Dashing Student Chapter 1499 1468: Three-Way Struggle (2)

The battle between the two was astonishing, and the fight between the disciples of Divine Phoenix City and Sword Cliff was equally brilliant. However, the cultivators temporarily affiliated with the two forces were now brewing sinister thoughts.

Seeing Feng Qingcheng's attention away from the Breakthrough Flower, a cultivator suddenly burst forth with an incredible speed, sweeping towards the Breakthrough Flower like a fierce gale!

As long as he seized the Breakthrough Flower and dashed into the Bronze Gate quickly, there would be no problem.

"How dare you!"

Feng Qingcheng noticed the scene, but she couldn't intercept in time. At the moment, Chen Nan, who was entangled with Zeng Ping, was the closest to the Breakthrough Flower.

Chen Nan naturally saw this too. Even though he already possessed a Breakthrough Flower, nobody would think it's ever enough, and even with his refining efforts, he couldn't guarantee success in a single attempt.

Thus, the more Breakthrough Flowers, the better.

Seeing someone trying to snatch his Breakthrough Flower, he couldn't conceal his power any longer. Dragon Elephant Giant Power filled his entire body instantly, and Seven Stars appeared beneath his feet, his body suddenly behind Zeng Ping.

The abrupt surge in speed left Zeng Ping too stunned to react, and he felt someone grab the back of his head.

The next fleeting moment, Chen Nan exerted tremendous force, smashing Zeng Ping's head onto the ground, driving a deep crater into the already shattered surface.

Soon after, thundering roared across his back, paired with Seven Stars Stepping Gang, his speed reached its peak, blocking the way of the cultivator trying to muddy the waters before he approached the Breakthrough Flower.

"This is mine!"

The Silver Giant Hammer swept out, and the onrushing cultivator didn't even have time to brake before being slammed far away, hammering into the ground fiercely.

Immediately, several cultivators rushed over, casting magic towards Chen Nan, with fire and ice engulfing him directly.

But as these powers dissipated, Chen Nan charged out, knocking those attacking cultivators away, spitting blood.

Each person either bore footprints or fist marks, or were simply flattened by the giant hammer.

From afar, Zeng Ping stood up, his expression broken. He had thought he was evenly matched with Chen Nan, but the recent strike revealed Chen Nan had been withholding his strength all along.

"No! I refuse to believe you're truly this strong!"

When Chen Nan turned to pocket the Breakthrough Flower, Zeng Ping charged over, his attack even sharper, his expression fierce, a hot, abnormal redness covering his body's surface.

Evidently, he had used some Secret Technique.

"Why bother!"

Chen Nan sighed, gathering the power of four Demon Clan overlords; how could Zeng Ping stand a chance? Even a body cultivator wouldn't suffice!

In an instant, his already burly physique expanded by threefolds again, his palm larger than Zeng Ping's head, and he swung down violently.

Zeng Ping had already raised his arms to block, but failed, and upon contact with Chen Nan's hand, his arm twitched, then smacked into his own side.

With a snap, bones shattered explosively, sending Zeng Ping spinning away, struggling several times on the ground but failing to stand.

Chen Nan ignored Zeng Ping, turning to pluck the Breakthrough Flower. Just then, a Flying Sword and Fire Phoenix were upon him.

"Barbarian, that's my thing; don't even think of touching it!"

Feng Qingcheng transformed into a fiery meteor, dashing forward; Xiao Jian manipulated the Flying Sword from afar, drawing near likewise.

Chen Nan could disregard attacks from other cultivators, but not from Feng Qingcheng and Xiao Jian, both of extraordinary origin and formidable strength, worthy of the title of prodigies.

Thus, he swiftly retreated, while swatting the Flying Sword aside with a hammer and hurling a punch at the Fire Phoenix, tearing it apart with sheer power!

By this time, Feng Qingcheng and Xiao Jian had reached the vicinity of the Breakthrough Flower, forming a tripartite stance with Chen Nan, encircling it.

