Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 349: Let’s be magnanimous and not stoop to his level for now!

More than one had come. Instead, there were… one, two… a total of eight beings that appeared!

Ning Xuan's actions had already been shocking enough, but these eight beings merely glanced at the scene before they all looked in unison at the space behind him. After finding no one, some looked puzzled, while the eyes of others flared with light as they continued to search.

A moment later, eight pairs of eyes settled on Ning Xuan. They had confirmed that he was the only one who had come.

"There was a disturbance from the Great Saint deep in the Chaos Boundary Sea a moment ago," one of the beings said, its eyes full of suspicion. "Was that because of you?"

This guy certainly has a few tricks up his sleeve, but it's hardly enough to disturb a Great Saint, right?

Ning Xuan shook his head repeatedly.

"See? I told you it couldn't have been him."

"But there's no one else around. What's going on? Could someone have actually evaded our senses?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

At these words, the eight beings began to search again, a terrifying aura erupting from each of them. Some lit up with runes, while others produced strange but powerful Magical Treasures, exploring the space with all their might.

As for Ning Xuan, no one paid him any attention. It was not that they underestimated him; with their strength, they had every right to feel superior. Furthermore, Ning Xuan's Cultivation Realm was simply too low. He had only just barely stepped into the Emperor Realm! It was a pity they had no idea that just a short while ago, Ning Xuan had been at the Tenth Heavens of the King Realm. In this brief period, he had advanced directly into the Emperor Realm—an improvement granted by the energies of the Chaos Boundary Sea.

While the eight powerful beings were still searching, Ning Xuan continued to press forward, never stopping.

Finally, one of them noticed something was amiss.

"Something's not right! His cultivation is increasing!"

The cry made the other beings turn.

"This is the Chaos Boundary Sea. It's normal for a human's strength to increase a little here," another being remarked dismissively.

"But his speed is far too great! In such a short time, he has already entered the Second Layer Heavens of the Emperor Realm!"

At this declaration, the other seven pairs of eyes narrowed simultaneously.

While they watched, Ning Xuan made a pushing-down motion with his hand. The eight beings were stunned.

What does this guy mean by that?

Ning Xuan then gestured repeatedly. Now, the eight beings were even more baffled. Some even began to imitate his hand movements, trying to decipher their meaning.

"Stop pondering. What I mean is…" Ning Xuan's voice suddenly sounded beside one of the being's ears.

The being jolted in shock.

When did this guy get so close? I didn't feel a thing! And how is he still so relaxed in a place like this?

Unfortunately, none of its questions would ever be answered. Ning Xuan suddenly vanished from its sight, and its eyes widened in horror.

SPLAT!

Its body was cleaved apart. After a torrent of blood, the terrifying being was obliterated, not even a bone remaining.

Across from where it had stood, another being was completely bewildered. I was originally attacking Ning Xuan, and I wasn't even using a fatal technique. How did I end up hitting my own comrade?!

"Such quick reflexes!"

"Such incredible speed!"

"There's something strange about this youngster. The Gang Wind here seems to do him nothing but good, causing him no harm whatsoever!"

The bystanders saw things most clearly. Several of them fixed their eyes on Ning Xuan.

"We might have all been wrong!"

"Are you saying *he* is the culprit who disturbed the Great Saint?!"

"That can't be, right? The earlier incident must have been an accident."

"Whether it was or not, we'll know if we test him!"

Before the speaker's voice faded, it had already vanished from its spot.

BOOM!

A hole instantly appeared where Ning Xuan had been standing, and Gang Wind poured in like a celestial river. Just as quickly, the space returned to normal. This was the Chaos Boundary Sea, where the ferocious Gang Wind could tear through the void at will, sowing even more chaos in this turbulent world.

Appearing elsewhere, Ning Xuan glanced around, his eyes shining brightly. To him, the chaotic Gang Wind seemed to be a rare opportunity.

"Damn it! The little thing actually dared to run!"

The being whose attack had missed was enraged. With its power, capturing a human like Ning Xuan should have been effortless, yet he had managed to escape.

If word of this got out, what would become of my reputation?! Furthermore, this was the Chaos Boundary Sea. If the Great Saint found out, he would definitely obliterate me with a single palm strike, right? This is just too damn embarrassing!

RUMBLE—

The fearsome creature revealed its true form. Instantly, the space was filled with immensely thick tentacles. Its true body was that of a giant octopus.

BANG! BANG!

The tentacles slammed down with the force of a god moving a mountain. The might was absolutely terrifying; even the Gang Wind here could not overwhelm such power. What was even more remarkable was its speed. To say it was as swift as lightning was no exaggeration.

But even so, it still could not capture Ning Xuan. Its barrage of tentacles only succeeded in creating one terrifying black hole after another in the Chaos Boundary Sea. The black holes appeared and vanished in an instant; its attacks were like sudden whirlpools in a boundless ocean.

Just as it lost track of Ning Xuan, a terrifying killing intent washed over it. The giant octopus reverted to its humanoid form at the last second, but it could not escape its fate.

THWACK!

Its large head flew high into the air. Then, in a flash, both the headless corpse and the severed head were ground into dust by the ambient forces.

This…

"The Chaos Boundary Sea actually became its burial ground. That's just absurd!" one of the remaining beings transmitted to another.

"I suddenly have a feeling we shouldn't have attacked him here."

As the saying goes, it only takes one move to recognize a master. Ning Xuan's brief display of power made them completely forget about his Cultivation Realm. This man simply couldn't be judged by common sense.

Among the remaining creatures, those on good terms were communicating via spiritual transmission.

"Should we make a move?"

"I think we'd better not. I mean, winning would be expected, but if we lose…"

"I agree. Let's be magnanimous and not stoop to his level for now."

"..."

During their silent exchange, the remaining six beings quickly reached a consensus.

"Young Hero, you must be here for the Blood You Banquet, right? So are we!" one of them called out with feigned cheerfulness.

"Oh my, the banquet must be starting soon! We have to hurry!"

"This way, let's go!"

Amidst the chatter, the six remaining beings vanished in an instant.

Ning Xuan seemed stunned, not moving for a long time. However, if anyone had gotten close to him, they would have seen strands of energy, fine as hairs, drilling into his body.

He was refining Strength into silk-like threads! This was a feat most Martial Artists could not achieve even in normal cultivation, yet Ning Xuan was doing it with ease in the Chaos Boundary Sea. It was absolutely breathtaking.

With no other beings around, Ning Xuan cultivated covertly. Yet, even this did not escape the notice of the Blood You Saint in the deepest part of the Chaos Boundary Sea.

This time, in the central region of the sea, two beings suddenly heard a summons from the Blood You Saint. It was the first time in hundreds of years. After a moment of shock, the pair vanished on the spot. They dared not disobey a decree from the Great Saint.

The two beings who were supposed to be presiding over the situation suddenly departed without a word, looking extremely rushed. Their abrupt absence left the other creatures staring at one another in bewilderment.
