Grasping Evil

The second female general, Ning Fan, entered the door, and as soon as he entered, he saw two neat rows of ten people, the old and the minority, kneeling on both sides, saying, "Thank you, Lord, for saving me, Saintess Chu Lie." words like that.

These people are also in shackles.

Ning Fan's face was calm, but his heart was a little embarrassed. He is not a real benefactor of Chu Lie. On the contrary, he still has the blood debt of Chu Lie's disciple Pi Xiong in his hands, and he even captured the Saintess of Chu Lie as a soul-locking slave.

With a gust of wind again, he helped everyone up and said, "I don't like others to kneel and worship, so please don't do this in the future."

"Understood, understood." All the young and old nodded in agreement.

An older man who was standing in the front asked, "Master Dolan and Commander Luo are discussing matters in the main hall, and told me to wait and treat Master Ning well, not to neglect. I have already arranged the yard for Master Ning and take care of it. Okay, the pill room, meditation room, study room, some new things have been built. Lord Ning might as well go take a look first, if you are not satisfied, the little old man will immediately send someone to repurchase..."

"Don't bother, I can live anywhere." Ning Fan glanced at everyone's worn clothes.

This place is called Forty-seven Prison, and these people are all in shackles, most of them are prisoners. But in everyone's blood, there is a trace of kinship with Dolan near or far...

"Master Dolan instructed the little old man to tell Master Ning that Master Ning can take care of himself here. As for my Chu Lie's lineage, Master Ning doesn't need to care about it, just make every effort to prepare for the second round of seizing the mausoleum." The old man said again. road.

Ning Fan nodded, it seems that Dolan can solve the trouble here, but he doesn't need to worry about it.

It was getting late, the old man sent someone to take Ning Fan and Wu Laoba to the residence. The decoration of the room is not luxurious, but it can be seen that it is very attentive, and many decorations are newly added.

The two girls who had welcomed Ning Fan to the entrance before then stayed and served Ning Fan.

The two women were standing beside the screen, a little embarrassed. From time to time they glanced at Wu Laoba, who had a bad face, and seemed to be a little scared; when facing Ning Fan, it was quite natural, not afraid of Ning Fan, and even from time to time because of Ning Fan. Eyes blushing.

This makes Wu Laoba very aggrieved. He considers himself handsome and suave, but these little girls don't know how to appreciate it. They only like to see Ning Fan's weak and weak appearance. Hey, today's little girls have good taste. really bad...

"Are you speaking ill of me in your heart again?" Ning Fan gave Wu Laoba a deep look, Wu Laoba suddenly shivered, and he wondered if the evil star could read his heart? Just as he was about to defend a sentence or two, Ning Fan said again,

"In the daytime, I said there will be punishment, are you mentally prepared?"

"It's done... done, Xiaoba is willing to take all the punishment, just ask the master not to sell Xiaoba, and don't let Xiaoba serve as servants." Wu Laoba still hasn't forgotten the stalk of the slave market.

puff.

The two women who were serving on the side laughed out, causing Wu Laoba to glare at him, and the two women's faces turned pale with fright.

In the face of such a Wu Laoba, Ning Fan really felt that he was not beaten or scolded. He tapped his knuckles on the table, thinking about finding a way to punish Wu Laoba well, but he had no experience in this area. , I really can't think of a good punishment for a while.

The meaning of punishment is to make Wu Laoba have a long memory, but this guy is obviously the kind of person who can fall in a pit ten times and then fall again... In this case, what is the use of punishment?

But if you don't get punished, this guy may have to go to heaven, so he has to beat one or two...

It took a long time for Ning Fan to make a decision, and he said to Wu Laoba, "I punish you to inquire about the innate soul nourishing medicine, how about you?"

I really can't think of how to punish this guy, so Ning Fan simply used Wu Laoba's specialties to play a role...

"Just asking for news? This punishment is really too light. The master must be reluctant to punish Xiaoba. Sure enough, the master's heart is soft, warm, kind, and..."

"Of course it's not as simple as asking for news. If there is a magic medicine that can be obtained, you must get it depending on the situation!"

