Grasping Evil

"I want it, Jietu!"

Ning Fan raised his blood sword and pointed at Lu Jiefen. [;Starting]

It seems that if the other party fails to trust, then this sword will dare to slash at the dignified fire general!

In the blink of an eye, the blood dragon was subdued by stone soldiers, and the black dragon was maimed by a female corpse. Looking at the fiery platform that was in disarray, Lu Jiefen's face was extremely ugly.

He originally formulated three methods to obtain the Luo Yunjie map.

Let Lu Bei steal! Make Jingyun intimidate! Take it by gambling!

There are only three ways, all of them failed because of Ning Fan alone.

The blood dragon demon sword, this sword seems to have a natural suppression on the land of the blood of the blood dragon.

The sword power merged, and Ning Fan's voice seemed to change into two.

One is me, and the other is the order of the Sword Bone Heavenly Demon Blood Dragon.

I want it, Jiemap!

Luo Yun's side is supported by the demon concubine, Lu Daochen is restrained, Ning Fan is holding the sword to cut down the enemy, and the Jinghuo Department's three generals who have entered Luo Yun are all dead... Lu Jie Fen Xin knows that today, if he doesn't If you hand over the boundary map, it will be difficult to get out of Luo Yun alive.

"Lu Jie Fen, although you are in the late stage of God Transformation, I can't wait to kill you, but if you don't have the border map, the old man will fight the power of the gift and make you seriously injured, but you can still do it. How to choose, you should understand!" Lu Daochen The cloudy old eyes flashed a threat.

"Hmph, that's all, the mere boundary map, this will not be discredited by others! In this betting battle, you, Luo Yun, won!"

Lu Jie Fen's eyes were sullen, but his expression did not reveal a single point. He patted the storage bag, took out a palm of the dark red ancient beast, and threw it to Lu Daochen. At the same moment, it turned into blood and smoked for tens of thousands of miles. Outside, escape.

Lu Daochen did not chase. The world map has been obtained, and it is not worth it to fight with Lu Jie to death or die...

He slowly landed on the fire platform, approached Ning Fan step by step, and finally, under the gaze of all Luo Yun Yaozu. Hand over the map to Ning Fan.

"Pure Fire Realm Map, it's yours! As for the old man's realm map... If you answer one thing to the old man, it's also yours!"

"What's up!"

"rest assured,

For you. It's not difficult! "

Lu Daochen's eyes flashed a trace of exhaustion and relief, his eyes swept across the capital under the fire platform, he took a deep breath, and immediately announced loudly.

"From today onwards, Lu Bei will be my Luo Yun's eighth demon general. Those who refuse to accept it. Deprive him of his military position and expel Luo Yun!"

Lu Daochen's eyes were firm. As soon as his voice fell, Luo Yundu County. A moment of silence.

No one has ever been promoted to a demon general without being assessed by a demon general or entering the realm of transformation into a god.

But no one doubted that Ning Fan had the strength to be promoted to a demon general.

"I'm waiting for the demon of the capital. No one refuses! I've seen General Bei!"

The demon clan is martial, and today's Ning Fan has shown the group of demons what it means to be tyrannical.

This person is qualified to be Luo Yun's general! Without this person. Today will be compared, Luo Yun will lose.

It's just that many old monsters have doubts... Lord Feng Yao, why did you give the world map to Lu Bei?

Isn't this thing necessary to wake up the Demon Shuai-sama...

Wangjiang Tower was included in Luo Yun's forbidden area, because this was Luo Yun's general mansion after Ning Fan was promoted to a demon general. Even dozens of miles around were turned into palaces. In one day, countless pavilions and pavilions were built, and 10,000 demon armies were assigned to Ning Fan, who became the direct subordinates of General Bei and guarded the palace!

During the ten days, Ning Fan sat firmly on the stone pass, running the demon power Zhou Tian.

In front of him, there is a world map, three storage bags, and a bloodletting sword on his knees.

Feng Nu and Cha Nu were sent to take care of the general's mansion. In the stone pass, they guarded the female corpse and the stone soldiers, each capturing a wild beast and dragon soul.

This is all Ning Fan's gains from this battle.

From the hands of Jingyun, to win the blue flame grass, the demon power is not far away.

