glabella but it added some evilness to his disposition.

His aura force was righteous and massive. It was the qi of a cultivator practicing the righteous path.

However, his eyes were much colder than a majority of devil cultivators.

"This king, Lan Ling, came to obtain just one item. Those who dare to compete for the treasure with me shall die!"

This young emperor was actually a cultivator of the previous young generation whose name shook the Rain World, King Lan Ling!
