Chapter 1119: Chapter 1119: The Bold and the Skilled

The crevice closed as soon as it opened, fast like a stream cleaved apart, swiftly following the footsteps of Ning Fan and the others.

Feeling the relentless tide of resentment closely pursuing them, both Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng and Huang Gu felt their hearts jumping to their throats.

The tide was less than three meters away from them, and at this pace, if they missed a step, both would certainly be engulfed.

"Sect Master is really too daring."

"Perhaps, this is what they call ’the braver the artist...’"

Ning Fan and the Man in the Black Mist led the charge at the forefront, working together to break through the tide of resentful entities, rapidly approaching the center of the passage.

Ahead, countless resentful entities spiraled and danced around, and looking around it seemed as if the world was filled only with endless resentful entities.

Just as Ning Fan was about to muster his strength to surge forward, the Man in the Black Mist suddenly cried out, "Watch out!"

His voice carried an indescribable terror.

A strong sense of crisis surged in Ning Fan’s heart.

He did not hesitate for a moment, the power within his body poured out without reservation, while his formidable spiritual power surged forth, forming dozens of shields in front of him.

Just then, a resentful entity, as tangible as reality, abruptly appeared before him.

This resentful entity was completely different from the others; its usually semi-transparent body now fully solidified.

Its skin was as black as if it had been coated in ink, and intricate patterns swirled around its form, looking extremely sinister.

The moment this resentful entity appeared, it launched an attack on Ning Fan and the others.

With a swing of its fist, a violent force burst forth like a tsunami.

The shields of spiritual power Ning Fan had condensed shattered instantly, scattering back into pure spiritual power.

Before he could react, the punch had already struck him.

"Thud!"

With a muffled sound, Ning Fan was sent flying backward, his spiritual power dissipating in mid-air.

While still in the air, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura severely weakened.

"Damn it! It’s a Resentful Deity, do not approach it!"

The Man in the Black Mist yelled, simultaneously spreading the black mist around his body in an attempt to help Huang Gu and Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng hide.

Ning Fan forcefully controlled his body and landed steadily on the ground.

He looked up at the Resentful Deity before him, his eyes filled with undeniable shock.

The strength of the Resentful Deity was overwhelming!

He had thought that, in terms of the realms within Kunlun, the Resentful Deity’s strength would at most be at the Pseudo-Dan Realm.

He had absorbed so many Resentful Spirit Elixirs before, and his strength had significantly improved.

Even if he was not a match, at least he should have been able to hold off the Resentful Deity, allowing Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng and Huang Gu to escape first.

But the current situation was completely beyond his expectations.

The power of the Resentful Deity far exceeded the Pseudo-Dan Realm, reaching a level he himself could not comprehend.

That was his own full-strength defense setup, and even in the Pseudo-Dan Realm, it should not have been possible to break it with a single strike.

But the Resentful Deity did!

"Is this the Resentful Deity whose strength you said wasn’t that strong?" Ning Fan turned to the Man in the Black Mist.

The Man in the Black Mist had also emerged from the black mist, his gaze extremely somber.

Upon hearing Ning Fan’s words, he bit his teeth hard, "If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the newly born Resentful Deity."

On hearing this, Ning Fan instantly realized why the strength of this Resentful Deity was so formidable.

"I’ll draw its attention. You guys push through."

Without another word, Ning Fan drew his sword and charged at the Resentful Deity, engaging it in combat.

In the field, he was the only one capable of battling this Resentful Deity. Although the Man in the Black Mist was also strong, it wasn’t his place to direct him.

They were merely allies for now, and whether the Man in the Black Mist was willing to listen to him was uncertain, let alone ask him to undertake what seemed like a suicidal task.

The Resentful Deity was too powerful; anyone facing it would feel overwhelmed.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

The deep booming sound echoed, and invisible shockwaves spread one after another.

These seemingly harmless shockwaves shattered any resentful entities they touched instantly.

Even the collective resentment that had overwhelmed Huang Gu and Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng offered no resistance and was completely obliterated by this wave.

Such was the power of the Resentful Deity, and so was the power of Ning Fan.

Their clash was enough to annihilate any resentful entities caught in the crossfire.

"Go."

The Man in the Black Mist took advantage of Ning Fan battling the Resentful Deity, and after hesitating for a moment, used his black mist to envelop Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng and Huang Gu, leading them towards the passage entrance.

Throughout their journey, their cooperation had gradually changed the Man in the Black Mist’s attitude towards Ning Fan.

Rather than wanting to consume Ning Fan as he initially intended, he now found it a better option to become friends with him.

He had now saved these two burdens; if Ning Fan survived, then he’d owe him a huge favor.

If he didn’t survive, then consider it a merciful act by him to have saved them incidentally.

Just as the Man in the Black Mist was about to charge into the passage entrance, a pitch-black figure suddenly appeared before him - it was the Resentful Deity who had just been fighting with Ning Fan.

His face twisted fiercely, and his crimson eyes flickered with intense greed and murderous intent.

"This is bad, he sees us as his prey."

The Man in the Black Mist was all too familiar with that look, instantly deducing the Resentful Deity’s intention.
