Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Ninth Grade Demonic Intent!

The entire Heaven and Earth Origin Qi all around them was triggered by the female demon, fusing it into pieces of camellia petals. The seemingly harmless camellia petals suddenly turned into killing machines that could easily shred Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivators into pieces. Apart from that, there were hundreds of thousands of camellia petals fluttering in the air. Even Ning Fan was impressed by her demonic arts.

Previously, he was able to break the female demon’s demonic arts easily because she hid herself in a far distance while casting her spells. Therefore, the magic power was already weakened by the time it reached them. But this time she was attacking in close range. Even Ning Fan would not be easily able to withstand it.

After the blood red rune in between her eyebrows flashed, some kind of special domain fused into the camellia petals and infusing them with a unique Divine Intent. Blood red scales started to condense on the veins of the petals.

Desolate demonic power swept across the valley. As the female demon’s eyes turned cold, hundreds of thousands of petals in the air scattered down. Everything that touched the petals crumbled instantly!

That was the might of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

Those petals, especially the Divine Intent, were troublesome to Ning Fan. Now, he was more convinced that the rune of the female demon was truly planted by a Divine Transformation Realm demon.

However, that Divine Intent slightly differed from those of other cultivators.

Without having time to think thoroughly, Ning Fan snapped his fingers and nine black flame dragons came out from above his head. Then the nine dragons transformed into nine layers of the fire sea. Every layer revolved like that of a vortex. In the next moment, he successfully made the nine layers of the fire sea into four complete vortexes!

This was already his utmost limit. If he executes five vortexes, he would definitely drain his magic power empty. Furthermore, if he wanted to perform six vortexes forcefully, the only way was to sustain severe injuries... In the past, he had once displayed the six vortexes, but the consequence was having injuries that was not completely recovered yet until today. The blood essence that he lost was still not fully replenished.

If combining nine vortexes with the nine layers of the fire sea, the power would be similar to that of the fifth vortex of the Dragon Flame. That was the trick that Ning Fan figured out to increase the strength of the Dragon Flame. However, the precondition to perform the skill was that the cultivator must have a strong spirit sense so that they could manipulate the nine layers of flames. Currently, Ning Fan was able to perform it because he had a Nascent Soul Realm spirit sense.

Under the sky, it was filled with immense magic power from the red fluttering flowers and black dragon fire. Apart from that, there were other strange phenomena appearing in the sky.

Even Suqiu who was outside of the purple light grand formation was amazed by the scene of battle. She was inwardly surprised by the might of the female demon while slightly worried about Ning Fan’s safety.

All Intermediate Gold Core Realm and above cultivators of Song Country including Song Jun could clearly sense the vast waves of magic power from the Blood Flower Valley at the west of Song Country. Each of their expressions changed!

It was a battle between Nascent Soul Realm magic power! Only a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators could cause drastic changes to the sky and earth!

One of them should be the female demon. However, who was the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivator? Was he from another country?!

Could it be that a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from another country came to help defend Song Country?

"Is he one of the cultivators of the Rain Palace?!"

Every expert braced themselves and gave up the idea of providing young girls to the female demon.

If they could eliminate the female demon without hurting anyone, they would be pleased to be just onlookers for the battle. Each of them headed towards Blood Flower Valley with their vanishing lights.

However, Song Country was a huge place. Even if they flew with all their strength, they would need to travel for half a day. Moreover, the other cultivators who came from further away would need a longer period to reach the scene.

Each of the experts heading there rubbed their palms together. If they saw an opportunity to capture the female demon, they would never compromise with her this time. An indecisive attitude would exist in them as indecisiveness in their Dao.

They had their Dao, Suqiu had her own Dao and Ning Fan, had his own particular Dao too!

After the clash of the fluttering flowers and dragon flames, Ning Fan’s expression turned even more serious. One of his hands was controlling the flames while the other struck out a punch. Suddenly, there was a layer of ice forming above the nine layers of the fire sea. That layer of ice froze the area around female demon who was caught off-guard.

With the strength of the punch, it froze the sky and earth. After that, sounds of ice crushing could be heard. The female demon at the centre of the attack turned pale and spat out black blood. She could not believe her own eyes!

As the demon was sneak-attacked, the fluttering flowers went uncontrolled and were burnt to ashes by the sea of flames!

