~5 minute read · 1,272 words

"Look, that’s Chen Nan!"

"No wonder he is called the Flame Demon, truly terrifying!"

"Such a fierce person ranking only tenth on the Hidden Dragon List? It’s too unfair!"

"Only such a ruthless person is worthy of the eldest daughter of Myriad Phenomena Commerce."

The cultivators at this moment held only admiration for Chen Nan, but when the mention of Shang Sanniang came up, some couldn’t help but feel unsettled.

Could it be that these prodigies of the heavens are not as good as a poor boy?

"Ah!"

The great demon let out a painful scream, hurriedly retreating and dropping Tu Susu.

As a Divine Soul, he had never felt such pain, as if his arm was abruptly eaten away, and the severed arm couldn’t regenerate at once.

His intuition was correct; the arm he lost was directly devoured by the Demon Suppressing Sword!

The rescued Tu Susu looked at Chen Nan with a strange expression, thinking she was about to die, yet unexpectedly saved from a desperate situation.

The one who saved her was also the one she intended to trouble, Chen Nan.

This left her conflicted yet slightly delighted in her heart.

However, Chen Nan ignored Tu Susu completely and instead looked at the Demon Suppressing Sword in his hand.

"Heh, indeed still so useful, the Demon Suppressing Sword truly is the nemesis of Divine Souls!"

Previously, when dealing with vengeful spirits, he had already experienced the might of the Demon Suppressing Sword, a divine weapon that slays gods at every turn.

It was just as effective against the great demon.

After all, the current great demon was a Divine Soul, utterly restrained by the Demon Suppressing Sword.

Chen Nan, wielding the Demon Suppressing Sword, charged forward again, his sword conjuring countless shadows, relentlessly cutting into the great demon’s body.

The great demon wished to cry but had no tears, initially dealing with the Hongmeng Origin Thunder was bad enough, and now this attacking sword was also so restraining!

Wounds left on the Divine Soul couldn’t heal!

At this moment, he finally felt fear.

"Don’t kill me, I can give you celestial-level cultivation techniques, help you become the supreme of the Nine Provinces!"

Seeing Chen Nan’s indifferent expression, he continued: "I also know many hidden treasures, I can take you to find them!"

"Whatever you need, I can give you!"

Yet Chen Nan looked at him coldly, his hands not stopping.

"You dared to harm Xiaoyu, I’ll make you pay back a hundredfold!"

One sword slashed down, another swept across, red light directly cleaved the great demon into four parts, unable to rejoin for a long time.

Immediately, with a flick of his finger, a dark flame fell on the great demon, starting to burn fiercely.

The Mo Ying Flame, born of shadows, could even use Divine Souls as fuel, and the great demon had run right into it.

Chen Nan was equipped with treasures that restrained Divine Souls.

The scorching pain drove the great demon mad, writhing in agony.

This pain was no less than lighting the sky lantern for the great demon.

"Do you really want mutual destruction? Even if my main body dies, I won’t let you off easily!"

The great demon reached a dead end, his Divine Soul starting to swell, evidently wanting to self-destruct the Divine Soul.

If he succeeded, Chen Nan’s shattered Divine Soul would be torn apart, and other cultivators would also be unable to escape.

"Do you think you can achieve that?"

Chen Nan stepped forward, stabbing his sword into the great demon’s body.

Instantly, the great demon’s body began to be absorbed madly by the Demon Suppressing Sword.

"No! What have you done, let me go..."

The great demon wailed, yet could not stop his ultimate fate, being completely absorbed by the Demon Suppressing Sword, turning into its nourishment.

With the great demon’s death, the array of the Water Moon Palace directly dissipated.

The sudden victory left other cultivators dumbfounded.

The once domineering great demon truly died at Chen Nan’s hands.

It could be said, without Chen Nan, everyone else would’ve been wiped out in this battle!

"The Flame Demon’s reputation is well-deserved!"

"We absolutely can’t provoke him, I’ve heard Chen Nan is very fierce, in one battle he killed over a hundred cultivators!"

"In this light, didn’t Chen Nan just save all of our lives?"

All the cultivators looked at Chen Nan in shock, not knowing what expression to wear.

Nie Xiaoyu, weakly stood up, looked at Chen Nan who slew the great demon, and suddenly smiled.

"Truly worthy of being my man."

After slaying the great demon, Chen Nan’s body was already exhausted, he sat down directly on the ground with the sword as support, drenched in sweat and blood.

The victory of this battle was due to his numerous methods for restraining Divine Souls.

If it truly were a mid-stage Golden Core Stage cultivator, he wouldn’t stand a chance.

A cultivator suddenly approached Chen Nan, surprisingly it was Wang Teng who insulted Chen Nan outside the secret realm.

Now he appeared somewhat humble: "Chen Nan, thank you, previously I was ignorant, please don’t hold it against me..."

Before he finished the last word, he suddenly brandished his longsword, eyes showing resentment and jealousy.

"Chen Nan, why are you so strong? Shang Sanniang can only be mine!"

Thud!

A sword pierced through the heart.

"Haha, I won, you are forever destined to be trodden under my feet, fool!"

Wang Teng laughed triumphantly, his smile twisted.

This scene left other cultivators in shock, they couldn’t believe Wang Teng was so vile, his actions akin to the Demon Path!

Moreover, during the deadly fight with the great demon, they didn’t see Wang Teng at all, evidently he was trying to exploit the chaos.

Demons unleashed by Wang Teng!

Thinking this, Wang Teng seemed utterly guilty, even the Demon Path origin Tu Susu found him despicable.

"You’re just trash!"

Though his heart had been pierced, Chen Nan shakily stood up, the Demon Suppressing Sword in his hand was swift, stabbing directly at Wang Teng!

This strike was too sudden; no one expected Chen Nan still had the strength to counterattack.

Unfortunately, just as the sword was about to pierce Wang Teng’s head, a golden light suddenly emerged from Wang Teng, blocking the sword.

Wang Teng was immediately shocked, looking at Chen Nan as if seeing a ghost, filled with fear, he turned and fled.

"Monster, you’re such a damn monster!"

In the blink of an eye, he had already fled far, quickly dashing towards the pond.

Now that the array had dissipated, anyone could leave the Moon Palace.

Chen Nan intended to give chase, this hidden threat staying alive would cause him many troubles.

However, being already exhausted and having his heart pierced, even after refining the Dry Tree and gaining formidable recovery power, he still needed some time to recuperate.

Thus, he could only watch as Wang Teng left the Water Moon Palace.

At this time, Zhang Yunyi, Chong Xiao, and several others came over, making Chen Nan instantly alert.

"Don’t misunderstand, we aren’t ingrates, we honestly want to thank you."

Chong Xiao hastily waved, bowing deeply to Chen Nan.

The meticulous Zhang Yunyi also cupped his hands in a salute, solemnly saying, "Indebted for your life-saving grace."

Only then did Chen Nan relax, sitting back down, "No need for thanks, just stay away from me!"
