Chapter 22: Brother Ning actually has internal energy too?!

Seeing Chen Chen Xuanfeng about to escape the courtyard, a cold light flashed in Ning Chuan’s cold snake eyes!

He opened his blood-red mouth, and the Black Water Mysterious Snake Innate true qi in his dantian surged out like a bursting river, circulating according to the unique method of the Heavenly Snake Chant!

"Heavenly Snake Chant!"

A strange chant, not deafening but filled with peculiar penetrating and vibrating power, erupted from Ning Chuan’s mouth!

The sound wave did not strike in a straight line but carried a spiral vibration, like an invisible drill, as if it could act directly on a person’s spirit and internal organs!

"Puff!"

Chen Chen Xuanfeng, who was fleeing for his life, felt as if his brain had been struck by an invisible giant hammer; gold stars danced before his eyes, and his ears were ringing!

Immediately after, an indescribable nausea and sharp pain came from his internal organs, as if they were about to be shattered by this strange sound wave!

He groaned, his figure staggered, almost falling to the ground, and his footsteps became unsteady.

Blood seeped slowly and uncontrollably from his mouth, nose, ears, and eyes!

Bleeding from the seven orifices!

Just one strike of the Heavenly Snake Chant had caused him severe injury!

This sudden scene caused Qu Qu Lingfeng and the others, who were already in shock, to fall into an even deeper state of stagnation!

"This... this is... internal energy?!"

Qu Qu Lingfeng, lying paralyzed on the ground, endured the discomfort and the weakness brought by the Soft-Muscle Powder, his eyes wide, looking at Ning Chuan in disbelief, exclaiming.

He clearly felt that the strange chant emitted by Ning Chuan contained a vast and pure energy fluctuation!

That was definitely... internal energy!

And it was internal energy far more refined and powerful than theirs!

That internal energy even carried a hint of Innate rhythm that made them feel palpitations!

"Brother... Brother Ning... actually knows martial arts too? And... has such deep internal energy?!"

Lu Lu Chengfeng was also dumbfounded, his voice changing pitch.

He blinked hard, suspecting he was hallucinating due to the poison.

A snake that could speak was already shocking enough.

Now, this snake could actually perform a sound-wave technique containing such powerful internal energy?!

This... this was simply a fantasy!

Wu Wu Mianfeng and Feng Feng Mofeng had their mouths wide open, unable to close them for a long time.

Their minds were blank, completely unable to understand everything happening before them.

Before, although they knew Ning Chuan was powerful and could fight giant sharks, they mostly attributed it to his exotic beast’s formidable physical body and innate instincts.

They never expected that Ning Chuan would actually know how to cultivate human internal martial arts!

And looking at it, his internal energy cultivation was probably even above theirs!

Incredible!

It was simply too incredible!

When did this world become so crazy?

A snake was actually more powerful than them, martial artists who had cultivated for many years?!

Huang Rong’s large, watery eyes were filled with brilliance, sparkling like stars, filled with endless worship and admiration for Ning Chuan.

Brother Chuan is indeed the most amazing!

Not only did he save her, but he could speak, and now his martial arts were so powerful!

He was simply omnipotent!

Chen Chen Xuanfeng felt boundless fear and despair in his heart.

He never expected that this snake’s methods would be so eerie and unpredictable!

That invisible sound-wave attack was simply impossible to guard against!

He hadn't even seen how the opponent struck before he was severely injured!

He didn't dare to stay for a moment, enduring the sharp pain in his internal organs and the vibration of his spirit, using every ounce of his strength to flee even more desperately toward the outside of the island.

His only thought now was to escape Peach Blossom Island, to escape this terrifying monster snake!

He swore that as long as he could survive, he would walk around any snake he saw in the future!

But what he didn't know was that Ning Chuan’s Heavenly Snake Chant just now had actually held back.

Otherwise, with Ning Chuan’s current Innate realm cultivation, if he had used his full power, the Innate true qi contained in that sound wave would have been enough to destroy his spirit instantly; the caught-off-guard Chen Chen Xuanfeng would have long been bleeding from the seven orifices, his spirit scattered, and he would have fainted on the spot, having no strength left to run.