"This... This is a bit difficult. Although the innate-level elixir is not uncommon for me and other ancients, it is not a Chinese cabbage. If you just ask for information, Xiaoba can still make some efforts, but if you can get it, it will be possible. At once…"

Wu Laoba has a bitter expression on his face. Since Ning Fan saved him, his heart has actually changed a little. He has made up his mind that he will not push back on Ning Fan's demands in the future, and he will repay Ning Fan's life-saving grace no matter what. . But because of this incident, Wu Laoba has a shadow on the idiots of the Dabei clan, for fear that the next idiot he encounters will be an incomparably powerful quasi-sage. With his black luck, he is rampant in this Dabei clan.

"Don't worry, it's just to let you succeed by normal means. After all, the innate elixir is still valuable. The worst thing is to trade it. If you have enough, you can exchange it with what you have. If it is not enough, come and find it. Me, I'll find a way."

"If it's just a normal transaction, Xiaoba is willing to share the worries for the master!"

"Well, you should go to rest too."

"Yes, Xiao Ba will leave immediately, and will never disturb the master's good deeds!"

Wu Laoba glanced at Ning Fan and the two girls vaguely, smiled and backed away.

This kind of joke, Ning Fan heard too much, and naturally didn't take it seriously, but the two girls were a little thin-skinned, and they were blushing from shame.

They were sent here to serve as ordinary handmaids, not to serve under the bed... How could that ugly old man say that about them? Sure enough, the old man with the surname Wu was not a good person at first glance.

I don't know that Wu Laoba, who has been slandered by the second woman, sneezed in the corridor, feeling greatly puzzled.

"It's getting late, I don't know if Lord Ning has the habit of bathing. If so, the maid will go and boil water for the Lord." After Wu Laoba left, the two daughters became more natural and asked Ning Fan respectfully.

bath...cough...cough...

Ning Fan was really embarrassed to say that since he cultivated his true self, he often did not take a bath for decades or decades. After all, once the mana was blown, his body would be extremely clean, and many of the habits of mortals had long since given up.

It takes months and years to meditate at a time. If you still maintain the habit of taking a bath, you will not be able to cultivate this way...

However, the Dabei people retained many mortal habits, so Ning Fan had to tell himself in his heart, just follow the customs.

"Alright, but let's boil the water later. I have something to ask you. First, I don't know what the two of you are called, and what does it have to do with Miss Dolan?"

"My name is Chunjun, and her name is Chengying. We and the other prisoners here are all blood relatives within three generations of the previous Chu Liedi, and they are the true clansmen of Saintess Dolan." The slightly older woman replied.

"I see."

Ning Fan nodded, thinking that these people are really related to Dolan, and they can't be judged by ordinary Chu Lie disciples.

At the same time, Ning Fan was also interested in the names of these two women. Whether Chunjun or Chengying, they all seemed to be the names of ancient swords. It was quite surprising that such a sharp name was given to a woman. for chic.

"You two are named after ancient swords, but you don't seem to have practiced kendo?"

"My lord, I don't know, it was my two uncles who named us—the former Chu Liedi, the old man who loved swords became crazy, but not us. But it doesn't work. In my humble beginnings, not everyone needs to practice cultivation. His uncle, the former Chu Lie Emperor, also taught us this: If you don't intend to, don't cultivate the Tao. Therefore, the sinners who live here are mostly cultivated. Not high, the powerhouse above Shekong, even Luo Shi is the only one who leads one. But it is also because the cultivation base is not high that we can save our lives..."

If you don't want to, don't fix it...

Ning Fan muttered these words, only to feel that his thoughts were surprisingly similar to the previous Chu Lie Emperor. Cultivation is not such a beautiful thing, it's really not as good as ordinary ordinary people who have lived a lifetime. If there are not too many powerful enemies, and they have to improve their cultivation, Ning Fan is really willing to put love on the mountains and rivers, and live a normal life, rather than living this kind of bloody blood. Rainy life.

Just can't choose...

"Tell me, what is this forty-seven prison, and why are you all wearing shackles, like prisoners?" Ning Fan asked again.

