Chapter 433: Chapter 226: Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique Acquired, You Bastards_2

Everyone was stunned, not expecting him to annihilate the Ning Family members himself instead of letting Wei Fan do it.

"The remaining ones should leave immediately and flee for their lives!"

After instructing the Ning Family members, he didn’t care how they escaped; he sat down intending to end his own life.

"Wait..."

Ji Qingyue suddenly stopped him: "I have a question. You fell into the Demon Dao, so why did you have clan disciples marry Demon Fiends? Without that, we wouldn’t have discovered the Ning Family’s affairs."

If the Ning Family hadn’t married that Butterfly Demon, she and Wei Fan could not have found their way here.

Ning Hao sighed: "Jingxia and Xiang Ancestor fell in love. We were initially opposed, but later she brought out the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique, and we could no longer oppose it.

The Ning Family regained the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique because of her, but was also destroyed because of her; it’s all fate!"

As he spoke, brilliant golden light emitted from his body, and all his power dissipated like a receding tide: "Xiaoye, remember, never practice on people. The Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique is most effective only when swallowing demon fiends..."

With these words, the golden light gradually faded, and he turned into a gust of ashes, disappearing.

The once glorious family of the Chu Kingdom was thoroughly dismantled. All the Ning Family descendants fled in different directions upon Ning Hao’s instruction, leaving Xiaoye standing dumbfounded beside Ji Qingyue, eyes red.

"Rest assured, ancestors of the Ning Family, Xiaoye will strive to cultivate diligently and one day avenge our deep blood feud with the Imperial Family!"

She knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the Ning Family.

"Let’s go!"

Wei Fan and Ji Qingyue swept Xiaoye away, soaring into the sky.

"Masters, what about me?" Zhou Shaobing shouted from below.

"If anyone asks, just tell the truth!"

The voice fell, and the figures of the three had disappeared beyond the horizon.

"Big brother, this is the secret manual for the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique!"

Above the firmament, Xiaoye took out a scroll and handed it to Wei Fan. Wei Fan opened the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique scroll while flying.

The first thing he saw was not the contents of the cultivation technique but a line of small characters.

"Was the ancestor of the Ning Family really killed by the Chu Imperial Family?"

This line of characters was written by the ancestor of the Ning Family before his death, informing the future holder of the scroll about being betrayed and killed by the Imperial Family.

Wei Fan looked back at Xiaoye with curiosity: "How did the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique end up in the hands of that Butterfly Demon?"

Wasn’t it said that the ancestor of the Ning Family was blasted by several Demon Kings working together? Logically, the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique should be in the hands of the Demon Kings who killed the ancestor.

However, Xiaoye couldn’t answer this question because she had no idea Hu Jingxia was a Butterfly Demon, even less how the Ning Family reacquired the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique; some mysteries from the past were simply unsolvable.

[Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique (Uninitiated)]

After a while, when Wei Fan finished reading the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique, it appeared on the panel.

Wei Fan returned the scroll to Xiaoye!

Indeed, the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique is considered demonic martial arts. Not only can it expand one’s origin by consuming demon fiends and extend lifespan, but also through swallowing people to enhance oneself.

However, as Ning Hao said, it’s most effective when swallowing demon fiends, particularly when consumed alive.

"Martial Venerable Realm. I am now the most powerful seven-colored golden body, at the ultimate state of the Martial Venerable Realm. The Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique is useless to me!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Wei Fan shook his head silently.

Every martial art has its limits, like the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, which only allows him to achieve a seven-colored golden body.

Similarly, even if he cultivates the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique, the origin wouldn’t continue to expand; his seven-colored golden body is the limit of the Martial Venerable Realm.

Unlike the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, which becomes useless upon reaching the Martial King Realm, the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique can expand the origin if the origin isn’t at the extreme of the Martial King.

In terms of level, the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique surpasses the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill!

Of course, he could also use the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique not to expand the origin but solely to increase cultivation.

The Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique doesn’t merely expand the origin; it is a miracle skill to seize the essence, qi, and spirit of demon fiends to enhance cultivation. Expanding the origin is just one of the benefits when seizing the essence, qi, and spirit of demon fiends.

