Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 246 Curiosity
Nie Zhaonan naturally understood the principle that delay would lead to unexpected events, and he was already familiar with the situation in just a few moments, so he silently mobilized more of his magic power, and immediately became several points faster.

The leader of the Yinluo Sect did not look back, but he was well aware of Nie Zhaonan's change. Suddenly, he flipped his hand, and a golden cone appeared in his hand.

He swung it suddenly behind him, and there was a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air. The sharp cone only flashed twice, and then suddenly appeared in front of Nie Zhaonan without any warning, and stabbed down without any hesitation. The whole process took less than a blink of an eye.

An ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator would never be able to dodge such a strange attack, not to mention that he was flying at a high speed.

However, Nie Zhaonan, who had practiced the Ming Wang Jue and Qu Gu Jue, simply twisted his body strangely at this moment, and his body seemed to be boneless. With an incredible movement, he flashed to the side and easily avoided the golden spike, allowing it to shoot past from a few feet away to the side.

However, Nie Zhaonan just changed direction sharply and continued to chase after the leader of Yinluo Sect at the same speed.

But at this moment, a black ball caught Nie Zhaonan's sight.

Although this ordinary black sphere was still twenty or thirty feet away from him, the moment the sphere flew towards him, Nie Zhaonan suddenly felt a little frightened. This was a situation that had never occurred before when he faced the two-horned ghost king.

"The Immortal-Destroying Pearl!" The name of this object instantly popped up in Nie Zhaonan's mind.

Without any hesitation, the lightning he transformed into paused on the spot, turned a right angle, and rushed straight into the sky.

At the same time, an ancient fiery red shield, a turquoise round bead, and a palm-sized green token appeared around him. Without exception, they were all top-level ancient defensive treasures.

As the three ancient treasures flashed, a huge fiery red shield, a water curtain and a green cover were formed at the same time, forming three lines of protection in a row to protect Nie Zhaonan firmly.

However, Nie Zhaonan showed no intention of stopping his actions. He activated the sacred wood robe worn by his Nascent Soul, and a layer of chaotic light curtain emerged silently on his body. He then used all his strength to activate the Ming Wang Jue, and golden light shone from his body.

Nie Zhaonan's series of actions were very fast. He set up layers of defense in just a moment.

Even so, he had already made up his mind that if things were really impossible and he could not resist the power of the Immortal-Destroying Pearl and was in danger of being seriously injured, he would not act bravely but would enter the Zixiao Cave Heaven to hide.

Faced with the Immortal-Destroying Pearl that even the Divine Transformation cultivators were wary of, even though Nie Zhaonan was confident that his strength was not weaker than that of an ordinary Divine Transformation cultivator, he still did not dare to show any contempt.

When the leader of Yinluo Sect turned around and saw this scene, he never expected that Nie Zhaonan's spiritual perception was so sharp. He withdrew without hesitation, as if he would hide as far away as possible.

Although he cursed in his heart and his plan to inflict a heavy blow on the opponent failed, he still activated the ball in a flash.

"Boom!" A loud noise shook the sky, and black flames formed a mushroom cloud that rushed up to the sky, above the clouds, and the top was out of sight.

Although Nie Zhaonan was far away from the center of the power of the Immortal-Destroying Pearl, he was still swallowed by the sea of ​​fire and was surrounded by black flames.

The black flames were extremely violent, and as soon as they came into contact with the fiery red shield, there was a continuous "crackling" sound. Cracks appeared clearly on the surface of the shield, and finally it could not hold on and shattered, with fragments flying everywhere. This top-level ancient treasure only lasted for a moment before it was destroyed.

The water curtain and the green cover faced the same situation, and the azure beads and green tokens also exploded.

Fortunately, the defense of the three ancient treasures greatly reduced the power of the black flame. When it hit the mixed-color light shield again, it seemed to lack stamina. It broke through after a breath and sucked in Nie Zhaonan, who was shining with golden light.

It's a long story, but the explosion happened in a split second.

After a while, the black flames and the residual power of the explosion dissipated. Nie Zhaonan stood high in the sky, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes bright red, and his dark black robe, perhaps made of the silk of the blood jade spider, was not damaged by the black flames and was still as new as before.

Nie Zhaonan exhaled a breath of foul air, raised his hand and put a green pill into his mouth, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were cold, and the green thunder wings behind him opened again, turning into a flash of lightning and shooting towards the Yinluo Sect's leader who had already escaped. The lightning flashed, and the speed was far beyond what it had been before.

