Dashing Student Chapter 970: Source Thunder’s Display of Power

~5 minute read · 1,135 words

Zhang Yunyi truly deserves the title of a top Taoist disciple; the magic he cultivates inflicts considerable damage on heretical demons and souls alike.

"Golden Light Spell!"

He shouted again in a low voice, gathering golden light at his fingertips that collided with the demon like fireflies.

Instantly, several wounds appeared on the demon’s body, refusing to heal for a long time.

Tu Susu’s bone whip quickly extended and wrapped around the demon, continuously tightening as it absorbed a significant amount of demonic qi from the demon.

But ultimately, the demon was merely a spirit soul, making ordinary physical attacks futile—his body drifting apart like shadows, only to gather anew.

Not only did it evade the bone whip’s entanglement, but even the places wounded by Zhang Yunyi earlier healed as if nothing had happened.

"Blood Arrow!"

Miao Tianwen shouted, sending several blood arrows whistling through the air, piercing fiercely through the demon’s body, but the wounds healed in an instant.

More attacks rained down, but the demon accepted them all, even sporting a mocking smile at the corner of its mouth.

"When I roamed the Nine Provinces, your ancestors hadn’t even been born. You think you can handle me?"

His eyes focused sharply, and the most serious Zhang Yunyi gave a sudden muffled groan, as the demon instantly appeared before him and kicked him violently, sending the Taoist disciple flying.

Following this, the demon launched a spirit soul attack, almost causing Tu Susu to collapse.

Like a wolf among sheep, the demon charged into the Cultivators, relying on his powerful Divine Soul Power as he battled fiercely, even capturing a Cultivator and refining him.

Chen Nan had not made a move; he was observing—looking for a weakness in the demon.

Finally, at the cost of ten Cultivators, he discovered one thing—the demon’s Divine Soul Power was constantly being consumed!

The demon’s corporeal form had dissipated, essentially losing its foundation. When its soul was wounded, it could only repair using Divine Soul Power, unable to regenerate.

Even weak Cultivators, possessing a physical body, could slowly recover their soul after being damaged, but the demon could not.

Though his Divine Soul Power was strong, once it was used, it lessened permanently.

"Everyone move aside!"

Chen Nan suddenly bellowed, directly crossing the crowd as thunder wings spread rapidly behind him.

All eyes fell on Chen Nan; they couldn’t fathom his plan in attempting to challenge the demon alone.

"Ant!"

The demon unleashed a spirit soul attack, causing immense pain to surge through Chen Nan’s body, nearly knocking him to the ground, yet he steadfastly endured, reaching within three meters of the demon in the blink of an eye.

"Go!"

Chen Nan flicked his finger, sending a dot of white light flying towards the demon, seemingly harmless.

Yet the demon’s expression changed abruptly because he felt a massive threat from that dot of white light.

"Is this... Hongmeng Origin Thunder?!"

His voice altered, attempting to retreat, but the white source thunder suddenly accelerated, striking him directly like a flash of lightning.

In a flash, dazzling white thunder exploded, even dispersing the dark clouds in the sky.

Crack!

The void seemed to split, with a mighty heavenly awe descending, causing a compulsion to kneel, while an infinite power of destruction erupted forth.

Everyone stared in awe at the surge of white thunder, feeling it churn a storm within their hearts.

Had they been under the white thunder, not even their bones would remain!

"Who is he? Too fierce!"

"So among us, there was a hidden powerhouse?"

"No, he... he is Chen Nan!"

At this moment, Chen Nan’s hat and veil fell away. Unconcerned with maintaining anonymity now, his true appearance was revealed and immediately recognized by the sharp-eyed Cultivators.

"It’s him!"

Faces changed for Zhang Yunyi, Chong Xiao, and others.

Gu Ming felt particularly aggrieved.

Despite challenging him in East Qing City for so long, Chen Nan never responded, making Gu Ming a laughingstock; little did he know Chen Nan was present all along but chose to ignore him.

"Utter humiliation; once we’re out, I’ll definitely challenge you again!"

Everyone harbored different thoughts; meanwhile, Chen Nan gazed at them as if they were fools.

"Attack quickly, what are you doing?!"

The next moment, the white thunder dissipated, revealing the demon again but looking incredibly haggard now.

Numerous cracks appeared on his soul, which even Divine Soul Power couldn’t mend.

Moreover, his demonic qi had nearly dissipated due to this strike.

Remember, this was Hongmeng Origin Thunder, something even lightning tribulations lacked, while he was just a soul yet survived, proving his soul’s resilience.

"Damn it, insignificant ants managed to push me this far; consider yourselves honored!"

The demon bellowed, gathering massive demonic qi into a giant palm, smashing it forcefully onto Chen Nan, burying him into the ground.

This shook the Cultivators awake, understanding Chen Nan’s earlier anger and why he viewed them as fools.

A perfect chance was created to severely injure the demon, yet they merely stared in shock, indeed akin to idiots.

Thus they charged once more, even if injured, insisting on casting magic without resting till their mana was exhausted.

After being heavily injured by the Hongmeng Origin Thunder, the demon lost his previous composure, eventually falling into adversity.

"Chen Nan! Are you okay?"

Tang Zhirou arrived at Chen Nan’s location, helping him up.

Pain was evident on Chen Nan’s face; the demon’s attack targeted the soul, making him feel as if his soul would shatter. The previous palm strike had also broken several bones, causing blood and qi to churn.

After unleashing Hongmeng Origin Thunder, his mana was nearly depleted, leaving him pale-faced.

"I’m fine, just a bit drained."

Chen Nan smiled, pulling out numerous Revitalizing Pills and Replenishing Essence Pills from his storage bag, while simultaneously recovering and replenishing his mana.

As for elixir pills that healed the soul, he had none on hand, forcing him to endure the searing pain.

Just then, a figure crashed heavily beside Chen Nan.

Chen Nan looked over to find Nie Xiaoyu.

Clearly, Nie Xiaoyu also suffered a soul attack, appearing in excruciating agony, blood dripping from her mouth.

Seeing this, Chen Nan felt his blood boil, standing up suddenly.

"Senior Sister, take care of Xiaoyu."

Chen Nan turned to face the demon, never having been this angry despite his own injuries.

"Heaven-Burning Transformation!"

He roared, golden flames surging up, spreading terrifying heat.

Holding the Demon Suppressing Sword, Chen Nan charged directly at the demon.

At that moment, the demon was preparing to blood refine Tu Susu, but a streak of fire suddenly arrived, slicing off his arm with one strike!
