Dashing Student Chapter 1394 1394: The Might of Sword Intent

A sense of relief washed over Jin Ming and his three companions upon realizing the Divine Calculator lacked the might of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Swiftly, the three-headed demons, Jin Sheng, Jin Tai, and Jin Ning, launched themselves at the Divine Calculator, their golden eyes blazing with fury. To be tricked by a deceased, plump individual was an unbearable humiliation!

Hovering in the sky, Jin Ming gazed down at Chen Nan, a dangerous curve gracing his lips. "You dared to challenge me before; now, I accept. Come, let me witness the true weakness of your human race!"

His wings beat powerfully, conjuring a torrent of golden lightning arcs. A fierce wind surged, and the thunder, amplified by its momentum, surged towards Chen Nan like a swarm of diminutive lightning bolts! "Wind Blade!"

Chen Nan raised his hand, projecting several wind blades, each about a foot in length. Simultaneously, he summoned the Jiao Long Armor, which enveloped his form. Despite its self-repairing capabilities, it still required spiritual materials for restoration, leaving a noticeable fissure on its surface.

The wind blades met the lightning arcs, unexpectedly triggering an explosion. The combined might of wind and thunder erupted, obliterating the blades in an instant. The immense force repelled Chen Nan several paces, his feet gouging deep tracks into the ground.

"Boy, perish!" Jin Ming sneered, lightning crackling around him. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, hurtling directly at Chen Nan, his claws slashing through the air, aimed precisely at Chen Nan's heart.

Clang!

A resonant clash of metal echoed. Chen Nan's blood and Qi surged as he was driven back over ten feet, a fresh claw mark marring the Jiao Long Armor, exacerbating its existing damage.

Yet, Chen Nan did not yield. Instead, he surged directly towards Jin Ming. Midway, golden flames ignited around his body, subtly interwoven with hints of black and purple. "Heaven-Burning Transformation!"

The terrifying heat radiated outwards, unleashing the power of the Spiritual Fire. Chen Nan became akin to a mobile volcano, magma seeming to spread with his every movement.

Noticing Chen Nan's intent for close-quarters combat, Jin Ming let out a mocking laugh. "Hehe, you dare to engage us demons in melee? Is that not courting death?"

Thunder surged from his wings, engulfing his body as he too charged forward.

They collided like ferocious, powerful beasts. A thunderous crash reverberated, causing the entire island to tremble violently, as if on the verge of shattering.

Dust and smoke billowed, obscuring vision, but were swiftly dispersed by the shockwaves from their clashing powers.

At the epicenter, Chen Nan and Jin Ming's fists met. Both bodies blazed with golden light before they simultaneously recoiled.

"Such power!" Jin Ming exclaimed in surprise. "But brute strength alone is insufficient!"

He charged again, intent on overwhelming Chen Nan with the demons' physical prowess. Every ounce of his strength was unleashed without restraint, each strike carrying a heart-stopping force.

The speed of his assault accelerated relentlessly until only two golden afterimages remained visible.

Chen Nan parried continuously, having also gauged Jin Ming's physical strength. He found it to be roughly equivalent to his own after activating the "Heaven-Burning Transformation," recognizing that the Golden-Eyed Thunder Falcon clan was not particularly known for their physique.

"Hmph, allow me to demonstrate true strength!"

With a sneer, he unleashed the Dragon Elephant Form. A colossal silhouette of a dragon elephant materialized in the void behind him, radiating the dominant aura of a higher demon clan, causing Jin Ming to falter.

Chen Nan clenched his fist and drove it forward. Immense force propelled a gust of fist wind, tearing through the air as it traveled.

Boom!

A muffled explosion followed. Jin Ming, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm, was sent flying by a single punch, his body carving a deep trench across the ground before crashing into the sea.

A hundred-foot tsunami erupted on the ocean's surface, the tremendous power agitating the waters as if they were profoundly disturbed.

Observing from a distance, the embattled Divine Calculator shouted in elation, "Excellent work!"

However, he was soon subjected to even more ferocious assaults from the three-headed demons.

The three demons cast a glance at Chen Nan, their expressions filled with utter shock. They were intimately aware of their leader Jin Ming's strength, and now he had been sent flying by a mere human?

Furthermore, Chen Nan bore little resemblance to a member of the human race at that moment.

His physique now towered over two meters, his muscles densely packed, resembling a demonic bodybuilder, all while emanating a potent demonic Qi.

"Is he one of us?"

The Divine Calculator cried out, "Who is one of our kind? My brother is a true human!"

"If not a demon, then a half-demon. What a disgrace to our demon clan!"

Jin Ning ceased his assault on the Divine Calculator, unfurling his wings and hurtling towards Chen Nan. Golden lightning crackled around his form, swiftly coalescing into a thunderball imbued with a terrifying destructive power.

Chen Nan regarded him with a cold gaze, took a step forward, and vanished from sight. His speed was so immense that the naked eye couldn't track his movement.

In the blink of an eye, he reappeared directly above Jin Ning. With a forceful stomp, he descended, the astonishing power rending Jin Ning's body. Jin Ning coughed up a mouthful of blood, crashing into the ground with a sickening thud.

That single stomp shattered his spine. The sheer magnitude of the force nearly compressed his body into two halves.

Witnessing this, Jin Sheng and Jin Tai, the remaining two formidable demons, gasped in unison. Their eyes, now filled with apprehension, fixed on Chen Nan.

This human cultivator's physical prowess demonstrably surpassed their own demonic lineage; he was an anomaly, a true prodigy!

Chen Nan sent Jin Ning flying aside with a kick and then launched himself into the air. The Sword Chenyuan materialized in his grasp, a subtle ripple of sword intent flowing into the blade.

His gaze swept towards the distant ocean. Extending his divine sense, he detected the rapidly approaching aura of Jin Ming, accompanied by flickers of golden lightning within the seawater.

"Human, your doom is sealed!"

Jin Ming erupted from the sea's surface, his countenance contorted with pure hatred. One of his arms hung limply, the bone visibly fractured and protruding from the break.

It was abundantly clear that Chen Nan's prior strike had shattered his arm.

However, he was now confronted by the sword intent that Chen Nan had painstakingly honed for over three long months.

"Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique!"

A blinding flash of sword light erupted as Chen Nan brought his blade down. The world seemed to fall into an unnatural silence, an overwhelming pressure descending that stifled all breath.

In the following instant, the very sky appeared to rend, a colossal sword shadow descending from above, poised to slice through the heavens themselves.

Jin Ming's eyes widened, a palpable sense of mortal peril emanating from the sword intent. Uncontrollable panic surged within his heart.

Shlick!

The ocean parted with a resonant sword slash, leaving a chasm that stretched ten miles deep. Jin Ming was once again cleaved into the sea by a single, devastating strike.

Yet, at the precise moment the sword intent descended, a rounded jade talisman worn by Jin Ming silently shattered. This disintegration released a protective power, shielding him from the brunt of the attack.

Had it not been for this fortuitous intervention, that devastating sword strike would have undoubtedly claimed his life instantly!
