Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 387: Can’t even move a small cauldron, did you not eat?

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Can’t even move a small cauldron, did you not eat?

Just as expected.

"That old fellow’s bones were forged into a weapon. You people are so cruel!"

As the burly man spoke, he put away his giant axe, preparing to fight the Holy Realm masters of the Hundred Families bare-handed!

The old man holding the Bone Rod didn’t say a word and simply swung it. There was nothing fancy about the attack, but under its power, the void distorted and the air howled like thunder. Its might was absolutely terrifying. A single strike could have easily pulverized a towering mountain!

However, the burly man just laughed and reached out. The next moment, the Bone Rod was caught firmly in the void by a giant hand. No matter how the old man struggled, it couldn’t advance an inch!

RUMBLE!

The void continued to twist and groan, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

HUM!

The pale white Bone Rod suddenly chimed and began to tremble, as if it had come to life and was about to awaken!

"Old thing, you were no match for me when you were alive. What makes you think you can show off now that you’re dead?!"

Amidst his wild laughter, the veins on the burly man’s giant hand bulged like dragons as he suddenly tightened his grip.

CRACK!

A fissure instantly appeared on the pale white Bone Rod!

Standing behind the five elders, Ning Xuan frowned deeply.

"Benefactor, please intervene!" The elder closest to Ning Xuan gritted his teeth and pleaded for help.

The gap between them and their opponents was simply too vast. Any single person on the other side was no weaker than the burly man. If they chose to help, someone from the opposing twelve would surely step in as well. When that happened, not only would they die, but the entire Hundred Families Village would be subject to a bloodbath!

Now, Ning Xuan was the only one who could save them!

What the hell, are you people nuts? I already told you I’m not a god! Ning Xuan ranted internally.

Yet, faced with the hopeful gazes of the old men, Ning Xuan couldn’t bring himself to refuse. But in his moment of hesitation, another, more hot-tempered elder chose to act.

"Fourth Brother, I’ll help you!"

With a roar, the elder threw a punch. The sound of a tiger’s roar exploded through the air! A massive fist materialized on the battlefield, hurtling toward the burly man with unrivaled momentum!

His opponent just chuckled as his other hand descended from the sky.

BANG!

It was like two meteorites colliding. The difference was that the terrifying hand manifested by the burly man remained, while the colossal fist projection the elder had thrown was annihilated into dust! The two were simply not on the same level.

Something’s not right. When he attacked, I didn’t sense any Holy Realm fluctuations from him at all! A return to simplicity? No, that can’t be it. Something is strange, Ning Xuan realized.

Immediately, he activated his Divine Vein Power.

「A moment later.」

Holy crap! Dammit, this is a total scam! Unable to hold back, Ning Xuan slapped the Heavenly Sacrifice Cauldron.

CLANG!

Following the sharp ring, the attacking burly man looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

SPURT!

He sprayed blood violently as he plummeted from the sky like a startled bird.

BOOM!

He crashed into the ground like a meteorite, gouging out a bottomless pit! Dust and sand billowed into the air.

Both sides fell silent. All eyes turned in unison to Ning Xuan. Shock, horror, admiration—a whole spectrum of expressions appeared on their faces. They were utterly stunned.

This was especially true for the Seven Saints of the Hundred Families. They knew just how terrifying their adversary’s strength was. This wasn’t a matter of building up their enemy’s prestige at the expense of their own; before Ning Xuan had corrected their assumptions, they would have been wary of even the exotic beasts their opponents rode!

But now? Their Benefactor had only slapped the Heavenly Sacrifice Cauldron—he hadn’t even truly attacked. And just like that, a supreme expert on the enemy’s side had fallen?

A divine technique! This must be a divine technique!

On the other side, the remaining dozen or so people were equally shocked. They were well aware of their brother’s strength. For the youth they had mistaken for a simple villager to have dispatched him so easily was deeply alarming, making them exceedingly vigilant.

"Who are you?!" someone immediately demanded of Ning Xuan.

"I’m just a passerby," Ning Xuan chuckled, having figured out the truth, and began to play the peacemaker. "How about you do me a favor and stop fighting?"

"Do you a favor? What gives you the right to ask me for—"

CLANG!

Before the man could finish, Ning Xuan slapped the Heavenly Sacrifice Cauldron once more.

The bizarre scene replayed itself. The man seated atop the exotic beast fell from its back without even a grunt. After a few twitches, he went still.

HISS!

On the other side, the remaining beings, both human and beast, all sucked in a sharp breath. What kind of technique was this?! It was simply too terrifying!

On Ning Xuan’s side, the Seven Saints of the Hundred Families recovered from their shock and breathed a collective sigh of relief. They subconsciously moved closer to Ning Xuan, their spines ramrod straight, filled with a great sense of vindication!

BANG!

Just then, the void above Ning Xuan’s head suddenly split open, and a palm large enough to blot out the sun descended! Its target wasn’t Ning Xuan, but the Heavenly Sacrifice Cauldron behind him!

His opponents had obviously figured it out: the youth wasn’t the formidable one, the cauldron was!

The attack was too fast, and the hand seized its target instantly. Its fingers, like hooks, latched onto the Heavenly Sacrifice Cauldron, attempting to pull it away. But even this great hand, capable of plucking stars and seizing the moon, could not budge the Heavenly Sacrifice Cauldron in the slightest. It was as if it had merged with Heaven Sacrificial Peak itself. The hand still lacked the power required to move it.

Seeing this, the Seven Saints of the Hundred Families, who had been on high alert, all relaxed. Their faces filled with mockery and pride—mockery for their opponent’s powerlessness, and pride in their Benefactor’s might! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Ning Xuan had remained calm throughout, but sensing the mental state of the seven elders, he also smiled, delivering a psychologically crushing blow, "Can’t even move a little cauldron. Did you skip breakfast?"

RUMBLE!

The torn void resonated and twisted.

A foot stepped out from the warped void, landing in the plaza. Then, a figure emerged and placed its other hand on the Heavenly Sacrifice Cauldron as well. Still, it could not shake the cauldron in the slightest.

With a thunderous roar, the figure swelled to a height of dozens of meters. It wrapped its arms around the cauldron, arched its back, and heaved.

RUMBLE!

The entire Heaven Sacrificial Peak began to tremble! Countless boulders tumbled down the slopes, creating a terrifying spectacle.

The Seven Saints of the Hundred Families steadied themselves and all looked toward Ning Xuan. Seeing his smile, they were instantly reassured and began to smile as well.

"Haven’t you noticed this cauldron is one with the entire mountain?" Ning Xuan finally couldn’t help but remind the brute. "You’d have to be a ghost to lift it like that. Use your brain."

His opponent immediately reacted.

WHOOSH!

One hand pulled back from the Heavenly Sacrifice Cauldron and shot out of the void directly in front of Ning Xuan, aiming for his throat!

It isn’t the cauldron that’s powerful, but the person! Having realized this, he moved to kill Ning Xuan.

The speed and power of the strike were unparalleled. Never mind that the Seven Saints of the Hundred Families had no time to react—even if they did, they would have been utterly helpless against this attack!

However, the seven of them weren’t nervous at all. Instead, their faces were filled with anticipation.

Our Benefactor is a god descended from the heavens, possessed of divine techniques! We want to see how this audacious fool will die!

And Ning Xuan did not disappoint them.
