Supreme Emptiness

Jiang Fan was also stunned.

Previously, he had only unintentionally used it on the clouds in the sky.

He hadn't realized how powerful the gravity suppression of the Infinite Ring was.

Only now did he understand its terror!

And this was after wasting most of its energy.

If the Infinite Ring were at its peak, Leng Gu wouldn't even have a trace left.

Being able to severely wound a Ninth Layer Core Formation Beast King was enough to delight Jiang Fan.

He employed his movement technique, decisively flying over.

The Sorrow Frost Sword instantly activated, slashing at the immobilized Leng Gu.

Strike when it's down!

Don't give it a chance to breathe!

Chirp—

Just then.

The black raptor, attracted by the commotion, noticed the scene below and swooped down decisively!

Jiang Fan's expression changed.

This black raptor was also a mid-stage Core Formation being.

Its claws were no less powerful than the Silver Winged Thunderbird's.

He quickly sidestepped out of the way.

Boom—

The powerful gust nearly blew Jiang Fan away.

Thankfully, he avoided it.

But what changed his expression was—

Leng Gu in the deep pit had disappeared!

Looking up, he saw the black raptor clutching Leng Gu in its talons, rescuing it!

Leng Gu, barely surviving, looked down at the gradually shrinking Jiang Fan on the ground, both shocked and angry, yelling:

"You human brat! Don't think you'll leave here alive!"

"Black Hawk, don't worry about my injuries. Follow this human brat and bring the other Beast Kings here!"

"This kid must die!"

"Otherwise, future troubles will be endless!"

Thinking of the Nascent Soul One-Strike Jade Token in Jiang Fan's hand, it felt a shudder of fear.

It couldn't imagine, if during a crucial moment in the war between humans and demons,

this boy appeared with the Nascent Soul Jade Token, what the consequences would be!

In its view, this boy needed to be eradicated more than Xu Qingyang.

Even if he escaped today by luck,

it would mobilize the Demon Race's power in the future to continuously hunt him down.

The hidden danger couldn't be allowed!

Jiang Fan was also filled with killing intent.

If Leng Gu escaped, the fact that he possessed the Nascent Soul Jade Token would no longer be hidden.

At that time, whether the Demon Race would hunt him could be set aside for now.

The Giant Sect would not let him go first!

"Still want to kill me? Do you think you can escape?" Jiang Fan coldly snorted.

Spiritual power surged crazily within him, forming a sword shape.

The Sorrow Frost Sword on his back trembled continuously, as if it were eager with excitement.

Leng Gu sneered, "Even Xu Qingyang couldn't kill me. Do you, a mere human brat, think you can take my life from afar?"

The sky had always been forbidden for humans.

No matter how powerful you were, you were powerless in the face of the sky.

Only Xu Qingyang's Sword Control Technique could harm the sky's demon beasts.

But his Sword Control Technique was unique to him alone.

No one else could learn it.

Let alone a mere human brat here?

However.

In the next moment, Leng Gu's expression froze.

Jiang Fan took out a long sword wrapped in cloth from behind him.

He shook the sword hilt.

The world-shattering purple brilliance instantly shredded the cloth, revealing a purple long sword exuding immense spiritual pressure!

Even from such a distance, Leng Gu felt the chill emanating from the Purple Sword.

A sense of dread swept through its entire body.

"Could it be a spiritual artifact?" Leng Gu gasped.

It felt an intense unease.

If not for being in the air, unafraid of the sword, it would have retreated to maintain distance long ago.

But in the next moment.

A horrifying scene unfolded before Leng Gu!

Jiang Fan raised his hand and tossed the Purple Sword into the air.

Then, he mimed a sword gesture with two fingers, pointing at Leng Gu from a distance.

The Purple Sword transformed into a purple beam and shot towards them!

"Sword Control Technique!!"

Leng Gu let out a piercing scream of terror.

In the next moment, both the black raptor and Leng Gu were pierced by the Purple Sword.

Leng Gu hoped to rely on its invincible body to withstand the sword.

But it despairingly found that—

Its body was like paper before the Purple Sword.

It was directly cut open!

