Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 393: You’re Not Even as Good as Their Servants!

BOOM!

Before Ning Xuan could expose Wu Pianpian, the mobile villa suddenly plummeted. It crashed onto the ground, and because they were inside a cave, it produced a deafening roar.

The surroundings trembled. This very tremor caused the cavern walls to light up, illuminating the space as brightly as day. Ning Xuan focused his eyes and saw, to his shock, row upon row of skulls! The light emanated from within the skulls, though it was unclear how this was possible.

"Ah!" San Wu cried out, grabbing Ning Xuan, her body trembling.

Following the direction she was pointing, Ning Xuan could not help but gasp. They were standing on a high platform, and below them lay a dense sea of skeletal remains.

Ning Xuan's face darkened. "Senior Sister, is this what you call being a hundred times better than falling into human hands?"

Wu Pianpian gave a sheepish smile, unsure how to respond.

Just then, a scream suddenly echoed from higher up. The next moment—BOOM! The skeleton of an enormous beast fell among the other remains. All that was left was a massive frame and a hide that had separated from it in mid-air.

BOOM!

Amidst the earth-shattering tremor, a gigantic, eagle-like beast gripped the massive Stone Bell with its talons and stared at Ning Xuan's group. Then, its free talon pointed at Wu Pianpian and the other girls before making a throat-slitting gesture at Ning Xuan.

Qian Yourong's beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent, her anger rising.

"What does it mean?" Wu Pianpian asked, somewhat confused, looking to Ning Xuan along with San Wu and Xiao Bai.

"It says that if it can't beat me, it will commit suicide by slitting its own throat!" Ning Xuan declared as he vanished from the spot.

Of course, that wasn't what the foolish eagle meant. It was telling Ning Xuan to give it the women and then slit his own throat. The strange beast it had just killed was clearly its former mate. What it intended to do was glaringly obvious!

How could Ning Xuan tolerate that?

CLANG!

Before the strange substance could even evolve, Ning Xuan smashed down with his cauldron. As the Stone Bell shattered like tofu, the foolish eagle swiped down with its talon!

The next moment, Wu Pianpian and the others were stupefied. They watched in shock as the cauldron in Ning Xuan's hands swelled enormously. The moment the beast's talon landed inside, Ning Xuan fiercely flipped the cauldron over.

Then, as the entire space shook violently, all the skeletons that had remained intact for countless years exploded into dust! Ahead, the giant cauldron was inverted, the space still trembling violently.

"Damn, could Junior Brother be on drugs?!" Wu Pianpian muttered.

Although this beast wasn't on par with a top-level enforcer, it was still extremely terrifying. An average Dignitary would be no match for it. And yet, her junior brother had defeated it so easily. This was too outrageous!

"I once mentioned wanting to roast a Golden-Winged Roc. While this foolish eagle is a far cry from that, it'll do to whet our appetites," Ning Xuan said, lightly flicking the cauldron with his finger.

The spatial tremors ceased immediately.

Ning Xuan then flipped the giant cauldron upright. Wu Pianpian and the others were still on high alert, but upon closer inspection, they saw that the foolish eagle was dead beyond any doubt. The girls stared dazedly at Ning Xuan.

Then, Wu Pianpian exclaimed, "Damn, why did we even run just now!"

The other three women looked at her, baffled.

"Junior Brother, let's go! We'll kill our way back to the island!" Wu Pianpian declared, looking extremely excited.

Ning Xuan said irritably, "Senior Sister, I think you're the one on drugs."

"Junior Brother, you're so strong now, what the hell is there to fear?! Come on, let's go crush them! Yourong, could you please take these two and prepare this foolish eagle? It'll be perfect for our victory feast when we get back!" Wu Pianpian immediately started planning their celebration.

Ning Xuan's expression darkened. I was just worried her Mental State would be damaged. I was clearly fretting over nothing!

He was about to speak when—

CLANG!

A silhouette arrived in an instant. Ning Xuan reacted with extreme speed, countering with the cauldron. Amidst the crisp clash of metal, he was sent flying dozens of yards, cauldron and all, smashing through countless stalactites in the process.

A black-robed figure now stood where he had been. The figure glanced at him and the Heavenly Sacrifice Cauldron, a trace of surprise in his eyes. Then, he turned his head toward the mobile villa.

With a single thought from Ning Xuan, the mobile villa appeared beside him. Where it had just been, another black-robed figure now stood. The black-robed figure from where Ning Xuan had been standing only now began to fade. The newcomer was incredibly fast.

"Very good. You've successfully piqued my interest," a raspy voice rose, its tone inexplicably grating. Before Ning Xuan could reply, the figure extended a hand toward Wu Pianpian and the other three girls and beckoned.

Now Ning Xuan finally understood the foolish eagle's gesture. So this new guy is the real culprit!

"Go screw yourself!" This time, the furious Qian Yourong finally found the courage to curse at their opponent.

WHOOSH!

Ning Xuan teleported away with the mobile villa once again.

CLANG!

A metallic ring echoed mid-teleportation as the pursuer caught up and Ning Xuan blocked the attack with the Heavenly Sacrifice Cauldron.

"Do you think I don't exist?!" Wu Pianpian's indignant shout rang out as her spear thrust forward like a dragon.

The figure completely ignored her. Wu Pianpian's spear tip struck the black robe, creating the clang of metal on metal and a shower of sparks. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

HUM!

With a flick of her wrist, a multitude of spear images filled the sky.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The sound of metal clashing was as dense as rainfall, the force of the assault so great it generated the crackle of thunder. But it was still useless. Even with Wu Pianpian attacking with all her might, she could not breach her opponent's defense.

"Enough!" the figure suddenly bellowed.

Ning Xuan was sent flying along with his cauldron. Behind him, the mobile villa was also blasted away.

PFFT!

Unable to suppress the churning qi and blood in his chest any longer, Ning Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood. It landed squarely on the Heavenly Sacrifice Cauldron. The patterns on the cauldron's surface writhed, and Ning Xuan's blood, as if granted life, snaked along a specific path across them.

At the same time, the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture unexpectedly began to operate on its own. Soon, his blood vanished, and a single drop of Spiritual Liquid abruptly materialized before him.

Without a second thought, Ning Xuan swallowed it.

An ineffable divine aura instantly suffused his body. Not only did his injuries heal completely, but he also advanced a First Layer Realm!

Though it takes time to describe, all of this happened in a flash. The black-robed figure hadn't noticed anything amiss.

Seeing Ning Xuan spit blood, he paused, no longer in a hurry to attack. The gap between them was simply too vast.

"I thought I'd finally get to stretch my limbs, but it turns out you're not even as good as many of their servants. How disappointing," the hoarse voice rang out again, filled with dismay.

Before Ning Xuan could speak, Wu Pianpian erupted in fury, shouting, "Shameless! You're a genuine Saint, yet you bully my Junior Brother, who only just reached the Dignitary Realm! If my Junior Brother were at your Realm, he could obliterate you with a single finger!"

To everyone's surprise, the black-robed figure immediately denied her claim, "A Saint? No, no, no, I'm not a Saint! I am merely a Holy Realm Cultivator!"

At the same time, he seemed very nervous.

An idea sparked in Ning Xuan's mind.