"This human is able to perform a Nascent Soul Realm body refining method while executing such powerful magic power!"

The right finger was the Dragon Fire and the left punch was the Crushing Ice!

Crushing Ice technique was a Nascent Soul Realm body refining technique that Ning Fan got after the battle with the devil armies. It was the only close combat technique that Ning Fan knew.

Controlling the nine layers of flames while striking out a punch was never an easy matter for Ning Fan. However, the result was instantaneous! With just a single punch, the female demon was already hurt badly!

After defeating the fluttering flowers demonic arts, the dragon flames’ power was fading too. The sea of flames slowly became illusory... Without waiting for the sea of flames to completely disappear, the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi around Ning Fan was altered and a black light flashed. He displayed the art of instant movement. He passed through the sea of flames and appeared behind the female demon in the middle of the sky. Without giving the demon a single second to breathe, he beat her down to the ground.

"Go down!"

The female demon had not expected that the Harmonious Spirit Realm Ning Fan could master the art of instant movement. Taking a beating made her injuries more serious. A few mouthful of black blood came out from her mouth. Upon falling to the ground, a ten zhang huge pit was formed and crushed stones were all over the floor.

After managing to stand up with difficulty, she looked at Ning Fan again. However, this time her gaze was filled with fear!

He shouldn’t be just in the Harmonious Spirit Realm. He must be a Nascent Soul cultivator. If not, it was impossible for him to display the art of instant movement. Without achieving Nascent Soul Realm, there’s no way he could sense the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi. For just this point alone, he had no means to borrow the origin qi for performing instant movement. Or perhaps, I have belittled him!

Maybe he’s not just a Nascent Soul Realm expert. He might be a Nascent Soul Realm expert of the Intermediate rank. Otherwise, I could have seen through his cultivation base easily.

He has Intermediate Nascent Soul Realm cultivation base. He has Silver Bone body refining technique. He has Nascent Soul Realm body refining technique "Colossal Bone Secret Arts" and Nascent Soul Realm close combat technique "Crushing Ice". He even has sword sense that can only be practiced by the Sword Emperor from the Sword World.

Who is this man? What’s his background?!

She couldn’t have known, let alone even guess it. However, the only thing that’s clear was that she was not a match for Ning Fan!

Therefore, she had no choice but to display her trump card which was given to her by the demon general for the very purpose of fleeing.

She pressed the blood red rune between her eyebrows to activate its power. However, to her horror, she discovered that she lost the ability to use her magic power!

She did not know when a trace of the power of enchantment went into her body. It surprisingly made her to also lose control of her own demonic power!

Apart from sealing her magic power, her body began to feel soft and powerless!

Her expression was filled with shock. Currently, she was aware that Ning Fan had used a bewitching technique on her!

She was actually good at bewitching technique herself. She even used her bewitching technique to captivate female cultivators and plucked them. With her current realm, it was almost impossible for a Mid-Grade Nascent Soul Realm bewitching technique to work on her her. Even so, she had no idea what Ning Fan had casted on her.

In fact, there was only a single reason for her to be in that situation. Ning Fan’s bewitching technique was beyond her current level of comprehension!

Yin Plucking Finger!

This technique was one of the secret arts from Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor’s cultivation method, Yin Yang Transformation. There were only a few secret arts recorded in the scroll of the cultivation method. However, every one of them could bring upon devastating damage to female cultivators. Apart from that, the power of each technique would increase according to the realm of the cultivation method.

Previously, when Ning Fan was still a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator, he did not have much understanding of the method. Even so, he was still able to sneak attack the Nascent Soul Realm female cultivator, Yun Ruowei from Orchid Temple, causing her to suffer. At that time, she even begged for mercy from Ning Fan.

Currently, Ning Fan’s magic power had increased by a great deal. His understanding of the cultivation method improved and his technique became even stronger. After beating the female demon, he secretly infused the power of Yin Plucking Finger in his attack. Otherwise, that strike would have been a killing blow to her!

Ning Fan did not intend to kill her. For him, it would be such a waste if he missed the opportunity to make this Nascent Soul Realm female demon his cauldron!

He would need her in order to break through the second realm of Yin Yang Transformation!

When the power of the enchantment technique went into her body, her legs became soft and weak, causing her to lose her balance. She fell on the floor and her face was filled with shame and anger!

