Dashing Student Chapter 1448 - 1442: Slaying the Personal Disciples (Part 2)

"That is why your master forbids you from descending the mountain, hoping to wait until you possess greater strength, so that even if you encounter malevolent individuals, you will have the might to defend yourself."

It was only then that Yun Ying grasped the true 'benevolent intentions' of her master, and she was deeply moved, tears welling up: "Master, I was mistaken. I will absolutely cultivate with utmost diligence."

"Once I attain the fifth layer of the Golden Core Realm, I shall personally descend and capture Chen Nan, compelling him to offer an apology to our master!"

"Excellent, with such resolve, I, as your master, can finally rest easy."

Guo Qing's face immediately relaxed into a smile. He produced an Elixir Pill from his robes and presented it to Yun Ying: "Here, this is a newly refined Elixir Pill by your Martial Uncle. Take it quickly."

This time, Yun Ying did not immediately consume the Elixir Pill. Instead, she appeared somewhat hesitant: "Master, I have been feeling a bit unwell, and at times, the mana within my body even seems to escape my control."

"May I perhaps delay taking the Elixir Pill for a short while?"

After all, her cultivation had been advanced at a significant cost through the use of Elixir Pills; her fundamental strength had not truly increased. It was akin to a vessel attempting to hold more liquid than its capacity allowed, naturally leading to such complications.

However, Guo Qing smiled and shook his head: "There is no need to worry. Your master is here to assist you. Besides, do you not wish to descend the mountain sooner to apprehend Chen Nan?"

The mention of this reignited determination within Yun Ying's eyes.

"Very well, I shall take it!"

"Chen Nan, since you refuse to appreciate kindness, then you shall perish!"

Lin Qingfeng bellowed ferociously. The long sword in his grip transformed into a shimmering green rainbow, thrusting directly towards Chen Nan's chest. Sword Qi surged forth, its chilling light piercing the air.

A burning rage had festered in his heart throughout their journey. Striking in his anger now, the sword's power was astounding. The very ground was rent asunder by the sharp Sword Qi, and the sound of its passage was incredibly piercing.

Chen Nan raised an eyebrow. The Sword Chenyuan materialized in his hand as well, held horizontally before him. The green light impacted the sword body with considerable force, causing the Sword Chenyuan to bend violently.

The potent shockwave sent him staggering back a significant distance. Yet, unexpectedly, Jiang Caixian materialized behind him. She too summoned a long sword, though hers was slender and elongated, resembling a whip more than a blade.

Mana was poured into the long sword, and a faint luminescence immediately surfaced along its edge. As she executed a slash, dense Sword Qi instantly formed a net, effectively sealing Chen Nan's escape routes.

Lin Qingfeng and Jiang Caixian executed their assault with flawless coordination. Their combat styles were distinct; Jiang Caixian's Sword Qi was gentle and fluid, while Lin Qingfeng's was bold and expansive.

Sensing imminent entrapment within the Sword Net, Chen Nan's eyes suddenly sharpened. An immense torrent of Demon Qi erupted from his body, overwhelming the surroundings and instantly plunging the heavens and earth into grim darkness.

His physical form abruptly expanded by one-third. The Sword Chenyuan in his hand appeared as a mere toy; he put it away and gathered the collective might of the three Demon Clan overlords into his hands, one fist extended forward, the other held back.

Boom!

The two explosive sounds occurred almost simultaneously; Chen Nan's punch repelled the green flying rainbow, and another shattered the Sword Net behind him.

Although his arm sustained several wounds from the Sword Qi, it was of little consequence to him.

Jiang Caixian's expression shifted dramatically. The aura that Chen Nan now exuded caused her to tremble, as if confronting a monstrous entity.

But before she could fully process this, Chen Nan pivoted and charged towards her, simultaneously flicking his hand to release a faint red mist that rapidly spread outwards.

Jiang Caixian hastily retreated, but her body inevitably brushed against the crimson vapor. The world before her eyes suddenly distorted, and two figures materialized ahead, their backs turned to her.

These two figures were eerily familiar, so much so that a profound shiver coursed through Jiang Caixian's being, an instantaneous dread blooming from within.

