Dashing Student Chapter 1334: Lone Hero Shakes the Demons

"No! What kind of monstrous thing is this?"

Old Ghost’s piercing shriek reverberated as the ferocious force of the Hongmeng Origin Thunder detonated inside him, shattering the bulk of his meridians right away, while the pale lightning swallowed him entirely!

Naturally, Chen Nan wasn’t under the illusion that the Source Thunder alone could annihilate Old Ghost. Right then, a Sword Qi stretching three zhang had formed over the sword array, plunging downward like a blade that split the heavens.

"Damn thing!"

From amid the thunder, Old Ghost’s enraged shout boomed, and abruptly a spectral claw lunged forward, slamming hard into Chen Nan’s chest.

This strike unleashed every bit of Old Ghost’s power, hurling Chen Nan backward with blood spraying from his mouth, carving a profound indentation in the Jiao Long Armor and even letting icy Qi seep into his frame.

Still, Chen Nan clenched his jaw, drawing forth three clumps of Spiritual Fire from his core and merging them swiftly. Just as the thunder began to fade, the Three-legged Golden Crow dove fiercely at Old Ghost.

Boom!

Following the thunder came a colossal blaze, its scorching heat warping the nearby space with fury, while the blood fog Old Ghost had unleashed burned up entirely.

Old Ghost’s agonized howls filled the inferno.

Once the fire ebbed away, Old Ghost’s form emerged once more for all to see, reduced to a blackened husk still emitting wisps of smoke.

Furthermore, a gash ran from his left shoulder down to his belly, inflicted by the Sword Qi, nearly bisecting him completely.

His eyes, remarkably spared destruction, had popped from their sockets, glaring with pure malice at Chen Nan: "You...you damned!"

"You’re the one who deserves damnation!"

Chen Nan hovered boldly in the sky, his Sun-shooting Bow pulled taut like a full moon, all twelve Jiao Long Arrows nocked on the string, and he loosed them with his words.

Transforming into twelve roaring Jiao Longs, the arrows barreled toward Old Ghost, ripping the gravely wounded foe to shreds!

High above, only a battered Golden Core remained, scrambling to flee.

Suddenly, the Void Breaking Sword materialized, precisely smashing the weakened Golden Core and pulverizing it, marking the utter end of Old Ghost.

A tremendous rush of refined and immense Blood Evil Qi poured into Chen Nan, leaving him sensing his cultivation teetering on the edge of advancement.

Defeating a Golden Core Realm Perfect Cultivator yielded far more Blood Evil Qi for the Taotie Technique to absorb than slaying hundreds of lesser cultivators.

Silence abruptly gripped the battlefield; the demon cultivators stared at Chen Nan in stunned silence, overwhelmed by profound astonishment.

"Impossible, how could Lord Old Ghost be defeated?"

"A Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer actually killed the Golden Core Realm Great Perfection Old Ghost? I must be dreaming."

"Who is he? How could the Righteous Alliance have such a terrifying person?"

Terror seized the demon cultivators, who backed away even more from Chen Nan, as though merely gazing at him was too much, much less approaching.

Atop the walls of Ten Thousand Treasures City, witnessing Chen Nan slay Old Ghost, Xin Zi’s mouth hung open in disbelief, his face twisted like he’d encountered a specter.

"Give me a slap; I must be dreaming?"

Deng Yunhe folded his arms, his expression openly screaming "you’re so inexperienced": "Now you know how formidable my brother is?"

A closer look at his legs revealed a faint quiver, though he hid it masterfully.

After all, pulling off a comeback against a Golden Core Realm Great Perfection Cultivator was the stuff of legends, and now he’d beheld it firsthand.

Certain cultivators within Ten Thousand Treasures City fared even worse, collapsing to the ground in a stupor, lingering in daze for ages before accepting the reality, then bursting into thunderous cheers.

"Mighty!"

"Hooray!"

The city’s residents bellowed with raw passion too, unaware of Chen Nan’s identity, yet that didn’t stop their heartfelt admiration.

Tears streamed down Ning Yu’s cheeks on the wall, for only she grasped the heavy toll Chen Nan had endured.

What’s more, beyond the city walls lurked two additional Golden Core Realm Great Perfection demon cultivators observing closely.

"Jue Mingzi, I forbid anything to happen to you; you must come back to me alive!"

Aboard the flying boat outside the city, Lu Xingmian’s eyes bulged wide, demonic Qi erupting from him without restraint.

"Trash! Old Ghost, too, was trash, actually dying at the hands of such a small character, an absolute disgrace to the Demon Sect!"

Meanwhile, Ye Xiaoyun at his side wrestled with her inner chaos.

She’d assumed he was merely a handsome plaything doted on by the witch, but he turned out to be a mighty pillar standing tall, a figure she could only admire from afar.

Next to him, the famed prodigies seemed utterly insignificant; if someone like that flourished, nothing could halt their rise!

As a result, Ye Xiaoyun’s view of Chen Nan shifted entirely, sparking an overwhelming desire to win his favor.

Eyeing the raging Lu Xingmian nearby, she’d already resolved her course.

...

Chen Nan drew in a steadying breath, aware solely of how razor-thin his victory had been in this clash.

From the outset, Old Ghost aimed to seize him alive and grew lax; ultimately, he fell to the prowess of Chen Nan’s Yin Yang Spirit Body, taking the full brunt of the assault.

Without that, eliminating Old Ghost would have demanded far greater effort from Chen Nan.

Fortunately, it all aligned with his scheme; the next confrontation, however, would prove far tougher, pitting him against two Golden Core Realm Great Perfection experts simultaneously!

Much like his earlier dash from the city, Chen Nan gradually lifted the Sword Chenyuan, its point aimed squarely at the suspended flying boat.

"Come fight!"

His bellow thundered across the skies and earth, striking dread into the hearts of more than ten thousand demon cultivators, who eyed that lone warrior with horror.

A single figure, yet he eclipsed the entire force of the demon cultivators!

"Don’t get cocky; you just killed a piece of trash. Do you really think you can defy the heavens?"

Lu Xingmian strode onto the flying boat’s bow, lifting a hand skyward as a spear materialized in his grasp, which he then flung with savage might, unleashing explosive force.

He was also a Body Cultivator!

Whistling sharply, the spear hurtled from above like a plummeting comet, its immense might gouging a wide furrow through everything in its path.

Under the crushing pressure, the Seven Stars ignited beneath Chen Nan’s feet, allowing his form to barely evade the spear.

Boom!

The spear buried itself deep into the soil, sending tremors through the ground with terrifying intensity, waves rippling across the surface like liquid, fissures racing outward wildly, and clouds of dust soaring upward.

When the haze cleared, a chasm ten thousand zhang in depth scarred the landscape!

Chen Nan glanced upward to find Lu Xingmian already rushing at him.

Curiously, the remaining Golden Core Realm Great Perfection cultivator held back from the fray.

"Could it be that all three of these demon cultivators are fools? Nonetheless, coming one by one suits me just fine!"
