Chapter 721: Close Your Eyes, Don’t Look!
Ning Fan used the Black Demon Escape Technique, fleeing a hundred billion miles away, and without further ado, used the Black Demon Escape Technique again.
After widening the distance to two hundred billion miles from the Fate Immortal Old Woman, Ning Fan took out a hundred Star Gate Jade Slips and crushed them simultaneously!
The teleportation directions of the hundred Star Gate Jade Slips were all different.
He would only enter one of them, and if he escaped through one, he didn’t expect that the Fate Immortal Old Woman would be able to figure out which Star Gate he used.
Ning Fan punched his chest, spitting out several mouthfuls of essence blood to forcibly speed up the Star Gate’s activation!
Now, having harmed himself to open the gate and with a distance of two hundred billion, even if the old woman could pursue him, it would be enough time for Ning Fan to activate the Star Gate and escape.
He didn’t continue using the Black Demon Escape Technique because he wanted to reserve half of his mana for unexpected situations.
He didn’t escape into the Xuan Yin Treasure because he had learned from the last time.
Chi Zhen was skilled in the art of tracking, and even if Ning Fan hid in the Xuan Yin Treasure, Chi Zhen could vaguely detect where Ning Fan was hiding, patiently waiting outside for half a month, eventually forcing Ning Fan out.
This Fate Immortal Old Woman might also be proficient in tracking; if Ning Fan escaped into the Xuan Yin Treasure, and she waited outside for three years, then things would really spiral out of control...
"Fate Immortal at Human Profound Peak!"
Ning Fan’s expression was so icy it could freeze someone to death!
He disguised his bone age, physique, and majestic appearance, pretending to be a large, unattractive man of low aptitude, yet someone still wanted to capture him as a Cauldron Furnace...
Was that Fate Immortal Old Woman blind? There were so many handsome youths, but she chose to capture him, the ’rugged man.’
"Perhaps... that old woman just happens to like your current form and appearance... I recall that in the Yao Sect Star Region, the Yao Family has a ’Yang Absorbing Fairy’ who loves capturing unattractive men as Cauldron Furnaces. It’s said that when she absorbs unattractive men, she feels a particularly humiliating satisfaction..."
In the Yuan Yao World, a gentle female voice, carried by the power of the Medicine Soul, entered Ning Fan’s divine sense.
"...So that’s how it is. Had I known this old witch likes ugly men, I would’ve disguised myself to look a bit better..."
Ning Fan sighed, waving his hand to take out various Array Plates, casting them toward the distant starry sky.
One by one, the Array Plates transformed into layers of formation light, protecting Ning Fan within.
Upon close inspection, there were actually over a hundred layers of formation light here!
Though Ning Fan was confident the old woman couldn’t chase him this fast, to ensure he had enough time to activate the Star Gate, he still needed to set up some formation light to buy time, just in case.
Rumble!
As time ticked by, one Star Gate after another appeared in the void amidst the roaring sounds.
The moment the Star Gates opened one by one, without a word, Ning Fan stepped into one of them, fleeing five hundred billion miles away, heading straight for the other end of the Yao Sect Star Region.
Just over ten breaths after Ning Fan fled this place, the Fate Immortal Old Woman arrived here, riding on a black cloud.
Looking at the hundred-plus layers of formation light, the old woman’s eyes showed disdain. She raised her hand and summoned a blood-colored pearl, casting it toward the layers of formation light.
Among the over a hundred layers of formation light, there were also Immortal Array patterns.
But that blood-colored pearl was the old woman’s life-bound magical treasure, immensely powerful, breaking all the layers of formation light with a single strike!
"Little darling, nowhere left to run, huh? Still not coming out to have some fun with your big sister..."
The old woman’s voice was hoarse and unpleasant, an ugly smile hanging on her face, as she swept away all the shattered formation light with a flick of her sleeve.
In her view, having shattered all of Ning Fan’s formation light, Ning Fan surely had no way to escape.