From the hands of Jin Qun, he won the Lisun Spear, and there is no shortage of magical magic powers.

From Li Companion, he obtained the Blood Sword and Dragon Soul, and even this Li Companion did not know where to get a large piece of Primordial Star Iron, which was also cheaper for Ning Fan.

The demon power is not far away.

The world map also got one-ninth, and even judging from Lu Daochen's behavior, the other world map was easily obtained as long as he promised him something. That matter is extremely difficult for Lu Daochen, but for himself, it may be extremely simple... How to do it? After seeing Lu Daochen, you will know everything. Presumably Lu Daochen has been waiting for it.

Huashen, Huashen... In Yue Kingdom, Nascent Soul is a legend, in Dajin, Huashen is the supreme, in Endless Sea, Huashen is still the ancestor, but in his hands, he has killed 7 Huashen, even I am about to enter that legendary realm...

It's just that the closer he gets to God Transformation, the more lonely and tired Ning Fan's heart feels.

Tired, very tired... When slaying the enemy, there should be no hesitation, but after slaying the enemy, looking at the pool of blood of the enemy, Ning Fan's heart became more and more tired.

Li Companion, the hatred of the day, beheaded him, strangely, what Ning Fan felt was not happiness, but emptiness...

Is this what revenge feels like?

Maybe one day, if you kill Emperor Nirvana yourself, you will be even more empty and confused.

Among the demon clan and demon clan, after transforming into a god, you can become a general.

In ancient times, once a monk turned into a god, he could enter the heavenly court, be enshrined as a god, and ride on the battlefield in a golden flame chariot. This is the real origin of the word 'transfiguration'...

In the Jindan stage, the key to the demons is slaying love.

The inner demon level of the Divine Transformation Stage is Zhan Fan.

This step is to completely cut himself off from the mortal world, and crush the past one by one.

It is rumored that when monks transform into gods, they will sink into the heavenly stele with their minds. Before the stele, they will understand the past and present life, cut off the world, and engrave their names on the stele to be recognized by heaven.

It can be said that no matter what kind of gods, demons, and demons, if it is not a special situation, if you want to transform into gods, you need to be recognized by the Tao of Heaven.

Therefore, beheading the cultivator of the transformation of the gods will make Tiandao so angry and generate such a huge evil spirit.

"Cut off the past... I don't even know what my past is... From Ming Luoguo's dream, I know my surname Yun, who my father is, who my mother is, and whether they are alive, I don't know... so , how can we cut off the past and leave a mark on the monument of heaven and path... And what the ancestor of Dongxu said, I can't transform into a god, I need to transform into a demon, can I understand this as a refusal to engrave my name on the stele , Under the gaze of Tiandao, leave handwriting..."

Ning Fan felt as if he had fallen into a huge mystery.

During the second awakening of blood, with the blood of awakening Fuli, he avoided the calculations of a certain true immortal.

But get the blood of liberation. Step by step, let yourself come into contact with the biggest secret between heaven and earth.

heaven. Why did it collapse... Why did the demon race lose their 'spirit'... These are the secrets that true immortals do not know. I took a step by step, as if to spy on...

"Light...earth...worm..."

While Ning Fan pondered, the female corpse held a scarred black dragon's soul, shaking in front of Ning Fan's eyes, like a child eager for praise.

Following Ning Fan's order, she took down the little dragon in the middle stage of God Transformation, and she wanted to be praised.

"Earthworm..." Ning Fan laughed. Rubbing the blue silk of the female corpse, I couldn't help laughing.

In the eyes of the female corpse, this dignified black dragon desolate beast is only an earthworm.

Even if she was despised by the female corpse. The black dragon didn't dare to complain at all, the dragon's eyes were full of pleading and looked at Ning Fan.

"Hehe... Little brother Hei Ya, I have seen Big Brother Lu Bei."

"…"

"Before, my younger brother was in the claws of the carp companion. If I offended Big Brother Pei, it was a crime that deserved death... But that's not what my younger brother intended! Big Brother Pei is brave and unparalleled, the tiger's might astounds the world, and the blood sword slashes the true spirit. Kill the carp. With the evil general, let the younger brother escape from the clutches, the younger brother is very grateful! There is no other advantage of the younger brother, but one thing is to repay the gratitude! Does the brother of the big brother need a general? The eldest brother's evil spirits are all executed by the younger brother to vent his anger for the eldest brother!"