The two daughters were suddenly a little surprised, "Don't you know? It's no wonder that you are a foreign cultivator, so it's not surprising that you don't know. My humble rule, if the Immortal Emperor commits a serious crime, he will be implicated in his family, but only three generations will be implicated, and It is not directly implicated and will not be executed. Instead, we will save our lives and act as slaves to atone for our sins. We were implicated because of the affairs of the previous Chu Lie Emperor, and we are slaves that cannot be sold. If the sentence is completed, he can get rid of his slave status and live in Liuli City as an ordinary person. The Luo Shi commander and the minority people are the first to be sentenced, and we are still a few days away, so we still dress like prisoners. In fact, it is not bad. , it is the Lingzong lineage who is in the way... ah!"

The woman named Chengying was answering when she was suddenly covered by Chunjun, who made a color: Lord Dolan ordered, you can't tell Lord Ning Fan about this matter!

If you don't tell it, Ning Fan won't know?

He, who knew the art of whispering, had already seen from the hearts of the two daughters how the disciples of Chu Lie encountered troubles here, and immediately frowned slightly.

The lineage of Lingzong seems to be the lineage mentioned by the Shameless White Deer, but the lineage that can be used to sell his wife for glory...

Judging from the hearts of the two girls, so far, Dolan has handled the matter fairly smoothly. That's all, since Dolan didn't let him intervene, he didn't ask.

After asking the second daughter some questions, Ning Fan asked the second daughter to boil water.

And then sent back the two daughters, like ordinary people, took a bath after decades of absence...

On the second day together, Ning Fan didn't see Dolan's figure. It seemed that he was out to do errands. As for Wu Laoba, he went out to inquire about the innate soul-boosting elixir.

Instead of wandering around in Liuli City, Ning Fan stayed in the house and meditated, continuing to sort out the insights he had gained on Baihua Peak. It’s just that the ancient demons are destroyed, and they gradually understand, but the understanding of reincarnation is difficult to gain.

Three days passed in a flash, and at 9:30 on the fourth day, Ning Fan informed Chunjun and Chengying and went out. At a quarter of noon, the Blood Martial Ranking Tournament begins!

As the name suggests, the ranking battle is to determine the top 100 rankings. The top 100 powerhouses can become the guests of the blood martial arts arena, and enjoy the treatment of the guests here. Naturally, the higher the ranking, the better the treatment.

In addition, each Ranking Tournament has rich rewards, so the previous Ranking Tournaments have been held by a large number of applicants, but the number of people who can come to this arena is limited.

Tickets for the qualifying battles were even sold to sky-high prices by the Blood Martial Arena, and even the lowest seat cost 200,000 stone coins. Two hundred thousand stone coins is about equal to two hundred thousand medicine soul stones...

There is also a place where medicine soul stones can be exchanged for stone coins. Of course, Ning Fan does not need to exchange stone coins to buy tickets. He came to participate directly.

When the time came, Ning Fan had already arrived at the No. 1 arena of the Blood Martial Arena as scheduled. Ning Fan, like the other contestants, stayed in their separate lounges before entering the arena, and was required to wear masks and special shirts before entering the arena, in order to conceal their identities.

All the contestants were given a mask, some in the shape of animals, some in the shape of ghosts and gods, and all kinds of them. Ning Fan even saw a horn mask that was exactly the same as Xian Yuchun in some of the masks.

Ning Fan also received a mask, a fire fox mask.

From a close-up observation, Ning Fan discovered that the mask's ability to conceal the breath is extremely heaven-defying. Although it is not as good as his innate ghost mask, it is also limited. However, these masks seem to have a limit on the number of times they can be used, and they can't be used after four or five uses , not something durable.

It's no wonder that there are more than 1,000 people participating in the qualifying competition today, so how can we distribute the real good goods one by one.

"Everyone in this battle, be sure to abide by the rules of my blood martial arts arena. Once you participate in the battle, you will not be your former identity, but a soldier, a soldier who cannot be held accountable even if he loses his life! There are three major prohibitions here, and no one is allowed to violate it. , Violators will be killed without mercy! First, during the game, you are not allowed to disclose your identity here! Second, you are not allowed to identify others during the game! Third, you are not allowed to attack the judge!"

