Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 737: Forceful Killing

However.

In an instant, he suppressed the wavering in his heart.

Shaking his head slightly, he said, "Sorry, Jin Zhongming’s portrait has already been shown to a guest."

"The other party is very satisfied."

"The deal with the other guest has already been established. Jin Zhongming, being the goods, must not be damaged before the transaction."

Unexpectedly.

She turned out to be a merchant of Jiangshan First-class Building who valued credibility.

Quite different from Yan Dao’an’s style of near-banditry looting.

"However, this token of yours is very rare."

"I can trade something else with you in exchange."

Gu Xin’er was still reluctant to let go of the treasure in front of her.

She proposed an alternative.

Jiang Fan casually tossed the Thunder Extension Order back into his arms, saying, "Not interested."

Gu Xin’er was not in a hurry and said, "Not even interested in Thunder Power?"

She was a little curious about Jiang Fan’s identity.

For someone to cultivate Cloud Shadow to such Great Success, he must be an elite disciple of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, right?

Why would he appear here, clashing with local forces?

She thought to herself, she’d interrogate Jin Zhongming properly later to investigate this person thoroughly.

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow, "Thunder Power?"

"How much?"

Gu Xin’er took out a Thunder Orb.

The Thunder Power within it was intense.

Stronger than the combined Thunder Pills of Lu Liang and Yuan Chen.

Sufficient for him to start cultivating "Heavenly Thunder Six Parts: Undying Blade."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Fan muttered, "You can only observe it once."

"For a trade, your amount of Thunder Power is far from enough."

What Gu Xin’er wanted was just a chance to observe it.

Having cultivated some Thunder Path Body Methods, she could barely manage to study the order.

At least, she could memorize the content of the First Layer.

That would undoubtedly be a lucrative gain.

"Alright!"

"But, I need to inspect the goods first." Gu Xin’er was cautious.

Jiang Fan sneered, saying, "Are you worried about me snatching it instead?"

"You are a Nascent Soul Senior."

"Do I dare to deceive you?"

Gu Xin’er crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, "This is the rule of our Jiangshan First-class Building."

"Inspect the goods first, then trade."

"Once confirmed, it’s a clear-cut deal."

"If you doubt Jiangshan First-class Building’s reputation, then there’s no need to discuss further."

Jiang Fan hesitated for quite some time.

Finally, unwillingly, he said, "Fine."

From his bosom, he took out an ancient-looking Space Storage Device and said:

"Also, ten days ago, many Nascent Soul cultivators fought an Ancient Giant here."

"I scavenged quite a few things, some of which are unspeakable and hard to sell."

"Senior, take a look to see if anything meets your satisfaction."

"If there is, I’ll sell it to you alongside the Thunder Extension Order."

"I only ask Senior not to spread word of it."

Oh?

Gu Xin’er’s eyes brightened.

"Show me!"

She had naturally heard of the Nascent Soul battle that had erupted by the coastline.

Many strong cultivators suffered great losses, leaving behind plenty of items.

Several sect disciples who cleaned the battlefield found numerous treasures and made hefty fortunes.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of her had also been present.

Unintentionally, she had stumbled upon a somewhat decent customer.

Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment and said, "I hope Senior will keep your word and not let greed overtake you."

He nervously tossed the Space Storage Device over.

Gu Xin’er caught it with one hand.

Yet, the moment it entered her hands,

she sensed something off.

Though it appeared to be a Space Storage Ring, the contour in her hand was different from that of a Storage Ring.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Realizing something was wrong, she threw it away, yelling, "You dare to deceive me..."

But it was too late.

The Space Storage Ring revealed its true form.

It was a small seed.

The bud at the top split open, revealing dense, sharp teeth, which bit down on her finger.

In an instant.

Gu Xin’er froze on the spot.

Her body was immobilized, but her thoughts remained unaffected.

"What is this thing?"

"It can even immobilize my body?"

"And how dare he betray me?"

"How does he dare to!"

