Dashing Student Chapter 1333: Heaven-Defying Physique
Previously on Dashing Student...
"Meteor Fire Rain!"
An enraged shout echoed across the heavens and earth, with endless flames descending from above like a fiery downpour, every single flame displaying three distinct hues.
Upon touching the flames, the blood arrows hissed and melted away swiftly.
"Charge!"
After dealing with the blood arrows' threat, Chen Nan clutched his chest abruptly, yanking out two additional teeth from the Tooth Chain and hurling them forward, summoning two more colossal creatures.
All four colossal creatures lunged toward the Old Ghost at once, yet his mana was draining at an alarming rate simultaneously.
"So this is what you're relying on, but do you really believe a single secret treasure can take me down?"
The Old Ghost smirked, revealing his sparse, discolored and grimy teeth. His shriveled palms shaped an odd seal, making the surrounding blood mist boil fiercely.
Suddenly, the blood mist ballooned outward, spreading over several kilometers and swallowing a huge expanse. In the following instant, four spectral claws emerged from the mist, like the doors to the underworld swinging open.
These ghostly claws seized the four massive creatures directly, while innumerable blood arrows materialized once more, puncturing the beasts in a flash.
"At your current cultivation level, handling four giant beasts is surely your maximum, isn't it? Let's see how much longer you can keep this up."
The Old Ghost cackled menacingly, having fully discerned Chen Nan's strategy. He understood that mending the beasts' injuries would demand vast amounts of mana, so he kept harassing the four creatures without mercy.
Noticing the beasts' ineffectiveness against the Old Ghost, Chen Nan altered his focus, causing the four beasts to vanish together, reverting to four teeth that flew back to him.
"Star Constellation Sword Formation, activate!"
Chen Nan promptly called forth the Nabing Lotus Heart, sending nine formation swords soaring out. He clenched his jaw as the Nabing Lotus Heart quivered, surprisingly unleashing three extra formation swords.
Thanks to his enhanced cultivation, he could now command as many as twelve formation swords, which undoubtedly boosted the sword formation's might further.
Within moments, the Old Ghost was trapped inside the sword array, with thick clusters of Sword Qi weaving across, on the verge of tearing apart both him and the nearby void!
"Oh? Fascinating."
The Old Ghost leered wickedly, as a multitude of blood arrows reemerged around him, targeted precisely at every Sword Qi. Yet he soon realized his blood arrows couldn't endure the overwhelming strength of the Sword Qi.
"What sort of sword formation is this? How can its power be so immense?"
After exclaiming in alarm, the Sword Qi struck him almost immediately, carving hundreds of gashes across his form in an instant, with certain strands of Sword Qi skewering him clean through.
"You seek death!"
The Old Ghost had no desire to slay Chen Nan; after all, a supreme Blood Slave like him was incredibly rare, impossible to replace within a thousand miles, and ideal for ongoing blood cultivation if kept close.
Killing him would mean only a single absorption opportunity.
Nevertheless, Chen Nan's assault infuriated him, rousing the fury of a Golden Core Realm Great Perfection expert, just one step from the Nascent Soul Realm. If he couldn't overpower a mere Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer cultivator, what face would he have left?
"You forced my hand!"
"Blood Demon!"
As the Old Ghost bellowed, the blood strewn across the ground broke free, coalescing into droplets that ascended.
The blood streamed toward the Old Ghost, though it remained insufficient; he swept his arm, claiming the lives of hundreds of distant demon cultivators, drawing their fresh blood out in a heartbeat.
Every drop of blood merged into a flowing stream, pouring wholly into the Old Ghost's frame, reshaping his form dramatically.
His previously withered body began to plump up, locks of hair sprouting rapidly to become thick and full in seconds, and even the fangs in his jaws regenerated at once.
This spectacle resembled turning back the clock on age, shifting from a grotesque elder to a sturdy middle-aged man in mere heartbeats.
Now, his gaze burned with crimson light, his figure enveloped in strange blood flows, as he thrust a massive palm at Chen Nan.
"Blood Tide!"
A colossal blood wave erupted without warning, surging savagely toward Chen Nan, poised to demolish all in its path.
The immense pressure made Chen Nan's face pale, as he hastily channeled mana into his Sword Chenyuan, the edge glowing with intense icy brilliance.
The sword was further cloaked in powers of thunder and fire.
"Slash!"
Chen Nan swung his sword fiercely, unleashing a Sword Qi laced with thunder and flame that hurtled forward, brutally cleaving the blood tide apart in two.
He didn't dare relax, for the split blood tide reformed speedily, continuing its assault on him!
Out of the wave, crimson cords lashed out, ensnaring Chen Nan's arms and legs, leaving him powerless to escape.
Crash!
In the end, the blood tide slammed into Chen Nan, the impact almost shattering his frame.
With a flick from the Old Ghost, the blood chains tightened sharply, yanking Chen Nan directly before him.
"Little pest, if you weren't valuable to me, I'd crush your bones into powder right now!"
He delivered a brutal slap to Chen Nan's cheek, then eagerly sank his teeth into Chen Nan's shoulder.
The moment the blood entered his mouth, the Old Ghost's eyes bulged, overcome with thrill: "This is utterly supreme; I've never encountered blood of such exceptional caliber!"
He sensed his bottleneck yielding slightly, recognizing this as the key breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.
After relishing it thoroughly, a expression of wild joy crossed the Old Ghost's features: "I understand now why your blood tastes so divine—you carry the Innate Yin Yang Spirit Body!"
"Haha, the Innate Yin Yang Spirit Body is renowned for defying the works of heaven and earth, delving into the secrets of sun and moon, rivaling divine elixirs!"
"What's the Nascent Soul Realm? Just keep supplying me with your blood, and I might even touch upon realms beyond!"
The Old Ghost was driven mad with obsession; no one could stay calm before the Yin Yang Spirit Body, for tales proclaimed it a premier constitution capable of propelling one to boundless peaks.
However, he overlooked the odd marking that appeared on Chen Nan, resembling scaly plating, none other than the Sixth Grade Flood Dragon Armor.
Chen Nan had first considered fighting back, but the Old Ghost's declaration suddenly illuminated obscure corners of his thoughts.
That explained Master Xuanming's relentless chase, and why Yama Hall refused to release him—they all knew his body's hidden truth!
Realization flooded Chen Nan's mind, his gaze finally locking onto the ecstatic Old Ghost, hardening with murderous resolve.
A gleam of white energy gathered at his fingers, and by the time the Old Ghost detected the savage force, it was far too late.
The Hongmeng Origin Thunder stabbed directly into the Old Ghost's core like a lethal dagger!
