586. Chapter 586 Nalan Yanran's Principles (1/2)
A month ago, Nalan Yanran left the Glacier Valley and accidentally broke into this place with a seriously injured body, and happened to meet Xiong Zhan who was patrolling the mountain.
At that time, Xiong Zhan felt the murderous aura of Nalan Yanran, and the instinct of the demon beast tempted him to fight with Nalan Yanran. Nalan Yanran also dragged her body without hesitation to fight Xiong Zhan, a three-star Dou Zun.
Although Xiong Zhan took the initiative to attack because of the murderous aura emanating from Nalan Yanran, in his eyes, Nalan Yanran was just a three-star Dou Zong, and was seriously injured. He should be able to kill her easily, so Xiong Zhan did not use his full strength at the beginning.
However, Xiong Zhan soon regretted that he underestimated the enemy.
This human woman in front of him really couldn't be killed no matter how hard he tried. Even if her head was smashed, she could recover in the blink of an eye. Every time she recovered, her strength became stronger. She was simply a monster!
Xiong Zhan also realized that if he didn't completely eliminate Nalan Yanran at once, it would be endless, so he gathered the fighting spirit in his body while fighting with Nalan Yanran and launched his most powerful attack.
Then, the irrational Nalan Yanran dodged.
Dodged? ! What a joke? ! ! You didn't dodge my attacks so many times before, but you learned to dodge this time? !
Xiong Zhan soon understood that Nalan Yanran didn't dodge before because her instinct didn't feel the threat to her life. This time she dodged, which proved that her instinct did feel the fatal danger of her strongest attack.
After learning this, Xiong Zhan was not happy, but even more distressed.
He himself was not good at speed, and it could even be said that speed was his weakness. In addition, Nalan Yanran's strength was increased by serious injuries. Even if the levels of the two were far apart, it was not difficult for Nalan Yanran to dodge his strongest attack that needed to be charged to launch.
No matter how strong the attack was, it was meaningless as long as it didn't hit anyone.
Then the question came. He could not kill Nalan Yanran without using all his strength. He could not hit Nalan Yanran even if he used all his strength. Nalan Yanran showed no signs of exhaustion. Xiong Zhan even suspected that he might be at a disadvantage if he spent more energy!
At this point, Xiong Zhan's only way out was to discuss a truce with Nalan Yanran. However, Nalan Yanran, who was seriously injured to the point of dying, had become irrational due to the effect of the blood madness of the technique and could not listen to others at all.
While Xiong Zhan was getting angry, he also keenly felt that the reason why Nalan Yanran was irrational was because of her serious injuries.
In other words, if her injuries were allowed to recover, there would be a possibility of a truce.
However, Xiong Zhan was not an alchemist and did not have any pills to recover his injuries. Ordinary medicinal materials were simply a drop in the bucket for Nalan Yanran's injuries and were of no use at all.
After thinking for a long time, Xiong Zhan gritted his teeth and took out the only treasure that he had kept until now and had not been willing to eat.
The Wanling Dragon's Amber Fruit is usually buried deep under the mountains where many medicinal herbs grow. The fruit contains the essence of hundreds of medicinal herbs. Basically, any medicinal herbs that the alchemist lacks when refining pills can be replaced by the Wanling Dragon's Amber Fruit. It can be said to be a universal medicinal herb. Because the fragrance of the fruit makes the giant dragons in ancient times salivate, it is named the Wanling Dragon's Amber Fruit.
As for eating it directly, no alchemist has tried it yet. After all, it is too wasteful to eat such a rare treasure directly.
Xiong Zhan is not very clear about the specific value of the Wanling Dragon's Amber Fruit, but he knows that this fruit can only be obtained once a hundred years. After eating it, it will immediately completely recover from his injuries and greatly improve the user's fighting spirit and physique.
Xiong Zhan has been in the Wanyao Mountain Range for nearly two hundred years. The Wanling Dragon's Amber Fruit in his hand is only the second one. The first one was taken a hundred years ago when Xiong Zhan encountered a life-and-death crisis.
Although this fruit can't improve Xiong Zhan's strength much at his current level, it is at least a wild elixir that can completely heal injuries.
However, Xiong Zhan's intuition told him that if he didn't let Nalan Yanran recover her sanity and negotiate a ceasefire, it would be useless even if he ate this Wanling Dragon's Amber Fruit, and he would still be exhausted to death by Nalan Yanran.