This black tooth seems to be extremely proficient in flattering words. When he was summoned by Li Companion, he continued to flatter him, was captured by Ning Fan, and then turned around to compliment Ning Fan.

He didn't want to die, he didn't want to... Now that he was in the hands of Ning Fan, in order not to die, he naturally wanted to show his intentions.

"Hey, this Lu Bei, don't look at the cultivation base is not high, but it is indeed a evil star, but, have you seen fewer evil stars? Based on brother's experience, slap this evil star and give this evil star. As a thug for a few days, you can definitely save your life... Later, if there is a chance, it will be easy to get away again..."

Heilong looked flattering, but his heart was humming.

He is proud that he is the most outstanding monster of the Black Dragon Clan. If he hadn't accidentally offended someone who shouldn't have offended, he wouldn't have been reduced to a sinful dragon.

He was certain that the wild beasts in the middle stage of his dignified transformation of gods were all submissive to Ning Fan, and the other party was reluctant to kill him!

It's a pity that Heilong was completely wrong.

"Soul search!"

These two words came out of Ning Fan's mouth, but it was like a forest of ice, and the demon power in his palm shook, and he has begun to search for souls and memories!

Heilong looked terrified, he was a wild beast in the middle stage of God Transformation, what a tyrannical thug he was to stay by his side, how could Lu Bei be willing to search his soul!

Once the soul search is successful, he will suffer damage to the sea of ​​consciousness and become an idiot!

what!

The black dragon screamed, and at the moment when his soul was about to be taken out, a thunder dragon seal rose up in the sea of ​​​​knowledge, which easily broke Ning Fan's soul-searching technique.

"Huh? I didn't expect you, little dragon, to have such a high-level memory seal set on the sea of ​​consciousness. I'm afraid that there is no broken void, and there is no way to spy on half of the memory..."

Ning Fan stretched out his hand and took the soul of the blood dragon in Shi Bing's hand into his hand. With a cold look, he searched for the soul!

Black Dragon was shocked!

This Lu Bei is a ruthless lord, the thugs of the god-turning wild beasts, don't pay attention to it at all, come up to the soul, so sharp!

If you fail to draw yourself, if you don't give up, you have to draw blood dragon again! In the eyes of this guy, wild animal farts don't count!

The blood dragon is afraid!

Compared with the black dragon, this blood dragon is a little more taciturn and tougher.

Although he was captured by Ning Fan, he also had a hint of taking refuge to save his life, but he was not like the black dragon, who flattered and lowered his worth.

After all, he is a desolate beast in the early stage of divine transformation, and a desolate beast must have the pride of a desolate beast!

It's just that the blood dragon never imagined that Ning Fan would search for the soul of the black dragon and destroy its memories.

The blood dragon did not expect that the search for the black dragon failed, and Ning Fan did not hesitate to search for himself.

what!

The blood dragon also screamed, and the sea of ​​​​knowledge raised a thunder dragon seal, barely protecting the memory.

It's just that the level of this seal is obviously slightly weaker than that of Heilong. After Sohu's failure, this seal seems to know that it can't stop Ning Fan's soul search.

In just a moment of effort, the seal destroyed the Blood Dragon Sea of ​​​​Consciousness horribly. Ning Fan's eyes sank, and he withdrew the Soul Search Technique, but the Soul Search failed...

The blood dragon is not as lucky as the black dragon, and the result of the failed soul search is to become an idiot...

Heilong's heart palpitations can't be calmed down, he sighs endlessly, so dangerous, so dangerous!

Fortunately, his seal is slightly stronger than the blood dragon. Otherwise, he must have become an idiot.

Looking at the blood dragon's empty eyes, the black dragon's scalp numb. My heart trembled...for the first time since it fell into Ning Fan's hands. Worrying about your own destiny...

"Well... It's only a line, and it can be successful. It's a pity that it failed in the end... It's a pity that this blood dragon, that's all, this dragon is a blood dragon.

Ning Fan released the blood dragon and slashed the blood sword, cutting the blood dragon into two pieces. The blood of the silk dragon is submerged into the blood sword, moisturizing the sword bone...

