Chapter 1160: Ning Fan’s Arrival
Just as the younger generation of the Nalan Family were preparing to flee, a cold voice suddenly echoed, startling everyone.
“Today, none of you will leave!”
“What?”
The clansmen of the Nalan Family looked towards the source of the voice and saw a tall, imposing figure approaching from afar.
Under the moonlight, he appeared so gallant and handsome.
Yet, the same event brought joy to some and sorrow to others.
The Ning Family members, however, cheered and laughed with joy, “Haha, our Third Young Master has arrived.”
Nalan Invincible no longer bore the same smug expression. He looked at the newcomer and said expressionlessly, “So you are Ning Fan of the Ning Family?”
“That’s right, I won’t change my name or surname when I sit or walk. I am Ning Fan. You must be the so-called Nalan Invincible they speak of, correct?”
With that, Ning Fan coldly stared at Nalan Invincible, then turned to Steward Zhang and calmly asked, “Old Zhang, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, just a minor injury.” Steward Zhang felt ashamed and embarrassed for not handling things well.
Ning Fan patted his shoulder and consoled, “It’s alright. Just because you couldn’t beat him doesn’t mean I can’t. Isn’t he just an old geezer with one foot in the grave? Don’t worry.”
“Young man, don’t boast.”
Upon hearing this, Nalan Invincible couldn’t bear it and proudly said, “I possess the strength of Half-step Aerial Mastery. What do you have to fight me?”
“Half-step Aerial Mastery? So, you’re not even at the Aerial Mastery Realm yet. What’s all the swagger about?”
Ning Fan immediately retorted, smirking, “Coincidentally, I’ve just reached the peak of the True Origin Realm. How about we have a go as well?”
“That sounds great!”
Nalan Invincible, unaware of Ning Fan’s prowess, agreed readily.
Meanwhile, the younger generation of the Nalan Family, who had been attempting to escape, were now surrounded by the Ning Family members, leaving them no way out and no chance for even a fly to get through.
The juniors of the Nalan Family were panicked, feeling overwhelmed like ants on a hot pan.
“The reason Zhang Daolin failed earlier was that his realm was inferior to the Second Elder, but Ning Fan is in the same realm as the Second Elder. The outcome is hard to predict.”
“What does it matter if they are in the same realm? Our Second Elder is much older than Ning Fan, has walked more roads than he has crossed bridges, and has eaten more rice than he has eaten salt. His combat experience is undoubtedly more extensive than Ning Fan’s. We must have faith in the Second Elder.”
“But…”
“But nothing, at this point, we can only hope the Second Elder defeats Ning Fan, or else none of us will survive today.”
“Alas.”
The crowd sighed dejectedly, their morale completely gone.
Meanwhile, Ning Fan and Nalan Invincible had already set their stances, with Steward Zhang stepping aside.
The air of tension filled the atmosphere as the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
At this moment, the gusty autumn wind swirled around them, further intensifying the heavy atmosphere.
Steward Zhang quickly bandaged his wound and said to Ning Fan, “Third Young Master, this guy’s combat experience is extremely rich. You should be cautious.”
“No worries, it’s a small matter.”
Ning Fan appeared unfazed, standing as stable as Mount Tai.
Due to the sudden situation, he didn’t have any weapons with him, yet he was unafraid of Nalan Invincible, who was holding his treasured sword sideways.
Nalan Invincible, sensing the tense atmosphere, understood the necessity of a swift resolution and directly said, “Ning Fan, don’t put on airs in front of me. You don’t have the qualification. There’s no point in verbal sparring. Victory or defeat relies on one’s true abilities. Let’s fight.”
“Alright, just don’t say I bully the elderly.”
Ning Fan’s eyes widened, filled with overwhelming killing intent.
In an instant, he moved, fast as lightning, and like an arrow shot out towards Nalan Invincible.
“Old thing, go to hell.”
“What?”
Nalan Invincible’s mouth dropped open as he watched Ning Fan’s rapid movement. He couldn’t comprehend Ning Fan’s movement being so swift, far exceeding his understanding of a peak True Origin Realm master.
Even though he had fully cultivated the True Origin Realm and was only a step away from the Aerial Mastery Realm, he was still no match for Ning Fan.
What he didn’t know was that Ning Fan’s ability to overwhelm him in aura and surpass him in movement was due to the support of the Dragon Ball.
Thus, Ning Fan acted confidently, daring to confront Nalan Invincible, who was a Half-step Aerial Mastery.
Swish…
In a flash, Ning Fan’s hand moved like lightning, capturing the sword blade that Nalan Invincible had swung down.
“Hmm?”
Nalan Invincible was baffled. No matter how hard he tried, the sword blade remained immobile, as steady as Mount Tai.
Ning Fan’s hands were like iron clamps, firmly immobilizing his treasured sword.
“This is impossible. Humans are fundamentally flesh and blood, and they would bleed and be torn apart facing swords and spears. Even if Ning Fan infused True Qi into his palms, my sword is similarly empowered. How can his palms contend against my sword?”
In theory, it doesn’t make any sense.
However, in the moment Nalan Invincible was dumbfounded, Ning Fan did not stay idle. With one hand gripping the sword blade, the other hand ferociously slapped towards Nalan Invincible’s head.
With a slap.
A distinct five-finger mark appeared on Nalan Invincible’s face. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards, pale-faced.
His body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, in a miserable state.
Wow…
The spectators were stunned, while the Ning Family clansmen cheered explosively, enthusiastically applauding Ning Fan.
“Our Third Young Master is indeed outstanding. No wonder the master calls him the Kirin of the Ning Family.”
“What do you think? Those Blood Cross Organization killers were effortlessly slaughtered by him. What are the so-called experts of the long-peaceful Nalan Family compared to him? They’re actually nothing much.”
“Then why did Steward Zhang lose?”
“You understand nothing. That’s because Steward Zhang is at a lower realm than Nalan Invincible, plus their combat experience isn’t much different. Steward Zhang’s defeat was expected.”
“By your logic, the young Third Young Master has more combat experience than Nalan Invincible?”
“Exactly. Do you know where the Third Young Master has been all these years away from the Ning Family? Maybe he was hiding in some deep mountain or roaming the Jianghu, battling various experts, honing his skills to reach his high level today.”
Faced with the exhilaration of the Ning Family, the younger generation of the Nalan Family felt utterly ashamed and defeated.
“How is this possible? Our Second Elder actually lost to a young Ning Fan. Who would believe it if told?”
“Facts speak louder than words. The Second Elder indeed lost, and what’s more, was defeated by Ning Fan in a single move. This is a striking contrast to earlier, leaving me completely stunned.”
