Dashing Student-Chapter 1096: Truly an Honor

The assassins from Yama Hall have come looking for me again!

Even though he anticipated this day, Chen Nan felt incredibly frustrated in his heart, not wanting to constantly be on guard against assassination attempts.

What he didn’t know was that the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm’s innate divine ability "Nine Tribulations" allowed him to resurrect each time he faced a tribulation.

When he died, he naturally disappeared from the Hidden Dragon List.

But once he came back to life, his name reappeared on the Hidden Dragon List.

Since there was no news of Chen Nan’s death, those with vested interests continued their pursuit.

The assassins from Yama Hall successfully assassinated Chen Nan and even reported the news to the Wang Family, collecting the final payment.

But when Chen Nan came back to life, the Wang Family accused Yama Hall of deceit, which angered Yama Hall significantly.

If this matter is not resolved, what reputation would the assassins have?

Hence, another wave of assassins targeting Chen Nan set out, determined not to miss any clues.

Looking at the man in front of him dressed in black with a somewhat serious expression, Chen Nan squinted slightly, as a killing intent flashed by.

To deal with him, this time Yama Hall sent assassins all in the Golden Core Stage, among them the man before him, a Golden Core Stage Third Layer expert.

"Chen Nan, staying alive is no good for anyone, why bother?"

The assassin said coldly, his body slowly disappearing, as if hidden within the air.

Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, aware of the exquisite concealing technique of Yama Hall, but these words still angered him.

"I’m just a small fry, yet so many big shots are fixated on me, what an honor. But why should I die for you?"

"I just want to live, step by step reach the peak, and trample you all underfoot!"

He suddenly clenched his fist, and a streak of light abruptly flew out from him, it was the Gold Attribute Flower Bud storing seventy-two array swords of the Star Constellation Sword Formation.

Chen Nan called it the Nabing Lotus Heart.

Meanwhile, he cautiously guarded his surroundings, as the assassin, who concealed his form, couldn’t be traced by his divine sense, forcing him to stay alert.

Suddenly, Chen Nan felt a chill behind him, instinctively deploying the Seven Stars Stepping Gang Technique, he stepped on the seven stars, his body suddenly moved sideways, as a thin sword pierced through the afterimage he left behind.

The sword qi twisted, and the afterimage instantly shattered.

The black-clad assassin revealed himself, coldly gazing at Chen Nan like a dormant volcano, seemingly ordinary, yet its eruption carried immense power.

This was the essence of Yama Hall’s magic.

Seeing him attempting to conceal himself again, Chen Nan immediately performed a sealing technique with both hands, green-white mana surged into the Nabing Lotus Heart above his head.

Three swords suddenly flew out, like a lotus pod ejecting three lotus seeds.

As they landed, the vital force among the three array swords quickly linked to form a simple Star Constellation Formation, and the sky above the formation suddenly darkened, as if night had fallen.

In the darkness, there were three points of starlight, which were three stars among the seventy-two constellations.

The Star Constellation Sword Formation was created based on the myriad of stars in the sky.

Faced with the formation’s encirclement, the assassin’s expression changed, as his body resembled a hunting demon beast, his aura suddenly contracting, yet the thin sword in his hand emitted a "buzzing" sound.

The next moment, the sword blade glowed brightly, all mana and power concentrated on the thin sword, which then stabbed towards the formation’s barrier.

No energy leaked, all was gathered onto the sword blade, the void seemed to be pierced by a single sword.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Glass-breaking sounds echoed, the barrier of the Star Constellation Sword Formation was shattered by a single sword, and the three array swords swayed back, falling into the Nabing Lotus Heart.

Chen Nan raised his eyebrows in surprise, not expecting a Golden Core Stage Third Layer assassin to break through his Star Constellation Sword Formation, even if it was just a simplified version.

But it was impressive enough!

"Still too weak in cultivation."

Chen Nan had lamented this countless times, if his cultivation were stronger, he could deploy more array swords, no Golden Core Stage Third Layer cultivator would be able to break it easily.

But after releasing this sword technique, the black-clad assassin wasn’t in good condition, indicating significant exhaustion of his stamina and mana.

This was the extreme point of Yama Hall’s cultivation techniques, they excelled in one-hit kills, aggregating all power into one strike.

After one strike, whether successful or not, they had to escape rapidly, as they would be unable to fight further.

The black-clad assassin before him intended to rely on cultivation to crush Chen Nan, but was instead forced into such a predicament.

"No wonder they couldn’t kill you, next time you won’t be so lucky!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Still thinking of next time?"

A red glint passed through Chen Nan’s eyes, as the ferocity within him erupted, his black hair standing upright and wildly dancing in this intense presence.

It was known that he practiced the Taotie Technique, every time he killed someone, he absorbed a trace of their cultivation, carrying the resentment and unwillingness of the killed.

These transformed into ferocity, affecting Chen Nan’s sanity.

Previously, even after killing only a few people, he nearly lost control.

When at the Southern Great Marsh Divine Hall, he killed Young Master Duobao, accumulating some ferocity, which erupted now, making him appear extremely fierce.

"Seven Stars Stepping Gang Technique!"

Chen Nan’s body suddenly vanished from his original spot, before he arrived, the Void Breaking Sword silently appeared behind the black-clad assassin, aimed directly for his heart.

At the brink of being pierced, the assassin finally sensed it, channeling the remaining mana in his body to the thin sword, which transformed into a thin beam, lightning-fast, striking the Void Breaking Sword.

With a clang, both the thin sword and the Void Breaking Sword were knocked away.

Yet at this moment, Chen Nan had already appeared before the assassin, flames surging from his fist, as he smashed it heavily towards the assassin.

In haste, a wisp of dark mana surged, forming a shield in front of the assassin, but it shattered under the fiery punch.

The fist landed heavily on the assassin’s chest, instantly causing a cracking sound of bones, his body was sent flying, and he was utterly shocked.

A Fake Pill Cultivator could suppress him like this?

Impossible!

Even without assassination skills, he shouldn’t be losing so miserably.

The gap between each realm in the Golden Core Stage is colossal!

The black-clad assassin’s cold expression finally cracked, showing a hint of panic, finally realizing why Chen Nan’s name hung prominently at the top of the Hidden Dragon List!

Scorching flames surged directly from the fist into his body, wreaking havoc in his meridians.

Every movement felt like being cut by knives, causing him unbearable pain.

He flipped up swiftly, not daring to linger, turned and fled, his form seeming to transform into a black glow, accelerating rapidly.

The escape techniques of Yama Hall are top-notch.

Chen Nan watched coldly, his legs slightly crouched, as thunder manifested on his back, converging into a pair of Thunder Wings.

The next moment, he soared into the sky, his body transformed into a lightning bolt, shooting forth rapidly, instantly crossing the horizon!
