Chapter 111: When It Rains, It Pours
Xiang Kun, whom You Shi had possessed, was only an Ascension-realm cultivator. Without any subordinates around and with both his legs broken, he could hardly avoid blows from Xiao Nanfeng's Immortal Cicada.
The Immortal Cicada slashed precisely at You Shi's head. Part of the energy was absorbed by his qi barrier, but the remainder created a deep wound in his head that spurted out blood.
However, You Shi somehow managed to trap the Immortal Cicada in place in Xiang Kun's body
"He's still alive. Let me have a go at him!" Yu'er drew her sword and made to rush over.
Xiao Nanfeng held her back. "Don't. It's dangerous!"
You Shi suddenly self-destructed. A wave of energy surged toward everyone. Xiao Nanfeng's Immortal Cicada, caught in the epicenter, shattered.
"Is he crazy?!" All the cultivators were sent flying by the explosion.
"Is he committing suicide?!" Yu'er cried out.
"He's not dead. He's simply forfeiting Xiang Kun's physical body, and ruining my Immortal Cicada along with it," Xiao Nanfeng replied, frowning. This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
Black wind swirled within the cave. The blood mist into which You Shi had exploded reformed as a bloody outline of a person, almost like a sinister avatar.
"Nanfeng, just how many of my plans have you ruined in such a short period of time? Even the formation that I laid out here won't have much of an effect because I've lost my physical body. You really are my nemesis, aren't you?" You Shi's voice was wrathful.
Xiao Nanfeng looked toward the five black-armored cultivators. "Did you see that? He killed your young master. He's the enemy here—yours and mine alike. We might have a grudge against each other, but we can table that for later. What we need to do now is live on by working together to defeat him. Otherwise, we're all dead!"
The five black-armored cultivators frowned, but they eventually all nodded, understanding the severity of the situation. They drew their blades and pointed them toward You Shi.
The five cultivators all rushed toward You Shi simultaneously.
"You five fools—I left you all alive so you could help cover up my identity, but I don't need you anymore. I set up my formation around you, so your bodies are now under my control. Do you still think you can go against me? Die!" You Shi shouted.
The five black-armored cultivators instantly exploded and formed five clouds of bloody mist that surrounded You Shi.
"Is this the power of formations? To have killed five Ascension-realm cultivators instantly..." Yu'er cried out.
"Well? Nanfeng, what other tactics do you plan to use against me?" You Shi laughed coldly.
"Were you deliberately waiting here for me? You knew I was going to come?" Xiao Nanfeng called back.
"The Red Emperor herself was assisting you, so I'm sure you would have been able to gain his approval. Emperor Wei must have given you the key to his inheritance."
"You knew?"
The other four clouds of blood mist, which had been fighting against Yu'er's spiritual phoenixes, were all dragged toward the ring. They tried to escape, but to no avail. The beast's bloodthirsty maw swallowed them all.
"No, no! How could this be?!" You Shi cried out.
Xiao Nanfeng then pointed the ring straight toward You Shi. The beast within, discovering yet another prey, let out an excited howl. The howl shook the entire cavern as frightening suction latched onto You Shi.
"No, no! This is impossible!" You Shi howled in panic.
The suction dragged him ever closer to the ring as the beast within exerted incredible force.
"No! My formation, to me! Transfer all the energy back!" You Shi commanded.
From every corner of the cavern came a torrent of black energy straight toward You Shi's blood-mist body. You Shi grew to a hundred times his original size, with commensurate strength besides. He became a blood giant that pressed against the boundaries of the cavern—but even so, he was unable to escape from the beast. Slowly but surely, he was being sucked inward.
"No! How could this be? This can't be happening!" You Shi cried out.
One of his feet had already been sucked inside. He scrabbled for purchase with dear life, but nothing was effective. Despair wracked his soul.
"A cursed effigy? That beast's a cursed effigy, and not the skeleton from before, either. Only a peak existence could exert such power. Nanfeng, just who are you? How could you be in command of so many cursed effigies?!" You Shi howled.
With a boom, You Shi was completely sucked into the ring and devoured by the beast within.
The beast looked at the outer world through the ring, its eyes like two huge red lanterns, as though trying to identify its next prey. When it stared at Xiao Nanfeng, its horrifying bestial aura drenched his back in sweat.
Xiao Nanfeng shut off his connection to the ring, closing it up and isolating the beast once again.
Xiao Nanfeng panted for breath. He had the feeling that the beast within the ring very much wanted to devour him. He had used the ring in hopes that the beast within might be able to help him out, not expecting that it would go so far as to consume the five clouds of blood mist, along with You Shi himself.
"Nanfeng, how could there be a beast in your storage ring?" Yu'er asked cautiously.
Xiao Nanfeng made a face at her. "I don't know, either. It's been in there all this time."
"You Shi said that the beast was a cursed effigy?" Yu'er frowned.
"A cursed effigy?" Xiao Nanfeng frowned.
He hadn't even dealt with Madam Rouge yet. Why had another cursed effigy appeared? What's more, this one had a particularly frightening ability. Would it be safe for him to continue using this storage ring? What if the beast were to run out one day and swallow him up?
"Where's your storage ring?" Yu'er suddenly asked.
"Isn't it—" Xiao Nanfeng suddenly stopped short.
His storage ring had vanished and transformed into a tattoo around Xiao Nanfeng's middle finger on his left hand instead. At this point, he wouldn't be able to remove the ring even if he wanted to—but its storage functionality was still active.
"Could the cursed effigy in your ring have done this? Is it deliberately preventing you from removing the ring because it's unwilling to leave you?" Yu'er asked in worry.
Xiao Nanfeng: ...
