Chapter 41

Still, he held something back.

Cleansing the household of traitors was best left to Huang Yaoshi himself—he did not want to overstep.

Within the courtyard, a deathlike silence instantly fell.

Everyone was utterly shaken by Ning Chuan's earth-shattering, overwhelming strike!

One move!

Just one move!

And it had grievously wounded Mei Chaofeng—a top-ranked disciple of Peach Blossom Island and already a master of the Innate Realm— to such a state?!

Just how terrifying was this black serpent's strength?!

Although Qu Lingfeng and the others had known before that Brother Ning Chuan was no ordinary cultivator, capable of slaying a great shark, they had never imagined he was powerful to such a degree!

"Ah—!"

Mei Chaofeng lay on the ground, both arms shattered, several ribs in her chest caved in; the searing pain wrung from her a shrill, ghastly wail like the howling of demons.

She stared at Ning Chuan, her eyes brimming with boundless terror and bone-deep venom, and shrieked with the last of her strength:

"Chen… Chen senior brother… run… run! Don't mind me! This demon serpent is too bizarre! We… we're no match for it!"

She finally understood just how wrong she had been!

This serpent was no ordinary exotic beast at all—it was a primordial fierce beast wearing a serpent's skin!

Chen Xuanfeng, too, was now wild-eyed with fury, his heart and gall both chilled to the bone!

He had never imagined that this black serpent he had always treated as livestock—even contemplating flaying it alive and pulling out its tendons—was hiding such terrifying, unfathomable power!

Even Mei Chaofeng could not withstand a single exchange against it!

If he went up himself, the outcome would likely be the same!

A fierce will to live made him decide in an instant.

He glared viciously at Ning Chuan, as if to etch his appearance into his very bones, then without the slightest hesitation—without even glancing at Mei Chaofeng—spun his whole body's internal force, unleashed his fastest Lightness Skill, and bolted madly toward the outside of the courtyard!

So long as the green hills remain, one need not fear lacking firewood!

If he could escape, there might yet come a day for revenge!

Ning Chuan watched Chen Xuanfeng's panicked fleeing back, ice rising in his eyes, his voice filled with contempt and killing intent:

"Run? In your dreams!"

The lower volume of the Nine Yin Manual was still on Chen Xuanfeng's body—how could he possibly let this fellow escape so easily!
