“Chen Nan!”
“To be honest,”
“Your fortune even makes me envious.”
“How about this?”
“Stop struggling. I’ll take you back to Fengdu City.”
“If you’re willing to pledge allegiance to the Emperor’s Tutor, I will plead with him on your behalf.”
Although shocked by Chen Nan’s fortune,
Chen Nan’s current displayed strength,
At best, could injure him.
It wasn’t enough to kill him.
“Indeed, all this started because I killed Ma Sanyuan and his son!” Chen Nan struggled to pull the bow.
An Xuanmo: “Actually, even if you hadn’t killed them, I would have gone to Tongcheng to kill them.”
“Their end was already sealed.”
“But they couldn’t die at the hands of an outsider.”
Whoosh!
The arrow on the bow suddenly turned golden-red.
The terrifying heat warped the void,
Causing a willow tree dozens of meters away to spontaneously combust.
Chen Nan’s eyes ignited with blazing flames at this moment.
In this instant,
An Xuanmo felt a sense of death,
As if he were being targeted by the Grim Reaper.
“Stop it quickly!”
Di Ting’s voice held a hint of panic: “With your current ability, you cannot control more fire laws, or you will suffer a backlash!”
Chen Nan’s face was contorted with madness: “If my current strength is not enough to shoot down a厉鬼境 (Li Gui Realm) expert, then I will unleash even greater power.”
“Do you think I’ll just wait to die?” An Xuanmo’s face was filled with unease, and terrifying Yin energy roared out from within him, trying to break free from his restraints.
He knew,
If he were shot by Chen Nan,
He would surely die.
Because the power Chen Nan was unleashing at this moment was terrifying.
“Qingqing, let’s go!”
Lu Bailing soared into the air, transforming back into her giant python form, and immediately coiled around An Xuanmo.
Lu Qingqing followed suit.
The sisters’ bodies intertwined like a twisted rope.
The terrifying force made An Xuanmo let out an enraged roar.
He already felt restrained by the spatial law,
Let alone being entwined by two powerful snake demons at the 夺体境 (Duo Ti Realm).
“Die!”
With Chen Nan’s furious shout,
The golden-red arrow shot across the void.
Into An Xuanmo’s forehead under his terrified, desperate gaze.
But it did not pierce through his head.
Instead, the moment it entered his skull,
The fire law forcefully infiltrated his Sea of Consciousness,
Causing him to let out a heart-wrenching scream.
An Xuanmo’s strength was formidable,
But,
The fire law entering his Sea of Consciousness instantly damaged his soul.
Even his attempt to escape his soul became a vain hope.
“Chen Nan, even if you kill me,”
“The Emperor’s Tutor will not let you go!”
An Xuanmo’s face was filled with utter humiliation.
He was a 厉鬼境 (Li Gui Realm) expert,
A top-tier cultivator in the entire Underworld.
Yet,
He never expected to die at the hands of a mere ant at the eighth level of the 化形境 (Hua Xing Realm).
Seeing An Xuanmo unleash a terrifying surge of Yin energy,
The Lu sisters immediately reverted to human form and retreated beside Chen Nan.
As for An Xuanmo,
He fell from the sky,
His entire body engulfed in roaring flames.
Even if he tried to extinguish the flames,
The source of the fire originated from the depths of his soul!
These flames were simply inextinguishable.
Unless he died!
For a moment,
A smell of barbecue wafted through the air.
Di Ting strode forward, his eyes filled with compassion: “He was, after all, a 厉鬼境 (Li Gui Realm) expert!”
“To make him suffer such torment.”
“It’s truly too… too cruel!”
“He should be granted a quick end.”
Saying this, under An Xuanmo’s horrified gaze, he transformed into his true form.
Then, he opened his cavernous maw,
And directly bit off An Xuanmo’s head.
“Heavens!”
“Di Ting?”
“Was that white dog just Di Ting?”
“How could he have submitted to Chen Nan?”
An Xuanmo’s intense unwillingness to accept his fate led him to depart from the mortal world.
Crunch!
Di Ting voraciously devoured An Xuanmo’s body.
“Old dog, I have some barbecue seasonings here, want me to add some for you?” Guo Yu trotted forward, a fawning smile on his face.
There was no choice.
He had already offended Di Ting by riding on him earlier.
He had to make amends now.
Di Ting thought for a moment and said, “More chili, less salt. This old dog can’t eat too much salt.”
“Coming right up!”
Guo Yu took out a ceramic jar.
He sprinkled the chili powder inside onto An Xuanmo’s corpse.
Then he added a small amount of salt.
Di Ting took a bite, his eyes shining: “Heh!”
“Not bad!”
“This is the taste!”
“So authentic!”
Chen Nan forcefully extinguished the flames on his body, his face flushed: “Stop putting on a show here. Eat quickly, and once you’re done, we’ll head to Guangling Prefecture as soon as possible.”
“Young Master Chen, are you injured?” Lu Bailing looked at Chen Nan with concern.
Chen Nan managed a weak smile: “It’s nothing serious. How about you two sisters? Are you alright?”
Lu Bailing shook her head: “My sister and I are unharmed!”
Although Lu Qingqing’s neck had been grazed by An Xuanmo’s sword energy earlier,
Such an injury was nothing to her.
“Young Master Chen, why does your body feel so hot?” Lu Qingqing looked at Chen Nan incredulously. As she approached him, she felt as if she were nearing a bonfire.
This was definitely not the body temperature of a normal person.
Di Ting swallowed An Xuanmo’s body in large gulps.
After a burp, he spoke: “Although this fellow obtained the fire law, he could only wield two ten-thousandths of it. An attack of this magnitude wasn’t enough to kill An Xuanmo.”
“Therefore, he forcefully controlled four ten-thousandths of the fire law.”
“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to save you two sisters.”
“However,”
“Doing so would cause him to suffer a backlash from the fire law.”
“His body being scorching hot is a precursor to the backlash.”
“If he cannot completely control the fire law within his body,”
“He will spontaneously combust and turn to ash!”
Di Ting was not trying to scare the Lu Bailing and Lu Qingqing sisters.
After all, Chen Nan had only obtained the fire law,
But had not completely mastered it.
And forcefully controlling the fire law came at a price.
“Young Master Chen, why would you do this!” Lu Bailing’s eyes welled up with tears: “You clearly left, so why would you risk your life for my sister and me?”
“How can our lives be compared to yours?”
She was grateful for everything Chen Nan had done for them,
But she did not want to witness him suffer the backlash of the fire law.
Lu Qingqing’s eyes also brimmed with tears: “Yes, Young Master Chen, you risked your life to save us. How can we sisters ever repay your kindness?”
The sisters already harbored feelings for Chen Nan,
Let alone this time when Chen Nan selflessly rescued them.
This debt of gratitude,
They didn’t know how to repay.
Chen Nan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pulled the two sisters into his embrace, a mischievous smile on his face: “How about, you two offer yourselves to me?”
The Lu Bailing and Lu Qingqing sisters looked at each other in disbelief.
There was such a good thing?