In the end, Xiong Zhan, with a painful mentality of being extremely reluctant, raised his hand to shake off Nalan Yanran's attack, and when Nalan Yanran didn't have time to adjust her body shape, he saw the opportunity to throw the Wanling Dragon's Amber Fruit into Nalan Yanran's mouth, and Nalan Yanran instinctively swallowed it directly.
Afterwards, with the help of the Wanling Dragon's Amber Fruit, Nalan Yanran jumped from a three-star Dou Zong to a five-star Dou Zong on the spot, and her injuries recovered as before, and her sanity returned, and finally stopped the life-and-death battle with Xiong Zhan.
After a period of time, Nalan Yanran stayed here to practice. Xiong Zhan had no objection to this. First, he really couldn't kill Nalan Yanran. Second, he was bored staying alone in the Wanyao Mountain Range. Nalan Yanran occasionally fought with him to kill time.
"Brother Xiong Zhan, thank you for the herbs."
Nalan Yanran walked out of the cave with a refreshing smile on her face. She walked towards Xiong Zhan to thank him, and Xiong Zhan waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Alas, there is no need to thank you. Those herbs are nothing. They are not even worth a fraction of the Wanling Dragon's Saliva Fruit."
Xiong Zhan's tone was full of resentment. One fruit that only appeared once every hundred years was consumed just like that, and he didn't eat it himself. Xiong Zhan was extremely depressed.
Nalan Yanran also knew very well how precious the All Souls Ambergris Fruit was, and scratched her face in embarrassment.
"Sorry, I will make it up to you with other things in the future."
"That's all. In the final analysis, I was the one who made the move first, so let's just consider it as the price to pay." Xiong Zhan raised his hand and scratched his rough hair, and looked at Nalan Yanran helplessly, "All the humans outside are you. This kind of monster?"
A Douzong-level monster like me could be overwhelmed by a Douzong-level human being. No one would believe him if he told me.
"No, I'm just a special case." Nalan Yanran narrowed her eyes slightly, smiled and shrugged, "I was able to fight you to that point that day because of my self-created Kung Fu."
As Nalan Yanran said something, she suddenly thought of something and spoke to Xiong Zhan.
"By the way, how about I give my skills to you? Just think of it as making up for the loss of the All Souls Ambergris Fruit."
"Your Kung Fu? The one that gets stronger the more you're injured?"
Xiong Zhan asked, Nalan Yanran nodded heavily, and then Xiong Zhan shook his head without hesitation.
"No, no! Your technique is too terrifying. I lived for hundreds of years before I was born with wisdom. I don't want to become an irrational monster again."
There was a look of horror on Xiong Zhan's face, and it could be seen that he was quite resistant to losing his mind.
If powerful power comes from reason, then he would rather not have it.
"Well, you don't have to be so afraid. Only serious injuries will cause you to lose your mind, and even if you lose your mind, you can control whether to stop."
Nalan Yanran weakly opened her mouth to justify her self-created technique, but was stopped by Xiong Zhan's rhetorical question.
"That's your own personal situation. Can you guarantee that other people can be the same as you?"
"Forehead"
Nalan Yanran was speechless, Xiong Zhan continued.
"You can decide whether to stop practicing this technique, but others may not. If you can't stop, then the person who practices this technique will most likely become a bloodthirsty monster permanently. I don't think so. Will take this risk."
Nalan Yanran could not refute Xiong Zhan's words.
Indeed, currently the only one who practices this technique is himself, the creator, and others may not be able to control it as freely as himself.
Before, Nalan Yanran didn't care about this self-created technique, and even had the idea of exchanging the crazy blood for other things. Now it seems that this technique really cannot be given to others casually, in case a few are raised. The monster who is immortal and unable to communicate is his own fault.
At this moment, Nalan Yanran suddenly felt some fighting energy fluctuations outside the mountain range. She turned her eyes leisurely and frowned slightly.
There is more than one Douzong level. Xiong Zhan also felt the fighting spirit, with a clear expression on his face.
"Ah, it's that time again."
"Brother Xiong Zhan, what's happening at this time?"
Nalan Yanran asked with a puzzled look on her face, and Xiong Zhan raised his hand lightly to answer.
"The Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain Range is actually surrounded by the medicine garden of the Dan Pagoda. There is a space prohibition on the outside. People are not usually allowed in. Only during the annual Dan Meeting will contestants come in through the space portal." As he spoke, Xiong Zhan suddenly froze and looked at Nalan Yanran in astonishment, "Speaking of which, how did you get in at that time?"
"Ah? Ah, I was seriously injured at the time, and I can't remember clearly." Nalan Yanran lightly scratched her face and recalled with some difficulty, "Speaking of it, I did encounter obstacles when I came in, but it seems that I used The hand was opened."
