Grasping the Evil-Chapter 821: Qin Gui, You Fool!

That cord soared into the sky, instantly transforming into a streak of silver lightning, fiercely lashing towards Ning Fan.

As it approached within three zhang of Ning Fan, the lightning rope suddenly trembled and dispersed into tens of thousands of silver lightning arcs, roaring like a torrential downpour, crashing down from the heavens.

The gloomy devil mountain was immediately illuminated brightly by this heavenly lightning.

Suddenly, an ancient dragon roar echoed between heaven and earth.

"It’s the Dispersing Thunder Whip! Junior Brother Qing Mu has actually succeeded in refining this treasure!" Among the Generals, several people immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"This Dispersing Thunder Whip uses the dragon soul of the Immemorial Thunder Dragon as its artifact spirit, and its grade has reached the level of an Acquired Immortal Treasure of the First Nirvana. It cannot be resisted unless one is Enlightened! It seems that Junior Brother Qing Mu alone is enough to capture this person!" Several assured voices echoed among the Generals.

Cold light began to emerge in Ning Fan’s eyes. How could he not see that the Fourteen Generals made a move against him because of the matter of killing the Seven Sha Sect Master?

The Guibing Sect is not as powerful as the War King Luo Family, yet they dared to strike against the Luo Family’s Tomb Keeper for the sake of a mere Seven Sha Sect Master. This matter indeed seemed rather peculiar...

With Ning Fan’s years of cultivation experience, he already understood that this Seven Sha Sect Master must hold tremendous significance to the Guibing Sect, otherwise it couldn’t possibly have sparked the rage of the Fourteen Generals.

By killing the Seven Sha Sect Master, he has thoroughly made enemies with the Guibing Sect... This was an unexpected turn.

But even knowing in advance that killing the Seven Sha Sect Master would offend the Guibing Sect, Ning Fan wouldn’t have hesitated. The Seven Sha Sect Master had to die.

And as for the fourteen Generals of the Guibing Sect wanting to capture Ning Fan and hold him accountable, it’s an absolutely impossible thing!

Ning Fan merely watched the sky full of terrifying thunder with cold eyes; between his brows, the blood star flashed, revealing an unspeakable terrifying thunder might in his gaze.

With just a chilling glance at the sky full of thunder, the descending momentum of the thunder suddenly stalled and hesitated, none daring to strike Ning Fan.

They seemed to fear Ning Fan!

No, not fearing Ning Fan, but fearing the blood-red star between Ning Fan’s brows!

It was as if, to the sky full of thunder, that little blood star was an extremely terrifying thing.

"The Dispersing Thunder Whip has malfunctioned!" The burly man in a green robe was shocked, but he suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood mist toward the sky full of thunder, and shouted,

"Beast! Strike now!"

Upon this command, the sky full of thunder no longer hesitated, consolidating into a hundred-zhang-long Thunder Dragon.

The Thunder Dragon, with vicious eyes, opened its mouth to swallow, intending to devour and obliterate Ning Fan in one bite!

Ning Fan’s gaze turned cold, as he stamped his foot, a blood-red lightning diagram frantically spread out from beneath him.

At the instant this lightning diagram appeared, the formerly vicious-eyed Thunder Dragon immediately showed an expression of horror and, without a word, turned to flee.

Unfortunately, it had just turned around when, in the next moment, a giant bloody lightning hand flew out from the lightning diagram, slapping down toward its dragon body.

As the giant hand struck the hundred-zhang Thunder Dragon in an instant, the lightning power on the Thunder Dragon’s body madly dissipated, as if being forcibly stripped away by the giant hand.

A series of lightning cracks rapidly spread across the Thunder Dragon’s body, and the next moment, the Thunder Dragon let out a shrill scream before exploding into countless arcs of lightning.

Upon consolidation, those arcs of lightning transformed again into the form of a silver thunder whip magical treasure, falling from the sky, which Ning Fan raised his hand to retrieve, without a word, he fiercely wiped the whip, erasing all spirit sense imprints within it.

"Ah!"

In an instant, the burly man in the green robe turned pale, immediately vomiting blood and retreating several steps, staring at Ning Fan in utter shock and anger.

