Countless flower petals floated in the air.
Carrying Du Yuan slowly forward.
Dressed in a pale pink gown.
White silk revealed her graceful lines and clear collarbone.
Her gait was elegant and gentle.
Her three thousand dark tresses were tied with a ribbon.
A butterfly hairpin adorned her hair, with a strand of dark silk hanging down her chest.
Lightly powdered, enhancing her beauty. A hint of blush on her cheeks created a delicate tenderness, like flower petals.
Her entire being seemed like a butterfly dancing in the wind, or like pure, clear ice and snow.
Her lightly painted brows held a spring in her eyes, her skin smooth and refined like warm jade, soft and lustrous.
Her cherry-like mouth was naturally rosy,娇艳欲滴 (delicately beautiful and desirable).
Two strands of hair by her cheeks gently brushed her face in the wind.
Adding a touch of alluring charm.
In this instant.
Chen Nan found himself captivated.
He hadn't expected Du Yuan to be here.
And if truth be told.
This beautiful older sister was truly becoming more alluring.
And in this moment.
He even forgot that his body and soul were being consumed by fire.
Du Yuan nodded to Chen Nan, then spoke in a soft voice: "Esteemed guests, please grant me some face and give the opportunity of the Fire God Sect to my Hundred Flowers Valley."
Her voice was soft and melodious, possessing a magical charm.
It could relax one's mind and spirit.
Xiang Tian She, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, chuckled lightly, not taking Du Yuan seriously at all: "Valley Master Du, your Hundred Flowers Valley likely doesn't have that much influence, does it?"
Wan Yan, the master of the Hidden Sword Manor, said nonchalantly: "Since ancient times, treasures of the world have gone to those with the ability to obtain them. If Hundred Flowers Valley desires the Fire God Sect's opportunity, they are welcome to try and seize it."
"If this opportunity ultimately falls into the hands of Hundred Flowers Valley, then it is their destiny."
Yu Bo, the master of the Heavenly Net Tower: "This is only right."
It was clear.
They did not wish to give up this opportunity they had in hand to Hundred Flowers Valley.
After all, the Fire God Sect was a power that even the imperial court had to fear ten thousand years ago.
Even Emperor Fengdu himself had once come to this place to worship the Fire God.
Du Yuan ascended into the air, appearing beside Chen Nan.
After a smile towards him, she then looked at the other four experts in the Body Seizing realm: "He is my man. If you wish to covet the opportunity on him, you must defeat me first."
Her voice was calm, yet incredibly firm.
Wan Yan, the master of the Hidden Sword Manor, showed surprise: "He is your man? I never imagined that the aloof Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley would fancy a pretty boy."
"If this news were to spread, it would surely shock the entire cultivation world."
Xiang Tian She, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, grinned, revealing his dark teeth: "Valley Master Du, you are a person of high status, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley. Many people desire you, how could you fancy this pretty boy?"
Du Yuan was the most extraordinary woman in the cultivation world.
Not only was her strength transcendent.
Her appearance, her figure.
And her aura.
Were all top-tier in the cultivation world.
Countless suitors, including high-ranking officials and wealthy nobles, had pursued her.
But she had rejected them all.
Who would have thought.
She would fall for a mere trash at the first level of the Soul Gathering realm.
"Who I like is my prerogative!" Du Yuan summoned a red long sword, and her entire aura underwent a dramatic transformation.
Killing intent surged, as if she were a goddess of war: "You can question me, but I will absolutely not allow you to slander the man I love!"
*Swish!*
Without warning.
A streak of sword energy tore through the night sky, heading towards Xiang Tian She, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect.
Xiang Tian She quickly evaded.
They had initially thought Du Yuan was merely speaking.
But they hadn't expected.
She would fly into a rage over being called a pretty boy.
It seemed.
This pretty boy indeed had some extraordinary qualities.
He had completely captured Du Yuan's heart.
Otherwise.
She wouldn't have lost her composure and become so furious over a single sentence.
"Sister, please step back and let me deal with them!" Chen Nan gritted his teeth, controlling the last shred of his reason from being consumed by the flames.