Worse still.

The black raptor's head was penetrated.

Its massive body powerlessly fell, dragging Leng Gu down, smashing brutally into the ground.

Boom—

Blood and feathers splattered everywhere.

The already dying Leng Gu was smashed into pieces, with only its head's blood-red eyes weakly rolling.

Its mouth moved, pleading for mercy:

"Spare me..."

Poof—

A purple light descended from the sky, piercing through its head, completely shattering it.

It was Jiang Fan controlling the Purple Sword, delivering the final blow to Leng Gu.

Jiang Fan retrieved the Purple Sword and coldly stared at Leng Gu's body.

How could he be so foolish as to show mercy and let it live?

After confirming Leng Gu's death, Jiang Fan approached its body, a trace of excitement in his eyes.

This was a Ninth Layer Core Formation demon beast.

Its beast core must be incredibly valuable, right?

After searching for a while, Jiang Fan found a white demon core the size of an eyeball in its head.

Compared to other demon cores, this one was significantly smaller.

But the energy contained within it was a hundred times more than other demonic beasts.

Holding it in his palm, he felt the overwhelming, suffocating power surging within.

Jiang Fan secretly rejoiced, "Luckily, I had the Infinite Ring, or else I would have been doomed today."

Jiang Fan vividly remembered Leng Gu's immense strength.

That elderly man in a green robe, proficient in swordsmanship, couldn't kill it despite chasing it.

He could kill Leng Gu only because of the Infinite Ring's power!

Jiang Fan now had time to examine the Infinite Ring, finding it had turned pure white, losing all its green color.

Indicating it had exhausted all its power.

"I have to find a way to restore some energy." Jiang Fan thought to himself.

Witnessing the Infinite Ring's formidable power, he was overjoyed.

He regarded it as his second most important life-saving asset, right after the Nascent Soul Jade Token.

After storing away Leng Gu's beast core, Jiang Fan also took the Black Hawk's inner core, saying, "We must leave quickly!"

"This place isn't safe!"

He grabbed Xu Yining, employing his movement technique, swiftly moving through the mountain forest.

Xu Yining was still overwhelmed by the previous shock.

The No.1 Shadow Guard, single-handedly killing a Ninth Layer Core Formation Beast King?

When did he become so terrifyingly powerful?

Even Jiang Fan couldn't be this formidable, could he?

When she came to her senses, they had already traveled a great distance.

The rest of the journey was much smoother.

They no longer encountered any Beast Kings.

Several days later.

The two, travel-worn, arrived at the city at the foot of the Myriad Swords Sect mountain, Myriad Swords City.

Unlike other cities.

Myriad Swords City was under lockdown today.

Entry required an Identity Jade, and non-residents of Myriad Swords City and disciples from the Nine-Sect were not allowed entry.

This was related to the upcoming Sword Forest.

Given the important event ahead, the Myriad Swords Sect was concerned about any ill-intentioned people causing harm to the Nine-Sect disciples.

"It's our turn." Xu Yining, queuing, took out her Identity Token without hesitation when it was her turn.

After verification, she fixed her gaze on Jiang Fan.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with intense curiosity.

The true identity of the No.1 Shadow Guard was about to be revealed.

Jiang Fan felt a headache.

He didn't expect entry into Myriad Swords City to require an Identity Token, and it was especially inconvenient that Xu Yining was right by his side.

If she discovered that the No.1 Shadow Guard was Jiang Fan.

Who knew if she would have an emotional breakdown.

As he hesitated.

A cold and somewhat indifferent voice sounded from behind, "What's your name?"

Jiang Fan turned around.

He found a young girl in a bright red dress standing behind him, having appeared out of nowhere.

Her skin was as white as snow, with golden wavy hair and deep-set eyes embedded with blue sapphire-like pupils.

Her fiery figure was particularly noticeable.

She was a stunningly beautiful girl with an exotic allure and a fiery figure.

She approached Jiang Fan and sniffed him.

This puzzled Jiang Fan.

Even more bewildering, after sniffing him, the blood skirt girl's expression turned cold.

Her gaze bore into him with inexplicable animosity.
