#10 - Chapter 010: Infernal Affairs in Another World
“How… how can this be?”
“No… I must be seeing things. He’s a cripple whose root bones were destroyed.”
Watching the long saber snapped in two by Jiang Ning’s fingers, the scarred man’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in disbelief.
The cracking, the ceaseless bleeding from his palm, and the constant pain reminded him that this was all real, not an illusion.
With just two fingers, and a casual move, he had broken his move and shattered his long saber.
Only a cultivator in the Primordial Soul Realm could accomplish such a feat.
Even when the deposed crown prince’s root bones weren’t destroyed, he was only at the third level of the Profound Core Realm.
How is this possible? What on earth is happening?
What to do? Run away immediately?
But with his strength, how could he possibly escape?
“It’s my turn to make a move.” Jiang Ning smiled coldly, raising his fist.
He unleashed the Earth-Rank battle skill, the Shattering Fist, using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
“No!”
“Your Highness, spare me!”
“Don’t kill me! I’m willing to be your slave!”
The scarred man was utterly terrified.
Boom!
Jiang Ning’s fist directly shattered a patch of forest behind him.
The small barrier talisman was also destroyed.
“Ahhh~”
The scarred man screamed incessantly in fear.
His crotch was soaking wet, clearly having wet himself in fear.
In the end, Jiang Ning’s fist veered off course, not taking the scarred man’s life.
It wasn’t that Jiang Ning was merciful and intended to spare him.
But Jiang Ning suddenly realized that not killing the scarred man was the best option.
If the scarred man died, Jiang Bei Teng would definitely continue to send people to find trouble for him.
Even causing their father and son to pay even more attention to him.
The risk of exposing his cultivation would become even greater.
He planned to have White Terror possess the scarred man, to put on a good show of internal strife for Jiang Bei Teng.
Seeing that Jiang Ning didn’t kill him, the scarred man was overjoyed.
“Thank you…”
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a powerful baleful aura enter his body.
Instantly, the scarred man’s consciousness was devoured by White Terror.
“Master!”
The scarred man respectfully saluted Jiang Ning, his eyes filled with fervent loyalty.
Indeed, the scarred man was now completely possessed by White Terror.
“Go find a pair of hands similar to mine, and deliver them to Jiang Bei Teng as your report.”
Jiang Ning instructed.
The more he acted like a cripple, the more Jiang Tian Tai and his son would be at ease, even abandoning their attention on him.
Before becoming a saint, Jiang Ning planned to lay low, never acting rashly.
A gentleman takes ten years to exact revenge; there was no need to risk killing Jiang Tian Tai and his son.
Moreover, above the Great Xia Dynasty was the Profound Heaven Holy Land.
If Jiang Ning exposed his strength, who knew if the Profound Heaven Holy Land would deal with him.
Caution was paramount. With four major cheats in hand, it wouldn’t be too late to slowly increase his strength in the ancestral land and become a saint before taking revenge.
“Yes, Master.” White Terror left.
After White Terror left, Jiang Ning smiled coldly, “There’s one more guy who needs to be dealt with; let Black Terror possess him.”
This person was naturally the old eunuch that Jiang Tian Tai had sent to monitor him.
He would enter the ancestral land every so often during the day to inquire about Jiang Ning’s situation.
If Black Terror possessed him, then he could pass off fish eyes for pearls and transmit false information to the Great Xia Emperor.
Jiang Ning returned to the bamboo house, and then began to devour spirit stones to cultivate again.
“Primordial Soul Realm, fourth level!”
Jiang Ning revealed a trace of a smile, very satisfied with this cultivation speed.
The higher the realm, the greater the difficulty of cultivation naturally became.
It was impossible to still be like the first time he cultivated, reaching the Profound Core Realm in half a day.
Jiang Ning estimated that he could break through a level every two or three days in the Primordial Soul Realm.
He could probably break through to the peak of the Primordial Soul Realm in about half a month.
