Chapter 470: A Fierce Battle Against Three Mid Nascent Soul Cultivators
"Chu Ning!"
Hearing this shout, many of the Tianji Alliance's Nascent Soul cultivators turned their gazes toward the source.
Two years ago, Chu Ning and his companions had not only severely injured Lou Yanliang of the Beast Controlling Sect but also killed two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators within the Yunmeng Mountains.
Now, upon hearing someone call out the name of the straw hat-wearing cultivator, they couldn't help but look at him with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Chu Ning was prepared for the fact that his disguise wouldn't be able to fool the scrutiny of mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, thanks to the straw hat treasure Qin Changkong had given him.
Previously, he had concealed his appearance to take his enemies by surprise and hopefully kill or severely injure more Tianji Alliance cultivators.
However, it seemed the Tianji Alliance had anticipated this move as well, as they had hidden three mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators among the group of Golden Core cultivators.
Chu Ning's plan had fallen through.
Moreover, now that he had been recognized, he simply removed his hat and revealed his true face.
"Indeed, it is Chu Ning!"
Upon seeing Chu Ning's face, many of the Tianji Alliance cultivators whispered to themselves.
Chu Ning, who was the subject of a kill order by the Tianji Alliance, had his appearance memorized by many of their Nascent Soul cultivators.
At this moment, the middling-looking, gray-robed mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who had just recognized Chu Ning had a murderous gleam in his eyes.
"Excellent, we thought you would be hiding in Yunxiao City, never daring to show your face.
But who would've thought that you'd come to Changming Mountain as well.
By the Tianji Alliance's kill order, upon seeing Chu Ning, show no mercy!"
As this person's words fell, the other two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators moved, seemingly intending to surround Chu Ning.
At the same time, Fu Jing'an seemed to have realized something, his face changing drastically as he shouted,
"Be careful, Fellow Daoist Chu! These are the Fan Clan's Three Heroes of the Nanning Sect!"
Hearing Fu Jing'an's words, Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat.
His gaze swept over the three gray-robed cultivators who were moving to surround him, and the next moment, he moved directly toward the one who had spoken first.
The Fan Clan's Three Heroes of the Tianji Alliance, along with the Yu Clan Brothers of Taihe Court from the Yunxiao Alliance, were mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators with a certain degree of fame on the Western Continent.
The difference was that the Yu Clan brothers were actual siblings. With their shared intentions and combined strike technique, their combined might was comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
As for the Fan Clan's Three Heroes of Nanning Sect, they were not blood-related.
Rumor had it that the three had entered the sect as mortals due to their exceptional talent, outshining their fellow disciples at the time.
During their Foundation Establishment stage, they were adopted as disciples by a Nanning Sect cultivator and changed their surnames to Fan.
Later, by chance, all three of them advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
Having grown up together since they were young, they had developed a tacit understanding, and although they didn't possess a specialized combined strike technique like the Yu Clan brothers, their combined might was still formidable.
However, these three had advanced to the mid-Nascent Soul stage later than the Yu Clan brothers.
Moreover, they didn't have any records of actual battles against late-Nascent Soul cultivators, so their fame wasn't as widespread.
Chu Ning had heard of the three before, but as they were reclusive cultivators who rarely showed themselves, he hadn't expected to encounter them here.
After Fu Jing'an revealed their identities, Chu Ning quickly matched their names to their faces.
The one who had spoken first, the taller one, was named Fan Ze.
Among the two who hadn't spoken, the short and skinny one was called Fan Jing, and the one with the round face and medium build was named Fan Jiong.
Knowing that they excelled in coordination, Chu Ning naturally wouldn't give them the opportunity to launch a combined strike easily.
He intended to take out one of them first and see if he could end the battle quickly, disabling one of his opponents.
Thus, as Chu Ning used the Void Flight Technique to rush toward the slightly taller gray-robed cultivator, Fan Ze, he also unleashed a treasure he had prepared earlier.
Even before he arrived, a startling five-colored sword beam shot out from the Five Elements Spirit Sword, slicing toward Fan Ze.
However, what surprised Chu Ning slightly was the trio's exceptionally swift reaction to his attack.
The three, who had been slightly dispersed, quickly converged, each summoning a treasure and shooting out several rays of light to intercept the Five Elements Spirit Sword.
This was no time for testing, so Chu Ning held nothing back.
The Yellow Wind Banner was unleashed, transforming into a earth dragon that blocked Fan Jing, the short and skinny one.
At the same time, the Seven Spirit Drill silently attacked, targeting the round-faced Fan Jiong.
Seeing Chu Ning simultaneously wield three powerful treasures, the trio's eyes flickered with surprise.
However, they didn't panic.
The one in the middle, Fan Ze, held a yellow talisman-like treasure that suddenly emitted a dull yellow glow.
The glow expanded into a protective shield, enveloping all three of them.
The next moment, Fan Jing, the short cultivator, waved a delicate cloud-like flute in his hand, causing a layer of water ripples to appear.
