Dashing Student Chapter 1426 1426: Sword Slays the Ghost King
Previously on Dashing Student...
Dark chains swiftly ensnared Chen Nan, their sharp barbs poised to pierce his flesh as they tightened. Simultaneously, three formidable specters launched a coordinated assault, each wielding a menacing Wolf Fang Club, descending upon Chen Nan with inescapable force!
"Ah!"
Chen Nan bellowed, and in that instant, demonic Qi surged from his very being, an intensity even surpassing that of the true Demon Clan, unleashing astonishing power.
"Fatian Xiangdi!"
A tremendous surge of power erupted, causing Chen Nan's form to rapidly enlarge to a staggering height of fifty feet. Behind him, spectral images of three Demon Clans materialized, their collective might merging into his frame.
At this juncture, even the Dragon Elephant Clan, the preeminent overlords among the Demon Clans, would yield in sheer strength.
With a resounding crash, the binding chains were violently obliterated. The Wolf Fang Clubs wielded by the three specters struck, but only managed to inflict superficial wounds upon his body.
A multitude of Ghost Clan members observed the colossal Chen Nan with expressions of shock, yet the potent Essence Energy radiating from him ignited their envy, causing them to drool.
Such pristine and abundant Essence Energy, far exceeding even that of the Demon Clan!
Consequently, an even greater number of Ghost Clan members surged towards Chen Nan, raising their Wolf Fang Clubs and exulting as if in celebration.
Chen Nan also perceived numerous Ghost Clan youths approaching, their gazes filled with a savage desire to tear him asunder; among them were children who had previously implored him for tales of the world beyond. Now, their countenances had contorted into hideous visages!
"It's a deception, all of it is false!"
Chen Nan's roar, akin to thunder, reverberated powerfully as his colossal fist descended upon the Ghost Clan members below.
With a deafening impact, his fist struck the ground. A colossal specter, unable to evade, was struck by the blow and disintegrated into the purest Yin Energy.
The very essence of the Ghost Clan is born from Yin Energy!
The earth trembled violently from the impact and fractured with an explosive boom, countless fissures rapidly spreading like a spiderweb into the distance, reducing the surrounding structures to rubble.
Even the Ghost King, witnessing this spectacle, could not help but narrow his pupils: "Such formidable strength!"
The vanquished specter, its body destroyed, transformed into a jet-black crystal upon demise, remarkably similar to the currency Chen Nan had examined in Fengdu City.
This must be the remnant dropped by the Ghost Clan upon death. Although Chen Nan was uncertain of its function, he gathered it without hesitation before engaging other Ghost Clan members.
This time, without resorting to the Demon Suppressing Sword, he had still annihilated a giant specter, demonstrating that the Ghost Clan is not invincible; they too possess limits to the power they can endure.
Exceeding those boundaries can lead to their destruction!
Boom boom boom!
Chen Nan moved like a harbinger of destruction, leaving a trail of chaos and ruin in his wake; lesser Ghost Clan members were instantly crushed beneath his feet.
Those colossal specters trembled beneath his fists, incapable of withstanding the overwhelming might.
Numerous major specters hastily unleashed streams of black Yin Energy, its biting cold instantly freezing the ground. Despite the Spiritual Fire shielding Chen Nan, the frigid essence permeated his body, causing his mana to feel sluggish.
"Damn it!"
The Ghost King roared, his hair standing on end, charging furiously at Chen Nan. The dark patterns adorning his body began to glow faintly, causing his eyes to flash blood-red.
As he charged, the Ghost King's form also grew continuously, eventually matching Chen Nan's immense size. The patterns pulsed as he violently collided with Chen Nan.
Chen Nan's colossal body was sent hurtling backward, demolishing structures in his path. However, before he could fully recover, a violent aura erupted from within him.
"Not good, dodge quickly!" The Ghost King's eyes widened suddenly, his shout laced with alarm, but it was too late.
A Four-Colored Golden Crow, emanating intense heat, burst forth from Chen Nan, hurtling towards the Ghost King before detonating with a tremendous explosion.
A mushroom cloud ascended, the blinding inferno nearly searing the retinas of the Ghost Clan members. Its terrifying power was unleashed, engulfing the Ghost Clan forces who failed to retreat.
As the fiery light subsided, a vast crater, a hundred feet in diameter, marked the impact site. The earth was scorched, and countless Ghost Clan members had perished in the blast.
"Human! You shall perish!"
The Ghost King, severely scorched, found his Yin Energy agonizingly purified by the flames. He uttered each word through gritted teeth, consumed by a seething hatred that stripped him of all reason.
But before he could retaliate, a beam of white light descended upon him, and for a fleeting moment, he experienced an overwhelming sense of impending doom.
"Oh no!"
Boom!
Another explosion echoed, seemingly tearing the very fabric of space. A bolt of white lightning transformed into a thunderous orb, engulfing the Ghost King.
The destructive force appeared intent on annihilating all existence!
After the thunder subsided, the Ghost King was revealed to be riddled with wounds, the Hongmeng Origin Thunder proving to be far more devastating than the Four-Colored Golden Crow.
From a distance, Yu Chao and several members of the Demon Clan arrived, their faces etched with astonishment at the scene before them.
"Tell me, was this commotion truly caused by someone in the Golden Core Realm? Is this infernal thing really the Golden Core Realm?"
They recognized the imposing figure present—it was none other than the Ghost King!
Chen Nan, having expended the power of Fatian Xiangdi, began to shrink rapidly. Yet, he understood that retreat was not an option; a relentless advance was the only path forward.
Otherwise, with the arrival of more Ghost Kings, his demise would be inevitable!
"Members of the Demon Clan, do not disappoint me, arrive quickly!"
A wave of weakness washed over Chen Nan, a consequence of employing the Fatian Xiangdi technique. Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and, with a sudden grasp, clutched the Demon Sword!
Thunder amassed behind him, coalescing into a pair of wings, propelling him through space like a bolt of lightning, closing the distance to the Ghost King in an instant.
The Ghost King's eyes blazed with fury, his face contorted in rage as immense Yin Energy gathered in his palm, preparing to annihilation this human with his ultimate attack.
However, at that critical juncture, luminous white silken threads emerged from Chen Nan's body, piercing the void.
The Ghost King immediately perceived the space around him grow stagnant, his movements significantly hampered.
Time itself had been slowed!
Struggling to break free from the temporal restraint, the Ghost King snapped the threads. But the precious moment gained was already enough.
Chen Nan ascended to the Ghost King's face, level with its head, and the Demon Suppressing Sword in his grasp unleashed a surge of Sword Qi, three feet in length, sweeping out with lethal force!
The Ghost King's formidable physique offered no defense against the relentless Sword Qi, which cleaved through it as if it were air.
Chen Nan landed behind the Ghost King just as its massive head separated from its shoulders, plummeting to the ground!
