Dashing Student-Chapter 1073: Hostile Visitors

Divine Calculator let out a mournful wail as he was dragged forward rapidly by Chen Nan, the scenery on both sides swiftly retreating.

"Little thief, where do you think you're escaping to?"

Young Master Duobao roared angrily, and the last two spiritual artifacts were summoned by him as well.

Countless water gushed out from the jade bottle, instantly submerging the ground, transforming into a monstrous wave that surged towards Chen Nan and his companion.

Meanwhile, the bronze lamp unleashed a crimson flame, which immediately blanketed the sky and chased after Chen Nan, even turning the sky a bright red.

Water and fire simultaneously attacked, surging mightily, leaving no gaps in the sky or on the ground. In front of the flames and giant waves, Chen Nan and Divine Calculator were as insignificant as ants.

Seeing the flames almost reaching his feet, Divine Calculator exclaimed in panic, "Junior brother, faster, faster!"

Chen Nan grumbled slightly, thinking about how burdensome this fat Taoist was, only knowing how to scream.

But he understood that if they were caught by the giant waves or flames, it would be difficult to escape.

After all, the crimson flame clearly wasn't an ordinary fire; it must be a kind of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, emitting a terrifying temperature.

"Go!"

Gritting his teeth, Chen Nan transformed his internal mana into thunder instantly, his thunder wings expanded by threefold behind him, and his speed increased, making him a lightning bolt that distanced himself from the flames and waves.

"Little thief, no matter where you flee, I will find you!"

Duobao impotently shouted from behind, only to watch as Chen Nan disappeared from view.

"Damn it, if the giant python hadn't entangled me and depleted a lot of my talismans, how could you have escaped?"

He said angrily, not only were the talismans consumed, but also the defensive spiritual artifacts and secret treasures, otherwise, the Void Breaking Sword wouldn't have succeeded so easily.

Remembering that the giant python was lured by Divine Calculator to trap him made him even angrier, so he quickly gathered his treasures and chased in the direction where Chen Nan disappeared.

The place ravaged by fire and flood had become a scene of desolation.

Chen Nan didn't know how far he had run, only stopping when his internal mana was almost exhausted, hurriedly swallowing a Replenishing Essence Pill to restore his mana.

Divine Calculator was in a worse state, having howled all along the way until his throat was hoarse, and his buttocks were still bleeding.

"Jue Mingzi, are you intentionally trying to get me killed?"

He lay on the ground, gritting his teeth as he asked.

Chen Nan sighed helplessly, "Dao brother, think of a solution. When Duobao catches up again, I might not be able to take care of you!"

Divine Calculator finally realized that Duobao was still chasing them, so he quickly got up and took a healing pill.

As the internal mana slowly recovered, Chen Nan looked around and discovered a mountain range appearing around them, stretching unceasingly into the depths of the Southern Marsh.

And not far ahead was a great mountain, its body emitting a metallic sheen under the sunlight, resembling an iron mountain.

"Dao brother, what is that?"

Divine Calculator looked in the direction of his pointing finger, explaining, "That's the Soul Calming Mountain I mentioned."

"Passing through the Soul Calming Mountain, you reach the place of Mystic Yin True Water, but that place is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to go?"

Chen Nan rolled his eyes, saying somewhat speechlessly, "We've come this far, do you expect us to give up halfway?"

"Suit yourself."

Divine Calculator was very dissatisfied with Chen Nan's recent actions, feeling that he wasn't being treated like a person.

A rustling sound came from behind, and Chen Nan turned around to see some demon beasts from the Great Swamp chasing after them.

Their escape had been quite noisy; after all, the thundering sound was loud enough for even the deaf to hear, so it was normal to have startled demon beasts.

Having fled quite a thousand miles and stirred up the demon beasts within that range, those who pursued them lived within a hundred miles of here.

The demon beasts in the Great Swamp were usually snakes and pythons, and now they all raised their heads, glaring at Chen Nan.

"Junior brother, they're all yours; my wounds haven't healed yet." He pointed to his own buttocks.

Chen Nan nodded; he hadn't planned on having Divine Calculator take action anyway.

A flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Wind Roar Sword appeared. Kicking off with the wind, Chen Nan dived into the midst of the demon beasts, waving his longsword, unleashing whirling wind blades.

The demon beasts' cultivation was generally at the second or third layer of the Golden Core Stage, completely no match for Chen Nan.

After tearing the last venomous snake in half, he quickly retrieved the Blood Gourd, collecting all the demon beast corpses into it.

They were all Demon Spirit Pills, not a bit should be wasted.

Just then, mana fluctuations arose on the left; Chen Nan thought it was a remaining demon beast. He hurriedly put away the Blood Gourd, summoning the Wind Roar Sword and thrusting it forth.

To his surprise, after stabbing, he realized it wasn't a demon beast at all, but actually a paperman.

The paperman was pierced through by the sword tip, hanging and swaying its hands. Its painted face carried a sinister look as it suddenly stared at Chen Nan, then it stopped moving.

The next moment, the paperman suddenly erupted with an astonishing energy wave.

Boom!

The massive explosion sent Chen Nan flying, crashing on the ground in front of Divine Calculator.

"Haha, junior brother, you ought to be more careful."

Divine Calculator gloated at the scene, but then saw Chen Nan leap up, his face grave as he closed his eyes, releasing his immense divine sense.

Subsequently, his expression turned even more grim upon discovering that surrounding them were papermen exactly like the one before!

"Someone's coming, and they mean trouble!"

Seeing Chen Nan's seriousness, Divine Calculator knew he wasn't joking about this.

He also perceived that judging by Chen Nan's expression, the person coming was likely formidable, so he quickly stood up, performing a hand seal, and the array flag he carried flew out, circling around him.

In moments of necessity, he could set up a grand formation in no time.

As Chen Nan and Divine Calculator braced themselves, papermen appeared densely from every direction, surrounding them in the middle.

The tiny papermen, merely palm-sized, made Divine Calculator laugh immediately.

"Junior brother, you're afraid of these small toys?" he chuckled, "Watch your Daoist brother!"

Divine Calculator sneered, approaching a paperman, reaching to grab it.

Unexpectedly, the paperman advanced instead of retreating, actively colliding with his hand.

However, before Divine Calculator could boast, he felt an astonishing burst of spiritual power from the paperman in his grip, and then it exploded!

Bang!

Divine Calculator went out walking, but flew back lying down, heavily crashing onto the ground.

Seeing his hand was bloodied from the explosion, Chen Nan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Dao brother, do you still say I'm making a fuss?"

"No, no." Divine Calculator quickly stood up, "This small thing indeed packs a punch."

Papermen densely packed, if they all exploded at once, it was doubtful any remains would be left of them.