Before entering the arena, all the contestants heard the sound transmission, and Ning Fan was no exception.

In the pre-match lounge, dozens of shirts and armors were displayed, all of which were custom-made in the blood martial arena. Ning Fan could choose one of them to wear, and he was not allowed to wear his own clothes to participate in the battle.

There are the types of battle armor that Ning Fan has never seen before, and there are four-day clothing that Ning Fan is used to.

The fox mask Ning Fan got was fiery red, so he chose a fiery red battle armor to wear. It wasn't a full-body armor, only a few pieces of armor for decoration, and the defense was poor. It was really just good-looking.

This is naturally for the sake of fairness. If the armor issued by the blood martial arena is too high, it will most likely affect the outcome of the competition, which is not allowed.

Interestingly, the moment the armor was put on, the mask seemed to have a certain fit with the armor, and among the latter two, a ban was triggered, and a voice transmission was sent out to tell Ning Fan a message.

It turns out that although the masks are similar, the armors are all unique. Different masks and different armors will get completely different codes. In the blood martial arena, the name Ning Fan is meaningless, only the code name given by the armor will be known by the audience!

"Remember your code name - Killing Fox!"

Killing a Fox... Ning Fan was wearing a fox mask, but the code name he got was Killing a Fox, which seemed a little unlucky. Of course, Ning Fan didn't care about such trivial matters.

And as soon as he entered the venue, he found that there were a lot of people whose names were wrong.

For example, someone wears a ghost's face, but the code name is "Destroyer Ghosts".

Someone wears an emperor's mask, but the code name is Tu Huang...

Um?

I don't know if it was an illusion or not. In the crowd, the contestant named Tu Huang seemed to glance in his direction, his eyes were unpredictable and cold, which gave Ning Fan a sense of danger.

That coldness is not malicious, but he has experienced a lot of blood, so he is a little cold and unfeeling. Such a demonic gaze is almost the only one seen in Ning Fan's life, and even he has a little awe! Xindao is really crouching in this blood martial arts ranking battle, and it is not easy to get the reward of the innate elixir, and this Tu Huang also needs to be careful...

Well, let's give it a try!

The person who presided over this qualifying battle was an old man in red, who had a cultivation base in the early days of Shainian. In this blood martial arena, he was called a judge.

The adjudicator cannot be attacked. The reason for this prohibition is that someone in the past had killed all the other contestants by themselves. In the end, they were still not happy, and even the adjudicator was killed, which made him angry. After entering the Xuewu arena, he wanted to kill this person, but that person still survived and left from the Xuewu arena.

Time passed little by little, and gradually, almost all the contestants put on their masks and entered the arena, and only a few did not come, were late, or abstained.

The ruling made the old man look at the time, closed the door to the lounge, and the admission officially ended, and roars and cheers suddenly sounded above the amphitheater.

Gradually, the cheers converged, and only one word remained.

kill! kill! kill!

The audience doesn't care who wins the first place. What they want to see is killing and blood splattering everywhere!

Naturally, there are also people who come to gamble. Betting on the first, top ten, and top 100 in this qualifying competition can also be used for fun.

"It seems that everyone can't wait anymore, so, this old man will not talk nonsense, the process of qualifying competition is the same every time, this time there are 1,142 applicants, and the actual number is 1,060. Sixteen people, so, a total of 533 life and death platforms are needed..."

The verdict made the old man speak and clapped his hands. Immediately, there was a booming sound from the ground of the arena, and then five hundred and thirty-three cylindrical stone platforms were raised from the ground.

Each column stone platform is ten zhang wide, and in that ten zhang place, life and death will be determined.

There is also a mirror-smooth boulder screen that rises from the ground, and there are thousands of people's names on that screen. The names at the top are basically the winners who have won the rankings in the last or previous competitions, and the latter are arranged in random order, and they are basically people who have never been ranked. With the improvement of everyone's record, the ranking will continue to change.

Each participant will get an identity card before the game, which is used for both entry and participation.

At the beginning of the competition, it was carried out in the form of non-stop fighting, with two duels first. In this part, there is no need to divide life and death. The 533 life and death stages are all numbered. Which life and death stage to board, the opponent is random, and it is required that the winner must be determined within a stick of incense, otherwise both will be recorded as 1 loss.