Outside the dull yellow shield, another layer of watery defensive shield appeared.
While the other two defended, the round-faced Fan Jiong brandished a giant cauldron that radiated crimson firelight.
He struck the cauldron's three handles repeatedly, and the fiery cauldron soared into the sky, hovering above Chu Ning.
A stream of flame, like a volcanic eruption, spewed from the cauldron, cascading down like scorching lava, intending to engulf Chu Ning entirely.
In the next moment, yellow radiance emanated from the spirit bowl, enveloping Chu Ning in a haze of yellow light.
The Three Heroes of the Fan Clan couldn't even make out Chu Ning's figure within the yellow haze.
"This guy actually has so many treasures, and he's manipulating them all by himself. How is he able to exert such tremendous power?"
The Three Heroes of the Fan Clan were all astonished in their minds.
However, their attention soon shifted back to the treasures they were facing head-on.
The attacks they had unleashed earlier managed to intercept the five-colored sword beam emitted by the Five Elements Spirit Sword.
But at this moment, Chu Ning's other treasures were already upon them.
The Five Elements Spirit Sword took the lead, slicing directly into the watery defensive shield projected by the short Fan Jing.
That seemingly sturdy shield didn't put up much defense against the Five Elements Spirit Sword, and it crumbled in just three breaths.
"Such formidable attack power!"
Fan Jing's eyes widened in shock.
Prior to this, they had heard from Lou Yanliang and the others about Chu Ning's astonishingly powerful treasures.
However, witnessing how easily his defense was breached still startled him.
Fan Jing had no idea that Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword had recently devoured the essence of the ninth-rank Golden Horned Beast, enhancing its power further.
As Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword struck the second layer of defense, a muddy-colored shield projected by Fan Ze, Fan Jing waved his delicate, cloud-like flute again, adding another layer of watery shield within the yellow one.
Fan Ze wasn't idle either; the talisman-like treasure in his hand glowed with a dull yellow light, reinforcing the protective shield once more.
Just as the two of them were busy with their defenses, Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword broke through the first layer and struck the second, muddy-colored defensive shield.
Like the previous one, this shield didn't offer much resistance and was shattered as well.
However, at the same time, the Five Elements Spirit Sword's power was also spent, and it flew back.
But the Yellow Wind Banner, which had transformed into a yellow earth dragon, arrived just in time and struck down!
Fan Jiong, however, completely ignored this attack. He left the defense to the other two and focused solely on manipulating his fiery cauldron to assault Chu Ning.
Ironically, Chu Ning's fierce offense brought a hint of delight to Fan Jiong.
In his mind, it meant that Chu Ning's defense was more likely to reveal flaws.
What horrified Fan Jiong was the stream of flame erupting from the cauldron, resembling volcanic lava.
When it came into contact with the yellow radiance, the flames were blocked.
The yellow radiance seemed to waver slightly, but it still concealed Chu Ning's figure, making it impossible to land a direct hit on him.
Fan Jiong immediately manipulated his cauldron with intricate incantations, turning it upside down so that the mouth faced downward.
The flames transformed into a fiery red waterfall cascading downward.
Even with this intense assault, the yellow radiance remained unbroken.
Fan Jiong gritted his teeth and pressed his fingers together, pointing them toward his mouth as he muttered an incantation.
Then, he shouted, "Quickly!"
In the next moment, the fiery red cauldron followed the waterfall of flames and slammed down.
Fan Jiong had activated his treasure's entity.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound rang out as the cauldron struck the yellow radiance.
Fan Jiong saw a brownish-yellow giant bowl blocking the cauldron just below it.
No matter how he manipulated his cauldron, he couldn't push it down any further.
"What kind of defensive treasure is this? I've never heard of it before, nor have I heard of this Chu fellow possessing such an ancient treasure!"
Frustration filled Fan Jiong's mind, and he wanted to shout out loud.
He formed seals with both hands, preparing to recall his cauldron.
Suddenly, he spotted a blue flame shooting out from within the yellow radiance.
"Primordial Ice Flame!"
When the Tianji Alliance cultivators studied Chu Ning, who possessed the Heavenly Spirit Fire, they naturally learned about the Primordial Ice Flame as well.
Seeing Chu Ning use the Primordial Ice Flame, Fan Jiong's expression changed drastically.
Before he could react further, the blue flame had already attached itself to the cauldron.
Immediately, a layer of blue ice spread across the cauldron, freezing the raging flames.
"Not good!"
When Fan Jiong saw his life source treasure trapped, his face paled in fear.
"Get away!"
At the same time, a startled shout came from his side. It was Fan Ze warning him.
Due to their years of companionship, Fan Jiong didn't hesitate for a moment and quickly dodged to the side.
As he looked closely, the horror in his heart intensified.
He saw that the multiple defensive shields projected by his two partners had already vanished, and three streaks of dark light were shooting toward him.
The power contained within those streaks threatened even him, a Mid Nascent Soul cultivator.