"You dare to cast a bewitching technique on me! You’re so despicable!"

"..."

"Fine. I concede defeat. I will promise to fulfill anything you want if you relieve me of the bewitching effect," said the female demon as if she had already surrendered. Upon hearing those words, Ning Fan just sneered at her, without speaking a single word.

"What are you laughing at!" The female demon shouted with a hint of rage.

Although she could not use her magic power in her current situation, she still had her trump card, the blood-red rune.

In reality, she was just acting to try to deceive Ning Fan. She wanted him to come near her so that she could activate the power of the rune and kill Ning Fan!

However, it turned out differently from her expectation as Ning Fan did not respond to her while sneering at her at the same time. It appeared as if he had already seen through her evil intentions.

"Aren’t you going to activate the demonic intent between your eyebrows? Judging from the blood-red colour of the rune, it is a powerful demonic intent. It seems to be not of the common type "Non-Grade Demonic Intent". Is it a Ninth Grade Demonic Intent?"

After hearing Ning Fan’s words, the female demon was stupefied for the first time.

Demonic intent! This term has already been lost since ancient times. Other than her who belonged to the ancient demon race, there should not be anyone else who knows about it. How did the little cultivator in front of me know about it?

Aside from that, Ning Fan knew that it was a Ninth Grade Demonic Intent at first glance!

Cultivators possess Divine Intent. Sword cultivators possess Sword Intent and demon cultivators possess Demonic Intent!

There were grades for Divine Intent and Demonic Intent.

Divine Intents that normally originated from inheritance did not have any grades. They could only assist the cultivators to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm. However, cultivators were unable to cast the divine ability using this type of Divine Intent.

The Ninth Grade Demonic Intent was the Demonic Intent of Carp! It was the Demonic Intent condensed by the demon general who was her companion. In fact, this rune was a method to control her and it was also a divine ability to save her life from danger.

She could borrow some power from the rune, temporarily increasing her magic power. If the rune was fully activated, it could even release a strike on the level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

It would be a fatal blow to Ning Fan.

"You tried to ambush me. Unfortunately, I have already seen through your plan. You have not yet tasted the power of my Yin Plucking Finger. If you are unable to force that power out of your body, it will be more and more terrifying. You have already lost. From today onwards, you will be my cauldron. As for the blood red rune between your eyebrows, it will become my trump card now!"

Ning Fan kept disturbing her state of mind using his words. After that, he shouted with a deep voice, fully activating the power of the Yin Plucking Finger within her female body.

She was in great terror after Ning Fan knew about her Demonic Intent. Hence, her mind was already in a mess. Therefore, she was easily invaded by the bewitching effect of the Yin Plucking Finger. In the end, she even lost the strength to activate her blood-red rune.

"Detestable! Truly detestable! Despicable human! How dare you, this low-level creature make me your cauldron..."

After tasting countless humiliation,she completely became soft and slept on the ground. Even so, Ning Fan did not step down from the air.

His expression became more serious as the blood-red rune activated itself even without a command from her.

A cold bloody light came from the rune and transformed into the shadow of a man covered with crimson scales and had red hair. He grabbed the female demon and ran away to flee from the Purple Light Grand Formation.

"Human, you have severely injured one of my twelve concubines. I will make you pay someday!"

"Hmmph! You will not have a chance! I do not fear your shadow. Your Ninth Grade Demonic Intent shadow may be hard to damage using magic power. But I have the Divine Intent!"

Ning Fan’s eyes flashed and dark clouds started to form within the deep valley. Droplets of rain were coming down ceaselessly. Apart from that, there was also the glowing light of the moon. It seemed as if the moonlight sprinkled down with the raindrops.

Within the droplets of rain, the shadow of the bloody scaled man was terrified. His Demonic Intent shadow was gradually disappearing!

"This is Divine Intent of Rain! It’s an Eighth Grade Divine Intent!"

Eighth Grade Divine Intent ranked higher than his Demonic Intent. However, even though both of the intents differed only one rank, the power of the Eight Grade Divine Intent was immeasurably stronger than the Ninth Grade Demonic Intent.

Note:

1. *zhang = 3.13 meter

2. *Ice Crushing has been changed to Crushing Ice for better accuracy.
