Chapter 998: Chapter 997: Fierce Battle Against the Golden Core

"Priest Chang, today you will surely die!"

The man in the black robe, with a sinister expression, continued to approach, driving Gu insects into Priest Chang’s body.

At the same time, a plump ice silkworm leisurely flew into the air, but it exhaled an extremely cold breath, freezing half of Priest Chang’s body in the blink of an eye.

A pitch-black Gu insect emerged from the ground, its sharp mandibles directly piercing Priest Chang’s ankle, then burrowing into her body like a nail.

As she circulated her mana, the black Gu insect began to gnaw at her meridians, causing her excruciating pain.

All that remained in Priest Chang’s heart was despair, enduring the sharp pain, circulating mana to shatter the ice on her body. Meanwhile, the centipede on her arm spewed out thick smoke, carrying away several Gu insects.

But concerning the battle situation, it was already futile.

"It seems that today I will truly die here."

She turned her head to look at Chen Nan and A Yin in the distance, and a trace of resentment surprisingly arose in her heart.

"Turning a blind eye, you will also die..."

From afar, A Yin and Chen Nan naturally could not hear Priest Chang’s last words. A Yin held the Silver Ring Snake Gu in his hand, gazing up at Chen Nan.

"Senior, are you serious? But that man is a Golden Core Stage cultivator, can you manage?"

The last thing a man wants to hear is the word "can’t." Chen Nan smiled slightly, but his body seemed to melt, quickly transforming into a pool of liquid and disappearing onto the ground.

"Senior!"

A Yin was stunned by this scene, hurriedly reaching out to grab but grasping nothing. Only a small black flame was left on the ground.

At this time, the man in the black robe was holding a black poisonous scorpion, its tail hook sharp as a needle, aiming to stab Priest Chang in the eye.

Even Priest Chang’s centipede Gu was being tackled to the ground by other Gu insects at this moment.

But just at the critical moment, the man in the black robe suddenly felt a chill behind him, instinctively sending the black beetle he used before to his rear, spreading its shield-like wings.

However, the previously resilient wings were pierced through directly this time.

The man in the black robe, worthy of being a Golden Core Stage cultivator, even at such a perilous moment, forcibly dodged, letting what should have pierced his heart only pierce through his shoulder.

His body burst out explosively, fearing more attacks.

After dodging three yards away, he turned to see Chen Nan standing there, a small sword in his palm.

"Pity, still a bit too slow."

Chen Nan shook his head, displaying a regretful expression. If he had been a bit faster, the man in the black robe would not have been able to avoid this strike.

In the end, it’s still because the cultivation is too weak, he sighed.

"You little thief, you promised not to interfere!"

The man in the black robe’s eyes almost spewed fire, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to eat Chen Nan alive.

The rescued Priest Chang was equally shocked, her eyes wide open in disbelief as she looked at Chen Nan.

Has the fool figured it out?

"Even if you attack now, it’s already too late. I am no longer able to fight..."

Priest Chang wanted to curse, but she no longer had the strength.

Chen Nan coldly laughed, "This is just your punishment."

Priest Chang was taken aback, then immediately incensed, her chest heaving: "Petty! Not only are you a fool, but you’re also small-minded!"

No matter how much she cursed, Chen Nan ignored her, only looking at the man in the black robe, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.

Said to confront a Golden Core Stage cultivator head-on, then face them head-on!

The Heavenly Fox Form unfolded abruptly, Chen Nan’s figure shot up, his fingers elongated, and even faintly behind him, a long tail could be seen.

"Who said I wouldn’t make a move? You want to have me killed, how can I let you off?"

As a Golden Core Stage cultivator, Priest Chang had some discerning eyes. Seeing Chen Nan in his current form, she could not help but be startled.

"Demon Clan...? No, it’s the Demon Clan Technique!"

The Demon Clan Technique was already rare, and humans who cultivated it even rarer, she had only heard of it.

But what shocked her more than the Demon Clan Technique was the fighting spirit exuding from Chen Nan at this moment.

Clearly intending to face the man in the black robe alone!

"You fool, are you intending to face him alone? Too arrogant, you’re simply courting death!"

The man in the black robe clearly noticed this point as well, his anger intensifying. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I never expected to be underestimated by an ant, truly think I can’t deal with you?!"

"Die for me!"

He roared, immediately releasing dozens of Gu insects from his body.

The Ice Silkworm Gu spewed a chill towards Chen Nan, freezing everything in its path.

A pitch-black Gu insect spat a black line, dense with poison, instantly piercing through the void.

All the Gu insects attacked simultaneously. Even a Golden Core Stage cultivator might have to reconsider their approach in such a situation.

But Chen Nan remained unfazed, a thunderous aura emanating from behind him, forming into a pair of Thunder Wings.

In the next moment, he darted out, transforming into a streak of lightning, while bolts of thunder descended suddenly, encompassing all those Gu insects!

The thunder formed a net, entrapping all the Gu insects.

The struck Gu insects plummeted to the ground, emitting smoke, motionless.

However, the lightning Chen Nan used was ordinary and didn’t kill the Gu insects, merely immobilizing them temporarily.

The man in the black robe was suddenly shocked, sensing a dangerous aura from the thunder. Before he could react, Chen Nan had already appeared in front of him, striking with a punch.

Boom!

The punch unleashed a thunderous roar, the formidable force whipping up a gale, lifting a layer of the ground.

The man in the black robe raised his hands to block, but his body was sent flying by the punch, rolling several times before stopping, his heart filled with even greater shock.

Even both of his arms were now hanging limply, blood dripping incessantly.

Before he could catch his breath, Chen Nan emerged from his shadow like a leech, driving his knee into him, followed by an elbow like a spear, stabbing down.

With a thud, the man in the black robe felt his ribcage completely shatter, his five internal organs suffering injuries, causing him to spit blood immediately.

He hastily circulated mana, forming a defensive layer on his body’s surface, but Chen Nan’s attacks followed relentlessly, like a storm, leaving him breathless.

The man in the black robe felt like he had turned into a sandbag, various attacks raining upon him, each blow making him cough up blood.

If not for using mana to desperately protect himself, he would have been beaten to death already.

From a distance, A Yin and Priest Chang, witnessing Chen Nan thrashing the man in the black robe, involuntarily gaped, their eyes vacant.

A dignified Golden Core Stage cultivator, being thrashed by a Foundation Establishment Stage, who would believe it if it got out?

"He... he’s actually this strong?!"

Priest Chang’s mind churned with tumultuous waves, since when did the Heavenly Border produce such a fierce individual?
