School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1891 - 1977: Outer Domain Battlefield 14
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
In the vast void, strange stones rose like towering pillars, creating a truly spectacular sight. Astonishingly, these peculiar stones possessed a life force, continuously expanding.
Chen Nan observed them, unable to fully grasp their nature.
"These are Void Strange Stones. Their origin in this void and their continuous growth remain a mystery. However, these stones boast remarkable toughness and occasionally lash out, entangling passersby, making it exceedingly difficult even for ordinary divine artifacts to cleave them."
Blood Kill surveyed the Void Stone Forest, cautioning, "Nanchen, you and Fellow Daoist Ou must remain vigilant. The experts from your royal lineage have never ventured into this Star Domain and are unaware of its perils. You might come to regret any carelessness too late."
Chen Nan looked towards Ou Yifei, "Stay close behind me later; this stone forest feels rather peculiar."
Ou Yifei chuckled, "Worry not. My current strength is not significantly inferior to yours. You should be the one to exercise caution."
The plump and gaunt supreme beings could no longer contain themselves, exclaiming, "Are you deliberately trying to provoke us? Flaunting affection so openly with such an exquisite beauty—have you no consideration for others' feelings?"
"What preposterous nonsense are you spouting?" Chen Nan and Ou Yifei's voices echoed in unison.
The two supreme beings were left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Just then, a group of dozens of individuals rapidly approached from a distance, reaching the edge of the Void Stone Forest in a mere blink of an eye.
Among these numerous heavenly beings, there were precisely five supreme beings, with the remainder comprising formidable Heavenly Monarch Realm cultivators and exceptionally powerful individuals.
The leader among the five supreme beings, adorned in a purple robe and golden crown, halted abruptly. He cast a scrutinizing glance at Blood Kill and his entourage, completely dismissing Chen Nan and Ou Yifei.
"Blood Kill, we truly are fated to meet. Are you intending to hunt the Void Ancient Dragon? Honestly, your Blood Martial Hall only fields five supreme beings. You are forced to leave one behind in the palace for each expedition; truly a challenging predicament."
The purple-robed, golden-crowned supreme, possessing delicate features and handsome looks, uttered words that were decidedly sharp.
After addressing Blood Kill Supreme, he briefly surveyed Chen Nan and Ou Yifei. "If you lack sufficient supremes, it's acceptable to fill the ranks with half-step supremes. However, do you truly intend to send these Heavenly Monarch Realm cultivators to their demise?"
The green-robed supreme at his side also sneered, "I fear the Void Ancient Dragon would tear them asunder with a single claw. It would be a shame if their remains were to pollute this magnificent starry expanse."
Internally, Chen Nan felt a surge of excitement. Now that he had infiltrated the Heavenly People clan, he naturally desired heightened conflict. The more chaotic the situation, the better, as it would mean fewer of his own kind would suffer later.
Although he acknowledged that Blood Kill and Supreme Blood Blade were decent individuals with strong ambitions, they represented the most formidable adversaries.
Should more of these highly skilled and resolute supremes within the Heavenly People clan perish, the likelihood of the Fourth-level World evading an attack would significantly increase.
Chen Nan immediately feigned agitation, pointing a finger at the Purple Robed Golden Crowned Heavenly People Supreme. "Pretty boy, I advise you to watch your tongue. Whether I'm torn to shreds or not is none of your damned business."
In the current era, de-escalating a volatile situation requires considerable finesse; acting as a catalyst demands true skill. One cannot simply instigate an immediate explosion without appearing overtly suspicious.
Conversely, mere cowardice is also unacceptable. Chen Nan's goal was to project the image of an unyielding powerhouse within the Heavenly People clan, one who had reached his limit but was not rash. He understood that impulsive actions or vulgar insults would be classless, especially considering he presented himself as a man of cultivation.
The instant Chen Nan uttered these words, the Purple Robed Golden Crowned Heavenly People Supreme erupted in fury, unleashing a divine skill directly at Chen Nan.
Chen Nan remained utterly resolute, planted firmly in his position, with no intention of evading the attack.
At his mental command, the Desolate Divine Dragon Armor materialized from within his body, enveloping his skin. This transformation remained imperceptible to the supreme beings present.
