Chapter 543: Chapter 278: Rebellious Disciple, Behold the Sword! _2

With a beguiling smile, she carried out the most cruel and malicious acts.

The poison springing from her fingernails moved with alarming speed and reached Baili An in a flash, while his movements seemed incredibly slow and casual. He tilted his head slightly, a crimson beam grazing his cheek, leaving behind a sharp line of blood.

The blood that seeped from the wound was even redder than normal blood.

The poison of the Enchanting Demon, hidden most dreadfully within the little finger, could infect even the Dragon Clan, whose life force was immensely powerful and terrifying. Once infected, without the antidote, even they could not last long,

even with just a minor wound.

Yet, Ning Feiyan’s expression gradually grew solemn.

Because she saw the young man casually wiping the blood from his cheek, the color of the blood seeping from the wound growing deeper until it looked like black blood.

The shockingly dark color made her heart tremble.

She watched him incredulously, wondering when such a young boy had ingested the forbidden Heart Burning Fruit.

The Heart Burning Fruit, a product of the Demon Tree from the nine abysses, could incinerate the dual hearts, refining one heart into bone.

Consuming this fruit would cause one to endure the agony of fierce fire scorching the heart, ultimately refining a Pure Heart and a Demon Heart. The Pure Heart cultivates an Immortal Bone that is indestructible; even if a hundred thousand Heavenly Demons offered a sacrifice to turn into a supreme Heart Demon, they could not draw a person possessing the Pure Heart into the Infinite Demon Path.

The Demon Heart nourishes a black bone. Once the black bone forms, one is eternally damned, a black curse clinging until death.

The Heart Burning Fruit was too cruel; even the former Demon Lord would not dare to try it easily, and even the Demon Tree was destroyed by him. How then had this young man acquired the black bone?

Ning Feiyan lunged forward, placing a palm against Baili An’s chest and pressing him against the wall. Her palm emitted a profound light and after a sensing attempt, she exclaimed in shock, “There’s not even half a Pure Heart?”

This was utterly inconceivable!

Once the black-boned body fully matures, falling into the Demon Path was unquestionable, yet the Demon Path still retains its own nature with distinctions between good and evil.

But if the body of black bone lacked the Pure Heart to stabilize it, it would completely degenerate into a monster governed by the grudges of slaughter.

Yet this young man was clearly not like that.

So… where did this body of black bone come from?

The more Ning Feiyan thought about it, the more shocking it seemed; she felt as if she had touched upon a secret that even the world could not explain.

Liu River, corpse demon, black bone…

How many secrets did he still hide?

She increasingly wanted to take him back for a thorough investigation.

Ning Feiyan’s eyes flickered, and she looked up at Baili An, “I am becoming increasingly curious to take you back to the Demon World, the black bone in you, is very intriguing indeed.”

When she mentioned the word ‘Demon World,’ the hand pressed against his chest felt suddenly cold as he abruptly grasped her wrist tightly.

“Black bone?” Baili An’s eyelashes drooped, covering his eyes, apparently somewhat nonchalant, “There is such a matter.”

Ning Feiyan’s eyebrows raised with interest, but before she could hear his response, the icy hand clutching her wrist suddenly condensed a terrifying Azure Dragon Sword Energy, which surged into her body.

Although her face was smiling and her body was on high alert, when the Azure Dragon Sword Energy surged, Purple Butterflies blossomed brilliantly around her, sparkling like a burst of flowers; both forces intertwined, shattering the butterflies.

Ning Feiyan felt the Qi Sea in her meridians nearly torn apart by that immense Sword Energy, the pain was identical to being pierced by thousands of arrows, causing damage to her soul.

Her knees buckled, and she knelt on the cushion, her complexion instantly pale as frost.

Just a moment ago, he was merely a corpse demon at the Sea Expansion Realm whom she could casually handle, but what was this overwhelming power now?

Ning Feiyan’s vision darkened in waves, the Spiritual Power within her body tightly controlled, unable to mobilize even a bit.

Her wrist was still firmly grasped in Baili An’s hand, he looked down at her from above, his pupils deep and inscrutable, overlaying an oppressive chill, and uttered chillingly, “Rebel.”

Ning Feiyan felt as if her wrist might snap from the pain, her cold sweat was profuse, yet she merely furrowed her brow slightly.

Rebel?

Who did he think she was?

She lifted her head to look into the deep, ink-black of the young man’s eyes.

At this moment, it seemed… his memory and mind were confused.

But if her senses were not wrong, the Azure Dragon Sword Energy from his fingertips just now should be the Supreme Dao Pure Sword Technique of the Xijian Sect.

A corpse demon awakened from darkness, inheriting the power of Liu River, and even had such a deep connection with the Xijian Sect.

It was even more baffling as he, without a sword, could wield Azure Dragon Sword Qi; his mastery of the Supreme Dao Pure Sword Technique was even far superior to the current Sword Master.

Why had she never heard of such a person appearing on the Tianyao Continent?

Ning Feiyan faintly harbored some killing intent; such a strange existence had already exceeded her control.

Not only was he difficult to turn into a usable weapon in her hands, but he was also very likely to cut her own palm.

She sighed lightly, “It’s a pity, although I’m extremely interested in you, judging by the current situation, I can only sacrifice you.”

Fire ignited in Ning Feiyan’s eyes, burning more intensely; her expression was calm and peaceful, yet her delicate controlled wrist suddenly twisted stubbornly and broke, her hand contorting in an abnormal posture. Utilizing some unknown Secret Technique, she instantly broke free from Baili An’s restraint.