This was the first time in his life that he had suffered such a great loss. Not only were his three ancient treasures destroyed, but he himself was also injured.

Although he did not value the three ancient treasures and his own injuries were not serious, it was the first time that he suffered a small loss. Now the only thought in his mind was to send the leader of the Yinluo Sect who caused all this to reincarnation.

Shortly after the explosion, over a hundred miles away, in a desolate sky, a startling rainbow suddenly stopped its flight. After the light around it dimmed, it slowly descended towards the top of a peak below, and a woman in a green dress appeared.

In her hands, she held an ancient lamp full of quaint charm. A faint spiritual fire flickered at the wick. Right next to the green flame, there was a mini peacock standing on it.

These two people, one being Saint Mulan and her holy bird, were none other than Saint Mulan and her holy bird. However, for some unknown reason, not only did Saint Mulan come here alone, she also summoned out the holy bird that Mulan had worshipped in the tens of thousands.

"I didn't expect that there is still Lei Zhenzi in this human world. I don't know whether this was researched by the ancient monks here on their own, or secretly taught by people from the upper spiritual world." When Mulan Shengqin saw the huge mushroom cloud, a light flashed in his eyes, and a pleasant female voice came out.

The beautiful face of the woman surnamed Le also showed a look of surprise, and she asked respectfully, "I have seen it in the classics of our clan. Shouldn't something with such power be called the Immortal-Destroying Pearl?"

"In the human world, it is correct to call it the Immortal-Destroying Pearl. After all, this thing cannot be considered the real Lei Zhenzi, but a defective product. It can only make the Divine Transformation cultivators wary and unable to escape unscathed. However, Lei Zhenzi has a record of killing Divine Transformation cultivators several times in the spirit world. The gap between the two is still huge."

After listening to Kong Que's explanation, Saint Le showed a hint of realization on her face, but suddenly sighed and said, "Even so, the power displayed by the Immortal-Destroying Pearl is definitely not something a Nascent Soul cultivator can resist. If I were in it, I would definitely perish."

When her spiritual sense sensed the Yinluo Sect's leader and Nie Zhaonan chasing after them, Saint Le became more and more uneasy.

Although her consciousness was not as strong as that of a late Nascent Soul cultivator, she could still roughly sense the explosion. However, Nie Zhaonan did not look injured at all. Instead, the leader of the Yinluo Sect, who was left with only a dark Nascent Soul, fled to this place desperately, pinching his fingers and performing the teleportation technique without paying any attention to the loss of his essence, and he had no scruples about how his body was scattered.

That’s it, but Nie Zhaonan was still getting closer and closer.

"Saint Lady Le, please take action quickly. If I die here, the Yinluo Sect will never give up." Seeing that the woman surnamed Le stopped, Yuanying's mouth was full of pleading, and he did not forget to threaten her afterwards.

Saint Le is not a fool and she won’t really take action just because of a few words.

He just rolled his eyes when he heard that, and responded calmly: "The cooperation between Mulan and your sect ended a few days ago, so I have no reason to help. Besides, Sect Master Fang is about to die, his Nascent Soul has dissipated, and your guardian elders are not in a much better situation. They have lost more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators and the Ghost Luo Banner in a row. The Yin Luo Sect is seriously injured and has no energy left to cause trouble for us Mulan people. It's difficult for them to maintain their status as one of the top ten demon sects in Dajin, right?"

There was another aspect that she didn't say out loud. She was only looking for Nie Zhaonan according to Shengqin's instructions. When faced with Nie Zhaonan who showed his late-stage cultivation, she had no intention of fighting with him.

Hearing this, Yuanying's face darkened and he no longer had any expectations of the woman surnamed Le helping him.

Just as she said, although the Yin Luo Sect still has his junior brother, Old Demon Qian, in charge, it also has many enemies from the past. There will be many who will take advantage of the Yin Luo Sect's weakness to add insult to injury, and there are also countless who are jealous of the Yin Luo Sect's status and resources. It can be said that the Yin Luo Sect is now in danger.

not good!

Just as Yuanying was thinking, a cold snort was like a silver needle piercing into his consciousness, and a fierce pain suddenly came from his brain, catching him off guard. He screamed, and the magic formula he was pinching was interrupted. He couldn't help but hold his head with both hands, hunched over, and his face was distorted to the extreme.

