The old man had one hand behind his back.
His long hair fluttered in the wind.
He exuded an ethereal, detached aura.
Especially the indifference in his eyes.
He seemed like a supreme ruler, dictating the fates of others.
Liu Jun exclaimed, "Are you Liu Anzhi, the Sect Master of the Xuanyi Sect?"
Liu Jun, a prominent wealthy figure in Jizhou City, knew Liu Anzhi, the most powerful cultivator in Jizhou.
This man was a peak Nascent Soul stage expert.
Extremely strong.
Not to be underestimated.
Chen Nan chuckled, "Did the Han family send you to kill me?"
Liu Anzhi replied, "Your head is worth five billion."
Chen Nan frowned, "My life is only worth five billion?"
Liu Anzhi retorted, "That's already quite a lot, isn't it?"
"I'm afraid you won't live to claim the five billion!" Chen Nan shook his head slightly. Peak Nascent Soul stage cultivators were indeed formidable in the mortal world, but to him, they could be annihilated with a flick of his finger.
"Die!"
Liu Anzhi pressed his hand forward.
A palm formed from true qi materialized and descended upon Chen Nan.
The void trembled.
Liu Jun's breath hitched.
He felt an immense pressure bearing down on him.
Even though Chen Nan was the First Protector of the Nation,
He didn't know if he could withstand the opponent's fatal blow.
"Scram!"
Chen Nan's voice boomed like thunder.
Invisible soundwaves shattered Liu Anzhi's attack.
They instantly pierced through Liu Anzhi's chest.
Pfft!
Liu Anzhi coughed up a mouthful of blood.
His body, out of his control, crashed to the ground.
He stared at Chen Nan as if he had seen a ghost, "What is your cultivation level?"
"Why are you so powerful?"
Liu Anzhi's composure crumbled.
In his estimation,
A young man in his twenties,
Even if exceptionally talented,
Could at most be an early Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
But he never dreamed that
His peak Nascent Soul stage cultivation would be severely injured by the opponent's unseen force.
Liu Jun was also greatly shocked.
Was Chen Nan's strength this immense?
Chen Nan lit a cigarette between his lips and said nonchalantly, "My realm is not important. What matters is that you cannot kill me today."
Liu Anzhi struggled to stand up, a bright long sword appearing in his hand. "I take people's money and resolve their troubles. Since I've accepted the Han family's payment, I naturally must take your head."
Before his words could fully land, he had already placed the sword at his own neck.
"Damn it, why can't I control my body?"
At this moment,
Liu Anzhi was utterly dumbfounded.
His body was no longer under his control.
He wasn't stupid.
He knew this was Chen Nan's doing.
However,
To control the body of a peak Nascent Soul stage expert, what level of cultivation must he himself possess?
At this moment,
Chen Nan's voice echoed, "Go tell Han Feiyang that I have obtained evidence of the Han family's crimes."
"In three days, I will go to the Han family and bring him to justice."
The next moment,
Liu Anzhi's body, out of his control, flew into the air and headed towards the Han family.
Chen Nan looked at Liu Jun, "Contact the others you met today. I'm worried they might have met with misfortune as well."
Liu Jun quickly took out his phone and dialed their numbers.
Except for Qu Zongsheng, whose phone was off.
None of the other numbers were answered.
"Mr. Chen, they have likely suffered retaliation from the Han family," Liu Jun said with a sorrowful and angry expression.
After today's events,
He had truly seen the true colors of the Han family.
They were like demons.
Chen Nan sighed, "The deceased should rest in peace. Let your relatives be buried first!"
------
Han Family.
Meng Jie, with a sallow complexion, arrived at a pavilion in the back courtyard of the villa.
Han Feiyang was currently in the pavilion, sipping tea with Luo Kun.
Meng Jie's sudden appearance made Han Feiyang frown, "Didn't I tell you to capture Jian Ning alive? Why are you back alone?"
Luo Kun set down his teacup, his expression grave, "You're injured? Could it be that Chen Nan is at the Jian family's place?"
Meng Jie was a peak Golden Core stage expert.
In the mortal world, he was almost invincible.
Therefore,
Seeing Meng Jie injured, his first thought was of Chen Nan.
Han Feiyang, however, said, "Impossible. Chen Nan was dining with sixteen wealthy individuals earlier. He couldn't possibly have been at Jian Ning's funeral."
Meng Jie said weakly, "It was Jian Jianhua who injured me."
Slam!
Han Feiyang angrily slammed his teacup down and glared at Meng Jie, "Jian Jianhua is just an ant who has just entered the Qi Refining stage. How could he injure you?"
"Do you take me for a fool?"
Meng Jie also showed a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
If not for the faulty intelligence, he wouldn't have been so severely injured.
But considering the background of Han Feiyang, he swallowed his displeasure.
He said in a low voice, "Whether Mr. Han believes me or not, the injuries on my body were caused by Jian Jianhua."
"He is a peak Nascent Soul stage expert."
Han Feiyang laughed in anger, "If he's a peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator, then I'm a peerless expert at the peak of the Mahayana stage."
Luo Kun picked up his teacup and took a sip of water, his tone indifferent, "I've met Jian Jianhua before. He has no foundation whatsoever."
"It's a stretch even for him to reach the first level of Qi Refining."
"Peak Nascent Soul stage?"
"Heh!"
"Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't believe that."
Pfft!
Meng Jie spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was clearly telling the truth,
Yet they refused to believe him.
At this moment,
Dong Yan also returned to the Han family, his face full of terror.
He thought Chen Nan would kill him,
But he hadn't expected to be let go.
Han Feiyang asked, "How did the task go?"
Dong Yan replied, "Except for Liu Jun, everyone else is dead."
Han Feiyang looked confused, "Why is Liu Jun still alive?"
Dong Yan said, "Chen Nan appeared at the critical moment. That person is very powerful. I am no match for him."
Han Feiyang flew into a rage, "I knew those traitors had ulterior motives. Did Liu Jun call Chen Nan for help?"
Dong Yan nodded.
Han Feiyang snorted, "I've already invited Liu Anzhi from the Xuanyi Sect to kill Chen Nan. With his intervention, Chen Nan will surely have no hope of survival."
"Before nine o'clock tonight, he will deliver Chen Nan's head."
Upon saying this,
He looked at Luo Kun and said courteously, "Brother Luo, would you mind doing me a favor and visiting Jian Jianhua's hometown?"
The Jian family must die.
Jian Ning must be captured.
He wanted to take Jian Ning as his own, right before Chen Nan's eyes.
Luo Kun stood up, casting a disdainful glance at Meng Jie, "I'd like to see if Jian Jianhua has truly reached the peak Nascent Soul stage as you claim."
Meng Jie clenched his fists, "I am not lying."
"Hmph, even if he has reached the peak Nascent Soul stage, this old man can still defeat him." Luo Kun said and was about to use a teleportation technique to leave. However,
He suddenly showed a grave expression, as if facing a formidable enemy, "I sense powerful presences approaching."
Han Feiyang looked tense.
The next second,
Liu Anzhi, with a long sword at his neck, landed out of nowhere.
Han Feiyang was utterly bewildered.
He couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master Liu, why do you have a sword at your neck?"
Liu Anzhi cursed, "Do you think I *want* to have a sword at my neck? I have no choice."
"Chen Nan is controlling my body."
Boom!
This simple statement,
Made everyone's scalp tingle.
Chen Nan could control the body of a peak Nascent Soul stage expert?
