Dashing Student-Chapter 1090: Seizing the Initiative

With Young Master Duobao’s lead, other cultivators began attacking one after another.

But despite thinking they could kill the man before them, they were ultimately thwarted.

This left them feeling extremely frustrated.

Young Master Duobao was even more shocked. When did this little thief become so strong?

Even though he felt something was wrong, the battle was so intense that he couldn’t afford to think too much.

"If Young Master Duobao knew the truth, I wonder if he’d be angry enough to spit blood."

Standing on a tree, Chen Nan witnessed it all and couldn’t help but smile.

Just then, he saw another familiar figure — it was the Divine Calculator.

The Divine Calculator was acting suspiciously, hiding behind the others at this moment.

After observing for a long time, he did not step forward to attack the Demon Ancestor; instead, he thought this was a perfect opportunity.

Everyone was entangled here. If he could get past this place, wouldn’t the treasures at the array eye all be his?

So, while everyone was not paying attention, he quietly slipped into a secluded corner, and his body slowly sank into the ground, disappearing.

"Is this... Earth Escape?"

Chen Nan was taken aback, having observed it all clearly.

The Five Elements Escape Technique is exceedingly rare magic. Once cultivated, one can traverse through the five elements.

But since most cultivators only possess two or three types of spirit roots, they could only cultivate the escape technique corresponding to their spirit root attributes.

Unfortunately, such a marvelous escape technique has long been lost.

Who would have thought the Divine Calculator could use it?

"That fat man indeed has good things with him!"

Although the Seven Stars Stepping Gang Technique is strong, the Five Elements Escape Technique is evidently superior, as it allows one to escape unnoticed and at no slower speed.

The Demon Ancestor, playing with other cultivators, sensed a faint mana fluctuation underground and couldn’t help but smile, knowing someone had used an escape technique.

But he did not stop them, as he found that the cultivators before him were getting less easily deceived.

Realizing they couldn’t harm him, they began to back off.

It’s worth noting that he had been sealed for so many years, and his cultivation was far from its peak. He wanted to absorb these cultivators’ vital force to recover.

How could he let them go?

The Demon Ancestor felt increasingly resentful toward those who originally sealed him here. Had it been his peak period, these cultivators, at most Golden Core Peak, couldn’t withstand even one of his glances!

He wouldn’t have to painstakingly act here, fearing scaring away these blood sacrifices.

Therefore, he intentionally let the little mouse pass through here to take the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in the array eye, believing it would surely provoke these people.

Chen Nan also realized the Demon Ancestor’s intentions. He knew that the Demon Ancestor had immeasurable strength and couldn’t have failed to notice the Divine Calculator. Clearly, he let the Divine Calculator pass on purpose.

"Good opportunity!"

His eyes suddenly lit up, and golden flames surged from his palm, condensing into a fireball. The fireball contained Mo Ying Flame. With a flick, the fireball flew out.

At this moment, the battle remained intense, and no one would notice this fireball.

The Demon Ancestor was slightly surprised, for the aura of this fireball felt somewhat familiar. He quickly struck it with a sword.

The violent mana exploded, shattering the fireball, and countless tiny flames scattered to the ground.

A lot of black flames, aided by the explosion’s power, fell far outside the Inverted Forest.

"It worked!"

Chen Nan felt a surge of joy in his heart. He jumped down from the tree and then activated the Mo Ying Flame, as if his body had become part of the flame.

Subsequently, his body seemed to melt into the shadows.

In the next moment, he reformed from a Mo Ying Flame, successfully escaping the Inverted Forest.

Many cultivators witnessed this and exclaimed in surprise.

"Someone got through!"

"Damn it, eliminate him quickly, or else all the good stuff will be snatched away!"

"Bastard!"

The curses rang out one after another, and the attacks on the Demon Ancestor became even fiercer, which played right into the Demon Ancestor’s hands.

"Haha, indeed effective. Human nature is greedy; just give a little benefit, and they will rush forward unerringly."

The Demon Ancestor let out a cold laugh but suddenly paused when his divine sense swept past.

Because even he found that figure to be familiar.

"Impossible, having hit my restriction, it’s impossible to survive."

"Truly strange."

In the sky, Young Master Duobao also saw Chen Nan’s back and was dumbfounded, looking at both the Demon Ancestor and Chen Nan.

But he quickly noticed something amiss. Earlier, when he was chasing Chen Nan, Chen Nan was clearly wearing a Daoist robe.

Yet the "Chen Nan" before him was dressed in black, with eyes that were evil and merciless.

Evidently, he had mistaken someone else for Chen Nan!

"Little thief!"

Young Master Duobao was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. Just the thought that Chen Nan might have been watching him mistakenly fighting desperately made him almost burst with rage.

"I will not rest until one of us is dead!"

He roared, relentlessly attacking the Demon Ancestor, looking every bit like he was fighting to the death.

The other cultivators saw this and thought Young Master Duobao was crazy, but his attacks greatly boosted their morale.

No one wanted someone else to get ahead, so they all used their strongest methods.

Meanwhile, at the array eye, the Divine Calculator emerged from the ground, staring intently at the Mystic Yin True Water floating on the stone platform, then looked below the water to the compass.

"It’s here, hahaha!"

The Divine Calculator was thrilled. He reached out to grab it, only to be stopped by an invisible barrier.

As he touched it, countless entwining lines appeared on the barrier, clearly indicating that the array was no simple thing.

"Damn it, I should have known that the array eye of the main array isn’t so easily destroyed."

The array eye serves as the core of an array; destroying it is akin to destroying the entire array.

In the previous Ancient Altar Array, the corpse puppets existed to guard the array eye.

Here, the array eye is protected by the array.

"Time to showcase some real skills. Watch me break the array!"

The Divine Calculator snorted coldly, spreading his arms, and several array flags flew out from his body, forming a circle around the array eye.

There are two ways to break an array: completely understand everything about it, comprehend it, and you’ll know how to break it.

The other way is to forcefully break it.

This array, though not large, is very sturdy. The Divine Calculator guessed it was Fifth Grade!

To forcibly break this array, it would require a Nascent Soul Stage old monster.

So he obediently began analyzing the array, gradually breaking it down.

Not long after, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, clearly indicating that breaking the array required a concentration that was not an easy task.
