~5 minute read · 1,253 words

The demon cultivator was still laughing smugly, as if he could already foresee Chen Nan’s miserable death.

But gradually, his laughter became weaker.

Because Chen Nan, who had come into contact with the poisonous fog, was still standing there perfectly fine.

Chen Nan smiled slightly, the poisonous fog on the iron hook had seeped into his body from his skin’s pores, only to be completely swallowed by the King of Ten Thousand Gu.

"Dealing with you guys, Foundation Establishment Stage Level Seven is more than enough."

Seeing Chen Nan’s calm demeanor, the demon cultivator was dumbfounded and exclaimed repeatedly, "Impossible, why don’t you show any signs of poisoning?"

"You mean this thing?"

Chen Nan grabbed the iron hook, and with a sudden force of his five fingers, the strength of over ten thousand pounds concentrated on his palm, causing the hook to twist and deform instantly, like a lump of scrap iron thrown to the ground.

"You... you actually destroyed my Spiritual Artifact? You’re courting death!"

The attacking demon cultivator was in great pain as a ball of black fog condensed in his palm and flew towards Chen Nan, with a grim face looming within the fog.

Chen Nan snorted coldly, clasped his hands together, and jet-black flames gushed from his chest, spraying out like a celestial maiden scattering flowers and quietly burning throughout the Martial Arts Arena.

Immediately following, golden flames surged forth, enveloping him in an instant, releasing terrifying heat and transforming him into the fearsome "Flame Demon"!

Nie Xiaoyu stopped in her tracks, staring dazedly at the majestic figure, seemingly more reliable than ever before.

The black fog approached, only to be caught directly by Chen Nan, the flames surging and dissolving the fog in an instant.

Before the demon cultivator could react, Chen Nan’s figure appeared ghost-like beside him, delivering a punch that smashed the demon cultivator’s head with terrifying force.

Under the terrifying heat, the blood instantly evaporated, and the headless body fell heavily to the ground.

Chen Nan turned to look at Gui Li and the others, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

"You injured Xiaoyu, so I’ll take your lives!"

Gui Li’s expression was extremely grim, he hadn’t expected Chen Nan’s strength to far exceed his own realm, even he felt alarmed and frightened.

"You... You’re Chen Nan, ranked tenth on the Hidden Dragon List!"

"Correct." Chen Nan said expressionlessly, "Your reward is a ball of fire."

He pointed his finger upwards, a burning flame coalescing in mid-air, emitting a terrifying heat before hurtling down like a falling star!

Star Fall!

This spell, acquired from Wu Yuan, the steward of the City Lord Mansion in Luoxian City, was a perfect match with Chen Nan’s Heaven-Burning Flame, unleashing terrifying power.

Gui Li’s pupils shrank suddenly, and they hurriedly retreated, as did the others, who scattered quickly.

Boom!

The flame hit the ground, spreading a ring of fire in an instant; the demon cultivators caught in it jumped up, trying desperately to extinguish the fire with their demonic energy, looking extremely disheveled.

When they looked towards Chen Nan’s direction, they found that he had disappeared from his original spot, only to reappear emerging from the shadow of a demon cultivator.

The Mo Ying Flame burned soundlessly, blending into the shadows, becoming Chen Nan’s points of teleportation.

A howling Wind Blade released from his hand, like a large knife, slashing forward the moment he appeared, beheading the demon cultivator in front of him.

Another whirlwind gathered, and the disbelieving face on the severed head was instantly torn apart by the vortex.

In the blink of an eye, two demon cultivators lost their lives, without even having the chance to fight back, causing a jolt of dread in Gui Li’s heart; Chen Nan was far stronger than he imagined!

"With such strength, ranked only tenth on the Hidden Dragon List?!"

He cursed inwardly, seeing Chen Nan about to strike again, he hurriedly summoned a small black bell.

The bronze bell flew out, initially palm-sized but grew to over a person’s height mid-air, its surface shimmering with pitch-black light, filled with dense demonic energy.

"Strike together!"

Gui Li roared fiercely, forming seals with his hands, and from the black bell erupted vengeful spirits shrouded in black mist, screeching sharply as they clawed menacingly towards Chen Nan!

The other demon cultivators unleashed their own techniques; waves of surging demonic energy, and an array of demonic Spiritual Artifacts like the Blood Blade Knife, Bone Cutting Sword, and Soul Chasing Rope hurled towards Chen Nan!

Demonic qi enveloped Chen Nan like a storm, causing Nie Xiaoyu and Tang Zhirou, who were watching, to feel deeply anxious.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared before Nie Xiaoyu: a demon cultivator, taking advantage of Chen Nan being held up, sought to eliminate Nie Xiaoyu and the others first.

Nie Xiaoyu, already injured, was caught off guard and only noticed the attack when the demon cultivator was right in front of her.

But just then, a golden light descended abruptly, fiercely striking the demon cultivator and sending him flying, the demonic energy on him mostly dissolved by the golden light.

Xuan Hui stood bathed in Buddha Light, resembling a statue from a temple, exuding an aura of solemnity and sanctity.

"Amitabha, this humble monk vowed to protect those under Chen benefactor’s care, but that doesn’t mean this monk won’t get angry. Do you really wish for me to also target you?"

The demon cultivator struck by the light clutched his chest in frustration; dealing with Chen Nan alone was enough, who would’ve thought there’d be a great monk not weaker than Chen Nan?

Crucially, the Buddhist Sect’s magic had a great restraining effect on them demon cultivators.

So he could only glare resentfully at Xuan Hui, before turning to join in on besieging Chen Nan.

Standing at the storm’s center, Chen Nan, eyeing the numerous wraiths in the sky, merely snorted coldly. With a thought, the Demon Suppressing Sword flew out, radiating intense red light.

Having absorbed countless wraiths in an ancient temple, the Demon Suppressing Sword had undergone a transformative change, now possessing absolute suppression over wraiths and malevolent entities.

Once the wraiths touched the red light, they emitted shrill screams as their forms began to disintegrate, forcibly absorbed by the Demon Suppressing Sword.

Originally wild and bloodthirsty, the wraiths now fled shrieking.

Chen Nan gripped the Demon Suppressing Sword with both hands, and as the demonic artifacts approached, he swung down, the intense red light cleaving directly through the dense demonic qi.

The magic artifacts summoned by the demon cultivators were all shattered with a single stroke!

"What... what kind of sword is that?"

Gui Li’s eyes widened with shock, the sword seemed to be the nemesis of their Demon Path!

"Go!"

After the sword strike, Chen Nan pointed upwards, and the Demon Suppressing Sword transformed into a crimson light, piercing fiercely into the black bronze bell.

Cracks spread across the bell, eventually shattering with a bang, and the countless wraiths within wailed as they were absorbed by the Demon Suppressing Sword.

"Great Compassion Buddha Palm!"

Mana surged within Chen Nan, the Shariputra floating above his head, emanating endless Buddha Light.

A golden palm thrust out from the Buddha Light, slamming down on the demon cultivators like a golden mountain descending!
