Chapter 1203: Chapter 1192: The Glorious History of Nalan Jiuhuang
“It’s like this…”
As the steward Zhang watched Nalan Jiuhuang revel in her happiness, he began narrating a story to everyone.
There was a ti when he was a notorious outlaw, and back then, both he and Nalan Jiuhuang were young.
However, Steward Zhang—Zhang Daolin—was like a rat on the streets, everyone shouting to hit him, especially those with power and wealth who detested him with gritted teeth.
Yet, Zhang Daolin was a character of both good and evil. Occasionally, when he acquired excessive wealth, he would redistribute it to the poor.
Thus, many precious treasures that should have been in the collections of noble families ended up in public markets or black markets, secretly exchanged.
With his status as a formidable outlaw at the ti, there was no possibility of any interaction with the prestigious Nalan Jiuhuang.
However, fate played its hand. After he stole the treasured relic of a major Sect, he was subjected to relentless assassination attempts and pursuits by that Sect.
The one leading these efforts was none other than the then-renowned Nalan Jiuhuang.
Nalan Jiuhuang was highly proficient in Martial Arts and was the inheritor of that Sect’s teachings.
Of course, the martial art Nirvana Phoenix Decree was his own creation, surpassing his predecessors, evolving beyond the basics.
In those tis, several groups were sent to capture him, but Zhang Daolin either evaded them or annihilated them entirely.
In the end, the Sect, driven by desperation, dispatched Nalan Jiuhuang as the leader to begin an all-out revenge campaign against Zhang Daolin.
“Truth be told, if my reputation hadn’t been so tarnished back then, and if I hadn’t poisoned Nalan Jiuhuang to defeat her, I wouldn’t have escaped.
At the mont her life was in danger, she unleashed a powerful attack. If not for her physical limitations and the draining True Qi, her combat strength greatly reduced, I might have died decades ago.”
Zhang Daolin sighed, still showing lingering fear on his face.
All these years, he hid under the Ning Family, changing his appearance significantly, so Nalan Jiuhuang didn’t recognize him at first glance.
“We never expected there was such a connection between you.”
The crowd was filled with awe, silently breaking into cold sweat for Ning Fan in the arena.
Ning Fan, anwhile, leapt towards the True Qi Cyclone, landing softly on the ground, his eyes focused on Nalan Jiuhuang’s Wildfire Rampant attack.
The whirlwind she conjured grew larger, spiraling ever more intensely.
Closing the distance incessantly, as if to burn Ning Fan to ashes.
“Young Ning, aren’t you supposed to be aweso? Can you withstand my Wildfire Rampant?”
“What?”
Ning Fan was shocked, but it was far more than that. Why?
Because though the heat wave was far from so wooden artifacts of the Ning Family mansion, they spontaneously erupted into flas, spreading rapidly.
“Quick, put out the fire!”
“It’s indeed the Wildfire Rampant!”
The crowd stopped watching the confrontation and, under Steward Zhang’s direction, began firefighting efforts.
Once a fire was extinguished here, it ignited there again; once extinguished here, it flared up again close by… and so it repeated.
No matter how hard they tried, running tirelessly, they couldn’t stop the rising temperatures from the heat wave.
“No wonder the Nalan family mbers have beco increasingly arrogant, all thanks to Nalan Jiuhuang’s extraordinary skills.”
“Our Mr. Ning is equally extraordinary.”
“Quit the chatter, focus on putting out the fire.”
Amid their work to extinguish the fire, they couldn’t help but joke a little, showing they had absolute confidence in Ning Fan.
Even if Ning Fan couldn’t win, he was in no real danger.
Thus, the situation beca quite bizarre.
Ning Fan kept retreating, contemplating a strategy to defeat his opponent.
“That’s it!”
Suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed in his eyes as he called out to Duan Yunfei not far away, “Brother Duan, lend your bows and arrows.”
“No problem.”
Duan Yunfei gestured towards the experts from Cloud Breaking Sect.
In an instant, countless bows and quivers were thrown toward Ning Fan.
Ning Fan caught them and brought them before him, drew a Cloud Breaking Arrow, and took aim, making the bow look like a full moon.
His right hand released the string sharply.
With a bang, the Cloud Breaking Arrow shot towards Nalan Jiuhuang.
Whoosh, whoosh…
The Cloud Breaking Arrow was enveloped in dense True Qi, which Ning Fan had refined to a concentration surpassing the True Origin Realm, even infused with a hint of Dragon Clan aura.
The velocity of a chanical attack far exceeded that of human capabilities.
Swish…
The Cloud Breaking Arrow, with a sharp whistle, darted towards Nalan Jiuhuang like a swiftly flying locust.
This fla, in essence, was a whirlwind.
If it could slow down the intense montum of the Wildfire Rampant, Ning Fan’s pressure would ease significantly.
When Nalan Jiuhuang’s Vitality burned out, everything would conclude.
At least, this was Ning Fan’s thought.
Watching the arrow fly, Nalan Jiuhuang sensed the mighty True Qi on the Cloud Breaking Arrow; the True Qi Cyclone was affected but negligibly.
Even ants, though small, in thousands or tens of thousands, could unsettle an elephant’s pace, perhaps even hinder its journey.
Ning Fan intended to win through quantity, shooting one Cloud Breaking Arrow after another in quick succession.
Again and again, more and more arrows followed…
This ti, Cloud Breaking Sect had dispatched over dozens of experts, each bringing 20 Cloud Breaking Arrows in their quivers.
These Cloud Breaking Arrows were crafted from special materials, enhanced with a unique secret technique, giving them the power to pierce a leaf midair, striking lethally.
Swoosh, swoosh…
A myriad of Cloud Breaking Arrows advanced fiercely, strongly clashing with the whirlwind.
Each Cloud Breaking Arrow that landed created a slight influence on the whirlwind’s speed.
As the numbers increased, it beca noticeably more challenging to wield the Wildfire Rampant technique, and the whirlwind’s speed visibly slowed.
Seeing his thod was effective, Ning Fan gathered the quivers to him, launching a resourceful offensive.
His energy seed inexhaustible as he shot Cloud Breaking Arrows one after another, continuously…
The True Qi Cyclone and Cloud Breaking Arrows clashed, with the whirlwind sowhat slowed, though the Cloud Breaking Arrows were ground to dust.
“Ugh…”
Duan Yunfei and the Cloud Breaking Sect’s experts groaned with heartache at the sight.
If not for helping Ning Fan this ti, Duan Yunfei would never have chosen to use the Cloud Breaking Arrows.
The crafting of these arrows was extrely challenging, and the enchantnt with secret techniques consud considerable effort and ti.
The number of Cloud Breaking Arrows brought out this ti exceeded half of Cloud Breaking Sect’s reserve.
If they were all reduced to ashes in this encounter, it would be a significant blow to Cloud Breaking Sect.
After all, these were their lifelines.
If they were targeted specially by Jianghu sects or noble families, their defenses would weaken, severely affecting the Sect’s safety.