In the event of a winner, the winner will record 1 win, and the loser will record 1 loss.

If the platform of life and death needs to appear ten breaths, but still does not board the platform of life and death, it will also be recorded as 1 loss.

This kind of random two-to-two matchup will continue all the time. During the period, if the negative field reaches ten games, the qualification will be disqualified. If you die, you are also disqualified.

This has been eliminated until the remaining contestants do not exceed 100, and the two-to-two duel is terminated.

Then, it was the most exciting melee fight, and the ranking of the top 100 people was finally determined.

Not all the top 100 people can live to the end... and if you want to get the innate soul nourishing medicine, Ye Lingzhi, you need to win the first place.

"Ranking battle, start!"

As soon as the verdict ended, the identity cards of the contestants hung around their waists, and words flashed.

On Ning Fan's identity card, the number [One Hundred and Seventeen] appeared. As soon as the number appeared, Ning Fan made a few vertical leaps and appeared on the corresponding life and death stage.

And his opponent, who appeared later, was a big man with a mountain boar mask, and his battle clothes couldn't cover his fat.

This person has a bad appearance, and his cultivation is also not strong. He only has the realm of the later stage of Transcendence!

Seeing that the opponent was not strong, Ning Fan swept his spiritual thoughts to other places, and soon found Xian Yuchun at the No. 74 life and death platform.

Xian Yuchun's code name is Ru Niu, although Ru Niu is blunt, but can travel thousands of miles under heavy load, it is a very suitable name for him.

"Hey, fight against the Pig Emperor with me, and dare to look around, it's really courting death!"

The big man from Roshan gave a stern smile, flicked his sleeves, and dozens of magical treasures with strong spiritual light hit Ning Fan at the same time.

With such an all-out effort, even in the early days of Shekong, he had to be in a hurry. Most of the people wanted to make a quick decision and solve Ning Fan earlier, but unexpectedly, Ning Fan took away all his magic weapons with just a flick of his sleeve, and then he When the punch came out, the big man Roshan didn't even see Ning Fan's fist, he felt that his whole body was shattered, and he vomited blood and flew out of the ring.

Pig Emperor, 0 wins and 1 loss!

Killing Fox, 1 win, 0 loss!

hiss!

Some spectators in the stands suddenly noticed the spike in this life-and-death stand. To defeat a late-stage Duzhen so quickly, the contestant named Slaughter Fox is so strong!

It was only when everyone found that the killing fox did not kill, but left the pig emperor with his life, and they were suddenly dissatisfied.

What they want to see is blood, and what they want to see is killing! It would be fine if he did his best to injure him. This slaughtering fox clearly had the strength to kill the pig emperor with one blow, but he showed mercy, which really caused some people's dissatisfaction!

It's a pity that these people are dissatisfied, what's the matter with Guan Ningfan?

He is here to fight for Lingzhi, not to be seen as a monkey show. Although this place is a life-and-death arena, there is no life-and-death hatred between each other. Everything is between killing or not killing, so he let the pig emperor die. No need for anyone else to talk too much!

"Noisy!"

Ning Fan's demonic drinking, the overwhelming suffocating energy suddenly shocked many scolding audience, making these few people sweat all over, they dare not talk any more.

Of course, more people didn't pay attention to Ning Fan's life and death stage at all, but paid attention to other places.

"The No. 97 Life and Death Stage is the duel between the Bronze Sparrow Immortal and the ape disciple. The ape disciple is not weak, but he was the forty-ninth place in the last qualifying competition, but unfortunately, what he encountered was the last one. The number one Bronze Sparrow Immortal, huh, this is really bad luck!"

"Life and Death Stage No. 280, Sword Corpse! This person was the fourth in a certain session many years ago. For some reason, he disappeared for a long time, but he appeared again in this session! Now that he is back, I am afraid that he will be with Bronze Sparrow. Immortals compete for the first place!"

"The two of them are nothing. I heard that Master Tota from the Shuitian Department came to participate in the qualifying battle in person for that night Lingzhi. That is the cultivation of the Half-step Immortal Venerable. I just don't know which one is here. It's Master Tota, I haven't seen the iconic magic weapon of Xuanling Pagoda, I think that Master Tota has the intention to hide his identity..."