Gu Xin’er would never have imagined that a mere Sixth Level of Core Formation kid would dare to scheme against her, a Nascent Soul cultivator!

What made her feel even more humiliated was,

his scheming succeeded!

Only now did she realize.

From the very beginning, Jiang Fan never intended to trade with her at all.

The feigned interest in Thunder Power was merely to lower her guard.

His subsequent cautious demeanor and fabricated claims of possessing items from the Nascent Soul battle were all means to further disarm her.

In the end, he made her unwittingly make contact with this strange seed.

Understanding all this, Gu Xin’er felt a surge of shame and fury.

As the deputy building master of Jiangshan First-class Building, she had encountered and unmasked countless deceptions.

Yet she fell into such a trap here?

What a colossal humiliation!

Jiang Fan’s true aim had evidently never shifted.

It was to kill Jin Zhongming!

At that moment, Jin Zhongming was dumbfounded.

He had thought that with a Nascent Soul Expert to back him, not even Jiang Fan’s myriad tricks could harm him.

Who would’ve expected, in just a matter of moves,

the Nascent Soul Expert was subdued!

"Jin Zhongming!"

"Revenge? Maybe in your next life!"

Jiang Fan’s face turned icy.

He snapped a blood-colored ribbon across Jin Zhongming’s body.

Jin Zhongming cried out in panic, "No—!"

"I was wrong—..."

The blood ribbon swiftly wrapped around his body.

Jin Zhongming only managed to let out a single scream.

His burly frame was instantly drained into a desiccated corpse.

Dead on the spot!

Thus,

The Giant Sect was utterly annihilated!

Jiang Fan had finally removed this grave threat once and for all.

However, he had also offended a deputy building master of Jiangshan First-class Building.

Jiang Fan felt his scalp tingle as he glanced at Gu Xin’er.

Although she couldn’t move and her expression remained unreadable beneath her eyes,

it was obvious.

She must now hate Jiang Fan to the core, even wishing to kill him.

Jiang Fan steeled himself.

Having witnessed how ruthless Nascent Soul cultivators of the Outer Realm Divine Sect could be, with how little regard they had for human life,

he dared not give this woman a chance to recover.

He drew the Purple Sword and resolutely thrust it toward her chest, saying:

"My apologies, Senior."

"For my own safety, I must send you on your way!"

Ding—

Just as the blade was about to pierce her chest.

Something inside her body seemed to trigger.

A faint layer of purple flames surged from Gu Xin’er’s body.

The Purple Sword, upon contact with the purple flames, immediately turned a fiery red.

Jiang Fan’s palm seared in pain, the scorching heat causing smoke to rise.

He almost dropped the sword.

Quickly, he flung it aside.

Upon closer inspection, he saw his hand had become a bloody mess, burned to a crisp.

If he had held on any longer, his palm would have been completely roasted.

And that was only indirect contact.

If he had made direct contact with the purple flames, wouldn’t his entire hand have been incinerated on the spot?

Even the seed biting her finger couldn’t withstand the purple flames.

It suddenly released its grip and fell off.

Jiang Fan’s expression stiffened!

Not good!

This Nascent Soul Expert was about to regain her mobility.

Without hesitation.

Jiang Fan collected the seed and Purple Sword, retreating swiftly.

Gu Xin’er was furious.

Beneath the mask, her eyes were filled with rage.

She yelled, "You bastard!"

"You schemed against me, butchered my goods, and even tried to silence me?"

"You’re despicable!!!"

Bang—

She stomped on the ground, causing an earthquake.

Her body darted toward Jiang Fan like a teleportation.

Her speed was incredible.

Jiang Fan could only perceive her as a blur of fiery orange-red afterimages.

This was the furious pursuit of a Nascent Soul powerhouse!

His scalp prickled.

Without hesitation, he drew out the Yue Mingzhu gifted by the Six Harmonies Immortal and shouted:

"Stop right there!"

"Don’t push me—I’ll dual cultivate with you if I must!"