"Fuck! This is a wild beast, kill it if you say it!"

The black dragon trembled more violently, his fragile body like an earthworm trying to get out of Ning Fan's palm. But could not break free.

"How to deal with this black dragon..." Ning Fan said to himself.

"Accepted the younger brother, the younger brother does not want to die, the younger brother is willing to be a thug for the elder brother! Be a servant!" Heilong responded hastily, this time. He was genuinely committed. Can't he be sincere, he can't become Ning Fan's thug, he definitely has only one path to death...

"To accept you as a slave? Well, well, in the mid-sentence transformation stage, in a short period of time, it's still slightly useful... In this case, I'll plant a chant ban for you..."

Ning Fan changed his tactic and used his mind power to plant a chant ban on the Black Dragon Sea of ​​Consciousness.

This sentence of 'kind of chant ban' made the black dragon even more frightened, the earthworm-like dragon body trembled non-stop.

Chanting ban!

This Lu Bei is so brave! Doesn't he know that the law of the Heavenly Demon Realm stipulates that no one is allowed to plant a chant ban on the true spirits! Violators are regarded as provoking the power of the true spirit!

That's right, as a little demon from the lower realm, how could this Lu Bei know about the upper realm law... Hey, even if this evil star knows the upper realm law, will he obey it? Not to mention reciting the ban on the True Spirit Race is the life of the True Spirit, and this Lu Bei has also taken two...

It's over... Brother dignified black dragon, this life is over.

If you are planted with chant ban, brother will never try to escape from this person's clutches...

Reciting Ning Fan has planted many times, but this time, he failed.

The ban was clearly arranged successfully, but its control over the black dragon was extremely weak...

"Huh?" Ning Fan pondered.

As everyone knows, after being planted, the black dragon was overjoyed.

"What kind of low-level chant ban is this, trying to control brother! What a joke! Could it be that this Lu Bei doesn't know that true spirit demon blood is almost immune to ordinary chant ban, unless it is 'demon ban', it is impossible to control the real spirit at all what..."

Heilong secretly rejoiced in his heart, it seemed that Lu Bei didn't know the ban on Yaojing.

Although it was planted with a chant ban, in reality, as long as the black dragon secretly refines chant ban with demon blood, this so-called chant ban will be secretly freed by him sooner or later, and find an opportunity to escape from Ning Fan's claws. …

Heilong's proud color was caught in Ning Fan's eyes, and his eyes turned cold.

"die!"

It was actually directly urging the mind ban to try to kill the black dragon!

However, when he saw the chant ban in the sea, once it was activated, it immediately turned into a pattern and burst.

The black dragon's sea of ​​consciousness felt pain, the dragon's mouth spurted blood, and his eyes were extremely frightened, but he was not dead.

Terrible, terrible! This Lu Bei, in order to test whether the chant ban is effective, directly urged the chant ban...

Fortunately, the chant ban is invalid, otherwise, I will not be injured, but will die!

"Sure enough, this chant ban can't restrain you..."

Ning Fan's eyes froze, if he couldn't control the black dragon with his mind control, keeping the dragon by his side would only be a hidden danger...

According to his observation, when Heilong heard the word ban, his fear was not a disguise. After seeing that his chant ban was inferior and ineffective, his happiness, triumph, and contempt were not disguise.

In this way, Ning Fan can judge that the banning of his own is useless to Heilong, but the reason is unknown. If you want to control the black dragon and plant a ban, there is indeed some kind of special ban, the black dragon knows it, but he doesn't know...

Looking towards Shi Bing, Ning Fan asked lightly.

"Shi Bing, let me ask you. Why is the chant ban I planted in this sea of ​​evil dragon consciousness invalid?"

"This dragon's body belongs to the black dragon clan, the true spirit demon clan. It is rumored that the demons of the true spirit race in the heavenly demon world are immune to ordinary chant bans with their blood alone. It seems that only demon bans can control the true spirit demon clan... If this demon is not True Spirit Race, I have several kinds of reciting bans, which can control this demon, since this demon is a true spirit, it will not be controlled by any forbidden spell except the demon ban!"

"Yaoban? So that's the case. Since you don't even know this technique, there's nothing you can do..."

