Dashing Student-Chapter 1154: Casting a Wide Net

The densely packed blood-colored knives struck Chen Nan, but it was as if they hit Golden Crystal Meteorite Iron, producing a sound of metal clashing, unable to cause him any harm.

Tan Zhuo’s eyes widened like copper bells, unable to comprehend how a cultivator could have such a hardened body.

Yang Jun was more quick-witted, immediately realizing the attack was aimed at them and turned to flee, unwilling to face such a monster.

Unfortunately, since Chen Nan had brought them here, he was naturally well-prepared.

With a pointed gesture of his fingers, seven array swords immediately stood upright around them, activating the Star Constellation Sword Formation; a barrier like an inverted dome appeared on the ground.

Seeing this, Yang Jun immediately summoned a longsword that emitted a cyan light, producing a sharp friction sound as it fiercely struck the barrier.

The barrier rippled but did not break; instead, it generated a torrent of sword qi that surged overwhelmingly towards Yang Jun like a flood.

Each stream of sword qi carried enough power to tear through metal, drastically changing Yang Jun’s expression, as he hurriedly recalled his longsword, causing the cyan light on the blade to intensify, manifesting dozens of cyan serpent phantoms.

The serpents hissed, meeting the torrent of sword qi, biting apart several streams with their gaping mouths.

Unfortunately, the serpents were too few against the torrent and were chopped into dozens of pieces before disappearing.

Then the torrent of sword qi completely submerged Yang Jun, leaving countless wounds on his body, turning him into a bloodied figure.

The sword qi pierced into his body, severing his meridians and shattering his golden core, leaving him a ruined man, barely clinging to life on the ground.

Cultivators of the same realm as Chen Nan were utterly powerless before the Star Constellation Sword Formation. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

A tremendous fear rose in Tan Zhuo’s heart at this moment, as he stared intently at Chen Nan, even his voice trembling, "Who...who are you?"

"Don’t you recognize me? Your master has always wanted to kill me." Chen Nan answered with a cold smile, his appearance rapidly transforming into his own.

"Chen Nan?!"

Tan Zhuo was all too familiar with this face; he had stood next to Master Xuanming back then, and even his own senior brother had died at Chen Nan’s hands.

At the time, he hadn’t believed it, thinking that a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator defeating a Golden Core realm was too outrageous, surely using some disreputable means.

But witnessing the present gap in power, he finally understood that Chen Nan had always been that strong!

"Don’t kill me, it was all Master Xuanming’s doing, I never targeted you," Tan Zhuo quickly pleaded, "If you kill me, Master Xuanming will sense it."

"Rest assured, I won’t speak of today’s events to anyone, nor have I ever seen you..."

Yet in his heart, he planned to report back to Master Xuanming immediately once he returned, as Chen Nan had delivered himself to their doorstep, he must not be let go.

Seeing the scheming look in Tan Zhuo’s eyes, Chen Nan scoffed.

These people always remain so naïve!

"Only the dead can keep secrets, it’d be too lonely for your senior brother to journey on alone, so you’d better accompany him."

As his words fell, Chen Nan’s body shot forward, even the ground beneath his feet shattered, and he appeared in front of Tan Zhuo like a gust of wind.

A massive fist rapidly enlarged in Tan Zhuo’s vision; he wanted to defend but the fist was too fast, directly smashing into his chest.

Crack, crack...

The sound of bones breaking was unmistakably clear, and Tan Zhuo’s body flew like a rag doll, landing heavily on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, along with fragments of internal organs.

Chen Nan knew that killing them would alert Master Xuanming, so he had prepared for this, though he was somewhat reluctant to leave behind the precious spiritual medicines in the Spirit Plant Garden.

"I’ll let you live a few more days for now."

After speaking, he destroyed Tan Zhuo’s golden core, reducing him to a ruined man as well, before dispelling the Star Constellation Sword Formation.

Yet at that moment, a cold gleam suddenly flashed; Chen Nan instinctively tilted his head to dodge, but a shallow cut still appeared on his face.

The short sword embedded itself into a tree, its hilt still trembling.

Looking coldly, Chen Nan saw a handsome-faced man with long hair draping over his shoulders, wearing a headband, his eyes filled with indifference.

"So you are Chen Nan?" the man commented nonchalantly, sizing him up, "It seems nothing special, no three heads and six arms, why then are those junior brothers so afraid of you?"

"If I bring your head back, not only will Master be pleased, but those junior brothers and sisters should also be relieved of their fear."

"Senior Brother?" Tan Zhuo’s voice sounded joyfully, "Quick, save us."

"No, Senior Brother, you must notify Master quickly, you’re not his match."

Upon hearing Tan Zhuo’s words, Chen Nan realized the man before him was Zhu Sheng, Master Xuanming’s senior disciple, a Fourth Layer of Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Chen Nan’s lips slowly curved into a satisfied smile at the current situation.

"Great, I was worried about how to lure you out, but you’ve surprisingly come on your own, how considerate of you; for that, I’ll make it quick for you later."

"Hmph, such arrogance!"

Zhu Sheng snorted coldly, obviously displeased, shooting a vicious glare at Tan Zhuo.

To let him go notify Master indicates he’s inferior to Chen Nan? After all, he is two realms above Chen Nan.

He started to form seals with his hands, his aura rapidly surging, his body emitting a metallic sheen, as the densely scattered stones on the ground began to float.

Every stone was covered by a layer of mana, and then they shot towards Chen Nan with a breaking wind boom.

This sight filled Tan Zhuo with despair; having faced Chen Nan, he knew well of Chen Nan’s despair-inducing formidable strength, but his senior brother could not let it go due to face.

"This is really the end..." he moaned miserably.

Chen Nan was thrilled inside, as all of Master Xuanming’s disciples were simply foolhardy, and highly conceited from top to bottom, making it easy for him to capture them all in one fell swoop.

He slightly flicked his finger, and all the stones shattered three steps away from him, their broken edges smooth and mirrored, evidently cut apart.

It was as if a sharp blade had cut through these stones in an instant.

In reality, Chen Nan used Shadowless Silk, forming a web in front of him, reducing the stones to dust as they hit it.

"You killed my junior brother, insulted my master, today your life will pay for it all!"

Zhu Sheng shouted furiously, forming seals with his hands, as a burst of red mist emanated from his fingertips, falling onto the shattered stones, causing them to aggregate.

In the blink of an eye, a stone giant appeared before Chen Nan!