Yet before she finished her words, her smile froze on her old face.
After the formation light was broken, what appeared were not the trapped Ning Fan without an escape, but a full hundred gradually disappearing Star Gates!
In an instant, the Fate Immortal Old Woman’s face turned livid!
She was actually a step too late; Ning Fan had forced open a Star Gate and escaped!
The Star Gates had not yet dispersed, indicating Ning Fan hadn’t fled far!
Since he hadn’t fled far, it was still possible to catch up!
The problem now is, which Star Gate did Ning Fan use, and which direction did he flee?
A hundred Star Gates, all in different directions.
If she pursued the wrong direction, she would definitely let Ning Fan get away.
"Interesting! Interesting! Playing hide-and-seek with your big sister, are you? Fine, very well! This time, you truly made your big sister angry! If I catch you, I’ll bite you piece by piece! Taste you well!"
The old woman called herself big sister with every word, without feeling that saying such things was disgusting for someone of her stature.
"Immortal Technique, Transformation of Insects!"
The old woman bit her finger, letting red blood flow out, which then turned into black blood, and the black blood transformed into countless black flying insects.
With a change of the spirit sense, the black insects flew immediately in a certain direction.
The old woman rejoiced, having discovered Ning Fan’s direction and knowing which Star Gate he used.
Fortunately, just as Ning Fan passed through the Array Gate, she had secretly left a slight special scent on him.
The scent was undetectable by people, invisible to beasts, and only the insects conjured by the Transformation of Insects could sense it.
The old woman didn’t expect these insects to catch up with Ning Fan; she only needed them to confirm the direction, allowing her plenty of ways to pursue Ning Fan.
She patted her storage pouch, took out a Star Gate Jade Slip, and without a word, crushed it.
After a long while, the Star Gate opened!
The old woman’s cultivation was higher than Ning Fan’s, allowing her to open the Star Gate faster than Ning Fan who opened it by harming himself!
On an Abandoned Star, having traversed five hundred billion miles, Ning Fan appeared.
As soon as he landed, he hurriedly began to open the next Star Gate.
Facing the Fate Immortal at Human Profound Peak, Ning Fan had no certainty of victory!
Even though the opponent was a woman, and even though Ning Fan’s Yin Yang Transformation countered women, the disparity in cultivation was too great for Ning Fan to be entirely confident of winning!
He kept the grudge against the Yao Family noted, but knew that with his current cultivation, it was hard to seek revenge on the Yao Family for now!
For the time being, the only plan was to escape first!
As moments passed, the Star Gate was half-opened.
Suddenly, warning bells rang in Ning Fan’s heart, and without hesitation, he abandoned the Star Gate, using the Black Demon Escape Technique to leave instantly.
Just as he left, a gigantic Star Gate appeared on the Abandoned Star behind him.
From within the Star Gate, the Fate Immortal Old Woman stepped out, raising her hand to summon an immortal treasure rope aimed at Ning Fan for capture.
Alas, she was still a step slower, allowing Ning Fan to escape once more.
"Hmph! Fast runner! Your escape technique is indeed formidable, but your realm is still low. You won’t be able to use this technique many more times!"
Hiss!
The old woman sneered, stepping on the black cloud to pursue Ning Fan directly.
The hundred billion miles gap quickly closed by the old woman.
Feeling the rushing escape light getting closer and closer from behind, Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with a killing intent.
His mana was only enough for one more Black Demon Escape Technique!
Fleeing again would be meaningless!
Escaping into the Xuan Yin Treasure couldn’t truly rid of the calamity!
Arranging the Chaotic Ancient Formation Patterns would take at least a day and night, as the pattern rank is too high...
Fighting head-on, the odds of success were too low.
Then, let’s play dirty!
The old woman captured him to absorb his essence, right...
Ning Fan retracted his escape light, no longer fleeing.
His eyes swept across a nearby Abandoned Star, and he escaped there, carving out a temporary cave in a barren mountain.