Ning Fan's eyes turned towards the black dragon, his eyes turned cold,

"Black tooth! Lu Mou will give you three breaths of time, and tell you the spell of the demon ban without omission! If what you say is false, the ban will be useless. You will die! If you don't know the ban, it will be useless to keep you. Death! Blood Dragon. It's a lesson for you!"

Ning Fan's breath was awe-inspiring, and the black dragon trembled.

Three breaths. He only has three breaths to decide his own destiny!

Fortunately, Black Dragon happened to know one of the magic forbidden techniques.

Unfortunately, once Ning Fan got the demon ban and planted it on him, he would have to be Ning Fan's slave for the rest of his life.

And the black dragon had no choice. If he doesn't tell the law of demon ban, then what awaits him is not slavery, but... death!

Take a breath.

Second interest.

The third interest has not yet come. The black dragon gritted his teeth and said,

"I, I said! Please give me a jade slip, and I will engrave the method of banning the demon. I will engrave it on the jade slip..."

Heilong's face darkened, after all, he could not escape the fate of becoming Ning Fan's slave.

"That's enough, that's enough! Brother, even if he became this person's dragon slave, he is still alive. That blood dragon is pitiful. It's a good dragon, and it's just like a sacrificial sword... Hey, what about becoming a slave? It's not like Leilong, it's not like this Lu Bei, it's just that if my brothers from the Heilong clan know about this, my brother's reputation will definitely plummet... Just let them laugh, brother's coquettish coquettishness , they don't understand!"

Heilong is proficient in the spiritual victory method, and with a few words, he comforts himself and accepts the reality.

Demon ban, engraved on jade slips.

Ning Fan read the jade slip, and with the help of the demon blood and the divine sense, he planted a lifelong ban on the black dragon.

Flicking the storage bag and taking out the Jinyan Car, Ning Fan's eyes flashed.

This golden flame chariot is a military chariot of the ancient heaven, and its speed is not only related to the flames that make up the body, but also to the monsters that pull the chariot.

If it was back then, a god-turning general would have been able to have a horse-drawn carriage.

And only a true immortal master, the Jinyan chariot can pull the chariot with the dragon...

This black dragon was seriously injured by the female corpse, slashed the dragon's claws, and its strength was greatly damaged, and it only had a demon soul and no demon body, so its combat power was dispensable.

If he is the driver who pulls the cart, he can make the Jin Yan cart run at an astonishing speed.

"Jin...Jinyan car! This is the first time I have seen this car!"

Secretly, this Lu Bei took out the golden flame car and put it in front of him, did he want to give it to himself?

Oops, this Lu Bei finally sees how good his brother is, and wants to give him a Jin Yan car to buy himself...

Heilong couldn't help but feel a little proud, but Ning Fan's words were like a basin of cold water poured on his head.

"From today onwards, you stay in this car and become the spirit of this car. In the future, when a certain Lu travels, you will pull this car and become a dragon horse."

"Bah! Brother, the dignified young master of the Heilong clan, you ask brother to pull the cart for you, Lu Bei, don't be too arrogant!"

"Humph!"

Ning Fan snorted coldly, urging the recitation of the ban, and immediately, the black dragon little soul, the pain was unbearable, and the eyes were terrified.

When it's over, I get carried away with pride and forget that Lu Bei is a ruthless master.

"Pull! Brother will pull the car for you, stop the demon ban quickly, brother will die of pain!"

"Pay attention to your tone! Next time, if you get carried away again, don't blame Lu Mou for being ruthless... Speaking of which, I can't search for souls, but what if I torture you directly?"

Ning Fan's eyes flashed, but he was very interested. From Heilong's mouth, he set out a set of secrets of the land of demon spirits in the heavenly demon world.

Not afraid of the black dragon being dishonest and dishonest, he will prompt the demon ban.

Heilong's vest felt cold, and he could predict that he would have to suffer the fruits of this torture...

Three days later, Ning Fan left the customs, and the black dragon, the female corpse, and the stone soldier were all put away by him.

Walking in the general's mansion, Ning Fan was slightly surprised. The place of the general's mansion had already been taken care of in an orderly manner. As soon as Ning Fan walked out, the demon guards saluted and the maid greeted him.

