"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Seeing Chen Nan suddenly shoot out some darts and then rush over, Qin Yixuan was still a bit slow to react.
Chen Nan did not answer her, instead, he increased his speed to the maximum, a faint white light emanating from his body, as he rushed toward the Porsche Cayenne like lightning.
The man in the car was a middle-aged man whose power was not weak, but being caught off-guard by Chen Nan’s sudden attack, he tried his best to dodge. However, his arm was still slashed by the dart.
The middle-aged man punched out, smashing the car’s front windshield and then jumped out, quickly running in the opposite direction.
Chen Nan shouted from behind and threw another dart.
The target, the middle-aged man’s back!
Feeling a bone-chilling aura hitting his back along with the sound of it piercing through the air, the middle-aged man’s expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged to the side, but it was still a step too slow. The dart, moving too fast, struck him in the back, causing his body to go limp, nearly making him fall face-first to the ground.
"Damn, he’s not dead yet!"
Seeing that the dart had not hit the middle-aged man’s heart, Chen Nan frowned slightly, the dart he had just thrown had been infused with Inner Strength and thrown without any sophisticated technique. He had thought it would be enough to kill the man, but he had underestimated his opponent, who was stronger than he had anticipated.
Chen Nan was about to go all out, but when he reached into his pocket, he frustratingly realized he had no more darts left.
"I’ll see where you can run to!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes as Chen Nan began to chase fiercely, and the distance between the two gradually closed.
Judging by the man’s speed and his ability to dodge the darts, Chen Nan could almost conclude that this middle-aged man also possessed the power of Qi Dao Seventh Heaven, the same realm as himself.
However, Chen Nan was confident that once he caught up, he could subdue the man within three moves, just like he had done with Wang Zhi before. Although both were in the Qi Dao Seventh Heaven, Chen Nan had grasped the True Essence of Martial Arts and possessed forbidden moves, making his combat strength unrivaled in his tier.
The two experts sprinted at high speed and in just two minutes, they arrived in a very secluded forest.
Seeing the middle-aged man now less than ten meters ahead, Chen Nan suddenly stomped on the ground, executing the Slaughter God Seven Steps, skyrocketing his speed to an extreme, with one stride he was already several meters away, and in just four steps, he caught up with the middle-aged man.
Chen Nan struck with his palm, his True Qi gushing like a roaring river, overwhelming, aiming for the man’s back.
The middle-aged man thought Chen Nan was still ten meters away, and hearing the loud shout right beside his ear startled him immensely. Without time to ponder why Chen Nan was so fast, he hurriedly maneuvered his True Qi to resist the attack.
The sound, like that of a bomb exploding, was audible as the immense force of the blast sent the middle-aged man flying, crashing through several large trees in the forest before he lay coughing up blood on the ground.
His combat strength was already inferior to Chen Nan’s, and with the hurried defence using less than half of his power, he could not withstand Chen Nan’s full-powered strike.
"Hand over the stuff and I’ll spare your life."
Chen Nan walked towards him with an expressionless face and an extremely cold tone.
The middle-aged man sneered and pulled out a scroll from his chest, "Is this what you want?"
Although Chen Nan did not know if the scroll was his junior sister’s, as long as it was a scroll, he would not let it go. "Give me the scroll, I won’t kill you."
The middle-aged man, swaying as he stood up, asked, "Are you serious?"
"Killing brings me no benefits; I only want the painting," Chen Nan said.
"What if you change your mind?"
Chen Nan let out a cold laugh and said disdainfully, "Believe it or not, that’s up to you. Your life is in my hands now; you are not in a position to negotiate with me."
After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man nodded, "Alright, I’ll trust you this time." He then threw the scroll toward Chen Nan.
Chen Nan, unable to wait, caught the scroll eagerly and hurried to unroll it to look. However, just as he opened the scroll and before he could make out the details, he felt a fierce wind strike from behind, turbulent and filled with killing intent.
There were other enemies besides this middle-aged man!
Chen Nan was shocked. The hand power arrived too suddenly, and it was incredibly fast. It was too late for him to dodge or defend; he had no choice but to channel his True Qi with all his might, using Protective True Qi to withstand the attack.
Just as Chen Nan unleashed his Protective True Qi, the hand power from behind brutally struck his back.
Despite his full effort to resist, the back was a vulnerable area. He was immediately shaken, blood spurting from his mouth, and his internal organs felt as if they were tearing apart. His body was thrown twenty to thirty meters away, finally crashing into a large tree before rolling down.
Though severely injured, Chen Nan still did not let go of the scroll in his hand.
Staggering to his feet, he stared ahead and saw a familiar figure—Gongsun Yudie!
No wonder the attack power was so formidable; it was her!
Strength of the Qi Dao Eighth Layer Heaven!
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Chen Nan truly regretted that he had been soft-hearted in the past, had treasured her, and had not killed her.
"You’re all in this together!" he said coldly, staring at Gongsun Yudie and the middle-aged man.
"To deal with you, I don’t need any help!"
Gongsun Yudie snorted coldly. Then, with a palm strike, a tidal wave of True Qi surged out, striking the middle-aged man and sending him flying more than ten meters away. He tumbled on the ground multiple times and lay motionless, whether dead or alive unknown.
"Now it’s your turn."
Staring at Chen Nan, Gongsun Yudie, emitting blue Protective True Qi, walked toward him step by step. "I will return the humiliation you caused me, doubled!"
Chen Nan, leaning against a nearby tree, asked, "What? Do you also want to strip off my clothes?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yudie, as if her Reverse Scale had been touched, yelled angrily and charged forward, "You’re asking for death!"
Chen Nan wanted to put away the scroll, but with time pressing, it was already too late. He had no choice but to hold the scroll with one hand and prepare to face Gongsun Yudie’s attack with the other.
He was very clear in his mind; with his severe injuries, if he did not unleash his strongest power, it would probably be difficult to fend off Gongsun Yudie.
"Damn woman, you forced this on me!"
Chen Nan roared in anger. His True Qi burst forth in an instant, his Protective True Qi flaming vigorously. His originally white True Qi turned into purple-golden True Qi in a split second, while strands of lightning, each the size of a finger, flickered continuously around his body, like the Duke of Thunder descending, both divine and demonic.
With the booming sound of thunder in his voice, Chen Nan swung his right palm, and the purple-golden True Qi surged out instantly. A purple lightning strike appeared in his palm, mingled with unparalleled hand power and the sound of wind and thunder, bombing towards Gongsun Yudie.