Shocked that Ning Fan, only at the Ghost Profound Peak-Stage, could effortlessly break his most formidable natal magical treasure—the Dispersing Thunder Whip, demonstrating strength far beyond the Ghost Profound Grade, likely comparable to a Mid Stage Enlightenment demon!

Angry that Ning Fan dared to erase the natal imprint within his magical treasure, directly snatching away the Dispersing Thunder Whip!

"Considering the friendship between the Luo Family and the Guibing Sect, I won’t hold it against you for taking the first shot. But if you continue to pester me, you’ll bear the consequences!"

Ning Fan scattered the lightning diagram, casually storing the Dispersing Thunder Whip into his storage pouch, and with a leap, prepared to escape.

"Daring to kill the Seven Sha Sect Master, how could you leave the Guibing Sect! Stay here for the Sect!"

From behind the burly man in green robe, a middle-aged ugly woman stepped forth, her cultivation at the Initial Stage of Crossing Truth.

This woman, though ugly, her face bearing several hideous scars from her failed artifact refining, resulting in backlash from the magical treasures.

Despite her ugliness, an undeniable powerful Sword Qi emanated from her, and as she took a step forward, four extremely dazzling purple sword radiances shot into the sky from above her Tian Ling.

The four sword radiances aligned the four directions of heaven and earth, enclosing Ning Fan in the center, their light interconnected, forming a diamond-shaped sword formation diagram teeming with hidden killing intent.

"Four Directions Sword Formation, manifest!"

The middle-aged ugly woman sternly commanded, from within the four beams of purple sword light immediately flew out four Kylin shadows, diving into the formation.

In an instant, at the center of the sword formation appeared a giant shadow with four arms, each wielding an ancient annihilation sword engraved with Kylin patterns.

"Your skills are not weak, yet ultimately, you are not truly Enlightened. You are not my match! Four Directions Sword, suppress him for the Sect!"

The middle-aged ugly woman changed her hand seals, and immediately, the four-armed giant swung its four swords simultaneously, chopping down towards Ning Fan.

In this instant, all the light in the world dimmed, leaving only the sky-covering purple sword light illuminating everything!

Ning Fan’s expression was ice-cold, without any other emotion. Without a word, he suddenly raised his foot, stomping on the sword formation diagram beneath him.

An unimaginable strong force instantly bombarded the diagram of the Sword Array, forming a collapse force sufficient to annihilate an Initiate Realm of Crossing Truth cultivator, spreading madly along the diagram!

The diagram of the Sword Array beneath his feet emitted a sky-rending roar and directly shattered into countless fragments!

The collapse force then frantically spread, reaching the body of the giant with four arms, causing it to violently tremble.

The action of slashing down with sword rays by the giant with four arms immediately paused, and fear flashed in its eyes.

The next moment, the giant with four arms let out a miserable scream, and its phantom body was torn into countless pieces by the collapse force, blood splattered across the sky!

Above the sky, the four purple sword lights also exploded at this moment, shattering into countless flying sword fragments...

The ugly woman, whose life was tied to these four swords, like the big man in a green robe, turned pale and spat out fresh blood at the moment the swords collapsed.

Her eyes turned to Ning Fan, filled with disbelief!

"This person is merely at the Ghost Profound Peak-Stage cultivation, yet he destroyed my carefully refined Four Directions Sword Formation with a single step! Even Initiate Realm monsters could not have achieved this! Is this child really only at Ghost Profound?"

"There will be no third time!"

Ning Fan’s cold gaze swept across the Fourteen Generals, and with a leap, he intended to escape the Tribulation Moon Sea.

He had given the Fourteen Generals of the Guibing Sect two chances out of respect for the Luo Family, but enough is enough. If these people persisted in obstinately clinging to their way, he would show no mercy!

"This person is not weak in divine skills, let’s take him together!"

The highest cultivated among the Fourteen Generals commanded coldly.

This was a fat old man, fully armored except for his cold, sinister eyes.

He was the highest-ranking general among the Fourteen Generals and had the highest cultivation.

As soon as he gave the order, all the generals soared into the sky and surrounded Ning Fan in mid-air.

"This person killed the Seven Fiends Sect Master. If we cannot give an explanation to our ancestor, we will surely be directly sacrificed! Even if we kill him here today, we must prevent him from leaving the Guibing Sect alive!"

