The Nine Zhang Nine Chi tall giant was as big as tens of cultivators, and it immediately caused the birds and beasts to disperse after it entered the deep valley.
The qi of the giant had unexpectedly felt familiar to the demon.
Unmistakably, it is the Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator that was on that ship… This child unexpectedly is a Body Refining expert and his Body Refinement Technique gave me a hint of danger.
No… not just a sense of danger… This giant gave the demon an extremely strange feeling, as if she was naturally suppressed by him.
It might be because she was a woman…
The thunderous roar got closer and closer after the formation was broken. A silver armoured giant then blocked the entrance of the deep valley.
The mountainous valley was filled with piercing thunderous roars that seemed to pierce the heavens right after the giant entered the valley. Countless birds and beasts simultaneously cowered with their feathers and fur stand on end.
The demon and the giant’s gaze met in an instant. The giant’s large hand suddenly grabbed towards its front and the thunder star flashed on its glabella. The sky was then immediately covered with dark clouds and continuous thunderous roars with silver thunder striking down!
The demon immediately felt in her heart that she was locked on by the thunderstrike. Suddenly, a few hundred thunderbolts rushed towards the demon, making her release Suqiu without hesitation. She conjured a small shield to defend against the thunderbolts but she was dumbstruck by it.
Is it the Divine Ability of Thunder?!
The techniques of the giant had exceeded the demon’ expectation and had made her extremely cautious. It was rare to have a cultivator able to cast the Divine Thunder Ability. It would be even more impossible for thunder vein cultivators to conjure so many thunderbolts that easily. This was not a magical art but a type of natural gift that could manipulate thunder… Only the one that had once ruled the heaven and earth — the Ancient Fiendgod could master such a divine gift!
The High-Grade Intermediate Rank small shield slightly cracked from just one thunderbolt that was effortlessly conjured by the giant. This had made the demon to frown in silence.
She was a concubine of a Demon General and was sealed within the Land of Demons to ‘sleep’ for hundreds of thousands of years. Her magic force was sealed and all her magical treasures were lost.
Now that the Demon General had recovered, she did not have any useful magical treasure that suits her early Nascent Soul cultivation base. Even the small shield was taken from one of the Song country’s Gold Core expert that she had killed.
If it weren’t for her being not in her prime, she wouldn’t have been hunted by a few Song country Gold Cores with her Nascent Soul cultivation. But the giant that had appeared in front of her was only a Harmonious Spirit cultivator. It would not be wrong to describe his true strength as monstrous. She wouldn’t even be his match in her prime, let alone with her cultivation still yet to recover…
The demon thought firmly of an idea almost instantly. She would definitely not face the giant that had appeared in front of her if she could avoid doing so. She immediately used instant movement to escape out of the valley and leave all the female cultivators that she had captured within the valley.
Although it was a pity, but the demon was more willing to choose a safer route rather than one filled with unknown danger.
But the demon found out that she could not escape out of the valley with just instant movement. She got angry but at the same time startled that the whole valley was covered with a purple barrier.
This purple barrier was a Nascent Rank Intermediate-Grade Formation that was imitated from the Purple Light Sect’s Sect Protecting Grand Formation. It had made the demon unable to escape out of the valley within a short period of time.
It looked like the giant had long been prepared to capture her. This giant did not just come to save the others but also came to fight a life and death battle with her!
Unable to leave huh… Then a battle it is… The ugly face of the demon displayed a tinge of evilness and egotistical battle intent. “Human friend, if you want to blame me on touching your woman, I will apologize to you for this matter… My Lord, the Demon General will not stand by if you insist on making me your enemy!” She fiercely said.
“Hmph!”
The giant harrumphed and his big hand once again tried to grasp her. Innumerable thunderbolts struck down on the demon’s small shield and completely shattered it. It made the demon to dodge without composure and her eyes were filled with killing intent.
Ning Fan was undoubtedly the giant. He had been silently protecting Suqiu for a month before she had joined with the Song Country’s righteous sects. After that, he went and did some stuff… one of the things he did was to dig out the lair of the demon and silently placed a Nascent Rank Intermediate-Grade formation – Purple Light Formation, while the demon was out!
Meanwhile, he used his spare time to concentrate on refining a magical treasure.
With the help of the first star on his glabella-Thunder Star. Ning Fan commanded the thunder with both his hands. It made the Nascent Soul demon to lose her composure while dodging the attacks.
The thunderstrike of the heaven and earth was extremely strange. The demon could not dodge the thunder attacks even with instant movement once it was locked onto her. The demon could only take on the attacks with her own body helplessly. Ning Fan then took the opportunity to release his silver-armoured giant form and changed back into human form. He descended upon the ground and his gaze lightly swept upon the half-naked Suqiu. He then immediately averted his gaze and gave her his robe from his storage pouch. He then took out a crystal bracelet after a slight hesitation and gave it to Suqiu.
“After you put on this robe, leave the formation with this bracelet . Use this bracelet to attack her if you see the demon leave the formation… ”
Suqiu could only feel her cheek feel boiling hot, feeling both ashamed and shy.
She felt ashamed that she had left the Seven Apricot ship with such determination and went on her separate way from Ning Fan, but ended up in such a situation. If Ning Fan did not save her, she would surely die under the evil clutches of the demon.