This speed was already an extremely heaven-defying existence.
...
Three days later.
That old eunuch, Eunuch Zhou, entered the ancestral land, coming to monitor Jiang Ning’s situation.
When he passed through an uninhabited place.
Suddenly, his face changed.
A barrier suddenly appeared, trapping him inside.
“What?”
“This… this barrier has the aura of the five elements of heaven and earth. It’s… a divine power!”
“I… I’m just a junior at the peak of the Profound Core Realm. How could I attract a Celestial Realm senior to attack me?”
The suddenly appearing Five Elements Barrier scared Eunuch Zhou silly.
Divine powers could only be used by those at least in the Celestial Realm.
He was just a small cultivator in the Profound Core Realm. For a great cultivator in the Celestial Realm to attack him was completely against all principles.
Jiang Ning looked at Eunuch Zhou, who was about to wet himself in fear, and sneered, directly descending into the barrier.
“Senior, I… I’m just a small Profound Core cultivator. What have I done to offend you?”
“Please, have mercy and spare my life.”
Seeing the suddenly appearing figure, Eunuch Zhou was so frightened that he plopped down, kneeling directly on the ground with both knees.
A Celestial Realm cultivator was an existence that could send him on his way with a sneeze. How could he not be afraid?
He slightly raised his head, glancing at the person who came with the corner of his eye, wanting to see who it was.
“How could it… be you, deposed Crown Prince!”
Eunuch Zhou was frightened silly.
A great Celestial Realm cultivator had turned into that good-for-nothing?
He had almost been scared to death just now, and anger rose in his heart.
He had to teach this good-for-nothing a lesson.
“Eunuch Zhou, I’m no longer the Crown Prince. Why are you giving me such a grand greeting upon meeting me?”
Jiang Ning smiled mockingly.
Eunuch Zhou’s eyes flashed with a terrifying, fierce light, and he stood up directly.
No longer was he the pitiful, humble, begging figure from just now, but became incomparably ferocious.
“That good-for-nothing can’t possibly be a Celestial Realm senior. The Empress Dowager must have given him some treasure.”
“Kill!”
“Even if he has a powerful treasure, he must have the corresponding strength to be able to unleash its power.”
Eunuch Zhou’s face turned cold, and his eyes burst out with astonishing killing intent.
His Majesty had instructed that if this deposed Crown Prince showed any unusual movements, just kill him directly.
Eunuch Zhou used an embroidery needle, attaching it with the power of formidable yuanqi, shooting towards Jiang Ning’s heart.
A cold smile appeared on his face. This deposed Crown Prince was doomed.
Jiang Ning snorted coldly and lightly waved his hand, a vast and boundless power suddenly rising.
The flying needle was directly shattered.
“What?”
“How is this possible?”
“Weren’t… weren’t your root bones destroyed?”
Eunuch Zhou stared blankly, staring at Jiang Ning in disbelief.
Not only was this deposed Crown Prince’s cultivation not destroyed, but he seemed even stronger, at least in the Primordial Soul Realm.
How was this possible?
This was a ghost story!
“Heh heh~”
Just at this moment, a cold laughter rang out.
A terrifying baleful aura rushed into Eunuch Zhou’s body.
“No…”
His painful face twisted, and he screamed miserably.
Not long after, the pain ended.
The look in Eunuch Zhou’s eyes as he looked at Jiang Ning became completely respectful.
“Master.”
Black Terror had successfully possessed Eunuch Zhou.
At this time, the scarred man also came out.
In his hands, he held a pair of bloody hands similar to Jiang Ning’s.
“Well done. Go report to Jiang Tian Tai and his son.”
Jiang Ning said.
“Yes!”
The two Terrors then disappeared from the spot.
Jiang Ning then entered the Forest of Steles as if nothing had happened.
He met that old man again.
He had actually buried himself in the yellow earth, only exposing his head.
Jiang Ning was very curious, so he walked over.