The fat old man ordered deeply, and the eyes of the thirteen generals were filled with murderous intent as they brandished their magical treasures and moved to encircle Ning Fan.

For these fourteen to attack together, only a strong Mid Stage Enlightenment cultivator could possibly break through the encirclement.

The guardians below the mountain and seven second-step treasure-seeking cultivators were all shocked.

They had never expected the Fourteen Generals of the Guibing Sect to launch a deadly attack on the esteemed Luo Family Tomb Keeper... This was simply a provocation to the power of the Luo Family!

Ning Fan’s eyes were icy at this moment, reaching the peak.

He had repeatedly conceded, yet the other party pressed aggressively!

He considered the other side as cultivators of the Guibing Sect and hesitated to act, yet they disregarded his identity as the Luo Family Tomb Keeper and harbored killing intent!

If so, why should he show mercy!

Enough is enough; since these people dared to attack him mortally, they must bear all the consequences!

"Just fourteen mere containers dare to lay a fatal hand on me, Ning! If so, I shall reveal your true forms one by one!"

As Ning Fan spoke, others were puzzled, but the Fourteen Generals’ faces all changed drastically.

They found it hard to imagine that Ning Fan, who was not one of the mumbling elders, could discern the secrets within them with such an astonishing eye.

Under the artifact refining technique of the Guibing Ancestral Master, generally, only those mumbling elders could uncover their secrets!

Surprised, their attacks involuntarily slowed by a step.

Before all the attacks could reach, a ripple of black flame subtly spread from Ning Fan’s feet, mirroring in all directions.

In an instant, he left behind a rapidly fading afterimage in place, and he himself appeared behind three Ghost Profound Late Stage generals.

Without extra words, he punched directly at the trio! This punch utilized all the essence power of his Ancient Demon Corpse, its power far exceeding the tolerance of ordinary Initiate Realm cultivators, let alone a mere few Ghost Profound Late Stage generals!

The entire world around the devil mountain seemed to freeze under this punch.

All life below the Enlightenment appeared to vanish under this punch.

The three Ghost Profound Late Stage generals only had time to glance back in horror before being struck by Ning Fan’s fist light.

All consciousness terminated at that moment, and an indescribable pain became their last sensation...

"Being struck by this person’s fist light felt like being hit by an entire Cultivation Star... Such powerful strength, such an astounding body refinement realm..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bodies of the three Ghost Profound Late Stage generals directly turned into blood mist under Ning Fan’s fist light.

These three had no storage pouches, quite mysteriously.

At the moment these three fell, three treasure beads with dazzling silver light immediately appeared above in the sky, absorbing their gradually dissipating primordial spirit power and flesh essence completely.

Those treasure beads had been nurtured within the bodies of the three Ghost Profound Late Stage generals for years.

Those beads were three acquired immortal treasures at the Five Nirvana Pinnacle.

"The main bodies of these three generals actually nurture such powerful magical treasures! Could it be that all the generals of the Ghost Soldier Sect have magical treasures nurtured within them?" Among the seven treasure-seeking cultivators, one in the Enlightenment Realm immediately exclaimed, as if he had understood something and gained a renewed insight into the cruelty of the Guibing Ancestral Master.

"I once heard that in the cultivation world, there is an extremely cruel method of artifact refinement, using the human body to nurture magical treasures... Could it be, could it be..." Another treasure-seeking cultivator in Enlightenment, at that moment, also understood something.

They immediately felt a chill running down their spine toward the Guibing Ancestral Master.

With a wave, Ning Fan collected three Post-Nirvana Treasure Beads. After killing three people, he appeared like a ghost again behind the fourth person. His hands tore with such strong force, as if powerful enough to rend the entire heavens and earth, directly ripping a Ghost Profound Peak-Stage general to shreds.

Then, he took the treasure bead from this person’s body.

And then the fifth, sixth, and seventh...

Ning Fan’s movement technique was too fast, so fast that no general could catch his silhouette.

The only thing visible was the black fire ripples continuously appearing in various places above the sky and the ever-fading afterimages.

The only sound was the shrill screams of the generals.

The man in the green robe was the tenth person Ning Fan killed!

When Ning Fan appeared behind him, a cold sweat stood on his brow. He wanted to turn around, wanted to defend, but had no time to make any action.

