Chapter 376 Half True, Half False
Chigua Island.
The black tide has spread to the main peak, and the island owner's cave has been submerged by the black tide, but the cave's restrictions are still glowing, indicating that the formation has not been corroded yet. Huang Yihan's daughter may still be saved.
"Ga~~~"
On the mountainside, black shadows rushed into the sky. After the crimson demons that had already attacked Chigua Island discovered Ning Daoran's arrival, they let out sharp screams and rushed over.
Ning Daoran raised his hand and drew out the Qiu Shui Sword. The chaotic spiritual power poured into the sword body and he directly slashed out an arc-shaped sword intent of the Yin-Yang Sword Technique. In an instant, several crimson demons were cut in half. The chaotic fire quickly burned along the damage on their waists, turning them into ashes.
"Friend Ning!"
In the air, Lin Tiannan's figure instantly moved from more than ten miles away, and he saw at least thousands of crimson demons running rampant on Chigua Island.
“Ga ga ga~~~”
When they sensed the fluctuations of the Nascent Soul cultivator's magic power in the air, a group of Crimson Demons all looked up. They all showed excited expressions, as if they saw a plate of delicious meat served on the table. Then they rushed towards Lin Tiannan regardless of everything.
Ning Daoran frowned. No wonder the Nascent Soul and Yuanying cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness were unwilling to go to the Black Tide to face these Crimson Demons. Although the Yuanying cultivators could kill the Crimson Demons by overflowing their magic power, they were also delicious food in the eyes of the Crimson Demons. Once surrounded by a large number of Crimson Demons, the mortality rate of the Yuanying cultivators was also very high.
"A bunch of beasts!"
Lin Tiannan descended from the sky, raised his hand and pointed, and suddenly a golden sword burst out from his fingertips. The moment it passed through the sky, a golden throne image appeared in the air. In an instant, the bodies of dozens of crimson demons exploded and turned into pieces that kept disappearing.
Although the Crimson Demon can absorb and be immune to the Five Elements magic power, as long as this Five Elements magic power is strong enough, so strong that the Crimson Demon cannot consume it, it will naturally cause them to explode and die from suffocation.
“Senior Lin!”
Ning Daoran raised the Autumn Water Sword and frowned, saying, "Senior, please help me to cover for a while. The person in this cave is Huang Yiyi, the daughter of the island owner Huang Yihan. I will rescue her right away."
"good!"
Lin Tiannan floated down, and the golden sword around him swirled, continuously attacking the crimson demon.
The sword exuded the aura of a magical treasure. It was Lin Tiannan's natal magical treasure, the Golden Luan Sword, a divine sword that was well-known in the entire Yunzhou's immortal cultivation world!
"break!"
Ning Daoran raised his hand and typed out a word from the heavenly book, instantly breaking the loose cave. He jumped into the cave and saw a girl in a beige dress. She was holding a spiritual weapon in her hand, and her beautiful eyes looked at Ning Daoran who appeared in front of her with panic.
This girl was none other than Huang Yihan's daughter, Huang Yiyi. Ning Daoran had met her twice. She was only eighteen years old, but had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and was very much loved by Huang Yihan.
“Yiyi!”
Ning Daoran said seriously: "I am your Uncle Ning!"
"ah?!"
Huang Yiyi burst into tears and said, "Uncle Ning, my father..."
"Yes, he has died."
Ning Daoran raised his hand and used a wisp of Changqing Jue magic power to wrap Huang Yiyi's body, saying: "He asked me to save you before he died. Let's go, I will take you away from here!"
"Uncle Ning..."
Huang Yiyi burst into tears instantly. No matter how much Huang Yihan coveted Sui Zhuyue before, or how he ruthlessly killed Nangong Rou later, he was obviously a very qualified father, and the relationship between the father and daughter was extremely deep.
"Walk!"
Ning Daoran took Huang Yiyi out of the cave and saw the scene outside where Lin Tiannan was besieged by thousands of crimson demons. Although his magic power was enough to defeat the crimson demons, the other side was outnumbered and powerful, and he was unable to cope with it for a while.
“Senior Lin!”
Ning Daoran raised his hand and swung his sword: "You can come to Liuhua Island to avoid the limelight. You can't confront these crimson demons head-on."
As he spoke, he easily cut dozens of crimson demons in half with this sword!
“…”
Lin Tiannan was slightly startled, shocked by Ning Daoran's move. The sword he swung was indeed profound, full of the artistic conception of the Liangyi Sect's Liangyi Sword Art, but what surprised Lin Tiannan even more was that when Ning Daoran's sword hit Jiang Mo, Jiang Mo didn't absorb any of his magic power, and was killed directly! It was the first time that Lin Tiannan had seen Jiang Mo killed so easily.
Sure enough, just as he had speculated at the beginning, the Liuhua Island Master he appointed had a big secret hidden in him. However, it was not surprising, as the person whom Shen Luoyan visited repeatedly must be no simple person.
"Walk!"
Lin Tiannan swung his sword, his magic power surged, and he also crushed dozens of crimson demons. He and Ning Daoran turned into two rays of light and rushed straight to Liuhua Island. Just when they were about to enter the barrier, Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves, and the corner of the formation was lifted, allowing the two to enter the island.
"Young Master!"
Inside the barrier, Sui Zhuyue rushed over with a worried look on her face, biting her red lips.
"I'm fine."
Ning Daoran smiled and said, "Isn't this a complete return?"
