Chen Nan, ferocious as a tiger, was brimming with a killing aura as he strode through the void.
The three cultivators’ faces suddenly changed color.
They simply could not understand how a Ninth Layer Heavenly Realm martial artist could step through the void. Such an earth-defying method was something even they, as cultivators, could not achieve!
As they watched Chen Nan rush over, teeming with killing intent, the three cultivators quickly came to their senses and hastily controlled their flying swords to retreat while spewing out one cultivation treasure after another, hurling them towards Chen Nan.
Facing a sky full of swirling magic treasures, Chen Nan remained expressionless, his feet not pausing for a moment as he executed the Slaughter God Seven Steps, rapidly chasing after them.
With his first step, he was already five meters ahead.
With the second step, the distance grew even further.
The Slaughter God Seven Steps, when used in offense, each strike was stronger than the last, and the same was true when applied to footwork—with each step exceeding the prior one in distance and speed.
By the third step Chen Nan took, two cultivation treasures had already flown close to him.
With war intent surging, and dense killing aura enveloping the heavens and earth, he swung the Jade Lotus Platform in his hand fiercely, and the two cultivation treasures, as if made of porcelain, were instantly shattered into dust that scattered in the high skies.
The familiar, crisp sound echoed continuously in the sky, as one after another, the cultivation treasures turned into scrap metal under the bombardment of the Jade Lotus Platform.
Chen Nan did not slow his pace, and by the fifth step he had caught up to one of the cultivators.
The sky trembled as the Jade Lotus Platform summoned a violent force, smashing towards the face of the cultivator.
This cultivator was shocked; he knew none of his treasures could withstand the Jade Lotus Platform—the only hope lay in the flying sword beneath his feet.
But there, suspended in mid-air, his flying sword was completely incapable of launching an attack.
With a slight noise, the cultivator’s body landed on a tree branch, grabbing the flying sword in his hand and channeling all his strength into a chop towards Chen Nan.
Cultivators were not skilled in close combat, but he had been driven into a corner and, with Chen Nan bearing down on him, had no choice but to fight.
"Just a dying struggle!"
Chen Nan snorted coldly as the Jade Lotus Platform mercilessly smashed down.
The sword qi instantly shattered and the Jade Lotus Platform ferociously bombarded the sword, causing it to be covered with cracks at the sound of a snap.
Chen Nan didn’t give him a chance to breathe, the second strike was powerfully smashed down.
Without any suspense, the incredibly sharp flying sword was broken piece by piece in the blink of an eye, completely destroyed.
"Senior brother, save me!"
The cultivator screamed, but it was already too late.
In the instant the flying sword was shattered, Chen Nan’s Hunyuan Sword in his right hand had been raised high, sword qi crisscrossing as it slashed across his neck.
Blood sprayed in mid-air as the corpse plummeted, a human head falling to the ground and rolling more than ten meters away, eyes wide open in death.
Blood filled the void, staining the earth red.
"Give back my junior brother’s life!"
The other two cultivators had already landed on the ground. They each stimulated the highest-grade flying swords beneath their feet, flying towards Chen Nan to attack.
The flying swords ripped through the skies, sword qi raging.
Chen Nan’s face was filled with a cold smile.
If these two cultivators chose to flee using sword control, he might indeed have been unable to catch up, but blinded by hatred, they had opted to fight to the death, which was tantamount to seeking their own demise.
A blinding white light radiated from the Jade Lotus Platform, and a fierce killing aura cascaded down.
Chen Nan swung his arms relentlessly, opening and closing the platform in his hands. After several collisions, he had completely shattered the two flying swords.
The ancient and mighty Jade Lotus Platform, a divine artifact of exquisite splendor, was actually used by Chen Nan like a brick, brutally smashing and killing in all directions. If the Immortal Spirit Saintess knew about this, she would probably be so furious that she would leap out of her coffin, spit out three liters of blood, and then die of rage again.
"I’d like to see what else you’ve got!"
Chen Nan’s voice was frosty as he strode toward the two cultivators to kill them.
Only now did the two cultivators realize their situation, regretting not having fled earlier. Now that their flying swords were destroyed, they no longer had a chance to escape.
A loud roar dispelled the fear in their hearts.
The two cultivators continuously spat out various magic treasures, attacking Chen Nan.
However, under the bombardment of the Jade Lotus Platform, all treasures were like trash, easily destroyed.
Chen Nan continued to advance, and wherever the Jade Lotus Platform went, at least one, if not two, magic treasures were shattered. The two cultivators had many treasures, but they couldn’t withstand the destructive speed of the Jade Lotus Platform.
In just a few breaths, all the magic treasures were smashed into pieces, scattering copper and iron fragments all over the ground, a total mess.
With intense killing intent, Chen Nan dashed up close to the two men and swung down the Jade Lotus Platform.
These men tried to flee but couldn’t outrun Chen Nan. With no other option, they desperately resisted, channeling all their True Qi to strike against the Jade Lotus Platform.
Their True Qi collided, and a white light swirled around the Jade Lotus Platform, instantly crushing that immense force.
Chen Nan reversed the motion, slamming the Jade Lotus Platform directly in front of him.
Brains splattered as one cultivator was struck in the forehead by the Jade Lotus Platform, instantly meeting a violent death. His corpse fell to the ground, too gruesome to behold.
"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!"
The remaining cultivator screamed in panic, turning to flee, but Chen Nan didn’t give him the chance and raised his sword to deliver a strike.
Blood sprayed as the incredibly sharp sword edge descended from above, cleaving the man in two from head to toe.
Blood continuously flowed from the split corpse, immediately staining the ground red.
After killing three people, Chen Nan didn’t even blink, his cold gaze particularly ruthless, devoid of any emotion.
Dragging the blood-dripping Killing Sword, he turned to look in Hua Yunfei’s direction, but noticed that the boy had vanished, probably having taken the chance to flee upon seeing the bad situation.
"You think you can escape , too naive."
Chen Nan glanced at the ground and, holding the Killing Sword, strode quickly towards the east in pursuit.
Hua Yunfei, severely injured, was unable to fully utilize his Qinggong, leaving footprints on the ground.
Like a wild panther, Chen Nan raced through the forest at high speed. After chasing for a mile or two deeper into the mountains, he spotted Hua Yunfei.
"Let’s see where you can run to now. No one can save you today!"
But, when there was still about fifty meters between them, Hua Yunfei suddenly stopped, turned around, and laughed wildly, "Chen Nan, you’ve been tricked. You’re the one who’s going to die today!"
"Foolish tricks. You’re the one who will die!"
Chen Nan let out a cold shout and brandished his sword, charging at him.
"Let me enlighten you before you die. The ground you’re standing on has long been buried with explosives by me." Hua Yunfei laughed heartily, holding a remote detonator in his hand, his finger twitched, pressing the detonation button.
