Dashing Student-Chapter 1162: Auction Inventory

Encountering a disciple of the Yuantian Sect by chance, Chen Nan felt a bitter sensation in his heart, but there was no avoiding this battle.

The cultivator before him had eyes full of greed, treating him like a monumental achievement.

The flying sword came whistling over, the sharp Sword Qi slicing through the ground, leaving a long gully.

Chen Nan gritted his teeth, his body suddenly vanishing from its original spot, leaving a Seven Stars Mark on the ground, narrowly dodging the flying sword.

Even such a simple movement caused him excruciating pain, rebroken some barely healed bones, and cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.

This scene brought great joy to the Yuantian Sect cultivator opposite, eager to applaud: "Haha, indeed a body gravely injured, now it’s a real bargain for me!"

As he finished speaking, he performed a seal technique with his hands, and the longsword flew back to hover above his head. As he poured mana into the flying sword, it instantly expanded to over ten feet long, the blade enveloped with sharp Sword Qi.

With a whoosh, the flying sword streaked across the sky, its tip pointing straight at Chen Nan. The mere sharp Sword Qi split open a slight wound on Chen Nan’s brow, a drop of fresh blood trickled out.

Chen Nan’s expression turned grim, and the Nabing Lotus Heart instantly flew from his body. Seven array swords ascended into the sky, then embedded themselves into the ground, completing the Star Constellation Sword Formation in an instant.

Countless Sword Qi immediately coalesced, constantly battering against the flying sword, finally knocking it away just before it could pierce Chen Nan.

"Hmm?"

The Yuantian Sect cultivator obviously did not expect Chen Nan to possess such a lethal weapon, becoming cautious.

Soon, all the Sword Qi within the sword formation began to fly toward him, causing his scalp to tingle with unease. He quickly retrieved his flying sword.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Sword Qi incessantly struck the flying sword, sparking countless bursts of fire, yet failed to injure the Yuantian Sect cultivator.

"You’re already severely injured; I don’t believe you can hold on for too long!"

The Yuantian Sect cultivator gave a cold snort, recalling the longsword to focus on defense, blocking out all the Sword Qi, a turtle shell-like shadow appearing outside his body, certain that the severely injured Chen Nan couldn’t endure long.

"Damn it, like a retreating turtle!"

Chen Nan cursed under his breath. His current state was indeed terrible, unable to engage in prolonged combat, with his weak point easily exploited.

"I must end this quickly!"

He gritted his teeth and charged into the sword formation himself, his fingers hooking the Shadowless Silk tightly around the Yuantian Sect cultivator’s flying sword.

The flying sword, like an insect caught in a spider’s web, found it extremely difficult to move.

Before the Yuantian Sect cultivator could react, silver flashed in Chen Nan’s hand. A silver giant hammer appeared, descending fiercely upon the turtle shell below!

With a boom, the ground shook violently; Chen Nan heard a cracking sound from his arm, the barely healed bones breaking again.

However, this strike caused cracks to appear on the turtle-shell shadow the Yuantian Sect cultivator had cast, then it shattered completely.

Chen Nan’s eyes brightened. Despite his body’s pain, he willed the Void Breaking Sword and Soul Destruction Nail to suddenly fly out, stabbing toward the Yuantian Sect cultivator from behind.

"Annihilate!"

He roared, and the Sword Qi amidst the sword formation seized this opportunity, stabbing toward the Yuantian Sect cultivator.

Chen Nan unleashed every technique he had, finally forcing a lapse in the Yuantian Sect cultivator’s defense, allowing the Soul Destruction Nail to pierce into his flesh mercilessly.

In an instant, it felt as if his divine soul was being torn apart, his mind going blank.

When he snapped back to his senses, Chen Nan was already before him, the giant hammer smashing down fiercely, blood and flesh splattering, killing him miserably.

At this moment, Chen Nan suddenly felt as if his head was splitting open, the aftereffects of his damaged divine soul returning!

Along with the exertion from the battle just now, his injuries that had barely begun to mend had worsened considerably.

The dual agony nearly caused Chen Nan to faint. Luckily, it only lasted a moment before the intense pain in his mind subsided.

Chen Nan quickly gathered up the remains of storage bags on the ground and then changed direction to flee, not even knowing where he could go to find safety.

It would be best to leave Yan State, but he knew that all teleportation arrays across Yan State had people stationed by Master Xuanming, escaping seemed as hard as ascending to the heavens.

Dragging his severely injured body, Chen Nan ran over three hundred miles before finally finding a city, quickly entering and booking a room at an inn.

He didn’t even pay attention to which city he entered, only knowing that if he didn’t tend to his injuries, he might faint outside.

With Master Xuanming dispatching a large number of disciples to find him, fainting would definitely be a bad situation.

Entering the guest room, Chen Nan quickly took out the storage bag he had obtained. Upon opening it, he found quite a number of Seventh Grade Healing Pills inside.

While searching for the healing pills, he discovered a list within the storage bag that was quite peculiar. Taking it out for a look, his heart leaped with joy.

It was an auction list, and two spiritual medicines on the list piqued his interest greatly, something he must obtain.

One was the Sixth Grade Ink Jade Lotus, a spiritual medicine for repairing the divine soul, which, when combined with other spiritual medicines, could be used to refine the Ink Lotus Nourishing God Pill to repair divine soul injuries.

The second was the Heavenly Illusion Fruit, also Sixth Grade, but not very useful to the Human Clan. On the contrary, it was extremely precious to the Demon Clan.

This is because the Heavenly Illusion Fruit, combined with other spiritual medicines, could refine the Transformation Pill, allowing the Demon Clan to perfectly transform into humanoid form at a young age, activating their bloodline.

The Demon Clan could transform into human form upon reaching a certain realm, and humans, favored by the Heavenly Dao, made the Demon Clan strive to transform into human form.

Generally, the sooner they form human shape, the greater the potential.

As for the Heavenly Illusion Fruit, Chen Nan was only somewhat interested, considering Song Ya was formerly from the Demon Clan, but his target remained the Ink Jade Lotus.

"The auction is to be held in Luoshui City, in a month, but I don’t even know where Luoshui City is."

Muttering softly to himself, Chen Nan began to heal his injuries.

With so many Seventh Grade Healing Pills, he believed that in a month’s time, his injuries should recover significantly.

...

Elsewhere, Master Xuanming had not given up on searching for Chen Nan, but his disciples had suffered multiple attacks, losing numerous disciples without even catching a glimpse of Chen Nan.

Every time he arrived, Chen Nan would have already fled far away.

Once more, only seeing his disciple’s corpse, Master Xuanming’s rage boiled over, his body shaking with fury, his eyes turning a fiery red.

"Chen Nan, you little brat! You dare to toy with me; when I catch you, I’ll make you wish you were dead!"

Master Xuanming gnashed his teeth. Previously, he had only coveted Chen Nan’s Yin Yang Spirit Body blood, but now he truly hated him.