If that were to happen.
He would suffer a backlash.
And be instantly reduced to ashes.
Therefore.
These people had arrived at the perfect time.
They could help him vent the energy accumulated within his body.
Du Yuan was somewhat worried.
After all, these four were all peak Body Seizing realm experts.
Their strength was transcendent.
Even if Chen Nan had obtained an opportunity, he would absolutely not be their match.
However.
She truly couldn't bear to refuse him!
Yes.
Even though she cared about Chen Nan.
She truly couldn't bear to refuse him.
Thus.
She retreated to the side.
Intending to trust Chen Nan.
If Chen Nan were to be in any danger, she could still intervene in time.
If.
If something unfortunate were to happen to him.
She would surely raze the Hidden Sword Manor.
Raze the Moon Worship Sect.
The Five Poisons Sect.
And even the Heavenly Net Tower.
She would make the disciples of the four great sects pay with their lives for Chen Nan.
Wan Yan, the master of the Hidden Sword Manor,'s eyes gleamed: "Everyone, as long as we extract the divine fire from his body, we will obtain the opportunity of the Fire God Sect!"
"The opportunity is before us, let each display their unique skills!"
As he spoke.
He thrust a palm forward.
Instantly.
Dense, numerous swords appeared around Chen Nan.
Their cold, menacing tips locked onto him from all directions.
"Die!"
With a low growl from Wan Yan.
Countless swords pierced into Chen Nan's body simultaneously.
*Puff!*
The moment those swords entered Chen Nan's body.
A scorching flame erupted from within him.
The flames enveloped those swords, causing them to melt instantly.
"Is this truly divine fire? How can its power be so terrifying?" Wan Yan's face turned ashen.
He hadn't expected his treasured possessions.
To be melted in an instant.
"Mmm... Comfortable!"
"So comfortable!"
Amidst the flames.
Chen Nan let out satisfied moans.
"Can your attacks be any more intense?"
"It's fine."
"Go all out!"
"Attack with all your might."
"I can take it."
Chen Nan, like a pervert, let out a near-mad laugh.
Wan Yan's previous attack had released the energy accumulated within him.
"Let me try!" Yu Bo, the master of the Heavenly Net Tower, picked up a jade flute and played a passionate, soaring melody.
Visible sound waves transformed into sword light and blade shadows, piercing the void and falling upon Chen Nan.
Chen Nan floated serenely in the air.
Allowing the sword light and blade shadows to penetrate his body.
The flames on his body flickered.
Like a candle on the verge of extinguishing.
He closed his eyes, a look of bliss on his face: "Yes, this is it. Only like this can you kill me and extract the divine fire from my body."
"See?"
"As a mere first-level Soul Gathering realm cultivator, I can use the divine fire to withstand your attacks."
"If you were to obtain the divine fire, wouldn't you soar to the heavens and become an invincible existence?"
"Don't just stand there."
"Come and take a swing!"
"Quick, quick, I'll accompany you in flying."
"Unleash your strongest techniques and attack me!"
"As soon as I die."
"The opportunity on me will be yours."
Chen Nan was like a pervert.
But his mind was remarkably clear.
Because after that last attack.
A lot of the accumulated energy within him had been released.
If these people continued to attack.
He would definitely be able to control the fire laws within his body.
The leaders of the four reclusive sects furrowed their brows.
Vaguely sensing that Chen Nan had ulterior motives.
However.
None of that mattered.
What mattered was that they saw the potential of the divine fire.
As Chen Nan had said.
With only the Soul Gathering realm, he could instantly kill swarms of Form Transformation realm, and even Soul Devouring realm experts.
This showed the terrifying power of the divine fire.
For a moment.
The four Body Seizing realm experts unleashed their strongest techniques and attacked Chen Nan.
Chen Nan was like a living target, his face filled with madness, allowing the attacks of the four to land upon him.
Three seconds later.
His previously stiff body suddenly moved.
A pair of wings made of flames appeared behind him.
He.
Had completely mastered the fire laws within his body.