As for the feeling of shyness, it was naturally due to her clothing being cleanly ripped off by the demon. With only her slightly damaged undergarment left covering her snow white skin, slightly revealing the curve of her body.
Nothing was left to cover her nether region, hence she had to use one of her hands to cover it and used the other to receive the robe and crystal bracelet .
The robe had been worn by Ning Fan and Suqiu’s cheeks slightly reddened after she thought of wearing the clothes that Ning Fan had worn. But she did not have a choice with the urgent matter at hand.
*Zhang = 3.13meters
*Chi = 30.7 cm
The faint peak high-grade qi that was being emitted by the crystal bracelet made Qin Suqiu’s heart secretly skip a beat.
The fine and exquisitely made bracelet was unexpectedly a powerful magical treasure!
This magical treasure was a ring-shaped treasure that could be changed into a crystal hoop at a whim from Suqiu. It resembled the water ring she once owned that was destroyed the other day. But what made it different was that there was a shred of supreme-grade qi emitting from it, almost as if the equipment itself is nearing the supreme-grade.
But what made Qin Suqiu more surprised was that there were two divine abilities infused within the bracelet. The first was a type of Divine Intent like a drizzling rain with a unique charm. The other one was a shred of prestige of the heaven and earth. Although this bracelet was of a peak high-grade quality, but it could even be on par with those magical treasure of the supreme-grade!
“This is…” She put on the robe and took the crystal bracelet, trying to seek for an explanation.
“This is what I owed you… ” Ning Fan did a grabbing motion once again and the thunder star on his glabella moved. Countless thunderbolts were called upon to pin the demon down. He then took all the fainted female cultivators into the Cauldron Bangle after a slight contemplation.
“Immortal’s Abode Magical Treasure?! Also, for what purpose did he take away those women for?! ”
Qin Suqiu was silently surprised by Ning Fan’s techniques. But Ning Fan’s brows furrowed and said with commanding words
“Quickly retreat out of the valley and guard the formation!”
When it was the third time he controlled the thunderbolts through the thunder star, the power was a bit lacking compared to when he used it in his giant form. Hence, the demon was merely slightly inconvenienced and was able to escape from the thunderbolts easily.
It looks like the thunderbolts’ power from the glabella is greatly related to one’s Body Refinement Technique…
Qin Suqiu had a lot of questions but knew better than to ask at the current time. She could only obey Ning Fan’s order to leave the deep valley andguard the way out of the formation. She would then attack the demon once she sees her escape out of the formation.
The bracelet gave Qin Suqiu an indescribable confidence that so long as it is with her,she could even inflict injuries to the Nascent Soul demon!
Suqiu left the valley and only Ning Fan and the demon were left within it.
It would be difficult to escape out of the Purple Light Formation without using her trump card since Ning Fan’s thunderbolts were troublesome to deal with. The demon was initially slightly afraid of Ning Fan but became furious after getting away from the accursed thunderbolts the third time.
“Human! Do you really wish to fight to death with me?! I’ve said it before and if you understood me earlier, then you would know the Demon General wouldn’t let you off! For I am one of the ‘Twelve Concubines’ of the Demon General…
“You talk too much nonsense!”
Ning Fan’s heart filled with a bit of concern at the mention of the Demon General.
Rumor has it that in the primordial era, only those truly powerful demons of the Spirit Severing Realm and above could earn the title of General.
Doubtlessly, the Demon General that had been mentioned was a Spirit Severing Realm old monster who was mostly likely the one that had planted the rune on the demon’s glabella.
But since he had already made an enemy out of the demon it was impossible for Ning Fan to let her off… He may perhaps restrain himself within the Yue Country, but the demon would be a great cauldron outside of it. It would be dumb to not accept this gift since she had deliberately delivered herself to Ning Fan’s lap.
As for the Demon General… Ning Fan believed that once this demon was captured and held captive, It would be impossible for them to know that Ning Fan was the one who captured one of their concubine no matter how powerful the Demon General was.
“Dragon Flame Vortex!”
His gaze went cold and black evil flames immediately changed into swirling dragon flames.
In an instant, the demon’s expression drastically changed and had a face full of disbelief. But afterwards, the fear within her eyes changed into those of greed and happiness.
“Earth Vein Demonic Flame! You unexpectedly possess an Earth Vein Demonic Flame! And for this flame to have the shape of a dragon, it must be the Demonic Flame — Black Evil Flames! It is the demonic flame that Lord Li Ban specifically must have! It was heard that this flame had appeared within Yue Country, but to think that I will still obtain this flame without even stepping a foot inside! If Lord Li Ban were to possess this flame, there’s a high possibility that the lord would be able to evolve to a dragon from a carp and advance his cultivation massively! ”
Hence no matter what, she has to seize this flame, even if Ning Fan may seem to be extremely powerful…
“Human! This is what you brought upon yourself! Demonic Art — Flying Flowers and Leaves!”
The demon performed a hand-seal in midair and her spirit sense was immediately enveloped with a layer of pinkish red. Then it quickly changed into camellia petals floating and dancing around her body.
It was a Nascent Rank Low-Grade Demonic Art!
This time, the demon was much closer to Ning Fan and firmly believed that it would be impossible for him to easily take on her Demonic Art again. Even if Ning Fan possessed the Soul Burning Sword as well as Sword Sense!
*Dragon Vortex Fire has been changed to Dragon Flame Vortex for better accuracy
