Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 368: It’s Just About Killing a Beast!

Zang Wu wanted to retreat, but too many eyes were on him. He couldn't! Damn it! That bastard Ning Xuan has a powerful backer! he cursed inwardly. If it weren't for Ning Xuan, would he be in this passive position? Would he be stuck in such an awkward spot?!

In that instant, Zang Wu's hatred for Ning Xuan intensified. Meanwhile, Shentu Yi was frantically kowtowing, praying inwardly, Ning Xuan, Lord Ning, I was wrong! Please, show mercy and help me!

He didn't regret his actions in the slightest. After all, if the Prohibition wasn't lifted, his life and death would depend on a single whim of Great Saint Blood Nether! Under such circumstances, even if his Cultivation Realm were to increase, it would be nothing more than an illusion. He had to seize this opportunity, no matter what. The Prohibition in his body was, after all, placed by a genuine Great Saint. Besides Ning Xuan, he couldn't think of anyone who could possibly remove it! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Finally, his prayers were answered.

"What are you doing?" Ning Xuan's voice rang out.

From the shadows, Ning Xuan was completely baffled. What's wrong with this guy? He had just expended a great deal of energy to manifest the Tai Chi Diagram and forcibly erase the Prohibition in Heavenly Charm's dantian. It was, after all, a technique of a Great Saint! To be safe, he had used a Body Technique Skill to retreat to a safe distance and recover. When he returned, this was the scene that greeted him, leaving him utterly bewildered.

"My Lord, you've finally responded! I was wrong. I beg you, please help me lift the Prohibition," Shentu Yi responded with his Divine Sense, prostrate on the ground. At that moment, he wished he could grow a tail just to wag it pleadingly.

"You psycho! Pay attention!" Ning Xuan couldn't fathom what kind of act Shentu Yi was putting on. But he had been paid, so he had to do the job. His gains over the past few days had been substantial, so there was no reason not to help Shentu Yi remove the Prohibition.

"Ah, my lord, save me!" Seeing a white light streaking toward him, Shentu Yi immediately rushed toward Zang Wu.

Zang Wu's face turned green. But with so many people watching, what could he do? He could only grit his teeth and act! With a loud shout, he unleashed his full power, launching an attack far stronger than his previous one.

BANG!

With a scream, Shentu Yi was sent flying, plowing a long trench in the ground. Black and white energy intertwined in the sky once more.

PFFT!

Finally, Shentu Yi coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

"Are you alright?" Ning Xuan's concerned voice rang out at once. He hadn't expected Zang Wu to lose his cool and unleash such powerful energy.

"Thank you, Young Master. From now on, I, Shentu Yi, will follow your every command!" Shentu Yi struggled to his knees and bowed his head in sincere reverence.

Ning Xuan could hear the excitement in his voice. A quick scan with his Divine Sense revealed the reason. The man's Cultivation Realm had increased by two levels! The true cause was the energy Zang Wu had blasted out.

Of course, there was no need to point that out.

"It's only right. After all, I took your family's Divine Crystals and treasures," Ning Xuan said, accepting Shentu Yi's worship as if it were his due.

"That is our Shentu Family's good fortune! In the future, Young Master, whatever you wish for, you need only ask!" Shentu Yi replied hastily.

"We'll talk about this later. Get up quickly, don't let the patsy get suspicious!"

Shentu Yi immediately scrambled to his feet. He instantly knew who the "patsy" Ning Xuan was referring to, though he had no idea why Ning Xuan would call Zang Wu that.

Meanwhile, Zang Wu, the big patsy himself, frowned deeply. He scanned Shentu Yi from head to toe before asking doubtfully, "Are you alright?"

"Thanks to your care, my lord. With you taking action, anyone who came would have had to crawl away!" Shentu Yi flattered, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, you're too kind!" Zang Wu beamed, his mood instantly improving. He couldn't care less about what had actually happened to Shentu Yi.

However, he still sent a private message via Divine Sense. "Who exactly was that person who attacked you? Was it Ning Xuan's master?"

After a brief pause, Shentu Yi quickly replied, "My lord, the entity backing Ning Xuan was likely obliterated by your last strike!"

Zang Wu was somewhat skeptical.

"My lord, his technique only seemed powerful; it was all a bluff. Think about it. If he were truly that strong, he wouldn't have needed to go to so much trouble with me."

These words made Zang Wu's eyes light up. That's right! How could I not have realized something so simple?!

"You've done well! When I capture Ning Xuan, you will be handsomely rewarded!"

"Thank you, my lord! By the way, Lord Zang Wu, Ning Xuan got a little careless just now. I think I managed to pinpoint his location!"

"Where?!"

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be on that ancient tree behind you and to your left!"

Zang Wu was overjoyed and began to turn.

PFFT!

BOOM!

The attacks from Shentu Yi and Heavenly Charm struck home simultaneously.

"You... both of you..." Zang Wu twisted his head around, his eyes filled with utter disbelief. He never imagined these two would dare to attack him, disregarding the Prohibitions within their bodies!

SWOOSH!

Just as he was about to unleash the power of a peak Venerable, an unparalleled sword light flashed past.

Zang Wu's head flew into the air.

At the same time, another figure appeared on the scene. It was, of course, Ning Xuan.

BANG!

Shentu Yi was even more direct, slamming a palm into Zang Wu's headless torso and blasting it into a bloody mist. Simultaneously, an Element Force Giant Hand materialized and grabbed for Zang Wu's head. Zang Wu had been killed once before by the Young Master in the Tianyang Realm, only to resurrect. This time, Shentu Yi would not allow any accidents!

Soon, Zang Wu's head was also crushed into pulp.

After searching the area for a long moment, Shentu Yi finally let out a breath of relief. With no time to rest, he immediately cupped his fists toward Ning Xuan and reported respectfully, "Young Master, Zang Wu has been executed—his body and spirit utterly annihilated!"

"Shentu Yi, what have you done?!" Before Ning Xuan could reply, a furious roar erupted from nearby.

Countless pairs of eyes locked onto them. Some glared fiercely at Shentu Yi, while others targeted Ning Xuan. Of course, many gazes lingered on Heavenly Charm, their faces filled with fascination.

"What have I done? I've merely slaughtered a beast!" Shentu Yi turned and stood protectively in front of Ning Xuan.

"Yi… Yi'er, is what Zang Wu said true? Is his master really a Great Saint?" Shentu Sheng asked, his voice trembling.

Shentu Yi simply nodded.

"We're doomed!"

Many of the onlookers collapsed to the ground, paralyzed by fear. Who could possibly withstand the wrath of a Great Saint?! Their only hope for survival was to capture Ning Xuan!

BOOM!

Someone attacked Ning Xuan without another word.

Ning Xuan didn't move an inch and remained completely unharmed because Shentu Yi intercepted the blow.

"All of you, stand down! The Young Master is my savior! I will kill anyone who dares to touch him!" Shentu Yi's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, his aura surging powerfully.

"And what if I'm the one to make a move?" Shentu Sheng, seething with rage, stepped forward to face his son directly.

"Father, why are you causing trouble?! My body…"

Just as Shentu Yi started to explain, Shentu Sheng struck, giving him no chance to finish!

Naturally, Shentu Yi would not raise a hand against his own father. Although his father had pulled back most of his power at the last moment, Shentu Yi was still severely injured.

Yet, he did not retreat a single step.
