Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1832 - 1821: Pinned and Rubbed Down

Ning Fan was only certain of one thing: this zombie was isolated, with no other figures within a radius of three kilometers."Let's test it first."

Squinting, Ning Fan shot out a Gang Qi bullet, upgraded and swift like a streak of light, disappearing in the air.

Seeing the green skin under the torn robe, Ning Fan felt a wave of disappointment in his eyes.

Not even a scratch, the Gang Qi bullet that could pierce gold and stone didn't leave a mark.

The Gang Qi bullet inherently contains Divine Power capable of purifying Corpse Qi, and now it's even purer than before.

Given this situation, even if Ning Fan exerted his utmost effort, purifying this zombie would be impossible.

Even if this person, like the elder before, willingly accepted death, it was hopeless.

"What now?"

Ning Fan's gaze shifted; since fighting was useless, a different approach was necessary.

"Divine Dragon's Triple Extreme Flash!"

With an overwhelming momentum, the Divine Dragon surged forward, covering less than three meters in an instant.

The Divine Dragon charged straight at the zombie's chest, followed by an upward rise of sizzling green smoke,

all the smoke stemming from the purification of Corpse Qi by Divine Power.

The previously stagnant zombie seemed to regain a bit of Spiritual Wisdom.

With a low growl, the surrounding Corpse Qi rushed toward its chest.

In a blink of an eye, the Corpse Qi became almost tangible in density.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ning Fan's toes lightly tapped, reaching an extreme speed, creating a chain of visible afterimages in midair.

Aiming for the opportunity, as Ning Fan brushed past the zombie, his right hand reached toward its waist.

"Got it!"

Feeling the icy texture in his palm, Ning Fan was elated. Just as he was about to flee, his expression suddenly shifted.

He faintly sensed a formidable gust of force, coming at lightning speed with no time to evade.

At the critical moment, Ning Fan swiftly activated all his Gang Qi, concentrating it on his back, which, now in high concentration, turned semi-transparent despite being colorless.

With a loud bang, a sweet taste surged in Ning Fan's throat; he transformed into an arrow, flying forward once more.

Ning Fan, who had barely entered Half-step Heavenly Gang, hadn't had time to show off when he immediately felt despair from being overwhelmed.

After all, for a Half-step Heavenly Gang, a strike from the zombie that would have severely injured the previous Ning Fan would now barely affect him beyond turmoil in his blood and Qi.

"Perfect timing to escape with the palm force."

Ning Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, daring not to linger, propelling his entire Gang Qi to flee.

As the passageway drew nearer, Ning Fan couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

Realizing he couldn't contend head-on, Ning Fan never intended to, since his goal was the Jade Pendant; the method didn't matter as long as he got it.

Thus, Ning Fan considered "retreat"; even this palm strike was part of his plan to escape using the enemy's attack.

"Facing these truly inhuman beings, clever tactics are the only way."

A trace of pride flashed in Ning Fan's heart but was quickly replaced by a grim expression.

The zombie, which should have been fifty meters behind, bizarrely appeared blocking the passage ahead.

Noticing the zombie's bright, bulbous red eyes, Ning Fan couldn't help but have his scalp tingle.

The plan was indeed well-crafted, but the power disparity was too vast.

"This is freaking..."

His lament wasn't finished when Ning Fan felt himself soaring once again.

The zombie's speed was such that, with Ning Fan's eyesight, he could only vaguely discern a black line.

The ensuing scene reminded Ning Fan of his duel with the Blood Fang Clan Leader.

Except this time, the tragedy befell him.

In mid-flight, just as Ning Fan steadied himself, another palm struck him down, grinding him against the ground.

To Ning Fan, besides the exceptionally heavy force, the zombie's attacks were otherwise unimpressive.

Even the injuries from his disrupted blood and Qi disappeared under the Divine Power's superlative recovery abilities.

However, being swatted like a fly was utterly annoying to Ning Fan.

"Do I really have to give up?"

Feeling the icy coolness in his hand, Ning Fan hesitated in his eyes.

The zombie's persistent aggression was because of this Jade Pendant,

Every attack aimed directly at Ning Fan's right hand.

Clearly, some connection existed between the zombie and the Jade Pendant.

The way for Ning Fan to get rid of it was simple: just throw the Jade Pendant away, the further the better.

But having obtained it with great difficulty, Ning Fan was genuinely reluctant to abandon it unless absolutely necessary.

The zombie's tension over the Jade Pendant verified its significance.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Thinking of the possibility of finding Xuan Tian Sect's high-rank moves within the Jade Pendant, a hint of fervor flashed in Ning Fan's eyes.

Having witnessed the power of the Western cultivation world, Ning Fan urgently needed to build his strength.

"Hold on for now. Maybe a turning point will come!"

In these hopeful fantasies, Ning Fan, like a kite, was toyed with by the zombie.

At this moment, Ning Fan's face darkened, for he sensed unrest in the nearby Corpse Qi.

Ning Fan finally remembered the overlooked detail.

"What a fool I've been; in the fifth-level space, how could there be only one zombie?"

The thought of more Xuan Tian Sect zombies approaching stripped Ning Fan of any illusions of escape.

"There's no choice. I have to give up."

Looking at the Jade Pendant in his hand, Ning Fan's gaze turned cold, "As long as the green hills remain, there's no worry of finding timber. They won't escape, and this power won't last. Given time, I will return."

Last time, the mere pressure of Corpse Qi in this five-level space severely injured Ning Fan.

Now, as a Half-step Heavenly Gang, he's able to withstand this environment, even enduring attacks from a master above the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"When I enter the Heavenly Gang Realm, opportunities will arise."

At this moment, Ning Fan made his decision.

He had to shake off this entanglement before the zombies arrive alerted.

As Ning Fan threw the Jade Pendant away, the scene changed once more.

The zombie hurtling directly at Ning Fan suddenly veered sideways, shifting to the right.

In this thick, material-like Corpse Qi, the zombie's swift movement traced an inverted "L" path of opulence.

Following the zombie's location, the Corpse Qi violently fluctuated, gradually morphing into the outline of a human figure.

Perplexed by the zombie's bizarre shift, and upon seeing the figure clearly, Ning Fan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Corpse Spirit!"

Amidst the boiling Corpse Qi, a man cloaked in a gray robe was distinctly hidden.

The man wasn't wearing a gray robe but, like the Corpse Spirit Ning Fan saw before, was entirely composed of thick Corpse Qi.

As he witnessed the scene, Ning Fan was momentarily stunned as the zombie and Corpse Spirit intertwined.

"Truly deserving of Xuan Tian Sect!"

Ning Fan felt a wave of emotion inside.

The masters of Xuan Tian Sect, even after turning into zombies, still subconsciously bore the mark of vanquishing demons on behalf of the heavens.

The zombie abandoned its chase after him precisely due to the Corpse Spirit's presence.

"When immortals fight, mortals must retreat. I'd better slip away first."
