Dashing Student

"Pathetic worm."

Chen Nan’s eyes were filled with sympathy, but it made Shama feel the deepest humiliation.

The more anxious and ashamed he became, the calmer Chen Nan remained, making Shama seem even more despicable and shameless, causing him to feel utterly disgraced.

He simply did not believe what Chen Nan was saying.

"You’re lying to me. How could the Immortal Epidemic be spread by humans? Only a King Gu could possess such an ability. It’s laughable that you would try to deceive me with such words."

"Haha, isn’t he hilarious..."

Shama wanted to join the black-robed men in mocking Chen Nan, but he discovered that the black-robed men were merely watching him in silence, and Chen Nan was staring at him with eyes full of pity.

He finally sensed that something was wrong, but still forced a smile, "He’s lying, right?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"No, he’s telling the truth."

A black-robed man spoke solemnly, face serious.

For Shama, it was nothing less than a judgment, indicating that he had truly betrayed the Heavenly Border and his people.

Suddenly, he remembered the first time he met the black-robed man; it was only a few days ago when Chen Nan went to Luoxi Village to treat the Immortal Epidemic.

Watching Chen Nan being surrounded by the villagers while belittling himself made him extraordinarily unbalanced and envious to the point of madness, thinking that Chen Nan’s arrival had caused this situation.

Unwittingly, he left the village and encountered the black-robed men outside.

When the black-robed men learned that Chen Nan had treated the Immortal Epidemic, they said to Shama, "We can help you eliminate that person, but it must be when he is alone."

At that time, Shama only thought about getting rid of Chen Nan and did not consider anything else, so he quickly agreed.

Thus, he returned to his previously humble self, shamelessly sticking around Chen Nan until this moment when his true nature was exposed.

Shama knew he had been used, but he refused to believe the reality, his expression maniacal.

"No, you’re all lying to me, it’s all fake!"

"It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t appeared, none of this would have happened!"

He roared madly, pointing at Chen Nan, his eyes filled with venomous hatred, and directly unleashed Gu Insects to charge at Chen Nan.

Simultaneously, he waved his hand and scattered a large area of venom, which corroded deep pits into the ground and then seemed to possess life as it surged toward Chen Nan.

The three black-robed men did not move, coldly watching the entire scene as if it were just a performance, and they were spectators perched high above.

After discovering Chen Nan’s information, through their link with the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm, they also learned that Chen Nan possessed a King Gu, and they knew that the King Gu and Chen Nan were in a master-servant relationship.

As long as Chen Nan died, the King Gu would die with him.

Thus, they orchestrated this deadly trap directed at Chen Nan.

Even though Chen Nan had a record of defeating a Golden Core Stage opponent, in their eyes, it was merely due to the King Gu’s existence, which imposes significant suppression on Gu Masters.

Therefore, this time, they deployed a Beast Tamer to ensure Chen Nan’s complete eradication!

As a Medical Witch, Shama was competent, but he got fixated on the issue of the Immortal Epidemic. However, his strength was the weakest among the Priests.

Although he had the cultivation of the Golden Core First Layer, in Chen Nan’s eyes, he was full of weaknesses.

"Use your death to atone for your sins."

Chen Nan sighed, and when he raised his head again, his eyes suddenly became as sharp as knives, and his body swiftly expanded, with a phantom of nine tails appearing behind him, looking like a demon!

After the Gu Insects approached him, they dared not move, while the venom on the ground still surged forward, releasing black smoke as it corroded the ground.

Chen Nan’s figure flashed and suddenly vanished from his original spot. The three black-robed men thought Shama was doomed, and even Shama spread his arms, waiting for death.

Death had now become a release for him.

But who would have thought that Chen Nan would suddenly change direction, his body rushing straight at one of the black-robed men, his sharp nails slicing through the air with a piercing explosion as he swung them fiercely!

The black-robed man was caught off guard and hastily formed a shield with mana, but it was torn apart instantly, with blood spraying out and three deep, bone-revealing wounds appearing on his chest.

He retreated in panic, his hood falling off to reveal an old face with sparse remaining hair, his eyes filled with shock and venomous hatred.

"Kill him for me!"

The old man roared, and two demon beasts shot out violently from behind him, baring their teeth as they charged at Chen Nan.

Another black-robed man cautiously placed a demon beast in front of him as a shield and couldn’t help but mock, "Old Ghost Miao, have you lost your senses? How could you fall for this?"

"Xiu Ming, stop with the sarcastic remarks; you’d fall for it too!"

Old Ghost Miao retrieved a Healing Pill from his storage bag and swallowed it, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"Xiu Ming, Snake King, attack together. This kid is strange, let’s deal with him first!"

As his words fell, another demon beast also lunged at Chen Nan.

The most peculiar was the black-robed man called Snake King, who at that moment pulled down his hood to reveal a childlike face. However, when he pointed forward, dozens of multi-colored snakes rushed out of the forest.

A black giant python coiled around, lifting the Snake King with its head like a seat, allowing the Snake King to enjoy the battle from a high vantage point.

The three black-robed men were all cultivators around the Golden Core Fifth Layer, and their demon beasts were also Golden Core Stage demon beasts.

Ordinarily, if Chen Nan faced one of them, relying on his own trump cards, he might have some chances of victory, but surrounded by these demon beasts, he had no chance at all.

A Red-eyed Mysterious Leopard with its massive jaws lunged to bite, its eyes seemingly able to captivate one’s soul, rendering Chen Nan’s mind blank for a moment.

Within an instant, its sharp teeth bit into his shoulder, blood instantly staining his clothes red.

As he came back to his senses, Chen Nan didn’t hold back his strength and immediately performed the "Heaven-Burning Transformation," where golden flames fiercely erupted from his body, the terrifying heat spreading rapidly!

The Red-eyed Mysterious Leopard, feeling the scorching of the terrifying flames, had to release its bite, but another demon beast, the Mo Yue Pi, with its body emitting a purple shimmer, swept its claw toward him.

Its claws carried a stench of decay that would make anyone dizzy upon smelling it.

Chen Nan raised his arms to defend, only feeling an astonishing force coming through, making him involuntarily fly backward, breaking through a tree with a diameter of three yards wide.

Blood and energy flowed in reverse within his body, and Chen Nan only felt his arms go numb. Even though his physique far surpassed the scope of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, in the face of a true Golden Core Stage demon beast, he was still somewhat lacking.

A large snake coiled its way up the tree, its body resembling a rope, winding toward Chen Nan, its long tongue flicking out.

Two sharp fangs were coated with green venom, glinting with dangerous cold light!