This was the unique secret technique 'Shocking Soul Stab' created by Lord Dayan. Nie Zhaonan used it when his Nascent Soul was losing consciousness, which naturally made it difficult for the Yinluo Sect's leader, who only had one Nascent Soul left, to bear.

At this time, Yuanying was forcibly suppressing the severe pain in his consciousness. Under normal circumstances, he would be able to recover in two or three breaths. But now his strength has been greatly reduced, and it is not so easy to suppress it.

Fortunately, he did not experience too much pain. A clear sword sound was heard, and a small emerald green sword, only a few inches in size, pierced through his chest with a "whoosh".

Then thick golden arcs jumped out from the sword, like golden dragons, fiercely swooping towards the body of the Nascent Soul.

With one breath, the Nascent Soul was completely transformed into nothingness, without any trace left.

After killing the Yuanying, Nie Zhaonan changed direction and headed towards the mountain below. He stood more than ten feet away from where the two men fell. However, the Taiyi Divine Thunder Sword was circling around Nie Zhaonan and had not been retracted.

Mulan Shengqin glanced at the flying sword, then looked at Nie Zhaonan, whose attitude was unclear, and raised his head and said:

"What? Fellow Daoist Nie, do you want to kill the two of us here as well? If you really mean this, the two of us are definitely no match for you. It's okay for me, my main body was distracted for a moment, so the loss is just a loss. It's a pity for me, Saint Mulan." The voice was clear and calm, without a hint of threat.

"Not only did you two witness me killing the leader of Yinluo Sect, you also knew my true cultivation level. If this gets out, I am not afraid, but there will still be some minor troubles." Nie Zhaonan glanced at the man and the bird and said coldly.

The implication of the words is self-evident.

Mulan Shengqin's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he chuckled and said in a relaxed tone: "Haha, I see, I thought it was a big deal. I certainly won't intentionally spread the news about fellow Taoists."

After a pause, he turned his head and looked at the woman surnamed Le, and said in a sullen tone: "If even a little bit of what happened today gets out, you don't have to summon me again in the future." The warning in his words was self-evident.

The beautiful face of the woman surnamed Le changed. She never expected that Shengqin would have such an attitude, but she still hurriedly replied respectfully: "I will follow Shengqin's orders." Without any hesitation.

Although what happened today was enough to shock Tiannan, telling it to others would not only offend someone as powerful as Nie Zhaonan, but would also cause Shengqin to cut off contact with the Mulan people. The consequences would be serious.

"Are you satisfied now, fellow Daoist?" Mulan Shengqin said to Nie Zhaonan.

"That's naturally the best." Nie Zhaonan nodded. He didn't want to create a powerful enemy for himself who could use his spiritual power across boundaries for no reason.

After getting a satisfactory response, Nie Zhaonan took the flying sword in his hand with a wave of his hand. When he was about to put it away, Mulan Shengqin's slightly surprised voice came into his ears.

"This flying sword is made of golden thunder bamboo, right? The refining technique is extremely sophisticated. It is not the refining method that should be used in the human world." Although the words were questioning, they were definitely unusual.

Nie Zhaonan was unmoved, and put away the flying sword as if he had not heard anything. He then responded, "Daoyou is indeed a being from the upper realm. You saw the clues at a glance. The method of refining this flying sword was also obtained by me by chance. Even I am not very clear about its specific origins."

Nie Zhaonan's words were extremely general, and people could not find any fault with them, but everyone knew that they were just perfunctory remarks.

But it also makes sense. As a cultivator, most of the treasures on his body are obtained by chance. Who would easily reveal the information of their own treasures?

Mulan Shengqin knew all about this, but he didn't care. Instead, he continued with great interest, "When we first met in the battle, you showed your early stage, but your essence and pure mana were far inferior to those of a late stage cultivator, so I was very surprised. Now that you have revealed your true late stage, I know that I was shortsighted. Even if you say you are a spirit transformation cultivator, I would not have the slightest doubt. The only pity is that your mana is far less than that of a spirit transformation cultivator. Even so, I am really curious about the cultivation method you have practiced."

Her words were full of admiration for Nie Zhaonan, and even her last sentence did not show any regret.

Nie Zhaonan's magic power is naturally not what Mulan Shengqin said. Instead, most of his magic power is placed in the cave with the secret technique of "magic clone", and only a small part is revealed.