A sharp pain shot through his body, and his physique was immediately torn by Ning Fan into countless fragments, blood spilling across the sky, turning into a blood rain.

The tenth treasure bead within his body was collected by Ning Fan with a lift of his hand.

In the sky, within a very short span, ten had fallen successively, leaving only four standing Enlightenment generals!

The four Enlightenment generals looked at Ning Fan with unmistakable horror.

The strength Ning Fan displayed by killing ten people one after another was nearly no weaker than an Enlightenment Mid Stage expert!

"I have never heard of a Ghost Profound who could rival the power of an Enlightenment Mid Stage!"

At this moment, the eyes of the obese elder were full of shock, but in the next moment, this shock turned sinister, and he coldly said,

"No matter what, I must kill this boy, or I will not be able to account to the old ancestor! Junior brother, junior sister, you will now go to die! Only with your deaths can I have the power to kill this boy!"

After the obese elder spoke, he suddenly activated the treasure bead in his body.

In the instant he activated the treasure bead, the other three Enlightenment generals, including the ugly woman, all showed expressions of shock and anger, glaring at the obese elder with fury.

In their anger, there was also a hint of terror.

Before they could utter any words, the bodies of the three suddenly swelled like balloons, and upon reaching the extreme, they exploded into countless pieces of flesh.

The essence and spirits of the three were completely absorbed by the treasure beads within them.

After the three perished, their treasure beads instantly turned into three streaks of light, flying into the body of the obese elder.

In that moment, the obese elder displayed an expression of extreme pain, his originally obese body seeming to be consumed by something, instantly slimming down, with life force rapidly vanishing, breath becoming deathly still.

Yet his aura continued to rise, and in an instant, almost reached the peak of the Initial Stage of Crossing Truth.

"Well done! Well done! You’ve killed all my fellow disciples; once I kill you and take back all the treasure beads to devour, I shall advance greatly in cultivation! Stepping into Enlightenment Mid Stage will be within reach!"

The obese elder sneered evilly, his figure suddenly elevating as he strode forward.

With each step, the entire sky trembled fiercely, his aura becoming increasingly formidable with each step!

After five steps, blood light suddenly spread around the elder, streams of mana flowing from his body, transforming into layers of blood mist, shrouding him.

Hidden in the mist, he suddenly erupted with speed, akin to a meteor, directly rushing at Ning Fan!

That impact was enough to instantaneously kill any in a state of unstable Enlightenment!

Within the blood mist, the elder chanted incantations, the space within ten thousand zhang in all directions seemingly locked, prohibiting Ning Fan’s escape.

This obese elder attempted to crush Ning Fan in one strike!

Ning Fan’s eyes ignited with Battle Intent Flame at that moment.

Nine strands of battle intent whirled around his body, then flashed and re-entered his body.

His black hair transformed into blood-red hair, his once white clothes became blood-red robes cloaked in blood light.

His body too began to rise, and his Ancient Demon Cultivation Realm, in the instant it turned into red dress and red hair, significantly surged!

His original Ancient Demon cultivation was already at the peak of the Sichen Realm, with only a step away from the Heavenly Demon.

But at that moment, Ning Fan, through secret techniques, forcibly elevated his physical defense to the strength of a Heavenly Demon!

The secret technique used was the War God Art!

The Twelve Heavens of the Demon Realm, the First Nirvana Realm, corresponds to the Initial Stage of Crossing Truth.

After performing the War God First Transformation, Ning Fan’s Ancient Demon cultivation had taken a step into the First Nirvana of Heavenly Demon!

At this moment, under the simultaneous activation of essence and mana, Ning Fan was definitely not weaker than a normal Enlightenment Mid Stage!

With just a raise of his hand, pressing down with his five fingers, the entire world fiercely trembled, followed by the sound of glass shattering.

The sky, originally tightly sealed, was instantly unlocked.

"Not good!" The fat elder’s heart suddenly jumped violently, an extremely dangerous feeling surged immediately in his mind.

Just then, Ning Fan stepped forth, directly approaching the fat elder; in the instance of colliding with the fat elder, he abruptly raised his hand, delivering three punches in a flash!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The first punch landed, halting the fat elder’s momentum.

The second punch scattered the blood mist surrounding the fat elder.

The third punch shattered the elder’s armor entirely!

The residual force of the punches struck the fat elder, causing him to violently tremble, and vomit blood while flying backwards.

