Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 401: Is Commander Jin’s Strength Unparalleled, Can He Sweep the Battlefield for Me?

"Commanders, I know where the other piece of Earth Spring Spirit Milk is!" Ning Xuan shouted to those inside the barrier, all while dodging Cao Jun's pursuit.

Those two are absolute scum. They drained all of Cao Jun's Essence Blood! That completely foiled my plan to take it for myself. Since they tricked me, I'll pay them back in kind.

Elsewhere, Wu Pianpian and the other three women were still tied up fighting several walking corpses. It wasn't that they were outmatched; Ning Xuan had already figured out how to deal with the corpses. To the four women, however, these creatures were rare sparring partners, an opportunity not to be wasted.

"Are you sure?"

Just as Ning Xuan finished speaking, Fu Baishou and Jin Shaowei appeared simultaneously. Fu Baishou's left sleeve was missing a section, and Jin Shaowei was panting slightly. Clearly, the two hadn't been idle. They must have fought over the loot.

"I'm sure! A moment ago, my sworn brother's corpse somehow stood up. When it saw me, a remnant of its Spiritual Sense entered my mind, revealing the hiding place of the other half of the Earth Spring Spirit Milk!"

"A remnant of Spiritual Sense? Are you insulting my intell—"

Jin Shaowei's vicious words were cut off by Fu Baishou's voice. "Ning Yang, do you know the consequences of deceiving us?"

Ning Xuan shrugged. "I know. I'd end up like them, right? The location of the other half of the Earth Spring Spirit Milk is real, and I can take you there, but on one condition."

"Let's hear it," Fu Baishou said.

"Once we get it, you have to give us some," Ning Xuan replied.

"That's it?" Jin Shaowei asked, surprised.

"I'd like more," Ning Xuan snapped, "but it's not like you'd give it to me."

After the two exchanged a look, Jin Shaowei spoke again. "Seeing as you're so self-aware, we agree." Then, their gazes locked onto the little white snake outside.

"Go!"

With a low shout from Jin Shaowei, several walking corpses, including Cao Jun, rushed out of the Defensive Barrier.

"Brothers, this barrier is amazing! Whose masterpiece is this?" Feigning shock and looking like a country bumpkin who hadn't seen much of the world, Ning Xuan asked as he moved forward.

The two men didn't respond, their attention fixed on the battle outside. They needed to determine the true strength of the little white snake. Ning Xuan quickly fell silent, pretending to observe the duel while secretly touching the Defensive Barrier. After a glance at Ning Xuan, both men ignored him, a mocking smile on their faces.

This fool is utterly ignorant! We've studied this barrier for years and still can't grasp its principles. If he could figure it out, pigs would fly!

Their full attention returned to the fierce battle outside.

A short while later, they glanced at Ning Xuan again. The little white snake's speed was terrifying. Doubts about Ning Xuan's earlier words began to creep into their minds.

Ning Xuan's Spiritual Sense was astonishingly sharp, and he immediately detected the change in them. This is bad!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Outside, the little white snake's body suddenly swelled, twisting the walking corpses one by one until they burst into pieces. Soon, only Cao Jun remained.

Jin Shaowei's expression changed. His Corpse Refining Technique was an Ancient Secret Method that made the Physical Bodies of the walking corpses incredibly tough. Even he couldn't have destroyed them with his bare hands, yet they couldn't last more than a few moments against the little white snake. This beast isn't just fast!

"You! Go out and help!" Fu Baishou suddenly yelled at Ning Xuan.

"I can't! I, Ning Yang, am useless!" Ning Xuan said, terrified as he backed away. "It doesn't matter if I die, but if I delay you from getting the Earth Spring Spirit Milk, that would be a grave sin!"

"Big Brother…" Jin Shaowei couldn't help but chime in.

"I want to see how he managed to escape his pursuers," Fu Baishou said. Seeing Jin Shaowei still hesitating, he added, "Don't worry, I guarantee he'll be fine. After all, he managed to escape safely even while carrying a few deadweights."

Jin Shaowei was taken aback for a moment before realization dawned.

"Who are you calling a deadweight?! So what if your cultivation is a little higher? What's there to be so arrogant about! If we had the same cultivation level, I guarantee I'd beat you so badly you'll be picking your teeth up off the ground!" Wu Pianpian snapped, thoroughly annoyed. This guy was insufferable! How dare he look down on her and her sisters!

Fu Baishou glanced at Wu Pianpian, a flicker of amusement in his eyes. This baffled her. What's wrong with this guy?

"Congratulations, Big Brother!" Jin Shaowei said, glancing from Fu Baishou to Wu Pianpian as he cupped his fists.

While Wu Pianpian was still confused, Qian Yourong's expression changed. Just as she was about to warn her friend, Jin Shaowei's lecherous gaze swept over her. He laughed, "Since Big Brother likes a fiery mare, I'll graciously accept this one."

Reacting to his words, Wu Pianpian's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she was about to attack.

But just then, Ning Xuan's voice rang out. "Commander Jin, with your incredible strength, surely you don't fear this measly little white snake. Would you mind covering for me?"

After a quick look at Fu Baishou, Jin Shaowei turned to Qian Yourong with a frivolous tone. "Beauty, wait for me. I'll be right back, haha."

He then walked toward Ning Xuan with a sleazy smile. "Seeing as you brought these beauties to me, I'll do you this favor."

The little white snake is extremely powerful, but I'm no pushover. Not only is my entire body poisonous, but I also carry Realgar, the bane of all snakes. Besides, even if all that fails, I can still retreat into the barrier in an instant.

Behind them, there wasn't the slightest trace of anger on Qian Yourong's face; in fact, a hidden smile played on her lips. Ning Xuan is standing up for me. As for the danger, I'm not worried at all. I know he would never gamble with his own life. Since he called Jin Shaowei out, the man is undoubtedly doomed. Why bother getting angry with a dead man?

At the same time, she sent a mental message to comfort Wu Pianpian. If Jin Shaowei was about to die, could the other one be far behind? Wu Pianpian was instantly convinced.

Fu Baishou's eyes swept over the two women, a hint of confusion in their depths, but he didn't dwell on it. His gaze turned to the scene outside. Ning Xuan and Jin Shaowei had both left the Defensive Barrier.

BANG!

As Cao Jun's body exploded, the little white snake suddenly shrank, transforming into a streak of light that shot toward Ning Xuan. Slick as an eel, Ning Xuan zipped behind Jin Shaowei, pressing right up against him. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

SPURT!

The smile on Jin Shaowei's face froze. Blood gushed from the center of his forehead.

With a low shout, Ning Xuan grabbed Jin Shaowei and hurled him into the Defensive Barrier. The very instant his body crossed the threshold, before he even hit the ground, a large hole appeared in the back of his head. A single glance revealed his skull was completely empty. In just a few moments, the terrifying Cultivator had his marrow sucked out and soul devoured by the little white snake!

"The Earth Spring Spirit Milk is on him!" Ning Xuan shouted, not pausing for a second as he threw Jin Shaowei's body, his eyes still wide open in death, toward Fu Baishou.