With a cold smile, Ning Fan took out numerous furnishings, sitting on the bed, waiting for the old woman to arrive!
"Ning Fan, why, why aren’t you running! Do you intend to, do you intend to..." Ouyang Nuan’s anxious voice echoed in his Heart Spirit.
"Hmm, can’t escape, so it’s better not to run, save some mana for counterattack! Whatever happens next, don’t look... to avoid tainting your eyes!"
Ning Fan did not offer much explanation, but it did not prevent Ouyang Nuan from understanding Ning Fan’s intentions.
"That Yang Absorbing Fairy is old, hideous, and filthy..."
"So, do not look!"
At this moment, Ning Fan’s gaze was icy cold, reminiscent of countless years ago, during a time of humiliation by a female demon with no power to resist.
He won’t harm those he loves, won’t kill any Cauldron Furnace, but that doesn’t mean he won’t kill women!
Soon, the elderly hag caught up to the Abandoned Star and saw that Ning Fan not only didn’t flee but opened a cave on this star, waiting for her arrival, causing her to squint her old eyes and snort coldly.
"Not fleeing, eh? Planning to kill me while I’m distracted in bed, huh? Haha, quite a ruthless kid, but I like it! But you won’t have the chance to kill me!"
The black clouds collected as the elderly hag landed outside the cave, walking step by step towards Ning Fan.
Ning Fan remained with his eyes closed, appearing to be meditating. As the elderly hag approached, Ning Fan suddenly raised his hand, and from his palm, a black gold sword light shot straight towards the elderly hag’s Dantian!
In an instant, the elderly hag’s expression changed drastically, cold sweat pouring from her body in fright.
"Dao Weapon!"
The Dao Weapon was fiercely sharp, stabbing straight at her Dantian. If it pierced the Dantian and destroyed the Spirit, despite her high cultivation, she would meet her end!
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, flicking a finger to send the small black gold sword flying.
After all, it was a Dao Weapon that hadn’t been refined, its power too weak.
If it had been a refined Dao Weapon, she wouldn’t have been able to flick it away with a single finger.
Having missed with the black gold sword, Ning Fan said nothing, generating a phantom whirlpool at his feet, disappearing instantly.
Simultaneously, a phantom whirlpool appeared behind the elderly hag, and Ning Fan appeared directly behind her without any warning!
With a wave of his sleeve, the black gold sword that had been knocked away shattered and condensed again, appearing directly in Ning Fan’s hand.
A Dao Weapon can be summoned back to hand at any time!
Slash!
This sword was directly aimed at the elderly hag’s back!
Murderous intent surfaced in the elderly hag’s eyes. Despite her caution, Ning Fan’s sneak attack was unlikely to touch her with a single finger!
After all, her cultivation far surpassed Ning Fan’s!
The black gold sword couldn’t even touch her body!
This is why Ning Fan had not yet used the Yin Plucking Finger or Yin Imprisoning Rope!
The realm gap was too large; Ning Fan couldn’t possibly touch the Fate Immortal Old Woman!
"Humph!"
The elderly hag snorted heavily, her body immediately transforming into countless black insect shadows and disappearing.
Ning Fan’s sword struck only air!
In the next instant, the insect shadows wrapped around Ning Fan, and an invisible strong force tossed Ning Fan onto the bed.
The insect shadows condensed again, reformed the elderly hag’s physical form, and with a finger pointed through the air, the finger radiance struck heavily on Ning Fan.
That was the strength of a single Human Profound Peak-stage finger!
Just one finger left Ning Fan heavily injured, on the brink of death, his breaths faint.
Inside, he secretly used the Black Star Technique to heal, hiding this fact from the elderly hag.
"Now, you can’t move, can you? Now, you should obediently be ravaged by me, shouldn’t you?"
The elderly hag revealed her sharp white teeth and smiled cruelly.
"Let me tell you, when I drain Cauldron Furnaces, I never show mercy. My preference is to play them to death!"
She stripped off her clothing, revealing an extremely hideous body.
