School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 2357 - 2443: Pawn

The Poison Empress Zhu Ruoyan had a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but she did not stop Li Liushui.

"Sacrifice Secret Technique, you actually dare to use the Sacrifice Secret Technique; it will cost you your cultivation by burning it. Even if you’re a strong person among the Middle Heavenly Rank, once you use this secret technique, your cultivation will greatly decline, possibly even falling out of the Heavenly Position Realm."

The Sword Saint Lu Qingshan’s eyes flickered with disbelief, as if having seen a ghost.

"Since I use this secret technique, how could I not know the result?"

A voice came from within the kitchen knife: "But, exchanging my retreat in cultivation for the safety of the one I love and my brothers, I, Li Liushui, gained a lot."

Chen Nan glanced at the Poison Empress Zhu Ruoyan, then at the kitchen knife in the void continually emanating a terrifying power, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, "Li Liushui truly understands love more than Lu Qingshan."

"Brother Shui, this battle will surely come at a cost. Back then, when my appearance was ruined, I had to leave you. Today, however, I am also tired; I’ve seen what I pursue is worthless in others’ eyes. I want to go back with you."

Zhu Ruoyan gave a faint smile, "Your cultivation declines, I will stand by your side, as long as I live, no one in this world can bully you."

Her words seemed like muttering to herself, yet also sounded like a promise.

At this moment, the Ancient Divine Worm was being held in Lu Qingshan’s hands.

In the next second, the kitchen knife moved.

Once the kitchen knife moved, it was as if the wind followed the tiger, and clouds followed the dragon, an overwhelmingly terrifying power surged from the kitchen knife.

Power of a single strike, terrifying indeed.

Directly slashing towards the Sword Saint Lu Qingshan.

This strike aimed to cut through Lu Qingshan, to cleave the Infinite Divine Stone World, to slash through this realm.

"Stealing Heavenly Secrets, Brother Knife, in a situation like this, it is the perfect time to defy the Heavenly Dao and seize heavenly secrets."

Chen Nan hurriedly reminded, for his grasp on the path of Stealing Heavenly Secrets was far stronger than many strong people of the Heavenly Position.

In such a moment, it was indeed a great time to seize heavenly secrets.

Upon Chen Nan’s reminder, countless stronger powers in the void immediately surged into the kitchen knife.

Between Heaven and Earth, the winds and clouds changed color.

"Lu Qingshan, if I don’t fight to the death with you today, then Li Liushui will write his name backwards."

The Knife God roared, and within the kitchen knife, countless flashes of light flickered, with power raging ferociously.

"One Strike Slaying God!"

"One Sword Flying Immortal!"

The next moment, from the void came countless raging voices.

Between Heaven and Earth, the explosive force was like thunder.

The Sword Saint Lu Qingshan, holding a broken Immortal Sword, Knife God Li Liushui transformed within an antique kitchen knife.

One strike, one sword.

One borrowed the Power of Heaven and Earth, the other burned bodily cultivation.

This strike and sword performed the strongest clash in the void.

"Boom..."

An energy pulse exploded in the void, centered on the strike and sword.

In a rush, Chen Nan’s Divine Power formed a light shield on his body to protect his vitals.

The Poison Empress Zhu Ruoyan waved her hand, and not far in front of her body, a wall of Gang Wind formed, blocking the explosive strong power.

Chen Nan blocked this pulse of energy, hurriedly looking towards the place where the knife and sword collided.

But when he looked, he was dumbfounded.

Where the knife and sword collided, a blinding light flickered.

In the center of that flickering light, there appeared a piece of beast hide.

However, that beast hide was unlike any Chen Nan had ever seen.

On it, countless runes flickered, and countless points of light shone.

"Brother Knife, are you still alive?" Chen Nan was secretly shocked but more concerned about Li Liushui’s life or death.

"Cough, cough..."

A coughing sound came, and not far away, Li Liushui lay on the ground, weakly breathing, his eyes tightly closed.

Chen Nan laughed lightly, "It’s good that you’re not dead."

For a strong person like Li Liushui, as long as his Divine Soul wasn’t extinguished, dying was indeed quite difficult, seeing him now, his cultivation stepped back, but he definitely wouldn’t die.

Not far away, the Sword Saint Lu Qingshan also lay on the ground, not much better than Li Liushui, his body covered in injuries, still vomiting blood, yet a greedy light flickered in his eyes as he struggled to get up.

However, he was too heavily injured, at this moment unable to recover, just barely hanging on.

"Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map... it’s mine!"

He struggled once more to get up, only to thud back to the ground.

Chen Nan reached out and took the beast hide in his hand, looking carefully at it, the hide was filled with countless runes and light spots, but a map was nowhere to be seen.

"Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map?"

Chen Nan mused, looking at Li Liushui, who was severely injured, the Poison Empress Zhu Ruoyan holding Li Liushui, said, "The Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map, made from the forehead hide of the ancient ferocious beast Kui Niu during the ancient times, holds a great treasure of Heaven and Earth, created by ancient sages for future generations. In times of chaos, Spirit Treasure Maps crafted from the hides of the Four Great Beasts will be revealed by the fate of Heaven and Earth. We are quite lucky."

"Kui Niu, Chaos, Taowu, Qiongqi, these Spirit Treasure Maps crafted from the hides of the Four Great Beasts are coveted supreme treasures by all strong people in the Hundred Clan Domain. The appearance of the Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map suggests that the other three ferocious beasts’ maps should also appear soon, or have already appeared. Once these four maps are gathered together, they reveal the earth-shattering inheritance left by the supreme strong people of ancient times. Rumor has it, this inheritance is the only key to entering the Great World today."

The Poison Empress took a deep breath, unable to avoid some nervousness as she spoke.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Realms, the vast universe’s Great World, is a Holy Land of Cultivation, a place everyone longs for.

Those who once descended to the Hundred Clan Domain in the battle against heavenly punishment seek to return, and countless cultivators who have never reached the Great World also wish to enter.

Because, only within the Great World can one pursue the highest, one day even the Heavenly Dao cannot bind them.

"Key..."

Chen Nan felt that whether one could enter the Great World depended on fate; his mentor, the Original Heavenly Emperor, had visited the Haotian Realm, and Chen Nan himself was slightly tempted to see it too.

To reach the realm of a strong person in cultivation naturally means the desire to pursue an even stronger realm.

"Hand over the Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map to me, or when I leave this Infinite Divine Stone World, I’ll make sure you can neither live nor die."

The Sword Saint Lu Qingshan was utterly crazed.

His Divine Power had collapsed, leaving him only with the weak strength to curse.

"With just you, this waste?"

Chen Nan laughed and said, "Initially, I thought of killing you, but since you took care of my brother’s wife all these years, besides, I still have a use for you."

Chen Nan looked at the Sword Saint Lu Qingshan, a smile at the corner of his mouth. This person was indeed an indispensable piece in his plan.