"I heard that there are also guardians of the holy mountain to participate in the competition..."

There are 533 duels at the same time, but there are too many places to pay attention to. Ning Fan has never shown his reputation, so even if some people pay attention to him, it is very few.

He ended the duel early, so he simply stood on the stage of life and death and watched other people duel. There are a lot of winners and losers in an instant, and there are also some who kill them. Naturally, there are also people who are of equal strength. They are desperately trying to decide the winner within a stick of incense, but they often fight to lose both...

After a stick of incense, a total of 402 life and death platforms ended the battle, and the rest of the arena ended in a draw, each with 1 loss.

After only one round, more than 30 people were killed, and more than 100 people were seriously injured and unable to fight again. After such a sieve, only 905 people were left to fight again.

Then, the second round of life-and-death battles appeared, and Ning Fan's serial number was three hundred and ninety-two.

After a few vertical jumps, Ning Fan appeared on the stage corresponding to life and death.

Another spike!

Killing Fox, 2 wins and 0 losses.

By the end of the second round, Ning Fan's record had already reached more than 300, and there were not many who could win two games in a row.

Then in the third round, the opponent gave up the mid-term and won again!

Fourth round, fifth round, sixth round…

Killing Fox's record continued to soar. Here, there were very few people who could make Ning Fan feel difficult. After ten rounds, he had a record of 10 wins and 0 losses, and his ranking rose to 55th.

Finally got some people's attention.

"Killing Fox? Never heard of it, is it the first time to compete?"

"This person has won ten games in a row, but he's all in one shot! Could it be that this qualifying battle is a dark horse!"

After ten rounds, there were only more than 400 people left in the field.

The eleventh round, the twelfth round, the thirteenth round...the twentieth round.

Ning Fan is still on a winning streak that is almost an instant kill, and even at the peak of Shekong, no one can match the punch of his ancient demon. His record was already ranked ninth!

There were also eight other people who kept winning streak, and those eight people also noticed Ning Fan!

Strangely, the Ning Fan Tu Huang, who initially brought a sense of danger, did not have a winning streak. 19 wins and 1 loss, the only one loss, lost to the bronze sparrow fairy, who was the first in the previous session.

"Bronze Sparrow Immortal is a late stage of Shainian's cultivation, that Tu Huang, is he lost, or is he deliberately lost..."

After such a duel, it was the twenty-ninth round, and there were finally only one hundred contestants left here, no more or no less.

Ning Fan's record is still ninth, he has maintained a complete victory, but the people in front are also completely victorious, so it is, the name of the killing fox has many fanatical supporters here.

Although Ning Fan has yet to kill a single person, his style of instant killing is still refreshing to many people.

Xian Yuchun ranked 75th with 22 wins and 7 losses.

As for Tu Huang... 21 wins and 8 losses, every time he loses, he loses to the top eight powerhouses, but many people think that it is bad luck.

And for some unknown reason, Ning Fan always had a feeling that Tu Huang's gaze always swept over him intentionally or unintentionally.

The shuddering feeling that it brought him... is definitely not an illusion! This person can never be weak enough to lose all the way, but if it is intentional, why...

"You've seen the Bull Ghost Supreme, haven't you?"

Suddenly, a voice transmission entered Ning Fan's ears, and it was what the Tu Huang said!

"Ox-Ghost Supreme, what is that?" Ning Fan's eyes narrowed, and he asked through voice transmission, but he guessed in his heart that this Ox-Ghost Sovereign had to be the quasi-sage surnamed Niu from Nanyao Temple?

"Hehe, interesting..."

Emperor Tu saw that Ning Fan was talking about the Supreme Being, but he was not confused and forgotten, but he did not talk to Ning Fan anymore.

Inwardly, he secretly said that the name of the external cultivator is indeed a bit remarkable. He can even ignore the five-fingered illusion that permeates the entire lowly. The talent for illusion is really amazing. After all, they are some immortal emperors, and they have no ability to remember the five supreme... (To be continued.)