"Um……"
Sui Zhuyue nodded, but then she noticed the woman in the beige skirt who returned with her.
"Huang Yiyi?"
"Sister Zhuyue..."
Huang Yiyi once came to Liuhua Island with her father as a guest and to do business, and had met Sui Zhuyue many times.
"I'm glad you're okay."
Sui Zhuyue held Huang Yiyi's hand, and felt quite emotional when she learned that Huang Yihan had died.
"Zhuyue, take Yiyi to the cave to settle down. I have something to say to City Lord Lin."
"yes!"
Only then did Sui Zhuyue realize that the person who entered the formation with Ning Daoran was actually the Yuanying Zhenjun City Lord of Kunpeng Fairy City. Her mind was completely on the young master and she didn't notice this Yuanying at all. Suddenly, Sui Zhuyue felt a little embarrassed and bowed to Lin Tiannan.
Lin Tiannan didn't care at all. He walked to the edge of the barrier with Ning Daoran. Looking at the crimson demon outside who was still attacking the barrier, he frowned and said in a voice transmission: "Although the crimson demon is still attacking the formation, the black tide doesn't seem to be spreading any further. Why is that?"
Ning Daoran would certainly not tell anyone about how he had entered the source of the black tide and sealed the dimensional rift. This was too shocking and if he was not careful he would end up in the core vortex of the East Wilderness's immortal cultivation world. He was only a middle-stage Jindan now and should not be involved in a Yuanying-level vortex, as that would easily lead to his early death.
"I don't know either."
He frowned and said, "This black tide appeared suddenly, will it disappear suddenly as well?"
"No way."
Lin Tiannan said: "According to the historical records of the Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World, any black tide that appears will last for at least dozens or even hundreds of years and will not recede automatically. Is this the first time that Little Friend Ning has to deal with a black tide?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Not really."
Ning Daoran shook his head: "The city lord should also know my origins. I come from the Chaos Sect in Qingzhou. Back then, the Chaos Sect's ancestor Lin Qing'er and my senior sister Jiang Yu led the Chaos Sect to participate in the border war and died in the Black Tide. I went to the Black Tide once several decades ago and had some contact with the Crimson Demon."
"so……"
Lin Tiannan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What method did you use to avoid the advantage of the crimson demon and kill it with one strike?"
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the city lord."
Ning Daoran said, "I caught a crimson demon and sealed it in a magic weapon. After studying crimson demons for many years, I finally found a way to escape the five elements. It can't be said to be a one-shot kill, and it consumes a huge amount of mana and vitality. It can be regarded as a method of exchanging life for life..."
As he spoke, he showed a look of shame.
Only tell half the story, half true and half false, which makes it even more difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
"Um……"
Lin Tiannan seemed to be thinking: "Can this method of yours be promoted? If everyone in my Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World could kill the Crimson Demon with one strike, there wouldn't be so many casualties."
“It’s difficult.”
Ning Daoran said: "This method has strict requirements. It requires the practitioner to have five spiritual roots and have strong sensitivity to the five kinds of spiritual energy. In addition, it is necessary to practice the five kinds of skills representing the five elements to perfection. After that, you can rely on your understanding to blend the mysteries among them and condense a method that jumps out of the five elements."
“…”
Lin Tiannan was speechless.
It seems that the conditions are indeed harsh. First of all, having five spiritual roots is quite outrageous. Among the cultivators he knows, those in the Jindan and Yuanying stages do not have spiritual roots of the top three grades. Not to mention these, even those in the foundation-building stage rarely have five spiritual roots.
"Could it be that Young Master Ning has five spiritual roots?"
"Exactly."
Ning Daoran was a little embarrassed: "When I left the village, I had ninth-grade mixed spiritual roots, not even as good as fifth-grade spiritual roots. Fortunately, I later practiced the Changqing Jue, and the sensitivity of my wood and fire dual-attribute spiritual roots reached the middle grade."
"I see……"
Lin Tiannan felt a little guilty. He asked too many questions. Ning Daoran actually told him all his secrets.
"Keeping these crimson demons here will only bring disaster."
Lin Tiannan groaned: "Should we two attack together and kill them in batches?"
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Then, two figures rushed out of the formation, killed hundreds of crimson demons after a fierce bombardment, and then returned. After recovering their magic power, they went out of the formation again to strangle the crimson demons.
In this way, after several times, all the crimson demons on the three Liuhua Islands had been strangled to death, and not a single one escaped.
The independent cultivators on Liuhua Island had a feast for their eyes. It was the first time for most of them to see the Crimson Demon in the Black Tide, and it was also the first time for them to see Lin Tiannan, the master of Nantian Palace, use his fourth-tier spiritual treasure, the Golden Luan Sword!
Of course, more people were amazed at the fighting power of Ning Daoran, the master of Liuhua Island. It turned out that the legends were true. Although this master of Liuhua Island was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core, he really had the fighting power to join forces with those in the Nascent Soul stage!
Moreover, the person who joined forces with him was Lin Tiannan, a middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who was famous in the Eastern Wasteland Immortal Cultivation World! ...
Near noon.
Flying boats appeared on the west side, and the army of monks from Kunpeng Immortal City arrived late.
"Palace Master."
Chen Liang clasped his fists respectfully and said, "For some reason the black tide has begun to recede. Shall I take someone to investigate?"
"Um."
Lin Tiannan nodded: "I will return to the Immortal City first. You must remember that there may still be crimson demons in the black tide. You must wait until the black tide dissipates before investigating to avoid causing damage."
