Dashing Student Chapter 1331: Arrogant Provocation

In the heart of Ten Thousand Treasures City, the cultivators stationed along the city walls froze in astonishment upon witnessing Chen Nan eradicate hundreds of demon cultivators with a single devastating attack. Thrill rapidly surged among them.

A cultivator of such immense power could truly nullify their shortfall in numbers.

Xin Zi abruptly clenched his fist: "As expected of the Life-taking Yama!"

"Naturally, do you even need to point it out? Jue Mingzi is my close brother!" Deng Yunhe wore a smug look of satisfaction.

Ning Yu’s expression brimmed with concern, since she realized this uproar would inevitably summon even fiercer demon cultivators, and she hoped Chen Nan wasn’t quite so formidable, preferring not to watch him suffer injury right in front of her.

True enough, the chaos stirred up by Chen Nan caught the eye of the demon cultivators, particularly the trio at Golden Core Realm Great Perfection commanding the flying boat high above.

"Hmph, nothing more than a futile last stand," Lu Xingmian scoffed contemptuously.

Beside him, Ye Xiaoyun gazed at the figure amid the inferno, her pulse quickening unexpectedly: "Is that him? If it really is, then I must hold back from intervening."

"Should he come to harm, that individual would undoubtedly lose all reason!"

She pondered quietly, casting a look at Lu Xingmian and the Old Ghost nearby, each boasting cultivation on par with her own and equivalent prowess.

Therefore, not even she could halt their moves.

"At most, I’ll simply refrain from acting, and keep my followers from doing so as well. If trouble arises, I won’t face the repercussions."

In another spot among the demon cultivators, a commander darted swiftly toward Chen Nan’s position, openly displaying his cultivation—a formidable Seventh Level Golden Core Realm expert.

"Brat, for slaying my Demon Sect members, you must be courting death!"

He bellowed in rage, lunging straight ahead, but the figure ahead abruptly manifested a metallic lotus-heart artifact, prompting him to stop short, cautious it might be some potent hidden treasure.

Chen Nan sneered with derision: "Do all Demon Sect folks cower like you?"

With those words, nine array swords burst forth from the Nabing Lotus Heart he summoned, encircling the demon cultivator commander in a flash and setting up the formation within moments.

"Star Constellation Sword Formation, activate!"

Chen Nan executed a hand seal, triggering the sword array at once, unleashing a thick torrent of sword qi without delay.

The demon cultivator commander’s scalp prickled as he saw the sword qi hurtling his way, frantically calling forth a bone shield to guard himself, with swirling demonic and ghostly energies coiling over its surface.

Chen Nan narrowed his eyes faintly, soaring right into the sword array, a relic spinning leisurely overhead while immense Buddha Light gathered within his palms.

"Great Compassion Buddha Palm!"

The Buddha Light shaped into a colossal golden palm print, plummeting from above like an oppressive peak, smashing straight onto the bone shield and dispersing the demonic energies in an instant.

Still, the bone shield withstood the assault, and the demon cultivator commander even thrust his head out to glare at Chen Nan, his gaze filled with open challenge.

"Hmph, relying on just a basic sword array and one relic to challenge the heavens? How foolish... Hold on, you’re tricking me!"

The demon cultivator commander’s statement trailed off as a cry echoed, with yet another golden Buddha palm materializing overhead, slamming down once more.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chen Nan kept summoning three golden Buddha palms in succession, pounding relentlessly on the bone shield until it finally cracked with a sharp "snap".

This was, after all, a Sixth Grade Technique; absent the relic’s boost, he couldn’t have unleashed it with such ease.

The very second the bone shield broke apart, the amassed sword qi surged forward sharply, swiftly weaving into a tight sword web that trapped the demon cultivator commander from every angle.

The sword qi cut with exceptional keenness, as if parting the very atmosphere, and in just a single breath, the demon cultivator commander’s form was covered in gashes.

Chen Nan offered no mercy, shaping hand seals as a savage Heaven-Burning Flame erupted from his frame, pooling in his grasp.

"Star Fall!"

Mana from his body flowed along designated meridians, converting into unadulterated Heaven-Burning Flame that erupted outward, coalescing into a huge fireball overhead in mere moments.

The fireball plunged like a shooting star, draining the color from the demon cultivator commander’s face as he summoned a bone blade anew, wrapped in billowing demonic aura, and hacked straight at the fireball.

With a thunderous clash, the bone blade hammered into the Heaven-Burning Flame, yet the intensely yang and rigid blaze swiftly devoured the demonic aura, even scorching fine fissures across the bone blade.

The inferno burst outward, the flames outright swallowing the demon cultivator commander!

As the blaze faded at last, the demon cultivator commander emerged once more into view, though now scorched pitch-black, his skin blistered and torn.

"Ah! This is outrageous—I’ll end you... Ah!"

The identical scene played out again; the demon cultivator commander barely uttered his threat when searing agony struck, blanking his thoughts in an instant.

Unnoticed, the Soul Destruction Nail had materialized at his rear, piercing right into the base of his skull.

In that moment of mental haze, Chen Nan darted forward, gripping the Sword Chenyuan with savage force, whipping up a fierce gale!

With a tearing noise, the demon cultivator commander’s body split clean in half, his Golden Core severed as well.

Blood sprayed across his features, heightening his savage and intimidating aura, sending the surrounding demon cultivators scrambling back in panic.

Chen Nan brushed the blood from his face, sensing a refined Blood Evil Qi from the fallen demon cultivator commander seeping into his form.

Combined with the earlier elimination of over a hundred demon cultivators, his cultivation started to yield slightly.

"Truly, the ’Taotie Technique’ unleashes its full might in a chaotic field like this."

Chen Nan whispered to himself, pondering whether cutting down every one of them could propel him to Golden Core Realm Great Perfection.

Yet that proved unfeasible, as the tens of thousands of demon cultivators wouldn’t simply await execution, and absorbing such an enormous influx of Blood Evil Qi posed its own risks.

Hence, he pressed on with his strategy, gradually lifting the Sword Chenyuan, its blade aimed squarely at the three Golden Core Realm Great Perfection experts on the far-off flying boat.

This stood as an outright taunt!

The hottest-tempered among them, Lu Xingmian, upon spotting this, burst into furious laughter, his locks bristling with wrath: "Well, well, it’s the first I’ve encountered someone so brazen."

"Time to reveal the chasm separating us!"

With that declaration, he geared up to face Chen Nan, but to his surprise, the Old Ghost launched himself ahead.

"Hehe, I’m getting on in years, so I might as well handle this youngster. A trip like this demands some action."

Lu Xingmian sneered icily: "Old Ghost, don’t think you’re deceiving anyone; you just crave this kid’s vibrant essence."

"Very well, go ahead, but in the assault, you’d better not hinder my killing spree!"
