Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: A Familiar Scent

Boom!

Deafening roars exploded anew as Ning Fan collided fiercely with the Black Qi Giant.

Compared to the colossal form of the Black Qi Giant, Ning Fan’s figure was minuscule, resembling a moth circling around it.

But relying on his formidable Spiritual Power, every strike he delivered dispersed some of the black qi on the giant’s body.

"Strange, there seems to be something inside this black qi?"

Ning Fan frowned, puzzled.

Previously, when he struck out with his palm and scattered the black qi, he had vaguely seen a glimmer of light flash through it.

From that glimmer, he felt a familiar presence.

But before he could investigate further, the light disappeared, concealed once more by the surging black qi around.

"Bang!"

While he was distracted, the Black Qi Giant landed a heavy punch on him.

Ning Fan felt as if he had been hit by a mountain, the violent vibrations dispersing nearly all the Spiritual Energy in his body.

Swoosh!

He was hammered into the ground like a shooting star, crashing fiercely to the surface, and creating a huge crater right in front of Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng and Huang Gu.

"Sect Master, are you alright?"

"Sect Master!"

Both were startled and hurried over to check on him.

"Cough cough... I’m okay."

Ning Fan brushed off the dust around him and climbed out of the crater, covered in dirt and grime.

He was bruised all over, with a trickle of fresh blood at the corner of his mouth, looking quite a mess.

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng had no reaction; however, Huang Gu’s face was filled with surprise.

It was the first time he had seen Ning Fan, who could hold his own against four Sect Masters, at a disadvantage against this Black Qi Giant.

He couldn’t help but express his worry, "Sect Master, this creature is too formidable. Perhaps we should retreat and plan for the long term?"

"No, there’s something inside." Ning Fan shook his head, "I want to see what it is."

"There’s something inside?"

Huang Gu and Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng exchanged glances, then looked up at the Black Qi Giant towering a hundred zhang tall, a chill arising in their hearts.

Just standing in front of this Black Qi Giant, they could already feel an overwhelming pressure, and Ning Fan actually wanted to break through and force his way in?

"Sect Master... truly a man of great talent and courage," Huang Gu said with a wry smile.

Following this, Ning Fan made arrangements for the two, leading them in a flight, evading the Black Qi Giant’s pursuit.

Twenty minutes later, Ning Fan stopped to catch his breath and turned to look back at the two.

"Are you ready?"

By this time, they had taken an Elixir, and their Spiritual Power surged powerfully within, their cultivation closing in on the Foundation Establishment Peak.

"Rest assured, Sect Master, leave it to us!" Huang Gu’s confidence soared, feeling the powerful Spiritual Power within.

The experienced Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng simply nodded, "Please rest assured, Sect Master, we’ll do our utmost to buy you time."

The three then ceased running and turned to face what was behind them.

The Black Qi Giant stood about ten zhang away from them, and at this distance, it completely blocked out the sky and their entire field of vision.

The oppressive force that bore down on them instantly crushed the confidence that Huang Gu had just started to feel.

"Sect Master, maybe we should reconsider... this thing is really not that easy to deal with..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Fan suddenly dashed out, "Follow me!"

Without a second word, Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng stirred his Spiritual Power and rushed after Ning Fan.

Huang Gu, reluctant as he was, had no choice but to stiffen his resolve and keep pace.

As the three approached, the oppressive sensation from the Black Qi Giant grew even more intense.

Ning Fan was coping well, but Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng and Huang Gu began to feel their Spiritual Power sluggish as they sensed this aura.

When they reached the foot of the Black Qi Giant, they felt an icy chill, and at the same time, a fierce bloodthirsty killing intent surged from within their hearts.

"Sect Master... I feel so strange."

"Yes, I’m having trouble controlling the flow of Spiritual Power in my body..."

Despite their discomfort, the two strived to suppress their bloodthirsty desires.

"This black qi will trigger the power within you, keep a calm mind, and don’t let it take control."

Ning Fan charged in front of the Black Qi Giant, kicked off forcefully a few times against the giant’s body, and reached its head.

The Jadestone Mini-sword slid into his palm, and a powerful force surged out, with a great number of Sword Qi beams condensing on the sword.

Taking a deep breath, Ning Fan raised his arms high, lifting the Jadestone Mini-sword wrapped in Sword Qi, aiming downward.

The Black Qi Giant, sensing Ning Fan on its head, began to shake its tremendous body, its large palms constantly swiping at its head.

However, Ning Fan was much too agile for it, so the Black Qi Giant couldn’t catch him at all.

"Get up here!"

Ning Fan let out a thunderous roar as Huang Gu and Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng leaped onto the Black Qi Giant’s head, just in time to take their positions at its sides.

"Break it open for me!"

The Spirit Short Sword, filled with vigorous Sword Qi, mercilessly struck down on the crown of the Black Qi Giant.

Rip!

Accompanied by a clear tearing sound, a massive wound appeared on the top of the Black Qi Giant’s head.

Peering through, Ning Fan could clearly see a glimmer of light within the center of the giant, blinking rapidly.

In just a moment’s glance, the surrounding black qi began to contract.

"Hold it open, give me a moment."

Ning Fan inhaled deeply as the Spiritual Power within him surged forth, enveloping his entire body.
