Dashing Student

Chen Nan led everyone for several days, finally reaching Xiu Yun Village.

But before they got close, he saw from afar that outside Xiu Yun Village, men in black robes were tormenting several cultivators.

"Follow me to save them!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Nan led Noige, the old priest, and other cultivators to the rescue.

As they approached, he heard Chang Qing’s cries, which ignited his anger. He rushed in like a sharp blade, abruptly piercing into the battlefield!

Chang Qing, who was nearly killed, was now crying hysterically, with emotions like grievance and fear surging out all at once.

"Chen Nan, why are you only coming now?"

She cried uncontrollably, but couldn’t help but smile slightly.

It was as if Chen Nan’s arrival could solve everything.

"You look ugly when you cry."

Chen Nan teased, his broad figure shielding Chang Qing behind him, saying without looking back, "Leave it to me."

The two Golden Core Stage black-robed men who were watching were suddenly stunned, taking a moment to react to what had happened.

"Kid, courting death!"

The black-robed man, with a smile as venomous as a snake, let out a cold snort and immediately released an Illusion Gu.

Yet the Illusion Gu, which was usually unstoppable, froze and couldn’t move upon nearing Chen Nan, as if it had been paused like a video.

Chen Nan reached out and easily grasped the Illusion Gu with two fingers, so much so that he could see the patterns on his fingers through the Gu, like a crystal.

"Hey, that’s a precious Illusion Gu, don’t kill it, save it for me,"

Chang Qing, still crying, didn’t forget to remind Chen Nan.

"Illusion Gu?"

Chen Nan looked at the small insect in his hand with surprise, knowing that he himself didn’t comprehend Illusion Techniques until perfecting his cultivation in the "Heavenly Fox Form".

But a Gu Master, by relying on this small Gu insect, could cast illusions, making Chen Nan envious.

This scene made the black-robed man who released the Gu insect drop his jaw in shock: "What... what’s happening? Why isn’t my Gu insect obeying?"

"You little brat, give me back my Gu insect!"

This Illusion Gu had cost him almost all his assets to finally refine, and it was the apple of his eye. It pained him greatly for it to be taken so easily.

Chen Nan chuckled coldly and casually tossed the Illusion Gu to Chang Qing.

"Want it? Come and get it yourself!"

"How dare you!"

A shout of anger resounded behind Chen Nan, as a female Gu Master leapt from the ruins, flying into the air, covered in dust, her gaze towards Chen Nan practically spitting fire.

A Gu insect flew out of her eye, heading straight for Chen Nan.

"Watch out!"

Chang Qing, who had tasted the power of the Blood Bomb Gu, was suddenly startled and hurriedly called out, but it was already too late.

Bang!

The Blood Bomb Gu exploded upon nearing Chen Nan, flames instantly engulfing him.

"Haha, just a Foundation Establishment Stage kid, and you dare to injure me? Let’s see if you’re dead now!"

The female Gu Master laughed maniacally in the air, even stirring the Flying Moth Gu Worm to flutter its wings, sending several Wind Blades into the blaze.

Moments later, the flames dispersed, but the scene the female Gu Master anticipated didn’t appear.

Chen Nan still stood there, only his clothes were blasted apart, revealing his well-built muscles.

"No injuries at all? Impossible?!"

The female Gu Master shrieked, unable to accept that taking her Blood Bomb Gu only resulted in torn clothes.

Even the sharp Wind Blades shattered upon hitting Chen Nan, leaving only faint marks on his skin.

Chen Nan chuckled coldly; after refining Earth into Earth Spirit Root, as long as he stood on the ground, his body received support from the land.

His defense could be considered monstrous!

He raised his head and coldly glanced at the female Gu Master, his gaze as sharp as a knife, making her heart tremble, as if stared down by a dangerous demon beast.

"I want you dead!"

Gritting her teeth, the female Gu Master, who roamed the Heavenly Border, found it a huge disgrace to be daunted by a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator!

Numerous Gu insects flew out from her body, surging towards Chen Nan like dense clouds, covering the sky.

Seeing this, Chen Nan formed seals with his hands, summoning a golden flame in the air, which quickly expanded to the size of a house and then crashed down!

Star Fall!

The terrifying temperature radiated from the fireball, crashing on the Gu insects like a meteor.

Many Gu insects touched by the Heaven-Burning Flame turned to ash in no time, falling like snowflakes.

A loud boom sounded as the ground was smashed into a massive crater, flames blazing within.

This scene made the female Gu Master furious beyond words, her painstakingly refined Gu insects burned to death just like that.

The eldest black-robed man’s eyelids twitched; taking advantage of Chen Nan’s distraction, he released a Gu insect, spreading a toxic cloud.

"Kid, I’ll make your flesh melt!"

Everything the toxic cloud touched pitted and corroded, even stones on the ground turned into green sludge.

But Chen Nan turned abruptly, with a small snake appearing on his shoulder, opening its mouth to reveal two fangs.

The snake’s mouth seemed to form a vortex, absorbing all the toxic cloud. In a moment, the cloud vanished without a trace.

It even burped, looking satisfied.

"This..."

The black-robed man was speechless in shock, looking at the snake on Chen Nan’s shoulder, seemingly understanding why the Illusion Gu didn’t obey earlier.

Before he could articulate his realization, Chen Nan charged at him, so fast that it caused a sonic boom, overwhelming presence with fierce winds!

In panic, the black-robed man hastily released his Gu insects and turned to retreat.

But in front of the snake, these Gu insects couldn’t even delay Chen Nan for a second. In the blink of an eye, Chen Nan was in front of the black-robed man.

Without his Gu insects, a Gu Master was no threat, whether Foundation Establishment or Golden Core Stage.

"Dragon Tiger Mountain Seal!"

A Great Seal quickly formed in Chen Nan’s hands, smashing down aggressively!

The black-robed man shuddered, quickly using a Nail Head Gu, which stabbed hard into the Seal like a long nail.

With a crashing sound, the Seal shattered, dissipating rapidly in the air.

Chen Nan’s cultivation had dropped to Foundation Establishment Third Layer, diminishing the power of his magic greatly.

But after the Seal shattered, Chen Nan’s fist came next, enveloped in golden and black flames, punching fiercely at the man’s abdomen.

The man bent backward like a cooked shrimp, spraying blood into the air as he flew.

Before he could land, thunder flashed behind Chen Nan as his silhouette appeared at the man’s landing spot, hands clasped into a fist, thunder covering his fists like an iron hammer, smashing down brutally.

The blinding thunder exploded on the black-robed man!