In the Yuan Yao World, Ouyang Nuan bit her lip with her pearly teeth, causing it to bleed.
How could she tolerate her beloved being humiliated by such an ugly hag...
Ning Fan closed his eyes, hiding a trace of pain.
That pain wasn’t from this moment, but from recalling the pain of the past at the All Pleasure Sect.
The current him was already a cold-hearted demon, wouldn’t be pained by such things!
He opened his eyes, a flash of ferocity in them.
This moment, the elderly hag was completely unguarded!
One finger for Yin Plucking Finger, one hand for Yin Imprisoning Rope, both techniques employed!
A tremendously dangerous feeling arose sharply in the elderly hag’s heart!
At this moment, she was still excitedly stripping Ning Fan’s clothes, pondering how to enjoy herself after stripping Ning Fan bare.
She never imagined that the Ning Fan she thought had been disabled with a finger, could still move, could still retaliate!
She had no idea of the might of Ning Fan’s Black Star Technique, though gravely injured, it didn’t necessarily mean he couldn’t move!
She was even more unaware that Ning Fan possessed the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Treasure, making him the strongest practitioner of Yin Yang Transformation in the world, as a female, it was imperative not to approach Ning Fan, or face the consequences!
Upon sensing the crisis, the elderly hag instinctively tried to escape but was already too late.
Hundreds, thousands of finger shadows struck her body.
One Yin Imprisoning Rope after another bound the elderly hag into a cocoon!
The power of Yin Plucking and the power of Imprisonment surged crazily into the elderly hag’s body, rendering her unable to channel her mana!
"What...what kind of bewitching technique is this, so powerful! A mere Void Fragmentation ant can restrain me with a bewitching technique!"
The elderly hag wanted to move, but was powerless to do so.
Knowing she had fallen into Ning Fan’s trap, the elderly hag glared at Ning Fan with hatred, swearing that once she broke free of this damned bewitching technique, she would dismember Ning Fan to vent her fury!
"Break!"
The elderly hag hardened her heart and self-destructed half of her Spirit, temporarily restoring her mana to the Human Profound Intermediate Stage!
In an instant, she broke free from the bonds of the Yin Imprisoning Rope!
The Yin Plucking Finger power continued to surge within, temporarily unable to be expelled, else her cultivation might temporarily be restored to the Human Profound Advanced Stage!
"Die!"
A flash of black star appeared on the elderly hag’s brow, her hideous head suddenly transforming into a gigantic black insect head, biting down on Ning Fan.
A flash of demonic thoughts in Ning Fan’s eyes, a black gold sword radiance slashed into his body, disintegrating the physical form, transforming into a Blood Demon!
The elderly hag gradually transformed into an insect, Ning Fan, however, transformed into a demon in an instant!
With a flash of blood light, Ning Fan vanished without a trace, while the elderly hag’s insect head was chopped off, flying high!
Having slashed down the head, the elderly hag’s body immediately dispersed into countless insect shadows, re-condensing outside the cave, forming a towering black giant that stood sixty thousand feet tall!
The giant had an insect head and a human body!
"Young one, who are you! I am a Master of the Yao Family, how dare you harbor deadly intent towards me! Even if you escape today, the Yao Family will never let you go! In the Eastern Heaven Immortal World, you shall find no place to stand!"
The Insect Head Giant roared.
"You think your Yao Family is anything special, that it can make Ning Fan find no place to stand in Eastern Heaven!"
With Blood Demon body, Ning Fan stepped down, causing the entire Abandoned Star to crumble amidst an astral roar!
If possible, he didn’t wish to antagonize the Yao Family.
But they’ve provoked him, want his life, can he escape? Can he endure? Can he let go? Can he avoid?
No!
The Human Profound Intermediate-stage elderly hag was no longer frightening!
"You dare insult my Yao Family, fine, very good!"
Insect Head Giant formed finger gestures, black insect shadows instantly covering the entirety of the starry sky in this small region!
