Dashing Student Chapter 962: You Truly Deserve to Die

~5 minute read · 1,248 words

Boom!

The golden Buddha’s palm descended, immediately pinning several demonic cultivators to the ground. The Buddha light continuously melted away the demonic qi, like ice and snow melting.

Gui Li knew that he was done for this time. He never expected Chen Nan to possess such formidable strength, and both his spiritual artifacts and magic seemed to be aimed specifically at demon cultivators like them.

"No, I must escape quickly!"

He looked towards the entrance, where Xuan Hui was exuding golden light, intimidating without anger. Charging over seemed difficult.

Meanwhile, at the exit, Chen Nan was ruthlessly slaughtering all around, his actions merciless and terrifying.

"Everyone, attack! His cultivation realm is inferior to ours; let’s suppress him with our realm!"

Gui Li roared and was the first to charge at Chen Nan.

The other demonic cultivators saw this and clenched their teeth, rushing forward as well, knowing that if they didn’t kill Chen Nan, he would kill them.

Little did they expect, Gui Li, who led the charge, suddenly changed direction, dodging Chen Nan and darting towards the exit, his body transforming into a crimson flash.

"Gui Li, you despicable scoundrel!"

"Beast! You betrayed us; you truly deserve death!"

Realizing they had been deceived, the demonic cultivators cursed aloud, but they had already rushed up to Chen Nan, making retreat impossible.

The golden Buddha light fell upon them, causing a bone-piercing pain.

Immediately following, with a wave of Chen Nan’s hand, the Demon Suppressing Sword flew back into his grasp, and with a sweeping slash, the bodies of several demonic cultivators were instantly cut in two!

Turning to look at Gui Li, Chen Nan found that Gui Li had already reached the exit, on the verge of escaping the room.

"Don’t let him escape!"

Seeing the outcome settled, Nie Xiaoyu, who had been in shock, finally came back to her senses.

She never imagined that in less than a year, Chen Nan would be reborn with such formidable strength that even she had to look up to him.

Seeing Gui Li trying to escape, the fellow disciples who had died at his hands made her shout instinctively with indignation.

Chen Nan was momentarily stunned, then nodded slowly.

"Don’t worry, he won’t get away!"

"Chen Nan, I will remember you, and you just wait for our revenge!"

Before leaving, Gui Li turned to threaten, but just as he tried to flee, he suddenly found his body couldn’t move.

It felt as if something was holding him, a scorching sensation arose behind him.

His eyes almost rolled back, and in the corner of his eye, he finally saw that on his shadow, a few black flames were quietly burning.

"Is this... Mo Ying Flame?"

In recalling the characteristics of Mo Ying Flame, born from shadows and merging into shadows, Gui Li’s heart was filled with despair.

He exerted all his mana to break free, but Chen Nan wouldn’t give him that chance.

"I said anyone who harms Xiaoyu must die!"

With a blank expression, Chen Nan arrived in front of Gui Li, thrusting the Demon Suppressing Sword into Gui Li’s head, instantly absorbing the vengeful spirit within.

With the Demon Suppressing Sword, even exorcism was unnecessary.

After killing all the demonic cultivators, Chen Nan retracted the flames on his body and returned to Nie Xiaoyu, showing a gentle smile.

It was as if he was not the one who just slaughtered all the demonic cultivators like a god of death.

"So, how about now? I said you could leave them to me, and now you can rest assured, right?"

Nie Xiaoyu excitedly threw herself into Chen Nan’s arms, no longer caring about maintaining her reserve.

In the Nine Provinces world, strictly speaking, only the two of them were outsiders, sharing the same loneliness and longing.

"Thank you, on behalf of those Yuantian Sect disciples who died, thank you!"

Better not to have said this at all, as Tang Zhirou couldn’t bear to listen any longer.

"No need to thank Chen Nan for those people because Chen Nan won’t accept it. If it weren’t for you, Chen Nan might have been happy to see them in trouble."

Nie Xiaoyu heard the strangeness in the words and lifted her head to look at Chen Nan in confusion.

"Chen Nan, what really happened? Is there some misunderstanding between you and the Yuantian Sect?"

Although she was forcibly brought to the Yuantian Sect, during this time she had been cultivating within the sect, and its people treated her well.

Therefore, she bore no hatred towards the Yuantian Sect, even feeling somewhat grateful.

Chen Nan thought for a moment and decided to tell Nie Xiaoyu what had happened because these things could be easily found out.

When she heard that to find her, Chen Nan attended the Yuantian Sect’s disciple recruitment meeting, was made things difficult by Zhao Kai, targeted by Master Xuanming, forced to flee the Yuantian Sect, yet still pursued.

Even though Chen Nan brushed over many things, Nie Xiaoyu could still imagine the dangers he faced just by listening.

"I’m sorry, I... I didn’t know..."

Nie Xiaoyu was so anxious she was almost in tears. Just now she had thanked Chen Nan on behalf of the Yuantian Sect’s disciples, only to find that they didn’t deserve Chen Nan’s forgiveness at all.

"It’s not your fault; you didn’t know what happened," Chen Nan smiled, comforting her. "Besides, I only hold hatred for Master Xuanming, not the Yuantian Sect as a whole."

If it weren’t for Su Qingyue’s instant teleportation talisman, he might have died at the Yuantian Sect long ago.

Nie Xiaoyu quietly sighed in relief, but her heart was filled with guilt again: "I’m sorry, Chen Nan, you came here for me, yet I know nothing of your affairs."

"How many times have you apologized? You know that’s not what I want to hear; there’s no need for courtesy between us."

Chen Nan smiled, beginning to ask about Nie Xiaoyu’s life at the Yuantian Sect.

In Nie Xiaoyu’s account, Chen Nan learned how much importance the Yuantian Sect placed on her, virtually nurturing her as the next sect leader, offering her everything good first.

No wonder she felt such goodwill towards the Yuantian Sect.

"Chen Nan, once we leave the Ancient Realm Secret Realm, come back with me to the Yuantian Sect. With me around, Master Xuanming wouldn’t dare to do anything to you."

Nie Xiaoyu said earnestly, not wanting Chen Nan to suffer anymore.

"No, returning might even implicate you. Just keep pretending you don’t know me." Chen Nan shook his head. "I can feel that Master Xuanming seems to have a special obsession with me."

"It’s as if there’s something on me that he must have."

From the beginning, Chen Nan had that feeling, and now the more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

Otherwise, why would a Nascent Soul True Man relentlessly pursue a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Although Nie Xiaoyu wanted to insist, in the end, she only sighed, knowing that what Chen Nan said was true.

Even as a direct disciple of the sect leader, Xuanming Master could easily kill Chen Nan. Even if punished afterward, it wouldn’t be severe.

Thus, staying outside was relatively safer for Chen Nan.