"Really underestimated you."

Feng Qingcheng was slightly surprised, even though she hadn't gone all out and was merely probing, Chen Nan easily dispelled their attack, showing his prowess equaling theirs.

Xiao Jian slightly nodded towards Chen Nan, without much surprise.

"Hey, Wood Xiao, aren't you amazed by the Barbarian's strength? Could it be you knew each other before?" Feng Qingcheng was puzzled.

Xiao Jian shook his head: "It's my first time meeting Brother Zhang San, but intuition tells me he's far from simple. If it weren't for the Secret Realm ahead, I would have definitely challenged Brother Zhang San."

Chen Nan raised his eyebrows, hearing that Sword Cliff was indeed a bunch of sword maniacs, clearly true.

Meeting Xiao Jian for the first time and he's already thinking of sparring.

"Tch, if you don't know each other, let skills determine it then!"

Feng Qingcheng snorted coldly, her body suddenly lifting off, with surrounding fiery golden flames gathering behind her, forming enormous flame wings, magnificent yet deadly.

The flame wings flapped, launching countless fiery arrows like a torrential storm, swiftly engulfing Chen Nan and Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian performed a sword technique, and his longsword radiated a blinding light, turning into a giant sword spanning several feet, slashing towards the flame wings with sheer force.

The fiery arrows striking the giant sword were instantly sliced to pieces by the Sword Qi!

Chen Nan summoned the Wind Pearl, pulling surrounding winds to his fore, conjuring a massive Moon Wheel Wind Blade, ripping through the fiery arrow deluge, creating a blank space.

Flying forward through the gap, he reached for the Breakthrough Flower.

The clash between giant sword and flame wings produced deafening explosions, with fiery splashes cascading down, igniting everything groundward into inferno within moments.

Feng Qingcheng's surging vitals weren't first intent on counterattacking but forming a Sealing Technique with her hands, condensing fiery golden flames into a splendid blossom, drifting towards Chen Nan.

As the Flame Flower neared Chen Nan, it exploded violently, its immense power sending Chen Nan flying.

Yet on the fly, he conjured mana to form a small shield, protecting the Breakthrough Flower from the explosion's might.

"You foolish woman, trying to destroy the Breakthrough Flower?"

Feng Qingcheng was startled, relieved only upon seeing the intact Breakthrough Flower.

"I was merely anxious… wait, did you just call me foolish?"

Suddenly her face flushed with anger, terrifying flames gathering once more in her hand, but as she and Chen Nan struggled, Xiao Jian stealthily reached the Breakthrough Flower.

"Nice move, Xiao Wood, trying to muddy the waters!"

The newly gathered flame instantly changed target, transforming into a Fire Phoenix in the air, storming towards Xiao Jian.

Chen Nan noticed Xiao Jian's move too, racing forth to intercept, swinging his giant hammer at Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian gripped his Flying Sword, which resonated with a thrilling hum - the sword was excited!

A slash sent forth, Sword Qi spanned like a rainbow, cleaving the Fire Phoenix!

The Flying Sword shot out thereafter, sweeping up gusts likened to a Sword Qi tornado, directed at Chen Nan.

With a loud crash, Chen Nan's giant hammer struck the Flying Sword, causing both him and Xiao Jian to recoil.

One is amazed by the astonishing force, the other by the sharpness of Flying Sword.

For the Silver Giant Hammer that had previously resisted any mark was now scarred profoundly.

But as they retreated, Feng Qingcheng charged towards the Breakthrough Flower, reaching out to pluck it.

"Haha, it's mine now!"

However, Chen Nan and Xiao Jian simultaneously flung their weapons; the Flying Sword ripped through the air, the giant hammer screeched, rapidly arriving in front of Feng Qingcheng!

"Damn it, so close!"

Reluctantly, Feng Qingcheng retreated swiftly, barely evading the combined attack of both.