"Even if it expands the origin, it shouldn’t be too much!"

If the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique could forge an invincible path, the Ning Family ancestor wouldn’t have been besieged and killed by several Demon Kings. However, he hasn’t truly cultivated it yet. According to the panel additions, the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique’s power in his hands naturally differs from that in others’.

"Indeed, she is a rare genius!"

At this moment, Wei Fan carefully observed the Ning Family girl named Xiaoye. She exuded an ethereal aura close to Dao.

Though her cultivation was at acupoint opening level, strands of the Power of Heaven and Earth were drawn to her, hovering around her body.

Such a scene, once breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm, her ability to absorb the Power of Heaven and Earth to cultivate would far exceed others. Wei Fan recalled he gained such a phenomenon only after perfecting the Celestial Roc Body Cleansing Skill, his body transforming once.

If the Ning Family hadn’t feared him being assassinated by the Imperial Family and didn’t dare to fully nurture her, she certainly shouldn’t still be at acupoint cultivation.

"After passing the city ahead, we’ll reach the territory of the Nether Crow Demon Venerable!" Ji Qingyue’s voice echoed.

The Ten Thousand Corpses Forest was forever shrouded in mist and miasma, constantly emitting a foul stench. Here, not only the human race, but even demon fiends shunned the place.

All because the Nether Crow Race among demon fiends resided here.

The Nether Crow Race loved to eat carrion. Even if they captured living people, they wouldn’t eat them right away, instead killing them and throwing them in the forest to rot before eating.

This peculiar hobby perpetuated a stench over their territory, void of any living beings except the Nether Crow Race.

Besides the stench, the place was filled with life-extinguishing death aura. Though called a forest, it had long lost any living tree. In the desolate forest, several Nether Crows pecked at a corpse.

Not far away was a house-sized, already dead giant tree, on which was a massive bird’s nest.

That was the nest of the Nether Crow Race’s king, the Nether Crow Demon Venerable.

"Finally, descendants who can inherit my Demon Venerable bloodline!"

Within the giant nest, the Nether Crow Demon Venerable revealed a ten-foot true form to incubate its offspring below. After hundreds of years of toil, offspring with the Demon Venerable bloodline finally appeared, so, exhilarated, it personally used its own demon essence to incubate the descendants.

"Nether Crow Demon Venerable, come forth!"

Suddenly, a shout erupted near the Nether Crow Demon Venerable’s ear, and the Power of Heaven and Earth trembled.

An instant later, a sword aura split the miasma and death aura between Heaven and Earth, cleaving down from the heavens like a crescent moon.

The sharp edge shattered clumps of dead trees!

"Intruder! Who dares to trespass on my Nether Crow Race’s territory!"

Just as the Nether Crow Demon Venerable intended to rise and shatter the sword aura, it suddenly remembered its unhatched eggs below. Without intervention, the yet unconceived offspring might be in jeopardy.

By the time it secured the eggs, the sharp sword aura had already cleaved down, tearing open the earth.

Bang!

With the mountain shaking and ground shifting, the sword aura obliterated and unleashed overwhelming power in all directions, shredding everything in its path.

"Caw, caw..."

Suddenly, cries of mournful crows filled the air. Many Nether Crows feasting on carrion died instantly from the sword aura, unable to even scream.

"You bullies!"

The Nether Crow Demon Venerable glared with fury, the sword wasn’t aimed at him; its intent was to murder his kin.

Power surged from his body as he waved a giant hand, immediately neutralizing the sweeping force. Countless Nether Crows flapped their wings, escaping outward.

Whoosh!

He too beat his wings, instantly piercing through the miasma, appearing outside, only to see three humans in the sky not far off – two women, one man.

One woman, with radiant golden brilliance, was slowly withdrawing the Divine Sword she had just swung, her face gleaming with the thrill of slaughter.

"You scoundrels!"

The Nether Crow Demon Venerable erupted in fury and sorrow. He didn’t know how many of his offspring perished due to that one sword strike.

With a flap of his wings, he transformed into a black light, charging forward to avenge his kin.