'Come, strike this old man; it will aid me in refining the essence of the True Body of the Dragon Emperor predecessor contained within this armor,' Chen Nan mused inwardly.
He secretly hoped for his opponents to take action.
It was abundantly clear that these supreme beings were sworn enemies of the Blood Martial Hall. The current encounter presented an exceptional opportunity.
"Boom!"
A tremendous explosion rent the void before Chen Nan.
Both Chen Nan and Ou Yifei were violently propelled backward by the shockwave, traveling hundreds of steps before coming to a halt.
The Blood Kill Supreme withdrew his hand, gripping the Supreme Sacred Weapon. He pointed it towards the Purple Robed Golden Crowned Heavenly People and declared, "Jin Muchen, your Xuantian Sect’s arrogance knows no bounds. To attack our Blood Martial Hall’s Blood Dragon Envoy without a word—if our Hall Master were present, you wouldn’t escape with your life."
Previously, Blood Kill had been amicable while conversing with Chen Nan and the others. However, when it came to combat, he displayed no apprehension. He had just managed to block Jin Muchen’s divine skill and, in doing so, casually revealed Chen Nan’s identity, a clear act of intimidation.
A peculiar gleam flickered in Jin Muchen’s eyes. "Blood Kill, do you take me for a fool? After your Blood Martial Hall’s Blood Dragon Envoy met their end thousands of years ago, their lineage ceased. Now you assert that this greenhorn is the new Blood Dragon Envoy?"
"Is that unbelievable? Brother Nanchen is indeed the new Blood Dragon Envoy of our Blood Martial Hall. Furthermore, he and the lady beside him share another important identity: they are members of the Tiger Ben Guards, serving under the Fu Emperor."
Supreme Blood Blade stepped forward, completing the statement. He then turned to Chen Nan, instructing, "Brother Nanchen, please present the Blood Dragon Order and show it to this scoundrel Jin."
Chen Nan found himself utterly speechless...
'Good heavens, these individuals from the Blood Martial Hall truly disregard all conventions. Isn't this the juncture where a grand battle should commence?'
'What a perplexing predicament!'
Since Blood Blade had issued the command, Chen Nan had no alternative. With a mental exertion, the Blood Dragon Order materialized in the void before him.
The Blood Dragon Order radiated a formidable aura, suffusing the surrounding void with a palpable scent of blood.
"Madmen! Your Blood Martial Hall are utter lunatics to bestow the Blood Dragon Order upon a mere Heavenly Monarch."
Jin Muchen’s expression had already shifted upon learning that Chen Nan and Ou Yifei were members of the Tiger Ben Guards under the Fu Emperor. Witnessing Chen Nan reveal the Blood Dragon Order only solidified his understanding.
At this precise moment, Jin Muchen comprehended that proceeding with an attack was no longer feasible. Yet, he remained perplexed as to why the Blood Martial Hall would appoint an invincible Heavenly Monarch as their Blood Dragon Envoy. If their intention was to leverage the Fu Emperor’s influence, that strategy was flawed.
In comparison to the Fu Emperor, the Blood Martial Hall’s strength was minuscule. Moreover, the Fu Emperor could not be easily manipulated; the Blood Martial Hall would have to be insane to attempt such an affiliation.
"Jin Muchen, if you refuse to act, then kindly depart!" Supreme Blood Blade gestured towards the Void Stone Forest ahead.
"Cowards, easily intimidated by a mere stone forest in the void!" Jin Muchen uttered a sarcastic remark towards Chen Nan and his companions before proceeding into the Void Stone Forest.
Throughout this entire exchange, the stout and the slender Supremes maintained their silence. As Chen Nan observed their departure, he approached them proactively. "Why did you two refrain from speaking earlier?"
The slender Supreme chuckled softly. "These old foxes from the Xuantian Sect always seek to win arguments through words rather than deeds. I was merely engaged in a wager with the late, great chubby one; you understand how such bets conclude."
The stout Supreme snorted in response. "Skinny Master will not bicker with you. These Xuantian Sect members will inevitably face us in a real confrontation, and by then, I shall reclaim everything! Damn it, this situation infuriates me."
As their conversation concluded, the dozens of Heavenly People from the Xuantian Sect had already traversed the Void Stone Forest.