Within the punch was an irresistible force of disintegration that wreaked havoc within the fat elder’s body.

In just a moment, the fat elder’s face turned as pale as gold paper, barely holding himself upright, yet in the vast sky, his power was unstable, his limbs and bones throbbed with pain, leaving him without the strength to fight on!

His gaze at Ning Fan was filled with immense terror. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Impossible, you are merely at the Ghost Profound stage, how can you unleash combat strength comparable to the Mid Stage Enlightenment!"

"You cannot kill me! If you kill me, the Ancestral Master surely will..."

Fear was etched across the fat elder’s face; in his eyes, Ning Fan’s red hair wildly danced as he approached, his gaze brimming with killing intent.

The sinister aura from the Demon Lord transformed into a blood flame, wildly spreading from beneath Ning Fan’s feet!

He wished to plead for mercy, to threaten Ning Fan, but before he could finish speaking, a sharp pain assaulted him.

Yet Ning Fan, now approaching, somehow only left behind a shadow in place.

And a force of devastation struck the fat elder’s back fiercely, extinguishing all essence within him completely!

Bang!

Following a resounding burst, the elder’s body exploded into a mist of blood, leaving behind four Treasure Beads.

Ning Fan waved his hand, collecting the Treasure Beads, then descended directly to the ghost troops’ sect entrance.

He did not fear the threat posed by the fat elder!

Calmly, he looked toward the sect entrance, ignoring the terror-stricken expressions of cultivators present.

From within the sect gate, a skeletal bald elder needed out, moving like a zombie, his gaze towards Ning Fan cold and sinister.

"Little friend killed those vessels, but to kill the Seven-Fiends Sect Master, is the friend not planning to give this old man an explanation? Regardless if you are a Luo Family member, if no satisfactory explanation is given to me, then today, do not think of leaving Yin Moon Star alive!"

Ning Fan’s gaze deepened. He considered that coming to this ghost troops sect once, he failed to acquire the devil armor, but rather formed a deep enmity with the Ghost Soldier Sect.

This ill-fated enmity’s cause stemmed solely from the Seven Fiends Sect.

Even if life restarted, even if he knew of offending the ghost troops sect, Ning Fan would still decisively kill the Seven Sha Sect Master.

He, would not fear the Ghost Soldier Ancestral Master either!

Unbeknownst to others, the Ancient Demon Puppet silently entered Ning Fan’s sleeve.

Even though the Ghost Soldier Ancestral Master was in the Initiate Realm of Shekong, his aura was slightly weaker than the Ancient Demon Puppet.

Since the Ghost Soldier Ancestral Master insisted on making trouble, Ning Fan did not mind, eliminating the ghost troops sect entirely!

Upon taking out the Ancient Demon Puppet, the Ghost Soldier Ancestral Master suddenly sensed a feeling of dread as if the young man before him harbored something potentially fatal.

If it were merely this, the Ghost Soldier Ancestral Master would not be intimidated by Ning Fan.

But the subsequent cold and sharp transmission made the Ghost Soldier Ancestral Master’s face change drastically; his gaze at Ning Fan was filled with profound fear!

Only the Ghost Soldier Ancestral Master heard that transmitted voice.

But the aura of the transmission reached the momentum of the Eternal Third Calamity; the transmission sender was evidently a Triple Calamity Immortal King!

The tone of the Immortal King was notably furious, not due to Ning Fan killing the Seven Fiends Sect Master, nor for destroying his Plague Cauldron, but because the lowly ghost troops sect cultivators dared to lay hands on Ning Fan!

If he sensed incorrectly, Ning Fan could well be that prominent figure!

"Qin Gui! How dare you provoke this person, you are courting death! If you wish to end your life, do so without involving others like Lv Wen! Do you understand who this person is, the formidable backing behind him! Do you know, if enraging this person even a little, not only you, but even all forty billion cultivators on your Yin Moon Star, even Lv Wen, will have their primordial spirits extracted, turned into Plague Banners! You fool, how did I raise such a fool! I would have been a hundred times better off raising a pig!"

Lv Wen was nearly beside himself with anger.

He was the ’Master’ the Seven-Fiends Sect Master mentioned!

He was indeed the Immortal King secretly backing the Ghost Soldier Sect!
