Dashing Student-Chapter 1070: The Daoist Has Your Back

Chu Jiaojiao’s transformation surprised Chen Nan greatly; he initially thought Chu Jiaojiao was hiding her true identity.

But unexpectedly, she was being controlled by Yao Li.

Yao Li went through so much trouble to find him, and her motives were definitely not simple.

"Ah, it seems like I’m seeing endless troubles again."

The Divine Calculator patted Chen Nan’s shoulder, feeling even more melancholic than him.

"That is the Holy Daughter of the Hehuan Sect! Do you know why many men are willing to be drained and go to be a furnace for the Hehuan Sect?"

"Because the Hehuan Sect can offer heavenly pleasure! As the saying goes, ’Dead under a peony flower, a ghost remains lustful.’

His eyes revealed a deep longing.

Unable to guess Yao Li’s purpose, Chen Nan decided to ignore the matter for now and deal with the trouble later.

He patted the Divine Calculator’s shoulder, pouring cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Dao Brother, I think someone like you might not even be needed as a furnace."

The Divine Calculator’s eyes widened suddenly, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on this Daoist?"

"This Daoist may be a bit fat, but where am I inferior to you?"

Chen Nan didn’t intend to argue such superficial matters with him and directly took out the iron plate given by Yao Li, inputting his mana into it.

Soon, the iron plate lit up, engulfing both Chen Nan and the Divine Calculator.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves on an outside altar.

"Haha, this Daoist is finally out!"

The Divine Calculator danced with excitement.

"Let’s go, we must quickly find the Mystic Yin True Water, I have a bad feeling." Chen Nan said with a frown.

The Divine Calculator, however, appeared unconcerned, "Relax, this Daoist has got you covered!"

When there was no danger, his words carried boundless confidence; Chen Nan was used to this by now.

The two quickly set off in search of the Heartless Wood.

Although this wood is a type of Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, its rank is very low, not considered precious, and it was everywhere in the Southern Marsh.

Soon they found a Heartless Wood thirty miles from the Wangchuan Swamp, its thickness only akin to an arm, hardly more than a bamboo pole.

"These cursed bastards, they’ve chopped down all the surrounding Heartless Wood and left none! Made this Daoist walk such a long distance!"

The Divine Calculator cursed while chopping the tree.

This wood was very light, like a feather without any weight.

Chen Nan took the chopped Heartless Wood to the edge of Wangchuan Swamp and threw it onto the swamp; sure enough, it didn’t sink.

"Dao Brother, after you."

He extended his hand, making a gesture of invitation.

After all, he had seen someone push their companion into the swamp without any resistance; traveling with others was still a bit unsettling.

"Dao Heart, this Daoist wouldn’t lay a hand on you."

The Divine Calculator patted his chest, though those words seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

His fat body suddenly leapt up and gently landed on the Heartless Wood, with his feet crossed together.

After all, this Heartless Wood was too slender and required balance.

Chen Nan also flashed onto the Heartless Wood and instantly felt a terrifying suction pull him downward.

This suction seemed intent on dragging him straight into the swamp.

Only then did Chen Nan understand why flying was not allowed over the Wangchuan Swamp.

Even flying in the sky, one would be pulled down by the immense suction of the Wangchuan Swamp.

Chen Nan then struck a palm towards the shore, and in an instant, a great recoil force surged, propelling the Heartless Wood towards the opposite shore.

Just as Chen Nan thought they could pass smoothly over the Wangchuan Swamp, a group of people appeared on the opposite shore.

The leader was none other than the man Chen Nan had seen previously pushing his companion into the swamp!

"We’ve been waiting for you, since you saw our secret, you must die now!"

The leading man chuckled coldly and directly summoned a longsword, the blade emitting a piercing cold light, and it howled towards Chen Nan!

Chen Nan hadn’t expected that merely witnessing this incident would cause such hatred; how cautious could one be?

Perhaps the murdered cultivator had a significant background, and the man was afraid the matter might be exposed.

"What a ruthless person, lying in ambush for a whole day for this matter."

The Divine Calculator shivered, then leapt high and gently landed, positioning himself behind Chen Nan.

"Junior Brother, they’re looking for you."

Chen Nan cursed the Divine Calculator for his shamelessness, claiming he had him covered when there was no danger, but abandoning him when there was danger.

However, facing the incoming longsword, Chen Nan didn’t dare to be careless.

After all, they were still above the Wangchuan Swamp, standing only on an arm-thick Heartless Wood; if they fell, all would be lost.

As the longsword was about to strike him, the Wind Roar Sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

With a gentle swipe, he deflected the flying sword, and simultaneously thrust forward, unleashing a wind blade over a meter long that slashed open a crack in the swamp below with its fierce Sword Qi.

His feet seemed firmly rooted, without a hint of shaking.

The face of the man on the shore turned ugly, and he ordered coldly, "All at once!"

"If this leaks out, not just we will die, our families will also be implicated, no risk can remain!"

The other cultivators stepped forward solemnly, attacking Chen Nan.

From their words, Chen Nan understood why they were so cautious; as he suspected, the slain person had a powerful background, one they couldn’t afford to offend.

Seeing numerous spells surging forth, Chen Nan’s gaze turned icy, and the Wind Roar Sword in his hand wrapped in furious winds, sliced downwards, unleashing a tornado.

All incoming spells were instantly engulfed by the tornado, erupting with a bang, the resulting powerful energy even making Chen Nan’s body sway slightly.

The man on the shore, seeing this, revealed a gleeful expression.

"That’s it, even if you can’t kill him, knock him into the swamp!"

They initially thought Chen Nan was just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but after confronting him, they realized his strength was far beyond their expectations!

With such a formidable opponent, they were even more worried, determined to eliminate Chen Nan at all costs.

Seeing another round of assaults approaching, Chen Nan’s face turned utterly grim; he extended a finger forward, and a green light suddenly fell on the shore.

In the blink of an eye, the green light shot up, countless vines sprouted, and in the center appeared a small wooden house.

Wood Demon!

This was a new Wood Demon formed from Chen Nan merging with the Wood Demon Essence and Jianmu, usually used as a temporary resting place.

But now, needing someone to contain the cultivators on the shore, he had no choice but to bring it out.

Although the Wood Demon’s strength was tied to his cultivation, presently just at Foundation Establishment Stage, it stood no chance against several Golden Core First and Second Layer cultivators.

Mighty vines burst from the ground, ensnaring the cultivators on the shore, while rapidly growing branches, sharp as weapons, thrust towards them!