"."
Xiong Zhan's eyes jumped when he heard it. After all, it was a space restriction set by the Dou Zun level. Why did you describe it like lifting a curtain? Are you still a Douzong?
"How long are those people going to be here?"
Nalan Yanran asked again, and Xiong Zhan came back to his senses and answered softly.
"It will take about ten days, probably. During this period, I will try to avoid them as much as possible to avoid getting into any trouble."
These contestants are nothing. The Danta behind them is not easy to mess with. He is just a three-star Dou Zun, and Xiong Zhan is still very self-aware.
"Ten days?"
Nalan Yanran frowned. Speaking of Xiao Yan, he was also an alchemist. Could he be among those people?
Just as Nalan Yanran was thinking, a man shrouded in black robes suddenly appeared here. Nalan Yanran and Xiong Zhan instantly tensed up physically and mentally, staring at the visitor.
The other party's appearance was obscured by the black robe, but the aura exuding from his body was instinctively disgusting.
"who are you?!"
Nalan Yanran asked coldly, but the man in black robe did not answer. He just took out a portrait from his black robe, checked it against Nalan Yanran, put the portrait away, and asked in a deep voice.
"Are you Nalan Yanran?"
It's for myself
Nalan Yanran immediately came up with the answer in her heart and took a step forward to respond.
"It's me, is something wrong?"
"I have a commission here, and the reward is quite generous. Are you interested?"
The voice of the man in black robe was eerie and creepy, making Nalan Yanran frown in discomfort.
"What commission?"
"Hunting those contestants of the Dan Club." The man in black robe raised his hand and smiled sadly, "Don't worry, we also have a lot of people here, we won't let you fight alone."
"Of course, the reward will not disappoint you, two eighth-grade coins."
Before the man in black robe finished talking about the reward, Nalan Yanran coldly refused.
"I won't do it." Nalan Yanran stared at the black-robed man coldly, "I won't accept such a commission."
Since Nalan Yanran came to Zhongzhou for training, she has indeed killed many people, but she will never do such a thing as being hired to kill.
The other person didn't bother her, but she wanted to take his life for money?
It was natural in the ruins. Besides, she gave the other party the opportunity to turn around and leave. Afterwards, she didn't take the things by relying on her strength. She only took what she needed. As for those who came to trouble her outside the ruins, they had their own faults.
In this regard, Nalan Yanran felt at ease and had a clear conscience.
But accepting money to kill people is another matter. If she really did that, she would never have the face to return to the Nalan family, nor would she have the face to face Xiao Yan again. Nalan Yanran would never do such a matter of principle.
The black-robed man didn't expect Nalan Yanran to refuse so decisively, and his tone became even colder.
"You'd better think it over. I, Soul Palace, am here to trade with you because I think highly of you. Don't be ungrateful."
"I don't care what Soul Palace or Spiritual Palace you are. If I say I won't accept it, I won't accept it." A red light flashed, and the scarlet sword was grasped in Nalan Yanran's hand. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a trace of murderous intent in her eyes. "If you insist on forcing the sale, I don't mind fighting with you."
Looking at Nalan Yanran in front of him, who was ready to fight to the death in order not to accept his commission to hire a killer, the expression under the black-robed man's cloak could not help but twist.
Is there something wrong with this woman's brain?
"Hmph!" The black-robed man swung his sleeves fiercely, and his tone was very unfriendly. "Forget it, I don't have time to waste time with you today. I'll remember this."
After saying that, the black-robed man turned around and was about to leave, still muttering in his heart.
What on earth are the people above thinking? Suddenly asked me to find this Nalan Yanran to assist in this operation. Is this necessary?
At this moment, Nalan Yanran's voice with a little realization in doubt suddenly sounded behind him.
"Wait. Soul Palace?"
This sentence made the black-robed man stop in his tracks. Hearing this tone, he thought that the reason why Nalan Yanran rejected him harshly just now was because she didn't remember the reputation of the Soul Palace for a moment.
Thinking this in his heart, the black-robed man was very proud.
Forgive you for being so tough just now, but if you remember the reputation of my Soul Palace, won't you still have to give in?
The black-robed man's mouth slightly raised, and he slowly turned around.
"Change your mind? Then I will be merciful and let bygones be bygones."
"Open the sky!!!"
The black-robed man stopped talking abruptly, looking at the blood-red long sword that was slashing towards him in astonishment. The fierce might seemed to split him in two.
At the same time, Nalan Yanran's extremely fierce eyes that made people feel cold in their bones came into view! (End of this chapter)