He seemed to know that Ning Fan liked plum blossoms, and cold plums were planted everywhere in the palace.

He seems to know that Ning Fan likes snow, and there is an ice formation in the palace. Although it is not cold, there is snow falling.

The tea girl and the wind girl are very attentive to please themselves...

Ning Fan smiled slightly, this scene reminded him of Qimei's past.

In his heart, a warm current surged through, making his tired heart cheer up a little.

Even if you are tired, even if you are tired, you still have to go the way you should go.

Life has no ifs, no regrets, and even no room for rest, and Ning Fan has long been unable to turn back, so he can only go on like this.

"It's time to find Lu Daochen and see what this person's purpose is... If I can successfully cooperate with this person, I can live a stable life for the time being. In this Luoyundu County, I will become a god!"

Ning Fan's eyes were fixed, and he walked through the building and passed the pavilion. At the end of the corridor, under Xuemei in the other courtyard, there was Lu Wan'er standing alone, as if waiting for Ning Fan here every day.

"Wan'er..."

Ning Fan approached step by step.

When Lu Wan'er heard the call, she turned around slightly, but her eyes were full of shame and anger.

"Hmph, Wan'er is your name!"

Ning Fan was startled, this little fox is quite angry today.

"Who messed with our Miss Wan'er..."

Ning Fan took a step, turned into a purple smoke shadow, and appeared directly behind Lu Wan'er, grabbed her waist, held it softly, and squeezed it gently.

what!

When her waist was invaded, Lu Wan'er screamed, her face even more embarrassed, but no matter what, she couldn't break free from Ning Fan's arms, so she had to give up, half leaning in Ning Fan's arms, and seeing no one around, she felt a little relieved. But still puffed up.

"Let go! If I don't let go, I'll call someone and let the whole world know that Luo Yun's eighth general, the North General Lu Bei, is a despicable and shameless villain who bullies women!"

Obviously duplicity, if Ning Fan let go, he would be a fool.

Seeing this girl's angry words, could it be that she has provoked her?

"Okay, alright, looking at your expression, I must have made you angry... But let me know what's making you unhappy, okay?"

"You still ask! Sister Yaofei told me... You are not Lu Bei, you are not Yaozu, you, you... you have been hiding from me..."

Lu Wan'er's pretty face flushed red, her eyes tense.

"Lu Bei, are you really not a monster... You are not Lu Bei, who are you... I asked the master, and he said, you are Zhou Ming, a human race outside the sleeping place... I don't believe it..."

"If I wasn't Lu Bei, what would you do..." Ning Fan's eyes were serious.

"I don't know..." Lu Wan'er bit her lip.

"If I were Luo Yun's enemy and sneaked into Luo Yun in order to hunt down the Third Realm Demon Commander, you would attack me..."

"I have no idea…"

"If I like you, will you like me too..." Ning Fan suddenly laughed.

"I don't know...you, what did you say!"

Lu Wan'er's pretty face blushed, all her dissatisfaction turned into complicated thoughts and she was stunned.

"Silly girl, let's go, let's meet your master together, see him, what's the purpose..."

"But you can rest assured that this person is malicious to me, and even if I am not a demon clan, I will not be an enemy of Luo Yun, even if Luo Yun loses me, for your sake, I will not kill here indiscriminately. innocent…"

"Also, my real name is neither Lu Bei nor Zhou Ming... My name is Ning Fan."

Ning Fan let go of his arms, patted Lu Wan'er's blue silk, his eyes were gentle, and people couldn't imagine that this person was a terrifying and murderous monster.

"I believe that you won't betray me, so tell your real name, even if you really betray me, I won't hate you..."

"I won't tell anyone!" Lu Wan'er vowed and said it without thinking.

Immediately, he blushed and whispered.

"I won't tell anyone...no..."

Hanmei, Fengxue... In a trance, Ning Fan seemed to be back in the seven plum years.

Killing intent, a little bit of restraint, this is the performance of the tempering and sublimation of the devil's heart.

Step by step, approaching the gods.

Ning Fan could deceive Lu Wan'er, but he didn't. He could continue to hide it, but he didn't.

It is destined that some people, he will not live up to, let alone hurt.