"You... weren't you both killed by me?" Her voice escalated into a sharp cry.

The two figures slowly turned, their aged faces devoid of eyes, replaced by two gaping, bloody sockets.

The fronts of their chests bore similar crimson stains, as if they had been brutally hacked multiple times.

"Child, why did you wish to end us?"

Their voices were like a dire curse, causing Jiang Caixian's body to convulse and extracting a deeply buried memory from her mind.

It was the moment she first embarked on the path of Immortality; her parents had opposed her decision, leading her to frenziedly end their lives. She had believed herself long past such turmoil, unaware it lay concealed so deeply within her psyche.

The spectral, blood-drenched images of her parents advanced towards her, eliciting a scream of abject terror: "No, leave me!"

At that precise moment, a magnificent voice suddenly echoed through the air.

"Junior Sister!"

The surrounding illusion realm vanished instantly, but a large fist was rapidly magnifying within her sight; she instinctively raised her sword to block, yet did not expect the sword blade to tremble completely before the fist, the fist still landing on her.

With a "puff", Jiang Caixian felt a tremendous force almost destroy the bones of her chest, making her body fling backwards like a ragdoll, crashing heavily to the ground.

Only then did she realize everything she had just seen was an illusion realm.

"Haven’t used it in a while; never expected it still worked wonders."

Chen Nan grinned, having used the Heavenly Fox Clan’s Innate Divine Ability "Illusion Technique", not expecting Jiang Caixian to fall for it so easily.

The reason lay in her heart, harboring too much filth, resulting in her fearsome demeanor within the illusion realm.

Chen Nan took a giant step forward, suddenly jumping high, with his foot descending towards the prone Jiang Caixian, as if to stomp her into flesh!

"Junior Sister!"

Lin Qingfeng grew anxious, directly summoning his Flying Sword, entwined with sword aura as if transforming into a giant serpent, its blood-red mouth biting fiercely at Chen Nan.

"Hmph!"

Feeling the sharp sword aura approaching from behind, Chen Nan snorted coldly, suddenly changing direction in mid-air, the Void Breaking Sword flying out from him, transforming into an extremely thin line, accurately striking the giant serpent.

The giant serpent instantly shattered, while thunder flickered on Chen Nan’s enormous form, suddenly rushing to Lin Qingfeng’s face, a sharp presence abruptly emanating from him.

The Sword Chenyuan in hand, the big hand with the small sword seemed mismatched, yet with one slash, a sword intent flew from him like a crescent moon, as if to sever all before him!

"Heavenly Battle Sword Skill!"

This sword intent, nurtured for nearly five months after arriving in the Inner Sea, including the time spent in the Time Domain, seemed to be earth-shattering in power!

Lin Qingfeng’s eyes widened; as a Sword Cultivator, he thought highly of his own sword skills, yet before this sword intent, his insignificance became clear.

At this moment, he hadn’t even the thought of resisting, his mind filled solely with that earth-shattering sword intent.

Swish!

The sword intent flew over Lin Qingfeng, slicing through even several barren mountains behind, collapsing with a rumble.

Lin Qingfeng’s body bore a blood line in the middle, then split along it, collapsing to either side, even his Golden Core cleaved in two by the sword intent.

The blood scattered on the ground was still faintly warm. Chen Nan turned around, casting a cold gaze at the distant, risen Jiang Caixian. The grin on his face drained color from hers.

"You...you..."

A tremendous fear enveloped her, seeing Chen Nan as if transformed into a demon.

Only then did she understand why Chen Nan had ransacked Moon River Valley, not because of the two of them; Chen Nan was always cautious of only the Sect Leader and the three Elders of Moon River Valley!

Comprehending this, Jiang Caixian turned to flee, now just wanting to save her life.

"Can’t let you escape; otherwise, returning to Moon River Valley, I won’t be safe."

Chen Nan murmured, the tremendous Divine Soul Power swiftly converging before him, forming a Great Seal invisible to the naked eye.

With a thought, the Great Seal flew out silently, across space, instantly arriving above Jiang Caixian, crashing heavily down!

"Suppress!"

Jiang Caixian’s eyes flipped suddenly; she only felt a massive power pressing onto her Divine Soul, nearly crushing it!
