Dashing Student Chapter 1402 1402: Battle of Life and Death

The imminent great battle cast a shadow over everything.

The Feather, once capable of rending space itself, now lay useless. Hope, the final ember in Ao Hao's heart, was extinguished. His gaze swept over the vast number of Human Clan cultivators on the battlefield below, absorbing the palpable battle intent that radiated from them, and his heart sank further with each passing moment.

"You have truly gone to extreme measures to confront my clan. I always believed the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect were sworn enemies, yet who would have guessed you would actually forge an alliance?" His words dripped with sarcasm and disdain.

Jiang Wuyue stood with his hands clasped behind his back, the formidable Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Righteous Alliance arrayed behind him. His voice, though calm, resonated with an unshakeable authority.

"Surrender now; escape is impossible today. If you submit and accept your fate willingly, we shall at least grant you the dignity of a complete corpse."

The knuckles of Ao Hao's hand, gripping the Space Feather, whitened from the immense pressure. Then, with a sharp, echoing 'crack,' the Feather disintegrated in his grasp. He looked up abruptly, his eyes locking onto Jiang Wuyue with fierce intensity.

"Jiang Wuyue, do you truly believe a mere broken array can contain my Demon Clan? Even if I perish today, I shall drag your Human Clan down with me! Mark my words, my Demon Clan *will* rise again!"

His declaration sounded like the casting of the most potent curse. His body began to expand, transforming into his true Jiao Long form. A roar tore from his throat, directed at the heavens. Instantly, the very colors of the world shifted, winds and clouds swirled together, and an oppressive, terrifying pressure descended upon the land.

Jiang Wuyue ascended into the sky. With a wave of his hand, the grand array enclosing Dragon Fall Island blazed to life, radiating an blinding golden luminescence. Countless blades of golden light materialized from the array, their points aimed directly at the assembled Demon Clan army.

"You will never be granted another chance!"

His pronouncement seemed to serve as the signal. The Demon and Human Clans crashed together with the fury of colliding torrents, commencing the fierce battle.

Upon their arrival, Chen Nan and Divine Calculator witnessed this very scene. They stood outside the array, stunned into silence for a prolonged period before they could regain their composure.

Both the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had committed everything to this conflict, stirring deep emotions within the onlookers.

Divine Calculator could no longer contain his impatience. Gazing upon the continuous cascade of Demon Clan corpses tumbling onto Dragon Fall Island, his eyes gleamed with avarice. "Quickly, let's enter! If we delay further, it will be too late!"

"Let's go. This is the decisive battle; we must also lend our strength."

Chen Nan drew a deep breath. Together with Divine Calculator, he plunged towards the array. They passed through the barrier with ease; the array was primarily designed to prevent the Demon Clan's escape, not to impede external entry.

Once inside the confines of the array, the deafening battle cries that pierced the sky reached their ears, igniting a surge of fervor even within Chen Nan, causing the blood in his veins to boil.

Divine Calculator raised his mystical Compass, first conjuring a protective shield of yellow light around himself. He then hurried towards a recently fallen Demon Clan member not far away, muttering incessantly.

"We're going to strike it rich this time, truly rich!"

With practiced efficiency, he extracted the Demon Core from the deceased demon's body. Just then, a Human Clan cultivator collapsed heavily beside him, blood erupting profusely. Clearly beyond any hope of recovery, the cultivator still clutched a Flying Sword with a vice-like grip.

"Since you won't be needing this anymore, I shall accept it for my Dao."

Divine Calculator let out a chuckle and directly seized the Flying Sword. The dying cultivator's eyes widened in disbelief, his gaze fixed on Divine Calculator's hand before he finally succumbed, his eyes remaining open in death.

Such morally questionable actions caused even Chen Nan to shake his head. His current focus was not on gathering spoils from fallen demons but on contributing to the Human Clan's cause.

A demon of the Golden Core Realm was violently propelled from the sky by a fiery blast. As it struggled to rise, it spotted Chen Nan standing nearby and let out a horrified shriek before charging forward.

At this moment, all Chen Nan perceived were enemies, leaving no room for hesitation or concern.

