Cang Ning said, "It's the Blood Emperor's people. They have three hundred cultivators, all in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and even five Pseudo Core stage powerhouses, and one Golden Core stage powerhouse!"
"Activate the mountain protection formation. I will head to Cangyun Peak immediately!"
No matter who wanted to occupy Cangyun Peak, Chen Nan would not let them succeed!
------
"People of the Huashan Sword Sect, listen up! You are no match for us. I advise you to give up your resistance and hand over Cangyun Peak to us obediently!"
"Otherwise, after we break through your mountain protection formation, we will surely bathe the Huashan Sword Sect in blood!"
Below Cangyun Peak!
An old man with a white beard and hair let out a booming voice!
His name was Zong Qiang, a trusted subordinate of the Blood Emperor!
As a Golden Core stage powerhouse, he could break the Huashan Sword Sect's mountain protection formation in an instant!
However!
This would inevitably damage Cangyun Peak!
This was not the outcome they desired!
Their goal was to occupy Cangyun Peak and cultivate there!
If Cangyun Peak were destroyed, their Lord Blood Emperor would not let them off!
Cang Ning stood on the mountain, his eyes icy. "You want my Huashan Sword Sect to surrender without a fight? You wish!"
"Even if the disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect die, we will not let you have your way!"
"Overestimating yourselves!"
Zong Qiang unleashed a sword strike!
The brilliant sword light, like the scorching sun, emanated a destructive aura as it landed heavily on the Huashan Sword Sect's protective formation, causing ripples!
A muffled impact erupted!
It also made many disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect vomit blood!
The Huashan Sword Sect's protective formation was maintained by everyone. Cultivators with lower realms could not withstand this terrifying impact!
Some even died on the spot!
"Your Huashan Sword Sect only has over two thousand disciples. I'll see how long you can hold out!" Zong Qiang attacked again, sword energy crisscrossing for hundreds of meters!
Boom, boom, boom!
Impacts sounded one after another!
The formation's light enveloping Cangyun Peak was also rapidly weakening!
The Huashan Sword Sect had suffered countless casualties, with only over a thousand Foundation Establishment realm experts still holding on!
But without exception!
No one thought of giving up!
Their belief was to fight to the death!
Zong Qiang's eyes were filled with disbelief. "I really don't understand why you would make such a foolish choice?"
"Don't you know that of the so-called Eight Great Sects, all except Shaolin have been occupied?"
Cang Ning said in a low voice, "You probably don't know who the Sect Master of our Huashan Sword Sect is, do you?"
Zong Qiang sneered, "Is he very strong?"
Cang Ning grinned, "Not very strong, but he saved a city single-handedly!"
"Is the person you're talking about named Chen Nan?" Zong Qiang's brows furrowed. Although they had only recently arrived in the mortal world, they knew of Chen Nan.
This person, with his own strength, had saved a city, severely dampening the morale of the cultivators!
"Yes!" Cang Ning said with a ferocious expression. "The Sect Master of our Huashan Sword Sect is a loyal and righteous individual. He is the pride of our Huashan Sword Sect!"
"As disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect, how could we do something as treacherous as selling out our master for glory?"
When Chen Nan became the Sect Master of the Huashan Sword Sect, everyone in the sect had decided to serve the country.
Moreover, when the incident occurred in Wuyang City, the Huashan Sword Sect had sent hundreds of disciples to help!
Zong Qiang snorted, "Even if your Sect Master is Chen Nan, so what? If he dares to show himself, I will slay him with my sword right now!"
A Pseudo Core stage powerhouse said, "Do you think killing Yan Xiong means you can disregard all cultivators?"
"I tell you, Yan Xiong is an insignificant figure in hell!"
"Where is your hero Sect Master? Let him come out and die quickly!"
The people behind Zong Qiang burst into laughter.
"I heard you want to kill me?"
Without any warning!
A cold voice echoed behind everyone!
This made many people shiver!
They hadn't sensed anyone approaching at all!
Turning around, they saw a burly, handsome man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a cigarette in his mouth, and his hands in his pockets, walking slowly!
Behind him followed a middle-aged man in a green robe!
Upon seeing the middle-aged man in the green robe, a hint of dread flashed in Zong Qiang's eyes!
As a Golden Core stage level two powerhouse, he couldn't discern the other party's strength!
But he knew he was Chen Nan's Fourth Uncle, after all, it was he who had severed Yan Xiong's head back then!
"The Sect Master is back! Activate the barrier formation and fight alongside the Sect Master!"
Chen Nan's appearance seemed to energize Cang Ning like he had been injected with chicken blood!
The disciples of the Huashan Sword Sect also had their eyes shining!
They removed the formation and, wielding their long swords, rushed down the mountain!
Zong Qiang's eyes were filled with disdain. "A bunch of ants, trying to compete with the bright moon?"
"Chen Nan, our Lord Blood Emperor fancies Cangyun Peak. We hope you won't be ungrateful and offer it to him!"
"Otherwise, your Huashan Sword Sect disciples will die tragically before your eyes!" Zong Qiang's gaze was arrogant. Even with Chen Nan's Fourth Uncle accompanying him, he was confident he could fight the opponent!
"I fancy your head, and I want it as a chamber pot. I hope you don't be foolish and offer it to me!" Chen Nan's tone was flat, but he displayed the utmost arrogance!
After all, not everyone dared to speak to a Golden Core stage powerhouse like this!
As soon as these words were uttered!
Zong Qiang, and the powerhouses he brought, were all enraged!
"Little Chen Nan, you truly deserve to die! How dare you insult a Golden Core stage powerhouse like this!"
"Senior Zong Qiang, let me kill this person!"
"This brat is too presumptuous. He must be killed!"
"Kill him!" Zong Qiang was also provoked and directly ordered the attack!
"Die!"
Two Pseudo Core stage powerhouses charged at Chen Nan!
"You want to kill the Sect Master of our Huashan Sword Sect? Are you treating us as if we don't exist?" Cang Ning led the group to the foot of the mountain and, without a word, drew his sword and charged!
"Fourth Uncle, please lend your esteemed hand to slay this person!" Chen Nan looked at the Sword Immortal puppet, as he still had to put on a show!
"Killing him is as easy as lifting a hand!"
The Sword Immortal puppet, wielding a blunt heavy sword, charged at Zong Qiang!
Chen Nan didn't know his exact cultivation level, so he first activated a spirit stone within the Sword Immortal puppet.
Let's test it first!
After all, the Sword Immortal puppet couldn't be killed!
If the opponent's strength was above his, he could activate the second, or even the third spirit stone, at any time!
Just as the Sword Immortal puppet was fighting Zong Qiang, a Pseudo Core stage powerhouse appeared before Chen Nan, holding a sharp sword!
Their speed was extraordinary!
Like a gust of wind!
Chen Nan looked at them in surprise. "Close combat with me?"
"You probably don't know my strength, do you?"
As he spoke, his internal energy surged. Without even using a weapon, he punched towards the figure who had appeared to his side!
That was a Pseudo Core stage powerhouse, just one step away from the Golden Core stage!
"Your strength is indeed not bad, but I am a Pseudo Core stage powerhouse. I'm not as weak as you imagine!" the middle-aged man said with a grim expression.
As soon as his voice fell, Chen Nan, to everyone's disbelief, exploded the opponent's head with a single punch!
