Chapter 422: Chapter 421: What Can You Do to Me?

Luo Ning was capable of mobilizing the evil spirit of the Yanyue Blade, which surprised everyone present.

Sikong Wei and Lei Qiu saw that Luo Ning’s claims were so bold and matter-of-fact as if mobilizing the evil spirit of the Yanyue Blade was not a big deal.

Both of them also harbored some doubts. Could it be that the evil spirit of the Yanyue Blade could actually be mobilized by anyone?

Everyone had always thought that since the Yanyue Blade was the Luo Family’s treasured artifact, only the Luo Family could use it.

Thus, Sikong Wei and Lei Qiu also secretly formed talismans with their fingers, wanting to attract the Yanyue Blade’s evil spirit to give it a try.

Right when they tried to mobilize the evil spirit, they felt a bone-chilling coldness encroaching upon them.

Sikong Wei, being much stronger than Lei Qiu, immediately cut off his connection with the Yanyue Blade.

As a result, the evil spirit that corroded his body was minimal and he resolved it in time without leaving any lingering effects.

Lei Qiu was far less fortunate. His strength was mediocre, yet he curiously tried to communicate with the evil spirit of the Yanyue Blade.

By the time he realized something was wrong, a good deal of evil spirit had already infiltrated his body.

"Ah, it hurts!" Now, wanting to retreat was difficult. Not only did he feel an icy chill, but there was also a burning sting, and he couldn’t help but cry out.

Upon seeing this, Luo Ning immediately raised her hand and patted his back a few times, forcibly breaking his communication with the Yanyue Blade.

She said irritably, "You really have some nerve. I can mobilize the evil spirit of the Yanyue Blade because I have the strength to withstand it. You with your weak constitution were simply seeking death."

Then she gave him a talisman, "Carry this on you, it can dissolve the evil spirit that has eroded your body."

Lei Qiu hurriedly took the talisman and placed it against his chest, indeed feeling less cold and the burning less acute.

"I thought it was easy when I heard you mention it, thinking anyone could do it. I’ll never do such a foolish thing again," he was on the verge of tears.

Luo Ning was both amused and exasperated, "Good that you understand."

Everyone, seeing Lei Qiu’s misfortune, also understood. This thing was truly not something anyone could touch; Luo Ning was an exception.

Luo Ning looked towards the elder and asked, "Shall we continue the battle?"

The elder’s expression changed uncertainly and, instead of answering, he countered with a question, "Why have you touched the threshold of that realm so quickly?"

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "My relationship with your Luo Family isn’t good, so why should I tell you?"

"You!" The elder was speechless.

At this point, he truly wanted to capture Luo Ning and bring her back. It was no longer about a severe punishment but rather about wanting to know how she had reached that realm.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a miserable scream from Elder Luo Jiu reached them.

The elder looked over to see Ninth Elder swept by the Snake King’s tail. The man was thrown high into the air before crashing heavily onto the deck, constantly spitting out blood.

Although Ninth Elder could borrow the evil spirit of the Yanyue Blade for combat during the battle, his physical condition was far inferior to the Snake King’s.

Seized by an opportunity, the Snake King’s strike caused the Ninth Elder’s internal organs to bleed heavily from injury.

While coughing up blood, Ninth Elder said, "Clan elders, I can’t hold on any longer."

If he could have revealed two more talismans, he would definitely have been able to completely entangle the Snake King, even gaining the upper hand.

But his strength was not sufficient to reveal two more talismans; even just one more would have been too much for his body to bear the evil spirit’s erosion.

The clan elders saw the Snake King attacking the boat again, trying to overturn it.

He personally took action, mobilizing the evil spirit of the Yanyue Blade to resist.

He also realized Ninth Elder’s difficulty. The Snake King, once enraged, was indeed too difficult to deal with. The key was that it was also very clever, knowing how to avoid the evil spirit’s attack and make sneak attacks.

He cast a deep glance at Luo Ning, and reluctantly commanded, "Retreat!"

Ninth Elder was also unwilling, "Clan elder, are we just going to let Luo Ning go like this?"

The clan elder, with a grave face, said, "If you can capture her, then go ahead. I’m no match for her now."

Unless several of their old men joined hands, there would be hope of bringing Luo Ning back today.

Unfortunately, only he had come today. Even if the others were summoned now, there wasn’t enough time.

Ninth Elder knew what the clan elders said was true, but why did it feel so suffocating?

Both he and the clan elders had sustained injuries, his being even more severe. He would need at least half a year of recuperation upon returning home.

It would have been worth it if they had managed to capture Luo Ning, but now they were forced to retreat in defeat, which was unbearable.

Yet there was no other option but to grit his teeth and shout to the one steering the ship, "Retreat back to our clan’s territory."

The person steering immediately sprang into action.

While battling the Snake King, a clan elder said to Luo Ning, "You may go."

This signified they were no longer interested in capturing her.

Luo Ning snorted with laughter, "You tell me to stay, I’ll stay; you tell me to go, I’ll go—it would make me lose face."

"I am the winner right now, so I need a trophy for my victory."

Elder Luo Jiu, clutching his chest, stood up and scoffed, "Don’t get greedy."

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "I will be greedy, what can you do about it?"

"If you don’t want to leave, then let’s continue the battle."

The clan elder furrowed his brow, "What do you want?"

He had heard plenty about Luo Ning, this girl was adept at shearing sheep.

It seemed today they could not leave without bleeding a little.

The clan elder was a wise man; knowing that they couldn’t capture the target, there was no point in making pointless sacrifices.

Luo Ning laughed lightly, "The clan elder is indeed sensible."

She pointed to the Yanyue Blade on the wooden frame, "Then that will do."

Seeing that Luo Ning actually wanted the Yanyue Blade, both the clan elder and Ninth Elder couldn’t believe it and their eyes widened in shock.

That was their Luo Family’s treasured artifact, how could they possibly give it to Luo Ning.

Elder Luo Jiu said with a sneer, "Afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

This girl really had an appetite to covet such a treasure, "You’re dreaming."

Luo Ning laughed lightly, "I would really like to see if I can bite off more than I can chew."

"Leave behind the Yanyue Blade, and you will be free to go."

Her face was smiling, but her eyes and voice were utterly cold, "Otherwise, you might as well stay here."

"How dare you! Luo Ning, you’re dreaming," Elder Luo Jiu said, his chest aching with anger at the audacious girl.

Luo Ning rolled her eyes, "Don’t bite the hand that feeds you."

"Overturn their ship." Then she took out a porcelain bottle, tipped out two Pills, and threw them toward the Snake King.

These were Qi Replenishing Pills, and after the Snake King consumed them, it would quickly replenish the vital energy it had just spent.

The Snake King rapidly swam over and each of its heads snatched a Pill and swallowed it.

Then it grew in size once more and charged heedlessly towards the Luo Family’s ship.

Seeing this, the clan elder did not hesitate to peel off two more talismans, his strength still sufficient to withstand the onslaught of the evil spirit.

However, time was running short, so a quick resolution was necessary.

He directed the evil spirit to attack the Snake King, aiming to wound it.

But how could Luo Ning let the elder have his way?

The Snake King was now her pet, and she had no intention of letting it get hurt.

Thus, using her thousand-year-old dagger, she drew strands of the evil spirit from the Yanyue Blade and directed them towards the ship where the elder and Ninth Elder were.

"Ah!" The weaker members of the Luo Family, affected by the evil spirit’s incursion, felt their bodies burning and tingling painfully, and couldn’t help but cry out.
