Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Filial Aura_1

"Kid, don’t talk to me about that nonsense. Didn’t you absorb my Evil Qi yesterday and ruin my plans? Today I want to see what you’re really made of. Kid, taste the power of my Filial Aura!"

The Taoist priest sneered, pulling a cylindrical jade artifact from his sleeve and brandishing it in the air, as a thick shadow abruptly burst forth from the jade.

As it turned out, he had been hiding the jade artifact in his sleeve the whole time, which enabled him to cast the shadow with a wave of his hand.

"A Netherworld Device?"

Ning Fan, seeing the cylindrical jade artifact, instantly narrowed his eyes.

A so-called Netherworld Device is jade buried underground with the dead for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Over the long years, if the deceased died unjustly, their resentment would slowly form Evil Qi within the buried Netherworld Device!

The small amount of Evil Qi Ning Fan caught from Yuan Haili’s son the day before was just that—a tiny bit of Evil Qi.

But now, the Taoist priest was releasing a mass of Evil Qi that was several times larger than what Ning Fan had encountered yesterday!

As the priest released this mass of Evil Qi, Ning Fan actually felt that the small amount of Evil Qi he had absorbed the day before, contained within the Jade ring on his hand, started to become restless.

"Hehe, kid, you absorbed my Filial Evil Qi yesterday, right? Hehe, just perfect, let me show you the beauty of this Filial Aura! Kid, I’m about to drain your life force dry and turn you into a mummified corpse!"

The Taoist chuckled grimly, making a strange gesture with his hand.

Immediately after, the thick shadow he released from the cylindrical jade started rolling in place.

As the shadow tumbled, Ning Fan could sense that the small Evil Qi within the Jade ring on his hand was becoming even more violently agitated, as if it wanted to break free from the ring and absorb his life force.

Ning Fan had examined the small Evil Qi the night before and found that it could absorb a person’s life force and seemed capable of transferring life force outward as well.

At the time, Ning Fan was somewhat puzzled.

But now, seeing the Taoist priest’s denser mass of Evil Qi, he understood.

These two masses of Evil Qi, as the priest had said, were known as Filial Aura. They could not only absorb a person’s life force but also transfer it from the Filial Evil Qi to the Maternal Evil Qi.

If Ning Fan hadn’t intervened yesterday, then this Filial Evil Qi would have drained Li Wanshan’s life force and then transferred it to the motherly mass of Evil Qi on the Taoist priest!

However evil these Filial and Maternal Evil Qi could be, the Spiritual Power inside Ning Fan was their natural nemesis!

"Hmph, still putting up a fight? You really think I can’t completely annihilate you?"

Having realized all this, Ning Fan snorted coldly, sending his Spiritual Power rushing towards the Jade ring. He instantly subdued the small Evil Qi within.

"Huh? Kid, where exactly did you hide my Filial Evil Qi?"

Seeing no sign of the Filial Evil Qi on Ning Fan, the Taoist priest immediately voiced his confusion.

"If you’re counting on that Filial Evil Qi from yesterday to deal with me, you’re going to be disappointed," Ning Fan said flatly.

"Kid! Even without the Filial Evil Qi, I can easily take your life!"

The Taoist priest spoke viciously and pointed a finger at Ning Fan.

Whoosh!

The Maternal Evil Qi lunged at Ning Fan ferociously, with claws bared as if it were a devil incarnate.

"Ning Fan, be careful!" Xu Yourong shouted in alarm.

However, Ning Fan remained unfazed and, facing the Maternal Evil Qi, reached out his hand. Spiritual Power formed a faintly visible membrane of light on the surface of his palm, and then he abruptly grabbed at the Evil Qi.

Hiss—

The moment Ning Fan’s hand touched the Maternal Evil Qi, it was as if a red-hot iron had been placed on snow, the Evil Qi immediately began to melt away violently.

Hiss hiss hiss!!

The Maternal Evil Qi screamed madly and wildly shifted shapes, charging left and right in an attempt to break free.

Ning Fan, of course, had no intention of letting go; the light of his Spiritual Power shone even brighter, gripping the Maternal Evil Qi firmly and continuously melting it down!

Hiss hiss hiss hiss!!!

The Maternal Evil Qi howled again in fury. Unable to break free, it crazily split itself into two parts. Ning Fan held one part in his hand while the other half shot off in another direction, attempting to escape.

The direction in which the half of Evil Qi fled was exactly where Xu Yourong was standing.

"Miss, watch out!"

Qiu Li cried out in alarm, shielding Xu Yourong.

Swish!

The Maternal Evil Qi instantly enveloped Qiu Li, rapidly draining her life force. Its body, which had shrunk by nearly half, suddenly started to expand again.

"Ah..."

Qiu Li immediately felt weak and powerless, unable to resist.

"Ning Fan, save Qiu Li!"

Xu Yourong was terrified, her face drained of color.

"Miss Xu, step back."

Ning Fan first absorbed the half of the Maternal Evil Qi he held into the Jade ring, then he dashed forward in two strides to Qiu Li’s side, reaching for her face with one hand.

Hiss hiss hiss...

Amidst the hissing, Ning Fan slowly pulled the remaining half of the Maternal Evil Qi that was enveloping Qiu Li.

This half of the Evil Qi writhed in Ning Fan’s grip like a desperately struggling fish.

"Get in there!"

Ning Fan commanded coldly, his Spiritual Power bursting forth violently, and he too absorbed this half of the Maternal Evil Qi into the Jade ring.

"Qiu Li, are you alright?" Xu Yourong rushed forward to help Qiu Li up.

"I’m okay... thank you, Mr. Ning..." Qiu Li said, her expression complex, expressing her gratitude to Ning Fan.

Meanwhile, the Taoist priest, Yuan Haili, as well as Li Wanshan and Xu Yan, all stood by, utterly dumbfounded.

The formidable mass of Maternal Evil Qi, several times larger than the Evil Qi encountered yesterday and having floored dozens of bodyguards, had just been so effortlessly collected by Ning Fan?

Where had it been taken?

"You... you... what Magic Artifact is that..."

The Taoist priest gazed shockingly at the Jade ring on Ning Fan’s finger.
