Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 321: Have You Seen a Ghost in Broad Daylight?!
A lowly human had sent their Princely Heir flying—an unbelievable sight, even seeing it with their own eyes.
"You’re lying to me!!"
The furious roar of the Human Jiao Princely Heir brought the two beasts back to their senses. Immediately, both pairs of blood-red eyes locked onto Ning Xuan.
"You’ve got some nerve!"
"Lowborn, kneel and kowtow to His Highness the Princely Heir at once!!"
Their angry shouts shook heaven and earth as Turbid Qi transformed into boundless waves, assaulting Ning Xuan in an attempt to crush him. The pressure on Ning Xuan multiplied. The two beasts that had arrived both possessed Emperor Realm strength. Their combined assault would be a disaster, not just in the Tianyang Realm. Even in a Cave Heaven Blessed Land rich with Element Force, it would also be a disaster for a King Realm Martial Artist.
Luckily for Ning Xuan, no matter where he was, the environment had zero effect on him.
"What?!"
Exclamations of shock followed as the eyes of the two beasts bulged wider than a bull’s. They hadn’t seen clearly what Ning Xuan had done before they witnessed an utterly shocking scene. The Crystal Stones they had abandoned as trash instantly transformed into a vast ocean of energy, forming a counterforce against their own attack. Even more shockingly, this "trash" energy was actually blocking their assault!
What’s going on? How did this guy do it?!
The next moment, PFFT! They spurted blood as they were sent flying backward.
At the same time, Ning Xuan’s voice resonated in their ears. "Next time, don’t get distracted, or I might really take advantage... of a beast in peril!"
These words made the two beasts’ fur bristle with rage.
"You lowlife, what do you mean by that?!"
"How dare you look down on us?!"
Both were infuriated. Ning Xuan’s meaning was crystal clear: he had let them off the hook.
He let us off the hook? Our status versus his... Damn it! This is intolerable!
BOOM!
As a roar exploded, the Turbid Qi in the void solidified, creating a towering tsunami that rushed toward Ning Xuan with the force to topple mountains.
"Bring it on!"
With a great shout, Ning Xuan raised both arms. Instantly, endless pure energy formed a tsunami of its own to meet the attack head-on.
Deeper within, the four women watched, completely dumbfounded. Although they knew the energy tsunami was formed from Divine Crystal Energy, they couldn’t believe their eyes. With a mere lift of his hand, all the Divine Crystal Energy in the area had been extracted at once—his technique was like that of a god.
The four women were incredibly shocked. None of them felt it was a pity to waste the Divine Crystal Energy in such a way. Their only hope was for Ning Xuan to emerge unscathed, because they were of no help at all.
Soon, the shock on their faces was replaced with joy. Ning Xuan’s Divine Crystal Energy had completely overwhelmed the opposition. The tsunami of Turbid Qi shattered like a castle in the air, and the two beasts were engulfed by the energy wave Ning Xuan had unleashed.
And then... there was no "after that." The beasts tried to flee, but they were like mere drops of water in a raging tide. After struggling for a few moments, they vanished without a trace. When the energy settled, not even a speck remained of the two terrifyingly powerful beasts.
The Human Jiao Princely Heir had also disappeared. Seeing the situation had turned sour, it had already made a run for it.
Just as Ning Xuan landed, Yun Wangshu ran over to him, speaking anxiously, "You need to go after it! If it returns to the Jiao King’s Mansion, we’ll be in trouble!"
"No rush," Ning Xuan said, gently guiding Yun Wangshu to a seated position. "I can’t reclaim this energy once it’s been released, so I have to maximize its benefits before it dissipates. Sit down for now."
In truth, compared to his location being exposed, he was more concerned about the safety of Si Lanyi and his senior sister. But the Divine Crystal Energy was draining rapidly, being consumed by the omnipresent Turbid Qi. It would be a true pity not to seize the moment.
"You three, hurry. Absorb as much of this energy as you can!" Ning Xuan reminded the other women while helping Yun Wangshu.
The three of them didn’t dare to delay and immediately took action.
「About half an hour later.」
Ning Xuan and his group appeared atop Soul Severing Cliff. The previously immense Divine Crystal mountain had vanished. As far as the eye could see, the world was filled with roiling Turbid Qi.
But Ning Xuan paid it no heed, instead looking in a specific direction where creatures were breaking through the air toward them.
RUMBLE—
Several creatures approached at incredible speed, producing sonic booms as if they were shattering spatial barriers.
"How audacious! You’re still here!" a creature roared from afar upon spotting Ning Xuan and the others.
The Turbid Qi surged like a breached dam, rolling across the vast sky in a direct assault. What a show of intimidation.
At this moment, there was no Divine Crystal Energy left to use. Zhongli Ruoruo was about to act, but Ning Xuan had already moved. He stepped forward, his hand forming a blade, and slashed through the void three times. What seemed like a futile effort, like trying to cut water with a knife, easily cleaved through the terrifying qi rushing toward them. By the time the remnants of the attack reached him, Ning Xuan simply flicked his sleeve, and it crumbled into nothing.
Behind him, the four women watched with amazement in their eyes.
"To think someone like you exists within the Human Race. How rare, truly rare!" one of the four newly arrived "people" clicked its tongue in wonder. The beast hovered in the air, looking down on Ning Xuan with a condescending air.
Ning Xuan responded with a single chop of his hand.
PFFT!
The powerful creature was obliterated, its blood spattering across the sky.
The remaining three beasts were stunned.
Ning Xuan’s indifferent voice rang out. "You’re just a few beasts. There’s no need to put on airs in front of me."
Opposite him, the three beasts instinctively dropped to the ground. It was a completely subconscious act, and they only realized what they had done after they landed.
"Very well! We haven’t seen a human as arrogant as you in a long time!" Killing intent surged like a sea in the eyes of the middle beast.
"Does your Jiao King’s Mansion have any of these?" Ning Xuan asked, spreading his palm to reveal a Divine Crystal.
I could have used this place to greatly improve my strength, but the beasts from the Jiao King’s Mansion destroyed a perfectly good Divine Crystal mountain. Naturally, the Jiao King’s Mansion will have to compensate me for this loss!
The beast spoke proudly, "This trash? Of course, the Jiao King’s Mansion has it! After all, we have several hundred Human Slaves in our residence."
"Good. Lead the way."
"Haha, you know what’s good for..." The beast in the middle laughed heartily but suddenly realized something was amiss.
This guy’s tone isn’t like someone going to be a slave. It’s more like he intends to take over our Jiao King’s Mansion!
"You motherf—"
His words were cut short as the beast to his right covertly tugged at him. His expression shifted, and he ultimately relented.
We just lost a companion! The Human Race is treacherous and cunning. For him to be so brazen, he must have an ace up his sleeve! We’d better not take the risk.
The three beasts fell silent, turned, and sped away. With a single sonic boom, they were already hundreds of meters away. At that moment, they twisted their heads in unison, eager to see Ning Xuan and his companions made into a laughingstock.
But they were immediately dumbfounded.
Ning Xuan and the four women had appeared not far behind them, completely silent.
The eyes of the three beasts contracted sharply.
Damn! Are we seeing ghosts in broad daylight?!