"Despicable Human Clan, perish!"

Chen Nan recognized the demon as belonging to the Ape Clan. Such a being would be perfect for refining a Demon Spirit Pill, crucial for advancing his mastery of the "Demon Ape Form." Without a second thought, he surged forward to meet the challenge.

He unleashed a torrent of potent Demon Qi from his body, colliding violently with the Ape Clan demon. The sheer force of their impact caused the very ground beneath them to fracture and splinter.

"Such power!" The Ape Clan demon was taken aback. This human was exceptionally peculiar, possessing not only immense physical strength but also radiating a powerful Demon Qi.

Unbeknownst to them, they mistakenly believed him to be a member of the Demon Clan.

"Die! Die! Die!"

The Ape Clan demon roared in fury, its voice transforming into concussive sound waves that radiated outward. Opening its maw, it produced an iron rod, bringing it down with a force potent enough to shatter mountains.

Chen Nan, witnessing the scene, promptly elevated the Sword Chenyuan to intercept. The two weapons met in rapid succession, each collision resonating with a powerful clang. The resulting shockwaves from their fierce engagement coalesced into a miniature tempest, relentlessly scouring the very ground beneath them.

The escalating clamor of their confrontation inevitably drew the attention of other combatants.

Zhao Qingxuan, suspended in the air, maintained an air of unflappable composure even amidst the onslaught from the Demon Clan. With a graceful sweep of his longsword, an intensely cold aura erupted, instantly encasing a Demon Clan adversary before him in ice.

With a subtle push off his toes, his form blurred into a streak of frigid luminescence, moving at incredible speed. He zipped past the frozen foe, which then splintered into countless fragments, tumbling from the heavens.

He cast his gaze downward towards Chen Nan, engaged in his intense battle below. A deep frown creased his brow, lost in contemplation, until another Demon Clan member surged towards him.

Hua Nongying's approach was far more direct. With every step she took, a vibrant flower unfurled, brilliant scarlet blossoms blooming in the emptiness like a floral staircase drawing her nearer to Chen Nan.

"Ten Thousand Flowers Killing Formation!"

Her lips parted slightly, and the myriad petals swirling behind her began to gyrate like a tempest. The once soft petals transformed into razor-sharp blades.

The colossal demon ensnared by the petals was brutally eviscerated, its body riddled with innumerable, dense wounds.

"Heh, are you Jue Mingzi?"

Hua Nongying offered a charming smile, betraying no hint of her recent deadly feat. Her gaze was filled with avid curiosity.

She felt a compelling need to understand what caliber of individual could stand as an equal to their group.

Chen Nan paid the woman no mind, his focus unwavering on the Ape Clan demon confronting him. As the beast unleashed a devastating blow, Chen Nan chose not to retreat but instead surged forward, extending his hand to seize the attack directly.

"Dragon Elephant Giant Power!"

With a resounding crash, the formidable iron rod, imbued with power enough to shatter mountains, was firmly ensnared by Chen Nan's grasp. He applied pressure, yanking the Ape Clan demon irresistibly towards him.

The Sword Chenyuan descended in a lethal arc from above. In a swift flash of frigid steel, the Ape Clan demon's form was bisected, a torrent of blood erupting.

With a mere thought, a powerful suction emanated from the Blood Gourd at his waist, drawing the demon's remains into its depths.

Throughout the entire exchange, Chen Nan had not afforded Hua Nongying even a single glance, leaving her feeling deeply slighted. Placing her hands on her hips, she demanded, "Hey, I'm addressing you!"

Chen Nan briefly glanced at her buxom figure, murmuring under his breath, "Boobs aplenty, brains in short supply."

He prepared to locate another demon, but Hua Nongying, incensed by his insult, reached out to seize Chen Nan: "Coarse words from a brute abound. I shall make you..."

However, before her grasp could connect with Chen Nan, a massive demon abruptly descended from the sky, landing squarely upon her.

The fallen demon rose to its feet, its predatory gaze now fixed upon Hua Nongying.

Looking aloft, Tu Susu and Yao Li regarded the scene with cold, piercing stares!