Ning Chuan held back naturally for his own considerations.

He still needed Chen Chen Xuanfeng to "bring" the Nine Yin Manual to a safe place.

His massive snake body lunged forward like an arrow from a bow, chasing after Chen Chen Xuanfeng.

The speed was far faster than before, leaving a clear dragging mark on the ground.

However, he still deliberately slowed down a bit, keeping a distance from Chen Chen Xuanfeng, like a cat playing with a mouse.

He didn't want to catch Chen Chen Xuanfeng right now.

After all, the Nine Yin Manual was still on Chen Chen Xuanfeng.

If he searched the Nine Yin Manual from Chen Chen Xuanfeng in front of Qu Qu Lingfeng and the others, it would be inconvenient for him to "borrow" it, and it would easily arouse unnecessary suspicion.

He needed a "reasonable" opportunity, an opportunity where only he was "present."

Soon, the person and the snake chased and fled to the edge of Peach Blossom Island.

Ahead was the surging, boundless sea.

The sea surface under the night looked even more profound and mysterious.

Chen Chen Xuanfeng looked at the sea close at hand, and a strong hope ignited in his eyes!

As long as he could escape into the sea, relying on his swimming skills and the vastness of the ocean, there might be a glimmer of life! ===== CHAPTER 43 =====

He believed that no matter how powerful this snake was, once in the water, it might not be able to do anything to him!

However, just as this thought arose in his heart and he prepared to leap into the sea,

behind him, Ning Chuan’s cold and mocking voice came again like a death curse:

"Want to jump into the sea? Do you think you can be faster than me in the water?"

Before the words had even faded, Ning Chuan’s massive snake body’s speed surged!

The pursuit that had seemed somewhat "sluggish" before turned into a true thunderous force at this moment!

His body wound and swam on the ground, yet as fast as a galloping horse, kicking up clouds of dust!

In the blink of an eye, Ning Chuan had caught up to Chen Chen Xuanfeng!

That suffocating pressure enveloped Chen Chen Xuanfeng once again!

In Chen Chen Xuanfeng’s eyes, filled with horror and despair, Ning Chuan’s thick and powerful snake tail, like a dragon swinging its tail, carrying a whistling wind and peerless Innate true qi, lashed fiercely at Chen Chen Xuanfeng’s back!

"Bang!"

A dull sound like a giant rock hitting the ground!

Chen Chen Xuanfeng felt an irresistible force coming from his back, as if he had been hit by a small mountain!

His protective true qi shattered like thin ice in front of this violent force!

Immediately after, that destructive force slammed into his body!

He sprayed blood from his mouth, his body flying forward uncontrollably, falling heavily onto the beach like a broken sack, kicking up a cloud of sand.

The "crack" of breaking bones was clearly audible.

He struggled a few times, wanting to get up, but the intense pain and internal organ damage left him without the strength to move even a finger.

His vision went black, and he fainted completely.

Ning Chuan’s strike had been controlled with extreme precision.

It had caused Chen Chen Xuanfeng severe injury, losing his ability to resist and escape, but without killing him outright.

He naturally wouldn't leave any evidence that would allow Chen Chen Xuanfeng to babble in front of Huang Huang Yaoshi about him having read the Nine Yin Manual.

After dealing with Chen Chen Xuanfeng,

Ning Chuan’s cold snake eyes fell on Chen Chen Xuanfeng’s bulging chest.

That was exactly where the second volume of the Nine Yin Manual was hidden.

He extended his flexible snake tail, like a human finger, and with a gentle flick, rolled the second volume of the Nine Yin Manual, wrapped in brocade, out of Chen Chen Xuanfeng’s chest.

Feeling the slightly rough texture of the manual’s paper and the profound aura faintly emanating from it,

a flash of fiery light couldn't help but flicker in Ning Chuan’s eyes.

The Nine Yin Manual!

This peerless divine art, which had stirred up countless bloody storms in the martial arts world and attracted countless heroes to pursue it, had finally fallen into his hands!

Although it was only the second volume, its value was still immeasurable! ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
